John, the Compensation + number is the approximate 30% gross-up you were getting on all your paycheques.

The Phantom stock taxable benefit is the tax on stock issued in 2000 that was unvested at year-end.  The value is calculated as:

Units issued				14,415 units
US share price on date issued		$55.50
Discount on stock price for volatility	33%
US share price after discount		37.00
F/X rate					1.4499
Cdn share price				$53.65
Value of taxable benefit			$773,350.08

John, you need to talk to your tax advisors regarding this stock.  When you leave a country you are deemed to dispose of assets at Fair Market Value.  I don't know what value would be put on this stock by both the Cdn and US taxation authorities as they had not vested at date of departure.

So as you can see, John did have taxable income of $9mm even though not all of it was actual cash in his pocket.  I think that boxes 38 and 40 through most people because they don't realize that those numbers are included in box 14.

If you need more info, please let me know.
