Mike -

[...it is my understanding that the tax benefit does hit the income statement but I could be wrong - not likely though -g-. ...]

interactive.wsj.com

"...Who would not embrace a corporate strategy that rewards employees without costing a corporation any cash, and eventually provides the company a whopping tax deduction besides?

The most common type of stock option permits companies to deduct the value of options when an employee exercises them. At the same time the employee pays ordinary income tax on the same value. Neither one of these tax transactions shows up in a company's financial reporting of earnings, except as a note in the cash-flow report..."

Not conclusive, however.

Regards, Don
