mindmeld, Your response surprises me in two respects. First, that you addressed option grant expense even though my questions were about stock grant expense. Second, that you answered 'yes' to any of the questions. Is your reply about *option* expense because you recognize .. most stock grants are grants of nonvested stock .. *and* nonvested stock is just a an option with an exercise price of $0? Let me clarify my first question by rephrasing. Considering the net cash flow of *all* activities on the Cash Flow Statement .. operating, financing, and investment activities combined .. does expensing a stock grant reduce net cash flow? If you still answer 'yes', then why is stock-based compensation considered a non-cash expense? I agree with your operating cash flow statements. Ron
