But "Loan from Shareholder" is NOT cash. At least not by any
definition that I have ever seen. By "selecting" that account in
GNUcash's Cash Flow Statement options, you are defining that account
as being cash. You apparently do not clearly understand what a cash
flow statement is. It is a statement of the *changes* in cash and
near-cash accounts (i.e.liquid asset accounts). You may find this page
informative:
