In my understanding extraordinary items are unusual or infrequent items.Expenses arising out of unusual natural disaster,prohibition under new regulation,expropriation..
Exceptional items are infrequent but not unusual.
Exceptional items relate to material non-recurring items of income and expense arising from circumstances such as:
- write-downs of inventories to net realizable value or of
property, plant and equipment to recoverable amount, as well
as reversals of such write-downs;
- restructurings of the activities of an entity;
- releases of provisions;
- disposals of property, plant and equipment;
- disposals of associates or other financial assets;
