The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“INVO” or the “Company”) is a healthcare services fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. The Company’s commercialization strategy is focused on the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering the INVOcell and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), the acquisition of US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) clinics (with one such clinic acquired in August 2023) and the sale and distribution of our technology solution into existing fertility clinics. The Company’s proprietary technology, INVOcell, is a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman’s body. This treatment solution is the world’s first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. The Company presents noncontrolling interest within the equity section of its consolidated balance sheets and the amount of consolidated net income (loss) that is attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interest in its consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting when it owns an interest in an entity whereby it can exert significant influence over but cannot control the entity’s operations.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

The Company considers events or transactions that have occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, but prior to the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the SEC in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure, as applicable. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

The Company accounts for all business acquisitions at fair value and expenses acquisition costs as they are incurred. Any identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. If information about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date is incomplete at the end of the reporting period in which a business acquisition occurs, the Company will report provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. The measurement period ends once the Company receives sufficient information to finalize the fair values; however, the period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIE”), where the Company is the primary beneficiary under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary when, along with its affiliates and agents, the primary beneficiary has both: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reconsiders whether an entity is still a VIE only upon certain triggering events and continually assesses its consolidated VIEs to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary. See “Note 3 – Variable Interest Entities” for additional information on the Company’s VIEs.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalents balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method as a cost flow method.

The Company records property and equipment at cost. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 3 to 10 years. The Company capitalizes the expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss recognized. There was no impairment recorded during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022.

ASC 825-10-50, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. ASC 820-10 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. ASC 820-10 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and its domestic tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in multiple state jurisdictions. The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including taxable income in prior carryback years, reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. To the extent the Company does not consider it more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established.

Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company ~~did not have~~had cash balances in excess of FDIC limits.

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the new revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:

Revenue generated from the sale of INVOcell is typically recognized at the time the product is shipped, at which time the title passes to the customer, and there are no further performance obligations.

Revenue generated from clinical and lab services related at the Company’s affiliated INVO Centers is typically recognized at the time the service is performed.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”). This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service or based on performance goals in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.

Basic loss per share calculations are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

The Company has excluded the following dilutive securities from the calculation of fully diluted shares outstanding because the result would have been anti-dilutive:

Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs primarily through revenue collection, equity financings, and convertible notes. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $~~4.8~~6.0 million and $~~5.6~~8.1 million, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $~~54.6~~55.8 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Approximately $~~1.4~~2.1 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to $~~1.6~~2.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings to meet its needs for cash flow used in operating and investing activities. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $~~2.7~~5.8 million for the sale of its common stock par value $0.0001per share (“Common Stock”) as well as approximately $~~0.7~~3.2 million from the sale of convertible notes. ~~During the first six months of 2022, the Company received proceeds of approximately $0.3~~ ~~million for the sale of Common Stock.~~ Over the next 12 months, the Company’s plan includes opening additional INVO Centers ~~completing the acquisition of Wisconsin Fertility Institute~~ and pursuing additional IVF clinic acquisitions. Until the Company can generate positive cash from operations, it will need to raise additional funding to meet its liquidity needs and to execute its business strategy. As in the past, the Company will seek debt and/or equity financing, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Although the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and the Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses as it continues to ~~ramp up the commercialization of INVOcell and~~ develop new INVO Centers. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in the Company.

On August 10, 2023, INVO, through Wood Violet Fertility LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and wholly owned subsidiary of INVO Centers LLC (“INVO CTR”), a Delaware company wholly-owned by INVO, consummated its acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”) for a combined purchase price of $10 million, of which $2.5 million was paid on the closing date (net cash paid was $2,150,000 after a $350,000 holdback) plus assumption of the inter-company loan owed by WFRSA (as defined below) in the amount of $528,756. The remaining three installments of $2.5 million each will be paid on the subsequent three anniversaries of closing. The sellers have the option to take all or a portion of the final three installments in shares of INVO common stock valued at $125.00, $181.80, and $285.80, for the second, third, and final installments, respectively.

WFI is comprised of (a) a medical practice, Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C., a Wisconsin professional service corporation d/b/a Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFRSA”), and (b) a laboratory services company, Fertility Labs of Wisconsin, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“FLOW”). WFRSA owns, operates and manages WFI’s fertility practice that provides direct treatment to patients focused on fertility, gynecology and obstetrics care and surgical procedures, and employs physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver such services and procedures. FLOW provides WFRSA with related laboratory services.

INVO purchased the non-medical assets of WFRSA and one hundred percent of FLOW’s membership interests. The Buyer and WFRSA entered into a management services agreement pursuant to which WFRSA outsourced all its non-medical activities to the Buyer.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include WFI’s results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, WFI’s results of operations are included from the acquisition date of August 10, 2023 through September 30, 2023. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 assume the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2023:

Pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events actually occurred at the beginning of the periods presented and is not intended to be a projection of future results. The share and per share data have been retroactively reflected for the acquisition.

On June 28, 2021, INVO CTR entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “Bloom Agreement”) with Bloom Fertility, LLC (“Bloom”) to establish a joint venture entity, formed as “Bloom INVO LLC” (the “Georgia JV”), for the purposes of commercializing INVOcell, and the related IVC procedure, through the establishment of an INVO Center (the “Atlanta Clinic”) in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.

In consideration for INVO’s commitment to contribute up to $800,000 within the 24-month period following the execution of the Bloom Agreement to support the start-up operations of the Georgia JV, the Georgia JV issued 800 of its units to INVO CTR and in consideration for Bloom’s commitment to contribute physician services having an anticipated value of up to $1,200,000 over the course of a 24-month vesting period, the Georgia JV issued 1,200 of its units to Bloom.

The responsibilities of Bloom include providing all medical services required for the operation of the Atlanta Clinic. The responsibilities of INVO CTR include providing certain funding to the Georgia JV, lab services quality management, and providing access to and being the exclusive provider of the INVOcell to the Georgia JV. INVO CTR also performs all required, industry specific compliance and accreditation functions, and product documentation for product registration.

The Bloom Agreement provides Bloom with a “profits interest” in the Georgia JV and, in connection with such profits interest, states that profits and losses be allocated to its members based on a hypothetical liquidation of the Georgia JV. In such a scenario, liquidation proceeds would be distributed in the following order: (a) to INVO CTR until the difference between its capital contributions and distributions equals $0; (b) to Bloom until its distributions equal 150% of the liquidation amounts distributed to INVO CTR (a “catch-up” to rebalance the distributions between members); and (c) thereafter on a pro rata basis. The Georgia JV had no assets or liabilities at the time the units were issued, and, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, INVO CTR had made capital contributions greater than the net loss of the Georgia JV. As such, the entire net loss was allocated to INVO CTR, and no loss was allocated to the noncontrolling interest of Bloom.

The Company determined the Georgia JV is a VIE, and that the Company is its primary beneficiary because the Company has an obligation to absorb losses that are potentially significant and the Company controls the majority of the activities that impact the Georgia JV’s economic performance, specifically control of the INVOcell and lab services quality management. As a result, the Company consolidated the Georgia JV’s results with its own. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company invested $0.9 million in the Georgia JV in the form of capital contributions as well as $0.5 million in the form of a note. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Georgia JV recorded net losses of $0.1 million and $~~0.3~~0.2 million respectively. Noncontrolling interest in the Georgia JV was $0.

On March 10, 2021, INVO CTR entered into a limited liability company agreement with HRCFG, LLC (“HRCFG”) to form a joint venture for the purpose of establishing an INVO Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The name of the joint venture entity is HRCFG INVO, LLC (the “Alabama JV”). The Company also provides certain funding to the Alabama JV. Each party owns 50% of the Alabama JV.

The Company determined the Alabama JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company ~~will use~~uses the equity method to account for its interest in the Alabama JV. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company invested $~~1.6~~1.5 million in the Alabama JV in the form of a note. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Alabama JV recorded net income of $232 thousand, of which the Company recognized a gain from equity method investments of $~~805~~16. thousand. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Alabama JV recorded a net loss of $0.3 million, of which the Company recognized a loss from equity method investments of $0.2million.

On September 24, 2020, INVO CTR entered into a Pre-Incorporation and Shareholders Agreement with Francisco Arredondo, MD PLLC (“Arredondo”) and Security Health LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Ramirez”, and together with INVO CTR and Arredondo, the “Shareholders”) under which the Shareholders will commercialize the IVC procedure and offer related medical treatments in Mexico. Each party owns one-third of the Mexican incorporated company, Positib Fertility, S.A. de C.V. (the “Mexico JV”).

The Company determined the Mexico JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company ~~will use~~uses the equity method to account for its interest in the Mexico JV. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company invested $0.1 million in the Mexico JV. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Mexico JV recorded net losses of $740.1 ~~thousand~~million and $900.1 ~~thousand,~~million, respectively, of which the Company recognized a loss from equity method investments of $2448 thousand and $3047 thousand, respectively.

Schedule of Earnings from Investments in Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The following tables summarize the combined unaudited financial information of our unconsolidated VIEs:

Schedule of Financial Information of Investments in Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company sells the INVOcell to its consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs and anticipates continuing to do so in the ordinary course of business. All intercompany transactions with consolidated entities are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Per ASC 323-10-35-8 the Company eliminates any sales to an unconsolidated VIE for INVOcell inventory that the VIE still has remaining on the books at period end.

The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for equipment are as follows as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $~~19,705~~20,504 and $~~21,630~~19,279, respectively.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $~~38,792~~59,296 and $~~36,725~~56,004, respectively.

The Company capitalizes the initial expense related to establishing patents by country and then amortizes the expense over the life of the patent, typically 20 years. It then expenses annual filing fees to maintain the patents. The Company regularly reviews the value of its patents in the marketplace in proportion to the expense it must spend to maintain the patent. The Company fully impaired its patents as of December 31, 2022.

During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $~~nil~~0 and $~~452~~453, respectively.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $~~nil~~0 and $~~904~~1,357, respectively.

The trademarks have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized. Trademarks are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company fully impaired its trademarks as of December 31, 2022.

The Company has various operating lease agreements in place for its office and joint ventures. Per FASB’s ASU 2016-02, Leases Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”), effective January 1, 2019, the Company is required to report a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability to report the present value of the total lease payments, with appropriate interest calculation. Per the terms of ASU 2016-02, the Company can use its implicit interest rate, if known, or applicable federal rate otherwise. Since the Company’s implicit interest rate was not readily determinable, the Company utilized the applicable federal rate, as of the commencement of the lease. Lease renewal options included in any lease are considered in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option to renew. The Company’s operating lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company’s lease components included in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company received $500,000 through the issuance of five demand notes (the “JAG Notes”) from a related party, JAG Multi Investments LLC (“JAG”). The Company’s CFO is a beneficiary of JAG but does not have any control over JAG’s investment decisions with respect to the Company. The JAG Notes accrue 10% annual interest from ~~the date~~their respective dates of issuance. At maturity, the Company agreed to pay outstanding principal, a 10% financing fee and accrued interest. On July 10, 2023, the Company received an additional $100,000 from JAG through the issuance of an additional demand note.

In consideration for subscribing to the JAG Note for $100,000 dated December 29, 2022, and for agreeing to extend the date on which the other JAG Notes are callable to March 31, 2023, the Company issued JAG a warrant to purchase 17,500 shares of Common Stock. The warrant may be exercised for a period of five (5) years from issuance at a price of $10.00 per share. The financing fees for said JAG Note and the fair value of the warrant issued were capped at the total proceeds. The relative fair value of the warrant was recorded as a debt discount and as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company had fully amortized the discount. On July 10, 2023 JAG agreed to extend the date on which the JAG Notes are callable to September 30, 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company received $200,000 through the issuance of demand promissory notes of which (1) $100,000 was received from our chief executive officer, Steven Shum ($60,000 on November 29, 2022, $15,000 on December 2, 2022, and $25,000 on December 13, 2022) and (2) $100,000 was received from an entity controlled by our chief financial officer, Andrea Goren ($75,000 on November 29, 2022 and $25,000 on December 13, 2022). These notes accrue 10% annual interest accrues from the date of issuance. These notes are callable with 10 days prior written notice. At maturity, the Company agreed to pay outstanding principal, a 10% financing fee and accrued ~~interest~~interest..

The financing fees for all demand notes were recorded as a debt discount and as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company had fully amortized the discount.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $~~42,758~~55,444 in interest related to these demand notes.

In January and March 2023, the Company issued $410,000 of convertible notes, for $310,000 in cash and the conversion of $100,000 of demand notes from the fourth quarter of 2022. These convertible notes were issued with fixed conversion prices of $10.00 (for the $275,000 issued in January 2023) and $12.00 (for the $135,000 issued in March 2023) and (ii) 5-year warrants to purchase 19,375 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.00.

The cumulative fair value of the warrants at issuance was $132,183. This was recognized as a debt discount and will to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective notes. For the ~~six~~nine months ending ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company amortized $~~59,238~~95,710 of the debt discount and as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 had a remaining debt discount balance of $~~72,945~~36,472.

Interest on these notes accrues at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is payable at the holder’s option either in cash or in shares of ~~the~~ Common Stock at the conversion price set forth in the notes on December 31, 2023, unless converted earlier. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company incurred $~~17,456~~27,933 in interest related to these convertible notes.

All amounts due under these notes are convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part (subject to rounding for fractional shares), at the option of the holders into the Common Stock at a fixed conversion price for the notes as described above.

On February 3, and February 17, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “February Purchase Agreements”) with accredited investors (the “February Investors”) for the purchase of (i) convertible debentures of the Company in the aggregate original principal amount of $500,000 (the “February Debentures”) for a purchase price of $450,000, (ii) warrants (the “February Warrants”) to purchase 12,500 shares (the “February Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, and (iii) 4,167 shares of Common Stock issued as an inducement for issuing the February Debentures. The proceeds, net of placement agent and legal fees, were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The cumulative fair value of the warrants at issuance was $291,207. This was recognized as a debt discount and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective notes. For the ~~six~~nine months ending ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company amortized $~~86,642~~347,520 of the debt discount and as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company had ~~a remaining debt discount balance of $213,016~~.fully amortized the discount.

Pursuant to the February Debentures, interest on the February Debentures ~~accrues~~accrued at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum ~~and is~~ payable at maturity, one year from the date of the February Debentures. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 the Company incurred $~~8,444~~9,640 in interest on the February Debentures.

All amounts due under the February Debentures ~~are~~were convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part, at the option of the February Investors into Common Stock at an initial price of $10.40 per share. This conversion price iswas subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations or similar events and anti-dilution provisions, among other adjustments and is subject to a floor price.

The Company ~~may~~could prepay the February Debentures at any time in whole or in part by paying a sum of money equal to 105% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

While any portion of each February Debenture ~~remains~~remained outstanding, if the Company ~~receives~~received cash proceeds of more than $2,000,000 ~~(the~~(the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the February Investors ~~shall have~~had the right in their sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 50% of all proceeds received by the Company above the Minimum Threshold to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the February Debentures. ~~The~~In April 2023, the Company used $360,151in proceeds from the RD Offering (as described in Note 11 below) to repay a portion of the February ~~Debentures, leaving $139,849~~ ~~of the February Debentures outstanding as of June 30, 2023.~~Debentures. On August 8, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of $139,849with proceeds from the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below).

The February Warrants ~~include~~included anti-dilution protection whereby a subsequent offering priced below the February Warrants’ strike price then in effect would entitle the February Investors to a reduction of such strike price to the price of such subsequent offering and an increase in the February Warrant Shares determined by dividing the dollar amount for which the February Warrants are exercisable by such lower strike price. As a result of the $2.85 ~~strike~~unit purchase price of the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below), following consummation of the August Public Offering, the February Warrants now entitle the February Investors to purchase a total 65,790 at aan exercise price of $2.85 per February Warrant Share.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If a carryforward exists, the Company decides as to whether the carryforward will be utilized in the future. Currently, a valuation allowance is established for all deferred tax assets and carryforwards as their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. If the Company’s expectations for future operating results at the federal or at the state jurisdiction level vary from actual results due to changes in healthcare regulations, general economic conditions, or other factors, it may need to adjust the valuation allowance, for all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company’s income tax expense in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases, respectively, in the Company’s valuation allowance in the period when the change in circumstances occurs. These changes could have a significant impact on the Company’s future earnings.

Income tax expense was $1,886 and $~~2,865~~4,751 for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to $0 and $800 for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Item 2. 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 the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “INVO,” or “INVO Bioscience, Inc.” refer to INVO Bioscience, Inc.

We are a healthcare services fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our commercialization strategy is focused on the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering the INVOcell® and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), the acquisition of US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) clinics (with one such clinic acquired in August 2023) and the sale and distribution of our technology solution into existing fertility clinics. Our proprietary technology, INVOcell®, is a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman’s body. This treatment solution is the world’s first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development. This technique, designated as “IVC”, provides patients with a more natural, intimate, and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. We believe the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional IVF and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination (“IUI”).

Unlike IVF where the oocytes and sperm develop into embryos in an expensive laboratory incubator, the INVOcell allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in the woman’s body. This allows for many benefits in the IVC procedure, including:

In both current utilization of the INVOcell, and in clinical studies, the IVC procedure has demonstrated equivalent pregnancy success and live birth rates as IVF.

While the INVOcell remains important to our efforts, our commercialization and corporate development strategy has expanded to focus primarily on providing ART services to the significantly underserved patient population seeking access to affordable fertility treatment. ~~The Company is~~We are now largely focused on the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering the INVOcell and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational) and the acquisition of existing IVF clinics, in addition to continuing to distribute and sell our technology solution to existing fertility clinics.

On August 10, 2023, we closed our first acquisition, Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”). The acquisition of WFI is expected to provide significant scale to our operations and complement our INVO Center strategy. The Madison-based fertility center primarily offers conventional IVF procedures and generated more than $5 million in revenue and approximately $1.7 million of net income based on fiscal 2022 audited results.

We operate with a core internal team and outsource certain operational functions in order to help advance our efforts as well as reduce fixed internal overhead needs and costs and in-house capital equipment requirements. Our most critical management and leadership functions are carried out by our core management team. We have contracted out the manufacturing, assembly, packaging, labeling, and sterilization of the INVOcell device to a medical manufacturing company and a sterilization specialist to perform the gamma sterilization process.

To date, we have completed a series of important steps in the successful development and manufacturing of the INVOcell:

The global ART marketplace is a large, multi-billion industry growing at a strong pace in many parts of the world as increased infertility rates, increased patient awareness, acceptance of treatment options, and improving financial incentives such as insurance and governmental assistance continue to drive demand. According to the European Society for Human Reproduction 2020 ART Fact Sheet, one in six couples worldwide experience infertility problems. Additionally, the worldwide market remains vastly underserved as a high percentage of patients in need of care continue to go untreated each year for many reasons, but key among them are capacity constraints and cost barriers. While there have been large increases in the use of IVF, there are still only approximately 2.6 million ART cycles, including IVF, IUI and other fertility treatments, performed globally each year, producing around 500,000 babies. This amounts to less than 3% of the infertile couples worldwide being treated and only 1% having a child though IVF. The industry remains capacity constrained which creates challenges in providing access to care to the volume of patients in need. A survey by “Resolve: The National Infertility Association,” indicates the two main reasons couples do not use IVF is cost and geographical availability (and/or capacity).

In the United States, infertility, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (2017), affects an estimated 10%-15% of the couples of childbearing-age. According to the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”), there are approximately 6.7 million women with impaired fertility. Based on preliminary 2020 data from CDC’s National ART Surveillance System, approximately 326,000 IVF cycles were performed at 449 IVF centers, leaving the U.S. with a large, underserved patient population, similar to most markets around the world.

As part of the expanded corporate expansion efforts the Company has incorporated an acquisition strategy to the business. The Company estimates that there are approximately 80 to 100 established owner-operated IVF clinics that may represent suitable acquisitions as part of this additional effort.

We believe that the INVOcell, and the IVC procedure it enables, have the following key advantages:

Lower cost than IVF with equivalent efficacy. The IVC procedure can be offered for less than IVF due to lower cost of supplies, labor, capital equipment and general overhead. The laboratory equipment needed to perform an IVF cycle is expensive and requires ongoing costs as compared to what is required for an IVC cycle. As a result, we also believe INVOcell and the IVC procedure enable a clinic and its laboratory to be more efficient as compared to conventional IVF.

The IVC procedure is currently being offered at several IVF clinics at a price range of $5,000 - $11,000 per cycle and from $4,500 to $7,000 at the existing INVO Centers, thereby making it more affordable than IVF (which tends to average $12,000 to $17,000 per cycle or higher).

Improved efficiency providing for greater capacity and improved access to care and geographic availability. In many parts of the world, including the U.S., IVF clinics tend to be concentrated in higher population centers and are often capacity constrained in terms of how many patients a center can treat, since volume is limited by the number of capital-intensive incubators available in IVF clinic labs. With the significant number of untreated patients along with the growing interest and demand for services, the industry remains challenged to provide sufficient access to care and to do so at an economical price. We believe INVOcell and the IVC procedure it enables can play a significant role in helping to address these challenges. According to the 2020 CDC Report, there are approximately 449 IVF centers in the U.S. We estimate that by adopting the INVOcell, IVF clinics can increase fertility cycle volume by up to 30% without adding to personnel, space and/or equipment costs. Our own INVO Centers also address capacity constraints by adding to the overall ART cycle capacity and doing so with comparable efficacy to IVF outcomes as well as at a lower per cycle price. Moreover, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to drive more significant growth in fertility treatment capacity in the future by partnering with existing OB/GYN practices. In the U.S., there are an estimated 5,000 OB/GYN offices, many of which offer fertility services (usually limited to consultation and IUI, but not IVF). Since the IVC procedure requires a much smaller lab facility, less equipment and fewer lab personnel (in comparison to conventional IVF), it could potentially be offered as an extended service in an OB/GYN office. With proper training and a lighter lab infrastructure, the INVOcell could expand the business for these physicians and allow them to treat patients that are unable to afford IVF and provide patients with a more readily accessible, convenient, and cost-effective solution. With our three-pronged strategy (IVF clinics, INVO Centers and OB/GYN practices), in addition to lowering costs, we believe INVOcell and the IVC procedure can address our industry’s key challenges, capacity and cost, by their ability to expand and decentralize treatment and increase the number of points of care for patients in need. This powerful combination of lower cost and added capacity has the potential to open up access to care for underserved patients around the world.

Greater patient involvement. With the IVC procedure, the patient uses their own body for fertilization, incubation, and early embryo development which creates a greater sense of involvement, comfort, and participation. In some cases, this may also free people from barriers related to due to ethical or religious concerns, or fears of laboratory mix-ups.

Our approach to market is focused on identifying partners within targeted geographic regions that we believe can best promote support our efforts to expand access to advanced fertility treatment for the large number of underserved infertile people hoping to have a baby. We believe that the INVOcell-based IVC procedure is an effective and affordable treatment option that greatly reduces the need for more expensive IVF lab facilities and allows providers to pass on related savings to patients without compromising efficacy. We have been cleared to sell the INVOcell in the United States since November 2015 after receiving de novo class II clearance from the FDA. Our primary focus over the past two years has been on establishing INVO Centers in the U.S. and abroad to promote the INVOcell and the IVC procedure and acquiring existing U.S.-based IVF clinics where we can integrate the INVOcell. While we continue selling the INVOcell directly to IVF clinics and via distributors and other partners around the world, we have transitioned INVO from being a medical device company to one that is mostly focused on providing fertility services.

We have entered into exclusive distribution agreements for a number of international markets. These agreements usually have an initial term with renewal options and require the distributors to meet minimum annual purchases, which vary depending on the market. We are also required to register the product in each market before the distributor can begin importing, a process and timeline that can vary widely depending on the market.

The following table sets forth a list of our current international distribution agreements:

As part of our commercialization strategy, we entered into a number of joint ventures and partnerships designed to establish new INVO Centers.

The following table sets forth a list of our current joint venture arrangements:

On March 10, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, INVO Centers, LLC (“INVO CTR”), entered into a limited liability company agreement with HRCFG, LLC (“HRCFG”) to form a joint venture for the purpose of establishing an INVO Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The name of the joint venture LLC is HRCFG INVO, LLC (the “Alabama JV”). The responsibilities of HRCFG’s principals include providing clinical practice expertise, performing recruitment functions, providing all necessary training, and providing day-to-day management of the clinic. The responsibilities of INVO CTR include providing certain funding to the Alabama JV and providing access to and being the exclusive provider of the INVOcell to the Alabama JV. INVO CTR will also perform all required, industry specific compliance and accreditation functions, and product documentation for product registration.

The Alabama JV is accounted for using the equity method in our financial statements. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we invested ~~$1.6~~$1.5 million in the Alabama JV in the form of a note. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Alabama JV recorded net income of $2$32 thousand, of which we recognized a gain from equity method investments of ~~$805.~~$16 thousand. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Alabama JV recorded a net loss of $0.3 million, of which we recognized a loss from equity method investments of $0.2 million.

On June 28, 2021, INVO CTR entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “Bloom Agreement”) with Bloom Fertility, LLC (“Bloom”) to establish a joint venture entity, formed as “Bloom INVO LLC” (the “Georgia JV”), for the purposes of commercializing INVOcell, and the related IVC procedure, through the establishment of an INVO Center, (the “Atlanta Clinic”) in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.

In consideration for INVO’s commitment to contribute up to $800,000 within the 24-month period following execution of the Bloom Agreement to support the start-up operations of the Georgia JV, the Georgia JV issued 800 of its units to INVO CTR and in consideration for Bloom’s commitment to contribute physician services having an anticipated value of up to $1,200,000 over the course of a 24-month vesting period, the Georgia JV issued 1,200 of its units to Bloom.

The responsibilities of Bloom include providing all medical services required for the operation of the Atlanta Clinic. The responsibilities of INVO CTR include providing certain funding to the Georgia JV, lab services quality management, and providing access to and being the exclusive provider of the INVOcell to the Georgia JV. INVO CTR will also perform all required, industry specific compliance and accreditation functions, and product documentation for product registration.

The results of the Georgia JV are consolidated in our financial statements. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, INVO invested $0.9 million in the Georgia JV in the form of capital contributions as well as $0.5 million in the form of a note. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Georgia JV recorded net losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively. Noncontrolling interest in the Georgia JV was $0. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the Georgia JV.

Effective September 24, 2020, INVO CTR entered into a Pre-Incorporation and Shareholders Agreement with Francisco Arredondo, MD PLLC (“Arredondo”) and Security Health LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Ramirez”, and together with INVO CTR and Arredondo, the “Shareholders”) under which the Shareholders will commercialize the IVC procedure and offer related medical treatments in Mexico. Each party owns one-third of the Mexican incorporated company, Positib Fertility, S.A. de C.V. (the “Mexico JV”).

The Mexico JV will operate in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and any other cities and places in Mexico as approved by the Mexico JV’s board of directors and Shareholders. In addition, the Shareholders agreed that the Mexico JV will be our exclusive distributor in Mexico. The Shareholders also agreed not to compete directly or indirectly with the Mexico JV in Mexico.

The Mexico JV is accounted for using the equity method in our financial statements. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, INVO invested $0.1 million in the Mexico JV. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Mexico JV recorded net losses of ~~$74~~$144 thousand and ~~$90~~$140 thousand, respectively, of which we recognized a loss from equity method investments of ~~$24~~$48 thousand and ~~$30~~$47 thousand, respectively.

As of May 15, 2023, our JV agreements to establish INVO Centers in the Republic of North Macedonia and in the Bay Area of California were terminated due to lack of progress.

On October 22, 2023, the Company, INVO Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and NAYA Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NAYA”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on October 25, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”).

Receipt of the waivers is a condition to the consummation of the Merger. The Waiver Solicitation is being made pursuant to a notice of waiver solicitation (the “Notice of Waiver Solicitation”) and accompanying form of waiver, which the Company is sending to the holders of the Warrants.

The RSLA Loan has a maturity date of June 29, 2028, is payable in fixed monthly installments, as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The installments include an interest factor that varies based on when the RSLA Loan is fully repaid and is based on a minimum amount that increases from thirty five percent (35%) of the RSLA Loan principal if fully repaid in the first six months to 100% of the RSLA Loan principal if fully repaid after 30 months from the RSLA Loan’s effective date.

On August 4, 2023, we, entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional and other investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to such investors in a public offering (the ~~“Offering”~~“August 2023 Offering”), 1,580,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $2.85 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one share ~~(the “Shares”)~~ of our Common Stock (the “Shares”), and (ii) two common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”), each exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.85 per ~~share, for an~~share.

We closed the Offering on August 8, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $4 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us. We used (i) $2,150,000 ~~of the net proceeds~~ to fund the initial installment of the WFI purchase price ~~required to consummate our acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute~~ (net of a $350,000 holdback) on August 10, 2023; (ii) $1,000,000 ~~of the net proceeds of this offering~~ to pay Armistice the Armistice Amendment Fee ~~for agreeing to remove the Subsequent Equity Financing Provision from the Armistice SPA;~~(as defined below); and (iii) ~~$100,000~~$139,849 to repay ~~that~~those certain 8% ~~Debenture with a maturity date of~~debentures issued in February ~~3, 2024 issued to Peak One Opportunity Fund LP~~2023, plus accrued interest and fees of approximately $7,784; and (iv) $39,849 to repay that certain 8% Debenture with a maturity date of February 17, 2024 issued to First Fire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, plus accrued interest and fees of approximately $3,127.$10,911.

On July ~~19,~~20, 2023, we entered into a Standard Merchant Cash Advance Agreement with Cedar Advance LLC (“Cedar”) under which Cedar purchased $543,750 of our receivables for a gross purchase price of ~~$375,000.~~$375,000 (the “Initial Advance”). We received net proceeds of $356,250. Until the purchase price ~~has been~~is repaid, we agreed to pay Cedar $19,419.64 per week.

On August 31, 2023, we refinanced the Initial Advance through the purchase by Cedar of $746,750 of the Company’s receivables for a gross purchase price of $515,000 (the “Refinanced Advance”). We received net cash proceeds of $134,018 after applying $390,892 towards the repayment of the Initial Advance. The new Cash Advance Agreement provides that if we repay the Refinanced Advance within 30 days then the amount payable to Cedar shall be reduced to $643,750, and if the Refinanced Amount is repaid on days 31 to 60 then the amount payable to Cedar shall be reduced to $674,650.

On September 29, 2023, we repaid $0.3 million of the Refinanced Advance with proceeds from the RLSA Loan (as defined below). As a result of such payment, the weekly payment was reduced to $9277.

On July 7, 2023, we entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Armistice Amendment”) with Armistice Capital Markets Ltd. to delete Section 4.12(a) of our March 23, 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Armistice SPA”) with Armistice pursuant to which we agreed that from March 23, 2023 until 45 days after the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below) we would not (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the prospectus supplement filed in connection with that offering and the Resale Registration Statement (the “Subsequent Equity Financing Provision”). In consideration of Armistice’s agreement to enter into the Armistice Amendment and delete the Subsequent Equity Financing Provision from the Armistice SPA, we agreed to pay Armistice a fee a $1,000,000 (the “Armistice Amendment Fee”) within two days of the closing of ~~this~~the August 2023 Offering. Additionally, we agreed to include a proposal in our proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting common stock, to effectuate the reduction of the exercise price (the “Exercise Price Reduction”) set forth in Section 2(b) of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued to Armistice on March 27, 2023 (the “Existing Warrants”) to the per unit public offering price of ~~this Offering,~~the August 2023 Offering)or $2.85), in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) (the “Shareholder Approval”) with the recommendation of our board of directors that such proposal be approved. We also agreed to solicit proxies from our shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and that all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. Further, if we do not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, we ~~will~~agreed to call a meeting every six (6) months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Existing Warrants are no longer outstanding. Until such approval is obtained, the exercise price of the Existing Warrants will remain unchanged.

On June 28, 2023, our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 and also approved a proportionate decrease in our authorized common stock to 6,250,000 shares from 125,000,000. Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes, a company may effect a reverse split without stockholder approval if both the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced as a result of the reverse split, the reverse split does not adversely affect any other class of stock of the company, and the company does not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse split. On July 26, 2023, we filed a certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.209 to (i) decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 to 6,250,000 shares and (ii) effectuate a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock. On July 27, 2023, we received notice from Nasdaq that the reverse split would take effect at the open of business on July 28, 2023 and the reverse stock split took effect on that date.

On June 22, 2023, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand the labeling on the INVOcell device and its indication for use to provide for a 5-day incubation period. The data supporting the expanded 5-day incubation clearance demonstrated improved patient outcomes.

On March 23, 2023, INVO entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to such investor (i) in a registered direct offering (the “RD Offering”), 69,000 shares of Common Stock, and a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase up to 115,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement (the “March Warrant Placement”), a common stock purchase warrant (the “March Warrant”), exercisable for an aggregate of up to 276,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $12.60 per share. The securities to be issued in the RD Offering (priced at the marked under Nasdaq rules) were offered pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File 333-255096), initially filed by us with the SEC under the Securities Act, ~~of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),~~ on April 7, 2021 and declared effective on April 16, 2021. The Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable upon issuance and will remain exercisable until all of the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant are exercised in full. All Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised by the investor in June 2023.

The March Warrant (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants) was not registered under the Securities Act and was offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The March Warrant is immediately exercisable upon issuance, will expire eight years from the date of issuance, and in certain circumstances may be exercised on a cashless basis.

On March 27, 2023, we closed the RD Offering and March Warrant Placement, raising gross proceeds of approximately $3 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us. In the event the March Warrant is fully exercised for cash, we would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. We used $383,879 in proceeds to repay a portion of the convertible debenture issued in February 2023 and the remainder of the proceeds ~~are being~~were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the March Purchase Agreement, We are required within 30 days of the closing date of the March Warrant Placement to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the March Warrant. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 75 days of the closing date of the offering (or 120 days if the registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC), and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no shares of Common Stock remain exercisable under the March Warrant.

In addition, pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, our officers and directors have agreed, for a period of 180 days from the date of the RD Offering and March Warrant Placement, not to engage in any of the following, whether directly or indirectly, without the consent of the March Purchase Agreement investor: offer to sell, sell, contract to sell pledge, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (the “Lock-Up Securities”); enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities; make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; enter into any transaction, swap, hedge, or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities subject to customary exceptions; or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

On November 23, 2022, we received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising us that we were not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”) requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,287,224, which is below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for continued listing. Additionally, as of the date of the notice, we did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.

The notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock and our common stock ~~continues~~continued to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INVO” subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements.

Pursuant to the notice, Nasdaq gave us 45 calendar days, or until January 7, 2023, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. We submitted our plan within the prescribed time and, on January 18, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on our submission that Nasdaq had determined to grant us an extension of time to regain compliance with the Equity Rule until May 22, 2023.

On May 23, 2023, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that, based upon our non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in the Equity Rule, as of May 22, 2023, our common stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

We requested a hearing before the Panel, which stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing process was concluded and any extension that may be granted by the Panel has expired.

On July 6, 2023, we had our hearing before the Panel at which time we provided the Panel our plan to regain compliance under the Equity Rule.

On July 27, 2023, we received a letter from the Panel under which they granted our request for continued listing of Nasdaq subject to us demonstrating compliance with the Equity Rule as well as Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (to maintain a minimum bid price of $1; the ~~“Price~~(“Price Rule”) on or before September ~~29.~~29, 2023. The Panel ~~reserves~~reserved the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of our securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. In that regard, the Panel ~~advises~~advised us that it is a requirement during the exception period we provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect our compliance with Nasdaq requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, prompt advance notice of any event that may call into question our ability to meet the terms of the exception granted.

On September 27, 2023 the Panel agreed to extend the exception period from September 29, 2023 until November 20, 2023. No additional extensions for compliance under the Equity Rule may be granted by the Panel.

On January 11, 2023, we received a letter from the staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, we were not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing under the Price Rule.

The notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock, and our common stock ~~continues~~continued to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INVO.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time before July 10, 2023, the closing bid price of our common stock closed at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq would provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If we did not regain compliance prior to July 10, 2023, then Nasdaq may grant us a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, provided we (i) meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum closing bid price requirement, and (ii) notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency within such second 180 calendar day period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

We were unable to regain compliance by July 10, 2023 and accordingly on July 11, 2023, we received a notice from Staff of Nasdaq that, based upon our non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Price Rule. We presented our plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement at our hearing with the Panel on July 6, 2023.

On July 27, 2023, we received a letter from the Panel under which they granted our request for continued listing of Nasdaq subject to us demonstrating compliance with the Equity Rule and the Price Rule on or before September 29. 2023. ~~The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of~~On August 31, 2023, we received notice from the Panel ~~make continued listing of our securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. In~~ that ~~regard, the Panel advises us that it is a requirement during the exception period~~ we ~~provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect our~~had regained compliance with ~~Nasdaq requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, prompt advance notice of any event that may call into question our ability to meet~~ the ~~terms of the exception granted.~~Price Rule.

During the first ~~half~~nine months of 2023, we made further progress toward our key objectives. Our three existing operational INVO Centers experienced growing revenues and improved operating ~~results. Progress also continued toward opening our planned new Tampa INVO Center, which~~results, and we ~~expect~~advanced plans to open additional INVO Centers in the ~~second half of this year.~~US. At the end of the second quarter, we received FDA clearance on our 510k submission, which represented a very significant milestone resulting from our multi-year effort to advance the INVOcell technology and further demonstrate its success and quality of outcomes.

~~Subsequent to the second quarter end,~~On August 10, 2023, we completed a major step forward on our previously announced acquisition ~~strategy. On August 10, 2023 we closed~~strategy through the closing of our first acquisition, Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”). The acquisition of WFI is expected to provide significant scale to our operations and complement our INVO Center strategy. The Madison-based fertility center primarily offers conventional IVF procedures and generated more than $5 million in revenue and approximately $1.7 million of net income based on fiscal 2022 audited results.

Looking ahead, we will continue to seek out and pursue accretive acquisition opportunities along with our plans to open additional INVO Centers in key domestic markets. With respect to INVO Centers, we have selected an initial list of markets in the U.S. that we believe are excellent potential locations, and we believe the universe of suitable acquisition targets for INVO exceeds 80 clinics in the U.S. We also continue to work on the expansion of INVOcell distribution into existing fertility clinics.

From a market strategy perspective, our commercialization efforts will continue to focus on the substantial, underserved patient population and on expanding access to advanced fertility treatments. We believe our solutions can help address the key challenges of affordability and capacity to provide care to the vast number of patients that go untreated every year. This represents the major opportunity for INVOcell and the IVC procedure it enables. ~~Despite the COVID pandemic, the~~The fertility industry continues to expand, and we believe our growing ~~volume~~number of ~~partners (both distributors and joint venture INVO Centers)~~profitable clinics with successful IVC outcomes affords us strong forward-looking opportunities. We believe our INVO Center approach and our plans to implement IVC procedures in acquired clinics can help to add much needed capacity and affordability and aligns with our key mission to open access to care to the underserved patient population.

The ART market also continues to benefit from a number of industry tailwinds, including 1) the large under-served potential patient population, 2) increasing infertility rates around the world 3) growing awareness and education of fertility treatment options, 4) a growing acceptance of fertility treatment, 5) improvements in procedure techniques and hence improvements in pregnancy success rates and 6) generally improving insurance (private and public) reimbursement trends.

The decrease of approximately ~~$0.6~~$1.7 million, or approximately ~~12%~~23%, was primarily the result of approximately ~~$0.5~~$1.6 million in ~~decrease expenses related to~~lower personnel expenses, approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.5 million in decreased marketing expenses, and was partially offset by a ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million increase in professional fees related to the ~~acquistion~~acquisition of WFI and $0.1 million increase in operational expenses related to ~~the Georgia JV.~~WFI. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, which was ~~$0.3~~$1.0 million in the period, compared to ~~$0.5~~$1.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

R&D expenses were approximately $0.2 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively.

Loss from equity investments for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, was approximately ~~$24~~$32 thousand compared to $0.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The decrease in loss is due to an increase in revenue in the equity method ~~JV’s and a decrease in expenses associated with one-time startup costs.~~JV’s.

Interest expense and financing fees were approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to approximately $2$3 thousand for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The expense in 2023 was primarily non-cash and due to the debt discount, debt issuance cost and interest from convertible notes.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and 2022, we had net losses of approximately ~~$4.8~~$6.0 million and ~~$5.6~~$8.1 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately ~~$54.6~~$55.8 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Approximately ~~$1.4~~$2.1 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$1.6~~$2.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. We had negative working capital of approximately ~~$3.6~~$3.1 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had stockholder’s ~~deficit~~equity of approximately ~~$1.7~~$0.4 million compared to stockholder’s deficit of approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

We have been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings to meet our needs for cash required to fund our operating expenses and investing activities. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023, we received net proceeds of approximately ~~$2.7~~$5.7 million for the sale of our Common Stock and ~~$0.7~~$3.2 million in proceeds from the sale of convertible notes. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2022, we received approximately $0.3 million for the sale of Common Stock. Over the next 12 months, our plan includes opening additional INVO Centers ~~completing the acquisition of Wisconsin Fertility Institute~~ and pursuing additional IVF clinic acquisitions. Until we can generate positive cash from operations, we will need to raise additional funding to meet our liquidity needs and to execute our business strategy. As in the past, we will seek debt and/or equity financing, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Although our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, we have incurred significant operating losses and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses as we continue to ~~ramp up the commercialization of INVOcell and~~ develop new INVO Centers. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022:

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had approximately ~~$0.1~~$1.1 million in cash compared to approximately ~~$2.0~~$0.3 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023 was approximately ~~$2.8~~$4.0 million, compared to approximately ~~$4.0~~$5.6 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the ~~increase~~decrease in ~~accounts payable and accrued compensation.~~net loss.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities of ~~$0.3~~$2.5 million was primarily related to the ~~buildout infrastructure for our Tampa INVO Center.~~acquisition of WFI. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities of approximately $0.1 million was primarily related to a loss on equity method for the JVs, payments to acquire property, plant, and equipment, as well as investment in trademarks.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities of approximately ~~$3.0~~$7.5 million was primarily related to the sale of Common Stock and convertible notes. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.3 million primarily related to the sale of Common Stock, net of offering costs.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition presented in this section is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, our results, which allows us to form a basis for making judgments on the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates based on variance with our assumptions and conditions. A summary of significant accounting policies is included below. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.

See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of significant accounting policies and the effect on our financial statements.

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718-10 Share-Based Payment (formerly SFAS 123R). This statement requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service or performance goals in exchange for the award, which is usually immediate but sometimes over a vesting period. Warrants granted to non-employees are recorded as an expense over the requisite service period based on the grant date and the estimated fair value of the grant, which is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the new revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INVO, its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”), where we are the primary beneficiary under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary when, along with its affiliates and agents, the primary beneficiary has both: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We reconsider whether an entity is still a VIE only upon certain triggering events and continually assesses its consolidated VIEs to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in which we exert significant influence but do not control or otherwise consolidate are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method investment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Management monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

We account for all business acquisitions at fair value and expenses acquisition costs as they are incurred. Any identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. If information about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date is incomplete at the end of the reporting period in which a business acquisition occurs, we will report provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. The measurement period ends once we receive sufficient information to finalize the fair values; however, the period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

We are exposed to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our foreign joint venture. Our principal exchange rate exposure relates to the Mexican Peso.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the end of the fiscal period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, as amended. ~~There~~Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

On October 22, 2023, INVO Bioscience, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), INVO Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and NAYA Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NAYA”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on October 25, 2023 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”). The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain customary mutual closing conditions including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company and NAYA, (2) the absence of any injunction or other order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable law or legal prohibition prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger, (3) the completion of due diligence, (4) the completion of an interim private offering of shares of Company common stock at a price that is a premium to the market price of the Company common stock in an estimated amount of $5,000,000 or more of gross proceeds, (5) the aggregate of the liabilities of the Company, excluding certain specified liabilities, shall not exceed $5,000,000, (6) the receipt of waivers from any and all holders of warrants (and any other similar instruments) to securities of the Company, with respect to any fundamental transaction rights such warrant holders may have under any such warrants, (7) the continued listing of the Company common stock on NASDAQ through the effective time of the Merger and the approval for listing on NASDAQ of the shares of the Company common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, the interim private offering, and a private offering of shares of Company common stock at a target price of $5.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Company common stock) resulting in sufficient cash available for the Company for one year of operations, as estimated by NAYA, (8) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company pursuant to which the shares of Company common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will be registered with the SEC, and the absence of any stop order suspending such effectiveness or proceeding for the purpose of suspending such effectiveness being pending before or threatened by the SEC, and (9) the Company shall have received customary lock-up Agreement from certain Company stockholders. In the event that we are unable to consummate our merger with NAYA, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate NAYA and the Company and achieve the benefits expected to result from the merger.

The proposed merger between NAYA and the Company may present challenges to management, including the integration of the operations, and personnel of the Company and NAYA and special risks, including possible unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated integration costs and diversion of management attention.

We cannot assure you that the business of NAYA and the Company will be successfully integrated or profitably managed Even if these businesses are successfully integrated and profitably managed, we cannot assure you that, following the transaction, our business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the merger or that the merger will result in increased earnings for us in any future period.

We have been notified by Nasdaq of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.

Our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.

The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock and our common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INVO” subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements.

On May 23, 2023, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in the Equity Rule, as of May 22, 2023, the Company’s common stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). We requested a hearing before the Panel, which stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing process was concluded and any extension that may be granted by the Panel has expired.

On July 6, 2023, we had our hearing before the Panel at which time we provided the Panel our plan to regain compliance under the Equity Rule. On July 27, 2023, we received a letter from the Panel under which they granted our request for continued listing of Nasdaq subject to us demonstrating compliance with the Equity Rule as well as Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (to maintain a minimum bid price of $1; the “Price Rule”) on or before September 29. 2023. On September 27, 2023, the Panel agreed to extend the exception granted as a result of our hearing to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), or the Equity Rule, from September 29, 2023 until November 20, 2023. No additional extensions for compliance under the Equity Rule may be granted by the Panel. If we fail to demonstrate compliance with the Equity Rule by this date, our common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
