BRB Acquisition
On August 18, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of Bird Rock Bio Sub, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated August 15, 2023 (Note 1). The purpose of the acquisition was to acquire BRB's clinical asset, nimacimab, an antibody targeting the CB1 receptor, for development to treat cardiometabolic conditions. Pursuant to the BRB Acquisition, the Company issued 3,872,184 shares of Skye common stock to the former preferred shareholders of BRB equal to $20,000,000 in base merger consideration priced at $5.16.
In addition, the former preferred shareholders of BRB were entitled to additional merger consideration for each dollar invested in the PIPE Financing (Note 7). Because the PIPE Financing and BRB Acquisition occurred contemporaneously and in contemplation of each other, in accounting for the transaction, the Company allocated the shares issued as additional merger consideration between the BRB Acquisition and PIPE Financing using a residual allocation method, whereby the fair value of
the consideration transferred was first allocated to the monetary assets and PIPE Financing proceeds with the remainder allocated to the IPR&D asset. As a result, 1,564,194 additional shares of common stock were allocated to the BRB Acquisition.
Below is a summary of the total consideration, assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the BRB Acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents 1,076,740

Total net assets acquired $ 21,609,586 
(a) Equal to the aggregate common shares issued of 5,436,378, multiplied by the Company's closing stock price of $3.98 as of August 18, 2023.
The cost to acquire the IPR&D asset related to nimacimab was expensed on the date of the BRB Acquisition as it was determined to have no future alternative use. Accordingly, costs associated with the BRB Acquisition to acquire the asset were expensed as incurred.
Acquisition of Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc.
On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into the Arrangement Agreement, as amended on June 14, 2022, July 15, 2022 and October 14, 2022, with EHT pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The EHT Acquisition was consummated on November 10, 2022 (the "Closing Date").
The primary purpose of the EHT Acquisition was to utilize EHT's remaining cash and cash equivalents and liquidate the primary real estate asset owned by EHT in order to fund the Company's operations. EHT is currently in the final stages of liquidating substantially all of its remaining assets, including AVI (Note 13). As of September 30, 2023, the Company has divested both of EHT's former operating entities. In negotiating the Exchange Ratio, the Company performed a review of EHT's assets and the costs expected to wind down operations. The remaining wind-down costs consist primarily of legal fees related to divesting of EHT’s assets and post-closing general corporate matters, other professional fees for accounting and tax, tax payments, insurance, contract termination costs and operational costs through the cease operations date at each site. As of September 30, 2023, the Company estimates that EHT will incur an additional $38,054 in wind-down costs. However, there are inherent risks and uncertainties around the ultimate liquidation value of EHT.

Divestiture of VDL
On November 10, 2022, EHT and C3, a third-party, entered into the Verdélite SPA, as amended, effective November 8, 2022, pursuant to which C3 would acquire all of the outstanding shares of VDL, the holder of EHT's most significant real estate asset.
On February 9, 2023, upon closing the transactions contemplated by the Verdélite SPA, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of VDL for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,451,233. Prior to closing the EHT Acquisition, EHT received a $557,705 cash deposit, which was considered in the sale as of the closing date. Upon closing, the Company received gross proceeds, net of legal and advisory fees as of the closing date, of $5,532,266. The remainder of the purchase price will be paid as follows: (i) $370,350 will be payable in five (5) equal monthly installments payable on the last day of each month beginning on December 31, 2023, and ending April 30, 2024, with interest in accordance with the terms of the Verdélite SPA and (ii) $2,777,625 will be payable in three (3) equal installments on each of the 18-month, 30-month, and 42-month anniversaries of the VDL Closing Date, with interest in accordance with the terms of the Verdélite SPA. The Company recognized the sale of VDL when control transferred on February 9, 2023. In accordance with recognition guidance, the Company has determined to fully reserve for the remaining receivables and will record a gain on the sale when additional cash payments are received. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has recorded a loss on sale of $307,086 based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets sold and the net cash proceeds.
