Current report
While lack of access to capital has hindered our ability to continue with human testing, we have continued to explore the capacity of our sensor technology to perform detailed non-invasive analytics in areas of importance in both medical diagnostics and industrial applications. Recently we concluded detailed laboratory work where our sensor non-invasively determined minute differences in pH levels through PVC pipe with no direct contact with the analyte.
Current report
That work was recently published in the peer reviewed study entitledContactless Detection of pH Change in a Liquid Analyte.
Current report
In that study, published in Sensors journal, we describe an experiment in which we employ our radiofrequency sensor to measure pH changes in a liquid solution. The experiment is novel in a few ways. First, the sensor does not have contact with the liquid but rather detects the change from the outside of a PVC pipe. Second, the change is detected using a Linear Discriminant Analysis model using values from an inverse Fourier transform of the frequency data as its features. We believe this to be the first use of Fourier analysis in contactless pH measurement using radio frequencies.
Current report
Accurate and reliable measurement of pH levels is vital across a broad range of applications, including industrial processes, agricultural and environmental monitoring, and biomedical diagnostics. Conventional methods, such as optical and electrode-based pH meters, are widely used due to their demonstrated accuracy and ease of use. However, these methods have limitations, primarily stemming from the need for direct contact with the analyte.

We may, although we cannot guarantee that we will, create other such subsidiaries over time. Additionally, we may license our intellectual property to third parties so that they may pursue activities that are not a part of our core focus.
Current report
We issued a press releases on January 21, 2025 and on February 6, 2025 relating to the announcement of and the creation of the Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) program. KTL is a formalized approach for licensing the many diverse applications in numerous fields of use for our platform RF dialectic spectroscopy technology became operational on February 2, 2026.
Current report
On September 27, 2024, we received a notification from the NYSE American stating that our company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). On October 27, 2024, we submitted a plan (the “Plan”) of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2026. On December 10, 2024, we received notice from the NYSE American that it had accepted our plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards and granted a plan period through March 27, 2026.
Current report
On January 29, 2025, NYSE American publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that the NYSE Regulation has suspended trading of, and determined to commence proceedings to delist, the Company’s common stock from NYSE American. NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide due to the low selling price of the Common Stock.
Current report
On February 18, 2025, FINRA announced at reverse stock split a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which became effective February 19, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split was effected for the primary purpose of meeting the per share price requirements for our Common Stock in order to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE American.
Current report
On February 28, 2025, the staff of NYSE Regulation withdrew its delisting determination and lifted the trading suspension of our common stock on the NYSE American. The NYSE Regulation staff determined that the Company's common stock was now trading above the threshold of low selling price as described in Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide. The Know Labs common stock resumed trading on the NYSE American on March 5, 2025, under the symbol "KNW” and CUSIP “499238202.”
Current report
Notwithstanding the lifting of the trading suspension, we continue to remain subject to its previously disclosed plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards, which was accepted by the NYSE American on December 10, 2024. As noted in its press release on December 11, 2024, Know Labs has been granted a target completion date of March 27, 2026, to implement its plan and regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide.
Current report
If we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2026, or if it does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE American may again initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. We intend to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listings standards by such date; however, there is no assurance that Know Labs will be able to accomplish this.
Current report
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are the Company’s CODM. The CODM monitors the expense components of the various products and services we offer, but operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporation-wide basis in comparison to a business plan which is developed each year. Accordingly, all operations are considered by management to be one operating segment and one reportable segment as contained in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to the consolidated financial statements. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as its required measure of segment profit/loss, as such measure is determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

Our technology provides a unique platform upon which we believe a myriad of applications can be developed. We believe that our radio frequency dielectric spectroscopy technology is an “enabling” technology that brings the science of electromagnetic energy to low-cost, real-world commercialization opportunities across multiple industries. Our technology is foundational, based upon “first principals of physics” and, as such, the basis upon which we believe significant businesses can be built. While we continue to pursue our work on a non-invasive continuous blood glucose monitor, we believe non-core clinical, non-clinical and medical research applications represent a multitude of opportunities for strategic collaboration, joint development, and licensing agreements with leading companies in their respective industries. Additionally, certain fields of use of our platform technology could provide the core element of a “spin-off” company. It is this belief, and our desire to generate near-term revenues for the company, along with numerous inquiries from third parties, that prompted the development of Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL).
