Organization | 1. Organization Overview Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc., which is referred to herein as “Alaunos,” or the “Company,” is a clinical-stage oncology-focused cell therapy company that was historically involved in the development of adoptive TCR therapies, designed to treat multiple solid tumor types in large cancer patient populations with unmet clinical needs. The Company is leveraging its proprietary, non-viral Sleeping Beauty gene transfer platform and its novel cancer mutation hotspot TCR library to design and manufacture personalized cell therapies that target neoantigens arising from common tumor-related mutations in key oncogenic genes, including KRAS, TP53 and EGFR. The Company’s operations to date have consisted primarily of conducting research and development and raising capital to fund those efforts. As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,601,252 shares of common stock outstanding and an ad ditional 175,476 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options and warrants. On August 14, 2023, the Company announced a strategic reprioritization of its business and wind down of its TCR-T Library Phase 1/2 Trial. In connection with the reprioritization, the Company has significantly reduced its workforce and continues working to reduce costs in order to extend its cash runway. The Company continues to explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, an acquisition, merger, reverse merger, sale of assets, strategic partnerships, capital raises or other transactions. The Company has engaged Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor, to act as strategic advisor for this process. Separately, the Company is evaluating several potential opportunities including evaluating its own internal obesity program. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has operated at a loss since its inception in 2003 and has no recurring revenue from operations. The Company anticipates that losses will continue for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $2.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s accumulated deficit at June 30, 2024 was approximately $918.9 million. Given its current development plans and cash management efforts, the Company anticipates cash resources will be sufficient to fund ope rations into the third quarter of 2024. The Company’s ability to continue operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends on future events outside of the Company's control, including its ability to obtain additional financing or to achieve profitable results, as to which no assurances can be given. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, or if the Company is unsuccessful in entering into partnership agreements for further development of its product candidates, management may need to curtail its development efforts and planned operations to conserve cash until sufficient additional capital is raised. There can be no assurances that such a plan would be successful. Based on the current cash forecast and the Company's dependence on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current resources are exhausted, about which there can be no certainty, management has determined that the Company's present capital resources will not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year from the issuance date of the condensed financial statements, and substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists. This forecast of cash resources is forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, and the actual amount of expenses could vary materially and adversely as a result of a number of factors. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, or the Annual Report. The results disclosed in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Reverse Stock Splits On January 31, 2024, the Company filed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or (the Second Charter Amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 or the Reverse Split. The Second Charter Amendment decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 520,000,000 to 34,666,667. The Second Charter Amendment does not affect the par value of the Company’s common stock or change the number of authorized shares or par value of the Company’s preferred stock. The Second Charter Amendment became effective on January 31, 2024. On July 17, 2024, the Company filed a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Third Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 or the Second Reverse Split, collectively the Reverse Splits. The Third Charter Amendment decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 34,666,667 to 5,000,000. The Third Charter Amendment does not affect the par value of the Company’s common stock or change the number of authorized shares or par value of the Company’s preferred stock. The Third Charter Amendment became effective on July 17, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Splits. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Splits received a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales price per share of the common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Splits) on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 31, 2024 and July 17, 2024. All share and per share amounts of common stock, options, warrants, and restricted stock in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Splits as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
