For anyone who wants to understand Amcomri Entertainment's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit was reduced by CA$1.1m due to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual.
