Note 8 – Capital Stock, page F-14
2.You disclose the requisite service period is the three year period starting with the first date
of employment. However, you determined that the full amount of the fair market value of
the shares should be recognized as compensation expense as of the date of the grant since
the awards immediately vest. Please note that since the awards includes a feature to
repurchase the awards for no consideration if the employee terminates employment before
the completion of the service period, the substance of this feature would represent a
substantive service condition (i.e., vesting is over the three year period). We refer you to
ASC 718-10-25-3.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
You may contact Amanda Kim, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3241 or Stephen
Krikorian, Accounting Branch Chief, at (202) 551-3488 if you have questions regarding
comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please contact Michael C. Foland,
Attorney-Advisor, at (202) 551-6711 or Edwin Kim, Attorney-Advisor, at (202) 551-3297 with
any other questions.
