Yes it is possible for a company to have a bottom line net profit while having a gross loss. This happens if the company is actually realizing gains from activities that are not coming from the company's core line of business. These items are recorded separate from the company's normal operating income, particularly under Financial revenues (such as revenues from investments) or Extraordinary items (such as gains from selling major assets or major cutoff of expenses).

The Answer is YES .!!

As Long as the income statement gives us first the number of GROSS PROFIT / LOSS, then to deduct the admin+sales Expense. However, it adds the other revenues, and other expense, that could not directly related to the operations. 

In this case it means that the revenues under (other revenues) that not directly related to operation or it could relate to extra-ordinary items like disposal/selling  of line of production income .is MORE THAN the regular income from operation.
