---
# Report
Generate financial statements for "$ARGUMENTS" from reconciled data. Produce a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement with trend analysis.
## Prerequisites
Read `.metapowers/bookkeeping/$ARGUMENTS/03-reconcile.md` for reconciled balances and adjusting entries.
## Process
1. **Prepare trial balance:**
- List all accounts with their reconciled balances
- Verify total debits equal total credits
- Apply any period-end adjustments (accruals, deferrals, depreciation)
2. **Generate Profit & Loss (Income Statement):**
- Revenue accounts (4000-series)
- Less: Cost of Goods Sold (5000-series)
- Equals: Gross Profit
- Less: Operating Expenses (6000-series)
- Equals: Operating Income
- Plus/Minus: Other Income/Expenses (7000-series)
- Equals: Net Income
3. **Generate Balance Sheet:**
- Assets (1000-series) — current and fixed
- Liabilities (2000-series) — current and long-term
- Equity (3000-series) — including net income from P&L
- Verify: Assets = Liabilities + Equity
4. **Generate Cash Flow Statement:**
- **Operating Activities** — cash from core business
- **Investing Activities** — asset purchases and sales
- **Financing Activities** — loans, equity, dividends
- Net change in cash for the period
5. **Analyze and highlight:**
- Key ratios (gross margin, net margin, current ratio, quick ratio)
- Period-over-period trends if prior data exists
- Anomalies or areas of concern
- Cash runway estimate
6. **Write the artifact** to `.metapowers/bookkeeping/$ARGUMENTS/04-report.md` with sections:
- **Trial Balance** — all accounts with balances
- **Profit & Loss** — full income statement
- **Balance Sheet** — full statement of financial position
- **Cash Flow Statement** — cash movements by category
- **Key Ratios** — financial health indicators
- **Commentary** — narrative on trends and concerns
## Output
The financial report written to `.metapowers/bookkeeping/$ARGUMENTS/04-report.md`. Present a summary highlighting:
- Net income/loss for the period
- Total assets and liabilities
- Cash position and runway
- Key ratios and any concerns
