ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BACKGROUND AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Know Labs, Inc., formerly Visualant, Incorporated, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. Since 2007, we have been focused primarily on research and development of proprietary technologies which can be used to authenticate and diagnose a wide variety of organic and non-organic substances and materials. Our Common Stock trades on the OTCQB Exchange under the symbol “KNWN.”

BUSINESS

We are focused on the development, marketing and sales of a proprietary technologies which are capable of uniquely authenticating or diagnosing almost any substance or material using electromagnetic energy to create, record and detect the unique “signature” of the substance. We call these our “ChromaID™” and “Bio-RFID™” technologies.

Overview

Historically, the Company focused on the development of our proprietary ChromaID technology. Using light from low-cost LEDs (light emitting diodes) we map the color of substances, fluids and materials and with our proprietary processes we can authenticate, identify and diagnose based upon the color that is present. The color is both visible to us as humans but also outside of the humanly visible color spectrum in the near infra-red and near ultra-violet and beyond. Our ChromaID scanner sees what we like to call “Nature’s Color Fingerprint.” Everything in nature has a unique color identifier and with ChromaID we can see it, and identify, authenticate and diagnose based upon the color that is present. Our ChromaID scanner is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance or liquid using light to create, record and detect its unique color signature. We will continue to develop and enhance our ChromaID technology and extend its capacity. More recently, we have focused upon extensions and new inventions that are derived from and extend beyond our ChromaID technology. We call this technology Bio-RFID. The rapid advances made with our Bio-RFID technology in our laboratory have caused us to move quickly in to the commercialization phase of our Company as we work to create revenue generating products for the marketplace. We will also, as resources permit, pursue licensing opportunities with third parties who have ready applications for our technologies.

In 2010, we acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to our business. TransTech is a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification and authentication. TransTech has historically provided substantially all of the Company’s revenues. The financial results from our TransTech subsidiary have been diminishing as vendors of their products increasingly move to the Internet and direct sales to their customers. While it does provide our current revenues it is not central to our current focus as a Company. Moreover, we have written down any goodwill associated with its historic acquisition. We continue to closely monitor this subsidiary.

The Know Labs Technology

We have internally and under contract with third parties developed proprietary platform technologies to uniquely authenticate or diagnose almost any material and substance. Our technology utilizes electromagnetic energy at various points along the electromagnetic spectrum to perform analytics which allow the user to identify, authenticate and diagnose depending upon the application and the unique field of use. The Company’s proprietary platform technologies are called ChromaID and Bio-RFID.

The ChromaID patented technology utilizes light at the photon (elementary particle of light) level through a series of emitters and detectors to generate a unique signature or “fingerprint” from a scan of almost any solid, liquid or gaseous material. This signature of reflected or transmitted light is digitized, creating a unique ChromaID signature. Each ChromaID signature is comprised of from hundreds to thousands of specific data points.

The ChromaID technology looks beyond visible light frequencies to areas of near infra-red and ultraviolet light and beyond that are outside the humanly visible light spectrum. The data obtained allows us to create a very specific and unique ChromaID signature of the substance for a myriad of authentication, verification and diagnostic applications.

Traditional light-based identification technology, called spectrophotometry, has relied upon a complex system of prisms, mirrors and visible light. Spectrophotometers typically have a higher cost and utilize a form factor (shape and size) more suited to a laboratory setting and require trained laboratory personnel to interpret the information. The ChromaID technology uses lower cost LEDs and photodiodes and specific electromagnetic frequencies resulting in a more accurate, portable and easy-to-use solution for a wide variety of applications. The ChromaID technology not only has significant cost advantages as compared to spectrophotometry, it is also completely flexible is size, shape and configuration. The ChromaID scan head can range in size from endoscopic to a scale that could be the size of a large ceiling-mounted florescent light fixture.

In normal operation, a ChromaID master or reference scan is generated and stored in a database. We call this the ChromaID Reference Library. The scan head can then scan similar materials to identify, authenticate or diagnose them by comparing the new ChromaID digital signature scan to that of the original or reference ChromaID signature or scan result. Over time, we believe the ChromaID Reference Libraries can become a significant asset of the Company, providing valuable information in numerous fields of use. The Reference Libraries for Bio-RFID will have a similar promise regarding their utility and value.

The Company’s latest technology platform is called Bio-RFID. Working in our lab over the past year, we have developed extensions and new inventions derived in part from our ChromaID technology which we refer to as Bio-RFID technology. While we are in the early stages of the development of this technology, we have recently announced that we have successfully been able to non-invasively ascertain blood glucose levels. We are building the internal and external development team necessary to commercialize this newly discovered technology as well as make additional patent filings covering the intellectual property created with these new inventions. The first applications of our Bio-RFID technology will be in a product we call the UBAND™. The first UBAND product will be marketed as a real time calorie counter. It is a wearable product which will be worn on the wrist and communicate with a smart phone device via Bluetooth connectivity. It will provide the user with real time information on their caloric consumption from carbohydrates.

We have recently announced the results of laboratory-based comparison testing between our Bio-RFID technology and the leading continuous glucose monitors from Abbott Labs (Freestyle Libre®) and DexCom (G5®). These results provide evidence of a high degree of correlation between our Bio-RFID based technology and the current industry leaders. Our technology is fundamentally differentiated from these industry leaders as it is completely non-invasive.

We expect to begin the process of obtaining US Food and Drug Administration approval of our non-invasive continuous blood glucose monitoring device during calendar year 2019. We are unable to estimate the time necessary for such approval nor the likelihood of success in that endeavor.

ChromaID and Bio-RFID: Foundational Platform Technologies

Our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technologies provide a platform upon which a myriad of applications can be developed. As platform technologies, they are analogous to a smartphone, upon which an enormous number of previously unforeseen applications have been developed. ChromaID and Bio-RFID technologies are “enabling” technologies that bring the science of electromagnetic energy to low-cost, real-world commercialization opportunities across multiple industries. The technologies are foundational and, as such, the basis upon which the Company believes a significant business can be built.

As with other foundational technologies, a single application may reach across multiple industries. The ChromaID technology can, for example effectively differentiate and identify different brands of clear vodkas that appear identical to the human eye. By extension, this same technology can identify pure water from water with contaminants present. It can provide real time detection of liquid medicines such as morphine that have been adulterated or compromised. It can detect if jet fuel has water contamination present. It could determine when it is time to change oil in a deep fat fryer. These are but a few of the potential applications of the ChromaID technology based upon extensions of its ability to identify different clear liquids.

Similarly, the Bio-RFID technology can non-invasively identity the presence and quantity of glucose in the human body. By extension, there may be other molecular structures which this same technology can identity in the human body which, over time, the Company will focus upon. They may include the monitoring of drug usage or the presence of illicit drugs. They may also involve identifying hormones and various markers of disease.

The cornerstone of a company with a foundational platform technology is its intellectual property. We have pursued an active intellectual property strategy and have been granted 12 patents. We currently have 20 patents pending. We possess all right, title and interest to the issued patents. Ten of the pending patents are licensed exclusively to us in perpetuity by our strategic partner, Allied Inventors.

Our Patents and Intellectual Property.

We believe that our 12 patents, 20 patent applications, three registered trademarks, and our trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are important assets. Our issued patents will expire at various times between 2027 and 2033. 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 the Know Labs ChromaID technology and a growing number of unique applications ranging, to date, from invisible bar codes to tissue and liquid analysis. We have filed patents on Bio-RFID technology and will continue to expand the Company’s patent portfolio over time through internal development efforts as well as through licensing opportunities with third parties.

Additionally, significant aspects of our technology are trade secrets which may not be disclosed through the patent filing process. We intend to be diligent in maintaining our trade secrets.

Joint Development Agreements and Product Strategy

We are currently undertaking internal development work on potential products for the consumer marketplace. This development work was being performed through our Consulting Agreement with Blaze Clinical, and Phillip A. Bosua, who served as our Chief Product Officer. In his current role as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bosua continues to lead these efforts. As these products take form over the coming months, we will make appropriate product announcements.

We also will continue to engage with partners through licensing our technology in various fields of use, entering in to joint venture agreements to develop specific applications of our technology, and in certain specific instances develop our own products for the marketplace.

We have deployed our ChromaID development kit to a number of potential joint venture partners and customers around the world. There are strong indications of interest in deploying our technology in a wide variety of applications involving identification, authentication and diagnostics. Currently we are focusing our current efforts on productizing our Bio-RFID technology as we move it out of the research laboratory and in to the marketplace.

Research and Development

Our current research and development efforts are primarily focused improving our Bio-RFID technology, extending its capacity and developing new and unique applications for the technology. As part of this effort, 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. We are also actively involved in identifying new applications. Our current internal team along with outside consultants have considerable experience working with the application of our technologies and their application. We engage third party experts as required to supplement our internal team. We believe that continued development of new and enhanced technologies is essential to our future success. We incurred expenses of $570,514 and $79,405 for the year ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, on development activities. On July 6, 2017, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Phillip A. Bosua, our Chief Product Officer to lead our development efforts. He has continued in that role with expanded responsibilities upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on April 19, 2018.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

We have the following recent developments:

Merger with RAAI Lighting, Inc.

On April 10, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with 500 Union Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and RAAI Lighting, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we have acquired all the outstanding shares of RAAI’s capital stock through a merger of Merger Sub with and into RAAI (the “Merger”), with RAAI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of RAAI common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Merger (1,000 shares) were cancelled and we issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, we issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to Phillip A. Bosua, formerly the sole stockholder of RAAI. The consideration for the Merger was determined through arms-length bargaining by the Company and RAAI. The Merger was structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company received certain intellectual property, related to RAAI.

Appointment of Director

On April 10, 2018, the Board increased the size of the Board from three to four members and Phillip A. Bosua was appointed as a member of the Board. Mr. Bosua’s term of office expire at the next annual meeting of our stockholders.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are certain inherent risks which will have an effect on the Company’s development in the future and the most significant risks and uncertainties known and identified by our management are described below.

Risks Relating to the Company Generally

We need additional financing to support our technology development and ongoing operations, pay our debts and maintain ownership of our intellectual properties.

We are currently operating at a loss. We believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations through March 31, 2019. We need additional financing to implement our business plan and to service our ongoing operations, pay our current debts (described below) and maintain ownership of our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we will need to restructure our operations and/or divest all or a portion of our business. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and strategic collaborations. Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, and could increase our expenses and require that our assets secure such debt. Equity financing, if obtained, could result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders and/or require such stockholders to waive certain rights and preferences. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back, eliminate the development of business opportunities or file for bankruptcy and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. There can there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell that number of shares, if any.

We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.

Because of our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, the audit report of our independent registered public accountants on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018 contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Factors identified in the report include our historical net losses, negative working capital, and the need for additional financing to implement our business plan and service our debt repayments. If we are not able to attain profitability in the near future our financial condition could deteriorate further, which would have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment. Further, we may be unable to pay our debt obligations as they become due, which include obligations to secured creditors. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we might have to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements. Additionally, we are subject to customary operational covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, redeem stock, make specified investments and engage in merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions, among other restrictions. In addition, the inclusion of an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our lack of cash resources may materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital or to enter into critical contractual relations with third parties.

As of September 30, 2018, we owe approximately $2,965,632 and if we do not satisfy these obligations, the lenders may have the right to demand payment in full or exercise other remedies.

On March 16, 2018, we closed a Note and Account Payable Conversion Agreement with J3E2A2Z, a Washington limited partnership, Ronald P. Erickson, our Executive Chairman of the Board and a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to which (a) all $664,233 currently owing under the J3E2A2Z Notes was converted to a Convertible Redeemable Promissory Note in the principal amount of $664,233, and (b) all $519,833 of the J3E2A2Z Account Payable was converted into a Convertible Redeemable Promissory Note in the principal amount of $519,833.

Mr. Erickson and/or entities with which he is affiliated also have accrued compensation and interest of approximately $565,380. The Company owes Mr. Erickson, or entities with which he is affiliated, $1,749,466 as of September 30, 2018.

On July 9, 2018, the Company repaid a $199,935 Business Loan Agreement with Umpqua Bank from funds previously provided by an entity affiliated with Ronald P. Erickson, our Chairman of the Board. The Company paid $27,041 and issued 800,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of this debt. Mr. Erickson is an accredited investor. These shares were issued in transactions that were not registered under the Act in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of SEC Regulation D under the Act.

Including Mr. Erickson, we owe $2,255,066 under various convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2018.

We owe Capital Source $145,186 under a credit facility.

We require additional financing, to service and/or repay these debt obligations. If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we may incur substantial interest expense. If and when we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurance that we can achieve or maintain profitability.

We have experienced net losses since inception. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $34,791,000 and net losses in the amount of $3,258,000 and $3,901,000 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability. If we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Failure to become and remain profitable would impair our ability to sustain operations and adversely affect the price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. Our operating expenses may increase as we spend resources on growing our business, and if our revenue does not correspondingly increase, our operating results and financial condition will suffer. Our ChromaID business has produced minimal revenues, and may not produce significant revenues in the near term, or at all, which would harm our ability to continue our operations or obtain additional financing and require us to reduce or discontinue our operations. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as business with an early-stage technology in a new and rapidly evolving industry. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

If the company were to dissolve or wind-up operations, holders of our common stock would not receive a liquidation preference.

If we were to wind-up or dissolve our company and liquidate and distribute our assets, our common stockholders would share in our assets only after we satisfy any amounts we owe to our creditors and preferred equity holders. If our liquidation or dissolution were attributable to our inability to profitably operate our business, then it is likely that we would have material liabilities at the time of liquidation or dissolution. Accordingly, it is very unlikely that sufficient assets will remain available after the payment of our creditors and preferred equity holders to enable common stockholders to receive any liquidation distribution with respect to any common stock.

We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from the commercialization of our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology and related products to achieve or sustain profitability.

We are in the early stages of commercializing our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology. Failure to develop and sell products based upon our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology, grant additional licenses and obtain royalties or develop other revenue streams will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

To date, we have generated minimal revenue from sales of our products. We believe that our commercialization success is dependent upon our ability to significantly increase the number of customers that are using our products . In addition, demand for our products may not materialize, or increase as quickly as planned, and we may therefore be unable to increase our revenue levels as expected. We are currently not profitable . Even if we succeed in introducing our technology and related products to our target markets, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

We currently rely in part upon external resources for engineering and product development services. If we are unable to secure an engineering or product development partner or establish satisfactory engineering and product development capabilities, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology .

Our success depends upon our ability to develop products that are accurate and provide solutions for our customers. Achieving the desired results for our customers requires solving engineering issues in concert with them. Any failure of our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology or related products to meet customer expectations could result in customers choosing to retain their existing methods or to adopt systems other than ours.

We have not historically had sufficient internal resources which can work on engineering and product development matters. We have used third parties in the past and will continue to do so. These resources are not always readily available and the absence of their availability could inhibit our research and development efforts and our responsiveness to our customers. Our inability to secure those resources could impact our ability to provide engineering and product development services and could have an impact on our customers’ willingness to use our technology.

We are in the early stages of commercialization and our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology and related products may never achieve significant commercial market acceptance.

Our success depends on our ability to develop and market products that are recognized as accurate and cost-effective. Many of our potential customers may be reluctant to use our new technology. Market acceptance will depend on many factors, including our ability to convince potential customers that our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology and related products are an attractive alternative to existing light-based technologies. We will need to demonstrate that our products provide accurate and cost-effective alternatives to existing light-based authentication technologies. Compared to most competing technologies, our technology is relatively new, and most potential customers have limited knowledge of, or experience with, our products. Prior to implementing our technology and related products, potential customers are required to devote significant time and effort to testing and validating our products. In addition, during the implementation phase, customers may be required to devote significant time and effort to training their personnel on appropriate practices to ensure accurate results from our technology and products. Any failure of our technology or related products to meet customer expectations could result in customers choosing to retain their existing testing methods or to adopt systems other than ours.

Many factors influence the perception of a system including its use by leaders in the industry. If we are unable to induce industry leaders in our target markets to implement and use our technology and related products, acceptance and adoption of our products could be slowed. In addition, if our products fail to gain significant acceptance in the marketplace and we are unable to expand our customer base, we may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

Our management has concluded that we have material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the audit of our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If these weaknesses continue, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and other disclosures.

In addition, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of an audit committee “financial expert.” These material weaknesses, if not remediated, create an increased risk of misstatement of the Company’s financial results, which, if material, may require future restatement thereof. A failure to implement improved internal controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or execution, could cause future delays in our reporting obligations and could have a negative effect on us and the trading price of our common stock.

Our services and license agreement with Allied Inventors is important to our business strategy and operations.

In November 2013, we entered into a five-year strategic relationship with Allied Inventors, formerly Xinova and Invention Development Management Company, a former subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures, a private intellectual property fund with over $5 billion under management. Allied Inventors owns over 40,000 IP assets and has broad global relationships for the invention of technology, the filing of patents and the licensing of intellectual property. Allied Inventors has worked to expand the reach and the potential application of the ChromaID technology and has filed ten patents based on the ChromaID technology, which it has licensed to us.

The amended agreement with Allied Inventors covers a number of areas that are important to our operations, including the following:

● The agreement requires Allied Inventors to identify and engage inventors to develop new applications of our ChromaID technology, present the developments to us for approval, and file at least ten patent applications to protect the developments;

● We received a worldwide, nontransferable, exclusive license to the licensed intellectual property developed under this agreement within the identification, authentication and diagnostics field of use;

● We received a nonexclusive and nontransferable option to acquire a worldwide, nontransferable, nonexclusive license to intellectual property held by Allied Inventors within that same field of use; and

● We granted to Allied Inventors certain licenses to our intellectual property outside the identification, authentication and diagnostics field of use.

Failure to operate in accordance with the Allied Inventors agreement, or an early termination or cancellation of this agreement for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on ability to execute our business strategy and on our results of operations and business.

If components used in our finished products become unavailable, or third-party manufacturers otherwise experience delays, we may incur delays in shipment to our customers, which would damage our business.

We depend on third-party suppliers for substantially all of our components and products. We purchase these products and components from third-party suppliers that serve the advanced lighting systems market and we believe that alternative sources of supply are readily available for most products and components. However, consolidation could result in one or more current suppliers being acquired by a competitor, rendering us unable to continue purchasing necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices. In addition, for certain of our customized components, arrangements for additional or replacement suppliers will take time and result in delays. We purchase products and components pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business. This means we are vulnerable to unanticipated price increases and product shortages. Any interruption or delay in the supply of components and products, or our inability to obtain components and products from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we believe alternative manufacturers for these products are available, we have selected these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products per our specifications ensuring the best quality product at the most cost-effective price. We depend on our third-party manufacturers to satisfy performance and quality specifications and to dedicate sufficient production capacity within scheduled delivery times. Accordingly, the loss of all or one of these manufacturers or delays in obtaining shipments could have a material adverse effect on our operations until such time as an alternative manufacturer could be found.

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management and other personnel, some of whom could be difficult to replace, including Ronald P. Erickson, our Chairman and Phil Bosua, our Chief Executive Officer. We do not maintain key person life insurance covering any of our officers. Our success will depend on the performance of our officers, our ability to retain and motivate our officers, our ability to integrate new officers into our operations, and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our officers do not currently have employment agreements. Our failure to retain and recruit officers and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success also depends on our continued ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, manufacturing, administrative and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for these individuals is intense, and we may not be able to successfully recruit, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. In particular, we may encounter difficulties in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products and adversely impact our relationships with existing and future customers. The inability to attract and retain necessary technical, managerial, manufacturing, administrative and sales and marketing personnel could harm our ability to obtain new customers and develop new products and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have limited insurance which may not cover claims by third parties against us or our officers and directors.

We have limited directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and commercial liability insurance policies. Claims by third parties against us may exceed policy amounts and we may not have amounts to cover these claims. Any significant claims would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our limited directors’ and officers’ liability insurance may affect our ability to attract and retain directors and officers.

Our inability to effectively protect our intellectual property would adversely affect our ability to compete effectively, our revenue, our financial condition and our results of operations.

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. Obtaining and maintaining a strong patent position is important to our business. Patent law relating to the scope of claims in the technology fields in which we operate is complex and uncertain, so we cannot be assured that we will be able to obtain or maintain patent rights, or that the patent rights we may obtain will be valuable, provide an effective barrier to competitors or otherwise provide competitive advantages. Others have filed, and in the future are likely to file, patent applications that are similar or identical to ours or those of our licensors. To determine the priority of inventions, or demonstrate that we did not derive our invention from another, we may have to participate in interference or derivation proceedings in the USPTO or in court that could result in substantial costs in legal fees and could substantially affect the scope of our patent protection. We cannot be assured our patent applications will prevail over those filed by others. Also, our intellectual property rights may be subject to other challenges by third parties. Patents we obtain could be challenged in litigation or in administrative proceedings such as ex parte reexam, inter parties review, or post grant review in the United States or opposition proceedings in Europe or other jurisdictions.

There can be no assurance that:

●	any of our existing patents will continue to be held valid, if challenged;
●	patents will be issued for any of our pending applications;
●	any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will have sufficient scope or strength to protect us;
●	our patents will be issued in the primary countries where our products are sold in order to protect our rights and potential commercial advantage; or
●	any of our products or technologies will not infringe on the patents of other companies.

If we are enjoined from selling our products, or if we are required to develop new technologies or pay significant monetary damages or are required to make substantial royalty payments, our business and results of operations would be harmed.

Obtaining and maintaining a patent portfolio entails significant expense and resources. Part of the expense includes periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees, various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications due in several stages over the lifetime of patents and/or applications, as well as the cost associated with complying with numerous procedural provisions during the patent application process. We may or may not choose to pursue or maintain protection for particular inventions. In addition, there are situations in which failure to make certain payments or noncompliance with certain requirements in the patent process can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If we choose to forgo patent protection or allow a patent application or patent to lapse purposefully or inadvertently, our competitive position could suffer.

Legal actions to enforce our patent rights can be expensive and may involve the diversion of significant management time. In addition, these legal actions could be unsuccessful and could also result in the invalidation of our patents or a finding that they are unenforceable. We may or may not choose to pursue litigation or interferences against those that have infringed on our patents, or used them without authorization, due to the associated expense and time commitment of monitoring these activities. If we fail to protect or to enforce our intellectual property rights successfully, our competitive position could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and business.

Claims by others that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights could prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products or require us to pay royalties or incur substantial costs from litigation or development of non-infringing technology.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We may receive notices that claim we have infringed upon the intellectual property of others. Even if these claims are not valid, they could subject us to significant costs. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert our attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. We have engaged in litigation and litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. A successful claim of intellectual property infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed technology or develop or license technology with comparable functionality could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We currently have a very small sales and marketing organization at our TransTech Systems subsidiary. If we are unable to secure a sales and marketing partner or establish satisfactory sales and marketing capabilities at the Know Labs parent Company level we may not be able to successfully commercialize our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology.

Our subsidiary, TransTech Systems, has six sales and marketing employees on staff to support the ongoing sales efforts of that business. In order to commercialize products that are approved for commercial sales, we sell directly to our customers, collaborate with third parties that have such commercial infrastructure and work with our strategic business partners to generate sales. If we are not successful entering into appropriate collaboration arrangements, or recruiting sales and marketing personnel or in building a sales and marketing infrastructure, we will have difficulty successfully commercializing our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology, which would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may not be able to enter into collaboration agreements on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, even if we enter into such relationships, we may have limited or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution activities of these third parties. Our future revenues may depend heavily on the success of the efforts of these third parties. If we elect to establish a sales and marketing infrastructure we may not realize a positive return on this investment. In addition, we must compete with established and well-funded pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain sales and marketing personnel. Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize ChromaID and Bio-RFID without strategic partners or licensees include:

●	our inability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel;

●	the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and

●	unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent sales and marketing organization.

Government regulatory approval may be necessary before some of our products can be sold and there is no assurance such approval will be granted.

Our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology may have a number of potential applications in fields of use which will require prior governmental regulatory approval before the technology can be introduced to the marketplace. For example, we are exploring the use of our ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology for certain medical diagnostic applications, with an initial focus on the continuous monitoring of blood glucose.

There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing a continuous glucose monitoring medical applications for our technology.

If we were to be successful in developing a continuous glucose monitoring medical applications of our technology, prior approval by the FDA and other governmental regulatory bodies will be required before the technology could be introduced into the marketplace.

There is no assurance that such regulatory approval would be obtained for a continuous glucose monitoring medical diagnostic or other applications requiring such approval.

The FDA can refuse to grant, delay, limit or deny approval of an application for approval of our UBA ND CGM for many reasons,

We may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or clearances to market these continuous glucose monitoring systems in the United States or outside of the United States.

Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain, approval or clearance for our products could prevent us from generating revenue from these products or achieving profitability.

Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents could result in the compromise of confidential data or critical data systems and give rise to potential harm to customers, remediation and other expenses, expose us to liability under HIPAA, consumer protection laws, or other common law theories, subject us to litigation and federal and state governmental inquiries, damage our reputation, and otherwise be disruptive to our business and operations.

Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. We collect and store on our networks sensitive information, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personally identifiable information of our customers. The secure maintenance of this information and technology is critical to our business operations. We have implemented multiple layers of security measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of this data and the systems and devices that store and transmit such data. We utilize current security technologies, and our defenses are monitored and routinely tested internally and by external parties. Despite these efforts, threats from malicious persons and groups, new vulnerabilities and advanced new attacks against information systems create risk of cybersecurity incidents. These incidents can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may not immediately produce signs of intrusion, we may be unable to anticipate these incidents or techniques, timely discover them, or implement adequate preventative measures.

These threats can come from a variety of sources, ranging in sophistication from an individual hacker to malfeasance by employees, consultants or other service providers to state-sponsored attacks. Cyber threats may be generic, or they may be custom-crafted against our information systems. Over the past several years, cyber-attacks have become more prevalent and much harder to detect and defend against. Our network and storage applications may be vulnerable to cyber-attack, malicious intrusion, malfeasance, loss of data privacy or other significant disruption and may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers, employees, consultants or other service providers. In addition, hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud, trickery or other forms of deceiving our employees, contractors and temporary staff.

There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to cybersecurity incidents that bypass our security measures, impact the integrity, availability or privacy of personal health information or other data subject to privacy laws or disrupt our information systems, devices or business, including our ability to deliver services to our customers. As a result, cybersecurity, physical security and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our enterprise, information systems and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority for us. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

We may engage in acquisitions, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestures that could result in final results that are different than expected .

In the normal course of business, we engage in discussions relating to possible acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. Such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms as well as impairment expenses related to goodwill and amortization expenses related to other intangible assets, the possibility that we may pay too much cash or issue too many of our shares as the purchase price for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition, and various potential difficulties involved in integrating acquired businesses into our operations.

From time to time, we have also engaged in discussions with candidates regarding the potential acquisitions of our product lines, technologies and businesses. If a divestiture such as this does occur, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser; identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain; reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business; and collect the proceeds from any divestitures.

If we do not realize the expected benefits of any acquisition or divestiture transaction, our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be negatively impacted.

Our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to execute successful strategic acquisitions. We have made strategic acquisitions in the past and may do so in the future, and if the acquired companies do not perform as expected, this could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business.

We may continue to expand our business through strategic acquisitions. The success of any acquisition will depend on, among other things:

●

the availability of suitable candidates;

●

higher than anticipated acquisition costs and expenses;

●

competition from other companies for the purchase of available candidates;

●

our ability to value those candidates accurately and negotiate favorable terms for those acquisitions;

●

the availability of funds to finance acquisitions and obtaining any consents necessary under our credit facility;

●

the ability to establish new informational, operational and financial systems to meet the needs of our business;

●

the ability to achieve anticipated synergies, including with respect to complementary products or services; and

●

the availability of management resources to oversee the integration and operation of the acquired businesses.

We may not be successful in effectively integrating acquired businesses and completing acquisitions in the future. We also may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources in seeking to complete acquisitions. Acquired businesses may fail to meet our performance expectations. If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of an acquisition as rapidly as expected, or at all, investors or analysts may not perceive the same benefits of the acquisition as we do. If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to corporate governance and internal control requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with existing and future requirements could adversely affect our business.

We must comply with corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as additional rules and regulations currently in place and that may be subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules, and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations is expected to remain substantial.

Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of an audit committee “financial expert.” We expect to appoint an additional independent director to serve as Audit Committee Chairman. This director will be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules, and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting, and similar matters in the future. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and the value of our securities.

The Capital Source credit facility with TransTech contains covenants that may limit our flexibility in operating our business and failure to comply with any of these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business .

In December 8, 2009, we entered into the Capital Source credit facility. On December 6, 2018, Capital Source notified TransTech that the Loan and Security Agreement and Capital Source Credit Facility would be cancelled as of March 12, 2019. Effective December 12, 2018, TransTech entered into the Sixth Modification to the Loan and Security Agreement which reduced the secured credit facility to $200,000.

This Capital Source credit facility contains covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:

●

sell, transfer, lease or dispose of certain assets;

●

engage in certain mergers and consolidations;

●

incur debt or encumber or permit liens on certain assets, except in the limited circumstances permitted under the loan and security agreements;

●

make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on, or repurchasing or making distributions with respect to, our common stock; and

●

enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

A breach of any of the covenants under the Capital Source credit facility could result in a default under the Capital Source credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Capital Source credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness. We expect to replace the credit facility by March 12, 2019.

Our wholly-owned TransTech subsidiary revenues are declining

The financial results from our TransTech subsidiary have been diminishing as vendors of their products increasingly move to the Internet and direct sales to their customers. While it does provide our current revenues, it is not central to our current focus as a Company. Moreover, we have written down any goodwill associated with its historic acquisition. We continue to closely monitor this subsidiary. We may not be able to successfully address this revenue decline, which could significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition and result in winding down this subsidiary.

The exercise prices of certain warrants, convertible notes payable and the Series A, C, and D Preferred Shares may require further adjustment.

In the future, if we sell our common stock at a price below $0.25 per share, the exercise price of 20,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,785,715 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 1,016,004 outstanding shares Series D Preferred Stock that adjust below $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments. In addition, the conversion price of a Convertible Note Payable of $2,255,066 and the exercise price of additional outstanding warrants to purchase 13,865,286 shares of common stock would adjust below $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments.

Risks Relating to Our Stock

The price of our common stock is volatile, which may cause investment losses for our stockholders .

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as:

	●	Announcements by us regarding liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments and litigation;
	●	Issuance of convertible or equity securities and related warrants for general or merger and acquisition purposes;
	●	Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes;
	●	Sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock by stockholders;

	●	General market and economic conditions;
	●	Quarterly variations in our operating results;
	●	Investor and public relation activities;
	●	Announcements of technological innovations;
	●	New product introductions by us or our competitors;
	●	Competitive activities; and
	●	Additions or departures of key personnel.

These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Transfers of our securities may be restricted by virtue of state securities “blue sky” laws, which prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.

Transfers of our common stock may be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "blue sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities held by many of our stockholders have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions may prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. Investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Three individual investors could have significant influence over matters submitted to stockholders for approval .

As of December 21, 2018, four individuals in the aggregate, assuming the exercise of all warrants to purchase common stock, hold shares representing approximately 61% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis and could be considered a control group for purposes of SEC rules. However, the agreement with one of these individuals limits his ownership to 4.99% individually. Beneficial ownership includes shares over which an individual or entity has investment or voting power and includes shares that could be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants within 60 days after the date of determination. If these persons were to choose to act together, they would be able to significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our officers, directors, management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, could significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other stockholders may desire.

The sale of a significant number of our shares of common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of December 21, 2018, we had 17,531,502 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held by 122 stockholders of record. The number of stockholders, including beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names, is approximately 2,300. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote, and no cumulative voting for directors is permitted. Stockholders do not have any preemptive rights to acquire additional securities issued by us. As of December 21, 2018, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 2,182,668 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 15,473,398 common shares, and 4,914,071 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, we have an unknown number of shares (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share) are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures of $2,255,066. All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal stockholders, other company insiders and other large stockholders. As “affiliates” of Know Labs, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, our principal stockholders, other of our insiders and other large stockholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144.

These options, warrants, convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock could result in further dilution to common stock holders and may affect the market price of the common stock.

Future issuance of additional shares of common stock and/or preferred stock could dilute existing stockholders. We have and may issue preferred stock that could have rights that are preferential to the rights of common stock that could discourage potentially beneficially transactions to our common stockholders.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we currently have authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. To the extent that common shares are available for issuance, subject to compliance with applicable stock exchange listing rules, our board of directors has the ability to issue additional shares of common stock in the future for such consideration as the board of directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of any additional securities could, among other things, result in substantial dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders at the time of issuance, result in substantial dilution of our earnings per share and adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.

An issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over our common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve. The issuance of preferred stock could impair the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of common stockholders without their approval.

Future capital raises may dilute our existing stockholders’ ownership and/or have other adverse effects on our operations.

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced and these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights senior to those of our common stock and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations, including liens on our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or candidate products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire our company, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring our company, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock; our Series A Preferred Stock contains provisions that restrict our ability to take certain actions without the consent of at least 66% of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

In addition, our articles of incorporation restrict our ability to take certain actions without the approval of at least 66% of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. These actions include, among other things;

● authorizing, creating, designating, establishing or issuing an increased number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock;

● adopting a plan for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up the affairs of our company or any recapitalization plan (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise);

● amending, altering or repealing, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, our articles of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that would adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock; and

● declaring or paying any dividend (with certain exceptions) or directly or indirectly purchase, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of our capital stock, stock options or convertible securities (with certain exceptions).

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Authorized Capital Stock

We have authorized 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Voting Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.

Series A Preferred Stock

In July 2015, we sold Series A Preferred Stock to two investors for a total of $350,000. As of December 21, 2018, we had 20,000 Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred held by such holder are then convertible as of the applicable record date. The Series A Preferred may not be redeemed without the consent of the holder. The Company cannot amend, alter or repeal any preferences, rights, or other terms of the Series A Preferred so as to adversely affect the Series A Preferred, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, voting as a separate voting group, given by written consent or by vote at a meeting called for such purpose for which notice shall have been duly given to the holders of the Series A Preferred.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred, we also issued (i) a Series C five-year Warrant for 2 shares of common stock and (ii) a Series D five-year Warrant for 23,334 shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series C and D Warrants currently have no registration rights.

On August 14, 2017, the price of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C and D Warrants were adjusted to $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments.

On September 23, 2018, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock converted 3,334 shares into 3,334 shares of common stock. In addition, the holder exercised Series C and D Warrants for 6,668 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share.

Series C and D Preferred Stock and Warrants

On August 5, 2016, we closed a Series C Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Clayton A. Struve, an accredited investor for the purchase of $1,250,000 of preferred stock with a conversion price of $0.70 per share. The preferred stock has a yield of 8% and an ownership blocker of 4.99%. In addition, Mr. Struve received a five-year warrant to acquire 1,785,714 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share.

To determine the effective conversion price, a portion of the proceeds received by us upon issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock was first allocated to the freestanding warrants issued as part of this transaction. Given that the warrants will not subsequently be measured at fair value, we determined that the warrants should receive an allocation of the proceeds based on their relative fair value. This is based on the understanding that the FASB staff and the SEC staff believe that a freestanding instrument issued in a basket transaction should be initially measured at fair value if it is required to be subsequently measured at fair value pursuant to US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), with the residual proceeds from the transaction allocated to any remaining instruments based on their relative fair values. As such, the warrants were allocated a fair value of approximately $514,706 upon issuance, with the remaining $735,294 of proceeds allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock.

Proportionately, this allocation resulted in approximately 59% of the face amount of the Series C Preferred Stock issuance remaining, which applied to the stated conversion price of $0.70 resulted in an effective conversion price of approximately $0.41.

Having determined the effective conversion price, we then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $1.06 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.65 per share. As such, the Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature and an accounting entry and additional financial statement disclosure was required.

Because our preferred stock is perpetual, with no stated maturity date, and the conversions may occur any time from inception, the dividend is recognized immediately when a beneficial conversion exists at issuance. During the year ending September 30, 2016, the Company. recognized preferred stock dividends of $1.16 million on Series C preferred stock related to the beneficial conversion feature arising from a common stock effective conversion rate of $0.41 versus a current market price of $1.06 per common share.

On November 14, 2016, we issued 187,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock in a private placement to certain accredited investors for gross proceeds of $150,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated November 10, 2016.

The warrants associated with the November 14, 2016 issuance were allocated a fair value of approximately $56,539 upon issuance, with the remaining $63,539 of net proceeds allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock. Proportionately, this allocation resulted in approximately 53% of the amount of the Series D Preferred Stock issuance remaining, which applied to the stated conversion price of $0.80 resulted in an effective conversion price of approximately $0.34. Having determined the effective conversion price, the Company then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $1.14 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.80 per share. As such, we concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature of $150,211 which was recorded as a beneficial conversion in stockholders’ equity.

On December 19, 2016, we issued 187,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock in a private placement to an accredited investor for gross proceeds of $150,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 14, 2016.

The warrants associated with the December 19, 2016 issuance were allocated a fair value of approximately $60,357 upon issuance, with the remaining $69,643 of net proceeds allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock. Proportionately, this allocation resulted in approximately 54% of the amount of the Series D Preferred Stock issuance remaining, which applied to the stated conversion price of $0.80 resulted in an effective conversion price of approximately $0.37. Having determined the effective conversion price, the Company then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $0.81 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.44 per share. As such, we concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature of $82,232 which was recorded as a beneficial conversion in stockholders’ equity.

Because our preferred stock is perpetual, with no stated maturity date, and the conversions may occur any time from inception, the dividend is recognized immediately when a beneficial conversion exists at issuance. During the year ending September 30, 2017, we recognized preferred stock dividends of $2.3 million on Series D preferred stock related to the beneficial conversion feature arising from a common stock effective conversion rate of $0.34 and $0.37 versus the original market price of $1.14 and $1.06 per common share, respectively.

On May 1, 2017, we issued 357,143 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 357,143 shares of common stock in a private placement to an accredited investor for gross proceeds of $250,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 2016.

The initial conversion price of the Series D Shares is $0.70 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The initial exercise price of the warrant is $0.70 per share, also subject to certain adjustments. The Company also amended and restated the Certificate of Designations, resulting in an adjustment to the conversion price of all currently outstanding Series D Shares to $0.70 per share.

On August 14, 2017, the price of the Series C and D Preferred Stock were adjusted to $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments. After adjustment there were 3,108,356 shares of Series D preferred stock authorized.

On July 17, 2018, we filed with the State of Nevada a second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Powers, and Rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The Amended Certificate restates the prior Certificate of Designation filed on May 8, 2017 to decrease the number of authorized Series D shares from 3,906,250 shares to 1,016,014 shares. No other amendments were made to the preferences and rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The filing of the Amended Certificate was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series F Preferred Stock

On August 1, 2018, we filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation establishing the Designations, Preferences, Limitations and Relative Rights of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Designation”). The Designation authorized 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Preferred Stock shall only be issued to the current Board of Directors on the date of the Designation’s filing and is not convertible into common stock. As set forth in the Designation, the Series F Preferred Stock has no rights to dividends or liquidation preference and carries rights to vote 100,000 shares of common stock per share of Series F upon a Trigger Event, as defined in the Designation. A Trigger Event includes certain unsolicited bids, tender offers, proxy contests, and significant share purchases, all as described in the Designation. Unless and until a Trigger Event, the Series F shall have no right to vote. The Series F Preferred Stock shall remain issued and outstanding until the date which is 731 days after the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock (“Explosion Date”), unless a Trigger Event occurs, in which case the Explosion Date shall be extended by 183 days.

Securities Subject to Price Adjustments

On August 14, 2017, a private placement triggered a provision in the documents governing 23,334 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,785,715 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,016,004 outstanding shares Series D preferred Stock, which adjusted the conversion price of such Preferred Stock to $0.25 per share. In addition, the conversion price of a Convertible Note Payables of $2,390,066 and the exercise price of outstanding warrants to purchase 9,548,741 shares of common stock were adjusted to $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments.

As of December 21, 2018, there were outstanding warrants for the purchase of 15,473,398 shares of common stock. In the future, if we sell our common stock at a price below $0.25 per share, the exercise price of 20,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,785,715 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 3,108,356 outstanding shares Series D Preferred Stock that adjust below $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments. In addition, the conversion price of a Convertible Note Payable of $2,255,066 (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share) and the exercise price of additional outstanding warrants to purchase 13,865,286 shares of common stock would adjust below $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. As of September 30, 2018, we had 17,531,502 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held by 122 shareholders of record. The number of shareholders, including beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names, is approximately 2,300. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote, and no cumulative voting for directors is permitted. Shareholders do not have any preemptive rights to acquire additional securities issued by us. As of September 30, 2018, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 2,182,668 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 15,473,398 common shares and 4,914,071 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. We have Convertible Note Payable of $2,255,066 (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share). All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

American Stock Transfer and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock.

Stock Incentive Plan

On March 21, 2013, an amendment to the Stock Option Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company, increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan to 93,333 shares. On April 10, 2018, the Board approved an amendment to its 2011 Stock Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock reserved under the Incentive Plan from 93,333 to 1,200,000. On August 7, 2018, the Board approved an amendment to its 2011 Stock Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock reserved under the Incentive Plan from 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 to common shares. On December 21, 2018, the Board approved an amendment to its 2011 Stock Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock reserved under the Incentive Plan from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 to common shares.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Nevada Revised Statutes

Acquisition of Controlling Interest Statutes . Nevada's "acquisition of controlling interest" statutes contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These "control share" laws provide generally that any person who acquires a "controlling interest" in certain Nevada corporations may be denied certain voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights. These statutes provide that a person acquires a "controlling interest" whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, would enable that person to exercise (1) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more, but less than a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become "control shares" to which the voting restrictions described above apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws currently contain no provisions relating to these statutes, and unless our articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest were to provide otherwise, these laws would apply to us if we were to (i) have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of which have addresses in the State of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger) and (ii) do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. As of September 30, 2018 we have less than 200 record stockholders. If these laws were to apply to us, they might discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

Combinations with Interested Stockholders Statutes . Nevada's "combinations with interested stockholders" statutes prohibit certain business "combinations" between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an "interested stockholder" for two years after the such person first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless (i) the corporation's board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an "interested stockholder") in advance, or (ii) the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation's voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (x) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (y) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "combination" is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between the corporation and an "interested stockholder". Subject to certain timing requirements set forth in the statutes, a corporation may elect not to be governed by these statutes. We have not included any such provision in our articles of incorporation.

The effect of these statutes may be to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our Board of Directors.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws Provisions

Our articles of incorporation, as amended and restated, and our bylaws, as amended and restated, contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. In particular, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, among other things:

● permit our Board of Directors to alter our bylaws without stockholder approval;

● provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum;

● authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which can be created and issued by our Board of Directors without prior stockholder approval, with rights senior to our common stock, which may render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise; and

● establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors and other business to be brought before stockholder meetings, which notice must contain information specified in our bylaws.

● adopting a plan for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up the affairs of our company or any recapitalization plan (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise);

Such provisions may have the effect of discouraging a third-party from acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and in the policies formulated by them, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change in control of our company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage some tactics that may be used in proxy fights. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

Market Price of and Dividends on Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Trades in our common stock may be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which imposes requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction before the sale.

Our transfer agent is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company located at 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219, and their telephone number is (800) 937-5449.

Dividend Policy

We have not previously declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to use all of our available funds to finance the growth and development of our business. We can give no assurances that we will ever have excess funds available to pay dividends. In addition, our articles of incorporation restrict our ability to pay any dividends on our common stock without the approval of 66% of our then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had the following sales of unregistered sales of equity securities:

We issued 71,436 shares of common stock to employees and consultants and for services during 2018. We expensed $91,438.

On June 25, 2018, we closed a private placement and received gross proceeds of $1,750,000 ($1,710,000 as of September 30, 2018) in exchange for issuing 7,000,000 (6,840,000 as of September 30, 2018) shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,500,000 (3,420,000 as of September 30, 2018) shares of common stock in a private placement to accredited investors pursuant to a series of substantially identical subscription agreements. The initial exercise price of the warrants described above is $0.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and they expired five years after their issuance. The shares and the warrants described above were issued in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of SEC Regulation D under the Act.

We closed debt conversions and issued 1,600,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of $464,000 in preexisting debt owed by the Company to by Ronald P. Erickson or entities and Clayton A. Struve, both of whom are accredited investors. These shares were issued in transactions that were not registered under the Act in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of SEC Regulation D under the Act.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 158,000 shares of our common stock related to warrant exercises that were valued at $80,128.

On September 23, 2018, we issued 3,334 shares of our common stock related to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock for $834.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

We are focused on the development, marketing and sales of a proprietary technology which is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance using electromagnetic energy to create, record and detect the unique digital “signature” of the substance. We call our technology “ChromaID™” and “Bio-RFID™.”

Overview

Historically we have focused on the development of our proprietary ChromaID™ technology. Using light from low-cost LEDs (light emitting diodes) we map the color of substances, fluids and materials and with our proprietary processes we can authenticate, identify and diagnose based upon the color that is present. The color is both visible to us as humans but also outside of the humanly visible color spectrum in the near infra-red and near ultra-violet and beyond. Our ChromaID scanner sees what we like to call “Nature’s Color Fingerprint.” Everything in nature has a unique color identifier and with ChromaID we can see it, and identify, authenticate and diagnose based upon the color that is present. Our ChromaID scanner is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance or liquid using light to create, record and detect its unique color signature. We will continue to develop and enhance our ChromaID technology and extend its capacity. More recently, we have focused upon extensions and new inventions that are derived from and extend our ChromaID technology which we call Bio-RFID. The rapid advances made with Bio-RFID technology in our laboratory have caused us to move quickly in to the commercialization phase of our Company as we work to create revenue generating products for the marketplace. We will also, as time permits, pursue licensing opportunities with third parties who have ready applications for our technology.

In 2010, we acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to our business. TransTech is a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification and authentication. TransTech has historically provided substantially all of the Company’s revenues. The financial results from our TransTech subsidiary have been diminishing as vendors of their products increasingly move to the Internet and direct sales to their customers. While it does provide our current revenues it is not central to our current focus as a Company. Moreover, we have written down any good will associated with its historic acquisition and we continue to monitor this subsidiary.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

Sales

Net revenue for the year ended September 30, 2018 decreased $571,000 to $4,303,000 as compared to $4,874,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was due to lower sales by TransTech. We have focused TransTech on maximizing profits at the lower sales level.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended September 30, 2018 decreased $484,000 to $3,482,000 as compared to $3,966,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was due to lower sales by TransTech. We have focused TransTech on maximizing profits at the lower sales level.

Gross profit was $821,000 for the year ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $908,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. Gross profit was 19.1% for the year ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 18.6% for the year ended September 30, 2017. We have focused TransTech on maximizing profits at the lower sales level.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2018 increased $491,000 to $570,000 as compared to $79,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to expenditures related to the Consulting and Services Agreement with Phillip A. Bosua, our Chief Product Officer for product development, including the development of our Bio-RFID™ technology.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for year ended September 30, 2018 decreased $579,000 to $2,509,000 as compared to $3,088,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017.

The decrease primarily was due to (i) reduced payroll, bad debt and other expenses of $465,000 at TransTech; (ii) decreased corporate development expense of $425,000; (iii) decreased other corporate expenses of $217,000; and (iv) offset by increased stock based compensation expenses of $581,000 . As part of the selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $198,000 of investor relation expenses and corporate development expenses.

Impairment of Goodwill

Our TransTech business is very capital intensive. We reviewed TransTech’s operations based on its overall financial constraints and determined the value has been impaired. We recorded an impairment of goodwill associated with TransTech of $984,000 during the year ended September 30, 2017.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $1,000,000 as compared to other expense of $657,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The other expense for the year ended September 30, 2018 included (i) interest expense of $1,195,000; offset by (ii) other income of $25,000 and (iii) gain on debt settlements of $170,000. The interest expense related a senior convertible exchangeable debenture issued on December 12, 2017 and February 28, 2018 in conjunction with a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2017. The gain on debt settlements and forgiveness of accounts payable.

The other expense for the year ended September 30, 2017 included (i) change in the value of derivatives of $218,000; (ii) interest expense of $377,000; (iii) other expense of $63,000. The decrease is a result of the decline of the derivative liability as our underlying stock price has declined and conversion of interest and amortization of debt discount of $227,000.

Net (Loss)

Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $3,258,000 as compared to $3,901,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The net loss for the year ended September 30, 2018 , included non-cash expenses of $1,935,000. The non-cash items include (i) depreciation and amortization of $133,000; (ii) issuance of capital stock for services and expenses of $440,000; (iii) stock based compensation of $291,000; (iv) conversion of interest and amortization of debt discount of $539,000; (v) conversion of accrued liabilities of $492,000; (vi) issuance of common stock for conversion of liabilities of $200,000; and (vii) other of $10,000; (viii) offset by non cash gain on accounts payable of $170,000. TransTech’s net income from operations was $49,000 for the year ended September 30, 2018 as compared to a net loss from operations of ($256,000) for the year ended September 30, 2017.

The net loss for the year ended September 30, 2017 , included non-cash expenses of non-cash items of $2,397,000. The non-cash items include (i) depreciation and amortization of $81,000; (ii) issuance of capital stock for services and expenses of $548,000; (iii) stock based compensation of $38,000; (iv) bad debt losses and provision on loss on accounts receivable of $141,000; (v) impairment of goodwill of $984,000; (vi) loss on sale of assets $113,000; (vii) conversion of interest and amortization of debt discount of $227,000; and (viii) reclassification of derivative liability of $410,000; offset by (ix) loss on change- derivative liability warrants of $145,000.

We expect losses to continue as we commercialize our ChromaID™ and Bio-RFID™ technology.

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.

We had cash of approximately $934,000 and a net working capital deficit of approximately $832,000 (net of convertible notes payable and notes payable) as of September 30, 2018. We have experienced net losses since inception and we expect losses to continue as we commercialize our ChromaID™ technology. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $34,791,000 and net losses in the amount of $3,258,000 and $3,901,000 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations through March 31, 2019.

The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions.

We need additional financing to implement our business plan and to service our ongoing operations and pay our current debts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we will need to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and strategic collaborations. Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, and could increase our expenses and require that our assets secure such debt. Equity financing, if obtained, could result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders and/or require such stockholders to waive certain rights and preferences. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back, eliminate the development of business opportunities or file for bankruptcy and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We have financed our corporate operations and our technology development through the issuance of convertible debentures, the issuance of preferred stock, the sale common stock, issuance of common stock in conjunction with an equity line of credit, loans by our Chairman and the exercise of warrants.

We finance our TransTech operations from operations and a Secured Credit Facility with Capital Source Business Finance Group. On June 15, 2018, TransTech entered into a Fifth Modification to the Loan and Security Agreement related to the $500,000 secured credit facility with Capital Source to fund its operations. The Modification extended the maturity to December 12, 2018. The secured credit facility provides for a prime rate interest floor for prime interest of 4.5% plus 2.5%. The eligible borrowing is based on 80% of eligible trade accounts receivable, not to exceed $500,000. The secured credit facility is collateralized by the assets of TransTech, with a guarantee by Know Labs, including a security interest in all assets of Know Labs. The remaining balance on the accounts receivable must be repaid by the time the secured credit facility expires on December 12, 2018, unless we renew by automatic extension for the next successive term. TransTech has $24,000 available as of September 30, 2018.

On December 6, 2018, Capital Source notified TransTech that the Loan and Security Agreement and Capital Source Credit Facility would be cancelled as of March 12, 2019.

Effective December 12, 2018, TransTech entered into the Sixth Modification to the Loan and Security Agreement which reduced the secured credit facility to $200,000.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $1,117,000. This amount was primarily related to (i) a net loss of $3,258,000; (ii) a decrease in deferred revenue of $8,000; and (iii) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $176,000; offset by (iv) a decrease in accounts receivable of $362,000; (v) other of $29,000; and (vi) non-cash expenses of $1,935,000. The non-cash items include (i) depreciation and amortization of $133,000; (ii) issuance of capital stock for services and expenses of $719,000; (iii) stock based compensation of $291,000; (iv) conversion of interest and amortization of debt discount of $539,000; (v) conversion of accrued liabilities of $492,000; (vi) issuance of common stock for conversion of liabilities of $200,000; and (vii) other of $10,000; (viii) offset by non cash gain on accounts payable of $170,000.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $97,000. This amount was primarily related to the investment in equipment for the lab.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $2,046,000. This amount was primarily related to (i) proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1,750,000 (ii) proceeds from convertible notes of $636,000; (iii) issuance of common stock for warrant exercises of $80,000, offset by (iv) repayment of line of credit of $220,000 and (v) repayment of note payable of $200,000.

Our contractual cash obligations as of September 30, 2018 are summarized in the table below:

		Less Than			Greater Than
Contractual Cash Obligations	Total	1 Year	1-3 Years	3-5 Years	5 Years

	$ 2,907,854	$ 2,578,442	$ 195,914	$ 133,498	$ -

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 AND ESTIMATES

The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (see summary of significant accounting policies more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements set forth in this report), the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity:

Inventories – Inventories consist primarily of printers and consumable supplies, including ribbons and cards, badge accessories, capture devices, and access control components held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are considered available for resale when drop shipped and invoiced directly to a customer from a vendor, or when physically received by TransTech at a warehouse location. We record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory whenever an impairment has been identified. There is a $60,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments – 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).

Revenue Recognition – Know Labs and TransTech revenue are derived from products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the products or services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned.

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 to purchase shares of our common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by us at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, we recognize stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC 505.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have no investments in any market risk sensitive instruments either held for trading purposes or entered into for other than trading purposes.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Reference is made to our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. 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 this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded as of September 30, 2018 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed immediately below.

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting:

Personnel: We do not employ a full time Chief Financial Officer. Our Chairman serves as interim Chief Financial Officer. We utilize a consultant to assist with our financial reporting.

Audit Committee : While we have an audit committee, we lack a financial expert. During 2019, the Board expects to appoint an additional independent Director to serve as Audit Committee Chairman who is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework . Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2018.

Pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 308(b), this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

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 September 30, 2018 , there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

There were no disclosures of any information required to be filed on Form 8-K during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that were not filed.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each of our executive officers named in the Compensation Table on page 37 under “Remuneration of Executive Officers” (the “Named Executive Officers”) who served during the year ended September 30, 2018. This compensation discussion primarily focuses on the information contained in the following tables and related footnotes and narrative for the last completed fiscal year. We also describe compensation actions taken after the last completed fiscal year to the extent that it enhances the understanding of our executive compensation disclosure. The principles and guidelines discussed herein would also apply to any additional executive officers that the Company may hire in the future.

The Compensation Committee of the Board has responsibility for overseeing, reviewing and approving executive compensation and benefit programs in accordance with the Compensation Committee’s charter. The members of the Compensation Committee are Jon Pepper. We expect to appoint an additional independent Director to serve on the Compensation Committee by early 2019.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The major compensation objectives for the Company’s executive officers are as follows:


	●	to attract and retain highly qualified individuals capable of making significant contributions to our long-term success;

	●	to motivate and reward named executive officers whose knowledge, skills, and performance are critical to our success;

	●	to closely align the interests of our named executive officers and other key employees with those of its shareholders; and

	●	to utilize incentive based compensation to reinforce performance objectives and reward superior performance.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

The Board approves all compensation for the chief executive officer. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations on the compensation for the chief executive officer and approves all compensation decisions, including equity awards, for our executive officers. Our chief executive officer makes recommendations regarding the base salary and non-equity compensation of other executive officers that are approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

Setting Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that compensation for the Company’s executive officers must be managed to what we can afford and in a way that allows for us to meet our goals for overall performance. During 2018 and 2017, the Compensation Committee and the Board compensated its Chairman of the Board and Interim Financial Officer with an annual salary of $180,000. Since April 10, 2018, the Compensation Committee and the Board compensated its Chief Executive Officer with an annual salary of $225,000. This compensation reflected the financial condition of the Company. Other Named Executive Officers were paid by us during 2018 and 2017. The Compensation Committee does not use a peer group of publicly-traded and privately-held companies in structuring the compensation packages.

Executive Compensation Components for the Year Ended September 30, 2018

The Compensation Committee did not use a formula for allocating compensation among the elements of total compensation during the year that ended on September 30, 2018. The Compensation Committee believes that in order to attract and retain highly effective people it must maintain a flexible compensation structure. For the year that ended on September 30, 2018, the principal components of compensation for named executive officers were base salary.

Base Salary

Base salary is intended to ensure that our employees are fairly and equitably compensated. Generally, base salary is used to appropriately recognize and reward the experience and skills that employees bring to the Company and provides motivation for career development and enhancement. Base salary ensures that all employees continue to receive a basic level of compensation that reflects any acquired skills which are competently demonstrated and are consistently used at work.

Base salaries for the Company’s named executive officers are initially established based on their prior experience, the scope of their responsibilities and the applicable competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions. Mr. Erickson and Mr. Wilson were compensated as described above based on the financial condition of the Company.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes incentive compensation reinforces performance objectives, rewards superior performance and is consistent with the enhancement of stockholder value. All of the Company’s Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive performance-based incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee did not recommend or approve payment of any performance-based incentive compensation to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended September 30, 2018 based on our financial condition.

Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee does not require our executive officers to hold a minimum number of our shares. However, to directly align the interests of executive officers with the interests of the stockholders, the Compensation Committee encourages each executive officer to maintain an ownership interest in the Company.

Stock Option Program

Stock options are an integral part of our executive compensation program. They are intended to encourage ownership and retention of the Company’s common stock by named executive officers and employees, as well as non-employee members of the Board. Through stock options, the objective of aligning employees’ long-term interest with those of stockholders may be met by providing employees with the opportunity to build a meaningful stake in the Company.

The Stock Option Program assists us by:

- enhancing the link between the creation of stockholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation;

- providing an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executive officers; and

- maintaining competitive levels of total compensation.

Stock option award levels are determined by the Compensation Committee and vary among participants’ positions within the Company. Newly hired executive officers or promoted executive officers are generally awarded stock options, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, at the next regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting on or following their hire or promotion date. In addition, such executives are eligible to receive additional stock options on a discretionary basis after performance criteria are achieved.

Options are awarded at the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant or last trading day prior to the date of the grant. The Compensation Committee’s policy is not to grant options with an exercise price that is less than the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

Generally, the majority of the options granted by the Compensation Committee vest quarterly over two to three years or annually over five years of the 5-10-year option term. Vesting and exercise rights cease upon termination of employment and/or service, except in the case of death (subject to a one year limitation), disability or retirement. Stock options vest immediately upon termination of employment without cause or an involuntary termination following a change of control. Prior to the exercise of an option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

The Named Executive Officers received stock grants and option awards during the year ended September 30, 2018.

Retirement and Other Benefits

We have no other retirement, savings, long-term stock award or other type of plans for the Named Executive Officers.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

During the year ended September 30, 2018, we provided the Named Executive Officers with medical insurance. No other personal benefits were provided to these individuals. The committee expects to review the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to Named Executive Officers annually.

Employment Agreement with Phillip A. Bosua, Chief Executive Officer

Employment Agreement with Ronald P. Erickson, Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Financial Officer

On August 4, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an Employment Agreement with Ronald P. Erickson pursuant to which we engaged Mr. Erickson as our Chief Executive Officer through September 30, 2018.

Mr. Erickson’s annual compensation is $180,000. Mr. Erickson is also entitled to receive an annual bonus and equity awards compensation as approved by the Board. The bonus should be paid no later than 30 days following earning of the bonus.

Mr. Erickson will be entitled to participate in all group employment benefits that are offered by us to our senior executives and management employees from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of such benefit plans, including any eligibility requirements.

If we terminate Mr. Erickson’s employment at any time prior to the expiration of the Term without Cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement, or if Mr. Erickson terminates his employment at any time for “Good Reason” or due to a “Disability”, Mr. Erickson will be entitled to receive (i) his Base Salary amount for one year; and (ii) medical benefits for eighteen months.

On April 10, 2018, we entered into an Amended Employment Agreement for Ronald P. Erickson which amends the Employment Agreement dated July 1, 2017. The Amended Employment Agreement expires March 21, 2019.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Subject to certain exceptions, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") generally denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to its chief executive officer and its three other highest paid executive officers (other than the principal financial officer) to the extent that any such individual's compensation exceeds $1 million. “Performance-based compensation” (as defined for purposes of Section 162(m)) is not taken into account for purposes of calculating the $1 million compensation limit, provided certain disclosure, shareholder approval and other requirements are met. We periodically review the potential consequences of Section 162(m) and may structure the performance-based portion of our executive compensation to comply with certain exceptions to Section 162(m). However, we may authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exceptions to Section 162(m) when we believe that such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of the stockholders, after taking into consideration changing business conditions or the officer's performance.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Beginning on January 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments including its Stock Option Program in accordance with the requirements of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee, composed entirely of independent directors in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, sets and administers policies that govern the Company's executive compensation programs, and incentive and stock programs. The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

We have operated under a Code of Conduct for many years. Our Code of Conduct requires all employees, officers and directors, without exception, to avoid the engagement in activities or relationships that conflict, or would be perceived to conflict, with the Company’s interests or adversely affect its reputation. It is understood, however, that certain relationships or transactions may arise that would be deemed acceptable and appropriate upon full disclosure of the transaction, following review and approval to ensure there is a legitimate business reason for the transaction and that the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from an unrelated person.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all transactions with related persons. The Company has not adopted a written policy for reviewing related person transactions. The Company reviews all relationships and transactions in which the Company and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. As required under SEC rules, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the Company or a related person are disclosed.

Director Independence

The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Pepper, Mr. Takesako and Mr. Owens are each an independent director . For purposes of making that determination, the Board used NASDAQ’s Listing Rules even though the Company is not currently listed on NASDAQ.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since October 1, 2016, we have engaged in the following reportable transactions with our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our voting securities and affiliates, or immediately family members of our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our voting securities.

Prior to the adoption of our related person transaction policy, there was a legitimate business reason for all the related person transactions described above and we believe that, where applicable, the terms of the transactions are no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unrelated person.

Our Audit Committee reviews all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Know Labs, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Know Labs, Inc. as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘financial statements’). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Know Labs, Inc. at September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are also described in Note 2.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KNOW LABS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	ORGANIZATION

Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. The Company has authorized 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 are shares preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Company is focused on the development, marketing and sales of a proprietary technologies which are capable of uniquely authenticating or diagnosing almost any substance or material using electromagnetic energy to create, record and detect the unique “signature” of the substance. The Company’s call these our “ChromaID™” and “Bio-RFID™” technologies.

Overview

Historically, the Company focused on the development of our proprietary ChromaID technology. Using light from low-cost LEDs (light emitting diodes) the Company’s map the color of substances, fluids and materials and with our proprietary processes we can authenticate, identify and diagnose based upon the color that is present. The color is both visible to us as humans but also outside of the humanly visible color spectrum in the near infra-red and near ultra-violet and beyond. The Company’s ChromaID scanner sees what we like to call “Nature’s Color Fingerprint.” Everything in nature has a unique color identifier and with ChromaID the Company can see it, and identify, authenticate and diagnose based upon the color that is present. The Company’s ChromaID scanner is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance or liquid using light to create, record and detect its unique color signature. The Company will continue to develop and enhance its ChromaID technology and extend its capacity. More recently, the Company has focused upon extensions and new inventions that are derived from and extend beyond our ChromaID technology. The Company’s call this technology Bio-RFID. The rapid advances made with our Bio-RFID technology in our laboratory have caused us to move quickly in to the commercialization phase of our Company as we work to create revenue generating products for the marketplace. The Company will also, as resources permit, pursue licensing opportunities with third parties who have ready applications for our technologies.

In 2010, the Company acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to its business. TransTech is a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification. TransTech currently provides substantially all of the Company’s revenues.

The Company is in the process of commercializing its ChromaID™ and Bio-RFID™ technology. To date, the Company has entered into License Agreements with Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd. In addition, it has a technology license agreement with Allied Inventors , formerly Xinova and Invention Development Management Company, a subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures.

The Company believes that its commercialization success is dependent upon its ability to significantly increase the number of customers that are purchasing and using its products. To date the Company has generated minimal revenue from sales of its ChromaID and Bio-RFID products. The Company is currently not profitable. Even if the Company succeeds in introducing the ChromaID and Bio-RFID technology and related products to its target markets, the Company may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

ChromaID was invented by scientists under contract with the Company. Bio-RFID was invented by individuals working for the Company. The Company actively pursues a robust intellectual property strategy and has been granted twelve patents. The Company also has 20 patents pending. The Company possesses all right, title and interest to the issued patents. Ten of the pending patents are licensed exclusively to the Company in perpetuity by the Company’s strategic partner, Allied Inventors.

Merger with RAAI Lighting, Inc.

On April 10, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with 500 Union Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and RAAI Lighting, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we have acquired all the outstanding shares of RAAI’s capital stock through a merger of Merger Sub with and into RAAI (the “Merger”), with RAAI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On June 25, 2018, the Company closed a private placement and received gross proceeds of $1,750,000 in exchange for issuing 7,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement to accredited investors pursuant to a series of substantially identical subscription agreements.

The initial exercise price of the warrants described above is $0.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and the warrants expire five years after their issuance.

2.	GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of $3,257,597 and $3,901,232 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,117,131 and $1,264,324 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company anticipates that it will record losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $34,791,324. The Company has limited capital resources, and operations to date have been funded with the proceeds from private equity and debt financings and loans from Ronald P. Erickson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or entities with which he is affiliated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report prepared by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

F-7

The Company believe that its cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations until March 31, 2019. We need additional financing to implement our business plan and to service our ongoing operations and pay our current debts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we will need to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and strategic collaborations. Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, and could increase our expenses and require that our assets secure such debt. Equity financing, if obtained, could result in dilution to the Company’s then-existing stockholders and/or require such stockholders to waive certain rights and preferences. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, the Company may be required to delay, scale back, eliminate the development of business opportunities or file for bankruptcy and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these unaudited condensed 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 and majority-owned subsidiaries, TransTech Systems, Inc and RAAI Lighting, Inc. Inter-Company items 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 $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required.

Inventories – Inventories consist primarily of printers and consumable supplies, including ribbons and cards, badge accessories, capture devices, and access control components held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are considered available for resale when drop shipped and invoiced directly to a customer from a vendor, or when physically received by TransTech at a warehouse location. The Company records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory whenever an impairment has been identified. There is a $35,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Equipment – Equipment consists of machinery, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and software, 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 2-10 years, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over 2-3 years.

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). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, if the life is determinable. If the life is not determinable, amortization is not recorded. We regularly perform reviews to determine if facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the useful lives of our intangible assets are shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. When an indication exists that the carrying amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Such impairment test is based on the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of those assets.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses – Research, development and engineering expenses consist of the cost of employees, consultants and contractors who design, engineer and develop new products and processes as well as materials, supplies and facilities used in producing prototypes.

F-8

The Company’s research and development efforts are primarily focused improving the core foundational ChromaID technology and developing new and unique applications for the technology. As part of this effort, the Company typically conduct testing to ensure that ChromaID application methods are compatible with the customer’s requirements, and that they can be implemented in a cost effective manner. The Company is also actively involved in identifying new application methods. Know Lab’s team has considerable experience working with the application of light-based technologies and their application to various industries. The Company believes that its continued development of new and enhanced technologies relating to our core business is essential to its future success. The Company spent $570,514 and $79,405 during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, on research and development activities.

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 September 30, 2018 and 2017 are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. 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 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.

Revenue Recognition – Know Lab and TransTech revenue are derived from products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the products or services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, the Company defers all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned.

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 to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC 505.

Convertible Securities – Based upon ASC 815-15, we have adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to convertible securities. We will evaluate our contracts based upon the earliest issuance date. In the event partial reclassification of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to our inability to demonstrate we have 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 or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2018, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 2,182,668 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 15,473,398 common shares, 4,914,071 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, we have an unknown number of shares (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share) are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures of $2,255,066. All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

F-9

As of September 30, 2017, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 15,404 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 6,900,356 common shares, 2,825,053 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and up to 332,940 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of placement agent warrants. In addition, the Company has an unknown number of shares are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures of $570,000. All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

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 our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” Topic 330, “Inventory” (ASU 2015-11). The amendments in ASU 2015-11, which apply to inventory that is measured using any method other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method, require that entities measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 should be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2015-11 effective October 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the Company’s financial statements, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under previous guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from share-based compensation arrangements were recorded in equity when the awards vested or were settled. ASU 2016-09 requires prospective recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in income tax expense, rather than paid-in-capital. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2016-09 effective October 1, 2017.The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2018.

In addition, under ASU 2016-09, excess tax income tax benefits from share-based compensation arrangements are classified as cash flow from operations, rather than as cash flow from financing activities. For the year ended September 30, 2018, there were no excess income tax benefits.

The Company has elected to continue to estimate the number of share-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur.

ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be prospectively excluded from assumed future proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares, resulting in an immaterial decrease in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended September 30, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (ASU 2017-04). The amendments in ASU 2017-04 simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the current two-step impairment test. An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value should be recognized; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017, and the ASU is effective for the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these provisions will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” Topic 842, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. ASU 2016-02 also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply the transition provisions of ASU 2016-02 at its adoption date, rather than the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, as permitted by ASU 2018-11, “Leases,” Topic 842, “Targeted Improvements,” released in July 2018.

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 may result in a material increase to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The Company is also performing a comprehensive review of its current processes to determine and implement changes required to support the adoption of this standard. The Company is currently evaluating the other effects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

F-10

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, “Leases,” Topic 842, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” (ASU 2018-01). ASU 2018-01 permits an entity to elect a transition practical expedient to not assess, under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, land easements that exist or expired before the standard’s effective date that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840. The Company plans to elect this practical expedient in implementing ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for the transfer of those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient for entities to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less, The Company plans to elect this practical expedient upon adoption.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date.” The FASB approved the deferral of ASU 2014-09, by extending the new revenue recognition standard’s mandatory effective date by one year and permitting public companies to apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.

Further to ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (ASU 2016-08) in March 2016, ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (ASU 2016-12) in May 2016 and ASU 2016-20, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (ASU 2016-20) in December 2016. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, including indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2016-12 addresses narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The Company plans to make such election. The Company also plans to elect the practical expedient in ASU 2016-20 that provides entities do not need to disclose the transaction price allocated to performance obligations when the related contracts have a duration of one year or less. This includes loyalty rewards, which can be redeemed in the month subsequent to the quarter earned, and marketing promotions that cross accounting periods. Both of these classes of transactions are currently immaterial to the Company. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are the same as for ASU 2014-09.

The Company does not plan to early adopt the new revenue recognition guidance; adoption will be on the modified retrospective basis beginning in fiscal year 2019. The Company has substantially concluded its assessment of the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Most of the Company’s revenue is expected to continue to be generated from point-of-sale transactions, which ASU 2014-09 treats generally consistent with current accounting standards. The Company does not expect this standard will have a material impact on the accounting for point-of-sale transactions or related areas including the right of return and customer incentives. Although the impact on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material, additional disclosures will be required.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” Topic 718, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (ASU 2018-07) as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce complexity when accounting for share-based payments to non-employees. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to more closely align share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The provisions of ASU 2018-07 are effective for the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted.

4. A CCOUNTS RECEIVABLE/CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Accounts receivable were $320,538 and $693,320, net of allowance, as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company had one customer in excess of 10% (25.4%) of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended September 30, 2018. The Company had four customers in excess of 10% (13.9%, 12.9%, 12.5% and 11.2%) with accounts receivable in excess of 10% as of September 30, 2018. The Company has a total allowance for bad debt in the amount of $60,000 as of September 30, 2018.

5. I NVENTORIES

6. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM BIOMEDX, INC.

On November 1, 2016, the Company purchased an Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Note from BioMedx, Inc. The Company paid $260,000 for the Note with a principal amount of $286,000. The Note matured one year from issuance and bears interest at 5%. The principal and interest was convertible into BioMedx common stock at the option of the Company. The Company received 150,000 shares of BioMedx common stock as partial consideration for purchasing the Note. In addition, if BioMedx does not repay the Promissory Note, the Company would have the right to convert the Promissory Note into 51% of the ownership of BioMedx.

In addition, the Company and BioMedx agreed to negotiate in good faith to enter into a joint development agreement and subsequent merger transaction prior to December 31, 2017.

Due to the uncertainty involved with a start-up company, The Company’s management determined that the value of the Promissory Note and BioMedx common stock was zero at December 31, 2016 and recorded an impairment reserve for the full value as of December 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, BioMedx paid the Company $290,608 in full satisfaction of the Note. The Company recorded the gain as a reduction in SG&A expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the Company has not valued the 150,000 shares of BioMedx common stock.

Merger with RAAI Lighting, Inc.

F-12

Merger with Know Labs, Inc.

RAAI had no outstanding indebtedness or assets at the closing of the Merger. The 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued for RAAI’s shares were recorded at the fair value at the date of the merger at $520,000 and the value assigned to the patent acquired with RAAI.

The fair value of the intellectual property associated with the assets acquired was $520,000 estimated by using a discounted cash flow approach based on future economic benefits. In summary, the estimate was based on a projected income approach and related discounted cash flows over five years, with applicable risk factors assigned to assumptions in the forecasted results.

9. GOODWILL

The Company’s TransTech business is very capital intensive. The Company reviewed TransTech’s operations based on its overall financial constraints and determined the value has been impaired. The company recorded an impairment of goodwill associated with TransTech of $983,645 during the year ended September 30, 2017.

10. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Accounts payable were $1,512,618 and $2,154,646 as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Such liabilities consisted of amounts due to vendors for inventory purchases and technology development, external audit, legal and other expenses incurred by the Company. The Company had two vendors (13.2% and 10.2%) with accounts payable in excess of 10% of its accounts payable as of September 30, 2018. The Company does expect to have vendors with accounts payable balances of 10% of total accounts payable in the foreseeable future.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement that provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in the pronouncement on accounting for derivatives. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or “down-round” provisions). For example, warrants or conversion features with such provisions are no longer recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.

There was no derivative liability as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded non-cash loss of $217,828 related to the “change in fair value of derivative” expense related to its derivative instruments. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 and has reclassified its financial instrument with down round features to equity in the amount of $410,524.

12. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible notes payable as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 consisted of the following:

Convertible Promissory Note dated September 30, 2016

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a $210,000 Convertible Promissory Note with Clayton A. Struve, an accredited investor of the Company, to fund short-term working capital. The Convertible Promissory Note accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum and was due on March 30, 2017. The Note holder can convert the Note into common stock at $0.70 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded interest of $21,000 related to the convertible note. This note was extended in the Securities Purchase Agreement, General Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement dated August 14, 2017 with a maturity date of August 13, 2018. Also, the conversion price of the Debenture was adjusted to $0.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The balance was increased $75,000 during the year ended September 30, 2018. On November 16, 2018, we signed Amendment 1 to Senior Secured Convertible Redeemable Notes dated September 30, 2016extending the due dates of the Note to February 27, 2019. On September 24, 2018, Mr. Struve converted $200,000 of the Note into 800,000 shares of our common stock. The Company recorded accrued interest of $54,671 as of September 30, 2018.

F-13

Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2017

On August 14, 2017, the Company issued a senior convertible exchangeable debenture with a principal amount of $360,000 and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 1,440,000 shares of common stock in a private placement to Clayton Struve for gross proceeds of $300,000 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2017. The debenture accrues interest at 20% per annum and matures August 13, 2018. The convertible debenture contains a beneficial conversion valued at $110,629. The warrants were valued at $111,429. Because the note is immediately convertible, the warrants and beneficial conversion were expensed as interest.

13. EQUITY

Authorized Capital Stock

The Company authorized 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 are shares preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Company has authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. As of September 30, 2018, we had 17,531,502 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held by 122 shareholders of record. The number of shareholders, including beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names, is approximately 2,300. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote, and no cumulative voting for directors is permitted. Shareholders do not have any preemptive rights to acquire additional securities issued by us. As of September 30, 2018, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 2,182,668 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 15,473,398 common shares and 4,914,071 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. We have Convertible Note Payable of $2,255,066 (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share). All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

F-15

Voting Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.

Series A Preferred Stock

In July 2015, the Company sold Series A Preferred Stock to two investors for a total of $350,000. As of December 21, 2018, the Company had 20,000 Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred, the Company also issued (i) a Series C five-year Warrant for 2 shares of common stock and (ii) a Series D five-year Warrant for 23,334 shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series C and D Warrants currently have no registration rights.

On August 14, 2017, the price of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C and D Warrants were adjusted to $0.25 per share pursuant to the documents governing such instruments.

Series C and D Preferred Stock and Warrants

On August 5, 2016, the Company closed a Series C Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Clayton A. Struve, an accredited investor for the purchase of $1,250,000 of preferred stock with a conversion price of $0.70 per share. The preferred stock has a yield of 8% and an ownership blocker of 4.99%. In addition, Mr. Struve received a five-year warrant to acquire 1,785,714 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share.

To determine the effective conversion price, a portion of the proceeds received by the Company upon issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock was first allocated to the freestanding warrants issued as part of this transaction. Given that the warrants will not subsequently be measured at fair value, the Company determined that the warrants should receive an allocation of the proceeds based on their relative fair value. This is based on the understanding that the FASB staff and the SEC staff believe that a freestanding instrument issued in a basket transaction should be initially measured at fair value if it is required to be subsequently measured at fair value pursuant to US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), with the residual proceeds from the transaction allocated to any remaining instruments based on their relative fair values. As such, the warrants were allocated a fair value of approximately $514,706 upon issuance, with the remaining $735,294 of proceeds allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock.

Having determined the effective conversion price, the Company then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $1.06 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.65 per share. As such, the Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature and an accounting entry and additional financial statement disclosure was required.

Because our preferred stock is perpetual, with no stated maturity date, and the conversions may occur any time from inception, the dividend is recognized immediately when a beneficial conversion exists at issuance. During the year ending September 30, 2016, the Company recognized preferred stock dividends of $1.16 million on Series C preferred stock related to the beneficial conversion feature arising from a common stock effective conversion rate of $0.41 versus a current market price of $1.06 per common share.

On November 14, 2016, the Company issued 187,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock in a private placement to certain accredited investors for gross proceeds of $150,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated November 10, 2016.

F-16

The warrants associated with the November 14, 2016 issuance were allocated a fair value of approximately $56,539 upon issuance, with the remaining $63,539 of net proceeds allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock. Proportionately, this allocation resulted in approximately 53% of the amount of the Series D Preferred Stock issuance remaining, which applied to the stated conversion price of $0.80 resulted in an effective conversion price of approximately $0.34. Having determined the effective conversion price, the Company then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $1.14 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.80 per share. As such, the Company concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature of $150,211 which was recorded as a beneficial conversion in stockholders’ equity.

On December 19, 2016, the Company issued 187,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock in a private placement to an accredited investor for gross proceeds of $150,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 14, 2016.

The warrants associated with the December 19, 2016 issuance were allocated a fair value of approximately $60,357 upon issuance, with the remaining $69,643 of net proceeds allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock. Proportionately, this allocation resulted in approximately 54% of the amount of the Series D Preferred Stock issuance remaining, which applied to the stated conversion price of $0.80 resulted in an effective conversion price of approximately $0.37. Having determined the effective conversion price, the Company then compared this to the fair value of the underlying Common Stock as of the commitment date, which was approximately $0.81 per share, and concluded that the conversion feature did have an intrinsic value of $0.44 per share. As such, the Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock did contain a beneficial conversion feature of $82,232 which was recorded as a beneficial conversion in stockholders’ equity.

Because the Company’s preferred stock is perpetual, with no stated maturity date, and the conversions may occur any time from inception, the dividend is recognized immediately when a beneficial conversion exists at issuance. During the year ending September 30, 2017, the Company recognized preferred stock dividends of $2.3 million on Series D preferred stock related to the beneficial conversion feature arising from a common stock effective conversion rate of $0.34 and $0.37 versus the original market price of $1.14 and $1.06 per common share, respectively.

On May 1, 2017, the Company issued 357,143 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 357,143 shares of common stock in a private placement to an accredited investor for gross proceeds of $250,000 pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 2016.

On July 17, 2018, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Powers, and Rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The Amended Certificate restates the prior Certificate of Designation filed on May 8, 2017 to decrease the number of authorized Series D shares from 3,906,250 shares to 1,016,014 shares. No other amendments were made to the preferences and rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The filing of the Amended Certificate was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series F Preferred Stock

On August 1, 2018, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation establishing the Designations, Preferences, Limitations and Relative Rights of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Designation”). The Designation authorized 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Preferred Stock shall only be issued to the current Board of Directors on the date of the Designation’s filing and is not convertible into common stock. As set forth in the Designation, the Series F Preferred Stock has no rights to dividends or liquidation preference and carries rights to vote 100,000 shares of common stock per share of Series F upon a Trigger Event, as defined in the Designation. A Trigger Event includes certain unsolicited bids, tender offers, proxy contests, and significant share purchases, all as described in the Designation. Unless and until a Trigger Event, the Series F shall have no right to vote. The Series F Preferred Stock shall remain issued and outstanding until the date which is 731 days after the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock (“Explosion Date”), unless a Trigger Event occurs, in which case the Explosion Date shall be extended by 183 days.

14.	STOCK OPTIONS

Determining Fair Value under ASC 505

The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model for estimating fair value of stock options granted under our plan. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options on a ratable basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the volatility of our common stock based on the historical volatility of its own common stock over the most recent period corresponding with the estimated expected life of the award. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and adjusts share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed.

17. INCOME TAXES

The Company has incurred losses since inception, which have generated net operating loss carryforwards. The net operating loss carryforwards arise from United States sources.

Pretax losses arising from United States operations were approximately $3,258,000 for the year ended September 30, 2018.

Pretax losses arising from United States operations were approximately $3,901,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27,352,000, which expire in 2022-2036. Because it is not more likely than not that sufficient tax earnings will be generated to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, a corresponding valuation allowance of approximately $5,744,000 was established as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and benefits from, net operating losses may be limited in certain circumstances, including a change in control.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its stock ownership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future. The Company is subject to possible tax examination for the years 2012 through 2018

For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate principally due to net operating losses and warrants issued for services.

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Reform Act). The Tax Reform Act significantly revises the future ongoing federal income tax by, among other things, lowering U.S. corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018. The Company has calculated a blended U.S. federal income tax rate of approximately 21% for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 and 21.0% for subsequent fiscal years. Remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax balance under the Tax Reform Act resulted in a non-cash tax benefit reduction of approximately $2.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2018.

The changes included in the Tax Reform Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Tax Reform Act may differ from the above estimate due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Reform Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Reform Act and any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Reform Act.

The principal components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	2018	2017
U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 21%	$ (5,743,840 )	$ (5,804,285 )
Non-U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 20.5%	-	-
Total	(5,743,840 )	(5,804,285 )
Less Valuation Allowance	5,743,840	5,804,285
Net Deferred Tax Assets	-	-
Change in Valuation allowance	$ 60,445	$ (1,036,276 )

A reconciliation of the United States Federal Statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	2018	2017
Federal Statutory Rate	-21.0 %	-21.0 %
Increase in Income Taxes Resulting from:
Change in Valuation allowance	21.0 %	21.0 %
Effective Tax Rate	0.0 %	0.0 %
