"Pro Forma" usually backs out expenses and revenues related to acquisitions or "unusual" business conditions (and is obviously subject to a lot of abuse and slight of hand, IMO). Although it can be legit, it should definitely tickle the old bull$hit detector, IMO, and initiate a detailed search of what *may* have been hidden from view in charges or in robbing the balance sheet.
