What is the difference between minority interest one the balanceheet and minority interest on the earnings statement?

The balance sheet shows accumulations from the companys inception up to present day. The balance sheet is a snap shot of what the company owns and what it owes at a given point in time. The minority interest on the balance sheet is an accumulated total.The income statement records revenues and expenses over a period of one year. Just because you see a minority interest account on the balance sheet in no way implies that the same numbers should show up on the income statement.
