Our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, 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 (the Company) have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. 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, 2010.

Use of Estimates [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, evaluating goodwill for impairment, valuing our put option arrangement with Olympus Corporation, valuing warrants, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense, valuing our deferred tax assets, assessing how to report our investment in Olympus-Cytori, Inc., and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts and inventories.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Current economic conditions, including illiquid credit markets and volatile equity markets, contribute to the inherent uncertainty of such estimates. Management's estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

3. Capital Availability

We incurred net losses of $5,138,000 and $17,209,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and $5,377,000 and $7,827,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $227,207,000 as of June 30, 2011. Additionally, we have used net cash of $19,532,000 and $11,901,000 to fund our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. To date these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested or borrowed capital.

Management recognizes the need to generate positive cash flows in future periods and/or to obtain additional capital from various sources. In the continued absence of positive cash flows from operations, no assurance can be given that we can generate sufficient revenue to cover operating costs or that additional financing will be available to us and, if available, on terms acceptable to us in the future.

During 2011 and 2010, we expanded our commercialization activities while simultaneously pursuing available financing sources to support operations and growth. We have had, and we may continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our operations. If we cannot do so when required, we would need to reduce our research, development, and administrative operations, including reductions of our employee base, in order to offset lack of available funding. We continue to evaluate available financing opportunities as part of our normal course of business. See note 19 for additional information on capital raised subsequent to June 30, 2011.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

4. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to the revenue recognition topic of the Codification. The update addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The update 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance for revenue recognition to provide criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize as revenue, in its entirety, consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The guidance for milestone method of revenue recognition is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an update which provides guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance amends previous guidance on fair value measurements to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurement on a gross basis rather than on a net basis as previously required. This update also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activities of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Early application is permitted and, in the period of initial adoption, entities are not required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued an update to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify an award with such a feature as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. Affected entities are required to record a cumulative catch-up adjustment for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the annual period in which the guidance is adopted. This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Short-Term Investments

5. Short-Term Investments

We invest excess cash in money market funds, highly liquid debt instruments of financial institutions and corporations with strong credit ratings, and in United States government obligations. We have established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates. After considering current market conditions, and in order to minimize our risk, management has elected to invest all excess funds in money market funds and other highly liquid investments that are appropriately classified as cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for investments in financial assets, including marketable securities (debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values), investments accounted for under the equity method and cost method, securities borrowed and loaned, and repurchase and resale agreements. For marketable securities, the disclosure may include the entity's accounting treatment for transfers between investment categories and how the fair values for such securities are determined. Also, for all investments, an entity may describe its policy for assessing, recognizing and measuring impairment of the investment.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents [Abstract]

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

6. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held in a letter of credit account pursuant to a lease agreement entered into on April 2, 2010 for leasing of property at 3020 and 3030 Callan Road, San Diego, California. The lease agreement required us to execute a letter of credit for $350,000 naming the landlord as a beneficiary. The letter of credit was issued in July 2010 and required us to maintain $350,000 as restricted cash for the duration of the lease, which expires October 31, 2015.

Warrant Liability [Abstract]

Warrant Liability

7. Warrant Liability

We account for certain common stock purchase warrants with exercise price reset features in accordance with the applicable FASB guidance. Under this guidance, warrants with these reset features are accounted for as fair value liabilities, with changes in fair value now included in net earnings (loss).

The fair value of the liability associated with the warrants with this reset feature decreased to $2,809,000 as of June 30, 2011, which resulted in a $5,649,000 and $2,178,000 gain from the change in fair value of warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Since these warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, all future changes in the fair value of the warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. These warrants are not traded in an active securities market, and as such, we estimated the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

	As of June 30, 2011			As of December 31, 2010
Expected term	2.12 years			2.61 years
Common stock market price	$	4.79		$	5.19
Risk-free interest rate		0.45	%		0.82	%
Expected volatility		66.51	%		86.03	%
Resulting fair value (per warrant)	$	1.46		$	2.50

Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations 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 term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is the interest rate for treasury constant maturity instruments published by the Federal Reserve Board that is closest to the expected term of the warrants.

Long-term Debt [Abstract]

Long-term Debt

8. Long-term Debt

On June 11, 2010, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Oxford Finance Corporation (together, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million (Term Loan), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan. On June 14, 2010, the Lenders funded a Term Loan in the principal amount of $20.0 million. The Term Loan accrues interest at a fixed rate of 9.87% per annum. We are required to make monthly payments of interest-only, through March 1, 2011, and are required to repay the principal amount of the Term Loan over a period of twenty-seven (27) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest, commencing on April 1, 2011. At maturity of the Term Loan, we will also make a final payment equal to 5% ($1,000,000) of the Term Loan. We may incur additional fees if we elect to prepay the Term Loan. In connection with the Term Loan, on June 11, 2010, we issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 101,266 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.95 per share. These warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on June 11, 2017.

The Term Loan amended and restated the Original Term Loan, of which an aggregate balance of approximately $4.1 million remained outstanding along with a prorated final payment fee of $205,000. The net proceeds of the Term Loan, after payment of lender fees and expenses and the refinancing of the Original Term Loan, were approximately $15.3 million.

We accounted for this amendment to the Original Term Loan as debt modification since the terms of the amended Term Loan and the Original Term Loan were not substantially different and as present value of cash flows of the modified instrument (using a net method of comparing the present value of cash flows related to the lowest common principal balance between the old and the new loans) was within 10% of the original debt instrument. Accordingly, the fees associated with the amended Term Loan of $354,000 and the existing unamortized debt discount from the Original Term Loan of $242,000 will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.

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 is calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We are amortizing the relative fair value of the warrants as a discount of $279,000 over the term of the loan using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 14.78%. If the maturity of the debt is accelerated due to an event of default, then the amortization would be accelerated. The Term Loan is collateralized by the tangible assets of the company, and we were in compliance with our financial and non-financial covenants as of June 30, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

Jun. 30, 2010

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

9. 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.

For all sales, we use a binding purchase order or a signed agreement as evidence of an arrangement. 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 prior to January 1, 2011 that included multiple deliverables, we allocated revenue based on the relative fair values of the individual components. When more than one element such as product maintenance or technical support services were included in an arrangement, we allocated revenue between the elements based on each element's relative fair value, provided that each element met the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting (an item is considered a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items). Fair value is generally determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocated revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocated the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Fair values for undelivered elements were determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence as well as market participant quotes for similar services. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement was accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a deferral of revenue recognition for delivered elements until all undelivered elements have been fulfilled. Deferred service revenue is recognized ratably over the period the services are provided.

Beginning in 2011, for sales that include multiple deliverables, such as sales of our StemSource® Cell Bank, we account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Stem cell banks typically consist of a complex array of equipment and services, including one or more StemSource® devices, a cryogenic freezer, measuring and monitoring equipment, and a database patient tracking system. In addition, we provide installation and training services concurrent with the installation of the bank as well as web hosting, technical and maintenance services, generally for a period of up to one year, subsequent to the date of sale. The FASB guidance of the Codification 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 also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. For our cell bank sales, we establish selling prices for our undelivered future services based on vendor-specific quotes for comparable services when available. In the absence of VSOE, we use competitor's products or services considered largely interchangeable with our own or management best estimates for our undelivered elements. Because our cell banks are not considered functional and of standalone value to the customer until all equipment has been delivered and installation and training has occurred, the completion of these activities is the earliest point at which we can recognize any revenue for these transactions. The combination of the equipment, installation, and training activities therefore constitutes the primary unit of accounting, while future services such as web hosting and ongoing maintenance are deferred and recognized into income during the year following the installation. There would have been no material impact to our financial statements in 2010 had we applied this guidance retrospectively. The units of accounting we attribute to our cell bank sales have not changed from our prior methodology, and the pattern and timing of revenue recognition is not affected by the new guidance.

Concentration of Significant Customers

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our sales were concentrated in one direct customer, which comprised 29% of our revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Our Asia-Pacific and North America region sales accounted for 71% of our revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, one direct customer accounted for 40% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our sales were concentrated in two direct customers, which in aggregate comprised 32% of our revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our Asia-Pacific and North America region sales accounted for 87% of our revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, one distributor and two direct customers accounted for 37% of total outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010.

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 National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). 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 grants are recorded as research grant and other within development revenues. Research grant 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. Additionally, research and development arrangements we have with commercial enterprises such as Olympus and Senko are considered a key component of our central and ongoing operations. Accordingly, when recognized, the inflows from such arrangements are presented as revenues in our statements of operations.

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 are not separable and as a result the recognition of this deferred amount requires achievement of service related milestones, under a proportional performance methodology. If and as such revenues are recognized, deferred revenue will be decreased. Proportional performance methodology was elected due to the nature of our development obligations and efforts in support of the Joint Venture (“JV”), including product development activities and regulatory efforts to support the commercialization of the JV products. The application of this methodology uses the achievement of R&D milestones as outputs of value to the JV. We received up-front, non-refundable payments in connection with these development obligations, which we have broken down into specific R&D milestones that are definable and substantive in nature, and which will result in value to the JV when achieved. As our research and development efforts progress, we periodically evaluate, and modify if necessary, the milestone points in our proportional performance model to ensure that revenue recognition accurately reflects our best estimate of substantive value deliverable to the JV. Revenue will be recognized as the above mentioned R&D milestones are completed. Of the amounts received and deferred, we recognized development revenues of $0 and $1,231,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. During 2010, we recognized revenues of $0 and $2,122,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. All related development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in research and development expense on our statements of operations.

Under a Distribution Agreement with Senko, we granted to Senko an exclusive license to sell and distribute certain Thin Film products in Japan. We have also earned or will be entitled to earn additional payments under the Distribution Agreement based on achieving certain defined and substantive research and development milestones.

Of the amounts received and deferred with respect to Senko, we did not recognize any development revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

11. Long-Lived Assets

We assess certain long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, for potential impairment when there is a change in circumstances that indicates carrying values of assets may not be recoverable. Such long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset's carrying amount. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had no impairment losses associated with our long-lived assets.

Share-Based Compensation

12. Share-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2011, we issued to our directors, executive officers and certain non-executive employees options to purchase an aggregate of up to 692,500 shares of our common stock, with four-year vesting for our officers and employees and two-year vesting for our directors. The grant date fair value of the awards granted to our officers and employees was $3.46 and to our directors was $3.15 per share. The resulting share-based compensation expense of $2,375,000, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods.

We granted 246,225 performance-based restricted stock awards under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan in February 2011. The awards provide employees until January 1, 2012 to achieve certain performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The performance goals are weighted based on the following achievements: obtaining certain FDA clearance or approval (40%), achieving a targeted revenue increase for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (20%), and entering into a major collaboration for development and/or commercialization of the Company's products (40%). To the extent that any of the performance goals are partially achieved, the Compensation Committee maintains the discretion to continue the vesting of all or a portion of the awards following January 1, 2012. Once earned, the awards will remain unvested until January 1, 2013. Termination of employment prior to vesting will result in the forfeiture of any earned (as well as unearned) awards. No compensation expense was recognized related to these awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because the performance criteria have not been met, nor has the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion in determining if partial awards will be granted. The following table summarizes activity with respect to such awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011:

	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2011		0
Granted		246,225	$	5.82
Vested		0
Cancelled / Forfeited		0
Outstanding at June 30, 2011		246,225	$	5.82
Vested at June 30, 2011		0

During the first quarter of 2010, we issued to our directors, executive officers and certain non-executive employees options to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,155,000 shares of our common stock, with four-year vesting for our officers and employees and two-year vesting for our directors. The grant date fair value of the awards granted to our officers and employees was $4.07 and to our directors was $4.16 per share. The resulting share-based compensation expense of $4,713,000, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods.

Loss per Share [Abstract]

Loss per Share

13. Loss per Share

Basic per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding as calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares were related entirely to outstanding but unexercised options 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 and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 19,196,482 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 18,821,894 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into agreements, which have provisions for cancellation, with various clinical research organizations for pre-clinical and clinical development studies. Under the terms of these agreements, the vendors provide a variety of services including, but not limited to, conducting pre-clinical and clinical development 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 schedules of pre-clinical and clinical studies in progress. As of June 30, 2011, we have pre-clinical research study obligations of $90,000 (which are expected to be fully completed within a year) and clinical research study obligations of $12,400,000 ($3,000,000 of which are expected to be completed within a year).

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 or other remedy 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.

During 2008, we entered into a supply agreement with minimum purchase requirements clause. As of June 30, 2011, we have remaining minimum purchase obligations of $425,000, all of which is expected to be completed within a year.

During 2010, we entered into lease of 60,118 square feet at 3020 and 3030 Callan Road, San Diego, California. The related lease agreement bears monthly rent at a rate of $1.75 per square foot, with annual increase of $0.05 per square foot. The lease term is 64 months, commencing on July 1, 2010 and expiring on October 31, 2015. Additionally, we've entered into several lease agreements for international office locations and corporate housing for our employees on international assignments. As of June 30, 2011, we have remaining lease obligations of $6,284,000 ($1,650,000 of which are expected to be completed within a year).

Refer to note 15 for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies related to our transactions with Olympus, including (a) our obligation to the Joint Venture in future periods and (b) certain put and call rights embedded in the arrangements with Olympus.

Transactions with Olympus Corporation [Abstract]

Transactions with Olympus Corporation

15. Transactions with Olympus Corporation

Initial Investment by Olympus Corporation in Cytori

In 2005, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Olympus in which we received $11,000,000 in cash proceeds. We received an additional $11,000,000 from Olympus in August 2006 for the issuance of approximately 1,900,000 shares of our common stock at $5.75 per share. We received an additional $6,000,000 from Olympus in August 2008 for the issuance of 1,000,000 unregistered shares of our common stock at $6.00 per share and 500,000 common stock warrants (with an original exercise price of $8.50 per share) under a private placement offering.

As of June 30, 2011, Olympus holds approximately 7.65% of our issued and outstanding shares. Additionally, Olympus has a right, which it has not yet exercised, to designate a director to serve on our Board of Directors.

Formation of the Olympus-Cytori Joint Venture

In 2005, we entered into a joint venture and other related agreements (the “Joint Venture Agreements”) with Olympus. The Joint Venture is owned equally by Olympus and us. We have determined that the Joint Venture is a variable interest entity or VIE, but that Cytori is not the VIE's primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we have accounted for our interests in the Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting, since we can exert significant influence over the Joint Venture's operations. At June 30, 2011, the carrying value of our investment in the Joint Venture is $357,000. We are under no obligation to provide additional funding to the Joint Venture, but may choose to do so. We made no cash contributions to the Joint Venture during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. We contributed $330,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Put/Calls and Guarantees

The Shareholders' Agreement between Cytori and Olympus provides that in certain specified circumstances of our insolvency or if we experience a change in control, Olympus will 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the Put was $1,280,000 and $1,170,000, respectively. Fluctuations in the Put value are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of operations as a component of change in fair value of option liabilities. The estimated fair value of the Put has been recorded as a long-term liability in the caption option liability in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The valuations of the Put were completed using an option pricing theory based simulation analysis (i.e., a Monte Carlo simulation). The valuations are based on assumptions as of the valuation date with regard to the market value of Cytori and the estimated fair value of the Joint Venture, the expected correlation between the values of Cytori and the Joint Venture, the expected volatility of Cytori and the Joint Venture, the bankruptcy recovery rate for Cytori, the bankruptcy threshold for Cytori, the probability of a change of control event for Cytori, and the risk free interest rate.

The following assumptions were employed in estimating the value of the Put:

	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010

Expected volatility of Cytori		73.40	%		73.00	%
Expected volatility of the Joint Venture		73.40	%		73.00	%
Bankruptcy recovery rate for Cytori		28.00	%		28.00	%
Bankruptcy threshold for Cytori	$	7,801,000		$	5,842,000
Probability of a change of control event for Cytori		3.28	%		3.43	%
Expected correlation between fair values of Cytori and the Joint Venture in the future		99.00	%		99.00	%
Risk free interest rate		3.18	%		3.30	%

The Put has no expiration date. Accordingly, we will continue to recognize a liability for the Put and mark it to market each quarter until it is exercised or until the arrangements with Olympus are amended.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

16. 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
	June 30, 2011			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	27,806,000		$	27,806,000	$	-		$	-

Liabilities:
Put option liability	$	(1,280,000	)	$	-	$	-		$	(1,280,000	)
Warrant liability	$	(2,809,000	)	$	-	$	(2,809,000	)	$	-

	Balance as of			Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	December 31, 2010			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	39,807,000		$	39,807,000	$	-		$	-

Liabilities:
Put option liability	$	(1,170,000	)	$	-	$	-		$	(1,170,000	)
Warrant liability	$	(4,987,000	)	$	-	$	(4,987,000	)	$	-

We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds and therefore these are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

We value our put liability (see note 15) using an option pricing theory based simulation analysis (i.e., a Monte Carlo simulation). Assumptions are made with regard to the market value of Cytori and the estimated fair value of the Joint Venture, the expected correlation between the values of Cytori and the Joint Venture, the expected volatility of Cytori and the Joint Venture, the bankruptcy recovery rate for Cytori, the bankruptcy threshold for Cytori, the probability of a change of control event for Cytori, and the risk free interest rate. Because 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, the put option liability is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the change in our Level 3 put option liability value:

Put option liability	Six months ended June 30, 2011			Three months ended June 30, 2011

Beginning balance	$	(1,170,000	)	$	(880,000	)
Decrease (increase) in fair value recognized in operating expenses		(110,000	)		(400,000	)
Ending balance	$	(1,280,000	)	$	(1,280,000	)

Put option liability	Six months ended June 30, 2010			Three months ended June 30, 2010

Beginning balance	$	(1,140,000	)	$	(1,400,000	)
Decrease (increase) in fair value recognized in operating expenses		(200,000	)		60,000
Ending balance	$	(1,340,000	)	$	(1,340,000	)

Common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with our August 2008 private equity placement do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets, such as common stock market price, volatility, and risk free rate; therefore the warrant liability is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See note 7 for further discussion of fair value for these warrants.

No other assets or liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, or have been measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition, on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2011.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities which includes [financial] instruments measured at fair value that are classified in stockholders' equity. Such assets and liabilities may be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The disclosures which may be required or desired include: (1) for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, disclosure may include: (a) the fair value measurements at the reporting date; (b) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (ii) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); (iii) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs); (d) the amount of the total gains or losses for the period in subparagraph (c) (i) above included in earnings (or changes in net assets) that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (e) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period and (2) for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired assets) disclosure may include, in addition to (a) above: (a) the reasons for the fair value measurements recorded; (b) the same as (b) above; (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a description of the inputs and the information used to develop the inputs; and (d) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes, if any, in the valuation technique(s) used to measure similar assets and/or liabilities in prior periods. Where the quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the Level 1 input is the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset.

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

17. Fair Value

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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value and the carrying value of the Company's fixed rate debt were as follows:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Fixed rate debt	$	18,057,000	$	17,926,000	$	19,782,000	$	19,679,000

Carrying value includes $852,000 and $1,321,000 of debt discount as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

We apply fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with: (1) valuing potential impairment losses related to goodwill which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for intangibles-goodwill and other; and (2) valuing potential impairment losses related to long-lived assets which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for property, plant and equipment.

All of our goodwill is associated with regenerative cell technology, and we determine the fair value of this reporting unit based on a combination of inputs including the market capitalization of the Company, as well as Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. We conduct our goodwill impairment analysis annually as of November 30 each year, or upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. No such triggering events occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Historically, the fair value has significantly exceeded the carrying value.

We test for the impairment of our long-lived assets when triggering events occur and such impairment, if any, is measured at fair value. The inputs for fair value of our long lived assets would be based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations would be based on discounted cash flows using market place participant assumptions. No triggering events occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

18. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

On June 19, 2009, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Seaside 88, LP relating to the offering and sale of a total of up to 7,150,000 shares of our common stock. The agreement required us to issue and Seaside to buy 275,000 shares of our common stock once every two weeks, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Upon completion of our scheduled closings pursuant to the agreement with Seaside 88, LP in June 2010, we raised approximately $30,172,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from this transaction from the sale of 7,150,000 shares of our common stock between June 2009 and June 2010, of which $17,314,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 3,300,000 shares was raised during 2010. We have accounted for each of the completed closings as a component of stockholders' equity.

In October 2010, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies & Company, relating to the issuance and sale of 4,600,000 shares of our common stock. This price to the public in this offering was $4.50 per share and the underwriter agreed to purchase the shares from us at a price of $4.23 per share. The transaction was completed on October 13, 2010, raising approximately $20,700,000 in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

On December 13, 2010 we raised $10,000,000 in gross proceeds from a sale of 1,428,571 shares of unregistered common stock to Astellas Pharma Inc. for $7.00 per share in a private stock placement. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, we granted Astellas Pharma Inc. a two year right of first refusal to enter into a development and commercialization collaboration with us regarding the use of our technology, on a worldwide basis, for the treatment of liver conditions. In addition, we have agreed to use reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of common stock for resale upon the request of Astellas Pharma Inc. We also granted Astellas Pharma Inc. a non-voting observer seat on our Board of Directors and the right to designate a representative member to our Scientific Advisory Board. The $10,000,000 in total proceeds we received exceeded the market value of our stock at the completion of the purchase agreement. The $2,526,000 difference between the proceeds received and the fair market values of our common stock was recorded as a component of deferred revenues in the accompanying balance sheets. This difference was recorded as deferred revenue since, conceptually, the excess proceeds represent a value paid by Astellas Pharma Inc. attributable to the scientific advisory board seat, the non-voting observer seat on our Board of Directors, and the two year right of first refusal to enter into a development and commercialization collaboration with us regarding the use of our technology, on a worldwide basis, for the treatment of liver conditions, rather than an additional equity investment in Cytori. The recognition of this deferred amount is expected to occur upon the earlier of the expiration of the two year period or the termination of the agreement.

Warrant Adjustments

Our closings with Seaside 88, LP through June 7, 2010, our October 2010 offering of 4,600,000 shares of our common stock and our December 2010 sale of 1,428,571 shares of our common stock triggered an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares issuable under the warrants issued to investors in our August 2008 private placement financing. As a result, as of June 30, 2011, the common stock warrants issued on August 11, 2008 are currently exercisable for 1,924,160 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.02 per share.

Other Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Green Hospital Supply, Inc., our distribution partner in Japan and a related party, was a beneficial owner of more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred approximately $34,000 and $62,000, respectively, and $64,000 and $120,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, in royalty costs in connection with our sales of our Celution® 800/CRS System products to the European and Asia-Pacific reconstructive surgery market, pursuant to our License and Royalty Agreement with the Olympus -Cytori, Inc. joint venture. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Olympus Corporation was a beneficial owner of more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

19. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2011 and up to the date we filed this report.

On July 11, 2011, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Seaside 88, LP relating to the offering and sale of a total of up to 6,326,262 shares of our common stock. The agreement requires us to issue and Seaside to buy 1,326,262 shares of our common stock at an initial closing and 250,000 shares of our common stock once every two weeks, commencing 30 days after the initial closing, for up to an additional 20 closings, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. At an initial closing, the offering price was $4.52, which equaled to 88% of our common stock's volume-weighted average trading prices, or VWAP, during the ten-day trading period immediately prior to the initial closing date, raising approximately $6,000,000 in gross proceeds. At subsequent closings, the offering price will equal 90.25% of our common stock's volume-weighted average trading prices during the ten-day trading period immediately prior to each subsequent closing date.
