rd, if a company sells shares on the open market and pays an employee half the proceeds, is that an employee expense?

if the company issues an option to an employee and he exercises it at twice his options price, is it an employee expense?

in both examples, the exact same thing occurs. dilution is equal. employee compensation is equal. tax deductions are equal.

the business impact is IDENTICAL. the income statement, an alledgeD reflection of business processes over a period of time, is FAR DIFFERENT.
