the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Brett M. Johnson, and certain as yet

the employee, and such as yet unspecified other persons engaged in unfair
competition against Targus.&nbsp; The complaint seeks exemplary damages,
reimbursement of costs and fees, unspecified injunctive relief, and
disgorgement by the employee of certain compensation received.&nbsp; Monetary

On
September 14, 2011, Forward Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was advised that a
complaint had been filed on such date in the Superior Court of the State of
California, Orange County, by Targus Group International, Inc., Targus, Inc.,
and Targus Holdings, Inc. (collectively, "Targus" or "plaintiffs").  The
complaint alleges that (i) a sales and marketing employee of the Company (a
former employee of Targus) breached fiduciary duties of loyalty to Targus; (ii)
the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Brett M. Johnson, and certain as yet
unspecified other persons aided and abetted the employee in his alleged breach
of such fiduciary duties; (iii) Brett Johnson violated a non-solicitation/no
hire covenant with Targus allegedly binding on him in connection with the
Company's hire of certain personnel; and (iv) that the Company, Brett Johnson,
the employee, and such as yet unspecified other persons engaged in unfair
competition against Targus.  The complaint seeks exemplary damages,
reimbursement of costs and fees, unspecified injunctive relief, and
disgorgement by the employee of certain compensation received.  Monetary
amounts of damages are not specified.
The Company believes that the complaint is
without merit and intends to vigorously contest the allegations contained in it.
