I would love to see a more detailed breakdown and exactly the options difference. I will go back and read how S&P calculates option costs. In the case of Siebel I noticed that the Core Earnings number in the Barrons article is exactly equal to the pro forma reported earnings number giving effect to SFAS No. 123 that is reported in the notes to the financial statements on page 50 in the SEBL 10K. Therefore, I would venture to say that it appears very likely that S&P is using the Black Scholes estimates (SFAS 123) for options expense that companies provide in their notes to the 10ks. Best, Huey
