This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:

 

our business strategies;
   
the timing of regulatory submissions;

the ultimate impact of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, or any other health epidemic, on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole;
   
intellectual property risks;
   
risks associated with our reliance on third-party organizations;

All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications, articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

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 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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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 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.

 

Reclassifications

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.

 

Business Segments

 

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

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

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.

 

8
 

 

Equity Method Investments

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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.

 

Inventory

 

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.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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 months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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.

 

Income Taxes

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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:

 

1. Identify the contract with the customer.
   
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
   
3. Determine the total transaction price.
   
4. Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.
   
5. Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

10
 

 

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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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.

 

Loss Per Share

 

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 months ended June 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

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.

 

Note 2 – Liquidity

 

Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs primarily through revenue collection, equity financings, and convertible notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.6 million as of June 30, 2023. Approximately $1.4 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 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 months of 2023, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million for the sale of its common stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) as well as approximately $0.7 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.

 

Note 3 – Variable Interest Entities

 

Consolidated VIEs

 

Bloom INVO, LLC

 

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.

 

12
 

 

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 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 Georgia JV opened to patients on September 7, 2021.

 

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 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 months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Georgia JV recorded net losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million respectively. Noncontrolling interest in the Georgia JV was $0.

 

Unconsolidated VIEs

 

HRCFG INVO, LLC

 

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 Alabama JV opened to patients on August 9, 2021.

 

The Company determined the Alabama JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company will use the equity method to account for its interest in the Alabama JV. As of June 30, 2023, the Company invested $1.6 million in the Alabama JV in the form of a note. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Alabama JV recorded net income of $2 thousand, of which the Company recognized a gain from equity method investments of $805. For the six months ended June 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 $0.2 million.

 

Positib Fertility, S.A. de C.V.

 

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 Mexico JV opened to patients on November 1, 2021.

 

The Company determined the Mexico JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company will use the equity method to account for its interest in the Mexico JV. As of June 30, 2023, the Company invested $0.1 million in the Mexico JV. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Mexico JV recorded net losses of $74 thousand and $90 thousand, respectively, of which the Company recognized a loss from equity method investments of $24 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.

Note 7 – Intangible Assets

 

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 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $nil and $452, respectively.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $nil and $904, 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.

Note 8 – Leases

 

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 30, 2023, the Company’s lease components included in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

Related Party Demand Notes

 

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 of issuance. At maturity, the Company agreed to pay outstanding principal, a 10% financing fee and accrued interest.

 

16
 

 

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 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.

 

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

 

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

 

Jan and March 2023 Convertible 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 be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective notes. For the six months ending June 30, 2023 the Company amortized $59,238 of the debt discount and as of June 30, 2023 had a remaining debt discount balance of $72,945.

 

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 months ended June 30, 2023 the Company incurred $17,456 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.

 

February 2023 Convertible Debentures

 

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 months ending June 30, 2023 the Company amortized $86,642 of the debt discount and as of June 30, 2023 had a remaining debt discount balance of $213,016.

 

Pursuant to the February Debentures, interest on the February Debentures accrues 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 months ended June 30, 2023 the Company incurred $8,444 in interest on the February Debentures.

 

All amounts due under the February Debentures are 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 is 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 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 outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $2,000,000 (the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the February Investors shall have 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 Company used $360,151 in 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. On August 8, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of $139,849 with proceeds from the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below).

 

The February Warrants include 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 of the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below), the February Warrants now entitle the February Investors to purchase a total 65,790 at a price of $2.85 per February Warrant Share.

 

Note 10 – Related Party Transactions

 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company received $700,000 through the issuance of demand notes from related parties, as follows: (a) $500,000 from JAG; (b) $100,000 from our chief executive officer, Steve Shum; and (c) $100,000 from our chief financial officer, Andrea Goren. 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. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

As of June 30, 2023 the Company owed accounts payable to related parties totaling $142,176, primarily related to unpaid employee expense reimbursements and unpaid board fees.

February 2023 Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “ELOC”) and registration rights agreement (the “ELOC RRA”) with an accredited investor (the “Feb 3 Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Feb 3 Investor to purchase up to $10.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) of shares of Common Stock, in multiple tranches. Further, under the ELOC and subject to the Maximum Commitment Amount, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to submit notices to the Feb 3 Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock (i) in a minimum amount of not less than $25,000 and (ii) in a maximum amount of up to the lesser of (a) $750,000 or (b) 200% of the Company’s average daily trading value of the Common Stock.

 

Also on February 3, 2023, the Company issued to the Feb 3 Investor 7,500 shares of Common Stock for its commitment to enter into the ELOC.

 

The obligation of the Feb 3 Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC ends on the earlier of (i) the date on which the purchases under the ELOC equal the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) 24 months after the date of the ELOC (February 3, 2025), (iii) written notice of termination by the Company, (iv) the date that the ELOC RRA is no longer effective after its initial effective date, or (v) the date that the Company commences a voluntary case or any person or entity commences a proceeding against the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of federal or state bankruptcy law, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (the “Commitment Period”).

 

During the Commitment Period, the price that Feb 3 Investor will pay to purchase the shares of Common Stock that it is obligated to purchase under the ELOC shall be 97% of the “market price,” which is defined as the lesser of (i) the lowest closing price of our Common Stock during the 7 trading day-period following the clearance date associated with the applicable put notice from the Company or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock on the principal trading market for the Common Stock (currently, the Nasdaq Capital Market) on the trading day immediately preceding a put date.

 

March 2023 Registered Direct Offering

 

On March 23, 2023, INVO entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company 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 the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File 333-255096), initially filed by the Company 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. 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 March Warrant) 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, the Company 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 the Company. In the event the March Warrant is fully exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. Under the March Purchase Agreement, the Company may use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to (a) repay February Debentures, and (b) to pay the down payment for Wisconsin Fertility acquisition. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Company used $383,879 in proceeds to repay a portion of the February Debentures and related fees and interest and the remainder of the proceeds are being used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the March Purchase Agreement, the Company is 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. The Company is 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.

Equity Incentive Plans

 

In October 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Plan. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company’s board of directors is authorized to grant stock options to purchase Common Stock, restricted stock units, and restricted shares of Common Stock to its employees, directors, and consultants. The 2019 Plan initially provided for the issuance of 25,000 shares. A provision in the 2019 Plan provides for an automatic annual increase equal to 6% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. In January 2023, the number of available shares increased by 36,498 shares bringing the total shares available under the 2019 Plan to 125,000.

 

Options granted under the 2019 Plan generally have a life of 3 to 10 years and exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Vesting for employees typically occurs over a three-year period.

 

The following table sets forth the activity of the options to purchase Common Stock under the 2019 Plan.

Schedule of Share-Based Payment Award, Stock Options, Valuation Assumptions

    Six months ended June 30,
    2023    2022

Note 14 – Income Taxes

 

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 $2,865 for the three and six months ended June 30, compared to $800 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The annual forecasted effective income tax rate for 2023 is 0%, with a year-to-date effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023, of 0%.

 

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Insurance

 

The Company’s insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and includes: (i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (iv) excess liability insurance above the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.

 

Legal Matters

 

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

Notices from Nasdaq of Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rules.

 

On July 11, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”), as of July 10, 2023, the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) will consider such non-compliance in its decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

The Company plans to timely submit to the Panel confirmation of its plan to regain compliance under the Rule, providing similar information to that presented to the Panel at the Company’s hearing on July 6, 2023.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company was granted a 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Rule through July 10, 2023. The Company was unable to do so by that date, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff’s notice.

 

On July 27, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Panel under which they granted its 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.

In that regard, the Panel advises the Company that it is a requirement during the exception period that the Company provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect its compliance with Nasdaq requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, prompt advance notice of any event that may call into question its ability to meet the terms of the exception granted.

Overview

 

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 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:

 

  Reduces expensive and time-consuming lab procedures, helping clinics and doctors to increase patient capacity and reduce costs;
  Provides a natural, stable incubation environment;
  Offers a more personal, intimate experience in creating a baby; and
  Reduces the risk of errors and wrong embryo transfers.

 

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 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.

Operations

 

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:

 

Manufacturing: we are ISO 13485:2016 certified and manage all aspects of production and manufacturing with qualified suppliers. Our key suppliers have been steadfast partners since our company first began and can provide us with virtually an unlimited capability to support our growth objectives, with all manufacturing performed in the New England region of the U.S..
Raw Materials: all raw materials utilized for the INVOcell are medical grade and commonly used in medical devices (e.g., medical grade silicone, medical grade plastic). Our principal molded component suppliers are well-established companies in the molding industry and are either ISO 13485 or ISO 9001 certified. The molded components are supplied to our contract manufacturer for assembly and packaging of the INVOcell system. The contract manufacturer is ISO 13485 certified, and U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) registered.
CE Mark: INVO Bioscience received the CE Mark in October 2019. The CE Mark permits the sale of devices in Europe, Australia and other countries that recognize the CE Mark, subject to local registration requirements.
US Marketing Clearance: the safety and efficacy of the INVOcell has been demonstrated and cleared for marketing and use by the FDA in November 2015.
Clinical: In June 2023 we received 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.

 

Market Opportunity

 

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).

 

24
 

 

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.

 

Competitive Advantages

 

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.

INVOcell Sales and Marketing

 

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.

 

International Distribution Agreements

 

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.

Until such approval is obtained, the exercise price of the Existing Warrants will remain unchanged.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

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.

 

510(k) FDA Clearance

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 used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

29
 

 

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.

 

Notices from Nasdaq of Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rules

 

Notice Regarding Non-Compliance with Minimum Stockholders’ Equity

 

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.

 

30
 

 

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.

 

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 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 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 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.

 

Notice Regarding Failure to Maintain Minimum Bid Price

 

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 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 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 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.

Results of Operations

 

During the first half 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 we expect to open in the second half of this year. 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, we completed a major step forward on our previously announced acquisition strategy. 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.

 

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 fertility industry continues to expand, and we believe our growing volume of partners (both distributors and joint venture INVO Centers) 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.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023, and 2022

 

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $316 thousand compared to approximately $146 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Of the $316 thousand in revenue for the second quarter of 2023, approximately $254 thousand was related to clinic revenue from the consolidated Georgia JV. The increase of approximately $170 thousand, or approximately 116%, was primarily related to increased revenue from the Georgia JV.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $235 thousand compared to approximately $171 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were approximately $2.0 million compared to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of approximately $0.4 million, or approximately 16%, was primarily the result of approximately $0.2 million in decreased personnel expenses and approximately $0.2 million in decreased marketing expenses. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, which was $0.4 million in the period, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

 

32
 

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

We began to fund additional research and development (“R&D”) efforts in 2020 as part of our 5-day label expansion efforts. R&D expenses were approximately $84 thousand and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Gain (loss) from equity investment

 

Gain from equity investments for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $4 thousand compared to a $0.1 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The gain is due to an increase in revenue from the equity method JV’s and a decrease in expenses associated with one-time startup costs.

 

Interest Expense and Financing Fees

 

Interest expense and financing fees were approximately $175 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately $102 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The expense in 2023 was primarily non-cash and due to the debt discount, debt issuance cost and interest from convertible notes.

 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023, and 2022

 

Revenue

 

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $0.7 million compared to approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Of the $0.7 million in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, $0.6 was related to clinic revenue from the consolidated Georgia JV. The increase of approximately $0.4 million, or approximately 155%, was primarily related to increased revenue from the Georgia JV.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $0.5 million compared to approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were approximately $4.4 million compared to approximately $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of approximately $0.6 million, or approximately 12%, was primarily the result of approximately $0.5 million in decrease expenses related to personnel expenses, approximately $0.4 million in decreased marketing expenses, and was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in professional fees related to the acquistion of WFI and $0.1 million increase in operational expenses related to the Georgia JV. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, which was $0.3 million in the period, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

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

 

Loss from equity investment

 

Loss from equity investments for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $24 thousand compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 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.

 

Interest Expense and Financing Fees

 

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we had net losses of approximately $4.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.6 million as of June 30, 2023. Approximately $1.4 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We had negative working capital of approximately $3.6 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had stockholder’s deficit of approximately $1.7 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 months of 2023, we received proceeds of approximately $2.7 million for the sale of our Common Stock and $0.7 million in proceeds from the sale of convertible notes. During the first six 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.

Cash Flows

 

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

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

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

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million was primarily related to the buildout infrastructure for our Tampa INVO Center. During the six months ended June 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.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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.

 

34
 

 

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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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:

 

1. Identify the contract with the customer.
   
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
   
3. Determine the total transaction price.
   
4. Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.
   
5. Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

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.

 

Equity Method Investments

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective or Adopted

 

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

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.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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 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 30, 2023.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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.

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

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 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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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 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.

 

Reclassifications

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.

 

Business Segments

 

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

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

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.

 

 

Equity Method Investments

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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.

 

Inventory

 

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.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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 months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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.

 

Income Taxes

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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:

 

1. Identify the contract with the customer.
   
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
   
3. Determine the total transaction price.
   
4. Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.
   
5. Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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.

 

Loss Per Share

 

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 months ended June 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.

Liquidity

Note 2 – Liquidity

 

Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs primarily through revenue collection, equity financings, and convertible notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.6 million as of June 30, 2023. Approximately $1.4 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 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 months of 2023, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million for the sale of its common stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) as well as approximately $0.7 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.

Consolidated VIEs

 

Bloom INVO, LLC

 

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 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 Georgia JV opened to patients on September 7, 2021.

 

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 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 months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Georgia JV recorded net losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million respectively. Noncontrolling interest in the Georgia JV was $0.

 

Unconsolidated VIEs

 

HRCFG INVO, LLC

 

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 Alabama JV opened to patients on August 9, 2021.

 

The Company determined the Alabama JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company will use the equity method to account for its interest in the Alabama JV. As of June 30, 2023, the Company invested $1.6 million in the Alabama JV in the form of a note. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Alabama JV recorded net income of $2 thousand, of which the Company recognized a gain from equity method investments of $805. For the six months ended June 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 $0.2 million.

 

Positib Fertility, S.A. de C.V.

 

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 Mexico JV opened to patients on November 1, 2021.

 

The Company determined the Mexico JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company will use the equity method to account for its interest in the Mexico JV. As of June 30, 2023, the Company invested $0.1 million in the Mexico JV. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Mexico JV recorded net losses of $74 thousand and $90 thousand, respectively, of which the Company recognized a loss from equity method investments of $24 thousand and $30 thousand, 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 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $nil and $452, respectively.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $nil and $904, 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 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.

Related Party Demand Notes

 

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 of issuance. At maturity, the Company agreed to pay outstanding principal, a 10% financing fee and accrued interest.

 

 

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 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.

 

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

 

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

 

Jan and March 2023 Convertible 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 be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective notes. For the six months ending June 30, 2023 the Company amortized $59,238 of the debt discount and as of June 30, 2023 had a remaining debt discount balance of $72,945.

 

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 months ended June 30, 2023 the Company incurred $17,456 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.

 

February 2023 Convertible Debentures

 

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 months ending June 30, 2023 the Company amortized $86,642 of the debt discount and as of June 30, 2023 had a remaining debt discount balance of $213,016.

 

Pursuant to the February Debentures, interest on the February Debentures accrues 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 months ended June 30, 2023 the Company incurred $8,444 in interest on the February Debentures.

 

All amounts due under the February Debentures are 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 is 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 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 outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $2,000,000 (the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the February Investors shall have 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 Company used $360,151 in 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. On August 8, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of $139,849 with proceeds from the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below).

 

The February Warrants include 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 of the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below), the February Warrants now entitle the February Investors to purchase a total 65,790 at a price of $2.85 per February Warrant Share.

February 2023 Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “ELOC”) and registration rights agreement (the “ELOC RRA”) with an accredited investor (the “Feb 3 Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Feb 3 Investor to purchase up to $10.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) of shares of Common Stock, in multiple tranches. Further, under the ELOC and subject to the Maximum Commitment Amount, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to submit notices to the Feb 3 Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock (i) in a minimum amount of not less than $25,000 and (ii) in a maximum amount of up to the lesser of (a) $750,000 or (b) 200% of the Company’s average daily trading value of the Common Stock.

 

Also on February 3, 2023, the Company issued to the Feb 3 Investor 7,500 shares of Common Stock for its commitment to enter into the ELOC.

 

The obligation of the Feb 3 Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC ends on the earlier of (i) the date on which the purchases under the ELOC equal the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) 24 months after the date of the ELOC (February 3, 2025), (iii) written notice of termination by the Company, (iv) the date that the ELOC RRA is no longer effective after its initial effective date, or (v) the date that the Company commences a voluntary case or any person or entity commences a proceeding against the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of federal or state bankruptcy law, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (the “Commitment Period”).

 

During the Commitment Period, the price that Feb 3 Investor will pay to purchase the shares of Common Stock that it is obligated to purchase under the ELOC shall be 97% of the “market price,” which is defined as the lesser of (i) the lowest closing price of our Common Stock during the 7 trading day-period following the clearance date associated with the applicable put notice from the Company or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock on the principal trading market for the Common Stock (currently, the Nasdaq Capital Market) on the trading day immediately preceding a put date.

 

March 2023 Registered Direct Offering

 

On March 23, 2023, INVO entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company 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 the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File 333-255096), initially filed by the Company 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. 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 March Warrant) 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, the Company 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 the Company. In the event the March Warrant is fully exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. Under the March Purchase Agreement, the Company may use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to (a) repay February Debentures, and (b) to pay the down payment for Wisconsin Fertility acquisition. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Company used $383,879 in proceeds to repay a portion of the February Debentures and related fees and interest and the remainder of the proceeds are being used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

Under the March Purchase Agreement, the Company is 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. The Company is 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.

Equity Incentive Plans

 

In October 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Plan. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company’s board of directors is authorized to grant stock options to purchase Common Stock, restricted stock units, and restricted shares of Common Stock to its employees, directors, and consultants. The 2019 Plan initially provided for the issuance of 25,000 shares. A provision in the 2019 Plan provides for an automatic annual increase equal to 6% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. In January 2023, the number of available shares increased by 36,498 shares bringing the total shares available under the 2019 Plan to 125,000.

 

Options granted under the 2019 Plan generally have a life of 3 to 10 years and exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Vesting for employees typically occurs over a three-year period.

 

The following table sets forth the activity of the options to purchase Common Stock under the 2019 Plan.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Schedule of Share-Based Payment Award, Stock Options, Valuation Assumptions

    Six months ended June 30,
    2023    2022 
Risk-free interest rate range   3.6-3.69 %    1.6 to 1.9 %

Expected stock price volatility   106.6-114.9 %    110.4 to 113.2 % 
Expected dividend yield   -%   -%

 

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates, the terms of which are consistent with the expected life of the stock options. Expected volatility is based upon the average historical volatility of the Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the related instrument. The expected life and estimated post-employment termination behavior is based upon historical experience of homogeneous groups, executives and non-executives, within the Company. The Company does not currently pay dividends on its Common Stock, nor does it expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

Income Taxes

Note 14 – Income Taxes

 

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 $2,865 for the three and six months ended June 30, compared to $800 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The annual forecasted effective income tax rate for 2023 is 0%, with a year-to-date effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023, of 0%.

Notices from Nasdaq of Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rules.

 

On July 11, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”), as of July 10, 2023, the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) will consider such non-compliance in its decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

The Company plans to timely submit to the Panel confirmation of its plan to regain compliance under the Rule, providing similar information to that presented to the Panel at the Company’s hearing on July 6, 2023.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company was granted a 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Rule through July 10, 2023. The Company was unable to do so by that date, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff’s notice.

 

On July 27, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Panel under which they granted its 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 August 4, 2023, the Company, entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional and other investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investors in a public offering (the “Offering”), 1,580,000 units (the “Units”) with each Unit consisting of (i) one share (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company, 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 aggregate of 1,580,000 Shares and Warrants to purchase 3,160,000 shares of Common Stock being sold in the Offering, at a price of $2.85 per Unit. The securities to be issued in the Offering were offered pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File 333-273174) (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on July 7, 2023 and declared effective on August 3, 2023.

 

The Company closed the Offering on August 8, 2023, raising gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used (i) $2,150,000 of the net proceeds to fund the initial installment of the purchase price required to consummate the 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; (iii) $100,000 to repay that certain 8% Debenture with a maturity date of February 3, 2024 issued to Peak One Opportunity Fund LP 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. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. 

 

Also in connection with the offering, on August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which (i) the Placement Agent agreed to act as placement agent on a “best efforts” basis in connection with the Offering and (ii) the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds (and 5% for certain investors) raised in the offering and warrants to purchase up to 110,600 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.14 (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants) were not registered under the Securities Act and were 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.

 

Wisconsin Fertility Institute Acquisition

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company, through Wood Violet Fertility LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and wholly owned subsidiary of INVO Centers LLC, a Delaware company wholly-owned by INVO, consummated its acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute (the “Clinic”) for a combined purchase price of $10 million, of which $2.5 million was paid on the closing date (net $2,150,000 after a $350,000 holdback) plus assumption of the inter-company loan owed by WFRSA in the amount of $528,756 and 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.

 

The Clinic 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 the Clinic’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 is purchasing the non-medical assets of WFRSA and one hundred percent of FLOW’s membership interests. As reflected in the WFRSA purchase agreement, the Buyer and WFRSA will enter into a management services agreement pursuant to which WFRSA will outsource all its non-medical activities to the Buyer.

Description of Business

Description of Business

 

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 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.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

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 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.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

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.

 

Business Segments

Business Segments

 

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

 

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

 

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.

 

 

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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.

 

Inventory

Inventory

 

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.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

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

Long- Lived Assets

 

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 months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

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:

 

1. Identify the contract with the customer.
   
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
   
3. Determine the total transaction price.
   
4. Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.
   
5. Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

 

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.

 

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share

 

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 months ended June 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.
