Note 1—Organization and description of the business

The Company (as defined below) 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. Century Therapeutics, Inc. (“Prior Century”), was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 5, 2018. Since inception, Prior Century has devoted substantially all of its time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital.

On June 5, 2019, Century Therapeutics, LLC (the “Company”) was formed by Prior Century and entered into an LLC Agreement (“Agreement”). On June 21, 2019, Prior Century, through the execution of a commitment agreement and other transaction documents (altogether the “Commitment Agreement”) with Bayer Health, LLC (“Bayer”), financed the creation of the Company and amended the Agreement to account for the provisions in the Commitment Agreement that outlined the rights, obligations, and capital contributions of both Bayer and Prior Century in accordance with the newly executed and amended Agreement and related Commitment Agreement (the “Transaction”). The Transaction resulted in Prior Century contributing substantially all of its assets, liabilities, and operations in exchange for a retained 72% equity interest in the Company. Subsequent to June 21, 2019, Prior Century had no significant operations and accounted for its interest in the Company under the equity method of accounting.

In June 2020, the Company formed Century Therapeutics Canada ULC (“Century Canada”), a wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire the assets of Empirica Therapeutics, Inc. (“Empirica”).

On February 25, 2021, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, and changed its name to “CenturyTx, Inc.” Upon completion of this conversion, Prior Century merged with and into CenturyTx, Inc., with CenturyTx, Inc. as the surviving entity and CenturyTx, Inc. changed its name to “Century Therapeutics, Inc.” In connection with this merger, the holders of equity interests in Prior Century received equivalent equity interests in Century Therapeutics, Inc.

On June 22, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,550,000 shares of Common Stock. On June 22, 2021, the Company sold an additional 1,582,500 shares of Common Stock from the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the underwriters in the IPO. The public offering price of the shares sold in the IPO was $20.00 per share. The Company raised a total of $242,650 in gross proceeds from the offering, or $221,402 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $16,985 and other offering costs of approximately $4,263. Upon the closing of the offering, all shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 34,126,528 shares of common stock.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $30,749 and $99,250, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated $36,959 of cash from operations. Cash and cash equivalents and investments were $395,286 at September 30, 2022. Management expects to incur additional losses in the future to fund its operations and conduct product research and 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.
