As part of the annual review process, companies need to pass a resolution regarding the solvency of their business. This usually occurs within two months following the annual review date.

The outcome of the solvency resolution can be:

Positive—the directors of a company believe that the company will be able to pay it's debts as they're due.
Negative— the directors of a company believe that the company won't be able to pay it's debts as they're due.
No resolution passed—The directors have not passed a resolution within two months of the review date.

Depending on the outcome, you might need to lodge a form 485 - Statement in relation to company solvency for the company.

If the resolution is...

Positive

You don't need to lodge a form, but you should keep a copy of the resolution for your records.

Negative

Lodge a form 485 - Statement in relation to company solvency within 7 days of the date of resolution.

No resolution passed

Lodge a form 485 - Statement in relation to company solvency within the 7 days after the end of the 2-month period following the review date.

For example, if the review date is 12 March 2019 and the directors have not passed a resolution as of 12 May 2019 (i.e. two months after the review date), the company has until 19 May 2019 to lodge this form.
