Even though this is a non-cash accounting requirement, the market has to adjust to earnings reports that will show taxes and after-tax earnings. The key word is "adjust" SR K. The accounting is not a requirement. It is "non-cash." And the reports will now also show each such "non-cash" treatment and when the tax liabilities do begin they'll be offset by the same "non-cash" payments until the balance sheet is clear. Just like the inverse of the options expense treatment, such "accounting" without an adjustment creates a false impression of current operations. The income, cash flow and balance sheets are not derivative instruments. The real 2008 eps will not be $0.20/sh without some drastic problem in sales. 0\|0
