Skye Bioscience, Inc. reported significant financial developments in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending June 30, 2026. The company recorded a net loss of $10.8 million for the quarter, a decrease from a net loss of $17.6 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, the net loss was $23.3 million, down from $28.7 million in the first half of 2025. The reduction in losses is attributed to a substantial decrease in research and development expenses, which fell to $3.9 million for the quarter, down 73% from $14.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to the termination of the CBeyond clinical trial and associated activities.
In terms of operational changes, Skye has initiated a strategic review process, leading to a workforce reduction and the winding down of certain operations. The company has also entered into a transaction agreement with Redx Pharma Limited, aiming to acquire the entire issued share capital of Redx. This transaction is subject to shareholder approval and is expected to provide a new direction for the company, which has faced challenges in the competitive anti-obesity market. The agreement was unanimously approved by Skye's board of directors and is part of a broader strategy to enhance shareholder value.
As of June 30, 2026, Skye's total assets were reported at $11 million, a significant decrease from $28.3 million at the end of 2025. The company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $8.1 million from $5.9 million, while short-term investments decreased sharply from $19.9 million to $2 million. The working capital deficit stood at $572,215, and the accumulated deficit reached $210.2 million. The company has indicated that its ability to continue operations is contingent upon successfully closing the transaction with Redx or securing additional funding.
The filing also highlighted the company's ongoing legal challenges, including a significant legal contingency related to a lawsuit from a former employee, which has resulted in an estimated liability of $5.4 million. This figure reflects a $3.25 million increase in the estimated legal contingency recognized during the second quarter of 2026. Skye's management has expressed uncertainty regarding the final outcome of this litigation, which could further impact the company's financial position.
Looking ahead, Skye expects to continue incurring significant losses and negative cash flows through the end of 2026. The company is focused on completing the proposed transaction with Redx and evaluating its strategic options to enhance its operational efficiency and financial stability. The management has indicated that future research and development expenses will be significantly reduced until the completion of the transaction, as the company reassesses its product pipeline and market strategy.
