The Bottom Line: "In addition to recognising that readers of its income statement will view the document primarily as an indicator of the future, a company knows that creating more favourable expectations about the future can raise its stock price and lower its borrowing cost. It is therefore in the company's interest to persuade readers that a major development that hurt earnings last year will not adversely affect earnings in future years. One way of achieving this is to suggest that any large loss suffered by the company was somehow outside the normal course of business, anomalous, and, by implication, unlikely to recur."
