THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
The Quigley Corporation (the "Company"), organized under the laws of the state
of Nevada, is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of health
and homeopathic products and are being offered to the general public. For the
fiscal periods presented, the Company's proprietary "Cold-Eeze(R)" products
contribute the majority of revenues.
Darius International Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Quigley Corporation
was formed in January 2000 to introduce new products to the marketplace through
a network of independent distributors. Darius is a direct selling organization
specializing in proprietary health and wellness products, which commenced
shipping product to customers in the third quarter of 2000.
Effective July 1, 2000, The Quigley Corporation acquired a 60% ownership
position of Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. an Orlando, Florida-based
company. Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. is a leading developer and
marketer of all-natural sun and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme
parks and spas.
The formation of Darius International Inc., and the majority ownership in
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., provide diversification to the Company
in both the method of product distribution and the broader range of products
available to the marketplace.
In January 2001, the Company formed an Ethical Pharmaceutical Unit under the
direction of the Quigley Pharma Inc's Executive Vice President and chairman of
its Medical Advisory Committee. The launch of Quigley Pharma Inc., follows the
Patent Office of The United States Commerce Department confirming the assignment
to the Company of a Patent Application filing for the "Method and Composition
for the Topical Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy". Establishing a dedicated
pharmaceutical subsidiary will enable the Company to diversify into the
prescription drug market and to ensure safe and effective distribution of this
important new product for the relief of diabetes-related pain.
Cold Remedy Products
- --------------------
Cold-Eeze(R), a zinc gluconate glycine formulation (ZIGG(TM)), is sold in
lozenge, bubble gum and sugar-free tablet forms. In May 1992, the Company
entered into an exclusive agreement for worldwide representation, manufacturing,
marketing and distribution rights to a zinc gluconate glycine lozenge
formulation which was patented in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden,
France, Italy, Canada, Germany, and pending in Japan. This product is presently
being marketed by the Company and also through independent brokers and marketers
in the United States under the trade names Cold-Eeze(R), Cold-Eeze(R) Sugar
Free, and Cold-Eeze(R) Bubble Gum and in Canada under the trade name
Zigg-Eeze(TM).
In 1996, the Company also acquired exclusive license for a United States ZINC
GLUCONATE USE PATENT NUMBER RI 33,465 from the patent holder. This use patent
gives the Company exclusive rights to both the USE and FORMULATION patents on
zinc gluconate for reducing the duration and severity of common cold symptoms.
In two double blind studies Cold-Eeze(R) has been shown to reduce the severity
and duration of common cold symptoms by nearly half. The results of the latest
randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of the common cold were
published in 1996 in the ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE - VOL. 125 NO 2. Research
is continuing on this product in order to maximize its full potential use by the
general public.
In the last half of 1998, the Company launched Cold-Eeze(R) in a sugar free
version of the product to benefit diabetics and other consumers concerned with
their sugar intake. Late in the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company launched a
bubble gum version of Cold-Eeze(R).
The business of the Company is subject to federal and state laws and regulations
adopted for the health and safety of users of the Company's products.
Cold-Eeze(R) is a homeopathic remedy that is subject to regulations by various
federal, state and local agencies, including the FDA and the Homeopathic
Pharmacopoeia of the United States.
The Company competes with suppliers varying in range and size in the cold remedy
products arena. Cold-Eeze(R), which has been clinically proven, offers a
significant advantage over other suppliers in the over-the-counter cold remedy
market. The management of the Company believes there should be no future
impediment on the ability to compete in the marketplace now,
6
or in the immediate future, since factors concerning the product, such as price,
product quality, availability, reliability, credit terms, name recognition,
delivery and support are all properly positioned. The Company has several
Broker, Distributor and Representative Agreements, both nationally and
internationally and the product is distributed through numerous independent and
chain drug and discount stores throughout the United States.
The Company continues to use the resources of independent national and
international brokers complementing its own personnel to represent the Company's
over-the-counter products, thereby saving capital and other ongoing expenditures
that would otherwise be incurred.
Health And Wellness Products
- ----------------------------
At the very end of 1998, the first product of the Bodymate(TM) line was launched
in a test market to enter the nutrition and weight management industry. The
unique proprietary delivery system and naturalness of this product, with the
main ingredients of garcinia cambogia and chromium polynicotinate, offers
instant satisfaction and gratification to those attempting to lose weight. It is
believed that the ingredients in this product may block an enzyme necessary for
the formation of fats from carbohydrates, and affects the appetite to bring
about a feeling of fullness.
Darius International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, was formed in January
2000 for the purpose of introducing new products to the marketplace through a
network of independent distributors. Darius is a direct selling organization
specializing in proprietary health and wellness products. The products marketed
and sold by Darius International are designed to improve the human condition, be
it in the area of joint health, immunity, energy, pain, weight loss or the
common cold. The products currently available from Darius include: Bodymate(TM)
Metabolizer, Bodymate(TM) Gluco-Eeze, Ultra-Eeze, Vita-Eeze, Beta-Eeze,
Cold-Eezer(R) Plus, Cold-Eezer(R) Cinnamon Gum, Dermaloe first aid antiseptic,
Pain Goes pain spray, Ardor dietary supplement and a wide array of food
supplements and vitamins.
Sun-care and Skincare Products
- ------------------------------
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., is a leading developer and marketer of
all-natural sun and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme parks and spas.
These products are all-natural, eco-safe, and organic, meaning that the need for
petro-chemical, synthetic, and chemical additives used by most competitors has
been eliminated. All-natural ingredients such as aloe vera, rose hip oil,
squalane, Vitamin E, tea tree oil and other natural oils and extracts are used
instead of many synthetic preservatives, fillers and softeners which may have
side-effects.
Caribbean Pacific currently has three distinct product lines: Virgin Sol, Coral
Sol and Sport Sol and is currently developing a spa line called Sabate and a
dry-grip golf product.
Caribbean Pacific markets a line of natural protectors, or "Sol Cremes" that
provide dual protection against the damaging effects of the sun. This product is
available in differing Sun Protection Factors (SPF). Caribbean Pacific also
markets a sunscreen product called "Karibbean Kidz" especially for children,
again containing all natural ingredients found in nature.
Additionally, Caribbean Pacific markets various products rich in essential
nutrients and vitamins necessary for the skin. Products available in this
category are: Black Pearl Ultra Oil, Diamond Rose Dry Tanning Oil and Emerald
Rose Tanning Oil.
Caribbean Pacific has developed an effective combination of natural ingredients
for moisture that include the Aloe Rose Body Creme, a moisturizing lotion, and
the Tea Tree Burn Relief, which cools the skin to sooth the discomfort
associated with burns, insect bites and itching.
Caribbean Pacific also has the capability to make available customized
merchandise, such as beach bags, beach towels etc., which complement the range
of sun-care and skincare products, which it currently markets.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2001, the consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and six-months periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
and the consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six-months periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash
flows, for the periods indicated, have been made.
Darius International Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Quigley Corporation,
was formed in January 2000 to implement alternative methods of marketing and
distribution for existing and new product lines.
During July 2000, the Company acquired a 60 percent ownership position of
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., a leading developer and marketer of
all-natural sun and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme parks and spas.
This acquisition is accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and
accordingly, the operating results have been included in the Company's
consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. This
majority ownership position required a cash investment that approximated
$812,000 and the provision for a $1 million line of credit, secured by
inventory, accounts receivable and all other assets of Caribbean Pacific Natural
Products. The net assets of Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., at the
acquisition date principally consisted of a product license and distribution
rights with no recorded value, inventory and fixed assets of $312,915 and
$510,000 of working capital with a contribution to minority interest of
$329,166.
The 40 percent ownership position representing the minority interest of
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., is reflected in the consolidated
Statements of Operations for their portion of (losses), and the consolidated
Balance Sheet for their ownership portion of accumulated (losses), share of net
assets and capital stock at acquisition date.
On January 2, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of a privately held company involved in the direct marketing and
distribution of health and wellness products. This acquisition required cash
payments that will approximate $242,000 and 50,000 shares of the Company's stock
issued to the former owners of the assets acquired. These cash payments require
an initial payment of $100,000, with the balance to be paid as percent of sales
attained until the total price of $242,000 is accomplished. The net assets
acquired at acquisition principally consisted of intangibles with no recorded
value, inventory and fixed assets of $421,000 and liabilities assumed
approximating $299,000. Also required are continuous payments for the use of
product formulations; consulting; confidentiality and non-compete fees that
total up to 12% on net sales collected until $540,000 is paid, which such fees
become 5% on net sales collected for the continuous applications of these
arrangements. This acquisition is accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, the operating results have been included in the
Company's consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.
The excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, in the Company's Form 10-K.
Revenues for 2000 have been re-classed to reflect the changes required by the
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") that issued EITF No. 00-14, "Accounting for
Coupons, Rebates and Discounts" that addressed accounting for sales incentives.
CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, investments and trade
accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with three major financial
institutions. Since the Company maintains amounts in excess of guarantees
provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, the Company performs
periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial
institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
8
The Company currently uses three separate suppliers to produce Cold-Eeze(R) in
lozenge, bubble gum, and sugar free tablet form. The Bodymate(TM) product and
the Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge are manufactured by a third party manufacturer that
produces exclusively for the Company. The majority of the Company's revenues are
currently generated from the sale of the Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge product. The other
forms are manufactured by third parties that produce a variety of other products
for other customers. Should these relationships terminate or discontinue for any
reason, the Company has formulated a contingency plan in order to prevent such
discontinuance from materially affecting the Company's operations. Any such
termination may, however, result in a temporary delay in production until the
replacement facility is able to meet the Company's production requirements.
Raw material used in the production of the product is available from numerous
sources. Currently, it is being procured from a single vendor in order to secure
purchasing economies. In a situation where this one vendor is not able to supply
the contract manufacturer with the ingredients, other sources have been
identified.
COUPONS, REBATES AND DISCOUNTS
In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF No. 00-14,
"Accounting for Coupons, Rebates and Discounts" that addressed accounting for
sales incentives. The Task Force concluded that in accounting for cash sales
incentives, a manufacturer should recognize the incentive as a reduction of
revenue on the later date of the manufacturer's sale or the date the offer is
made to the public. The reduction of revenues should be measured based on the
estimated amount of incentives to be claimed by the ultimate customers. This
pronouncement was adopted in the first quarter of 2001.
ROYALTIES
The Company includes royalties and founders commissions incurred as cost of
products sold based on agreement terms.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are generally expensed within the period to which they relate.
Advertising costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were
$1,180,102 and $6,552,571, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other
current assets were $494,000 and $419,000 at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
respectively, relating to prepaid advertising and promotion expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are charged to operations in the year incurred.
Expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were $523,032 and
$490,414, respectively. Included in Research and Development is the expenses
incurred as part of the costs related to the application for a pharmacy drug
license in the United Kingdom.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach which requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company
generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes
in the tax law or rates. See Note 5 for disclosure related to this Standard.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires public companies to
report certain information about operating segments within their financial
statements. See Note 3 for disclosure related to this Standard.
NOTE 3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The basis for presenting segment results generally is consistent with overall
Company reporting. The primary difference relates to presentation of
partially-owned operations, which are presented as if owned 100% in the
operating segments. The adjustment to ownership basis is included in Corporate &
Other. In the third quarter of 2000, the Company qualified for the Financial
Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which establishes standards for reporting
information about a company's operating segments.
9
The Company has divided its operations into three reportable segments: The
Quigley Corporation, whose main product is Cold-Eeze(R), a proprietary zinc
gluconate glycine lozenge in the OTC cold remedy category; Darius International,
Inc., whose business is the sale and direct marketing of a range of health and
wellness products and Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., a leading
developer and marketer of all-natural sun and skin care products for luxury
resorts, theme parks and spas.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Since the inception of the stock buy-back program in January 1998, the Board
subsequently increased the authorization on five occasions, for a total
authorized buy-back of 5,000,000 shares or approximately 38% of the previous
shares outstanding. Such shares are reflected as treasury stock and will be
available for general corporate purposes. From the initiation of the plan,
4,159,191 shares have been repurchased at a cost of $24,042,801 or an average
cost of $5.78 per share. There were 30,000 shares repurchased during the first
three months of 2001.
As a result of the litigation relating to the case against Nutritional Foods
Corporation, in March of 1998, a subsequent order of the Court of Common Pleas
of Bucks County modified the decree of January 23, 1997 to provide for a return
to treasury of 604,928 shares to the Company. As payment for legal services,
118,066 of these shares were reissued with a market value of approximately
$1,145,358. This value, the cost of reacquiring these shares, then became the
value of the net treasury stock ($2.35 per share) represented by 486,862 shares
returned to treasury.
At June 30, 2001, there were 4,042,400 unexercised and vested options and
warrants of the Company's stock available for exercise with an additional 75,000
options awarded which are subject to vesting requirements.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
Certain exercises of options and warrants, and restricted stock issued for
services that became unrestricted during various periods, resulted in reductions
to taxes currently payable and a corresponding increase to
additional-paid-in-capital totaling $14,660,288 for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997. The tax benefit effect of option and warrant exercises
during 1999, 2000 and 2001 to date was $928,206, however, this benefit is being
deferred because of a net operating loss carry-forward for tax purposes ("NOLs")
that occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999 from a cumulative effect of
deducting a total value of $42,800,364 attributed to these options, warrants and
unrestricted stock deductions from taxable income during the tax years 1997 and
1998. The net operating loss carry-forwards arising from the option, warrant and
stock activities approximate $10.0 million for federal purposes, of which $3.5
million will expire in 2019, $6.5 million in 2020 and $14.2 million for state
purposes, of which $9.7 million will expire in 2009, $4.5 million in 2010. The
six months periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 losses are reflected at 39% for
both the increase in deferred taxes and the valuation allowance. The overall
effective tax rate for 2001 and 2000 was 0% since profits for tax purposes are
not available.
NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were
exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common
Stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS also utilizes
the treasury stock method that prescribes a theoretical buy-back of shares from
the theoretical proceeds of all options and warrants outstanding during the
period. Since there is a large number of options and warrants outstanding,
fluctuations in the actual market price can have a varying of results for each
period presented. For the periods presented that reflect losses, no effect was
given for options and warrants because the result would be anti-dilutive.
A reconciliation of the applicable numerators and denominators of the income
statement periods presented is as follows (millions, except earnings per share
amounts):
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, 2001 June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 June 30, 2000

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has sales brokerage and other
arrangements with entities whose major stockholders are also stockholders of The
Quigley Corporation, or are related to major stockholders of the Company.
Commissions and other items paid or payable under such arrangements amounted to
approximately $69,000 and $145,000, respectively, for the six-months periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
The Company is in the process of acquiring licenses in certain countries through
related party entities. For the six-months periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
fees amounting to $150,470 and $121,338, respectively, have been paid to a
related entity to assist with the regulatory aspects of obtaining such licenses.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company maintains certain royalty and founders commission agreements with
the developers, licensors, founders, and consultants for the Cold-Eeze(R)
products. These payments are 13% of sales collected less certain deductions. Of
this percentage, a three percent royalty on sales collected less certain
deductions is payable to the patent holder whose agreement expires in 2002, a
three percent royalty of sales collected less certain deductions is payable to
the developer of the product formulation together with a two percent consulting
fee based on an agreement that expires in 2007. Additionally, a founders'
commission is payable totaling 5% of sales collected less certain deductions,
which is shared by two of the officers whose agreements expire in 2005.
Also, required for the acquisition of certain assets of a privately held company
involved in the direct marketing and distribution of health and wellness
products are continuous payments for the use of product formulations;
consulting; confidentiality and non-compete fees that total up to 12% on net
sales collected until $540,000 is paid, which such fees become 5% on net sales
collected for the continuous applications of these arrangements.
The Company has remaining contractual commitments for advertising and other
purchases amounting to approximately $225,000.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims noted in Part II, "Other
Information", Item I, "Legal Proceedings," and claims which have arisen in the
ordinary course of its business. Although there can be no assurance as to the
ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company's
management based upon the information available at this time, that the expected
outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
NOTE 9 - SETTLED LITIGATION
The Quigley Corporation filed a patent infringement suit against Gel Tech, LLC,
the developer of Zicam(TM), and Gum Tech International, Inc., its distributor,
in November 1999. Subsequent motions by the defendants to dismiss Quigley's
lawsuit were denied by the court.
The suit was tried in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. On June 6, 2001, the Company agreed to a minimum settlement in
excess of $1.6 million in its patent infringement suit against Gel Tech, LLC and
Gum Tech International, Inc.
Under the agreement, Gum Tech will pay The Quigley Corporation $1,137,500 for a
limited license for Quigley's patent on the use of zinc gluconate for the
treatment of the duration and symptoms of the common cold. Gum Tech is also
required to pay The Quigley Corporation an ongoing royalty of 5.5 percent from
April 1, 2001 through March 5, 2002 on all Zicam cold relief sales. In addition,
Gum Tech has guaranteed to pay Quigley a minimum of $500,000 in ongoing
royalties regardless of sales through March 5, 2002.
To ensure compliance with the settlement terms, The United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania will retain jurisdiction for any
disputes arising from a violation of the agreement and order.

NOTE 10 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS 141
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141, BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS, which is required for all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001. The standard eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interest method
and improves the accounting and reporting for business combinations. The Company
does not expect that the new standard will have a material effect on the results
of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 142
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS. This standard requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings,
but instead be reviewed for impairment. This change is expected to provide
investors with greater information regarding the economic value of goodwill and
its impact on earnings. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in
fiscal 2003, however early adoption in fiscal 2002 will be permitted. The
Company has not yet determined the impact to its financial statements of
adoption of this standard.

Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
OVERVIEW
Revenues for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2001 were
$4,613,715 and $9,417,589 as compared to $820,149 and $6,227,035 for the
comparable 2000 periods. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 include
an amount of $1,273,864 in the settlement of a lawsuit following the filing by
the Quigley Corporation of a patent infringement suit against Gel Tech, LLC, the
developer of Zicam(TM), and Gum Tech International, Inc., its distributor, in
November 1999. Under the agreement, Gum Tech will pay The Quigley Corporation
$1,137,500 for a limited license for Quigley's patent on the use of zinc
gluconate for the treatment of the duration and symptoms of the common cold. Gum
Tech is also required to pay The Quigley Corporation an ongoing royalty of 5.5
percent from April 1, 2001 through March 5, 2002 on all Zicam cold relief sales.
In addition, Gum Tech has guaranteed to pay Quigley a minimum of $500,000 in
ongoing royalties regardless of sales through March 5, 2002. Legal and other
expenses associated with this lawsuit in the six months period ended June 30,
2001 approximated $480,000.
Darius International, Inc., and Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc.,
contributed combined revenues of $2,333,302 and $3,752,599 for the three and six
months periods ended June 30, 2001 with zero in the comparable 2000 periods.
Darius International commenced shipments to customers during the third quarter
of 2000 and the Company acquired a 60% ownership in Caribbean Pacific Natural
Products, Inc., effective July 1, 2000.
Recent national marketing data indicates an improvement in purchasing of the
Cold-Eeze(R) product by the consumer. Additionally, there are indications that
previous overstocking by customers has been considerably reduced through June
30, 2001.
Cold-Eeze(R) now has more visibility as the original clinically proven zinc
product on the market, effective in reducing the severity and duration of
symptoms of the common cold due to many zinc products exiting the marketplace
during 2000 and 2001. The Company continues to strongly support Cold-Eeze(R) as
the original clinically proven zinc product on the market, effective in reducing
the severity and duration of symptoms of the common cold, and also to counteract
media efforts to discredit its effectiveness.
During 1998 and continuing until the end of the first quarter of 2000, the
Company invested substantially in the radio and television media in order to
inform the consumer as to the benefits of using Cold-Eeze(R) and also to
counteract any misconceptions present in the marketplace relating to the
product's effectiveness in treating the symptoms of the common cold. This
investment was further necessary to establish brand awareness for Cold-Eeze(R)
and also to promote new product introductions of Cold-Eeze(R) sugar free,
Cold-Eeze(R) bubble gum and Bodymate(TM).
The advertising cost approximated $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared with approximately $6.6 million for the comparable period in
2000, substantially contributing to the loss of ($5,575,728) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The loss for the six months periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 are not tax effected for the potential benefit, which cannot be reflected
until the Company returns to profitability.
The Company continues to use the resources of a contract manufacturer and
independent national and international brokers to represent and compliment sales
of the Company's Cold-Eeze(R) products, thereby saving capital and other ongoing
expenditures that would otherwise be incurred.
The Company currently uses three separate suppliers to produce Cold-Eeze(R) in
lozenge, bubble gum, and sugar free tablet form. Other products of the Company
and its subsidiaries are manufactured by third parties that produce a variety of
other products for other customers. Should these relationships terminate or
discontinue for any reason, the Company has formulated a contingency plan in
order to prevent such discontinuance from materially affecting the Company's
operations. Any such
14
termination may, however, result in a temporary delay in production until the
replacement facility is able to meet the Company's production requirements.
Raw material used in the production of certain products are available from
numerous sources. Currently, certain materials are being procured from a single
source vendor in order to secure purchasing economies. In a situation where one
vendor is not able to supply the contract manufacturer with the ingredients,
other sources have been identified. All manufacturing sites have the capacity to
respond quickly to market requirements.
EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------
TIME-BASED AND VOLUME-BASED SALES INCENTIVE OFFERS
In March 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final consensus on Issue
No. 00-22, "Accounting for `Points' and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based
Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered
in the Future" that addresses, among other issues, the accounting requirements
of a vendor for an offer to a customer to rebate or refund a specified amount of
cash that is redeemable only if the customer completes a specified cumulative
level of revenue transactions or remains a customer for a specified period of
time. This Issue was effective for quarters ending after February 15, 2001. The
adoption of this Issue did not have any impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
SFAS 141
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141, BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS, which is required for all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001. The standard eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interest method
and improves the accounting and reporting for business combinations. The Company
does not expect that the new standard will have a material effect on the results
of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 142
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS. This standard requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings,
but instead be reviewed for impairment. This change is expected to provide
investors with greater information regarding the economic value of goodwill and
its impact on earnings. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in
fiscal 2003, however early adoption in fiscal 2002 will be permitted. The
Company has not yet determined the impact to its financial statements of
adoption of this standard.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to three months ended June 30, 2000
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported revenues of
$4,613,715 and a net loss of ($680,443) as compared to revenues of $820,149 and
a net loss of ($1,652,290), for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000.
Revenues for the 2001 period includes an amount of $1,273,864 in the settlement
of a lawsuit following the filing by the Quigley Corporation of a patent
infringement suit against Gel Tech, LLC, the developer of Zicam(TM), and Gum
Tech International, Inc., its distributor, in November 1999. Under the
agreement, Gum Tech will pay The Quigley Corporation $1,137,500 for a limited
license for Quigley's patent on the use of zinc gluconate for the treatment of
the duration and symptoms of the common cold. Gum Tech is also required to pay
The Quigley Corporation an ongoing royalty of 5.5 percent from April 1, 2001
through March 5, 2002 on all Zicam cold relief sales. In addition, Gum Tech has
guaranteed to pay Quigley a minimum of $500,000 in ongoing royalties regardless
of sales through March 5, 2002.
Sales of Cold-Eeze(R) during the second quarter of 2001 were lower than the same
period of 2000 principally due to the unpredictable nature of second quarter
demand as the cold season comes to a conclusion. Recent national marketing data
indicates an improvement in purchasing of the Cold-Eeze(R) product by the
consumer.
As a result of the acquisition of a 60% position in Caribbean Pacific Natural
Products, Inc., effective July 1, 2000 and the commencement of product shipments
from Darius International, Inc., in July 2000, these two entities contributed
$2,333,302 to revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to
zero in the comparable 2000 period.
15
Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales before co-operative advertising
promotions for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 51.2% compared to 31.5%
for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000. The increase in the cost of sales
percentage in 2001 is as a result of the significantly higher cost of sales
associated with the Darius segment of the business. During the second quarter of
2001, Darius sales contributed 46.9% to consolidated sales.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, total operating expenses were
$3,752,746 compared to $2,221,041 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000.
The increased expenditure in 2001 reflects the costs associated with Caribbean
Pacific Natural Products and Darius International, totaling $1,411,624.
Additionally, legal and other expenses associated with the Gum Tech, LLC lawsuit
in the three month period were $465,000.
The advertising cost approximated $140,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared with approximately $600,000 for the comparable period in 2000.
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the major operating expenses of
delivery, salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, advertising, and legal
costs accounted for $2,422,836 (65%) of total operating costs. The remaining
items for this period were of a semi-fixed nature in that they do not strictly
follow sales trends. These expense categories for the comparable period in 2000
accounted for $1,159,399 (52%) of total operating costs.
Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to six months ended June 30, 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported revenues of
$9,417,589 and a net loss of ($1,083,352) as compared to revenues of $6,227,035
and a net loss of ($5,575,728), for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000.
The periods reflect a reduction in Cold-Eeze(R) sales in the six months ended
June 30, 2001, however recent national marketing data indicates an improvement
in purchasing of the Cold-Eeze(R) product by the consumer. Additionally, there
are signs that previous overstocking by customers has been considerably reduced
through June 30, 2001.
Revenues for the first six months of 2001 include an amount of $1,273,864 in the
settlement of a lawsuit following the filing by the Quigley Corporation of a
patent infringement suit against Gel Tech, LLC, the developer of Zicam(TM), and
Gum Tech International, Inc., its distributor, in November 1999. Under the
agreement, Gum Tech will pay The Quigley Corporation $1,137,500 for a limited
license for Quigley's patent on the use of zinc gluconate for the treatment of
the duration and symptoms of the common cold. Gum Tech is also required to pay
The Quigley Corporation an ongoing royalty of 5.5 percent from April 1, 2001
through March 5, 2002 on all Zicam cold relief sales. In addition, Gum Tech has
guaranteed to pay Quigley a minimum of $500,000 in ongoing royalties regardless
of sales through March 5, 2002.
As a result of the acquisition of a 60% position in Caribbean Pacific Natural
Products, Inc., effective July 1, 2000 and the commencement of product shipments
from Darius International, Inc., in July 2000, these two entities contributed
$3,752,599 to revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to zero
in the comparable 2000 period.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales before co-operative advertising
promotions for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 41.0% compared to 33.9%
for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000. The increase in the cost of sales
percentage in 2001 is as a result of the significantly higher cost of sale
associated with the Darius segment of the business. During the six months period
ended June 30, 2001 Darius sales contributed 27.5% to consolidated sales.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, total operating expenses were $7,326,890
compared to $9,451,596 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2000. The
increased expenditure in 2001 reflects the costs associated with Caribbean
Pacific Natural Products and Darius International, totaling $2,376,858.
Additionally, legal and other expenses associated with the Gum Tech, LLC lawsuit
in the six months period ended June 30, 2001 were approximately $480,000.
The advertising cost approximated $1,200,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared with approximately $6.6 million for the comparable period in
2000, substantially contributing to the loss of ($5,575,728) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the major operating expenses of
delivery, salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, advertising, and legal
costs accounted for $4,688,378 (64%) of total operating costs. The remaining
items for this period were of a semi-fixed nature in that they do not strictly
follow sales trends. These expense categories for the comparable period in 2000
accounted for $7,249,191 (77%) of total operating costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The total assets of the Company at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were
$22,959,941 and $26,055,601, respectively. Working capital decreased to
$17,172,682 from $18,622,127 during the period. The significant movement within
total assets represents the reduction in accounts receivable of $2,702,816, cash
and cash equivalents decreased by $2,670,672, prepaid expenses and other current
assets increased by $1,550,481, inventory increased by $419,385. From a working
capital perspective, accounts payable decreased by $447,468 and accrued
royalties and sales commissions decreased over the period by $454,703 while the
advertising accrual decreased by $1,324,610. Total cash balances at June 30,
2001 were $8,695,171, as compared to $11,365,843 at December 31, 2000.
The Company believes that its increased marketing efforts and national publicity
concerning the Cold-Eeze(R) products, the Company's manufacturing availability,
newly available products, further growth in international sales together with
its current working capital should provide an internal source of capital to fund
the Company's business operations. In addition to anticipated funding from
operations, the Company may raise capital through the issuance of equity
securities to finance anticipated growth.
Notwithstanding current period negative cash flows from operations, management
believes amounts of cash on hand as well as those current assets readily
convertible to cash will provide adequate liquidity to support future
operations. Any challenge to the Company's patent rights could have a material
adverse effect on future liquidity of the Company; however, the Company is not
aware of any condition that would make such an event probable.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
- --------------------
Since the Company's and its subsidiary's products of Darius International, Inc.,
and Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., are manufactured for the Company
by outside sources, capital expenditures during the remainder of 2001 are not
anticipated to be material.
