Disposition of stock exercised from a Nonstatutory stock option

[Guest Pete Joachim]

An employee exercises his stock option from a NSO. He then diposes of all shares on various dates throughout a 2-3 month period (for various legal reasons he can't dispose of the shares at one time, at one price).

In calculating the employee's loss/gain on the various sales of the shares of stock, is there any rule that would allow the employee to Not have to look at each sale transaction separately? I'm thinking of a rule that would allow you to use a single "average" share price over the 2-3 month period in determining the g/l. Any thoughts?

Thanks
