and distribution agreements, we have secured a portfolio of smart enabled products which we have begun distributing to retail outlets
in the United States. The rollout of these products has been delayed by COVID-19. As a result of this collaboration and other product
initiatives, we invested in and began to build out a retail distribution network responsible for getting products into big box
retailers for retail consumption. This build out is a continuation of our strategy to be a one-stop shop for product development,
manufacture and distribution and represents a significant achievement in completing the strategic process of taking a product from
concept to the consumer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Through the manufacturer representative
agreements we currently have in place, we expect to sell products to retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Costco,
Amazon, CVS, Walgreens, Staples, Office Depot and many others. The manufacturer representative model allows us to engage and support
a large sales team and cover a larger territory with a variable cost model as these representatives work on commission only.</P>

V. INDEMNIFICATION. Section 501. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify any person
made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (and
whether or not (i) by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or (ii) by or in the right of any Other
Entity (as defined below) which such person served in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, to procure a judgment in
its favor), by reason of the fact that such person, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or served such Other Entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, against all judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and all expenses, including attorneys&rsquo; and other experts&rsquo; fees, costs and disbursements, actually
and reasonably incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, or actually and reasonably
incurred by such person (a) in making an application for payment of such expenses before any court or other governmental body,
or (b) in otherwise seeking to enforce the provisions of this Section 501, or (c) in securing or enforcing such person&rsquo;s
rights under any policy of director or officer liability insurance provided by the Corporation, if such person acted in good faith,
for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of services for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea
of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith, for
a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of&nbsp;service for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation or that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.</P>

were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage
to which he or she was not legally entitled; (ii) no indemnification may be made if there has been a settlement approved by the
court and the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the
court in approving the settlement; and (iii) in the event of a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor, no indemnification may be made if it is settled or otherwise disposed of or such person shall have been finally adjudged
liable to the Corporation, unless (and only to the extent that) the court in which the action was brought, or if no action was

expenses under a policy of insurance paid for by the Corporation. Such advances shall be paid by the Corporation to such person
within twenty days following delivery of a written request therefor by such person to the Corporation. No payment made by the Corporation

which, but for such payment, such insurer would have to the Corporation or to any director or officer of the Corporation or other

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary only highlights the more
detailed information appearing elsewhere in this reoffer prospectus or incorporated by reference in this reoffer prospectus. It
may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire reoffer prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference in this reoffer prospectus before deciding whether to invest in our securities. Unless otherwise
indicated or the context requires otherwise, in this reoffer prospectus and any reoffer prospectus supplement hereto references
to "Forward" "we," "us," and "our" refer to Forward Industries, Inc. and its consolidated
subsidiaries.
Our Company
Forward Industries, Inc. ("Forward",
"we", "our" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Forward Industries (IN),
Inc., Forward Industries (Switzerland) GmbH, Forward Industries UK Limited, Intelligent Product Solutions, Inc. ("IPS"),
and Kablooe, Inc. ("Kablooe"), is a fully integrated design, development and manufacturing solution provider for top
tier medical and technology customers worldwide. The Company has expanded its ability to design and develop solutions for our existing
multinational client base and expand beyond the diabetic product line into a variety of industries with a full spectrum of hardware
and software product design and engineering services.  In addition to our existing design and distribution of carry and protective
solutions, primarily for handheld electronic devices, the Company is now a one-stop shop for design, development and manufacturing
solutions serving a wide range of clients in the industrial, commercial and consumer industries. The Company's previous principal
customer market has been original equipment manufacturers, or "OEMs" (or the contract manufacturing firms of these
OEM customers), that either package our products as accessories "in box" together with their branded product offerings
or sell them through their retail distribution channels. The Company's OEM products include carrying cases and other accessories
for medical monitoring and diagnostic kits and a variety of other portable electronic and non-electronic products (such as sporting
and recreational products, bar code scanners, smartphones, GPS location devices, tablets and firearms).
As a result of the expansion of the design
development capabilities through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IPS and Kablooe, the Company is now able to introduce proprietary
products to the market from concepts brought to it from a number of different sources, both inside and outside the Company.
By virtue of our strategic collaboration
and distribution agreements, we have secured a portfolio of smart enabled products which we have begun distributing to retail outlets
in the United States. The rollout of these products has been delayed by COVID-19. As a result of this collaboration and other product
initiatives, we invested in and began to build out a retail distribution network responsible for getting products into big box
retailers for retail consumption. This build out is a continuation of our strategy to be a one-stop shop for product development,
manufacture and distribution and represents a significant achievement in completing the strategic process of taking a product from
concept to the consumer.
Through the manufacturer representative
agreements we currently have in place, we expect to sell products to retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Costco,
Amazon, CVS, Walgreens, Staples, Office Depot and many others. The manufacturer representative model allows us to engage and support
a large sales team and cover a larger territory with a variable cost model as these representatives work on commission only.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Common Stock involves
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties and all other information contained in this reoffer
prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties concerning our business and an investment in our Common Stock discussed under
"Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, which risk
factors are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or
that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition. If any of the risk factors
occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such
case, the value and marketability of the Common Stock could decline.

(1)
Applicable percentages are based on 9,886,351 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February
22, 2021, adjusted as required by rules of the Commission. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the Commission
and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock underlying options currently
exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities
but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to
this table, we believe that each of the shareholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares of Common Stock indicated as beneficially owned by them. Other than Common Stock, the table includes only vested options,
or options will vest and become exercisable within 60 days.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Common Stock covered by this
reoffer prospectus are being registered for the account of the Selling Shareholders.
The shares of Common Stock offered may
be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Shareholder in one or more transactions on The Nasdaq Capital
Market or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions,
or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may sell shares through
one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form
of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation
as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.
In connection with their sales, a Selling
Shareholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act.
We are bearing all costs relating to the
registration of the shares of Common Stock to be reoffered and resold pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. Any commissions or other
fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Shareholders or other
party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Shareholders in compliance with all applicable state
and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act.
Any shares covered by this reoffer prospectus
that qualify for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this reoffer prospectus.
There is no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell all or a portion of the Common Stock offered hereby.
The Selling Shareholders may agree to indemnify
any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection
with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act.
The Selling Shareholders will be subject
to the reoffer prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, unless exempted therefrom.

Not applicable.
ITEM 5.    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND

None.
ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND
OFFICERS.
Under
the New York Business Corporation Law ("BCL"), a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers made, or threatened
to be made, a party to any action or proceeding, except for stockholder derivative suits, if such director of officer acted in
good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation or enterprise,
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. In the case of stockholder derivative suits, the corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he
or she acted in good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonable believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation
or enterprise, not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i)
a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which action was
brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount
and expenses as the court deems proper.
II-
1
Any
person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding will be entitled
to indemnification. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, unless ordered by a court pursuant to the BCL, any indemnification
under the BCL pursuant to the above paragraph may be made only if authorized in the specific case and after a finding that the
director or officer met the requisite standard of conduct by (i) the disinterested directors if a quorum is available, (ii) the
board upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel or (iii) the shareholders.
The
indemnification described above under the BCL is not exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer may
be entitled, whether contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or when authorized by (i) such certificate of incorporation
or by-laws, (ii) a resolution of shareholders, (iii) a resolution of directors or (iv) an agreement providing for such indemnification,
provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial
profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled.
The
foregoing statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Sections 715, 717 and 721 through 725 of the BCL.
Article
V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides as follows:
"ARTICLE
V. INDEMNIFICATION. Section 501. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify any person
made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (and
whether or not (i) by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or (ii) by or in the right of any Other
Entity (as defined below) which such person served in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, to procure a judgment in
its favor), by reason of the fact that such person, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or served such Other Entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, against all judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and all expenses, including attorneys' and other experts' fees, costs and disbursements, actually
and reasonably incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, or actually and reasonably
incurred by such person (a) in making an application for payment of such expenses before any court or other governmental body,
or (b) in otherwise seeking to enforce the provisions of this Section 501, or (c) in securing or enforcing such person's
rights under any policy of director or officer liability insurance provided by the Corporation, if such person acted in good faith,
for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of services for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea
of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith, for
a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any Other Entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation or that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
However,
(i) no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such
person establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and
were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage
to which he or she was not legally entitled; (ii) no indemnification may be made if there has been a settlement approved by the
court and the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the
court in approving the settlement; and (iii) in the event of a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor, no indemnification may be made if it is settled or otherwise disposed of or such person shall have been finally adjudged
liable to the Corporation, unless (and only to the extent that) the court in which the action was brought, or if no action was
brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems
proper.
Any
expense described in the first paragraph of this Section 501 that is incurred by any person entitled to indemnification under this
Section 501 shall be paid or reimbursed to such person by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of any related action
or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount to the Corporation to the extent,
if any, that such person (i) is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or (ii) receives reimbursement for such
expenses under a policy of insurance paid for by the Corporation. Such advances shall be paid by the Corporation to such person
within twenty days following delivery of a written request therefor by such person to the Corporation. No payment made by the Corporation
pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed or construed to relieve the issuer of any insurance policy of any obligation or liability
which, but for such payment, such insurer would have to the Corporation or to any director or officer of the Corporation or other
individual to whom or on whose behalf such payment is made by the Corporation.
II-
2
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Section 501: (i) shall continue as to the person entitled to indemnification
hereunder even though he or she may have ceased to serve in the capacity that entitles him or her to indemnification at the time
of the action or proceeding and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
A
person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character
described in this Section 501 shall be entitled to (i.e., has a legally binding right against the Corporation to) the indemnification
authorized by this Section 501. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any indemnification provided for in this
Section 501 (unless ordered by a court under Section 724 of the Business Corporation Law), shall be made by the Corporation only
if authorized in the specific case:
(1) By the board
of directors acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding for which indemnification
is sought, upon a finding that the person seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in the first two paragraphs
of this Section 501, or,
(2) If a quorum
under the immediately preceding subparagraph is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs:
(A) by
the board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said first two paragraphs has been met by such person, or
(B) by
the shareholders upon a finding that the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said first two paragraphs.
Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, no amendment or repeal of this Section 501, or any other corporate action or agreement which prohibits
or otherwise limits the right of any person to indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of reasonable expenses hereunder,
shall be effective as to any person until the 60th day following notice to such person of such action, and no such amendment or
repeal or other corporate action or agreement shall deprive any person of any right hereunder arising out of any alleged or actual
act or omission occurring prior to such 60th day.
The Corporation
is hereby authorized, but shall not be required, to enter into agreements with any of its directors, officers or employees providing
for rights to indemnification and advancement and reimbursement of reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, to
the extent permitted by law, but the Corporation's failure to do so shall not in any manner affect or limit the rights provided
for by this Section 501 or otherwise.
For
purposes of this Section 501, the term "the Corporation" shall include any legal successor to the Corporation, including
any corporation which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation in one or more transactions, and the term
"Other Entity" shall mean a corporation (other than the Corporation) of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. For purposes of this Section 501, the Corporation
shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his or her
duties to the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the
plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant
to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to any employee benefit plan
in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation."
In
addition the Registrant maintains Directors and Officers Liability insurance. We have also entered into Indemnification Agreements
with our directors and officers which agreements are designed to indemnify them to the fullest extent permissible by law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
