By adding Revenue, Cost of Revenue, G&A Expenses we get the Earning Before Interest and Tax, then using given data of interest expenses and other income (here we assume
there will an equilibrium of interest and other income in the forecast hence we don’t get sufficient data from exhibit). Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd ADR's operated at median
effective tax rate of 17.1% from fiscal years ending 2014 (Finbox.com). Adding EBT and Tax thus we get Net Income.
