Item 8.01. Other Events.
FutureWorld Corp (FWDG), a Cannabis technology incubator
& accelerator, provides the following year in review to its shareholders.
Dear Shareholders;
Cannabis industry is the fastest-growing industry in
the United States and had its biggest year ever which could grow by another eight states in 2016. The cannabis ballot initiatives
could open the door to legalization in more states including Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan and Nevada in
2016. This rapid growth of the industry is a boom for ancillary products providers such as HempTech, CB Scientific, Bioceutical
Sciences, NutraCann Labs and incubators such as FutureWorld Corp (FWDG). A majority of Americans continue to support full legalization,
nationally, and by 2016, it's entirely possible that marijuana could be a wedge issue in the presidential election.
On the industrial Hemp side, with the 2014 Agricultural
Act (known as the Farm Bill) making year 2014 notable and celebrated, 2015 proved to be a year of record-setting, transformative
strides within the industrial hemp industry. Laws governing industrial hemp continued to evolve in more and more states, making
Industrial Hemp one of most lucrative opportunities to unfold over the course of the year and beyond.
In short, the Cannabis industry will grow from $1.5
billion in 2014 to an estimated $35 billion in 2020.
Who We Are
FutureWorld focuses on the identification, acquisition,
development, and commercialization of cannabis related products and services. As a Cannabis Technology Incubator and Accelerator,
FutureWorld will incubate and fund leading technologies, products, and services for Cannabis industry (including Industrial Hemp)
combining resources to strengthen the company and the industry.
FutureWorld follows a well-tested business incubation
model; the seed fund model. The seed fund model thesis is based on a combination of “high-quality filter” and “broad
portfolio” approaches. The high-quality filter attempts to ensure that the very best minds, teams and ideas get into FWDG.
The broad portfolio approach, statistically,
discovers a few breakaway companies in order to provide
the big returns to investors. So far the Company has funded 6 companies in 2015 and expects to fund more in 2016.
How We Make Money
We make money by exiting our incubated companies through
a sale, reverse merger, merger or an IPO. In any case, some or all of the proceeds, whether in stock or cash, will be returned
to the shareholders as dividend. For FutureWorld, our main revenue is derived from cash and marketable securities through our exits.
In most cases we own from 19% to 100% of the companies
being incubated by FWDG. According GAAP, we would need to consolidate the financials of all the holdings until they are sold or
spun off. Products or services revenue generation by our companies is not our business model, as an incubator, but only a successful
exit will define our revenue stream.
Our Companies, Past and Future Results
Four areas within the cannabis industry sector with
the most accelerated growth for 2016 and beyond includes;
Medicine – Accessories – Testing and Grow
Delivery. We have and will use this guide to incubate exciting companies for better ROI. All of our companies fall within 3 of
these 4 important areas;

has grown 60% from 2008-2012 with a total U.S. sales of more than $12.5 billion in 2012. According to "Energy Drinks &
Shots Market Trends in the U.S.", sales of energy drinks will grow to a value of $21.5 billion by 2017, driven by expansion
in retail distribution, and strong potential in new product development. Packaged Facts also estimates that convenience stores

Audit Concerns & OTCMarkets Yield Sign
FutureWorld is working with a third party to clear
up the yield sign on otcmarkets. The yield sign was put in place by otcmarkets due to lack of audited financials which we believe
is misunderstanding of the company’s financial obligations as an obligatory 1933 act company. We will resolve the misunderstanding
shortly.
Share Price Decline
2015 has been the worst year for most cannabis stocks
with an average decline of 60% to 90%, although the industry itself grow exponentially. FutureWorld was not immune to that decline
either. For us, our stock price decline was caused not by our business activities but by the industry trends and our debt obligations.
Although we cannot effect the industry trends, we are working hard in relieving our debts and use other methods in raising funds.
As of this release, we have cut down most of our debts and have initiated equity funding plan through private placements to continue
our growth and investments without dilutive funding obligations. In 2016, we should have sufficient marketable securities to become
self-sufficient going forward.
Unlike 2015, 2016 will be a great year for the industry
due to many factors including corporate and industry maturity and nationwide acceptance of the cannabis industry. FutureWorld will
be part of this lifting tides which will lift up companies with the best business models. As an only public cannabis incubator,
our business model will ensure sustainability and profitability for 2016 and beyond.
2016 and Beyond
We have four main objectives in 2016; prove our business
model, increase our share price, return more value to our shareholders and invest better in exciting sectors of this growing industry
including the ever emergent Hemp market.
