EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Know Labs Inc. (the “Company”) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, as originally filed with SEC on May 15, 2019 (“Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in their entirety and related disclosures (including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. Consequently, the previously filed unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 should no longer be relied upon.
 
In connection with the review of the Form 10-Q for the Company for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, management determined that previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements issued for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 contained an error which was non-cash in nature. The Company received proceeds from convertible promissory notes which are mandatorily convertible into equity after a one year term.  The Company originally classified the proceeds as equity.  They should have properly been classified as debt and footnoted to explain that they would become equity at the end of their term.  Certain expenditures related to warrants attached to the debt offering were not properly accounted for as well.
 
The original and restated accounts are detailed below:

The Company evaluated the impact of this error under the SEC’s authoritative guidance on materiality and determined that the impact of this error for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements was material. On January 22, 2020, after review by our independent registered public accounting firm and legal counsel, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the Company should restate our unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 to reflect the correction of the previously identified error in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for this period.
 
Although this Form 10-Q/A supersedes the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements issued for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 in its entirety, this Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Item 1 and certain provisions of Item 2 and Item 4 of Part I as a result of and to reflect the restatements, as well as immaterial conforming changes to other Items. No other information in the Original Filing is amended hereby. While the foregoing items have been updated, this amended report does not reflect any other events occurring after the Original Filing. In addition, currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, respectively.
 
No other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after May 15, 2019, the filing date of the Form 10-Q or modify or update the disclosures presented therein, except to reflect the amendment described above.

KNOW LABS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Know Labs, Inc, formerly Visualant, Incorporated (“the Company”, “us,” “we,” or “our”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal periods presented have been included.
 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 21, 2018. The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year, or for any other fiscal period. 
 
1.      
ORGANIZATION
 
Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. 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 anddiagnose 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 into 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 has provided all of the Company’s revenues.
 
The Company is in the process of commercializing its 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.

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.
 
Merger with Know Labs, Inc.
 
On May 1, 2018, Know Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 3, 2018, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into the Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 1, 2018. In connection with the merger, our Articles of Incorporation were effectively amended to change our name to Know Labs, Inc. by and through the filing of Articles of Merger. This parent-subsidiary merger was approved by us, the parent, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes Section 92A.180. Stockholder approval was not required. This amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and became effective on May 1, 2018.
 
Corporate Name Change and Symbol Change
 
On May 24, 2018, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced the effectiveness of a change in our name from Visualant Incorporated to Know Labs, Inc. and a change in our ticker symbol from VSUL to the new trading symbol KNWN which became effective on the opening of trading as of May 25, 2018. In addition, in connection with the name change and symbol change, we were assigned the CUSIP number of 499238103.
 
Restatement of Form 10-Q for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2019
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the quarterly report on Form 10-Q the Company for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, as originally filed with SEC on May 15, 2019. This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in their entirety and related disclosures (including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. Consequently, the previously filed unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 should no longer be relied upon.
 
In connection with the review of the Form 10-Q for the Company for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, management determined that previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements issued for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 contained an error which was non-cash in nature. The Company received proceeds from convertible promissory notes which are mandatorily convertible into equity after a one year term.  The Company originally classified the proceeds as equity.  They should have properly been classified as debt and footnoted to explain that they would become equity at the end of their term.  Certain expenditures related to warrants attached to the debt offering were not properly accounted for as well.
 
See explanatory note for additional details.
 
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 $2,211,411, $3,257,597 and $3,901,232 for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,147,510, $1,117,131 and $1,264,324 for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 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 March 31, 2019, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $37,002,765.  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.
 
The Company believes that its cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations until December 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.

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 March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, 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.
 
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 $391,014, $570,514 and $79,405 during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, on research and development activities.
 
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).  The hierarchy consists of three levels:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
 
Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and.
 
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.

Derivative financial instruments -We evaluate 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.
 
Accounts Receivable and Revenue – We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires the application of the five-step-principles-based-accounting-model for revenue recognition. These steps include (1) a legally enforceable contract, written or unwritten is identified; (2) performance obligations in the contracts are identified; (3) the transaction price reflecting variable consideration, if any, is identified; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when the control of goods is transferred to the customer at a particular time or over time. For TransTech, we extend thirty day terms to some customers. Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically for collectability.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - We maintain an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. It is our practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, our estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. We record estimated uncollectible accounts receivable as selling, general and administrative expense. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there was a reserve for sales returns of $60,000, which is minimal based upon our historical experience.
 
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 718.
 
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. As of March 31, 2019, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 2,282,668 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 17,572,583 common shares, and 4,894,071 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company currently has 12,829,329 common shares (9,020,264 common shares at the current price of $0.25 per share and 3,808,975 common shares at the current price of $1.00 per share) and are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures of $6,060,041. All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.
 
As of March 31, 2018, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 4,736 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 11,837,422 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. In addition, the Company has an unknown number of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures of $2,390,066. All of which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.
 
 
10
 
 
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
 
On October 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and its related amendments, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606, using the modified retrospective approach, had no significant impact to our accumulated deficit as of October 1, 2018 and no significant impact to the total net cash from or used in operating, investing, or financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which will replace the existing guidance in ASC 840, “Leases.” The FASB has also issued amendments to ASU 2016-02, including ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11), which the Company collectively refers to as the new leasing standard. The Company’s outstanding leases primarily relate to its two facility leases Seattle, Washington. In conjunction with these leases, the Company adopted this new retrospectively on July 1, 2019 and recognized a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The retrospect adjustment did not require any adjustment to previously reported equity.
 
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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.
 
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 converted into the right to receive 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company 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.

Merger with Know Labs, Inc.
 
On May 1, 2018, Know Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 3, 2018, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into the Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 1, 2018. In connection with the merger, our Articles of Incorporation were effectively amended to change our name to Know Labs, Inc. by and through the filing of Articles of Merger. This parent-subsidiary merger was approved by us, the parent, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes Section 92A.180. Stockholder approval was not required. This amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and became effective on May 1, 2018.
 
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.
 
8. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
 
Accounts payable were $1,298,278 and $1,517,617 as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, 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 (12.3% and 10.0%) with accounts payable in excess of 10% of its accounts payable as of March 31, 2019. The Company does expect to have vendors with accounts payable balances of 10% of total accounts payable in the foreseeable future.
 
9.  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 March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
 
10. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
 
Convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 consisted of the following:
 
Convertible Promissory Notes with Clayton A. Struve
 
As of March 31, 2019, the Company owes Clayton A. Struve $1,071,000 under convertible promissory or OID notes. The Company recorded accrued interest of $58,411 as of March 31, 2019. On May 8, 2019, the Company signed Amendment 2 to the convertible promissory or OID notes, extending the due dates to September 30, 2019.
 
Convertible Redeemable Promissory Notes with Ronald P. Erickson and J3E2A2Z
 
On March 16, 2018, the Company entered into a Note and Account Payable Conversion Agreement 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 together with a warrant to purchase up to 1,039,666 shares of common stock of the Company for a period of five years. The initial exercise price of the warrants described above is $0.50 per share, also subject to certain adjustments. The warrants were valued at $110,545. Because the note is immediately convertible, the warrants and beneficial conversion were expensed as interest. The Company recorded accrued interest of $41,361 as of March 31, 2019. On May 8, 2019, the Company signed Amendment 1 to the convertible redeemable promissory notes, extending the due dates to September 30, 2019 and increasing the interest rate to 6%.

Debt Offering
 
As of March 31, 2019, the Company closed rounds of a debt offering and received gross proceeds of $3,809,976 in exchange for issuing Subordinated Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”) in a private placement to 35 accredited investors, pursuant to a series of substantially identical Securities Purchase Agreements, Common Stock Warrants, and related documents.
 
The Convertible Notes have a principal amount of $3,809,976 and bear annual interest of 8%. Both the principal amount and the interest are payable on a payment-in-kind basis in shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). They are due and payable (in Common Stock) on the earlier of (a) mandatory and automatic conversion of the Convertible Notes into a financing that yields gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 (a “Qualified Financing”) or (b) on the one-year anniversary of the Convertible Notes (the “Maturity Date”). Investors will be required to convert their Convertible Notes into Common Stock in any Qualified Financing at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) a 25% discount to the price per share paid by investors in the Qualified Financing. If the Convertible Notes have not been paid or converted prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes will be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the lesser of (a) $1.00 per share or (b) any adjusted price resulting from the application of a “most favored nations” provision, which requires the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to investors if the Company issues certain securities at less than the then-current conversion price.
 
The Warrants were granted on a 1:0.5 basis (one-half Warrant for each full share of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible). The Warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price equal to 120% of the per share conversion price of the Qualified Financing or other mandatory conversion.
 
The Convertible Notes are initially convertible into 3,809,976 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments, and the Warrants are initially exercisable for 1,904,988 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share of Common Stock, also subject to certain adjustments.
 
In connection with the debt offering, the placement agent for the Convertible Notes and the Warrants received a cash fee of $368,322 and warrants to purchase 487,197 shares of the Company’s common stock, all based on 8-10% of gross proceeds to the Company. The placement agent has also received a $25,000 advisory fee. The warrants issued for these services had a fair value of $988,876 at the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as debt discount (with an offset to APIC) and will be amortized over the one-year term of the Convertible Notes. The $368,322 cash fee was recorded as issuance costs and will be amortized over the one-year term of the related Convertible Notes.
 
As part of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which grants the investors “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the exercise of the Warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale or other disposition. In addition, the Convertible Notes are subordinated to certain senior debt of the Company pursuant to a Subordination Agreement executed by the investors.
 
The Convertible Notes and Warrants 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.
 
In accordance to ASC 470-20-30, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the guidance therein applies to both convertible debt and other similar instruments, including convertible preferred shares. The guidance states that “the allocation of proceeds shall be based on the relative fair values of the two instruments at time of issuance. When warrants are issued in conjunction with a debt instrument as consideration in purchase transactions, the amounts attributable to each class of instrument issued shall be determined separately, based on values at the time of issuance. The debt discount or premium shall be determined by comparing the value attributed to the debt instrument with the face amount thereof.
 
In conjunction with the issuance of Convertible Notes and the Warrants, the Company recorded a debt discount of $1,570,049 associated with a beneficial conversion feature on the debt, which is being accreted using the effective interest method over the one-year term of the Convertible Notes. Intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. In accordance to ASC 470-20-30, if the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument. During the six months ended March 31, 2019, amortization of $233,864 of the beneficial conversion feature was recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Warrants were indexed to our own stock and no down round provision was identified. The Warrants were not subject to ASC 718. Therefore, the Company concluded that based upon the conversion features, the Warrants should not be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The fair value of the Warrants was $1,244,263 and was recorded as Debt Discount (with an offset to APIC) on the date of issuance and amortized over the one-year term of the notes. During the six months ended March 31, 2019, amortization of the warrants was $86,656 and is presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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. 
 
Determining Fair Value under ASC 718
 
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.

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 into 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. We expect it to wind down completely prior to the end of our current fiscal year.
 
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.
 
 
 
 
22
 
 
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 our newly developed 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 and a half, we have developed extensions and new inventions derived in part from our ChromaID technology which we refer to as Bio-RFID technology. We are rapidly advancing the development of this technology. We have announced over the past several months that we have successfully been able to non-invasively ascertain blood glucose levels in humans. 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 also 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 (FDA) approval of our non-invasive continuous blood glucose monitoring device during calendar year 2019. To guide us in that undertaking we have announced the hiring of a Chief Medical Officer and formed a Medical and Regulatory Advisory Board to guide us through the FDA process. We are unable, however, 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 more than 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, a spin-off entity of Intellectual Ventures, an intellectual property fund.
 
Our Patents and Intellectual Property
 
We believe that our 12 patents, more than 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.
