o The 1st tab (worksheet) in your Financial Statement Analysis Template must be labeled Company Information. The following information must be included:
Company Name and ticker symbol
Industry
Products or services offered
Major competitors
An example of this tab is provided in Exhibit A.

o The 3rd tab in your Financial Statement Analysis Template must be labeled Historical Balance Sheets.
