  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining leading position within the cardiovascular sector of the cell technology industry delivering cell therapies, intelligent devices and biologics that help address congestive heart failure, lower limb ischemia, chronic heart ischemia, acute myocardial infarctions and other issues. We work to prevent the worsening of heart failure conditions with devices that monitor and diagnose. Our goals are to cause damaged tissue to be regenerated, if possible, and to improve a patient’s quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations.

Specific to biotechnology, we are focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage and peripheral vascular disease. MyoCell is a clinical muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patient’s heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients.

The Company’s pipeline includes multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose tissue-derived cell treatment for acute heart damage, and MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells that are genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic growth proteins.

The Company was incorporated in Florida on August 12, 1999.

Development Stage

The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, research and development of products noted above, and developing markets for its products. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Prior to marketing its products in the United States, the Company’s products must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter problems in clinical trials that will cause the Company or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials. The Company’s success will depend in part on its ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain necessary regulatory approvals, obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company. The Company will require substantial future capital in order to meet its objectives. The Company currently has no committed sources of capital. The Company will need to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, and financing may not be available when the Company needs it or may not be available on acceptable terms.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures

7




normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of September 30, 2010, the results of its operations for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included the accounts of Bioheart, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

8



Level 1

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values.

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

The Company has no fair value items required to be disclosed.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished product. Finished product consists primarily of finished catheters. Cost of finished product, consisting of raw materials and contract manufacturing costs, is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for valuing inventories. Costs of raw materials are determined using the FIFO method. Inventory is stated at the lower of costs or market (estimated net realizable value).

Inventory consisted of the following as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

        September 30,
    December 31,
        2010
    2009

              $ 20,796          $ 143,160   
Raw materials
                 56,754             56,754   
Total inventory
              $ 77,550          $ 199,914   
 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of September 30, 2010 consisted principally of prepaid insurance.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs consist principally of legal and loan origination fees incurred to obtain $10 million in loans in June 2007 and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans. These deferred loan costs

9




are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had net deferred loan costs of $1,142,313 and $1,250,106, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $986,006 and $597,781, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which included $529,145 and $448,888, respectively, related to the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans.

Stock Options and Warrants

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, requires the Company to measure all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service period of each award.

Share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 are valued using the fair value method and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company also began recognizing compensation expense under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted under its stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to vest.

The Company accounts for certain share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including ASC Topic 505, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. The Company estimates the fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting period and expenses the fair value over the vesting period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are provided.

In its meeting of August 17, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the repricing of current employees’ stock options (other than Executive Officers). In accordance with regulations concerning such a repricing and in conformance with generally accepted procedures, all options granted before August 12, 2008, were repriced on the basis of the 5-day average closing price of BHRT, during the period of August 11 through August 17, 2009.

The following information applies to the repricing which occurred as of October 8, 2009.

On February 24, 2010, by way of a written consent, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Directors and Consultants 1999 Stock Option Plan to extend the termination date of the Plan to December 1, 2011.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, formerly SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The effect of outstanding stock options and warrants, which could result in the issuance of 2,299,313 and 9,946,944 shares of common stock at September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively, is antidilutive. As a result, diluted loss per share data does not include the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and has been presented jointly with basic loss per share.

Recent Accounting Updates

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.

On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) 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. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide further guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. It primarily does three things: 1) sets forth the types of valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, 2) clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability, and 3) clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market, when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required, are Level 1 fair value measurements. This standard became effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of GAAP to be applied to nongovernmental agencies. ASC 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented hereby.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). The pronouncement modifies the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event—those events or

11




transactions that occur following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued—and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 in the third quarter of 2009, in accordance with the effective date.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-6”), which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. ASU 2010-6 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures, which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 financial statements

2.
  Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several years and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $104.9 million as of September 30, 2010 In addition, as of September 30, 2010, the Company’s current liabilities exceed current assets by $11.8 million. Current liabilities include notes payable of $5.6 million. While, subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $26,000 in a series of private placements, this will not provide sufficient cash to support the Company’s operations through December 2010. The Company will need to secure additional sources of capital by the end of November 2010 to develop its business and product candidates as planned, and continue as a going concern.

The Company currently has no commitments or arrangements from third parties for any additional financing to fund research and development and/or other operations, except for its REGEN trial, discussed below. That trial is being funded by the Ascent Medical Technology Fund II, LP, and the Ascent Medical Product Development Centre Inc., which as of September 30, 2010 was controlled by a current director and a former director of the Company. The director has since resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Ascent Medical Technology Fund II, LP is funding, on a project basis, some of the activities of the Company’s Centers of Excellence, discussed below. The Company is seeking substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings, research grants, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. As part of such efforts, the Company may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or current shareholders. However, financing may not be available to the Company or on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company’s inability to obtain additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and ability to continue operations. Accordingly, the Company could be forced to significantly curtail or suspend

12




operations, default on its debt obligations, file for bankruptcy or seek to sell some or all of its assets. As such, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is uncertain.

Due to the Company’s financial condition, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3.
  Collaborative License and Research/Development Agreements

The Company has entered into a number of contractual relationships for technology licenses and research and development projects. The following provides a summary of the Company’s significant contractual relationships:

In February 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Original License Agreement”) with Cell Transplants International, LLC (“CTI”). Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted the Company a license to certain patents related to heart muscle regeneration and angiogenesis for the life of the patents. In July 2000, the Company and CTI, together with Dr. Peter K. Law, executed an addendum to the Original License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of terms of the Original License Agreement (the “License Addendum”).

More specifically, the License Addendum provided, among other things:

•  
  The parties agreed that the Company would issue, and the Company did issue, to CTI a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, issuing to CTI or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. These share amounts and exercise prices do not take into account any subsequent recapitalizations or reverse stock splits.

•  
  The parties agreed that the Company’s obligation to pay CTI a $3.0 million milestone payment would be triggered upon the Company’s commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States, instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, upon initiation of an FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology in the United States.

In addition, if the Company obtains FDA approval of a method of heart muscle regeneration utilizing the patented technology licensed under the Original License Agreement, the Company will be required to pay CTI $5 million. Further, the Company would be obligated to pay CTI a royalty of 5% of gross sales of products and services that directly read upon the claims of the licensed patents. During the course of certain litigation initiated by Dr. Law against the Company, see Note 8, the Company learned that CTI, a Tennessee limited liability company, was administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State of Tennessee in 2004.

In February 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation for various pending patents to be used in connection with the MyoCell SDF-1 product candidate. Our MyoCell SDF-1 product candidate, which has recently completed preclinical testing, is intended to be an improvement to MyoCell. Dr. Marc Penn, the Medical Director of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at the Cleveland Clinic and a staff cardiologist in the Departments of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cell Biology, joined our Scientific Advisory Board. The license for SDF-1 was passed on to a Cleveland Clinic affiliate,

13




Juventas, in July of 2009. Bioheart entered into a memorandum of understanding with Juventas pursuant to which the license with Bioheart would be reinstated upon completion by Bioheart of certain financial milestones by February, 2010. In October of 2009, Cleveland Clinic’s patent applications were denied by the United States Patent Office. Although Cleveland Clinic filed an appeal, Bioheart allowed the memorandum of understanding with Juventas to lapse, believing that the current climate concerning the patenting of genetic properties would not permit the patents to be issued, even in a revised form.

In April 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to license from TriCardia, LLC various patents to be used in connection with the MyoCath® II product candidate. In exchange for the license, the Company agreed to do the following: 1) pay $100,000 upon the closing of the agreement; and 2) issue a warrant exercisable for 32,515 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant vested on a straight line basis over a 12 month period and expires on February 28, 2016. The fair value of this warrant of approximately $193,000, as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, was amortized to research and development expense on a straight line basis over the twelve month vesting period. The Company recorded $144,867 of expense in 2006 and the remaining $48,289 of expense in 2007.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Tissue Genesis, Inc. (“Tissue Genesis”) for exclusive distribution rights to Tissue Genesis’ products and a license for various patents to be used in connection with the Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy and TGI 1200TM product candidates. In exchange for the license, the Company agreed to do the following: 1) issue 13,006 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $7.69 per share; and 2) issue a warrant exercisable for 1,544,450 shares of the Company’s common stock to Tissue Genesis at an exercise price of $7.69 per share, which warrant expires on December 31, 2026. This warrant shall vest in three parts as follows: i) 617,780 shares vesting only upon the Company’s successful completion of human safety testing of the licensed technology, ii) 463,335 shares vesting only upon the Company exceeding net sales of $10 million or net profit of $2 million from the licensed technology, and iii) 463,335 shares vesting only upon the Company exceeding net sales of $100 million or net profit of $20 million from the licensed technology. Since the vesting of this warrant is contingent upon the achievement of the specific milestones, the fair value of this warrant at the time the milestones are met will be expensed to research and development. In the event of an acquisition (or merger) of the Company by a third party, all unvested shares of common stock subject to the warrant shall immediately vest prior to such event. In addition, the Company will pay a 2% royalty of net sales of licensed products. On October 26, 2010 the Company received a written notice of termination of Customer Agreement and Distribution Agreement. See, Subsequent Events, in Note 12, Other Information, Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

On April 13, 2007 Bioheart signed a Research Agreement with Indiana University to sponsor pre-IND large animal research related to the use of adipose tissue derived stem cells for use in treating acute myocardial infarction. The data from research will be used to file an IND related to this product platform. The total budget for this study is $726,584.06, of which $506,719 has been spent to date.

Bioheart originally entered into a Research Agreement with the University of Florida on July 1, 2004. The original purpose of this Research Agreement was to conduct small animal research related to Bioheart’s SDF-1 gene modified cell therapy. The research continued into large animals and the contract has been amended six times. The most recent budget amendment was to sponsor an additional $305,855 for large animal research which was signed on November 18, 2008, of which $209,799 has been spent to date.

There are currently 11 executed clinical site contracts and one open Academic Research Organization contract (ARO) associated with the ongoing Marvel Clinical Trial. Clinical site contracts include Minneapolis Heart Institute, Scripps Hospital, Florida Hospital, Jim Moran Heart Institute, Mayo Clinic, The Lindner Center, Swedish Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel, Arizona Heart Institute, Cardiology P. C. and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. Bioheart is obligated for payments in the aggregate amount of $375,773 for clinical site contracts. Bioheart also entered into a contract in support of the Marvel trial with Duke Clinical Research

14




Institute, an Academic Research Organization (ARO) on March 9, 2007. The total obligation for this contract is $469,844, of which $464,844 has been spent to date. In addition, there are various consultants and core laboratories which provide support for Marvel. Bioheart’s total commitment towards contracts for all consultants and Core Laboratories is $301,651.

On February 2, 2010, Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Ascent Medical Product Development Centre Inc. (“Ascent”) entered into an agreement whereby Ascent would oversee the conduct of a Phase I Clinical Trial for the Company, namely the REGEN trial. Ascent is owned by the Ascent Medical Technology Fund II, LP, (the “Fund”), which will provide funding for the study. The Fund’s General Partner is Ascent Private Equity II, LLC, which is controlled by Karl E. Groth, Ph.D., whom as of September 30, 2010 was a current director of the Company and Peggy A. Farley, a former director of the Company. Dr. Groth has since resigned as a director of the Company.

On March 23, 2010, the Company announced plans for establishing five Centers of Excellence in Latin America to provide its cell therapy procedures to patients suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Bioheart entered into its first agreement with a leading treatment facilitator, Regenerative Medicine Institute of Tijuana, Mexico. Therapies for CHF and PAD patients will be made available at the Hospital Angeles Tijuana, a fully equipped state-of-the-art private specialties hospital. This is the first of five Centers of Excellence with four additional Centers to be announced.

Bank of America Note Payable

On June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for an eight month, $5.0 million term loan, to be used for working capital purposes. The loan bears interest at the annual rate of the prime rate plus 1.5%. The prime rate was 3.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As consideration for the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $100,000. Effective as of January 31, 2008, the maturity date of the loan was extended until June 1, 2008. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $50,000. Effective as of June 1, 2008, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until January 5, 2009. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $75,000. Effective January 5, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until July 6, 2009. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $50,000. Effective July 6, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity of the loan until January 5, 2010. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $25,000. Effective January 5, 2010, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity of the loan until July 6, 2010. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company agreed to pay Bank of America a fee of $30,000. Under the terms of the loan, Bank of America is entitled to receive a semi-annual payment of interest and all outstanding principal and accrued interest by the maturity date.

The Company has provided no collateral for the loan. On June 1, 2007, for the Company’s benefit, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse, certain other members of the Company’s Board of Directors and one of the Company’s shareholders (the “Guarantors”) provided collateral to guarantee the loan. Except for a $1.1 million personal guaranty (backed by collateral) provided by the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse, these guarantees are limited to the collateral each provided to the lender.

In June 2007, the Company and Bank of America have agreed with BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P., the lender of the BlueCrest Loan (defined below), that the Company will not individually make any payments due under the Bank of America loan while the BlueCrest Loan is outstanding. For the Company’s benefit, the Guarantors agreed to provide Bank of America in the aggregate up to $5.5 million of funds and/or securities to make these payments.

In June 2007, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Guarantors with interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0% for any and all payments made by them under the Bank of America loan as well as to pay them certain cash fees in connection with their provision of collateral to guarantee the loan. Upon entering into the loan agreement, the Company issued to each Guarantor warrants to purchase 3,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share for each $100,000 of principal amount of the loan guaranteed by such Guarantor. The warrants have a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrants were issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 216,095 shares of common stock were issued to the Guarantors. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of $1,437,638, which amount was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method. As discussed below, certain of these Guarantors were replaced in September 2007. The unamortized fair value of the warrants issued to the Guarantors that were replaced, which was previously reflected as a component of deferred loan costs, was recorded as interest expense in September 2007.

In September 2007, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and two of the Company’s shareholders agreed to provide collateral valued at $750,000, $600,000 and $500,000, respectively, to secure the loan. The collateral provided by these new Guarantors fully replaced the collateral originally provided by one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and partially replaced the collateral originally provided by another member of the Company’s Board of Directors whose collateral now secures $400,000 of the loan. In consideration for providing the collateral, the Company issued to the new Guarantors warrants to purchase 3,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share for each $100,000 of principal amount of the loan guaranteed by such new Guarantor. The warrants have a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrants were issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,118 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the new Guarantors. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of $380,482, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on September 30, 2007 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 38,861 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $244,463. The portion of this amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense with the remainder accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

In October 2007, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse agreed to provide an additional $2.2 million limited personal guarantee of the loan and pledged securities accounts to backup this limited personal guarantee. The additional collateral provided by the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse fully replaced the collateral provided by one of the original Guarantors. The Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse by then had personally guaranteed an aggregate of $3.3 million of the loan. The Company’s agreement with the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse with respect to the additional collateral is substantially similar to the Company’s agreement with them in connection with the $1.1 million personal guarantee they originally provided in June 2007. In consideration for providing the collateral, the Company issued to the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse, a warrant to purchase 81,547 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant has a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued. The warrant had a fair value of $516,193, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

As a result of this replacement of the collateral originally provided by one of the original Guarantors in October 2007, the unamortized fair value of the warrant to purchase 81,548 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share issued to that Guarantor was recorded as interest expense in October 2007. In October 2007, the Company cancelled the warrant previously issued to such original Guarantor, which warrant included the adjustment provisions discussed above, and, in exchange, issued to them a warrant to purchase 101,934 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share, which new warrant does not contain the adjustment provisions discussed above. The additional 20,386 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $128,228, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on June 1, 2008 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 78,773 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $168,387. The portion of this amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense with the remainder accounted for as

17




additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on June 1, 2009 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date and the Company had not reimbursed the Guarantors in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan. The additional 131,281 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $73,516.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on June 1, 2010 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date and the Company had not reimbursed the Guarantors in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan. The additional 239,392 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $111,790.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled approximately $56,600 and $103,000, respectively. Fees and interest earned by the Guarantors, which are recorded as interest expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled approximately $184,801 and $379,000, respectively. Interest due on the principal amount of the loan has been paid by the Guarantors. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, that amount totaled approximately $441,269 and $693,000, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses at those dates.

In March 2009, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse repaid $3.0 million of principal and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. The Company then owed this $3.0 million to the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his former spouse. This liability was reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on a separate line titled “Subordinated related party loan.” This amount continued to accrue interest at an annual rate of 4.75%.

In February 2010 the Company’s Chief Technology Officer and his spouse filed for divorce papers. Pursuant to the divorce, their jointly owned shares and their ownership of the loan to Bioheart for which they hold as a result of their payment of $3 million of principal and related interest to Bank of America on behalf of Bioheart, would be divided equally between them. As a result, the Chief Technology Officer’s common shares were then reduced to 2,513,840 and his percentage shareholding of the Company to 13.8%, with his former spouse assuming ownership of the same number of common shares and percentage shareholding of the Company. Their commonly owned loan and related interest, as of March 29, 2010, of $4,140,201, was been equally split. The Chief Technology Officer on March 29, 2010, elected to convert his portion of the loan and related interest to restricted common stock and warrants. As a result, Howard Leonhardt, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, as of September 30, 2010, owns approximately 18% of the Company.

In March of 2010, one of the Guarantors paid directly to Bank of America the $666,600 of principal that he had been guaranteeing, and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. That Guarantor agreed to accept from the Company the equivalent of his payment to Bank of America in restricted common stock and warrants. With his acceptance of the restricted common stock and warrants, the former Guarantor owned, at September 30, 2010, approximately 6% of the Company.

On July 16, 2010, the Company received a written notice of default under the Bank of America loan documents by reason of the Company’s failure to pay the loan in full at maturity on July 5, 2010 and failure to pay the extension fee of $30,000 by June 28, 2010, as required by the loan documents, as amended. The Company is engaged in discussions with the guarantors, who provided the loan collateral regarding a structuring of the indebtedness in the event Bank of America seeks recourse against the collateral and those guarantors, by reason of such action, become successors to Bank of America rights and interests under the Bank of America loan.

As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding obligation to Bank of America was approximately $1.3 million plus interest.On October 25, 2010 the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Seaside National Bank and Trust for a $980,000 loan that was used to refinance the Company’s loan with Bank of America. In addition, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors whom was also one of the guarantors of the Bank of America loan paid down the remaining debt of $367,244.

BlueCrest Capital Finance Note Payable

On June 1, 2007, the Company closed on a $5.0 million senior loan from BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. with a term of 36 months which bears interest at an annual rate of 12.85% (the “BlueCrest Loan”). The first three months required payment of interest only with equal principal and interest payments over the remaining 33 months. As consideration for the loan, the Company issued to BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. a warrant to purchase 65,030 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant, which became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued, has a ten year term. This warrant had a fair value of $432,635, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Company also paid the lender a fee of $100,000 to cover diligence and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the loan. On August 31, 2007, BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. assigned its rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under the BlueCrest Loan and warrant to BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund Limited (“BlueCrest”).

The loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part. However, the Company is subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 3% of the outstanding principal if the BlueCrest Loan is prepaid during the first year of the loan, 2% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the second year of the loan and 1% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the third year of the loan. As collateral to secure its repayment obligations under the loan, the Company granted BlueCrest a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property but including the proceeds from any sale of any of the Company’s intellectual property. The loan has certain restrictive terms and covenants including among others, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional senior or pari-passu indebtedness or make interest or principal payments on other subordinate loans.

In the event of an uncured event of default under the loan, all amounts owed to BlueCrest are immediately due and payable and BlueCrest has the right to enforce its security interest in the assets securing the loan. During the continuance of an event of default, all outstanding amounts under the loan will bear interest (payable on demand) at an annual rate of the 14.85%. In addition, any unpaid amounts are subject, until paid, to a service charge in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the unpaid amount. Events of default include, among others, the Company’s failure to timely make payments of principal when due, the Company’s uncured failure to timely pay any other amounts owing to BlueCrest under the loan, the Company’s material breach of the representations and warranties contained in the loan agreement and the Company’s default in the payment of any debt to any of its other lenders in excess of $100,000 or any other default or breach under any agreement relating to such debt, which gives the holders of such debt the right to accelerate the debt.

On January 2, 2009, the Company failed to make the monthly payment of principal and interest of approximately $181,000 due on such date. On January 28, 2009, the Company received from BlueCrest notice of this event of default (the “Default Notice”) under the BlueCrest Loan. By reason of the stated event, BlueCrest demanded payment of a 2% late fee of approximately $3,600, together with the principal and interest payment of approximately $181,000. On February 2, 2009, the Company received from BlueCrest notice of acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of the BlueCrest Loan and demanded repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan, including late fees, in the aggregate amount of $2,947,045. (The acceleration notice, together with the Default Notice, are referred to as the “Notices”).

19



The Company and BlueCrest entered into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan as of April 2, 2009 (the “ BlueCrest Loan Amendment”), that, among other things, includes BlueCrest’s agreement to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies regarding the defaults described in Notices (the “Forbearance”) as long as there are no new defaults under the BlueCrest Loan, as amended.

The BlueCrest Loan Amendment, (a) increases the amount of permitted unsecured indebtedness of the Company, (b) amended the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments until July 1, 2009, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $262,692 will commence, and (c) prohibits the Company from granting any lien against its intellectual property and grants to BlueCrest a lien against the Company’s intellectual property that will become effective in the event of a default. In addition, the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase 1,315,542 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.53 per share.

In connection with the BlueCrest Loan Amendment the Company paid BlueCrest accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $126,077. The Company also paid BlueCrest a fee of $15,000.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company and BlueCrest agreed to enter into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan to amend the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments until January 1, 2010, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $139,728 will commence.

In connection with that Amendment the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase $600,000 of the Company’s common shares and paid a fee of $29,435.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company and BlueCrest entered into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan to amend the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments until July 1, 2010, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $139,728.82 will commence.

In connection with that Amendment, the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase $600,000 of the Company’s common shares and paid a fee of $20,000. The Company also provided BlueCrest with a lien on its intellectual property.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the BlueCrest Loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $276,671 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 the interest totaled approximately $378,231.

Short-term Note Payable

On August 20, 2008, the Company borrowed $1.0 million from a third party pursuant to the terms of an unsecured Promissory Note and Agreement. Outstanding principal and interest on the loan, which accrues at the rate of 13.5% per annum, is payable in one balloon payment upon the Company’s repayment of the BlueCrest Loan. In the event the Company completes a private placement of its common stock and/or securities exercisable for or convertible into its common stock which generates at least $19.0 million of gross proceeds, the Company may prepay, without penalty, all outstanding principal and interest due under the loan using the same type of securities issued in the subject private placement. Because repayment of the loan could occur within 12 months from the date of the balance sheet, the Company has classified this loan as short term. Subject to certain conditions, at the end of each calendar quarter during the time the loan is outstanding, the Company may, but is not required to, pay all or any portion of the interest accrued but unpaid as of such date with shares of its common stock.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan accrued as of September 30, 2010 is $289,500. The Company has not paid any of the interest accrued to date under the Promissory Note and Agreement.

  Stock Options and Warrants

Stock Options

In July 2008, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the establishment of the Bioheart Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The establishment of the Omnibus Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 30, 2008. Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, stock awards, performance shares, and other stock-based awards consisting of cash, restricted stock or unrestricted stock in various combinations to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. 5,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. As of December 31, 2008, no instruments had been issued under the Omnibus Plan.

23



In December 1999, the Company adopted two stock option plans; an employee stock option plan and a directors and consultants stock option plan (collectively referred to as the “Stock Option Plans”), under which a total of 1,235,559 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted by the Company. In 2001, the Company amended the Stock Option Plans to increase the total shares of common stock reserved for issuance to 1,698,894. In 2003, the Company approved an increase of 308,890 shares, making the total 2,007,784 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. In 2006, the Company approved an increase of 1,081,114 shares, making the total 3,088,898 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. The Stock Option Plans provide for the granting of incentive and non-qualified options. The terms of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plans are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant, including the exercise price, vesting provisions and contractual term of such options. The exercise price of incentive stock options must equal at least the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options may be no less than the per share par value. The options have terms of up to ten years after the date of grant and become exercisable as determined upon grant, typically over either three or four year periods from the date of grant. Certain outstanding options vested over a one-year period and some vested immediately. On February 24, 2010, by way of a written consent, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Directors and Consultants 1999 Stock Option Plan to extend the termination date of the Plan to December 1, 2011.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of options at September 30, 2010. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.46 and $0.55 per share, respectively.

This amount consisted of $26,655 in stock-based compensation that was included in research and development expenses and $20,643 that was included in marketing, general and administrative expenses. No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for all net deferred tax assets. The Company elected to adopt the alternative method

of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by ASC Topic 718, formerly FSP No. SFAS 123R-c, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards that were outstanding as of the adoption of ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of options on the date of grant. This model derives the fair value of options based on certain assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield. The Company’s expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of other publicly traded development stage companies in the same industry. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company estimated the expected term for stock option grants by review of similar data from a peer group of companies. The Company adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008 and will apply the simplified method in SAB 107 until enough historical experience is readily available to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term for stock option grants. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve appropriate for the term of the expected life of the options.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions.

  Legal Proceedings

The Company is not subject to any legal proceedings.

10.
  Contingency

The Company believes that it may have issued options to purchase common stock to certain of its employees, directors and consultants in California in violation of the registration or qualification provisions of applicable California securities laws. As a result, the Company intends to make a rescission offer to these persons. The Company will make this offer to all persons who have a continuing right to rescission, which it believes to include two persons. In the rescission offer, in accordance with California law, the Company will offer to repurchase all unexercised options issued to these persons at 77% of the option exercise price multiplied by the number of option shares, plus interest at the rate of 7% from the date the options were granted. Based upon the number of options that were subject to rescission as of December 31, 2009, assuming that all such options are tendered in the rescission offer, the Company estimated that its total rescission liability would be up to approximately $371,000. However, as the Company believes there is only a remote likelihood the rescission offer will be accepted by any of these persons in an amount that would result in a material expenditure by the Company, no liability was recorded as of September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Our Ability To Continue as a Going Concern

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated, March 31, 2010, in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009, that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of our common stock will lose all of their investment. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview

We are committed to maintaining a leading position within the cardiovascular sector of the cell technology industry, delivering cell therapies, intelligent devices and biologics that help address congestive heart failure, lower limb ischemia, chronic heart ischemia, acute myocardial infarctions and other issues. We work to prevent the worsening of heart failure conditions with devices that monitor and diagnose. Our goals are to cause damaged tissue to be regenerated, if possible, and to improve a patient’s quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations.

Biotechnology Product Candidates

Specific to biotechnology, we are focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage and peripheral vascular disease. MyoCell is a clinical muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patient’s heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients. Our most recent clinical trials of MyoCell include the MARVEL trial, a phase II/III US trial, the SEISMIC Trial, a completed 40-patient, randomized, multicenter, controlled, Phase II-a study conducted in Europe and the MYOHEART Trial, a completed 20-patient, multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation trial conducted in the United States. We were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to proceed with a 330 patient, multicenter Phase II/III trial of MyoCell in North America and Europe (the “MARVEL Trial”). We completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in the MARVEL Trial on October 24, 2007. Thus far, 20 patients, including 6 control patients, have been treated. Initial results for the 20 patients were released at the Heart Failure Society of American meeting in October, 2009, showing a dramatic (35%) improvement in 6 minute walk distance for those patients who were treated, and less distance from baseline for those who received a placebo. We are planning, on the basis of these results, to ask the FDA to consider the MARVEL Trial a pivotal trial (pivotal from Phase II to Phase III) and to reduce the number of patients in the trial to 150 from 330. The SEISMIC, MYOHEART and MARVEL Trials have been designed to test the safety and efficacy of MyoCell in treating patients with severe, chronic damage to the heart. Upon regulatory approval of MyoCell or MyoCell SDF-1, our second generation therapy, discussed below, we intend to generate revenue in the United States from the sale of cell-culturing services for treatment of patients by qualified physicians. Abroad, we are identifying centers where it is acceptable to use the MyoCell and MyoCell SDF-1 treatments so that patients with this problem can have access to treatment.

We received approval from the FDA in July of 2009 to conduct a Phase I safety study on 15 patients of a combined therapy (Myocell with SDF-1), the first approval of a study combining gene and cell therapies. Work commenced on this study, called the REGEN trial, during the first quarter of 2010. Based on the results of the trial, we intend to either incorporate the combination treatment into the MARVEL trial, or continue with the MARVEL trial based on the use of MyoCell alone.

In our pipeline, we have multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including an autologous, adipose cell treatment for heart damage and MyoCell® SDF-1. Tissue Genesis, Inc., the entity from whom we have obtained the worldwide right to sell or lease the TGI 1200TM adipose tissue processing system announced on November 13, 2008 that the TGI 1200TM had been certified with a CE Marking, thus making the system available throughout the European marketplace. We understand that Tissue Genesis is in the process of evaluating the regulatory pathway that should be pursued for the TGI 1200TM device. We hope to demonstrate that our various product candidates are safe and effective complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage as well as peripheral arterial disease.

MyoCath

The MyoCath was developed by Bioheart co-founder Robert Lashinski specifically for delivering new cells to damaged tissue. It is a deflecting tip needle injection catheter that has a larger needle which is 25

31




gauge for better flow rates and less leakage than systems that are 27 gauge. This larger needle allows for thicker compositions to be injected which helps with cell retention in the heart. Also, the MyoCath needle has more fluoroscopic brightness than the normally used nitinol needle, enabling superior visualization during the procedure. Seeing the needle well during injections enables the physician who is operating the catheter to pinpoint targeted areas more precisely, thus improving safety. The MyoCath competes well with other biological delivery systems on price and efficiency and allows the physician to utilize standard fluoroscopy and echo equipment found in every cath lab. The MyoCath is used to inject cells into cardiac tissue in therapeutic procedures to treat chronic heart ischemic and congestive heart failure. As of September 30, 2010 all finished goods inventory of MyoCath had expired. The Company is considering several contract manufacturers to produce additional inventory.

       Center of Excellence Program

On March 23, 2010, the Company announced plans for establishing five Centers of Excellence in Latin America to provide its cell therapy procedures to patients suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Bioheart entered into its first agreement with a leading treatment facilitator, Regenerative Medicine Institute of Tijuana, Mexico. Therapies for CHF and PAD patients will be made available at the Hospital Angeles Tijuana, a fully equipped state-of-the-art private specialties hospital. This is the first of five Centers of Excellence with four additional Centers to be announced in the coming months

On April 14, 2010, the Company announced that treatment with stem cell therapy on two congestive heart failure (CHF) patients was performed successfully at the Hospital Angeles Tijuana, Mexico, through Bioheart’s Center of Excellence program with Regenerative Medicine Institute.

In August of 2010, the Company announced that stem cell treatments and 3 month follow up on the first two congestive heart failure patients have been performed successfully. To date, four patients have been treated utilizing an autologous, adipose tissue-derived cell treatment. Two of the patients have completed the 3-month follow-up testing. Significant improvements were seen in both the 6-minute walk as well as the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The first patient improved his walking distance from 315 to 420 meters and LVEF from 32% to 38%. The second patient improved his walking distance from 450 to 492 meters and LVEF from 40% to 55%.

Intelligent Devices — Distribution Agreements

Effective as of April 3, 2008, we entered into a distribution agreement with RTX Healthcare A/S (Denmark) (“RTX”) pursuant to which we secured worldwide, non-exclusive distribution rights to the Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor, an interactive and simple-to-use at-home intelligent device designed specifically to improve available healthcare to patients outside hospitals who are suffering from heart failure. The device, manufactured by RTX, has 510(k) market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for marketing in the United States and CE mark approval for marketing in Europe and other countries that follow this mark. The compact Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor engages patients through personalized daily interactions and questions, while collecting vital signs and transmitting the information directly into a database. The data are regularly monitored by a remotely located medical professional, who watches for any abnormal readings that may signal a change in the patient’s health status. These changes are reported back to the treating physician. We do not have any minimum purchase commitment under the agreement. However, the per unit purchase price payable by us is inversely related to the number of units we purchase per annum. The distribution agreement has an initial term of two years and is subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates an intent to terminate the agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The distribution agreement may be terminated by either party upon the other party’s default.

The company has signed distribution agreements with Restoration Medical, McRay Medical, Alamo Scientific and Morey Medical. These distributors will assist Bioheart with introducing its Home Heart Failure

The agreement has an initial term of one year and is subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates intent to terminate the agreement no less than 60 days prior to the end of the then current term.

The heart failure monitors are reimbursed by Medicare to home health companies. In 2009, reimbursement was added to the National Episode Rate for cardiac patients. The monitors in conjunction with the nurse’s visit are essential to the well being of chronic heart failure patients. Care Plan Oversight (CPO) reimbursement also allows physicians to bill Medicare for their time overseeing the care of home care or hospice patients.

The Company has placed the program on hold as it seeks to secure the additional funding necessary to further develop our device related software.

Operations

We conduct operations in one business segment. We may organize our business into more discrete business units when and if we generate significant revenue from the sale of our product candidates. Substantially all of our revenue since inception has been generated in the United States, and the majority of our long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our critical accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following policies are important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS No. 123R requires us to measure all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of stock options and other share-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service period of each award.

The fair value of share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, we also began recognizing compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted under our stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to vest. Our future share-based compensation expense will depend on the number of equity instruments granted and the estimated value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

We account for certain share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. We estimate the fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting period and expense the fair value over the vesting period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are provided.

Revenue Recognition

Since inception, we have not generated any material revenues from our MyoCell product candidate. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, our revenue policy is to recognize revenues from product sales and service transactions generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determined, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of product or service has occurred.

34



We initially recorded payments received by us pursuant to our agreements with ACS as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on a pro rata basis as the catheters are delivered pursuant to those agreements.

Research and Development Activities

Research and development expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners, are charged to expense as incurred. We expense amounts paid to obtain patents or acquire licenses as the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid is uncertain.

Results of Operations

We are a development stage company and neither our MyoCell product candidate nor our other product candidates has received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and neither is expected to in the near future, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue clinical trials, undertake new clinical trials, apply for regulatory approvals, make capital expenditures, add information systems and personnel, make payments pursuant to our license agreements upon our achievement of certain milestones, continue development of additional product candidates using our technology, establish sales and marketing capabilities and incur the additional cost of operating as a public company.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenues

We recognized revenues of $6,422 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to revenues of $17,250 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Our revenue in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was generated mainly from the sale of Cardio Devices and TGI Products and the revenue in the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was also generated from the sale of MyoCath catheters and TGI Products.

We recognized revenues of $42,888 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to revenues of $224,135 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Our revenue in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was generated mainly from the sale of Cardio Devices and Myocath catheters, and the revenue in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was generated mainly from the sale of MyoCath catheters.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $2,827 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $10,933 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Cost of sales was $19,626 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $123,714 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were approximately $173,800 in the three month period ended in September 30, 2010, an decrease of approximately $1,050,200 from research and development expenses of $1,224,000 in same three month period in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in the amount of funds allocated to our clinical trials.

35



Research and development expenses were approximately $1,267,400 in the nine month period ended in September 30, 2010, an decrease of approximately $998,300 from research and development expenses of $2,265,700 in same nine month period in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in the amount of funds allocated to our clinical trials.

The timing and amount of our planned research and development expenditures is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. See “— Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors — We will need to secure additional financing ...

Marketing, General and Administrative

Marketing, general and administrative expenses were approximately $430,900 in the three month period ended September 30 2010, a decrease of $116,500 from marketing, general and administrative expenses of approximately $547,400 in the same three month period in 2009. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses is attributable, in part, to a decrease in legal fees.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,244,950 in the nine month period ended September 30 2010, a decrease of approximately $422,000 from marketing, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,666,500 in the same nine month period in 2009. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses is attributable, in part, to a decrease in insurance, legal and rent expenses.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was $.43 in the three months ended September 30. 2010 compared to interest income of $2 in the same three month period ended September 30, 2009. Interest income was $2 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to interest income of $18 in the same nine month period in 2009. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower cash balances in the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Interest Expense

On June 1, 2007, we entered into the BlueCrest Loan and the Bank of America Loan, both in the principal amount of $5.0 million, with interest rates of 12.85% and 4.75% (prime plus 1.5%), respectively, at December 31, 2008. On August 20, 2008, we borrowed $1.0 million from a third party at an interest rate of 13.5% per annum. Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on the principal amount of these loans, accrued fees and interest earned by the guarantors of the Bank of America Loan, the amortization of related deferred loan costs and the amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America Loans. The fair value of the warrants originally issued in connection with the Bank of America Loan was amortized by the end of January 2008.

Interest expense was $567,348 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to interest expense of $428,796 in the same three month period in 2009. Interest incurred on the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors totaled $190,423 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and $310,834 in the same three month period in 2009. Amortization of deferred loan costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America loans totaled $376,925 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $117,962 in the same three month period in 2009.

Interest expense was $1,705,762 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to interest expense of $1,764,604 in the same nine month period in 2009. Interest incurred on the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors totaled $719,755 in the nine month period

36




ended September 30, 2010 and $896,839 in the same nine month period in 2009. Amortization of deferred loan costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America loans totaled $986,006 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $867,765 in the same nine month period in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, we continued to finance our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated from financing activities.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,109,386 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,477,979 of cash used in the same nine month period in 2009.

Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $4.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $141,894, amortization of the fair value of warrants granted in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America loan of $731,491, amortization of loan costs incurred in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $69,208. An increase in prepaid and other current assets of $32,159 and an increase in accounts payable of $135,063 contributed to our use of operating cash in 2010. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due mainly to the increase in prepaid insurance. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were in increase in accrued expenses of $962,215.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.00 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2,019 for the same nine month period in 2009. There were none investing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,179,651 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,517,425 for the same nine month period in 2009.

Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements

Neither our MyoCell product candidate nor our other product candidates has received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues. We do not expect to generate any material revenues or cash from sales of our MyoCell and other product candidates in the near future, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Historically, we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our additional debt to provide the funds necessary to conduct our research and development activities and to meet our other cash needs.

At September 30, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $145,296. However, our working capital deficit as of such date was $11.8 million. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated March 31, 2010 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

37



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports, as well as to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as well as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer, as well as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not, and is not required to, include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

38



PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    
  Legal Proceedings

Our company is not involved in any material litigation and we are unaware of any threatened material litigation. However, the biotechnology and medical device industries have been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. In addition, from time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of our business.

Item 1A.    
  Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10K and 10K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 the Company believes there are the additional risk factors related to our products, business, and financial condition;

We may not be able to obtain additional inventory of our essential MyoCath Catheter.

Our current inventory has been exhausted and while the company endeavors to contract with a manufacturer for additional inventory there is no assurance that it will be successful in identifying or contracting with a manufacturer on acceptable terms. Our inability to obtain additional MyoCath inventory would have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

Our Software based devices may develop software errors.

The software that enables some of our devices is early stage and when tested in the field may develop or reveal software errors requiring further software development. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds to adequately test, develop, or where appropriate fix our device related software which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

The management of the REGEN Trial is within the control of persons whom are no longer affiliates of the Company.

The company with whom we contracted to manage our REGEN Trial at the time was managed by two persons who were members of our Board of Directors. These persons since have resigned as Officers and Directors of the Company. Although at this time we believe that this former related party intends to perform its REGEN Trial related obligations under its agreement with us, a default in the performance of those obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

On July 16, 2010, the Company received a written notice of default under the Bank of America loan documents by reason of the Company’s failure to pay the loan in full at maturity on July 5, 2010 and failure to pay the extension fee of $30,000 by June 28, 2010, as required by the loan documents, as amended. The Company is engaged in discussions with the guarantors, who have provided the loan collateral, regarding a restructuring of the indebtedness in the event Bank of America seeks recourse against the collateral and those guarantors, by reason of such action, become successors to the Bank of America rights and interests under the Bank of America Loan. On October 25, 2010 the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Seaside National Bank and Trust for a $980,000 loan that was used to refinance the Company’s loan with Bank of America.
