Company Announcements

TROY, MI - April 14, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - One World Products, Inc. (OTCQB: OWPC) (www.oneworldproducts.com), doing business as Isiah Enterprises (“Isiah Enterprises” or the “Company”), today provided an operational update highlighting continued progress in scaling its proprietary EcoBlend™ materials platform, advancing engagement on potential OEM program conversions, and strengthening its manufacturing and financial infrastructure.

Business Overview

Isiah Enterprises is a materials innovation and manufacturing company focused on developing and commercializing performance-driven, sustainable composite materials for automotive and industrial applications.

Through its EcoBlend™ platform, the Company produces engineered thermoplastic compounds, using postindustrial recycled materials, designed to meet OEM performance requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing manufacturing systems.

EcoBlend™ Platform

The Company’s EcoBlend™ material family includes:

• EcoBlend 1130 (PC/ABS) - targeted for structural and interior applications
• EcoBlend 1140 (TPO) - designed for interior trim components
• EcoBlend 1150 (PP) - developed for interior and under hood components

Each material is engineered as a drop-in replacement for traditional virgin resins, enabling adoption without new tooling or redesign.

Strategic Positioning

Isiah Enterprises is among a limited number of publicly traded, minority-controlled companies positioned within the advanced materials and automotive supply chain.

Operational Momentum and Program Conversion

The Company is actively engaged with Tier 1 suppliers and OEM partners to identify and convert existing component applications utilizing EcoBlend materials.

Because these are resin conversions on existing applications, commercialization is driven by execution - material supply, trials, and production scaling - rather than new product development or tooling changes.

Due to confidentiality agreements, the Company is not disclosing certain customer and partner relationships at this time.

Manufacturing Platform - Eco Bio Plastics

The Company operates its manufacturing platform through Eco Bio Plastics, its Midland, Michigan facility.

Eco Bio Plastics provides integrated material processing capabilities, including:

• Micronizing
• Extrusion
• Pelletizing

The facility processes a range of feedstocks, including:

• Rubber
• Paper and cellulose-based materials
• Other recycled inputs

This vertically integrated approach allows the Company to control material development, compounding, and production while supporting scalable output aligned with customer demand.

Scalable Production Model

The Company utilizes a flexible, shift-based operating model, enabling:

• Efficient capacity expansion without significant fixed cost increases
• Alignment of production with OEM program timelines
• Operational control across throughput and quality

Capital Strategy - Supporting Growth and Throughput

The Company is aligning its capital structure to support production ramp, inventory build, and receivables growth associated with potential OEM program conversions.

Isiah Enterprises is currently engaged in discussions with financial institutions regarding a potential asset-based credit facility designed to:

• Provide working capital to support scaled production
• Fund inventory and receivables tied to OEM programs
• Enable disciplined expansion of manufacturing capacity 

This capital strategy is intended to support growth while maintaining operational and financial flexibility during the Company’s transition into higher-volume production.

The Company believes that successful execution of its near-term operational milestones related to production ramp and potential OEM program conversion could serve as positive factors for continued execution and growth.

Audit and Financial Reporting Update

The Company’s current independent audit firm is actively completing its audit procedures as part of the Company’s ongoing regulatory reporting process.

Financial and Capital Strategy

Isiah Enterprises continues to align its operational growth with a disciplined capital strategy focused on:

• Expanding working capital to support production ramp and program conversion
• Leveraging asset-backed financing tied to inventory, equipment, and receivables
• Maintaining a scalable cost structure that supports margin expansion as volume increases

Management Commentary

“Execution is our focus - advancing from validation toward part-level conversion on active programs,” said Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of the Company. Mr. Thomas continued, “Our EcoBlend platform, combined with our in-house manufacturing capabilities, positions us to scale efficiently and meet the evolving needs of OEM and industrial customers.”

Outlook

The Company expects to:

• Advance EcoBlend trial programs and potential conversion activity through 2026
• Expand production capacity aligned with customer demand
• Complete its current audit and continue strengthening its operational and financial foundation
