Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 9. Stock Option Plans, page WF-27 1. Please advise us how you have concluded that the adjustments to outstanding options did not have any financial statement impact. It appears that the reduction in exercise price and extension of option terms disclosed on page WF-28 resulted in award modifications for which you may be required to record additional compensation expense.
