This excerpt taken from the GPS 10-Q filed Jun 2, 2006. 3. STOCK-BASED AWARDS On January 29, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in the results of operations if the exercise price was equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (“APB”) 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense was generally limited to the expense attributed to discounted stock options, performance units and stock option modifications. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized in the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 2006 included: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 28, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 28, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. See Note 8 for further information regarding our stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses, including pro forma disclosures for prior periods as if we had recorded the stock-based compensation expense. This excerpt taken from the GPS 10-K filed Mar 28, 2005. Stock-based Awards
We account for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value method, when the exercise price of the employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Performance units and discounted stock option awards, which are granted at less than fair market value, result in the recognition of deferred compensation. Deferred compensation is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity and is amortized to operating expenses over the vesting period of the stock award. We amortize deferred compensation for each vesting layer of a stock award using the straight-line method.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure of Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”) require the disclosure of pro forma net earnings per share as if we had adopted the fair value method. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock based compensation is calculated through the use of option pricing models. These models require subjected assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected life, which affect the calculated values.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share had we applied the fair value provision of SFAS 123:
