Understanding (&#147;MOU&#148;) with G-Form LLC, a manufacturer of consumer and athletic
products incorporating proprietary extreme protective technology.&nbsp; The MOU
contemplates that the Company will launch new distinctive Forward branded
products utilizing the licensed technology for sale to consumer electronics
retailers, original equipment manufacturers and other business to business
channels other than sport related or lifestyle stores and military or military
channels.&nbsp; Prior to launch of its own products, the Company may sell current
G-Form branded electronic protection products in its markets.</p>

<p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";'>Under the MOU, the Company is granted the exclusive right to use
G-Form&#146;s protective technology in Forward&#146;s territory, subject to meeting
certain minimum annual sales levels (or at the Company&#146;s option, the making of
royalty payments at corresponding levels) commencing with the twelve-month
period after shipment of the first licensed product, with the minimum levels
increasing in subsequent years.&nbsp; G-Form has the right to continue to sell its
own branded products subject, in the case of sales to U.S. consumer electronics
retailers, to a credit against the Company&#146;s royalty obligations.&nbsp; </p>

<p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";'>The Company has agreed to pay G-Form a $500,000 advance against

loans made by the Company to G-Form in its capacity as prospective joint
venture partner as previously disclosed in the Company&#146;s most recent Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.&nbsp; The MOU is a binding agreement but the parties have

Item 1.01.       Entry Into
Material Definitive Agreement
On August 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU") with G-Form LLC, a manufacturer of consumer and athletic
products incorporating proprietary extreme protective technology.  The MOU
contemplates that the Company will launch new distinctive Forward branded
products utilizing the licensed technology for sale to consumer electronics
retailers, original equipment manufacturers and other business to business
channels other than sport related or lifestyle stores and military or military
channels.  Prior to launch of its own products, the Company may sell current
G-Form branded electronic protection products in its markets.
Under the MOU, the Company is granted the exclusive right to use
G-Form's protective technology in Forward's territory, subject to meeting
certain minimum annual sales levels (or at the Company's option, the making of
royalty payments at corresponding levels) commencing with the twelve-month
period after shipment of the first licensed product, with the minimum levels
increasing in subsequent years.  G-Form has the right to continue to sell its
own branded products subject, in the case of sales to U.S. consumer electronics
retailers, to a credit against the Company's royalty obligations.
The Company has agreed to pay G-Form a $500,000 advance against
the first year's royalties to be offset by cancellation of the $490,000 of
loans made by the Company to G-Form in its capacity as prospective joint
venture partner as previously disclosed in the Company's most recent Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.  The MOU is a binding agreement but the parties have
agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the MOU with a mutually
agreeable long-form license agreement reflecting the terms of the MOU and other
customary terms and conditions.
