If I have been given financial statements for 2 years and 1 month of the first forecasted year of 5 years, how should I use the 1 month for the model? Was it given primary to give me a direction for assumptions in forecasting? Should I actually add it to the model after the 2 historical periods? I feel like that may look awkward.
