No... your missing my point...if they are exercised now are they not taken off the books now...meaning that they are no longer a possible future expense (liability)... I'm not sure I understand how these options are treated in accounting practice as amortized...if you issue options out of the money they only have time value and would be expensed at that value...if the stock appreciates past the option price are they not a liability (cost) to the company if the company has to buy back those shares at a higher price...I think we are arguing apples and oranges here...
