Yes I do. I am looking for the language where you talk about calculating ratios based on the historical data, take the historic average or median, then project the future numbers for the I/S and B/S (PP&E)etc. Any input is highly appreciated

Agree with VTech. Go for EBITDA based consumer/industrial companies that do not have multiple divisions. No debt is good, also try to find ones without hedging operations or pension plans. Basically the "widget company" from accounting textbooks. I would start with a small-cap consumer or tech stock.

I don't have any I can send, sorry to say. When building the model, stay organized. It helps if you color-code your cells to indicate whether they are hard-coded, linked, or formulas. I prefer using multiple tabs, but you could potentially put it all on one sheet. It might be easier that way.

Hi Captainkoolaid - I'd really appreciate if you could pls fwd me a copy of the 3 statement model. Many thanks!

 

vtech243, any chance you can PM me a model? Unfortunately, I'm new to forum and subsequently, it appears I don't have the requisite number of "banana" points to send you a message.

Thanks!

It's not uncommon that things don't match exactly (however the deviations should not be dramatic, maybe check again). What you propose is quite common, usually you should be able to reconcile the last financial year but it's also acceptable to do as you suggested and only link the projected accounts. In that case it of course helps if you can at least point to where accounts don't match so you'll have to check all the small print in the notes...

 

Most common errors generally involve PP&E (confusing gross vs. net, not factoring in capex, etc.) or stock based compensation. Feel free to send it over if you want me to take a look.
