This report and the exhibits incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements” which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Statements other than statements of historical fact--constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “intend,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “initiate,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “designed,” “potential,” “evaluate,” “hypothesize,” “plan,” “progressing,” “proceeding,” “exploring,” “opportunity,” “hopes,” “suggest,” and similar expressions, or the negative of such expressions. Such statements are based upon certain assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.

These statements include, without limitation, statements about our anticipated expenditures, including research and development, and general and administrative expenses; the Company’s strategic collaborations and license agreements, intellectual property, FDA approvals and interactions and government regulation; the potential size of the market for our product candidates; our research and development efforts; results from our pre-clinical and clinical studies and the implications of such results regarding the efficacy or safety of our product candidates; the safety profile, pathways, and efficacy of our product candidates and formulations; anticipated advantages of our product candidates over other products available in the market and being developed; the populations that will most benefit from our product candidates and indications that will be pursued with each product candidate; anticipated progress in our current and future clinical trials; plans and strategies to create novel technologies; our IP strategy; competition; future development and/or expansion of our product candidates and therapies in our markets; sources of competition for any of our product candidates; our pipeline; our ability to generate  product or development revenue and the sources of such revenue; our ability to effectively manage our gross profit margins; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals; expectations as to our future performance; portions of the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this report, including our potential need for additional financing and the availability thereof; our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market; our ability to repay or refinance some or all of our outstanding indebtedness and our ability to raise capital in the future; our ability to transfer the drug product manufacture to a contract drug manufacturing organization; and the potential enhancement of our cash position through development, marketing, and licensing arrangements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are also subject to a number of additional material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risks described under “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and under “Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in this Quarterly report. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations or those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Our actual results may differ, including materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the early stage of our product candidates and therapies, the results of our research and development activities, including uncertainties relating to the clinical trials of our product candidates and therapies; our liquidity and capital resources and our ability to raise additional cash, the outcome of our partnering/licensing efforts, risks associated with laws or regulatory requirements applicable to us, market conditions, product performance, potential litigation, and competition within the regenerative medicine field, among others. The forward-looking statements included in this report are also subject to a number of additional material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risks described under “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and under “Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in this Quarterly report. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations or those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

We encourage you to read the risks described under “Risk Factor Summary” and “Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in this report carefully. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report.  These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this report (unless an earlier date is indicated) and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements except as required by law.  Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards

OurThe accompanying unaudited consolidated  condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 20162021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.  Our consolidatedThe condensed balance sheet at December 31, 20162021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at December 31, 2016,2021, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of CytoriPlus Therapeutics, Inc., and ourits subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on MarchFebruary 24, 2017.

On May 10, 2016, following stockholder and Board approval, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended was filed and declared effective, which Amendment effectuated a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of the Company’s (i) outstanding common stock, and (ii) common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options (the “1:15 Reverse Stock Split”).  Upon effectiveness of the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (x) issued  and  outstanding  decreased from  approximately  200 million  shares  (as of May 10, 2016) to  approximately  13.3  million  shares; (y) reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased from approximately 16 million shares to approximately 1.1 million shares, and (z) reserved but unallocated under our current equity incentive plans (including the stockholder-approved share increase to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan) decreased from approximately 6.5 million common shares to approximately 0.4 million common shares. In connection with the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split, the Company also decreased the total number of its authorized shares of common stock from 290 million to 75 million. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock remained unchanged. Following the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. The Company adjusted stockholders’ equity to reflect the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the shares eliminated by the split from common stock to the Additional Paid-in Capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in no net impact to stockholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s shares of common stock commenced trading on a split-adjusted basis on May 12, 2016. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans for all periods presented.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to certain of the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the amendment of which addressed narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition as well as providing a practical expedient for contract modifications. In April 2016, March 2016 and DecemberJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-08 and ASU No. 2016-20, respectively,2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard amends the amendments of which further clarified aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing and implementation guidance, improvements to the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and contract cost clarifications. The FASB issued the initial release of Topic 606 in ASU No. 2014-09, which requiresimpairment model by requiring entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities may use a full retrospectiveforward-looking approach or a modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption. We expectbased on expected losses to use the modified retrospective approach. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017estimate credit losses for interimmost financial assets and annual reporting periods beginning aftercertain other instruments that date. Early adoption of ASU 2016-10 is permitted but not before the original effective date (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017). We performed a

6


preliminary assessment of the impact of ASU 2014-09 and related amendments on the consolidated financial statements, and considered all items outlined in the standard. In assessing the impact, we have outlined all revenue generating activities, mapped those activities to deliverables and traced those deliverables to the standard. We are currently assessing what impact the change in standard will have on those deliverables. We will continue to evaluate the future impact and method of adoption of ASU 2014-09 and related amendments on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures throughout 2017. We believe the adoption will modify the way we analyze contracts. We will adopt the new standard beginning January 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. Under this new guidance,aren’t measured at the commencement date, lesseesfair value through net income. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize (i)an allowance for credit losses rather than a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligationreduction in carrying value of the asset. Entities will no longer be permitted to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an assetconsider the length of time that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.fair value has been less than amortized cost when evaluating when credit losses should be recognized. This new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2023 for calendar-year SEC filers that are smaller reporting companies as of the one-time determination date. Early adoption is permitted beginning in 2019. The Company plans to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2023, and it does not applicable for leases with a termexpect that adoption of 12 months or less. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have a material impact on our consolidatedits financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cashstatements and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard will change the presentation of our statement of cash flows to include our restricted cash balance with the non-restricted cash balances. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to provide clarity and reduce both 1) diversity in practice and 2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This update applies to companies that measure inventory on a first in, first out, or FIFO, or average cost basis. Under this update, companies are to measure their inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption, effective January 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which involves

7


several aspects of the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, as opposed to additional paid-in-capital where it is currently recorded. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. All tax-related cash flows resulting from stock-based payments are to be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. The guidance also allows a Company to make a policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We have elected to keep our policy consistent for the application of a forfeiture rate and, as such, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. We elected to early adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2017 and this guidance was used in our assessment of the Azaya Therapeutics asset purchase agreement entered into in February 2017.related disclosures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  OurThe Company’s most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, reviewing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, and determining the assumptions used in measuring share-basedstock-based compensation expense, measuring expense related to our in process research and development acquisition, and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves.expense.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

Liquidity

WeThe Company incurred net losses of $4.8 million and $18.4$4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $5.4 million and $17.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  We haveMarch 31, 2022.  The Company had an accumulated deficit of $397.5$451.0 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.  Additionally, we havethe Company used net cash of $13.9 million and $15.4$3.9 million to fund ourits operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.March 31, 2022.

Further, the Loan and Security Agreement, with Oxford Finance, LCC (“Oxford”), as amended and further described

As disclosed in more detail in Note 5, requires us to maintain a minimum of $1.5 million in unrestricted9, the Company had entered into various financing agreements, and raised capital by issuing its common stock. The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents on handwill be sufficient to avoid an event of default underfund its operations for at least the Loan and Security Agreement. Based on our cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $4.8 million at September 30, 2017, we estimate that we must raisenext 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company continues to seek additional capital and/through strategic transactions and from other financing alternatives. If sufficient capital is not raised, the Company will at a minimum need to significantly reduce or obtaincurtail its research and development and other operations, and this would negatively affect its ability to achieve corporate growth goals.

FairValue Measurements

Fair value measurements are market-based measurements, not entity-specific measurements.  Therefore, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The Company follows a waiver or restructurethree-level hierarchy to prioritize the Loan and Security Agreementinputs used in the valuation techniques to avoid defaulting under our $1.5 million minimum cash/cash equivalents covenant.derive fair values.  The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in active markets.

To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital including our recently completed

Certain warrants issued in an underwritten public offering Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLCin September 2019 (“Lincoln Park”Series U Warrants”) andare classified as liability instruments. The Company estimated the 2016 Rights Offering (each defined below), our at-the-market (“ATM”) equity facility,fair value of the Loan and Security Agreement and gross profits.  We have had, and we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our future clinical development programs and other operations. Our inability to raise additional cash will have a material and adverse impact on operations and will cause us to default on our loan.

On September 5, 2017, we received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, we no longer meet the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 5, 2018, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain complianceSeries U Warrants with the minimum bid price requirement,Black Scholes model. Because some of the closing bid priceinputs to the Company’s valuation model are either not observable or are not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, the warrant liability is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

On September 1, 2017, the Company announced a substantial corporate restructuring intended to significantly reduce expenses while maintaining its ability to execute on its U.S. BARDA-sponsored cell therapy program, Japanese cell therapy business and oncology drug program. The restructuring reduced Cytori’s workforce by approximately 50% and significantly reduced the Company’s operational cash burn.

On April 11, 2017, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC “Maxim”) relating to the issuance and sale of 8.6 million shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Long-term Debt

On May 29, 2015, wethe Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement dated May 29, 2015, with Oxford,(the “Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which itOxford Finance, LLC (“Oxford”) funded an aggregate principal amount of $17.7 million (“Term(the “Term Loan”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. The Term Loan accrues interest at a floating rate of at least 8.95% per annum, comprised of a three-month LIBOR rate with a floor of 1.00% plus 7.95%.  Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, we were previouslyas amended, the Company is required to make interest only payments through JuneMay 1, 20162021 and thereafter we wereit is required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments sufficient to amortize the Term Loan through June 1, 2019,2024, the maturity date. On February 23, 2016, we received an acknowledgement and agreement from Oxford related to the positive data on our U.S. ACT-OA clinical trial. As a result, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the period for which we are required to make interest-only payments was extended from July 1, 2016 to January 1, 2017. All unpaid principal and interest with respect to the Term Loan is due and payable in full on June 1, 2019. At maturity of the Term Loan, or earlier repayment in full following voluntary prepayment or upon acceleration, we arethe Company is required to make a final payment in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $1.1$3.2 million. In connection with the Term Loan, on May 29, 2015, wethe Company issued to Oxford warrants to purchase an aggregate of 94,441188 shares of ourthe Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.35$5,175 per share. These warrants became exercisable as of November 30, 2015 and will expire on May 29, 2025 and, following the authoritative accounting guidance, are equity classified and its respective fair value was recorded as a discount to the debt.

OnFrom September 20, 2017 weto March 2019, the Company entered into an amendmenta total of seven amendments to the Term Loan pursuant to which, amongamongst other things, Oxfordextended the interest only period, required repayment of $3.1 million using the proceeds received from sale of the Company’s former UK and Japan subsidiaries in April 2019, increased the Lenders agreed to reducefinal payment, increased the final payment fee upon maturity or early repayment of the Term Loan, and increased the minimum liquidity covenant level originally at $5 million to $1.5$2.0 million.  The

On March 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment also extends the interest-only period underof the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), pursuant to Januarywhich Oxford agreed to defer the start date of principal repayment from May 1, 2018, with a2020 to May 1, 2021 and extended the term of the Term Loan from September 1, 2021 to June 1, 2024. The principal repayment start date was further extension through Augustdeferred to November 1, 2018 if2021. In addition, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, on April 1, 2020, the Company receives unrestricted netmade a $5.0 million paydown of principal upon execution of the Ninth Amendment and $0.3 million of related final payment. In addition, an amendment fee of $1.0 million will be payable in connection with the Ninth Amendment at the earlier of the maturity date, acceleration of the loans and the making of certain prepayments. All other major terms remained consistent.

Under authoritative guidance, the Ninth Amendment does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. In addition, the Company performed a quantitative analysis and determined that the terms of the new debt and original debt instrument are not substantially different. Accordingly, the Ninth Amendment is accounted for as debt modification. A new effective interest rate that equates the revised cash proceedsflows to the carrying amount of at least $5 million on or before December 29, 2017.the original debt is computed and applied prospectively.

The Term Loan, as amended, is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired assets, including its intellectual property assets, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended.  The intellectual property asset collateral will be released upon the Company achieving a certain liquidity level when the total principal outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement is less than $3 million. As of September 30, 2017, we wereMarch 31, 2022, there was $3.6 million principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan, excluding the $3.2 million final payment fee, and the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Company’s interest expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.6 million and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.$0.2 million. Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method,method; therefore it is inclusive of non-cash amortization in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.6$0.1 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2021, related to the amortization of the debt discount, capitalized loan costs, and accretion of final payment.

The Term Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, contains customary indemnification obligations and customary events of default, including, among other things, ourthe Company’s failure to fulfill certain obligations under the Term Loan, as amended, and the occurrence of a material adverse change, which is defined as a material adverse change in ourthe Company’s business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise), a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the loan. In the event of default by usthe Company or a declaration of material adverse change by ourits lender, under the Term Loan, the lender would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which wethe Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the Term Loan, which could materially harm ourthe Company’s financial condition. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants underMarch 31, 2022, the Term Loan and haveCompany has not received any notification or indication from the LendersOxford to invoke the material adverse change clause. However, due to our current cash flow position and the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, the entire principal amount of the Term Loan has been reclassified to short-term. We will continue to evaluate the debt classification on a quarterly basis and evaluate for reclassification in the future should our financial condition improve.

Loss per Share

Basic per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding as calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares were related entirely to outstanding but unexercised options, multiple series of convertible preferred stock, and warrants for all periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

WeLeases

At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. If both criteria are met, the Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on the rate implicit in the lease or an incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. Lease renewable options are included in the estimation of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.  

The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its operating lease right-of-use assets as long-term assets. Right-of-use assets for finance leases are recorded within property and equipment, net in the condensed balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed balance sheets. Instead, the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed statements of operations.

The Company leases laboratory, office and storage facilities in San Antonio, Texas, under operating lease agreements that expire in 2025. The Company also leases certain office space in Austin, Texas under a month-to-month operating lease agreement. On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in Charlottesville, Virginia (the “Charlottesville Lease”). The Charlottesville Lease has a term of 12 months and is renewable for four additional one-year periods. The minimum lease payment is $30,000 for the first twelve months, subject to a 3% annual increase if and when the lease is renewed. The lease commencement date is April 1, 2021 and currently expires on March 31, 2023. The Company measured the operating lease right-of-use asset and related lease liability related to the Charlottesville Lease as of the lease commencement date. In addition, the Company has entered into leases for certain equipment under various operating and finance leases. During 2021, contractual terms of all finance leases had expired and the Company did not have any right-of-use assets or lease liabilities relating to finance leases as of March 31, 2022. The Company’s existing operating lease agreements generally provide for periodic rent increases, and renewal and termination options. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

10


Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Payments for the transfer of goods or services such as common area maintenance and utilities represent non-lease components. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and therefore does not separate non-lease components from lease components.

The Company’s operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets are included in the condensed balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, weighted average discount rate used to measure operating lease liabilities and the operating leases remaining term were 9.0% and 2.82%, respectively.

Fair Value

Measurements

Fair value measurements are market-based measurements, not entity-specific measurements.  Therefore, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  We follow a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values.  The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in active markets.

As of September 30, 2017, and as of December 31, 2016,NanoTx granted the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value presented onan irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive, fully paid-up license, with the Company’s balance sheets.

Financial Instruments

We disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicableright to estimate fair value. The disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2017sublicense and December 31, 2016, were determined using available market informationto make, develop, commercialize and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market dataotherwise exploit certain patents, know-how and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value duetechnology related to the short-term naturedevelopment of these instruments. Further, based onradiolabeled nanoliposomes.

On May 7, 2020, all closing conditions under the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, we believeNanoTx License Agreement were satisfied and the Company paid an upfront cash payment and issued 230,769 shares of its common stock to NanoTx.

At the closing of the acquisition, we (i) issued 1,173,241 of shares of our common stock in Azaya’s name, (A) 879,931 of which were delivered to Azaya promptly after the Closing, and (B) 293,310 of which were deposited into a 15-month escrow pursuant to a standard escrow agreement; and (ii) assumed the obligation to pay approximately $1.8 million of Azaya’s existing payables, all of which were paid on or prior to September 30, 2017.  At the Closing Date, Azaya had no employees and therefore no Azaya employees were transitioned to us. 

In addition, as of the Closing Date, the Company committed to certain contingent considerations to: (i) pay Azaya fixed commercialization milestone payments based upon achievement of certain net sales milestones for ATI-0918; (ii) make certain earn-out payments to Azaya equal to a mid-single-digit percentage of net sales of ATI-0918; and (iii) make certain earn-out payments to Azaya equal to a low single-digit percentage of net sales of any product (ATI-0918 is the “Generic Product” and ATI-1123 is the “Patented Product”), including ATI-1123, that practices a claim in the related patent assigned by Azaya to the Company (the “ATI-1123 Patent”).  Our aggregate earn-out payment obligations to Azaya from global net sales of both ATI-0918 and any Patented Product will not exceed $100.0 million (the “Earn-Out Cap”).

Further, the Agreement provides that if we enter into certain assignments, licenses or other transfers of rights to a Patented Product or the ATI-1123 Patent, we will pay Azaya a percentage in the low to mid-teens of the consideration received by us, provided, that our aggregate payment obligation to Azaya for any such assignment, license or other transfer of rights will not exceed $50.0 million.

If the Company or its successors, sublicenses or transferees sells a competing product to ATI-0918 at any time prior to satisfaction of the Earn-Out Cap, other than because ATI-0918 fails to receive marketing authorization from the European

12


Medicines Agency within a certain period of time or fails to generate a minimum threshold of net sales within a pre-determined amount of time, then 50% of the net sales of such competing product would be deemed to be net sales of ATI-0918 under the Agreement for purposes of calculating commercialization milestone payments and earn-out payments.

We accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition because the acquired set of assets did not meet the definition of a business. The total consideration of $4.3 million, which consists of $2.3 million related to the fair value of the common stock issued to Azaya at the acquisition date, $1.8 million in assumed liabilities and $0.2 million in acquisition costs, was allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values at the time of acquisition. All other future payments were deemed contingent consideration which will be accounted for when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable.

When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Company estimated the cost to replace the tangible asset with a new asset, taking into consideration such factors as age, condition and the economic useful life of the asset. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company used a discounted cash flow model with key inputs being the applicable discount rate, market growth rates and the timing and amount of future cash flows. The acquired IPR&D is in the early stage of development. Additional research, pre-clinical studies, and regulatory approvals must be successfully completed prior to selling any product. Because there is no current alternative use for the IPR&D, following the authoritative accounting guidance, the Company has expensed it in full on the Closing Date. The Company measured the fair value of the shares issued as consideration in the acquisition of the assets based on the stock price at the acquisition date. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition of the assets have been capitalized. The total consideration was allocated on a relative fair value basis to the assets acquired, as follows (in thousands):

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020.  COVID-19 has presented substantial public health and economic challenges and is affecting economies, financial markets and business operations around the world. While the Company has implemented additional health and safety precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic and government guidelines, the Company has not experienced a significant impact on its business and operations.  However, the Company may experience disruptions that could adversely impact its business operations as well as its preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company considered the impacts of COVID-19 on the dateassumptions and estimates used to prepare its financial statements and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of issuanceoperations and financial position at March 31, 2022. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact its business, results of approximately $0.2 millionoperations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as commitment shares in considerationa result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act, among other things, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s social security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for entering intoqualified improvement property.  The CARES Act had no material impact on the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. We will issue up to an additional 382,258 shares of common stock on a pro rata basis to Lincoln Park only as and when shares are sold underCompany’s income tax provision for the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement to Lincoln Park. Through September 30, 2017, we sold a total of 1,490,937 shares underyear ended December 31, 2021 or the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for proceeds of approximately $1.5 million.

Overview

This Quarterly report on Form 10-Q refersPlus Therapeutics, Inc. is a U.S. pharmaceutical company developing innovative, targeted radiotherapeutics for adults and children with rare and difficult-to-treat cancers. Our novel radioactive drug formulations and therapeutic candidates are designed to trademarksdeliver safe and effective doses of radiation to tumors. To achieve this, we have developed innovative approaches to drug formulation, including encapsulating radionuclides such as Cytori Cell Therapy, Habeo Cell Therapy, Celution, StemSource, Celase, Intravase,Rhenium isotopes within nanoliposomes and Cytori Nanomedicine. Solely for convenience, our trademarks and tradenames referred to in this Form 10-Q may appear without the ® or ™ symbols, but such referencesmicrospheres. Our formulations are not intended to indicateachieve elevated tumor absorbed radiation doses and extended retention times such that the clearance of the isotope occurs after significant radiation decay, which we believe will contribute and provide less normal tissue/organ exposure and improved safety margins.

Traditional approaches to radiation therapy for cancer such as external beam radiation have many disadvantages including continuous treatment for 4-6 weeks (which is onerous for patients), radiation that inadvertently damages healthy cells and tissue, and a very limited amount of radiation that can be safely delivered, therefore, is frequently inadequate to fully destroy the cancer.

Our targeted radiotherapeutic platform and unique investigational drugs have the potential to overcome these disadvantages by directing higher, more powerful radiation doses at the tumor—and only the tumor—potentially in any waya single treatment. By minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues while simultaneously maximizing efficacy, we hope to reduce the toxicity of radiation for patients, improving their quality of life and life expectancy. Our radiotherapeutic platform, combined with advances in surgery, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, and radiation oncology, affords us the opportunity to target a broad variety of cancer types.

Our lead radiotherapeutic candidate, Rhenium-186 NanoLiposome (“186RNL”) is designed specifically to target central nervous system (“CNS”) cancers including recurrent glioblastoma, leptomeningeal metastases, and pediatric brain cancers by direct localized delivery utilizing approved standard-of-care tissue access such as with conduction enhanced delivery (“CED”) and intraventricular brain catheters (Ommaya reservoir).  Our recently acquired radiotherapeutic candidate, Rhenium-188 NanoLiposome Biodegradable Alginate Microsphere (“188RNL-BAM”) is designed to treat many solid organ cancers including primary and secondary liver cancers.

Our headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in Texas and are nearby world-class cancer institutions and researchers. Our dedicated team of engineers, physicians, scientists, and other professionals are committed to advancing our targeted radiotherapeutic technology for the benefit of cancer patients and healthcare providers worldwide and our current pipeline is focused on treating rare and difficult-to-treat cancers with significant unmet medical needs.

Pipeline

Our most advanced investigational drug, 186RNL, is a patented radiotherapy potentially useful for patients with CNS and other cancers.  Preclinical study data describing the use of 186RNL for several cancer targets have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Besides glioblastoma, leptomeningeal metastases, and pediatric brain cancer, 186RNL has been reported to have potential applications for head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and peritoneal scarcinomatosis.

The 186RNL technology was part of a licensed radiotherapeutic portfolio that we acquired from NanoTx, Corp. (“NanoTx”) on May 7, 2020. The licensed radiotherapeutic has been evaluated in preclinical studies for several cancer targets and we have an active $3.0 million award from U.S. National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute which will provide financial support for the continued clinical development of 186RNL for recurrent glioblastoma through the completion of a Phase 2 clinical trial including enrollment of up to 55 patients. Thus far, 23 patients have been treated in the Phase 1 clinical trial and the Phase 2 clinical trial has not assert,yet been

16


initiated.

We are currently conducting the ReSPECT-GBM and ReSPECT-LM clinical trials for recurrent glioblastoma (“GBM”) and leptomeningeal metastases (“LM””), respectively. In addition, we anticipate seeking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational New Drug (“IND”) approval for the ReSPECT-PBC clinical trial for pediatric brain cancer (“PBC”) in late 2022 or early 2023.

186RNL versus External Beam Radiation Therapy

186RNL is a novel injectable radiotherapy designed to deliver targeted, high dose radiation directly into glioblastoma tumors in a safe, effective, and convenient manner that may ultimately prolong patient survival.  186RNL is composed of the radionuclide Rhenium-186 and a nanoliposomal carrier, and is infused in a highly targeted fashion, directly into the tumor via precision brain mapping and convection enhanced delivery (“CED”).  Potential benefits of 186RNL compared to standard external beam radiotherapy (“EBRT”) include:

The 186RNL radiation dose delivered to patients may be up to 20 times greater than what is possible with commonly used EBRT.

186RNL can be visualized in real-time during administration, possibly giving clinicians better control of radiation dosing and distribution.

186RNL potentially more effectively treats the bulk tumor and microscopic disease that has already invaded healthy tissue.  

186RNL is infused directly into the targeted tumor, bypassing the blood brain barrier, which reduces radiation exposure to healthy cells, in contrast to EBRT which passes through normal tissue to reach the tumor, continuing its path through the tumor, hence being less targeted and selective.    

186RNL is given during a single, short, in-patient hospital visit, and is available in all hospitals with nuclear medicine and neurosurgery, while EBRT requires out-patient visits 5 days a week for approximately 4-6 weeks.  

ReSPECT-GBM Trial for Recurrent GBM

GBM is the most common, complex, and aggressive primary brain cancer in adults. Annually in the U.S., there are 12,900 GBM cases diagnosed and approximately 10,000 patients succumb to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rightsdisease each year. The average life expectancy with primary glioblastoma is less than 24 months, with a one-year survival rate of 40.8% and a five-year survival rate of only 6.8%. GBM often causes and presents with headaches, seizures, vision changes and other significant neurological complications. Despite the best available medical treatments to these trademarkseliminate the initial brain tumor, some microscopic disease frequently remains, with tumor regrowth within months.  Approximately 90% or more of patients with primary GBM experience tumor recurrence. Complete surgical removal of GBM is not typically possible and tradenames.

Overview

Our strategyGBM is often resistant or quickly develops resistance to build a profitable and growing specialty therapeutics company focused on rare and niche opportunities frequently overlooked by larger companies but requiring breadth of scope, expertise and focus often not possessed by ormost available to smaller companies.  To meet this objective, we have, thus far, identified two therapeutic development platforms, discussed below, and candidate therapeutics in our pipeline that hold promise for many patients and significant market potential. Our current corporate activities fall substantially into one of two key areas related to our two therapeutic development platforms: Cytori Cell Therapy and

15


Cytori Nanomedicine. 

Cytori Cell Therapy, or CCT, is based on the scientific discovery that the human adipose or fat tissue compartment is a source of a unique mixed population of stem, progenitor and regenerative cells that may hold substantial promise intherapies. Even today, the treatment of numerous diseasesGBM remains a significant challenge and conditions.  To bringit has been nearly a decade since the FDA approved a new therapy for this promisedisease

For recurrent GBM, there are few currently approved treatments that in the aggregate, provide only marginal survival benefit. Furthermore, these therapies are associated with significant side effects, which limit dosing and prolonged use.

While EBRT has been shown to health providers,be safe and effective in many malignancies including glioblastoma, the maximum possible administered dose is limited by toxicity to the normal tissues surrounding the malignancy. In contrast, targeted radiopharmaceuticals that precisely deliver radiation in the form of beta particles such as Iodine-131 for thyroid cancer, are known to minimize exposure to normal cells and tissues which we are developing novel therapies prepared and administered at the patient’s bedside with proprietary technologies that include therapy-specific reusable, automated, standardized Celution devices and single-use procedure sets consisting of Celution consumables, Celase reagent, and Intravase reagent.  Our lead product candidate, Habeo Cell Therapy (formerly named ECCS-50), was evaluatedhope will result in a Cytori-sponsored U.S. randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center clinicalsafer and more effective treatment.

Interim results from our ongoing Phase 1/2a ReSPECT-GBM trial, STAR (Scleroderma Treatment with Celution Processed Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells), forsuggest beta particle energy from our lead investigational drug 186RNL may also have utility in treating GBM and other malignancies. More specifically, the treatment of impaired hand function in patients with scleroderma.  On July 24, 2017, we announced top-line, preliminary data.  The STAR trial enrolled and evaluated 88 patients with scleroderma, including 51 patients within the diffuse cutaneous subset and 37 with limited cutaneous scleroderma.  While the primary and secondary endpoints did not reach statistical significance for the population as a whole, the trial data reported clinically meaningful improvementfrom ReSPECT-GBM indicates that radiation, in the primary and secondary endpointsform of both hand function and scleroderma-associated functional disability, for Habeo-treated patients compared to placebo, in the pre-specified subgroup of patients with diffuse cutaneous scleroderma. Additional CCT treatments are in various stages of development in the areas of urology, wounds, and orthopedics.  Further, our CCT platform is the subject of investigator-initiated trials conducted by our partners, licensees and other third parties, some of which are supported by us and/high energy beta particles or funded by government agencies and other funding sources.  Currently, we internally manufacture the Celution devices and consumables in the U.S. and the United Kingdom and source our Celase and Intravase reagents from a third-party supplier.  We also have obtained regulatory approval to sell some of our CCT products, including our Celution devices and consumables and associated reagents, in certain markets outside the U.S.  In those markets,electrons, can be effective against GBM. Thus far, we have been able to further developdeliver up to 740 Gy of absorbed radiation to tumor issue without significant or dose limiting toxicities. Incomparison, current EBRT protocols for recurrent GBM typically recommend a total maximum dose of about 35 Gy.

In September 2020, the FDA granted both Orphan Drug designation and improve our core technologies, gain expanded clinical and product experience and data, and generate sales.

The Cytori Nanomedicine platform features a versatile protein-stabilized liposomal nanoparticle technology for drug encapsulation that has thus far provided the foundationFast Track designations to bring two promising drugs into early/late stage clinical trials.  Nanoparticle encapsulation is promising because it can help improve the trafficking and metabolism of many drugs, thus potentially enhancing the therapeutic profile and patient benefits.  Our lead drug candidate, ATI-0918, is a generic version of pegylated liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin.  Pegylated liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin is a heavily relied upon chemotherapeutic used in many cancer types on a global basis.  We believe that data from a 60-patient European study of ATI-0918 has met the statistical criteria for bioequivalence to CAELYX®, the current reference listed drug in Europe.  We intend that these bioequivalence data will serve as a basis for our planned regulatory submission to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, for ATI-0918. We are currently evaluating our strategic options to bring ATI-0918 to the U.S. market. Our second nanomedicine drug candidate is ATI-1123, a novel and new chemical entity which is a nanoparticle-encapsulated form of docetaxel, also a workhorse chemotherapeutic drug used for many cancers.  A Phase I clinical trial of ATI-1123 has been completed and we are investigating possible expansion of this trial to Phase II, most likely in conjunction with a development partner. Finally, in connection with our acquisition of the ATI-0918 and ATI-1123 drug candidates, we have acquired know-how (including proprietary processes and techniques) and a scalable nanoparticle manufacturing plant in San Antonio, Texas from which we intend to test, validate and eventually manufacture commercial quantities of our nanoparticle drugs.

Cytori Cell Therapy

The primary near-term goal is for Habeo Cell Therapy to be the first cell therapy product approved 186RNL for the treatment of impaired hand function in patients with sclerodermaglioblastoma.

186RNL is presently under clinical investigation in a multicenter, sequential cohort, open-label, volume and dose escalation study of the safety, tolerability, and distribution of 186RNL given by CED to patients with recurrent or progressive malignant glioma after standard surgical, radiation, and/or chemotherapy treatment (NCT01906385). The study uses a modified Fibonacci dose escalation, followed by a planned expansion at the maximum tolerated dose/maximum feasible dose to determine efficacy. The trial is funded through Cytori-sponsoredPhase 2 in large part by a NIH/NCI grant. The planned enrollment in the NIH/NCI grant is 21 patients in the dose-escalation part of the study and supported clinical34 patients in the expansion cohort. The study is in its 8th dosing administration cohort and is under development efforts.

and internal review to potentially advance to a Phase 2 or registration trial.

At the Society for Neuro-Oncology Annual Meeting in November 2021, we presented patient data which at that time included the results for 22 patients treated in the ReSPECT-GBM trial. The trial, thus far, has shown that CED in recurrent GBM patients is feasible. Median absorbed dose to the tumor volume across all subjects in the first eight cohorts (n=22) was 267.5 Gy (range 8.9-740). In a subset of patients in whom tumor coverage was greater than or equal to 75%, the median absorbed dose was 405 Gy (range 146-593). By contrast, the median absorbed doses to the whole brain and the total body across all subjects were 0.55 Gy (range 0.001-2.728) and 0.09 Gy (range 0.001-0.182), respectively. Small doses, as delivered to the body, are typically well-tolerated. Based on observed and reported patient protocol activity and all available adverse event (“AE”) data, 186RNL has been well-tolerated. No AEs with an outcome of death or study drug-related serious AEs have been reported. Furthermore, no patient has been discontinued from the study because of an AE. All AEs have been mild or moderate (Grade 1 or 2) in intensity, except for one case of Grade 3 vasogenic edema, which was considered by the investigator to be unrelated to the study drug. AEs considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to 186RNL have included Grade 1 to 2 skin and soft tissue infection, intermittent cephalgia, neck and jaw pain, nausea with or without vomiting, constipation, increased lethargy, difficulty walking (gait disturbance), worsening double vision, and dysuria. Scalp discomfort and tenderness related to the surgical procedure has also been reported.

In the U.S., the STAR clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of22 subjects with recurrent GBM receiving a single administration of Habeo Cell Therapy186RNL, the mean & median OS for impaired hand functionall 22 patients as of November 2021 was 48.1 & 33.1 weeks, respectively, with 7 patients alive. In a subset of 13 patients receiving a presumed therapeutic absorbed radiation dose to the tumor (>100 Gy), the mean & median OS was 64.8 & 47.1 weeks, respectively, with 7 of 13 patients alive. In contrast, in 9 patients receiving a presumed sub-therapeutic absorbed radiation dose to the tumor (<100 Gy), the mean and median OS was 23.9 & 22.3 weeks, respectively. A Kaplan-Meier curve comparing patients with scleroderma.presumed therapeutic vs. sub-therapeutic radiation dose to the tumor showed a statistically significant difference between the groups (p=.0002). It is hypothesized that targeted infusion of 186RNL into the tumor by CED, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and normal brain and external tissues, significantly spares normal tissues from radiation exposure and potential toxicity and concentrates radiation to the tumor and surrounding region of interest.

ReSPECT-LM Clinical Trial for Leptomeningeal Metastases

LM is a rare complication of cancer in which the disease spreads to the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The first sites for our STAR trial were initiatedincidence of LM is growing and occurs in July 2015 and final enrollmentapproximately 5% of 88 patients was completed in June 2016. As noted above, preliminary assessment of unblinded top-line data show that while the primary and secondary endpoints did not reach statistical significance at 24people with late-stage cancer, or 48 weeks, the trial data reported potentially clinically meaningful improvement110,000 people in the primaryU.S. each year. It is highly lethal with an average 1-year survival of just 7%. LM occurs with cancers that are most likely to spread to the central nervous system. The most common cancers to spread to the leptomeninges are breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and secondary endpointsgastrointestinal cancers---though most solid tumors have the potential for LM spread.

The ReSPECT-LM Phase 1 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05034497) is predicated in part upon preclinical studies in which tolerance to doses of 186RNL as high as 1,075 Gy was shown in animal models with LM without significant observed toxicity. Furthermore, treatment led to marked reduction in tumor burden in both hand functionC6 and scleroderma-associated functional disability,MDA-231 LM models.

In October 2021, the FDA announced clearance of our IND application for Habeo-treated patients compared to placebo, 186RNL for the treatment of LM. Subsequently, in November 2021, the FDA granted a Fast Track designation for 186RNL for the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases. We treated our first patient in the subgroup of patients with diffuse cutaneous scleroderma. Further analysis of this data is ongoing.

With respect toIn August 2021, we announced plans for treating pediatric brain cancer at the remainder2021 American Association of our current CCT clinical pipeline:

We completed our U.S. Phase II ACT-OA (Celution Prepared Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells in the Treatment of OsteoArthritis of the Knee), or ACT-OA clinical trial, in June 2015. The 48-week analysis of ECCO-50 Cell Therapy was performed as planned and the top-line data are described in the “Osteoarthritis” section below.

Neurological Surgeons (“AANS”) Annual Scientific Meeting. In July 2015,2021, we reported that we had received FDA feedback pertaining toJapanese investigator-initiated studypre-IND meeting briefing package in which the FDA stated that we are not required to perform any additional preclinical or toxicology studies.

Currently, we plan to investigate the use of ECCI-50 Cell Therapy186RNL in men with stress urinary incontinence, or SUI, following prostatic surgery for prostate cancer or benign prostatic hypertrophy, called ADRESU, received approval to begin enrollment from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, or MHLW. In October 2017, the ADRESU trial had over 75% enrolled. The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development, or AMED, has provided partial funding for the ADRESU trial.

We are developing DCCT-10 Cell Therapy for thermal burns under a contract from the Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority, or BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In April 2017, we received approval of an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to conduct a pilot clinical trial, RELIEF (Safety and Feasibility of Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) in the Treatment of Deep Partial Thickness and Full Thickness Thermal Wounds), of DCCT-10 administered intravenously in up to 30 patients with thermal burn injuries at up to 10 U.S. institutions. In May 2017, we announced BARDA’s exercise of Option 2 of up to approximately $13.4 million to fund RELIEF. We anticipate initiation of RELIEF in 2017 and 1st patient treated in the first half of 2018.

In addition to our targeted therapeutic development, we have continued to commercialize our CCT technology under select medical device approvals, clearances and registrations to customers in Europe, Japan and other regions. These customers are a mix of research customers evaluating new therapeutic applications of CCT and commercial customers, including our licensing partners, distributors, and end user hospitals, clinics and physicians, that use our Celution System mostly for treatment of patients in private pay procedures. In Japan, our largest commercial market, we gained increased utilization of our products in the private pay marketplace in 2016 due to several factors, including increased clarity around the November 2014 Regenerative Medicine Law (implemented in November 2015 as it relates to regenerative medicine products like CCT) and we project that our sales of consumable sets and market presence in Japan will continue to grow in 2017.  The sale of Celution devices, procedure sets, and ancillary products contribute a margin that partially offsets our operating expenses and will continue to play a role in fostering familiarity within the medical community with our technology. It also provides us with valuable product and customer feedback.

Scleroderma

Scleroderma2 pediatric brain cancers. High-grade glioma (HGG) is a rare, and chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as an autoimmune rheumatic disorder. An estimated 300,000 Americans have scleroderma, about one-third of whom have the systemic formfast-growing CNS tumor that forms in glial cells of the disease, known as systemic sclerosis, or SSc. SScbrain and spinal cord. It can be found almost anywhere within the CNS, but is further sub-classified as diffuse cutaneousmost commonly within the supratentorium in children ages 15-19. HGG tumors in children act differently from those in adults, causing headaches, seizures, and limited cutaneous SSc. Diffuse subset tends to produce more severe manifestationsdifficulty achieving developmental milestones depending on the tumor location. Approximately 360-400 children are diagnosed with significant hand dysfunction and internal organ involvement. Diffuse scleroderma accounts for between one third and one half of all cases of systemic sclerosis. Women are affected four times more frequently than menHGG annually in North America and the condition5-year survival rate is typically detected betweenapproximately 20%. In contrast to HGG, ependymoma is a rare, slow- or fast-growing (depending on the ages of 30grade) primary CNS tumor that forms in ependymal cells in the brain and 50. More than 90% of sclerodermaspinal cord—and may spread throughout the CNS, though infrequently. All ependymomas can recur, but patients are afflictedoften tumor-free for years before testing shows tumor regrowth, either at the initial tumor site or elsewhere within the CNS. Symptoms depend on tumor location and size, usually including irritability, sleeplessness, vomiting, nausea, back pain, arm/leg weakness, and headaches.

Approximately 250 children are diagnosed with hand involvement that is typically progressive and can result in chronic pain, blood flow changes and severe dysfunction. A small number of treatments are occasionally used off-label for hand scleroderma, but they do little to modify disease progression or substantially improve symptoms with some challenging side-effects. Current treatment options are directed at protecting the hands from injury and detrimental environmental conditions as well as the use of vasodilators.  When the disease is advanced, prostanoids, Endothelin-1 receptor antagonists, and immunosuppressants may be used but are often accompanied by side effects.  If these medications are unsuccessful, health providers may perform a sympathectomy to remove nerves to increase blood flow and decrease long-term pain.

SCLERADEC-I is a completed, investigator-initiated, 12-patient, open-label, Phase I pilot trial sponsored by Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille, or AP-HM, in Marseille, France. The SCLERADEC-I trial received partial support from Cytori. The six-month results were publishedependymoma annually in the AnnalsU.S. while 71% of children with Grade II and 57% with

Grade III survive 5 years from diagnosis.

Based on the Rheumatic Diseasesaggregate preclinical and clinical work completed to date in May 2014adult recurrent glioblastoma, we hypothesize that 186RNL may offer potential clinical benefit for PBCs, such as high-grade glioma and demonstrated approximatelyependymoma. We intend to submit an IND application to the FDA for 186RNL for the treatment of PBC (high-grade glioma and ependymoma) in late 2022 or early 2023.

Rhenium-188 NanoLiposome Biodegradable Alginate Microsphere Technology

In January 2022, we announced that we licensed BAM patents and technology from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (“UT Health Science Center at San Antonio”) to expand our tumor targeting capabilities and precision radiotherapeutics pipeline. We intend to combine our Rhenium NanoLiposome technology with the BAM technology to create a 50 percent improvement at six months across four importantnovel radioembolization technology. Initially, we intend to utilize the Rhenium-188 isotope, 188RNL-BAM for the intra-arterial embolization and validated endpoints usedlocal delivery of a high dose of targeted radiation for a variety of solid organ cancers such as hepatocellular cancer, hepatic metastases, pancreatic cancer and many others.

Preclinical data from an ex vivo embolization experiment in which Technetium-99m-BAM was intra-arterially delivered to assess the clinical status in patients with scleroderma with impaired hand function. Two-year follow up data in the SCLERADEC-I triala bovine kidney perfusion model was presented at the Systemic Sclerosis World Congress in February 2016recent 2021 Society of Interventional Radiology (“SIR”) Annual Scientific Meeting. The study concluded that the technology required for radiolabeling BAM could successfully deliver, embolize and publishedretain radiation in the journal Current Researchtarget organ. 188RNL-BAM is a preclinical investigational drug we intend to further develop and move into clinical trials. Specifically, in Translational Medicine in November 20162022, we intend to transfer the 188RNL-BAM technology from UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, fabricate and demonstrated sustained improvement inscale the following four key endpoints: CHFS, SHAQ, RCS,drug product, and hand pain, as assessed bycomplete certain preclinical studies to support a standard visual analogue scale.future FDA IND submission. Our likely initial clinical target is liver cancer which is the 6th most common and 3rd deadliest cancer worldwide. It is a rare disease with increasing U.S. annual incidence (42,000) and deaths (30,000).

Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Medidata

On March 31, 2022, we released top-line results for three-year follow-upentered into a Statement of Work (the “SOW”) with Medidata Solutions, Inc. (“Medidata”), pursuant to which Medidata will build a Synthetic Control Arm® (SCA) platform that facilitates the use of historical clinical data showing sustained benefits materially consistent with those shown in two-year data.

In 2014, Drs. Guy Magalon and Brigitte Granel, underto incorporate into the sponsorship of AP-HM, submitted a study for review for a follow-up

17


randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in France using Cytori Cell Therapy, partially supported by Cytori. The trial, named SCLERADEC II, received approval from the French government in April 2015. Enrollment of this trial commenced in October 2015 and is ongoing. The trial is currently approaching 75% enrollment and we expect enrollment to be completed in 2017, approximately one year later than originally projected, due to delays in French regulatory approvals of participating sites. Patients will be followed at six-month post-treatment and compared with placebo treated patients.  Pending the six-month results patients in the placebo group will be eligible for crossover using Habeo cells stored at the time of the initial procedure. This crossover arm will open after all patients have completed six-month follow up.

Based on the results of the SCLERADEC-I trial, we initiated the US-based STAR trial. The STAR trial was a 48-week, 19 site, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled pivotalCompany’s Phase 2 clinical trial of 88 patients186RNL in GBM.  

The SOW has a term of six (6) months.  We will pay Medidata $1.45 million in managed services fees and a contingent managed services fee of $150,000 if the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approves a path forward for us to use the treatment of impaired hand functionSCA in scleroderma. The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a single administration of Habeo Cell Therapy in patients with scleroderma affecting the hands and fingers. The STAR trial uses the Cochin Hand Function Scale, or CHFS, a validated measure of hand function, as the primary endpoint measured at 24 weeks and 48 weeks (approximately 6 and 12 months) after a single administration of Habeo Cell Therapy or placebo. Of the 88 patients enrolled in STAR, 51 had diffuse cutaneous scleroderma while 37 had the limited form of the disease.

On July 24, 2017, we announced top-line, preliminary data from the STAR trial. While the primary and secondary endpoints did not reach statistical significance at 24 or 48 weeks, the trial data reported clinically meaningful improvement in the primary and secondary endpoints of both hand function and scleroderma-associated functional disability for Habeo treated patients compared to placebo, in the subgroup of patients with diffuse cutaneous scleroderma. The Company plans to release a more detailed assessment of STAR trial data at the World Scleroderma Congress in February 2018.

In November 2016, the US FDA Office of Orphan Products Development granted Cytori an orphan drug designation for cryopreserved or centrally processed ECCS-50 (Habeo) for scleroderma. In April 2016, the European Commission, acting on the positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products, issued orphan drug designation to a broad range of Cytori Cell Therapy formulations when used for the treatment of systemic sclerosis under Community Register of Orphan Medicinal Products number EU/3/16/1643.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a disease of the entire joint involving the cartilage, joint lining, ligaments and underlying bone. The breakdown of tissue leads to pain, joint stiffness and reduced function. It is the most common form of arthritis and affects an estimated 13.9% of US adults over the age of 25, and 33.6% of U.S. adults over the age of 65. Current treatments include physical therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, viscosupplement injections, and total knee replacement. A substantial medical need exists as present medications have limited efficacy and joint replacement is a relatively definitive treatment for those with the most advanced disease.

ACT-OA, was a 94-patient, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study involving two doses of Cytori Cell Therapy, a low dose and a high dose, and was conducted over 48 weeks. The randomization was 1:1:1 between the control, low and high dose groups. The trial was completed in June 2015. The goal of this proof-of-concept trial was to help determine: (1) safety and feasibility of the ECCO-50 therapeutic for osteoarthritis, (2) provide dosing guidance and (3) explore key trial endpoints useful for a Phase III trial.

We completed top-line analysis of the final 48-week data in July 2016.  A total of 94 patients were randomized (33 placebo, 30 low dose ECCO-50, 31 high dose ECCO-50). In general, a clear difference between low and high dose ECCO-50 was not observed and therefore the data for both groups have been combined.  We evaluated numerous endpoints that can be summarized as follows:

Intra-articular application of a single dose of ECCO-50 is feasible in an outpatient day-surgery setting; no serious adverse events were reported related to the fat harvest, cell injection or to the cell therapy.

Consistent trends were observed in most secondary endpoints at 12, 24 and 48 weeks in the target knee of the treated group relative to placebo control group; 12-week primary endpoint of single pain on walking question did not achieve statistical significance.

Consistent trends were observed in all six pre-specified MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) classification scores suggesting a lower degree of target knee joint pathological worsening at 48 weeks for the treated group relative to placebo control group. The differences against placebo favored ADRCs, some parameters achieving statistical significance, specifically in the number of bone marrow lesions, the percentage of the bone marrow lesion that is not a cyst, the size of the bone marrow lesions as a percentage of the total sub-region volume, percentage of full thickness cartilage loss, cartilage loss as a percentage of cartilage surface area and the size of the largest osteophyte.

In summary, the ACT-OA Phase II trial demonstrated feasibility of same day fat harvesting, cell processing and intra-articular administration of autologous ADRCs (ECCO-50) with a potential for a beneficial effect of ECCO-50. The accumulated data and experienced gained will be critical in considering designs of further clinical trials in osteoarthritis and other potential indications.  In

addition, we are actively pursuing partnering and commercialization opportunities for ECCO-50 to further develop our knee osteoarthritis program and also to support our growing commercial sales into the knee osteoarthritis market in Japan.  

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Another therapeutic target under evaluation by Cytori led by the University of Nagoya and three other sites and partially supported by the Japanese MHLW, is stress urinary incontinence in men following surgical removal of the prostate gland, which is based on positive data reported in a peer reviewed journal resulting from the use of ADRCs prepared by our Celution System. The ADRESU trial is a 45 patient, investigator-initiated, open-label, multi-center, single arm trial that was approved by the Japanese MHLW in July 2015 and is being led by both Momokazu Gotoh, MD, Ph.D., Professor and Chairman of the Department of Urology and Tokunori Yamamoto, MD, Ph.D., Associate Professor Department of Urology at University of Nagoya Graduate School of Medicine. Trial enrollment began in September 2015, and in October 2017, the trial is over 75% enrolled. Full enrollment is expected by the end of 2017 with top-line results available in late 2018. This clinical trial is primarily sponsored and funded by the Japanese government, including a grant provided by AMED.

Cutaneous and Soft Tissue Thermal and Radiation Injuries

We are also developing Cytori Cell Therapy, or DCCT-10, for the treatment of thermal burns. In the third quarter of 2012, we were awarded a contract by BARDA valued at up to $106 million to develop a medical countermeasure for thermal burns. The total award under the BARDA contract has been intended to support all clinical, preclinical, regulatory and technology development activities needed to complete the FDA approval process for use of DCCT-10 in thermal burn injury under a device-based pre-market authorization, or PMA, regulatory pathway and to provide preclinical data in burn complicated by radiation exposure.

Pursuant to this contract, BARDA initially awarded us approximately $4.7 million over the initial two-year base period to fund preclinical research and continued development of our Celution System to improve cell processing. In August 2014, BARDA determined that Cytori had completed the objectives of the initial phase of the contract, and exercised its first contract option in the amount of approximately $12 million. In December 2014 and September 2016, BARDA exercised additional contract options pursuant to which it provided us with $2.0 million and $2.5 million in supplemental funds, respectively. These additional funds supported continuation of our research, regulatory, clinical and other activities required for submission of an IDE request to the FDA for RELIEF, a pilot clinical trial using DCCT-10 for the treatment of thermal burns. In April 2017, we received approval of an IDE from the FDA to conduct a pilot clinical trial of CCT in patients186RNL for treatment of GBM.  The SOW may only be terminated for a material breach by either party or if the clinical study’s authorization or approval is withdrawn by a regulatory agency.

UT Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSA) License Agreement

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with thermal burn injuries. This trial is referred to as the RELIEF clinical trial. In May 2017, we announced BARDA’s exercise of Option 2 of up to approximately $13.4 million to fund RELIEF.

In accordance with the terms of the Amendments, BARDA will provide us with reimbursement of costs incurred, plus payment of a fixed fee, in the aggregate amount of up to approximately $13.4 million, or the Funding Amount.  We are responsible for further costs in excess of the Funding Amount, if any, to meet the objectives of the Pilot Trial. The Amendments also extend the term of the BARDA Agreement and the period of performance of Option 2 of the BARDA Agreement to November 30, 2020.  

Cytori Nanomedicine

In February 2017, we completed our acquisition of the assets of Azaya Therapeutics, Inc., or Azaya, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2017.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we acquired equipment and certain intellectual property including a portfolio of investigational therapies and related assets, and assumed certain liabilities, from Azaya in exchangeUT Health Science Center at San Antonio for the issuance of 1,173,241 of shares of our common stock in the amount of $2.3 million, assumption of approximately $1.8 million in Azaya’s payables, and the obligation to pay Azaya future milestones, earn-outs and licensing fees. The acquisition of Azaya brought two additional product candidates, ATI-0918 and ATI-1123, into the Cytori pipeline and we intendglobal rights to develop and potentially commercialize both, most likely in conjunction188RNL-BAM.  Under the license agreement with aUT Health Science Center at San Antonio, we are required to use commercial reasonable efforts to develop the 188RNL-BAM product candidate acquired under the license agreement. Further, we are subject to future milestone, earn-out and or commercial partner.other payments to UT Health Science Center at San Antonio all of which are tied to our commercialization and sale activities for product candidates.  

Recent Financings

ATI-0918 is a complex generic formulation of the market-leading oncology drug, DOXIL®/CAELYX®, which is a pegylated liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin and approved in the U.S. for ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, and Kaposi’s Sarcoma; and in the European Union for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, and Kaposi’s Sarcoma. The current approval pathway for ATI-0918 is to leverage existing bioequivalence data to CAELYX® for approval in the EU and to demonstrate bioequivalence to Lipodox® in the U.S.  A study to demonstrate ATI-0918’s bioequivalence to CAELYX®, for purposes of EMA approval, has been completed and we intend for these data to serve as the basis for our submission of a marketing authorization application for ATI-0918Refer to the EMA. We are also making plans to perform a bioequivalence study of ATI-0918 to the U.S. Reference Standard, or RS, to serve as the basis“Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for submission of an ANDA for U.S. FDA approval. We currently anticipate that any U.S. bioequivalence trial for ATI-0918 would be funded by a development partner or licensee.

ATI-1123 is a novel liposomal formulation of docetaxel. Generic forms of docetaxel are currently FDA approved and marketed for

19


non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and hormone refractory prostate cancer.  Its side effects include hair loss, bone marrow suppression, and allergic reactions. There is currently no form of liposomal docetaxel approved or commercially available. There is a protein (albumin) bound form of a similar chemotherapeutic drug, paclitaxel known as Abraxane®, which demonstrated some clinical advantages to paclitaxel. ATI-1123 has shown promising results in preclinical animal models that suggest it may have superior qualities to docetaxel, including actions against some tumor types that are not amenable to treatment by docetaxel. A Phase I study of ATI-1123 has been completed in late stage refractory patients and has shown some activity in several tumor types (mostly stable disease). We are currently evaluating clinical scenarios to bring into Phase II studies in several indications, including small cell lung cancer, and potential development partnerships.information on our recent financings.

 

Results of Operations

Product revenues

Product revenues consisted of revenues primarily from the sale of Cytori Cell Therapy-related products.

We experienced a decrease of $0.3 million and $1.2 million in product revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in the three-month period is due to lower sales in Japan of $0.3 million. The decrease in the nine-month period is primarily due to lower sales in the Americas of $0.4 million and Japan of $0.5 million. The lower sales in Japan for the three and nine months periods is primarily due to lack of Celution device sales, offset by an increase in Celution consumable utilization. 

The future:  We expect to continue to generate a majority of product revenues from the sale of Cytori Cell Therapy-related products to researchers, clinicians, and distributors in all regions. In Japan and EMEA, researchers will use our technology in ongoing and new investigator-initiated and funded studies focused on, but not limited to, hand scleroderma, Crohn’s disease, peripheral artery disease, erectile dysfunction, and diabetic foot ulcers.  Habeo Cell Therapy for hand scleroderma will continue to be accessible to patients and physicians through a managed access program, or MAP. We announced in mid-June of 2017 that we ended our MAP agreement with IDIS (initiated in 2016) and partnered with a new vendor, myTomorrows, with expanded geographical coverage for MAP, including Europe, Middle East and Latin America (excluding Chile). myTomorrows is an innovative and fully integrated organization dedicated to providing fully compliant early access to innovative therapeutics in advance of the products full marketing authorization in the countries that it serves.

Cost of product revenues

Cost of product revenues relate primarily to Cytori Cell Therapy-related products and includes material, manufacturing labor, and overhead costs, as well as amortization of intangible assets. The following table summarizes the components of our cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

The future: We expect to continue to see variation in our gross profit margin as the product mix, distributor and direct sales mix and geographic mix comprising revenues fluctuate. We are investigating various pricing options for our cellular therapeutics, which may help to increase our gross profit margins in 2017 and beyond.

Development revenues

Under our government contract with BARDA, we recognized a total of $1.3 million and $2.9 million in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 which included allowable fees as well as cost reimbursements.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $1.2 million and $2.7 million in qualified expenditures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized revenue of $1.9 million and $5.2 million and incurred $1.7 million and $4.8 million in qualified expenditures, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is primarily due to slight decreases in research and development activities related to BARDA.

The future: We entered into an amendment with BARDA in May 2017 for the initiation of the RELIEF pilot clinical trial of DCCT-10 in thermal burn injury. The amendment extends the term of the BARDA Agreement and the period of performance of Option 2 of the BARDA Agreement to November 30, 2020.

The decreaseincreases in share-basedour stock-based compensation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 iswas primarily related to a lower annual grant activity caused by reductions in headcount and due to the declineincreases in the stock price during 2017grants of stock-based options as compared to the same period in 2016, and its corresponding impact on share-based compensation.

The future:  We expect to continue to grant options and stock awards (which will result in an expense) to our employees, directors, and,well as appropriate, to non-employee service providers. In addition, previously-granted options will continue to vest in accordance with their original terms. Ashigher grant-date fair value of September 30, 2017, the total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and stock awards not yet recognized for all our plans is approximately $1.3 million which is expected to be recognized as a result of vesting under service conditions over a weighted average period of 1.58 years.

In process research and development acquired from Azaya Therapeutics

In February 2017, we entered into an agreement to acquire assets, including in process research and development (“IPR&D”) related to two oncology drug product candidates, from Azaya Therapeutics. In connection with this agreement, we recorded an IPR&D charge

Interest

The decrease in interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 as compared to the same periodperiods in 2016,2021 was primarily due to the repayment of debt principal payments made on our debt from January through August 2017.

The changesof $0.3 million in other income2021 and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 resulted primarily from changes in exchange rates related to transactions in foreign currency.first quarter of 2022.

The future:We expect interest expense in 20172022 to decrease as compared with 2021 due to the decrease in thescheduled debt principal balance of the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2015, or the Loan and Security Agreement, with Oxford Finance LLC, or Oxford.repayments which commenced on November 1, 2021.

We incurred net losses of $4.8 million and $18.4 million forFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $5.4 million and $17.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  We have an accumulated deficit of $397.5 million as of September 30, 2017.  Additionally, we have used net cash of $13.9 million and $15.4 million to fund our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Further, the Loan and Security Agreement, with Oxford Finance, LCC (“Oxford”), as amended and further described in Note 5, requires us to maintain a minimum of $1.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand to avoid an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement. Based on our cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $4.8 million at September 30, 2017, we estimate that we must raise additional capital and/or obtain a waiver or restructure the Loan and Security Agreement to avoid defaulting under our $1.5 million minimum cash/cash equivalents covenant.

On September 1, 2017, the Company announced a substantial corporate restructuring intended to significantly reduce expenses while maintaining its ability to execute on its BARDA-sponsored cell therapy program, Japanese business and oncology program. The restructuring reduced Cytori’s workforce by approximately 50% and significantly reduced the Company’s operational cash burn.

To date, theseperiods presented, operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital includingin our recently completed underwritten public offering,common stock. We believe that our Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement (“Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”)cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million at March 31, 2022 will enable us to fund our current and planned operations for at least the 2016 Rights Offering (each defined below), our at-the-market (“ATM”) equity facility,next twelve months and beyond from the Loan and Security Agreement and gross profits.  date these condensed financial statements were issued.

We have had, and we will likely continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our future clinical development programs and other operations. Our inability to raise additional cash would have a material and adverse impact on operations and would cause us to default on our loan.

On December 22, 2016,2020, we entered into the Lincoln Park2020 Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park and Lincoln Park is obligatedcommitted to purchase up to $20.0$25.0 million in amounts of our common stock. During 2021, we issued 5,685,186 shares of our common stock overunder the 30-month period commencing on2020 Purchase Agreement for total proceeds of $12.5 million. During the date that a registration statement, thatthree months ended March 31, 2022, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in December 2016. We may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 100,000issued 5,665,000 shares of common stock onfor net proceeds of approximately $7.0 million under the 2020 Purchase Agreement. We no longer have any business day but in no event will the amount of a single Regular Purchase exceed $1.0 million. The purchase price ofadditional shares of common stock relatedregistered to sell under the Regular Purchases will be based on the prevailing market prices of such shares2020 Purchase Agreement, and at thethis time of sales. Our sales ofwe do not intend to register any additional shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park2020 Purchase Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for common stock under a Regular Purchase or an accelerated purchase and in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln Park on a day our closing price is less than the floor price of $0.50 per share as set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. On December 22, 2016, we issued to Lincoln Park 127,419 shares of common stock as commitment shares in consideration for entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Through September 30, 2017, we sold a total of 1,490,937 shares under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. We will issue up to an additional 279,258 shares of common stock on a pro rata basis to Lincoln Park only as and when shares are sold under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement to Lincoln Park. 

Pursuant to this securities transaction and related equity issuance, as well as anticipated gross profits and potential outside sources of capital, we believe we have sufficient cash to fund operations through at least the first quarter of 2018.

We continue to seek additional capital through product revenues, strategic transactions including extension opportunities under the awarded BARDA contract, and from other financing alternatives. However, there can be no assurance thatWithout additional capital, current working capital and cash generated from sales will not provide adequate funding for research and product development activities at their current levels. If sufficient capital is not raised, we will be successful in securing additional resources when needed, on terms acceptableat a minimum need to ussignificantly reduce or at all. Therefore, there exists substantial doubt aboutcurtail our research and development and other operations, and this would negatively affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

On April 11, 2017, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) relatingachieve corporate growth goals. There may be continued market volatility due to the issuance and sale of 8.6 million shares ofpandemic, downturn in global economy, or other events, which could cause our common stock par value $0.001 per share. The price to the publicdecline. This in this offering is $1.10 per share. Maxim agreedturn will likely negatively impact our ability to purchase the shares from us pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $1.0395 per share. The net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $8.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering closed on April 17, 2017. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement,raise funds through equity-related financings.

Should we granted Maxim a 45-day option to purchase up to 944,000 additional shares of common stock. On May 31, 2017, Maxim exercised their overallotment option and purchased 849,000 shares at $1.10 per share. The net proceeds to us were $0.8 million, after deducting underwriting costs and offering expenses payable by us.

Our inabilitybe unable to raise additional cash willfrom outside sources or if we are unable to do so in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms, it would have a material adverse impact on operations and will cause us to default on our loan.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.

Material Cash Obligations

On March 31, 2022, we entered into the SOW with Medidata pursuant to which Medidata will build a Synthetic Control Arm® (SCA) platform that facilitates the use of historical clinical data to incorporate into the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial of 186RNL in GBM.  

During the six month term of the SOW, we will pay Medidata $1.45 million in managed services fees. Further, if the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approves a path forward for us to use the SCA in its clinical trial of 186RNL for treatment of GBM, we will pay Medidata an additional contingent managed services fee of $150,000.  

We are also obligated to make ongoing principal and interest payments under the Term Loan with Oxford through the maturity date of June 1, 2024 (See Note 5 of the accompanying condensed financial statements for more information). In addition, as described in more detail in Note 7 of the accompanying condensed financial statements, we are obligated to make operating lease payments for our office and laboratory space and we may be required to make payments under certain of our other contractual agreements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and that affect our recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

While our estimates are based on assumptions we consider reasonable at the time they were made, our actual results may differ from our estimates, perhaps significantly.  If results differ materially from our estimates, we will make adjustments to our financial statements prospectively as we become aware of the necessity for an adjustment.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. We perform our impairment test annually during the fourth quarter. We operate in a single operating segment and reporting unit. We monitor the fluctuations in our share price and have experienced significant volatility during the year.

We estimate the fair value of liability classified warrants using an option pricing model.  Following the authoritative accounting guidance, warrants with potential cash settlement outside control of the Company are accounted for as liabilities, with changes in the fair value included in operating expenses.

We believe it is important for you to understand our most critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies and estimates remain consistent with those reportedare discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  2021 and there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of September 30, 2017, there have been no material changes in our market risks from those described in Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure“disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filedthat we file or furnishedfurnish pursuant to the Exchange Act 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 Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any

25


controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we have been involved in routine litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. As of September 30, 2017,On June 22, 2021, we were notnamed as a partydefendant in an action brought by Lorem Vascular, Pte. Ltd. (“Lorem”) in the District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges false representations were made to any material legal proceeding.  Lorem regarding the manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom (the “UK Facility”) that Lorem purchased from us under the Equity Purchase Agreement, dated March 29, 2019, between us and Lorem (the “Lorem Agreement”). Lorem also claims that false representations were made regarding the UK Facility’s certification to sell and distribute devices in the European Union and export such devices to China. In connection with these allegations, Lorem claims entitlement to at least $6,000,000 in compensatory damages and operational costs and expenses (collectively, the “Lorem Claim”). We believe that the Lorem Claim is without merit and we are vigorously defending the case.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

OurFor a discussion of certain factors that could materially affect our business, is subjectfinancial condition, and operating results or that could cause actual results to various risks, including thosediffer materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in addition to the information in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully review and consider the information under “Part I, Item 1A “Risk1A- Risk Factors” ofin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with2021. There have been no material changes to the SEC on March 24, 2017, which we strongly encourage you to review with all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this report before you decide to invest in our common stock. In addition to those risk factors we identified the following new risks or substantive changes from the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the risks describedincluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our Quarterly Reports, or discussed below actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and our future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Under these circumstances, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. 

We could be delisted from Nasdaq, which could seriously harm the liquidity of our stock and our ability to raise capital.

Following notice from Nasdaq staff in June 2015 and December 2015, we had a hearing in January 2016 relating to our noncompliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement.  The Nasdaq Hearing Panel granted us until May 31, 2016 to come into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, including requirements relating to obtaining stockholders approval of a reverse stock split that would bring our stock price above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.  We transferred the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market in February 2016.  In May 2016, we consummated a 1-for-15 reverse stock split pursuant to which the minimum bid price per share of our common stock rose above $1.00.  Pursuant to a letter dated May 26, 2016, the Nasdaq staff delivered notice to us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule.

On September 5, 2017, we received notice from Nasdaq staff relating to our noncompliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been granted a 180 calendar day compliance period, or until March 5, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. During the compliance period, our shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day compliance period.

If we are not in compliance by March 5, 2018, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, we will be required to notify Nasdaq of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify us that our securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, we may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to delist our securities, but there can be no assurance the Nasdaq staff would grant our request for continued listing.

If we cease to be eligible to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market:

We may have to pursue trading on a less recognized or accepted market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets.”

The trading price of our common stock could suffer, including an increased spread between the “bid” and “asked” prices quoted by market makers.

Shares of our common stock could be less liquid and marketable, thereby reducing the ability of stockholders to purchase or sell our shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically.  If our stock is traded as a “penny stock,” transactions in our stock would be more difficult and cumbersome.

We may be unable to access capital on favorable terms or at all, as companies trading on alternative markets may be viewed as less attractive investments with higher associated risks, such that existing or prospective institutional investors may be less interested in, or prohibited from, investing in our common stock.  This may also cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Our success depends in large part upon the successful development and commercialization of our cellular therapeutics, especially Habeo Cell Therapy for hand impairment in patients with scleroderma.  The U.S. STAR clinical trial assessed the safety and efficacy of Habeo Cell Therapy and failed to achieve its primary and secondary endpoints. While we are continuing to assess the top-line data from the trial, we may be unable to identify a viable path forward for continued development of this product candidate, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.    

Our success in large part is dependent upon our ability to develop our CCT products, and in particular, our lead product candidate, Habeo Cell Therapy (“Habeo”). In July 2017, we announced top-line results from our U.S. STAR clinical trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of Habeo for hand impairment in patients with scleroderma. In this trial, Habeo did not achieve its primary endpoint of improvement in hand dysfunction, compared to placebo, as measured by the Cochin Hand Function Score, or CHFS, at twenty-four (24) and forty-eight (48) weeks, nor did it achieve its secondary endpoints of improvement in the Raynaud’s Condition Score, or RCS, and the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire, or SHAQ, at forty-eight (48) weeks, compared to placebo. The Company does not believe that this STAR clinical data is sufficient to submit a pre-market approval, or PMA, application for Habeo to the FDA for hand impairment in patients with scleroderma.

Analysis of the STAR data indicated that within a pre-specified subgroup analysis, Habeo-treated patients within the diffuse cutaneous scleroderma subset indicated improvements in the CHFS and the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, or HAQ-DI (a measure of functional disability), that met or exceeded the published criteria for minimally important clinical differences in these measures as compared to STAR patients with diffuse cutaneous scleroderma within the placebo group.  However, these differences may not be deemed sufficient to continue development of Habeo. Thorough analysis of our STAR data may result in the determination that there is not a viable plan for continued development of Habeo. Further, anticipated discussions with the FDA and with other regulatory authorities regarding our STAR data and Habeo may be unsuccessful or may result in imposition of onerous requirements should we pursue further development of this therapy. Even if we desire to design further trials and continue to pursue a path toward potential regulatory approval of Habeo, any such development will likely require significant financial and personnel resources. We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to fund such further trials, and any such trials, if funded, may fail to yield positive results. Further, the failure to achieve our primary or secondary endpoints in the STAR trial will likely have an adverse effect on our current commercial sales of our cellular therapeutics, on the development and implementation of our EMEA managed access program, our and our partners’ efforts to develop, commercialize and sell our cellular therapeutics, and on our efforts to find additional partners to develop and commercialize our cellular therapeutic product candidates.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to further develop Habeo. Our continuing analyses of data from the STAR trial may produce negative or inconclusive results, or may be inconsistent with our previously announced top-line results. Because our cell therapy business is in substantial part dependent on the success of Habeo, if we are unable to identify, fund and ultimately execute an alternative development strategy for this product candidate or our other cell therapy candidates, we may be required to reduce or curtail our cell therapy activities, which would materially and adversely affect our business and operations, and could require us to liquidate, dissolve or otherwise wind down our operations.  Further, if we decide to sell or otherwise dispose of our cell therapy platform, we may be unable to identify a suitable acquirer, or may be unable to negotiate and consummate a transaction on terms acceptable to us.

If we are unable to successfully partner with other companies to commercialize our product candidates, our business could materially suffer.

A key part of our business strategy is to leverage strategic partnerships/collaborations to commercialize our product candidates.  We do not have the financial, human or other resources necessary to develop, commercialize, launch or sell our therapeutic offerings in all of the geographies that we are targeting, and thus it is important that we identify and partner with third parties who possess the necessary resources to bring our products to market.  We expect that any such partners will provide regulatory and

27


reimbursement/pricing expertise, sales and marketing resources, and other expertise and resources vital to the success of our product offerings in their territories.  We further expect, but cannot guarantee, that any such partnering arrangements will include upfront cash payments to us in return for the rights to develop, manufacture, and/or sell our products in specified territories, as well as downstream revenues in the form of milestone payments and royalties.  year ended December 31, 2021.

We are currently prioritizing our efforts to find a strategic partner for our Habeo.  For various reasons, including the preliminary top-line data from our STAR clinical trial announced in July 2017 and the novelty of our cellular therapeutic approach, the regulatory and reimbursement environments for Habeo in certain markets, including Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, are complex and uncertain. There can be no assurance that regulatory agencies or authorities in the U.S., Europe, the Asia-Pacific region or elsewhere will grant conditional or full regulatory approval for Habeo on the timeframes we anticipate, or at all, nor can we guarantee that government or commercial payers will grant us favorable reimbursement for use of Habeo. In fact, we anticipate that our preliminary top-line STAR data will result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts for Habeo, or cause us to abandon or materially alter our regulatory approval strategies for Habeo.  Further, even if we receive regulatory approval and favorable reimbursement, there is no guarantee that a market will develop for Habeo at our intended price points, or at all. These commercialization risks could affect prospective partners’ or collaborators’ willingness to enter into partnering arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  Prospective partners may be unwilling to enter into Habeo collaboration/partnering agreements with us in light of our top-line STAR clinical trial data.  We anticipate that it will be difficult to find a commercialization partner for Habeo on favorable terms, if at all.  Further, if data from the currently enrolling French investigator-initiated SCLERADEC-II trial are not positive, or if the trial is discontinued prior to receipt of data, the regulatory and commercial hurdles for Habeo will further increase, especially in the EU.

We are also prioritizing our efforts to find a strategic partner to help commercialize and sell our ATI-0918 drug candidate, initially in Europe, the U.S., and China, and secondarily, to fund development and commercialization of our ATI-1123 product candidate. We do not currently have the commercial resources to market and sell either ATI-0918 or ATI-1123.  There can be no assurance that we will enter into partnering agreements for either ATI-0918 or ATI-1123 with suitable partners on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  At present, we do not intend to expend significant resources on development of ATI-1123.  However, regardless of whether we enter into a partnering agreement for ATI-0918, we will still incur significant costs and expenses related to manufacturing, testing validation, and regulatory and clinical work necessary to support a generic drug application submission to EMA.  If we cannot find a suitable partner for our ATI-0918 product candidate, our business could be significantly harmed.

We may also solicit partnering interest in our ECCO-50 Cell Therapy for use in knee osteoarthritis, but we anticipate that our partnering efforts with respect to this indication will be subordinate to our Habeo Cell Therapy and ATI-0918 partnering efforts. Further, while consistent trends were observed in most secondary endpoints relative to the placebo group in our ACT-OA knee osteoarthritis trial, the 12-week endpoint of single pain on walking question did not achieve statistical significance, so there can be no assurance that our partnering efforts for our ECCS-50 therapeutics will be successful.  

In addition, we may seek development and/or commercial partners for the other therapeutic indications set forth in our clinical pipeline, including use of ECCI-50 Cell Therapy in stress urinary incontinence, or SUI, in men following surgical removal of the prostate gland (this therapeutic indication is currently the subject of a Phase III, investigator-initiated trial in Japan, called ADRESU).

There can be no assurance that this male SUI pipeline indication will be attractive to prospective partners. The male SUI market is small (approximately $45.0 million).  We anticipate that the failure to achieve the primary and secondary endpoints in our STAR trial could materially hamper our efforts to identify prospective cell therapy partners or to negotiate cell therapy partnering transactions on terms favorable to us, or at all.    

Even if we succeed in securing partners for our lead or other product candidates, our partners may fail to develop or effectively commercialize our product candidates. Partnerships and collaborations involving our products and product candidates pose a number of risks, including the following:

partners may not have sufficient resources or may decide not to devote the necessary resources due to internal constraints such as budget limitations, lack of human resources, or a change in strategic focus;

partners may believe our intellectual property is not valid or is unenforceable or unprotectable, or the product or product candidate infringes on the intellectual property rights of others;

partners may dispute their responsibility to conduct development and commercialization activities pursuant to the applicable collaboration, including the payment of related costs or the division of any revenues;

partners may decide to pursue a competitive product developed outside of the partnering arrangement;

2823


partners may not be able to obtain, or believe they cannot obtain, the necessary regulatory approvals or reimbursement rates for the product candidates; and

partners may decide to terminate or not to renew their agreement with us for these reasons or other reasons.

As a result, partnering agreements may not lead to development or commercialization of our lead product candidates or other product candidates in the most efficient manner or at all.

We will need substantial additional funding to develop our products and for our future operations. If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary to do so, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our product development activities or may be unable to continue our business.

We have had, and we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to continue funding our operations to profitability, including our continuing substantial research and development expenses. We do not currently believe that our cash balance and the revenues from our operations will be sufficient to fund the development and marketing efforts required to reach profitability without raising additional capital from accessible sources of financing in the near future.  Although it is difficult to predict future liquidity requirements, we believe that our $4.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2017 will be sufficient to fund our currently contemplated operations at least through the first quarter of 2018.  Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

our ability to raise capital to fund our operations on terms acceptable to us, or at all;

our perceived capital needs with respect to development of our CCT and Cytori Nanomedicines development programs, and any delays in, adverse events of, and excessive costs of such programs beyond what we currently anticipate;

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative and other arrangements with third parties to assist in bringing our products to market and the cost of such arrangements at the time;

costs associated with the integration and operation of our newly acquired Cytori Nanomedicine business, including hiring of as many as 20 or more new employees to operate the Cytori Nanomedicine business, and costs of validation, requalification and recommencement of the Cytori Nanomedicine manufacturing operations at our San Antonio, Texas facility;

the cost of manufacturing our product candidates, including compliance with good manufacturing practices, or GMP, applicable to our product candidates;

expenses related to the establishment of sales and marketing capabilities for product candidates awaiting approval or products that have been approved;

the level of our sales and marketing expenses;

competing technological and market developments; and

our ability to introduce and sell new products.

We have secured capital historically from grant revenues, collaboration proceeds, and debt and equity offerings. We will need to secure substantial additional capital to fund our future operations. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  Our ability to raise capital was adversely affected when the FDA put a hold on our ATHENA cardiac trials in mid-2014, which had an adverse impact to stock price performance and our corresponding ability to restructure our debt.  Subsequently, a continued downward trend in our stock price resulting from a number of factors, including (i) general economic and industry conditions, (ii) challenges faced by the regenerative medicine industry as a whole, (iii) the market’s unfavorable view of certain of our recent equity financings conducted in 2014 and 2015 (which financings were priced at a discount to market and included 100% warrant coverage), (iv) market concerns regarding our continued need for capital (and the effects of any future capital raising transactions we may consummate), (v) market perceptions of our ATHENA and ACT-OA clinical trial data, and (vi) our recent Nasdaq listing deficiency issues and resultant 1-for-15 reverse stock split, made it more difficult to procure additional capital on terms reasonably acceptable to us.  Most recently, the release in July 2017 of the top-line data from our STAR trial, in which we announced the failure to achieve the trial’s primary and secondary endpoints, resulted in a further substantial decrease in our stock price.  Though our recent acquisition of the Cytori Nanomedicine business from Azaya Therapeutics, including our ATI-0918 and ATI-1123 drug candidates, appear to have been viewed favorably by our investors and the marketplace, we cannot assure you that this acquisition will not ultimately be viewed negatively and thus further hamper our efforts to attract additional capital. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise any such additional capital, we may be required to take actions that could materially and adversely harm our business,

including a possible significant reduction in our research, development and administrative operations (including reduction of our employee base), surrendering of our rights to some technologies or product opportunities, delaying of our clinical trials or regulatory and reimbursement efforts, or curtailing of or even ceasing operations.    

Our financing plans include pursuing additional cash through use of our at-the-market, or ATM, offering program, strategic corporate partnerships, licensing and sales of equity. In November 2017, we commenced a public offering in which we distributed to holders of our common stock, at no charge, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to 10,000 units, each consisting of one share of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,250 warrants to purchase one share of our common stock, at a subscription price of $1,000 per unit (the “2017 Rights Offering”). Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into 2,500 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment.  Sales of the units in the 2017 Rights Offering, if any, will be made under our registration statement on Form S-1, filed on August 14, 2017. The 2017 Rights Offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis and there is no minimum amount of proceeds necessary to be received in order for us to close the offering.  However, we cannot provide any assurances that we will sell any of the units offered in the 2017 Rights Offering.

In addition, in December 2016, we entered into a purchase agreement, or the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, pursuant to which we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $20.0 million in shares of our common stock from time to time over a 30-month period, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.  While we have an established history of raising capital through these platforms, and we are currently involved in negotiations with multiple parties, there is no guarantee that adequate funds will be available when needed from additional debt or equity financing, development and commercialization partnerships or from other sources or on terms acceptable to us.  In addition, under current SEC regulations, at any time during which the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or public float, is less than $75.0 million, the amount we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any twelve-month period using shelf registration statements, including sales under our ATM offering program, is limited to an aggregate of one-third of our public float. As of September 30, 2017, our public float was 34.5 million shares, the value of which was $12.6 million based upon the closing price of our common stock of $0.37 on such date. The value of one-third of our public float calculated on the same basis was approximately $4.2 million.

Further, our Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance, LLC, or Oxford, as amended, requires us to maintain a minimum of $1.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand to avoid an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement. Based on our cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $4.8 million at September 30, 2017, we estimate that we must raise additional capital and/or obtain a waiver or restructure the Loan and Security Agreement to avoid defaulting under our $1.5 million minimum cash/cash equivalents covenant. If we are unable to avoid an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, our business could be severely harmed.

In addition to the funding sources previously mentioned, we continue to seek additional capital through product revenues and state and federal development programs, including additional funding opportunities though our current BARDA contract.

We may be or become the target of securities litigation, which is costly and time-consuming to defend.

In the past, following periods of market volatility in the price of a company’s securities, the reporting of unfavorable news or continued decline in a company’s stock price, security holders have often instituted class action litigation. The market value of our securities has steadily declined over the past several years for a variety of reasons, including the announcement of the results of our STAR clinical trial in July 2017, and for other reasons discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, which heightens our litigation risk.  If we face such litigation, we could incur substantial legal costs and our management’s attention could be diverted from the operation of our business, causing our business to suffer.  Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.
