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 and commercialization of proprietary technologies which are capable of uniquely identifying and measuring almost any material or analyte using electromagnetic energy to detect, record, identify and measure the unique “signature” of said materials or analytes. The Company’s call these its “Bio-RFID™” technology platform when pertaining to radio and microwave spectroscopy; and “ChromaID™” technology platform when pertaining to optical spectroscopy.

 

ChromaID is the first technology developed and patented by the Company. More recently, the Company has focused upon extensions and new patentable inventions that are derived from and extend beyond our ChromaID technology and intellectual property. The Company calls this new technology platform “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. Today, the sole focus of the Company is on its Bio-RFID technology, its commercialization and development of related patent assets. 

 

On April 30, 2020 the Company incorporated a subsidiary corporation, Particle, Inc. for the purpose of research and development on non-core Company intellectual property.  The first research activity, undertaken by a separate Particle team has been on standard threaded light bulbs that have a warm white light that can inactivate germs, including bacteria and viruses. On June 1, 2020, the Company approved and ratified entry into an intercompany Patent License Agreement dated May 21, 2020 with Particle. Pursuant to the Agreement, Particle received an exclusive non-transferrable license to use certain patents and trademarks of the Company, in exchange the Company shall receive: (i) a one-time fee of $250,000 upon a successful financing of Particle, and (ii) a quarterly royalty payment equal to the greater of 5% of the Gross Sales, net of returns, from Particle or $5,000. As of June 30, 2021 the operations of Particle have generated no sales and operations are just commencing. The first product, the Particle bulb can be used in households, businesses and other facilities to inactivate bacteria and viruses.  Through internal preliminary testing, Particle personnel has confirmed the bulb’s efficacy in inactivating common germs such as E. coli and Staphylococcus. Preliminary study results from Texas Biomedical Research Institute indicate the Particle bulb’s ability to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.  The Particle team is working on certification, labeling, product manufacturing and related go-to-market requirements; as well as business development activities related to interest from potential strategic and channel partners in both consumer and business applications.

 

In 2010, the Company acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to the Company’s business. TransTech was a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification and authentication. TransTech historically provided substantially all of the Company’s revenues.  The financial results from our TransTech subsidiary had been diminishing as vendors of their products increasingly moved to the Internet and direct sales to their customers.  While it did provide our current revenues, it was not central to our current focus as a Company.  Moreover, the Company wrote down any goodwill associated with its historic acquisition. TransTech ceased operation on June 30, 2020.
