That's the point. That's WHY you might need to run a "cash flow" report.
Understand? You might have been all right for the time period in an
overall sense, but somewhere in the middle your checks began to bounce
for insufficient funds. Or a credit card limit exceeded, etc.
It is possible to be fine in the long run in terms of profitability but
have a cash flow crisis. It is possible to be OK in terms of available
cash in the short term but face a dire situation in terms of growing
losses.
