There is no "period" for a Balance Sheet. A Balance Sheet is, by
definition, a look into your accounts at a single point in time. The
only thing on a Balance Sheet that *may* be related to a period would be
the computation of the "retained earnings" for the "period" ending at
the balance sheet computation date. But you can compute that value from
your Income Statement report when the Balance Sheet reports all your
"current" and "previous" income/expense rolled up together.
