I believe you are making a very fair comparison with www.streetlinks.com 93% owned by NOVS.
Trailing PE is 22 x earnings and forward PE is 10. LPS difference with NOVS is it is effectively priced at what one investor may deem Fair Market Value. Management goal today is to gain Mr. Markets attention and obtain a price multiple off their future BV, ROE, EPS, (because of the DTA of 326M NOL piece NOVS book value will grow effectively by the amount of DTA used to shield Taxable Income from taxes). This Mr. Market must price into the stock and because NOVS also owns; Mango Moving (solves a $12B Asset Less 3 PL market) + www.adventtax.com which provides an alternative solution for billion dollar problems faced by NON-Banked in America (per Goldman Sachs single book runner for NTSP IPO 2010 their are 70M such Americans); RAL and PayDay Lenders = all of this deserves some premium in the PE but only Mr. Market can make that call. NOVS needs to provide them the transparency and openness to do it, IMHO.
