NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements follows: |
|
General |
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Bioheart, Inc., (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. |
|
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 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 notes 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 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 research and development business enterprise. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
At the time of each transaction, management assesses whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based upon the payment terms of the transaction. 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. The Company has revenue sharing arrangements for the sale of goods whereby the Company is the primary obligor, sets pricing with the customers and bears all associated credit risks with the customers. Sales under revenue share arrangements are recorded as gross sales and any portion shared with third parties under such arrangements are classified as selling expense due to the nature of the marketing activities performed by the third party. 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. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 there was no unbilled revenue. |
|
Comprehensive Income |
|
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented. |
|
Net 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fully diluted shares outstanding were 659,543,477 and 323,296,916 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and 605,015,919 and 336,682,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2014, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 63,486,987 shares of common stock, 24,576,000 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 September 30, 2014, two customers represented 24% and 18% 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 September 30, 2014, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $579,536, of which no customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $31,659, of which two customers represented 18% and 80% of the Company’s revenues. |
|
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $1,563,864, of which one customer represented 11% of the Company’s revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services were $55,980, of which three customers represented 18%, 23% and 44% 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 $8,581 and $33,916 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively; and $158,381 and $494,762 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. |
|
Fair Value |
|
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. |
|
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, from the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM. A development stage entity is one that devotes substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and for which: (a) planned principal operations have not commenced; or (b) planned principal operations have commenced, but have produced no significant revenue. For example, many start-ups or even long-lived organizations that have not yet begun their principal operations or do not have significant revenue would be identified as development stage entities. For public business entities, the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective one year later, in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted the standards under ASV No. 2014-10. |
|
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial position and results of operations. |
|
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows |
|
Reclassification |
|
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform with the current year’s presentation. More specifically, product and service revenue has been separately disclosed on the face of the statement of operations. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses. |
