Q&A highlights

Q: John Heerdink asked about the market potential, revenue opportunity, and clinic revenue components.

A: Steven Shum and Michael Campbell discussed that the market has a large under - served patient population with potential for significant growth. The IVF market in the U.S. has an existing revenue of around $5 billion, and there is potential for expansion. Clinics have various revenue components beyond just treatment cycles, including diagnostics and other services like IUI cycles.

Q: Lawrence Fidel asked about international clinics, accounting for clinics, and the five - day trial.

A: Steven Shum mentioned that the India partner deal was terminated due to COVID - 19 and delays. Andrea Goren explained the accounting methods for clinics, with some being consolidated and others using the equity method. Steven Shum stated that the five - day trial has been a lengthy process due to data collection and scrubbing to meet FDA requirements, but is nearing completion for submission.

Q: Scott Proctor asked about revenue opportunity on device sales and clinic performance.

A: Steven Shum said device transfer pricing varies by center but is slightly better than non - INVO center pricing. He noted that Birmingham's performance is in line, while Atlanta and Mexico are a couple of months behind initially due to learning and slower marketing implementation, but align with the plan when month - by - month is adjusted.
