Potential sources for statements

• I've harvested Infobox Organization, to a limited success.
• Many biography article have some information
• Many non-free paid for databases (Bloomberg and all)
• Potentially a European Union database (I've requested the data)
• Harvesting for Financial Quarterly Reports
• Freebase has many statements that could be suggested.
• Open Corporates has just what we need but it's OdBL (we need to ask a special licence for Wikidata it seems) https://opencorporates.com/companies/ca/7672233
