Stock Options [Abstract] |
Stock Options | Note 11 - Stock Options In March 2004, the Company's Board and the stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan that provided for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to key employee and certain directors. The Company's Board or designated committee established the terms of each option granted under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. The stock options granted under the plan vested over 1 to 5 years. At December 31, 2011 the Company had no options available for grant and 517,500 options granted and outstanding under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. In May 2007, the Board and the stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Inventive Plan that provided for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to key employee and certain directors. The Board of Directors or designated committee established the terms of each option granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock options granted under the plan generally vest over 1 to 5 years and have a maximum contractual life of 10 years. At December 31, 2011 we had 600,000 options available for grant and 30,000 options granted and outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. On October 25, 2011, the Company entered into a debt cancellation agreement with NTR, whereby NTR agreed to forgive $2,500,000 of payables owed to NTR by the Company. In consideration for this debt forgiveness, NTR was granted options to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of DGSE, par value $0.01 per share, at an exercise price of fifteen dollars ($15) per share (the "NTR Options"). These options were not issued pursuant to either of the shareholder-approved employee stock option plans. The NTR Options vested immediately upon grant, and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The Company estimated the fair value of the NTR Options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which estimated a value of $5,140,713 for these options. Accordingly the Company took a non-cash charge of $2,640,713 to stock compensation expense in Fiscal 2011. The following table summarizes the activity in common shares subject to options for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:
