Unrealized refers to potential gains or losses which have occurred on paper, but the related transaction has not yet been completed or the asset or investment has not yet been sold. It essentially represents a potential financial change or growth that has not been confirmed or actualized. It is usually associated with investments such as stocks, bonds, or real estate.

The revenue recognition principle is a cornerstone of accrual accounting together with the matching principle. They both determine the accounting period in which revenues and expenses are recognized. According to the principle, revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable, and are earned (usually when goods are transferred or services rendered), no matter when cash is received. In cash accounting—in contrast—revenues are recognized when cash is received no matter when goods or services are sold.
