Hi...

I am reporting my financials in USD...
I've taken up a loan in EURO, let's say 100K in March when the rate was 1.51.
The loan was due in April.
But I've decided to rollover the loan til year end.
In April, let's assume that the rate was 1.52.

When the loan was rolled...
How do I account for the foreign exchange loss?

Do I treat it as a realised loss, or unrealised loss?

Company has a year end in June...
Loan not paid up at Financial Year End.

Thank you for ur help!
