Introduction:

Available for Sale securities are those securities which can neither be classified as Trading securities nor as Held to Maturity Security.

Trading securities are securities which are intended to be sold in the short term.

Held to Maturity Securities are the investments which are intended to be held until maturity date.

Available for sale securities may be classified as long-term assets if they are intended to be held for a period of more than a year. Available for Sale securities are recorded at their fair values and any unrealized gains or losses are reported in other comprehensive income until they have been realized. (i.e. by selling the securities)

A company or a person is considered to have significant control when it holds or owns 20 % or more of another company's stock. However, exceptions can occur. Significant Control signifies the power that one company can exert over another company. Such power includes representational powers on the Board of Directors, taking part in development of company policy and the interchanging of managerial personnel.
