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 a hybrid-biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and delivering new treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders. During the last two 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 current Lung Health Institute (LHI) autologous infusion therapy business ("Infusion Division") and is focused on underserved disease states. On September 8, 2021, the Company announced that its Lung Health Institute facilities changed their names to Centers for Respiratory Health as the clinics continue to deliver treatments for patients with chronic respiratory and pulmonary disorders.

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, PLLC ("LI Dallas"), Lung Institute Nashville, PLLC ("LI Nashville"), Lung Institute Pittsburgh, PLLC ("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, the LI Scottsdale clinic will remain open.

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.

Results of Operations - Three months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company generated a gross profit totalling approximately $293,000 and $178,000, respectively. The increase in gross profit, as compared to the prior quarter, is attributable to the Company using part-time staff on an as needed basis in the Scottsdale and Tampa clinics along with the closing of the Nashville clinic in February 2022.

Operating Expenses

Salaries and Related Costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred approximately $347,000 and $662,000 in salaries and related costs, respectively. The decrease in salaries and related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year, is due to the adjustments to the Company's corporate structure by reducing expenses in marketing, sales, and operations due to decreased patient volume.

Other General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred approximately, $510,000 and $919,000, in other general and administrative costs, respectively. The decrease, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to the economic impact that COVID-19 has had on the Company. The decrease is attributable to cost saving measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company made adjustments to its corporate structure by reducing expenses in marketing, sales, and operations due to decreased patient volume. The Company also closed the Dallas and Pittsburgh clinics permanently in 2020 and reduced the Tampa and Scottsdale clinics to part-time in 2021.

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

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 $341,000 as of March 31, 2022 and approximately $92,000, as of April 25, 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 short-term 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 be forced to discontinue 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.
