Thx donmihaihai and maniac.
After reading those explanation, does it mean that,
1) fx gain/loss on net profit (for all completed transaction) for current FY will be recognised immediately and would not affect subsequent yr Equity value.
2) Investment items such as asset/bond/stock, their FX will be reflected in Equity statement to balance the A=L+E. since they are not transacted and recognised, so their value will affect the Equity side of value each and every subsequent year until it was a done deal.
3) so if my rational of buying a company with oversea operation base on its book value, I should hav to discount on its assets side of value BUT not the retained earning since the earning already considered the FX every financial year.
Thx again.
