<<JBN3, thanks for the input. I would think that building projects should be capitalized & depreciated over time. The increase in headcount attributable to this growth should be largely included in cost of sales. >> You don't depreciate building's or land. The increase in expenditures is offset by an increase in the long term asset's section of the balance sheet, patricularly, the account known as building and equipment (I think that's the name of the account, or something to that effect.) Also, these assets are recorded in terms of their historic cost, regardless of how much they appreciated/declined presently. A good example of this is GM, I'm sure some of the land they purchase has appreciated since the 20's and 30's, however, they are still recorded in their historical cost and no gain can be relized unless they sell. Anyone else is welcome to add further info. Zead
