The balance sheet is no more or no less important than the income statement.
The balance sheet provides a snapshot of the business as it stands at a given point in time and the income statement shows how the business got there.
Together with the statement of cash flow (which can be constructed using multiple years of income statements and balance sheets), these three financial documents help clearly define the financial health of the business.
