      Solution

      Off-balance sheet items are the ones that do not appear on the balance sheet i.e. they are those assets that are not owned by the company or those liabilities that are not a direct obligation. A deposit is a balance sheet item, since it is an actual obligation to pay back to the depositor. Guarantees and call options are off-balance sheet as the obligation under them arise only under certain conditions, if at all. Other off-balance sheet items for a bank may include securitised assets, operating leases.
