Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Skye Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company” or “Skye”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 16, 2011. The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing next-generation molecules that modulate G-protein-coupled receptors ("GPCRs") to treat obesity, overweight, and related conditions.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to securing its product pipeline, carrying out research and development, preparing for and conducting clinical trials, building infrastructure and raising capital. The Company has not yet realized revenue from its planned principal operations and is a number of years away from potentially being able to do so.

Impact of Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Factors

It is possible that the Company may encounter supply chain issues related to global economic and political conditions such as a lack of production or laboratory resources, pandemics or cyberattacks that could cause business disruptions and clinical trial delays which will need to be managed in the future. There may also be significant uncertainty resulting from the impact of other geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, including global pandemics, tariffs, inflation, supply chain issues, fluctuating interest rates, future bank failures and increased geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and its international trade partners, including China. Further, the U.S. federal government has been shut down since October 1, 2025, and the impact of a prolonged government shutdown on business and economic conditions generally, and on our financial position specifically, is uncertain.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and as of September 30, 2025, had working capital of $31,556,897 and an accumulated deficit of $172,432,523. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cashand cash equiva lents and short-term investments in the amount of $35,312,308. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred losses from operations of $43,268,021 and $19,526,617, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $41,482,851 and $16,820,644, respectively. The Company expects to continue to incur significant losses through the end of 2025 and expects to incur significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in the future.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent on its ability to raise sufficient additional funding to cover operating expenses and to carry out its research and development activities. During October 2025, the Company did not meet its primary endpoint in its Phase 2a study for nimacimab. As a result, management implemented a cost reduction plan to conserve runway while planning for potential future clinical studies and working to secure funding to support future clinical studies.

In January and March 2024, the Company completedtwo private placement equity transactions (the "January and March PIPE Financings") with institutional accredited investors in which we raised combined net aggregate proceeds of $83,556,563. The Company expects that the net proceeds raised from the January and March 2024 PIPE Financings will fund CBeyond studies for obesity through the 52-week Phase 2a extension data. However, additional funding will be required to support subsequent studies for the development of nimacimab.

In May 2024 the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "ATM Agreement")under which the Company may sell up to $100,000,000 of shares of common stock. The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM Agreement as of the date hereof and is not obligated to, and cannot provide any assurances that the Company will make any sales of the shares under the ATM Agreement.

The Company is a party to a legal proceeding with a former employee (see note 7). As of September 30, 2025, the estimated legal contingency, including accrued legal expenses, is $2,054,357.

It is possible that the Company may encounter issues relating to supply chain inefficiencies, a lack of production or laboratory resources, global economic and political conditions, pandemics or cyberattacks that could cause business disruptions and clinical trial delays which will need to be managed in the future.

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its operating results during the periods presented. However, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on general and administrative costs such as professional fees, employee costs and travel costs, and may in the future adversely affect the Company's operating results. In addition, increased inflation has had and may continue to have an effect on interest rates. Increased interest rates may adversely affect the terms under which the Company can obtain any potential additional funding.

Notably, the Company relies on third party manufacturers to produce its product candidates. The manufacturing of nimacimab is conducted in Europe. Formulation for clinical trial use relies on regulatory-accepted excipients that can be sourced from countries outside the United States.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year, or any future periods.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, from which the prior year balance sheet information herein was derived.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period’s presentation, including reclassifying discovery research and development expense amounts from external clinical development expenses into other research and development expenses, as described in Note 8, Segment Reporting. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

During thenine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Pronouncements Implemented

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires greater disaggregation of information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU applies to all entities subject to income taxes and is intended to help investors better understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2025. The company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its upcoming annual filing on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On October 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approved the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan"). On June 14, 2022, the Board approved the 2014 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Amended and Restated Plan”) which replaced the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan in its entirety.

On September 29, 2023, the Board and holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company adopted and approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2014 Amended and Restated Plan. Amendment No. 1 to the 2014 Amended and Restated Plan became effective on November 6, 2023.

On October 22, 2024, the second amendment and restatement of the Company's 2014 Amended and Restated Plan was approved to increase the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable to 4,000,000, extend the expiration date of the plan to September 10, 2034, update the name of the plan to the “Skye Bioscience, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan” and make certain administrative amendments (as so amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated Plan").

  1. Contingencies

General Litigation and Disputes

From time to time, in the normal course of operations, the Company may be a party to litigation and other dispute matters and claims. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Wendy Cunning vs Skye Bioscience, Inc.

The Company is a party to a legal proceeding with a former employee alleging, among other things, wrongful termination, violation of whistleblower protections under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and retaliation under California law against the Company relating to certain actions and events that occurred with the Company's former management during the employee's employment term from March 2018 to July 2019. The complaint seeks unspecified economic and non-economic losses, as well as attorneys’ fees. The case, entitled Wendy Cunning vs Skye Bioscience, Inc., was filed in U.S. District Court (the "District Court") for the Central District of California (the “Cunning Lawsuit”). On January 18, 2023, a jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded her $512,500 in economic damages (e.g., lost earnings, future earnings and interest), $840,960 in non-economic damages (e.g., emotional distress) and $3,500,000 in punitive damages. On August 2, 2023, the District Court ruled on the plaintiff's motion for attorney fees and awarded the plaintiff $1,200,008. Based on this order, the Company reduced the aggregate estimate for the legal contingency by $151,842, the difference between the attorney fees awarded by the District Court and the Company's previous estimate. On August 17, 2023, the Company obtained a stay on enforcement of the judgment in the Cunning Lawsuit by posting an appeal bond in the amount of $9,080,202.

In March of 2023, the Company appealed the judgment in the Cunning Lawsuit to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth District (the "Ninth Circuit"). On October 22, 2024, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision in the Company's favor which vacated the judgment and remanded the case back to the District Court for a new trial. As a result, the Company recovered the $9,080,202 restriction on its cash related to the bond during the year ended December 31, 2024. The new trial is currently scheduled to be held in February 2026.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, management revised its assumptions related to its estimate of the legal contingency and the Company reversed the accrued interest on the original judgment and recognized a gain of $4,234,717 in change in estimate for legal contingencies. As of September 30, 2025, the estimated legal contingency, including accrued legal expenses, is $2,054,357.

In arriving at the conclusion that a significant portion of the estimated legal contingency should be reversed, the Company considered the following in revising its assumptions:

advice from external advisors including its technical accounting advisors regarding the appropriate application of GAAP and legal counsel’s advice with regard to prior experience with similar cases,

the damages and potential attorney fee awards if the case were to be retried, including the likelihood of a subsequent loss if the Company were to be unsuccessful, while giving consideration to the facts and circumstances that would be inadmissible due to the Ninth Circuit’s decision,

the likelihood of settlement and information obtained during settlement discussions prior to the first trial,

the Company’s possible defenses and counterclaims, and

the case history and the amount of the prior judgment.

The final amount of the loss and loss recoveries remain uncertain. The ultimate amount of the potential loss may be significantly less than the amount of the revised legal contingency and there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its efforts to recover additional losses. The Company believes that it is at least reasonably possible that the estimated amount of the potential loss may change in the near term.

  1. Segment Reporting

The Company operates inone business segment, which includes the business of research and development activities related to developing medicine for obesity and other metabolic diseases. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net loss for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods.

In addition to the significant expense categories included within consolidated net loss presented on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, see below for disaggregated amounts that comprise research and development expenses which are presented to the Company's CODM for review:
