SUNRISE, FL--(Marketwired - August 07, 2014) - Bioheart, Inc. (OTCQB: BHRT) released today financial information based on results from Q2 2014. The financial data shows that Bioheart has grown in product revenues, increased income, reduced debt, and further strengthened the financial standing of the company.

Bioheart product revenues are up from $24,321 to $819,606 comparing YTD 2013 to YTD 2014. The revenues recognized to date are related to sales of MyoCath, patient treatments, AdipoCell systems and related supplies, and cell culturing and banking services. Bioheart's YTD net income increased to $226,034, as compared to a net loss of $1,269,231 in YTD 2013, primarily resulting from gain on settlement of debt.

"The financial backbone of Bioheart is getting stronger and we continue to make strides on a daily basis," said Mike Tomas, Bioheart's president and CEO. "We have experienced two very strong quarters this year and will try to continue to improve the well-being of Bioheart for our shareholders."

Bioheart has continued to take steps to streamline operational costs, decreasing its net cash used in operating activities by 54% from $1,095,000 in YTD 2013 down to $507,000 in YTD 2014. Bioheart has been focused on reducing debt and decreasing current liabilities by $3.6 million (27%) from the beginning of the year. In addition, Bioheart has made strides to improve its working capital deficiency, decreasing the deficit by 28% from the beginning of the year.

Bioheart, as well as all entities in a development stage, will no longer need to present inception-to-date statements of operations or cash flows.
