The above article brought up some things with employee base stock options and how they are shown on financial statements. You may be thinking in terms of the old accounting standards but they have since changed.
It goes into more detail about this sort of arrangement. Pay attention to this section:
"Although stock options clearly have some perceived value at the grant date, the exposure draft proposes measurement models that neither reflect the economic substance of every stock option transaction nor meet certain qualitative characteristics of accounting information under FASB Concept Statement 2, Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information. Specifically, the draft fails to demonstrate that the measurement models are representationally faithful and verifiable."
So the fact is that the shares should and will only be shown when the vested interest matures.
