        <![CDATA[John,<br/>Thank you for the comments. You are right about the Year 0 EPS. However, as you might noticed, I assumed '0 growth' after 5 years. So that is a reasonable addition.<br/><br/>The book value is the theoretical liquidation value. Most companies has excess cash over liabilities, which you are entitled as a shareholder. The upper level is the maximum, so that does not mean the exact fair value. ]]>
