Stockholders Equity |
Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity | Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity Dividends Declared and Paid Dividends declared and paid on Common Stock were $851,266 and $854,272 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company announced on August 11, 2022 that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share payable in cash on September 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 31, 2022 (see Note 13 - Subsequent Events). Stock Options Effective August 12, 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Participation Plan (the “2014 Plan”) pursuant to which a maximum of 700,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company were initially authorized to be issued pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock bonuses. Incentive stock options granted under the 2014 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant (except no later than five years for a grant to a 10% stockholder). Non-statutory stock options granted under the 2014 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee determines the vesting provisions for stock awards granted under the 2014 Plan, subject to the provisions of the 2014 Plan. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2014 Plan, including an increase in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that are authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan to 1,400,000. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include stock-based compensation expense for stock options totaling approximately $2,000 and $14,000, respectively. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include stock-based compensation expense for stock options totaling approximately $8,000 and $29,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is net of estimated forfeitures of approximately 18% and 16%, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income within other operating expenses. No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The fair value of stock options at the grant date are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s 2014 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
Stock Options |  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at January 1, 2022 |  |  | 107,201 |  |  | $ | 8.31 |  |  |  | 2.92 |  |  | $ | - |
Granted |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |
Exercised |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |
Expired/Forfeited |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
Outstanding at June 30, 2022 |  |  | 107,201 |  |  | $ | 8.31 |  |  |  | 2.43 |  |  | $ | - |
Vested and Exercisable at June 30, 2022 |  |  | 94,701 |  |  | $ | 8.26 |  |  |  | 2.46 |  |  | $ | - |
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at June 30, 2022 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the $3.94 closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on June 30, 2022. No options were exercised, forfeited or expired during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The total intrinsic value of options when forfeited are determined as of the date of forfeiture. The total intrinsic value of options when expired are determined as of the date of expiration. Participants in the 2014 Plan may exercise their outstanding vested options, in whole or in part, by having the Company reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable by a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the option being exercised (“Net Exercise”), or by exchanging a number of shares owned for a period of greater than one year having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the option being exercised (“Share Exchange”). As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $2,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of June 30, 2022 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.24 years. As of June 30, 2022, there were 352,066 shares reserved for grants under the 2014 Plan. Restricted Stock Awards A summary of the restricted Common Stock activity under the Company’s 2014 Plan for six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:
Restricted Stock Awards |  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share |  |  | Aggregate Fair Value |
Balance at January 1, 2022 |  |  | 535,410 |  |  | $ | 7.01 |  |  | $ | 3,753,224 |
Granted |  |  | 98,456 |  |  | $ | 5.53 |  |  | $ | 544,503 |
Vested |  |  | (234,219 | ) |  | $ | 7.32 |  |  | $ | (1,715,220 | )
Forfeited |  |  | (9,748 | ) |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
Balance at June 30, 2022 |  |  | 389,899 |  |  | $ | 6.91 |  |  | $ | 2,582,506 |
Fair value was calculated using the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation for these grants was approximately $479,000 and $472,000, respectively, which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation for these grants was approximately $998,000 and $952,000, respectively, which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. These amounts reflect the Company’s accounting expense and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the directors, executives and employees. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On June 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Kingstone Companies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject to stockholder approval. Such approval was obtained on August 10, 2021. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees of the Company with an opportunity to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the ESPP is 750,000, subject to adjustment as provided for in the ESPP. The ESPP was effective August 10, 2021 and expires on August 10, 2031. A maximum of 5,000 shares of Common Stock may be purchased by an employee during any offering period. The ESPP currently provides for an offering period from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022 (“2021/2022 Offering”). For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation under the 2021/2022 Offering was approximately $5,000 and $-0-, respectively, which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation under the 2021/2022 Offering was approximately $11,000 and $-0-, respectively, which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
