  Have you run the Income Statement report for the corresponding 
interval? (start date day after previous Balance Sheet; end date the 
date of the current Balance Sheet.

Does that not show what you want?

PS --- a Cash Flow report is something very different. For example, an 
unrealized gain would NOT show on it. People may have to run both the 
Income Statement and Balance Sheet ( the FIRST time also Balance Sheet 
at start, after that you will have the "previous" from last time. But 
you can sort of be doing very well in those terms but still run out of 
CASH. It's the Cash Flow report that deals with that. By the same token, 
you could be doing OK in terms of cash flow (temporarily) but heading 
for a crash (building up debt, for example).
