House Says Options Expensing OK for Top
Execs Only 07/21/2004 11:16 AM
The U.S. House of Representatives has buckled under pressure from technology companies and wants to intervene with accounting standards bodies to let companies keep misleading their investors. That's the bottom line in Tues day's U.S. House of Representatives vote (Mercury News) to allow companies to continue to hide the cost of stock options from the bottom line. It's a shame to see this, but not surprising. The House did say that it would require companies to expense options granted to the five top executives in many companies. Apparently, financial transparency is sort of, kind of, sometimes useful, after all. A better idea would have been to eliminate options entirely for those senior folks. They have the most incentive -- and the most ability -- to tweak financial results to get short-term advantage that gives them giant paydays when stock prices rise. Keep options for the rank-and-file, but account honestly for them. The whole thing is probably a charade, anyway, because the Senate seems unlikely to go along with the House on this. Eventually, stock options are going to be expensed. Eventually, Silicon Valley will face reality.

Expensing Options: A Reprieve?
(BusinessWeek Online) 09/17/2004 10:47 AM
BusinessWeek Online - On weekdays, Jeff Solof is director of Sun Microsystems' Web site. On weekends, he's a deacon at an Eastern Orthodox church in Worcester, Mass. But the 44-year-old father of two has a dream: When he hits his 50s, he'll cash in his 40,000 Sun stock options and become a full-time minister. Stock options "are a long- term incentive" to stick with Sun, he says.

Expensing 09/22/2004 04:20 AM
It's getting ridiculous how much effort is being put into the effort by both sides on the debate over whether or not companies need to expense stock options. This is entirely an accounting question with no direct impact on cash. It shouldn't impact a company's operations in the slightest if they were forced to expense options, but it certainly won't do a bit of good towards cutting down on fraud (the original reason the concept was proposed). The companies that claim this will kill innovation are making a big deal out of nothing. Anyone who will suddenly change how they feel about a company as an investment opportunity because of this is completely clueless and shouldn't be investing anyway. That said, the only thing that putting this law in place would really do is give some more money to accountants to figure out how options should actually be expensed -- and for that reason alone it's probably better if things were left as they are on the issue. However, the companies complaining that politicians aren't paying enough attention to this issue have it wrong. They're paying too much attention to it.

House Passes Bill Saying No To Stock
Option Expensing

House Passes Bill Saying No To Stock
Option Expensing 07/20/2004 06:09 PM
As expected, the House today passed the bill saying FASB can't force companies to expense options, instead saying they should follow the plan suggest ed two years ago by Craig Barrett, that only top execs have their options expensed. The bill still has to make it through the Senate (and the President, of course), which may be difficult. This still seems like a lot of talk over nothing. It doesn't involve any cash movement, just the shifting around of numbers on a piece of paper -- and the most important part of those numbers is already known. Anyone who really needs to know this information already knows it. The only thing this might change is the perception of some people who haven't been paying attention concerning the profitability of a company.

Congress Likes Compromise Solution On
Stock Option Expensing 06/16/2004 04:44 PM
While the Federal Accounting Standards Board has been planning to force companies to start expensing stock options, Congress appears to have other plans. A committee voted on a new bill that would bloc k FASB's ruling and put in place more of a compromise solution that sounds almost exactly like the proposa l Intel's Craig Barrett made two years ago. Instead of expensing all options, just expense those of the top five executives of each company. This way, companies aren't penalized for giving stock options to everybody else. Of course, it still seems like the whole discussion is overblo wn. It's really just shifting a few accounting numbers around -- and anyone who can do a little math can figure out the impact on financial statements for comparison purposes. It's still unclear why FASB is so insistent on expensing options, when doing so will actually make financial statements even less accurate. Most of the info (other than price, which is pretty much made up on the spot) is already in financial statements, so it's unclear what benefit there is to adding an arbitrary price to the options. This proposed law still has a way to go, however, and some powerful forces are very much against it. As with so much in Congress, expect plenty of heavy lobbying and the end result to probably be a lot less reasonable.

CBS May Reject MoveOn.org Superbowl Ad

CBS May Reject MoveOn.org Superbowl Ad 01/17/2004 10:48 PM
- Ain't our Money Green? - CBS May Decline MoveOn.org Ad According to an AdAge.com article, CBS may reject MoveOn.org's bid to have the winner of the "Bush in 30 seconds" ad competition run during the Superbowl. A spokesman for CBS said the Viacom-owned network has received the request from MoveOn to run the ad in the Super Bowl, but added that the ad has to go through standards and practices before CBS will say if it can run an advocacy ad during the game. The spokesman said he didn't think it was likely that the spot would pass standards and practices. (You can view the ad in question here.) Exactly what these "standards and practices" are is unclear, but of the advertisers listed, at least three are running political issue ads: American Legacy Foundation: "Likely to be a new excecution in the 'Connect-truth' (anti-smoking) campaign." Philip Morris USA: "A new execution in its corporate responsibility, anti-smoking campaign." White House Office of National Drug Control Policy: "The drug office is in the big game for the third year in a row."
