We are going through our first annual audit. We have granted employee stock options. The first tranche was granted at a $100 strike (at the time it was at-the-money). That was on Dec 31, 2013. We valued them then (10 year expiration, 80% vol, ~2% rate, $100 strike and share price) for around $90/option with a a 4 year vesting schedule. The shares are now valued at around $600. As I understand it, we do not revalue the options and simply continue to expense them over the 4 year vest period (so we continue to use the $90 valuation, rather than repricing with the much higher stock price). Is this correct? Thanks so much for your expertise.

My suggestion would be to check with your auditors. They will advise you on how to handle this issue.
