The justification given by FASB regarding treatment of unrealized holding gains/losses available for sale securities is that the debt | |||||||
securities which are held for selling in the near future are classified as held for sale securities and thus reported at fair value. | |||||||
The unrealized gains will not be realized until and unless the sale of securities is done and subsequently the cash is realized. |
