DAK, <The problem is not calling the COMPENSATION an expense, it is quantifying it. The expense has to be tied to a transfer medium. With the company's own stock, the expense is effectively zero. > Zero what? Zero $US?? No, since the stock trades in $US and this is easily attainable with or without a spreadsheet. There IS no problem quantifying the value of most shares. Zero everything. The same value that you will be reimbursed by your insurance company if you write yourself a check for $10M and accidently run it through the whites wash cycle at the laundromat in your pants pocket.
