Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Organization and Business
Bioheart, Inc. (the
Company) is committed to developing and delivering cell technologies and intelligent devices that treat and monitor heart failure and other
cardiovascular diseases. Its goals are to restore heart function, improve a patients quality of life and reduce health care costs and
hospitalizations. Specific to biotechnology, the Company is focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval,
commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage. MyoCell® is an innovative clinical
muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patients heart with new living cells for the purpose of
improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients. The Companys pipeline includes multiple product candidates for the treatment of
heart damage, including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose tissue-derived cell treatment for acute heart damage, and MyoCell®
SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells that are genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic growth proteins. The Company
was incorporated in Florida on August 12, 1999.
Development Stage
The Company has operated as a
development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its effort to raising capital, research and development of products
noted above, and developing markets for its products. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting and reporting principles prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
Prior to marketing its products
in the United States, the Companys products must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process
implemented by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will not
encounter problems in clinical trials that will cause the Company or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials. The 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.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed
or omitted.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of
operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 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, 2009.
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, 2008 and the notes thereto included
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates, assumptions
and methods used to estimate the fair value of the Companys financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825,
formerly SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company has used available information to derive its
estimates. However, because these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could
realize currently. The use of different assumptions or estimating methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair
value of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short term nature. The
carrying value of long-term debt consisting of a note payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, based on the time
to maturity, interest rate environment and borrowing rates available to the Company.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw
materials and finished product. Finished product consists primarily of finished catheters. Cost of finished product, consisting of raw materials and
contract manufacturing costs, is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for valuing inventories. Costs of raw materials are determined
using the FIFO method. Inventory is stated at the lower of costs or market (estimated net realizable value).
Inventory consisted of the
following at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current
Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2008,
mainly consisted of upfront payments under an agreement with the contract research organization that the Company was utilizing for its Marvel Clinical
Trials, and payments on corporate insurance policies. At September 30, 2009, all the prepayments to the contract research organization were recovered,
and prepaid expenses and other current assets mainly consist of prepayment on corporate insurance policies.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs consist
principally of legal and loan origination fees incurred to obtain $10 million in loans in June 2007 and the fair value of warrants issued in connection
with the loans. These deferred loan costs are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective loans using the effective interest
rate method. At September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had net deferred loan costs of $793,798 and $278,945, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded $597,781 and $1,016,373, respectively, of
interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which included $448,888 and $664,734, respectively, related to the fair value of
warrants issued in connection with the loans.
Stock Options and Warrants
On January 1, 2006, the Company
adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No.
123R) using the modified prospective transition method. ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to measure all share-based
payment awards granted after January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, the fair
value of stock options and other equity-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service
period of each award.
Share-based awards granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006 are valued using the fair value method and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period of the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company also began recognizing compensation expense under ACS Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R
for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted under its stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to
vest.
The Company accounts for certain
share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including ASC
Topic 505, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction
with Selling Goods or Services. The Company estimates the fair value of such

awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting
period and expenses the fair value over the vesting period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are
provided.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share has been computed
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, formerly SFAS No. 128, Earnings per
Share. The effect of outstanding stock options and warrants, which could result in the issuance of 8,547,508 and 4,805,187 shares of common stock
at September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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.
New Accounting
Standards
There were various accounting
standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial positions,
results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2009, the FASB established
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification or ASC). The Codification is the single source of authoritative US
GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities
laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification has changed the manner in which US GAAP guidance is referenced only
and as such adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but has changed the manner in
which we reference US GAAP.

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 $102.5 million as of September
30, 2009. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, the Companys current liabilities exceed current assets by $12.7 million. Current liabilities
include notes payable of $4.4 million. As discussed in Note 6, the Company also has an obligation of $3 million to the Companys former Chairman
and spouse. The Company has obtained additional capital from the sale of unregistered securities to conduct its business and continue operations
through 2009. See, Part II, Item 2, Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Due to the Companys
financial condition, the report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm on the Companys December 31, 2008
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.

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:
In February 2000, the Company entered
into a license agreement (the Original License Agreement) with Cell Transplants International, LLC (CTI). Pursuant to the
Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted the Company a license to certain patents related to heart muscle regeneration and
angiogenesis for the life of the patents. In July 2000, the Company and CTI, together with Dr. Peter K. Law, executed an addendum to the Original
License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of terms of the Original License Agreement (the License Addendum).
More specifically, the License Addendum
provided, among other things:
|
The parties agreed that the Company would issue, and the Company did issue, to CTI a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, issuing to CTI or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of the Companys common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. These share amounts and exercise prices do not take into account any subsequent recapitalizations or reverse stock splits. |
|
The parties agreed that the Companys obligation to pay CTI a $3.0 million milestone payment would be triggered upon the Companys commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States, instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, upon initiation of an FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology in the United States. |
In addition, if the Company obtains FDA
approval of a method of heart muscle regeneration utilizing the patented technology licensed under the Original License Agreement, the Company will be
required to pay CTI $5 million. Further, the Company would be obligated to pay CTI a royalty of 5% of gross sales of products and services that
directly read upon the claims of the licensed patents. During the course of certain litigation initiated by Dr. Law against the Company, see Note 9,
the Company learned that CTI, a Tennessee limited liability company, was administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State of Tennessee in
2004.
In February 2006, the Company entered
into an exclusive license agreement with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation for various patents to be used in connection with the MyoCell SDF-1 product
candidate. In exchange for the license, the Company 1) paid $250,000 upon the closing of the agreement; 2) paid $1,250,000 in 2006; 3) paid $150,000 in
2008; 4) will pay a maintenance fee of $150,000 per year for the duration of the license; 5) will be required to make various milestone payments; and
6) will pay a 5% royalty on the net sales of products and services that directly rely upon the claims of the patents for the first $300,000,000 of
annual net sales and a 3% royalty for any annual net sales over $300,000,000. The royalty percentage shall be reduced by 0.5% for each 1.0% of license
fees paid to any other entity. However, the royalty percentage shall not be reduced to less than 2.5%.
Bioheart has signed two amendments
associated with the license agreement with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. The amended agreement states that if Bioheart does not complete each
milestone activity by the expected completion date then the license will terminate. As part of the original license agreement, Bioheart gained access
to multiple product lines. The amended agreement states that if these products are not included in a Bioheart sponsored clinical trial prior to
December 31, 2010, Bioheart will lose the rights to those

products. On July 1st, 2009, the company received notification from the Cleveland Clinic that they are terminating the License Agreement due to failure to
pay the annual maintenance fee on June 30, 2009. The termination does not release Bioheart from obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of
termination or any other obligations it might have under that Agreement. The company also received a communication from Juventas Therapeutics (now
acting on behalf of the Cleveland Clinic for this patent portfolio) that it would like to renegotiate the License Agreement with Bioheart and the two
companies are now developing a Memorandum of Understanding to this end. The Company has developed proprietary techniques to utilize the art identified
in the patents that are pending.
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 with a third party, all unvested shares of common stock subject to the warrant shall immediately vest prior to such event. In
addition, the Company will pay a 2% royalty of net sales of licensed products.

Bank of America Note Payable
On June 1, 2007, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for an eight month, $5.0 million term loan, to be used for working capital purposes.
The loan bears interest at the annual rate of the prime rate plus 1.5%. The prime rate was 3.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
As consideration for the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $100,000. Effective as of January 31, 2008, the maturity date of the loan was
extended until June 1, 2008. Effective as of June 1, 2008, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until January 5, 2009.
Effective January 5, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until July 6, 2009. As consideration for this extension of
the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $50,000. Effective July 6, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity
of the loan until January 5, 2010. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of
$25,000. 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 former 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 former Chairman and
his spouse, these guarantees are limited to the collateral each provided to the lender.
The Company and Bank
of America have agreed with BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P., the lender of the BlueCrest Loan (defined below), that the Company will not individually
make any payments due under the Bank of America loan while the BlueCrest Loan is outstanding. For the Companys benefit, the Guarantors 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 collateral to guarantee the loan. Upon entering into the loan
agreement, the Company issued to each Guarantor warrants to purchase 3,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share for each
$100,000 of principal amount of the loan guaranteed by such Guarantor. The warrants have a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the
date the warrants were issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 216,095 shares of common stock were issued to the
12

(Unaudited)

Guarantors. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of
$1,437,638, which amount was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest
expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method. As discussed below, certain of these Guarantors were replaced in
September 2007. The unamortized fair value of the warrants issued to the Guarantors that were replaced, which was previously reflected as a component
of deferred loan costs, was recorded as interest expense in September 2007.
In September 2007, a
member of the 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 became exercisable one year following the date the warrants were
issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,118 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the new Guarantors. These warrants had an
aggregate fair value of $380,482, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and
amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.
In accordance with the
provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on September 30,
2007 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 38,861 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $244,463. The
portion of this amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and
immediately recorded as interest expense with the remainder accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan
costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.
In October 2007, the
Companys former Chairman and his spouse agreed to provide an additional $2.2 million limited personal guarantee of the loan and pledged
securities accounts to backup this limited personal guarantee. The additional collateral provided by the Companys former Chairman and his spouse
fully replaced the collateral provided by one of the original Guarantors. Accordingly, the Companys former Chairman and his spouse personally
guaranteed an aggregate of $3.3 million of the loan. The Companys agreement with the Companys former Chairman 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 former Chairman and his
spouse, a warrant to purchase 81,547 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant has a ten-year term
and became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued. The warrant had a fair value of $516,193, which was accounted for as
additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan
using the effective interest method.
As a result of this
replacement of the collateral originally provided by one of the original Guarantors in October 2007, the unamortized fair value of the warrant to
purchase 81,548 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share issued to that Guarantor was recorded as interest
expense in October 2007. In October 2007, the Company cancelled the warrant previously issued to such original Guarantor, which warrant included the
adjustment provisions discussed above, and, in exchange, issued to them a warrant to purchase 101,934 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $7.69 per

(Unaudited)
share, which new warrant does not contain the adjustment
provisions discussed above. The additional 20,386 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $128,228, which was accounted for as additional paid in
capital and immediately recorded as interest expense.
In accordance with the provisions of
the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on June 1, 2008 as the Bank of
America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 78,773 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $168,387. The portion of this
amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as
interest expense with the remainder accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs to be amortized as
interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. In the event that as of the second anniversary and third anniversary of
the closing date of the loan, the Company has not reimbursed the Guarantors in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan, the number
of shares subject to the warrants will further increase.
In March 2009, the Companys
former Chairman and his spouse repaid $3.0 million of principal and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. The Company now
owes this $3.0 million to the Companys former Chairman and his spouse. This liability is reflected on the Companys consolidated balance
sheet on a separate line titled Due to related parties. In accordance with the provisions discussed above, this amount will accrue interest
at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0%.
The amount of interest expense on the
principal amount of the loan for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $103,000 and $264,000, respectively.
Fees and interest earned by the Guarantors, which are recorded as interest expense, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
totaled approximately $379,000 and $81,000, respectively. Interest due on the principal amount of the loan has been paid by the Guarantors. As of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount of interest paid by the Guarantors on behalf of the Company totaled approximately $693,000 and
$432,000, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses at those dates.
BlueCrest Capital Finance Note
Payable
On June 1, 2007, the Company closed on
a $5.0 million senior loan from BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. with a term of 36 months which bears interest at an annual rate of 12.85% (the
BlueCrest Loan). The first three months required payment of interest only with equal principal and interest payments over the remaining 33
months. As consideration for the loan, the Company issued to BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. a warrant to purchase 65,030 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant, which became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued, has a ten year term. This
warrant had a fair value of $432,635, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and is
being amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Company also paid the lender a fee of $100,000
to cover diligence and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the loan. On August 31, 2007, BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. assigned its
rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under the BlueCrest Loan and warrant to BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund Limited
(BlueCrest).
The loan may be prepaid in whole but
not in part. However, the Company is subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the second year of the
loan and 1% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the third year of the loan. As collateral to secure its repayment obligations under the
loan, the Company granted BlueCrest a first priority security interest in all of the Companys assets, excluding intellectual property but
including the proceeds from any sale of any of the
14

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 are immediately due and payable and BlueCrest has the right to enforce its security interest in
the assets securing the loan. During the continuance of an event of default, all outstanding amounts under the loan will bear interest (payable on
demand) at an annual rate of the 14.85%. In addition, any unpaid amounts are subject, until paid, to a service charge in an amount equal to two percent
(2%) of the unpaid amount. Events of default include, among others, the Companys failure to make timely payments of principal when due, the
Companys uncured failure to pay timely any other amounts owing to BlueCrest 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 BlueCrest Loan for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $284,000 and $380,000,
respectively.
On January 2, 2009, the Company failed
to make the monthly payment of principal and interest of approximately $181,000 due on such date. On January 28, 2009, the Company received from
BlueCrest notice of this event of default (the Default Notice) under the BlueCrest Loan. By reason of the stated event, BlueCrest demanded
payment of a 2% late fee of approximately $3,600, together with the principal and interest payment of approximately $181,000. On February 2, 2009, the
Company received from BlueCrest notice of acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of the BlueCrest Loan and demanded repayment in full of all
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan, including late fees, in the aggregate amount of $2,947,045. (The acceleration notice, together
with the Default Notice, are referred to as the Notices).
The Company and BlueCrest entered into
an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan as of April 2, 2009 ( BlueCrest Loan Amendment), that, among other things, includes BlueCrests
agreement to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies regarding the defaults described in Notices (the Forbearance) as long as
there are no new defaults under the BlueCrest Loan, as amended.
The BlueCrest Loan Amendment, (a)
increases the amount of permitted unsecured indebtedness of the Company, (b) amended the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for
interest-only payments until July 1, 2009, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $262,692 will commence, and (c) prohibits the
Company from granting any lien against its intellectual property and grants to BlueCrest a lien against the Companys intellectual property that
will become effective in the event of a default. In addition, the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase 1,315,542 shares of the Companys
common stock at $0.53 per share.
In connection with the BlueCrest Loan
Amendment, the Company paid BlueCrest accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $126,077. The Company also paid BlueCrest a fee of
$15,000.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company and
BlueCrest agreed to enter into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan to amend the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments
until January 1, 2010, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $139,728 will commence.
In connection with the most recent
BlueCrest Loan Amendment the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase 909,090 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.66 per share and
paid a fee of $29,435..

Short-term Note Payable
On August 20, 2008, the Company
borrowed $1.0 million from a third party pursuant to the terms of an unsecured Promissory Note and Agreement. Outstanding principal and interest on the
loan, which accrues at the rate of 13.5% per annum, is payable in one balloon payment upon the Companys repayment of the BlueCrest Loan, which is
scheduled to mature in May 2010. In the event the Company completes a private placement of its common stock and/or securities exercisable for or
convertible into its common stock which generates at least $19.0 million of gross proceeds, the Company may prepay, without penalty, all outstanding
principal and interest due under the loan using the same type of securities issued in the subject private placement. Because repayment of the loan
could occur within 12 months from the date of the balance sheet, the Company has classified this loan as short term. Subject to certain conditions, at
the end of each calendar quarter during the time the loan is outstanding, the Company may, but is not required to, pay all or any portion of the
interest accrued but unpaid as of such date with shares of its common stock.
The amount of interest expense on the
principal amount of the loan for the period ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $102,000. The Company has not paid any of the interest accrued
to date on the principal amount of the loan.

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. Of this amount, $61,500 was recognized as
revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2008 upon completion of additional 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. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned an 18% equity interest in Bioheart Manufacturing,
Inc. In February 2009, the Companys ownership interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. was reduced from 18% to approximately 6% as a result of an
investment in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. by a third party.
As discussed in Note 5, the
Companys former Chairman and his spouse had provided collateral to guarantee the Bank of America loan. In March 2009, these individuals repaid
$3.0 million of principal and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. The Company now owes this $3.0 million to the
Companys former Chairman and his spouse. This liability is reflected on the Companys consolidated balance sheet on a separate line titled
Subordinated related party loan. This amount will also accrue interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0%.
In April and May 2009, the
Company sold to two members of the Board of Directors, in a private placement, an aggregate of 965,570 shares of the Companys common stock and
warrants to purchase 289,671 shares of the Companys common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $535,000.
A cousin of the Companys
former Chairman is an officer of the Company. The amounts paid to this individual as salary for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 were $78,500 and $65,000, respectively. In addition, the Company utilized a printing entity controlled by this individual and paid this entity
$22,759 and $16,730 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Shareholders Equity |
As further discussed in Note 1,
on February 22, 2008 the Company completed its IPO pursuant to which it sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $5.25 for net
proceeds of approximately $1.45 million after deducting underwriter discounts of approximately $400,000 and offering costs of approximately $3.92
million. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 reflects the Companys receipt of approximately $5.37
million of Proceeds from (payments for) initial public offering of common stock, net. The $5.37 million cash proceeds figure is
approximately $3.52 million higher than the $1.45 million net proceeds figure identified above due to payment of $3.92 million of various offering
expenses.

Stock Options and Warrants |
Stock Options
In July 2008, the Board of Directors
approved, subject to shareholder approval, the establishment of the Bioheart Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the Omnibus Plan). The
establishment of the Omnibus Plan was approved by the Companys shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 30, 2008. Pursuant
to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred
stock, stock awards, performance shares, and other stock-based awards consisting of cash, restricted stock or unrestricted stock in various
combinations to the Companys employees, directors and consultants. 5,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the
Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2009, no securities had been issued under the Omnibus Plan.
In December 1999, the Company adopted
two stock option plans; an employee stock option plan and a directors and consultants stock option plan (collectively referred to as the Stock
Option Plans), under which a total of 1,235,559 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted by the
Company. In 2001, the Company amended the Stock Option Plans to increase the total shares of common stock reserved for issuance to 1,698,894. In 2003,
the Company approved an increase of 308,890 shares, making the total 2,007,784 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. In 2006, the
Company approved an increase of 1,081,114 shares, making the total 3,088,898 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. The Stock
Option Plans provide for the granting of incentive and non-qualified options. The terms of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plans are
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant, including the exercise price, vesting provisions and
contractual term of such options. The exercise price of incentive stock options must equal at least the fair value of the common stock on the date of
grant, and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options may be no less

than the per share par value. The options have terms of up to ten
years after the date of grant and become exercisable as determined upon grant, typically over either three or four year periods from the date of grant.
Certain outstanding options vested over a one-year period and some vested immediately. As of September 30, 2009, 820,764 shares remain available for
issuance under the Stock Option Plans.

(1) The aggregate intrinsic
value represents the amount by which the fair market value of the Companys common stock exceeds the exercise price of options at September 30,
2009. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.66 and $2.38 per share,
respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was $5,891. There were 78,125 options
exercised in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net reversal of $47,750 in stock-based compensation. This amount consisted of $52,042 in stock-based
compensation that was included in research and development expenses, which was offset by a net reversal of $99,792 of previously recognized stock-based
compensation that was included in marketing, general and administrative expenses. For the nine-month period September 30, 2008, the Company recognized
$1,109,150 in stock-based compensation costs of which approximately $162,304 represented research and development expense and the remaining amount was
marketing, general and administrative expense. No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance
was maintained for all net deferred tax assets. The Company elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax
benefits as permitted by ASC Topic 718, formerly FSP No. SFAS 123R-c, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based
Payment Awards. This is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock
compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards that were outstanding as of the adoption of ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS
No. 123R. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $272,263 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options that is
expected to be recognized over the next three years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes
valuation model to determine the fair value of options on the date of grant. This model derives the fair value of options based on certain assumptions
related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield. For the period through March 31, 2009 the
Companys expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of other publicly traded development stage companies in the same industry.
Commencing April 1, 2009, the Company began calculating its volatility based on actual fluctuations in its share prices. Prior to January 1, 2008, the
Company estimated the expected term for stock option grants by review of similar data from a peer group of companies. The Company adopted SAB 110
effective January 1, 2008 and will apply the simplified method in SAB 107 until enough historical experience is readily available to provide a
reasonable estimate of the expected term for stock option grants. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve
appropriate for the term of the expected life of the options.
For the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average
assumptions.

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

Stock Warrants
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 non-employees or in connection with financing
transactions. The exercise price, vesting period, and term of these warrants is determined by the Companys Board of Directors at the time of
issuance. A summary of warrants at September 30, 2009 and activity during the nine-month period then ended is presented below:

In the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2008, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 77,000 shares of its common stock to the representative of the several underwriters of the
Companys IPO, as discussed in Note 1.
For the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, warrants to purchase 2,849,313 shares were issued in connection with loan renewals. These warrants resulted in the
addition of $974,639 in additional interest expense that will be recognized in future periods. When warrants are issued in transactions that require
the recognition of expense, the Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants on the date of issuance. The
Companys expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of other publicly traded development stage companies in the same industry. The
expected life of the warrants is based primarily on the contractual life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S.
Treasury yield curve appropriate for the term of the expected life of the warrants.

Legal Proceedings |
On March 13, 2009, Judge Bernice
Bouie Donald of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in litigation brought
against Bioheart by Dr. Peter K. Law and Cell Transplants Asia Limited (CTAL) (collectively, the Plaintiffs), captioned Peter
K. Law, et al. v. Bioheart, Inc., No. 2:07-cv-2177 (the Action). The Action, which has been the subject of previous disclosures by the
Company, was commenced on March 9, 2007, and asserted claims against the Company and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, with respect to a license
agreement entered into between Bioheart, Inc. and Cell Transplants International, LLC (CTI) on February 7, 2000 (the Original License
Agreement). Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted the Company a license to certain patents related to
heart muscle regeneration and angiogenesis for the life of the patents. In July 2000, Bioheart and CTI, together with Dr. Law, executed an
addendum to the Original License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of the terms of the Original License Agreement (the License
Addendum).
In their amended complaint, Dr.
Law and CTAL asserted 14 breach of contract and related claims pertaining to the Original License Agreement and License Addendum, including, among
others, claims that the Company had breached obligations to provide shares of Bioheart common stock to Dr. Law, pay royalties on gross
sales of MyoCell, pay a $3 million milestone payment due upon Biohearts commencement of a bona fide Phase II human clinical trial
study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States, and to refrain from sublicensing
Plaintiffs patents. Plaintiffs also sought a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum was unenforceable due to a lack of consideration
and/or economic duress. At the outset of the Action, the individual claim against Mr. Leonhardt was dismissed along with Plaintiffs claim for
civil conspiracy, leaving 12 claims to be adjudicated.
The Company denied the material
allegations of the amended complaint, denied it had any liability to Plaintiffs, and asserted a number of defenses to Plaintiffs claims, as well
as counterclaims seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a legally valid and binding agreement and asserting that Dr. Law and/or CTI had
breached various obligations in the parties agreements.
Following the completion of
discovery, the Action was tried to the Court, without a jury, from September 22-25, 2008.
On March 13, 2009, the Court
rendered its decision in the Action, dismissing the amended complaint after finding that Plaintiffs had failed to establish any of their 12 remaining
claims. With respect to Plaintiffs claim for the $3 million milestone payment, the Court found that the payment was payable only to
CTI, not the Plaintiffs, and that CTI, a dissolved Tennessee limited liability company, had never been made a party to the Action and therefore
was not properly before the Court. The Court also found that, even assuming Plaintiffs could assert a claim for the milestone payment on
behalf of CTI, the payment was not due because Biohearts MyoCell process does not utilize technology claimed under the 141
patent. In addition, the Court found that Bioheart owed no royalties because it has not yet made any gross sales of
MyoCell.
The Court found in
Biohearts favor on its counterclaim seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a valid and enforceable agreement and its counterclaim
that Dr. Law breached his obligation under the License Addendum to provide Bioheart with all pertinent and critical information related to
our filing of an IND application with the FDA. The Court awarded Bioheart nominal damages of $1.00 on the latter

counterclaim, and dismissed Biohearts other counterclaims.
Judgment upon the Memorandum Opinion and Order was entered on March 18, 2009.
Subsequent to the Court rendering its
decision in the Action, the Plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court seeking reconsideration of its decision. The Companys response was filed on
April 20, 2009, and the Courts response was received on October 15, 2009. The Plaintiffs motion to alter or amend was granted in part to
clarify that Plaintiff failed to prove that the MyoCath catheter reads upon the claims of a patent other than the Schmidt catheter patent.
Plaintiffs motion was otherwise denied. The parties have until November 16, 2009 to file a notice of appeal with the United States Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
There is a risk that the Court may find
in favor of the Plaintiffs upon appeal. The Companys current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of
the Plaintiffs. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan and have a
significant adverse impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.
Due to the uncertainty related to these
proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be determined.
As previously disclosed, on October 24,
2007, the Company completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in its MARVEL Trial. As a result of the claim set forth in the
litigation discussed above, the Company recorded an accrual for $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was included in accrued expenses as of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
10. |
Contingency |
The Company believes that it may
have issued options to purchase common stock to certain of its employees, directors and consultants in California in violation of the registration or
qualification provisions of applicable California securities laws. As a result, the Company intends to make a rescission offer to these persons. The
Company will make this offer to all persons who have a continuing right to rescission, which it believes to include two persons. In the rescission
offer, in accordance with California law, the Company will offer to repurchase all unexercised options issued to these persons at 77% of the option
exercise price multiplied by the number of option shares, plus interest at the rate of 7% from the date the options were granted. Based upon the number
of options that were subject to rescission as of September 30, 2009, assuming that all such options are tendered in the rescission offer, the Company
estimated that its total rescission liability would be up to approximately $377,000 However, as the Company believes there is only a remote likelihood
the rescission offer will be accepted by any of these persons in an amount that would result in a material expenditure by the Company, no liability was
recorded as of September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

Company conducted a PIPE financing of 7,500,000 shares and 2,250,000 warrants that has been placed in 28 tranches. As of September 30, 2009, of that
amount, 3,985,010 shares and 1,195,503 warrants remained as of September 30, 2009. Gross proceeds were $3,581,912.
In October 2009, the Company sold,
through the PIPE above, an aggregate of 224,770 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase 67,431 shares of the Companys
common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $305,120. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $1.24 to $1.97 per
share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on
the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of
issuance.
The PIPE was closed on October 31,
2009, with total capital raised of $3,887,032. The Company is actively planning another private capital raise, but no terms have been agreed and no
placements have yet occurred.

Our Ability To Continue as a Going
Concern
Our independent registered public
accounting firm issued its report dated April 7, 2009 in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008,
that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009, have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going
concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of our common stock will lose all of their investment. Our
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Overview
We are committed to developing
and delivering treatments for congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases using cell technologies that regenerate damaged tissue and
intelligent devices that help monitor, diagnose and treat heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. Our goals are to improve a patients
quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations.
Biotechnology Product Candidates
Specific to biotechnology, we are
focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic
and acute heart damage. Our MyoCell product candidate is an innovative clinical muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue
within a patients heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients. Our most recent
clinical trials of MyoCell include the SEISMIC Trial, a completed 40-patient, randomized, multicenter, controlled, Phase II-a study conducted in Europe
and the MYOHEART Trial, a completed 20-patient, multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation trial conducted in the United States. We were cleared by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) to proceed with a 330-patient, multicenter Phase II/III trial of MyoCell in North America and Europe
(the MARVEL Trial). We completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in the MARVEL Trial on October 24, 2007. If the
results of the MARVEL Trial demonstrate statistically significant evidence of the safety and efficacy of MyoCell, we anticipate having a basis to ask
the FDA to consider the MARVEL Trial a pivotal trial. The SEISMIC, MYOHEART and MARVEL Trials have been designed to test the safety and efficacy of
MyoCell in treating patients with severe, chronic damage to the heart. Upon regulatory approval of MyoCell, we intend to generate revenue from the sale
of MyoCell cell-culturing services for treatment of patients by interventional cardiologists.
We are currently in the process
of evaluating our development timeline for MyoCell and the MARVEL Trial. To date, approximately 50 patients have been enrolled in the MARVEL Trial. We
have filed with the FDA an amendment to the clinical protocol for the MARVEL Trial to, among other things, seek to use, as part of the patient
protocol, mobile cardiac telemetry monitor recorders. In addition we have split the trial into two parts. Part I includes the first 20 patients who
were treated and already completed their six month follow-up visit. Part II will enroll approximately 150 patients. Data analysis is complete for Part
I patients and the final data has been released. Provided that the protocol amendment is approved and we are able to secure $5.0 million of additional
capital we intend to move forward with Marvel Part II in 2010. If we meet that timeline, we would expect interim trial data for these 150 patients to
be available in 2011. While we are attempting to
27
secure additional capital we have suspended enrollment in the
MARVEL Trial. As part of this evaluation process, we expect to analyze whether to focus resources towards the development, commercialization and/or
distribution of certain of our other product candidates, including, but not limited to MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells
genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic growth proteins and certain intelligent devices. In the event we suspend enrollment
in the MARVEL Part II Trial, we anticipate that we would continue to use our resources, to the extent available, to collect follow-up data on the
patients treated to date in the MARVEL Part I Trial.
There are currently 11 executed
clinical site contracts and one open Academic Research Organization contract (ARO) associated with the ongoing Marvel Clinical Trial. Clinical site
contracts include Minneapolis Heart Institute, Scripps Hospital, Florida Hospital, Jim Moran Heart Institute, Mayo Clinic, The Lindner Center, Swedish
Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel, Arizona Heart Institute, Cardiology P. C. and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. Bioheart is obligated for payments in
the aggregate amount of $375,772.72 for clinical site contracts. Bioheart also entered into a contract in support of the Marvel trial with Duke
Clinical Research Institute, an Academic Research Organization (ARO) on March 9, 2007. The total obligation for this contract is $469,843.99. In
addition, there are various consultants and core laboratories which provide support for Marvel. Biohearts total commitment towards contracts for
all consultants and Core Laboratories is $301,650.99.
A Phase I dose escalation trial of
Biohearts MyoCell SDF-1 has recently been approved by the US FDA. We intend to begin this trial in 2010.
In our pipeline, we have multiple
product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose cell treatment for acute heart
damage designed to be used in connection with the TGI 1200 tissue processing system, and MyoCell® SDF-1. Tissue Genesis, Inc., the entity
from whom we have obtained the worldwide right to sell or lease the TGI 1200 announced on November 13, 2008 that the TGI 1200 had been
certified with a CE Marking, thus making the system available throughout the European marketplace. The TGI 1200 is actively being marketed outside the
US in countries recognizing the CE mark. We have begun our first in man studies of adipose derived stem cells in patients with chronic heart ischemia
in Venezuela in September 2009. We understand that Tissue Genesis is in the process of evaluating the regulatory pathway in the United States that
should be pursued for the TGI 1200 device. We hope to demonstrate that our various product candidates are safe and effective complements to
existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.
Research Agreements
On April 13, 2007 Bioheart signed
a Research Agreement with Indiana University to sponsor pre-IND large animal research related to the use of adipose tissue derived stem cells for use
in treating acute myocardial infarction. The data from research will be used to file an IND related to this product platform. The total budget for this
study is $726,584.06.
Bioheart originally entered into
a Research Agreement with the University of Florida on July 1, 2004. The original purpose of this Research Agreement was to conduct small animal
research related to Biohearts SDF-1 gene modified cell therapy. The research continued into large animals and the contract has been amended six
times. The most recent budget amendment was to sponsor an additional $305,855.00 for large animal research which was signed on November 18,
2008.
Distribution Agreements
We are currently in the process
of negotiating and entering into distribution agreements with various companies pursuant to which the distributor will be granted exclusive rights to
market and promote the
28
Bioheart 3370-1 Heart Failure Monitor throughout a specific
territory. In consideration for identifying purchasers whom purchase or rent the Bioheart 3370-1 Heart Failure Monitor from the Company the Company
will pay to the distributor a set fee. The distributor will be required to meet certain quarterly minimum purchase commitments under the agreement. It
is expected that the agreement will have an initial term of one year and will be subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless
either party indicates intent to terminate the agreement no less than 60 days prior to the end of the then current term.
Effective as of October 30, 2008, we
entered into a distribution agreement with Monebo Technologies, Inc. (Monebo) pursuant to which we were granted non-exclusive rights to
distribute Monebos CardioBelt system throughout North America and Western Europe. This system provides ECG monitoring to heart patients
from the comfort of their own home. We are required to meet certain annual minimum purchase commitments under the distribution agreement. The agreement
has an initial term of two years and is subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates an intent to
terminate the agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The distribution agreement may be terminated by either party upon 180 days notice
for any reason or by either party immediately upon the other partys uncured default. In addition, Monebo may terminate the agreement in the event
we do not satisfy our annual minimum purchase commitment. We intend to commence distribution of the CardioBelt system during
2010.
In connection with the distribution
agreement, we also entered into a Master Software License Agreement with Monebo pursuant to which Monebo granted us a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable,
non-transferable license to certain software and algorithms to be used in connection with the CardioBelt system. We paid Monebo an upfront cash
fee for this license and will be required to pay certain additional fees upon installation. We will also be required to pay to Monebo royalty fees per
patient and software maintenance fees.
Effective as of April 3, 2008, we
entered into a distribution agreement with RTX Healthcare A/S (Denmark) (RTX) pursuant to which we secured worldwide, non-exclusive
distribution rights to the Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor, an interactive and simple-to-use at-home intelligent device designed specifically to
improve available healthcare to patients outside hospitals who are suffering from heart failure. The device, manufactured by RTX, has 510(k) market
clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for marketing in the United States and CE mark approval for marketing in Europe and other
countries that follow this mark. The compact Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor engages patients through personalized daily interactions and
questions, while collecting vital signs and transmitting the information directly into a database. The data are regularly monitored by a remotely
located medical professional, who watches for any abnormal readings that may signal a change in the patients health status. These changes are
reported back to the treating physician. We do not have any minimum purchase commitment under the agreement. However, the per unit purchase price
payable by us is inversely related to the number of units we purchase per annum. The distribution agreement has an initial term of two years and is
subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates an intent to terminate the agreement prior to the end of the
then current term. The distribution agreement may be terminated by either party upon the other partys default.
Operations
We conduct operations in one
business segment. We may organize our business into more discrete business units when and if we generate significant revenue from the sale of our
product candidates. Substantially all of our revenue since inception has been generated in the United States, and the majority of our long-lived assets
are located in the United States.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of
our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles
29
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 ASC Topic 718, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R)
using the modified prospective transition method. ASC Topic 718, formerly 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 ASC Topic 718, formerly 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 ASC Topic
718, formerly 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 ASC Topic 718. formerly SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including ASC
Topic 505, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction
with Selling Goods or Services. 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.
In its meeting of August 12,
2009, the Board of Directors approved the repricing of current employees stock options (other than Executive Officers). In accordance with
regulations concerning such a repricing and in conformance with generally accepted procedures, all options granted before August 12, 2008, were
approved to be repriced on the basis of the 5-day average closing price of BHRT, during the period of August 11 through August 17,
2009.
The following information applies
to the repricing which occurred as of October 8, 2009.

Revenue Recognition
Since inception, we have not
generated any material revenues from our lead product candidate. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, our revenue policy is to recognize revenues
from product sales and service transactions generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determined, collection
is reasonably assured and delivery of product or service has occurred.
We initially recorded payments
received by us pursuant to our agreements with Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (ACS), originally a subsidiary of Guidant Corporation
and now d/b/a Abbott Vascular, a division of Abbott Laboratories, as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on a pro rata basis as the catheters are
delivered pursuant to those agreements.
We initially recorded payments
received by us pursuant to a clinical supply agreement entered into in August 2007 with BHK, Inc. (BHK) as deferred revenue. Revenues are
recognized on a pro rata basis as the cell-culturing services are provided and are shown in development revenues. The costs associated with earning
these revenues are expensed as incurred and are included in research and development expenses in our statements of operations. In February 2005, we
entered into a joint venture agreement with Bioheart Korea, Inc., BHKs predecessor entity, pursuant to which we and BHK agreed to create a joint
venture company now known as Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned an 18% equity interest in Bioheart Manufacturing,
Inc. In February 2009, the Companys ownership interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. was reduced from 18% to approximately 6% as a result of an
investment in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. by a third party.
Research and Development
Activities
Research and development
expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners, are charged to expense as incurred. We expense amounts paid to obtain patents or
acquire licenses as the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid is uncertain.
Results of Operations
We are a development stage
company and our MyoCell product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and is not expected to until 2010, if
ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant net losses
and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue clinical trials, undertake new clinical trials, apply for regulatory
approvals, make capital expenditures, add information systems and personnel, make payments pursuant to our license agreements upon our achievement of
certain milestones, continue development of additional product candidates using our technology, establish sales and marketing capabilities and incur
the additional cost of operating as a public company.
Revenues
We recognized revenues of
$224,135 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to revenues of $49,771 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. In the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 all revenue generated was mainly from the shipment of MyoCath catheters.
Development Revenues
In the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2008, we recognized $97,000 in development revenues from cell-culturing services provided pursuant to the clinical supply agreement
entered with BHK, Inc. No such revenues were recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
31
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $123,714 in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $10,962 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2008. The manufacturing cost per catheter sold in
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately the same. However, a portion of the catheters sold in 2008 had no inventory
cost as they had been written off in prior years.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses
were $2,265,671 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $4,994,552 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease
of $2,728,881. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the amount of sponsored research and a reduction in costs related to our
SEISMIC, MYOHEART and MARVEL Trials.
The timing and amount of our
planned research and development expenditures is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing.
During the quarter, the Company
received notification that approximately $630,000 in pending projects (Indiana University, University of Florida, Northwestern University, and other
sites) were completed; however, the invoicing has not been received as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Company has accrued approximately
$630,000 for the completed contracts, which resulted in a charge to earnings during the quarter.
Marketing, General and Administrative
Marketing, general and
administrative expenses were $1,666,477 for the nine-month period ended in September 30, 2009, compared to $4,684,063 in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3,017,586. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses is attributable, to a decrease in
stock-based compensation expense, salaries & wages, legal fees and accounting fees.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of
interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was $18 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 compared to interest income of
$44,397 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower cash balances in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on the principal amount of the BlueCrest and the Bank of America Loans, accrued fees and interest earned by the guarantors of the Bank of America Loan, the amortization of related deferred loan costs and the amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America Loans. The fair value of the warrants originally issued in connection with the Bank of America Loan was amortized by the end of January 2008. Our debt carries interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 13.50% as of September 30, 2009.
Interest expense was $1,764,604 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009
compared to $1,922,766 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. Interest incurred on the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors totaled $889,604
and $896,000 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of deferred loan costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the
BlueCrest and Bank of America Loans totaled $598,000 and $1,016,000 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 also
includes $270,000 of interest expense related to the discount associated with the convertible debt issued and converted during the period. The nine-month periods ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 also include $7,000 and $10,766, respectively, for interest related to insurance financing and credit card interest.
32
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 2009, we continue to finance
our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated from financing activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating
activities was $1,543,189 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $9.0 million used in the nine months ended September 30,
2008.
Our use of cash for operations in
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $5.7 million. However, our net loss was significantly
offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $648,589, an increase in accounts payable of $696,601 and an increases in accrued
expenses of $1,497,152. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due to the refund of upfront payments under an agreement with the
contract research organization that we are utilizing for the MARVEL Trial. Accounts payable increased as we have sought to conserve cash until
significant additional financing is obtained.
Our use of cash for operations in
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $11.6 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and
other current assets of $1.1 million. The 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 granted in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $664,734, an increase in accrued expenses and deferred rent of
$803,130, an increase in accounts payable of $270,320, stock-based compensation of $1,199,029 and amortization of loan costs incurred in connection
with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $352,000.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities was $2,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. Net cash used in investing activities was $18,000 in the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2008. All of the cash utilized in investing activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was related to the
acquisition of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities was $1,517,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $5,012,000, in the nine-month period ended September 30,
2008.
In the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2009, we received net proceeds of $298,001 in connection with the issuance of convertible debt and shares of common
stock.
On February 22, 2008 we completed
our IPO of common stock pursuant to which we sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $5.25 for net proceeds of $1.45 million. The
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months period ended September 30, 2008 reflects our receipt of approximately $5.4 million of
Proceeds from initial public offering of common stock, net. The $5.4 million cash proceeds figure is approximately $3.95 million higher
than the $1.45 million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our payment of $3.95 million of various offering expenses.

Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital
Requirements
Our MyoCell 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
MyoCell product candidate until 2010, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and
anticipate incurring significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Historically, we have relied on
proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our incurrence of debt to provide the funds necessary to conduct our research and development activities
and to meet our other cash needs.
At September 30, 2009, we had
cash and cash equivalents totaling $87,518; however, our working capital deficit as of such date was $12.7 million. Our independent registered public
accounting firm issued its report dated April 7, 2009 in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008
that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
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.

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.

Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officer who certifies our financial reports, as well as to other
members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
We carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as well as our Principal Financial and Accounting
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer, as well as
our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The
controls that management sought to identify and evaluate were those processes designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys Principal
Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and implemented by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles..
Our controls and procedures were
designed at the reasonable assurance level. However, because of inherent limitations, any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired objectives of the control system. In addition, the
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management must apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits
of controls relative to their costs. Further, no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all errors, control issues
and instances of fraud will be prevented or detected. The design of any system of controls and procedures is also based in part on certain assumptions
regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
35
reporting. We are continuing to evaluate internal controls over
financial reporting and have improved our system for recording certain contractual obligations.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
On March 13, 2009, Judge Bernice
Bouie Donald of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in litigation brought
against us by Dr. Peter K. Law and Cell Transplants Asia Limited (CTAL) (collectively, the Plaintiffs), captioned Peter K. Law,
et al. v. Bioheart, Inc., No. 2:07-cv-2177 (the Action). The Action, which has been the subject of previous disclosures by us, was
commenced on March 9, 2007, and asserted claims against us and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, with respect to a license agreement entered into
between Bioheart, Inc. and Cell Transplants International, LLC (CTI) on February 7, 2000 (the Original License Agreement).
Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted us a license to certain patents related to heart muscle regeneration
and angiogenesis for the life of the patents. In July 2000, we and CTI, together with Dr. Law, executed an addendum to the Original License
Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of the terms of the Original License Agreement (the License Addendum).
In their amended complaint, Dr.
Law and CTAL asserted 14 breach of contract and related claims pertaining to the Original License Agreement and License Addendum, including, among
others, claims that we had breached obligations to provide shares of Bioheart common stock to Dr. Law, pay royalties on gross sales of
MyoCell, pay a $3 million milestone payment due upon our commencement of a bona fide Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology
claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States, and to refrain from sublicensing Plaintiffs patents.
Plaintiffs also sought a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum was unenforceable due to a lack of consideration and/or economic duress. At the
outset of the Action, the individual claim against Mr. Leonhardt was dismissed along with Plaintiffs claim for civil conspiracy, leaving 12
claims to be adjudicated.
We denied the material
allegations of the amended complaint, denied we had any liability to Plaintiffs, and asserted a number of defenses to Plaintiffs claims, as well
as counterclaims seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a legally valid and binding agreement and asserting that Dr. Law and/or CTI had
breached various obligations in the parties agreements.
Following the completion of
discovery, the Action was tried to the Court, without a jury, from September 22-25, 2008.
On March 13, 2009, the Court
rendered its decision in the Action, dismissing the amended complaint after finding that Plaintiffs had failed to establish any of their 12 remaining
claims. With respect to Plaintiffs claim for the $3 million milestone payment, the Court found that the payment was payable only to
CTI, not the Plaintiffs, and that CTI, a dissolved Tennessee limited liability company, had never been made a party to the Action and therefore
was not properly before the Court. The Court also found that, even assuming Plaintiffs could assert a claim for the milestone payment on
behalf of CTI, the payment was not due because Biohearts MyoCell process does not utilize technology claimed under the ‘141
patent. In addition, the Court found that we owed no royalties because we have not yet made any gross sales of
MyoCell.
The Court found in our favor on
our counterclaim seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a valid and enforceable agreement and our counterclaim that Dr. Law breached his
obligation under the License Addendum to provide Bioheart with all pertinent and critical information related to our filing of an IND
application with the FDA. The Court awarded us nominal damages of $1.00 on the latter counterclaim, and dismissed our other counterclaims. Judgment
upon the Memorandum Opinion and Order was entered on March 18, 2009.
37
Subsequent to the Court rendering
its decision in the Action, the Plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court seeking reconsideration of its decision. Our response was filed on April 20,
2009, and the Courts decision was received on October 15, 2009. The Plaintiffs motion to alter or amend was granted in part to clarify that
Plaintiffs failed to prove that the MyoCath catheter reads upon the claims of a patent other than the Schmidt catheter patent. Plaintiffs motion
was otherwise denied. The parties will have until November 16, 2009 to file a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit.
There is a risk that the Court
may find in favor of the Plaintiffs upon appeal. Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of the
Plaintiffs. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan and have a
significant adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.
Due to the uncertainty related to
these proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be determined.
As previously disclosed, on
October 24, 2007, we completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in our MARVEL Trial. As a result of the claim set forth in the
litigation discussed above, we recorded an accrual for $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was included in accrued expenses as of March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008.
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.
38
Item 1A. Risk
Factors
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, 2008, as amended by Amendment
No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of
Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Private Placement Convertible
Debt
In July 2009, Bruce Meyers and Dana
Smith (jointly, the Lenders) funded a total $120,000 loan to the Company. The Loan was in the nature of convertible debt and was evidenced
by an unsecured promissory note (the Note), that was convertible into common stock of the Company at a price that was 22.5% less than the
average of the closing bid prices for the Companys shares for the five (5) days prior to the Lenders election to exercise their conversion
right under the Note. The Note was to bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with interest payable due at maturity. The terms sheet provides that
all unpaid interest (and principal) will be due and payable on the date that is the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the closing date of
the Loan or the closing of a financing in an amount that is equal to or greater than $3.0 million that will satisfy the Companys obligation under
its loan with BlueCrest. However, the Lenders already elected to convert the entire amount of the Loan to shares of the Companys common
stock.
Accordingly, the aggregate number of
unregistered and restricted shares of the Companys common stock issued in connection with, and as a result of the conversion of, the Loan were
355,294 shares. The Company will have no obligation to file any registration statement with respect to the shares, except that the Lenders will have
customary piggyback registration rights.
Private Placement Common Stock and
Warrants
In July 2009, the
Company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of 140,850 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase 42,255 shares of the
Companys common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $100,000. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of
$0.85 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period
commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of
issuance.
In August 2009, the
Company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of 618,850 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase 185,655 shares of the
Companys common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $351,000. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of
$0.64 to $0.74 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the
period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of
issuance.
In September 2009, the Company sold, in
a private placement, an aggregate of 451,410 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase 135,423 shares of the Companys
common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $375,082. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $0.73 to $1.97 per
share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on
the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of
issuance.
In October 2009, the Company sold,
through the private placement, an aggregate of 224,770 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase 67,431 shares of the
Companys common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $305,120. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of
$1.24 to $1.97 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in
39
whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the
date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.
The PIPE was closed on October 31,
2009, with total capital raised of $3,887,032.
Item 5. Other
Information
On August 12, 2009, the Board of
Directors decided that several of its Directors join the Companys executive management team. In addition to assuming the position of Chairman of
the Companys Board of Directors, Karl E. Groth, Ph.D., became the Chief Executive Officer; Peggy A. Farley became Chief Operating Officer; and
Mark P. Borman became Chief Financial Officer. Howard Leonhardt, who resigned from the Board of Directors, continues as Chief Scientific and Technology
