GVTucker, re "The only reason Cisco is expensing in this case is because FIN 42 requires them to do so. It has more to do with acquisition accounting than it does with stock options expensing. "

FIN 46 raised the gun and FIN 44 aimed it .. then FIN 25 and FIN 28 pulled the trigger .. because Andiamo's options are variable stock options.

IMO, if Andiamo had fixed stock options, Cisco wouldn't be expensing them. And if Cisco granted variable stock options, they would have to expense them too .. even if no acquisition occurred.

Regards, Ron

[Edit: Andiamo stock-based compensation may include awards other than variable stock options.]
