1.	Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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 March 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at December 31, 2015, 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 months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2016.

On May 10, 2016, following stockholder and Board approval, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, was filed and declared effective, which Amendment (i) effectuated a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of the Company’s (ii) outstanding common stock, and (iii) common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 290 million to 75 million (The “1;15 Reverse Stock Split”). Upon effectiveness of the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (x) issued and outstanding decreased from approximately 200 million shares (as of March 31, 2016) to approximately 13 million shares; (y) reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased from approximately 16 million shares to approximately 1.1 million shares, and (z) reserved but unallocated under our current equity incentive plans (including the stockholder-approved share increase to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan) decreased from approximately 1.5 million common shares to approximately 0.1 million common shares. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock remained unchanged. Following the reverse split, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. The Company adjusted shareholders' equity to reflect the reverse stock split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from common stock to the Additional Paid-in Capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in no net impact to shareholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company has been advised that shares of our common stock will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis on May 12, 2016. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and proportional adjustments will be made to the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans.

Use of Estimates

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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, estimating useful lives of long-lived assets, valuing warrants, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts, and inventories.

Capital Availability

3.	Capital Availability

We incurred net losses of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $362 million as of March 31, 2016. Additionally, we have used net cash of $5 million to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital 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 operations. However, our ability to raise capital was adversely affected once FDA put a hold on our Athena trials in mid-2014, which had an adverse impact to stock price performance and our corresponding ability to restructure our debt. More recently, a continued downward trend in our stock price resulting from general economic and industry conditions as well as the market’s unfavorable view of our recent equity financings (which financings were priced at a discount to market and included 100% warrant coverage) and our Nasdaq listing deficiency, have made it more difficult to procure additional capital on terms reasonably acceptable to us. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise outside capital in the near term, we will be required to significantly reduce our research, development, and administrative operations, including reduction of our employee base, in order to offset the lack of available funding.

We are pursuing financing opportunities in both the private and public debt and equity markets as well as through strategic corporate partnerships. We have an established history of raising capital through these platforms, and we are currently involved in negotiations with multiple parties. Our efforts in 2014 and 2015 to raise capital took longer than we initially anticipated. We expect to continue to utilize our cash and cash equivalents to fund operations at least through September of 2016, subject to minimum cash and cash liquidity requirements of the Loan and Security Agreement with the Lender, which requires that we maintain at least $5 million of cash on hand to avoid an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement. We continue to seek additional cash through product revenues, strategic collaborations, and future sales of equity or debt securities. Although there can be no assurance given, we hope to successfully complete one or more additional financing transactions and corporate partnerships in the near-term. Without this additional capital, current working capital and cash generated from sales and containment of operating costs will not provide adequate funding for research, sales and marketing efforts, clinical and preclinical trials, 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 could negatively affect our ability to achieve corporate goals.

Specifically, we have prepared an operating plan that calls for us to reduce operations to focus almost entirely on one US clinical program and the supply of current products to existing or new distribution channels. In addition, as part of this plan, there would be minimal expenditures for ongoing scientific research, product development or clinical research. This impacts research and development headcount, external subcontractor expenditures, capital outlay and general and administrative expenditures related to the supervision of such activities. In parallel, we would significantly reduce administrative staff and salaries consistent with the overall reduction in scope of operations. In aggregate, such reductions could result in eliminations of roles for the majority of the Company’s current staff and the deferral or elimination of all ongoing development projects until such time that cash resources were available from operations or outside sources to re-establish development and growth plans. Management is currently reviewing contractual obligations related to the pre-clinical and clinical commitments along with minimum purchase requirements to include deferral of such commitments as part of this plan. While management is actively pursuing it’s near term financial and strategic alternatives it is also, in parallel, continuing to evaluate the timing of implementation of the alternative operating plan and the initiation of the identified reductions.

Long-term Debt [Abstract]

Long-term Debt

5.	Long-term Debt

On May 29, 2015, we entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford” or “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender funded an aggregate principal amount of $17.7 million (“Term Loan”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the loan agreement. The Term Loan accrues interest at a floating rate of 8.95% per annum, comprised of three-month LIBOR rate with a floor of 1.00% plus 7.95%. Pursuant to the Loan 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, Cytori received an acknowledgement and agreement from Oxford related to the positive data on Cytori US ACT-OA clinical trial. As a result, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the period for which the Company is 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, the Company is required to make a final payment fee in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $1.1 million. In connection with the Term Loan, on May 29, 2015, we issued to the Lender warrants to purchase an aggregate of 94,441 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.35 per share. These warrants are exercisable on or after November 30, 2015 and will expire on May 29, 2025 and, following the authoritative accounting guidance, are equity classified.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we prepaid all outstanding amounts under our prior loan agreement with Oxford and Silicon Valley Bank, at which time the Company’s obligations under the prior loan agreement immediately terminated. The Company paid to the prior agent and the prior lenders (Oxford and Silicon Valley Bank) approximately $25.4 million, consisting of the then outstanding principal balance due of approximately $23.4 million, accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $0.2 million, final payment and other agency fees of approximately $1.8 million and other customary lender fees and expenses.

For Oxford, we accounted for this Term Loan as a debt modification. The Company retired $3.1 million of the principal of the previous loan and the corresponding unamortized fees were expensed. The remaining fees of $0.8 million were recorded as debt discount, and along with the new loan fees, will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense using the effective interest method. For Silicon Valley Bank, which did not participate in the Term Loan, the payoff of the loan was accounted for as debt extinguishment. Accordingly, a total loss on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million was recorded, which includes the unamortized fees and discounts along with final payment fees.

We allocated the aggregate proceeds of the Term Loan between the warrants and the debt obligations based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the warrants issued to the Lender was calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly sensitive assumptions including expected volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period. The risk-free interest rate for period within the contractual life of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. We will amortize the relative fair value of the warrants as a discount of $0.8 million over the term of the loan using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 14.95%. The Term Loan is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s existing and after-acquired assets, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan Agreement and excluding its intellectual property assets, which are subject to a negative pledge.

Research and Development

We earn revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with governmental agencies like the BARDA. Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contract and other within development revenues. Government contract revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the reimbursement. The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expense in our statements of operations. We recognized $1.6 million in BARDA revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Loss per Share [Abstract]

Loss per Share

8.	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 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

9.	Commitments and Contingencies

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, 2016, we have clinical research study obligations of $5.1 million, $4.2 million of which are expected to be complete within a year. Should the timing of the clinical trials change, the timing of the payment of these obligations would also change.

We have entered into several lease agreements for our headquarters office location as well as international office locations. As of March 31, 2016, we have remaining lease obligations of $3.6 million, $2.3 million of which are expected to be completed within a year.

We have entered into minimum purchase agreement with Roche Diagnostics Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, as of March 31, 2016, we have a minimum purchase obligation of $6.0 million, $1.2 million of which is 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 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.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

10.	Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

As of March 31, 2016 and as of December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Warrants with exercise price reset features (down-round protection) were accounted for as liabilities, with changes in the fair value included in net loss for the respective periods. Because some of the inputs to our valuation model were either not observable or were not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, the warrant liability was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. All of these warrants were cashless exercised on or before December 31, 2015.

11.	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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

We utilize quoted market prices to estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, we calculate the fair value of our fixed rate debt based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to the debt.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt were as follows:

	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015

	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value

Fixed rate long-term debt	$	16,988,000	$	16,919,000	$	16,844,000	$	16,681,000

Carrying value is net of debt discount and capitalized loan fees of $1.9 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The fair value of debt is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as some of the inputs to our valuation model are either not observable quoted prices or are not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- 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

12.	Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We have authorized 5 million shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. Our 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 that had been issued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of which were outstanding as of either date.

The fair value of the common stock into which the Series A 3.6% Convertible 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 dividend to the preferred shareholders and, accordingly, an adjustment to net loss to arrive at net loss allocable to common shareholders. Certain shares of Series A 3.6% Convertible Preferred Stock were not convertible until shareholder approval, which occurred in January 2015. As a result, dividend for the beneficial conversion feature of $0.7 million was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

In connection with the 3.6% Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2014, we declared a cash dividend of $0.08 million. The cash dividend was paid in January and April 2015.

Common Stock

In May 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell up to $25 million of units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of its common stock, in a registered direct offering. The purchase and sale of the units took place in two separate closings. At the initial closing, which took place on May 8, 2015, the Company received approximately $17.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of units. The second closing of the purchase and sale of the units occurred on August 27, 2015 upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including, without limitation, stockholder vote, and the Company received approximately $2.1 million in net proceeds from the sale of 500,000 units of the 1,000,000 units available for sale at the second closing.

On December 17, 2015, the Company and the holders of October 2014 warrants agreed to amend the October 2014 Warrants pursuant to an Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “2014 Amendment”). Also on December 17, 2015, the Company and the holders of the May 2015 Warrants and the August 2015 Warrants (collectively the “2015 Warrants”) agreed to amend the 2015 Warrants pursuant to an Amendment to Series A-1 Warrant to Purchase Common Stock and Amendment to Series A-2 Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, respectively (the “2015 Amendment” and, together with the 2014 Amendment, the “Warrant Amendments”). The Warrant Amendments provide that the holders may exercise their warrants on a “cashless exercise” basis in whole on or prior to December 31, 2015, whereby each exercising holder of the amended 2015 Warrants would receive 0.75 shares for each warrants share exercised and each exercising holder of the amended 2014 Warrants would receive 0.69 shares for each warrant share exercised. In addition, the Warrant Amendments removed certain provisions which provided that the exercise price of the Warrants would be reset in the event of certain equity issuances by the Company for a price below the exercise price of the Warrants as of the time of such issuance. All 2014 Warrants and all 2015 Warrants were cashless exercised on or before December 31, 2015.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings, accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and amount of comprehensive income.

On April 6, 2016, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to $10,000,000 of units to be distributed at no charge to the holders of our common stock as of the record date. The rights provide the holders the option to subscribe for units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a fraction of a warrant (with each whole warrant representing the right to purchase one share of common stock). The record date and pricing terms of the rights offering have not yet been determined. There is no guarantee that the rights offering will be consummated, or if it is consummated that it will raise sufficient capital to enable the Company to continue to execute its business strategy as currently contemplated. See “Risk Factors” below for more information.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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 March 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at December 31, 2015, 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 months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2016. On May 10, 2016, following stockholder and Board approval, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, was filed and declared effective, which Amendment (i) effectuated a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of the Company’s (ii) outstanding common stock, and (iii) common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 290 million to 75 million (The “1;15 Reverse Stock Split”). Upon effectiveness of the 1:15 Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (x) issued and outstanding decreased from approximately 200 million shares (as of March 31, 2016) to approximately 13 million shares; (y) reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options decreased from approximately 16 million shares to approximately 1.1 million shares, and (z) reserved but unallocated under our current equity incentive plans (including the stockholder-approved share increase to the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan) decreased from approximately 1.5 million common shares to approximately 0.1 million common shares. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock remained unchanged. Following the reverse split, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. The Company adjusted shareholders' equity to reflect the reverse stock split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from common stock to the Additional Paid-in Capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in no net impact to shareholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company has been advised that shares of our common stock will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis on May 12, 2016. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and proportional adjustments will be made to the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans.

Use of Estimates [Abstract]
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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, estimating useful lives of long-lived assets, valuing warrants, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts, and inventories.

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.
