Building a Model In excel

hi everyone,

just wondering if you could help me out. building a model in excel. so the firm im gonna analyse just issued their 10q in feb and doest have a 10k until april. i'm going to be using this model as an example of what i can do when i email my resume around (hopefully someone will notice) because i dont have any formal modelling experience but come from a solid finance background. anyway... my question is this, should i be using LTM for the IS and CF analysis or can i afford to get lazy and just get all the figures from the 10k in 2011. do you guys think anyone looking at it will care or think that i got lazy? your thoughts are appreciated =)

You can always model based on the 2011K 10k but taking into consideration latest 10q for growth estimates. That way if they ask you can say you took it into consideration in your analysis.
