NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.

Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 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 consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at December 31, 2018, 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 Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., and our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2019.

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Reverse Stock Split

On May 23, 2018, following stockholder and Board approval, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to (i) effectuate a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, without any change to its par value, and (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 75 million to 100 million shares (which amount is not otherwise affected by the Reverse Stock Split). The Amendment became effective on the filing date. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (x) issued and outstanding  decreased from approximately 61.6 million shares (as of May 23, 2018) to approximately 6.2 million  shares; (y) reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased from approximately 23.4 million shares to approximately 2.3 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 9.1 million common shares to approximately 0.9 million common shares. The Company’s 5,000,000 shares of authorized Preferred Stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. 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.

Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases . Under this new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. This guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The new standard is effective for annual reporti ng periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted . The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, electing the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2019 the Company’s right-of-use assets and liabilities were $2.2 million, respectively, associated with its operating leases. See Note 8 for further discussion on leases.

2.

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.  Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, reviewing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense, valuing warrants, measuring expense related to our in-process research and development acquisition, and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves.

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

We incurred net losses of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  We have an accumulated deficit of $417.5 million as of March 31, 2019.  Additionally, we used net cash of $3.3 million to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Further, the Loan and Security Agreement (defined in Note 4), with Oxford Finance, LCC (“Oxford”), as further described in Note 4, requires maintenance of a minimum of $2.0 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 $3.9 million at March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that it will need to raise additional capital and/or obtain a waiver or restructure the Loan and Security Agreement in the near term to avoid defaulting under its $2.0 million minimum cash/cash equivalents covenant.

To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital including our recently completed 2018 Rights Offering (defined in Note 3 below), our Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement (defined in Note 11) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), 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 would have a material and adverse impact on operations and would cause us to default on our loan.

On June 1, 2018, we entered into a Sales Agreement with B. Riley FBR, Inc. (“B. Riley FBR”) to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $6.5 million from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program (the “ATM program”) under which B. Riley FBR will act as sales agent. Through March 31, 2019, we have sold a total of 11.0 million shares for proceeds of approximately $3.8 million through the ATM program. See Note 11 for further discussion on the ATM program.

On July 25, 2018, we closed a rights offering originally filed under a Form S-1 registration statement in April 2018 (“2018 Rights Offering”). Pursuant to the 2018 Rights Offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,723 units consisting of a total of 6,723 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, immediately convertible into approximately 8.4 million shares of common stock and 7,059,150 warrants, with each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7986 per share, resulting in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.7 million.

On August 28, 2018, 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 prior 30 consecutive business days, we no longer meet the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until February 25, 2019, in which to regain compliance.  We were granted an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 26, 2019, in which to regain compliance after meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and providing notice to Nasdaq staff of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must have been at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day period.

On September 21, 2018, Cytori entered into a purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement, with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $5.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 24-month period following October 15, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Through December 31, 2018, the Company sold a total of 0.6 million shares for proceeds of approximately $0.3 million through the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and no shares were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019. See Note 11 for further discussion on the Lincoln Park Agreement.

We continue to seek additional capital through product revenues, strategic transactions, including extension opportunities under our awarded U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) contract, and from other financing alternatives. Without additional capital, current working capital and cash generated from sales w ill not provide adequate funding for research, sales and marketing efforts and product development activities at their current levels. If sufficient capital is not raised, we will at a minimum need to significantly reduce or curtail our research and develo pment and other operations, and this would negatively affect our ability to achieve corporate growth goals.

On April 24, 2019 the Company received $3.4 million of net cash proceeds related to the sale of the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cytori Ltd., and the Company’s Cell Therapy assets (excluding such assets used in Japan or relating to the Company’s contract with BARDA), of which $1.7 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees on the Loan and Security Agreement, and on April 25, 2019 the Company received $2.5 million of net cash proceeds related to the sale of the Cytori Therapeutics, K.K., and substantially all of the Company’s Cell Therapy assets used in Japan, of which $1.4 million was used to pay down principal, interests and fees on the Loan and Security Agreement (See Note 12).

Should we be unable to raise additional cash from outside sources, this would have a material adverse impact on our operations.

The accompanying consolidated condensed 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.

Term Loan Obligations

On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2015, with Oxford (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which it funded an aggregate principal amount of $17.7 million (“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 three-month LIBOR rate with a floor of 1.00% plus 7.95%.  Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, we were previously required to make interest only payments through June 1, 2016 and thereafter we were required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments sufficient to amortize the Term Loan through June 1, 2019, 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 are required to make a final payment in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $1.1 million. In connection with the Term Loan, on May 29, 2015, we issued to Oxford warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,444 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $103.50 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.

On September 20, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan, pursuant to which, among other things, Oxford agreed to reduce the minimum liquidity covenant level originally at $5 million to $1.5 million.  The amendment also extended the interest-only period under the Loan and Security Agreement through August 1, 2018, as the Company successfully closed on a financing and received unrestricted net cash proceeds in excess of $5 million on or before December 29, 2017.

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Oxford. The Second Amendment extends the interest-only period under the Term Loan to December 1, 2018 if the Company receives unrestricted gross cash proceeds of at least $15 million from the sale and issuance of the Company’s equity securities on or before August 31, 2018. The Company agreed to pay Oxford an amendment fee of $250,000 at the earlier of maturity or acceleration of the loan.

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Oxford. The Third Amendment extends the interest-only period under the Term Loan to December 31, 2018 and also requires that the Company pay to Oxford, in accordance with its pro rata share of the loans, 75% of all proceeds received (i) from the issuance and sale of unsecured subordinated convertible debt, (ii) in connection with a joint venture, collaboration or other partnering transaction, (iii) in connection with any licenses, (iv) from dividends (other than non-cash dividends from wholly owned subsidiaries) and (v) from the sale of any assets (such requirement, the “Prepayment Requirement”).  The Prepayment Requirement does not apply to proceeds from the sale and issuance of the Company’s equity securities, other than convertible debt.  The Prepayment Requirement shall apply until an aggregate principle amount of $7.0 million has been paid pursuant to the Prepayment Requirement.  However, if less than $7.0 million has been paid pursuant to the Prepayment Requirement on December 31, 2018 then the Company is required to promptly make additional payments until an aggregate principal amount of

9


$7.0 million has been paid. The Company agreed to pay Oxford an amendment fee of $50,000 at the earlier of maturity or acceleration of the loan.

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Oxford. Oxford agreed to extend the maturity date from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020.  The Fourth Amendment increased the minimum liquidity covenant level from $1.5 million to $2.0 million and extended the interest-only period under the Loan and Security Agreement to March 1, 2019. The Fourth Amendment also required that the Company achieve one of the following by January 31, 2019: enter into an asset sale agreement with a minimum unrestricted net cash proceeds to the Company of $4.0 million; enter into a binding agreement for the issuance and sale of its equity securities or unsecured convertible subordinated debt which would result in unrestricted gross cash proceeds of not less than $7.5 million; or enter into a merger agreement pursuant to which the obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement would be paid down to a level satisfactory to Oxford. The Company agreed to pay Oxford an amendment fee of $350,000 at the earlier of maturity or acceleration of the loan.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into a fifth amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Term Loan primarily to extend the January 31, 2019 obligations under the Fourth Amendment to February 28, 2019. On March 4, 2019, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Term Loan primarily to extend the Fifth Amendment obligations to March 29, 2019. On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Term Loan, pursuant to which, among other things, Oxford agreed to interest only payments starting May 1, 2019, with amortization payments resuming on May 1, 2020. See Note 12 for further discussion on the Seventh Amendment.

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 certain liquidity level when the total principal outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement is less than $3 million. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the debt covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement.

Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method, therefore it is inclusive of non-cash amortization in the amount of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , related to the amortization of the debt discount, capitalized loan costs, and accretion of final payment.

The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, contains customary indemnification obligations and customary events of default, including, among other things, our 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 our 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 us or a declaration of material adverse change by our lender, under the Term Loan, the lender would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which we may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the Term Loan, which could materially harm our financial condition. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Term Loan and have not received any notification or indication from Oxford 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 is presented as 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.

Revenue Reco gnition

Product Sales

Our revenue is generated primarily from the sale of products. Product revenue primarily consists of sales of Celution devices and consumables for commercial and research purposes.

The Company’s contracts with customers only include one performance obligation (i.e., sale of the Company’s products). Typically, if there are multiple items included on a single order, they are delivered at the same time. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when delivery is completed and control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The Company’s contracts do not involve financing elements as payment terms with customers are less than one year. The sale arrangements do not include any variable consideration. Advance payments from customers are recorded as deferred revenue.

Shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the goods are considered part of the Company’s obligation to transfer the products and therefore are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred.

Concentration of Significant Customers

Two direct customers accounted for 57% of our revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 .  Two direct customers accounted for 61% of total outstanding accounts receivable (excluding receivables from BARDA) as of March 31, 2019 .

Four direct customers comprised 66% of our revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2018 .  Three direct customers, two distributors and one licensee accounted for 75% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2018 .

Development Revenue

We earn revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with governmental agencies like BARDA which is outside of the scope of the new revenue recognition guidance. Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contracts 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. We recognized $0.7 million in development revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

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 to outstanding but unexercised options, multiple series of preferred stock, and warrants for all periods presented.

We have excluded all potentially dilutive securities from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 13.6 million as of March 31, 2019, which includes 8.9 million outstanding warrants and 0.1 million options, 4.6 million shares of preferred stock, and restricted stock awards. Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were 2.3 million as of March 31, 2018 .

Commitments

Leases

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.

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 financing leases are recorded within property and equipment, net in the Balance Sheet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Balance Sheet. Instead, the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In connection with certain operating leases, the Company has security deposits recorded and maintained as restricted cash totaling $0.4 million as of March 31, 2019.

The Company leases office and storage facilities and equipment under various operating and financing lease agreements. The initial terms of these leases range from 2 to 11 years and 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.

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.

Other commitments

We have entered into agreements with various research organizations for pre-clinical and clinical development studies, which have provisions for cancellation. Under the terms of these agreements, the vendors provide a variety of services including conducting research, recruiting and enrolling patients, monitoring studies and data analysis. Payments under these agreements typically include fees for services and reimbursement of expenses. The timing of payments due under these agreements is estimated based on current study progress. As of March 31, 2019 , we have clinical research study obligations of $2.5 million, $1.8 million of which is expected to be paid within a year.  Should the timing of the clinical trials change, the timing of the payment of these obligations would also change.

We were party to an agreement with Roche Diagnostics Corporation (“Roche”) which required us to make certain product purchase minimums. On June 8, 2018, the Company received written notice from Roche terminating its existing supply agreement with the Company due to failure by the Company to meet minimum purchase requirements. Roche has indicated to the Company that it will agree to negotiate in good faith with the Company with respect to a new supply agreement for enzymes with specifications similar to the enzymes that Roche was previously manufacturing for the Company.

Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to legal proceedings.  Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions.  Management assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate.  Management believes that any liability to us that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations as a whole.

On August 31, 2018, we filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California, against Bimini Technologies LLC (“Bimini”) for fraud and breach of a Sale and Exclusive License/Supply Agreement made in 2013 under which Bimini licensed rights to the Company’s Standalone Fat Transplantation, including the Puregraft Product Line and associated trademarks.  Our arbitration demand alleges that Bimini failed to make a $1.0 million milestone payment due to the Company after Bimini achieved $10.0 million in gross profits from the sale of the Company’s Puregraft product line, and Bimini deceived the Company about Bimini’s true gross profits figures.  Our arbitration demand seeks that $1.0 million milestone payment, as well prejudgment interest and attorneys’ fees.  On October 29, 2018 Bimini made the $1.0 million milestone payment. The parties subsequently entered into a settlement agreement resolving the claims in the Demand for Arbitration.

 

10.

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, 2019 , and as of December 31, 2018, 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, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Further, based on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, we believe the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

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 changes in the fair value of liability classified warrants are included in net income (loss) for the respective periods.  Because some of the inputs to our 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.

Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to designate the terms and conditions of any preferred stock we issue without further action by the common stockholders. There were 13,500 shares of Series A 3.6% Convertible Preferred Stock, 10,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 6,723 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that had been issued at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no shares of Series A 3.6% Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of either date. There were 1,112 of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. There were 3,428 and 3,494 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

On July 25, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State creating a new series of its authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated as the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The number of shares initially constituting the Series C Preferred Stock was set at 7,000 shares. Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 originally filed on April 27, 2018, as amended, and became effective on July 17, 2018, and

related prospectus (as supplemented), the Company registered and distributed to holders of its common stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at no charge, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 20,000 units each consisting of one share of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,050 warrants for $1,000 per unit. Each warrant is exercisable for one share o f the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.7986 per share for 30 months from the date of issuance and each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,253 shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the 2018 Rights Offering, which closed on July 25, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,723 units, resulting in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.7 million.

The fair value of the common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible on the date of issuance exceeded the proceeds allocated to the preferred stock, resulting in the beneficial conversion feature that we recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders and, accordingly, an adjustment to net loss to arrive at net loss allocable to common stockholders.  We recorded a deemed dividend within additional paid-in capital of $2.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, related to a beneficial conversion feature included in the issuance of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

Based on the relevant authoritative accounting guidance, the warrants were liability classified at the issuance date. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company at $0.01 per warrant prior to their expiration if the Company’s common stock closes above $3.63 per share , subject to adjustment, for 20 consecutive trading days. The initial fair value of the liability associated with these warrants was $3.1 million, and the fair value decreased to $1.5 million as of March 31, 2019 . The main driver for the change in the fair value of warrants at September 30, 2018, was related to the change in our stock price. All future changes in the fair value of the warrants will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations until they are either exercised or expire.  The warrants are not traded in an active securities market, and as such the estimated the fair value as of March 31, 2019 was determined by using an option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected volatility was computed using daily pricing observations of traded shares of Cytori for recent periods that correspond to the expected term of the warrants. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. We currently have no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury bond rate as of the valuation date.

Common Stock

On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with B. Riley FBR to sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $6.5 million through its ATM program. Through March 31, 2019, the Company sold a total of 11.0 million shares for proceeds of approximately $3.8 million through the ATM program.

On September 21, 2018 , the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $5.0 million of shares, of the Company’s common stock, over the 24-month period following October 15, 2018. The Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock on any business day but in no event will the amount of a single Regular Purchase (as defined in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement) exceed $1.0 million. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to the Regular Purchases will be based on the prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales. The Company’s sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement are limited to the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of no more than 4.99% 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 under an accelerated purchase will shares be sold to Lincoln Park on a day the closing price of the Company’s common stock is less than the floor price of $0.25 per share as set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Through December 31, 2018, the Company sold a total of 0.6 million shares for proceeds of approximately $0.3 million through the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and no shares were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Subsequent Events

 

Sale of the UK Subsidiary and Certain Assets

On March 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset and Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Lorem Purchase Agreement”) with Lorem Vascular Pte . Ltd. (“Lorem”), pursuant to which, among other things, Lorem agreed to purchase the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cytori Ltd. (the “UK Subsidiary”), and the Company’s Cell Therapy assets, excluding such assets used in Japan or relating to the Company’s contract with BARDA . Both the Company and Lorem made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Lorem Purchase Agreement, which is subject to termination by either the Company or Lorem upon the occurrence of specified events.

The transaction was completed on April 24, 2019 and the Company received $4.0 million of cash proceeds, of which $1.7 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees under the Loan and Security Agreement .

 

Sale of the Japanese Subsidiary and Certain Assets

On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset and Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Shirahama Purchase Agreement”) with Seijirō Shirahama, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Shirahama agreed to purchase the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, Cytori Therapeutics, K.K. (the “Japanese Subsidiary”), and substantially all of the Company’s Cell Therapy assets used in Japan. Both the Company and Mr. Shirahama have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Shirahama Purchase Agreement, which is subject to termination by either the Company or Mr. Shirahama upon the occurrence of specified events.

The transaction was completed on April 25, 2019 and the Company received $3.0 million of cash proceeds, of which $1.4 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees under the Loan and Security Agreement .  

Accounting Assessment on the Sale of Assets

The sale of the UK and Japanese Subsidiaries and related assets did not meet the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2019 as management did not have the authorization to commit to the sale until approval was obtained from the Board of Directors and Oxford in April 2019. The Company expects to recognize a loss on the disposal during the second quarter of 2019 however the amount has not yet been determined. The Company also performed a probability weighted undiscounted impairment assessment as of March 31, 2019 resulting in the conclusion that no impairment of the net assets included in the disposal group was required to be recognized as of March 31, 2019.

Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement

On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into a seventh amendment, effective as of April 24, 2019 (the “Seventh Amendment”), to its existing Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford, pursuant to which, among other things, Oxford agreed to interest only payments starting May 1, 2019, with amortization payments resuming on May 1, 2020. The Seventh Amendment also requires that $1.7 million of the net proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the Lorem Purchase Agreement and $1.4 million of the net proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the Shirahama Purchase Agreement must be applied to prepay the loan. Additionally, the Seventh Amendment requires that the Company pay an amendment fee of $0.6 million at the earlier of the prepayment, maturity or acceleration of the loan.

Overview

Our objective is to build a profitable and growing specialty therapeutics company.  To meet this objective, we have acquired and are developing two technology platforms that hold promise for treating millions of patients and represent significant potential for increasing shareholder value. Our current corporate activities fall substantially into advancing these platforms: Cytori Nanomedicine and Cytori Cell Therapy.

 

17


The Cytori Nanomedicine platform features a versatile nanoparticle technology for drug encapsulation and deli very that has thus far provided the foundation to bring two drugs into mid/late stage clinical trials.  Nanoparticle encapsulation is a clinically proven technology and has been shown to help improve the pharmacokinetic properties of many drugs, thus poten tially enhancing the therapeutic profile and patient benefits.  Our lead oncology drug candidate, ATI-0918 is a generic version of Janssen’s Caelyx® pegylated liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer, multiple myelo ma, and Kaposi’s sarcoma.  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 criter ia for bioequivalence to Janssen’s 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 cu rrently evaluating our strategic options to bring ATI-0918 to the U.S., China, and other markets.  Our second oncology drug candidate is ATI-1123, which is a patented, albumin-stabilized liposomal encapsulated docetaxel. Docetaxel is a well-accepted and of ten used chemotherapeutic drug used for many cancers.  A Phase I clinical trial of ATI-1123 has been completed and published, and we are investigating possible expansion of this trial to Phase II, potentially in conjunction with a development partner. We r ecently received FDA orphan drug designation for ATI-1123 for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. 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 manufacture commercial quantities of our nanoparticle-encapsulated and -delivered drugs.

 

Cytori Cell Therapy, 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 in the treatment of numerous diseases and conditions. We have developed certain novel therapies prepared and administered at the patient’s bedside with proprietary technologies that include therapy-specific reusable, automated, standardized Celution devices, single-use Celution consumable sets, Celase reagent, and Intravase reagent.  Cytori Cell Therapy is in various stages of development and is the subject of investigator-initiated trials conducted by our partners, licensees and other third parties, some of which are supported by us and/or funded by government agencies and other funding sources. In March 2018, we announced a Japanese investigator-initiated study of ECCI-50 Cell Therapy in men with stress urinary incontinence, or SUI, following prostatic surgery for prostate cancer or benign prostatic hypertrophy, called ADRESU, completed enrollment of 45 patients. Patients will be followed up for one-year post treatment and data from the ADRESU trial is expected in the first half of 2019. The ADRESU trial costs are substantially supported by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development, or AMED, an independent administrative agency of the Government of Japan, with additional support from Cytori. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, we have initiated the clinical trial and expect to first treat patients in the RELIEF trial in 2019. On April 24, 2019 the Company completed the sale transaction of the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cytori Ltd., and the Company’s Cell Therapy assets, and on April 25, 2019 the Company completed the sale of the Cytori Therapeutics, K.K., and substantially all of the Company’s Cell Therapy assets used in Japan.

Results of Operations

Product revenues

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

The following table summarizes the components for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

The product revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 slightly decreased as compared to the same period in 2018 due to a decrease in product sales in Japan.

 

The future:   We expect revenue to decrease during the balance of 2019 due to the sale of our Cell Therapy business in April 2019.

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 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues was 93.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 79.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  Fluctuation in this percentage is due to our product mix, distributor and direct sales mix, geographic mix, foreign exchange rates, idle capacity, and allocation of overhead.

The future: We expect cost of product revenue to decrease during the balance of 2019 due to the sale of our Cell Therapy business in April 2019.

Development revenues

Under our government contract with BARDA, we recognized a total of $0.7 million in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 which included allowable fees as well as cost reimbursements.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $0.7 million in qualified expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized revenue of $0.9 million and incurred $0.8 million in qualified expenditures, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to slight decrease in research and development activities related to BARDA delays experienced in enrollments.

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 . We expect to begin enrollment of patients into the RELIEF trial by the end of the year.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses relate to the development of a technology platform that involves using adipose tissue as a source of autologous regenerative cells for therapeutic applications, oncology drug program expenses, as well as the continued development efforts related to our clinical trials.

Research and development expenses include costs associated with the design, development, testing and enhancement of our products, payment of regulatory fees, laboratory supplies, pre-clinical studies and clinical studies.

The following table summarizes the components of our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is due primarily to decreases of approximately $0.8 million for the three months period in clinical study expenses as well as a decrease of $0.2 million in salaries and benefits as a result of completion of enrollment in our U.S. STAR clinical trial enrolling in 2017, and decrease of $0.1 million in rent expenses, offset by an increase of $0.2 million for the three months period in professional services incurred as part of the RELIEF clinical trial and the ongoing efforts of ATI-0918 activities.

The future:   We expect aggregate research and development expenditures remain at current levels for the balance of 2019, as we work on clinical activities on the RELIEF clinical trial and our ongoing development efforts of ATI-0918 and ATI-1123.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses include costs of sales and marketing personnel, events and tradeshows, customer and sales representative education and training, primary and secondary market research, and product and service promotion. The following table summarizes the components of our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 due primarily to decreases of $0.1 million in salaries and benefits as well as of $0.1 million in professional services because of the decreased efforts of our commercial activities for Habeo.

The future:   We expect sales and marketing expenditures to decrease during the balance of 2019 due to the sale of our Cell Therapy business in April 2019, as well as we expect future expenses will be incurred only to support our Nanomedicine activities.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses include costs for administrative personnel, legal and other professional expenses, and general corporate expenses.  The following table summarizes the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease is primarily driven by one-time expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, which includes $0.6 million related to the termination of a Lease Agreement for office space for our corporate headquarters in San Diego, California. In addition, there was a decrease of $0.1 million in salaries and benefits as well as a decrease of $0.1 million in professional services, consistent with our ongoing cost curtailment efforts.

The future: We expect general and administrative expenditures to decrease during the balance of 2019 due to the sale of our Cell Therapy business in April 2019.

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense includes charges related to options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, directors and non-employees. We measure stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of any awards granted to our employees. Such expense is recognized over the requisite service period.

The following table summarizes the components of our share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

The decrease in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily related to a delayed annual grant to directors and officers, lower annual grant activity to remaining employees

20


caused by reductions in headcount and due to the decl ine in the stock price during 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, 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, as appropriate, to non-employee service providers. In addition, previously-granted options will continue to vest in accordance with their original terms. As of March 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and stock awards not yet recognized for all our plans is approximately $0.2 million which is expected to be recognized as a result of vesting under service conditions over a weighted average period of 1.40 years.

Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the inclusion of amendment fees added to our debt.

 

The changes in other income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 resulted primarily from changes in exchange rates related to transactions in foreign currencies.

 

Changes in fair value of our warrant liability are primarily due to fluctuations in the valuation inputs. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for disclosure and discussion of our warrant liability.

The future: We expect interest expense in 2019 to remain consistent for the balance of the year. In addition, regarding to the changes in fair value of warrants, there could be material fluctuations in the value of warrants in future periods because our stock price can be volatile . Future changes in the fair value of the warrant liability will be recognized in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire.

We incurred net losses of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  We have an accumulated deficit of $417.5 million as of March 31, 2019. Additionally, we used net cash of $3.3 million to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Further, the Loan and Security Agreement (defined in Note 4), with Oxford Finance, LCC (“Oxford”), as further described in Note 4, requires maintenance of a minimum of $2.0 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 $3.9 million at March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that it will need to raise additional capital and/or obtain a waiver or restructure the Loan and Security Agreement in the near term to avoid defaulting under its $2.0 million minimum cash/cash equivalents covenant.

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

2018 Rights Of fering (defined below), our Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement (defined below) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, the Loan and Security Agreement and gross profits.  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 June 1, 2018, we entered into a Sales Agreement with B. Riley FBR to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $6.5 million from time to time, through our ATM program under which B. Riley FBR will act as sales agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, B. Riley FBR will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares, based upon our instructions, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and rules of Nasdaq. We will set the parameters for sales of shares through the ATM program, including the number of shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in one trading day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made.  Under the Sales Agreement, B. Riley FBR may sell the shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering,” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We have no obligation to sell any shares and may at any time suspend offers and sales under the Sales Agreement. We and B. Riley FBR each have the right to terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon prior written notice as provided in the Sales Agreement.  We will pay to B. Riley FBR a commission, or allow a discount, in an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold through it as sales agent under the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed pursuant to the Sales Agreement to indemnify and provide contribution to B. Riley FBR against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act . Although sales of our common stock have taken place pursuant to our ATM program, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating future sales based on prevailing market conditions or in the quantities or at the prices that we deem appropriate.  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 program, is limited to an aggregate of one-third of our public float. As of March 31, 2019, our public float was approximately 21.9 million shares, the value of which was $5.7 million based upon the closing price of our common stock of $0.26 on such date. The value of one-third of our public float calculated on the same basis was approximately $1.9 million.

On July 25, 2018, we closed a rights offering originally filed under a Form S-1 registration statement in April 2018, or the 2018 Rights Offering. Pursuant to the 2018 Rights Offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,723 units consisting of a total of 6,723 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, immediately convertible into approximately 8.4 million shares of common stock and 7,059,150 warrants, with each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7986 per share, resulting in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.7 million.

On August 28, 2018, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the prior 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 February 25, 2019, in which to regain compliance. We were granted an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 26, 2019, in which to regain compliance after meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and providing notice to Nasdaq staff of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must have been at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day period .

On September 21, 2018, we entered into a 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 obligated to purchase up to $5.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 24-month period following October 15, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Through December 31, 2018, the Company sold a total of 0.6 million shares for proceeds of approximately $0.3 million through the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and no shares were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

We continue to seek additional capital through product revenues, strategic transactions, including extension opportunities under our awarded BARDA contract, and from other financing alternatives. Without additional capital, current working capital and cash generated from sales will not provide adequate funding for research, sales and marketing efforts and product development activities at their current levels. If sufficient capital is not raised, we will at a minimum need to significantly reduce or curtail our research and development and other operations, and this would negatively affect our ability to achieve corporate growth goals.

Should we be unable to raise additional cash from outside sources, this would have a material adverse impact on our operations.

The accompanying consolidated condensed 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.

As of March 31, 2019, the re have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business to the contractual obligations we reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except for the amendments to the Loan and Security Agreem ent.

 

On April 24, 2019 the Company received $3.4 million of net cash proceeds related to the sale of the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cytori Ltd., and the Company’s Cell Therapy assets, of which $1.7 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees on the Loan and Security Agreement and on April 25, 2019 the Company received $2.5 million of net cash proceeds related to the sale of the Cytori Therapeutics, K.K., and substantially all of the Company’s Cell Therapy assets used in Japan , of which $1.4 million was used to pay down principal , interest and fees on the Loan and Security Agreement.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.3 million compared to $4.1 million in the same period of 2018. Overall, our operational cash use decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, due primarily to a decrease in losses from operations (when adjusted for non-cash items) of $0.6 million and a working capital variance of $0.2 million.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were related to purchases of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily related to sales of common stock of $1.9 million, net of costs from sale primarily through our 2018 Rights Offering and ATM program.

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. The Company operates 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 believe it is important for you to understand our most critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and there have been no material changes, other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842 Leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of March 31, 2019, 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, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or furnished 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any 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 and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-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 and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective 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 March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
