The Company
We are a development stage company that has recently begun to commercialize our provenin this prospectus and patented technology that we believe will revolutionize the treatment of infertility.  Our device, the INVOcell,those described elsewhere in this prospectus, and the INVO procedure are designedother documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, from time to provide an alternative infertility treatment fortime. These and other important factors could result in its estimates and assumptions being materially different from future results. You should read the patientinformation contained in this prospectus completely and with the understanding that future results may be materially different and worse from what the Company expects. See the information included under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any amendment and the clinician; it is less expensive and simpler to perform than current infertility treatments.  The simplicityinformation incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the INVO procedure relatesSecurities Act and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to the ability to potentially perform the infertility procedure in a physician’s practice rather than in a specialized facility at a much lower cost overall thanfuture events or conditions, and/or which include words such as “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “may,” “will” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing strategies or prospects, and possible future actions including any potential strategic transaction involving us, which may be provided by our management, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current infertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (“IVF”).  Therefore, we believe that the INVO procedure will be available in many more locations than conventional IVF especially outside the United States.  INVO also allows conceptionexpectations and embryo development to take place inside the woman's body; an attractive feature for most couples.

Through September 30, 2009, we have generated minimal revenues, have incurred significant expensesprojections about future events and have sustained losses.  Consequently, our operations are subject to allrisks, uncertainties, and assumptions about our company, economic and market factors, and the risks inherentindustry in which we do business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

The INVOcell Technology
Our product, the INVOcell medical device, is designed to treat infertility at a far lower cost than other treatments available in today’s marketplace, including IVF.  The INVO technology is a fertility treatment where either mild ovarian stimulation or no ovarian stimulation is used.  Using a mild stimulation protocol, 1-10 follicles are retrieved in a physician’s office with the patient under light sedation with or without local anesthesia.  The follicle retrieval is performed using a vaginal probe under ultrasound guidance.  Eggs are identified immediately after retrieval in the follicular fluid.  During the INVO procedure, fertilization and embryo development occurs inside the woman’s vaginal cavity in a disposable single use device -- the INVOcell -- that holds the eggs, sperm and culture medium.
Sperm collection and preparation generally occur before egg retrieval.  Nutrient medium (~1ml) is placed in the inner vessel of the INVOcell.  Eggs and a fraction of motile sperm are placed into the medium and the inner vessel is closed and secured in the protective outer rigid shell.  The INVOcell is placed in the patient’s vaginal cavity for an incubation period of 2-3 days.  A retention system can be used to maintain the INVOcell system in the vagina during the incubation period.  The retention system consists of a diaphragm with holes in the membrane to allow natural elimination of vaginal secretions.  The INVOcell is designed so that no vaginal fluids penetrate the outer vessel thus ensuring that the inner vessel is not contaminated.  Obtaining eggs, sperm and media then inserting them into the INVOcell and then placing it in the vagina takes approximately 90 minutes.
After 2-3 days, the patient returns to the physician’s office where the retention system and the INVOcell are removed.  The protective outer vessel is discarded and the inner vessel is placed in INVO Bioscience’s patented holding block in a vertical position for 15 minutes.  Embryos are collected in the micro chamber located at the bottom of the inner vessel.  The embryos can be directly viewed in the micro chamber in the holding block by using a microscope.  Embryos can be loaded directly from the device in a transfer catheter from the INVOcell device.  A trained clinician can readily identify the best embryos for transfer.  The embryos to be transferred are aspirated into a standard catheter for transfer into the patient’s uterus.  This second visit should take approximately 45 minutes.  All INVO related medical procedures can be performed in a physician’s office thereby avoiding the requirement of an IVF facility and the associated costs to build and maintain such a facility.

Our Equity Financing Facility with AGS Capital Group, LLC
On October 28, 2009, we entered into a Reserve Equity Financing Agreement, or REF, with AGS pursuant to which AGS committed to purchase, from time to time over a period of two years, shares of our common stock for cash consideration of up to $10 million, subject to certain conditions and limitations discussed below.  In connection with the REF, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with AGS, dated October 28, 2009. We have not engaged in prior securities transactions with AGS or any affiliates of AGS.
Theoutstanding shares of common stock that may be issued to AGS under the REF will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we have filed a registration statement,(and corresponding proportionate reduction of which this prospectus is a part, covering the possible resale by AGS of a portion of the shares that we may issue to AGS under the REF. Through this prospectus, the selling shareholder may offer to the public for resaleour authorized shares of our common stock that we may issuestock) prior to AGS pursuant to the REF.
This registration statement covers only a portion of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF with AGS. We may file subsequent registration statements covering the resale of additional shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF with AGS beginning approximately 60 days after we have substantially completed the sale to AGS under the REF of the shares subject to this registration statement.
For a period of 24 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The conversion and/or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding convertible securities, including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, and conversion of our outstanding convertible notes will be adjusted accordingly. All information presented in this prospectus assumes a 1-for20 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock (and corresponding proportionate reduction of our authorized shares of common stock), and unless otherwise indicated, all such amounts and corresponding conversion price and/or exercise price data set forth in this prospectus have been adjusted to give effect to the assumed reverse stock split.

Company Overview

We are a commercial-stage fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our flagship product is INVOcell, a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman’s body. Our primary mission is to implement new medical technologies aimed at increasing the availability of affordable, high-quality, patient-centered fertility care. 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 a more natural, intimate and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. The IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a lower cost than traditional in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) and is a part (the “significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination (“IUI”). 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) and the acquisition of existing IVF clinics, in addition to continuing to sell our technology solution into existing fertility clinics.

Registration StatementOperations

We operate with a core internal team and outsource certain operational functions in order to help accelerate our efforts as well as reduce internal fixed overhead needs 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, packaging/labeling and sterilization of the device to a contract medical manufacturing company that completes final product manufacturing as well as manages the gamma sterilization process at a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) registered contract sterilization facility.

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).

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 the 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, which is similar to most markets around the world.

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 may,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 practicing clinics at a range of $5,000 - $11,000 per cycle and from time$4,500 to time,$7,000 at our discretion,the existing INVO Centers, thereby making it more affordable than conventional IVF (which tends to average $12,000 to $17,000 per cycle or higher).

Improved efficiency providing for greater capacity and subjectimproved access to certain conditionscare 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, with volume often 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 must satisfy, draw down fundsare 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 dramatically open up access to care for 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 ethical or religious concerns, or fears of laboratory mix-ups.

Corporate History

We were formed on January 5, 2007 under the REFlaws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under the name Bio X Cell, Inc. to acquire the assets of Medelle Corporation (“Medelle”). Dr. Claude Ranoux purchased all of the assets of Medelle, and then he contributed those assets, including four patents (which have since expired) relating to the INVOcell technology, to Bio X Cell, Inc. upon its formation in January 2007.

On December 5, 2008, Bio X Cell, Inc., doing business as INVO Bioscience, and each of the shareholders of INVO Bioscience entered into a share exchange agreement and consummated a share exchange with Emy’s Salsa AJI Distribution Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Emy’s”). Upon the closing of the share exchange on December 5, 2008, the INVO Bioscience shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in INVO Bioscience to Emy’s. In connection with the share exchange, Emy’s changed its name to INVO Bioscience, Inc. and Bio X Cell, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Emy’s (re-named INVO Bioscience, Inc.).

On November 2, 2015 we were notified by the FDA that the INVOcell and INVO Procedure were granted clearance via the de novo classification (as a Class II device) allowing us to market the INVOcell in the United States. Following this approval, we began marketing and selling INVOcell in many locations across the U.S. We currently have approximately 140 trained clinics or satellite facilities in the U.S. where patients can receive guidance and treatment for the INVO Procedure.

Recent Developments

Amendment to Armistice SPA

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

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 AGS6,250,000 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, We intend to file 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 prior to effectiveness of this registration statement.

510(k) FDA Clearance

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

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 $10up 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. 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, 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. The purchase price of these shares will be 92%Company used $383,879 in proceeds to repay a portion of the “VWAP”convertible debenture issued in February 2023 and the remainder of the common stock duringproceeds are being used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the five consecutive tradingMarch Purchase Agreement, the Company is required within 30 days after we give AGSof the closing date of the March Warrant Placement to file a noticeregistration statement on Form S-1 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the resale of an advancethe shares of funds (an “Advance”)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 REF (the “Pricing Period”). “VWAP” generally means, asMarch 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 date,of the daily dollar volume weighted average pricefollowing, 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.

Execution of Definitive Agreements to Acquire the Wisconsin Fertility Institute

On March 16, 2023, INVO Bioscience Inc., a Nevada corporation (“INVO”), 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, entered into binding purchase agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute (the “Clinic”) for a combined purchase price of $10 million, including an asset purchase agreement with Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C., a Wisconsin professional service corporation d/b/a Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFRSA”) and The Elizabeth Pritts Revocable Living Trust and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Fertility Labs of Wisconsin, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“FLOW”)., IVF Science, LLC owned by Wael Megid Ph.D. and Dr. Elizabeth Pritts as trustee for the Elizabeth Pritts Revocable Living Trust.

The purchase price is payable in four installments of $2.5 million each (which payments may be offset by assumption of certain Clinic liabilities, payable at closing and on each of 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 additional $7.5 million in payments are secured by the Clinic having a lien on the assets purchased to acquire the Clinic.

The Clinic is comprised of (a) a medical practice, WFRSA, and (b) a laboratory services 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. The combined financial statements of WFRSA and FLOW are incorporated by reference into this prospectus as further described under “Experts” on page 50.

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 (the “Stockholders’ Equity 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) 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 by Bloomberg, L.P. or comparable financial news service.  The amountstockholders’ equity of an Advance will automatically be reduced by 50% if on any day during$1,287,224, which is below the Pricing Period,Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for continued listing. Additionally, as of the VWAP for that day doesdate of the Notice, we did not meet or exceed 85%either of the VWAP foralternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the five trading days prior toNasdaq Listing Rules, market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the notice of Advance (the “Floor Price”).

The REF does not prohibit us from raising additional debtmost recently completed fiscal year, or equity financings, other than financings similar to the REF.
Our ability to require AGS to purchase our common stock is subject to various conditions and limitations. The maximum amount of each Advance is 100%in two of the average daily trading volume forthree most recently completed fiscal years.

-4-

The Notice has no immediate effect on the five days immediately preceding the notice of Advance, as reported by Bloomberg or comparable financial news service (the “Maximum Advance Amount”).  In addition, unless AGS agrees otherwise, a minimum of five calendar days must elapse between each notice of Advance.

Before AGS is obligated to buy any shareslisting of our common stock pursuantand 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. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance.

On January 18, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq under which it stated that based on our submission that Nasdaq has determined to grant us an extension of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) until May 22, 2023. We must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report (e.g. a Form 8-K) which report, among other things, includes a description of the completed transaction or event that enabled us to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing After filing the publicly available report described above, if we fail to evidence compliance upon filing its periodic report for the June 30, 2023, with the SEC and Nasdaq, we may be subject to delisting. In the event we do not satisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a noticehearings panel.

On May 23, 2023, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Advance,Nasdaq that, based upon the following conditions, noneCompany’s non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”), as of May 22, 2023, the Company’s common stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

We have requested a hearing before the Panel, which is in AGS’s control, muststays any further action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing process concludes and any extension that may be met:

·  The Registration Statement (which includes this prospectus) shall have previously become effective and shall remain effective in accordance with and subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement.
·  We shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any applicable state in accordance with the registration rights agreement for the offer and sale of the shares of common stock, or shall have the availability of exemptions there from. The sale and issuance of the shares of common stock shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which we are subject.
·  There shall not be any fundamental changes to the information set forth in the Registration Statement which are not already reflected in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.
·  We shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the REF and the registration rights agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by us.
·  No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits the consummation of or which would materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the REF agreement, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting the consummation of or materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the REF.
2

·  The common stock is trading on a principal market (as defined in the REF, and including the OTC Bulletin Board). The trading of the common stock is not suspended by the SEC or the principal market. The issuance of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable closing will not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the principal market. We shall not have received any notice threatening the continued quotation of the common stock on the principal market and we shall have no knowledge of any event which would be more likely than not to have the effect of causing the common stock to not be trading or quoted on a principal market.
·  
The amount of an Advance shall not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. In no event shall the number of shares issuable to AGS pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by AGS and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock (“Ownership Limitation”). Any portion of an Advance that would cause AGS to exceed the Ownership Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn. For the purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
·  We have no knowledge of any event which would be more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective at closing.
·  AGS shall have received an Advance notice executed by an officer of ours and the representations contained in such Advance notice shall be true and correct.
There is no guarantee thatgranted by the Panel has expired. At the hearing, we will present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request the continued listing of its common stock pending the Company’s compliance with the Rule. There can be ableno assurances however that the Panel will agree to meet the foregoing conditions or any other conditions under the REFour request or that we will be able to draw downevidence compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing criteria within any portionextension of time that may be granted by the amounts available underPanel.

As previously disclosed, the REF.

The Registration Statement covers only 8,790,000 shares of common stock underStaff granted the REF.  The entire share requirement for the full $10 million under the REF would be approximately 32,938,000 based onCompany an assumed VWAP of $0.33 less the 8% discount.  However, we have decidedextension to limit ourselves to 8,790,000 shares available, or $2,668,000, based on current market prices.  If our share price rises, we will be able to draw down in excess of $2,668,000. If we decide to issue more than 8,790,000 shares, we will need to file one or more additional registration statementsevidence compliance with the SEC covering those additional shares. 
The REF contains representations and warranties by us and AGSRule through May 22, 2023. We were unable to do so, which are typical for transactions of this type.
AGS agreed that during the term of the REF, neither AGS nor any of its affiliates, nor any entity managed or controlled by it, will, or cause or assist any person to, enter into or execute any short sale of any shares of our common stock as definedresulted in Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act.  The REF also contains a variety of covenants by us which are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the obligation, without the prior written consent of AGS, not to enter into any other agreement similar to the REF with a third party during the term of the REF. 
The REF obligates us to indemnify AGS for certain losses resulting from a misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by us or breach of any obligation of ours. AGS also indemnifies us for similar matters.
We paid no fees, and are not obligated to pay any fees in the future, to AGS in connection with the REF, other than a due diligence fee of $10,000, all of which has been paid as of the date hereof.
We may terminate the REF effective upon fifteen trading days’ prior written notice to AGS; provided that (i) there are no Advances outstanding, and (ii) we have paid all amounts owed to AGS pursuant to the REF. The obligation of AGS to make an Advance to us pursuant to the REF shall terminate permanently if (i) there shall occur any stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for an aggregate of 50 trading days, or (ii) we shall at any time fail materially to comply with certain covenants specified in the REF and such failure is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice from AGS, subject to exceptions.

The issuance of our shares of common stock under the REF will have no effect on the rights or privileges of existing holders of common stock except that the economic and voting interests of each stockholder will be diluted as a result of the issuance of our shares.  Although the number of shares of common stock that stockholders presently own will not decrease, these shares will representStaff’s determination.

Notice Regarding Failure to Maintain Minimum Bid Price

On January 11, 2023, we received a smaller percentage of our total shares that will be outstanding after any issuances of shares of common stock to AGS.  If we draw down amounts under the REF when our share price is decreasing, we will need to issue more shares to raise the same amount than if our stock price was higher.  Such issuances will have a dilutive effect and may further decrease our stock price. An example of the effect of issuing shares when our stock price is comparatively low is set forth below.

Under the REF, the purchase price of the shares to be sold to AGS will be at a discount of 8%letter from the volume weighted averagestaff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq listing qualifications group indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for eachthe 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 Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The notice has no immediate effect on the five trading days followinglisting of our election to sell shares to AGS. The table below illustrates an issuance of shares of common stock, and our common stock will continue to AGStrade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the REF for a hypothetical draw down amountsymbol “INVO.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of $50,000180 calendar days, or until July 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at an assumed volume weighted average price of $0.33, which is equal toany time before July 10, 2023, the closing bid price of our common stock oncloses at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the OTC Bulletin Board on December 11, 2009.

Draw Down        Price to be Paid by  Number of Shares 
Amount  VWAP  % Discount  AGS  to be Issued 
$50,000  $0.33   8%    $0.30   164,690 
By comparison,minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If we do 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) meets 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) notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency within such second 180 calendar day period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

We will continue to monitor the volume weighted averageclosing bid price of our common stock was lower than $0.33, the number of shares that we would be requiredand will consider implementing available options to issue in order to have the same draw down amount of $50,000 would be larger, as shown by the following table:

Draw Down        Price to be Paid by  Number of Shares 
Amount  VWAP  % Discount  AGS  to be Issued 
$50,000  $0.30   8%    $0.276   181,160 
Accordingly, the effect of the second example outlined above from the first example outlined above, would be dilution of an additional 16,470 shares issued due to the lower stock price. In effect, a lower price per share of our common stock means a higher number of shares to be issued to AGS, which equates to greater dilution of existing stockholders. The effect of this dilution may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to decrease further, both because of the downward pressure on the stock price that would be caused by a large number of sales of our shares into the public market by AGS, and because our existing stockholders may disagree with a decision to sell shares to AGS at a time when our stock price is low, and may in response decide to sell additional numbers of shares, further decreasing our stock price.
There is no limit to the number of shares that we may be required to obtain funds from the REF as it is dependent upon our trading volume and share price, which varies from day to day. This also could cause significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock. The following table shows the effect on the number of shares required for an Advance for the value of the full $10 million REF, in the event the common stock price declines by 25%, 50% and 75% from the trading price.
     Price Decreases By 
  12/11/2009   25%   50%   75% 
VWAP during the Purchase Period (as defined above)         $     0.33   $    0.248   $   0.165   $0.083 
Purchase Price (defined above as 92% of the VWAP)  $     0.304   $    0.228   $    0.152   $  0.076 
Number Subject to the REF if 100% of the REF is Executed.  32,938,076   43,917,435   65,876,152   131,752,306 
We entered into the REFregain compliance with the intention to grow our business, which in turn should increase our value. Because ofminimum bid price requirement under the nature of the REF it appears unlikely thatNasdaq Listing Rules. If we will be able to draw down the full $10 million without significant positive value being added as a result of the aggregate draw downs. In addition, as reflected above, if our share price declines significantly and we still desire to draw down on the REF, in addition to having to file one or more additional registration statements, we may need to amend our charter to increase our authorized shares of common sock, which is currently 200 million shares.

Placement Agent
We engaged Gilford Securities, Inc. (“Gilford”) to act as placement agent on a non-exclusive basis in connectiondo not regain compliance with the REF.  Gilfordminimum bid price requirement within the allotted compliance periods, we will receive a cash commission equaling six percent (6%) of the total proceeds received by uswritten notification from the sale ofNasdaq that its securities sold to AGS.  In addition, we have issued to Gilford and/or its designees, for a total cost of one dollar, 600,000 shares of our common stock.  If we elect to (and have the ability to) have a closing under the REF on more than $6,000,000, then we shall issue and sell to Gilford and/or its designees, for a total cost of one dollar, an additional 400,000 shares of our common stock.
We agreed to pay all reasonable expenses, not to exceed $10,000, incurred by Gilford in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the definitive documents in connection with the REF, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and consulting expenses, in two installments.  The first installment of $5,000 was paid in connection with the execution of the definitive documents, and the balance will be due upon the first funding under the REF based on actual expenses.   The placement agent agreement also contains customary mutual indemnification provisions.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our shares of common stock is very risky.  Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the risks described in this prospectus.  If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the price of our shares could decline significantly, and you might lose all or a part of your investment.  The risk factors described below are not the only ones that may affect us.  Our forward-looking statements in this prospectus are also subject to the following risks and uncertainties.  In deciding whether to purchase our shares, you should carefully consider the following factors, among others, as well as information contained in this prospectus.
Risks Relating to Our Company

Our business has posted net operating losses, has limited operating history and our independent certified public accountants have raised doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, our independent auditor issued a report relating to our audited financial statements which contains a qualification with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern because, among other things, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profits from operations in the future or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they come due. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  

As reflected in our most recent unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred a net loss for the most recent three months ended September 30, 2009 of $3,409,000 and a cumulative net loss of $6,586,000, a working capital deficiency of $4,677,000, a stockholder deficiency of $4,577,000 and cash used in operations of $673,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The adverse effects of a limited operating history include reduced management visibility into forward sales, marketing costs, and customer acquisition, which could lead to missing targets for achievement of profitability.
5

We need additional capital to continue operations; if we do not raise additional capital, we will need to curtail or cease operations.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock and convertible notes and loans from management.  On September 30, 2009, we had $194,405 in cash.  To execute on our business plan successfully, we will need to raise additional money in the future.  Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.  The exact amount of funds raised, if any, will determine how quickly we can complete our clinical trials that are required to receive FDA approval to market and sell our products in the United States and how aggressively we can grow our business internationally.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise capital when needed or at all, or that such capital, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us.  If we are not able to raise additional capital, we will likely need to curtail or cease operations.  Although we have entered into the REF with AGS, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any capital pursuant to the REF. Other than the REF, we currently have no commitments for funding. If adequate funds are not available when required, we will need to curtail or cease operations.

We are required by the FDA to conduct a clinical trial related to our INVOcell device. As noted above, we need additional capital to undertake the clinical trial.  In addition, the clinical trial may prove unsuccessful.  If unsuccessful, we will not be able to market and sell our product in the United States, which would materially adversely affect our US business.
We are looking to use some of the funds from the REF to conduct a clinical trial related to the INVOcell device. We anticipate that it will take nine months and approximately $1,000,000 of funding to complete the data collection on all required subjects, analyze the data, have an independent audit and submit the full 510(k) to the FDA.  The FDA has 90 days to review the submission from INVO Bioscience.  All preclinical data and testing has been completed and reviewed by FDA.  There is no assurance that our clinical trial will be successful.  An unsuccessful trial would affect the marketability in the U.S. of this product in the future and will prevent the receipt of FDA clearance, which would materially adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to significant competition, including from more established infertility treatments such as IVF.

The infertility industry is highly competitive and characterized by technological improvements.  New artificial reproductive technology (“ART”) services, devices and techniques may be developed that may render obsolete the INVOcell.  Competition in the areas of infertility and ART services is largely based on pregnancy rates and other patient outcomes.  Accordingly, the ability of our business to compete is largely dependent on our ability to achieve adequate pregnancy rates and patient satisfaction levels.  Our business operates in highly competitive areas that are subject to continual change.  New health care providers and medical technology companies entering the market may reduce our market share, patient volume and growth rates.  Additionally, increased competitive pressures may require usdelisting. We would then be entitled to commit more resourcesappeal that determination to our marketing efforts, thereby increasing our cost structure and affecting our profitability.a Nasdaq hearings panel.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents that we must expandincorporate by reference herein before you decide to invest in our securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the scope of our servicesrisks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the bioscience industry.  This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational and sales systems.  We expectdocuments incorporated by reference herein. Investors are further advised that we will need to continue to improve our INVO technology, operating procedures and management information systems.  We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees.  Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.


Our internal growth strategyrisks described below may not be successful whichthe only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may resultalso negatively impact our business operations or financial results. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in a negative impact onthis prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our growth, financial condition,business, results of operations and cash flow.

Onefinancial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our strategies issecurities.

Risks Related to grow internally through increasing the customers we target.  However, many obstacles to this expansion exist, including, but not limited to, increased competition from similar businesses, unexpected costs, costs associated with marketing efforts and maintaining a strong client base.  Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our services in any additional markets.  Proposed Acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute

Our inability to implement this internal growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact on our growth, future financial condition, resultspotential acquisition of operations or cash flows.


Our products incorporate intellectual property rights developed by us that may be difficult to protect or may be found to infringe on the rights of others.

While we currently own four patents, there can be no assurance that any of these patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that any rights granted under these patents will in fact provide competitive advantages to us.  The United States, European Union and other jurisdictions could place restrictions on the patentability of medical devices. Any limitations on the patentability of medical devices may materially adversely affect our business.  We utilize a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality policies, non-disclosure and other contractual arrangements in addition to relying on patent, copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property rights.  However, these measuresWisconsin Fertility Institute may not be adequateclose.

On March 16, 2023, we signed definitive acquisition agreement to prevent or deter infringement or other misappropriation.  Moreover, we may not be ableacquire the Wisconsin Fertility Clinic (“WFI”). This transaction is subject to detect unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to establish and enforce our proprietary rights.  In fact, existing laws of some countries in which we conduct business or intend to conduct business offer only limited protection of our intellectual property rights, if at all.  As the number of market entrantscertain customary closing conditions, as well as an initial cash payment of approximately $2.5 million less certain assumed liabilities and a holdback. We have not currently secured sufficient funds to make the complexityinitial closing payment which may impact our ability to close the transaction. In the event that we are unable to consummate our acquisition of the technology increases, the possibility of functional overlap and inadvertent infringement of intellectual property rights also increases.  Our limited capital resources could put us at a disadvantage if we are required to take legal action to enforce our intellectual property rights.

6

We must defend our intellectual property rights from infringement through extensive legal action.

Third parties may assert in the future claims against us alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights.  Defending such claims may be expensive, time consuming and divert the efforts of our management and/or technical personnel.   As a   result of litigation, we could be required to pay damages and other compensation, develop non-infringing products or enter   into royalty or licensing agreements.  However, we cannot be certain that any such licenses, if available at all,Wisconsin Fertility Institute, it will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms.
We face potential liability as a provider of a medical device.  These risks may be heightened in the area of artificial reproduction.

The provision of medical devices entails the substantial risk of potential claims of tort injury claims.  We do not engage in the practice of medicine or assume responsibility for compliance with regulatory requirements directly applicable to physicians.  Although we currently maintain product liability insurance that we believe is adequate as to risk and amount, successful claims could exceed the limits of our insurance and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.  Moreover, there canand results of operation.

We may not be no assuranceable to successfully integrate the Wisconsin Fertility Institute into INVO Bioscience and achieve the benefits expected to result from the acquisition.

The proposed acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute may present challenges to management, including the integration of the operations, and personnel of INVO Bioscience and the Wisconsin Fertility Institute and special risks, including possible unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated integration costs and diversion of management attention.

We cannot assure you that we will besuccessfully integrate or profitably manage WFI’s business. Even if we are able to obtain such insurance on commercially reasonable terms inintegrate and profitably manage WFI’s business, we cannot assure you that, following the futuretransaction, our business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any such insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential claims.  In addition, a claim asserted against us could be costly to defend, could consume management resources and could adversely affectfuture period.

If we close our reputation and business, regardlessacquisition of the merit or eventual outcomeWisconsin Fertility Institute and fail to make the required $7.5 million in additional payments, our business would be adversely affected.

Following closing of such claim.


Thereour pending acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute, if consummated, we would be required to make additional payments of approximately $7.5 million, which payments are inherent risks specificsecured the sellers having a lien on the assets purchased to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute. If we default on our additional payment obligations to the provision of infertility and ART services.  For example, the long-term effects on womensellers of the administration of fertility medication, integralWisconsin Fertility Institute, such sellers could exercise their rights and remedies under acquisition agreements, which could include seizing the assets sold to most infertility and ART services, are of concernus to certain physicians and others who fearacquire the medication may prove to be carcinogenic or cause other medical problems.  Currently, fertility medication is critical to most infertility and ART services and a ban by the FDA or foreign regulatory or other limitation on its useWisconsin Fertility Institute. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on our business.

business and prospects.

We may incur debt financing to provide the cash proceeds necessary to acquire the Wisconsin Fertility Institute. If we were unable to service any such debt, our business would be adversely affected.

In order to finance our proposed acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute, we may look to secure debt financing. Any such debt financing would likely require us to pledge all or substantially all of our assets as collateral. If we were unable to any such debt obligation and fail to maintain adequate quality standards for our products, our business maypay such debt obligations in a timely fashion, we would be adversely affectedin default under such debt financing agreement and our reputation harmed.

Our customers are expecting that our products will perform as we claim.  Our manufacturing companiessuch lender could exercise its rights and packaging processes will be relied up on heavily.  A failure to sustain the specified quality requirementsremedies under such debt financing agreements, which could result in the loss of demand for our products.  Delays or quality lapses in our outsourced production lines could result in substantial economic losses to us.  Although we believe that our continued focus on quality throughout the Company adequately addresses these risks, there can be no assurance that we will not experience occasional or systemic quality lapses in our outsourced manufacturing and service operations.  We have limited manufacturing capabilities, and if our manufacturing capabilities are insufficient to produce an adequate supply of products at appropriate quality levels, our growth could be limited and our business could be harmed.  If we experience significant or prolonged quality problems, our business and reputation may be harmed, which may result in the loss of customers, our inability to participate in future customer product opportunities and reduced revenue and earnings.

We depend on our key management personnel and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.

We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilitiesinclude seizing all of our executive officers, Kathleen Karloff and Claude Ranoux.  The loss of the services of our executive officers couldassets. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on our business operations, revenuesand prospects.

Risks Related to Our Need for Additional Capital

We will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or prospects.  at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate operations.

We do not maintain key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.

Currency exchange fluctuations may affect the results ofexpect that our operations.

We intend to distribute our INVOcell product throughout the world.  We intend to transact our international sales in U.S. dollars, and European, Latin American and Asian currencies.  Our results of operations thuscurrent cash position will be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  Although we may insufficient to fund our current operations for the future enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts from time to time to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuation, our results of operations might still be impacted by foreign currency exchange rates.  Becausenext 12 months and we do not anticipate that we will hedge against allhave sufficient funds to consummate our acquisition of our foreign currency exposure, our business will continue to be susceptible to foreign currency fluctuations.

We are subject to risks in connection with changes in international, national and local economic and market conditions because of global developments.

the Wisconsin Fertility Institute. Our business is subject to risks in connection with changes in international, national and local economic and market conditions because of global developments.  Beyond the risks of doing business internationally, there is also the potential impact of changes in the international, national and local economic and market conditionsoperating plan may change as a result of global developments, includingmany factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the effects of global financial crisis, effects of terrorist acts and war on terrorism, U.S. and Canadian presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential conflictcurrent economic environment may present additional challenges.

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to pay for fertility treatment arounddevelop and commercialize our product candidates.

International sales are expected to account for a significant partany financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our revenue especiallystockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in the ensuing period beforeincreased fixed payment obligations and we obtain FDA clearance, if ever.may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We will experience additional risks associatedcould also be required to seek funds through arrangements with these sales including:
• political and economic instability;
• export controls;
• changes in legal and regulatory requirements;
• United States and foreign government policy changes affecting the markets for our products; and
• changes in tax laws and tariffs.
Anycollaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of these factors couldour technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results of operations and financial condition.  We sell our products in certain international markets mainly through independent distributors.  If a distributor fails to meet annual sales goals, it may be difficult and costly to locate an acceptable substitute distributor.  If a change in our distributors becomes necessary, we may experience increased costs, as well as a substantial disruption in operations and a resulting loss of revenue.

We are subject to significant regulation by the government and other regulatory authorities.

Our business is heavily regulated in the United States and internationally.  In addition to the FDA, various other federal, state and local regulations also apply.  If we fail to comply with FDA or other regulatory requirements, we could be subjected to civil and criminal penalties, or even required to suspend or cease operations.  Any such actions could severely curtail our sales.   In addition, more restrictive laws, regulations or interpretations could be adopted, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect our business.  We devote substantial resources to complying with laws and regulations; however, the possibility cannot be eliminated that interpretations of existing laws and regulations will result in findings that we have not complied with significant existing regulations.  Such a finding could materially harm our business.   Moreover, healthcare reform is continually under consideration by regulators, and we do not know how laws and regulations will change in the future.

Changes in the healthcare industry may require us to decrease the selling price for our products or could result in a reduction in the size of the market for our products, each of which could have a negative impact on our financial performance.
Trends in managed care, healthcare cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives in the U.S. and other countries in which we do business could place increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies, which could work in our favor unless more cost-effective devices become available, which could adversely affect the sale and/or the prices of our products.  There are proposed and existing laws and regulations in domestic and international markets regulating pricing and profitability of companies in the healthcare industry.  There have been initiatives by third-party payers to challenge the prices charged for medical products, which could affect our ability to sell products on a competitive basis in the future.  There has been a consolidation among healthcare facilities and purchasers of medical devices in the U.S. who prefer to limit the number of suppliers from whom they purchase medical products, and these entities may decide to stop purchasing our products or demand discounts on our prices.  Both the pressure to reduce prices for our products in response to these trends and the decrease in the size of the market because of these trends could adversely affect our levels of revenues and profitability of sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of U.S. federal securities laws, which can be expensive.

We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited financial statements to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we had remained privately-held.  In addition, it may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.   We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.  prospects.

If we are unable to comply withobtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we can raise additional funding, we may be required to do so on terms that are dilutive to you.

The capital markets have been unpredictable in the internal controls requirementspast for unprofitable companies such as ours. In addition, it is generally difficult for development stage companies to raise capital under current market conditions. The amount of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,capital that a company such as ours is able to raise often depends on variables that are beyond our control. As a result, we may not be able to obtainsecure financing on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we are able to consummate a financing arrangement, the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.


Public company complianceamount raised may make it more difficultnot be sufficient to attractmeet our future needs. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, including our results of operations, financial condition and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.  As a public entity, we expect these rules and regulations to increase compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly.  As a public entity, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it mayour continued viability will be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.

AGS has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If AGS sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, AGS may have a further incentive to sell thepurchase shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may put further downward pressurebeing offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including The NASDAQ Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

Holders of our warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire our common stock.

Until you acquire shares of our common stock price.upon exercise of the warrants, you will have no rights with respect to shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

Our

The warrants are speculative in nature.

The warrants offered hereby merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock are very thinly traded,at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the warrants may acquire the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $               per share. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the warrants is uncertain and the price may not reflect our value; there can be no assurance that therethe market value of the warrants will be an active market for our shares nowequal or in the future.


We have a trading symbol for our common stock ("IVOB”), which permits our shares to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is a quotation medium for subscribing members, not an issuer listing service.  However, our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price, if traded, may not reflect our value.exceed their public offering price. There can be no assurance that therethe market price of the common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the warrants and consequently, whether it will ever be an active marketprofitable for ourholders of the warrants to exercise the warrants.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

If you purchase shares of common stock either now or in the future.  The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors.  There can be no assurances that there will be any awareness generated.  Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflectsthis offering, the value of the business.  If a more active market should develop,your shares based on our actual book value will immediately be less than the price may be highly volatile.  Because there may be a lowyou paid. This reduction in the value of your equity is known as dilution. This dilution occurs in large part because our existing stockholders paid less than the assumed public offering price for ourwhen they acquired their shares of common stock. Based upon the issuance and sale of               shares of common stock many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactionsby us in our securities.  Even ifthis offering at an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transactionassumed public offering price of $             per share, you will incur immediate dilution of $              in the sharesnet tangible book value per share of common stock. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, or if outstanding options to purchase our common stock the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price.  Further, many lending institutionsare exercised, investors will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses, which could adversely affect investors in our stock.

We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include:
o  control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers;
o  manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading statements made by parties unrelated to the issuer;
o  “boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
o  excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
o  wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
We believe that many of these abuses have occurred with respect to the promotion of low price stock companies that lacked experienced management, adequate financial resources, an adequate business plan and/or marketable and successful business or product.

Our controlling stockholders may take actions that conflict with your interests.

Certain of our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 54.1% of our outstanding common stock as of the date hereof.  Our officers and directors will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions, and they will have significant control over our management and policies.  The directors elected by these stockholders will be able to influence decisions affecting our capital structure significantly.  This control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.experience additional dilution. For example, our controlling stockholders will be able to control the sale or other disposition of our operating businesses and subsidiaries to another entity.
more information, see “Dilution.”

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of revenues,profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.  The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers,the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuerthe shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future.  In fact,future, although such fluctuations may not reflect a material change to our financial condition or operations during the period from January 1, 2009 until September 30, 2009, the high and low sale prices of a share of our common stock were $0.05 and $5.50, respectively. Theany such period. Such volatility in our share price iscan be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common stock is, compared to the shares of our common stock aresuch larger, more established companies, sporadically and/orand thinly traded.  As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our sharescommon stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stockshares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.


demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of meaningful revenues and profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our products and services.date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.

You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common stock: uncertainty regarding the amount and price of sales of our common stock to AGS under the REF; actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments; and additions or departures of our key personnel.larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock regardless of our operating performance.

In addition to being highly volatile, our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
actual or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally;
market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole;
actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
developments in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies;
announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

-10-

announcements by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry;
sales of our common stock or other securities by us or in the open market;
changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those resulting from such events, or the prospect of such events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States or elsewhere, could disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of our suppliers or result in political or economic instability.

In addition, if the market for healthcare stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We cannot makehave been notified by Nasdaq of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq. Additionally, if Nasdaq does not grant us an extension or if a favorable decision is not obtained from a hearings panel, or the Panel, after the hearing, our common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq.

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

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

The Notice has 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 Stockholders’ Equity Notice, Nasdaq gave us 45 calendar days, or until January 7, 2023, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance.

On January 18, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq under which it stated that based on our submission that Nasdaq has determined to grant us an extension of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) until May 22, 2023. We must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report (e.g. a Form 8-K) which report, among other things, includes a description of the completed transaction or event that enabled us to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing After filing the publicly available report described above, if we fail to evidence compliance upon filing its periodic report for the June 30, 2023, with the SEC and Nasdaq, the Company may be subject to delisting. In the event we do not satisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

-11-

On May 23, 2023, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”), as of May 22, 2023, the Company’s common stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

We have requested a hearing before the Panel, which stays any predictionsfurther action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing process concludes and any extension that may be granted by the Panel has expired. At the hearing, we will present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request the continued listing of its common stock pending the Company’s compliance with the Rule. There can be no assurances however that the Panel will hear our request or projectionsthat we will be able to evidence compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing criteria within any extension of time that may be granted by the Panel.

As previously disclosed, the Staff granted the Company an extension to evidence compliance with the Rule through May 22, 2023. We were unable to do so, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff’s determination.

In addition, on January 11, 2023, we received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq listing qualifications group 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 Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been 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 closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If we do 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) meets 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) notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency within such second 180 calendar day period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

We will continue to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and will consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the allotted compliance periods, we will receive a written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting. We would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance during either compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

In the event that our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to whatcomply with either the prevailingStockholders’ Equity Requirement or the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or as a result of Nasdaq not granting us an extension or the Panel not granting us a favorable decision, or due to our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and is not eligible for listing on another exchange, trading in the shares of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, willand it would likely be at any time, including asmore difficult to whetherobtain coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock will sustain itsto decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.

-12-

In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-l, 15g-l, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our shares have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers for sales of penny stocks may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market price,liquidity of such shares and impede their sale in the secondary market.

A U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or as“accredited investor” (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to what effect that the transaction prior to sale, of sharesunless the broker-dealer or the availabilitytransaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include: (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Shares eligible for future sale by our current shareholderscommon stock or other securities may adversely affect our common stock price.

To date,

In order to raise additional capital, we have had a limited trading volumemay in the future offer additional shares of our common stock.  As longstock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this condition continues,offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the saleprice per share paid by the investor in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of a significant numberour common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered.under our stock incentive programs. In addition, the sale of shares in this offering and any future sales of a substantial amountsnumber of shares of our common stock including shares issued uponin the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, under SEC Rule 144public market, or otherwisethe perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

-13-

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, and any issuance of additional common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, could dilute common stockholders. We may issue additional common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, pursuant to our shelf registration statement (including our at-the-market facility), upon exercise of outstanding warrants, for additional financing purposes, in connection with strategic transactions such as acquisitions or collaboration agreements, or otherwise, any of which could result in dilution to existing stockholders.

The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Shares of our common stock held by certain other of our stockholders are eligible for resale, subject to volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of our common stock to decline.

As restrictions on resale end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of our common stock or other securities.

In addition, the shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. We have filed registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to our equity incentive plan and our employee stock purchase plan and may in the future file one or more additional registration statements on FormS-8 for the same or similar purposes. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.

Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital at that time through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our securities.  On December 11, 2009, approximately 39,500,000 sharesshares.

We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity, warrants and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our common stock. Additionally, we may finance strategic alliances and/or acquisitions by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock became subject to resale under Rule 144 asand in any event may have a result ofdilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the expiration of the one-year period following our filing of the From 8-K reporting our share exchange. Sales of a substantial number of such shares could adversely affect our stock price.

We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or by AGS in connection with the REFissuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of common stock.

If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to sell their shares, ornew securities over common stockholders, it may encourage short selling by market participants, whichnegatively impact the trading price of our shares of common stock.

We could contribute to a declineissue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our stock price. The registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the REF requirescharter documents could discourage a takeover that we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the registration statement in connection with the REF remains effective for the termstockholders may consider favorable.

Our Articles of such agreement.  As of the date hereof, we have not drawn down funds and have not issued shares of our common stock under our REF. Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the REF requires the continued effectiveness of and the ability to use the registration statement that we filed registering the resale of any shares issuable to AGS under the REF.


Our directors have the right to authorizeIncorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of our“blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and additional shares of our common stock.

Our directors, within the limitations and restrictions contained in our Articles of Incorporation and without further action by our shareholders, have the authority to issue shares of preferred stockpreferences as may be determined from time to time in one or moreby the Board. The Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series.  While we have no intention of issuing shares of preferred stock atwith dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the present time, we continue to seek to raise capital throughinterest of, or impair the salevoting power of, our securities and may issue shares of preferred stock in connection with a particular investment.  Anycommon stockholders.

We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock at a later time, each investor’s ownership interest in our stock would be proportionally reduced.  No investor will have any preemptive right to acquire additional shares of our common stock, or any of our other securities.


If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as INVO Bioscience, must be reporting issuers under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the investment value of our stock.

Our shares of common stock are “penny stocks” because they are not registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, pursuant to Rule 3a51-1(a) under the Exchange Act.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require, among other things:

o  That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks;
o  That the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased;
o  The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotationsCommon Stock for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock and warrants in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed offering price per share of its common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of its common stock immediately after the offering. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of the Company’s total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of its common stock outstanding.

The historical net tangible book value (deficit) of our common stock as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $(2.8) million or $3.43 per share based upon shares of common stock outstanding on such date. Historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents the amount of its total tangible assets reduced by the amount of its total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the Company’s sale of all of the ___________ shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $___ per share after deducting estimated placement agent fees and the Company’s estimated offering expenses, the Company’s pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023 would have been $________ or $___ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $__ per share to the Company’s existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $___ per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed public offering price per share$
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2023$
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors in this offering
Pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value, after this offering
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering$

The information discussed above is illustrative only, and the dilution information following this offering will be adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $___ per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $___ per share and increase (decrease) the dilution to new investors by $___ per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated Placement Agent fees and estimated expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares it is offering. An increase of 100,000 shares offered by it would increase the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $___ per share and decrease the dilution to new investors by $___ per share, assuming the assumed public offering price of $___ per share remains the same and after deducting the estimated Placement Agent fees and estimated expenses payable by the Company. Similarly, a decrease of 100,000 shares offered by the Company would decrease the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $___ per share and increase the dilution to new investors by $___ per share, assuming the assumed public offering price of $___ per share remains the same and after deducting the estimated Placement Agent fees and estimated expenses payable by us.

The number of shares of common stock outstanding is based on 826,879 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023, and excludes the following:

348,127 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $15.11 per share;

122,428 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $42.00 per share.

ThisThe following discussion includescontains forward-looking statements that involve riskreflect our plans, estimates and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in this prospectus under “Risk Factors,”beliefs. Our actual results maycould differ materially from those anticipateddiscussed in thesethe forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a development stagecommercial-stage fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Our primary mission is to implement new medical technologies aimed at increasing the availability of affordable, high-quality, patient-centered fertility care. Our flagship product is INVOcell, a revolutionary medical device that has recently begun to commercialize our provenallows fertilization and patented technology that we believe will revolutionize the treatment of infertility.  Our device, the INVOcell, and the INVO procedure are designed to provide an alternative infertility treatment for the patient and the clinician; it is less expensive and simpler to perform than current infertility treatments.  The simplicity of the INVO procedure relates to the ability to potentially perform the infertility procedure in a physician’s practice rather than in a specialized facility at a much lower cost overall than current infertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (“IVF”).  Therefore, we believe that the INVO procedure will be available in many more locations than conventional IVF especially outside the United States.  INVO also allows conception andearly embryo development to take place insidein vivo within the woman's body; an attractive feature for most couples.

Our primary focuswoman’s body. This treatment solution is the saleworld’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 a more connected and intimate experience at a more affordable cost in comparison to in vitro fertilization (“IVF”), the other advanced ART treatment. The IVC procedure can deliver comparable results to IVF and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination.

While the INVOcell remains central to our efforts, our commercialization and corporate development strategy was 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 into existing IVF clinics.

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:

Eliminates expensive and time-consuming lab procedures, allowing 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, device and in clinical studies, the INVO technology to assist infertile couples in having a baby.  Our patentedIVC procedure has demonstrated equivalent pregnancy success and proven INVOcell technology is an effective low cost alternative to current treatments.  Along with being offeredlive birth rates as an option in traditional IVF clinics, the INVO technique may be provided in a physician’s office or a small labwhen comparing similar incubation periods and therefore, may be offered by physicians around the world to couples who do not have access to IVF facilities.  INVO uses a device, the INVOcell, which we currently sell to distributors around the world (outside of the U.S.) at prices ranging from $75 to $400.  Currently, we are only authorized to sell the INVOcell device in certain international markets. We do not expect to be able to sell the device in the United States until the first quarter of 2011, assuming we receive the necessary capital to complete our clinical trial and receive FDA clearance by such date.  We are establishing agreements with distributors and beginning to train physicians around the world in places such as South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.  While we penetrate the infertility markets in Europe and Canada along with certain developing countries, we anticipate pursuing the completion of the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) “510(k)” process.  We have completed the first step for medical device companies who manufacture Class 2 devices and the filing of a Premarket Notification with the FDA (patient demographics.

i.e.,Operations an FDA 510(k) submission).  Technically, the FDA does not “approve” Class 1 and 2 medical devices for sale in the U.S. they give “clearance” for them to be sold.  We are hoping to receive clearance to market in the U.S. by the end of 2010 upon completion of our clinical trial, which we will commence sometime after the start of funding from our REF with AGS Capital Group, LLC.  However, there can be no assurance that we will receive such clearance by that date or ever.

We operate by outsourcing many keywith a core internal team and outsource certain operational functions in the developmentorder to help advance our efforts as well as reduce fixed internal overhead needs and manufacturing of the INVOcell device to keep fixed costs to a minimum.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 following functions: manufacturing, packaging/assembly, packaging, labeling, and sterilization of the INVOcell device to a certified manufacturer to mold the parts; to a medical manufacturing company to assemble packages and label the product and to 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..

-18-

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: we are actively seeking to expand the labeling on our device, the indication for use, to cover a day 5 incubation period, in addition to the currently approved use of day 3 incubation. This may be accomplished with a prospective clinical study, which we previously designed and had the Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approve to evaluate the modified INVOcell system for effectiveness of achieving fertilization, implantation, embryo development, clinical pregnancy, and live birth after day 5 continuous vaginal incubation (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04246268). The objective of this study would be to assess the efficacy, safety, comfort and retention of the INVOcell with the retention device and demonstrate superior efficacy following day 5 vaginal incubation as compared to the current day 3 vaginal incubation indication. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we elected to place the trial on hold, but expect to move it forward with some improved design parameters this year. In the meantime, and as a result of available retrospective, real-market usage (day 5) data, we initiated an effort to pursue a 510(k) filing utilizing retrospective data as a separate effort to achieve our label enhancement. On June 22, 2023, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand the labeling on the INVOcell device and its indication for use to provide for a 5-day incubation period. The data supporting the expanded 5-day incubation clearance demonstrated improved patient outcomes.

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 expedites productionamounts to less than 3% of the infertile couples worldwide being treated and eliminatesonly 1% having a child though IVF. The industry remains capacity constrained which creates challenges in providing access to care to the volume of patients in need. A survey by “Resolve: The National Infertility Association,” indicates the two main reasons couples do not use IVF is cost and geographical availability (and/or capacity).

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

We estimate that approximately 200 of the United States IVF clinics are single-location, owner operated, and of these that approximately 80 to 100 clinics represent suitable acquisitions for the Company.

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 in-house capital equipment expenditures.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.

Recent Developments

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 our effortsthe 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, We intend to file 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 prior to effectiveness of this registration statement.

510(k) FDA Clearance

On June 22, 2023, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand the saleslabeling 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.

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. The Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable upon issuance and will remain exercisable until all of the INVO technology to new markets.  Operating results will depend upon andshares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant are exercised in full. All Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised by the investor in June 2023.

-23-

The March Warrant (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the timingexercise of signingthe Private Warrants) was not registered under the Securities Act and was offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of new distributor contractsthe 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. The Company used $383,879 in proceeds to repay a portion of the convertible debenture issued in February 2023 and the trainingremainder 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.

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 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising us that we were not in compliance with the INVO procedure.  International sales will continueminimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to be our only sourcemaintain stockholders’ equity of revenueat least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement). In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we reported stockholders’ deficit of $16,090, which, although improved from the $977,612 deficit recorded as of December 31, 2022, is below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for continued listing. Additionally, we do not meet either of the coming year.  We are awarealternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, market value of many significant international opportunities, and we expect international revenues to continue to grow.  International sales are, however, difficult to forecast.  Subject to having available financial resources, we are committed in our ongoing sales, marketing and development activities to sustain and grow our sales and revenueslisted securities of at least $35 million, or net income of $500,000 from our products and services.  

During the last year, we continued to market our products in strategic markets utilizing our limited resourcescontinuing operations in the most economical fashion possible. We focused our efforts on South America and parts of Europe as we see these as our best opportunities to introduce the INVO procedure to many willing physicians quickly.  During this period, we reduced our travel and planned trips furtherrecently completed fiscal year, or in advance to benefit from travel discounts, which reduced our travel expenses considerably.  We had a presence at the World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics held in Cairo, Egypt in October 2009, as we continued to introduce the INVOcell across new regionstwo of the Middle Eastthree most recently completed fiscal years.

The Stockholders’ Equity Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our Common Stock and Africa.  This annual meeting isour Common Stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the largest infertility conferencesymbol “INVO” subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements.

-24-

Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Equity Notice, Nasdaq gave us 45 calendar days, or until January 7, 2023, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance, which, if accepted by Nasdaq, may grant the Company an extension of physicians in Northern Africa and was feltup to be an essential component in gaining name recognition and traction in this part180 calendar days from the date of the world.

The INVOcell is cleared for use withinStockholders’ Equity Notice to evidence compliance.

On January 18, 2023, we received a particular country by its CE mark, but stillletter from Nasdaq under which it stated that based on our submission that Nasdaq has determined to grant us an extension of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) until May 22, 2023. We must undergo a registration process in certain countries because it is a Class II medical device.  In some countries, the process is relatively quick - approximately three to six weeks - while we have discovered in other countries it may take months.  While we are continuing to tendfurnish to the needsSEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report (e.g., a Form 8-K) which report, among other things, includes a description of the regional health organizationscompleted transaction or event that enabled us to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for registeringcontinued listing. After filing the INVOcell, INVO Bioscience has continuedpublicly available report described above, if we fail to actively train physicians and teach distributors in the INVOcell technology.  Physicians have demonstrated that their patients would like to see current success rates within their own geographic and cultural areas and therefore we are assisting them in sponsoring clinical marketing trials. As of September 30, 2009, we have the necessary approvals to sell the INVOcell device in the following countries: Canada, Colombia, Guatemala,Belgium, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Cyprus, Pakistan, Cameroon, Nigeria, South Africa and India. We have started the registration process in the following countries as well: Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Egypt, Russia and Taiwan,

Because of the registration process and delays to wait for “local results” in certain geographic and cultural areas, along with limited resources to assist in moving things forward in some countries, revenues were significantly less than anticipatedevidence compliance upon filing our periodic report for the quarter.  However,June 30, 2023, with the SEC and Nasdaq, we are startingmay be subject to receive registration notifications as well as receiving favorable initial local results that will be used for regional marketing campaigns.delisting. In addition to these developments, we are continuing to plan sales and training trips actively.  We believe that we will begin increasing revenues in the future; however, our growth is limited by both the registration processes that we must undertake as well as our limited capital resources, and therefore we anticipate that revenues will continue to be lower than originally anticipated for the next few quarters.  The registration process differs from a clinical approval, which the INVOcell has in the form of the CE mark; instead, the process is more akin to a governmental tracking to monitor what products are sold and used within its borders.
Our most significant challenge in growing our business has been our limited resources.  As of September 30, 2009, we generally require approximately $175,000 per month to fund our planned operations.  This amount may increase as we expand our sales and marketing efforts and develop new products and services; however, ifevent we do not raise additional capitalsatisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that our securities would be delisted. At that time, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a hearings panel.

On May 23, 2023, we were notified by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”), as of May 22, 2023, the near futureCompany’s common stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

We have requested a hearing before the Panel, which stays any further action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing process concludes and any extension that may be granted by the Panel has expired. At the hearing, we will havepresent a plan to curtail our spendingregain compliance with the Rule and downsize our operations.  Our cash needs are primarily attributable to funding our clinical trial, sales and marketing efforts, strengthening our training capabilities, satisfying existing obligations and building an administrative infrastructure, including costs and professional fees associatedrequest the continued listing of its common stock pending the Company’s compliance with being a public company. 

We believe we are taking the necessary steps to provide the capital resources we need to execute our business plan and grow the business as expected, including through the REF with AGS Capital Group, LLC, althoughRule. There can be no assurances can be madehowever that the Panel will agree to our request or that we will be able to draw downevidence compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing criteria within any extension of time that may be granted by the Panel.

As previously disclosed, the Staff granted the Company an extension to evidence compliance with the Rule through May 22, 2023. We were unable to do so, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff’s determination.

Notice Regarding Failure to Maintain Minimum Bid Price

On January 11, 2023, we received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq’s listing qualifications group indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our Common Stock for the previous 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 Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The notice has no immediate effect on the REF.  We also seek other sources of capital through private placementslisting of our securities.Common Stock, and our Common Stock will continue to trade on The exact amountNasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INVO.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of funds raised,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 closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If we do 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 any,necessary.

We will determine how aggressivelycontinue to monitor the closing bid price of our Common Stock and will consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If we can grow and what additional projectsdo not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the allotted compliance periods, we will receive a written notification from Nasdaq that our securities are subject to delisting. We would then be ableentitled to undertake, such as initiating the final required FDA clinical trial.  No assuranceappeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be givenno assurance that we will regain compliance during either compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Results of Operations

During the first quarter of 2023, we achieved several important developments. Our existing three INVO Centers made steady progress producing record quarterly revenue on a combined basis. We also made important progress toward opening our planned Tampa INVO Center. With respect to our previously announced acquisition strategy, we reached a major milestone by signing binding agreements to acquire Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”). WFI is a well-established and profitable clinic that would substantially increase the size and scope of our operations. We expect to close the acquisition during July 2023.

Looking ahead, we anticipate opening additional INVO Centers in key domestic, and select international, markets, and pursuing additional acquisitions. With respect to INVO Centers, we have selected an initial list or about 20 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 JV 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 March 31, 2023, and 2022

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $348 thousand compared to approximately $163 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Of the $348 thousand in revenue for the first three months of 2023, approximately $297 thousand was related to clinic revenue from the consolidated Georgia JV. The increase of approximately $185 thousand, or approximately 114%, was primarily related to increased revenue from the Georgia JV.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $275 thousand compared to approximately $98 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margins were approximately 79% and 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The gross margin improvement is primarily due to increased efficiencies at the Georgia JV.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were approximately $2.5 million compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or approximately 7%, was primarily the result of decreased non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, which was $0.5 million in the period, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

-26-

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 $74 thousand and $104 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Loss from equity investment

Loss from equity investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $27 thousand compared to $71 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 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 $217 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to approximately $0.1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenues

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.4 million, or 80% in the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to the termination of our agreement with Ferring, which resulted in the full recognition, in 2021, of the remaining $3.6 million in deferred revenue related to the Ferring agreement and was partially offset by an increase in 2022 clinic revenue. Excluding Ferring, revenue was $0.6 million last year compared to $0.8 million this year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Gross margin was 60% and 97% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to the change in revenue mix as we no longer have license revenue in 2022, as well as increase in clinic revenue which has lower percentage margins, but much higher revenue on a per procedure basis and the potential for higher margins on an absolute dollar basis.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $10.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of which $2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, was for non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. The increase of approximately $1.6 million or 17% was primarily the result of approximately $1.0 million in increased personnel expense, approximately $0.7 million in increased expenses related to the full-year operations of the consolidated Georgia JV, approximately $0.4 million in increased marketing spend and was partially offset by an approximate $0.3 million decrease in legal and startup costs related to new and potential INVO Centers and an approximate $0.6 million decrease in professional fees.

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 $0.5 million and $0.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase of approximately $0.3 million was primarily related to our FDA response efforts on the 5-day label expansion.

-27-

Loss from equity investment

Loss from equity investments for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $0.2 million and $0.3, respectively. The decrease in loss is due to the Alabama JV and Mexico JV being in start-up mode and operational for only a portion of 2021.

Other Income

Other income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was nil and $0.2 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million was the result of our Paycheck Protection Program note and related interest being forgiven in 2021.

Interest Expense and Financing Fees

Interest expense and financing fees were for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The decrease of approximately $1.2 million, or approximately 96%, was primarily due to a decrease in non-cash amortization of discount, debt issuance cost and interest on convertible notes.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2022, we had unused federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $32.8 million. These losses expire in various amounts at varying times beginning in 2027 with a portion carrying on indefinitely. Unless expiration occurs, these NOLs may be ableused to offset future taxable income and thereby reduce our income taxes.

We recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaling $9.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we had net losses of approximately $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $52.3 million as of March 31, 2023. Approximately $0.9 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We had negative working capital of approximately $1.6 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, we had stockholder’s equity of approximately $88 thousand compared to negative stockholder’s equity of approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

For the years ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, we had net losses of approximately $10.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The increase in net loss primarily was due to the increase in operating loss resulting from the absence of license revenue in 2022 and an increase in operating expenses. Approximately $3.0 million of the net loss was related to non-cash expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. We had negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to positive working capital of approximately $5.1 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we had negative stockholder’s equity of approximately $1.0 million compared to positive stockholder’s equity of approximately $7.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Cash used in operations for the year of 2022 was approximately $6.6 million, compared to approximately $6.0 million for the year of 2021.

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 three 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 three 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 capital when needed.  If we are unablefunding to raise additional capital,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 required to substantially curtail or cease operations.available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Although our audited financial statements for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Kyear ended December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that we havewould continue operations as a generated negative cash outflows from operating activities, experienced recurring net operating losses, and we are dependent on securing additional equity and debt financing to supportgoing concern, the report of our business efforts.  These factors among others raiseindependent 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.

Resultsconcern, 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 Operations
NineINVOcell 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 from Operating Activities

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $2.2 million in cash compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008

approximately $3.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Net Sales and Revenues
Net sales and revenuecash used in operating activities for the ninefirst three months ending September 30, 2009 were $56,300of 2023 was approximately $1.1 million, compared to no revenueapproximately $2.1 million for the same period in 2008.2022. The increasedecrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to starting international shipmentsthe increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation. As of small orders to our newly signed distributors as well as direct shipments to physicians who want to use the INVOcell.  We expect this trend to continue as we introduce the INVO technology into our targeted countries over the next few months while continuing to assist our current customer base in the Mid-East and South America. As noted above, our ability to generate revenues is also impacted by our ability to obtain appropriate approvals/registrations in local jurisdictions, as well as our success in raising additional capital to fund sales and marketing efforts.
Cost of Sales and Revenues
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 54%.  This is significantly higher than we expect in the future as we are producing small lot quantities and have higher shipping costs per unit as a result of the small volume shipments.  There were no sales or costs for the comparative period of 2008 with which to compare our results.  As our products become an accepted method of assisting couples with infertility and subject to raising additional capital, we expect to be manufacturing larger quantities of our devices, which in we expect will reduce our cost of sales.  Further, shipping larger quantities to distributors via common carriers will reduce our shipping costs.  Collectively, we anticipate that eventually these volume discounts would reduce our cost of sales by approximately 50%, or approximately 25% of revenues. 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,395,000 and $661,000, respectively.  Our higher general and administrative expenses in 2009 were due to expanding the marketing of our products and technology across the world outside of the United States.  During the initial six months of 2008,December 31, 2022, we had three senior employees who did not take a salary.  In 2009, we grew to six employees, all earning a salary as well as all the associated expenses that relate to them, including benefits and travel.  Salaries and benefits for the period were $680,000approximately $0.09 million in cash compared to $375,000approximately $5.7 million as of December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities in 2022, was approximately $6.6 million, compared to approximately $6.0 million for the same period ending September 30, 2008.  We incurred considerable travel costs as our employees continued to travel internationally to introduce the INVOcell and the INVO process to physicians and distributors in Europe, Mid-East, Asia and South America. Travel related expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 were $131,000 compared to $32,000 in the same period in 2008.  We continued to protect our patent rights around the world with legal and filing fees totaling $31,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $23,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Some of  the new expenses incurred by us during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 relate to being a public entity, including investor relations, insurance, accounting and legal costs,  which together were $242,000 versus $77,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. 
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased to $5,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $0 spent in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.2021. The increase in research and development expensenet cash used in operations was for a new product model.  We do not anticipate much spendingprimarily due to the increase in R&D in the next 6-12 months as we focus our resources on launching and training doctors on our current products.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred significant non-cash financing liability expenseMarch 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities of $8 thousand was primarily related to the convertible loans with detachable warrants that we issued to raise capital during the period.  We incurred $3,100,000 in non-cash expense primarily from the common stock market price appreciation compared to the conversion feature of $0.10 per share and warrant price per share of $0.20.  We had net interest expense of $24,600a loss on equity method for the nineJVs. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, as comparedMarch 31, 2022, cash used in investing activities of approximately $0.1 million was primarily related to $5,900a loss on equity method for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of having higher loans including the convertible loans in 2009 versus 2008.

Income Taxes
Our aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $3,400,000, which expire at various times through 2029, subjectJVs, payments to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is approximately $540,000.  We have provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon our earnings history, it is more likely than not that we will not realize the net operating loss benefits.
Year ended December 31, 2008acquire property, plant, and December 31, 2007

Net Sales and Revenues

Net sales and revenues for 2008 increased 100% to $38,000 compared to no revenues in 2007.  The increase was due to starting international shipments of small orders to our newly signed distributorsequipment, as well as direct shipments to physicians who wanted to use the INVOcell.

Cost of Sales and Revenues

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 27% for 2008   This is slightly higher than we expectinvestment in the future as we are producing small lot quantities and have higher shipping cost per unit as a result of the small volume shipments.  There were no sales or costs in 2007 to compare to.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,837,600 in 2008 as compared to $177,200 in 2007.  We experienced higher general and administrative costs in 2008 due to hiring our first employees and all the associated expenses that relate to them, including benefits, a stock compensation charge for common stock grants and travel, which costs totaled approximately $1,070,000.trademarks. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we also incurred considerable travel costs as our employees started to travel internationally to introduce the INVOcell and the INVO process to physicians and distributors in Europe, the Mid-East, Asia and South America. Such travel related expenses totaled $150,000 during 2008.  We continued to protect our patent rights throughout the world, resulting in legal and filing fees totaling $54,000 in 2008.  Also, in December 2008, we completed our share exchange and the accounting and legal costs in preparing for and completing that transaction was approximately $375,000.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased to $51,800 in 2008 from $33,400 in 2007.  The increase in research and development expense was a result of our efforts to continually understand the regulations and guidelines for selling the INVOcell in foreign countries.

Interest Income and Expense, Net

We had net interest expense of $11,900 in 2008 as compared to $3,600 in 2007 as a result of having our loans for all of 2008 versus only part of 2007.

Income Taxes

Our aggregate unused net operating losses as of the end of 2008 approximated $1,800,000 and expire at various times through 2028 and are subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.  The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is approximately $540,000.  We have provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon our earnings history, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our lack of financial resources continues to be our major challenge.  As of September 30, 2009, we had $194,400 in2022, cash and no cash equivalents.  Net cash used by operating activities was $673,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $375,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in net cash used was due to the significant costs of staffing, compliance and introducing our products into new markets.  In addition, all of the current employees have assisted INVO Bioscience in its funding requirements by deferring their salaries ($377,000, as of September 30, 2009) for the last seven months ending September 30, 2009.
No cash was used during the first nine months of 2009 in investing activities comparedof approximately $0.1 million was primarily related to $44,000investments in support of our INVO Center joint ventures. During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used byin investing activities of approximately $2.2 million was primarily related to payments to acquire equipment for and to investments for the same periodstart-up and initial operation of 2008.  The cash used during 2008 was forour INVO Center joint ventures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the purchase of patents to protect our proprietary products.  During 2009, we maintained our current patents across the globe and currently do not believe it is necessary to expand any of them at this time.  Also during 2008, we purchased manufacturing molds and a telephone system.

Netthree months ended March 31, 2023 cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3.3 million was $852,000 forprimarily related to the ninesale of Common Stock and convertible notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2009. Of that amount, $88,000 was provided by a short term 5% loan by Kathleen Karloff, our CEO.  In addition, on September 15, 2009, we completed a bridge offering of $545,000 principal amount of 10% convertible notes (the “Notes”).  Each Note bears interest, payable in shares of common stock, at a rate equal to 9-12% per annum from the date of issuance of the Note until paid in full on the Maturity Date (defined below). The initial investor’s Notes have a 12% interest rate. All outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Note is payable on the first to occur of (i) one year following the original issue date (as defined below), or (ii) a follow-on financing of at least $2,500,000 (the “Maturity Date”).  We can prepay the Notes at any time without penalty or premium. The Notes are secured by all of our assets and carry detachable common stock purchase warrants.  The Notes rank junior to our SBA $50,000 Century Bank Line of Credit Loan and rank senior in all respects to all other existing and future indebtedness. The Notes are convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. The investors have the option to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any time, together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereunder into shares of common stock at the conversion price.  In addition, as additional consideration for the investment in the Notes, we issued to the initial investor in the Notes a warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the quotient of the principal amount of the Note issued to such investor divided by the Conversion Price, as set forth in such Note, which Conversion Price equals $0.10 per share and the exercise price of the Warrants equals $0.20 per share.  The purchase agreement for the Notes also includes certain negative covenants of the company, including, without limitation, limitations on:  incurring additional indebtedness and liens, transactions with affiliates and payment of dividends.

Critical Accounting Policies and are dependent on securing additional equityEstimates

The discussion and debt financing to support our business efforts.  These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our existing cash resources, cash flow from operations and short-term borrowings on the existing credit line or from management will not provide adequate resources for supporting operations during fiscal 2009 and 2010.  We are actively seeking the funding we need to continue to execute our business plan.  We intend to achieve additional funding through additional salesanalysis of our securities, including in connection with the $10 million REF described elsewherefinancial condition presented in this prospectus.  Although there can be no assurance that an additional source of funding will materialize, we currently believe that we will be able to obtain the funding we need to continue to growsection is based upon our business.  However, if we do not raise additional capital in the near future we will have to further curtail our spending and downsize or cease our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation ofaudited consolidated financial statements, and related disclosureswhich have been prepared in conformityaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used inStates. During the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements, and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about mattersestimates and judgments that are highly uncertain ataffect the timereported amounts of the estimate;assets, liabilities, revenue and 2) different estimatesexpenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimatesevaluate, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. Thesecircumstances, 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 may change as new events occur, as additionalbased 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 is obtained and asabout our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minorresults and have been included infinancial condition.

See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based onNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 for a critical assessmentsummary of oursignificant accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

In preparing our financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include useful lives for fixed assets for depreciation calculations and assumptions for valuing options and warrants. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We are a development stage company, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprise” formerly (“SFAS”) No. 7.  The Company’s activities during our development stage to date has included developing the business plan, seeking regulatory clearance in the European Union and the United States, raising capital, conducting beta tests, sales and marketing of the INVOcell device and offering instructions in the INVO technique to doctors in numerous foreign countries.
Through September 30, 2009, we have generated minimal sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained losses.  Consequently, our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
We consider that the following are critical accounting policies:

Derivatives  In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5, included in ASC 815-40). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  We recently adopted EITF 07-5 and had a significant effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements — On January 1, 2008, we adopted FASB ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

·Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Management analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.
Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”-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 theimmediate 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 will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with SecuritiesASC 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 Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases,amount of revenue is recognized only whento recognize under the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,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

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the service is performed and collectabilityaccounts of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and formerly referred to as FAS 168). ASC 105, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
 GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB’s Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes will have a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”).  SFAS 167, which amends ASC 810-10, Consolidation  (“ASC 810-10”), prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entityentities (“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 eliminatesagents, the quantitative model prescribed by ASC 810-10.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company withbeneficiary has both: (i) the power to direct significantthe 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 and (2) obligates a companythat could potentially be significant to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. SFAS 167 requiresThe Company reconsiders whether an entity is still a companyVIE only upon certain triggering events and continually assesses its consolidated VIEs to reassess on an ongoing basis whetherdetermine if it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.  A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemedcontinues to be the primary beneficiarybeneficiary.

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 VIEprofits and losses from these investments is required to consolidatereported in loss from equity method investment in the VIE.  SFAS 167, which is referencedaccompanying 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 ASC 105-10-65, hascarrying values when necessary.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective or Adopted

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet beeneffective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, into the Codification and remains authoritative.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  We plan to adopt SFAS 167 effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected towould have a material impact on ourthe accompanying condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“SFAS 166”).  SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10,  Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860-10”), and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10.  This statement also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting.  SFAS 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  We plan to adopt SFAS 166 effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.    
BUSINESS
COMPANY BACKGROUND
INVO Bioscience was formed in January 2007 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under the name “Bio X Cell, Inc.,” which was the business successor to Medelle Corporation (“Medelle”).  Dr. Claude Ranoux was the founder and vice president of Medelle and Kathleen Karloff was a vice president of Medelle. Between 2001 and 2006, Medelle raised $8 million in venture capital, which was used to develop and validate a device called the “INVOcell.”  Medelle conducted pre-clinical safety testing and performed a human efficacy clinical study.  Due to a delay in obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance for the INVOcell, venture capital investments ceased and, by the end of 2006, Medelle ceased operations.  Medelle assigned all of its assets to a trustee who liquidated those assets and distributed the proceeds to creditors.  In that process, Dr. Ranoux purchased all of the assets of Medelle for $20,000 and contributed those assets to Bio X Cell, Inc. upon its formation in January 2007, including four patents related to the INVOcell technology.
On December 5, 2008, Bio X Cell, Inc., doing business as INVO Bioscience, and each of the shareholders of INVO Bioscience (the “INVO Bioscience Shareholders”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) and consummated a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with our predecessor Emy’s Salsa Aji Distribution Company, Inc. (“Emy’s”). Upon the closing of the Share Exchange on December 5, 2008 (the “Closing”), the INVO Bioscience Shareholders transferred all of their shares of common stock in INVO Bioscience to Emy’s.  In exchange, Emy’s issued to the INVO Bioscience Shareholders an aggregate of 38,307,500 shares of Emy’s common stock, representing 71.9% of the shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing.  As a result of the Share Exchange, INVO Bioscience became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emy’s.  After the Closing, the Company had 53, 245,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

At Closing, Emy’s officers and directors resigned from their positions.  Kathleen Karloff was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Director and Dr. Claude Ranoux was appointed as President, Treasurer and Director.
Immediately following the Closing, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with GRQ Consulting, LLC and Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors invested $375,000 in exchange for 375,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection. After the Closing, the Company had 53, 245,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

We are a development stage company that has recently begun to commercialize our proven and patented technology that we believe will revolutionize the treatment of infertility.  Our device, the INVOcell, and the INVO procedure are designed to provide an alternative infertility treatment for the patient and the clinician; it is less expensive and simpler to perform than current infertility treatments.  The simplicity of the INVO procedure relates to the ability to potentially perform the infertility procedure in a physician’s practice rather than in a specialized facility at a much lower cost overall than current infertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (“IVF”).  Therefore, we believe that the INVO procedure will be available in many more locations than conventional IVF especially outside the United States.  INVO also allows conception and embryo development to take place inside the woman's body; an attractive feature for most couples.

In May 2008, we received notice that the INVOcell product meets all the essential requirements of the relevant European Directive(s), and received CE Marking.  The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA).  The CE marking (an acronym for the French “Conformité Européenne”) certifies that a product has met EU health, safety and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.  With CE marking, we possess the regulatory authority to distribute its product in the European Economic Area, provided we comply with local registration requirements as discussed herein (i.e., the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most parts of the Middle East).  We have sold approximately 900 INVOcell units through September 30, 2009.
THE INVOCELL TECHNOLOGY
Our product, the INVOcell medical device, is designed to treat infertility at a far lower cost than other treatments available in today’s marketplace, including IVF.  The INVOcell technology is a fertility treatment where either mild ovarian stimulation or no ovarian stimulation is used.  Using a mild stimulation protocol, 1-10 follicles are retrieved in a physician’s office with the patient under light sedation with or without local anesthesia.  The follicle retrieval is performed using a vaginal probe under ultrasound guidance.  Eggs are identified immediately after retrieval in the follicular fluid.  During the INVO procedure, fertilization and embryo development occurs inside the woman’s vaginal cavity in a disposable single use device -- the INVOcell -- that holds the eggs, sperm and culture medium.
Sperm collection and preparation generally occur before egg retrieval.  Nutrient medium (~1ml) is placed in the inner vessel of the INVOcell.  Eggs and a fraction of motile sperm are placed into the medium and the inner vessel is closed and secured in the protective outer vessel.  The INVOcell is placed in the patient’s vaginal cavity for an incubation period of 2-3 days.  A retention system can be used to maintain the INVOcell system in the vagina during the incubation period.  The retention system consists of a diaphragm with holes in the membrane to allow natural elimination of vaginal secretions.  The INVOcell is designed so that no vaginal fluids penetrate the outer vessel thus ensuring that the inner vessel is not contaminated.  Obtaining eggs, sperm and media then inserting them into the INVOcell and then placing it in the vagina takes approximately 90 minutes.
After 2-3 days, the patient returns to the physician’s office where the retention system and the INVOcell are removed.  The protective outer vessel is discarded and the inner vessel is placed in INVO Bioscience’s patented holding block in a vertical position for 15 minutes.  Embryos are collected in the micro chamber located at the bottom of the inner vessel.  The embryos can be directly viewed in the micro chamber in the holding block by using a microscope.  Embryos can be loaded directly from the device in a transfer catheter from the INVOcell device.  A trained clinician can readily identify the best embryos for transfer.  The embryos to be transferred are aspirated into a standard catheter for transfer into the patient’s uterus.  This second visit should take approximately 45 minutes.  All INVO related medical procedures can be performed in a physician’s office thereby avoiding the requirement of an IVF facility and the associated costs to build and maintain such a facility.
SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
INVO Bioscience operates by outsourcing many key operational functions in the development and manufacturing of the INVOcell device to keep fixed costs to a minimum.  Our most critical management and leadership functions are carried out by our core team.  We have contracted out the following functions: manufacturing, packaging/labeling and sterilization of the device to a certified manufacturer to mold the parts; to a medical manufacturing company to assemble packages and label the product and to a sterilization specialist to perform the gamma sterilization process.  This expedites production and eliminates the need for in-house capital equipment expenditures.
To date, we have completed a series of important steps in the development and manufacturing of the INVOcell:

·  
Clinical Trials:  Safety and efficacy of the INVOcell device has been demonstrated and accepted by both the CE Mark governing body and the FDA.
·  
Support of Practitioners:  Clinicians and laboratory directors having used the INVO method are enthusiastic about the fact that it is a patient-friendly procedure, easy to perform, simple and efficacious.
·  
Initiate FDA Clearance: In parallel to the sale of products outside of the United States in Europe, Canada, Mid-East  and South America, INVO Bioscience intends to complete, subject to receipt of additional funding, all clinical and non-clinical studies by 2010 and thereafter intends to finalize its FDA 510 (k) filing and hopefully receive FDA clearance in early 2011.
·  
Marketing Trials/Studies: Currently clinical studies are underway in South America, the Mid-East and soon to commence in India by doctors currently using the INVOcell to have “local” data on patient efficacy and experience for marketing collateral and advertising.
CURRENT MARKET OPPORTUNITY
According to the European Society for Human Reproduction (“ESHRE”) in 2007, there are more than 100 million infertile couples in the world.  While there have been large increases in the use of IVF, only about one million IVF cycles were performed in 2006, which amounts to a treatment of less than 1% of the infertile couples worldwide.  Knowing that an average of 2-3 cycles of IVF is performed per infertile couple, there are only 300,000-500,000 couples treated by IVF.  A survey by “Resolve: The National Infertility Association,” the number one reason couples do not use IVF is cost and geographical availability.  We can provide a locally available treatment option at less than half the cost of IVF that will help millions of infertile couples throughout the world where IVF is not currently available.
IVF is an effective treatment option for many infertile couples.  Our patented and proven INVO technology is a low cost, unique fertility treatment option that is much simpler to perform than IVF.  The procedure can be provided without an IVF center and therefore can be available in many more locations than IVF.  We believe we are well positioned to capture a significant share of the unmet market needs.  With the INVOcell device and technique, fertilization and early embryo development is done within the vaginal cavity rather than an incubator.  Oocytes and sperm are fertilized and developed into embryos within the INVO device while contained by the woman’s vaginal cavity.
Currently, according to European Society for Human Reproduction (ESHRE, 2007) the 1% of infertile couples who receive infertility treatment, including IVF, intra uterine insemination (“IUI”) and other fertility treatment, represents a $6 billion worldwide market.  This leaves 99% of the infertile couples untreated with an estimated unmet market opportunity of $594 billion, a portion of which, we believe will be met by the INVO device.  Much of the unmet market is located in developing countries where many patients cannot afford, and have limited access to, IVF.  We believe that developing countries offer a large and ready market for the INVOcell.
In May 2008, we received notice that the INVOcell device meets all of the essential requirements of the relevant European Directive, and received CE marking.  The CE marking (also known as a CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single medical device market in the European Economic Area ( i.e., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most parts of the Middle East) (“EEA”).  The CE marking (an acronym for the French "Conformité Européenne") certifies that a product has met European health, safety and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.   Manufacturers in Europe and abroad must meet CE marking requirements where applicable in order to market their products in Europe.  With CE marking, we now have the necessary regulatory authority to distribute our INVOcell device in the EEA, subject to local registration regulations.  
Currently, we are continuing to establish agreements with distributors and train physicians in the areas outside of the US they include Canada, South America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.  While we penetrate the infertility markets in Europe and Canada along with the certain developing countries, we anticipate also pursuing the completion of the FDA ’ s “510(k)” process.  We have completed the first step for medical device companies who manufacture Class 2 devices (and a small number of Class 1 and 3 devices), the filing of a Premarket Notification with the FDA (i.e., an FDA 510(k) submission).  Technically, the FDA does not "approve" Class 1 and 2 medical devices for sale in the U.S. they give "clearance" for them to be sold.  We believe we are presently halfway completed with our clinical trial and anticipate its completion by the end of 2010, subject to funding through the AGS REF or other sources.  However, there can be no assurance that our trial will be successful and that we will receive FDA clearance thereafter.
COMPETITION
The infertility industry is highly competitive and characterized by technological improvements.  New artificial reproductive technology (“ART”) services, devices and techniques may be developed that may render the INVOcell obsolete.  Competition in the areas of infertility and ART services is largely based on pregnancy rates and other patient outcomes.  Accordingly, the ability of our business to compete is largely dependent on our ability to achieve adequate pregnancy rates and patient satisfaction levels.  The INVO procedure will offer an alternative treatment to couples who currently do not have access to treatments because of cost or location.  Infertility clinics can expand their businesses by offering INVO in satellite centers that can be opened at a substantially lower cost than an IVF center.  We are not aware of any direct competitors to INVO Bioscience or the INVO process using the INVOcell device.  However, there are existing infertility treatment regimes that the INVOcell will compete with when the infertile couple, in conjunction with their physician, is choosing the treatment method for their infertility.  We believe that the menu of currently available clinical infertility treatment methods generally is limited to IUI and IVF.
Competing Treatments
Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI):  In IUI treatments, ovarian stimulation protocols with induction of ovulation are frequently used to recruit several follicles and improve clinical pregnancy rates.  When monitoring ovulation indicates that the female patient is ready to ovulate, the male patient will produce a sperm sample in the fertility doctor’s office.  The sperm is then prepared and delivered to the uterus through a catheter.  IUI can only treat approximately 40% of the causes of infertility.  For example, IUI does not address infertility causes such as tubal disease and other conditions that are treatable by IVF and the INVOcell device and process.  In addition, IUI does not produce the diagnostic information such as fertilization that an IVF or INVO cycle produces.  Approximately 600,000 IUI cycles are performed annually by a subset of 5,000 of the 40,000 fertility doctors in the U.S. as well as by IVF providers.  In Europe, at least 550,000 IUI cycles are performed annually.  The cost of a single IUI treatment can range from $500 to $4,000 per cycle in the U.S. and $500 to $2,000 in Europe.  The intra-country differences in cost depend on the stimulation protocol and the accuracy of the ovulation monitoring used by physician.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):  IVF addresses tubal factor, ovulatory dysfunction, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis, uterine factor, male factor, unexplained infertility and other causes.  IVF bypasses the function of the fallopian tube by achieving fertilization within a laboratory environment.  Ovarian hyper-stimulation is common with IVF treatments to recruit numerous follicles and increase the chances for success.  Follicles are retrieved trans-vaginally using a vaginal probe and ultrasound guidance.  General anesthesia is frequently used due to the number of follicles retrieved and the resulting discomfort experienced by the patient.  The eggs are identified in the follicular fluid and combined with sperm and culture medium in culture dishes, which are placed in an incubator with a temperature and gas environment designed to mimic the condition of the fallopian tubes.  Once the embryos develop, they are transferred to the uterine cavity.  The transfer of several embryos allows an average success rate for IVF of 27%, but it is also responsible for a high multiple birth rate of approximately 40% of IVF pregnancies.  Multiple births bring risks to mother and babies and significant expenses for third party payers.  In addition, due to the high number of embryos produced in IVF, cryo-preservation of excess embryos occurs in more than 30% of the cycles.  In the U.S., there are approximately 1,000 reproductive endocrinologists who collectively perform more than 125,000 IVF cycles per year at 430 specialized facilities.  In Europe, nearly 300,000 IVF cycles are reportedly performed at more than 1,000 facilities.
The cost to the patient for a single IVF cycle (including drugs) averages $12,400 in the U.S. and can go as high as $20,000 depending on the IVF center.  The cost of drugs for an IVF cycle ranges from $2,500 to $3,500.  The average cost per live birth using IVF can exceed $50,000 since the successful patient generally requires more than one cycle.  Many patients who would be good candidates for IVF are unable to access it because of the high cost and lack of insurance reimbursement.  Additional obstacles to IVF often include significant distances to IVF clinics; travel costs; and time off from work.  In addition, some couples experience concerns regarding IVF such as the possibility of laboratory errors resulting in receiving another person’s embryo.
Competitors
We operate in a highly competitive industry, which is subject to competitive pricing and rapid technological change.  The market for fertility treatment and devices are highly competitive in terms of pricing, functionality and service quality, the timing of development and introduction of new products and services and terms of financing.  We face competition from all ART practitioners and device manufacturers.  Our competitors may implement new technologies before we do, allowing them to offer more attractively priced or enhanced products, services or solutions than we provide.  Most of our competitors may have greater resources in certain business segments or geographic markets than we do.  We may also encounter increased competition from new market entrants or alternative ART technologies.  Our operating results significantly depend on our ability to compete in this market environment, in particular on our ability to adapt to economic or regulatory changes, to introduce new products to the market and to enhance the functionality while reducing the cost of new and existing products.
Our principal ART medical-device competitor is Anecova, a Swiss start-up life sciences company with an intrauterine device under development for infertility treatment.  This device is a very small silicone tube with 360 micro perforations.  Oocytes are fertilized outside the device and then placed in the tube, which is placed inside the woman’s uterus for early embryo development.  After 1-5 days, the device is removed and the best embryo(s) are transferred back into the woman’s uterus.  We believe that the device is much more difficult to use than the INVOcell due to its size and the requirement to place the device in the uterus, a sterile environment.  The precision manufacturing of the Anecova device will drive its cost close to $1,500, which is higher than our price.  If the Anecova device is shown to be effective, it is likely that the device would only be available in hospitals and IVF Centers at a significantly higher cost than the INVOcell.  This procedure still needs the complex equipment of an IVF center.
Competitive Advantages
We believe that the INVOcell has the following competitive advantages:
Lower cost than IVF with similar efficacy:  The INVOcell is substantially less expensive than IVF due to the shorter time to execute the procedure, lower costs of supplies, labor, capital equipment and overhead.  An IVF center requires at least $500,000 of laboratory capital equipment and highly trained personnel.  In contrast, the cost of laboratory capital equipment to set-up an INVOcell procedure is approximately $30,000 and does not require highly trained specialists beyond the traditional obstetrician and gynecological practice.  The global success rate for IVF varies dramatically from 13.6% to 40.5% with an average of 27% per cycle (ESHRE, ICMART Committee, June 21, 2006).  We foresee INVO will be offered at approximately $5,000 per cycle with a pregnancy rate comparable to traditional IVF (20% versus 27%, INVO to IVF, respectively).  In Europe, IUI currently averages $1,000 per cycle and IVF averages $5,000.  INVO in Europe will be offered at approximately $2,500 per cycle.  In Europe, the average cost per pregnancy for IVF is $21,354.
Similar cost than IUI with greater efficacy: In the U.S. currently, IUI averages $1,500 per cycle with <10% pregnancy rate while IVF averages $12,400 per cycle with an average of 27% pregnancy rate.  With INVO, we believe that the Ob/Gyn or reproductive endocrinologist practitioners will benefit by providing a superior product than IUI with good financial margins, efficacy rates more than double IUI while treating the full range of infertility indications.  In Europe, the average cost per pregnancy using IUI is $12,000.  The average cost per pregnancy for IVF is $21,354 while for INVO it is only $13,888: a savings of more than $7,000 per pregnancy.  Using INVO could reduce annual infertility costs in Europe by more than $650 million.
Greater geographic availability:   In Europe, there are more than 1,000 IVF centers, and there are approximately 430 IVF centers in the U.S.  In addition, by having INVO geographically available in Ob/Gyn offices, couples will not have the travel costs and absence from work associated with IVF treatments.  The medical staff at these centers could easily learn INVO and offer it as a lower cost treatment option for their patients through satellite centers.  There are also 5,000 Ob/Gyn physicians in the U.S. who offer infertility services (IUI).  Since INVO does not require a specialized lab facility, large costly equipment or highly specialized staff, it may possible be offered in a doctors’ office setting.  Therefore, in the U.S. alone, INVO could be 10 times more available than conventional IVF.  This also allows Ob/Gyn offices worldwide to offer INVO as an alternative or follow up treatment to IUI and generate a significant new revenue stream.
Greater patient involvement: With INVO, the patient uses her own body as the incubation environment.  This creates a greater sense of involvement, comfort and participation for patients who know that the fertilization is happening within their own bodies.  In some cases, this frees the couples from ethical or religious concerns, or fears of laboratory mix-ups that could result in a patient receiving another couple’s embryo(s).
SALES AND MARKETING
Product Pricing
We anticipate employing the following pricing system for the INVOcell technology.  These prices were determined through discussions with our advisory board of physicians and potential strategic partners and reflect the innovative features of the device, the savings in physician’s laboratory fixed costs and the amount that a physician will receive from patients to perform INVO. Our goal is to have the INVO procedure be a lower cost alternative, with comparable success rates.
INVOcell device:    We expect to sell the INVOcell device and its retention system for between $75 and $400 per unit.  IVF centers or Ob/Gyn groups purchasing a large number of devices and promoting the INVO process will receive discounted prices and a limited amount of free advertising of their facility on our website.  It is expected that the INVOcell will sell for $400 in the U.S., which grants a single-use license under our patents. In Central and South America and Europe, the price of the device will be reduced to between $100-$300 to reflect a generally lower cost of infertility procedures in most of these countries and to make INVOcell available to populations with lower incomes.
Holding/Warming Blocks:  The holding blocks will be sold as a tool for viewing and retrieving the embryos from the inner chamber.  Each physician will need a minimum of two blocks depending on the number of cycles he/she performs.  The blocks cost $100 per block and will sell for $200 and will constitute an additional revenue stream.
Fixed Laboratory Equipment: The equipment used in the INVO procedure (microscope with video system, bench centrifuge, incubator without CO2, bench warmer and laminar flow hood) is readily available in the market.  We have had initial discussions with an equipment supplier that has a mobile bench and hood with all the required equipment.  We intend to establish an agreement with this company to provide our customers with a discount and financing to facilitate new customer entry into the INVO market in the future, however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this effort.  The complete set up for the INVO procedure is approximately $33,000 in Europe and $50,000 in the U.S.
Our Sales Team
As of the date of this prospectus, we employ two sales and marketing individuals who are charged with all of our sales efforts.  We anticipate growing our sales team to eight in 2010, subject to raising additional capital.  Our sales efforts follow two approaches:
Direct Physician Sales through Distributors -- In many countries, we intend to establish local distributors to access the countries’ markets.  With the distributor-to-physician model, the distributors will be selling to IVF centers, medical practices and physicians directly.  We will support the distributor’s efforts with training, both to the distributor’s trainers as well as to the physicians directly.  We current maintain distribution agreements in the following countries: Canada, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, Argentina, Peru, Pakistan, Turkey and Taiwan. Additionally we are in discussions with potential distributors for Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Egypt, India, and South Africa
Direct Sales to Physicians -- We are also following a parallel path directly to leading infertility doctors in regions where there is demand but either distributors do not exist such as in Western Africa or we have not yet signed distribution agreements.  
Target Markets
Currently and through 2010, we anticipate that we will launch the sale of the INVOcell device in Europe, Canada, South America and the Middle East.  During 2011, or at such time that we receive FDA approval, we anticipate launching the INVOcell in the U.S.  In 2010, we also anticipate the launch of the INVOcell device in India and Russia.  In 2011, we anticipate the launch of the INVOcell device in China and other countries where an alternative treatment is needed.  With the cost of the INVO procedure being less than half the cost of IVF, we expect to penetrate 5% of the currently untreated infertility market, although no assurances can be made in this regard.
Worldwide -- According to the European Society for Human Reproduction (ESHRE, 2007) there are more than 100 million infertile couples in the world.  About one million IVF cycles were performed in 2006, which is less than 1% of the infertile couples worldwide.  More than 99 million infertile couples remain untreated due to cost, availability, awareness and other factors.
U.S. -- According to the Centers for Disease Control, 7.3 million people in the U.S. have difficulty conceiving.  With only 350,000 couples receiving fertility treatment, more than six million couples receive no treatment.  According to Integramed, Inc., a U.S. based network of fertility centers, 97% of the untreated infertile couples do not receive treatment due to cost.  Working with our advisory board, we estimate that an INVO procedure in the U.S. will cost approximately $5,000 dollars.  
Europe -- Europe has approximately 10 million infertile couples, of which 137,000 are estimated to have received IVF treatment and 183,000 received IUI (ESHRE) leaving 9.5 million infertile couples untreated.
Preliminary Sales Strategy
We have received the CE Mark that allows us to sell product in Europe, Canada and other countries in South America, the Middle East, and Africa along with Russia, and India subject to local registration requirements.  Our strategy is to launch the product in the developing world first because of the high demand and relatively low availability of IVF procedures. 
Launching INVO in the U.S. market requires 510(k) clearance, which we anticipate receiving in early 2011 upon completion of our clinical trials estimated for 2010 based on adequate funding from the REF.  We have completed the required human confirmatory study.  The births of normal babies have been confirmed in this study using the INVOcell.  It will take nine months and approximately $1,000,000 of funding to complete the data collection on all required subjects, analyze the data, have an independent audit and submit the full 510(k) to the FDA.  The FDA has 90 days to review the submission from INVO Bioscience.  All preclinical data and testing has been completed and reviewed by FDA.  We expect to receive approval to sell the INVOcell without further studies at that time.  However, there is no assurance that will be the case.  We intend to launch INVOcell through key IVF centers in the U.S. once FDA clearance is achieved.  Our U.S. based board of advisors and participants in our clinical trials have indicated a desire to be among the first to offer the INVOcell to their patients.  The success of these IVF centers with the INVOcell will assist in expanding our share of the market in the U.S.  We will also target the 5,000 Ob/Gyn doctors with experience in infertility treatment.
Insurance Reimbursement for Infertility Treatment
Most European countries have some level of coverage for infertility treatment, but the level of coverage varies from country to country and even within countries.  For example, the National Health Service in the UK covers 20% of most costs for infertility treatment.  However, that standard is not applied universally throughout the country and some counties provide almost none.  In the U.S., fifteen states mandate some form of insurance reimbursement for infertility treatment.  Three states mandate reimbursement for IVF, while other states cover some form of infertility treatment, but they may also specifically exclude IVF due to cost.  In addition, fifteen other states are considering mandating some form of coverage for infertility treatment.  Finally, there are bills under consideration in the U.S. Congress for a federal mandate to provide insurance coverage for infertility treatments universally across the nation.
We believe that the INVOcell process will be treated favorably by insurance companies because it lowers cost and has a high efficacy rate.  In Europe, the average cost per pregnancy using IUI is $12,000 and IUI is appropriate for only 40% of the infertile population.  However, for INVO, which is marginally more expensive at $13,888 per pregnancy, is a more effective treatment for a majority of infertile couples.  The average cost per pregnancy for IVF is $21,354.  Therefore, there is a savings of more than $7,000 (over 33%) per pregnancy by using INVO versus IVF.  Using INVO could reduce infertility costs in Europe by more than $650 million.
Currently, many third-party payers require that an infertile patient have at least three cycles of IUI before going on to IVF.  The aggregate success rate of three IUI’s is 25%.  Therefore, up to 75% of those patients are often referred to IVF.  In the future, third-party insurance payers could save more than $7,000 per pregnancy by requiring the patient to try INVOcell first.
Branding and Promotion
We have a new logo refined for the infertility market.  We have trademarked the logo, device and technology.  At the same time, we are developing a website that includes special pages for clinicians and patients.  Subject to available capital, the next generation website will include materials that medical professionals and patients can print, including status reports and news items.  It will include a training videos for potential customers both physician and patients who want to learn exactly how the INVOcell works.
REGULATION
Domestic Regulations
The manufacture and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities, principally by the FDA in the U.S. and corresponding foreign agencies.  The FDA administers the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated there under.  We are subject to the standards and procedures with respect to the manufacture of medical devices and are subject to inspection by the FDA for compliance with such standards and procedures.  The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.  The INVOcell device and process must secure a 510(k) pre-market notification clearance before it can be introduced into the United States market.  The process of obtaining 510(k) clearance typically takes several months and may involve the submission of limited clinical data supporting assertions that the product is substantially equivalent to an already approved device or to a device that was on the market before the enactment of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976.
Every company that manufactures or assembles medical devices is required to register with the FDA and adhere to certain “good manufacturing practices” in accordance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, which regulates the manufacture of medical devices, prescribes record-keeping procedures and provides for the routine inspection of facilities for compliance with such regulations.  The FDA also has broad regulatory powers in the areas of clinical testing, marketing and advertising of medical devices.
Medical device manufacturers are routinely subject to periodic inspections by the FDA.  If the FDA believes that a company may not be operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, it can:
·  place the company under observation and re-inspect the facilities;
·  issue a warning letter apprising of violating conduct;
·  detain or seize products;
·  mandate a recall;
·  enjoin future violations; and
·  assess civil and criminal penalties against the company, its officers or its employees.
At present, we believe are more than halfway completed with the clinical trials requested by the FDA through our predecessor company.  Subject to available capital, we anticipate completing those clinical trials by the end of 2010.  Thus, we believe that we will receive FDA clearance by 2011, though there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so on a timely basis, if at all.
International Regulations
We are also subject to regulation in each of the foreign countries where our products are sold.  Many of the regulations applicable to our products in such countries are similar to those of the FDA.  The national health or social security organizations of certain countries require that our products be qualified before they can be marketed in those countries.  Many of the countries we are targeting do not have a formal approval process of their own but rely on either FDA clearance or the European approval, CE Mark, they follow that up with a registration process of listing the INVOcell with the governing body.
Our activities during our development stage have included developing the business plan, seeking regulatory clearance in Europe and the United States and raising capital.  In May 2008, we received notice that the INVOcell product met all the essential requirements of the relevant European Directive(s), and received CE marking.  The CE mark is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA).  The CE mark (an acronym for the French "Conformité Européenne") certifies that a product has met EU health, safety and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.
With CE marking, we now have the ability and necessary regulatory authority to distribute our product after registration in the European Economic Area (i.e., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, along with most parts of the Middle East and South America). Every country is different we have completed registrations in some, are in process with others, upon funding from the REF we will be submitting additional registrations and for a few others we have to wait until we have FDA clearance. We are registering the product based on the size of the market and our ability to service it given our resources.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
More than 800 cases of an INVO procedure have been documented in peer-reviewed journals since the 1980s, using an incubation device not specifically designed for the process but functionally capable of demonstrating success rates equivalent to IVF at that time.  The INVOcell device was specially developed and manufactured to optimize the ease of use and effectiveness of the procedure at an affordable price.  This product development process has resulted in five active patents worldwide covering both the INVOcell device and the INVO process.  
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not involved in any lawsuit outside the ordinary course of business, the disposition of which would have a material effect upon either our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
PROPERTY
We currently do not own any property.  Our principal executive office is located at 100 Cummings Center, Suite 421E, Beverly, Massachusetts 01915, pursuant to a lease entered into by INVO Bioscience in January 2007 for 3,294 square feet of general office space.  The lessor is Cummings Properties, LLC and the lease commenced in January 2007 and concludes on December 31, 2010.  The lease is subject to a cost of living increase equal to the Boston, Massachusetts Consumer Price Index at the beginning of each calendar year.  
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2009, we have 5 full-time employees.  We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Board of Directors
Currently, we only have two board members, Claude Ranoux and Kathleen Karloff, who are also our CEO and President.  We expect to add three independent members to expand our Board of Directors to five in 2010, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not currently have an Audit Committee,Summary Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the Board of Directors. The responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by our Board of Directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities. In addition, we do not currently have an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in the Securities Act, as our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified outside Board members. We hope to add qualified independent members of our Board of Directors in 2010, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
We do not have a Compensation Committee or any other committee of the Board of Directors performing similar functions during the years ended September 30, 2009. Kathleen Karloff, our Chief Executive Officer, Claude Ranoux, President and Robert Bowdring CFO make decisions relating to compensation.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees including our officers, our principal executive officer, our president and principal financial & accounting officer.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation before the Share Exchange

Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, the named executive officers received stock awards as their compensation from February 2007 until June 2008.  In July 2008 through the year end of December 31, 2008, which included the closing of the Share Exchange, our officers drew an annualized salary of $175,000 each.  The named executive officers’ salaries did not change as a result of the Share Exchange. The Board of Directors, who are also named executive officers, determined the compensation for themselves and the other executive officers and employees of INVO Bioscience. The members of the Board of Directors do not receive separate compensation for serving as directors, although it is anticipated that any non-employee directors who may be appointed to the Board will be compensated in a manner to be determined by the Board at such time as new directors are appointed.

Compensation after the Share Exchange

From January 1, 2009 to present the named executive officers compensation consisted solely of each executive officer’s salary; no cash bonuses were paid or accrued.  On January 2, 2009, Mr. Robert J. Bowdring was promoted to the position of Chief Financial Officer by the Board of Directors, thus making him a named executive as of that date.  From March 1, 2009 until present, the named executive officers’ salaries have been accrued, but not paid, to financially assist the Company during this period.  The Board of Directors of INVO Bioscience believes that the salaries paid and accrued to our executive officers during 2008 and 2009 are indicative of the objectives of its compensation program as this stage of our development.
Salary is designed to attract, as needed, individuals with the skills necessary for us to achieve our business plan, to motivate those individuals, to reward those individuals fairly over time, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above the levels that we expect.  When setting and adjusting individual executive salary levels, we consider the relevant established salary range, the named executive officer’s responsibilities, experience, potential, individual performance and contribution.  We also consider other factors such as our overall corporate budget for annual merit increases, unique skills, demand in the labor market and succession planning.  We determine the levels of salary as measured primarily by the local market in Boston/New England, which determinations are made based on anecdotal evidence rather than compensation studies or surveys.  

Corporate performance goals include sales, margin and net profit targets.  Additional key areas of corporate performance taken into account in setting compensation policies and decisions are new business development, cost control, and innovation.  The key factors may vary depending on which area of business a particular executive officer’s work is focused.  Individual performance goals include subjective evaluation, based on an employee’s team-work, creativity and management capability, and objective goals such as sales targets.  We have not paid bonuses to our executive officers in the past.  If we are successful in raising capital and building our business, we intend to establish a bonus program for all of our employees including our named executive officers.  Although no such program has been designed, the program is expected to be based on both corporate and individual performance goals.    
Our intention is to establish a compensation committee comprised of both non-employee and employee directors, once we expand the Board.  The compensation committee will perform, at least annually, a strategic review of the compensation program for our executive officers to determine whether it provides adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and whether it adequately compensates our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives.  Those companies may or may not be public companies or companies located in the Boston area or even, in all cases, companies in a similar business.   We would like to establish a compensation program for executive officers that is designed to attract, as needed, individuals with the skills necessary for us to achieve our business plan, to motivate those individuals, to reward those individuals fairly over time, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above the levels that we expect.  

We also intend to expand the scope of our compensation, such as the possibility of granting options or other stock-based awards to executive officers and tying compensation to predetermined performance goals.  We intend to adopt an equity incentive plan in the near future and issue stock-based awards under the plan to aid our long-term performance, which we believe will create an ownership culture among our named executive officers that fosters beneficial, long-term performance by our company.  We do not currently have a general equity grant policy with respect to the size and terms of grants that we intend to make in the future, but we will evaluate our achievements for each fiscal year based on performance factors and results of operations such as revenues generated, cost of revenues, and net income. No such goals have been determined for this fiscal year.

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth, for the years indicated, all cash compensation paid, distributed or accrued for services, including salary and bonus amounts, rendered in all capacities by the Company’s chief“named executive officer,  president and chief financial officer who received or was entitled to receive remuneration in excess of $100,000 during the stated periods.  As reflected below, none of our officers received cash compensation during fiscal 2007.

Employment Agreements

Steven Shum

On October 16, 2019, the options and agreed to issue an additional 300,000 to two employees hired during 2009 bringing the total options to 670,000 as of this date.  We have not yet adopted a formal stock option plan and, consequently, the options to purchase 670,000 shares of common stock are deemed not yet issued. 

Long-Term Incentive Compensation:  We are looking to establish a program that will provide long-term incentive compensation through awards of stock options, restricted stock, and/or stock awards.  Our equity compensation program is intended to align the interests of the officers with those of our shareholders by creating an incentive for our officers to maximize shareholder value.  The equity compensation program will be designed to encourage officers to remain employed with us despite a competitive labor market, and the fact that we are a development stage company and have a limited operating history and limited revenue to date, and may not necessarily be able to sustain a market rate base salary.  Stock options, stock grants, warrants and other incentives are based on combination of factors including the need and urgency for such an executive, the experience level of the executive and the balance of such incentives with a lower than market base salary or fees that is paid in cash. Employees and consultants are granted such incentives from time to time to maintain their continuing services, sometimes without increases in salaries or fees.
Deferred Compensation Benefits:  We do not have a deferred compensation program at this time.
Retirement Benefits:  We do not have a 401(k) plan or other retirement program at this time.
Executive Perquisites and Generally Available Benefits:  We have no executive perquisite program at this time.

Director Compensation Program

Our current director compensation program is designed to align our director compensation program with the long-term interests of our stockholders by implementing a program comprised of cash and equity compensation.

In setting director compensation, we consider the amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level and experience required by our board of directors. We also consider board compensation practices at similarly situated companies, while keeping in mind the compensation philosophy of us and the stockholders’ interests. The directors also receive reimbursement for expenses, including reasonable travel expenses to attend board and committee meetings, reasonable outside seminar expenses, and other special board related expenses.

The Board, in its absolute discretion, may award common stock to employees of, consultants to, and directors of the company, and such other persons as the Board or compensation committee may select, and permit holders of common stock options to exercise such options prior to full vesting therein and hold the common stock issued upon exercise of the option as common stock. Stock options may also be granted by our Board or compensation committee to non-employee directors of the company or other persons who are performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special importance to the management, operation or development of the company.

In the event that our outstanding common stock is changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the company by reason of merger, consolidation, other reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to stock options which may be granted under the plan.

Warrants Offered in this Offering

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the warrants to purchase common stock that are being offered hereby (not including the Placement Agent Warrants, as described in the section of this prospectus titled “Plan of Distribution”) is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the warrants. The warrants will be issued in certificated form.

Duration and Exercise Price

The warrants are exercisable from and after the date of their issuance and expire on the anniversary of such date, at an exercise price per share of common stock equal to 100% of the combined public offering price per share of common stock and accompanying warrant in this offering. The holder of a warrant will not be deemed a holder of our underlying common stock until the warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of warrant. Instead, for any such fractional share that would have otherwise been issued upon exercise of a warrant, we will round such fraction down to the next whole share.

Exercisability

The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants and Delaware law. Purchasers of warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of warrant. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Trading Market

There is no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

-42-

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, including any voting rights, until they exercise their warrants.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A)              Description of Business
INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“the Company”) offers novel solutions in assisted reproductive technologies while expanding geographic and affordable access to the global reproductive health care community.  Our primary focus is the manufacture and sale of the INVOcell device and the INVO technology to assist infertile couples in having a baby.    We designed our INVOcell device and our INVO procedure to provide an alternative infertility treatment for the patient and the clinician.  The INVO procedure is less expensive and simpler to perform than most comparable infertility treatments currently.  The simplicity of the INVO procedure relates to the ability to potentially perform the INVO procedure in a physician’s practice rather than in a specialized facility at a much lower cost overall than current infertility treatments.  
We believe that the INVO procedure will make infertility treatment more readily available throughout the world.  The INVO procedure is significantly less costly than conventional IVF.  The INVOcell device and INVO procedure facilitates conception and embryo development inside the woman's body, rather than in a dish in a laboratory, which is an attractive feature for most couples.
We are a development stage company, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprise” formerly (“SFAS”) No. 7.  The Company’s activities during our development stage to date has included developing the business plan, seeking regulatory clearance in the European Union and the United States, raising capital, conducting beta tests, sales and marketing of the INVOcell device and offering instructions in the INVO technique to doctors in numerous foreign countries.
Through September 30, 2009, we have generated minimal sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained losses.  Consequently, our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
In May 2008, the Company received notice that the INVOcell product meets all the essential requirements of the relevant European Directive(s), and received CE Marking.  The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA).  The CE marking (an acronym for the French “Conformité Européenne”) certifies that a product has met EU health, safety and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.  With CE marking, the Company possesses the regulatory authority to distribute its product in the European Economic Area, provided we comply with local registration requirements as discussed herein (i.e., the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most parts of the Middle East).  The Company has sold approximately 900 INVOcell units through September 30, 2009.
(B)              Basis of Presentation
On December 5, 2008, the Company completed a share exchange with Emy’s Salsa Aji Distribution Company, Inc. (“Emy’s”), a publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations.  Emy’s was incorporated on July 11, 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Certiorari Corp.  In connection with the share exchange, INVO Bioscience became Emy’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the INVO Bioscience Shareholders acquired control of Emy’s.  
The Company accounted for the transaction as a recapitalization and the Company is the surviving entity.  In connection with the share exchange, Emy’s shareholders retained 14,937,500 shares.  Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding shares of common stock owned by the Company's shareholders were exchanged for an aggregate of 38,307,500 shares of Emy’s common stock.  Effective with the Agreement, Emy’s changed its name to INVO Bioscience, Inc.
All references to “common stock,” “share” and “per share” amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 357.0197 sharesstatements of INVO Bioscience, common stock for one share of Emy’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the merger with Emys.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(C)              Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2008 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on April 15, 2009.  The condensed consolidated balance sheetInc. as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited financial statements2022 and 2021 and for the year then ended.
In the opinioneach of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows have been includedtwo years in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the yearperiod ended December 31, 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements2022, incorporated into this prospectus and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, property, and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, and income taxes, among others.  We base our estimatesRegistration Statement on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the resultsForm S-1 of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  As of September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had $194,400 and $15,700 in cash equivalents, respectively.
(D)             Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as comparedit forms a part by reference to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, that are of significance, or potential significance2022, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company.
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105” and formerly referred to as FAS 168). ASC 105, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB’s Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes will have a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
 In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5, included in ASC 815-40). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-5 had a significant effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements (see Note 10).

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”).  SFAS 167, which amends ASC 810-10,  Consolidation  (“ASC 810-10”), prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model prescribed by ASC 810-10.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE.  SFAS 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.  A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE.  SFAS 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS 167 effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“SFAS 166”).  SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10,  Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860-10”), and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10.  This statement also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting.  SFAS 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS 166 effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.    
NOTE 2.  GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and commenced operations December 2008.  The Company had a net operating loss for the quarter of $294,000  and a net loss of $3,409,000 and has a cumulative net operating loss of $3,446,000 and a net loss of $6,586,000, a working capital deficiency of $4,677,000, a stockholder deficiency of $4,577,000 and cash used in operations of $673,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.concern as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) of M&K CPAs, PLLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The combined financial statements of Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C. and Fertility Labs of Wisconsin, LLC as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 incorporated into this prospectus and the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which it forms a part by reference to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 21, 2023, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of M&K CPAs, PLCC, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting .

NOTE 7.  CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued convertible notes payable (“Bridge Notes”) to investors in the aggregate amount of $545,000.  The Bridge Notes carry interest rates ranging from 10-12% and are due in full in one year from the date of issuance.  The Bridge Notes and accrued interest are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustments. In addition to the Bridge Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share (see Note 9).  Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-20-30 (formerly referred to as EITF 00-27), the Company valued the conversion  feature of the Bridge Notes and the warrants issued as consideration for the notes payable via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The total fair value calculated for the conversion feature was $1,493,710, which is recorded as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet (see note 10). Of this amount, $152,370 was allocated to the discount on the Bridge Notes and $1,341,340 was charged to operations.  The total fair value calculated for the warrants was $1,614,948, which is recorded as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet (see note 10).  Of this amount, $392,630 was allocated to the discount on the Bridge Notes, and $1,222,318 was charged to operations.  The aggregate discount on the Bridge Notes was $545,000, and the aggregate amount charged to operations was $2,563,658.
The discount of $545,000 will be amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the Bridge Notes using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $1,977 amortization expense of the discount on the Bridge Notes.  Interest in the aggregate amount of $6,117 was accrued on the Bridge Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE 10.  DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5, included in ASC 815-40”).  ASC 815-40 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock.  As disclosed in Note 7, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company entered into short term convertible loans with attached warrants which contain a strike price adjustment feature.  Upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 815-40, this resulted in the instruments no longer being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock.  Accordingly, adoption of ASC 815-40 changed the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for these warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2009.   During the third quarter of 2009, the liability was adjusted for warrants exercised and the change in fair value of the warrants.  In accordance with ASC 815-40, a derivative liability of $3,593,414 related to the loan conversion feature and warrants is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $380,000 related to the change in fair value of the loan conversion feature and warrants.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of  $2,563,658 related to the expense in excess of the discount on loan conversion feature and warrants.  
As a result of the adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The other liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these liabilities are as follows:
Level 1 —Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
            Liabilities

 In accordance with EITF 07-5, we calculated the fair value of the loan conversion features and warrants using the Black–Scholes–Merton valuation model.  The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model were as follows:
September 30,
2009
Expected volatility309-275%
Expected life (years)3-5
Risk free interest rate0.18-0.26%
Forfeiture rate-
Dividend rate-
Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for the recent two years.  The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of the notes and warrants. The Company currently has no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the notes and warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the notes and warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities according to the remaining term of the notes and warrants. The Company has not, and does not intend to, issue dividends; therefore, the dividend yield assumption is 0.
NOTE 11.  INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, formerly Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) 109 that requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Topic 740 determines deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate unused net operating losses (“NOL”) of approximately $3,400,000, expire at various times through 2029, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The deferred tax asset related to the NOL carryforward is approximately $540,000.  The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.
NOTE 12.  COMMITMENTS
A)Operating Leases
On January 1, 2007, the Company entered into an operating lease (the “lease”) with Cummings Properties, LLC, to lease 3,294 square feet of general office space.  The lease commenced on January 1, 2007 and was automatically extended in October 2008 until December 31, 2010.  The Company agreed to pay a security deposit of $3,000 on January 1, 2007, which was repaid to the Company in equal $500 installments over the first six months of the lease.  The Company received no rent incentives or improvement allowances under this agreement.  The lease requires the Company to pay minimum lease payments of $2,000 per month for the duration of the lease.  The lease is subject to a cost of living increase equal to the Boston, MA Consumer Price Index at the beginning of each calendar year.  As of January 1, 2009, the Company’s lease payments under this agreement increased 3.53% to $2,070.60.
B)Consulting agreements
On December 5, 2008 in conjunction with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company signed a letter agreement with Lionshare Ventures LLC (“LSV”).  As part of the letter agreement, LSV agreed to invest the balance of its original commitment to the Company effective as of May 19, 2008 for $450,000.  Thereafter, 2,000,000 shares of common stock were escrowed pending LSV’s tendering of this amount to the Company.  As of September 30, 2009, LSV has delivered $245,000 to the Company and the Company has released 1,225,000 of the 2,000,000 common shares it held in escrow.  On June 10, 2009, the Company and LSV agreed to extend the time period until December 5, 2009 in which LSV has to deliver the outstanding balance of $205,000.

Copies of these filings are also available through the terms and conditions associated with this financing. 

Reserve Equity Financing Agreement
For a period of 24 months from the effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Statement”), we may, from time to time, at our discretion, and subject to certain conditions that we must satisfy, draw down funds under the REF by selling shares“Investor Relations” section of our common stockwebsite at www.invobio.com. For other ways to AGS. The purchase priceobtain a copy of these shares will be 92% of the “VWAP” of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days after we give AGS a notice of an advance of funds (an “Advance”) under the REF (the “Pricing Period”). “VWAP” generally means, as of any date, the daily dollar volume weighted average price of our common stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. or comparable financial news service.  The amount of an Advance will automatically be reduced by 50% if on any day during the Pricing Period, the VWAP for that day does not meet or exceed 85% of the VWAP for the five trading days priorfilings, please refer to the notice of Advance (the “Floor Price”). The REF does not prohibit the Company from raising additional debt or equity financings, other than financings similar to the REF.
Our ability to require AGS to purchase our common stock is subject to various limitations. The maximum amount of each Advance is 100% of the average daily trading volume for the five days immediately preceding the notice of Advance, as reported by Bloomberg or comparable financial news service (the “Maximum Advance Amount”).  In addition, unless AGS agrees otherwise, a minimum of five calendar days must elapse between each notice of Advance.
In addition, before AGS is obligated to buy any shares of our common stock pursuant to a notice of Advance, the following conditions, none of which is in AGS’s control, must be met:
“Where You Can Find More Information” above.

 ·  
The Company shall have filed with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock issued to AGS in accordance with and subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement.
 ·  
The Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any applicable state in accordance with the registration rights agreement for the offer and sale of the shares of common stock, or shall have the availability of exemptions therefrom. The sale and issuance of the shares of common stock shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject.
 ·  
There shall not be any fundamental changes to the information set forth in the Registration Statement which are not already reflected in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.
 ·  
The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the REF agreement and the registration rights agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company.
 ·  
No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits the consummation of or which would materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the REF agreement, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting the consummation of or materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the REF Agreement.-51-

  ·  
The common stock is trading on a principal market (as defined in the REF, and including the OTC Bulletin Board). The trading of the common stock is not suspended by the SEC or the principal market. The issuance of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable closing will not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the principal market. The Company shall not have received any notice threatening the continued quotation of the common stock on the principal market and the Company shall have no knowledge of any event which would be more likely than not to have the effect of causing the common stock to not be trading or quoted on a principal market.
 ·  
The amount of an Advance shall not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. In no event shall the number of shares issuable to AGS pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by AGS and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (“Ownership Limitation”). Any portion of an Advance that would cause AGS exceed the Ownership Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn. For the purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
 ·  
The Company has no knowledge of any event which would be more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective at Closing.
 ·  
AGS shall have received an Advance notice executed by an officer of the Company and the representations contained in such Advance notice shall be true and correct.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the foregoing conditions or any other conditions under the REF agreement or that we will be able to draw down any portion of the amounts available under the REF.
There is no contractual limit to the number of shares that we may be required to issue to obtain funds from the REF as it is dependent upon our share price, which varies from day to day. If we draw down amounts under the REF when our share price is decreasing, we will need to issue more shares to raise the same amount than if our stock price was higher. This could cause downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
The Company currently intends to issue and register approximately 8,100,000 shares of common stock under the REF.  The entire share requirement for the full $10,000,000 would be approximately 21,505,000 based on current market prices.  However, the Company has decided to limit itself to 8,100,000 shares available, or $3,756,500, based on current market prices.  If the Company’s share price rises, the Company will be able to draw down in excess of $3,800,000. If the Company decides to issue more than 8,100,000 shares, we will need to file an additional registration statement with the SEC covering those additional shares. 
The REF contains representations and warranties of the Company and AGS which are typical for transactions of this type. AGS agreed that during the term of the REF, neither AGS nor any of its affiliates, nor any entity managed or controlled by it, will, or cause or assist any person to, enter into or execute any short sale of any shares of our common stock as defined in Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act.  The representations and warranties made by the Company in the REF are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in disclosure schedules delivered to AGS. The REF also contains a variety of covenants on the part of the Company which are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the obligation, without the prior written consent of AGS, not to enter into any other equity line of credit agreement with a third party during the term of the REF. 
The REF obligates the Company to indemnify AGS for certain losses resulting from a misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or breach of any obligation of the Company. AGS also indemnifies the Company for similar matters.
The Company paid no fees, and is not obligated to pay any fees in the future, in connection with the REF, other than a due diligence fee of $10,000, all of which has been paid as of the date hereof.
The Company may terminate the REF effective upon fifteen trading days’ prior written notice to AGS; provided that (i) there are no Advances outstanding, and (ii) the Company has paid all amounts owed to AGS pursuant to the REF. The obligation of AGS to make an Advance to the Company pursuant to the REF shall terminate permanently if (i) there shall occur any stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for an aggregate of fifty (50) trading days or (ii) the Company shall at any time fail materially to comply with certain covenants specified in the REF and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from AGS, subject to exceptions.

 Registration Rights Agreement
The shares of common stock that may be issued to AGS under the REF will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we will file a registration statement, covering the possible resale by AGS of the shares that we may issue to AGS under the REF (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement may cover only a portion of the total shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF with AGS. We may file subsequent Registration Statements covering the resale of additional shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF.  As described above, the effectiveness of this Registration Statement is a condition precedent to our ability to sell common stock to AGS under the REF. We intend to file the Registration Statement within 30-45 days from the date hereof.
 Placement Agent
The Company engaged Gilford Securities, Inc. (“Gilford”) to act as its placement agent on a nonexclusive basis in connection with the REF.  Gilford will receive a cash commission equaling six percent (6%) of the total proceeds received by the Company from the sale of securities sold to AGS.  In addition, the Company is to issue and sell to Gilford and/or its designees, for a total cost of one dollar ($1.00), 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  If the Company elects to have a closing under the REF on more than $6,000,000, then the Company shall issue and sell to Gilford and/or its designees, for a total cost of one dollar ($1), an additional 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Company will pay all reasonable expenses, not to exceed $10,000, incurred by Gilford in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the definitive documents, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and consulting expenses in two installments.  The first installment of $5,000 was paid upon execution of the definitive documents and the balance will be due upon the first funding under the REF based on actual expenses.   The placement agent agreement also contains customary mutual indemnification provisions.

NOTE 1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) General
INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“the Company”) intends to commercialize its proven and patented technology that will revolutionize the treatment of infertility.  The Company’s device, the INVOcell and the INVO procedure are designed to be simple for the patient and the clinician, less expensive and simpler to perform than conventional in vitro fertilization.  The simplicity of INVO means that it may be performed in a physician’s practice and therefore it will be available in many more locations than conventional IVF.  INVO also allows conception and embryo development to take place inside the woman's body; an attractive feature for most women.
We are a development stage company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.  The Company’s Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan, seeking regulatory clearance in the European Union and the United States and raising capital.
Through December 31, 2008, we have generated minimal sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained losses.  Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
In May 2008, the Company received notice that the INVOcell product meets all the essential requirements of the relevant European Directive(s), and received CE Marking.  The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA).  The CE marking (an acronym for the French “Conformité Européenne”) certifies that a product has met EU health, safety and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.
With CE Marking, the Company now has the ability and necessary regulatory authority to distribute its product in the European Economic Area (Includes: The European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most parts of the Middle East).  The Company has sold 785 units of INVOcell to date.
(B) Basis of Presentation (Reverse Merger and Corporate Structure)
On December 5, 2008, the Company completed a merger transaction with Emy’s Salsa Aji Distribution Company, Inc. (“Emy’s”) an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations.  Emy’s was incorporated on July 11, 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Certiorari Corp.  In connection with the reverse merger, INVO Bioscience became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the INVO Bioscience Shareholders acquired control of Emy’s.  
For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a recapitalization and the Company is the surviving entity.  In connection with the reverse merger, 14,937,500 shares were retained by Emy’s shareholders.
Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding shares of common owned by the Company's shareholders were exchanged for an aggregate of 38,307,500 shares of Emy’s common stock.
Effective with the Agreement, Emys changed its name to INVO Bioscience Inc.
All references to common stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 357.0197 shares of INVO Bioscience common stock for 1 shares of the acquirer's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the merger with Emys.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2007
(C) 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.
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had $15,716 and $0 cash equivalents respectively.
(E) Inventory
Inventories consist of finished products and are stated at the lower of cost or market; using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as a cost flow convention. 
(F) Property and Equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 3 to 7 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.  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.
(G) Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”).  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 in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
(H) Loss Per Share
We use SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share.  We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.  There were 120,000 common share equivalents at December 31, 2008 and none at December 31, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2007
(I) Identifiable Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment.  During the period December 31, 2008, the Company purchased $31,000 of additional patents that establish and protect its proprietary technology and product in several countries.  The Company intends to amortize these costs over the useful life of the patents.  
(J) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP.  SFAS 157 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.  SFAS 157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
(K) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”).  Under SFAS 109, deferred 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.  Under SFAS 109, 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.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken on a tax return.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
(L) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(M) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits.  The Company had no amounts in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
(N) Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2007
(O) 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 enterprise are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to the fair value and an impairment loss recognized.  There was no impairment recorded from January 5, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008.
(P) Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”  Research and development costs include expenses incurred by the Company for research, design and development of our proprietary technology and are charged to operations as incurred.  Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Total expenditures on research and product development for 2008 and 2007 were approximately $52,000 and $33,000 respectively.
 (Q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.   SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161).  This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments.  Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures.  SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted.  We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process.  The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6).  The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.  This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities.  This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation.  This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.  SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods for those fiscal years.  The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements.  The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2007
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009.  The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”).  FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 07-5 (EITF 07-5), Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.  EITF 07-5 requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions.  Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, paragraph 11(a), and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market.  The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.  The Company is assessing the impact of this EITF for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has just commenced operations in December 2008, has a net loss of $1,873,000 a working capital deficiency of $690,000, a stockholder deficiency of $677,000 and cash used in operations of $1,067,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2008 was $630,000.  Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $5.50 as of December 31, 2008, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.  As of December 31, 2008, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $210,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not charge to operations the related expense to recognized stock-based compensation for the above stock options.
NOTE  9INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard number 109, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $1,800,000, expire at various times through 2028, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.  The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is approximately $540,000.  The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.
NOTE 10COMMITMENTS
 A)Operating Leases
On January 1, 2007, the Company entered into an operating lease (the “lease”) with Cummings Properties, LLC, to lease 3,294 square feet of general office space.  The lease commenced on January 1, 2007 and was automatically extended in October 2008 until December 31, 2010.  The Company agreed to pay a security deposit of $3,000 on January 1, 2007, which was repaid to the Company in equal $500 installments over the first six months of the lease.  The Company received no rent incentives or improvement allowances under this agreement.  The lease requires the Company to pay minimum lease payments of $2,000 per month for the duration of the lease.  The lease is subject to a cost of living increase equal to the Boston, MA Consumer Price Index at the beginning of each calendar year.  As of January 1, 2009, the Company’s lease payments under this agreement increased 3.53% to $2,070.60.

On October 22, 2007, the Company entered into a fee agreement with Business Growth Resources, LLC (“BGR”), 28 Aspenwood St., Suite 215, Simsbury, CT to assist the Company with raising operating capital.  The Company agreed to pay Business Growth Resources a retainer of $7,500 payable as follows: $2,500 upon execution of the agreement, and $2,500 every thirty days thereafter.  The Company also agreed to pay Business Growth Resources, LLC 5% of any investment proceeds that were introduced to the Company by BGR.  Because of BGR’s inability to introduce viable investment opportunities to the Company, the two parties separated the agreement on August 9, 2008.  The Company paid $5,000 for BGR’s efforts.
On December 5, 2008 in conjunction with the closing of the Securities Exchange Agreement the Company signed a term sheet with Lionshare Ventures LLC (“LSV”).  The terms of the agreement were such that LSV agreed to invest the balance of its original commitment to the Company dated May 19, 2008 in the amount of $450,000.  2,000,000 shares of common stock were escrowed until the money was funded to the Company.  As of today, LSV has delivered $200,000 and the Company released 1,000,000 of common shares from escrow.
C)Anti-Dilution and Piggyback Registration Rights
On December 5, 2008, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the certain investors who have piggyback registration rights that permit them to register their common stock on any registration statement filed by the Company.  In addition, pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights granted under the Securities Purchase Agreement to the investors, the Company may be obligated to issue additional shares of its common stock to the investors in the event it issues common stock to future investors at a per share purchase price less than $1.00.  The number of additional shares to be issued in such event is equal to that number of shares that the investors would have acquired at such price had that price been offered at the time of their original investment, minus the number of shares acquired in their original investment.  Further, pursuant to the letter agreement, LSV and its managing member, Christopher Esposito, have agreed to forfeit to us, one share of our common stock for every two shares we would be required to issue up to the maximum of 562,5000 shares, which number of shares are being held in escrow by us until December 5, 2010.
D)Employee Agreements
Since January 1, 2008, the Company has signed nine employee agreements for officers, executives and employees of the Company.  Three of these agreements were with the founders of the Company.  
The remaining six of the agreements were executed with executives and staff of the Company.  These employees were issued common shares and options to purchase common shares of the Company.  Under the terms of these employee agreements, these shares only vest upon the completion of the Exchange Agreement and the implementation of the Company’s Employee Stock Plan.  The Exchange Agreement closed on December 5, 2008, the Company has yet to implement an Employee Stock Plan, it is planning to do so in the second quarter of 2009.  As of today, a total of 303,500 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been promised but not issued.

Our articles of incorporation provide the personal liability of our directors is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS.

Section 78.7502 of the NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts shownpaid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502 of the NRS requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer that has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or suit. Section 78.7502 of the NRS precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.

If so provided in the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement, Section 78.751 of the NRS requires a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Section 78.751 of the NRS further permits the company to grant its directors and Exchange Commission registration fee.

(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser;

(6)That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(7)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
