Operating Highlights and Recent Corporate Developments

• On October 29, 2025, FWTC issued 1,025 convertible debenture units in the aggregate principal amount of $1,025,000. Each unit consisted of $1,000 principal amount of convertible debentures and 5,000 common share purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company until October 29, 2028. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.07 per common share if exercised on or before October 29, 2026 and $0.10 thereafter until expiry. The convertible debentures mature on October 29, 2028 and bear interest at 14% per annum, payable annually on the last business day of each year. The holders have the option to convert the principal owing into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.07 per share on or before October 29, 2026 and $0.10 per share thereafter until maturity or repayment.
• On November 18, 2025, the Company signed a contract for a technology evaluation project with a globally positioned food and beverage product manufacturer. The project will assess the effectiveness of FWTC's treatment technology for concentrating liquid food and beverage streams to create superior quality concentrates.
• On May 20, 2026, the Company announced that it had been informed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that its patent application for a new forward osmosis technology useful in the food and beverage sector had been allowed and that issuance of the patent was anticipated in the next three to four weeks.
• On June 2, 2026, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a client-sponsored wastewater treatment demonstration project. FWTC designed and implemented a treatment process that incorporated its proprietary forward osmosis process and achieved over 97% recovery of water meeting or exceeding reuse quality metrics, at exceptionally low power consumption rates compared to the use of conventional thermal evaporation.
• On June 15, 2026, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a project illustrating how forward osmosis can be used to concentrate high-value feed streams. The client, a globally positioned leader in its commercial field, expressed interest in evaluating FO as a method to create a high-value concentrate that enables effective downstream production. Under the client-sponsored trial, FWT was able to show that, using FO in a manner that reflects the capabilities of its proprietary technology, the feed stream could be concentrated far in excess of the target goals. The potential result is a process that could effectively reduce production costs by eliminating multistage thermal evaporation, which is currently used. The customer and the Company are now considering the next stages of the project, which would ultimately lead to commercial implementation.
• On June 25, 2026, the Company announced a proposed non-brokered private placement offering of units of the Company (the "Units") for minimum gross proceeds of $250,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $500,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit will be issued at a price of $1,000 and will consist of one secured bridge debenture of the Company with a face value of $1,000 (each, a "Bridge Debenture") and 8,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Warrants"). The Bridge Debentures will mature on the date that is 36 months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date") and will bear interest at 12% per annum, payable annually in arrears on the last business day of each year. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at any time until the date that is 36 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per common share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the warrant certificate governing the Warrants. The indebtedness and obligations of the Company pursuant to the Bridge Debentures will be secured by a first-priority security interest in all present and after-acquired property of the Company. A commitment fee equal to 10% of a subscriber's aggregate subscription amount will be payable upon redemption or repayment of the applicable Bridge Debenture.

Management Commentary

Forward Water's CEO, C. Howie Honeyman, commented, "Forward Water has continued to commercialize the iFO platform and, in this reporting period, completed a significant project evaluation for a major client to recover and reuse spent water from operations and the production of RNG fuel. In completing this paid project, FWT was able to show that as much as 97% of the waste volume could be recovered as clean water meeting operational reuse standards. Additionally, for a second international customer, FWT was able to show the strong potential for FO to treat food and beverage products to levels not previously realized. Both of these revenue-generating projects are expected to lead to more detailed commercial relationships in the coming year."
