Rhea-AI Filing Summary

INVO Fertility, Inc. notifies the SEC of a late Form 10-Q filing for the period ended March 31, 2026. The company says the Form 10-Q cannot be filed without unreasonable effort because its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 is not yet complete following a change in its independent registered public accounting firm. Management states the new audit firm requires additional time to complete audit procedures and review complex technical accounting matters; the company is working to complete both filings as promptly as practicable.

Rule 12b-25 regulatory
"The registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25 (b)"
Rule 12b-25 is an SEC filing provision that lets a company notify regulators and the public that it cannot file a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual report) on time and explains the reason for the delay. For investors, the notice is a formal heads-up that financial information will arrive late—similar to a company calling to say it will be late turning in homework—so it signals increased uncertainty and may affect trading and risk assessments until the filing is available.
Form 10-Q financial
"Unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2026"
A Form 10-Q is a detailed report that publicly traded companies are required to file with regulators three times a year, providing an update on their financial health and business activities. It is important for investors because it offers timely insights into a company's performance, helping them make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Think of it as a regular check-up report that shows how well a company is doing.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Delay...primarily related to a recent change in the registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.

PART II

RULE 12b-25 (b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25 (b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

 

  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
  (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III

NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2026 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The delay is primarily attributable to the registrant’s inability to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is necessary to finalize the financial information required for inclusion in the Form 10-Q.

 

The delay in filing the Annual Report is primarily related to a recent change in the registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm and the additional time required for the new audit firm to complete its audit procedures, including its review of certain complex technical accounting matters.

 

As a result, the registrant has not yet completed the financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q. At this time, the registrant is continuing to work to complete both filings as promptly as practicable.

FAQ

Why did INVO Fertility (IVF) file a Form 12b-25 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026?
