1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
Bioheart, Inc. (the Company) is committed to delivering intelligent devices and biologics
that help monitor, diagnose and treat heart failure and cardiovascular diseases. Its goals are to
improve a patients quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations. Specific to
biotechnology, the Company is focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory
approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute
heart damage. The Companys lead product candidate is MyoCell®, an innovative clinical
muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patients heart
with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure
patients. The Companys 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 effort to raising capital, research and development of products noted
above, and developing markets for its products. Accordingly, the financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles prescribed by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises (SFAS No. 7), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
Prior to marketing its products in the United States, the Companys products must undergo
rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented
by the Food and Drug Administration (the 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 Companys 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.
Interim Financial Statements
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 normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed
or omitted.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2008, the
results of its operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The results of
operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and cash flows for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 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, 2008.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include 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 Managements 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, 2007 and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, which was filed
with the SEC.
Reverse Stock Split
On August 31, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved a 1-for-1.6187 reverse stock
split of the Companys capital stock, which became effective on September 27, 2007. All share
numbers and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares of
stock resulting from the reverse stock split, the number of shares held by each shareholder
following the reverse stock split was rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Initial Public Offering
On February 22, 2008 (the Closing Date) the Company completed its initial public offering of
common stock (the IPO) pursuant to which it sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price per
share of $5.25, for net proceeds of approximately $1.45 million after deducting underwriter
discounts of approximately $400,000 and offering costs of approximately $3.92 million. The
Companys common stock commenced trading on February 19, 2008 on the NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol BHRT and subsequently transferred to the NASDAQ Capital Market in June 2008. On October
15, 2008, the Company received notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the
Company was not in compliance with certain of the NASDAQ Capital Market continued listing
requirements and providing the Company thirty calendar days to regain compliance with these
requirements. See Note 11. Subsequent Events for additional information.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 reflects
the Companys receipt of approximately $4.24 million of Proceeds from (payments for) initial
public offering of common stock, net. The $4.24 million cash proceeds figure is approximately
$2.79 million higher than the $1.45 million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our
payment of $2.79 million of various offering expenses prior to January 1, 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)
The net cash proceeds from the IPO have been primarily used for commencement of full-scale
enrollment in a planned clinical trial of MyoCell, milestone payments due under licensing
agreements, repayment of a portion of certain debt obligations and general corporate purposes.
Prior to the completion of the IPO, costs related to the offering were recognized as a deferred
asset when incurred and totaled approximately $3.48 million as of December 31, 2007. All such
costs, including costs incurred subsequent to December 31, 2007 through completion of the IPO, were
charged to paid-in capital upon completion of the IPO in February 2008.
On the Closing Date, the Company issued to Dawson James Securities, Inc. a warrant to purchase
77,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $6.5625 per share. Dawson James
Securities, Inc. acted as the representative of the several underwriters of the IPO. The warrant,
which is not exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of issuance, expires on October 2,
2012.
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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of upfront payments under an
agreement with the contract research organization that the Company is utilizing for its MARVEL
clinical trial and payments on corporate insurance policies. At September 30, 2008, prepaid
expenses included approximately $878,000 in upfront payments to the contract research organization.
These upfront payments will be applied as payment toward the final invoices from the contract
research organization at which time the amounts will be expensed. Any unused amount will be
refunded to the Company upon completion of the services. There were no such upfront payments
included in prepaid expenses at December 31, 2007.
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 are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the
respective loans using the effective interest rate method. At September 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, the Company had net deferred loan costs of $468,404 and $1,146,716, respectively. For the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $196,697 and $1,083,586,
respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which
included $102,977 and $907,799, respectively, related to the fair value of warrants issued in
connection with the loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recorded $1,016,373 and $1,289,846, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization
of deferred loan costs, which included $664,734 and $1,063,655, 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 Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) using the modified prospective transition
method. 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 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 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 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. 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.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during each period, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The effect of outstanding
stock options and warrants, which could result in the issuance of 4,805,187 and 4,319,983 shares of
common stock at September 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not impose fair value measurements on
items not already accounted for at fair value; rather it applies, with certain exceptions, to other
accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. Under SFAS No.
157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most
advantageous market. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions
market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In February 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays
the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial
statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. These non-financial items include assets and liabilities such as non-financial
assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination, reporting
units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and asset retirement obligations
initially measured at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 requires that a Company measure its financial assets and liabilities using inputs
from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification
within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
| Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. | ||
| Level 2 Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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 by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). | ||
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflect the Companys judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Companys own data. |
The adoption of the applicable provisions of SFAS No. 157 did not have an effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the
remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to
elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and
liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial
assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. The Company adopted SFAS
No. 159 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. The guidance in EITF Issue
No. 07-3 requires the Company to defer and capitalize nonrefundable advance payments made for goods
or services to be used in research and development activities until the goods have been delivered
or the related services have been performed. If the goods are no longer expected to be delivered
nor the services expected to be performed, the Company would be required to expense the related
capitalized advance payments. The Company adopted EITF Issue No. 07-3 effective January 1, 2008.
The adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-3 did not have an effect on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2007, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, Share-Based
Payment, which amends SAB 107, Share-Based Payment, to permit public companies, under certain
circumstances, to use the simplified method in SAB 107 for employee option grants after December
31, 2007. Use of the simplified method after December 2007 is permitted only for companies whose
historical data about their employees exercise behavior does not provide a reasonable basis for
estimating the expected term of the options. The Company adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008
and will apply the simplified method until enough historical experience is readily available to
provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term for
employee option grants. The Company does not feel it has adequate historical data about its
employees exercise behavior as the number of exercises has been insignificant relative to the
number of grants and total options outstanding. The adoption of SAB 110 did not have a material
effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Future Accounting Standards
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007) Business Combinations, which
will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will
be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the
acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R retains the purchase method of
accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including expensing acquisition
costs as incurred, capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, recording
noncontrolling interests at fair value and recording acquired contingent liabilities at fair value.
SFAS No. 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. Both
early adoption and retrospective application are prohibited. SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on
the accounting for the Companys business combinations once adopted, but the effect depends on the
terms of the Companys business combinations subsequent to January 1, 2009, if any.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of
a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority
interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity.
The amount of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated
net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parents
ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if
the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, SFAS No. 160 requires that a
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or
loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the
deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the
interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods in those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early
adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material
effect on its consolidated financial statements.
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets. FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP No. 142-3 is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141
(revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP
No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods in those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2008. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in
FSP No. 142-3 shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective
date. The disclosure requirements in FSP No. 142-3 are to be applied prospectively to all
intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is
prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a material effect on
its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by
standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and
preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether
implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
Reclassifications
Beginning in 2008, the Company is presenting development revenues, primarily from paid
registry trials, as a separate line item in its statement of operations. The Company has
reclassified amounts in the 2007 and cumulative statements of operations to conform to the current
year presentation.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented
assuming the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant
operating losses since its inception and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of
$94.1 million as of September 30, 2008. In addition, as of September 30, 2008, the Companys
current liabilities exceed its current assets by $13.1 million. Current liabilities include notes
payable of $7.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company generated
approximately $5.2 million of cash on a net basis as a result of its IPO and a $1.0 million loan.
In addition, between October 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, the Company generated net proceeds of
$2.1 million in a private placement. However, this funding is not expected to provide sufficient
cash to support the Companys operations through December 2008. The Company will need to secure
additional sources of capital by the end of November 2008 to develop its business and product
candidates as planned.
The Company currently has no commitments or arrangements from third parties for any additional
financing to fund research and development and/or other operations. 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 Companys 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
operations, default on its debt obligations, file for bankruptcy or seek to sell some or all of its
assets. As such, the Companys continuation as a going concern is uncertain.
Due to the Companys financial condition, the report of the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm on the Companys December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements
includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Companys 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 Companys significant
contractual relationships:
During February 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement (the Original Law License
Agreement) with Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants International, pursuant to which Dr. Law
and Cell Transplants International granted the Company a license to certain patents, including the
patent that the Company relies upon to protect its MyoCell product candidate (the Law IP). In
July 2000, the parties executed an addendum to the Original Law License Agreement (the License
Addendum), the provisions of which amended a number of terms of the Original License Agreement.
More specifically, the License Addendum provided, among other things:
| The parties agreed that the Company would issue, and the Company did issue, to Cell Transplants International a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, issuing to Cell Transplants International or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of the Companys common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of the Companys 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 Companys obligation to pay Cell Transplants International a $3 million milestone payment would be triggered upon the Companys commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial that utilizes technology claimed under the Law IP instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, upon initiation of an FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology in the United States. This $3 million payment is included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. |
In addition, if the Company obtains FDA approval of a method of heart muscle regeneration
utilizing the patented technology contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, the
Company will be required to pay additional consideration of $5 million. Further, if the Company
produces successful commercial products that result directly from the patents contemplated under
the Original Law License Agreement, the Company will be required to pay royalties of 5% from
specific sales as determined in the Original Law License Agreement over the period of the patents
useful lives.
In February 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Cleveland
Clinic Foundation for various patents to be used in connection with the MyoCell SDF-1 product
candidate. In exchange for the license, the Company 1) paid $250,000 upon the closing of the
agreement; 2) paid $1,250,000 in 2006; 3) paid $150,000 in 2008; 4) will pay a maintenance fee of
$150,000 per year for the duration of the license; 5) will be required to make various milestone
payments including $200,000 upon the approval of an Investigational New Drug application for a
licensed product by the FDA and $1,000,000 upon the first commercial sale of an FDA approved
licensed product, 50% of which may be paid in the form of
common stock; and 6) will pay a 5% royalty on the net sales of products and services that
directly rely upon the claims of the patents for the first $300,000,000 of annual net sales and a
3% royalty for any annual net sales over $300,000,000. The royalty percentage shall be reduced by
0.5% for each 1.0% of license fees paid to any other entity. However, the royalty percentage shall
not be reduced to less than 2.5%.

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 Companys 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 pricing 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 1200 product
candidates. In exchange for the license, the Company agreed to do the following: 1) issue 13,006
shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $7.69 per share; and 2) issue a warrant
exercisable for 1,544,450 shares of the Companys 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 Companys 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.

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 prime rate plus 1.5%. The prime rate was 5.00% and 7.25% at September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 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. On June 1, 2008, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan
until January 5, 2009 provided that, until one of the Guarantors who has not yet signed the
extension documents executes such documents, the Bank has reserved its rights to call the loan at
any time. As consideration for the first extension of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a
fee of $50,000. As consideration for the second extension of the loan, the Company paid Bank of
America a fee of $75,000. 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 Companys
benefit, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his spouse, certain other members
of the Companys Board of Directors and one of the Companys shareholders (the Guarantors)
provided collateral to guarantee the loan. Except for a $1.1 million personal guaranty (backed by
collateral) provided by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his spouse, these
guarantees are limited to the collateral each provided to the lender.
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 Companys benefit,
the Guarantors have agreed to provide Bank of America in the aggregate up to $5.5 million of funds
and/or securities to make these payments.
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 security for 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 $1,437,637, 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 expensed to interest expense in September 2007.
In September 2007, a member of the Companys Board of Directors and two of the Companys
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 Companys Board of Directors and partially
replaced the collateral originally provided by another member of the Companys 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 are not

exercisable until the date that is one year following the date the warrants were issued.
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,118 shares of the Companys 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
to 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 Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his spouse agreed to
provide an additional $2.2 million limited personal guarantee of the loan and have pledged
securities accounts to backup this limited personal guarantee. The additional collateral provided
by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his spouse fully replaced the collateral
originally provided by one of the original Guarantors. The Companys Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer and his spouse have now personally guaranteed an aggregate of $3.3 million of the loan. The
Companys agreement with the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his spouse with
respect to the additional collateral is substantially similar to the Companys 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 Companys Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and his spouse, warrants to purchase 81,547 shares of the Companys common stock
at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant has a ten-year term and is not exercisable
until the date that is one year following the date the warrant was issued. The fair value of the
warrant was determined to be $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 Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share issued to that Guarantor was
recorded to 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
Companys 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 to 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
to interest expense with the remainder accounted for as 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 the event that as of the second anniversary and third
anniversary of the closing date of the loan, the Company has not reimbursed the
Guarantors in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan, the number of shares
subject to the warrants will further increase.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $83,000 and $124,000, respectively. The amount of
interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 totaled approximately $264,000 and $164,000, respectively. Fees and interest earned by the
Guarantors, which are recorded to interest expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 totaled approximately $81,000 and $70,000, respectively. Fees and interest earned by the
Guarantors for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $236,000 and
$93,000, respectively. Interest due on the principal amount of the loan has been paid by the
Guarantors. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, that amount totaled approximately
$432,000 and $243,000, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses.
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 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.
The loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part. However, the Company is subject to a
prepayment penalty equal to 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
Capital a first priority security interest in all of the Companys assets, excluding intellectual
property but including the proceeds from any sale of any of the Companys intellectual property.
The loan has certain restrictive terms and covenants including among others, restrictions on the
Companys 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
Capital are immediately due and payable and BlueCrest Capital has the right to enforce its security
interest in the assets securing the loan. Events of default include, among others, the Companys
failure to timely make payments of principal when due, the Companys uncured failure to timely pay
any other amounts owing to the lender under the loan, the Companys material breach of the
representations and warranties contained in the loan agreement and the Companys 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.
The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $113,000 and $161,000, respectively. The amount
of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $380,000 and $214,000, respectively.

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 later of
November 20, 2008 or the Companys repayment of the BlueCrest Loan, which is scheduled to mature in
May 2010. 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. 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 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $16,000. The Company has not paid any of the
interest accrued to date under the Promissory Note and Agreement.

6. Shareholders Equity
In September 2007, by way of a written consent, the Companys shareholders holding a majority
of its outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to Biohearts Articles of
Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of capital stock so that, following the
reverse stock split that was effectuated on September 27, 2007, the Company had 50 million shares
of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share and five million shares of
preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share.
On August 6, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of its common stock from 50 million to 75 million shares. This amendment was
approved by the Companys shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 30, 2008.
Commencing in 2006 and ending in May 2007, the Company initiated capital raising activities
through the use of a private placement. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the
Company raised net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million through the sale of 529,432 shares of
common stock at a price of $7.69 per share to various investors.
7. 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 Companys 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 Companys employees,
directors and consultants. 5,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under
the Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2008, no instruments had been issued under the Omnibus Plan.
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 plans are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at
the time of grant, including the exercise price, term and any restrictions on the exercisability 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. As of September 30, 2008, 741,374 shares remain available for issuance under
the Stock Option Plans.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2.39 and $6.56 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value
of options exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $104,405. Options
exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were deemed to have no intrinsic
value as the exercise prices were greater than the per share offering price of the Companys common
stock in its IPO.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized $127,483 in
stock-based compensation costs of which $70,685 represented research and development expense and
the remaining amount was marketing, general and administrative expense. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized $1,199,029 in stock-based compensation costs of
which $162,304 represented research and development expense and the remaining amount was marketing,
general and administrative expense.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized $224,578 in
stock-based compensation costs of which $60,896 represents research and development expense and the
remaining amount is marketing, general and administrative expense. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007, the Company recognized $684,768 in stock-based compensation costs of which
$207,158 represents research and development expense and the remaining amount is marketing, general
and administrative expense.
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 FASB
Staff Position 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 SFAS No.
123R. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized
compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards that is expected to be recognized over
the next three years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock
options on the date of grant. This model derives the fair value of stock options based on certain
assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest
rate and dividend yield. The Companys 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 three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of each
stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average
assumptions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
77,000 shares of its common stock to the representative of the several underwriters of the
Companys IPO, as discussed in Note 1. Excluding this warrant, the weighted average fair value of
warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2.27 per share. The weighted

8. Legal Proceedings
On March 9, 2007, Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants Asia, Limited (the Plaintiffs)
filed a complaint against the Company and Howard J. Leonhardt, the Companys Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer, individually, in the United States District
Court, Western District of Tennessee. On February 7, 2000, the Company entered a license agreement
(the Original Law License Agreement) with Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International, LLC,
pursuant to which Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International granted the Company a license to
certain patents, including the patent the Company relies upon to protect its MyoCell product
candidate (the Law IP). The parties executed an addendum to the Original Law License Agreement
(the License Addendum) in July 2000, the provisions of which amended a number of terms of the
Original License Agreement.
The Plaintiffs are alleging and seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the
License Addendum fails for lack of consideration. Based upon this argument, the Plaintiffs allege
that the Company is in breach of the terms of the Original Law License Agreement.
In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum is not enforceable,
the Plaintiffs are also seeking an accounting of all revenues, remunerations or benefits derived by
the Company or Mr. Leonhardt from sales, provision and/or distribution of products and services
that read directly on the Law IP, compensatory and punitive monetary damages and preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief to prohibit the Company from sublicensing its license rights to third
parties.
The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and has defended the action vigorously. The
Company filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding against both the Company and Mr. Leonhardt. On
July 26, 2007, the court granted the Companys motion to dismiss Mr. Leonhardt in his individual
capacity and one count of the complaint alleging a civil conspiracy. The court denied the Companys
motion to dismiss all other claims. The Company thereafter filed and served its answer to the
Plaintiffs complaint. The Company asserted counterclaims against the Plaintiffs for declaratory
judgment that the License Addendum is a valid and subsisting agreement, and for breach of contract
with respect to various obligations undertaken by the Plaintiffs in the Original License Agreement,
as amended by the License Addendum. The Company is seeking approximately $10 million in damages
from the Plaintiffs pursuant to its counterclaims.

The action was tried before the court in September 2008. The parties are currently awaiting
receipt of the trial transcript, after which they will have 30-45 days to file post-trial briefs
and proposed findings of facts and conclusions of law. The courts decision could come anytime
thereafter.
There is a risk that the court may find in favor of the Plaintiffs. The Companys current cash
reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs.
The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the BlueCrest Loan and
Bank of America Loan and have a significant adverse impact on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.
Due to the uncertainty related to these proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be
determined.
On October 24, 2007, the Company completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the
first patient in its MARVEL Trial. Pursuant to the Companys license agreement with Dr. Law and
Cell Transplants International, the Company is required to pay to Cell Transplants International a
$3 million payment upon commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial that
utilizes technology claimed under the patent the Company relies upon to protect its MyoCell product
candidate. The Company has not yet made the $3 million payment that is now due, however the amount
is included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2008 and December 31,2007.
Other
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, as of September 30, 2008, the amount of ultimate liability
with respect to such matters, if any, in excess of applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to
have a material impact on the Companys business, financial position, consolidated results of
operations or liquidity. However, as the outcome of litigation and other claims is difficult to
predict, significant changes in the estimated exposures could occur.
9. 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 September 30, 2008, assuming that all
such options are tendered in the rescission offer, the Company estimated that its total rescission
liability would be up to approximately $366,000. 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, 2008 or December 31, 2007.
10. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had accrued costs incurred in connection with its IPO of
$878,115.
Costs related to the Companys IPO had been deferred when incurred and totaled approximately
$3.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Such deferred costs were reflected as an asset on the
December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet. All such costs, including costs incurred subsequent
to December 31, 2007 through the completion of the IPO, were charged to paid-in capital in 2008. As
of December 31, 2007, approximately $695,000 of costs incurred in connection with the IPO were
included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and were paid in 2008.

Between October 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, the Company sold, in a private placement, an
aggregate of 1,230,280 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants (the Warrants) to
purchase 369,084 shares of the Companys common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of
approximately $2.14 million. The Warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at a weighted
average exercise price of $2.09 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance
and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date
that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year
anniversary of the date of issuance.
NASDAQ Notice
On October 15, 2008, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (the NASDAQ
Letter) advising that, for the last ten consecutive trading days, the market value of the
Companys listed securities had been below the minimum $35 million requirement for continued
inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3)(B).
Furthermore, NASDAQ stated that the Company does not comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(3)(A) or 4310(c)(3)(C), which requires the Company to have either minimum stockholders
equity of $2.5 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently
completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
In the NASDAQ Letter, NASDAQ advised that, in accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4450(e)(4), the Company will be provided thirty calendar days, or until November 14, 2008 (the
Compliance Period), to regain compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3)(B). The NASDAQ
Staff may determine that the Company has regained compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(3)(B) if, at any time before the end of the Compliance Period, the market value of the
Companys listed securities is $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
As of the filing date of this report, the Company does not anticipate regaining compliance
with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3)(B) within the Compliance Period. Therefore, the Company
expects NASDAQ will provide the Company with written notification that the Companys common stock
will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the
determination by the NASDAQ Staff to delist its common stock to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
There can be no assurances that any such appeal, if made, will be successful.
If the Company is unsuccessful in maintaining its NASDAQ listing, then the Company may pursue
listing and trading of the Companys common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or another
securities exchange or association with different listing standards than NASDAQ.
Termination of non-binding letter of intent to acquire Medicalgorithmics
In October 2008, the Company announced that it had terminated its non-binding letter of intent
to acquire Medicalgorithmics SP. z.o.o. and the worldwide rights to the PocketECG, a real-time
wireless beat-to-beat, intelligent heart monitor and diagnostic system, designed for long-term,
fully-automated electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmia analysis.

Our Ability To Continue as a Going Concern
Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated March 19, 2008 in
connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2007 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,
2008 were 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.
As of October 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.0 million. If we
continue to defer approximately $1.0 million of payables and continue to defer our payment of $3.0
million to Cell Transplants International, we project that our existing cash resources will be
sufficient to finance our operations through the end of November 2008. See - Existing Capital
Resources and Future Capital Requirements and Item 1A. Risk Factors We will need to secure
additional financing by the end of November 2008...
Overview
We are committed to delivering intelligent devices and biologics that help monitor, diagnose
and treat heart failure and cardiovascular diseases. Our goals are to improve a patients 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. Our lead product candidate is MyoCell, an innovative clinical
muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patients 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 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 have been cleared 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. If the results of the MARVEL Trial demonstrate statistically
significant evidence of
28
Table of Contents
the safety and efficacy of MyoCell, we anticipate having a basis to ask the FDA to consider
the MARVEL Trial a pivotal trial. 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, we intend to generate revenue from the sale of MyoCell
cell-culturing services for treatment of patients by interventional cardiologists.
We are currently in the process of evaluating our development timeline for MyoCell and the
MARVEL Trial. To date, approximately 50 patients have been enrolled in the MARVEL Trial. We
currently anticipate that we will file with the FDA an amendment to the clinical protocol for the
MARVEL Trial by the end of November 2008 to, among other things, seek to use, as part of the
patient protocol, mobile cardiac telemetry monitor recorders. Provided that the protocol amendment is
approved by the end of December 2008 and we are able to secure $5.0 million of additional
capital by the end of November 2008, we currently intend to seek to enroll and treat approximately
150 patients in the MARVEL Trial by the end of the second quarter of 2009. If we meet that
timeline, we would expect interim trial data for these 150 patients to be available in the fourth
quarter of 2009. If we are unable to secure additional capital by the end of November 2008, we
expect to explore our strategic options, including potentially suspending or slowing down
enrollment in the MARVEL Trial. As part of this evaluation process, we expect that we would
analyze whether to focus resources towards the development, commercialization and/or distribution
of certain of our other product candidates, including, but not limited to MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy
utilizing autologous cells genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic
growth proteins and certain intelligent devices. In the event we make a determination to suspend
or slow enrollment in the MARVEL Trial, we anticipate that we would continue to use our resources,
to the extent available, to collect follow-up data on the patients treated to date in the MARVEL
Trial.
In our pipeline, we have multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage,
including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose cell treatment for acute heart damage
designed to be used in connection with the TGI 1200 tissue processing system, and MyoCell® SDF-1.
Tissue Genesis, Inc., the entity from whom we have obtained the worldwide right to sell or lease
the TGI 1200, announced on November 13, 2008, that the TGI
1200 had been certified with a CE Marking, thus making the
system available throughout the European marketplace. Additionally,
Tissue Genesis has been seeking 510(k) approval of the TGI 1200 for laboratory use from the FDA.
Tissue Genesis was recently informed by the FDA that it does not believe the use of the TGI 1200
as a laboratory device is eligible for the 510(k) regulatory pathway. We understand that Tissue
Genesis is in the process of evaluating the regulatory pathway that should be pursued for the TGI
1200 device. We hope to demonstrate that our various product candidates are safe and effective
complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.
Intelligent Devices Distribution Agreements
Effective as of October 30, 2008, we entered into a distribution agreement with Monebo
Technologies, Inc. (Monebo) pursuant to which we were granted non-exclusive rights to distribute
Monebos CardioBelt system throughout North America and Western Europe. This system provides ECG
monitoring to heart patients from the comfort of their own home. We are required to meet certain
annual minimum purchase commitments under the distribution agreement. The 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 180 days notice for any reason or
by either party immediately upon the other partys uncured default. In addition, Monebo may
terminate the agreement in the event we do not satisfy our annual minimum purchase commitment. We
intend to commence distribution of the CardioBelt system during
the first quarter of 2009. Distribution plans are expected to be finalized
during the fourth quarter of 2008.
29
Table of Contents
In connection with the distribution agreement, we also entered into a Master Software License
Agreement with Monebo pursuant to which Monebo has granted us a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable,
non-transferable license to certain software and algorithms to be used in connection with the
CardioBelt system. We have paid Monebo an upfront cash fee for this license and will be required
to pay certain additional fees upon installation. We will also be required to pay to Monebo
royalty fees per patient and software maintenance fees.
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 patients 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 partys default.
We were incorporated in the state of Florida in August 1999. Our principal executive offices
are located at 13794 NW 4th Street, Suite 212, Sunrise, Florida 33325 and our telephone number is
(954) 835-1500. Information about us is available on our corporate web site at www.bioheartinc.com.

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. We believe the following policies are important to
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:
Share-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.
30
Table of Contents
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 lead 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.
We initially recorded payments received by us pursuant to our agreements with Advanced
Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (ACS), originally a subsidiary of Guidant Corporation and now d/b/a
Abbott Vascular, a division of Abbott Laboratories, as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on
a pro rata basis as the catheters are delivered pursuant to those agreements.
We initially recorded payments received by us pursuant to a clinical supply agreement entered
into in August 2007 with BHK, Inc. (BHK) as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on a pro
rata basis as the cell-culturing services are provided and are shown in development revenues. The
costs associated with earning these revenues are expensed as incurred and are included in research
and development expenses in our statements of operations. In February 2005, we entered into a joint
venture agreement with Bioheart Korea, Inc., BHKs predecessor entity, pursuant to which we and BHK
agreed to create a joint venture company now known as Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. The Company owns
an 18% equity interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc.
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
Revenues
We recognized revenues of $7,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
revenues of $47,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Our revenue in the three months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was generated from the sale of MyoCath catheters to parties other
than ACS. The decrease in revenue in 2008 is due to a decrease in units shipped.
We recognized revenues of $50,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
revenues of $255,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our revenue in the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 was generated solely from the sale of MyoCath catheters to parties other
than ACS. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we delivered 30 MyoCath catheters to ACS
pursuant to our agreement with them. In connection with these shipments, we recognized $191,000 of
revenue. In the 2007 period, we also recognized revenue of $64,000 from the shipment of MyoCath
catheters to parties other than ACS.
Development revenues
During 2007, we received an upfront payment of $103,000 pursuant to our clinical registry
supply agreement with BHK. At December 31, 2007, we had not completed all of the cell-culturing
services required by the agreement. Based on the amount of cell-culturing services completed as of
December 31, 2007, $82,000 of the upfront payment was recorded as deferred revenue. This $82,000
was recognized as development revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, we also generated $15,000 from a paid registry trial in
Switzerland.
We recognized development revenues of $20,500 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007. Both of these amounts were recognized as revenues upon completion of the cell-culturing
services required by the agreement with BHK.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $3,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $18,000
in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of sales was $11,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 as compared to $52,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The cost per
catheter delivered to parties other than ACS in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
was approximately the same as the cost per catheter delivered in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007. However, a portion of the catheters sold in the nine months ended September 30,
2008 had no inventory cost as they had been written off in prior years.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30,
2008, an increase of $90,000 from research and development expenses of $2.1 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in costs
related to our MARVEL Trial and advanced research and business development, which was partially
offset by a reduction in costs related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials. Of the expenses incurred
in the three months ended September 30, 2008, approximately $1.3 million related to our MARVEL
Trial, approximately $225,000 related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials and approximately $112,000
related to advanced research and development projects.
32
Table of Contents
Research and development expenses were $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2008, a decrease of $261,000 from research and development expenses of $5.3 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the
amount of sponsored research and a reduction in costs related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials,
which were partially offset by an increase in costs related to our MARVEL Trial. Of the expenses
incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately $2.4 million related to our
MARVEL Trial, approximately $542,000 related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials and approximately
$491,000 related to advanced research and development projects.
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 by the end
of November 2008...
Marketing, General and Administrative
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1.7 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2008, an increase of $965,000 from marketing, general and administrative expenses of
$771,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in marketing, general and
administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation and
an increase in legal fees, insurance costs, consulting fees subsequent to the completion of our IPO
in February 2008.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $4.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, an increase of $2.2 million from marketing, general and administrative expenses
of $2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in marketing, general and
administrative expenses is attributable, in part, to an increase in stock-based compensation of
approximately $900,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we also experienced an
increase in legal fees, insurance costs and consulting fees subsequent to the completion of our IPO
in February 2008.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income
was $2,000 and $44,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively,
compared to interest income of $134,000 and $250,000 in the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest income for the periods was primarily attributable
to lower cash balances and lower interest rates earned in the three and nine months ended September
30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2007.
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 6.50% (prime plus 1.5%),
respectively, at September 30, 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 $492,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
interest expense of $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Interest incurred on
the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors
totaled $293,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $377,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 2007.
33
Table of Contents
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 $197,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Interest expense was $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
interest expense of $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Interest incurred on
the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors
totaled $896,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $471,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. 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 $1.0
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1.3 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 2008, we continued to finance our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated
from financing activities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.0 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2008 as compared to $6.9 million of cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflected a net
loss generated during the period of $11.6 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based
compensation of $1.2 million, amortization of the fair value of warrants granted in connection with
the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $665,000, amortization of loan costs incurred in
connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $352,000 and warrants issued in
exchange for services and in connection with a settlement agreement totaling $339,000,. An
increase in prepaid and other current assets of $1.1 million also contributed to our use of
operating cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The significant increase in
prepaid expenses and other current assets was due to upfront payments under an agreement with the
contract research organization that we are utilizing for the MARVEL Trial. Partially offsetting
these uses of cash were increases in accrued expenses of $803,000 and accounts payable of $270,000.
Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily
attributable to net losses of $9.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as amortization of the
fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of
$1.1 million, stock-based compensation of $685,000, and amortization of loan costs incurred in
connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $226,000. An increase in prepaid and
other current assets of $318,000 and an increase in inventory of $233,000 also contributed to our
use of operating cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Partially offsetting these
uses of cash were increases in accounts payable of $547,000 and an increase in accrued expenses of
$252,000.
Net cash used in investing activities was $18,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008
as compared to $61,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. All of the cash utilized in
investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 related to our
acquisition of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2008. On February 22, 2008 we completed our IPO of common stock pursuant to which we sold
1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $5.25 for net proceeds of $1.45 million.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflects our
receipt of approximately $4.24 million of Proceeds from initial public offering of common stock,
net. The $4.24 million cash proceeds figure is approximately $2.79 million higher than the $1.45
million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our payment of $2.79 million of various
offering expenses prior to January 1, 2008.

Table of Contents
In August 2008, we obtained a $1.0 million loan, which accrues interest at the rate of 13.5%
per annum, is payable in one balloon payment upon the later of November 20, 2008 or the Companys
repayment of the BlueCrest Loan, which is scheduled to mature in May 2010.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we repaid $1.2 million of principal on the
BlueCrest Loan and used $205,000 of cash to pay costs incurred in connection with the extensions of
the maturity date of the Bank of America Loan.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.4 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2007. In June 2007, we borrowed funds pursuant to both the BlueCrest Loan and the Bank of
America Loan, each in the principal amount of $5.0 million. We also generated $4.0 million from our
issuance of common stock. These sources of cash were partially offset by $1.9 million related to
the payment of offering costs related to our IPO and $775,000 related to the payment of costs
incurred in connection with obtaining the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan.
Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements
Our lead product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material
revenues. We do not expect to generate any material revenues or cash from sales of our lead product
candidate until 2010, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from
operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant and increasing net losses and
negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Historically, we have relied on
proceeds from the private placement of our common stock, our incurrence of debt and our IPO of our
common stock in February 2008 to provide the funds necessary to conduct our research and
development activities and to meet our other cash needs.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm dated March 19, 2008 in
connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2007 included an
explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents
totaling $328,000; however, our working capital deficit as of such date was $13.1 million. Between
October 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, we generated net proceeds of $2.1 million in a private
placement. As of October 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.0 million.
If we continue to defer approximately $1.0 million of payables and continue to defer our payment of
$3.0 million to Cell Transplants International (see Part II., Item 1A. Legal Proceedings), we
project that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to finance our operations through the
end of November 2008.
We currently have no commitments or arrangements from third parties for any additional
financing to fund our research and development and/or other operations. We are 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, we may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or
current shareholders. We may also seek to satisfy some of our obligations to the Guarantors through
the issuance of various forms of securities or debt on negotiated terms. However, financing and/or
alternative arrangements with the Guarantors may not be available when we need it, or may not be
available on acceptable terms.

Table of Contents
If we are unable to defer the payments discussed above and secure additional financing by the
end of November 2008, we may be forced to:
| curtail or abandon our existing business plan; | ||
| reduce our headcount; | ||
| default on our debt obligations under the BlueCrest Loan; | ||
| file for bankruptcy; |
| seek to sell some or all of our assets; and/or | ||
| cease our operations. |
Our ability to continue to enroll patients in the MARVEL Trial in accordance with our targeted
trial schedule is contingent on our ability to secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end
of November 2008. If we do not secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end of November
2008, we anticipate that we will be required to suspend the MARVEL Trial or more significantly
defer the enrollment and treatment of patients in the MARVEL Trial. Such actions will, at a
minimum, delay our projected date for completing the MARVEL Trial. Since our inception, we have
invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in MyoCell, and depend
heavily on its success. The MARVEL Trial is our only ongoing clinical trial of MyoCell and a
suspension of this trial will delay, potentially significantly, our proposed timeline for seeking
regulatory approval of and commercializing MyoCell. If the MARVEL Trial is terminated for any
reason, we believe we will be able to recover a significant portion of the $878,000 in upfront
payments made under the agreement with the contract research organization that we are utilizing for
the MARVEL Trial.
In the event of an uncured default of the BlueCrest Loan, the agreement provides that all
amounts owed to BlueCrest Capital are immediately due and payable and that BlueCrest Capital has
the right to enforce its security interest in the assets securing the BlueCrest Loan. In such
event, BlueCrest Capital could take possession of any or all of our assets in which they hold a
security interest, and dispose of those assets to the extent necessary to pay off our debts, which
would materially harm our business. In the event we are forced to file for bankruptcy protection,
among other things, our license agreement with the Cleveland Clinic with respect to the
intellectual property related to our MyoCell with SDF-1 product candidate indicates that it will
automatically terminate.
Our ability to obtain additional debt financing and/or alternative arrangements with the
Guarantors may be limited by the amount of, terms and restrictions of our then current debt. For
instance, we do not anticipate repaying the BlueCrest Loan until its scheduled maturity in May
2010. Accordingly, until such time, we will generally be restricted from, among other things,
incurring additional indebtedness or liens, with limited exceptions. Additional debt financing, if
available, may involve restrictive covenants that limit or further limit our operating and
financial flexibility and prohibit us from making distributions to shareholders.
If we enter into loan agreements with our executive officers, directors, and/or shareholders,
although our Audit Committee will be required to approve the terms of any such transaction, there
can be no assurances that these arrangements will be advantageous to us, that conflicts of interest
will not arise with respect to such transactions, or that if such conflicts arise, they will be
resolved in a manner favorable to us.
If we raise additional capital and/or secure alternative arrangements with the Guarantors by
issuing equity, equity-related or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of
our existing shareholders may be diluted, and those newly issued securities may be issued at prices
that are a significant discount to current and/or then prevailing market prices. In addition, any
such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we obtain
additional capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be
required to relinquish greater rights to our technologies or product candidates than we might
otherwise have or become subject to restrictive covenants that may affect our business.

BlueCrest Loan
On May 31, 2007, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BlueCrest Capital Finance,
L.P. pursuant to which they agreed to provide us a three-year, $5.0 million term loan. The
transaction closed on June 1, 2007. The first three months of the BlueCrest Loan required payment
of interest only with equal principal and interest payments over the remaining 33 months. Interest
accrues at an annual rate of 12.85%. As consideration for the loan, we issued to BlueCrest Capital
a warrant to purchase 65,030 shares of our 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 amount was accounted for as
additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs to be amortized as
interest expense over the term of the BlueCrest Loan using the effective interest method. We also
paid BlueCrest Capital a fee of $100,000 to cover diligence and other costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the loan.
We may voluntarily prepay the BlueCrest Loan in whole but not in part. However, we are subject
to a prepayment penalty equal to 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 our repayment obligations to BlueCrest Capital, we have granted them a first
priority security interest in all of our assets, excluding our intellectual property but including
the proceeds from any sale of any of our intellectual property.
Pursuant to the agreement, we may not, among other things:
| incur additional indebtedness, except for certain permitted indebtedness. Permitted indebtedness is defined to include accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business, leases of equipment or property incurred in the ordinary course of business not to exceed, in the aggregate, $250,000, any unsecured debt less than $20,000 or any debt not secured by the collateral pledged to BlueCrest that is subordinated to the rights of BlueCrest pursuant to a subordination agreement satisfactory to BlueCrest in its sole discretion; | ||
| make any principal, interest or other payments arising under or in connection with our loan from Bank of America or any other debt subordinate to the BlueCrest Loan; | ||
| incur additional liens on any of our assets, including any liens on our intellectual property, except for certain permitted liens including but not limited to non-exclusive licenses or sub-licenses of our intellectual property in the ordinary course of business and licenses or sub-licenses of intellectual property in connection with joint ventures and corporate collaborations (provided that any proceeds from such licenses be used to pay down the BlueCrest Loan); | ||
| voluntarily prepay any debt prior to maturity, except for accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business, leases of equipment or property incurred in the ordinary course of business not to exceed, in the aggregate, $250,000 and any unsecured debt less than $20,000; |
| convey, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of property, except for sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, sales of obsolete or unneeded equipment and transfers of our intellectual property related to product candidates other than MyoCell or MyoCell SDF-1 to a currently operating or newly formed wholly owned subsidiary; |
37
Table of Contents
| merge with or acquire any other entity if we would not be the surviving person following such transaction; | ||
| pay dividends (other than stock dividends) to our shareholders; | ||
| redeem any outstanding shares of our common stock or any outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock except in connection with a share repurchase pursuant to which we offer to pay our then existing shareholders not more than $250,000; | ||
| enter into transactions with affiliates other than on arms-length terms; and |
| make any change in any of our business objectives, purposes and operations which has or could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. |
We also are subject to certain affirmative covenants, including but not limited to,
maintaining the collateral in good operating condition and providing BlueCrest with certain
financial information on a periodic basis.
In the event of an uncured event of default under the BlueCrest Loan, all amounts owed to
BlueCrest Capital are immediately due and payable and BlueCrest Capital has the right to enforce
its security interest in the assets securing the BlueCrest Loan. Events of default include, among
others, our failure to timely make payments of principal when due, our uncured failure to timely
pay any other amounts owing to BlueCrest Capital under the Loan and Security Agreement, our
material breach of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan and Security Agreement,
any material misstatement in any financial statement, report or certificate delivered under the
Loan and Security Agreement, our uncured breach of any filing of a notice of lien with respect to
any of the collateral securing the BlueCrest Loan, the entry of a money judgment against us in
excess of $100,000, a change of control of the Company, the entry of a court order that prevents us
from conducting all or any material part of our business and our default in the payment of any debt
to any of our 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.
Bank of America Loan
On June 1, 2007 (the Closing Date) we entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America
pursuant to which Bank of America agreed to provide us with an eight-month, $5.0 million term loan
(the Bank of America Loan) to be used for working capital purposes. The Bank of America Loan
bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%. The prime rate was 5.00% as of September 30, 2008. As
consideration for the Bank of America Loan, we paid Bank of America a fee of $100,000. Effective as
of January 31, 2008, the maturity date of the Bank of America Loan was extended until June 1, 2008.
On June 1, 2008, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until January 5,
2009. As consideration for the first extension of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee
of $50,000. As consideration for the second extension of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America
a fee of $75,000. Under the terms of the Bank of America 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.
38
Table of Contents
We did not pledge any assets to Bank of America as security for this loan. However, certain of
our officers, directors and shareholders (collectively, the Guarantors) have provided limited
personal guarantees and/or pledged collateral to secure the Bank of America Loan. More
specifically, as of September 30, 2008, the Bank of America Loan is secured by:
| a $3.3 million limited personal guarantee provided by Mr. Howard J. Leonhardt, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer, and his spouse, which guarantee is secured by the Leonhardts pledge of securities accounts with Bank of America; | ||
| $750,000 of collateral provided by Dr. Samuel S. Ahn, who is a shareholder and was a member of our Board of Directors until September 2008; | ||
| $400,000 of collateral provided by Dr. William P. Murphy, Jr., who is a member of our Board of Directors; and | ||
| an aggregate of $1.1 million of collateral provided by two of our current shareholders. |
We and Bank of America have agreed with BlueCrest Capital that we will not individually make
any payments due under the Bank of America Loan while the BlueCrest Loan is outstanding. For our
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.
We have 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 security for the Bank of America Loan.
We have agreed to pay these amounts to the Guarantors upon our repayment in full of the BlueCrest
Loan. Interest due on the principal amount of the Bank of America Loan totaling $432,000 has been
paid by the Guarantors. As of September 30, 2008, we also owe the Guarantors a total of $429,000 in
interest and fees in connection with their provision of security for the Bank of America Loan. Both
of these amounts are included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2008.
We have agreed with Dr. Murphy to use our reasonable best efforts to secure an additional
person willing to provide collateral to secure the Bank of America Loan in substitution of the
$400,000 of collateral being provided by Dr. Murphy and, until Dr. Murphys obligations to Bank of
America have been released or satisfied in full, use our reasonable best efforts to restructure,
amend or renew the Bank of America Loan in an effort to extend the maturity date of the Bank of
America Loan.
Short-term note payable
On August 20, 2008, we 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 later of
November 20, 2008 or our repayment of the BlueCrest Loan, which is scheduled to mature in May 2010.
In the event we complete a private placement of our common stock and/or securities exercisable for
or convertible into our common stock which generates at least $19.0 million of gross proceeds, we
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. Subject to certain conditions, at
the end of each calendar quarter during the time the loan is outstanding, we may, but are not
required to, prepay all or any portion of the interest accrued but unpaid as of such date with
shares of our common stock.
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.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary market risk exposure with respect to interest rates is changes in short-term
interest rates in the U.S., particularly because certain of our debt arrangements represent
floating rate debt and we are subject to interest rate risk. We do not use any interest rate risk
management contracts to manage our fixed-to-floating ratio. The impact on our results of operations
from a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not be significant.
The majority of our investments are expected to be in short-term debt securities. The primary
objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing
the income we receive without significantly increasing risk. To reduce risk, we maintain our cash
and cash equivalents in short-term interest-bearing instruments, including certificates of deposit
and overnight funds. We do not have any derivative financial investments in our investment
portfolio.
Item 4T. | 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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. Based on such
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the
end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the
time frames specified in the SECs rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
On March 9, 2007, Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants Asia, Limited (the Plaintiffs)
filed a complaint against us and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, in the United States District
Court, Western District of Tennessee. On February 7, 2000, we entered into a license agreement (the
Original Law License Agreement) with Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International, the predecessor
entity to Cell Transplants Asia, Limited, pursuant to which Dr. Law and Cell Transplants
International granted us a license to certain patents, including the patent that we rely upon to
protect our MyoCell product candidate (the Law IP). The parties executed an addendum to the
Original Law License Agreement (the License Addendum) in July 2000, the provisions of which
amended a number of terms of the Original License Agreement.
More specifically, the License Addendum provided, among other things:
| The parties agreed that we would issue, and we did issue, to Cell Transplants International a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, issuing to Cell Transplants International or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of our common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of our 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 our obligation to pay Cell Transplants International a $3 million milestone payment would be triggered upon our commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial that utilizes technology claimed under the Law IP instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, upon initiation of an FDA approved human clinical study of such technology in the United States. This $3 million payment is included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. |
The Plaintiffs are alleging and seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the
License Addendum fails for lack of consideration. Based upon this argument, the Plaintiffs allege
that we are in breach of the terms of the Original Law License Agreement for failure to, among
other things, (i) issue to Cell Transplants International or Dr. Law the 600,000 shares of our
common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock contemplated by the
Original Law License Agreement and (ii) pay Cell Transplants International the $3 million milestone
payment upon our commencement of an FDA approved human clinical study of MyoCell in the United
States.
The Plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, certain other breaches of the Original Law
License Agreement not modified by the License Addendum including a purported breach of our
obligation to pay Plaintiffs royalties on gross sales of products that directly read upon the
claims of the Law IP and a purported breach of the contractual restriction on sublicensing the Law
IP to third parties. The Plaintiffs are also alleging that we and Mr. Leonhardt engaged in a civil
conspiracy against the Plaintiffs and that the court should toll any periods of limitation running
against the Plaintiffs to bring any causes of action arising from or which could arise from the
alleged breaches.
In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum is not enforceable,
the Plaintiffs are also seeking an accounting of all revenues, remunerations or benefits derived by
us or Mr. Leonhardt from sales, provision and/or distribution of products and services that read
directly on the Law IP, compensatory and punitive monetary damages and preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief to prohibit us from sublicensing our rights to third parties.
41
Table of Contents
We believe this lawsuit is without merit and have defended the action vigorously. We filed a
motion to dismiss the proceeding against both us and Mr. Leonhardt. On July 26, 2007, the court
granted our motion to dismiss Mr. Leonhardt in his individual capacity and one count of the
complaint alleging a civil conspiracy claim. The court denied our motion to dismiss all other
claims. We thereafter filed and served our answer to the Plaintiffs complaint. We have asserted
counterclaims against the Plaintiffs for declaratory judgment that the License Addendum is a valid
and subsisting agreement, and for breach of contract with respect to various obligations undertaken
by the Plaintiffs in the Original License Agreement, as amended by the License Addendum. We are
seeking approximately $10 million in damages from Plaintiffs pursuant to our counterclaims.
The action was tried before the court in September 2008. The parties are currently awaiting
receipt of the trial transcript, after which they will have 30-45 days to file post-trial briefs
and proposed findings of facts and conclusions of law. The courts decision could come anytime
thereafter.
There is a risk that the court may find in favor of the Plaintiffs. The Companys current
cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of the
Plaintiffs. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the
BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan and have a significant adverse impact on our financial
condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts. See Item 1A. Risk Factors
- Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of
Dr. Law and Cell Transplants; there is a risk that a court could award such a judgment.
Except as described above, we are not presently engaged in any material litigation and 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. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a
discussion of various litigation related risks we face.

Table of Contents
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended
by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.
The risks and uncertainties described below and disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A are not
the only ones facing us. Other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem
immaterial also may affect our results of operations and financial condition. If any events
described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects and
financial condition could be materially harmed. In connection with the forward-looking statements
that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report, you should also carefully review the cautionary
statement referred to under Part I. Item 2 Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.
********************************
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Potential Need for Additional Financing
We will need to secure additional financing by the end of November 2008 in order to continue to
finance our operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may
be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $328,000 and a
working capital deficit of $13.1 million. Between October 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, we
generated net proceeds of approximately $2.1 million in a private placement. As of October 31,
2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.0 million. If we continue to defer
approximately $1.0 million of payables and continue to defer our payment of $3.0 million to Cell
Transplants International, we project that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to
finance our operations through the end of November 2008.
We currently have no commitments or arrangements from third parties for any additional
financing to fund our research and development and/or other operations. We are 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, we may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or
current shareholders. We may also seek to satisfy some of our obligations to the Guarantors through
the issuance of various forms of securities or debt on negotiated terms. However, financing and/or
alternative arrangements with the Guarantors may not be available when we need it, or may not be
available on acceptable terms.
If we are unable to defer the payments discussed above and secure additional financing by the
end of November 2008, we may be forced to:
| curtail or abandon our existing business plan, | ||
| reduce our headcount; | ||
| default on our debt obligations under the BlueCrest Loan; | ||
| file for bankruptcy; |
| seek to sell some or all of our assets; and/or | ||
| cease our operations. |
If we are forced to take any of these steps, any investment in our common stock may be worthless.

Our ability to continue to enroll patients in the MARVEL Trial in accordance with our targeted
trial schedule is contingent on our ability to secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end
of November 2008. If we do not secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end of November
2008, we anticipate that we will be required to suspend the MARVEL Trial or more significantly
defer the enrollment and treatment of patients in the MARVEL Trial. Such actions will, at a
minimum, delay our projected date for completing the MARVEL Trial. Since our inception, we have
invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in MyoCell, and depend
heavily on its success. The MARVEL Trial is our only ongoing clinical trial of MyoCell and a
suspension of this trial will delay, potentially significantly, our proposed timeline for seeking
regulatory approval of and commercializing MyoCell.
In the event of an uncured default of the BlueCrest Loan, the agreement provides that all
amounts owed to BlueCrest Capital are immediately due and payable and that BlueCrest Capital has
the right to enforce its security interest in the assets securing the BlueCrest Loan. In such
event, BlueCrest Capital could take possession of any or all of our assets in which they hold a
security interest, and dispose of those assets to the extent necessary to pay off our debts, which
would materially harm our business. In the event we are forced to file for bankruptcy protection,
among other things, our license agreement with the Cleveland Clinic with respect to the
intellectual property related to our MyoCell with SDF-1 product candidate will automatically
terminate.
Our ability to obtain additional debt financing and/or alternative arrangements with the
Guarantors may be limited by the amount of, terms and restrictions of our then current debt. For
instance, we do not anticipate repaying the BlueCrest Loan until its scheduled maturity in May
2010. Accordingly, until such time, we will generally be restricted from, among other things,
incurring additional indebtedness or liens, with limited exceptions. See We have a substantial
amount of debt... and Our outstanding indebtedness to BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. imposes
certain restrictions... in Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A. Additional
debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that limit or further limit our
operating and financial flexibility and prohibit us from making distributions to shareholders.
If we enter into loan agreements with our executive officers, directors, and/or shareholders,
although our Audit Committee will be required to approve the terms of any such transaction, there
can be no assurances that these arrangements will be advantageous to us, that conflicts of interest
will not arise with respect to such transactions, or that if such conflicts arise, they will be
resolved in a manner favorable to us.
If we raise additional capital and/or secure alternative arrangements with the Guarantors by
issuing equity, equity-related or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of
our existing shareholders may be diluted, and those newly issued securities may be issued at prices
that are a significant discount to current and/or then prevailing market prices. In addition, any
such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we obtain
additional capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be required to relinquish greater
rights to our technologies or product candidates than we might otherwise have or become subject to
restrictive covenants that may affect our business.
The Global Credit Crisis and Market Downturn has had a negative impact on our ability to obtain
additional financing. Our inability to obtain additional financing would have a significant adverse
effect on our operations.
In early 2008, as the United States economy began to soften and fuel and other commodity
prices began to rise, doubts were raised about the ability of borrowers to pay debts. Housing
values began to fall and marginal loans were first to default, triggering the sub-prime lending
crisis. Financial institutions responded by tightening their lending policies with respect to
counterparties determined to have sub-prime mortgage risk. This tightening of institutional lending
policies led to the failure of major financial institutions late in the third quarter of 2008.
Continued failures, losses, and write-downs at major financial institutions through October

2008 intensified concerns about credit and liquidity risks and have resulted in a sharp
reduction in overall market liquidity and broad governmental intervention. The global credit crisis
threatens the stability of the global economy and has adversely impacted consumer confidence and
spending. We believe this global credit crisis has also had a negative impact on our ability to
obtain additional financing. As discussed above, our inability to obtain additional financing would
have a significant adverse effect on our operations.
Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of
the Dr. Law and Cell Transplants; there is a risk that a court could award such a judgment.
In September 2008, the litigation between us, on the one hand, and Dr. Law and Cell
Transplants International, the licensors of the Law IP, on the other hand, was tried before the
court. If the courts decision is adverse to us and we are ordered to pay significant damages to
Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International, we do not believe our current cash reserves will be
sufficient to satisfy any such judgment. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute
a default under the BlueCrest Loan and the Bank of America Loan and have a significant adverse
impact on our financial condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.
Our common stock may be de-listed from the NASDAQ Capital Market.
The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. has established certain standards for the
continued listing of a security on The NASDAQ Capital Market. These standards require, among other
things, that a listed issuer have either (i) listed securities with a market value of at least $35
million, (ii) minimum stockholders equity of $2.5 million in the most recently completed fiscal
year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years (the Stockholders Equity Test)
or (iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently competed fiscal
year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years (the Net Income Test). We do
not satisfy either the Stockholders Equity Test or the Net Income Test. In addition, on October
15, 2008, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (the NASDAQ Letter) advising that,
for the preceding ten consecutive trading days, the market value of our listed securities had been
below the minimum $35 million requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
The NASDAQ has provided us until November 14, 2008 (the Compliance Period) to regain compliance
with the listing standards, which would require, at a minimum, that the market value of our listed
securities equal or exceed $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days during the
Compliance Period.
As of the filing date of this report, we do not anticipate regaining compliance with the
minimum market value requirement within the Compliance Period. Accordingly, we expect that NASDAQ
will provide us with written notification that our common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ
Capital Market. At that time, we may appeal the determination by the NASDAQ Staff to delist our
common stock to a Listing Qualifications Panel. There can be no assurances that any such appeal,
if made, will be successful.
If we are unsuccessful in maintaining our NASDAQ listing, then we may pursue listing and
trading of our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or another securities exchange
or association with different listing standards than NASDAQ. We anticipate the change in listings
may result in a reduction in some or all of the following, each of which could have a material
adverse effect on our investors:
| the liquidity of our common stock; | ||
| the market price of our common stock; | ||
| our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; | ||
| the number of institutional investors that will consider investing in our common stock; | ||
| the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common stock; | ||
| the number of market makers in our common stock; | ||
| the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and | ||
| the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock. |

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.93 per share and an aggregate
exercise price of $493,000 in an unregistered transaction pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. During the quarter ended September
30, 2008, we also issued a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $3.60 per share and an aggregate exercise price of $18,000 in an unregistered transaction
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Between October 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, we sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of
1,230,280 shares of our common stock and warrants (the Warrants) to purchase 369,084 shares of
our common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.14 million. The Warrants
are (i) exercisable solely for cash at a weighted average exercise price of $2.09 per share, (ii)
non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one
day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of
issuance.
In connection with the Private Placement, we paid to a finder who introduced certain investors
to us aggregate cash fees of $24,325 and warrants to purchase 24,325 shares of common stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $1.95 per share. The warrants issued to the finder have the same
terms and conditions as the Warrants issued in the private placement.
The purchasers of the securities have been granted piggyback registration rights to
participate in certain registrations that we may effect.
The sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration in reliance on
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as
transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. All recipients were accredited
investors, as such term is defined in the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. The recipients of securities in the private placement represented their intention to
acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with
any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and other
instruments issued in such transactions.
