    Income statement basically lists revenues, in your case fees earned, and then expenses. You then total all revenue accounts, then total all expense accounts, subtract expenses from revenues to fine either the net income or net loss.

    You need this info prior to doing the statement of owners equity because you need the net income or loss to insert into the SOE.

    Like I said, in your account listing, the only revenue account is fees earned. The expense accounts are self explanatory since they have "expense" as the last word.
