Forex Gains (losses)

Postby private equity » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:44 am

Hi WST,
I understand that if, say, a US company with functional currency of USD and issues debt denominated in a foreign currency then each quarter the company will need to adjust the debt with foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on the balance sheet and income statement. Now, I am curious if the same company issues equity denominated in a foreign currency, then does the company still need to make the same foreign currency exchange adjustment to the issued equity with currency exchange gains (losses)?

Many thanks.

Our guess, without researching accounting standards is no, since book value isn't marked to market.
