Desert dweller, Thanks, Good Post! That is why I would never put you on ignore as you've suggested. Your bolded portion.

"This anticipated book tax expense relates to the character or the Company's remaining net operating loss carried forwards, the majority of which resulted from deductions related to stock option exercises. While these tax benefits relieve our cash tax obligation, book accounting rules require that they afford no relief to our book tax expense. The reality is that book tax expense is a non-cash item that is offset in equity to the corresponding direct entry to additional paid-in capital."

What does this mean to shareholders? Does it mean that our tax loss carry forwards will be used to help offset the expense of excercised options? Is this a positive in that we can use some of these credits earned when the company wasn't making money to partially cover the present expense to the company of said options? Since the tax loss carry forwards cannot be used to relieve "our book tax expense" is using it in this way a good thing for shareholders in your opinion?

Sorry for all the questions.

OT: Desert, one other thing... I'm not the smartest guy in the world and I did struggle during some Economics and Business courses in earlier life trying to fully understand the difference between a "Debit" and a "Credit". But my 19 year old daughter has informed me that all of my struggle to understand this was unnecessary... it is simple she tells me.

"A Debit is when you have to enter your PIN, and a Credit is when you have to sign your name. Simple as that."

And she is a college math major...
