This excerpt taken from the WEN 8-K filed Aug 26, 2005. Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Based on the terms of the Group's stock awards and options, variable plan accounting is applied. As a result, the Group recognizes compensation expense related to stock awards and options or reverses previously recognized expense as the estimated market value of its common stock changes from year to year. Because the common stock is not publicly traded, there is no ready market from which to determine its value. As a result, the Group has historically obtained an independent valuation to estimate the market value of its common stock. A critical estimate in the valuation
is anticipated future cash flows of the business. This estimate is subject to change as a result of many factors including, among others, changing economic conditions and the competitive environment. During 2005, the estimated fair value was determined based on the terms of an agreement and plan of merger which was executed on May 27, 2005. See Note 19 for further discussion. The Group is not required to disclose the pro-forma effects of accounting for the options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), |
