from my notes on the call, an analyst asked an option expense question- Arianne Maler Dresner Option expensing- why doesn't cisco do it when NT and others are volunteering now. JC- he has very strong issues with this. It is stock option governance that is the issue. What are the goals of option reform- accuracy, shareholder approval, repricing, options to all? Does the reform address these issues? Cisco has done a good job with each of these. top 25 at cisco get less than 6% pf total options. Intc, msft are similar. Expensing alternatives are not accurate. Black Sholes technique gives 3.3 billion expense from last year. Today-141mm for the same option plan, totally inaccurate. Having said this, Cisco will put expenses in reports, cisco has no problem with this. Larry- we will be disclosing FY02 Black Sholes. Every qtr cisco will disclose Black Sholes calculations going forward.
