Peter,

I had the impression that options were counted in the fully diluted shares as long as they are in the money regardless of whether or not the company is profitable on any basis.

An optionholder may well convert options to shares any time it is profitable for him to do so regardless of the company's profitability. It was that threat of dilution that I understood the FASB rule was attempting to expose.

I'm not an accountant. I could be wrong.

Ian.
