KNOW LABS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Know Labs, Inc. (“the Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal periods presented have been included.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2024 and as amended on December 10, 2024. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year, or for any other fiscal period.
1. ORGANIZATION
Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has authorized
The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of our proprietary sensor technology utilizing radio and microwave spectroscopy. When paired with our machine learning platform, our technology is capable of uniquely identifying and measuring almost any material or analyte using electromagnetic energy to detect, record, identify, and measure the unique “signature” of said materials or analytes. The technology has potential uses in both medical diagnostic and industrial applications.
Our initial focus for the first application of our platform sensor technology has been a product to non-invasively monitor blood glucose levels. Our device would provide the user with real-time information on their blood glucose levels. We launched the Generation 2 working prototype device during the year ended September 30, 2024. This device embodies the sensor which has been used in internal clinical testing. The device will be refined over time and will require significant human clinical testing and FDA clearance prior to entering the market, an activity requiring significant capital. Meanwhile the Company has advanced its work on industrial applications., We have recently initiated formal activities to license our platform technology across all fields of use. This activity, the Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) program, was announced earlier this calendar year.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On June 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Goldeneye 1995 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Buyer”), whereby the Company has agreed to issue an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock to the Buyer in a private placement equal to the per share purchase price of $

In connection with the private placement discussed above, on July 28, 2025 the Company and the Buyer entered into a Promissory Note pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to loan the Company an aggregate amount of up to $
| · | an initial term loan in the principal amount of $ |
|
|
|
| · | additional term loans during the term from the Effective Date through the Maturity Date (as defined below), in the principal amount of up to $ |
| 7 |
| Table of Contents |
The Bridge Loan will be due and payable in full, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the earlier of (i) January 28, 2026 or (ii) demand by the Buyer. Additionally, the Bridge Loan will accrue interest on a daily basis at a rate equal to
In the event that the Company (i) fails to pay timely any of the principal or accrued interest due under the Bridge Note, (ii) files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing or (iii) an involuntary petition is filed against Borrower (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within 60 days under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company upon such Event of Default, at the option of the Buyer, the Bridge Loan may accelerate and all principal and unpaid accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable.
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock, through or to JonesTrading as its sales agent or manager.
The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276246) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2024, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated December 31, 2024 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may offer and sell up to a maximum of $
The proceeds of warrants currently outstanding, to the extent not exercised on a cashless basis, may generate potential proceeds. We cannot provide assurance that any of these warrants will be exercised.
Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. The Company is currently working on some capital fund raising transactions including the Securities Purchase Agreement described in Note 1. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Basis of Presentation – These consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Particle. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $
Property and Equipment – Equipment consists of machinery, leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally

| Table of Contents |
Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset).
Revenue Recognition – The Company determines revenue recognition from contracts with customers through the following steps:
| · | identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; |
|
|
|
| · | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| · | determination of the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| · | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| · | recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Research and Development Expenses – Research and development expenses consist of the cost of officers, employees, consultants and contractors who design, engineer and develop new products and processes as well as materials, supplies and facilities used in producing prototypes.
The Company’s current research and development efforts are primarily focused on improving its radio frequency spectroscopy technology; extending its capacity and developing new and unique applications for this technology. The Company believes that continued development of new and enhanced technologies is essential to its future success. The Company incurred expenses of $
Advertising – Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued expenses - related parties approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable are not readily available given the terms and conditions, including the conversion features, are complex.
The Company has a money market account which is considered a Level 1 asset. The balances as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were $

| Table of Contents |
Derivative Financial Instruments – Pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company then determines if an embedded derivative must be bifurcated and separately accounted for. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the consolidated balance sheet date.
The Company determined that the conversion features for purposes of bifurcation within its currently outstanding convertible notes payable were immaterial and there was no derivative liability to be recorded as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Stock Based Compensation – The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period under ASC 718. The Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.
Convertible Securities – Based upon ASC 815-15, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to convertible securities. The Company will evaluate its contracts based upon the earliest issuance date. In the event partial reclassification of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient shares authorized and unissued, shares will be allocated on the basis of issuance date, with the earliest issuance date receiving first allocation of shares. If a reclassification of an instrument were required, it would result in the instrument issued latest being reclassified first.
Net Loss per Share – Under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Deemed dividends to preferred shareholders increase the net loss available to common shareholders and impact the net loss per share calculation.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had
Comprehensive loss – Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from non-owner sources. There were no differences between net loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and comprehensive loss for those periods.
Dividend Policy – The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of its business. The Company’s future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

| Table of Contents |
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Based on the Company’s review of accounting standard updates recently issued, those standards not yet required to be adopted and proposed standards for the future, the Company does believe such items are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5. LEASES
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The incremental borrowing taking into consideration the Company’s credit quality and borrowing rate for similar assets is used in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense is recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected the package of transitional practical expedients, under which the Company (1) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the Company did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) the Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning it does not recognize right-of use assets or lease liabilities for those leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. In the event the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend a lease, the Company will include the extended terms.
The Company has entered into operating leases for office and development facilities which range from two to three years and include options to renew. The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease based upon the unique facts and circumstances at the inception of the lease. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use asses are recorded based upon the present value of the lease payments over the expected lease term. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 total operating lease liabilities were $

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are the Company’s CODM. The CODM monitors the expense components of the various products and services we offer, but operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporation-wide basis in comparison to a business plan which is developed each year. Accordingly, all operations are considered by management to be one operating segment and one reportable segment as contained in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to the consolidated financial statements. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as its required measure of segment profit/loss, as such measure is determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS
Overview
The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of our proprietary sensor technology utilizing radio and microwave spectroscopy. When paired with our proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, our technology is capable of uniquely identifying and measuring almost any material or analyte using electromagnetic energy to detect, record, identify, and measure the unique “signature” of said materials or analytes. It is based upon “first principles of physics.” The technology has potential uses in both medical diagnostic and industrial applications.
Our initial focus for the first application of our platform sensor technology has been a product to non-invasively monitor blood glucose levels. Our device would provide the user with real-time information on their blood glucose levels. We launched the Generation 2 working prototype device during the year ended September 30, 2024. This device embodies the sensor which has been used in internal clinical testing. The device will be refined over time and will require significant human clinical testing and FDA clearance prior to entering the market, an activity requiring significant capital. Meanwhile the Company has advanced its work on industrial applications, We have recently initiated formal activities to license our platform technology across all fields of use. This activity, the Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) program, was announced earlier this calendar year.
We believe an important competitive differentiator for our sensor technology to be its ability to not only identify a wide range of organic and inorganic materials and analytes, but to do so non-invasively, and in real-time.
We believe that our proprietary radio frequency and microwave dielectric spectroscopy platform has broad applicability outside of the medical diagnostic realm. We have identified and intend to implement new core workstreams to leverage our intellectual property portfolio of over 300 active patent assets, to generate revenues through patent licensing of opportunities developed in a “Skunkworks” program.
On January 21, 2025, we announced the launch of Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL). KTL is dedicated to licensing Know Labs’ robust intellectual property (IP) portfolio to corporate partners, academic institutions and research organizations, fostering innovation and accelerating the adoption of RFDS platform technology across a broad range of industries and the academic and scientific ecosystem. On February 6, 2025, we announced the fully operational KTL program with the licensing partner roadmap set forth in detail on our website.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On June 5, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Goldeneye 1995 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Buyer”), whereby we have agreed to issue an amount of shares of our common stock to the Buyer in a private placement equal to the per share purchase price of $0.335. The aggregate purchase price for the shares to be purchased by the Buyer at the closing of the private placement is an amount equal to: (i) 1,000 Bitcoin plus (ii) a cash amount of no less than $12 million and up to $15 million.
| 21 |
| Table of Contents |
The closing is subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by law, the waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (i) our stockholders shall have approved the Company Stockholder Matters, (ii) we shall have filed the amendment to our Charter, (ii) our current holders of shares of Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have converted all shares of Series C and D Preferred Stock into the Common Stock, (iii) the termination of certain Company contracts, (iv) the termination of certain liens of the Company, (v) the repayment of the Closing Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (vi) no law or order preventing the private placement and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (vii) the Common stock shall have been designated for quotation or listed on the New York Stock Exchange American LLC and shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market from trading on the Principal Market, (viii) the Company shall have obtained all governmental, regulatory or third party consents and approvals, if any, necessary for the sale of the Common Stock, (ix) we shall have amended certain employment agreements, (x) the consent and waiver of rights from Lind Global Fund II LP shall remain in full force and effect, (xi) the terms of the lease shall be amended in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and (xi) other customary closing conditions.
Corporate History and Structure
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. Since 2007, our company has been focused primarily on research and development of proprietary spectroscopic technologies spanning the electromagnetic spectrum.
Know Labs has one wholly owned subsidiary, Particle, Inc. incorporated on April 30, 2020. At this time there is no material activity in the Particle subsidiary while we focus our attention on our sensor technology and the recently announced Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) initiative.
Know Labs Sensor Technology
Our sensor technology embodies two key components: hardware and software. The key hardware component includes a sensor which both sends and receives a radio frequency signal. The data obtained by the receiving aspect of the sensor is analyzed by software. Today, the sensor portion of our hardware development remains subject to adjustment and refinement. The sensor is currently being used in our internal tests, and has been for the past year, gathering billions of data points to further refine our algorithms. It is the core component in our prototype device and will be a core component of future versions of our device for applications in other fields of use.
Technology Validation
We are focused on building strong external validation of our technology. This on-going initiative should provide additional evidence and support as we advance our technology. We continue to submit our work, when appropriate, to peer reviewed journals in an effort to set forth in detail how and why our technology works. We have announced several significant validating studies.
We have previously announced the results of an internal exploratory study comparing tests between our sensor technology and the leading continuous glucose monitors from Abbott Labs (Freestyle Libre®) and Dexcom (G6®) and (G7®). These results have provided evidence of a high degree of correlation between our technology and the current industry leaders and their continuous glucose monitors. Our patented technology is fundamentally differentiated from these industry leaders as our technology completely non-invasively monitors blood glucose levels. We also believe our technology successfully addresses the limiting qualities of non-invasive optical technologies whose diagnostic capacities may be inhibited by skin tones and other factors. A comprehensive list of our peer reviewed publications can be found on our website (www.knowlabs.co) by clicking on the R & D tab.
Product Strategy
Our emphasis remains on the application of our non-invasive platform technology to medical diagnostics with a first focus on blood glucose monitoring. While constrained by availability of capital we have worked on industrial applications, such as our recently announced work determining minute differences in pH levels, as they do have necessitate the expenses of human clinical testing. We are also focused on the recently announced Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) initiative and applications that have a more rapid path to the marketplace.
Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL)
On January 21, 2025, we announced Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL). KTL is dedicated to licensing Know Labs’ robust intellectual property (IP) portfolio to corporate partners, academic institutions and research organizations, fostering innovation and accelerating the adoption of RFDS platform technology across a broad range of industries and the academic and scientific ecosystem
| 22 |
| Table of Contents |
Sales and Marketing
While we continue with our internal development efforts and launch the KTL initiative we are continuing discussions with potential biopharma, medical device, and consumer electronics partners regarding joint development agreements. These agreements could be strategic collaborations that could help us accelerate development and commercial launch. Others could focus on development and clinical work to identify additional analytes or work to integrate our technology into and with that of a joint development partner.
Competition
Competition for Know Labs technology comes generally from other providers of RF sensor technology and from other sensor technologies including photoelectric, ultrasonic, inductive, capacitive, magnetic and many other technologies. We believe that we have a leadership position in RF sensor technology based upon its experience and robust patent portfolio and large body of trade secrets. Competition from other sensor technologies varies upon the field of use. There are many variables in the competitive sensor landscape.
The sensor industry is a dynamic and competitive market, driven by advancements in IoT, AI, automation, and increasing demand across various sectors like automotive, healthcare, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. Here’s an overview of the competitive landscape:

Research and Development
Our current research and development efforts are primarily focused on improving our radio frequency dielectric spectroscopy technology for the monitoring of blood glucose. As part of this effort, we continuously perform clinical testing of our devices, and we conduct on-going laboratory testing to ensure that application methods are compatible with the end-user and regulatory requirements, and that they can be implemented in a cost-effective manner. Over time, we plan to focus on extending the capacity of our sensor technology to identify new analytes and applications. Our current internal team along with outside consultants have considerable experience working with the application of our technologies. We engage third party experts as required to supplement our internal team. We incurred expenses of approximately $239,000 and $1,349,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, on development activities. We incurred expenses of approximately $1,459,000 and $5,011,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, on development activities.
The cornerstone of our foundational platform technology is our intellectual property portfolio. We have pursued an active intellectual property strategy which includes focus on patents where appropriate and a diligent protection of trade secrets. To date, we have been granted 80 patents. We currently have a number of patents pending and continue, on a regular basis, as invention occurs, the filing of new patents. We possess all rights, title and interest to all issued, pending and in process patents.
Our issued patents will expire at various times between 2027 and 2047. Pending patents, if and when issued, may have expiration dates that extend further in time. The duration of our trademark registrations varies from country to country. However, trademarks are generally valid and may be renewed indefinitely as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained.
The issued patents cover the fundamental aspects of our radio frequency spectroscopy technology and a number of unique applications. We have filed patents, which are pending, on the additional fundamental aspects of our technology and growing number of unique applications. We intend to continue, over time, as inventions occur to expand our patent portfolio.
Additionally, significant aspects of our technology are maintained as trade secrets which may not be disclosed through the patent filing process. We are diligent in maintaining and securing our trade secrets, in particular as they involve our intelligence and machine learning driven algorithms.
We also have an exclusive, perpetual and royalty free right to any patent(s) or other intellectual property which Phillip Bosua, our former CEO, someone working under direction of Mr. Bosua, or any successor or assignee develops, relating to Know Labs’ technology prior to January 23, 2028.
Related Patent Assets
Inherent in a platform technology is the ability to develop or license technology in diverse fields of use apart from our core focus. We plan to pursue the identification of a multitude of analytes in the human body that are important to diagnostics over time. We also work to identify opportunities for our intellectual property to be deployed in areas outside of human health and wellness.
We may, although we cannot guarantee that we will, create other such subsidiaries over time. Additionally, we may license our intellectual property to third parties so that they may pursue activities that are not a part of our core focus.
Employees
As of June 30, 2025, we had six full-time and part-time employees. Our senior management and other personnel are co-located in our Seattle, Washington offices and remote. We expanded our utilization of consulting firms and individual contractors to supplement our reduced workforce in an effort to reduce fixed expenses and extend operating resources.

NYSE American Stock Exchange
On September 27, 2024, we received a notification from the NYSE American stating that our company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. On October 27, 2024, we submitted a plan of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2026. On December 10, 2024, we received notice from the NYSE American that it had accepted our plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards and granted a plan period through March 27, 2026.
On January 29, 2025, NYSE American publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that the NYSE Regulation has suspended trading of, and determined to commence proceedings to delist, the Company’s common stock from NYSE American. NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide due to the low selling price of the Common Stock.
On February 18, 2025, FINRA announced a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-40 which became effective February 19, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split was effected for the primary purpose of meeting the per share price requirements for our Common Stock in order to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE American.
On February 28, 2025, the staff of NYSE Regulation withdrew its delisting determination and lifted the trading suspension of our common stock on the NYSE American. The NYSE Regulation staff determined that the Company's common stock was now trading above the threshold of low selling price as described in Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide. The Know Labs common stock resumed trading on the NYSE American on March 5, 2025, under the symbol "KNW” and CUSIP “499238202.”
Notwithstanding the lifting of the trading suspension, we continue to remain subject to its previously disclosed plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards, which was accepted by the NYSE American on December 10, 2024. As noted in its press release on December 11, 2024, Know Labs has been granted a target completion date of March 27, 2026, to implement its plan and regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide.
If we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2026, or if it does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE American may again initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. We intend to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listings standards by such date; however, there is no assurance that Know Labs will be able to accomplish this.

Segment Reporting
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are the Company’s CODM. The CODM monitors the expense components of the various products and services we offer, but operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporation-wide basis in comparison to a business plan which is developed each year. Accordingly, all operations are considered by management to be one operating segment and one reportable segment as contained in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to the consolidated financial statements. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as its required measure of segment profit/loss, as such measure is determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
As of June 30, 2025, we have cash and cash equivalents of $173,000 and a net working capital deficit of approximately $4,960,000. We anticipate that we will record losses from operations for the foreseeable future. We believe that we have enough available cash and flexibility with its operating expenses to operate with the Promissory Note until the expected closing of the private placement discussed in Note 1. As of June 30, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $151 million and net losses in the amount of $9,773,000, $16,582,000 and $15,289,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We believe that we have enough available cash and flexibility with its operating expenses to operate with the Promissory Note until the expected closing of the private placement discussed in Note 1.
On December 31, 2024, we entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock, through or to JonesTrading as its sales agent or manager. We issued 1,708,124 shares and received proceeds of $1,269,212 during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.
The proceeds of warrants currently outstanding, to the extent not exercised on a cashless basis, may generate potential proceeds. We cannot provide assurance that any of these warrants will be exercised.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies Involving Significant Estimates
The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company which involve significant estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition. We determine revenue recognition from contracts with customers through the following steps:
| · | identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; |
|
|
|
| · | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| · | determination of the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| · | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| · | recognition of the revenue when, or as our company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist of the cost of officers, employees, consultants and contractors who design, engineer and develop new products and processes as well as materials, supplies and facilities used in producing prototypes.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments. ASC820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of six levels:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
We have a money market account which is considered a Level 1 asset. The balance as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was $59,000 and $2,942,000, respectively. No other assets or liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring nature.
| 30 |
| Table of Contents |
Derivative Financial Instruments. Pursuant to ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, we evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. We then determine if embedded derivative must be bifurcated and separately accounted for. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Stock Based Compensation. We have share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost to employees is measured by us at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period under ASC 718. For options issued to employees, we recognize stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.
Convertible Securities. Based upon ASC 815-15, we have adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to convertible securities to determine if an instrument should be accounted for as equity or a liability. We will evaluate our contracts based upon the earliest issuance date.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments as of June 30, 2025.
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We do not use any financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
b) Inherent Limitations on Internal controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost.
c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not a party to any pending legal proceeding that is not ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. Our market risks are similar to those disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, and our other filings with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Subsequent to filing our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are additional and/or updated risks factors below that you should carefully consider as well as the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 30, 2024 and the risk factors contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any registration statements that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect to update these Risk Factors from time to time in the periodic and current reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the date of this Form 8-K.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Exhaustion of our authorized shares of Common Stock.
As of June 30, 2025, we had exhausted all of our authorized shares of Common Stock and are unable to issue any additional shares of Common Stock. The exhaustion of authorized shares presents significant risks, including but not limited to, affecting our ability to raise capital, meet contractual obligations under outstanding preferred stock and convertible debt agreements, maintain stock liquidity, avoid dilution concerns, comply with regulatory requirements, and execute strategic initiatives.
Until we are able to hold a meeting of stockholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles”), and increase our authorized common shares, we may be unable to raise additional capital through equity and debt offerings, thereby limiting our capacity to finance operations, new projects, acquisitions, expansion initiatives, or meet our current obligations under our outstanding preferred stock and convertible debt agreements.
| 32 |
| Table of Contents |
The exercise and conversion prices of securities subject to price adjustments, including certain warrants, outstanding convertible notes payable and our preferred stock may require further adjustment.
If in the future we sell our common stock at a price below $0.335 per share, the conversion price of (i) the outstanding shares of Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) promissory notes convertible into shares of our common stock; and (iii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock would adjust below $0.335 per share. The Company has the option to repay Lind in cash or common stock. Should we make our monthly payments in common stock, there may be a price adjustment.
We owe Clayton A. Struve, a significant stockholder, $1,071,000 under convertible promissory or OID notes under convertible promissory or OID notes. Mr. Struve also holds shares of Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The potential repricing adjustments that these convertible securities are entitled to may not be permitted without increasing our authorized common stock.
Ronald P. Erickson and J3E2A2Z, an entity affiliated controlled by Ronald P. Erickson holds shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. The potential repricing adjustments that these convertible securities are entitled to may not be permitted without increasing our authorized common stock.
We were previously in default of our convertible note with Lind Global Fund II, LP.
We were previously in default of that certain senior convertible note issued to Lind Global Fund II, LP as the result of having exhausted our authorized common stock and we may be subject to further default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the notes will become immediately due and payable and the Company must pay Lind an amount equal to 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of each note, in addition to any other remedies under the note or the other transaction documents. Events of default include, among others, the Company’s failure to make any note payment when due, a default in any indebtedness or adverse judgements in excess of $250,000, our failure to instruct its transfer agent to issue unlegended certificates, the Company’s shares of common stock no longer being public traded or listed on a national securities exchange, any stop order or trading suspension restricting the trading in our common stock, and our market capitalization is below $15 million for consecutive 10 days.
There is substantial doubt relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $151 million as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $173,000. We have concluded that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the June 30, 2025 financial statements. Now that we have exhausted our authorized shares of common stock, we will be unable to continue to seek to raise additional working capital through public equity, private equity or convertible debt financings. If we fail to raise additional working capital, or do so on commercially unfavorable terms, it would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Summary of Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
| · | We might not be able to continue as a going concern. We believe that we have enough available cash and flexibility with its operating expenses to operate with the Promissory Note until the expected closing of the private placement discussed in Note 1. |
|
|
|
| ·
| We are still in the early stages of commercialization, refining our technology. Our success depends on our ability to conclude development and market devices that are recognized as accurate, safe, and cost-effective as other options currently available in the market and cleared by FDA. |
|
|
|
| · | We are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, which could restrict the sales and marketing of our products and could cause us to incur significant costs. |
| 33 |
| Table of Contents |
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Public Warrants
| · | The market price of our common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment. |
|
|
|
| · | We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock or achieve the listing of the Public Warrants on the NYSE American. |
|
|
|
| · | We have exhausted all authorized common stock. Until we hold a meeting of Stockholders we have no authorized stock to issue which may result in default under certain outstanding convertible securities. |
|
|
|
| · | We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future. |
|
|
|
| · | Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common stock or the trading of outstanding common stock, could cause the market price of our securities to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings. |
|
|
|
| · | Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock. |
|
|
|
| · | We may be unable to achieve FDA clearance of our KnowU™ product and a change in control of our company may not occur prior to the expiration of the Public Warrants, in which case the Public Warrants will not become exercisable for shares of our common stock. |
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no sales of unregistered sales of equity securities.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
