Intuit's holdings in the other two companies are roughly:

1 Excite per 16 Intuit = about $3 per Intuit share
1 CheckFree per 5 Intuit = about $5 per Intuit share

So, another way to look at the Intuit valuation is to subtract $8 off the share price, and calculate the P/E based on that, and the same earnings figure. Neither Excite's nor CheckFree's earnings (losses) impact Intuit's P&L, because both are sub-20% holdings, so only the (non-existent) dividend payments show up. (This was of course, the whole idea behind Intuit's reducing its CheckFree holdings to that level)
