Assets, liabilities and equity as at a date — a position, not a period — drawn as the same tree, with its subtotals and its "Less:" contra lines (7.5). Equity includes retained earnings as 7.6 describes: the designated account's balance plus the profit of any years not yet closed, so the sheet is complete whether or not the year-end close has been run. The sheet balances — assets equal liabilities plus equity — by the same arithmetic as the Trial Balance. If it ever did not, that would be a defect to report, not a figure to explain away.
The tree opens folded shut to the group subtotals, like the Profit & Loss. Accounts that hold no balance and have never moved up to the date are left out, the page says how many, and Show accounts with no balance or activity brings them back; an account that moved and settled back to zero stays listed. All amounts are in your home currency — the page says so, and so do its exports, which also name the hidden count.
