How do unrealized gains and losses from AFS factor into OCI?
Any changes that result from the revaluation of available-for-sale securities goes to OCI until they are realized when the security is sold.

How does a revaluation surplus factor into OCI?
When fixed assets or intangibles are revalued, gains go to OCI (losses are on the income statement). The gains never go to income, but they go to retained earnings when the related asset is used or derecognized.
What are reclassification adjustments and why are they used?
They move OCI items from AOCI to the income statement to avoid double counting.
