Every figure here is drawn from the 10-K cover page and the statements behind it, so each one traces to a filing. Public float counts only stock held by non-affiliates, which makes these floors rather than estimates: a high multiple is conclusive, a low one may mean cheap or may mean closely held. The float was measured on 2017-03-25, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2017-09-30 — the year that filing covered.
