Re: Projection of FX translation
The final numbers that would be reflected on the IS would also be NET of the FX impact. As such, it would flow through the BS and CF as normal, meaning no extra special adjustment needed.

Re: Seasonal Working Capital
If I'm the seller and you want a greater working capital requirement (i.e. deduction to purchase price), then I would respond and say, ok I spent all that money and I don't get the benefit of that once you presumably sell the inventory during Q4. If I'm the acquiror, I'd make the opposite case s... Read More
