Well, if they were to do a non-gaap EPS it wouldn't be of much help. The options expense would disappear, but some of the revenue they have recognized would as well (most likely.)

The reason they are required to expense the equity compensation is because they could theoretically sell those instead of giving them away.. so it's an expense because they are giving something of value away for free.

Although you could also argue that it saves them money they would otherwise have to dish out for the same services (consulting.. in this case).

I'm excited for the Morning, I have a feeling it will be a good earnings although technically the chart is in a down waveish and might sell off(we rarely only have 1 red day, its usually 2-4 in a row historically) but a good earnings might break that cycle!
