Non recurring items and other income

HDFC Bank: Out of a total income of $1040 Million, other income was nearly 20%, up from 14% in Q1 of 2008. What does this other income constitute of ; unconsolidated subsidiary earnings?
BHEL also had a higher income due to non-recurring item. These are important as analysts are primarily using recurring income from continuing operations to gauge the valuation of company. Will this impact DCF valuations, yes ! as one needs to make sure that the future cash flows are not incremented based on a current bloated cash flow due to one time infrequent /unusual/extra-ordinary item.
