The key point here is that firms do different things for "financial accounting/reporting " purposes than they do for "tax reporting" purposes.

not the firms that i respect.

Tom, the different treatment of options on the financial statement from the treatment for tax purposes is one of the major problems in the use of options as a form of salary. I think the answer is that if the "salary" in the form of options is deferred, then the tax deduction by the company should also be deferred. This is one recommendation that FASB officials might want to make.
