Nature of Operations
Skye Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company” or “Skye”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 16, 2011. The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation molecules that modulate G protein-coupled receptors to treat obesity and metabolic diseases.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to securing its product pipeline, carrying out its own 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.
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 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, 2023, 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, primarily the separate classification of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's condensed balance sheet, and condensed statement of cash flows and change in fair value of derivative liability and interest expense on the condensed statement of operations. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 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, 2023.
Pronouncements Implemented
In November 2023, the Financial Account Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company early adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2024, and determined that its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As defined in the ASU, operating segments are components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance for the organization. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment — pharmaceutical development. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new standard reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments, amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity, and modifies how certain convertible instruments and contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Specifically, the guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2024 and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
