No; Carol nailed the answer: 
income & expense summarize includes changes to all assets (e.g. mortgage 
principle) and you want to exclude non-cash assets from the cash-flow 
report.  So buying 1000 widgets is a net cash-flow out, even though 
your net worth didn't change before & after.

cash-flow = income - expense - non-cash assets + non-cash debts

or something like that.
