Granite Harbor's June 30, 2027 draft has one column labeled “Q2 revenue.” Which procedure makes the interim comparison and any later forecast reviewable?

Choose the best answer. a Identify the three-month and six-month 2027 flows, matching 2026 comparative flows, current and prior balance-sheet dates, units and scope; then analyze seasonality, estimate changes, events, form, content, and applicable current or pending guidance before forecasting. b Label the six-month column Q2 and multiply it by four because every interim amount is one quarter. c Compare the three-month revenue flow with the June 30 asset balance because both appear in the same filing. d Ignore new events until year end because interim statements are unaudited.
