<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Forward Industries, Inc. (&ldquo;Forward&rdquo;,
&ldquo;we&rdquo;, &ldquo;our&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Forward Industries (IN),
Inc., Forward Industries (Switzerland) GmbH, Forward Industries UK Limited, Intelligent Product Solutions, Inc. (&ldquo;IPS&rdquo;),
and Kablooe, Inc. (&ldquo;Kablooe&rdquo;), is a fully integrated design, development and manufacturing solution provider for top
tier medical and technology customers worldwide. The Company has expanded its ability to design and develop solutions for our existing
multinational client base and expand beyond the diabetic product line into a variety of industries with a full spectrum of hardware
and software product design and engineering services.&nbsp; In addition to our existing design and distribution of carry and protective
solutions, primarily for handheld electronic devices, the Company is now a one-stop shop for design, development and manufacturing
solutions serving a wide range of clients in the industrial, commercial and consumer industries. The Company&rsquo;s previous principal
customer market has been original equipment manufacturers, or &ldquo;OEMs&rdquo; (or the contract manufacturing firms of these
OEM customers), that either package our products as accessories &ldquo;in box&rdquo; together with their branded product offerings
or sell them through their retail distribution channels. The Company&rsquo;s OEM products include carrying cases and other accessories
for medical monitoring and diagnostic kits and a variety of other portable electronic and non-electronic products (such as sporting
and recreational products, bar code scanners, smartphones, GPS location devices, tablets and firearms).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the expansion of the design
development capabilities through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IPS and Kablooe, the Company is now able to introduce proprietary
products to the market from concepts brought to it from a number of different sources, both inside and outside the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">By virtue of our strategic collaboration
and distribution agreements, we have secured a portfolio of smart enabled products which we have begun distributing to retail outlets
in the United States. The rollout of these products has been delayed by COVID-19. As a result of this collaboration and other product
initiatives, we invested in and began to build out a retail distribution network responsible for getting products into big box
retailers for retail consumption. This build out is a continuation of our strategy to be a one-stop shop for product development,
manufacture and distribution and represents a significant achievement in completing the strategic process of taking a product from
concept to the consumer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Through the manufacturer representative
agreements we currently have in place, we expect to sell products to retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Costco,
Amazon, CVS, Walgreens, Staples, Office Depot and many others. The manufacturer representative model allows us to engage and support
a large sales team and cover a larger territory with a variable cost model as these representatives work on commission only.</P>

the New York Business Corporation Law (&ldquo;BCL&rdquo;), a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers made, or threatened

good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation or enterprise,
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. In the case of stockholder derivative suits, the corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he
or she acted in good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonable believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation
or enterprise, not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i)
a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which action was
brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount

made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (and
whether or not (i) by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or (ii) by or in the right of any Other
Entity (as defined below) which such person served in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, to procure a judgment in
its favor), by reason of the fact that such person, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or served such Other Entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, against all judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and all expenses, including attorneys&rsquo; and other experts&rsquo; fees, costs and disbursements, actually
and reasonably incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, or actually and reasonably
incurred by such person (a) in making an application for payment of such expenses before any court or other governmental body,
or (b) in otherwise seeking to enforce the provisions of this Section 501, or (c) in securing or enforcing such person&rsquo;s
rights under any policy of director or officer liability insurance provided by the Corporation, if such person acted in good faith,
for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of services for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea
of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith, for
a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of&nbsp;service for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation or that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.</P>

to which he or she was not legally entitled; (ii) no indemnification may be made if there has been a settlement approved by the

court in approving the settlement; and (iii) in the event of a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment

which, but for such payment, such insurer would have to the Corporation or to any director or officer of the Corporation or other
