Note 1—Organization and description of the business

Century Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovative biotechnology company developing transformative allogeneic cell therapies to create products for the treatment of both solid tumor and hematological malignancies with significant unmet medical need. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its time and efforts to performing research and development activities, building infrastructure and raising capital. The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware.

Century Therapeutics Canada ULC (“Century Canada”) is the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary performing research and development activities in Canada.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations of the Company and Century Canada. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited operating history and its prospects are subject to risks, expenses, and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. These risks include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty of availability of additional financing and the uncertainty of achieving future profitability.

Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $33,291 and $64,555, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company used $48,469 of cash in operations. Cash and cash equivalents and investments were $300,978 at June 30, 2023. Management expects to incur additional losses in the future to fund its operations and conduct product research and preclinical and clinical development and recognizes the need to raise additional capital to fully implement its business plan. The Company believes it has adequate cash and financial resources to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Reduction in force

In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved, and management implemented a new portfolio prioritization and capital allocation strategy. The resulting changes included pausing investment in CNTY-103 for glioblastoma as well as a discovery program in hematologic malignancies. The Company has shifted focus to CNTY-101 and will accelerate key programs, including one follow-on candidate for lymphoma, CNTY-102, and CNTY-107 for Nectin-4+ solid tumors. In addition, the Company continues its partnered programs with Bristol Myers Squibb. The restructuring plan resulted in a reduction in the Company's workforce of approximately 25%. In connection with the restructuring plan, lab operations in Seattle and Hamilton, Ontario were closed and research activities were consolidated in Philadelphia.
