EXHIBIT 11 | Equity Analysts' Outlook for FedEx and UPS FedEx Corporation Analyst Comments Morgan Stanley's It was refreshing to hear FedEx's management highlight some of the risks in China as J.J. Valentine, we sense these issues are too often overlooked by the bulls. Some of these issues April 6, 2004 include: lack of legal framework different interpretations of laws by regional and local governments . nonperforming loans that put pressure on China's banking sector liability by government for retirement program of state-owned enterprises widening gap between the urban and the rural standard of living government that often dictates commercial relationships One issue that's not as much a risk as it is a challenge is finding skilled, educated labor. This was a recurring theme that we heard during our visit to Asia, namely that China has a large unskilled workforce to produce cheap products, but it is becoming Increasingly difficult to find skilled labor for the service industry, such as parcel delivery or logistics Value Line The international business should drive long-term growth. Unlike the domestic Investment express business, which has reached maturity, the international market remains in the Survey's growth stage. Indeed, growth rates in this sector mirror the rate of domestic expansion W.R. in the late 1980s. Furthermore, demand for this service should rise going forward, as Perkowitz Jr., a greater amount of manufacturing capacity is outsourced to Asia. Finally, since a Dec. 12, 2003 large portion of FedEx's cost structure is fixed, and it has ample capacity to serve additional business, any increases in volume should flow directly to the bottom line, United Parcel Service Inc. Analyst Comments Value Line United Parcel Service's third-quarter 2003 results were better than we expected.... Investment This gain was driven by record-breaking results in the International and nonpackage Survey's segments. Indeed, both units experienced advances in volume and margins, which led D. Y. Fung. to bottom-line increases of 171% and 61% respectively. Importantly, growth of these Dec. 12, 2003 two businesses has resulted in greater earnings diversity at UPS. This has helped to protect investors from the cyclical downturn in the U.S. economy in the past two years. Going forward, we believe International and nonpackage will continue along their posi- tive growth trajectory, while generating a higher portion of the company's net earnings, Data Analysis Question: Requirements: You are financial analyst working for Warren Buffett.

EXHIBIT 11 | Equity Analysts' Outlook for FedEx and UPS FedEx Corporation Analyst Comments Morgan Stanley's It was refreshing to hear FedEx's management highlight some of the risks in China as J.J. Valentine, we sense these issues are too often overlooked by the bulls. Some of these issues April 6, 2004 include: lack of legal framework different interpretations of laws by regional and local governments . nonperforming loans that put pressure on China's banking sector liability by government for retirement program of state-owned enterprises widening gap between the urban and the rural standard of living government that often dictates commercial relationships One issue that's not as much a risk as it is a challenge is finding skilled, educated labor. This was a recurring theme that we heard during our visit to Asia, namely that China has a large unskilled workforce to produce cheap products, but it is becoming Increasingly difficult to find skilled labor for the service industry, such as parcel delivery or logistics Value Line The international business should drive long-term growth. Unlike the domestic Investment express business, which has reached maturity, the international market remains in the Survey's growth stage. Indeed, growth rates in this sector mirror the rate of domestic expansion W.R. in the late 1980s. Furthermore, demand for this service should rise going forward, as Perkowitz Jr., a greater amount of manufacturing capacity is outsourced to Asia. Finally, since a Dec. 12, 2003 large portion of FedEx's cost structure is fixed, and it has ample capacity to serve additional business, any increases in volume should flow directly to the bottom line, United Parcel Service Inc. Analyst Comments Value Line United Parcel Service's third-quarter 2003 results were better than we expected.... Investment This gain was driven by record-breaking results in the International and nonpackage Survey's segments. Indeed, both units experienced advances in volume and margins, which led D. Y. Fung. to bottom-line increases of 171% and 61% respectively. Importantly, growth of these Dec. 12, 2003 two businesses has resulted in greater earnings diversity at UPS. This has helped to protect investors from the cyclical downturn in the U.S. economy in the past two years. Going forward, we believe International and nonpackage will continue along their posi- tive growth trajectory, while generating a higher portion of the company's net earnings
