Do extraordinary items appear on the balance sheet?

Extraordinary items do not appear on the balance sheet; instead, they are reported on the income statement. These items are events or transactions that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, and they are typically presented separately to provide clarity on a company's financial performance. While they can impact net income, they do not affect the balance sheet directly. Instead, their implications may be reflected indirectly through retained earnings in the equity section after net income is closed to it.
