Explanatory
Note
This Amendment No. 3 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment” or “Amendment No. 3”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 originally filed on April 16, 2024 (the “Original Filing”) and amended on April 17, 2024 (the “First Amendment”) and on April 29, 2024 (the “Second Amendment”) by NAYA Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“NAYA,” the” Company,” “we,” or “us”). We are filing this Amendment to restate our financial statements as of and for the periods ending December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Previous Financial Statements”). The Previous Financial Statements are restated to correct the discount rates for the valuation of the Company’s right of use asset and corresponding lease liability in each of the Previous Financial Statements. In each of the Previous Financial Statements, the Company had incorrectly used the applicable federal rate rather than the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
The impact of this error is limited to the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the error did not impact the Company’s revenue, results of operation, earnings (loss) per share, or net equity. The error has not resulted in any change to the Company’s business plan or operations and does not impact any regulatory requirements or management compensation.
This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures, except as disclosed in our financial statement footnote subsequent event disclosures. The following sections of our Original Filing have been amended:
● Part II - Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; and
● Part II - Item 9A – Controls and Procedures
This Amendment has been signed as of a current date and all certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are given as of a current date. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to changes in economic conditions, legislative or regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to advance our clinical programs and raise additional financing and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of NAYA Biosciences, Inc.
Opinionon the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NAYA Biosciences, Inc. (former name: INVO Bioscience, Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
GoingConcern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basisfor Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Restatement of the 2023 and 2022 Consolidated FinancialStatements
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying 2023 and 2022 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct for errors.
CriticalAudit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Transactions and ImproperRevenue Recognition
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:
Identify the contract with the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Determine the total transaction price.
Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.
Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
Auditing management’s evaluation of revenue from contracts with customers involves significant judgment, given the fact that the agreements require management’s evaluation, identification of the contract and the performance obligation, the total transaction price and the allocation of the total transaction price, the determination of when the performance obligation is satisfied, and consideration that revenue is an inherent fraud risk.
To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements.

NAYA
BIOSCIENCES, INC. (FORMER NAME: INVO BIOSCIENCE, INC.)
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2023
Note1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Descriptionof Business
NAYA Biosciences, Inc. a Nevada corporation formerly known as INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“NAYA” or the “Company”) is a healthcare services fertility company dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. The Company’s commercialization strategy is focused on the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering the INVOcell and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), the acquisition of US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) clinics (with one such clinic acquired in August 2023) and the sale and distribution of our technology solution into existing fertility clinics. The Company’s proprietary technology, INVOcell, is a revolutionary medical device that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman’s body. This treatment solution is the world’s first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development.
Basisof 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 December 31, 2023, but prior to the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the SEC in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
BusinessSegments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
BusinessAcquisitions
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.
VariableInterest 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 6 – Variable Interest Entities” for additional information on the Company’s VIEs.

| --- |
EquityMethod Investments
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Useof 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 consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cashand 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.
Propertyand Equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 3 to 10 years. The Company capitalizes the expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to the fair value and an impairment loss recognized. There was no
impairment recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023,
and an impairment of $132,227
recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022.

FairValue 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.
IncomeTaxes
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.
Concentrationof Credit Risk
Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have cash balances in excess of FDIC limits.
RevenueRecognition
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<br> the contract with the customer. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Identify<br> the performance obligations in the contract. |
| 3. | Determine<br> the total transaction price. |
| 4. | Allocate<br> the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract. |
| 5. | Recognize<br> as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. |
| F-8 |
| --- |
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.
StockBased Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”). This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service or based on performance goals in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
LossPer Share
Basic loss per share calculations are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

RecentlyAdopted 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.
Note2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As a result of an internal review, the Company identified errors related to its borrowing rate for lease accounting in its previously issued (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023 included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Periods”) and (ii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2024 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024 (the “Interim Periods”, which, together with the Annual Periods, the “Affected Periods”).
The review was prompted by the Company’s receipt of comments issued by the staff of the SEC upon its review of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports. After review of the staff’s comments, discussions with the staff, and investigation and further analysis, the Company determined that it had made an error in the application of generally accepted accounting principles by incorrectly utilizing the applicable federal rates as the discount rates for the valuation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability, rather than the Company’s incremental borrowing rates.
The Company evaluated the materiality of these misstatements both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current YearFinancial Statements, and determined the effect of correcting these misstatements was material to the Affected Periods. As a result of the material misstatements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements”).
A reconciliation from the amounts previously reported for the Affected Periods to the restated amounts in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements is provided for the impacted financial statement line items below for: (i) the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023; and (ii) the consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2023, there was no impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022. The amounts labeled “Restatement Adjustments” represent the effects of the Restatement Adjustments.

Note4 – Liquidity
Historically,
the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs through revenue collection, equity financings, notes, and convertible notes. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $8.0
million and $10.9
million, respectively, and has an accumulated
deficit of approximately $57.8
million as of December 31, 2023. Approximately $2.8
million of the net loss was related to non-cash
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The
Company has been dependent on raising capital through debt and equity financings to meet its needs for cash used in operating and investing activities. During 2022, the Company received proceeds of $0.8
million from demand notes and net proceeds of
approximately $0.3
million for the sale of its common stock. During 2023, the
Company received proceeds of $3.2
million from notes and net proceeds of approximately
$5.7 million for the sale of its common stock. Over the next 12 months, the Company’s plan includes growing the Wisconsin Fertility Institute and pursuing additional IVF clinic acquisitions. Until the Company can generate positive cash from operations, it will need to raise additional funding to meet its liquidity needs and to execute its business strategy. As in the past, the Company will seek debt and/or equity financing, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
Although the Company’s audited 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
Note5 – Business Combinations
WisconsinFertility Institute
On August 10, 2023, the Company, through Wood Violet Fertility LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and wholly owned subsidiary of INVO Centers LLC (“INVO CTR”), a Delaware company wholly-owned by the Company, consummated its acquisition of the Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFI”) for a combined purchase price of $10
million,
of which $2.5
million
was paid on the closing date (net cash paid was $2,150,000
after
a $350,000
holdback)
plus assumption of the inter-company loan owed by WFRSA (as defined below) in the amount of $528,756
.
The remaining three installments of $2.5
million
each will be paid on the subsequent three anniversaries of closing. The sellers have the option to take all or a portion of the final three installments in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $125.00
,
$181.80
,
and $285.80 , for the second, third, and final installments, respectively.
WFI is comprised of (a) a medical practice, Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C., a Wisconsin professional service corporation d/b/a Wisconsin Fertility Institute (“WFRSA”), and (b) a laboratory services company, Fertility Labs of Wisconsin, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“FLOW”). WFRSA owns, operates and manages WFI’s fertility practice that provides direct treatment to patients focused on fertility, gynecology and obstetrics care and surgical procedures, and employs physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver such services and procedures. FLOW provides WFRSA with related laboratory services.
The Company purchased the non-medical assets of WFRSA and one hundred percent of FLOW’s membership interests. The Buyer and WFRSA entered into a management services agreement pursuant to which WFRSA outsourced all its non-medical activities to the Buyer.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 include WFI’s results of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, WFI’s results of operations are included from the acquisition date of August 10, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

Note6 – Variable Interest Entities
ConsolidatedVIEs
BloomINVO, LLC
On June 28, 2021, INVO Centers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“INVO CTR”) entered into a limited liability company operating agreement (the “Bloom Agreement”) with Bloom Fertility, LLC (“Bloom”) to establish a joint venture entity, formed as “Bloom INVO LLC” (the “Georgia JV”), for the purposes of commercializing INVOcell, and the related IVC procedure, through the establishment of an INVO Center, (the “Atlanta Clinic”) in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.
In
consideration for the Company’s commitment to contribute up to $800,000
within the 24-month period following the execution
of the Bloom Agreement to support the start-up operations of the Georgia JV, the Georgia JV issued 800
of its units to INVO CTR and in consideration
for Bloom’s commitment to contribute physician services having an anticipated value of up to $1,200,000
over the course of a 24-month vesting period,
the Georgia JV issued 1,200 of its units to Bloom.
The responsibilities of Bloom include providing all medical services required for the operation of the Atlanta Clinic. The responsibilities of INVO CTR include providing certain funding to the Georgia JV, lab services quality management, and providing access to and being the exclusive provider of the INVOcell to the Georgia JV. INVO CTR also performs all required, industry specific compliance and accreditation functions, and product documentation for product registration.
| F-17 |
| --- |
The Bloom Agreement provides Bloom with a “profits interest” in the Georgia JV and, in connection with such profits interest, states that profits and losses be allocated to its members based on a hypothetical liquidation of the Georgia JV. In such a scenario, liquidation proceeds would be distributed in the following order: (a) to INVO CTR until the difference between its capital contributions and distributions (the “Hurdle Amount”) equals $0
;
(b) to Bloom until its distributions equal 150 % of the liquidation amounts distributed to INVO CTR (a “catch-up” to rebalance the distributions between members); and (c) thereafter on a pro rata basis. The Georgia JV had no assets or liabilities at the time the units were issued, and, as of December 31, 2023, INVO CTR had made capital contributions greater than the net loss of the Georgia JV. As such, the entire net loss was allocated to INVO CTR, and no loss was allocated to the noncontrolling interest of Bloom.
The Georgia JV opened to patients on September 7, 2021.
The
Company determined the Georgia JV is a VIE, and that the Company is its primary beneficiary because the Company has an obligation to absorb losses that are potentially significant and the Company controls the majority of the activities that impact the Georgia JV’s economic performance, specifically control of the INVOcell and lab services quality management. As a result, the Company consolidated the Georgia JV’s results with its own. As of December 31, 2023, the Company invested $0.9
million in the Georgia JV in the form of capital
contributions as well as $0.5
million in the form of a note. For the years
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Georgia JV recorded net losses of $0.2
million and $0.6
million, respectively. Noncontrolling interest in the Georgia JV was $0.
UnconsolidatedVIEs
HRCFG
INVO, LLC
On March 10, 2021, INVO CTR entered into a limited liability company agreement with HRCFG, LLC (“HRCFG”) to form a joint venture for the purpose of establishing an INVO Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The name of the joint venture entity is HRCFG INVO, LLC (the “Alabama JV”). The Company also provides certain funding to the Alabama JV. Each party owns 50% of the Alabama JV.
The Alabama JV opened to patients on August 9, 2021.
The
Company determined the Alabama JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company uses the equity method to account for its interest in the Alabama JV. As of December 31, 2023, the Company invested $1.4
million in the Alabama JV in the form of a note.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Alabama JV recorded net losses of $0.03
million and $0.3
million, respectively, of which the Company recognized
losses from equity method investments of $0.02
million and $0.2
million, respectively.
PositibFertility, S.A. de C.V.
On September 24, 2020, INVO CTR entered into a Pre-Incorporation and Shareholders Agreement with Francisco Arredondo, MD PLLC (“Arredondo”) and Security Health LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Ramirez”, and together with INVO CTR and Arredondo, the “Shareholders”) under which the Shareholders will commercialize the IVC procedure and offer related medical treatments in Mexico. Each party owns one-third of the Mexican incorporated company, Positib Fertility, S.A. de C.V. (the “Mexico JV”).
The Mexico JV opened to patients on November 1, 2021.
The
Company determined the Mexico JV is a VIE, and that there is no primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company uses the equity method to account for its interest in the Mexico JV. As of December 31, 2023, the Company invested $0.1
million in the Mexico JV. For the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Mexico JV recorded net losses of $0.1
million and $0.1
million, respectively, of which the Company recognized
a loss from equity method investments of $0.04
million and $0.05
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023
the Company determined that this investment is impaired and recognized an impairment of $0.09 million.

It then expenses annual filing fees to maintain the patents. The Company regularly reviews the value of its patents in the marketplace in proportion to the expense it must spend to maintain the patent. The Company fully impaired its patents as of December 31, 2022.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expenses related to patents of $0
and $1,809
, respectively.
The trademarks have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized. Trademarks are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company fully impaired its trademarks related to the INVO name as of December 31, 2022.
As part of the acquisition of Wisconsin
Fertility Institute, that closed on August 10, 2023, the Company acquired tradename valued at $253,000, noncompetition agreements valued at $3,961,000 and goodwill of $5,878,986 which includes assembled workforce valued at $34,000. The tradename was deemed to have a useful life of 10 years. The noncompetition agreements were deemed to have a useful life of 5 years. The useful life of the noncompetition agreements was based on the noncompetition clauses in the FLOW Equity Purchase Agreement and WFRSA Asset Purchase Agreement, each of which provides that none of the sellers will engage in any business or services that compete with the respective businesses for 5 years.
Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is therefore not amortized. The Company reviewed and found no indicators for impairment of the intangible assets related to the acquisition of Wisconsin Fertility Institute as of December 31, 2023.

Note11 – 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. Historically, the Company 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, the Company’s borrowing rate under other debt facilities, and the market spread between secured and unsecured borrowings, 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. 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 December 31, 2023, the Company’s lease components included in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

February 2023 Convertible Debentures
On February 3, and February 17, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “February Purchase Agreements”) with accredited investors (the “February Investors”) for the purchase of (i) convertible debentures of the Company in the aggregate original principal amount of $500,000
(the “February Debentures”) for a purchase
price of $450,000
,
(ii) warrants (the “February Warrants”) to purchase 12,500 shares (the “February Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00
per share, and (iii) 4,167
shares of Common Stock issued as an inducement for issuing the February Debentures. The proceeds, net of placement agent and legal fees, were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
cumulative fair value of the warrants at issuance was $291,207
.
This was recognized as a debt discount and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective notes. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company amortized $347,520 of the debt discount and as of December 31, 2023 the Company had fully amortized the discount.
Pursuant to the February Debentures, interest on the February Debentures accrued at a rate of eight percent (8
%)
per annum payable at maturity, one year from the date of the February Debentures. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company incurred $9,640 in interest on the February Debentures.
All
amounts due under the February Debentures were convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part, at the option of the February Investors into Common Stock at an initial price of $10.40 per share. This conversion price was subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations or similar events and anti-dilution provisions, among other adjustments and is subject to a floor price.
The
Company could prepay the February Debentures at any time in whole or in part by paying a sum of money equal to 105 % of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest.
While
any portion of each February Debenture remained outstanding, if the Company received cash proceeds of more than $2,000,000 (the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the February Investors had the right in their sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 50
%
of all proceeds received by the Company above the Minimum Threshold to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the February Debentures. In April 2023, the Company used $360,151
in proceeds from the RD Offering (as described
in Note 11 below) to repay a portion of the February Debentures. On August 8, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance of $139,849 with proceeds from the August Public Offering (as described in Note 16 below).
The
February Warrants included anti-dilution protection whereby a subsequent offering priced below the February Warrants’ strike price then in effect would entitle the February Investors to a reduction of such strike price to the price of such subsequent offering and an increase in the February Warrant Shares determined by dividing the dollar amount for which the February Warrants are exercisable by such lower strike price. As a result of the $2.85
unit purchase price of the August Public Offering
(as described in Note 16 below), following consummation of the August Public Offering, the February Warrants now entitle the February Investors to purchase a total 65,790
at an exercise price of $2.85
per February Warrant Share. On August 8, 2023,
the Company issued 26,391
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of one of
the February Warrants on a net-exercise basis and on August 21, 2023, the Company issued 17,594 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the other February Warrant on a net-exercise basis. Following these exercises, there were no February Warrants outstanding.

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

In January and March 2023, the Company
issued 5-year warrants to purchase 19,375 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.00 related to the Q1 23 Convertible Notes. As of December 27, 2023, as an incentive for the Q1 23 Convertible Note holders to approve the extension, the Company agreed to lower the warrant exercise price to $2.25.

On February 3, and February 17, 2023,
the Company issued warrants (the “February Warrants”) to purchase 12,500 shares (the “February Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share as an inducement for issuing the February Debentures.
The February Warrants included anti-dilution
protection whereby a subsequent offering priced below the February Warrants’ strike price then in effect would entitle the February Investors to a reduction of such strike price to the price of such subsequent offering and an increase in the February Warrant Shares determined by dividing the dollar amount for which the February Warrants are exercisable by such lower strike price. As a result of the $2.85 unit purchase price of the August Public Offering, following consummation of the August Public Offering, the February Warrants now entitle the February Investors to purchase a total 65,790 at an exercise price of $2.85 per February Warrant Share. On August 8, 2023, the Company issued 26,391 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of one of the February Warrants on a net-exercise basis and on August 21, 2023, the Company issued 17,594 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the other February Warrant on a net-exercise basis.

Additionally, we agreed to include a proposal in our proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting common stock, to effectuate the reduction of the exercise price (the “Exercise Price Reduction”) set forth in Section 2(b) of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued to Armistice on March 27, 2023 (the “Existing Warrants”) to the per unit public offering price of the August 2023 Offering (or $2.85), in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) (the “Stockholder Approval”) with the recommendation of our board of directors that such proposal be approved.

The
Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaling $11.1
million and $9.3
million, respectively. A naked credit resulting from indefinite lived intangibles was valued at December 31, 2023, and 2022 totaling $0 and ($1,949), respectively.
As
of December 31, 2023, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32.9
million. Of that amount, $10.2
million will expire, if not utilized, in various
years beginning in 2028 and which are also subject to the limitations of IRC §382. The remaining carryforward amount of $22.7
million, has no expiration period and can be
applied to 80% of taxable income per year in future periods. State net operating loss carryforwards total $21.9
million. Of that amount, $3.5
million will begin to expire in 2033 and are
subject to the limitations of IRC §382. The remaining $18.4 million of state net operating loss carryforwards are similar to the federal net operating loss in that it has no expiration period and can be applied to 100% of state taxable income per year.
Note18 – Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
The Company’s insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and includes: (i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (iv) excess liability insurance above the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.
LegalMatters
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

The Company has agreed to hold a meeting for the purpose of obtaining this stockholder approval within nine (9) months of the date of the FirstFire Purchase Agreement.
The FirstFire Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by each of the Company and FirstFire. Among other covenants of the parties, the Company granted FirstFire the right to participate in any subsequent placement of securities until the earlier of eighteen (18) months after the date of the FirstFire Purchase Agreement or extinguishment of the FirstFire Note.

The following sets forth the material terms of the FirstFire Note, the First Warrant, and the Second Warrant.
FirstFire Note
Interestand Maturity. The FirstFire Note carries an interest rate of twelve percent (12
%)
per annum, with the first twelve months of interest, amounting to $33,000.00 , guaranteed, and fully earned as of the issue date. The maturity date of the FirstFire Note is twelve (12) months from the issue date, at which point the Principal Amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable to the holder of the FirstFire Note.
Conversion.
The holder of the FirstFire Note is entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest into Conversion Shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The FirstFire Note may not be converted and Conversion Shares may not be issued under the FirstFire Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock. In addition to the beneficial ownership limitations in the FirstFire Note, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the FirstFire Note, the First Warrant, the Second Warrant, and under the FirstFire Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares) is limited to 19.99% of the outstanding common stock as of April 5, 2024 (the “Exchange Cap”, which is equal to 523,344 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as described in the FirstFire Purchase Agreement), unless stockholder approval is obtained by the Company to issue more than the Exchange Cap. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.
Prepayment. The Company may prepay the FirstFire Note at any time in whole or in part by paying a sum of money equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus the accrued and unpaid interest.
Future
Proceeds. While any portion of the FirstFire Note is outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $1,500,000
from any source or series of related or unrelated
sources, or more than $1,000,000 from any public offering (the “Minimum Threshold”), the Company shall, within one (1) business day of Company’s receipt of such proceeds, inform FirstFire of such receipt, following which FirstFire shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of all proceeds received by the Company above the Minimum Threshold to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the FirstFire Note.
| F-36 |
| --- |
Covenants. The Company is subject to various covenants that restrict its ability to, among other things, declare dividends, make certain investments, sell assets outside the ordinary course of business, or enter into transactions with affiliates, thereby ensuring the Company operational and financial activities are conducted in a manner that prioritizes the repayment of the FirstFire Note.
Eventsof Default. The FirstFire Note outlines specific events of default and provides FirstFire certain rights and remedies in such events, including but not limited to the acceleration of the FirstFire Note’s due date and a requirement for the Company to pay a default amount. Specific events that constitute a default under the FirstFire Note include, but are not limited to, failure to pay principal or interest when due, breaches of covenants or agreements, bankruptcy or insolvency events, and a failure to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon an event of default, the FirstFire Note becomes immediately due and payable, and the Borrower is subject to a default sum as stipulated.
The FirstFire Note is subject to, and governed by, the terms and conditions of the FirstFire Purchase Agreement.
In
October 2024, the Company issued 190,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $190,000 as a result of a partial conversion of the FirstFire Note. No gain or loss was recorded on conversion, as the issuance of common stock was pursuant to the terms of a prior agreement.

If a registration statement registering the issuance of the First Warrant Shares underlying the First Warrant under the Securities Act is not effective or available, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the First Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of First Warrant Shares determined according to the formula set forth in the First Warrant.

April 17, 2024, the Company, having reported, on April 16, 2024, stockholders’ equity of $892,825 in the Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, received notice (the “Notice”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) that requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”).
In a decision dated November 22, 2023, a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) previously had confirmed that the Company regained compliance with the Equity Rule. In the decision, the Panel imposed a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year or until November 22, 2024, which would require Staff to issue a Delist Determination Letter, in the event that the Company failed to maintain compliance with the Equity Rule (the “Panel Monitor”). As a result, the Notice contains the Staff’s determination to delist the Company.
As described in the Notice, under Nasdaq rules, the Company had and exercised its right to request an appeal of this determination to prevent its securities from being delisted and suspended at the opening of business on April 26, 2024. The Company’s hearing to present its appeal of the Staff’s determination in front of the Panel was heard on June 6, 2024.
On June 18, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that the Panel had granted its request for continued listing on the Exchange until October 14, 2024, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5505 (the “Initial Listing Rule”), as it would apply to the proposed Merger with Legacy NAYA. The Initial Listing Rule requires the Company to have a minimum bid price, a minimum of unrestricted publicly held shares, a minimum number of round lot shareholders, a minimum number of market makers, and it requires us to meet its Equity Standard, its Market Value of Listed Securities Standard, or its Net Income Standard.
On November 4, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq, dated October 30, 2024, informing the Company that it demonstrated compliance with the Equity Rule for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by the Panel’s decision dated June 18, 2024, as amended. The Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the notification.
NasdaqCompliance – Minimum Bid Price
On
September 18, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 34 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently 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 listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq.
| F-39 |
| --- |
In
accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time before May 17, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance prior to May 17, 2025, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, provided the Company (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.
The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the allotted compliance periods, the Company will receive a written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance during either compliance period, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

The Series C-1 Preferred may not be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred. Each share of Series C-1 Preferred shall automatically convert into the Company’s common stock if the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance, except that the Company may not effect such conversion if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Commencing on the ninety-first (91st) day after the first issuance of any Series C-1 Preferred, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends on the stated value at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price. Such dividends shall continue to accrue until paid. Such dividends will not be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall also be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion, on an as-if convertible basis, of any dividends payable on Common Stock.
The Series C-1 Preferred ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Series C-2 Preferred. Subject to the rights of the holders of any senior securities, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or sale of the Company, each holder of Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to the amount as would be paid on the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred, determined on an as-converted basis, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation.
Other than those rights provided by law, the Series C-1 Preferred has no voting rights. The Series C-1 Preferred is not redeemable.

SeriesC-2 Preferred Stock
On
October 14, 2024, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of Series C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-2 Certificate of Designation”) which sets forth the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series C-2 Preferred. Eight thousand five hundred seventy six (8,576) shares of Series C-2 Preferred with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share were authorized under the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation.
Each
share of Series C-2 Preferred has a stated value of $1,000.00, which, along with any additional amounts accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”) is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price equal to $0.6893 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series C-2 Preferred may not be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C-2 Preferred shall become convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder of such Series C-2 Preferred shares if the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred, except that the Company may not effect such conversion if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Commencing on the ninety-first (91st) day after the first issuance of any Series C-2 Preferred, the holders of Series C-2 Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends on the stated value at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, with each payment of a dividend payable in shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five (5) trading days before the applicable dividend date. Such dividends shall continue to accrue until paid. Such dividends will not be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred. The holders of Series C-2 Preferred shall also be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion, on an as-if convertible basis, of any dividends payable on Common Stock.
The Series C-2 Preferred ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and to the Series C-1 Preferred. Subject to the rights of the holders of any senior securities, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or sale of the Company, each holder of Series C-2 Preferred shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to the greater of (a) 125% of the Conversion Amount with respect to such shares, and (b) the amount as would be paid on the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred, determined on an as-converted basis, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation.
Other than those rights provided by law, the Series C-2 Preferred has no voting rights. The Series C-2 Preferred is only redeemable upon a “Bankruptcy Triggering Event” or a “Change of Control” that occurs 210 days after the closing date of the Merger.

October 14, 2024, the Company issued 190,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $190,000 as a result of a partial conversion of the FirstFire Note and accrued interest thereon. No gain or loss was recorded on conversion, as the issuance of common stock was pursuant to the terms of a prior agreement.

Item9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures
None.
Item9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 due solely to the events that led to the restatements of our audited financial statements for the periods ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2024. As a result, management determined a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting existed due to the accounting treatment of our right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases on our balance sheet. Management’s review was insufficient to identify an error in the incremental borrowing rate that led to our restatement of our financial statements, as described in Notes 2 and 3 to the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Management’sReport on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses related to (1) a limited segregation of duties due to our lack of formal control documentation, limited resources, and the small number of employees, and (2) a lack of adequate accounting resources to properly account for complex accounting transactions. Management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

| --- |
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC.
Limitationson Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
