  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) is committed to developing and delivering cell technologies and intelligent devices that treat and monitor heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. Its goals are to restore heart function, improve a patient’s quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations. Specific to biotechnology, the Company is focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage. MyoCell® is an innovative clinical muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patient’s heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients. The Company’s pipeline includes multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose tissue-derived cell treatment for acute heart damage, and MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells that are genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic growth proteins. The Company was incorporated in Florida on August 12, 1999.

Development Stage

The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its effort to raising capital, research and development of products noted above, and developing markets for its products. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting principles prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Prior to marketing its products in the United States, the Company’s products must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter problems in clinical trials that will cause the Company or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials. The Company’s success will depend in part on its ability to successfully complete clinical trials, obtain necessary regulatory approvals, obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company. The Company will require substantial future capital in order to meet its objectives. The Company currently has no committed sources of capital. The Company will need to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, and financing may not be available when the Company needs it or may not be available on acceptable terms.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Bioheart, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates, assumptions and methods used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825, formerly SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company has used available information to derive its estimates. However, because these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize currently. The use of different assumptions or estimating methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt consisting of a note payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, based on the time to maturity, interest rate environment and borrowing rates available to the Company.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished product. Finished product consists primarily of finished catheters. Cost of finished product, consisting of raw materials and contract manufacturing costs, is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for valuing inventories. Costs of raw materials are determined using the FIFO method. Inventory is stated at the lower of costs or market (estimated net realizable value).

Inventory consisted of the following at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Total inventory
                 232,241          $ 395,034   
 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2008, mainly consisted of upfront payments under an agreement with the contract research organization that the Company was utilizing for its Marvel Clinical Trials, and payments on corporate insurance policies. At September 30, 2009, all the prepayments to the contract research organization were recovered, and prepaid expenses and other current assets mainly consist of prepayment on corporate insurance policies.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs consist principally of legal and loan origination fees incurred to obtain $10 million in loans in June 2007 and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans. These deferred loan costs are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. At September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had net deferred loan costs of $793,798 and $278,945, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded $597,781 and $1,016,373, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred loan costs, which included $448,888 and $664,734, respectively, related to the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the loans.

Stock Options and Warrants

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“ASC Topic 718, formerly ”SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to measure all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service period of each award.

Share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 are valued using the fair value method and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company also began recognizing compensation expense under ACS Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted under its stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to vest.

The Company accounts for certain share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including ASC Topic 505, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. The Company estimates the fair value of such

8



Bioheart, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage enterprise)
    
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting period and expenses the fair value over the vesting period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are provided.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, formerly SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The effect of outstanding stock options and warrants, which could result in the issuance of 8,547,508 and 4,805,187 shares of common stock at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is antidilutive. As a result, diluted loss per share data does not include the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and has been presented jointly with basic loss per share.

New Accounting Standards

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial positions, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”). The Codification is the single source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification has changed the manner in which US GAAP guidance is referenced only and as such adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but has changed the manner in which we reference US GAAP.

2.
  Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several years and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $102.5 million as of September 30, 2009. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceed current assets by $12.7 million. Current liabilities include notes payable of $4.4 million. As discussed in Note 6, the Company also has an obligation of $3 million to the Company’s former Chairman and spouse. The Company has obtained additional capital from the sale of unregistered securities to conduct its business and continue operations through 2009. See, Part II, Item 2, Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Due to the Company’s financial condition, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  Collaborative License and Research/Development Agreements

Bioheart, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage enterprise)
    
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

The Company has entered into a number of contractual relationships for technology licenses and research and development projects. The following provides a summary of the Company’s significant contractual relationships:

In February 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Original License Agreement”) with Cell Transplants International, LLC (“CTI”). Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted the Company a license to certain patents related to heart muscle regeneration and angiogenesis for the life of the patents. In July 2000, the Company and CTI, together with Dr. Peter K. Law, executed an addendum to the Original License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of terms of the Original License Agreement (the “License Addendum”).

More specifically, the License Addendum provided, among other things:

•  
  The parties agreed that the Company would issue, and the Company did issue, to CTI a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, issuing to CTI or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. These share amounts and exercise prices do not take into account any subsequent recapitalizations or reverse stock splits.

•  
  The parties agreed that the Company’s obligation to pay CTI a $3.0 million milestone payment would be triggered upon the Company’s commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States, instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original License Agreement, upon initiation of an FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology in the United States.

In addition, if the Company obtains FDA approval of a method of heart muscle regeneration utilizing the patented technology licensed under the Original License Agreement, the Company will be required to pay CTI $5 million. Further, the Company would be obligated to pay CTI a royalty of 5% of gross sales of products and services that directly read upon the claims of the licensed patents. During the course of certain litigation initiated by Dr. Law against the Company, see Note 9, the Company learned that CTI, a Tennessee limited liability company, was administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State of Tennessee in 2004.

In February 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation for various patents to be used in connection with the MyoCell SDF-1 product candidate. In exchange for the license, the Company 1) paid $250,000 upon the closing of the agreement; 2) paid $1,250,000 in 2006; 3) paid $150,000 in 2008; 4) will pay a maintenance fee of $150,000 per year for the duration of the license; 5) will be required to make various milestone payments; and 6) will pay a 5% royalty on the net sales of products and services that directly rely upon the claims of the patents for the first $300,000,000 of annual net sales and a 3% royalty for any annual net sales over $300,000,000. The royalty percentage shall be reduced by 0.5% for each 1.0% of license fees paid to any other entity. However, the royalty percentage shall not be reduced to less than 2.5%.

Bioheart has signed two amendments associated with the license agreement with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. The amended agreement states that if Bioheart does not complete each milestone activity by the expected completion date then the license will terminate. As part of the original license agreement, Bioheart gained access to multiple product lines. The amended agreement states that if these products are not included in a Bioheart sponsored clinical trial prior to December 31, 2010, Bioheart will lose the rights to those

10

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

products. On July 1st, 2009, the company received notification from the Cleveland Clinic that they are terminating the License Agreement due to failure to pay the annual maintenance fee on June 30, 2009. The termination does not release Bioheart from obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination or any other obligations it might have under that Agreement. The company also received a communication from Juventas Therapeutics (now acting on behalf of the Cleveland Clinic for this patent portfolio) that it would like to renegotiate the License Agreement with Bioheart and the two companies are now developing a Memorandum of Understanding to this end. The Company has developed proprietary techniques to utilize the art identified in the patents that are pending.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Tissue Genesis, Inc. (“Tissue Genesis”) for exclusive distribution rights to Tissue Genesis’ products and a license for various patents to be used in connection with the Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy and TGI 1200™ product candidates. In exchange for the license, the Company agreed to do the following: 1) issue 13,006 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $7.69 per share; and 2) issue a warrant exercisable for 1,544,450 shares of the Company’s common stock to Tissue Genesis at an exercise price of $7.69 per share, which warrant expires on December 31, 2026. This warrant shall vest in three parts as follows: i) 617,780 shares vesting only upon the Company’s successful completion of human safety testing of the licensed technology, ii) 463,335 shares vesting only upon the Company exceeding net sales of $10 million or net profit of $2 million from the licensed technology, and iii) 463,335 shares vesting only upon the Company exceeding net sales of $100 million or net profit of $20 million from the licensed technology. Since the vesting of this warrant is contingent upon the achievement of the specific milestones, the fair value of this warrant at the time the milestones are met will be expensed to research and development. In the event of an acquisition (or merger) of the Company with a third party, all unvested shares of common stock subject to the warrant shall immediately vest prior to such event. In addition, the Company will pay a 2% royalty of net sales of licensed products.

Bank of America Note Payable

On June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for an eight month, $5.0 million term loan, to be used for working capital purposes. The loan bears interest at the annual rate of the prime rate plus 1.5%. The prime rate was 3.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As consideration for the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $100,000. Effective as of January 31, 2008, the maturity date of the loan was extended until June 1, 2008. Effective as of June 1, 2008, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until January 5, 2009. Effective January 5, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan until July 6, 2009. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $50,000. Effective July 6, 2009, Bank of America agreed to extend the maturity of the loan until January 5, 2010. As consideration for this extension of the maturity date of the loan, the Company paid Bank of America a fee of $25,000. Under the terms of the loan, Bank of America is entitled to receive a semi-annual payment of interest and all outstanding principal and accrued interest by the maturity date.

The Company has provided no collateral for the loan. On June 1, 2007, for the Company’s benefit, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and his spouse, certain other members of the Company’s Board of Directors and one of the Company’s shareholders (the “Guarantors”) provided collateral to guarantee the loan. Except for a $1.1 million personal guaranty (backed by collateral) provided by the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse, these guarantees are limited to the collateral each provided to the lender.

The Company and Bank of America have agreed with BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P., the lender of the BlueCrest Loan (defined below), that the Company will not individually make any payments due under the Bank of America loan while the BlueCrest Loan is outstanding. For the Company’s benefit, the Guarantors agreed to provide Bank of America in the aggregate up to $5.5 million of funds and/or securities to make these payments.

The Company has agreed to reimburse the Guarantors with interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0% for any and all payments made by them under the Bank of America loan as well as to pay them certain cash fees in connection with their provision of collateral to guarantee the loan. Upon entering into the loan agreement, the Company issued to each Guarantor warrants to purchase 3,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share for each $100,000 of principal amount of the loan guaranteed by such Guarantor. The warrants have a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrants were issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 216,095 shares of common stock were issued to the

12



Bioheart, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage enterprise)
    
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

Guarantors. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of $1,437,638, which amount was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method. As discussed below, certain of these Guarantors were replaced in September 2007. The unamortized fair value of the warrants issued to the Guarantors that were replaced, which was previously reflected as a component of deferred loan costs, was recorded as interest expense in September 2007.

In September 2007, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and two of the Company’s shareholders agreed to provide collateral valued at $750,000, $600,000 and $500,000, respectively, to secure the loan. The collateral provided by these new Guarantors fully replaced the collateral originally provided by one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and partially replaced the collateral originally provided by another member of the Company’s Board of Directors whose collateral now secures $400,000 of the loan. In consideration for providing the collateral, the Company issued to the new Guarantors warrants to purchase 3,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share for each $100,000 of principal amount of the loan guaranteed by such new Guarantor. The warrants have a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrants were issued. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,118 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the new Guarantors. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of $380,482, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on September 30, 2007 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 38,861 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $244,463. The portion of this amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense with the remainder accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

In October 2007, the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse agreed to provide an additional $2.2 million limited personal guarantee of the loan and pledged securities accounts to backup this limited personal guarantee. The additional collateral provided by the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse fully replaced the collateral provided by one of the original Guarantors. Accordingly, the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse personally guaranteed an aggregate of $3.3 million of the loan. The Company’s agreement with the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse with respect to the additional collateral is substantially similar to the Company’s agreement with them in connection with the $1.1 million personal guarantee they originally provided in June 2007. In consideration for providing the collateral, the Company issued to the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse, a warrant to purchase 81,547 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant has a ten-year term and became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued. The warrant had a fair value of $516,193, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the loan using the effective interest method.

As a result of this replacement of the collateral originally provided by one of the original Guarantors in October 2007, the unamortized fair value of the warrant to purchase 81,548 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share issued to that Guarantor was recorded as interest expense in October 2007. In October 2007, the Company cancelled the warrant previously issued to such original Guarantor, which warrant included the adjustment provisions discussed above, and, in exchange, issued to them a warrant to purchase 101,934 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per

(Unaudited)

share, which new warrant does not contain the adjustment provisions discussed above. The additional 20,386 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $128,228, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense.

In accordance with the provisions of the warrants issued to the Guarantors, the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants increased on June 1, 2008 as the Bank of America loan remained outstanding at that date. The additional 78,773 warrant shares had an aggregate fair value of $168,387. The portion of this amount attributed to the Guarantors that were replaced in September 2007 was accounted for as additional paid in capital and immediately recorded as interest expense with the remainder accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. In the event that as of the second anniversary and third anniversary of the closing date of the loan, the Company has not reimbursed the Guarantors in full for payments made by them in connection with the loan, the number of shares subject to the warrants will further increase.

In March 2009, the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse repaid $3.0 million of principal and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. The Company now owes this $3.0 million to the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse. This liability is reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on a separate line titled “Due to related parties.” In accordance with the provisions discussed above, this amount will accrue interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0%.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $103,000 and $264,000, respectively. Fees and interest earned by the Guarantors, which are recorded as interest expense, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $379,000 and $81,000, respectively. Interest due on the principal amount of the loan has been paid by the Guarantors. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount of interest paid by the Guarantors on behalf of the Company totaled approximately $693,000 and $432,000, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses at those dates.

BlueCrest Capital Finance Note Payable

On June 1, 2007, the Company closed on a $5.0 million senior loan from BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. with a term of 36 months which bears interest at an annual rate of 12.85% (the “BlueCrest Loan”). The first three months required payment of interest only with equal principal and interest payments over the remaining 33 months. As consideration for the loan, the Company issued to BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. a warrant to purchase 65,030 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.69 per share. The warrant, which became exercisable one year following the date the warrant was issued, has a ten year term. This warrant had a fair value of $432,635, which was accounted for as additional paid in capital and reflected as a component of deferred loan costs and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Company also paid the lender a fee of $100,000 to cover diligence and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the loan. On August 31, 2007, BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. assigned its rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under the BlueCrest Loan and warrant to BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund Limited (“BlueCrest”).

The loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part. However, the Company is subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the second year of the loan and 1% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the third year of the loan. As collateral to secure its repayment obligations under the loan, the Company granted BlueCrest a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property but including the proceeds from any sale of any of the

14

(Unaudited)

Company’s intellectual property. The loan has certain restrictive terms and covenants including among others, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional senior or pari-passu indebtedness or make interest or principal payments on other subordinate loans.

In the event of an uncured event of default under the loan, all amounts owed to BlueCrest are immediately due and payable and BlueCrest has the right to enforce its security interest in the assets securing the loan. During the continuance of an event of default, all outstanding amounts under the loan will bear interest (payable on demand) at an annual rate of the 14.85%. In addition, any unpaid amounts are subject, until paid, to a service charge in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the unpaid amount. Events of default include, among others, the Company’s failure to make timely payments of principal when due, the Company’s uncured failure to pay timely any other amounts owing to BlueCrest under the loan, the Company’s material breach of the representations and warranties contained in the loan agreement and the Company’s default in the payment of any debt to any of its other lenders in excess of $100,000 or any other default or breach under any agreement relating to such debt, which gives the holders of such debt the right to accelerate the debt.

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the BlueCrest Loan for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $284,000 and $380,000, respectively.

On January 2, 2009, the Company failed to make the monthly payment of principal and interest of approximately $181,000 due on such date. On January 28, 2009, the Company received from BlueCrest notice of this event of default (the “Default Notice”) under the BlueCrest Loan. By reason of the stated event, BlueCrest demanded payment of a 2% late fee of approximately $3,600, together with the principal and interest payment of approximately $181,000. On February 2, 2009, the Company received from BlueCrest notice of acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of the BlueCrest Loan and demanded repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan, including late fees, in the aggregate amount of $2,947,045. (The acceleration notice, together with the Default Notice, are referred to as the “Notices”).

The Company and BlueCrest entered into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan as of April 2, 2009 (“ BlueCrest Loan Amendment”), that, among other things, includes BlueCrest’s agreement to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies regarding the defaults described in Notices (the “Forbearance”) as long as there are no new defaults under the BlueCrest Loan, as amended.

The BlueCrest Loan Amendment, (a) increases the amount of permitted unsecured indebtedness of the Company, (b) amended the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments until July 1, 2009, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $262,692 will commence, and (c) prohibits the Company from granting any lien against its intellectual property and grants to BlueCrest a lien against the Company’s intellectual property that will become effective in the event of a default. In addition, the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase 1,315,542 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.53 per share.

In connection with the BlueCrest Loan Amendment, the Company paid BlueCrest accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $126,077. The Company also paid BlueCrest a fee of $15,000.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company and BlueCrest agreed to enter into an amendment to the BlueCrest Loan to amend the amortization schedule for the Loan to provide for interest-only payments until January 1, 2010, at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $139,728 will commence.

In connection with the most recent BlueCrest Loan Amendment the Company issued BlueCrest a warrant to purchase 909,090 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.66 per share and paid a fee of $29,435..

Short-term Note Payable

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

The amount of interest expense on the principal amount of the loan for the period ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $102,000. The Company has not paid any of the interest accrued to date on the principal amount of the loan.

  Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to a clinical registry supply agreement entered into in August 2007 with BHK, Inc., the Company received an upfront payment of $103,000. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had not completed all of the cell-culturing services required by the agreement. Based on the amount of cell-culturing services completed as of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded $82,000 of the upfront payment as deferred revenue at December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $61,500 was recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2008 upon completion of additional cell-culturing services. In February 2005, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Bioheart Korea, Inc., BHK’s predecessor entity, pursuant to which the Company and BHK agreed to create a joint venture company now known as Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned an 18% equity interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. In February 2009, the Company’s ownership interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. was reduced from 18% to approximately 6% as a result of an investment in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. by a third party.

As discussed in Note 5, the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse had provided collateral to guarantee the Bank of America loan. In March 2009, these individuals repaid $3.0 million of principal and a pro rata portion of accrued interest on behalf of the Company. The Company now owes this $3.0 million to the Company’s former Chairman and his spouse. This liability is reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on a separate line titled “Subordinated related party loan.” This amount will also accrue interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 5.0%.

In April and May 2009, the Company sold to two members of the Board of Directors, in a private placement, an aggregate of 965,570 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 289,671 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $535,000.

A cousin of the Company’s former Chairman is an officer of the Company. The amounts paid to this individual as salary for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $78,500 and $65,000, respectively. In addition, the Company utilized a printing entity controlled by this individual and paid this entity $22,759 and $16,730 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

  Shareholders’ Equity

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

  Stock Options and Warrants

Stock Options

In July 2008, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, the establishment of the Bioheart Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The establishment of the Omnibus Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 30, 2008. Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, stock awards, performance shares, and other stock-based awards consisting of cash, restricted stock or unrestricted stock in various combinations to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. 5,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2009, no securities had been issued under the Omnibus Plan.

In December 1999, the Company adopted two stock option plans; an employee stock option plan and a directors and consultants stock option plan (collectively referred to as the “Stock Option Plans”), under which a total of 1,235,559 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted by the Company. In 2001, the Company amended the Stock Option Plans to increase the total shares of common stock reserved for issuance to 1,698,894. In 2003, the Company approved an increase of 308,890 shares, making the total 2,007,784 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. In 2006, the Company approved an increase of 1,081,114 shares, making the total 3,088,898 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plans. The Stock Option Plans provide for the granting of incentive and non-qualified options. The terms of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plans are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant, including the exercise price, vesting provisions and contractual term of such options. The exercise price of incentive stock options must equal at least the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options may be no less

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

(1)  The aggregate intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of options at September 30, 2009. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.66 and $2.38 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was $5,891. There were 78,125 options exercised in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

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

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

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions.

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

Stock Warrants

The Company does not have a formal plan in place for the issuance of stock warrants. However, at times, the Company will issue warrants to non-employees or in connection with financing transactions. The exercise price, vesting period, and term of these warrants is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of issuance.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 77,000 shares of its common stock to the representative of the several underwriters of the Company’s IPO, as discussed in Note 1.

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

  Legal Proceedings

On March 13, 2009, Judge Bernice Bouie Donald of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in litigation brought against Bioheart by Dr. Peter K. Law and Cell Transplants Asia Limited (“CTAL”) (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), captioned Peter K. Law, et al. v. Bioheart, Inc., No. 2:07-cv-2177 (the “Action”). The Action, which has been the subject of previous disclosures by the Company, was commenced on March 9, 2007, and asserted claims against the Company and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, with respect to a license agreement entered into between Bioheart, Inc. and Cell Transplants International, LLC (“CTI”) on February 7, 2000 (the “Original License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted the Company a license to certain patents “related to heart muscle regeneration and angiogenesis for the life of the patents.” In July 2000, Bioheart and CTI, together with Dr. Law, executed an addendum to the Original License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of the terms of the Original License Agreement (the “License Addendum”).

In their amended complaint, Dr. Law and CTAL asserted 14 breach of contract and related claims pertaining to the Original License Agreement and License Addendum, including, among others, claims that the Company had breached obligations to provide shares of Bioheart common stock to Dr. Law, pay royalties on “gross sales” of MyoCell, pay a $3 million milestone payment due upon Bioheart’s “commencement of a bona fide Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States,” and to refrain from sublicensing Plaintiffs’ patents. Plaintiffs also sought a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum was unenforceable due to a lack of consideration and/or economic duress. At the outset of the Action, the individual claim against Mr. Leonhardt was dismissed along with Plaintiffs’ claim for civil conspiracy, leaving 12 claims to be adjudicated.

The Company denied the material allegations of the amended complaint, denied it had any liability to Plaintiffs, and asserted a number of defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims, as well as counterclaims seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a legally valid and binding agreement and asserting that Dr. Law and/or CTI had breached various obligations in the parties’ agreements.

Following the completion of discovery, the Action was tried to the Court, without a jury, from September 22-25, 2008.

On March 13, 2009, the Court rendered its decision in the Action, dismissing the amended complaint after finding that Plaintiffs had failed to establish any of their 12 remaining claims. With respect to Plaintiffs’ claim for the $3 million milestone payment, the Court found that the payment was “payable only to CTI,” not the Plaintiffs, and that CTI, a dissolved Tennessee limited liability company, had never been made a party to the Action and therefore was “not properly before the Court.” The Court also found that, even assuming Plaintiffs could assert a claim for the milestone payment on behalf of CTI, the payment was not due because ”Bioheart’s MyoCell process does not utilize technology claimed under the “141 patent.” In addition, the Court found that Bioheart owed no royalties because it has not yet made any “gross sales” of MyoCell.

The Court found in Bioheart’s favor on its counterclaim seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a valid and enforceable agreement and its counterclaim that Dr. Law breached his obligation under the License Addendum to provide Bioheart with “all pertinent and critical information” related to our filing of an IND application with the FDA. The Court awarded Bioheart nominal damages of $1.00 on the latter

22

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Unaudited)

counterclaim, and dismissed Bioheart’s other counterclaims. Judgment upon the Memorandum Opinion and Order was entered on March 18, 2009.

Subsequent to the Court rendering its decision in the Action, the Plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court seeking reconsideration of its decision. The Company’s response was filed on April 20, 2009, and the Court’s response was received on October 15, 2009. The Plaintiffs’ motion to alter or amend was granted in part to clarify that Plaintiff failed to prove that the MyoCath catheter reads upon the claims of a patent other than the Schmidt catheter patent. Plaintiffs’ motion was otherwise denied. The parties have until November 16, 2009 to file a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

There is a risk that the Court may find in favor of the Plaintiffs upon appeal. The Company’s current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan and have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.

Due to the uncertainty related to these proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be determined.

As previously disclosed, on October 24, 2007, the Company completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in its MARVEL Trial. As a result of the claim set forth in the litigation discussed above, the Company recorded an accrual for $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

10.
  Contingency

The Company believes that it may have issued options to purchase common stock to certain of its employees, directors and consultants in California in violation of the registration or qualification provisions of applicable California securities laws. As a result, the Company intends to make a rescission offer to these persons. The Company will make this offer to all persons who have a continuing right to rescission, which it believes to include two persons. In the rescission offer, in accordance with California law, the Company will offer to repurchase all unexercised options issued to these persons at 77% of the option exercise price multiplied by the number of option shares, plus interest at the rate of 7% from the date the options were granted. Based upon the number of options that were subject to rescission as of September 30, 2009, assuming that all such options are tendered in the rescission offer, the Company estimated that its total rescission liability would be up to approximately $377,000 However, as the Company believes there is only a remote likelihood the rescission offer will be accepted by any of these persons in an amount that would result in a material expenditure by the Company, no liability was recorded as of September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

11.
  Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued common stock in connection with the settlement of accounts payable with an aggregate value of $164,761. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued a note payable in connection with the settlement of accounts payable with an aggregate value of $384,972.

  Subsequent Events

Private Placement — Common Stock and Warrants

Commencing on October 1, 2008, the Company conducted a PIPE financing of 7,500,000 shares and 2,250,000 warrants that has been placed in 28 tranches. As of September 30, 2009, of that amount, 3,985,010 shares and 1,195,503 warrants remained as of September 30, 2009. Gross proceeds were $3,581,912.

In October 2009, the Company sold, through the PIPE above, an aggregate of 224,770 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 67,431 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $305,120. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $1.24 to $1.97 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.

The PIPE was closed on October 31, 2009, with total capital raised of $3,887,032. The Company is actively planning another private capital raise, but no terms have been agreed and no placements have yet occurred.

Distribution Agreements

Effective as of October 22, 2009, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Morey Medical Inc. pursuant to which Morey was granted exclusive rights to market and promote the Bioheart 3370-1 Heart Failure Monitor throughout a specific territory.

Our Ability To Continue as a Going Concern

Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated April 7, 2009 in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008, that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009, have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of our common stock will lose all of their investment. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview

We are committed to developing and delivering treatments for congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases using cell technologies that regenerate damaged tissue and intelligent devices that help monitor, diagnose and treat heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. Our goals are to improve a patient’s quality of life and reduce health care costs and hospitalizations.

Biotechnology Product Candidates

Specific to biotechnology, we are focused on the discovery, development and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage. Our MyoCell product candidate is an innovative clinical muscle-derived cell therapy designed to populate regions of scar tissue within a patient’s heart with new living cells for the purpose of improving cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients. Our most recent clinical trials of MyoCell include the SEISMIC Trial, a completed 40-patient, randomized, multicenter, controlled, Phase II-a study conducted in Europe and the MYOHEART Trial, a completed 20-patient, multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation trial conducted in the United States. We were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to proceed with a 330-patient, multicenter Phase II/III trial of MyoCell in North America and Europe (the “MARVEL Trial”). We completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in the MARVEL Trial on October 24, 2007. If the results of the MARVEL Trial demonstrate statistically significant evidence of the safety and efficacy of MyoCell, we anticipate having a basis to ask the FDA to consider the MARVEL Trial a pivotal trial. The SEISMIC, MYOHEART and MARVEL Trials have been designed to test the safety and efficacy of MyoCell in treating patients with severe, chronic damage to the heart. Upon regulatory approval of MyoCell, we intend to generate revenue from the sale of MyoCell cell-culturing services for treatment of patients by interventional cardiologists.

We are currently in the process of evaluating our development timeline for MyoCell and the MARVEL Trial. To date, approximately 50 patients have been enrolled in the MARVEL Trial. We have filed with the FDA an amendment to the clinical protocol for the MARVEL Trial to, among other things, seek to use, as part of the patient protocol, mobile cardiac telemetry monitor recorders. In addition we have split the trial into two parts. Part I includes the first 20 patients who were treated and already completed their six month follow-up visit. Part II will enroll approximately 150 patients. Data analysis is complete for Part I patients and the final data has been released. Provided that the protocol amendment is approved and we are able to secure $5.0 million of additional capital we intend to move forward with Marvel Part II in 2010. If we meet that timeline, we would expect interim trial data for these 150 patients to be available in 2011. While we are attempting to

27



secure additional capital we have suspended enrollment in the MARVEL Trial. As part of this evaluation process, we expect to analyze whether to focus resources towards the development, commercialization and/or distribution of certain of our other product candidates, including, but not limited to MyoCell® SDF-1, a therapy utilizing autologous cells genetically modified to express additional potentially therapeutic growth proteins and certain intelligent devices. In the event we suspend enrollment in the MARVEL Part II Trial, we anticipate that we would continue to use our resources, to the extent available, to collect follow-up data on the patients treated to date in the MARVEL Part I Trial.

There are currently 11 executed clinical site contracts and one open Academic Research Organization contract (ARO) associated with the ongoing Marvel Clinical Trial. Clinical site contracts include Minneapolis Heart Institute, Scripps Hospital, Florida Hospital, Jim Moran Heart Institute, Mayo Clinic, The Lindner Center, Swedish Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel, Arizona Heart Institute, Cardiology P. C. and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. Bioheart is obligated for payments in the aggregate amount of $375,772.72 for clinical site contracts. Bioheart also entered into a contract in support of the Marvel trial with Duke Clinical Research Institute, an Academic Research Organization (ARO) on March 9, 2007. The total obligation for this contract is $469,843.99. In addition, there are various consultants and core laboratories which provide support for Marvel. Bioheart’s total commitment towards contracts for all consultants and Core Laboratories is $301,650.99.

A Phase I dose escalation trial of Bioheart’s MyoCell SDF-1 has recently been approved by the US FDA. We intend to begin this trial in 2010.

In our pipeline, we have multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including Bioheart Acute Cell Therapy, an autologous, adipose cell treatment for acute heart damage designed to be used in connection with the TGI 1200™ tissue processing system, and MyoCell® SDF-1. Tissue Genesis, Inc., the entity from whom we have obtained the worldwide right to sell or lease the TGI 1200™ announced on November 13, 2008 that the TGI 1200™ had been certified with a CE Marking, thus making the system available throughout the European marketplace. The TGI 1200 is actively being marketed outside the US in countries recognizing the CE mark. We have begun our first in man studies of adipose derived stem cells in patients with chronic heart ischemia in Venezuela in September 2009. We understand that Tissue Genesis is in the process of evaluating the regulatory pathway in the United States that should be pursued for the TGI 1200™ device. We hope to demonstrate that our various product candidates are safe and effective complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.

Research Agreements

On April 13, 2007 Bioheart signed a Research Agreement with Indiana University to sponsor pre-IND large animal research related to the use of adipose tissue derived stem cells for use in treating acute myocardial infarction. The data from research will be used to file an IND related to this product platform. The total budget for this study is $726,584.06.

Bioheart originally entered into a Research Agreement with the University of Florida on July 1, 2004. The original purpose of this Research Agreement was to conduct small animal research related to Bioheart’s SDF-1 gene modified cell therapy. The research continued into large animals and the contract has been amended six times. The most recent budget amendment was to sponsor an additional $305,855.00 for large animal research which was signed on November 18, 2008.

Distribution Agreements

We are currently in the process of negotiating and entering into distribution agreements with various companies pursuant to which the distributor will be granted exclusive rights to market and promote the

28



Bioheart 3370-1 Heart Failure Monitor throughout a specific territory. In consideration for identifying purchasers whom purchase or rent the Bioheart 3370-1 Heart Failure Monitor from the Company the Company will pay to the distributor a set fee. The distributor will be required to meet certain quarterly minimum purchase commitments under the agreement. It is expected that the agreement will have an initial term of one year and will be subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates intent to terminate the agreement no less than 60 days prior to the end of the then current term.

Effective as of October 30, 2008, we entered into a distribution agreement with Monebo Technologies, Inc. (“Monebo”) pursuant to which we were granted non-exclusive rights to distribute Monebo’s CardioBelt™ system throughout North America and Western Europe. This system provides ECG monitoring to heart patients from the comfort of their own home. We are required to meet certain annual minimum purchase commitments under the distribution agreement. The agreement has an initial term of two years and is subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates an intent to terminate the agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The distribution agreement may be terminated by either party upon 180 days notice for any reason or by either party immediately upon the other party’s uncured default. In addition, Monebo may terminate the agreement in the event we do not satisfy our annual minimum purchase commitment. We intend to commence distribution of the CardioBelt™ system during 2010.

In connection with the distribution agreement, we also entered into a Master Software License Agreement with Monebo pursuant to which Monebo granted us a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to certain software and algorithms to be used in connection with the CardioBelt™ system. We paid Monebo an upfront cash fee for this license and will be required to pay certain additional fees upon installation. We will also be required to pay to Monebo royalty fees per patient and software maintenance fees.

Effective as of April 3, 2008, we entered into a distribution agreement with RTX Healthcare A/S (Denmark) (“RTX”) pursuant to which we secured worldwide, non-exclusive distribution rights to the Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor, an interactive and simple-to-use at-home intelligent device designed specifically to improve available healthcare to patients outside hospitals who are suffering from heart failure. The device, manufactured by RTX, has 510(k) market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for marketing in the United States and CE mark approval for marketing in Europe and other countries that follow this mark. The compact Bioheart 3370 Heart Failure Monitor engages patients through personalized daily interactions and questions, while collecting vital signs and transmitting the information directly into a database. The data are regularly monitored by a remotely located medical professional, who watches for any abnormal readings that may signal a change in the patient’s health status. These changes are reported back to the treating physician. We do not have any minimum purchase commitment under the agreement. However, the per unit purchase price payable by us is inversely related to the number of units we purchase per annum. The distribution agreement has an initial term of two years and is subject to automatic renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party indicates an intent to terminate the agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The distribution agreement may be terminated by either party upon the other party’s default.

Operations

We conduct operations in one business segment. We may organize our business into more discrete business units when and if we generate significant revenue from the sale of our product candidates. Substantially all of our revenue since inception has been generated in the United States, and the majority of our long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles

29



generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following policies are important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:

Share-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R requires us to measure all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006, including those with employees, at fair value. Under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of stock options and other share-based compensation must be recognized as expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service period of each award.

The fair value of share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Beginning January 1, 2006, we also began recognizing compensation expense under ASC Topic 718, formerly SFAS No. 123R for the unvested portions of outstanding share-based awards previously granted under our stock option plans, over the periods these awards continue to vest. Our future share-based compensation expense will depend on the number of equity instruments granted and the estimated value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

We account for certain share-based awards, including warrants, with non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. formerly SFAS No. 123R and related guidance, including ASC Topic 505, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. We estimate the fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model at each reporting period and expense the fair value over the vesting period of the share-based award, which is generally the period in which services are provided.

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

Revenue Recognition

Since inception, we have not generated any material revenues from our lead product candidate. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, our revenue policy is to recognize revenues from product sales and service transactions generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determined, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of product or service has occurred.

We initially recorded payments received by us pursuant to our agreements with Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (“ACS”), originally a subsidiary of Guidant Corporation and now d/b/a Abbott Vascular, a division of Abbott Laboratories, as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on a pro rata basis as the catheters are delivered pursuant to those agreements.

We initially recorded payments received by us pursuant to a clinical supply agreement entered into in August 2007 with BHK, Inc. (“BHK”) as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized on a pro rata basis as the cell-culturing services are provided and are shown in development revenues. The costs associated with earning these revenues are expensed as incurred and are included in research and development expenses in our statements of operations. In February 2005, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Bioheart Korea, Inc., BHK’s predecessor entity, pursuant to which we and BHK agreed to create a joint venture company now known as Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned an 18% equity interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. In February 2009, the Company’s ownership interest in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. was reduced from 18% to approximately 6% as a result of an investment in Bioheart Manufacturing, Inc. by a third party.

Research and Development Activities

Research and development expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners, are charged to expense as incurred. We expense amounts paid to obtain patents or acquire licenses as the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid is uncertain.

Results of Operations

We are a development stage company and our MyoCell product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and is not expected to until 2010, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue clinical trials, undertake new clinical trials, apply for regulatory approvals, make capital expenditures, add information systems and personnel, make payments pursuant to our license agreements upon our achievement of certain milestones, continue development of additional product candidates using our technology, establish sales and marketing capabilities and incur the additional cost of operating as a public company.

Revenues

We recognized revenues of $224,135 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to revenues of $49,771 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 all revenue generated was mainly from the shipment of MyoCath catheters.

Development Revenues

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, we recognized $97,000 in development revenues from cell-culturing services provided pursuant to the clinical supply agreement entered with BHK, Inc. No such revenues were recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

31



Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $123,714 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $10,962 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2008. The manufacturing cost per catheter sold in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately the same. However, a portion of the catheters sold in 2008 had no inventory cost as they had been written off in prior years.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $2,265,671 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $4,994,552 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $2,728,881. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the amount of sponsored research and a reduction in costs related to our SEISMIC, MYOHEART and MARVEL Trials.

The timing and amount of our planned research and development expenditures is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing.

During the quarter, the Company received notification that approximately $630,000 in pending projects (Indiana University, University of Florida, Northwestern University, and other sites) were completed; however, the invoicing has not been received as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Company has accrued approximately $630,000 for the completed contracts, which resulted in a charge to earnings during the quarter.

Marketing, General and Administrative

Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1,666,477 for the nine-month period ended in September 30, 2009, compared to $4,684,063 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3,017,586. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses is attributable, to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, salaries & wages, legal fees and accounting fees.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was $18 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 compared to interest income of $44,397 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower cash balances in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on the principal amount of the BlueCrest and the Bank of America Loans, accrued fees and interest earned by the guarantors of the Bank of America Loan, the amortization of related deferred loan costs and the amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America Loans. The fair value of the warrants originally issued in connection with the Bank of America Loan was amortized by the end of January 2008. Our debt carries interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 13.50% as of September 30, 2009.

Interest expense was $1,764,604 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,922,766 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. Interest incurred on the principal amount of our outstanding loans and interest and fees earned by the guarantors totaled $889,604 and $896,000 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of deferred loan costs and amortization of the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the BlueCrest and Bank of America Loans totaled $598,000 and $1,016,000 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 also includes $270,000 of interest expense related to the discount associated with the convertible debt issued and converted during the period. The nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 also include $7,000 and $10,766, respectively, for interest related to insurance financing and credit card interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In 2009, we continue to finance our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated from financing activities.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,543,189 in the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $9.0 million used in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $5.7 million. However, our net loss was significantly offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $648,589, an increase in accounts payable of $696,601 and an increases in accrued expenses of $1,497,152. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due to the refund of upfront payments under an agreement with the contract research organization that we are utilizing for the MARVEL Trial. Accounts payable increased as we have sought to conserve cash until significant additional financing is obtained.

Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $11.6 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.1 million. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due to upfront payments under an agreement with the contract research organization that we are utilizing for the MARVEL Trial. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were amortization of the fair value of warrants granted in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $664,734, an increase in accrued expenses and deferred rent of $803,130, an increase in accounts payable of $270,320, stock-based compensation of $1,199,029 and amortization of loan costs incurred in connection with the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan of $352,000.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. Net cash used in investing activities was $18,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. All of the cash utilized in investing activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was related to the acquisition of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,517,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $5,012,000, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we received net proceeds of $298,001 in connection with the issuance of convertible debt and shares of common stock.

On February 22, 2008 we completed our IPO of common stock pursuant to which we sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $5.25 for net proceeds of $1.45 million. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months period ended September 30, 2008 reflects our receipt of approximately $5.4 million of “Proceeds from initial public offering of common stock, net.” The $5.4 million cash proceeds figure is approximately $3.95 million higher than the $1.45 million IPO net proceeds figure identified above due to our payment of $3.95 million of various offering expenses.

33



Existing Capital Resources and Future Capital Requirements

Our MyoCell product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues. We do not expect to generate any material revenues or cash from sales of our MyoCell product candidate until 2010, if ever. We have generated substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate incurring significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Historically, we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our incurrence of debt to provide the funds necessary to conduct our research and development activities and to meet our other cash needs.

At September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $87,518; however, our working capital deficit as of such date was $12.7 million. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated April 7, 2009 in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our consolidated interim financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.    
  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk exposure with respect to interest rates is changes in short-term interest rates in the U.S., particularly because certain of our debt arrangements represent floating rate debt and we are subject to interest rate risk. We do not use any interest rate risk management contracts to manage our fixed-to-floating ratio. The impact on our results of operations from a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not be significant.

The majority of our investments are expected to be in short-term debt securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive without significantly increasing risk. To reduce risk, we maintain our cash and cash equivalents in short-term interest-bearing instruments, including certificates of deposit and overnight funds. We do not have any derivative financial investments in our investment portfolio.

Item 4.    
  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officer who certifies our financial reports, as well as to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as well as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer, as well as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The controls that management sought to identify and evaluate were those processes designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and implemented by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles..

Our controls and procedures were designed at the reasonable assurance level. However, because of inherent limitations, any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired objectives of the control system. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management must apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Further, no evaluation of controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all errors, control issues and instances of fraud will be prevented or detected. The design of any system of controls and procedures is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial

35



reporting. We are continuing to evaluate internal controls over financial reporting and have improved our system for recording certain contractual obligations.

36



PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

On March 13, 2009, Judge Bernice Bouie Donald of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in litigation brought against us by Dr. Peter K. Law and Cell Transplants Asia Limited (“CTAL”) (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), captioned Peter K. Law, et al. v. Bioheart, Inc., No. 2:07-cv-2177 (the “Action”). The Action, which has been the subject of previous disclosures by us, was commenced on March 9, 2007, and asserted claims against us and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, with respect to a license agreement entered into between Bioheart, Inc. and Cell Transplants International, LLC (“CTI”) on February 7, 2000 (the “Original License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, among other things, CTI granted us a license to certain patents “related to heart muscle regeneration and angiogenesis for the life of the patents.” In July 2000, we and CTI, together with Dr. Law, executed an addendum to the Original License Agreement, which amended or superseded a number of the terms of the Original License Agreement (the “License Addendum”).

In their amended complaint, Dr. Law and CTAL asserted 14 breach of contract and related claims pertaining to the Original License Agreement and License Addendum, including, among others, claims that we had breached obligations to provide shares of Bioheart common stock to Dr. Law, pay royalties on “gross sales” of MyoCell, pay a $3 million milestone payment due upon our “commencement of a bona fide Phase II human clinical trial study that utilizes technology claimed under U.S. Patent No. 5,130,141 with FDA approval in the United States,” and to refrain from sublicensing Plaintiffs’ patents. Plaintiffs also sought a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum was unenforceable due to a lack of consideration and/or economic duress. At the outset of the Action, the individual claim against Mr. Leonhardt was dismissed along with Plaintiffs’ claim for civil conspiracy, leaving 12 claims to be adjudicated.

We denied the material allegations of the amended complaint, denied we had any liability to Plaintiffs, and asserted a number of defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims, as well as counterclaims seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a legally valid and binding agreement and asserting that Dr. Law and/or CTI had breached various obligations in the parties’ agreements.

Following the completion of discovery, the Action was tried to the Court, without a jury, from September 22-25, 2008.

On March 13, 2009, the Court rendered its decision in the Action, dismissing the amended complaint after finding that Plaintiffs had failed to establish any of their 12 remaining claims. With respect to Plaintiffs’ claim for the $3 million milestone payment, the Court found that the payment was “payable only to CTI,” not the Plaintiffs, and that CTI, a dissolved Tennessee limited liability company, had never been made a party to the Action and therefore was “not properly before the Court.” The Court also found that, even assuming Plaintiffs could assert a claim for the milestone payment on behalf of CTI, the payment was not due because “Bioheart’s MyoCell process does not utilize technology claimed under the ‘141 patent.” In addition, the Court found that we owed no royalties because we have not yet made any “gross sales” of MyoCell.

The Court found in our favor on our counterclaim seeking a declaration that the License Addendum was a valid and enforceable agreement and our counterclaim that Dr. Law breached his obligation under the License Addendum to provide Bioheart with “all pertinent and critical information” related to our filing of an IND application with the FDA. The Court awarded us nominal damages of $1.00 on the latter counterclaim, and dismissed our other counterclaims. Judgment upon the Memorandum Opinion and Order was entered on March 18, 2009.

37



Subsequent to the Court rendering its decision in the Action, the Plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court seeking reconsideration of its decision. Our response was filed on April 20, 2009, and the Court’s decision was received on October 15, 2009. The Plaintiffs’ motion to alter or amend was granted in part to clarify that Plaintiffs failed to prove that the MyoCath catheter reads upon the claims of a patent other than the Schmidt catheter patent. Plaintiffs’ motion was otherwise denied. The parties will have until November 16, 2009 to file a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

There is a risk that the Court may find in favor of the Plaintiffs upon appeal. Our current cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy a significant money judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. The entry of such a judgment would also likely constitute a default under the BlueCrest Loan and Bank of America Loan and have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and MyoCell commercialization efforts.

Due to the uncertainty related to these proceedings, any potential loss cannot presently be determined.

As previously disclosed, on October 24, 2007, we completed the MyoCell implantation procedure on the first patient in our MARVEL Trial. As a result of the claim set forth in the litigation discussed above, we recorded an accrual for $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Except as described above, we are not presently engaged in any material litigation and are unaware of any threatened material litigation. However, the biotechnology and medical device industries have been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. In addition, from time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of our business.

38



Item 1A.    Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Private Placement — Convertible Debt

In July 2009, Bruce Meyers and Dana Smith (jointly, the “Lenders”) funded a total $120,000 loan to the Company. The Loan was in the nature of convertible debt and was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”), that was convertible into common stock of the Company at a price that was 22.5% less than the average of the closing bid prices for the Company’s shares for the five (5) days prior to the Lenders’ election to exercise their conversion right under the Note. The Note was to bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with interest payable due at maturity. The terms sheet provides that all unpaid interest (and principal) will be due and payable on the date that is the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the closing date of the Loan or the closing of a financing in an amount that is equal to or greater than $3.0 million that will satisfy the Company’s obligation under its loan with BlueCrest. However, the Lenders already elected to convert the entire amount of the Loan to shares of the Company’s common stock.

Accordingly, the aggregate number of unregistered and restricted shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with, and as a result of the conversion of, the Loan were 355,294 shares. The Company will have no obligation to file any registration statement with respect to the shares, except that the Lenders will have customary “piggyback” registration rights.

Private Placement — Common Stock and Warrants

In July 2009, the Company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of 140,850 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 42,255 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $100,000. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.

In August 2009, the Company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of 618,850 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 185,655 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $351,000. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $0.64 to $0.74 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.

In September 2009, the Company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of 451,410 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 135,423 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $375,082. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $0.73 to $1.97 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.

In October 2009, the Company sold, through the private placement, an aggregate of 224,770 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 67,431 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $305,120. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise price of $1.24 to $1.97 per share, (ii) non-transferable for six months following issuance and (iii) exercisable, in

39



whole or in part, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is six months and one day following the date of issuance and ending on the third year anniversary of the date of issuance.

The PIPE was closed on October 31, 2009, with total capital raised of $3,887,032.

Item 5.    Other Information

On August 12, 2009, the Board of Directors decided that several of its Directors join the Company’s executive management team. In addition to assuming the position of Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Karl E. Groth, Ph.D., became the Chief Executive Officer; Peggy A. Farley became Chief Operating Officer; and Mark P. Borman became Chief Financial Officer.
