HELP with LBO model (adjusting BS pro forma)

I'm building an lbo model as an exercise on a restaurant company and my pro forma Balance Sheet does not balance. It's got to have something to do with my M&A And Finance adjustments, but I've checked, and re-checked everything and to me it looks okay... but obviously I'm missing something. I know this is a lot of work for someone to look over, but I would be entirely indebted if someone could find out what I'm missing. It's still in it's early stages and I'm starting it from scratch so sorry if it looks a little shabby. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Michael was a huge help getting me ready for my Lazard HireVue. I came in with a lot of good material but my answers were running long and I kept rambling through my stories. He walked me through each one and helped me cut them down so they were concise and hit the main points without losing what makes them mine. He was honest about what was not working and gave me clear ways to fix it instead of just general advice. I left the call feeling way more confident and organized going into the interview. I would definitely work with him again.”
