EnerJex Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.  Certain amounts in the prior year statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentations.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Our consolidated financial statements include our wholly owned subsidiaries and our majority owned subsidiary Rantoul Partners (through December 31, 2012). 
 
Rantoul Partners was formed in 2011 by our contribution of certain oil assets totaling $2,282,918 to the partnership for 100% ownership in the entity. The assets were valued at their historic cost which approximated market.  In 2011 Rantoul Partners sold 11.75% of the partnership to 2 investors for $2,350,000. 11.75% of the book value of Rantoul Partners after the investment by non-controlling entities was $544,368. The difference between the investment amount ($2,350,000) and the book value bought ($544,368) is accretive to Enerjex in the amount of $1,805,632. This amount was recorded as Enerjex paid in capital. In 2012 an additional $2,650,000 was invested by the two non-controlling owners for an additional 13.25% ownership (bringing their total to 25%).  13.25% of the book value of Rantoul Partners after the additional investments by the non-controlling entities was $1,229,541. The difference between the investment amount ($2,650,000) and the book value bought ($1,229,541) is accretive to Enerjex in the amount of $1,420,459. This amount was recorded as paid in capital.
 
On December 31, 2012 Rantoul Partners was liquidated. At the time of liquidation we owned 75% of Rantoul Partners and 75% of the working interest of Rantoul Partners. We received 75% of the net assets less liabilities of Rantoul Partners that totaled approximately $4,792,380 and a 75% working interest in the oil properties of Rantoul Partners. The non-controlling owners of Rantoul Partners received 25% of the assets less liabilities ($1,597,461) and 25% of the working interest in the properties of Rantoul Partners. Accordingly the Rantoul Partners accounts are not reflected in the financial statements for the 2013 periods; however, Rantoul Partners accounts are still reflected in certain 2012 financial statements.
 
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.  
 
As discussed further in Note 9, on September 27, 2013, we merged with Black Raven Energy, Inc. (Black Raven). The balance sheet accounts of Black Raven, our wholly owned subsidiary, have been consolidated as of September 30, 2013. We did not use the purchase method of accounting due to a common shareholder. Historical costs were used to combine the two entities, accordingly assets and liabilities of Black Raven were not recorded at fair value.  The results of operations of Black Raven are not included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three month or nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements
 
We hold certain financial assets which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC Topic 820-10"). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
 
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our debt approximates fair value at September 30, 2013.
 
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. We consider the derivative liability to be Level 2. We determine the fair value of the derivative liability utilizing various inputs, including NYMEX price quotations and contract terms.
 
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider our marketable securities to be Level 3.
 
Our derivative instruments consist of variable to fixed price commodity swaps.

 Note 4 - Asset Retirement Obligation
 
Our asset retirement obligations relate to the liabilities associated with the abandonment of oil wells. The amounts recognized are based on numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, inflation rates and credit adjusted risk-free interest rates.

Note 5 - Derivative Instruments
 
We have entered into certain derivative or physical arrangements with respect to portions of our crude oil production to reduce our sensitivity to volatile commodity prices and/or to meet hedging requirements under our Credit Facility. We believe that these derivative arrangements, although not free of risk, allow us to achieve a more predictable cash flow and to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations. However, derivative arrangements limit the benefit of increases in the prices of crude oil. Moreover, our derivative arrangements apply only to a portion of our production.
 
We have an Intercreditor Agreement in place between us, our counterparties BP Corporation North America, Inc. (BP), Cargill, Inc. and our agent Texas Capital Bank, N.A., which allows Texas Capital Bank to also act as agent for BP or Cargill Inc. for the purpose of holding and enforcing any liens or security interests resulting from our derivative arrangements. Therefore, we are not required to post additional collateral, including cash.

Note 7 - Long-Term Debt
 
Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 3, 2011, the Company and DD Energy, Inc., EnerJex Kansas, Inc., Black Sable Energy, LLC and Working Interest, LLC, referred to collectively in this context as the “Borrowers”, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (Bank) and other financial institutions and banks that may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to time. The facilities provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are to be used to refinance the Borrowers prior outstanding revolving loan facility with the Bank, dated July 3, 2008, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
  
At our option, loans under the facility will bear a stated interest rate based on the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin, or Floating Rate plus Floating Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate will be, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (b) the Bank's prime rate. The Floating Rate shall mean, at the Borrowers' option, a per annum interest rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus Eurodollar Margin, or (ii) the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Eurodollar borrowings may be for one, two, three, or six months, as selected by the Borrowers. The margins for all loans are based on a pricing grid ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% for the Base Rate Margin and 2.25% to 3.00% for the Floating Rate Margin based on our Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).

The Borrowers entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of $50,000,000 with the Bank, which closed on December 15, 2011. The Amendment reflected the addition of Rantoul Partners as an additional Borrower and added as additional security for the loans the assets that were held by Rantoul Partners.
  
On August 31, 2012, the Borrowers entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank. The Second Amendment reflects the following changes: ) the reduction of the minimum interest rate to 3.75%, ii) an increase in the borrowing base to $7.0 million, iii) the addition of a provision resulting in an event of default if Robert G. Watson Jr. ceases to be the chief executive officer of EnerJex for any reason and a successor reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent is not appointed within one hundred twenty days (120) thereafter, and iv) the addition of new leases to the collateral pool.
 
On November 2, 2012, the Borrowers entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank. The Third Amendment reflects the following changes: i) an increase in the borrowing base to $12.150 million, ii) the addition of a provision permitting the repurchase of up to $2,000,000 of common stock on or before December 31, 2013, subject to certain liquidity requirements, iii) the amendment of certain financial covenant definitions for the purposes of clarity, and iv) the provision of a limited waiver for the failure to comply with the Interest Coverage Ratio for the period ending December 31, 2011.
 
On January 24, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was made effective as of December 31, 2012 with the Bank. The Fourth Amendment reflects the following changes: i) the Bank consented to the restructuring transactions related to the dissolution of Rantoul Partners, and ii) the Bank terminated a Limited Guaranty, as defined in the Credit Agreement, executed by Rantoul Partners in favor of the Bank.
 
On April 16, 2013, the Bank increased our borrowing base to $19.5 million.
 
On September 30, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  The Fifth Amendment reflects the following changes:  (i) an expanded principal commitment amount of the Bank to $100,000,000; (ii) increased the Borrowing Base to $38,000,000; (iii) added Black Raven Energy, Inc. and Adena, LLC to the Credit Agreement as borrower parties; (iv) added certain collateral and security interests in favor of the Bank; and (v) reduced the Company’s current interest rate to 3.30%.
 
Total borrowings as of September 30, 2013 were $29.5 million with $8.5 million of excess liquidity.
 
The senior secured credit facility matures on October 3, 2015, unless extended by mutual agreement. On the maturity date all obligations plus accrued interest must be repaid.

Note 8  - Commitments & Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2013 we had an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $50,000 issued in favor of the Texas Railroad Commission. The letter of credit is required by the Texas Railroad Commission for all companies operating in the state of Texas with production greater than limits they prescribe.

Note 9 - Merger
 
On July 23, 2013, EnerJex, BRE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of EnerJex (Merger Sub), and Black Raven Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (Merger Agreement) pursuant to which Black Raven would be merged with and into Merger Sub and after which Black Raven would be a wholly owned subsidiary of EnerJex. 
 
On September 27, 2013, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were successfully completed.
 
The following transactions were executed on September 27, 2013 per the terms of the Merger Agreement: (i) shares of capital stock of Black Raven were converted into (a) cash totaling $207,067  and  (b) 41,328,914 shares of EnerJex common stock, (ii) all options under the Black Raven option plan were cancelled, and (iii) all warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of Black Raven were converted into warrants to purchase EnerJex common stock. No fractional shares of EnerJex common stock were issued in connection with the Merger, and holders of Black Raven common stock were entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. The board of directors and executive officers of EnerJex remained unchanged as a result of the closing of the Merger.

The following selected pro forma condensed financial information of EnerJex and Black Raven combines the consolidated financial information of EnerJex for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 with the financial information of Black Raven for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.
 
EnerJex and Black Raven present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had EnerJex and Black Raven completed the merger on January 1, 2012. In addition the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not give effect to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not adjusted for any merger related transaction costs or other non-recurring expenses.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes estimates of Black Raven had it accounted for its investments in oil and gas assets using the full cost method of accounting and not the successful efforts method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information was prepared using the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities.

Direct Operating Costs
 
Direct operating costs primarily include direct labor and equipment costs related to pumping, gauging, pulling, well repairs, and general maintenance requirements.  These costs also include certain contract labor costs, and other non-capitalized expenses. Direct operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $2,450,596 compared to $2,162,470 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase is  directly related to the increase in oil production and the initiation of various maintenance operations conducted with an effort to increase production.
 
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,347,576 compared to $1,290,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase is a result of higher oil production.
 
Professional Fees
 
Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $889,529 compared to $1,037,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The reduction is a result of projects that were completed in 2012.
 
Salaries
 
Salaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $570,864 compared to $355,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase is due to an increase in employees.
 
Administrative Expenses
 
Administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $534,340 compared to $598,043 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $393,204 compared to $258,529 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase is a result of increased borrowing under our Credit Facility.
 
Gain (Loss) on Derivatives
 
We had a loss on our derivative contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $992,556 compared with a gain of $161,353 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The difference is attributable to higher oil prices.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $116,719 compared to net income of $683,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease in net income was primarily a result of the increase in direct operating costs and salaries, and a loss on derivatives due to increasing oil prices.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity is a measure of a company's ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through debt financing, revenues from operations and the issuance of equity securities. We believe that our historical means of meeting our capital requirements will provide us with adequate liquidity to fund our operations and capital program in 2013.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 3, 2011, Enerjex and DD Energy, Inc., EnerJex Kansas, Inc., Black Sable Energy, LLC and Working Interest, LLC (Borrowers) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (Bank) and other financial institutions and banks that may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to time. The facilities provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are to be used to refinance Borrowers prior outstanding revolving loan facility with the Bank, dated July 3, 2008, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
At our option, loans under the facility will bear stated interest based on the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin, or Floating Rate plus Floating Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate will be, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (b) the Bank's prime rate. The Floating Rate shall mean, at Borrower's option, a per annum interest rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus Eurodollar Margin, or (ii) the Base Rate plus Base Rate Margin (as those terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Eurodollar borrowings may be for one, two, three, or six months, as selected by the Borrowers. The margins for all loans are based on a pricing grid ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% for the Base Rate Margin and 2.25% to 3.00% for the Floating Rate Margin based on the Company's Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
 
We entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of $50,000,000 with the Bank, which closed on December 15, 2011. The Amendment reflects the addition of Rantoul Partners, as an additional Borrower and adds as additional security for the loans the assets held by Rantoul Partners.
 
We entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of $50,000,000 with the Bank, which closed on August 31, 2012. The Amendment reflects the following changes: i) the reduction of the minimum interest rate to 3.75%, ii) an increase in the borrowing base to $7.0 million, iii) the addition of a provision resulting in an event of default if Robert G. Watson, Jr. ceases to be the chief executive officer of any Borrower for any reason and a successor reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent is not appointed within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, and iv) the addition of new leases to the collateral pool.
 
We entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of $50,000,000 with the Bank, which closed on November 5, 2012. The Amendment reflects the following changes: i) an increase in the borrowing base to $12.150 million, iii) the addition of a provision permitting the repurchase of up to $2,000,000 of common stock on or before December 31, 2013, subject to certain liquidity requirements, iii) the amendment of certain financial covenant definitions for the purposes of clarity, and iv) the provision of a limited waiver for the failure to comply with the Interest Coverage Ratio for the period ending December 31, 2011.
 
On January 24, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was made effective as of December 31, 2012 with the Bank. The Fourth Amendment reflects the following changes: i) Texas Capital Bank consented to the restructuring transactions related to the dissolution of Rantoul Partners, and ii) the Bank terminated a Limited Guaranty, as defined in the Credit Agreement, executed by Rantoul Partners in favor of the Bank.
 
On April 16, 2013, the Bank increased our borrowing base to $19.5 million.
 
On September 30, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  The Fifth Amendment reflects the following changes:  (i) an expanded principal commitment amount of the Bank to $100,000,000; (ii) increased the Borrowing Base to $38,000,000; (iii) added Black Raven Energy, Inc. and Adena, LLC to the Credit Agreement as borrower parties; (iv) added certain collateral and security interests in favor of the Bank; and (v) reduced the Company’s current interest rate to 3.30%.
 
Total borrowings as of September 30, 2013 were $29.5 million with $8.5 million of excess liquidity.
 
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months
 
We intend to meet our near term cash obligations through financings under our credit facility with Texas Capital Bank and through cash flow generated from operations.

Summary of product research and development
 
We do not anticipate performing any significant product research and development under our plan of operation.
 
Expected purchase or sale of any significant equipment
 
We anticipate that we will purchase the necessary production and field service equipment required to produce oil during our normal course of operations over the next twelve months.
 
Significant changes in the number of employees
 
As a result of the Merger with Black Raven Energy, we now have 31 full-time employees, including field personnel. As production and drilling activities increase or decrease, we may have to continue to adjust our technical, operational and administrative personnel as appropriate. We are using and will continue to use independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, particularly in the area of land services, reservoir engineering, geology drilling, water hauling, pipeline construction, well design, well-site monitoring and surveillance, permitting and environmental assessment. We believe that this use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain operating expenses, general expenses, and capital costs.
  
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our critical accounting estimates include the value our oil and gas properties, asset retirement obligations, and share-based payments.
 
Oil Properties
 
We follow the full-cost method of accounting under which all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized. We also capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with our acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities.
 
Proved properties are amortized using the units of production method (UOP). Currently we only have operations in the Unites States of America. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the cost of these reserves. The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop proved reserves) and asset retirement costs, less related salvage value.
 
The cost of unproved properties are excluded from the amortization calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until development projects are placed into service. Geological and geophysical costs not associated with specific properties are recorded to proved property immediately. Unproved properties are reviewed for impairment quarterly.
 
Under the full-cost-method of accounting, the net book value of oil properties, less deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is (a) the present value of future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil & gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil & gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of 10 percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized less (d) income tax effects related to differences between book and tax basis of properties. Future cash outflows associated with settling accrued retirement obligations are excluded from the calculation. Estimated future cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.
 
Any excess of the net book value of proved oil properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional DD&A in the statement of operations. The ceiling calculation is performed quarterly. There were no impairments resulting from the quarterly ceiling tests as of the quarters ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The asset retirement obligation relates to the plug and abandonment costs when our wells are no longer useful. We determine the value of the liability by obtaining quotes for this service and estimate the increase we will face in the future. We then discount the future value based on an intrinsic interest rate that is appropriate for us. If costs rise more than what we have expected there could be additional charges in the future however we monitor the costs of the abandoned wells and we will adjust this liability if necessary.
  
Share-Based Payments
 
The value we assign to the options and warrants that we issue is based on the fair market value as calculated by the Black-Scholes pricing model. To perform a calculation of the value of our options and warrants, we determine an estimate of the volatility of our stock. We need to estimate volatility because there has not been enough trading of our stock to determine an appropriate measure of volatility. We believe our estimate of volatility is reasonable, and we review the assumptions used to determine this whenever we issue a new equity instruments. If we have a material error in our estimate of the volatility of our stock, our expenses could be understated or overstated.
 
Effects of Inflation and Pricing
 
The oil industry is very cyclical and the demand for goods and services of oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry puts extreme pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Material changes in prices impact revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations of bank loans and value of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. We anticipate business costs and the demand for services related to production and exploration will fluctuate while the commodity prices for oil remains volatile.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
We are a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer, Robert G. Watson, Jr., and our Chief Financial Officer, Douglas M. Wright evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13-a-15(b) . Based on this evaluation, Mr. Watson and Mr. Wright concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
We may become involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to our business. However, to our knowledge as of the date of this transition report, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject.
 
On January 23, 2012, we filed a petition seeking recovery of damages arising from breach of contract, legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri against attorneys Jeffrey T. Haughey, Robert K. Green, and the law firm Husch Blackwell LLP f/k/a Husch Blackwell Sanders, LLC. The petition in this action, EnerJex Resources, Inc., v. Haughey, et al., alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated their fiduciary duties and defrauded us in connection with our stock offering in 2008. The petition alleges economic loss of approximately $50 million and demands judgment for unspecified actual and punitive damages together with repayment of $484,473 in legal fees paid by EnerJex. 
 
 
16

 
At the time the petition was filed, we estimated our economic loss of approximately $50 million by conducting an analysis that considered a number of factors, including the loss of at least $25 million of gross proceeds we would have received in the failed 2008 stock offering, the loss of the value we could have created had EnerJex been able to utilize the proceeds from the stock offering to execute its business plan in the 2008 economic environment, and the loss of market value for our common stock.  
 
A trial is currently scheduled to hear this case in the 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri on December 2, 2013.
 
Our financial statements reflect fees paid to the defendants of $484,473 and disputed unpaid fees of $492,134. In addition, our financial statements reflect the litigation costs that we have incurred to date. Any judgment or settlement resulting from this litigation that is reached for our benefit in an amount that exceeds our total costs related to this matter, including the cost of litigation and the paid and disputed fees referenced above, shall be subject to a contingency fee for the benefit of our attorneys. There can be no assurance of the outcome of this litigation, including whether and in what amount EnerJex may recover damages.
