OT ... Mucho Maas, a late comment

... the options are amortized over the holding period (say 10 yrs)

Actually, the options are amortized over the vesting period.

Options with a life of 10 years, which vest linearly over 5 years, will likely be amortized 20% per annum IMHO. The SFAS 123 fair value method requires recognition of the cost before (or as) vesting occurs.

Additionally, you claim to answer kkirby's question about adjustment to income should the market price vary from what it was on the grant date .. but I don't "see" the answer.
