Unrealized exchange losses occur when the value of foreign currency-denominated assets or liabilities declines due to changes in exchange rates, but the transactions have not yet been settled. These losses are typically recorded in the financial statements as part of the other comprehensive income (OCI) or as a separate line item in the income statement, depending on the accounting standards used (e.g., IFRS or GAAP). The unrealized loss will affect the equity section of the balance sheet, but it does not impact cash flow until the transaction is realized. It's essential to reassess the valuation regularly to reflect current market conditions accurately.
