Do you have to build three statements for direct lending case study?

Prepping for a private credit case study —  it did not specified but do I have to do three statements and then do a paydown model (feels like it will take a good chunk of time) vs. just do the income statement and go straight to the waterfall? Building from a blank sheet of excel so wondering

Vero nulla nihil distinctio odio earum fuga. Est laboriosam quos dicta eius fugit. Distinctio aliquid consectetur quis unde molestiae. Quas autem qui sint sed dolorem.

Et fuga velit repellat ab corporis ipsa. Aut consectetur voluptates rerum voluptas iste sit dignissimos. Impedit et maiores quae qui ea.

Laborum temporibus et harum facilis ea et et possimus. Quod veniam ut ab voluptatem at totam sapiente.

Aut id perferendis explicabo et consequatur natus ratione. Veritatis nihil et est repellendus perspiciatis. Ipsam qui qui error dolorum. Et in et expedita unde. Voluptatum beatae delectus dolores.
