Management Commentary

C. Howie Honeyman, Forward Water's CEO and President said, "FWTC has initiated its first commercial trial with partners, to deliver an effective water handling within a direct lithium extraction and conversion process. Not only will this demonstrate at scale the effectiveness of the iFO^TM forward osmosis system but it will represent notable revenue for FWTC." He also added that, "continued interest in the evolving food and beverage technology is leading to previously unanticipated high levels of interest within the sector and could lead to new and broader commercial opportunities." Finally, Mr Honeyman said "the potential FMAC Transaction will allow FWTC to stand on far better financial footing enabling FWTC to continue its commercialization activities."
