Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Recent Events | Restructuring Charge Separation of GARP Artificial Lift Technology Operations During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we conducted a strategic review of our GARP® artificial lift technology operations and consummated a plan to separate and transfer these operations to a new entity controlled by the inventor of the technology, our Senior Vice President of Operations, and certain former employees of the Company. We invested $108,750 in common and preferred stock of the new entity, Well Lift Inc. ("WLI"). We own 17.5% of WLI and our former employees own the balance of the common stock. Our preferred stock is convertible at our option into common stock which would result in our ownership of 42.5% of WLI, based on the current capital structure of WLI. The company has no contractual exposure to losses of WLI, nor does it have any obligation or agreement to provide additional funding or support to WLI if it is needed. In connection with this transaction, three employees of the Company were terminated. We accrued a restructuring charge based on agreements with the employees covering salary and benefit continuation and an acceleration of vesting of equity awards in exchange for release from liabilities and other provisions including agreements not to compete. Our estimate of accounting charges related to the personnel restructuring as of December 31, 2015 is as follows:
Type of Cost |  | December 31, 2015
Salary expense |  | $ | 530,387 |
Payroll taxes and benefits expense |  | 98,479 |
Stock compensation expense |  | 59,339 |
Personnel restructuring charge |  | $ | 688,205 |
Other Restructuring Impairments Also in connection with the separation of GARP®, the Company and WLI entered into an agreement under which we transferred our technology assets, including our patents and trademarks, to WLI in exchange for a perpetual royalty of 5% on all future gross revenues associated with the GARP® technology. We reduced the carrying value of these exchanged technology assets to our estimate of their expected discounted net present value, which was $108,512. This estimate was based on the recent financial results from our artificial lift technology operations and the current depressed state of the oil and gas industry and the potential upside cases were assigned relatively low probabilities for accounting purposes. This resulted in an impairment charge of $469,395. In addition, we transferred certain inventory and minor fixed assets to WLI which had no further use in our operations and were deemed to have negligible market or salvage value. This resulted in impairments of $92,901 to equipment inventory and $6,932 to fixed assets, respectively. These impairments total $569,228 and are included in restructuring charges for the three months ended December 31, 2015.
