Dear Valued Shareholders,
I am pleased to share exciting updates on One World Products' progress as we position ourselves at the forefront of sustainable innovation in the automotive industry. Our company is making significant strides in utilizing industrial hemp to revolutionize automotive plastic applications, reinforcing our commitment to creating environmentally friendly and high-performance solutions for the global marketplace.
Expanding Our Presence in Automotive Plastic Applications
Our strategic focus on automotive applications is gaining momentum, and we are proud to be leading the charge in sustainable material innovations. By leveraging the unique benefits of industrial hemp, we are developing high-quality, lightweight, and durable solutions that directly address the automotive industry's increasing demand for eco-friendly materials.

North America alone produced over 16 million vehicles in 2023, with each vehicle containing an average of 411 pounds of plastic components. This results in an annual total market opportunity of approximately 6.64 billion pounds of plastic, highlighting the immense growth potential available to One World Products as we further develop and commercialize our hemp-based materials.
Strategic Partnerships Driving Growth
We are thrilled to strengthen our partnerships with industry leaders Stellantis, West Michigan Compounding, and Flex-N-Gate. These collaborations are pivotal in accelerating the adoption of hemp-based materials across automotive manufacturing and supply chains. Through these alliances, we are integrating sustainable solutions that will drive innovation and create long-term value for our shareholders, customers, and stakeholders.
Our First Purchase Order with Flex-N-Gate
A major milestone for One World Products is our first purchase order with Flex-N-Gate, a testament to the growing demand for our industrial hemp applications. This order marks a significant step in validating the commercial viability of our materials and reinforces the trust that leading automotive manufacturers have in our ability to deliver sustainable, high-performance solutions. This achievement lays the foundation for future growth as we expand our product offerings and increase market penetration.
A New Name, A Bold Future
To better reflect our company's evolving focus and strategic direction, One World Products will soon undergo a name change. This transition is designed to align our brand identity with our mission and market focus, particularly in the automotive sector. We believe this new identity will more effectively communicate our vision to investors, partners, and the broader industry.
The momentum we are experiencing today is just the beginning. With our innovative product pipeline, strong industry partnerships, and commitment to sustainability, we are positioning ourselves as a leader in the next generation of automotive materials.

32.5 Million Engines Later, Honda's Ohio Plant Turns 40
Honda is celebrating 40 years of engine production at its Anna Engine Plant in Ohio. What started as a modest motorcycle engine facility in the mid-80s has grown into the company's largest engine plant in the world. As Honda shifts toward hybrid and electric power, shown by models like the new hybrid Prelude, the Anna plant is evolving to keep pace with the future of mobility. Since opening its doors in 1985, the Anna Engine Plant has built over 32.5 million engines. That includes everything from basic four-cylinders for the Civic to high-output V6s found in Acura performance cars and SUVs. Back then, it was a 200,000 square-foot facility with fewer than 100 workers. Today, it covers 2.8 million square feet and supports nearly 3,000 employees. The plant currently produces a wide range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, including turbocharged and hybrid variants. It also makes essential components like cylinder heads, camshafts, crankshafts, and the precision pulleys used in Honda's CVTs. Engines from Anna have powered some of Honda's most iconic vehicles. The plant builds the 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo used in the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Acura Integra, as well as the 315-hp 2.0-liter turbo found in the Civic Type R and Integra Type S. It even produced the 500-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that lived in the second-generation Acura NSX supercar. But Anna's output isn't all about performance. It's also behind the hybrid engines that help fuel-efficient models like the Accord and CR-V deliver impressive fuel economy. It's clear as day that the Anna Engine Plant has played a huge role in shaping Honda and Acura's lineup across North America. While gas and hybrid engines are still a major focus, Anna is already preparing for Honda's next chapter. The plant has started producing aluminum battery cases for upcoming EVs, using cutting-edge processes like megacasting, Minimum Quantity Lubrication machining, and friction stir welding. These battery cases will be shipped to the Marysville Auto Plant, where they'll be paired with battery modules to power the next generation of Honda and Acura electric vehicles, including the Honda Prologue. Full EV production is set to begin in Ohio in 2026. With four decades of experience and a clear role in Honda's future, the Anna Engine Plant continues to be a key part of the company's evolution.

Raising a family, doing business in California not easy, In-N-Out boss says
There's something about In-N-Out that strikes a fierce if not irrational sense of pride among many Angelenos and Southern Californians. There are several fan clubs and awards, including Yelp's No. 1 Fast Food chain honor earlier this year and Market Force's 2022 'best burger experience.' For some reason, there isn't the same fervor for Southern California's own McDonald's, one of the top 10 brands in the world, or for Santa Barbara's The Habit, which beat In-N-Out in July 2024 for USA Today's best fast food burger accolade. Times readers even lambasted former food columnist Lucas Kwan Peterson when he placed L.A.'s Fatburger atop his fast food burger rankings in 2022. Maybe that's what made the news that Lynsi Snyder, billionaire owner and chief executive of the iconic Baldwin Park brand, was leaving the Golden State last week all the more jarring. Colleague Piper Heath broke down the announcement Monday, while columnist Lorraine Ali opined on what the decision meant. Snyder made an appearance on the podcast 'Relatable' on July 18, hosted by conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey. During the interview, Snyder uttered a statement that created shockwaves locally. 'There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,' she said as part of her announcement that her business was continuing its eastward expansion. The move to Tennessee represents a seismic shift for the leader of the brand. Currently operating more than 400 locations across eight states — California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Texas and Idaho — In-N-Out has long thrived on being the burger chain you couldn't find everywhere. Snyder's comments set off a disinformation blitz, launching the Double-Double into the middle of a red-state/blue-state culture war where, clearly, nothing is sacred, Ali wrote. Anti-Cali factions incorrectly crowed about yet another business fleeing the West Coast. More proof that Gov. Gavin Newsom's 'failing' state sucks! It appeared that In-N-Out was following Tesla and Charles Schwab, companies that cited regulatory challenges and operational costs among their reasons for relocating. Chevron also fled. Many in SoCal felt abandoned and disrespected. They, after all, propped up the chain for 76 years, only to be told by its owner that the place that made her family's business — their home — is no longer to her liking. On X, Oracle Park Seagull posted ''Not easy for In N Out to do business in California…' Said the person who became a billionaire doing business almost exclusively in California. So much so, it was a point of pride for the chain. Gotcha.' During the podcast, Snyder discussed elements of California policy that make the state hard to operate in, referencing pandemic-era restrictions as particularly challenging. She told Stuckey 'the bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California.' The relocation of both corporate operations and the CEO signals a fundamental change in the company's center of gravity. 'It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there, and being able to have the family and other people's families out there,' Snyder said, though she maintains limits on expansion. Newsom even chimed in, starting his X post with, 'For those interested in the facts, rather than fiction, In-N-Out is expanding East — creating a second HQ in Tennessee.' Snyder responded Monday in an Instagram post: 'Where I raise my family has nothing to do with my love and appreciation for our customers in California.' Immigration and ICE raids Trump Administration policy, actions and pushback Crime, courts and policing Health and medicine Get wrapped up in tantalizing stories about dating, relationships and marriage.
