Unrealised gain on foreign exchange refers to the increase in value of foreign currency assets or liabilities that has not yet been realized through an actual transaction. It occurs when the exchange rate moves favorably, leading to a potential profit if the currency were sold or converted back to the home currency. These gains are recorded in financial statements but do not impact cash flow until the assets are converted. Thus, while they reflect potential profit, they are considered "paper" gains until realized.

This difference arises due to fluctuations in exchange rates over time, affecting the reported value of these assets or liabilities in financial statements.
