Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs, Share-Based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock Options [Text Block] | Note 2 – Stock Transactions The Series A preferred stock is convertible into 4,779,460 shares of our common stock, and the Series A preferred stock, by its terms, shall convert into common stock on a one-to-one basis (subject to adjustment) once the cumulative dividends paid with regard to such stock equal to original principal value of $1.00 per share. In the event of liquidation, the holders of our Series A preferred stock would receive priority liquidation payments before payments to common shareholders equal to the amount of the stated value of the preferred stock before any distributions would be made to our common shareholders. The preferred stockholders have the right, by majority vote of the shares of preferred stock, to generally approve any issuances by us of equity that is senior to or equal in rights to the preferred stock. We are required by the terms of our Series A preferred stock to declare dividends each calendar quarter in an aggregate amount equal to one-third of our adjusted net cash from operating activities reduced by any principal amount of debt repayment in such calendar quarter to institutional lenders and other secured creditors. Dividends of $433,696 and $56,263 were paid for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. A dividend of $174,763 will be paid in the second quarter of 2013 to preferred shareholders of record as of December 31, 2012. Stock transactions in fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 We issued 60,000 shares at $0.77 per shares to an Investor Relations firm in exchange for services. The market value of the stock at the date of issuance was $0.77 per share. We also issued 75,000 shares to a Director of the Company for services and 40,000 shares to an employee of the Company. The market price at the date of issuance for these shares was $0.60 and $0.78 respectively. On November 30, 2012 the Company purchased two million shares of stock from a shareholder of the Company for $323,035 in cash (including an option payment that we previously made to the selling stockholder) and a note payable of $825,000 bearing interest at a rate per annum of twenty-four hundredths percent (0.24%) (See footnote 13). Stock transactions in fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 On March 31, 2011, we issued 5,727,660 shares that were sold at a price of $0.60 per share. On March 31, 2011, we entered into a Stock Redemption Agreement with Working Interest Group, LLC whereby we repurchased 3,750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share. On November 14, 2011, we agreed to issue 100,000 shares for the purchase of assets. On December 31, 2011 we agreed to issue 25,000 shares of our common stock as compensation to a board member for services performed. Option transactions Officers (including officers who are members of the Board of Directors), directors, employees and consultants are eligible to receive options under our stock option plans. We administer the stock option plans and we determine those persons to whom options will be granted, the number of options to be granted, the provisions applicable to each grant and the time periods during which the options may be exercised. No options may be granted more than ten years after the date of the adoption of the stock option plans. Each option granted under the stock option plans will be exercisable for a term of not more than ten years after the date of grant. Certain other restrictions will apply in connection with the plans when some awards may be exercised. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the stock option plans), the vesting date on which all options outstanding under the stock option plans may first be exercised will be accelerated. Generally, all options terminate 90 days after a change of control. 2000-2001 Stock Option Plan The Board of Directors approved a stock option plan and our stockholders ratified the plan on September 25, 2000. The total number of options that can be granted under the plan is 200,000 shares. Stock Option Plan On May 4, 2007, we amended and restated the EnerJex Resources, Inc. Stock Option Plan to rename the plan and to increase the number of shares issuable under the plan to 1,000,000. Our stockholders approved this plan in September of 2007. On October 14, 2008 our stockholders approved a proposal to amend and restate the 2002-2003 Stock Option Plan to (i) rename it the EnerJex Resources, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), (ii) increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan from 1,000,000 to 1,250,000, and (iii) add restricted stock as an eligible award that can be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. At December 31, 2011 there were 900,000 options outstanding. On December 31, 2010 we granted 900,000 options that vest ratably over a 48 month period and are exercisable at $0.40 per share to an Officer of the company. The term of the options is 5 years. The fair value of the options as calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $307,751. The amount recognized as expense in the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011was $76,938 respectively and the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods is $153,876. There are 450,000 options vested at December 31, 2012. On December 1, 2012 we granted 785,000 options that vest ratably every six months over a three year period to four employees of the company. The fair value of the option on the date of the grant was calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $167,032 using the following weighted average assumptions: exercise price of $0.70 per share; common stock price of $0.56 per share; volatility of 67%; term of three years; dividend yield of 0%; interest rate of .47%. The amount recognized as expense in the year ended December 31, 2012 was $18,825 and the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods is $148,208. There were no options vested at December 31, 2012. New Stock Incentive Plan Because there are not available under our existing 2000/2001 Stock Option Plan or our 2002-2003 Stock Option Plan sufficient shares to cover options that we intend to grant, and because those existing plans are dated and would not allow us to grant tax-qualified incentive stock options, we intend to seek stockholder approval of a new stock incentive plan and to reserve thereunder up to approximately 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for the granting of options and issuance of restricted shares to our employees, officers, directors, and consultants. We have entered into an agreement with Douglas M. Wright, our chief financial officer, that if he is employed with us when that plan has been approved by our stockholders, then we will grant to him under the new stock incentive plan an option for the purchase of 750,000 shares of stock, subject to a vesting arrangement. Warrant Transactions On March 31, 2011, we granted 2,838,330 Warrants to each investor that entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement for additional consideration, each investor received a stock purchase warrant to purchase 1 share of common stock at a price of $0.90 per share, for each 2 shares of common stock purchased. Each Warrant was exercisable until December 31, 2011. The fair value at the date of the grant was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and totaled $74,164, using the following weighted average assumptions: exercise price of $0.90 per share; common stock price of $0.85 per share; volatility of 42%; term of nine months; dividend yield of 0%; interest rate of 0.30%. On December 31, 2011 the warrants were extended for an additional nine months to expire September 30, 2012. The fair value at the date of the extension was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and totaled $154,676, using the following weighted average assumptions: exercise price of $0.90 per share; common stock price of $0.90 per share; volatility of 71%; term of nine months; dividend yield of 0%; interest rate of 0.25%. The amount recognized as expense in the year ended December 31, 2011 was based on an estimate of the number of warrants that would be exercised and totaled $228,840. On September 30, 2012 the warrants were cancelled unexercised. On May 31, 2012, we granted 250,000 Warrants to an investor relations firm for investor relations services to be performed over the next two years. Each warrant is exercisable until May 31, 2014. The fair value at the date of grant was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and totaled approximately $86,000 using the following assumptions. The exercise price is $0.70 per share. The market price of our stock at the grant date was $0.75 per share. We assumed volatility of 82%, a dividend yield of 0.0%, an interest rate of 0.30% and a two year term. A summary of stock options and warrants is as follows:
