The reporting treatment for investments in common stock depends upon the level of ownership and the ability to influence polices of the investee. This reporting treatment may even change over time as ownership levels or other factors change. When investees are not consolidated, the investments are generally reported in the investment section of the balance sheet. However, the investor’s income from those investments is not always easy to find in the investor’s income statement.
