This excerpt taken from the WYN 8-K filed Jul 19, 2006. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As of December 31, 2005, all employee stock awards were granted by Cendant. Prior to January 1, 2003, Cendant measured its stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value approach under APB Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of SFAS No. 123. Cendant also adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” in its entirety on January 1, 2003, which amended SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting provisions. As a result, Cendant now expenses all employee stock awards over their vesting periods based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. As Cendant elected to use the prospective transition method, Cendant allocated expense to the Company only for employee stock awards that were granted subsequent to December 31, 2002. See Note 15—Stock-Based Compensation for the pro forma stock-based compensation table. |
