If management intent changes and does not plan to hold the investment for temporary purposes, the investment is to be reclassified as a long term investment. The amount at which investment is transferred depends upon the accounting basis for short term investment. If the lower of cost or market was the accounting basis, LCM would be the new cost. The difference between the cost and market value will be treated same as for sales of short term MES, i.e. either realized profit or loss will arise.
