(unaudited)
 
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 U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. (f.k.a. 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 three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2014 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Basis and business presentation
 
U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. (f.k.a. 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. The business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine/cell therapy training services, cell collection and cell storage services, the sale of cell collection and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic. To date, the Company has not generated significant sales revenues in that they remain less than their total operating expenses, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a research and development business enterprise.
 
On October 12, 2015, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. and to implement a reverse stock split in the ratio of 1 share for every 1,000 shares of common stock. This amendment was approved and filed of record by the Florida Secretary of State on October 12, 2015, effective on October 19, 2015.  FINRA has declared the Company’s 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split market effective as of November 4, 2015. In addition, the ticker symbol will be BHRTD for 20 business days from November 4th 2015 at which point it will change to USRM. These financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split (see note 10).
 
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. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the client and the creditworthiness of the client.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
(unaudited)
 
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.
 
Patent treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.
 
Revenues for bank sales are accounted for as Multiple-Element Arrangements under ASC 605-10 which incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
 
At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had deferred revenues of $32,170 and $-0-, respectively.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Any changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable are changed to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0-.
 
Investments
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 323-10, Investments-Equity Methods and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323-10) which requires the accounting for investments where the Company can exert significant influence, but not control of a joint venture or equity investment.

Effective October 1, 2012, the effective interest rate was 12.85% per annum. The parties agreed, as of February 28, 2013, to reduce the interest rate to 7% per annum.
 
In connection with the consideration paid, Northstar waived, from the effective date through the earlier of termination or expiration of the agreement, satisfaction of the obligations as described in the forbearance agreement.

In addition, the Company is obligated to issue additional preferred stock equal in lieu of payment of cash of accrued and unpaid interest on each six month anniversary of the effective date (October 1, 2012). In lieu of the initial two payments in preferred stock, the parties have determined to modify the voting rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from 20 votes per share on matters to be voted on by the common stock holders to 25 votes per share on matters to be voted on by the common stock holders and all prior and subsequent payments of interest will be in common stock. The Company is required to issue additional shares of its common stock (as amended), in lieu of cash, each six month anniversary of the effective date for any accrued and unpaid interest.

Reset warrants
 
On October 1, 2012, in connection with the forbearance agreement with Northstar as discussed in Note 8 above, the Company issued an aggregate of 15,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.014 per share for ten years with anti-dilutive (reset) provisions.
 
The Company has identified embedded derivatives related to the issued warrants. These embedded derivatives included certain and anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
 
At September 30, 2015, the fair value of the reset provision related to the embedded derivative liability of $23,751 was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield: 0%; volatility: 136.32%; risk free rate: 1.74%; and expected life: 7.00 years. The Company recorded a gain on change in derivative liabilities of $58,760 and $126,168 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
 
Convertible notes

These notes are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of these notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

The fair value of the embedded derivatives at September 30, 2015, in the amount of $375,577, was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 136.32%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.01 to 0.33%, (4) expected lives of 0.25 to 0.92 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.0019 per share. The Company recorded a gain on change in derivative liabilities of $315,924 and $134,784 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
 
Based upon ASC 840-15-25 (EITF Issue 00-19, paragraph 11) the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

In conjunction with the authorized issuance of common stock, the Company granted 1,444 common stock purchase warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of approximately $11.27 per share for ten years.
 
NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
On March 19 2015, the Company settled a prospective dispute with a third party over the use of proprietary information through the issuance of 6,650 shares of common stock. (See Note 10)
 
On November 10, 2014, the Company was served with a lawsuit by an alleged assignee and a guarantor to a Loan Guarantee, Payment and Security Agreement. These parties claim breach of that Agreement and damages of approximately $2.3 Million plus interest. The assignor and assignee also sued the Company’s directors and two past directors and an affiliate shareholder for breach of fiduciary duty, claiming damages as alleged creditors arising out of these parties’ alleged participation in Northstar Biotech Group, LLC, a secured creditor of the Company. On June 1, 2015, the Company settled the lawsuit. As part of the settlement, the Company recorded a gain of $1,169,058. The Company provided a note to the original guarantor in the amount of $1,697,762, to be paid over a five year period with a 0% interest rate.
 
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, as of September 30, 2015, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such matters, if any, in excess of applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, as the outcome of litigation and other claims is difficult to predict significant changes in the estimated exposures could exist.
 
NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
 
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs.
 
 
U.S. STEM CELL, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
(unaudited)
 
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
 
As of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1 or 2 disclosures.
 
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in notes 7 and 9. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Notes 7 and 9 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
 
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
 
The derivative liability as of September 30, 2015, in the amount of $399,328 has a level 3 classification.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
(unaudited)
 
Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. The Company’s stock price decreased approximately 82% from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. As the stock price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally decreases.. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.
 
The estimated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in a higher fair value measurement.

Overview
 
We are an emerging enterprise in the regenerative medicine/cellular therapy industry. We are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of cell based therapeutics that prevent, treat or cure disease by repairing and replacing damaged or aged tissue, cells and organs and restoring their normal function. Our business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine / cell therapy training services, cell collection and cell storage services, the sale of cell collection and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic.
 
 
US Stem Cell Training, (“SCT”), an operating division of our company, is a content developer of regenerative medicine/cell therapy informational and training materials for physicians and patients. SCT also provides in-person and online training courses which are delivered through in-person presentations at SCT’s state of the art facilities and globally at university, hospital and physician’s office locations as well as through online webinars. Additionally, SCT provides hands-on clinical application training for physicians and health care professionals interested in providing regenerative medicine / cell therapy procedures.
 
Vetbiologics, (“VBI”), an operating division of our company, is a veterinary regenerative medicine company committed to providing veterinarians with the ability to deliver the highest quality regenerative medicine therapies to dogs, cats and horses. VBI provides veterinarians with extensive regenerative medicine capabilities including the ability to isolate regenerative stem cells from a patient’s own adipose (fat) tissue directly on-site within their own clinic or stall-side.
 
US Stem Cell Clinic, LLC, (“SCC”), a partially owned investment of our company, is a physician run regenerative medicine/cell therapy clinic providing cellular treatments for patients afflicted with neurological, autoimmune, orthopedic and degenerative diseases. SCC is operating in compliance with the FDA 1271s which allow for same day medical procedures to be considered the practice of medicine. We isolate stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue and also utilize platelet rich plasma.
 
U.S. Stem Cell, Inc.’s comprehensive map of products and services:
 
GRAPHIC
 
All living complex organisms start as a single cell that replicates, differentiates (matures) and perpetuates in an adult organism through its lifetime. Cellular therapy is the process that uses cells to prevent, treat or cure disease, or regenerate damaged or aged tissue. To date, the most common type of cell therapy has been the replacement of mature, functioning cells such as through blood and platelet transfusions. Since the 1970s, first bone marrow and then blood and umbilical cord-derived stem cells have been used to restore bone marrow, as well as blood and immune system cells damaged by the chemotherapy and radiation that are used to treat many cancers. These types of cell therapies are standard of practice world-wide and are typically reimbursed by insurance.
 
Within the field of cell therapy, research and development using stem cells to treat a host of diseases and conditions has greatly expanded. Stem cells (in either embryonic or adult forms) are primitive and undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into or otherwise affect many different cells, such as white blood cells, nerve cells or heart muscle cells. Our cell therapy development efforts are focused on the use of adult stem cells; those cells which are found in the muscle, fat tissue and peripheral blood.
 
 
There are two general classes of cell therapies: Patient Specific Cell Therapies ("PSCTs") and Off-the-Shelf Cell Therapies ("OSCTs"). In PSCTs, cells collected from a person (“donor”) are transplanted, with or without modification, to a patient (“recipient”). In cases where the donor and the recipient are the same individual, these procedures are referred to as “autologous”. In cases in which the donor and the recipient are not the same individual, these procedures are referred to as “allogeneic.” Autologous cells offer a low likelihood of rejection by the patient and we believe the long-term benefits of these PSCTs can best be achieved with an autologous product. In the case of OSCT, donor cells are expanded many fold in tissue culture, and large banks of cells are frozen in individual aliquots that may result in treatments for as many as 10,000 people from a single donor tissue. By definition, OSCTs are always allogeneic in nature.
 
Various adult stem cell therapies are in clinical development for an array of human diseases, including autoimmune, oncologic, neurologic and orthopedic, among other indications. While no assurances can be given regarding future medical developments, we believe that the field of cell therapy holds the promise to better the human experience and minimize or ameliorate the pain and suffering from many common diseases and/or from the process of aging.
 
According to Robin R. Young’s Stem Cell Summit Executive Summary-Analysis and Market Forecasts 2014-2024, the United States stem cell therapy market is estimated to grow from an estimated $237 million in 2013 to more than $5.7 billion in 2020.
 
Specific to cellular therapy, we are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of autologous cellular therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage as well as vascular and autoimmune diseases.
 
In our pipeline, we have multiple product candidates for the treatment of heart damage, including MyoCell and Myocell SDF-1. MyoCell and MyoCell SDF-1 are autologous muscle-derived cellular therapies 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.
 
MyoCell SDF-1 is intended to be an improvement to MyoCell. MyoCell SDF-1 is similar to MyoCell but the myoblast cells to be injected for use in MyoCell SDF-1 are modified prior to injection by an adenovirus vector or non-viral vector so that they will release extra quantities of the SDF-1 protein, which expresses angiogenic factors.
 
AdipoCell is a patient-derived cell therapy proposed for the treatment of lower limb ischemia and potentially, among other autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis. We hope to demonstrate that these product candidates are safe and effective complements to existing therapies for chronic and acute heart damage.
 
Our Clinical Development Pipeline Chart:
GRAPHIC
 
 
Our mission is to advance to market novel regenerative medicine and cellular therapy products that substantially benefit humankind. Our business strategy is, to the extent possible, finance our clinical development pipeline through revenue (cash in-flows) generated through the marketing and sales of unique educational and training services, animal health products and personalized cellular therapeutic treatments.
 
A fundamental shift in venture capital investment strategies where, management believes, financial sponsorship is now directed toward commercial or near commercial enterprises has required us to adapt our mission combining immediate revenue generating opportunities with longer-term development programs. Accordingly, we have developed a multifaceted portfolio of revenue generating products and services in our US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell Clinic, operating divisions that will, if successful, financially support its clinical development programs. Our goal is to maximize shareholder value through the generation of short-term profits that increase cash in-flows and decrease the need for venture financings – a modern biotechnology company development strategy.
 
Today, our company is a combination of opportunistic business enterprises. We estimate that the products and services we offer through US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell Clinics has the potential, although we cannot provide assurances as to if and when it will be accomplished, to drive up to $100 million dollars in cumulative peak annual revenues. What we are establishing is a foundation of value in the products and services we are and plan to sell from US Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and US Stem Cell clinics. Our strategy is to expand the revenues generated from each of these operating divisions and to reinvest the profits we generate into our clinical development pipeline.
 
On January 29th, 2015 we announced an update and diversification of our clinical development pipeline. Our cardiovascular and vascular product candidates have been streamlined, putting, we believe, our best opportunities at the forefront of our efforts. The MYOCELL and MYOCELL SDF-1 candidates will, in our opinion, advance forward in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). We are in active prospective partnering discussion for the MYOCELL SDF-1 program. Partnering, we contend, will enhance our capabilities, reduce our development cost through cost sharing and potentially accelerate our time to approval and commercialization. We will apply our ADIPOCELL technology to the treatment of critical limb ischemia. Additionally, we have expanded and diversified our clinical development pipeline to include autoimmune disease, specifically applying ADIPOCELL to the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). We believe that updating and diversifying our clinical development programs increases the probability of our success, brings operational and fiscal clarity to our company, and will ultimately enhance shareholder value.
 
We will continue to evaluate and act upon opportunities to increase our top line revenue position and that correspondingly increase cash in-flows. These opportunities include but are not limited to the development and marketing of new products and services, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing deals and more.
 
Further, if the opportunity presents itself whereby we can raise additional capital at a reasonable fair market value, our management will do so. Accordingly, we plan to continue in our efforts to restructure, equitize or eliminate legacy balance sheet issues that are obstacles to market capitalization appreciation and capital fund raising.
 
Following the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. and to implement a reverse stock split in the ratio of 1 share for every 1,000 shares of common stock. This amendment was approved and filed of record by the Florida Secretary of State on October 12, 2015, effective on October 19, 2015.  FINRA has declared our 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split market effective as of November 4, 2015. The number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock remained unchanged.  All fractional shares will be rounded up. The trading symbol after December 2, 2015 will be USRM (OTC Markets).
 
Results of Operations Overview
 
We are a research and development company and our MyoCell product candidate has not received regulatory approval or generated any material revenues and is not expected to until 2016, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation reflects our recognition as an expense of the value of stock options and other equity instruments issued to our employees and non-employees over the vesting period of the options and other equity instruments. We have granted to our employees options to purchase shares of common stock at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock at the time of each grant, as determined by our Board of Directors, with input from management.
 
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10. Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employee and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
 
In awarding our common stock, our Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
 
our financial position and historical financial performance;
arm’s length sales of our common stock;
the development status of our product candidates;
the business risks we face;
vesting restrictions imposed upon the equity awards; and
an evaluation and benchmark of our competitors; and
prospects of a liquidity event.
 
In April 1, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized, (and approved by our shareholders on February 2, 2015), the establishment of the Bioheart 2013 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, or the “2013 Omnibus Plan”. The 2013 Omnibus Plan reserves up to fifty thousand shares of common stock for issuance, subsequently increased to 100,000 on November 3, 2014. We currently have 89,400 available to future issuances.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our critical accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following policies are important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize 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. 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. We have 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.
 
Patent treatments and laboratory services revenue are recognized when those services have been completed or satisfied.
 
Revenues for bank sales are accounted for as Multiple-Element Arrangements under ASC 605-10 which incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
 
Research and Development Activities
 
We account for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the issued Notes and anti-dilutive warrants. These embedded derivatives included in our debt contain certain conversion features and reset provision. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of Asher Notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.
 
 
Inflation
 
Our opinion is that inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our operations.
 
Climate Change
 
Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
As of September 30, 2015, five customers represented 15%, 5%, 7%, 15% and 14% respectively for an aggregate of 56% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2014, two customers represented 38% and 17%, for an aggregate of 55%, of the Company’s accounts receivable.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we continued to finance our considerable operational cash needs with cash generated from financing activities.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $789,462 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $747,184 of cash used in the nine month period ended in September 30, 2014.
 
Our use of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected a net loss generated during the period of $282,982, adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation of $341,629, depreciation of $3,947, amortization of debt discounts of $612,811, and non-cash interest expense of $227,396, net with gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $260,953, net gain on settlement of debt of $2,097,483 and income from investments of $23,934. In addition we had a net decrease in operating assets of $1,739 and an increase in accrued expenses of $272,322, in accounts payable of $324,026 and deferred revenue of $32,170.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $168,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were to acquire office equipment of $894, additional investment of $10,000 and purchase of treasury stock of $157,664 as compared to $8,121 of cash used for the purchase of equipment for the same period of 2014.
 
Buy-Back Program
 
On January 13, 2015, we issued a press release announcing that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase outstanding common stock when beneficially prudent for our company and our shareholders. As of September 30, 2015, we have purchased an aggregate of 37,852 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. The share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase outstanding common stock by our company and our directors has continued through the final quarter of 2015.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was an aggregate of $987,004 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $755,670 in the nine month period ended in September 30, 2014. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 we sold, in private placements, shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate net cash proceeds of $582,808 and received proceeds from issuance of note payable of $541,410 net with repayments of notes payable of $143,818 and received $6,604 related party advances.
 
 
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 commercialization of MyoCell, 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, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $65,658. However our working capital deficit as of such date was approximately $7.5 million. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated March 16, 2015 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2014 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and Note 2 of our unaudited financial statement for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 addresses the issue of 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.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
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 Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based on their evaluation, as of September 30, 2015, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, summarized, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
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.
 
 
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
On November 10, 2014, the Company was served with a lawsuit by an alleged assignee and a guarantor to a Loan Guarantee, Payment and Security Agreement. These parties claim breach of that Agreement and damages of approximately $2.3 Million plus interest. The assignor and assignee also sued the Company’s directors and two past directors and an affiliate shareholder for breach of fiduciary duty, claiming damages as alleged creditors arising out of these parties’ alleged participation in Northstar Biotech Group, LLC, a secured creditor of the Company. On June 1, 2015, the Company settled the lawsuit.
 
Apart from the above, our Company is not involved in any material litigation pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K. 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.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold an aggregate of 7,852 shares of the Company’s common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,444 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $61,270. The warrants are (i) exercisable solely for cash at an exercise prices of approximately $11.27 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 tenth year anniversary of the date of issuance.
 
The issuance of such shares of our common stock was effected in reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a public offering, as set forth in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as mended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based on the following: the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
