    Congratulations schura, you've managed to deduce yearly growth in profits from almost insignificant in accounting terms to paltry. Now which do you think might be more significant for a share price based on future earnings.

    You are kind of missing the point. Growing profits in percentage terms when you've finally made them for the first time does not really extrapolate out to 10 years of profit growth. Particularly in a now saturated market that faces regulation in coming years. Growing underlying profit from $45 mill (still net loss by the way) to $115 mill on massive first to market growth, is a lot easier from growing $4,125 million to $6,600 million in a saturated and by then heavily regulated market (more likely effectively non-existent by then, by the same dynamic fin-tech innovation that spawned APT).
