ITEM 11. -EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director or officer is not personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for: (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes, §78.300. In addition, Nevada Revised Statutes §78.751 and Article VII of the Company's Bylaws, under certain circumstances, provide for the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has not established formal stock ownership guidelines for our Named Executive Officers. The Company prohibits the Named Executive Officers, as well as other insiders, who may have access to material inside information, from purchasing, selling, entering into short sale transactions, or engaging in hedging or offsetting transactions regarding the Common Stock during periods where such persons have access to material inside information. To ensure compliance with applicable United States federal securities laws, and to avoid even the appearance of trading on the basis of inside information, procedures have been established, and will be maintained and enforced, by the Company to prevent awards and trading by Company insiders for a period beginning four days before the release of periodic reports or triggering events and ended one day after such report or triggering event ("Blackout Periods"). Therefore, the Company has no awards to report that were granted during the Blackout Periods.
The Company is in the process ofadopting formal Insider Trading Compliance practices that prohibit directors, officers, certain employees, and consultants from trading during specific periods beginning at market open on the day following the last trading day of the Company's fiscal quarter until after the Company's public disclosure of financial and operating results for that quarter. In addition, all transactions in the Company's securities (including without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of Company stock, the "net" or "cashless" exercise of stock options and the sale of Company stock issued upon exercise of stock options) must be pre-cleared by the Secretary, or if the Secretary is unavailable, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. The Company may impose additional restricted trading periods at any time if it believes trading by employees would not be appropriate because of developments at the Company that are, or could be, material. The Compensation Committee takes these policies into account when determining the timing and terms of awards so that the Company does not time awards in a manner that may affect the value of executive compensation.

Long-term Incentives:
On July 17, 2011, the shareholders approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the "SIP"). The SIP was subsequently approved by the Shareholders at all of the Annual Shareholder Meetings, including the last years Annual Meeting on December 10, 2024. The SIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and incentive awards to eligible individuals including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
The SIP has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Company's outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby the number of Shares under the SIP increase automatically with increases in the total number of shares. This "Evergreen" provision permits the reloading of shares that make up the available pool for the SIP, once the options granted have been exercised. The number of shares available for issuance under the SIP automatically increases as the total number of shares outstanding increase, including those shares issued upon exercise of options granted under the SIP, which become re-available for grant subsequent to exercise of option grants. The number of shares subject to the SIP and any outstanding awards under the SIP will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Company's common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification, dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.
The SIP also has terms and limitations, including that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the SIP must equal the stock's fair market value, based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock option or stock appreciation right is granted. The SIP is also subject to other limitation including; a limited exception for certain stock options assumed in corporate transactions; stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the SIP may not be "re-priced" without shareholder approval; stock-based awards under the SIP are subject to either three-year or one-year minimum vesting requirements, subject to exceptions for death, disability or termination of employment of an employee or upon a change of control; and shareholder approval is required for certain types of amendments to the SIP.
Employment Contracts:
During 2024, there were three Company employees - Eric Jones, Jim Collord, and Larry Thackery. They were employed per resolution of the Board and other than an hourly salary, plus normal burden, there are no other contractual understandings in the resolutions. Each is reimbursed for the use of personal office equipment and phones, and Jim and Eric are reimbursed for health insurance and related costs up to a set maximum amount, when the Company is financially able to cover the reimbursements.
