Forward Water Technologies Corp Announces Patent Allowance for New Forward Osmosis Technology Forward Water Technologies Corp. had been informed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office that its patent application for a new forward osmosis technology useful in the food and beverage sector has been allowed and issuance of the patent is anticipated in the next 3-4 weeks. Forward osmosis has long been known to enable the cold concentration of food and beverage products, which can include dairy, juices, caffeinated products and alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. The resultant concentrates are known to be superior to those made using thermal evaporation and maintain the high quality of the original liquids. The challenge has been finding pathways to ensure this is an economically viable process. Forward Water in conjunction with Queen's University in Kingston Ontario Canada, has developed a new proprietary pathway to enable a cost-effective forward osmosis method to create these enhanced concentrates that could exceed the level of concentration previously achieved by others.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$2.0m free cash flow). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (CA$43k revenue, or US$32k). Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$6.47m market cap, or US$4.77m).
