Mucho: There's no "time value" as such associated with the employee stock option grants. They are granted at an exercise price which equals the actual stock price on the day of grant, have a ten year expiration, and generally vest over 5 years beginning after a 6 month wait period when they can't be exercised. For QCOM, I posted previously the effect on net earnings and EPS for FY 1998-2001 if the value were computed using a "Black-Scholes" approach and amortizing the cost over the vesting period. Take a look at Page A-43 of the proxy for additional details on the assumptions involved. David T.
