Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLID ATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
TScan Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TScan Securities Corporation (the Company), is a biotechnology company that was incorporated in Delaware on April 17, 2018 and has a principal place of business in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Company is focused on developing a pipeline of TCR-T therapy product candidates for the treatment of patients with cancer.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) regarding interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes that the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and cash flows. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TScan Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiary, TScan Securities Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included.
Risks, Uncertainties and Going Concern
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful development of technology, obtaining additional funding, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates and the ability to successfully market any products that receive approval, fluctuations in operating results, economic pressure impacting therapeutic pricing, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with changes in technologies, development by competitors of technological innovations and the ability to scale manufacturing to large scale production. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from sales.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from sales of capital stock, payments received under its license and collaboration agreements and debt financings. Since its inception, the Company has incurred recurring losses, including net losses of $71.1 million and $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $446.2 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company qualifies as “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act) and has elected to “opt in” to the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for nonpublic companies.

No Voting Common Stock has been sold under this Sales Agreement to date.
Equity Offerings
On June 1, 2023, the Company completed an underwritten public offering resulting in the issuance and sale of (a)23,287,134 shares of Voting Common Stock, at a price of $2.00 per share, and (b) pre-funded warrants (Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase up to 47,010,526 sharesof the Voting Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants were issued at a purchase price of $1.9999 per warrant, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $134.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, with $42.4 million allocated to the Voting Common Stock and $92.3 million allocated to Pre-Funded Warrants.
On April 24, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering resulting in the issuance and sale of (a)4,958,068 shares of Voting Common Stock, including the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 2,485,487 additional shares of Voting Common Stock, at the closing market price on April 16, 2024, of $7.13 per share, and (b) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 18,577,419 sharesof the Voting Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants were issued at a purchase price of $7.1299 per warrant, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $161.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, with $33.1 million allocated to the Voting Common Stock and $128.3 million allocated to Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable subject to certain ownership limitations, have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, may be exercised at any time and do not expire.

In addition, the Pre-Funded Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. As such, proceeds received from the issuance from the Pre-Funded Warrants were recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2025, no Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised.
- Collaboration and License Agreements
Amgen
On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the Amgen Agreement) with Amgen Inc. (Amgen) to identify antigens recognized by T cells in patients with Crohn’s disease in accordance with a research plan. Under the terms of the Amgen Agreement, Amgen will retain all global development and commercialization rights, as well as an option to expand the collaboration to include target discovery for ulcerative colitis, under certain pre-specified terms. The proceeds from the Amgen
Agreement include an upfront payment of $30 million, which was collected in July 2023. In addition, the Company is eligible to earn success-based milestone payments of over $500 million, based upon the achievement of certain clinical development and commercial milestones, as well as tiered single-digit royalty payments on net sales of products developed from the collaboration, subject to reductions set forth in the Amgen Agreement.
The Company concluded that Amgen meets the definition of a customer, as the Company is delivering research and development activities and a license of intellectual property. The Company identified performance obligations for research and development activities, the license, data reporting and participation in joint steering and research committees, which were determined to be a single combined performance obligation due to the services and licenses being highly interrelated.
For a certain time period during the term of the Amgen Agreement, Amgen has an option to add targets to the collaboration for payments specified in the agreement. Pursuant to the Amgen Agreement, the option for Amgen to select additional targets and to license, develop, and commercialize targets is not a performance obligation at the outset as these are customer options that do not represent material rights.
The Company looked to the promises in the arrangement to determine the method of recognition that best depicted the transfer of the services and the satisfaction of the combined performance obligations. The Company concluded that the performance of the research services over the expected research term was the predominant promise within the performance obligation. The Company will recognize the revenue associated with the performance obligation using an input method. The method of measuring progress towards delivery of the services incorporates actual internal and external costs incurred, relative to total internal and external costs expected to be incurred to satisfy the performance obligation. Changes in estimates of total internal and external costs expected to be incurred are recognized in the period of change as a cumulative catch-up adjustment. As costs are incurred, the Company will recognize revenue over time. At this time, it is estimated that the research term will be approximately three years.
The Company determined the $30.0 million upfront payment to be the entirety of the consideration to be included in the transaction price as of the onset of the arrangement. The option to add additional targets was not included in the transaction price as they were assessed to be improbable at this time. The potential milestone and royalty payments that the Company is eligible to receive were also excluded from the transaction price, as all milestone and royalty amounts were fully constrained based on the assessed probability of achievement. The Company will continue to assess the probability of the option to add additional targets and the probability of milestone achievement throughout the research term and will adjust the consideration in the contract accordingly.
The $30.0 million up-front payment was invoiced in June 2023 and was fully collected in July 2023. During thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $3.1 million, $5.2 million, $0.5 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, of revenue associated with the Amgen Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $7.7 million of deferred revenue which is classified as short-term.

Royalty Agreement
In June 2018, the Company amended and restated an existing royalty agreement with one of its founders.

The Company will be liable for a final payment that is due on the earliest to occur of (a) the maturity date, (b) the repayment of the term loans in full, and (c) the date upon which the term loans are accelerated by the lender, in an amount equal to the aggregate original principal amount of the term loans extended by the lender to the Company, multiplied by 5.0% (Exit Fee).
