|
|
|
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements follows: |
|
|
|
General |
|
|
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Bioheart, Inc., (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. |
|
|
|
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

Basis and business presentation |
|
|
|
Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in August, 1999. The Company is in the development stage, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10, Development Stage Entities (“ASC 915-10”) and is the cardiovascular sector of the cell technology industry delivering cell therapies and biologics that help address congestive heart failure, lower limb ischemia, chronic heart ischemia, acute myocardial infarctions and other issues. To date, the Company has not generated significant sales revenues, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through March 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated a deficit through its development stage of $117,503,543. |

|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
At the time of each transaction, management assesses whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based upon the payment terms of the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms or upon implementation or client acceptance, the fee is accounted for as not being fixed or determinable and revenue is recognized as the fees become due or after implementation or client acceptance has occurred. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the client and the creditworthiness of the client. |
|
Revenues for test kits and equipment sold are not recorded until test kits are delivered. Revenues from trainings are not recorded until the completion of the training. Any cash received as a deposit for trainings are recorded by the company as a liability. |
|
Unbilled revenue is revenue that is recognized but is not currently billable to the customer pursuant to contractual terms. In general, such amounts become billable in accordance with predetermined payment schedules, but recognized as revenue as services are performed. Amounts included in unbilled revenue are expected to be collected within one year and are included within current assets. |
|
Comprehensive Income |
|
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented. |
|
Net Income (loss) per Common Share, basic and diluted |
|
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of notes payable have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 498,696,292 and 222,688,816 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Stock Based Compensation |
|
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. (See note 10). |
|
As of March 31, 2014, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 43,650,856 shares of common stock, 16,650,856 shares of which were vested. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
|
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management. |
|
As of March 31, 2014, two customers represented 26% and 25% (total of 51%) of the Company’s accounts receivable. |
As of December 31, 2013, three customers represented 20%, 20% and 36% (total 76%) of the Company’s accounts receivable. |
|
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $322,572, of which two customers represented 17% and 10% of the Company’s revenues. |
Research and Development |
|
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $9,857 and $163,974 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $65,329,892 from August 12, 1999 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014. |
Fair Value |
|
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. |
The company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations nor cash flows. |
|
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants |
|
The Company has 4 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place. |
Derivative Instrument Liability |
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
