Chapter 12Balance Sheet Projections

Now that our cash flow is complete, we can proceed to the balance sheet, which begins in row 152. Before actually projecting the 2013 balance sheet, we need to pull in the pro-forma balance sheet numbers we calculated in our balance sheet adjustments analysis. We can simply link those numbers into 2012PF Column F.

We can begin by linking the cash balance in from the cash line in the “Balance sheet adjustments” section. So, F158 will read “=H111.” The next line, “Receivables,” will link in from cell H112 in the “Balance sheet adjustments” section. We could simply copy the formula from cell F158 down to cell F159. We can continue copying down; however, the “Totals” should calculate the total top-down, as one would in any period. This process will continue until we have a representation of the pro-forma balance sheet here to build our projections.
