1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Liquidity

Nature of Business:

Longeveron LLC was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on October 9, 2014 and authorized to transact business in Florida on December 15, 2014. On February 12, 2021, Longeveron LLC converted its corporate form (the “Corporate Conversion”) from a Delaware limited liability company (Longeveron, LLC) to a Delaware corporation, Longeveron Inc. (the “Company,” “Registrant,” “Longeveron,”, “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for specific aging-related and life-threatening conditions. The Company operates out of its leased facilities in Miami, Florida.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on licenses, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting capabilities.

The Company’s product candidates are currently in development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and substantial competition from, among others, existing pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, partners and consultants.

Going Concern and Liquidity:

Since inception, the Company has primarily been engaged in organizational activities, including raising capital, and research and development activities. The Company does not yet have a product that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and has only generated revenues from grants, the Bahamas Registry Trials and contract manufacturing. The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations or generated positive cash flows from operations. The Company intends to continue its efforts to raise additional equity financing, develop its intellectual property, and secure regulatory approvals to commercialize its products. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital, its research and commercialization efforts, regulatory approval, and, ultimately, the market acceptance of the Company’s products. These financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations since its inception, including a net loss of $16.0 million and $21.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $109.6 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million. The Company currently believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025 based on its current operating budget and cash flow forecast. However, as a result of its successful Type C meeting with the U.S. FDA in August 2024 with respect to the HLHS regulatory pathway, the Company has started to ramp up Biologics License Application (BLA) enabling activities as the Company currently anticipates a potential filing with the FDA in 2026 if the current ELPIS II trial is successful. The Company's operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements are expected to accelerate in calendar 2025 as a result of these activities, including CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) and manufacturing readiness, and there will be a need to increase the Company's current proposed spend and further increase its capital investments. The Company intends to seek additional financing/capital raises/non-dilutive funding options to support these activities, and current cash projections may be impacted by these ramped up activities and any

financing transactions entered into. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to attain future financing at terms favorable to the Company or at all.

The Company has prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that it does not have sufficient cash to meet its minimum expenditure commitments for one year from the date these financial statements are available to be issued and therefore needs to raise additional funds to continue as a going concern. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
