Differences between TS and HTM

1. Trading securities are written up or down to their fair value, or "marked to market", in the B/S 2. Corresponding unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income in the I/S DURING the period that fair value changes

Consolidated financial statements report

1. the acquired company's assets at their fair value on the date of acquisition rather than their book values on the investee's balance sheet 2. goodwill for the EXCESS of the acquisition price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.

HTM financial statement presentation

B/S: Investments are reported at amortized cost, less any allowance for credit losses (impairments). Fair values disclosed in the notes. I/S: Realized gains and losses shown in NI in period sold. Unrealized holding gains and losses disclosed in notes. CFS: Cash flows from buying and selling HTM typically are classified as investing activities. Interest received is an operating activity.

AFS financial statement presentation

B/S: Investments in AFS are reported at fair value, either current or LT investments. Unrealized holding gains and losses become part of AOCI in SE, and are reclassified out of AOCI when sold. I/S: AFS gains and losses are shown in OCI in which fair value changes, those amounts are reclassified out of OCI and recognized in net income when sold. CFS: Cash flows from buying and selling AFS are classified as investing activities. Interest received is classified as operating activities.

TS financial statement presentation

B/S: Investments in TS are reported at fair value, typically current assets. I/S: TS gains and losses are included in NI in which fair value changes, regardless of whether they are realized or unrealized. CFS: Cash flows from buying and selling TS are classified as operating activities because the financial institutions that routinely hold TS consider them as part of their normal operations.
