1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
Bioheart, Inc. (the Company) is a biotechnology company 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 cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patients
heart with autologous muscle cells, or cells from the patients body, 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 cell treatment for acute heart damage, and MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing
autologous cells genetically modified to express additional growth factors. 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.

(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 March 31, 2008, the results
of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and its cash flows for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2008 and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31,
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, 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 $1.5 million after deducting underwriter
discounts of approximately $400,000 and offering costs of approximately $3.9 million. The Companys
shares of common stock commenced trading on February 19, 2008 on the NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol BHRT.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 reflects our
receipt of approximately $4.3 million of Proceeds from (payments for) initial public offering of
common stock, net. The $4.3 million cash proceeds figure is approximately $2.8 million higher
than the $1.5 million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our payment of $2.8 million
of various offering expenses prior to the first quarter of 2008.
The net cash proceeds from the IPO are expected 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 $3.5 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 in the quarter ended March 31, 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 offering. 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 March 31, 2008, prepaid expenses
included approximately $2.2 million in upfront payments to the contract research organization of
which $1.6 million had been paid and the remainder is included in accounts payable. 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007, the Company had net deferred loan costs of $593,944 and $1,146,716, respectively. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded $616,022 of interest expense related to the
amortization of deferred loan costs, which included $456,540 related to the fair value of warrants
issued in connection with the loans.
Stock Options and Warrants
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) using the modified prospective transition
method. SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to measure all share-based payment awards granted after
January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under SFAS No. 123R, the fair value
of stock options and other equity-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the
statements of operations over the requisite service period of each award.
Share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 are valued using the fair value
method and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of
the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company also began recognizing compensation expense
under SFAS No. 123R for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted
under its stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to vest.

The Company accounts for certain share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for
Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling Goods or Services. The Company estimates the fair value of such awards using the
Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting period and expenses the fair value over the vesting
period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are provided.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during each period, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The effect of outstanding
stock options and warrants, which could result in the issuance of 4,488,877 and 3,896,126 shares of
common stock at March 31, 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). |

(Unaudited)
| 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 currently estimates the expected term for
employee option grants by review of similar data from a peer group of companies as adequate
historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate. 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.
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
10
Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
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 with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company is presenting development
revenues as a separate line item in its statement of operations. The Company has reclassified
amounts in the cumulative period in the 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 $85.9 million as of March 31, 2008. In addition, as of March 31, 2008, the Companys
current liabilities exceed current assets by $5.7 million. Current liabilities include notes
payable of $6.7 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company generated
approximately $4.3 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 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 will need to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing,
which may include equity and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including
collaborative arrangements. 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. 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 an agreement (the Agreement) with a
collaborative research partner for the full license of all patents, patents pending and future
developments related to heart muscle function improvement and angiogenesis. In July 2000, the
parties executed an addendum to the Agreement (the Addendum), the provisions of which amended a
number of terms of the Agreement.
More specifically, the Addendum provided, among other things:
| The parties agreed that the Company would issue, and the Company did issue, to the collaborative research partner 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 Agreement, issuing 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. 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 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 patents instead of, as originally contemplated under the |
12

(Unaudited)
Agreement, upon initiation of a FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology
in the United States. This $3 million payment is included in accrued expenses as of March
31, 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 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 Agreement, the Company will
be required to pay royalties of 5% from specific sales as determined in the 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 ranging from $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 the three months ended March 31, 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.

Eight-month 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 5.25% and 7.25% at March 31, 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. As consideration for the extension of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a
fee of $50,000. 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 of the Board 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 of the Board 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, 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
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
14

(Unaudited)
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 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 is being amortized as interest expense over the 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 accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate
number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased to 246,498 on September 30,
2007 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 30,403 warrant
shares had an aggregate fair value of $190,935. 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 first
anniversary, 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.
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 term
of the loan using the effective interest method. In accordance with the provisions of the warrants
issued to the new Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying the
warrants increased to 68,576 on September 30, 2007 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding
at that date. The additional 8,458 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $53,528, 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 loan using the effective
interest method. In the event that as of the first anniversary, 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.
In October 2007, the Companys Chairman of the Board 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 of the Board and his spouse fully replaced the collateral originally provided by one of
the original Guarantors. The Companys Chairman of the Board and his spouse have now personally
guaranteed an aggregate of $3.3 million of the loan. The Companys agreement with the Companys
Chairman of the Board 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 of the Board and his spouse,
warrants to purchase 81,547 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per
share. In the event that as of the first anniversary, second anniversary and third anniversary of
the closing date of the loan, respectively, the Company has not reimbursed the Companys Chairman
of the Board and his spouse in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan, the
number of shares subject to the warrant will increase to 101,934, 135,912 and 203,868,
respectively. 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 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.
The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 totaled approximately $98,000. Fees payable to the Guarantors, which are recorded to
interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled approximately $77,000.
The Company is seeking to extend the maturity date of the Bank of America Loan for at least an
additional four-month period. As of the date of this report, discussions regarding an extension
are ongoing. However, there can be no assurances that Bank of America and/or each of the
Guarantors will agree to extend the maturity date as proposed.
Three-year note payable
On June 1, 2007, the Company closed on a $5.0 million senior loan from BlueCrest Capital 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 3% of the outstanding principal if the BlueCrest Loan is prepaid during
the first year of the loan, 2% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the second year of
the loan and 1% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the third year of the loan. As
collateral to secure its repayment obligations under the loan, the Company granted BlueCrest
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
March 31, 2008 totaled approximately $140,000.
5. Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to a clinical registry supply agreement entered into in August 2007 with BHK, Inc.,
the Company received an upfront payment of $103,000. As of December 31, 2007, the Company 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, the Company recorded $82,000 of the
upfront payment as deferred revenue at December 31, 2007. This deferred revenue was recognized in
the three months ended March 31, 2008 upon completion of the remaining cell-culturing services. In
February 2005, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Bioheart Korea, Inc., BHKs
predecessor entity, pursuant to which the Company 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.
The son of one of the Companys directors is an officer of the Company. The amount paid to
this individual as salary for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $32,500 for
each period.
A cousin of the Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer (who served as
the Companys Chief Executive Officer from inception until March 2007) is an officer of the
Company. The amount paid to this individual as salary for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 was $32,500 for each period. In addition, the Company utilized a printing entity
controlled by this individual and paid this entity $2,780 and $3,484 for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The sister-in-law of the Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer is an

6. Shareholders Equity
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 has 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.
Commencing in 2006, the Company initiated capital raising activities through the use of a
private placement. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company raised net
proceeds of approximately $1.1 million through the sale of 139,002 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.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $212,415 in
stock-based compensation costs of which $46,894 represents research and development expense and the
remaining amount is marketing, general and administrative expense. No tax benefits were attributed
to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for all net
deferred tax assets. The Company elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the
historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 123R-c,
Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This
is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining
the tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for
awards that were outstanding as of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. As of March 31, 2008, the Company
had approximately $2.1 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 option-pricing 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. The estimated expected
option life is based primarily on similar data from a peer group of companies. 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-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of each stock option
grant was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions.

In April 2008, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 299,500 shares of its
common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share. Included in this amount were stock options to
purchase 35,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share issued to each
non-management member of the Companys Board of Directors. The options issued to the
non-management members of the Companys Board of Directors vested immediately upon issuance and
will expire on the tenth anniversary of the issuance date.
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. 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had warrants outstanding
for the purchase of shares of the Companys common stock of 2,328,836 and 2,251,836, respectively.

In April 2008, the Company issued 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 vested
immediately upon issuance and expires on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date.
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 Mr. Leonhardt, the Companys Chairman of the Board 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
Primary MyoCell Patent (the Law IP). The parties executed an addendum to the Original Law License
Agreement (the License Addendum) in July 2000, the provisions of which amended a number of terms
of the Original License Agreement.
The Plaintiffs are alleging and seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the
License Addendum fails for lack of consideration. Based upon this argument, the Plaintiffs allege
that the Company is in breach of the terms of the Original Law License Agreement.
In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum is not enforceable,
the Plaintiffs are also seeking an accounting of all revenues, remunerations or benefits derived by
the Company or Mr. Leonhardt from sales, provision and/or distribution of products and services
that read directly on the Law

IP, compensatory and punitive monetary damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
to prohibit the Company from sublicensing its license rights to third parties.
The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and 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 2008 and the parties recently commenced discovery.
While the complaint does not appear to challenge the Companys rights to license the Law IP,
this litigation, if not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, may adversely impact the
Companys relationship with Dr. Law and could, if resolved unfavorably to the Company, adversely
affect the Companys MyoCell commercialization efforts. The action is in its early stages. Due to
the early stages of these proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be determined.
On October 24, 2007, the Company completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first
patient in its MARVEL Trial. Pursuant to the Companys license agreement with Dr. Law and Cell
Transplants International, the Company is required to pay to Cell Transplants International a $3
million payment upon commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial that utilizes
technology claimed under the patent the Company relies upon to protect its MyoCell product
candidate. The Company has not yet made the $3 million payment that is now due, however the amount
is included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Other
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 $355,000. 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 March 31,
2008 or December 31, 2007.

10. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had accrued costs incurred in connection with its
IPO of $29,929 and $297,288, respectively.
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 the
quarter ended March 31, 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 the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

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 March 31, 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.
Overview
We are a biotechnology company 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 therapy
designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patients heart with autologous muscle cells,
or cells from the patients body, for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart
failure patients. The core technology used in MyoCell has been the subject of human clinical trials
conducted over the last six years involving 95 enrollees and 76 treated 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 and intend to seek to have final data available for the MARVEL Trial in the fourth quarter
of 2009. 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 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, and MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells genetically modified to express
additional growth factors. We hope to demonstrate that our various product candidates are safe and
effective complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.
We were incorporated in the state of Florida in August 1999. Our principal executive offices

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.
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
25
Table of Contents
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 $26,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to
revenues of $14,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. In both periods, all revenue was
generated from the shipment of MyoCath catheters to parties other than ACS.
Development revenues
During 2007, we received an upfront payment of $103,000 pursuant to our clinical registry
supply agreement with BHK. At December 31, 2007, we had not completed all of the cell-culturing
services required by the agreement. Based on the amount of cell-culturing services completed as of
December 31, 2007, $82,000 of the upfront payment was recorded as deferred revenue. Of this amount,
$61,500 was recognized as revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2008 upon completion of
additional cell-culturing services.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $3,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $7,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 2007. The costs attributable to the catheters delivered in the first
three months of 2008 were less than the costs attributable to the catheters delivered in the first
three months of 2007.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Approximately $1.1 million of
the expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2008 relates to clinical trials,
including our MARVEL and SEISMIC Trials, while approximately $258,000 relates to advanced research
and business development. 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 Liquidity-Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements and Item 1A. Risk
Factors We will need to secure additional financing within the next three months in order to
continue to finance our operations....

Marketing, General and Administrative
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to $877,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in
marketing, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to increases in insurance
expense, legal and consulting fees and salary expense for our Chief Executive Officer hired in
March 2007.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income
was $34,000 and $41,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
decrease in interest income in the first quarter of 2008 was primarily attributable to lower
interest rates in such quarter as compared to the corresponding period of 2007.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on the principal amount of our
outstanding loans, accrued fees payable to the guarantors of one of the loans, the amortization of
related deferred loan costs and the amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection
with the loans. Interest expense was $933,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared
to $561 of interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
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 6.75% (prime plus 1.5%),
respectively, at March 31, 2008. Interest incurred on the principal amount of the loans and accrued
fees payable to the guarantors totaled $315,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Amortization of deferred loan costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in
connection with the loans totaled $616,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The fair value
of the warrants issued in connection with the Bank of America Loan was amortized in full in January
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 $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31,
2008 as compared to $2.1 million of cash used in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Our use of cash for operations in the first three months of 2008 was primarily attributable to
net losses of $3.3 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.5
million. The significant increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due to upfront
payments under an agreement with the contract research organization that we are utilizing for the
MARVEL Trial.
Partially offsetting these uses of cash were amortization of the fair value of warrants issued
in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $457,000, an increase in accounts
payable of $259,000, an increase in accrued expenses of $264,000, stock based compensation of
$212,000 and amortization of deferred loan costs incurred in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and
Bank of America Loan of $159,000.
Our use of cash for operations in the first three months of 2007 was primarily attributable to
net losses of $2.3 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $206,000 and an increase in prepaid
expenses of $172,000. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were stock based compensation of
$250,000 and an increase in accrued expenses of $104,000.

Table of Contents
Net cash used in investing activities was $18,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as
compared to $16,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. All of the cash utilized in investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 related to our acquisition of
property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million during the three months ended March
31, 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 $1.5 million.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 reflects our
receipt of approximately $4.3 million of Proceeds from initial public offering of common stock,
net. The $4.3 million cash proceeds figure is approximately $2.8 million higher than the $1.5
million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our payment of $2.8 million of various
offering expenses prior to the first quarter of 2008.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we repaid $398,000 of principal on the BlueCrest
Loan and paid $95,000 of costs incurred in connection with the extension of the maturity date of
the Bank of America Loan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was
$467,000. We generated $1.2 million from the sale of our common stock in private placements. This
source of cash was partially offset by $700,000 related to the payment of offering costs in
connection with our initial public offering.
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 early 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 recently
completed initial public offering of our common stock to provide the funds necessary to conduct our
research and development activities and to meet our other cash needs.
At March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $4.8 million; however, our
working capital deficit as of such date was $5.7 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.
Provided that we continue to defer the 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 for approximately the next three months. We
will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop our business and product candidates as
planned. For instance, we believe our ability 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 within the next month. We also believe we will need to raise approximately $10.0 $12.0
million of funds to finance the completion of the MARVEL Trial. If we do not secure $5.0 million of
additional capital within the next month, we will be required to restrict enrollment in the MARVEL
Trial, which will, at a minimum, delay our projected date for completing the MARVEL Trial.
28
Table of Contents
Unless and until we secure a total of approximately $20.0 million of financing, we intend to
focus our capital resources on the advancement of the MARVEL Trial and expect to seek to minimize
our expenditures on other product candidates in our research and development pipeline. We are
seeking a number of grants to assist in the development of our product candidates.
Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur
significant commercialization expenses for product sales and marketing, manufacturing the product
and/or securing commercial quantities of product from manufacturers and product distribution.
We expect that our expenses and capital expenditures will increase significantly during 2008
and beyond as a result of a number of factors, including:
| costs related to our commencement of full scale enrollment of the MARVEL Trial; | ||
| costs related to our continued research and development and new clinical trials with respect to our pipeline product candidates; | ||
| costs of applying for regulatory approvals; | ||
| capital expenditures to increase our research and development and cell-culturing capabilities; | ||
| costs associated with our addition of operational, financial and management information systems and personnel and development and protection of our intellectual property; | ||
| our obligations to make payments pursuant to license agreements upon achievement of certain milestones, including a $3 million payment to Cell Transplants International; and | ||
| costs associated with our establishment of sales and marketing capabilities to commercialize products for which we obtain regulatory approval, if any. |
The magnitude of our future expenditures and cash requirements will depend on numerous
factors, including, but not limited to:
| resolution, whether by mutual agreement or court order, of our payment obligations under the license agreement with Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants International and the timing of such payments; | ||
| the scope, rate of scientific progress, results and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities; | ||
| the costs and timing of seeking FDA and other regulatory approvals; | ||
| our ability to obtain sufficient third-party insurance coverage or reimbursement for our product candidates; | ||
| the effectiveness of commercialization activities (including the volume and profitability of any sales achieved); | ||
| our ability to establish additional strategic, collaborative and licensing relationships with third parties with respect to the sales, marketing and distribution of our products, research and development and other matters and the economic and other terms and timing of any such relationships; | ||
| the ongoing availability of funds from foreign governments to build new manufacturing facilities; | ||
| the costs involved in any potential litigation that may occur; | ||
| decisions by us to pursue the development of new product candidates or technologies or to make acquisitions or investments; and |
29
Table of Contents
| the effect of competing products, technologies and market developments. |
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 will need to seek
substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity
and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. We
may also seek to satisfy some of our obligations to the guarantors of our Bank of America Loan
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. 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
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 raise additional funds 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 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. For the first three months of the BlueCrest Loan, we were only
required to make payments of interest. Commencing in October 2007, we are required to make 33 equal
monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 12.85%. As
consideration for providing us the BlueCrest 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 the date that is one year following the date the warrant was issued,
has a ten-year term. This warrant had a fair value of $432,635, which amount was accounted for as
additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs to be amortized as
interest expense over the term of the BlueCrest Loan using the effective interest method. We also
paid BlueCrest Capital a fee of $100,000 to cover diligence and other costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the loan.
We may voluntarily prepay the BlueCrest Loan in whole but not in part. However, we are subject
to a prepayment penalty equal to 3% of the outstanding principal if paid during the first year of
the BlueCrest Loan, 2% of the outstanding principal if paid during the second year of the BlueCrest
Loan and 1% of the outstanding principal if paid during the third year of the BlueCrest 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 |
30
Table of Contents
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 Loan and Security Agreement, 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
31

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 5.25% as of March 31, 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.
As consideration for the extension of the Bank of America Loan, we paid Bank of America a fee of
$50,000. 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 March 31, 2008, the Bank of America Loan is secured by:
| a $3.3 million limited personal guarantee provided by Mr. Howard J. Leonhardt, our Chairman 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.
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.
We are seeking to extend the maturity date of the Bank of America Loan for at least an
additional four month period. As of the date of this report, discussions regarding an extension
are ongoing. However, there can be no assurances that Bank of America and/or each of the
Guarantors will agree to extend the maturity date as proposed.

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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to
our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
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 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 March 31,
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 Primary MyoCell Patent (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. The 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. |
The Plaintiffs are not challenging the validity of our license of the Law IP, but rather 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 Primary MyoCell Patent and a purported breach of the contractual restriction on
sublicensing the Primary MyoCell Patent 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.
34
Table of Contents
We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend the action vigorously. 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 2008 and the parties recently commenced discovery.
While the complaint does not appear to challenge our rights to license the Law IP and we
believe this lawsuit is without merit, this litigation, if not resolved to the satisfaction of both
parties, may adversely impact our relationship with Dr. Law and could, if resolved unfavorably to
us, adversely affect our MyoCell commercialization efforts.
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
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Potential Need for Additional Financing
We will need to secure additional financing within the next three months in order to continue to
finance our operations and will need substantial additional capital to develop our business and
product candidates as otherwise planned. We may be unable to secure additional capital when
needed. An inability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and could even prevent us from continuing our
business.
As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million and a working capital
deficit of $5.7 million. Provided that we continue to defer our payment of $3.0 million to Dr. Law
and Cell Transplants, we project that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to finance our
operations for approximately the next three months. See We have licensed and therefore do not
own the intellectual property that is critical to our business ... 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. We will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop
our business and product candidates as planned. For instance, we believe our ability 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 within the next month. We also believe we
will need to raise approximately $10.0 $12.0 million of capital to finance the completion of the
35
Table of Contents
MARVEL Trial. If we do not secure $5.0 million of additional capital within the next month, we
will be required to restrict enrollment in the MARVEL Trial, which will, at a minimum, delay our
projected date for completing the MARVEL Trial. Unless and until we secure a total of approximately
$20.0 million of financing, we intend to focus our capital resources on the advancement of the
MARVEL trial and expect to seek to minimize our expenditures on other product candidates in our
research and development pipeline.
In addition, subject to obtaining regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we
expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales and marketing,
manufacturing the product and/or securing commercial quantities of product from manufacturers and
product distribution. We also anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to satisfy
our outstanding debt obligations and make projected payments under our license agreements.
The extent of our need for additional capital will depend on numerous factors, including, but
not limited to:
| resolution, whether by mutual agreement or court order, of our payment obligations under the Law License Agreement and the timing of such payments; | ||
| the scope, rate of scientific progress, results and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities; | ||
| the costs and timing of seeking FDA and other regulatory approvals; | ||
| our ability to obtain sufficient third-party insurance coverage or reimbursement for our product candidates; | ||
| the effectiveness of commercialization activities (including the volume and profitability of any sales achieved); | ||
| our ability to establish additional strategic, collaborative and licensing relationships with third parties with respect to the sales, marketing and distribution of our products, research and development and other matters and the economic and other terms and timing of any such relationships; | ||
| the ongoing availability of capital from foreign governments to build new manufacturing facilities; | ||
| the costs involved in any potential litigation that may occur; | ||
| decisions by us to pursue the development of new product candidates or technologies or to make acquisitions or investments; and | ||
| the effect of competing products, technologies and market developments. |
We have no commitments or arrangements from third parties for any additional financing to fund
our research and development and/or other operations. We will need to seek substantial additional
financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings,
and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. 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.
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 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 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.
If we are unable to raise additional capital when we need it, we may be required to delay,
scale back or eliminate expenditures for our development programs, curtail efforts to commercialize
our product candidates or reduce the scale of our operations, any of which could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and could even prevent us from continuing
our business at all.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we issued to two employees, stock options to
purchase an aggregate of 1,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share
and an aggregate exercise price of $5,250 in unregistered transactions 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 $1.5 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 $4.3 million; and | ||
| we generated approximately $4.6 million of cash proceeds from the offering, which is approximately $3.1 million greater than the net proceeds of this offering due to our payment of $3.1 million of various offering expenses prior the completion of the offering. |
Pending the use of cash proceeds from our initial public offering, we have deposited the
proceeds in an interest bearing account. There has been no material change in the actual or planned
use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in the final prospectus with respect
to our initial public offering filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to a vote of security holders
through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 5. Other Information
Supply Agreement with Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc.
In April 2008, we entered into a Supply Agreement, effective as of February 12, 2008, with
Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc., a Korean cell-culturing company of which we own an 18% equity
interest. Pursuant to this Supply Agreement, we have agreed that, during the term of the
agreement, we will use Bioheart Manufacturing as our exclusive provider of MyoCell cell-culturing
services for procedures performed in the Republic of Korea, China, Thailand and Singapore at the
lower of (i) Bioheart Manufacturings cost plus 50% and (ii) a contractually stipulated rate. In
addition, we have agreed that we will use Bioheart Manufacturing as our exclusive provider of
MyoCell cell-culturing services for procedures performed in other Asian countries, except for Japan
and countries in the Middle East, until such time as we have a certified manufacturing facility in
any such other country.
Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Supply Agreement will
terminate on December 31, 2017. Either party may terminate the Supply Agreement, for any reason
and without penalty, upon 120 days written notice. In addition, either party may terminate the
Supply Agreement upon the other partys uncured material breach of the Supply Agreement, such other
partys bankruptcy or insolvency or such other partys breach of trust in connection with the
Supply Agreement or any other supply agreement between the parties. Bioheart Manufacturing has
agreed that, during the term and, unless the agreement is terminated without cause or upon the
other partys bankruptcy or insolvency, for a two year period thereafter, it will not, without our
consent, supply cells or cell-culturing services for use in any other cell based therapies that are
competitive with our cell therapy treatments.
Distribution Agreement with BHK, Inc.
In April 2008, we appointed BHK, Inc., the majority shareholder of Bioheart Manufacturing, as
the exclusive distributor of our MyoCell product candidate in the Republic of Korea and China.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement for each country, each of which are effective as of February
12, 2008 (the Effective Date), BHK has agreed to pay a contractually stipulated rate per MyoCell
procedure purchased. During the term of each Distribution Agreement, BHK has agreed to purchase a
minimum number of MyoCell procedures per year (the Minimum Performance Levels). If BHK is unable
to satisfy the Minimum Performance Level for the applicable country in any year, BHKs appointment
as our distributor in such country shall become non-exclusive until such time as the Minimum
Performance Level is satisfied. In addition, commencing on the date that the appropriate country
regulatory authorities approve reimbursement for MyoCell, we will have the right to terminate BHKs
distribution rights if BHK fails to purchase 75% of the Minimum Performance Level for the
applicable country in any year. BHK can cure such failure within a 60 day period by purchasing
additional MyoCell procedures to meet the Minimum Performance Level or paying us a fee equal to the
amount of gross profit we would have received if the Minimum Performance Level had been satisfied.
In the event we seek to directly or indirectly distribute other cellular therapy based
products intended to treat cardiac disease in the applicable country, pursuant to each Distribution
Agreement, BHK has a right to submit a written offer to exclusively distribute the products in such
country. We reserve the right to evaluate and select offers by other potential distributors and/or
to not grant distribution rights to any third party with respect to such products.
Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement, each Distribution Agreement
will terminate on the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Distribution Agreement will automatically renew for an additional five year period provided
BHK has satisfied the Minimum Performance Levels applicable to such country.

Either party may terminate the applicable Distribution Agreement upon the other partys
uncured material breach of such agreement, the other partys fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation
of funds or breach of trust in connection with the applicable Distribution Agreement or any other
agreement between the parties, such other partys dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency or if
performance of the agreement becomes legally prohibited and such prohibition continues
uninterrupted for a 120 day period.
If we terminate either Distribution Agreement for any reason other than as described above, we
will be required to pay BHK a termination fee for such Distribution Agreement equal to the greater
of (i) 150% of the total documented amount BHK has invested through the date of termination to
develop and implement a distribution system in the applicable company and (ii) 150% of the revenues
BHK has received during the twelve month period preceding termination for distributing MyoCell in
the applicable country.
BHK has agreed that, during the term and, unless the agreement is terminated upon the other
partys dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency, for a two year period thereafter, it will not,
without our consent, distribute any other cell based therapies that are competitive with MyoCell in
either the Republic of Korea or China.
SEISMIC Trial Results
On April 1, 2008, we issued a press release announcing the presentation of final six-month
follow-up patient data for our SEISMIC Trial at the clinical trial session at the American College
of Cardiology on April 1, 2008.
