All San Francisco/Silicon Valley Smaller Companies 2012-14 Three Year Audited Earnings Up 10 Times Over Three Year 2008-10 Audited Earnings ..... Driven In Part By President Obama, Governor Jerry Brown, California US Senators Feinstein and Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and the Other California US House Members, and the US Fed

From a very thorough review of SEC filings, I found 171 Companies headquartered in the highly driven, creative, intensely research-focused San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area of California with Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $1 bil and with 2014 Audited Financial Statements filed with the SEC.

22 of these 171 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies have Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than $30 bil.  The Total Audited Earnings of these 22 Giants were $167 bil in 2014, which comprised a massive 90% of the $185 Total 2014 Earnings generated by the 171 largest San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Companies with Market Caps of more than $1 bil presently.

These 22 Giant Companies generated 2014 Audited Earnings which were up 11% over 2013 and up 27% over 2012, as you can see in the below chart:
