Hi rkral,

actually, the answer is yes to many of those:
* operating cash flows would be reduced by the stock options expense amount, because net income is a factor in operating cash flows; however it would then be increased by the tax shield benefits; but the net net would be a reduction of operating cash flows if it was expensed
* stockholder's equity would also be reduced if stock options were expensed, because net income is a part of retained earnings, which is a part of stockholder's equity
