NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Overview
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 business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient-based regenerative medicine/cell therapy training services, cell collection and cell storage services, the sale of cell collection and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of cell therapy clinics. To date, the Company has not generated significant 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.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are ordinary and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”), filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on March 31, 2022. These interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other period.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
The accompanying 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, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $10,330 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $13,101,630. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net loss was $1,725,922 and net cash used in operating activities was $197,115. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds has been from revenue generated from sales with additional cash proceeds from the sale of common stock and the issuances of promissory notes and other debt. The Company has experienced net losses from operations since inception, but it expects these conditions to improve in the future as it develops its business model. The Company had a stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2022 and requires additional financing to fund future operations.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts 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.

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 stock-based compensation, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash
The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.
Fair Value Measurements
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, 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.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition, industry reputation, and other judgmental factors considered by the Company’s management. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security interest to support accounts receivable. Based on trends and specific factors, the customer’s credit terms may be modified, including required payment upon delivery.
The Company performs regular on-going credit evaluations of its customers as deemed relevant. As events, trends, and circumstance warrant, the Company’s management estimates the amounts that are more likely than not to be uncollectible. These amounts are recognized as bad debt expense and are reflected within selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying statements of operations.
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $75,000.

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 49.9% member interest ownership of U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC and its 49% member interest ownership of U.S. Stem Cell Clinic of the Villages utilizing the equity method of accounting (See Note 4).
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are from the sale of test kits and equipment, training services, patient treatments, 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 in-person trainings are recognized when the training occurs and revenues from on demand online trainings are recognized when the customer purchases the rights to the training course. Any cash received as a deposit for trainings are recorded by the Company as a liability.
Patient treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.
Revenues for cell banking are accounted for as multiple performance obligations as described in ASC 606 and 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 stand-alone pricing. The multiple performance obligations include stem cell banking, dose retrieval and yearly storage fees. Revenues for stem cell banking and dose retrieval is recognized at the point of service and revenues for the yearly storage fees is recognized over the term of the banking contract, which is typically one year with annual renewals.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract liabilities of $58,000 and $59,500, respectively, all of which relates to the Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement.
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 did not incur any research and development expenses during the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
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.
Net Loss per Common Share
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 “if converted” method.
The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share as 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:

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ data to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 in the first quarter of 2022 utilizing the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company adjusted its beginning balance sheet with a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $384,174, offset by a decrease in debt discount on convertible debt of $241,589 and an increase in accumulated deficit of $142,585.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable. ASU No. 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Company does not expect the new guidance will have a material impact on 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.

Hunton & Williams
At December 31, 2016, the Company has two outstanding notes payable with interest at 8% per annum due at maturity. The two notes, $61,150 and $323,822, are payable in one balloon payment upon the date the Noteholder provides written demand, however the Company is not obligated to make payments until the Northstar Biotech Group, LLC (or successor) Loan is paid off.
On August 31, 2017, the Company and the noteholder entered into a Note Forbearance, Modification and Repayment Agreement (“Agreement”). The two notes, $61,150 and $323,822, were payable in one balloon payment upon the date of a written demand and upon certain triggering events occurring. The sum of unpaid principal and accumulated interest for both notes as of August 31, 2017 of $747,680 and an accounts payable of $40,596 result in an aggregate balance due of $788,276.
The noteholder agreed to accept full payment of their obligation over a four (4) year period in 48 monthly installments on an adjusted debt obligation in aggregate of $624,000 (reducing the outstanding balance), with such payments staggered in amounts such that the Company will pay $10,000 monthly the first year, $12,000 monthly the second year, $14,000 monthly the third year, and $16,000 monthly the final year. In addition, the noteholder agreed to suspend accrual interest on the notes commencing September 1, 2017.
The Agreement remains in full force and effect provided the Company continues to make the monthly payments, there is no event of default as defined in the notes and an agreement to a subordination agreement by Northstar Biotech Group, LLC, which has been provided. In May 2019, the Company did not make the required scheduled payment. In September 2019, the noteholder agreed to waive their default rights under the agreement provided a minimum of $5,000 was paid by the end of 2019 and to reduce the required monthly payment to $500 per month commencing in January 2020. The Company satisfied the $5,000 payment requirement by the end of 2019 and commenced making the required $500 monthly payments in January 2020. The Company last made a $500 payment in March 2021 and thereby became delinquent until making three $1,500 payments during the fourth quarter of 2021 (a total of $6,000 in payments were made during 2021) thereby becoming current as of December 31, 2021.
The Company imputed an interest rate of 5% and discounted the note accordingly. The imputed debt discount of $69,700 was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. In September 2019, the Company was in default and was negotiating a revised payment structure. Thus, the remaining unamortized debt discount was charged to interest expense at September 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the remaining carrying value of the note was $376,500 and $380,000, respectively.

Northstar Biotechnology Group, LLC
On February 29, 2012, a promissory note issued to BlueCrest Master Fund Limited (“BlueCrest”) was assigned to Northstar Biotechnology Group, LLC (“Northstar”), owned partly by certain directors and existing shareholders of the Company at the time, including Dr. William P. Murphy Jr., Dr. Samuel Ahn and Charles Hart. At the date of the assignment, the principal amount of the BlueCrest note was $544,267 (the “Note”).
On March 30, 2012, the Company and Northstar agreed to extend until May 1, 2012 the initial payment date for any and all required monthly under the Note, such that the first of the four monthly payments required under the Note will be due and payable on May 1, 2012 and all subsequent payments will be due on a monthly basis thereafter commencing on June 1, 2012, and to waive any and all defaults and/or events of default under the Note with respect to such payments. The Company did not make the required payment, and as a result, was in default of the revised agreement. The Company renegotiated the terms of the Note and Northstar agreed to suspend the requirement of principal payments by the Company and allow payment of interest-only in common stock.
On September 21, 2012, the Company issued 5,000 common stock purchase warrants to Northstar that was treated as additional interest expense upon issuance.
On October 1, 2012, the Company and Northstar entered into a limited waiver and forbearance agreement providing a recapitalized new note balance comprised of all sums due Northstar with a maturity date extended perpetually. The Company agreed to issue 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 10,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $210,000 as payment towards outstanding debt, default interest, penalties, professional fees outstanding and due Northstar. In addition, the Company executed a security agreement granting Northstar a lien on all patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and intellectual property rights of any nature, as well as the results of all clinical trials, know-how for preparing Myoblasts, old and new clinical data, existing approved trials, all right and title to Myoblasts, clinical trial protocols and other property rights.
In addition, the Company granted Northstar a perpetual license on products as described for resale, relicensing, and commercialization outside the United States. In connection with the granted license, Northstar shall pay the Company a royalty of up to 8% on revenues generated.
Effective October 1, 2012, the interest rate was 12.85% per annum. The parties agreed, as of February 28, 2013, to reduce the interest rate to 7% per annum.
In connection with the consideration paid, Northstar waived, from the effective date through the earlier of termination or expiration of the agreement, satisfaction of the obligations as described in the forbearance agreement.
In 2012, 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were approved to be issued, which was subsequently increased to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company was obligated to issue additional preferred stock equal in lieu of payment of cash of accrued and unpaid interest on each six-month anniversary of the effective date (October 1, 2012). In lieu of the initial two payments in preferred stock, the parties agreed to modify the voting rights of the subsequently cancelled Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from 20 votes per share on matters to be voted on by the common stockholders to 25 votes per share on matters to be voted on by the common stockholders and all prior and subsequent payments of interest will be in common stock. The Company is required to issue additional shares of its common stock (as amended), in lieu of cash, each six-month anniversary of the effective date for any accrued and unpaid interest.
On September 30, 2013, the Company issued 8,772 shares of its common stock as payment of $100,000 towards principal.
On December 24, 2013, the Company issued 3,916 shares of its common stock as payment of accrued interest through June 30, 2013 of $85,447.

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 non-performance. 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.
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.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1, 2 or 3 disclosures.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

Royalty Agreement / Middle East
On November 9, 2016, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement whereby the Company granted High Rise Group Company the exclusive right to the Company’s intellectual property (as defined) for the licensed use and development in Kuwait and other GCC/Middle East countries for 25 years in exchange for a payment of $75,000 and a 5% royalty generated under the agreement. The licensing agreement is recorded as contract liabilities and amortized over the term of the agreement. The carrying balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $58,000 and $59,500, respectively.
The intent is for U.S. Stem Cell Middle East to offer regenerative treatment options to patients, based on U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. products and technologies like MyoCell™. To date, the first clinic in Kuwait City has been completed but has not begun operations as High Rising Group has not yet been able to secure regulatory approvals to operate.
Litigation
On September 17, 2015, a product liability lawsuit was filed in Broward County, specifically Patsy Bade v. Bioheart, Inc. US Stem Cell Clinics LLC, Alejandro Perez, ARNP, and Shareen Greenbaum, M.D., and on November 30, 2015, a product liability lawsuit was filed in Broward County, specifically Elizabeth Noble v. Bioheart, Inc. US Stem Cell Clinics LLC, Alejandro Perez, ARNP, and Shareen Greenbaum, M.D. During the year ended December 31, 2016, both matters settled by the Company’s insurance policy with no additional cost to the Company, except for the obligation to pay the insurance company deductible of $100,000, of which $11,000 was paid in fiscal 2017. The remaining amount due under this settlement is $25,810 and $26,600 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in accounts payable.
On July 27, 2020, Brenda Leonhardt filed a lawsuit against U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., Mike Tomas, Dr. William P. Murphy, Jr., Richard T. Spencer, III, Mark Borman, Dr. Samuel S. Ahn, Charles Hart, Sheldon T. Anderson, Greg Knutson, and Kristin Comella in Broward County Court, Case No. CACE-10-012095. The lawsuit alleges breach of a settlement agreement, breach of contract with respect to failure to make a balloon payment under a promissory note, and several tort theories such as misrepresentation and fraudulent transfer. The Company denies most of the allegations in the lawsuit and moved to dismiss almost all of the claims. The motions to dismiss was recently denied. U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. does note that it provided a promissory note to Ms. Leonhardt, which has not been fully satisfied. The stated due date of the promissory note was June 1, 2020 in the amount of $1,397,762.
The Company, as one of the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) dated June 3, 2019 related to certain medical procedures. Without admitting any liability, and as part of that Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a five-year 5.25% unsecured promissory note, dated June 15, 2019, in the principal amount of $500,000, payable in monthly increments of $5,000 per month, with a final balloon payment due on June 15, 2024. Accordingly, the Company recognized Pre-litigation expense of $500,000. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the remaining carrying value of the note was $403,621 and $413,239, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the Company is delinquent four payments and, if not cured, would be considered in default of the promissory note underlying the Agreement.
On February 10, 2021, as part of a settlement agreement, the Company transferred its entire member interest in U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC to Dr. Kristin Comella as settlement for $100,000 of accrued interest owed to Dr. Comella (See Note 4, 5 and 6).

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 June 30, 2022 other than that described above.
Government Claim
On May 9, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an injunctive action, specifically United States of America v. U.S. Stem Clinic, LLC, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., Kristin C. Comella, and Theodore Gradel. The Complaint alleges, among other matters that the defendants manufacture “stromal vascular fraction” (SVF) products from patient adipose (fat) tissue, which the companies then market as stem cell-based treatments, and which U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC administers to patients, without first obtaining what the government alleges are necessary FDA approvals. Although Theodore Gradel was initially listed as a defendant, he subsequently entered into a consent agreement and is no longer party to this case.
The U.S. and the defendants filed cross motions for summary judgment, each asking for a ruling in its favor. On June 3, 2019, the Court entered an order granting Summary Judgment for the government and denying the defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The order focused on the defendants’ actions in providing and marketing SVF therapy. In an order dated June 4, 2019, the Court granted the defendants’ request to allow it the opportunity to work out the language of the form of injunction with the government, and if unsuccessful, to provide a status report to the Court by June 14, 2019, outlining areas of disagreement. The Court further ordered that the defendants (U.S. Stem Clinic, LLC, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., and Kristin C. Comella) ‘not sell, provide or otherwise engage in any SVF therapy or any other activities to be regulated by the FDA as explained in the Court’s Order on the Parties’ Motions for Summary Judgment.” On June 25, 2019, the Court entered an Order of Permanent Injunction, generally enjoining the defendants with respect to the SVF Product and requiring other actions. The Company filed an appeal on August 23, 2019 and attended oral argument on January 13, 2021. On June 2, 2021, the Eleventh Circuit Court ruled to affirm lower courts’ judgement. The Company is not able to predict the duration, scope, results, or consequences of the U.S. Department of Justice actions and final rulings and management is assessing its options on a going forward basis. The Company, in having divested certain equipment and other assets and assigning its lease, has and will continue to experience a decrease in revenues as the Company both maintains the remainder of the business and transitions into similar or unrelated business opportunities as determined by management. However, management is not able to predict the duration, scope, results, or consequences of the summary judgment and any transition of the business plan.
After the Court’s issuance of the Order of Permanent Injunction, the Company has received demand letters for compensation from persons who store their SVF Product and/or other tissue product with the tissue bank (several of the persons have requested refunds of the monies paid to the tissue bank and one person has requested a full refund of monies paid to an altogether separate company due to her not receiving the full amount of treatments she requested; such requests for compensation, to date, have not been material) and requests that the Company preserve cells in the Company’s possession. The Company sought guidance from the Court, which entered an order generally staying the requirement to destroy any SVF Product, pending a decision on the Company’s appeal. However, that appeal has now been concluded and the stay order is no longer in place.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,121,154 shares of its common stock, having a fair value of $9,866, in lieu of accrued interest of $9,144. In connection with the issuances, the Company incurred a $722 net loss on settlement.
On February 24, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, having a fair value of $140,000, for services to be rendered, which are being amortized to expense over the term of the agreement of 180 days.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into addendums with certain holders owning an aggregate of $214,000 of the convertible notes whereby the conversion price was changed from $0.0266 to $0.008, the maturity date was extended for two years and an aggregate of 53,400,000 commons shares and five-year warrants to purchase 12,500,000 common shares at $0.008 per share were issued, having an aggregate fair value of $491,607. As a result of the changes in the conversion price and the interest rate, the addendums resulted in an extinguishment of $294,000 of the old debt in exchange for new debt with the same face value, having aggregate debt discount of $44,113, and different terms. Accordingly, a loss on debt extinguishment of $447,494 was recognized in the accompanying statements of operations.

The value ascribed to the common shares was $18,563, which was recognized as debt discount with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.
On March 23, 2022, a convertible note with a face value of $25,000, having a net book value of $25,000 at the date of conversion, was converted into 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As the conversion was at a fixed conversion price, no gain or loss was recognized on conversion (See Note 8).
On September 10, 2021, the Company filing of an Offering Circular on Form 1-A, pursuant to Regulation A (File Number: 024-11617) was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company registered 250,000,000 shares of common stock for maximum proceeds of $2,500,000 (before deducting the maximum broker discount and costs of the offering). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,625,000 shares of common stock to investors for cash proceeds of $35,000, net of fees and commission, pursuant to the Offering Circular.

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 stockholders, the 2013 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan was approved.

Our comprehensive map of products and services:
As of June 30, 2022 and as of the date of this filing:
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. Accordingly, we have developed a multifaceted portfolio of revenue generating products and services in our US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, 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. 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 and Vetbiologics. 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. To date, the first clinic in Kuwait City has been completed but has not begun operations as High Rising Group has not yet been able to secure regulatory approvals to operate. With the ongoing construction of the The Sheikha Salwa Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Stem Cell and Umbilical Cord, a public/private partnership with the government of Kuwait, (see http://news.kuwaittimes.net/website/stem-cell-center-epitomizes-ppp which is expressly not incorporated by reference to this filing), management hopes (but cannot guarantee) that private sector stem cell centers, as described above, will get regulatory approval.
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 product candidates have not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and is not expected generate revenues until commercialization, 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. In addition, and as a result of the Court Order (see Note 11- Government Claim), we resolved to divest our company of certain equipment and other assets which will substantially reduce our ability to generate revenues until such time as alternative revenue producing materialize as well as assign our lease.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation reflects our recognition as an expense of the value of stock options and other equity instruments issued to our employees and non-employees over the vesting period of the options and other equity instruments. We have granted to our employee’s options to purchase shares of common stock at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock at the time of each grant, as determined by our Board of Directors, with input from management.
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. |
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. On November 2, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the increase of the reserve under the 2013 Omnibus Plan to five hundred million (500,000,000) shares of common stock for issuance, effective September 16, 2016, approved an addition of twenty five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock to the reserve, effective April 21, 2017, approved an addition of twenty five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock to the reserve, effective August 7, 2017, approved an addition of thirty million (30,000,000) shares of common stock to the reserve and effective May 7, 2018, approved an addition of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock to reserve.
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
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
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, laboratory services and cell banking.
Revenues for product and equipment sold are not recorded until product and equipment are received by the customer. Revenues from in-person trainings are recognized when the training occurs and revenues from on demand online trainings are recognized when the customer purchases the rights to the training course. Any cash received as a deposit for trainings are recorded by the Company as a liability.
Patient treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.
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.
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2022, two customers represented 90% and 4%, representing an aggregate of 94% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, one customer represented 98%, representing an aggregate of 98% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Recent Accounting Policies
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 our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred negative cash flow from operations of $197,115 and will continue to finance our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated from financing activities and revenues.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided in financing activities was an aggregate of $168,052 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to cash provided of $754,625 in the six-month period ended in June 30, 2021.
Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements and Plan of Operations
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 June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10,330. However, our working capital deficit as of such date was $13101,630.
Along with diversifying the portfolio of products distributed by our company, including equipment and biologics, it is the intention of our Company to both continue to adhere to the Court Order (see Note 11- Government Claim ) as well as re -establish its good standing with the Agency (FDA). These points are not mutually exclusive nor negotiable and we believe that there are still business and patient goodness opportunities while still abiding by all legal requirements As a result, management shall be continuing with the development of US Stem Cell Training, Inc., an operating division of our company, that is a content developer of regenerative medicine/cell therapy informational and training materials for physicians and patients and complies with both requirements--as well as Vetbiologics, an operating division of our company, that 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. In addition, our company is transitioning the current clinics to a more diversified regenerative medicine platform, while complying with recent court rulings. While not providing legal advice, our company may also engage in managing third-party clinics to ensure they too abide by recent regulatory requirements
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
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined In Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel,
Our management, in reviewing our internal controls and procedures, considered the tenants of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (establishing the framework for control environment, risk assessment, information and communication, monitoring activities, and existing control activities for internal control and procedures) such as the requirements 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 and includes those policies and procedures that; pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who also acts as our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the effectiveness our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO/ CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses:
|
1. |
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. |
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. The company expects to remedy this weakness upon company growth through increased personnel numbers.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by hiring a full-time CFO with SEC reporting experience in the future and expanding accounting staff when working capital permits and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm to refine our internal procedures. We currently address the limitations through a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Exchange Act. The members of our Audit Committee are Mr. Borman, who serves as Chairperson of the Audit Committee, Dr. Murphy, and Mr. Anderson. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Borman qualifies as a “financial expert” as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC implementing requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, since the rules for smaller reporting companies provide for this exemption.
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 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.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On September 17, 2015, a product liability lawsuit was filed in Broward County, specifically Patsy Bade v. Bioheart, Inc. US Stem Cell Clinics LLC, Alejandro Perez, ARNP, and Shareen Greenbaum, M.D., and on November 30, 2015, a product liability lawsuit was filed in Broward County, specifically Elizabeth Noble v. Bioheart, Inc. US Stem Cell Clinics LLC, Alejandro Perez, ARNP, and Shareen Greenbaum, M.D. During the year ended December 31, 2016, both matters settled by the Company’s insurance policy with no additional cost to the Company, excluding the Company payment of the $100,000 insurance company deductible of which $11,000 was paid in fiscal 2017. As a result of the final settlement and determination of insurance coverage, the Company recognized $100,000 of expense due to litigation for the year ended December 31, 2017. The remaining amount due under this settlement was $27,350 as of June 30, 2022.
On December 12, 2017, a product liability lawsuit was filed in Broward County, specifically Jeannine Mallard v. U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., US Stem Cell Clinics LLC., Regenestem, LLC., Regenestem Network, LLC., and Kristin C. Comella. The Company will continue to defend it vigorously. On December 6, 2019, the Company was one of the parties to a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) related to certain medical procedures. Without admitting any liability, and as part of that Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a five-year non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note, dated December 6, 2019, in the principal amount of $250,000, payable in monthly increments of $750 per month, with a final balloon payment of $205,000 due on January 1, 2025.
On June 3, 2019, the Company was one of the parties to a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) related to certain medical procedures. Without admitting any liability, and as part of that Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a five-year 5.25% Promissory Note, dated June 15, 2019, in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), payable in monthly increments of Five Thousand ($5,000) per month. The remaining amount due under this settlement was $428,281 as of June 30, 2022.
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 June 30, 2022 other than that described above.
Government Claim
On May 9, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an injunctive action, specifically United States of America v. U.S. Stem Clinic, LLC, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., Kristin C. Comella, and Theodore Gradel. The Complaint alleges, among other matters that the defendants manufacture “stromal vascular fraction” (SVF) products from patient adipose (fat) tissue, which the companies then market as stem cell-based treatments, and which U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC administers to patients, without first obtaining what the government alleges are necessary FDA approvals. Although Theodore Gradel was initially listed as a defendant, he subsequently entered into a consent agreement and is no longer party to this case.
The U.S. and the defendants filed cross motions for summary judgment, each asking for a ruling in its favor. On June 3, 2019, the Court entered an order granting Summary Judgment for the government and denying the defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The order focused on the defendants’ actions in providing and marketing SVF therapy. In an order dated June 4, 2019, the Court granted the defendants’ request to allow it the opportunity to work out the language of the form of injunction with the government, and if unsuccessful, to provide a status report to the Court by June 14, 2019, outlining areas of disagreement. The Court further ordered that the defendants (U.S. Stem Clinic, LLC, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., and Kristin C. Comella) “not sell, provide or otherwise engage in any SVF therapy or any other activities to be regulated by the FDA as explained in the Court’s Order on the Parties’ Motions for Summary Judgment.” On June 25, 2019, the Court entered an Order of Permanent Injunction, generally enjoining the defendants with respect to the SVF Product and requiring other actions. The Company filed an appeal on August 23, 2019 and attended oral argument on January 13, 2021. On June 2, 2021, the Eleventh Circuit Court ruled to affirm lower courts’ judgement. The Company did not challenge the district court’s judgment upon any other ground. The Company is not able to predict the duration, scope, results, or consequences of the U.S. Department of Justice actions and final rulings and management is assessing its options on a going forward basis.
The Company, in divesting certain equipment and other assets and assigning its lease, has and will continue to experience a decrease in revenues as the Company both maintains the remainder of the business and transitions into similar or unrelated business opportunities as determined by management . However, management is not able to predict the duration, scope, results, or consequences of the summary judgment and any transition of the business plan.
After the Court’s issuance of the Order of Permanent Injunction, the Company has received demand letters for compensation from persons who store their SVF Product and/or other tissue product with the tissue bank (several of the persons have requested refunds of the monies paid to the tissue bank and one person has requested a full refund of monies paid to an altogether separate company due to her not receiving the full amount of treatments she requested; such requests for compensation, to date, have not been material) and requests that the Company preserve cells in the Company’s possession. The Company sought guidance from the Court, which entered an order generally staying the requirement to destroy any SVF Product, pending a decision on the Company’s appeal. Many of the tissue bank depositors attempted to intervene in the FDA action, and filed an appeal when their intervention was denied. Their appeal was dismissed. It is anticipated that these depositors will present their position on tissue/SVF preservation to the trial court now that the appeal has been decided. As disclosed by the Company previously, the Company entered into a transaction in 2019 in which it divested itself of the operation of the tissue bank.
