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 stem 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 stem 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 June 30, 2008, the results
of its operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and its cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and cash flows for the six-month period ended June
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.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six-months ended June 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.
The net cash proceeds from the IPO have been and are expected to continue to be 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 June 30, 2008, prepaid expenses
included approximately $1.9 million in upfront payments to the contract research organization, of
which $1.3 million had been paid and the remainder is included in accounts payable. 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
the Company had net deferred loan costs of $662,928 and $1,146,716, respectively. For the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $203,655 and $206,260, respectively, of
interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which included $105,217 and
$155,856, respectively, related to the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $819,676 and $206,260,
respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which
included $561,757 and $155,856, 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.

Bioheart, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage enterprise)
(A development stage enterprise)
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
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 4,906,532 and 4,152,932 shares of
common stock at June 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 effect of applying this consensus will depend on the terms of the Companys future research and
development contractual arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2008.
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.
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 cumulative statement 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 over the past several years and has a deficit accumulated during the development
stage of $89.7 million as of June 30, 2008. In addition, as of June 30, 2008, the Companys current
liabilities exceed its current assets by $8.9 million. Current liabilities include notes payable of
$6.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company generated approximately $4.2
million of cash on a net basis as a result of its IPO. However, the IPO proceeds are 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 August 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, 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 June 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) will pay a maintenance fee of $150,000 per year for the
duration of the license starting in the second year; 4) 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 5) 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 June 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 one of the Guarantors who has not yet signed the extension
documents execute such documents by September 15, 2008. 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 to be 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 to be 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 to be 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
expensed 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
June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $83,000 and $41,000, respectively. The amount of
interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 totaled approximately $181,000 and $41,000, respectively. Fees and interest payable to the
Guarantors, which are recorded to interest expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 totaled approximately $77,000 and $23,000, respectively. Fees and interest payable to the
Guarantors for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $155,000 and
$23,000, respectively.
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 is not exercisable until 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
June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $127,000 and $54,000, respectively. The amount of
interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 totaled approximately $266,000 and $54,000, respectively.

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 July 30, 2008, the Companys shareholders approved an amendment to Biohearts Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 75 million.
Commencing in 2006, the Company initiated capital raising activities through the use of a
private placement. During the six-month period ended June 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 |
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.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six month period ended June
30, 2008 was $2.38 per share.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized $859,131 in stock-based
compensation costs of which $44,725 represented research and development expense and the remaining
amount was marketing, general and administrative expense. For the six-month period ended June 30,
2008, the Company recognized $1,071,546 in stock-based compensation costs of which $91,619
represented research and development expense and the remaining amount was 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 June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.9 million of unrecognized
compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards that is expected to be recognized over
the next four 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 six-month periods ended June 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.

The Company does not have a formal plan in place for the issuance of stock warrants.
However, at times, the Company will issue warrants to both employees and non-employees or in
connection with financing transactions. The exercise price, vesting period, and term of these
warrants is determined by the Companys Board of Directors at the time of issuance. As of June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had warrants outstanding for the purchase of shares of the
Companys common stock of 2,447,609 and 2,251,836, respectively. During the six months ended June
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 and a
warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share in
settlement of pending litigation. The warrant issued in settlement of pending litigation vested
immediately upon issuance and expires on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. In addition,
as discussed in Note 4, pursuant to the terms of the agreements evidencing the warrants issued to
the Guarantors of the Bank of America Loan, the number of shares of common stock subject to such
warrants was increased by an aggregate of 78,773 shares as of June 1, 2008. The following

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of
warrants on the date of issuance. The Companys expected volatility is based on the historical
volatility of other publicly traded development stage companies in the same industry. The expected
life of the warrants is based primarily on the contractual life of the warrants. 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 warrants.
For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of each
warrant issued, excluding the warrant to purchase 77,000 shares of the Companys common stock
issued to the representative of the several underwriters of the Companys IPO, was estimated on the
date of issuance using the following weighted-average assumptions.

The weighted average fair value of warrants granted during the six month period ended
June 30, 2008 was $2.15 per share.
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 has been reserved for issuance under
the Omnibus Plan.
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.
21

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 intends to defend 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 has filed and served its answer to
the Plaintiffs complaint. The Company has also 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. Trial of the action is currently scheduled
for September 22, 2008.
On July 11, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to
one claim of its complaint asserting that there is no material issue of fact regarding the
Companys obligation to pay the Plaintiffs $3.0 million pursuant to the provisions of the Original
License Agreement, as amended by the License Addendum, which calls for such payment upon
commencement of a bona fide Phase II clinical trial that utilizes the technology claimed under the
Law IP with FDA approval in the United States. On October 24, 2007, the Company completed the
MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in its MARVEL Trial. The Company has not yet
made the $3 million payment, however the amount is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007. As discussed above, the Company has asserted various defenses and
counterclaims to the Plaintiffs claims, including the Plaintiffs failure to honor certain
contractual obligations to the Company. The Company intends to vigorously oppose the motion for
partial summary judgment and demand a plenary trial of all of the claims and counterclaims asserted
in the action. The Companys response to the motion was filed on August 13, 2008. There is a risk
that the Court may grant the motion, and direct entry of judgment against the Company requiring
payment of the $3.0 million, plus any applicable interest. As in the past, the Company remains open
to reaching a negotiated settlement of all of its disputes with the Plaintiffs. Absent such a
resolution, however, the Companys current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a $3.0
million judgment. 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.
Other
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, as of June 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 exist.

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 June 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 $361,000. 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 June 30,
2008 or December 31, 2007.
10. | Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information |
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued costs incurred in connection with its IPO of
$174,910.
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.
11. | Subsequent Event |
In July 2008, the Company announced it entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire
Medicalgorithmics, Ltd. and the worldwide rights to the POCKET ECG, a real-time wireless
beat-to-beat, intelligent heart monitor and diagnostic system, designed for long-term,
fully-automated electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmia analysis. Under the terms of the non-binding
letter of intent, both companies are expected to conduct their due diligence review within
60-90 days of executing the letter of intent.

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 June 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 July 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $620,000. 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 August 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 August 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. 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 stem 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 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.
In July 2008, we announced that 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 Healthcare A/S (Denmark), 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.

In July 2008, we announced that we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire
Medicalgorithmics, Ltd. and the worldwide rights to the POCKET® ECG, a real-time
wireless beat-to-beat, intelligent heart monitor and diagnostic system, designed for long-term,
fully-automated electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmia analysis. The device, manufactured by
Medicalgorithmics, recently received CE mark approval for marketing throughout Europe. Under the
terms of the non-binding letter of intent, both companies are expected to conduct their due
diligence review within 60-90 days of entering into the letter of intent.
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 TGI 1200 tissue processing system, and MyoCell® SDF-1, a
therapy utilizing autologous cells genetically modified to express additional potentially
therapeutic growth proteins. Tissue Genesis, Inc., the entity from whom we have obtained the
worldwide right to sell or lease the TGI 1200, had 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.

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.
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.
26
Table of Contents
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 $17,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to revenues
of $195,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue in the three months ended June
30, 2008 was generated from the sale of MyoCath catheters to parties other than ACS. In the three
months ended June 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.
We recognized revenues of $43,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to revenues
of $208,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue in the six months ended June 30,
2008 was generated from the sale of MyoCath catheters to parties other than ACS. In the six months
ended June 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 $17,000 from the shipment of MyoCath catheters to parties other than ACS.

Table of Contents
Development revenues
We recognized development revenues of $15,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from a
paid registry trial in Switzerland. We did not recognize any development revenues in the three
months ended June 30, 2007.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized development revenues of $76,500.
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. Of this amount, $61,500
was recognized as revenues in the six-months ended June 30, 2008 upon completion of additional
cell-culturing services. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we also generated $15,000 from
a paid registry trial in Switzerland. We did not recognize any development revenues in the six
months ended June 30, 2007.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $5,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $27,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales was $8,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to $34,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The cost per catheter delivered to
parties other than ACS in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was less than the cost per
catheter delivered in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, a portion of the
catheters sold in the six months ended June 30, 2008 had no inventory cost as they had been written
off in prior years.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008, a
decrease of $300,000 from research and development expenses of $1.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in costs related to our
SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials, which was partially offset by an increase in costs related to our
MARVEL Trial and advanced research and business development. Of the expenses incurred in the three
months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $719,000 related to our MARVEL Trial and approximately
$129,000 related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials.
Research and development expenses were $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, a
decrease of $400,000 from research and development expenses of $3.2 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The decrease is 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 six
months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $1.1 million related to our MARVEL Trial and
approximately $316,000 related to our SEISMIC and MYOHEART Trials.
We expect research and development expenses to increase during 2008 as we move forward with
enrollment in the MARVEL Trial. However, 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 August 2008...

Marketing, General and Administrative
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.0 million from marketing, general and administrative expenses of
$873,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in marketing, general and
administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation of
approximately $670,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we also experienced an
increase in legal, insurance and consulting fees subsequent to the completion of our IPO in
February 2008.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million in the six months ended June
30, 2008, an increase of $1.1 million from marketing, general and administrative expenses of $1.8
million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in marketing, general and
administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation of
approximately $740,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we also experienced an increase
in legal, insurance 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 $8,000 and $42,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to
interest income of $75,000 and $116,000 in the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 June 30, 2008. Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on the
principal amount of these loans, accrued fees payable to 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 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 $497,000 and $1.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively, compared to interest expense of $301,000 in the three and six months ended June
30, 2007. The increase in interest expense between these periods is primarily attributable to the
length of time that the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan were outstanding during such
periods.
Interest incurred on the principal amount of the loans and accrued fees payable to the
guarantors totaled $288,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. Amortization of deferred loan
costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans totaled
$204,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest incurred on the principal amount of the loans and accrued fees payable to the
guarantors totaled $603,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Amortization of deferred loan
costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans totaled
$820,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

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 $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $4.2 million of cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our use of operating cash in the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected a net loss generated
during the period of $7.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as share-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 $562,000 and amortization of loan costs incurred in connection
with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $258,000. An increase in prepaid and other
current assets of $2.1 million also contributed to our use of operating cash during the six months
ended June 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 was an increase in accrued
expenses of $402,000.
Our use of cash for operations in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily
attributable to net losses of $5.0 million, adjusted for non-cash items such as share-based
compensation of $491,000 and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with
the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $156,000. A decrease in deferred revenue of
$191,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $154,000 also contributed
to our use of operating cash during the six months. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were an
increase in accounts payable of $213,000 and an increase in accrued expenses of $126,000.
Net cash used in investing activities was $18,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to $41,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. All of the cash utilized in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 related to our acquisition of property
and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million in the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we repaid $809,000 of principal on the BlueCrest
Loan and paid $187,000 of costs incurred in connection with the extensions of the maturity date of
the Bank of America Loan.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.2 million in the six months ended June 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 $1.1 million related to
the payment of offering costs related to our IPO and $745,000 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 2009, 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.
At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.9 million; however, our working
capital deficit as of such date was $8.9 million. 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.
As of July 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $620,000. 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
August 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, 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 August 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 current
trial schedule is contingent on our ability to secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end
of August 2008. If we do not secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end of August 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 $1.3 million in downpayments made under
the agreement with the contract research organization that we are utilizing for the MARVEL Trial.

Table of Contents
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.
Pursuant to our underwriting agreement, dated February 19, 2008, or the Underwriting Agreement
Date, with Dawson James Securities, Inc., as representative for the underwriters, we have agreed
that we will not, without the consent of Dawson James Securities, Inc. issue any securities (except
for shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options) for 180 days following the
Underwriting Agreement Date, subject to certain customary extension periods. Accordingly, our
ability to obtain additional equity financing during this period is potentially subject to our
obtaining the prior agreement of Dawson James Securities, Inc.
In addition, 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 is not exercisable until 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.
32
Table of Contents
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; | ||
| 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 June 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 provided that one of the Guarantors who has not yet signed the extension documents execute
such documents by September 15, 2008. 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.
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 June 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 member of our Board of Directors; | ||
| $400,000 of collateral provided by Dr. William Murphy, 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.

Table of Contents
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.
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 June 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 June 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.
37
Table of Contents
We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend 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 the civil conspiracy
claim. The court denied our motion to dismiss all other claims. We have filed and served our answer
to the Plaintiffs complaint. We have also 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. Trial of the action is currently scheduled
for September 22, 2008.
On July 11, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to
one claim of its complaint asserting that there is no material issue of fact regarding our
obligation to pay the Plaintiffs $3.0 million pursuant to the provisions of the Original License
Agreement, as amended by the License Addendum, which calls for such payment upon commencement of a
bona fide Phase II clinical trial that utilizes the technology claimed under the Law IP with FDA
approval in the United States. On October 24, 2007, we completed the MyoCell implantation
procedure on the first patient in our MARVEL Trial. We have not yet made the $3 million payment,
however the amount is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. As
discussed above, we have asserted various defenses and counterclaims to the Plaintiffs claims,
including the Plaintiffs failure to honor certain contractual obligations to us. We intend to
vigorously oppose the motion for partial summary judgment and demand a plenary trial of all of the
claims and counterclaims asserted in the action. Our response to the motion was filed on August
13, 2008. There is a risk that the Court may grant the motion, and direct entry of judgment
against the Company requiring payment of the $3.0 million, plus any applicable interest. As in the
past, we remain open to reaching a negotiated settlement of all of our disputes with the
Plaintiffs. Absent such a resolution, however, our current cash reserves are not sufficient to
satisfy a $3.0 million 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 the 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 $3 million
judgment; 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.

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 August 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 June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million and a working capital
deficit of $8.9 million.
As of July 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $620,000. 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 August 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, 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 August 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.

Table of Contents
Our ability to continue to enroll patients in the MARVEL Trial in accordance with our current
trial schedule is contingent on our ability to secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end
of August 2008. If we do not secure $5.0 million of additional capital by the end of August 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.
Pursuant to our underwriting agreement, dated February 19, 2008, or the Underwriting Agreement
Date, with Dawson James Securities, Inc., as representative for the underwriters, we have agreed
that we will not, without the consent of Dawson James Securities, Inc. issue any securities (except
for shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options) for 180 days following the
Underwriting Agreement Date, subject to certain customary extension periods. Accordingly, our
ability to obtain additional equity financing during this period is potentially subject to our
obtaining the prior agreement of Dawson James Securities, Inc.
In addition, 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.

Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a $3 million judgment; there is a risk that
a court could award such a judgment.
On July 11, 2008, Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants International, the licensors of the
Law IP filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to one claim of its complaint
currently pending against us seeking immediate entry of judgment against us for $3.0 million, plus
applicable interest. Trial of the action, which is before the United States District Court for the
Western District of Tennessee, is currently scheduled to begin on September 22, 2008. The motion
for partial summary judgment asserts that there is no material issue of fact regarding our
obligation to pay Dr. Law and Cell Transplants $3.0 million pursuant to the provisions of the
License Agreement, as amended, between us, Dr. Law and Cell Transplants, which calls for such
payment upon commencement of a bona fide Phase II clinical trial that utilizes the technology
claimed under the Law IP with FDA approval in the United States.
As previously disclosed, we have asserted various defenses and counterclaims to Dr. Laws and
Cell Transplants claims, including Dr. Laws and Cell Transplant Internationals failure to honor
certain contractual obligations to us. These obligations include Dr. Laws and Cell Transplants
contractual obligations to supply us with cultured myoblasts, provide us with all pertinent and
critical information necessary for us to file an investigational new drug application (IND) with
the FDA for MyoCell and have it approved by the FDA, including information concerning the cell
culturing process and pre-clinical testing data, as well as their obligation to conduct research of
mutual interest with $500,000 in funding we provided. As a result of Dr. Laws and Cell
Transplants failure to fulfill these and other obligations, we were forced to incur substantial
costs for, among other things, preparing and obtaining approval for the IND for MyoCell and
developing cell culturing processes when Dr. Law and Cell Transplants failed to supply us with
cultured myoblasts, as required. We have vigorously opposed the motion for partial summary
judgment and demanded a plenary trial of all of the claims and counterclaims asserted in the
action. Our response to the motion was filed on August 13, 2008.
There is a risk that the Court may grant the motion, and direct entry of judgment against us
requiring payment of the $3.0 million, plus any applicable interest. As in the past, we remain open
to reaching a negotiated settlement of all of our disputes with Dr. Law and Cell Transplants.
However, absent such a resolution or our procurement of additional capital, our current cash
reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a $3.0 million judgment. The entry of such a judgment would
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.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we issued a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share and an aggregate exercise price of $240,000 in
an unregistered transaction pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
On February 22, 2008, we completed our initial public offering of 1,100,000 shares of our
common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-140672).
Dawson James Securities, Inc. acted as the representative of the underwriters.
As a result of the initial public offering:
| we raised approximately $1.45 million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs of approximately $4.32 million; and | ||
| we generated approximately $4.56 million of cash proceeds from the offering, which was approximately $3.11 million greater than the net proceeds of this offering due to our payment of $3.11 million of various offering expenses prior the completion of the offering. |
Subsequent to the completion of our IPO, we have expended approximately $3.0 million in
connection with our MARVEL Trial, $1.1 million for the repayment of a portion of principal and
interest on the BlueCrest Loan and $150,000 pursuant to our license agreements.
