Q: Where do you post unrealized gains and losses on the balance sheet? A: Under the "Other Assets" section of the balance sheet. You can call the line item something like "Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Stock Portfolio. By recording the unrealized gain or loss, you are essentially bringing the stock portfolio (or other investment) from cost basis, to market value; which is also known as "Mark to Market." Be careful in distinguishing whether your stock portfolio is "available for sale" or "trading securities", the treatment on the income statement is different. Go to Wikipedia for the definition of each of the above terms.

After you've worked out profit for the year create a new line called "Other Comprehensive Income". Under this put your "Gain/Loss on revaluation" or "Gain/Loss on available for sale investments".

Basically, unrealized gross profit is not an asset, liability, expense, revenue and owner equity. Because asset always record in DR side as a nature. Liability record on CR side but we don't have to pay any thing in unrealized gross profit. expense nature is DR revenue nature is CR but unrealized gross profit is expected to be an income after realizing. owner equity means to invest in business and unrealized gross profit is not an investment. So, we have to assume the unrealized gross profit as liability because it is mutually unearned. Unearned, it is an advance amount which is liability until we earned it. Similarly, unrealized is expected to be earned in future after collecting the installments of sales, as unearned is a part of liability so, unrealized gross profit is also a part of liability through unearned account.
