Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “2019 Plan”) in July 2019 and the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”) in June 2014. There were no compensation costs charged against those plans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The 2019 Plan and the 2014 Plan reserve and make available for grant common stock shares of up to 9,500,000 and 5,000,000, respectively. No option can be granted under the plans 10 years after the plan inception date.

Options granted to officers or employees under the plans may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Options granted to directors, consultants, and independent contractors are limited to non-qualified stock options.

The plans are administered by the Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors. Subject to specified limitations, the Board of Directors or the Committee has full authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. However, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000.

Options granted pursuant to the plans are exercisable within ten years after the date of grant. The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the designated committee, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of Patriot's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value.

As of June 30, 2025, there were 9,500,000 and 185,000 shares available for grant under the 2019 Plan and 2014 Plan, respectively.

Stock Option Activity

The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model. The volatility assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. treasury note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected life. The expected life represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

The following table summarizes stock option activity and related information for the period ended June 30, 2025:
