Use of Estimates	'
	2	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of Consolidated Condensed 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.  Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts and inventories.
	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 Condensed Financial Statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

	3	Capital Availability
	We incurred net losses of $10,400,000 and $7,667,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  We have an accumulated deficit of $311,305,000 as of March 31, 2014.  Additionally, we have used net cash of $8,962,000 and $9,294,000 to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital and gross profits. During 2013 and 2014, we expanded our commercialization activities while simultaneously pursuing available financing sources to support operations and growth.
	We have been placing, and will continue to place, significant effort into raising additional capital that will provide adequate capital resources to allow us to continue to fund our future operations.   There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets.
	We believe our plans to raise additional cash from outside sources and, if necessary, our cost containment efforts are sufficient to allow us to continue operations for the next twelve months.  This includes minimum liquidity requirements of the Loan and Security Agreement that require us to make principal and interest payments of $868,000 per month beginning in August 2014 and maintain at least three months of cash on hand to avoid an event of default under the loan agreement.  If we are unable to raise additional capital as planned, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to avoid an event of default under the loan agreement during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  See Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Our level of indebtedness, and covenant restrictions under such indebtedness, could adversely affect our operations and liquidity” for additional information. Our financing plans include pursuing  additional cash through strategic corporate partnerships and possibly engaging in future sales of equity, as well as our gross profits. 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, increased results of operations, or from other sources, or on terms acceptable to us. If our efforts to obtain sufficient additional funds are not successful, we would be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our research or product development, manufacturing operations, administrative operations, including our employee base, and clinical or regulatory activities, which could negatively affect our ability to achieve certain corporate goals.
	The Company continues to seek additional capital through product revenues, strategic transactions, including extension opportunities under the awarded BARDA contract, and from other financing alternatives.

	Acquisition of Olympus’ Interest in the Joint Venture
	In 2005, we entered into a joint venture and other related agreements (the “Joint Venture Agreements”) with Olympus.  The Joint Venture was owned equally by Olympus and us.  We had previously accounted for our interests in the Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting, since we could not exert significant influence over the Joint Venture’s operations.
	On May 8, 2013, Cytori and Olympus agreed to terminate the Olympus-Cytori Joint Venture (Termination Agreement), and Cytori acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture from Olympus.  The termination of the relationship and purchase of  Olympus’ equity shares of the Joint Venture allows Cytori to regain full control of the manufacturing rights for the Celution ® system.  The purpose of the acquisition is to gain more flexibility on the manufacturing process and associated costs, enable higher margins, and speed the transition to the critical next-generation systems. In connection with the Termination Agreement, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and the Company’s previously held equity interest were recorded at fair value.  For valuation purposes Cytori determined the acquisition date (the date on which Cytori effectively gained full control of the equity interest previously held by Olympus) to be May 27, 2013.
	As consideration for the Termination Agreement, Cytori can choose from alternative payment options as defined in the Termination Agreement.  The payment options call for a minimum of $4,500,000 up to a maximum of $16,000,000 to be paid by Cytori to Olympus in installments over periods ranging from one year to six years depending on the option selected by the Company.  Installment payments will be calculated quarterly based on 5% of Cytori’s gross sales receipts for all products sold.  If Cytori receives an aggregate $35,000,000 in cash through strategic or financing arrangements during the first year of the Termination Agreement, Cytori will pay $4,500,000 upon request of Olympus as full and complete consideration under the Agreement.
	The fair value of the Joint Venture, including the identified intangible assets acquired, consideration transferred, and Cytori’s previously held equity interest, was estimated from a market participant perspective, using valuation techniques based on the income approach for measuring fair value.  Specifically, an excess earnings methodology was employed using primarily Level 3 fair value inputs.  The intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of contractual license rights that had previously enabled the Joint Venture to conduct development and manufacturing activities pertaining to certain aspects of Cytori’s Celution ® technology.  The useful life of the identifiable intangible assets was estimated based on the assumed future economic benefit expected to be received from the assets.  Inputs used in the valuation included various market participant assumptions in order to project potential future cash flows, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
			Useful Life			Estimated
			(in years)			Fair Value
	Intangible assets:
	Developed technology			7		$	9,394,000
	The Company calculated the fair value of the purchase consideration on the acquisition date to be $4,928,000.  This was determined using a weighted probability assessment of the payment options available to Cytori.  Present value risk-adjusted discount rates applied to the purchase consideration ranged from 9.75% to 12.75%.  The fair value calculation of the purchase consideration resulted in a discount of $1,072,000, which will be amortized to interest expense over a weighted average expected term of 1.8 years.  On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the probabilities of the various payment options and expected term.  Changes in the expected term and the remaining discount amount as a result of the reassessment will be recognized prospectively as an adjustment to interest expense. Upon final settlement of the purchase obligation, any difference between the amount paid and the carrying amount of the purchase obligation will be recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the liability. As a result of this reassessment as of March 31, 2014 the Company believed it would settle the obligation for a total of $4.5 million (less any installment payments already made), which will result in a gain of $0.6 million upon settlement. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had paid Olympus a total of approximately $2.6 million as part of the settlement option.
	As of May 8, 2014 the Company’s obligation to Olympus for settlement of the Joint Venture Termination Agreement increased by $1.5 million and we now owe Olympus approximately $3.4 million payable by May 8, 2015 (Payment Option Two). We are currently negotiating with Olympus to accelerate our payment and reduce the amount owed for Payment Option Two, however no assurances can be given that they will ultimately agree to such a compromise.
	There was no revenue or earnings from the Joint Venture included in our consolidated results subsequent to the date of acquisition.  Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, consolidated revenue would not have been affected, but our consolidated net loss would have been reduced by $48,000, the amount of our year to date equity loss from investment in Joint Venture.
	The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):
			Estimated
			Fair Value
	Current assets		$	236
	Property and equipment			260
	Intangible assets			9,394
	Total assets acquired			9,890
	Accrued and other current liabilities			(33	)
	Total fair value of the Joint Venture		$	9,857
	Acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as components of consideration transferred but have been accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.
	Put/Calls and Guarantees
	Prior to the termination of the Joint Venture the Shareholders’ Agreement between Cytori and Olympus provided that in certain specified circumstances of our insolvency or if we experienced a change in control, Olympus would have the rights to (i) repurchase our interests in the Joint Venture at the fair value of such interests or (ii) sell its own interests in the Joint Venture to Cytori (the “Put”) at the higher of (a) $22,000,000 or (b) the Put’s fair value.
	At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the Put was $2,250,000.  The Put, as a previously existing contractual relationship between Olympus and Cytori, was cancelled as a result of the Joint Venture termination in May 2013 and therefore its related fair value decreased to zero as a result of the termination.  Fluctuations in the Put value are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations as change in fair value of option liabilities.

	5	Partnership Agreement with Lorem Vascular
	On October 29, 2013, we entered into a partnership with Lorem Vascular, to commercialize Cytori Cell Therapy for the cardiovascular, renal and diabetes markets, in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia (License/Supply Agreement), and a Common Stock Purchase Agreement. On January 30, 2014 we entered into the Amended and Restated License/Supply Agreement with Lorem Vascular (the “Restated Agreement”) which restated the License/Supply Agreement in its entirety and expanded the licensed field to all uses excepting alopecia (hair loss). Under the Restated Agreement, Lorem Vascular committed to pay up to $500 million in license fees in the form of revenue milestones. In addition, Lorem is required to pay us 30% of their gross profits in China, Hong Kong and Malaysia for the term of the agreement. In addition, Lorem Vascular has agreed to purchase the Cytori Celution® System and consumables under the Restated Agreement.  Pursuant to the related Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Cytori sold Lorem Vascular 8 million shares of Cytori common stock at $3.00 per share for a total of $24 million. The Equity purchased was closed in two installments, the first half in November 2013, and the second half in January 2014.
	In addition, Lorem Vascular had initially committed to purchase approximately $7 million in Celution® devices and consumables, with an approximately $2 million order already placed, and an approximately $5 million order to be placed following regulatory approval in China.  Lorem and Cytori have implemented a regulatory plan for China and anticipate approval in 2014. In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the right to appoint one member of our Board of directors was granted to Mr. K.T. Lim, Chairman of Lorem Vascular. We expect Mr. Lim to appoint a member to serve on our Board of Directors at some point in 2014.

Long-term Debt	'
	6	Long-term Debt
	On June 28, 2013 we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank (together, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders funded an aggregate principal amount of $27.0 million (Term Loan), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the loan agreement.  The Term Loan accrues interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum.  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we are required to make interest only payments through July 1, 2014 and thereafter we are required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments sufficient to amortize the Term Loan through July 1, 2017, the maturity date. However, if we achieve a specified revenue threshold for the period of 12 months from the date of the loan agreement through June 30, 2014, the interest only period will be extended to February 1, 2015. All unpaid principal and interest with respect to the Term Loan is due and payable in full on July 1, 2017. At maturity of the Term Loan, or the earlier repayment in full following a voluntary prepayment or upon acceleration, the Company is required to make a final payment fee in an aggregate amount equal to $1,620,000.  In connection with the Term Loan, on June 28, 2013, we issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 596,553 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.26 per share.  These warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on June 28, 2020.
	In connection with the funding of the Loan Agreement, we prepaid all outstanding amounts under the prior loan agreement, at which time the Company’s obligations under the prior loan agreement immediately terminated. The Company paid to the prior agent and the prior lenders approximately $18,866,000, consisting of the then outstanding principal balance due of approximately $17,325,000, accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $119,000, a final payment fee (net of fees waived or refunded by the Lenders under the new loan agreement) of approximately $1,078,000, a prepayment fee (net of fees waived or refunded by the Lenders under the new loan agreement) of approximately $312,000 and other customary lender fees and expenses.
	The net proceeds of the Term Loan, after payment of lender fees and expenses and prepaying all the outstanding amounts relating to the prior loan agreement, were approximately $7.8 million.
	For the continuing Lenders, we accounted for this amendment as a debt modification.  Accordingly, related fees of $1,942,000 were recorded as debt discount, and along with the unamortized debt discount will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense using the effective interest method.  For one existing lender that did not participate in the Term Loan, the payoff of their loan was accounted for as debt extinguishment.  Accordingly, a loss on debt extinguishment of $708,000 was recorded, which includes that lender’s portion of unamortized fees and discounts along with prepayment and final payment fees.
	We allocated the aggregate proceeds of the Term Loan between the warrants and the debt obligations based on their relative fair values.  The fair value of the warrants issued to the Lenders was calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We are amortizing the resulting additional discount of $949,000 to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.  The overall effective interest rate for the Term Loan is 13.92%. The Term Loan is collateralized by the tangible assets of the company, including a security interest in substantially all of its existing and after-acquired assets.

Revenue Recognition

Product Sales

We recognize revenue from product sales when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue for sales to new customers as cash is received in order to minimize the risk of non-collection.

For all sales, we use a binding purchase order or a signed agreement as evidence of an arrangement.  If the other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue for these product sales is recognized upon delivery to the customer, as all risks and rewards of ownership have been substantively transferred to the customer at that point.  For sales to customers who arrange for and manage the shipping process, we recognize revenue upon shipment from our facilities. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to our customers are classified as revenue.  The customer’s obligation to pay and the payment terms are set at the time of delivery and are not dependent on the subsequent use or resale of our products. For sales where all revenue recognition criteria are not met, revenue is deferred and related inventory remains on our books.

For sales that include multiple deliverables, such as sales of our StemSource® Cell Bank (cell bank), we account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit.  StemSource® Cell Banks typically consist of a complex array of equipment, proprietary knowledge, license rights, and services, including one or more StemSource® devices, a cryogenic freezer, measuring and monitoring equipment, and a database patient tracking system. In addition, we typically provide consulting, installation, and training services.  Web hosting, technical support and maintenance services are generally provided for a period of up to one year subsequent to the date of sale.  FASB authoritative guidance requires an evaluation of these deliverables to determine the appropriate “units of accounting” for purposes of revenue recognition.  Each cell bank is customized to provide the best solution for the customer.  Depending on customers’ needs, all or combination of the following units of accounting will apply to cell bank transactions:

·

initial consulting services;

·

license rights and standard operating procedures;

·

equipment and supplies;

·

installation services;

·

training services;

·

database hosting services;

·

technical support services; and

FASB authoritative guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”); (b) third-party evidence (“TPE”); or (c) management estimates.  This guidance requires arrangement consideration to be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method.  For our cell bank sales, we establish relative selling prices for all deliverables based on vendor-specific quotes for comparable services when available.  In the absence of VSOE, we use competitors’ products or services considered largely interchangeable with our own or management’s best estimate.  Revenue allocated to each unit of accounting is calculated and recognized based on the relative selling price of each deliverable.  Future services such as web hosting and ongoing maintenance are deferred and recognized into income as the services are provided, generally over one year following the installation of the equipment.

Concentration of Significant Customers

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, ­­­­three distributors comprised 68% of our revenue recognized for the quarter.  Two distributors accounted for 70% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, ­­­­one distributor comprised 42% of our revenue recognized for the quarter.  Two direct customers, two distributors and a government agency accounted for 62% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2013.

Research and Development

We earn revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with both commercial enterprises, such as Olympus and Senko, and governmental agencies like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).  Revenue earned under development agreements is classified as either research grant or development revenues depending on the nature of the arrangement.  Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contract and other within development revenues.  Government contract revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the reimbursement.  The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expense in our statements of operations.

In the third quarter of 2012, we were awarded a contract to develop a new countermeasure for thermal burns valued at up to $106 million with BARDA. The initial base period includes $4.7 million over two years and covers preclinical research and continued development of Cytori’s Celution® system to improve cell processing. The additional contract options, if fully executed, cover clinical development through FDA approval under a device-based PMA regulatory pathway. This is a cost reimbursement contract and related government contract revenue was recorded at the gross amount of reimbursement starting in the fourth quarter of 2012.

We received funds from Olympus and Olympus-Cytori, Inc. during 2005 and 2006.   We recorded upfront fees totaling $28,311,000 as deferred revenues, related party.  In exchange for these proceeds, we agreed to (a) provide Olympus-Cytori, Inc. an exclusive and perpetual license to our Celution® System device technology and certain related intellectual property, and (b) provide future development contributions related to commercializing the Celution® System platform.  The license and development services were not separable and as a result the recognition of this deferred amount as revenue required achievement of service related milestones, under a proportional performance methodology.  Revenue was recognized as the above mentioned R&D milestones were completed. Of the amounts received and deferred, we recognized the last remaining development revenue of $638,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the United States Court of Appeals upholding the FDA’s previous determination that our cell processing devices were not substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices.  The recognition of revenue associated with this event reflects the completion of our efforts expended to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain device regulatory approvals in the United States as it pertains to the 510(k) pathway. As of March 31, 2014, there are no deferred amounts under this contract.

	Stock Options
	During the first quarter of 2014, we issued to our directors options to purchase an aggregate of 96,180 shares of our common stock, with two-year vesting. The grant date fair value of the awards granted to our officers was $1.75 per share for options with an exercise price of $2.57 (which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant). The resulting share-based compensation expense of $168,000, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods.
	During the first quarter of 2013, we issued to our executive officers and directors options to purchase an aggregate of 1,897,000 shares of our common stock, with four-year vesting for our officers and two-year vesting for our directors. The grant date fair value of the awards granted to our officers was $1.80 per share for options with an exercise price of $2.74 (which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant) and $1.49 per share for options with an exercise price of $5.00, respectively.  The grant date fair value of the awards granted to our directors was $1.84 per share for options with an exercise price of $2.80 (which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant). The resulting share-based compensation expense of $3,235,000, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods.
	During the first quarter of 2013, we issued a grant to our non-executive employees options to purchase an aggregate of 552,350 shares of our common stock, with four-year vesting. The grant date fair value of the awards was $1.92 per share and $1.64 per share, respectively, due to the awards being granted on two different dates. The resulting share-based compensation expense of $974,000, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods.
	Restricted Stock Awards
	During the first quarter of 2014, we issued to our directors 63,300 shares of restricted stock. The stock award vests on January 2, 2015 and the resulting share-based compensation expense of $162,700 will be recognized as expense over the vesting period.
	Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards
	In January 2012, we granted 276,375 performance-based restricted stock awards under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.  The awards provide certain employees until December 31, 2012 to achieve certain performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. In January 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed the employees performance against the performance goals and allowed only a portion of the awards to continue vesting based on partial achievement of the goals.  As a result of this decision, 86,229 shares with fair value of $2.74 per share will continue vesting under the terms of the grant.   Since we had not recognized any expense relating to these shares through December 31, 2012, additional compensation expense of $236,000 resulting from this grant modification was recognized from the modification date through the vesting date of January 2014.  We recognized $9,800 of compensation expense related to performance-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

	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 and warrants for all periods presented.
	We have excluded all potentially dilutive securities, including unvested performance-based restricted stock, from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.  Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 17,144,082 and 18,979,740 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	On July 30, 2013, we entered into a Sale and Exclusive License/Supply Agreement with Bimini Technologies LLC (“Bimini”), pursuant to which we sold to Bimini substantially all of the assets (other than certain retained rights and licenses) of our Puregraft® product line, a series of standalone fat transplantation products that were developed to improve the predictability of outcomes for autologous fat grafting and aesthetic body contouring. The aggregate value of the consideration paid by Bimini at the execution of the agreement was $5.0 million.
	In connection with the sale, Bimini granted to the Company an exclusive, perpetual, royalty bearing license to market and sell the Puregraft products for use in combination with adipose derived regenerative cells, and non-exclusive rights for use in connection with the Company’s licensed cell and tissue banks (in addition to certain Company retained ownership rights in the technology). The Company will supply Puregraft products to Bimini on an interim basis until the Company transfers the manufacturing of the Puregraft products to Bimini. After the transfer, Bimini will supply the Puregraft products to the Company.
	Pursuant to the sale agreement, the Company has also granted to Bimini the global, exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable royalty bearing license to purchase from Cytori, use and sell the Celution® System products for Alopecia (hair loss). Cytori will supply Celution devices and consumable sets to Bimini, and Bimini will be responsible for all costs associated with commercial development in the Alopecia market.
	The agreement includes certain obligations to be performed by the Company on the behalf of Bimini, which includes transferring the manufacturing of Puregraft products to an agreed upon third party on or before December 31, 2014 and training. The Company recorded a gain on the Puregraft divestiture of $4.5 million in 2013, and have a remaining obligation of approximately $388,000 in future transfer and training obligations, as of March 31, 2014. Bimini is obligated to make certain additional milestone payments to the Company (in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million), contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to Bimini’s gross profits from sales of the Puregraft products.

	In 2004, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Senko.  Under this agreement, we granted to Senko an exclusive license to sell and distribute certain Thin Film products in Japan and are responsible for the completion of the initial regulatory application to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and commercialization of the Thin Film product line in Japan.  The Distribution Agreement with Senko was to commence upon “commercialization.”  Essentially, commercialization occurs when one or more Thin Film product registrations are completed with the MHLW.  At the inception of this arrangement, we received a $1,500,000 license fee which was recorded as deferred revenues in 2004.  Half of the license fee was refundable if the parties agree commercialization is not achievable and a proportional amount was refundable if we terminate the arrangement, other than for material breach by Senko, before three years post-commercialization.  We have also received $1,250,000 in milestone payments from Senko.
	In February 2013, we entered into a mutual termination and release agreement with Senko, whereby the Distribution Agreement and all Senko rights, licenses and privileges granted under the Distribution Agreement terminated and reverted to the Company.  As a result of this Termination Agreement, we are obligated to pay Senko $1,200,000 in six quarterly installment payments of $200,000 each through May 2014.  At the time of the Termination Agreement, we had a balance of $2,379,000 in deferred revenues on our balance sheet relating to the payments received from Senko in the past pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.  At the time of the Termination Agreement we accrued $1,200,000 of the termination fee, and recognized the remaining $1,179,000 in development revenues which reflects the Company’s efforts towards commercialization under the agreement.
	During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our aggregate installment payments paid were $1,000,000.  As of March 31, 2014, we have a remaining termination fee obligation of $200,000.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	15	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.
	The following table provides a summary of the recognized assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis:
			Balance as of		Basis of Fair Value Measurements
			31-Mar-14		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Assets:
	Cash equivalents		$	9,644,000	$	9,644,000	$	—	$	—

	Assets:
	Cash equivalents		$	4,644,000	$	4,644,000	$	—	$	—
	We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds that are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

	Financial Instruments
	We disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data 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 and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	We utilize quoted market prices to estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt, when available.  If quoted market prices are not available, we calculate the fair value of our fixed rate debt based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to the debt.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt were as follows:
			31-Mar-14				31-Dec-13
			Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
	Fixed rate long-term debt		$	26,455,000	$	26,522,000	$	26,207,000	$	26,241,000
	Carrying value is net of debt discount of $2,098,000 and $2,379,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The fair value of debt is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as some of the inputs to our valuation model are either not observable quoted prices or are not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	In December 2012, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Lazard Capital Markets, LLC (underwriter), relating to the issuance and sale of 7,020,000 shares of our common stock.  The price to the public in this offering was $2.85 per share and the underwriter purchased the shares from us at a price of $2.69 per share.  The transaction was completed on December 19, 2012 raising approximately $20,007,000 in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, we granted the underwriter an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,053,000 shares.
	In January 2013, the underwriter exercised this option and as a result we sold an additional 1,053,000 shares raising approximately $3,001,000 in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.
	In October 2013, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Lorem Vascular for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares at $3.00 per share. The transaction occurred in two separate closings of 4,000,000 shares each. The first closing occurred in November 2013, and the second closing occurred in January 2014. As of December 31, 2013, we received $15,000,000 of the gross proceeds, $12,000,000 for the first closing and $3,000,000 towards the second closing. The balance of $9,000,000 in gross proceeds required to complete the second closing were received in January 2014. In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the right to appoint one member of our Board of directors was granted to Mr. K.T. Lim, Chairman of Lorem Vascular. We expect Mr. Lim to appoint a member to serve on our Board of Directors at some point in 2014.

	The preparation of Consolidated Condensed 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.  Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts and inventories.
	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 Condensed Financial Statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue Recognition

Product Sales

We recognize revenue from product sales when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue for sales to new customers as cash is received in order to minimize the risk of non-collection.

For all sales, we use a binding purchase order or a signed agreement as evidence of an arrangement.  If the other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue for these product sales is recognized upon delivery to the customer, as all risks and rewards of ownership have been substantively transferred to the customer at that point.  For sales to customers who arrange for and manage the shipping process, we recognize revenue upon shipment from our facilities. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to our customers are classified as revenue.  The customer’s obligation to pay and the payment terms are set at the time of delivery and are not dependent on the subsequent use or resale of our products. For sales where all revenue recognition criteria are not met, revenue is deferred and related inventory remains on our books.

For sales that include multiple deliverables, such as sales of our StemSource® Cell Bank (cell bank), we account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit.  StemSource® Cell Banks typically consist of a complex array of equipment, proprietary knowledge, license rights, and services, including one or more StemSource® devices, a cryogenic freezer, measuring and monitoring equipment, and a database patient tracking system. In addition, we typically provide consulting, installation, and training services.  Web hosting, technical support and maintenance services are generally provided for a period of up to one year subsequent to the date of sale.  FASB authoritative guidance requires an evaluation of these deliverables to determine the appropriate “units of accounting” for purposes of revenue recognition.  Each cell bank is customized to provide the best solution for the customer.  Depending on customers’ needs, all or combination of the following units of accounting will apply to cell bank transactions:



initial consulting services;



license rights and standard operating procedures;



equipment and supplies;



installation services;



training services;



database hosting services;



technical support services; and



maintenance services.

FASB authoritative guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”); (b) third-party evidence (“TPE”); or (c) management estimates.  This guidance requires arrangement consideration to be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method.  For our cell bank sales, we establish relative selling prices for all deliverables based on vendor-specific quotes for comparable services when available.  In the absence of VSOE, we use competitors’ products or services considered largely interchangeable with our own or management’s best estimate.  Revenue allocated to each unit of accounting is calculated and recognized based on the relative selling price of each deliverable.  Future services such as web hosting and ongoing maintenance are deferred and recognized into income as the services are provided, generally over one year following the installation of the equipment.

Concentration of Significant Customers

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, three distributors comprised 68% of our revenue recognized for the quarter.  Two distributors accounted for 70% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.

Research and Development

We earn revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with both commercial enterprises, such as Olympus and Senko, and governmental agencies like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).  Revenue earned under development agreements is classified as either research grant or development revenues depending on the nature of the arrangement.  Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contract and other within development revenues.  Government contract revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the reimbursement.  The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expense in our statements of operations.

In the third quarter of 2012, we were awarded a contract to develop a new countermeasure for thermal burns valued at up to $106 million with BARDA. The initial base period includes $4.7 million over two years and covers preclinical research and continued development of Cytori’s Celution® system to improve cell processing. The additional contract options, if fully executed, cover clinical development through FDA approval under a device-based PMA regulatory pathway. This is a cost reimbursement contract and related government contract revenue was recorded at the gross amount of reimbursement starting in the fourth quarter of 2012.

We received funds from Olympus and Olympus-Cytori, Inc. during 2005 and 2006.   We recorded upfront fees totaling $28,311,000 as deferred revenues, related party.  In exchange for these proceeds, we agreed to (a) provide Olympus-Cytori, Inc. an exclusive and perpetual license to our Celution® System device technology and certain related intellectual property, and (b) provide future development contributions related to commercializing the Celution® System platform.  The license and development services were not separable and as a result the recognition of this deferred amount as revenue required achievement of service related milestones, under a proportional performance methodology.  Revenue was recognized as the above mentioned R&D milestones were completed. Of the amounts received and deferred, we recognized the last remaining development revenue of $638,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the United States Court of Appeals upholding the FDA’s previous determination that our cell processing devices were not substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices.  The recognition of revenue associated with this event reflects the completion of our efforts expended to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain device regulatory approvals in the United States as it pertains to the 510(k) pathway. As of March 31, 2014, there are no deferred amounts under this contract.
