Hello everyone!
We’re back with another blog today and we’d like to showcase a small but crucial new addition to [i]Railroad Corporation 2[/i]: Company Reports!
Company reports offer a comprehensive overview of your corporation's performance. Let's delve into each tab of the reports section to understand their significance.
[h3][u]Overview[/u][/h3]

Starting with the Overview Tab, this tab serves as the control hub for your corporation. It presents key information at a glance, including your current cash reserves and outstanding debt. You'll also find a summary of your property holdings, such as buildings and locomotives, essential assets for expanding your operations. Additionally, the overview tab offers insights into the extent of your railway network, showcasing the mileage of tracks you've laid out. Furthermore, you'll have access to details about the manager you've hired, including their specialty and costs.
[h3][u]Balance Sheet[/u][/h3]

In the Balance Sheet tab, you'll dive deeper into the financial health of your corporation. It provides a breakdown of your assets and liabilities, allowing you to assess your company's overall worth. By comparing year-to-date figures with historical data, you can track the trajectory of your financial standing and identify trends that may impact your strategic decisions.
[h3][u]Profit and Loss[/u][/h3]

The Profit and Loss tab is where you monitor the financial performance of your corporation in detail. It records your revenue from various sources, including raw material purchases and sales, and transportation income. Simultaneously, it tracks your expenditures, such as operating costs, maintenance expenses, and employee wages. By analyzing these figures over different time frames, you gain a comprehensive understanding of your company's profitability and operational efficiency.
[h3][u]Transaction Log[/u][/h3]

The Transaction Log tab acts as a ledger, providing a comprehensive record of all your financial transactions. Every purchase and sale within your corporation, from acquiring new locomotives to selling surplus resources, is documented here. The log uses a color-coded system to differentiate between income-generating activities (highlighted in green) and expenses (highlighted in red), enabling you to quickly assess the financial impact of each transaction.
[h3][u]Graphs[/u][/h3]

Meanwhile, the Asset Balance graph tracks the total value of your company's assets, providing insights into your wealth accumulation and asset allocation strategies. These graphs offer intuitive visualizations that complement the detailed numerical data presented in other sections of the Company Reports.
That concludes today's update! We hope you find these company reports valuable as you step into the world of Railroad Corporation 2. Let us know what you think about this update on Steam’s Discussion Board, or Discord, and stay tuned for more updates!
