IBM Agrees To Expense Options

IBM Agrees To Expense Options 04/06/2005 02:16 PM
Just a few months before being required to, IBM is saying that they, too, will join with some other companies in agreeing to expense stock options. Once again, this whole debate seems sort of silly. For most companies, the idea of expensing stock options is pointless. The expense will be a made up number, and won't accurately reflect anything when it shows up on the income statement (the details of stock option plans are already available in financial statements -- just not as an expense). However, those who seem to be claiming that this will be the end of startups are probably overreacting as well. Most folks on Wall Street are smart enough to understand how the change in the accounting rules impacts the company's bottom line, and since this doesn't change the cash position of the company in any real way it shouldn't really impact much of anything. Certainly, a few companies will want to get rid of, or offer fewer, stock options -- but other methods of compensating employees for taking risks will become more popular, or companies will realize that the increased expense on their income statement really doesn't matter that much in the long term when the benefit is that they can attract better talent.

NewsFactor - IBM (NYSE: IBM) says it will start expensing stock options in view of new Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines that go in effect on June 15th. The world’s largest computer firm joins other large firms that have decided to count the value of stock options against their earnings, but leaves the ranks of many technology firms that offer stock options as an incentive to attract the best talent.

Realizing The Additional Expense Of
Offshoring 04/12/2004 11:19 AM
Srinivasan Patel writes in with a link to the latest in a long line of stories talking about how offshoring isn't as cheap as people make it out to be. This isn't a surprise, at all. We've been saying this since people first started freaking out about offshoring last year. What's amusing, though, is that all the people who have been the most vehement against offshoring and for protectionism are the ones hyping up these articles - even though they actually give support to the idea that protectionism isn't needed.
