This excerpt taken from the HAS 10-K filed Mar 9, 2005. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation At December 26, 2004, the Company has various stock-based employee compensation plans and a plan for non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors, which are described more fully in note 11. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, as amended by No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", (collectively "SFAS 123") Hasbro accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. As required by the Company's existing stock plans, stock options are granted at or above the fair market value of the Company's stock and, accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for these grants in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company records compensation expense related to other stock-based awards, such as restricted stock grants, over the period the award vests, typically three years. Had compensation expense been recorded under 55 the fair value method as set forth in the provisions of SFAS 123 for stock options awarded, the impact on the Company's net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been:
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"), which amends SFAS 123 and SFAS 95 "Statement of Cash Flows". SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS 123(R) is effective for the Company as of June 27, 2005, the first day of the 2005 fiscal third quarter. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS 123(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
