We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and Controller, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and Controller, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outsourced accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which, we believe, will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On January 23, 2011, Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has entered into a subscription agreement with Anc Bio Holdings, Inc., a South Korean biomedical company, and a subscription agreement with one of its U.S. agents, Bioheart Florida, LLC for a $4 million equity investment, in the aggregate. Funding of the investment will be made ratably by them in installments with 10% immediately, followed by 40% within 45 days and the remaining 50% subject to certain conditions which the Company expects to satisfy in the next 90 days.
The aggregate number of shares of common stock anticipated to be issued in connection with the investment is 25,000,000 shares. The Company will also issue to the purchasers of common stock, warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the common stock issuance, the subscribers received “piggyback” registration rights exercisable under certain circumstances more particularly set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into with each investor.

(b) The Company will provide the Investors with an estimated use of proceeds prior to the first installment payment date and the Company will utilize not less than sixty percent (60%) of such proceeds for research and development costs and clinical trial costs;
