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 that are being offered to the general public. For the
fiscal periods presented, the majority of the Company's revenues come from the
Company's proprietary "Cold-Eeze(R)" products and the Health and Wellness
business segment.
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 in 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-care 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 which is now
Quigley Pharma Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that is under the
direction of its Executive Vice President and Chairman of its Medical Advisory
Committee. The formation of the Company's Ethical Pharmaceutical Unit follows
the Patent Office of The United States Commerce Department confirming the
assignment to the Company of a Patent Application for the "Method and
Composition for the Topical Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy." In September
2001, the Patent Office confirmed the assignment to the Company of a Patent
Application entitled the "Medicinal Composition and Method of Using it" (for
Treatment of Sialorrhea and other Disorders) for a prescription product to
relieve sialorrhea (drooling) in patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. In November 2001, the
Company was assigned a Patent Application entitled "Composition and Method for
Prevention, Reduction and Treatment of Radiation Dermatitis" with the Patent
Office of The United States Commerce Department. The establishment of a
dedicated pharmaceutical subsidiary will enable the Company to diversify into
the prescription drug market and to ensure safe and effective distribution of
these important potential new products currently under development.
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,
6
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 is 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 an exclusive license to a zinc gluconate use
patent, thereby assuring the Company exclusivity in the manufacturing and
marketing of zinc gluconate glycine lozenge formulated cold relief products.
In April 2002, the Company was assigned a Patent Application which was filed
with the Patent Office of the United States Commerce Department for the use of
Cold-Eeze(R) as a prophylactic for cold prevention. The new patent application
follows the results of an adolescent study at the Heritage School facility in
Provo, Utah, that found that the use of Cold-Eeze(R) is effective in preventing
a cold, reduces the use of antibiotics and confirmed that Cold-Eeze(R) reduces
the median duration of a cold by four days.
In the second 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).
Under a Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved Investigational New Drug
Application, filed by Dartmouth College, a randomized double-blind
placebo-controlled study, conducted at Dartmouth College of Health Science,
Hanover, New Hampshire, concluded that the lozenge formulation treatment,
initiated within 48 hours of symptom onset, resulted in a significant reduction
in the total duration of the common cold.
On May 22, 1992, ZINC AND THE COMMON COLD, A CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY, was
published in England, in the "Journal of International Medical Research", Volume
20, Number 3, Pages 234-246. According to this publication, (a) flavorings used
in other Zinc lozenge products (citrate, tartrate, separate, orotate,
picolinate, mannitol or sorbitol) render the Zinc inactive and unavailable to
the patient's nasal passages, mouth and throat, where cold symptoms have to be
treated, (b) this patented pleasant-tasting formulation delivers approximately
93% of the active Zinc to the mucosal surfaces and (c) the patient has the same
sequence of symptoms as in the absence of treatment, but goes through the phases
at an accelerated rate and with reduced symptom severity.
On July 15, 1996, results of a new randomized double-blind placebo-controlled
study on the common cold were published, which commenced at the Cleveland Clinic
Foundation on October 3, 1994. The study called "Zinc Gluconate Lozenges for
Treating the Common Cold" was completed and published in the Annals of Internal
Medicine - Vol. 125 No. 2. Using a 13.3mg lozenge (almost half the strength of
the lozenge used in the Dartmouth Study), the result still showed a 42%
reduction in the duration of the common cold symptoms.
In April 2002, the Company announced the statistical results of a retrospective
clinical study that suggests that Cold-Eeze(R) is also an effective means of
preventing the common cold. This adolescent study indicated that when taken
daily, Cold-Eeze(R) statistically lessens the number of colds an individual
suffers per year, reducing the median from 1.5 to zero. These findings are the
result of analyzing three years of clinical data at the Heritage School facility
in Provo, Utah. The study also found that the use of Cold-Eeze(R) to treat a
cold statistically reduces the use of antibiotics for respiratory illnesses from
39.3% to 3.0% when Cold-Eeze(R) is administered as a first line treatment
approach to the common cold. Additionally, the study reinforces the original
clinical trials, concluding that Cold-Eeze(R) reduces the median duration of a
cold by four days.
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, 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.
7
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.
Ethical Pharmaceutical Products
- -------------------------------
The establishment of an ethical pharmaceutical subsidiary will enable the
Company to diversify into the prescription drug market and to ensure safe and
effective distribution of these important potential new products currently under
development.
Quigley Pharma is currently undergoing research and development activity in
compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company is at the initial stages of
what may be a lengthy process to develop these patent applications into
commercial products.
The formation of the Company's Ethical Pharmaceutical Unit follows the Patent
Office of The United States Commerce Department confirming the assignment to the
Company of the following patent applications:
o A Patent Application for the "Method and Composition for the Topical
Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy."
o In September 2001, the Patent Office confirmed the assignment to the
Company of a Patent Application entitled the "Medicinal Composition and
Method of Using it" (for Treatment of Sialorrhea and other Disorders) for
a product to relieve sialorrhea (drooling) in patients suffering from
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's
Disease.
o In November 2001, the Company was assigned a Patent Application entitled
"Composition and Method for Prevention, Reduction and Treatment of
Radiation Dermatitis" with the Patent Office of The United States Commerce
Department.
The pre-clinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing and
marketing of Quigley Pharma's potential new products are subject to federal and
state regulation in the United States and other countries. Obtaining FDA
regulatory approval for these pharmaceutical products can require substantial
resources and take several years. The length of this process depends on the
type, complexity and novelty of the product and the nature of the disease or
other indications to be treated. If the Company cannot obtain regulatory
approval of these new products in a timely manner, it could have a material
effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.
In April 2002, the Company commenced a Phase II proof of concept study in France
for treatment of diabetic neuropathy. If the study is successful, the Company
will apply for approval by the FDA to begin pivotal Phase III clinical trials.
Because the Company's formulation for relief of diabetes-related pain is a
topical treatment and its ingredients are GRAS listed (Generally Regarded As
Safe) as identified in the Code of Federal Regulations, FDA approval could
potentially be obtained within a two-year period.
In July 2002, the Company announced the commencement of a Phase II clinical
trial on a new formulation being developed and tested by the Company to relieve
Sialorrhea (excess secretions of the salivary glands, causing drooling) in
patients suffering from diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS),
otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson's Disease,
and Muscular Dystrophy.
Health And Wellness Products
- ----------------------------
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. 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. Darius is
a direct selling organization specializing in proprietary health and wellness
products. The products marketed and sold by Darius are herbal vitamins and
dietary supplements for the human condition, in the area of health, immunity,
energy and pain.
8
Sun-care and Skincare Products
- ------------------------------
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., is a leading developer and marketer of
all-natural, eco-safe sun-care and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme
parks and spas. Caribbean Pacific markets a line of natural protectors, or "Sol
Cremes," that provide dual protection against the damaging effects of the sun,
along with various products rich in essential nutrients and vitamins necessary
for the skin.
Caribbean Pacific also has the capability to make available customized
merchandise, which complements the range of sun-care and skincare products that
it currently markets.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2002, the Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and six-months periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Condensed) for the six-months
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, 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. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002
presentation.
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Effective July 1, 2000, the Company acquired a 60 percent ownership position in
Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., which is accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting and accordingly, the operating results have been included
in the Company's consolidated financial Statements 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 at the
acquisition date principally consisted of a product license and distribution
rights, inventory and fixed assets of $312,915 and $510,000 of working capital
with a contribution to minority interest of $329,166.
In the past, the 40 percent ownership position representing the minority
interest has been reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
their portion of losses, and in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for their
ownership portion of accumulated losses, share of net assets and capital stock
at acquisition date. At June 30, 2002, accumulated losses associated with
minority interest have reduced minority interest to zero on the Balance Sheet,
with excess losses amounting to $177,365 being absorbed in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations in 2002 and 2001, by the Company.
On January 2, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of a privately held company, located in Utah, involved in the direct
marketing and distribution of health and wellness products. This acquisition
required cash payments that approximated $110,000 and 50,000 shares of the
Company's stock issued to the former owners of the net assets acquired. The net
assets acquired at acquisition principally consisted of intangibles, inventory,
accounts receivable, bank balances and fixed assets totaling $536,000 and
liabilities assumed approximating $416,000. Also required are continuous
payments for the use of product formulations; consulting; confidentiality and
non-compete fees that are 12% on net sales collected until $540,000 is paid,
then becoming 5% on net sales collected for the continuous applications of these
arrangements. During March 2002, the payout level of $540,000 was achieved,
whereupon the rate became 5%. 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 has been amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. Subsequent to 2001, the account
will only be reduced if the value becomes impaired.
PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the
9
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents include cash on hand and monies invested in money market funds. The
carrying amount approximates the fair market value due to the short-term
maturity of these investments.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of determining cost for all inventories.
Inventories are primarily comprised of finished goods.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company uses a
combination of straight-line and accelerated methods in computing depreciation
for financial reporting purposes. The annual provision for depreciation has been
computed in accordance with the following ranges of estimated asset lives:
building and improvements - twenty years; machinery and equipment - five to
seven years; computer software - three years; and furniture and fixtures - seven
years.
PATENT RIGHTS AND INTANGIBLES
Patent rights have been amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of
the related licensing agreements, which approximated 67 months. Amortization
costs incurred for the six months periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were
$21,940 and $43,880, respectively. At March 31, 2002, this item was fully
amortized.
Prior to January 1, 2002, the excess of cost over net assets acquired has been
subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.
In June 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was issued by
the FASB. SFAS No. 142 changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization
method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill, including
goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased upon adoption of this
statement. The Company implemented SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002.
Following the adoption of Statement 142, the amortization expense, net loss and
earnings per-share of The Quigley Corporation for the three months and six
months periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30

Subsequent to 2001, excess of cost over net assets will only be reduced if the
value becomes impaired.
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.
Trade accounts receivable potentially subjects the Company to credit risk. The
Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the
customer's financial condition and credit history and generally does not require
collateral. The Company has historically incurred minimal credit losses. The
Company's broad range of customers includes many large wholesalers, mass
merchandisers and multi-outlet pharmacy chains, five of which account for 14%
and 25% of sales volume, for the six months periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
The Company currently uses three separate suppliers to produce Cold-Eeze(R) in
lozenge, bubble gum, and sugar-free tablet form. A significant portion of the
Company's revenue is currently generated from the sale of the Cold-Eeze(R)
product. The lozenge form is manufactured by a third party manufacturer that
produces predominantly for the Company. 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.
Quigley Pharma was formed in 2001 for the purpose of developing prescription
drug products. These potential new products are based on patent applications
that the Company has acquired. The Company's potential products are currently
undergoing research and testing and will require substantial resources to
develop these applications into commercial products. The successful conclusion
of such research is dependent on regulatory approval and may take several years.
Darius' products for resale are sourced from several suppliers. In the event
that such sources were no longer in a position to supply Darius with products,
other vendors have been identified as reliable alternatives, which could result
in a temporary delay in production or a minimal adverse loss of business.
Currently, the principal finished products relating to Caribbean Pacific Natural
Products are being manufactured and blended by a single vendor. In the event of
difficulties with the current sources of raw material or finished product, other
suppliers have been identified. However, this could result in a temporary delay
in production.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of." The statement retains the previously existing accounting
requirements related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of
long-lived assets to be held and used while expanding the measurement
requirements of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale to include
discontinued operations. It also expands the previously existing reporting
requirements for discontinued operations to include a component of an entity
that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. The Company
implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The implementation of SFAS 144 did
not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment on an exception basis
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the assets may not be recoverable through future cash flows. If it is determined
11
that an impairment loss has occurred, such loss will be recognized in the
Statement of Operations as the difference between the carrying amount and fair
value of the asset.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer.
Provisions for estimated product returns are accrued in the period of sale
recognition.
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 fiscal 2001.
In August 2001, the EITF issued EITF No. 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration
Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" that
codified and reconciled EITF No. 00-14, 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" and No. 00-25, "Vendor
Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the
Vendor's Products." EITF No. 01-09 addresses the accounting for consideration
given by a vendor to a customer. The Task Force concluded that cash
consideration (including a sales incentive) given by a vendor to a customer is
presumed to be a reduction of the selling prices of the vendor's products and,
therefore, should be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in
the vendor's income statement. That presumption is overcome and the
consideration should be characterized as a cost incurred if, and to the extent
that, a benefit is or will be received from the recipient of the consideration
that meets both of the following conditions: (1) The vendor receives, or will
receive, an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in return for the
consideration. The identified benefit must be sufficiently separable from the
recipient's purchase of the vendor's products such that the vendor could have
entered into an exchange transaction with a party other than a purchaser of its
products in order to receive that benefit; (2) The vendor can reasonably
estimate the fair value of the benefit identified. This pronouncement was
adopted in the first quarter of 2002.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Product sales relating to Health and Wellness and Sun-care and Skincare products
carry an additional identifiable shipping and handling charge which is
classified as revenue. For cold remedy products, such costs are included as part
of the invoiced price. In all cases costs related to this revenue are recorded
in costs of goods sold.
STOCK COMPENSATION
Stock options and warrants for purchase of the Company's common stock have been
granted to both employees and non-employees since the date of the Company's
public inception. Options and warrants are exercisable during a period
determined by the Company, but in no event later than ten years from the date
granted.
The Company's policy for stock and option grants follows APB No. 25 and FASB 123
which clarifies the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25,
criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan,
the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a
previously fixed option or award, and the accounting for an exchange of share
compensation awards in a business combination, among others. Under the intrinsic
value method prescribed by APB No. 25, the Company has recorded no compensation
expense relating to option grants to employees in periods reported.
Expense relating to warrants granted to non-employees has been appropriately
recorded in the periods presented based on either fair values agreed upon with
the grantees or fair values as determined by the Black Scholes pricing model
dependent upon the circumstances relating to the specific grants.
ROYALTIES
The Company includes royalties and founders commissions incurred as cost of
products sold based on agreement terms.
12
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed within the period to which they relate.
Advertising expense is made up of media advertising, presented as part of sales
and marketing expense; co-operative advertising, which is accounted for as a
deduction from sales; and free product, which is accounted for as part of cost
of sales. Advertising costs incurred for the six months periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 were $943,021 and $1,180,102, respectively. Included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets was $240,000 and $419,000 at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, 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 periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
$1,231,401 and $523,032, respectively. Principally, the increase of research and
development costs in 2002 was due to expenses incurred as part of the product
research costs related to Quigley Pharma and study costs associated with
Cold-Eeze(R). Quigley Pharma is currently involved in research activity
following patent applications that the Company has acquired and such research
and development costs relating to potential products are expected to increase
significantly over time as product research and testing progresses.
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 further discussion.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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, 2001,
in the Company's Form 10-K.
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.
The Company has divided its operations into four reportable segments: The
Quigley Corporation (Cold Remedy Products), whose main product is Cold-Eeze(R),
a proprietary zinc gluconate glycine lozenge for the common cold; Darius (Health
and Wellness) whose business is the sale and direct marketing of a range of
health and wellness products; Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. (Sun-care
and Skincare Products), a leading developer and marketer of all-natural sun-care
and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme parks and spas and Quigley
Pharma (Ethical Pharmaceutical Products), currently involved in research and
development activity to develop patent applications into commercial
pharmaceutical products.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Since the inception of the stock buy-back program in January 1998, the Board has
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.
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.
On April 9, 2002, The Quigley Corporation entered into an agreement with
Forrester Financial LLC, ("Forrester") providing for Forrester to act as a
financial consultant to the Company. The consulting agreement commenced on March
7, 2002 and has a term of twelve months, but may be terminated by the Company in
its sole discretion at any time. As compensation for services to be provided by
Forrester to the Company, the Company granted to Forrester, or its designees,
warrants to purchase up to a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The warrants have three distinct exercise prices, 500,000 warrants are
exercisable at $6.50 per share, 250,000 warrants are exercisable at $8.50 per
share, and 250,000 warrants are exercisable at $11.50 per share. The warrants
are exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) March 6, 2003 or (ii) the
termination of the Consulting Agreement. In the six months ended June 30, 2002,
the Company recorded an expense of $700,000 relating to the grant. In May 2002,
Forrester Financial exercised 500,000 warrants at an exercise price of $6.50 per
share resulting in cash received by the Company in the amount of $3,250,000 with
a correlating increase to additional paid-in-capital.
At June 30, 2002, there were 3,803,000 unexercised and vested options and
warrants of the Company's stock available for exercise.
15
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
Certain exercises of options and warrants, and restricted stock issued for
services that became unrestricted resulted in reductions to taxes currently
payable and a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in-capital for years
prior to 1999. The tax benefit effects of option and warrant exercises during
the period 1999 to 2002 were $1,756,383. However, these benefits were deferred
because of a net operating loss carry-forward for tax purposes ("NOLs") that
occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999, resulting 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 $12.7 million for federal tax purposes, of
which $3.5 million will expire in 2019, $9.2 million in 2020 and thereafter; and
$17.9 million for state purposes, of which $9.7 million will expire in 2009,
$3.3 million in 2010 and $4.9 million in 2011 and thereafter. Until sufficient
taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to
operations and the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock
activities are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax
asset is being provided.
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 are 3,803,000 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

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 $33,525 and $69,000 respectively, for the six-months periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001.
The Company is in the process of acquiring licenses in certain countries through
related party entities. For the six-months periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
fees amounting to $140,993 and $150,470, 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. Up to March 5, 2002, these payments were 13% of sales collected less
certain deductions and thereafter at 10%. Of the 13%, up to March 2002, a three
percent royalty on sales collected less certain deductions was payable to the
patent holder whose agreement expired on March 5, 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 are 5% on net sales
collected for the continuous applications of these arrangements.
On April 9, 2002, The Quigley Corporation entered into an agreement with
Forrester Financial LLC, providing for Forrester to act as a financial
consultant to the Company. The consulting agreement commenced on March 7, 2002
and has a term of twelve months, but may be terminated by the Company in its
sole discretion at any time. As compensation for services to be provided by
Forrester to the Company, the Company granted to Forrester, or its designees,
warrants to purchase up to a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at three specific exercise prices. The warrants are exercisable until the
earlier to occur of (i) March 6, 2003 or (ii) the termination of the Consulting
Agreement. In the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded an
expense of $700,000 relating to the grant. In May 2002, Forrester Financial
exercised 500,000 warrants at an exercise price of $6.50 per share resulting in
cash received by the Company in the amount of $3,250,000.
The Company has anticipated commitments for advertising and other purchases
amounting to approximately $1,400,000.
A Special Meeting of the Quigley stockholders was held on October 15, 1999, at
which a majority of the shares entitled to vote adopted a Corrective Action
Proposal (initially reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
June 30, 1999) to ratify actions previously taken by the Company relating to the
1990 1 for 2.74 reverse split, the 1995 1 for 10 reverse split (the "Reverse
Splits") and the 1997 1 for 2 forward split (the "Forward Split"). Pursuant to
the October 15, 1999 Special Meeting, the Company authorized the filing of a
declaratory judgment action in Nevada to determine the effectiveness of the
Corrective Action.
In August 2000, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, held that it had
jurisdiction to decide the Company's declaratory judgment action filed in April,
2000, against two putative shareholders (Thomas Goldblum and Alan Wayne), in
which the Company seeks a judicial declaration that, based on stockholder
approval of the Corrective Action Proposal, the Reverse Splits and Forward Split
satisfy and/or comply with Nevada law and that the capitalization of Quigley
evidenced by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and common stock
warrants is as reflected on Quigley's stock transfer ledger on September 10,
1999, the record date of the Special Meeting. The District Court of Clark County
held a hearing on this matter on March 19, 2002 and ruled in favor of The
Quigley Corporation. A final judgment has been entered of record by the Court on
June 21, 2002. The period for appeal of this order to the Nevada Supreme Court
has expired.
17
An underlying claim filed by Goldblum and Wayne in the Court of Common Pleas of
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on March 17, 1996 alleging that the plaintiffs
became owners of 500,000 shares each of the Company's common stock in or about
1990 and requested damages in excess of $100,000 for breach of contract and
conversion.
The Company is vigorously defending this lawsuit and has denied any liability to
the plaintiffs. The Company also believes that the plaintiffs' claims are barred
by the applicable statutes of limitations, and that the plaintiffs are, in any
event, limited to claims for approximately 36,000 shares. The Company continues
to believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit but certain pre-trial
discovery remains incomplete and no prediction can be made as to the outcome of
this case.
An action was filed by Intervention, Inc. on July 2, 2002 in Contra Costa County
Superior Court under the California Unfair Competition Law, Business and
Professions Code, Section 17200. The Complaint claims that COLD-EEZE(R) does not
contain ionic zinc and therefore does not have the unique quality the Company
asserts for it. The Complaint purports to attack The Cleveland Clinic Study
titled Zinc Gluconate Lozenges for Treating the Common Cold and the Dartmouth
Study, Zinc Gluconate and The Common Cold: A Controlled Clinical Study. The
plaintiff claims that the Dartmouth Study is not double-blind and is not
randomized. The plaintiff also claims that The Cleveland Clinic Study is untrue
and deceptive because it did not conclude that patients "starting treatments"
with zinc had a 42% reduction in duration of the common cold and, also, because
the 42% reduction in common cold duration is not a reference to average of cold
duration but rather is a reference to the reduction in median duration. There is
also a claim by the plaintiff that there is an implied claim that the results in
the studies have been confirmed by repetition which plaintiff contests.
The plaintiff is requesting attorney's fees and costs, corrective equitable
relief including restitution and an injunction.
The Company believes plaintiff's claim is completely without merit, has no
scientific basis and is vigorously defending the lawsuit and has denied any
liability to the plaintiff. Certain pre-trial discovery and motions remain to be
completed and no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.
On April 12, 2002, the Company commenced a complaint in Equity in the Court of
Common Pleas of Bucks County against the former President of Darius
International Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, following termination of such
President. The allegations in the complaint include, but are not limited to, an
alleged breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company. The Company is seeking
both injunctive and monetary relief. On or about May 1, 2002, the defendant
filed a counterclaim requesting that the Court declare him the lawful owner of
55,000 stock options, unspecified damages relating to an alleged breach of an
oral contract and for commissions allegedly owed. In addition, the Defendant
requests the return of certain intellectual property used to commence and
continue Darius' operations.
The Corporation believes Defendant's claims are without merit, is vigorously
defending the counterclaims and is prosecuting its action on its complaint. No
assessment as to the outcome of this action can be made at this time.
NOTE 9 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS 143
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. The Company is required to implement SFAS No.
143 on January 1, 2003. Management does not expect this statement to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the
date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release
the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements. The Company is
subject to a variety of factors more fully described in the 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, 2002 were
$5,729,073 and $11,387,344, respectively, as compared to $4,589,583 and
$9,295,051 for the comparable 2001 periods. Revenue for the six months periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 include an amount of $148,866 and $1,273,864,
respectively, relating to licensing fees from 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 agreed to
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 was 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 receipts. In addition, Gum Tech
guaranteed to pay Quigley a minimum of $500,000 in ongoing royalties regardless
of sales receipts through March 5, 2002, that actually totaled $557,957 for the
period. Legal and other expenses associated with this lawsuit approximated
$700,000.
Darius International, Inc., and Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., had
combined revenues for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2002 of
$4,615,356 and $7,494,838 with the comparable 2001 revenues being $2,333,302 and
$3,752,599, respectively. The increased revenues for these entities reflect
improved performance from the Company's diversification strategy that started in
the second half of 2000 into other Health and Wellness and Sun-Care and Skincare
business segments to augment the Company's core business of cold remedy products
where the majority of these revenues generally result during the second half of
the year.
Net sales of the Cold-Eeze(R) products were reduced in the six months period
ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable 2001 period by approximately $525,000.
Consumer demand for cold remedies generally was reduced during the past cold
season despite the increase in the incidence of illnesses during the period.
Additionally, due to the weakness in the economy our customers are better
managing inventory levels which impacts the size and frequency of the
Cold-Eeze(R) orders placed.
The Company continues to support Cold-Eeze(R) through ongoing co-operative
advertising with our customers with strong promotional activity at store level
and directly with our consumer at the point of purchase.
The consolidated Gross Profit margin was reduced in 2002 due to the licensing
fee income in 2001 along with the higher proportion of sales attributable to
Darius, the products of which carry a lower margin compared to the other
business segments of the Company.
Net loss for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2002 was $1,450,220
and $3,150,988, respectively, the comparative 2001 net loss was $680,443 and
$1,083,352. Net loss in 2002 increased during the second quarter and during the
first six months as a result of additional research and development costs
associated with Quigley Pharma and other clinical studies; fees associated with
consulting duties; and the decrease in net licensing fees from settled
litigation that occurred during the second quarter of 2001. These additional
losses were mitigated by net profits reflected in 2002 from the Health and
Wellness business segment.
The Company continues to use the resources of contract manufacturers 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.
19
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 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
- ------------------------------------------
SFAS 143
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. The Company is required to implement SFAS No.
143 on January 1, 2003. Management does not expect this statement to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------
As previously described, the Company is engaged in the development,
manufacturing, and marketing of health and homeopathic products that are being
offered to the general public. Due to the nature of the business, it is unlikely
that any accounting policies, that are open to interpretation, could have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations. Certain key accounting
policies that may affect the results of the Company are the timing of revenue
recognition and sales incentives (including coupons, rebates and discounts); the
classification of advertising expenses; and the fact that all research and
development expenses are expensed as incurred. Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements describes the Company's other significant accounting
policies.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer.
Provisions for estimated product returns are accrued in the period of sale
recognition.
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 fiscal 2001.
In August 2001, the EITF issued EITF No. 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration
Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" that
codified and reconciled EITF No. 00-14, 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" and No. 00-25, "Vendor
Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the
Vendor's Products." EITF No. 01-09 addresses the accounting for consideration
given by a vendor to a customer. The Task Force concluded that cash
20
consideration (including a sales incentive) given by a vendor to a customer is
presumed to be a reduction of the selling prices of the vendor's products and,
therefore, should be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in
the vendor's income statement. That presumption is overcome and the
consideration should be characterized as a cost incurred if, and to the extent
that, a benefit is or will be received from the recipient of the consideration
that meets both of the following conditions: (1) The vendor receives, or will
receive, an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in return for the
consideration. The identified benefit must be sufficiently separable from the
recipient's purchase of the vendor's products such that the vendor could have
entered into an exchange transaction with a party other than a purchaser of its
products in order to receive that benefit; (2) The vendor can reasonably
estimate the fair value of the benefit identified. This pronouncement was
adopted in the first quarter of 2002.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed within the period to which they relate.
Advertising expense is made up of media advertising, presented as part of sales
and marketing expense; co-operative advertising, which is accounted for as a
deduction from sales; and free product, which is accounted for as part of cost
of sales. Advertising costs incurred for the six months periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 were $943,021 and $1,180,102, respectively. Included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets was $240,000 and $419,000 at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, 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 periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
$1,231,401 and $523,032, respectively. Principally, the increase of research and
development costs in 2002 was due to expenses incurred as part of the product
research costs related to Quigley Pharma and study costs associated with
Cold-Eeze(R). Quigley Pharma is currently involved in research activity
following patent applications that the Company has acquired and such research
and development costs relating to potential products are expected to increase
significantly over time as product research and testing progresses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to three months ended June 30, 2001
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of
$5,729,073 and a net loss of $1,450,220 as compared to revenues of $4,589,583
and a net loss of $680,443, for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001.
Cold-Eeze(R) sales were reduced in 2002 due to the variable nature of consumer
demand in the off-peak cough/cold season. In this economy, it appears that our
customers are managing their inventory levels to achieve maximum efficiencies
resulting in reduced order frequency. Darius and Caribbean Pacific had
consolidated sales in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 of
$4,615,356 and $2,333,302, respectively, reflecting the effectiveness of the
Company's diversification strategy to augment the Company's core business of
cold remedy products where the majority of these revenues generally result
during the second half of the year.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales before co-operative advertising
promotions for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was 61.6% compared to 52.5%
for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001. The 2002 results reflect a higher
cost of sales due to the greater proportion of sales represented by Darius in
2002 (67% of consolidated 2002 sales as compared to 46.8% of consolidated 2001
sales). The Darius cost of goods is significantly higher relative to
Cold-Eeze(R) and Caribbean Pacific products, thereby increasing the overall 2002
percentage.
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, total operating expenses were
$3,598,841 compared to $3,686,357 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001.
The 2002 expenditures reflects increased clinical trial costs associated with
Quigley Pharma of approximately $209,000, along with additional Cold-Eeze(R)
trial and study costs approximating $175,000. Comparative operating expenses
were affected by the legal costs, approximating $700,000, incurred in 2001 in
relation to the lawsuit with Gel Tech, LLC.
As compared to 2001, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
negatively impacted by the reduction in net licensing fees from settled
litigation along with increased research and development costs primarily
associated with Quigley Pharma and other clinical studies.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the major operating expenses of
salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, media advertising, and legal costs
accounted for $2,018,714 (56%) of total operating costs. These expense
categories for the comparable period in 2001 accounted for $2,422,836 (65%) of
total operating costs. The remaining items for the periods were of a semi-fixed
nature in that they do not strictly follow sales trends.
Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to six months ended June 30, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of
$11,387,344 and a net loss of $3,150,988 as compared to revenues of $9,295,051
and a net loss of $1,083,352, for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001.
Cold-Eeze(R) sales were reduced in 2002 due to a slowdown in demand despite
increases in cough/cold illnesses. The diversification strategy that the Company
started in 2000 into other Health and Wellness and Sun-Care and Skincare
business segments made a significant contribution to revenues with these
segments having combined revenues of $7,494,838 as compared to $3,752,599 for
the same period 2001. This diversification augments the Company's core business
of cold remedy products where the majority of these revenues generally result
during the second half of the year. 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.
Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales before co-operative advertising
promotions for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 54.6% compared to 42.6%
for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001. The 2002 results reflect a higher
cost of sales due to the greater proportion of sales represented by Darius in
2002 (54% of consolidated 2002 sales as compared to 27.5% of consolidated 2001
22
sales). The Darius cost of goods is significantly higher relative to
Cold-Eeze(R) and Caribbean Pacific products, thereby increasing the overall
percentage.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, total operating expenses were $8,259,152
compared to $7,066,378 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2001. The 2002
expenditures reflects increased research and development costs associated with
Quigley Pharma of approximately $450,000, along with additional Cold-Eeze(R)
trial and study costs approximating $90,000. Comparative operating expenses were
affected by reduced legal costs in 2002 of approximately $450,000, however, 2002
administration costs included a charge of $700,000 relating to the granting of
1,000,000 warrants to Forrester Financial, LLC in March 2002 providing for
Forrester to act as a financial consultant to the Company.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was negatively impacted by the
reduced net licensing fees that commenced during the second quarter of 2001,
increased research and development costs in 2002 primarily associated with
Quigley Pharma and other clinical studies and fees in 2002 associated with
consulting services.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the major operating expenses of
salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, media advertising, and legal costs
accounted for $5,246,452 (63.5%) of total operating costs. These expense
categories for the comparable period in 2001 accounted for $4,688,378 (66%) of
total operating costs. The remaining items for the periods were of a semi-fixed
nature in that they do not strictly follow sales trends.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The total assets of the Company at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were
$24,743,514 and $24,755,795, respectively. Working capital increased to
$19,077,178 from $18,625,819 during the period. The significant movement within
total assets represents the decrease in accounts receivable of $2,640,884, cash
and cash equivalents increased by $3,098,326, prepaid expenses and other current
assets decreased by $656,759, inventory increased by $112,383. From a working
capital perspective, accounts payable increased by $1,334 and accrued royalties
and sales commissions decreased over the period by $539,002 while the
advertising accrual decreased by $434,275. Total cash balances at June 30, 2002
were $12,839,166, as compared to $9,740,840 at December 31, 2001. In June 2002,
Forrester Financial, LLC exercised 500,000 warrants at an exercise price of
$6.50 per share, resulting in cash received by the Company in the amount of
$3,250,000.
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, 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 previous 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 products are manufactured by outside sources, capital
expenditures during the remainder of 2002 are not anticipated to be material.

Part II. Other Information
--------------------------
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
GOLDBLUM AND WAYNE
A Special Meeting of the Quigley stockholders was held on October 15, 1999, at
which a majority of the shares entitled to vote adopted a Corrective Action
Proposal (initially reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
June 30, 1999) to ratify actions previously taken by the Company relating to the
1990 1 for 2.74 reverse split, the 1995 1 for 10 reverse split (the "Reverse
Splits") and the 1997 1 for 2 forward split (the "Forward Split"). Pursuant to
the October 15, 1999 Special Meeting, the Company authorized the filing of a
declaratory judgment action in Nevada to determine the effectiveness of the
Corrective Action.
In August 2000, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, held that it had
jurisdiction to decide the Company's declaratory judgment action filed in April,
2000, against two putative shareholders (Thomas Goldblum and Alan Wayne), in
which the Company seeks a judicial declaration that, based on stockholder
approval of the Corrective Action Proposal, the Reverse Splits and Forward Split
satisfy and/or comply with Nevada law and that the capitalization of Quigley
evidenced by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and common stock
warrants is as reflected on Quigley's stock transfer ledger on September 10,
1999, the record date of the Special Meeting. The District Court of Clark County
held a hearing on this matter on March 19, 2002 and ruled in favor of The
Quigley Corporation. A final judgment has been entered of record by the Court on
June 21, 2002. The period for appeal of this order to the Nevada Supreme Court
has expired.
An underlying claim filed by Goldblum and Wayne in the Court of Common Pleas of
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on March 17, 1996 alleging that the plaintiffs
became owners of 500,000 shares each of the Company's common stock in or about
1990 and requested damages in excess of $100,000 for breach of contract and
conversion.
The Company is vigorously defending this lawsuit and has denied any liability to
the plaintiffs. The Company also believes that the plaintiffs' claims are barred
by the applicable statutes of limitations, and that the plaintiffs are, in any
event, limited to claims for approximately 36,000 shares. The Company continues
to believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit but certain pre-trial
discovery remains incomplete and no prediction can be made as to the outcome of
this case.
INTERVENTION, INC.
An action was filed by Intervention, Inc. on July 2, 2002 in Contra Costa County
Superior Court under the California Unfair Competition Law, Business and
Professions Code, Section 17200. The Complaint claims that COLD-EEZE(R) does not
contain ionic zinc and therefore does not have the unique quality the Company
asserts for it. The Complaint purports to attack The Cleveland Clinic Study
titled Zinc Gluconate Lozenges for Treating the Common Cold and the Dartmouth
Study, Zinc Gluconate and The Common Cold: A Controlled Clinical Study. The
plaintiff claims that the Dartmouth Study is not double-blind and is not
randomized. The plaintiff also claims that The Cleveland Clinic Study is untrue
and deceptive because it did not conclude that patients "starting treatments"
with zinc had a 42% reduction in duration of the common cold and, also, because
the 42% reduction in common cold duration is not a reference to average of cold
duration but rather is a reference to the reduction in median duration. There is
also a claim by the plaintiff that there is an implied claim that the results in
the studies have been confirmed by repetition which plaintiff contests.
The plaintiff is requesting attorney's fees and costs, corrective equitable
relief including restitution and an injunction.
The Company believes plaintiff's claim is completely without merit, has no
scientific basis and is vigorously defending the lawsuit and has denied any
liability to the plaintiff. Certain pre-trial discovery and motions remain to be
completed and no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.
24
LITIGATION - FORMER EMPLOYEE
On April 12, 2002, the Company commenced a complaint in Equity in the Court of
Common Pleas of Bucks County against the former President of Darius
International Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, following termination of such
President. The allegations in the complaint include, but are not limited to, an
alleged breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company. The Company is seeking
both injunctive and monetary relief. On or about May 1, 2002, the defendant
filed a counterclaim requesting that the Court declare him the lawful owner of
55,000 stock options, unspecified damages relating to an alleged breach of an
oral contract and for commissions allegedly owed. In addition, the Defendant
requests the return of certain intellectual property used to commence and
continue Darius' operations.
The Corporation believes Defendant's claims are without merit, is vigorously
defending the counterclaims and is prosecuting its action on its complaint. No
assessment as to the outcome of this action can be made at this time.
