+Added: ecosystem and actively repurchasing shares of our common stock.
+Added: Under our new treasury policy
+Added: and strategy, the principal holding in our treasury reserve on the balance sheet will be allocated to digital assets, primarily SOL, fwdSOL
+Added: (a Liquid Staking Token, or “LST”, developed by the Company in collaboration with Socean Labs Inc., doing business as Sanctum,

+Added: a unique opportunity for Forward to become the largest Solana asset treasury operator in the industry.
+Added: Our planned approach involves acquiring
+Added: SOL, staking our holdings via our own validator, deploying SOL into various DeFi protocols to earn yield, fees or rewards, lending SOL

Discontinued Operations
−Removed: In July 2023, we decided
−Removed: to cease operations of our retail distribution segment (“Retail Exit”) and we are presenting the results of operations for

−Removed: by September 30, 2024, at which time the retail segment was considered fully discontinued.
−Removed: We expect to have no further significant continuing
−Removed: involvement with this segment.
−Removed: The inventory of the retail segment met the criteria to be considered “held-for-sale” in accordance
−Removed: with ASC 205-20, “Discontinued Operations.” Accordingly, the retail inventory was classified on our condensed consolidated
−Removed: balance sheet as “discontinued assets held for sale” at September 30, 2023, and the results of operations for the retail segment
−Removed: have been classified as “Discontinued Operations” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and
−Removed: nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
−Removed: In March 2025, in connection
−Removed: with the fourth Conversion Agreement (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), Forward China determined it would
−Removed: not renew the Buying Agency and Supply Agreement, which subsequently expired on May 9, 2025.
−Removed: Without this agreement, the Company determined
−Removed: it would not continue the OEM segment of the business and committed to a plan to sell the segment.
−Removed: On May 16, 2025, the Company and Forward
−Removed: US entered into a transaction agreement with Forward China, pursuant to which the Company sold all equity interest in Forward Switzerland
−Removed: and Forward UK and certain other net assets related to Forward US’ OEM segment to Forward China to satisfy outstanding payables

−Removed: are shown as Due to Forward China on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Results of operations for Forward Switzerland and
−Removed: Forward UK were included in the Company’s results of operations through and including May 16, 2025.
−Removed: The sale of the OEM business
−Removed: is considered a strategic shift that will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and financial results.
−Removed: and liabilities of the OEM segment were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets
−Removed: at September 30, 2024.
−Removed: The results of operations for the OEM segment have been classified as discontinued operations on the condensed
−Removed: consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
−Removed: Unless otherwise noted, results for
−Removed: discontinued operations are excluded from the discussion that follows.
−Removed: Variability of Revenues
−Removed: and Results of Operations
−Removed: A significant portion of
−Removed: our revenue is concentrated with several large customers, some of which are the same and some of which change over time.
−Removed: Orders from some
−Removed: of these customers can be highly variable, with short lead times, which can cause our quarterly revenues, and consequently our results
−Removed: of operations, to vary over a relatively short period of time.
−Removed: Critical Estimates
−Removed: We discussed the significant
−Removed: estimation processes that are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial statements in our Annual Report
−Removed: on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
−Removed: Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” There have been no material changes in critical
−Removed: accounting policies or estimation processes during the period covered by this report, but the following accounting estimates had a material
−Removed: impact on our results of operations for the 2025 Period and fiscal 2024.
−Removed: We review goodwill for impairment
−Removed: annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value.
−Removed: Evaluating goodwill for impairment requires a significant amount of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, future growth
−Removed: rates and profitability.
−Removed: Changes in our business strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact impairment analyses and
−Removed: require the recognition of an impairment charge.
−Removed: Although we base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions
−Removed: that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time of evaluation, actual results could differ from these estimates.
−Removed: December 2024, the Company was notified by its largest design customer of its plan to discontinue their insulin patch pump program, on
−Removed: which IPS was working, and was beginning to wind down all activities related to it.
−Removed: Revenue from this customer (all of which related to
−Removed: this program) represented more than 30% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues in fiscal 2024.
−Removed: Due to the historically high
−Removed: concentration of revenue with this customer, the loss of its business was considered a triggering event which prompted the Company to
−Removed: evaluate the goodwill of the IPS reporting unit.
−Removed: Management performed quantitative testing on this reporting unit, which indicated its
−Removed: carrying amount exceeded its fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $225,000 in December 2024, primarily driven by a
−Removed: reduction in its expected future performance at that time.
−Removed: the second and third quarters of fiscal 2025, the IPS reporting unit continued to experience low levels of staff utilization due in part
−Removed: to the loss of the aforementioned major customer, which was anticipated.
−Removed: In addition, due to the uncertainty in the global markets related
−Removed: to tariffs on imports, many IPS customers were slow to commit funds to projects, primarily in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as they
−Removed: were unsure how tariffs and other macroeconomic factors would impact their business.
−Removed: The combination of these events resulted in negative
−Removed: gross profit for the IPS reporting unit in the second and third quarters, which the Company considered triggering events to evaluate the
−Removed: goodwill of the IPS reporting unit for impairment.
−Removed: Management performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for the IPS reporting
−Removed: unit at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, both of which indicated the fair value of the IPS reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount,
−Removed: resulting in no further goodwill impairment in the three months ended March 31, 2025 or June 30, 2025.
−Removed: to the historical losses of the Kablooe reporting unit, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform quantitative
−Removed: goodwill impairment testing for the Kablooe reporting unit at September 30, 2024.
−Removed: This quantitative testing indicated the carrying amount
−Removed: of the Kablooe reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $200,000 in September 2024, primarily
−Removed: driven by a reduction in its expected future performance.
−Removed: will continue to monitor the IPS and Kablooe goodwill for impairment as needed in future periods.
−Removed: Changes in economic, industry or market
−Removed: conditions, business operations, competition, the price of our common shares or market capitalization or our actual performance compared
−Removed: with estimates of our future performance may affect the fair value of goodwill and could result in additional impairment charges in the
+Added: In March 2025, the Company
+Added: committed to a plan to sell the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) distribution segment of the business (“OEM Plan”).
+Added: In May 2025, the Company completed the sale of this line of business and is presenting its results of operations within discontinued operations
+Added: in the prior period presented herein.
+Added: The OEM distribution segment sourced and sold carrying cases and other accessories for medical monitoring
+Added: and diagnostic kits as well as a variety of other portable electronic and non-electronic devices to OEMs or their contract manufacturers
+Added: worldwide, that either packaged our products as accessories “in box” together with their branded product offerings or sold
+Added: them through their retail distribution channels.
+Added: The Company did not manufacture any of its OEM products and sourced substantially all
+Added: of these products from independent suppliers in China, through Forward Industries Asia-Pacific Corporation, a British Virgin Islands corporation
+Added: (“Forward China”), a related party owned by the Company’s former CEO (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial

+Added: See Note 3 for more information on discontinued
+Added: Critical Accounting Estimates
+Added: Our financial statements
+Added: have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires the use of certain
+Added: estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
+Added: Although we base our estimates
+Added: on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time of evaluation,
+Added: changes in our business strategy, adverse changes in market conditions or various other factors could cause actual results to differ from
+Added: these estimates and such differences could be significant.
+Added: We have identified the below
+Added: critical accounting estimates.
+Added: An accounting estimate is considered critical if both:
+Added: (a) the nature of the estimate or assumption is
+Added: material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (b) the impact of changes in the estimate and assumption has had
+Added: or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
+Added: This listing is not a comprehensive
+Added: list of all our accounting policies.
+Added: For further information regarding the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note
+Added: 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Share-Based Compensation
+Added: measure share-based compensation expense related to employee and non-employee director share-based awards based on the estimated fair
+Added: value of the awards as determined on the date of grant, which is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
+Added: We utilize the
+Added: Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options issued as compensation.
+Added: The Black-Scholes model requires
+Added: the input of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the expected term of the stock option, and the expected volatility of
+Added: our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the option.
+Added: Uncontrollable uncertainties, such as fluctuation
+Added: in interest rates, can have an effect on our Black-Scholes estimate calculations.
+Added: Such fluctuations and other unforeseen changes in inputs
+Added: could have a material impact on the general and administrative expenses within our financial statements.
+Added: Impairment of Digital
+Added: account for some of our digital assets, specifically fwdSOL, as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-30.
+Added: These digital assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any impairment losses.
+Added: We perform an impairment
+Added: analysis each reporting period or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
+Added: An impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of these digital asset is less than their carrying value at any time during the period.
+Added: The impaired digital asset is written down to its fair value at the time of impairment, and the impairment loss cannot be reversed in
+Added: future periods even if fair values subsequently increase.
+Added: determination of fair value requires significant judgment and involves the use of market prices from digital asset exchanges.
+Added: factors including trading volume, market liquidity, and the reliability of pricing sources when determining fair value.
+Added: For fwdSOL, which
+Added: may have limited trading activity, we may use alternative valuation methods including discounted cash flow analysis or other market-based
+Added: Changes in market conditions, trading volumes, or the availability of reliable pricing information could materially affect
+Added: our impairment assessments and results of operations.
