| A pro forma balance sheet looks like any other balance sheet. It's sort of a budgeted "what if" of the future, rather than a factual reporting of the past. i.e. a projected balance sheet. It would be based on prior actual figures and projections of the future. (For a new company, it's all projection.)
If you already have numbers, it just looks like a balance sheet, like any other.
Now actually doing one is an entirely different matter, because projecting the future can be a complicated matter. You'd have to already have a projected income statement, and cash flows, and some other info.
How it relates to equity financing is that these can be used to analyze what is going on in the company. You can analyze them the same way you can analyze an actual past financial statement. So for instance, you can analyze the balance and consequences of the debt and equity financing. If a company were considering new financing, that would be a perfect time to do one. |
