Note 10 – Common Stock Options

 

Stock Incentive Plan

 

On June 21, 2016, we amended and restated our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which was originally adopted on March 5, 2012, and terminated on March 5, 2022. As amended, the 2012 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 11,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant of options or other awards, including stock grants, to employees, officers or directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 2012 Plan may either be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or may be non-qualified options, and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years from date of grant.

 

Common Stock Option Issuances

 

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 6,000,000 options to an outside consultant with the following terms; (i) 2,000,000 options will have an exercise price of $0.03 and will vest after two months from the date of issuance, (ii) 2,000,000 options will have an exercise price of $0.10 and will vest after four months from the date of issuance, and (iii) 2,000,000 options will have an exercise price of $0.10 and vest after six months from the date of issuance. All 6,000,000 options have a term of one year from the date of issuance. These options were not issued pursuant to any stock incentive plan.

 

Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation

 

A total of $122,241 and $1,153 of stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as a result of the vesting of common stock options issued. As of September 30, 2025, a total of $16,731 of unamortized expense which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 0.25 years.

 

 

The following is a summary of information about the stock options outstanding at September 30, 2025.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2025   2024 
         
Average risk-free interest rates   4.33%   -%
Average expected life (in years)   1    - 
Volatility   187.28%   -%

 

The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s common 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 its common stock options. During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

 

The following is a summary of activity of outstanding common stock options: 

 

   Number   Weighted Average 
   of Shares   Exercise Price 
Balance, September 30, 2023   8,120,000   $0.052 
Options issued   -    - 
Options repurchased/expired   -    - 
           
Balance, September 30, 2024   8,120,000   $0.052 
Options issued   6,000,000    0.077 
Options forfeited   (200,000)   0.10

Exercisable, September 30, 2025   9,920,000   $0.047 

 

As of September 30, 2025, these options in the aggregate had $36,120 of intrinsic value as the per share market price of $0.023 of the Company’s common stock as of such date was greater than the weighted-average exercise price of some of these options.
