During fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996 the Company granted 1 million shares, 3
million shares and 6 million shares, respectively, of restricted stock. For
substantially all restricted stock grants, at the date of grant, the recipient
has all rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions on
transferability and a risk of forfeiture. Restricted shares typically vest over
a seven-year period beginning on the date of grant and restrictions may not
extend more than ten years from the date of grant. The Company records unearned
compensation equal to the market value of the restricted shares on the date of
grant and charges the unearned compensation to expense over the vesting period.
There were 10 million, 29 million and 68 million shares of common stock
available for future grants under the Incentive Plan at February 1, 1998,
February 2, 1997, and January 28, 1996, respectively.
The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan that qualifies under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and permits substantially all employees
to purchase shares of common stock. Participating employees may purchase common
stock through payroll deductions at the end of each participation period at a
purchase price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common
stock at the beginning or the end of the participation period. Common stock
reserved for future employee purchases under the plan aggregated 13 million
shares at February 1, 1998, 15 million shares at February 2, 1997, and 19
million shares at January 28, 1996. Shares issued under this plan were 2 million
shares in fiscal 1998, 3 million shares in fiscal 1997 and 3 million shares in
fiscal 1996.
The weighted average fair value of stock options at date of grant was $16.26,
$3.73, and $2.22 per option for options granted during fiscal years 1998, 1997,
and 1996, respectively. Additionally, the weighted average fair value of the
purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan granted in fiscal years
1998, 1997, and 1996 was $6.11, $2.04, and $1.01 per right, respectively. The
weighted average fair value of options was determined based on the Black-Scholes
model, utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:

</TABLE>
Had the Company accounted for its stock option and stock purchase plans by
recording compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant date on a
straight line basis over the vesting period, stock-based compensation costs
would have reduced pretax income by $100 million ($69 million,

<PAGE> 34
net of taxes), $22 million ($16 million, net of taxes) and $8 million ($6
million, net of taxes) in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The pro
forma effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been a reduction of
$0.09, $0.02 and $0.01 for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
pro forma effect on basic earnings per common share would have been a reduction
of $0.11, $0.02 and $0.01 for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
You should note that the options are
valued at their fair value at the time of grant, not
the time of exercise. At my last job, options nearly
doubled my salary. But that was only cause the
stock price went up 4 times. The options they
gave me were struck out of the money at the
time of grant. It was only later that they become
valuable.
The situation at DELL is similar. Employees were
granted options of relatively low value. The
stock price increased, driving up the option
price. But for accounting purposes, the expense
occurs at the time of grant, not the time of execution.
