Jerome
E. Ball, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forward Industries, died on
April 22, 2008.  A press release issued by the Company announcing Mr.

his death, Mr. Ball was serving as a consultant to the Company with a two year
term expiring December 31, 2009, in consideration of a monthly consulting fee
of $10,000.  The Agreement provides that if at any time during its term

estate would be entitled to payment of one-half the monthly payments remaining
under the Agreement at the time of such termination.  Accordingly, the
Company anticipates making a payment of $100,000 to Mr. Ball's estate within
thirty days of termination.
