Dale, the Scotts article said >Revenues are 55% to 60% ahead of year-ago sales, largely as a result of recent acquisitions, said Berger. On a pro forma basis, Berger said sales are expected to be up 8% to 11% to about $575 million to $585 million.<

So it's the acquisitions, mainly.
What does Berger mean by 'pro forma'?

Webster says...
Main Entry: pro for·ma
Pronunciation: (")prO-'for-m&
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin, for form
Date: circa 1580
1 : made or carried out in a perfunctory manner or as a formality
2 : provided in advance to prescribe form or describe items <pro forma invoice>
