The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.





Overview

H-CYTE, Inc ("the Company") is intended to continue as a hybrid-biopharmaceutical company dedicated primarily to developing new treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders. During the last three years, the Company has evolved into two separate divisions with its entrance into the biologics and device development space ("Biotech Division"). This division is complementary to the Company's Lung Health Institute (LHI) autologous infusion therapy business ("Infusion Division") and is focused on underserved disease states. H-CYTE is shifting its focus on acquiring and developing early-stage companies or their technologies in the areas of therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics. The goal is to develop these companies and incubate their technologies to meaningful clinical inflection points.

On June 3, 2022, the Company closed its clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company has now closed all of its clinical operations in the autologous infusion therapy business which delivered treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders. The Company will continue to pursue regulatory approval of the device that was utilized in the treatment provided at the clinics. The Company also has a continued interest in the commercialization of the DenerveX device. The Company has begun to transform itself into a biologics and therapeutic device incubator to bring new technologies to market.

The consolidated results for H-CYTE include the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: H-CYTE Management, LLC, Medovex Corp, Cognitive Health Institute, LLC, and Lung Institute Tampa, LLC and the results include Lung Institute Dallas, LLC ("LI Dallas"), Lung Institute Nashville, LLC ("LI Nashville"), Lung Institute Pittsburgh, LLC ("LI Pittsburgh"), and Lung Institute Scottsdale, LLC ("LI Scottsdale"), as Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, H-CYTE Management, LLC is the operator and manager of the various Lung Health Institute (LHI) clinics: LI Dallas, LI Nashville, LI Pittsburgh, and LI Scottsdale. The LI Dallas and LI Pittsburgh clinics did not reopen in 2020 after the temporary closure of all LI clinics due to COVID-19. These two clinics will remain permanently closed. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company decided to close the LI Tampa and LI Nashville clinics. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company closed the LI Scottsdale clinic, the final LHI clinic.

On June 10, 2022, the Company amended (the "Amendment") its Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a one-for-one thousand reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of its common stock. The Reverse Split was approved by FINRA on June 10, 2022 and effectuated on June 13, 2022. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company also reduced the authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000. As a result of the Reverse Split, as of June 30, 2022, the Company has approximately 257,282 shares of common stock outstanding and 494,579,119 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at a ratio of one thousand shares of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of common stock. Accordingly, the 494,579,119 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are now convertible into an aggregate of 494,579 shares of common stock.





Impact of COVID-19

COVID-19 has adversely affected the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on businesses and the economy in the United States is expected to continue to be significant. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to impact businesses and the economy is highly uncertain. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operation will be affected.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health emergency caused by a new strain of the coronavirus and advised of the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The spread of COVID-19 coronavirus has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, especially as to travel and congregating in large numbers. In addition, certain states and municipalities have enacted quarantining regulations which severely limit the ability of people to move and travel.

In addition, the Company is uncertain of the full effect the pandemic will have on it for the longer term since the scope and duration of the pandemic is unknown, and evolving factors such as the level and timing of the distribution of efficacious vaccines across the world and the extent of any resurgences of the virus or emergence of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta variant and the Omicron variant, will impact the stability of economic recovery and growth. The Company may experience long-term disruptions to its operations resulting from changes in government policy or guidance; quarantines of employees, customers and suppliers in areas affected by the pandemic; and closures of businesses or manufacturing facilities critical to its business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

The Company bases our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Funding Requirements

The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan to focus on the Biologics Division. The Company will need to raise cash from debt and equity offerings to continue its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so.





Going Concern

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $2,635,000 and $6,527,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $2,058,000 and $3,466,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as it implements its plan around the Biosciences Division. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") as applicable to a going concern.

COVID-19 has adversely affected the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the economy in the U.S. and the rest of the world is expected to continue to be significant. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to impact the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operations will be affected.

The Company had cash on hand of approximately $46,000 as of June 30, 2022 and approximately $3,000, as of August 12, 2022. The Company's cash is insufficient to fund its operations over the next year and the Company is currently working to obtain additional debt or equity financing to help support working capital needs.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or that the terms and conditions of any future financings will be workable or acceptable to the Company or its shareholders. If the Company is unable to fund its operations from existing cash on hand, operating cash flows, additional borrowings, or raising equity capital, the Company may not continue operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Sources of Liquidity

With the Company historically having experienced losses, the primary source of liquidity has been raising capital through debt and equity offerings, as described below.





Debt



Convertible Notes Payable

On April 1, 2021, the Company, entered into a Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the "April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement") with five (5) investors (the "Holders"). Pursuant to the terms of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,575,000 maturing on June 30, 2022 with an annual interest rate of 8%. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a discount of 20% to the price paid for such New Securities in the next round of financing that meets the definition of Qualified Financing as defined in the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Company under a security agreement with the Holders. The lead investor of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, FWHC Bridge, LLC, advanced $1,500,000 of the total amount to the Company. FWHC Bridge, LLC is an affiliated entity of FWHC, LLC, which is a principal stockholder and related party of the Company. An additional affiliate of FWHC, LLC provided an additional $25,000 as part of the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement.

On October 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Closing Bring Down Agreement (the "October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement") whereby the five (5) investors who had entered into the April 2021 Note Purchase Agreement purchased new notes in the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000. The Notes are due and payable on June 30, 2022 and bear interest at an annual rate of 8%. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a discount of 20% to the price paid for such New Securities in the next financing that meets the definition of a Qualified Financing as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company under a security agreement with the Holders. The lead investor of the October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, FWHC Bridge, LLC, advanced $437,000 of the total amount to the Company. FWHC Bridge, LLC is an affiliated entity of FWHC, LLC, which is a principal stockholder and related party of the Company. An additional affiliate of FWHC, LLC provided an additional $7,000 as part of the October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement.

On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") which i) provided for an additional round of convertible debt financing ("Tranche 2 Notes") of up to $500,000 and ii) amended the conversion price on the convertible notes issued April 1, 2021 and October 8, 2021 (Tranche 1 Notes") from 80% of the price paid in a Qualified Financing (proceeds of at least $15 million), to the lesser of (x) $0.002 and (y) the price paid in a Qualified Financing (proceeds of at least $10 million). The Amendment Agreement also provides the following Milestone Payments:

3) $1,000,000 after filing a premarket notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of

the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, of its intent to market its PRP cellular

therapy

4) Following the closing of a Qualified financing, 25% of all proceeds raised in


    excess of $10 million (not to exceed $1 million)

The Milestone Payments are not to exceed $2 million, and the Amendment Agreement also specifies that a Qualified Financing will not occur prior to the closing of the acquisition of Jantibody, LLC.

The Company evaluated the Amendment Agreement under ASC 470-50, "Debt - Modification and Extinguishment", and concluded that probability of having to pay a Milestone payment was minimal and the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was not material. Since the Amendment did not cause a material change in cash flows, extinguishment accounting was not applicable.

On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Note Conversion Agreement (the "Note Conversion Agreement") with certain holders of its Tranche 1 Notes (i) providing for a conversion price equal to the lesser of (x) $0.002 per share (pre-split) and (y) the price per share paid by the investors in a Qualified Financing for such New Securities purchased for cash and not through conversion of Notes (as such terms are defined in the Note Conversion Agreement), in each case subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization, (ii) automatic conversion upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing, and (iii) amendment of the maturity date from March 31, 2022 to June 17, 2022 (the "New Notes"). Upon the effectiveness of the Company's 1,000-1 reverse split, the conversion price adjusted to the lesser of (a) the price in the Qualified Financing or (b) $2.00 per share. The New Notes also provided the investors with Royalty Payments equal to 15% of all net sales generated by the Company with respect to the sale of products or services associated with the 510(k) Notification related to the Company's autologous cellular therapy (PRP-PBMC) to treat chronic lung disorder. The Royalty Payments are in lieu of the Milestone payments but are perpetual and there is no limit to the aggregate amount of Royalty Payments that may be paid.

Due to changes in key provisions of the Tranche 1 Notes, the Company analyzed the before and after cash flows between the (i) fair value of the New Notes and (ii) reacquisition price of the Tranche 1 Notes prior to the (A) change in the maturity date from March 31, 2022 to June 17, 2022, (B) change in the conversion price to the lesser of (x) $2.00 and (y) the price paid in a Qualified Financing, and (C) the fair value of the potential Royalty Payments, to determine whether these changes resulted in a modification or extinguishment of the Tranche 1 Notes.

The Company used a discounted cash flow method with Monte Carlo Simulation to value the Royalty Payments. Future Royalty Payments were estimated based on management's best estimate of future cash flows under various scenarios which were discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate of 65%.





20

Based on the before and after cash flows of each note, the change was considered significantly different. Consequently, the New Notes were accounted for as a debt extinguishment of the Tranche 1 Notes and a new debt issuance of the New Notes. The Company recorded a $2.1 million loss upon extinguishment of debt in the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was comprised of the following:

Carrying value of Tranche 1 Notes $ 3,580,738 Less: Fair value of New Notes

            (4,079,838 )

Less: Fair value of Royalty Payments (1,697,000 ) Loss on Extinguishment

$ (2,196,100 )

The Note Conversion Agreement also provided for the consummation of a Tranche 2 Financing (the "Tranche 2 Notes") subject to (i) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness represented by the Tranche 2 Notes being capped at $500,000 and (ii) Tranche 2 Notes' being an unsecured obligation of the Company and expressly subordinate in all respects to all indebtedness of the Company under the Notes and including language in which the holders of such Tranche 2 Notes acknowledge, confirm and agree to the foregoing subordination terms. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement, the Investors have agreed not to sell any capital stock of the Company for a period of 12 months following the Qualified Financing.

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total of $272,500 with two accredited investors. The notes issued are convertible into common stock at a 35% discount to the lowest trading price in the 20-day period prior to conversion. The notes bear interest at 10% and are due one year from issuance. For the first six months, the Company has the right to prepay the notes at a premium of between 25% and 35% depending on when it is repaid.

The Company also issued a promissory note for $100,000 to another accredited investor. This note bears interest at 15% (no matter when repaid) and converts at a discount of 25% of the price of a public offering or a 25% discount to the VWAP of the five (5) days prior to conversion.

The embedded features in the Tranche 2 Notes were analyzed under ASC 815 to determine if they required bifurcation as derivative instruments. To be a derivative, one of the criteria is that the embedded component must be net-settleable. While the Company's Common Stock was traded on an exchange at the time of the transaction, the underlying shares are not readily convertible into cash since there is insufficient daily trading volume for the holders to convert the Tranche 2 Notes into Common Stock without significantly affecting the share price. Accordingly, the embedded derivatives, including the embedded conversion feature, did not meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore, did not require bifurcation from the host instrument. Certain default put provisions, including a default put and default interest, were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument but the Company concluded that the value of these provisions was de minim us at inception. The Company will reconsider the value of these provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.





Equity

In January 2022, the Company offered certain warrant holders the opportunity to receive an additional warrant to purchase the Company's Common Stock at $14.00 per share, for a period of five (5) years from issuance for the exercise of each existing warrant originally issued in April 2020 prior to March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had eleven warrant holders exercise an aggregate of 83,579 warrants at $14.00 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $1,170,110 to the Company.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the April 2020 financing. The registration statement was declared effective on February 14, 2022.
