This definition here explains what a Financial Prospectus is.

A prospectus is a legal document that institutions and businesses use to describe the securities they are offering for participants and buyers. A prospectus commonly provides investors with material information about mutual funds, stocks, bonds and other investments, such as a description of the company's business, financial statements, biographies of officers and directors, detailed information about their compensation, any litigation that is taking place, a list of material properties and any other material information. In the context of an individual securities offering such as an initial public offering, a prospectus is distributed by underwriters or brokerages to potential investors. In a securities offering in the United States, a prospectus is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a registration statement. The issuer may not use the prospectus to finalize sales until the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, meaning it appears to comply on its face with the various rules governing disclosure.

If a company has been filing periodic reports like the Form 10-K with the SEC for a certain period of time, has a market capitalization above a certain threshold and takes certain procedural steps, it is permitted to offer securities using a simplified prospectus that incorporates information by reference to its SEC filings. In certain situations, such as when the offering is not required to be registered with the SEC, a prospectus is instead referred to as an "offering memorandum" or "offering circular." Prospectuses are generally prepared with the assistance of the underwriter acting as issue manager (also called a bookrunning manager).
