Re: Pro Forma operating statement

You are on the right path. Usually, a pro forma

refers to projected financial statements. A basic

referred to as the "P&L" or "Profit and Loss" Statement.

A complete pro forma would include projected Balance Sheets,

together with projected cash flow statements, working

capital projections, and the like.
