Kausa,  You need to dig a little deeper.

aff trading profit to sept 98 was -$150,000.  the balance was write downs
and unusual items of -$72m.

Trading profit for 99 year was -$1.617m.  Unusual items added $6.417m to
arrive at final figure of $4.8m.

IMO it's the trading result that matters, as unusual items may be an
indication of a business's health,  (when the chickens come home to roost
etc)  but not how well it's performing  it's principal function.
