NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“INVO” or the “Company”) is a healthcare services company dedicated to expanding access to fertility care around the world. The Company’s commercial strategy is primarily focused on operating fertility-focused clinics, which include the opening of “INVO Centers” dedicated primarily to offering the intravaginal culture (“IVC”) procedure enabled by its INVOcell® medical device (“INVOcell”) and the acquisition of US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) clinics. The Company has two operational INVO Centers in the United States and completed its first IVF clinic acquisition in August 2023. The Company also continues to engage in the sale and distribution of its INVOcell technology solution into existing independently owned and operated fertility clinics.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. The Company presents noncontrolling interest within the equity section of its consolidated balance sheets and the amount of consolidated net income (loss) that is attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interest in its consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting when it owns an interest in an entity whereby it can exert significant influence over but cannot control the entity’s operations.
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The Company considers events or transactions that have occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2024, but prior to the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the SEC in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure, as applicable. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position, or cash flows.
Business Segments
The
Company operates in
Business Acquisitions
The Company accounts for all business acquisitions at fair value and expenses acquisition costs as they are incurred. Any identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. If information about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date is incomplete at the end of the reporting period in which a business acquisition occurs, the Company will report provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. The measurement period ends once the Company receives sufficient information to finalize the fair values; however, the period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIE”), where the Company is the primary beneficiary under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary when, along with its affiliates and agents, the primary beneficiary has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reconsiders whether an entity is still a VIE only upon certain triggering events and continually assesses its consolidated VIEs to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary. See “Note 3 – Variable Interest Entities” for additional information on the Company’s VIEs.
8 |
Equity Method Investments
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, over which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalents balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method as a cost flow method.
Property and Equipment
The
Company records property and equipment at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated
economic lives of the assets, which are from
9 |
Long- Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations
change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of
the asset are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss recognized. There
was
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825-10-50, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and its domestic tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in multiple state jurisdictions. The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including taxable income in prior carryback years, reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings, and available tax planning strategies. To the extent the Company does not consider it more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC limits.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the new revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:
1. | Identify the contract with the customer. |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
3. | Determine the total transaction price. |
4. | Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract. |
5. | Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. |
10 |
Revenue generated from the sale of INVOcell is typically recognized at the time the product is shipped, at which time the title passes to the customer, and there are no further performance obligations.
Revenue generated from clinical and lab services related at the Company’s affiliated INVO Centers is typically recognized at the time the service is performed.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”). This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service or based on performance goals in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
Note 2 – Liquidity
Historically,
the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs primarily through revenue collection and debt and equity financings. For the six
months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $
11 |
The
Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings to meet its needs for cash used in operating and
investing activities. During the first six months of 2024, the Company received $
Although the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, the Company has incurred significant operating losses, and the Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses as it continues to ramp up the commercialization of INVOcell and develop new INVO Centers. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in the Company.
Note 3 – Business Combinations
Wisconsin Fertility Institute
On
August 10, 2023, INVO, through Wood Violet Fertility LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Wood Violet”) and wholly owned
subsidiary of INVO Centers LLC (“INVO CTR”), a Delaware company wholly-owned by INVO, consummated its acquisition of the
Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”) for a combined purchase price of $
WFI was comprised of (a) a medical practice, Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C., a Wisconsin professional service corporation d/b/a Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFRSA”), and (b) a laboratory services company, Fertility Labs of Wisconsin, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“FLOW”). WFRSA owned, operated, and managed WFI’s fertility practice that provided direct treatment to patients focused on fertility, gynecology, and obstetrics care and surgical procedures, and employed physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver such services and procedures. FLOW provided WFRSA with related laboratory services.
INVO purchased the non-medical assets of WFRSA and one hundred percent of FLOW’s membership interests through Wood Violet. Concurrently, Wood Violet and WFRSA entered into a management services agreement pursuant to which WFRSA outsourced all its non-medical activities to Wood Violet. As a result, post-closing, WFI is comprised of (a) WFRSA, which only employs physicians to provide medical services, and (b) Wood Violet, which employs all other clinic personnel and provides all non-medical services, including laboratory services. FLOW is no longer operational as its operations were absorbed by Wood Violet.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 include WFI’s results of operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the final purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
The following allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Note 9 – Leases
The Company has various operating lease agreements in place for its office and joint ventures. Per FASB’s ASU 2016-02, Leases Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”), effective January 1, 2019, the Company is required to report a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability to report the present value of the total lease payments, with appropriate interest calculation. The rate implicit in the lease was not readily determinable. Historically, the Company historically utilized the applicable federal rate as of the commencement of the lease; however, the Company has determined that utilization of the applicable federal rate was not its comparable incremental borrowing rate. The Company has since calculated the incremental borrowing rate for each lease by developing a synthetic credit rating for the Company as of the commencement date of each lease, adjusting the synthetic credit rating to reflect the collateralized nature of the incremental borrowing rate, and based on the adjusted synthetic rating and the various terms of the leases, selected the incremental borrowing rate based on the commencement date, duration of the lease, and a corresponding weight-adjusted corporate yield curve. The Company then completed a sensitivity analysis on all of its current leases and determined there was no material difference between using the applicable federal rate and the applicable incremental borrowing rate. Lease renewal options included in any lease are considered in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option to renew. The Company’s operating lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s lease components included in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:
