How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

For anyone who wants to understand Bestechnic (Shanghai)'s profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from CN¥29m worth of unusual items. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. When we crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).
