I don't think its covered rkral, I don't think expensing works for IPOs. For the same reason there are no options on new issues.

And for good companies, the founders aren't going to IPO on unfriendly terms. I know I wouldn't... I would never give a company away like Google if I had to IPO with a valuation that reflected billions of phantom expenses on my books. Who would? These companies will remain private if the equity market is unfriendly.
