  1. 220-10Overall220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-10 governs how an entity presents comprehensive income — net income plus other comprehensive income (OCI) — in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income must be reported either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements (net income first, then OCI beginning with net income), with totals for net income, OCI, and comprehensive income (220-10-45-1 through 45-1B). The Subtopic addresses only presentation and disclosure; it does not specify when to recognize or how to measure the items making up comprehensive income (220-10-25-1; 220-10-30-1).

  2. 220-20Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-20 governs how an entity presents and discloses material events or transactions that are unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, or both. Such items must be reported as a separate component of income from continuing operations, with their nature and financial effects either shown on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes (220-20-45-1; 220-20-50-1). They may not be presented net of tax on the face of the income statement, and their per-share effects may not be shown there.

  3. 220-30Business Interruption Insurance220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-30 governs how an entity presents and discloses recoveries under business interruption insurance — insurance covering lost gross margin, a portion of fixed charges and expenses related to that lost margin, and extra expenses incurred to mitigate the interruption loss. The core rule is permissive on presentation: an entity may choose any classification of the recoveries in the statement of operations so long as it is not contrary to existing GAAP (220-30-45-1). In exchange for that flexibility, the Subtopic mandates note disclosure of the event and the amount and location of recoveries recognized.

  4. 220-40Expense Disaggregation Disclosures220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-40 (added by ASU 2024-03) requires public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular note disclosure, each "relevant expense caption" presented on the face of the income statement in continuing operations into prescribed natural expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and DD&A of oil-and-gas/other depletion (220-40-50-6). Other GAAP-required expense, gain, and loss items must be pulled into the same table (220-40-50-21 through 50-22), expense reimbursements must be addressed (50-26 through 50-29), and any residual must be shown as "other items" with a qualitative description of its composition (50-30). Entities must also disclose total selling expenses and, annually, how they define selling expenses (50-35 through 50-36).

  5. 220-912Contractors—Federal Government220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    This industry-specific subtopic addresses how a federal government contractor presents amounts in the income statement relating to terminated contracts. After ASC 2014-09 superseded most of its guidance, the only surviving rule is that items the contractor keeps without making a claim for cost or loss stay on the balance sheet as inventory or deferred charges (220-912-45-3).

  6. 220-932Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-932 is a short "pointer" subtopic that addresses income statement presentation for oil- and gas-producing activities. It contains no substantive incremental rules of its own: it adopts the scope of ASC 932-10-15 and directs readers to the industry disclosure requirements in 932-235-50-21 through 50-28 and to the illustrative results-of-operations example in 932-235-55-5.

  7. 220-942Financial Services—Depository and Lending220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income
  8. 220-944Financial Services—Insurance220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income
  9. 220-946Financial Services—Investment Companies220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    This subtopic governs the form and content of the statement of operations (income statement) for investment companies. The statement must show investment income less expenses to arrive at net investment income, then net realized gains/losses and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency, summing to the net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Special presentation rules apply to multiple-class funds, master-feeder structures, and funds of funds.

  10. 220-954Health Care Entities220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    This Subtopic governs how not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entities present their statement of operations and statement of changes in net assets. Its central requirement is a clearly labeled "performance indicator" (e.g., revenues over expenses) reported in a statement that also shows total changes in net assets without donor restrictions, with a specified list of items — such as equity transfers, donor-restricted contributions, other comprehensive income items, and unrealized gains/losses on non-trading debt securities — required to be reported outside that indicator.

  11. 220-958Not-for-Profit Entities220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-958 governs the not-for-profit statement of activities — the NFP substitute for a business entity's income statement. It requires the statement to focus on the entity as a whole and report the change in total net assets, the change in net assets with donor restrictions, and the change in net assets without donor restrictions, with revenues, expenses, gains, losses, and reclassifications classified among those net asset classes. It addresses how to report these elements (including gross versus net display, investment return net of investment expenses, and optional intermediate measures of operations), but not when to recognize or how to measure them.

  12. 225-10Overall225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-10 was the "Overall" subtopic of the Income Statement topic, but every one of its paragraphs (Sections 05 Background, 15 Scope, and 45 Other Presentation Matters) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19. As a result, the subtopic contains no substantive guidance; income statement presentation guidance now resides in ASC 220 (Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income) and other presentation topics.

  13. 225-20Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-20 formerly governed the reporting of extraordinary items (events both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence) and unusual or infrequently occurring items in the income statement. Every paragraph has been superseded: ASU 2015-01 eliminated the extraordinary item concept and its separate net-of-tax presentation below income from continuing operations, and Maintenance Update 2017-19 removed the remaining shell paragraphs after the transition period ended. Presentation and disclosure of material unusual or infrequently occurring items now resides in ASC 220-20 (Income Statement—Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items).

  14. 225-30Business Interruption Insurance225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-30 formerly addressed how to present and disclose business interruption insurance recoveries in the income statement. All of its content (Sections 05, 15, 45, and 50) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19, so the subtopic is now an empty shell with no operative guidance. Entities receiving business interruption insurance proceeds must look to other guidance, such as the successor guidance in ASC 220-30 and general gain contingency rules.

  15. 225-912Contractors—Federal Government225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-912 formerly provided income statement presentation guidance for contractors with the federal government (a subtopic of the legacy Income Statement topic). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Overview and Background (05), Scope (15), and Other Presentation Matters (45) — was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19, so the subtopic contains no operative guidance. Presentation questions for federal government contractors are now addressed under the revenue and other applicable topics rather than here.

  16. 225-915Development Stage Entities225 Income Statement

    This subtopic formerly prescribed how a development stage entity presented its income statement — most notably cumulative amounts of revenues and expenses from inception. Every paragraph (225-915-05-1, 15-1, and 45-1) was superseded by ASU 2014-10, which eliminated the concept of a development stage entity from U.S. GAAP. As a result, there are no remaining presentation requirements in ASC 225-915.

  17. 225-932Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-932 was the income statement subtopic addressing oil and gas extractive activities, but every paragraph in it (Sections 05, 15, 50, and 55) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19. As a result the subtopic contains no operative guidance; readers must look to ASC 932 (Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas) and ASC 220 for income statement presentation and disclosure requirements.

  18. 225-942Financial Services—Depository and Lending225 Income Statement
  19. 225-944Financial Services—Insurance225 Income Statement
  20. 225-946Financial Services—Investment Companies225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-946 was the industry-specific income statement guidance for investment companies, but every paragraph in it (Sections 05, 15, 45, and 50) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19. The subtopic is now an empty shell with no operative guidance; the substantive requirements for an investment company's statement of operations were relocated to (and remain in) ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. Readers encountering a citation to 225-946 should redirect to ASC 946-225.

  21. 225-954Health Care Entities225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-954 formerly provided income statement presentation guidance for health care entities (e.g., the performance indicator and reporting of patient service revenue). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 45, 50, and 55 — was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19, so the subtopic contains no operative guidance. Health care income statement presentation guidance now resides in Topic 954 (principally 954-205 and 954-225 as relocated) and, for revenue, in Topic 606.

  22. 225-958Not-for-Profit Entities225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-958 was the income statement subtopic for not-for-profit entities, but every paragraph in it (Sections 05, 15, 45, 50, and 55) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19. The subtopic contains no remaining substantive guidance; its former content on presenting a not-for-profit entity's statement of activities was relocated as part of the Codification's reorganization of not-for-profit presentation guidance.
