PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
 
8,790,000 Share
 
Common Stock
 
 
This prospectus relates to shares of common stock of INVO Bioscience, Inc. that may be sold by AGS Capital Group, LLC (“AGS”), the selling shareholder identified in this prospectus. The shares of common stock offered under this prospectus by AGS are issuable to AGS pursuant to a Reserved Equity Financing Agreement (“REF”) between AGS and us dated October 28, 2009. We are registering the offer and sale of the shares to satisfy registration rights we have granted to AGS. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares by AGS.  This registration statement covers only a portion of the shares of common stock that may be issuable pursuant to the REF. We may file subsequent registration statements covering the resale of additional shares of 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. We will bear all costs associated with this registration statement.
 
AGS may sell the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how AGS may sell its shares of common stock in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” AGS is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the resale of our common stock under the REF.  AGS will pay us 92% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our notice to AGS of our election to sell shares to AGS pursuant to the REF.
 
Our shares of common stock are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol "IVOB.OB." On December 11, 2009, the closing sale price of our common stock was $0.33 per share.
 
This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase shares only if you can afford a complete loss. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5.
 
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
 
This summary highlights information described more fully elsewhere in this prospectus.  You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included herein. Investing our securities involves risks. Therefore, please carefully consider the information provided under the heading “Risk Factors” included herein.
 
The Company
 
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.
 
Through September 30, 2009, we have generated minimal 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, 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 now have the ability and necessary regulatory authority to distribute our product in the European Economic Area (i.e., the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most parts of the Middle East).  The Company has sold approximately 900 INVOcell units to date since we commenced sales in the late fall 2008.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 100 Cummings Center Suite 421e, Beverly, MA 01915, and our telephone number is (978) 878-9505.  The address of our website is www.INVOBioscience.com.  Information on our website is not part of this prospectus.
 
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.
 
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. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we have filed a registration statement, 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 resale shares of our common stock that we may issue 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 is a part (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 of our common stock to AGS up to an aggregate of $10 million. The purchase price 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 prior to the notice of Advance (the “Floor Price”).
 
The REF does not prohibit us 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 conditions and 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.
 
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:
 
·  
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.
 
 
·  
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 that we will be able to meet the foregoing conditions or any other conditions under the REF or that we will be able to draw down any portion of the amounts available under the REF.
 
The Registration Statement covers only 8,790,000 shares of common stock under the REF.  The entire share requirement for the full $10 million under the REF would be approximately 32,938,000 based on an assumed VWAP of $0.33 less the 8% discount.  However, we have decided 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 statements with the SEC covering those additional shares. 
 
The REF contains representations and warranties by us 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 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 represent 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% from the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the five trading days following our election to sell shares to AGS. The table below illustrates an issuance of shares of common stock to AGS under the REF for a hypothetical draw down amount of $50,000 at an assumed volume weighted average price of $0.33, which is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on December 11, 2009.

By comparison, if the volume weighted average price of our common stock was lower than $0.33, the number of shares that we would be required to issue in order to have the same draw down amount of $50,000 would be larger, as shown by the following table:

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.

We entered into the REF with the intention to grow our business, which in turn should increase our value. Because of the nature of the REF it appears unlikely that 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 connection with the REF.  Gilford will receive a cash commission equaling six percent (6%) of the total proceeds received by us from the sale of 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.
 
 
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 us to commit more resources to our marketing efforts, thereby increasing our cost structure and affecting our profitability.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively nor can there be assurance that additional competitors will not enter the market, or that such competition will not make it more difficult for us to enter into additional contracts with fertility clinics.
  
We need to manage growth in operations to maximize our potential growth.

In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand the scope of our services in the bioscience industry.  This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational and sales systems.  We expect 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 strategy may not be successful which may result in a negative impact on our growth, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

One of our strategies is 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.  Our inability to implement this internal growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact on our growth, future financial condition, results 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 measures may not be adequate to prevent or deter infringement or other misappropriation.  Moreover, we may not be able 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 entrants as well as the complexity 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.
 
 
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, 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 can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such insurance on commercially reasonable terms in the future or that 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 affect our reputation and business, regardless of the merit or eventual outcome of such claim.

There are inherent risks specific to the provision of infertility and ART services.  For example, the long-term effects on women of the administration of fertility medication, integral to most infertility and ART services, are of concern to certain physicians and others who fear 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 use would have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to maintain adequate quality standards for our products, our business may be adversely affected and our reputation harmed.
 
Our customers are expecting that our products will perform as we claim.  Our manufacturing companies and packaging processes will be relied up on heavily.  A failure to sustain the specified quality requirements 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 abilities of our executive officers, Kathleen Karloff and Claude Ranoux.  The loss of the services of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects.  We do not maintain key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.
 
Currency exchange fluctuations may affect the results of 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 thus will be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  Although we may in 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.  Because we do not anticipate that we will hedge against all 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.

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 conditions as a result of global developments, including the effects of global financial crisis, effects of terrorist acts and war on terrorism, U.S. and Canadian presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential conflict or crisis in North Korea or Middle East and current global credit crisis, negatively affecting infertile couples’ ability to pay for fertility treatment around the world.
 
 
International sales are expected to account for a significant part of our revenue especially in the ensuing period before we obtain FDA clearance, if ever.  We will experience additional risks associated 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.
 
Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, 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.  If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract 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 may 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.
 
 
Risks Related to the REF and our common stock

We are registering an aggregate of 8,790,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the REF. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
We are registering an aggregate of 8,790,000 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the REF. The sale of these shares into the public market by AGS could depress the market price of our common stock.  As of September 30, 2009, there were 55,247,833 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Assuming we are able to utilize the maximum amount available under the REF, existing shareholders could experience substantial dilution upon the issuance of common stock.
 
Our REF contemplates the potential future issuance and sale of up to $10 million of our common stock to AGS subject to certain conditions and limitations. The following table is an example of the number of shares that could be issued at various prices assuming we utilize the maximum amount available under the REF. These examples assume issuances at a market price of $0.33 per share and at 5%,10%, 25% and 50% below  the discounted $0.30 per share. The following table should be read in conjunction with the footnotes immediately following the table.

(4)
Percentage of the total outstanding shares of common stock after the issuance of the shares indicated, without considering any contractual restriction on the number of shares the selling shareholder may own at any point in time or other restrictions on the number of shares we may issue.
 
We may not have access to the full amount under the REF.

The REF provides that the dollar value that we will be permitted to raise from AGS (subject to the conditions and limitations described elsewhere in this prospectus) for each draw down will be 100% of the average daily volume on the OTC Bulletin Board for the five trading days prior to the notice of Advance, multiplied by the average of the five-day VWAP subsequent to the date of our election to sell shares to AGS.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the average market price of our common stock was $0.64 and the average trading volume per day was 127,000. There is no assurance that the market price and/or trading volume of our common stock will be maintained or will increase substantially in the near future.  Assuming we will maintain the market price of our common stock at $0.33, after the 8% discount we will need to issue 32,938,076 shares of common stock to AGS in order to have access to the full amount under the REF.
 
AGS will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.

The common stock to be issued to AGS pursuant to the REF will be purchased at an 8% discount to the VWAP of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our notice to AGS of our election to sell shares pursuant to the REF. 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 the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may put further downward pressure on our stock price.

Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our value; there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares now 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.  There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our 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 reflects the value of the business.  If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile.  Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities.  Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of 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 institutions 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.  For example, our controlling stockholders will be able to control the sale or other disposition of our operating businesses and subsidiaries to another entity.
 
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, 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, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.  In fact, 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. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors.  First, as noted above, the shares of our common stock are sporadically and/or 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 shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stock 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.

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.  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.  Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.  We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain its current market price, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
 
 
Shares eligible for future sale by our current shareholders may adversely affect our stock price.

To date, we have had a limited trading volume in our common stock.  As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number 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.  In addition, sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, under SEC Rule 144 or otherwise could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital at that time through the sale of our securities.  On December 11, 2009, approximately 39,500,000 shares of our common stock became subject to resale under Rule 144 as a result of 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 entered into the REF on October 28, 2009 with AGS. The perceived risk of dilution from sales of our common stock to or by AGS in connection with the REF may cause holders of our common stock to sell their shares, or it may encourage short selling by market participants, which could contribute to a decline in our stock price. The registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the REF requires that we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the registration statement in connection with the REF remains effective for the term 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 authorize the issuance of shares of our preferred stock 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 stock from time to time in one or more 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 at the present time, we continue to seek to raise capital through the sale of our securities and may issue shares of preferred stock in connection with a particular investment.  Any issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock.

Should we issue additional 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 quotations 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.
 
 
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus includes forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.
 
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties.  We have identified in this prospectus some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements.  There may be other factors not so identified.  You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.  As you read this prospectus, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results.  Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated events or circumstances.  New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

We expect to use the net proceeds, if any, from sales of our common stock to AGS under the REF for working capital needs, including paying accounts payable, notes payable, inventory, FDA medical device clinical trials, as well as accrued but unpaid salaries of our employees.  The amounts and timing of the expenditures will depend on numerous factors, such as the timing and progress of our clinical trial for FDA approval and the competitive environment. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of shares to AGS. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of proceeds.
 
 
 
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
 
Our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since February 17, 2009 under the symbol "IVOB".  Prior to that date, our common stock was traded under the symbol of “EMYS” in the public market on the OTC Bulletin Board as well.  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The quotations do not reflect adjustments for retail mark-ups, mark-downs, or commissions and may not necessarily reflect actual transactions.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in this prospectus under “Risk Factors,” actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
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.
 
Our primary focus is the sale of the INVOcell device and the INVO technology to assist infertile couples in having a baby.  Our patented and proven INVOcell technology is an effective low cost alternative to current treatments.  Along with being offered as an option in traditional IVF clinics, the INVO technique may be provided in a physician’s office or a small lab 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 (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 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 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.
 
We anticipate that we will experience significant quarterly fluctuations in our sales and revenues as a result of our efforts to expand the sales of the INVO technology to new markets.  Operating results will depend upon and upon the timing of signing of new distributor contracts and the training of physicians and their staffs in the INVO procedure.  International sales will continue to be our only source of revenue for the coming year.  We are aware 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 revenues from our products and services.  
 
During the last year, we continued to market our products in strategic markets utilizing our limited resources 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 further 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 regions of the Middle East and Africa.  This annual meeting is the largest infertility conference of physicians in Northern Africa and was felt to be an essential component in gaining name recognition and traction in this part of the world.
 
The INVOcell is cleared for use within a particular country by its CE mark, but still 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 tend to the needs of the regional health organizations for registering the INVOcell, INVO Bioscience has continued 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 anticipated for the quarter.  However, we are starting to receive registration notifications as well as receiving favorable initial local results that will be used for regional marketing campaigns.   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, if we do not raise additional capital in the near future we will have to curtail our spending 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 associated 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, although no assurances can be made that we will be able to draw down on the REF.  We also seek other sources of capital through private placements of our securities. The exact amount of funds raised, if any, will determine how aggressively we can grow and what additional projects we will be able to undertake, such as initiating the final required FDA clinical trial.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed.  If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will be required to substantially curtail or cease operations.
 
Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated April 15, 2009, filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that we have 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 support our business efforts.  These factors among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Results of Operations
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008
 
Net Sales and Revenues
 
Net sales and revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 were $56,300 compared to no revenue for the same period in 2008.  The increase was due to starting international shipments 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, 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 $680,000 compared to $375,000 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.  The increase in research and development expense was for a new product model.  We do not anticipate much spending in R&D in the next 6-12 months as we focus our resources on launching and training doctors on our current products.
 
Interest Income and Expense and Financing Fees
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we incurred significant non-cash financing liability expense 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 $24,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $5,900 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, subject 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, 2008 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 distributors 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 expect 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.  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 in 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, compared to $44,000 cash used by investing activities for the same period of 2008.  The cash used during 2008 was for 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.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $852,000 for the nine 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.
 
The remaining $245,000 of net cash provided by financing activities was from Lionshare Ventures, per a subscription receivable agreement dated December 5, 2008, and revised on June 10, 2009, for the previous sale of common stock to Lionshare Ventures.  As of September 30, 2009, $205,000 is still due to us from Lionshare Ventures.
 
We maintain a $50,000 working capital line of credit with Century Bank.  Interest is payable monthly at the rate of 0.24% above the bank’s prime lending rate.  As of September 30, 2009, the rate was 3.74%.  This line of credit matures on May 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $50,000.
 
Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated April 15, 2009, that we have generated negative cash outflows from operating activities, experienced recurring net operating losses, and are dependent on securing additional equity 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 sales of our securities, including in connection with the $10 million REF described elsewhere 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 grow 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 of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with 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 in 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 matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates 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 estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our 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.”  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 in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
 
Revenue Recognition — We 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.
 
 
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” 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 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.  We plan to adopt SFAS 167 effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material impact on our 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.
 
 
COMPANY OVERVIEW
 
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:
 
·  
Manufacturing:  All parts and processes have been validated.  Manufacturing of inventory is ongoing.  To date, we have 400 INVOcell devices ready for sale.  We have an additional 9,000 devices molded and ready for sterilization and packaging.
 
·  
CE Mark:  INVO Bioscience has obtained a CE Mark that will allow sales of INVO in Europe, Canada and many other countries, subject to local registration requirements.
 
·  
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.

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 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.

(1)
Kathleen Karloff was elected as the Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of the Board of Directors of the Company effective upon the resignation of Andrew Uribe in connection with the Share Exchange between INVO Bioscience and Emys on December 5, 2008.  During 2007, Ms. Karloff received shares of common stock valued at $.2857/share.
(2)
2009 salary includes both paid and accrued salary for all officers.
(3)
Claude Ranoux was elected as the President, Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors effective upon the resignation of Andrew Uribe, in connection with the Share Exchange between INVO Bioscience and Emys on December 5, 2008.  During 2007, Dr. Ranoux received shares of common stock valued at $.2857/share.
 
Stock Option Grants
 
Since January 1, 2008, we have signed agreements to compensate certain officers, employees and service providers with common stock or options to acquire common stock.  As of December 31, 2008, a total of 857,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 440,000 shares of common stock were agreed to be issued.  As of September 30, 2009, we have issued the 857,000 shares of common stock against its previously recorded accrued liability.  However, as of September 30, 2009, we terminated 70,000 of 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.
 
 
Employment Agreements; Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements
 
Kathleen T. Karloff, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of the Board of Directors, has executed an employment agreement with INVO Bioscience effective as of February 1, 2008.  The agreement provides for an annual salary of $175,000 and health and life insurance and retirement plan along with the reimbursement of expenses.  In the event that Ms. Karloff’s employment is terminated other than for good cause (as defined in the employment agreement), she will receive her salary and full medical benefits for twelve (12) months thereafter.  
 
Dr. Claude Ranoux, President, Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors, has executed an employment agreement with INVO Bioscience effective as of February 1, 2008.  The agreement provides for an annual salary of $175,000 and health and life insurance and retirement plan along with the reimbursement of expenses.  In the event that Dr. Ranoux’s employment is terminated other than for good cause (as defined in the employment agreement), he will receive his salary and full medical benefits for twelve (12) months thereafter.  
 
Robert J. Bowdring, Chief Financial Officer, has executed an employment agreement with INVO Bioscience effective as of October 27, 2008.  The agreement provides for an annual salary of $150,000 and health and life insurance and retirement plan along with the reimbursement of expenses.  In the event that Mr. Bowdring’s employment is terminated other than for cause (as defined in the employment agreement), he will receive a severance package of two months of salary and full medical benefits per service year
 
Outstanding Equity Awards
 
The Company has not yet adopted a formal stock option plan.  Accordingly, there are no outstanding equity awards as of September 30, 2009.
 
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 

On September 18, 2008, we entered into a related party transaction with Dr. Claude Ranoux, the President, Director and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company.  Dr. Ranoux had loaned funds to the Company to sustain its operations since January 5, 2007 (inception).  Dr. Ranoux’s total cumulative loans at September 30, 2009 were $70,462.  On March 26, 2009, the Company and Dr. Ranoux agreed to amend the agreement to a non-convertible note payable bearing interest at 5% per annum and extended the repayment date to March 31, 2010.  The Company and Dr. Ranoux can jointly decide to repay the loan earlier without prepayment penalties.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, $26,000 was repaid on the principal of the loan.
 
On March 5, 2009, we entered into a related party transaction with Kathleen Karloff, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.  Ms. Karloff provided a short-term loan in the amount of $75,000 bearing interest at 5% per annum to the Company to fund operations.  In May 2009, Ms. Karloff loaned to the Company an additional $13,000, making her total cumulative loan $88,000 as of September 30, 2009.  This note was due on September 15, 2009, which has since been extended to March 4, 2010.

For the purposes hereof, we assumed the issuance of the 8,790,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the REF, but no additional shares of common stock potentially issuable pursuant to the REF. We will file subsequent registration statements covering the resale of any additional shares of common stock beginning approximately 60 days after we have substantially completed the sale to AGS under the REF of the shares subject to this registration statement. Allen Silberstein has voting and investment control of the securities held by AGS.
 
 
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. As of December 11, 2009, there were 58,002,763 shares of our common stock outstanding that were held of record by approximately 98 stockholders, and options and warrants to purchase 9,100,000 shares of common stock were outstanding.
 
The following description is only a summary. You should also refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, both of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.  
 
Common Stock

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, and each holder does not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they so choose.
 
 
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
 
Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock offered by us in this offering, when issued and paid for, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate in the future.
 
Preferred Stock

The board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without stockholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of INVO Bioscience. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
 
Registration Rights

Registration rights with respect to shares covered by this registration statement and prospectus –shares sold in connection with the Reserve Equity Financing Agreement, or REF, with AGS Capital Group, LLC. In connection with establishing the REF with AGS, we entered into a registration rights agreement with AGS. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we filed a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause this registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The effectiveness of this registration statement is a condition precedent to our ability to sell the shares of common stock subject to this registration statement to AGS under the REF. This registration statement covers only a portion of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF. We will file subsequent registration statements covering the resale of additional shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the REF beginning approximately 60 days after we have substantially completed the sale to AGS under the REF of the shares subject to this registration statement. These subsequent registration statements are subject to our ability to prepare and file them, and may be subject to review and comment by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as consent by our independent registered accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements cannot be assured. The effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements is a condition precedent to our ability to sell the shares of common stock subject to these subsequent registration statements to AGS under the REF.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
We have engaged the services of Island Stock Transfer as our transfer agent and registrar.
 
 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering 8,790,900 shares of common stock under this prospectus on behalf of AGS. Except as described below, to our knowledge, the selling stockholder has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any particular broker or market maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor, except as described below, do we know the identity of any brokers or market makers that may participate in the sale of the shares.
 
The selling stockholder may decide not to sell any shares. The selling stockholder may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of common stock through brokers, dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. AGS is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the shares of common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. AGS has advised us that it may effect resales of our common stock through any one or more registered broker-dealers. Because the selling stockholder is deemed to be an underwriter, the selling stockholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
 
 
The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made, on the over-the-counter market, otherwise or in a combination of such methods of sale, at then prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of common stock may be sold according to one or more of the following methods:
 
 
 
a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
 
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
 
 
an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the FINRA rules;
 
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
 
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
 
a combination of such methods of sale; and
 
 
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholder may transfer the shares by other means not described in this prospectus.
 
Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from AGS (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). Broker-dealers may agree with AGS to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for AGS, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to AGS. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above) on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on the over-the-counter market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this prospectus, or a supplemental prospectus will be filed, disclosing:
 
 
 
the name of any such broker-dealers;
 
 
 
the number of shares involved;
 
 
 
the price at which such shares are to be sold;
 
 
 
the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable;
 
 
 
that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as supplemented; and
 
 
 
other facts material to the transaction.
 
 
 
Underwriters and purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. AGS and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of, purchases by the selling stockholder or other persons or entities. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to special exceptions or exemptions. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making and certain other activities with respect to those securities. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
 
We have agreed to pay the expenses of registering the shares of common stock under the Securities Act, including registration and filing fees, printing expenses, administrative expenses and certain legal and accounting fees. The selling stockholder will bear all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, as well as transfer taxes and certain other expenses associated with the sale of securities.
 
Under the terms of the AGS common stock purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute toward amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.
 
At any time a particular offer of the shares of common stock is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment will be filed with the SEC, to reflect the disclosure of required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock. We may suspend the sale of shares by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Shulman, Rogers, Gandal Pordy & Ecker, P.A..
 
EXPERTS
 
The financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, have been audited by Webb & Company, P.A. and RBSM, LLP respectively, independent registered public accounting firms, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report, which contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration statement, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firms as experts in auditing and accounting.

You should rely only on the information provided in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone else to provide you with different information.  We are not making an offer to sell, nor soliciting an offer to buy, these securities in any jurisdiction where that would not be permitted or legal.  Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any sales made hereunder after the date of this prospectus shall create an implication that the information contained herein or our affairs have not changed since the date hereof.

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 shares 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 sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited financial statements for the year then ended.
 
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows have been included 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 year 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 statements 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 estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results 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 compared 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 significance 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.  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.
 
The Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through stockholder loans and contributions to the Company and issuance of our common stock and convertible notes in private placements. The Company expects to raise additional funding to continue its operations through additional loans and issuances of additional shares of common stock and other securities.

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 8.  NOTE PAYABLE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
On September 18, 2008, the Company entered into a related party transaction with Dr. Claude Ranoux, the President, Director and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company.  Dr. Ranoux had loaned funds to the Company to sustain its operations since January 5, 2007 (inception).  Dr. Ranoux’s total cumulative loans at September 30, 2009 were $70,462.  On March 26, 2009, the Company and Dr. Ranoux agreed to amend the agreement to a non-convertible note payable bearing interest at 5% per annum and extended the repayment date to March 31, 2010.  The Company and Dr. Ranoux can jointly decide to repay the loan earlier without prepayment penalties.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, $26,000 was repaid on the principal of the loan.
 
On March 5, 2009, the Company entered into a related party transaction with Kathleen Karloff, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.  Ms. Karloff provided a short-term loan in the amount of $75,000 bearing interest at 5% per annum to the Company to fund operations.  In May 2009, Ms. Karloff loaned to the Company an additional $13,000, making her total cumulative loan $88,000 as of September 30, 2009.  This note was due on September 15, 2009, which has since been extended to March 4, 2010.

NOTE 9.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Common Stock
 
For the period from January 5, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007, Bio X Cell, Inc., formerly a Commonwealth of Massachusetts corporation doing business as INVO Bioscience before the merger with Emy’s, issued 70,000 shares of common stock for $20,000, at $.2857/share.  The 70,000 shares were retroactively restated to 24,991,379 shares following the stock split on November 12, 2008 and the subsequent share exchange on December 5, 2008.
 
 On December 29, 2008, the Company filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada.  The Company’s authorized capital stock was changed from 75,000,000 shares, all of which were shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, to authorized common stock of 200,000,000 shares, par value $.0001, and 100,000,000 newly created shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.0001.
 
 On November 7, 2008, Emy’s Board of Directors approved a 5-1 forward stock split (the “Forward Split”) of common stock with a record date of November 10, 2008 for the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.  The Forward Split was effective on November 12, 2008.  Emy’s had 12,387,500 shares of common stock outstanding before the Forward Split and 61,937,500 shares outstanding thereafter.
 
 The Company had 61,937,500 shares issued and outstanding immediately before the Share Exchange.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, certain shareholders of Emy’s agreed to cancel 47,000,000 shares of Emy’s common stock and Emys agreed to issue 38,307,500 newly-issued shares of common stock to INVO Bioscience shareholders.  As of December 5, 2008, and immediately after Closing, an aggregate of 53,245,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, including shares issued pursuant to the Closing.
 
Directly following the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement transaction, on the day of the Closing, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with investors pursuant to which, the investors contributed $375,000 in exchange for 375,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.  The investors have piggyback registration rights that permit them to register their common stock on any registration statement filed by the Company, as well as anti-dilution protection per section 7.5.
 
As of the Closing, Lionshare Ventures, Inc.(LSV), a shareholder in INVO Bioscience  and  the Company executed a pledge agreement between the two parties reaffirming LSV‘s original agreement dated May 18, 2008, the outstanding balance as of the original agreement was $450,000 for shares of common stock previously issued but not paid for noted in the Company’s financial statements as a subscription receivable in its equity section of the balance sheet.  On June 10, 2009, the two parties executed an extension of the time in which the balance outstanding of $205,000 was to be paid, the date is now December 5, 2009, 775,000 shares of common stock are being held in escrow until the balance is paid.
 
In the same pledge agreement between the Company and LSV dated December 5, 2008, LSV committed to forfeiting a maximum of 562,500 common stock shares if the Company is required to issue additional shares of common stock per the anti-dilution clause (section 7.5) of the Securities Purchase Agreement mentioned previously.

 Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2009 was $23,800.  Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $0.34 as of September 30, 2009, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.  As of September 30, 2009, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $105,000.  During the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not charge to operations the related expense to recognized stock-based compensation for the above stock options.
 
 Warrants
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,750,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Bridge Notes (see note 7) agreement. The warrants have an exercise price, of $0.20 per share.  The warrants are exercisable any time after the issue date, and have a term ranging from 3 to 5 years from the date of issuance.  These warrants were valued using the guidance of ASC 470-20-30 (formerly referred to as EITF 00-27), via the Black-Scholes valuation method resulting in a value of $1,614,948 and were recorded as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet (see note 10).
 
The following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding and the related prices for the shares of the Company's common stock issued to non-employees of the Company. These warrants were granted in lieu of cash compensation for services performed or financing expenses and in connection with placement of convertible debentures.

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:

 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 volatility
   
309-275
%
Expected life (years)
   
3-5
 
Risk free interest rate
   
0.18-0.26
%
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.

NOTE 13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
 Management has reviewed and evaluated material subsequent events from the balance sheet date of September 30, 2009 through the financial statements issue date of November 16, 2009. All appropriate subsequent event disclosures, if any, have been made in notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 On October 28, 2009, the Company entered into a Reserve Equity Financing Agreement (“REF”) with AGS Capital Group, LLC (“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 up to $10,000,000, subject to certain conditions and limitations.  In connection with the REF, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with AGS, dated October 28, 2009.
 
The following is a summary of the REF and the registration rights agreement, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, each of which are incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q from the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2009. Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of 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 of our common stock to AGS. The purchase price 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 prior 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:
 
 ·  
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.

  ·  
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.

Beverly, MA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of INVO Bioscience, Inc. (“the Company”) ,  a development stage company, as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of losses,  stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period January 5, 2007 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based upon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invo Bioscience, Inc. a development stage company, at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period January 5, 2007 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2, the Company has a generated negative cash outflows from operating activities, experienced recurring net operating losses, and is dependent on securing additional equity and debt financing to support its business efforts.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regards to this matter are described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period January 5, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of BioXcell, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period January 5, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss of $214,089, stockholders’ deficiency of $100,926, and cash used in operations of $116,041 for the period from January 5, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INVO BIOSCIENCE, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of DECEMBER 31, 2008 and DECEMBER 31, 2007
 
NOTE 1
SUMMARY 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.
 
 
INVO BIOSCIENCE, INC.
(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.

(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.

(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.

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 2
GOING 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  9
INCOME 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.

Consulting agreements
 
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.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. Additionally, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and Directors, and therefore purchasers of these securities may have a more limited right of action than they would have except for this limitation in the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. These agreements provide, in general, that we shall indemnify and hold harmless such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with, or in any way arising out of, any claim, action or proceeding against, or affecting, such directors and officers resulting from, relating to or in any way arising out of, the service of such persons as our directors and officers.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

We have sold certain shares of common stock for cash and have issued shares of common stock in exchange for services.  For the following issuances of our securities, we claimed the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder, as private transactions not involving a public distribution.  The facts we relied upon to claim the exemption include: (i) the purchasers represented that they purchased shares from the Company for investment and not with a view to distribution to the public; (ii) each certificate issued for unregistered securities contains a legend stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on the transferability and the sale of the securities; (iii) the purchasers as well as most of those who received shares for services represented that they were accredited investors and sophisticated and all were familiar with our business activities; and (iv) the purchasers and service providers were given full and complete access to any corporate information requested by them.

On December 5, 2008, Bio X Cell, Inc., a Commonwealth of Massachusetts corporation doing business as INVO Bioscience (hereinafter “INVO Bioscience”), and each of the  8 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 the Company, which was then known as 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, we issued to the INVO Bioscience Shareholders an aggregate of 38,307,500 shares of Emy’s common stock (the “common stock”), $0.0001 par value per share, 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.

Immediately following the Closing of the Share Exchange, we 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.  
 
In March 2009, we issued an aggregate of 83,333 shares of common stock Wakabayashi Fund, LLC for investor relations services in the Asian markets totaling $37,500.
 
In May 2009, we issued an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock for U.S. based investor relations and fund raising services rendered to Investor Awareness, Inc and Red Chip Securities for a combined value totaling $15,500.
 
 
During the period July 15, 2009 to September 15, 2009, we issued convertible notes payable (“Bridge Notes”) to accredited 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 our common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustments. In addition to the Bridge Notes, we issued warrants to purchase 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share.

In September 2009, we issued an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of common stock to GRQ Consulting and Whalehaven (described above) in connection with the execution of a $100,000 convertible note as part of a bridge offering.  The Bridge Notes transaction triggered the anti-dilution clause of the Securities Purchase Agreement executed on December 5, 2008 with the investors.  

In September 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 857,000 shares of common stock for a number of different services which rendered a total of $299,950. The services included investor relations from College Stock LLC which received the majority of these shares (500,000), 140,000 shares were issued to two former employees per their employment agreement, the balance of the shares were distributed to 7 other individuals for engineering and manufacturing support (25,000 shares), sales consulting (102,000 shares), legal guidance (50,000 shares) and technical assistance (40,000 shares),

In October, 2009, we entered into the REF with AGS Capital Group, LLC 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 up to $10,000,000, subject to certain conditions and limitations.  In connection with the REF, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with AGS, dated October 28, 2009.  The terms of the REF are described elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

In November 2009, we issued an aggregate of 612,000 shares of common stock of which 600,000 were issued to Gilford Securities for the REF and 12,000 for accounting & reporting services rendered for a value totaling $312,120.

In November 2009, we issued an aggregate of 2,100,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $210,000 of the Bridge Notes described above.

In November 2009, we issued an aggregate of 42,930 shares of common stock for the interest related to conversion of $210,000 of Convertible Notes Payable into common stock at a price of $0.10 per common share.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(i) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:
 
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance under Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
