Seems like there are good arguments on both sides. However, I like the one that says the tax return should be the financial statement. I like it because it seems logical although I have no idea how that would work in practice as no group of accountants can ever come up with the same tax-owed on an individual's return much less that of a corporation. If these aren't options but outright stock grants that are held in the treasury as assets, the argument for expensing them seems much cleaner. At any rate, it seems there will be some companies who do and some who don't. The do's being those who don't give out that many and the dont's being those who give out a lot.
