    Hey there,

    In this lesson, you’re going to learn how to make income statement projections for the buyer and seller.

    You’ll also learn what exactly an income statement is, some of the most common items, and why we need this statement to complete our merger model.

    You can follow along using the “Before” Excel file above and then check your work with the “After” Excel file.

    Coming up next, we’ll conclude the model by tying everything together, combining the buyer and seller, and calculating accretion / dilution.
