They already do that in the footnotes. Of course this doesn't matter one whit because no one reads the financials much less the footnotes. This concept was carried to extraordinary absurdness by Joy Covey of amzn, remember POS3? -g-, when she introduced "ProForma" accounting in reporting results to the world. Everyone openly laughed at her at first, but it damn near got to be a standard reporting practice. Yikes!

The option issue will have to sit on the back burner until the market comes to its senses and crushes companies that pull that crap. That is the only effective tool of change in this matter.
