NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements follows:

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis and business presentation

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in August, 1999. The Company is in the cardiovascular sector of the cell technology industry delivering cell therapies and biologics that help address congestive heart failure, lower limb ischemia, chronic heart ischemia, acute myocardial infarctions and other issues. The primary business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine/cell therapy training services, revenues realized from an Asset Sale and Lease Agreement related to the segment of the Company business involving collecting, growing and banking cell cultures and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic. To date, the Company has not generated significant sales revenues in that they remain less than their total operating expenses, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a research and development business enterprise.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

At the time of each transaction, management assesses whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based upon the payment terms of the transaction. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the client and the creditworthiness of the client.

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are from the sale of test kits and equipment, training services, patient treatments and laboratory services, and cell banking.

Revenues for kits and equipment sold are not recorded until kits and equipment are received by the customer. Revenues from trainings are recognized when the training occurs. Any cash received as a deposit for trainings are recorded by the Company as a liability.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(unaudited)

Patient treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.

Revenues for cell banking sales are accounted for as Multiple-Element Arrangements under ASC 605-10 which incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. Because the Company sells its services separately, on more than a limited basis and at a price within a narrow range, the Company was able to allocate revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE). The multiple elements include stem cell banking, dose retrieval and yearly storage fees.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred revenues of $356,105 and $198,432, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Any charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,154 and $12,487, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. During the periods presented, there were no inventory write-downs.

Investments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 323-10, Investments-Equity Methods and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323-10) which requires the accounting for investments where the Company can exert significant influence, but not control of a joint venture or equity investment. The Company accounted for its 33 percent member interest ownership of U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC utilizing the equity method of accounting. (See Note 3)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(unaudited)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. For leased equipment, assets are the recorded at the estimated present value of the future minimum lease payments. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash. As of September 30, 2017, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 71,630,770 shares of common stock, 20,305,459 shares of which were vested. (See Note 10).

Net Loss per Common Share, basic and diluted

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

	September 30, 2017		September 30, 2016
Convertible notes payable		-		147,287,847
Series A convertible preferred stock		-		20,000,000
Options to purchase common stock		71,630,770		23,555,777
Warrants to purchase common stock		135,996		139,145
Totals		71,766,766		190,982,769

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts does not exceed FDIC insurance limits.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $729,813, with the same related party above, representing 18% of the Company’s revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $4,047,415, of which two customers represented 10%, and 11% of the Company’s revenues respectively, one of which is a related party (US Stem Cell Clinic LLC, a partly owned investment in which the Company holds a 33% member interest). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $2,118,981, with the same related party above representing 13% of the Company’s revenues.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $3,753 and $12,242 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively; and $1,847 and $9,313 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Derivative Instrument Liability

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

(unaudited)

At December 31, 2016 and through March 8, 2017, the Company had outstanding convertible notes and warrants that contained embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features and reset provisions. At September 30, 2017, there were no outstanding convertible notes or warrants with these features. (See Note 6 and Note 8).

Long Term Deposits

Long term deposits are comprised of the following:

On March 3, 2017, the Company entered into a customer purchase agreement whereby the Company agreed to sell, for $50,000, the first 5,000 customers of the cell banking business after the effective date of the equipment sale/leaseback agreement with rights to purchase additional customers at a price of $20 per customer. There is no reduction in the selling price should the new customers be fewer than 5,000. The effective date of the sale is upon the expiry or early termination of the related equipment lease transaction (See Notes 4 and 6).

On March 3, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement of intellectual property whereby the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s worldwide rights, title or interest in certain intellectual and other property (as defined) associated with the cell banking business for $50,000. The effective date of the sale is upon the expiry or early termination of the related equipment lease transaction (See Notes 4 and 6).

In connection with the March 3, 2017 asset purchase agreement, the CEO and CSO of US Stem Cell, Inc. were also retained as CEO and CSO of American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence, which is owned by General American Capital Partners (GACP), to help with scientific and successful operational deployment of clinics. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that with continued oversight this will not diminish the responsibilities of the CEO and CSO of the Company and contends that the successful deployment of American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence will lead to the financial value and revenue growth of U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. through sales of its products and services at American Stem Cell Center of Excellence clinics.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.

Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.

Table of Contents

U.S. STEM CELL, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(unaudited)

When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.

Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception.

Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of adoption of ASU 2017-11on its financial statements.

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements during nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred net losses of $3,828,368 and has a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $5,304,333. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The Company’s primary source of operating funds in 2016 and 2017 has been from revenue generated from sales and cash proceeds from the sale of common stock and the issuance of convertible and other debt. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, but expects these conditions to improve in 2018 and beyond as it develops its business model. The Company has stockholders’ deficiencies at September 30, 2017 and requires additional financing to fund future operations.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, to obtain additional funding sources and realize revenues from the Asset Sale and Lease Agreement described herein. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts or revenues realized from the Asset Sale and Lease Agreement will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Lab and Medical Equipment Capitalized Lease

On March 3, 2017, the Company entered into an asset sale and lease agreement (sale/leaseback transaction; “Asset Sale and Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company sold certain lab, medical and other equipment relating to the cell banking business for $400,000 and leased back the sold equipment over a three year term. The Company initially recorded the equipment and the capitalized lease liability at the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments of $619,825. This amount was reduced for lease payments made of $151,169 and increased by $324,680 as of September 30, 2017 due to the increase in the effective interest rate from 75.73% to 94.04% resulting in an estimated present value of minimum lease payment of $793,335 as of September 30, 2017. The net $173,511 adjustment was recorded as a non-cash interest expense.

The lease includes a base monthly rental payment of $20,000, due the first day of each calendar month. In addition, the Company is required to pay 2.3%, 22.5%, and 31.6% of revenues collected on deposits arising from cell banking business for years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. At the expiration of the lease, the Company is required to return all leased equipment and along with any maintenance records, logs, etc. in the Company’s possession to the lessor with no right of repurchase.

The Company determined that the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeded 90% of the estimated fair value of the equipment and therefore classified the equipment sale/lease as a capitalized lease. The effective interest rate of the capitalized lease is estimated at 94.04% based on expected revenue estimations.

NOTE 8 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

In fiscal 2016, the Company issued convertible promissory notes.

These promissory notes were convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these promissory notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of these notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the remaining promissory notes were converted or paid off in full settlement.

The fair value of the embedded derivative at note payoff, in the amount of $185,505, was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 247.25%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.87%, (4) expected live of 0.54 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.0271 per share. The Company reclassified the determined fair value from liability to equity at the time of the payoff.

The Company recorded a loss on change in derivative liabilities of $1,891,205 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The remaining outstanding derivative liability at September 30, 2017 is $-0-

Based upon ASC 840-15-25 (EITF Issue 00-19, paragraph 11) the Company had adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible promissory notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

NOTE 10 — STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Options

In December 1999, the Board of Directors and shareholders adopted the 1999 Officers and Employees Stock Option Plan, or the Employee Plan, and the 1999 Directors and Consultants Stock Option Plan, or the Director Plan. The Employee Plan and the Director Plan are collectively referred to herein as the “Plans” The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. The objectives of the Plans include attracting and retaining key personnel by encouraging stock ownership in the Company by such persons. In February 2010, the Directors & Consultants Plan was amended to extend the termination date of the Plan to December 1, 2011.

On April 1, 2013, the Board of Directors approved, subject to subsequently received shareholder approval, the establishment of the Bioheart 2013 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, or the “2013 Omnibus Plan”. The 2013 Omnibus Plan initially reserved up to fifty thousand (50,000) shares of common stock for issuance. On August 4, 2014, the Board of Directors approved to set the reserve to one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of common stock for issuance and to close the 1999 Officers and Employees Stock Option Plan. On February 2, 2015, at the annual meeting of shareholders, the majority of shareholders approved the 2013 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan.

NOTE 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On August 30, 2016, Northstar Biotech Group, LLC filed suit against the Company seeking a declaratory judgment as to whether its 20,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares were the subject of the Company’s reverse stock split effective November 4, 2015. On March 1, 2017, Northstar and the Company entered into a settlement agreement related to this dispute (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, Northstar, previously a holder of Company preferred stock, has converted such preferred stock to twenty million (20,000,000) shares of common stock. In addition, and separate and apart from the conversion, Northstar received Eleven Million (11,000,000) shares of common stock. NorthStar will receive ten percent (10%) of all Company international sales (based on a gross sales basis). Furthermore, a NorthStar designee, Greg Knutson, was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company and two Company directors, Michael Tomas and Kristin Comella, will each exercise their prior NorthStar options to each receive a Five percent (5%) Member Interest in NorthStar. The parties agreed to a mutual release and NorthStar agreed to terminate any UCC lien on the Company assets previously filed for the benefit of NorthStar.

The Company is subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. There was no outstanding litigation as of September 30, 2017 other then described above.

NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs.

U.S. STEM CELL, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(unaudited)

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

As of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1 or 2 disclosures.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in note 8. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Notes 6 and 8 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of September 30, 2017:

	Derivative Liability
Balance, December 31, 2016		297,156
Total (gains) losses
Transfers out of Level 3 upon conversion or payoff of notes payable		(2,188,361	)
Mark-to-market at September 30, 2017:		1,891,205
Balance, September 30, 2017	$	-
Net loss for the period included in earnings relating to the liabilities held at September 30, 2017	$	(1,891,205	)

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. The Company’s stock increased approximately 942% from December 31, 2016 to March 8, 2017 (final conversion of convertible notes). As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

The estimated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in a higher fair value measurement.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated March 15, 2017, in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements as of December 31, 2016, that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017 also describes the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Overview

We are an enterprise in the regenerative medicine/cellular therapy industry. We are focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of cell based therapeutics that prevent, treat or cure disease by repairing and replacing damaged or aged tissue, cells and organs, and restoring their normal function. Our business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine/cell therapy training services, revenues realized from an Asset Sale and Lease Agreement (See Note 6 of the Financial Statements and description below) related to the segment of our company business involving collecting, growing and banking cell cultures treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic.

US Stem Cell Training, Inc. (“SCT”), an operating division of our company, is a content developer of regenerative medicine/cell therapy informational and training materials for physicians and patients. SCT also provides in-person and online training courses which are delivered through in-person presentations at SCT’s state of the art facilities and globally at university, hospital and physician’s office locations as well as through online webinars. Additionally, SCT provides hands-on clinical application training for physicians and health care professionals interested in providing regenerative medicine / cell therapy procedures.

Vet biologics, (“VBI”), an operating division of our company, is a veterinary regenerative medicine company committed to providing veterinarians with the ability to deliver the highest quality regenerative medicine therapies to dogs, cats and horses. VBI provides veterinarians with extensive regenerative medicine capabilities including the ability to isolate regenerative stem cells from a patient’s own adipose (fat) tissue directly on-site within their own clinic or stall-side.

US Stem Cell Clinic, LLC, (“SCC”), a partially owned investment of our company (in which we have a 33% member interest), is a physician run regenerative medicine/cell therapy clinic providing cellular treatments for patients afflicted with neurological, autoimmune, orthopedic and degenerative diseases. SCC is operating in compliance with the FDA 1271s which allow for same day medical procedures to be considered the practice of medicine. We isolate stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue and also utilize platelet rich plasma.

All living complex organisms start as a single cell that replicates, differentiates (matures) and perpetuates in an adult organism through its lifetime. Cellular therapy is the process that uses cells to prevent, treat or cure disease, or regenerate damaged or aged tissue. To date, the most common type of cell therapy has been the replacement of mature, functioning cells such as through blood and platelet transfusions. Since the 1970s, first bone marrow and then blood and umbilical cord-derived stem cells have been used to restore bone marrow, as well as blood and immune system cells damaged by the chemotherapy and radiation that are used to treat many cancers. These types of cell therapies are standard of practice world-wide and are typically reimbursed by insurance.

Within the field of cell therapy, research and development using stem cells to treat a host of diseases and conditions has greatly expanded. Stem cells (in either embryonic or adult forms) are primitive and undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into or otherwise affect many different cells, such as white blood cells, nerve cells or heart muscle cells. Our cell therapy development efforts are focused on the use of adult stem cells; those cells which are found in the muscle, fat tissue and peripheral blood.

There are two general classes of cell therapies: Patient Specific Cell Therapies (“PSCTs”) and Off-the-Shelf Cell Therapies (“OSCTs”). In PSCTs, cells collected from a person (“donor”) are transplanted, with or without modification, to a patient (“recipient”). In cases where the donor and the recipient are the same individual, these procedures are referred to as “autologous”. In cases in which the donor and the recipient are not the same individual, these procedures are referred to as “allogeneic.” Autologous cells offer a low likelihood of rejection by the patient and we believe the long-term benefits of these PSCTs can best be achieved with an autologous product. In the case of OSCT, donor cells are expanded many fold in tissue culture, and large banks of cells are frozen in individual aliquots that may result in treatments for as many as 10,000 people from a single donor tissue. By definition, OSCTs are always allogeneic in nature.

Various adult stem cell therapies are in clinical development for an array of human diseases, including autoimmune, oncologic, neurologic and orthopedic, among other indications. While no assurances can be given regarding future medical developments, we believe that the field of cell therapy holds the promise to better the human experience and minimize or ameliorate the pain and suffering from many common diseases and/or from the process of aging.

According to the Scalar Market Research Stem Cell Therapy Analysis Global Revenue, Trends, Growth, Share, Size and Forecast to 2022, the stem cell therapy market is worth USD 11.99 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 60.94 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 31.1% from 2016 to 2022.

Specific to cellular therapy, we are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of autologous cellular therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage as well as vascular and autoimmune diseases.

In our pipeline, we have multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including MyoCell and MyoCell SDF-1. MyoCell and MyoCell SDF-1 are autologous muscle-derived cellular therapies designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patient’s heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients.

MyoCell SDF-1 is intended to be an improvement to MyoCell. MyoCell SDF-1 is similar to MyoCell but the myoblast cells to be injected for use in MyoCell SDF-1 are modified prior to injection by an adenovirus vector or non-viral vector so that they will release extra quantities of the SDF-1 protein, which expresses angiogenic factors.

AdipoCell is a patient-derived cell therapy proposed for the treatment of a variety of degenerative diseases. We hope to demonstrate that these product candidates are safe and effective complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.

Our mission is to advance to market novel regenerative medicine and cellular therapy products that substantially benefit humankind. Our business strategy is, to the extent possible, finance our clinical development pipeline through revenue (cash in-flows) generated through the marketing and sales of unique educational and training services, animal health products and personalized cellular therapeutic treatments.

A fundamental shift in venture capital investment strategies where, management believes, financial sponsorship is now directed toward commercial or near commercial enterprises has required us to adapt our mission combining immediate revenue generating opportunities with longer-term development programs. Accordingly, we have developed a multifaceted portfolio of revenue generating products and services in our US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell Clinic, operating divisions that will, if successful, financially support its clinical development programs. Our goal is to maximize shareholder value through the generation of short-term profits that increase cash in-flows and decrease the need for venture financings – a modern biotechnology company development strategy.

Today, our company is a combination of opportunistic business enterprises. We estimate that the products and services we offer through US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell Clinics has the potential, although we cannot provide assurances as to if and when it will be accomplished, to drive up to $100 million dollars in cumulative peak annual revenues. What we are establishing is a foundation of value in the products and services we are and plan to sell from US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell clinics. Our strategy is to expand the revenues generated from each of these operating divisions and to reinvest the profits we generate into our clinical development pipeline.

On November 9, 2016, we executed a Commercial Agency Agreement with High Rising Group Company (General Trading and Construction) and subsequently, on February 10, 2017, we authorized High Rising Group Company as an independent contractor and Licensee for our company for the territories of Kuwait and the Middle East (expressly excluding prohibited countries pursuant to the Patriot Act and The Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012). The intent of the agreement is for High Rising Group Company to establish clinics specializing in regenerative medicine, stem cell treatment and therapy, including stem cell bank, training, and all related stem cell machines and equipment. The US Stem Cell Clinic in Kuwait is currently under construction and is expected to open before the end of the year

On January 29th, 2015 we announced an update and diversification of our clinical development pipeline. Our cardiovascular and vascular product candidates have been streamlined, putting, we believe, our best opportunities at the forefront of our efforts. The MYOCELL and MYOCELL SDF-1 candidates will, in our opinion, advance forward in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). We are in active prospective partnering discussion for the MYOCELL SDF-1 program. Partnering, we contend, will enhance our capabilities, reduce our development cost through cost sharing and potentially accelerate our time to approval and commercialization. We will apply our ADIPOCELL to a variety of indications. We believe that updating and diversifying our clinical development programs increases the probability of our success, brings operational and fiscal clarity to our company, and will ultimately enhance shareholder value.

On March 3, 2017, we entered into an asset sale and lease agreement (sale/leaseback transaction; “Asset Sale and Lease Agreement”), with GACP (General American Capital Partners) Stem Cell Bank LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“GACP) whereby we sold certain lab, medical and other equipment relating to the cell banking business for $400,000 and leased back the sold equipment over a three year term. The lease includes a base monthly rental payment of $20,000, due the first day of each calendar month. In addition, we are required to pay 2.3%, 22.5% and 31.6% of revenues collected on deposits arising from cell banking business for years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. At the expiration of the lease, we are required to return all leased equipment and along with any maintenance records, logs, etc. in our possession to the lessor with no right of repurchase. In addition, GACP has contractually agreed to invest an additional Two and a half Million Dollars ($2,500,000) to open ten (10) stem cell clinics in the United States within 3 years--with a penalty provision to our benefit for shortfalls if less than 6 clinics are opened within 24 months.

American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence are clinics derived from the investment group behind the Asset Purchase and Leaseback Agreement. American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence provide comprehensive stem cell treatments using innovative technologies and the latest research with the intent that after treatment, the body’s own healing potential naturally repairs and regenerates damaged tissue. With a new clinic in Miami, Florida and, as we intend, additional clinics opening soon around the country, management contends that American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence provides comprehensive stem cell treatments using the U.S. Stem Cell Inc. innovative technologies and the latest regenerative medicine research. U.S. Stem Cell’s team of scientists have pioneered these in-clinic regenerative medicine protocols and, in our estimation, have helped thousands of patients through their partly-owned subsidiary U.S. Stem Cell Clinic. American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence would like to replicate this success and have partnered and, with the Board of Directors’ approval and continued oversight that this will not diminish their responsibilities to our company, have retained the professional services of both Kristin Comella and Mike Tomas AS CSO AND CEO respectively to help with scientific and successful operational deployment of their clinics. The board of directors contends that the successful deployment of American stem cell centers of excellence will lead to the financial value and revenue growth of US Stem Cell, Inc through sales of our products and services at American Stem Cell Center of Excellence clinics.

We will continue to evaluate and act upon opportunities to increase our top line revenue position and that correspondingly increase cash in-flows. These opportunities include but are not limited to the development and marketing of new products and services, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing deals and more.

Further, if the opportunity presents itself whereby we can raise additional capital at a reasonable fair market value, our management will do so. Accordingly, we plan to continue in our efforts to restructure, equitize or eliminate legacy balance sheet issues that are obstacles to market capitalization appreciation and capital fund raising.

Results of Operations Overview

We are a research and development company and our MyoCell product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and is not expected generate revenues until the late 2017 or into fiscal 2018, 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.

Table of Contents

We follow Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10. Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employee and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

In awarding our common stock, our Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

·	our financial position and historical financial performance;
·	arm’s length sales of our common stock;
·	the development status of our product candidates;
·	the business risks we face;
·	vesting restrictions imposed upon the equity awards; and
·	an evaluation and benchmark of our competitors; and
·	prospects of a liquidity event.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Table of Contents

Our primary sources of revenue are from the sale of test kits and equipment, training services, patient treatments and laboratory services, and cell banking.

Patient treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.

Revenues for cell banking sales are accounted for as Multiple-Element Arrangements under ASC 605-10 which incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. Because our company sells its services separately, on more than a limited basis and at a price within a narrow range, we were able to allocate revenue based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE). The multiple elements include stem cell banking, dose retrieval and yearly storage fees.

Research and Development Activities

We account for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Our company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

Derivative financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for us on October 1, 2009. We have identified the embedded derivatives related to the issued Notes and anti-dilutive warrants. These embedded derivatives included in our debt contain certain conversion features and reset provision. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date. At September 30, 2017, we no longer have convertible notes with these embedded features.

Inflation

Our opinion is that inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our operations.

Climate Change

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

In the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we received $250,000 from the sale of shares of our common stock and proceeds from restructuring of financing agreement of $154,785, net with repayments of notes payable of $350,298 and $1,083,559 related party notes.

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 commercialization of MyoCell, 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, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $956,615. However our working capital deficit as of such date was approximately $5.3 million. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated March 15, 2017 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2016 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and Note 2 of our unaudited financial statement for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 addresses the issue of 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017 were not effective, for the same reasons as previously disclosed under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the our last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
