ANALYSIS OF PRO FORMA STATEMENTS

Managers involved with all levels of authority benefit from using forecasting for their
financial statements as these statements provide assistance for future planning concerning
financial needs. Pro forma statements allow managers to plan the amount of financing that is
needed as well as estimate the future balance sheet, income statement, and company value. The
full intention of a Pro forma statement is to forecast the companys financial statements at any
given time and for any given time period. The following literature describes the ins and outs of
Pro forma, its uses, and why Pro forma is beneficial for managers to use.
Pro forma analysis is a proven method for managers to decide if all of the numbers listed
on a balance sheet show stability and growth within the company. Concentration on a Pro forma
statement can show a decrease in numbers early on, with plenty of time to properly develop a
strategy that makes numbers rise once again. During the beginning stages of forecasting a
manager is able to analyze results of the Pro forma statement and other statements in an attempt
to identify areas that need attention, therefore taking care of issues while they are still in process,
or even months in advance. In addition to making adjustments to issues that arise, managers also
have a great opportunity to make changes so that projected goals can be made and opportunities
can be embraced.
The following graph illustrates the Pro forma process for the next five years based on
data from a 2014 sample provided (UOP, 2013). Based on this graph we can assume that there
will be an increase in sales due to a higher number of products being produced, new products
being introduced, and the quality of the products increasing. As shown, revenue will increase
approximately twice in 2015, followed by an increase of 10% in 2016. Cost of revenue is based

on sales percentage, therefore 60.1% shows that both operating expense and selling expense will
increase in the same manner as sales will.

ANALYSIS OF PRO FORMA STATEMENTS

Although used for forecasting more times than not there are other reasons that managers
use Pro forma analysis; including planning, looking at variances, adjustments, make corrections,
eliminate possible errors, decide what areas are weak versus what areas are strong, and the
evaluation of performance. Pro forma statements are created by forecasting balances on a
specific date and adding them to a financial statement. Forecasting is done by deciding how
specific things can affect and influence areas of the business, from there a projection can be
made to determine ending numbers.
The balance sheet below shows not only the current balance sheet for 2014, but also the
Pro forma sheet for the following five years as well. Once again it has been assumed that the
current assets and liabilities will continue to increase in the same ratio that sales have. In
addition, there are fixed assets that the business has, therefore the company has taken a loan out
to meet the expectations of capital expansion and capital needs.
