This means that reported earnings would understated by the phony accounting expense. In this situation, would it matter that much financially to the company if it paid in stock or cash? It's giving an asset to the employee (a little bit like bartering) in return for services. Even though one asset has different characteristics than the other, it's still pay for services. I dunno, maybe they should just pay everyone in cash since it sure doesn't look like there is any correlation between stock options and performance.
