Star Metro - Forward Water Technologies Announces September 30, 2024 Financial Results

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Financial Highlights

• On September 30, 2024, FWTC announced the successful closing of the business combination with Fraser Mackenzie Accelerator Corp. ("FMAC") and that the combined company will continue to conduct the business operated by FWTC. Pursuant to the transaction a wholly-owned subsidiary of FWTC amalgamated with FMAC and all of the issued and outstanding common shares of FMAC ("FMAC Shares") were exchanged for common shares of FWTC (post its 10 for 1 consolidation) at an exchange ratio of 0.95 FWTC shares for each FMAC Share (the "Exchange Ratio"). In addition, each outstanding option and warrant to purchase a FMAC Share was adjusted to entitle the holders thereof to purchase FWTC shares based on the Exchange Ratio. Upon completion of the transaction, the amalgamated corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of FWTC.

• As the former shareholders of FMAC control FWTC following the transaction, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition where FMAC is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 represent the continuance of FMAC and reflect the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FWTC at fair value. The results of operations of FWTC have not been included in the consolidated statements of loss as the transaction occurred on September 30, 2024. If the Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2024, management estimates that the consolidated revenue and net loss would have been $157,119 and $1,839,835 respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

C. Howie Honeyman, Forward Water's CEO and President said, "The completion of the transaction with FMAC enables FWTC to accelerate its commercial efforts and lean into the developing sectors, especially as related to lithium brine processing. Further, the incoming board members provides FWTC with additional capital market expertise and strong financial leadership for the future."
