Mike,

Are you familiar with the exact calculations for stock options as presented in 10K footnotes?

Here's why I ask.

The actual option values that are presented are a straight forward Black Scholes calculation using the inputs they show for risk free, rate, dividends, volatility etc...

They also present an options granted table.

If you multiply the options granted times their value and use that number to adjust the reported net income you don't come up with the adjusted net income they present in the pro-forma data.

I've tried various combinations of tax benefits and spreading out the cost over the years the options will take to vest, but I can never square to the company numbers.

I use my own method for this so it's not that big an issue, but I would at least like to understand the company presentations a little better.

Thanks
Wayne
