Individual statements can be accessed using standard R list extraction tools, or by using viewFinancials.

viewFinancials allows for the use of date subsetting as available in the xts package, as well as the specification of the type of statement to view. BS for balance sheet, IS for income statement, and CF for cash flow statement. The period argument is used to identify which statements to view - (A) for annual and (Q) for quarterly.

IS	a list containing (Q)uarterly and (A)nnual Income Statements
BS	a list containing (Q)uarterly and (A)nnual Balance Sheets
CF	a list containing (Q)uarterly and (A)nnual Cash Flow Statements

Note

As with all free data, you may be getting exactly what you pay for.
