PART I

ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS

Business Development

The Company, headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health products which comprise the Cold Remedy and Contract Manufacturing segments.  The Company is also involved in the research and development of potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use, which comprise the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.

Cold-EezeÒ is one of the Company’s key cold remedy OTC products whose benefits are derived from its proprietary zinc formulation.  The product’s effectiveness has been substantiated in two double-blind clinical studies proving that Cold-EezeÒ reduces the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms by nearly half. The Cold Remedy segment, where Cold-EezeÒ is represented, is reviewed regularly to realize any new consumer opportunities in flavor, convenience and packaging to help improve market share for the Cold-EezeÒ product.   Additionally, the Company is constantly active in exploring and developing new products consistent with its brand image and standard of proven consumer benefit.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of JoEl, Inc., the previous manufacturer of the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product assuring a future manufacturing capability necessary to support the business of the Cold Remedy segment.  This manufacturing entity, now called Quigley Manufacturing Inc. (“QMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company operates from two locations, Elizabethtown, PA, and Lebanon, PA.  The location at Lebanon manufacturers the Company’s Cold-Eeze lozenge product, and is responsible for warehousing, shipping and such operational tasks for this product and related cold remedy products.  The Elizabethtown facility produces a variety of hard and organic candy for sale to third party customers in addition to performing contract manufacturing activities for non-related entities.  On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location of QMI and discontinue the hard candy business resulting in the consolidation of manufacturing operations at the Lebanon location.  This consolidation will have no impact on the production or distribution of the Cold-EezeÒ brand of cold remedy products.      

In January 2001, the Company formed an Ethical Pharmaceutical segment, Quigley Pharma Inc. (“Pharma”), that is under the direction of its Executive Vice President and Chairman of its Medical Advisory Committee.  Pharma was formed for the purpose of developing potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use.  Pharma is currently undergoing research and      development activity in compliance with regulatory requirements. At this time, thirteen U.S. and twenty foreign patents have   been   issued   and  assigned to the Company resulting from research activity of Pharma.  In certain instances where a critical mass of positive scientific data has been established for compounds that the Company does not envision bringing to market, or is unable to fund ongoing research, it may decide to sell or license its technology.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius International Inc. (“Darius”) to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  See discussion in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of Business Operations

Since its inception, the Company has continued to conduct research and development into various types of health-related supplements and homeopathic cold remedies.  Initially, the Company’s business was the marketing and distribution of a line of nutritious health supplements (hereinafter “Nutri-Bars”).  During 1995, the Company reduced the marketing emphasis of Nutri-Bars and commenced focusing its research and development and marketing resources on the Company’s patented Cold-EezeÒ zinc gluconate glycine cold relief products.

Prior to the fourth quarter 1996, the Company had minimal revenues and as a result suffered continued losses due to ongoing research and development and operating expenses. However, 1997 resulted in significant revenue increases as a result of the Company’s nationwide marketing campaign and the increased public awareness through media public service announcements of the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product.

Since June 1996, the Cold Remedy segment has concentrated its business operations on the manufacturing, marketing and development of its proprietary Cold-EezeÒ cold-remedy lozenge products and on development of various product extensions.  These products are based upon a proprietary zinc gluconate glycine formula, which has been proven to reduce the duration and severity of common cold symptoms.  The Quigley Corporation acquired worldwide  manufacturing  and  distribution  rights  to  this formulation in 1992 and commenced national marketing in 1996.  The demand for the Company’s cold-remedy products is seasonal, where the third and fourth quarters generally represent the largest sales volume.  Prior to October 1, 2004, the manufacture of the lozenge form of Cold-EezeÒ was outsourced.  Since that date, the lozenge form of Cold-EezeÒ has been manufactured by a subsidiary of the Company, QMI. On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location of QMI and discontinue the hard candy business resulting in the consolidation of manufacturing operations at the Lebanon location.  This consolidation will have no impact on the production or distribution of the Cold-EezeÒ brand of cold remedy products, which will continue to be produced and distributed from the Lebanon, PA location.

Pharma is currently involved in the lengthy process of conducting research and development on certain of its patented  formulations in compliance with FDA regulations required for bringing prescriptions and botanical drugs to market.  The Company is in the initial stages of what may be a lengthy process to develop these patent applications into potential commercial products.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  See discussion in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2008, 2007 and 2006, approximately 0% of the Company’s net sales, for all periods, were related to international markets.

Financial information regarding the Company’s operating segments is set forth in Item 8, Notes to Financial Statements, Note 16 – Segment Information.

Products

Cold-Remedy Products

In May 1992, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement for worldwide representation, manufacturing, marketing of Cold-EezeÒ products in the United States.  Cold-EezeÒ, a zinc gluconate glycine formulation (ZIGG™), is an over-the-counter consumer product used to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold and is available in lozenge, sugar-free tablet and gum form.  The Company has substantiated the effectiveness of Cold-EezeÒ through a variety of studies.  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.
 
-3-

 
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 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, which commenced at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation on October 3, 1994, were published.  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 common cold symptoms.

In April 2002, the Company announced the statistical results of a retrospective clinical adolescent study at the Heritage School facility in Provo, Utah that suggests that Cold-EezeÒ is also an effective means of preventing the common cold and statistically (a) lessens the number of colds an individual suffers per year, reducing the median from 1.5 to zero and (b) reduces the use of antibiotics for respiratory illnesses from 39.3% to 3.0% when Cold-EezeÒ is administered as a first line treatment approach to the common cold.

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-EezeÒ as a prophylactic for cold prevention.  The new patent application follows the results of the adolescent study at the Heritage School facility.

In May 2003, the Company announced the findings of a prospective study, conducted at the Heritage School facility in Provo, Utah, in which 178 children, ages 12 to 18 years, were given Cold-EezeÒ lozenges both symptomatically and prophylactically from October 5, 2001 to May 30, 2002. The study found a 54% reduction in the most frequently observed cold duration. Those subjects not receiving treatment most frequently experienced symptom duration of 11 days compared with 5 days when Cold-EezeÒ lozenges were administered, a reduction of 6 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® is a homeopathic remedy that is subject to regulations by various federal, state and local agencies, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

Contract Manufacturing

From October 1, 2004, QMI has continued to produce lozenge product along with performing such operational tasks as warehousing and shipping the Company’s Cold-EezeÒ products.  In addition to that function, QMI produces a variety of hard and organic candy for sale to third party customers in addition to performing contract manufacturing activities for non-related entities.  QMI is an FDA-approved facility.

On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location of QMI and discontinue the hard candy business resulting in the consolidation of manufacturing operations at the Lebanon location.  This consolidation will have no impact on the production or distribution of the Cold-EezeÒ brand of cold remedy products.

Ethical Pharmaceutical

Pharma’s current activity is the research and development of potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use.  Research and development will focus on the identification, isolation and direct use of active medicinal substances.  One aspect of Pharma’s research will focus on the potential synergistic benefits of combining isolated active constituents and whole plant components. The Company will search for new natural sources of medicinal substances from plants and fungi from around the world while also investigating the use of traditional and historic medicinals and therapeutics.

-4-


The pre-clinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing and marketing of 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 or if the patents are not granted or if the patents are subsequently challenged, these possible events could have a material effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.  The strength of the Company’s patent position may be important to its long-term success.  There can be no assurance that these patents and patent applications will effectively protect the Company’s products from duplication by others.   Additionally, the operations of the Company contribute to the current research and development expenditures of the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.   In addition to the funding from operations, the Company may in the short and long term raise capital through the issuance of equity securities or secure other financing resources to support such research.  As research progresses on certain formulations, expenditures of the Pharma segment will require substantial financial support and would necessitate the consideration of other approaches such as, licensing or partnership arrangements that meet the Company’s long term goals and objectives.  Ultimately, should internal working capital or internal funding be insufficient, there is no guarantee that other financing resources will become available, thereby deferring future growth and development of certain formulations.

QR-333 – In April 2002, the Company initiated a Proof of Concept Study in France for treatment of diabetic neuropathy, which was concluded in 2003.  In April 2003, the Company announced that an independently monitored analysis of the Proof  of  Concept  Study  concluded  that  subjects  using this  formulation  had  67%  of their symptoms improve, suggesting efficacy.  In March 2004, the Company announced that it had completed its first meeting at the FDA prior to submitting the Company’s IND application for the relief of symptoms of diabetic symmetrical peripheral neuropathy.  The FDA’s pre-IND meeting programs are designed to provide sponsors with advance guidance and input on drug development programs.  In September 2005, the Company announced that a preliminary report of its topical compound for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy was recently featured in the Journal of Diabetes and Its Complication.  Authored by Dr. C. LeFante and Dr. P. Valensi, the article appeared in the June 1, 2005 issue, and included findings that showed the compound reduced the severity of numbness, and irritation from baseline values.  In October 2005, the Company announced the results of  pre-clinical toxicology studies that showed no irritation, photo toxicity, contact hypersensitivity or photo allergy when applied topically to hairless guinea pigs and another study that showed no difference in the dermal response of the compound or placebo when applied to Gottingen Minipigs. (Both animal models are suggested for the evaluation of  topical drugs, by the FDA).  In March 2006, the Company announced the filing of an IND application with the FDA for its topical compound for the  treatment  of  Diabetic  Peripheral  Neuropathy.  This filing allowed the Company to begin human clinical trials following a 30-day review period.  If no further comments were forthcoming from the FDA, studies with human subjects could commence pending the availability of study drug.  This application included a compilation of all of the supporting development data and regulatory documentation required to file an IND application with the FDA. In April 2006, upon FDA approval for its IND, the Company announced its intent to commence human studies on its formulation.

The Company also announced that in anticipation of receiving this IND, it had previously held its investigators meeting to organize its multi-center Phase II (b) trials. This would allow the Company to begin these trials as soon as study drug is available.

In May 2006, the Company announced that it had begun screening patients to start testing their investigational new drug QR-333 and patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy would be given doses in an escalating fashion to provide pharmacokinetics data.

In September 2006, the Company announced that the results from its human study, titled "Single Center, Dose Escalating, Safety, Tolerability, And Pharmacokinetics Study Of QR-333 In Subjects With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy", demonstrated that QR-333 can be administered safely to patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy and it would proceed to conducting Phase II (b) clinical trials.  The essential CMC (Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls) stage would provide the Company with the necessary information needed to produce larger quantities of drug for the Phase II (b) trial involving approximately 180 patients.

The pharmacokinetics trial was the first study in the U.S. conducted under the FDA issued IND. The positive data showed that QR-333 is safe, it is not systemically absorbed and it is well tolerated after multiple doses. These findings are consistent with prior animal toxicity data and the human Proof of Concept study performed in France.

In November 2006, the Company announced that patient enrollment in a Phase II (b) multi center clinical study of QR-333 for the treatment of symptomatic Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) had commenced.  The Phase II (b) trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of QR-333 applied three times daily compared to placebo-treated patients over 12 weeks. Efficacy will be determined by Symptom Assessment Scores, a Visual Analogy Scale (VAS), Quality of Life and Sleep Questionnaires. Safety will be determined by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, laboratory tests and nerve conduction studies. The study will involve approximately 140 randomized male and female patients with Type 1 & 2 diabetes, as defined by the ADA (American Diabetes Association) and distal symmetric diabetic polyneuropathy.

The Study Chairman is Dr. Philip Raskin, Professor of Medicine University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas,` Texas. The study protocol was approved by the FDA as a part of Pharma’s IND submission and has been approved by the required Investigational Review Boards. The completion of the study is dependent upon enrollment rates that may affect the overall length of the study and the communication of its results.

In September 2007, the Company issued an update on a Phase II (b) Clinical Study of QR-333 on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.  The update on the study noted that over 100 subjects have been enrolled, 52 subjects have completed treatment and over 225 subjects have been screened for the Phase II (b) study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the topical formulation on subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.  Subject screening and enrollment will continue to ensure an approximately 140 evaluable patient study population.  Once enrolled, subject treatment time is 12 weeks.  To date the in-progress safety profile for this study has been consistent with the findings from the favorable safety results of the previous human proof of concept study conducted in France.  Subsequently, in March 2008, the Company indicated that the number of subjects increased in the study.
 
 
In November 2008, the Company announced that the last subject in the Phase IIb study would complete treatment at the end November 2008 and the study is in the final stage of data collection, evaluation and study conclusions.  The Company, after collecting all the patient information from 21 study centers and conferring with its panel of experts on the data, will draft and report study conclusions, as they are available.
 
QR-448(a) – In May 2008, the Company announced positive results from a study conducted in chickens to evaluate the anti-viral activity of its compound QR448(a). The compound was administered to chicks that had been infected with Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV). The data from the study indicated that QR448(a) is efficacious against an IBV challenge in two week old specific pathogen free (SPF) chicks, confirming previous results indicating that treatment with QR448(a) before or after viral exposure has the potential to lessen or prevent disease.
 
The Company initiated its investigations into the effectiveness of this compound based on feedback from poultry industry leaders who expressed an increasing need for additional products to combat IBV. With the completion of this latest study and the current dossier of data, the Company plans to solicit the poultry industry for additional guidance and potential interest and opportunities for developing this compound jointly toward commercialization.
 
In September 2008, the Company announced successful results from a follow up study conducted with its veterinary anti-viral compound QR448(a).  The Study was designed to determine the duration of the anti-viral effect of QR448(a) against IBV in commercial broiler chickens, a consumer meat type bird.  Results demonstrate longer duration of protection from infectious bronchitis and reduction of clinical signs in chickens.  Additionally, in September 2008, the Company announced that the anti-viral compound successfully prevents transmission of infectious bronchitis in chickens.  Veterinary poultry products industry experts and those familiar with prevention and control of IBV recognize that abating transmission is perhaps one of the most important ways to economically prevent, control and manage potential losses due to IBV outbreaks.
 
The formulation was initially identified as QR441(a) and for its anti-viral activity against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1.

QR-336 – In April 2004, the Company announced the results of a preliminary, pre-clinical animal study which measured the effect of its proprietary patent applied for formulation against ionizing (nuclear) radiation.  This study determined that parenteral (injection) administration of the study compound was protective against the effects of a lethal, whole body ionizing radiation dose in a mouse model.  This compound is being investigated to potentially reduce the effects of radiation exposure on humans.

In April 2006, the Company announced that it signed an agreement with Dr. William H. McBride, the Vice Chair of Research, Department of Oncology at UCLA to help develop an appropriate animal model radio protective research program for QR-336 to comply with New Food and Drug Administration animal efficacy rules for radio-protective pharmacological compounds.

In October 2006, the Company announced that it had received significant data identifying 50 microliters as the least toxic and  most effective radiation protection dose in mice when administered ip (intraperitoneal), po (by mouth) or sc (under the skin) prior to radiation exposure. These experiments were essential for providing the Company with data to optimize the formulation for efficacy and route of administration, which is required for filing under the FDA’s "Animal Efficacy Rule".

QR-337 – In September 2003, the Company announced its intention to file for permission to study its patent pending potential treatment for psoriasis and other skin disorders.  Continued testing will therefore have to be conducted under an IND application following positive preliminary results.

QR-435 – In May 2004, the Company announced that an intranasal spray application of the anti-viral test compound demonstrated efficacy by significantly reducing the severity of illness in ferrets that had been infected with the Influenza A virus. In pre-clinical studies, the antiviral formulation demonstrates antiviral activity against Ocular and Genital Herpes, indicating a new research and development path for the versatile compound. The Company is pleased with the progress and indicated that continued research is required to confirm the compound's safety and efficacy profiles.
 
In May 2006, the Company announced that it would begin a series of studies to evaluate the ocular antiviral efficacy and toxicity of its naturally-derived topical compound QR-435. Studies will be completed at The Campbell Ophthalmic Microbiology Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh in the same lab where previous successful in vitro studies of QR-435 were performed.

In December 2006, the Company announced that a series of studies were conducted on the advice of Campbell Laboratories, University of Pittsburgh, to assess QR-435 (Pharma’s broad spectrum anti-viral) potential for treating Herpes Keratitis.

While the in-vitro studies were very successful at killing the herpes virus on direct contact, the HSV-1/NZW rabbit keratitis model study showed that the compound, in its aqueous form, did not remain in the eye long enough to penetrate the corneal epithelial cells where the virus resides in an infection. The HSV-1/NZW rabbit keratitis model is a recognized standard for evaluating potential therapeutic agents in this class and is only utilized based on prior positive experimentation, as was the case.
 
Pharma may continue to pursue research and development objectives of this compound in the treatment of respiratory viruses on the strength of prior successful in-vitro and ferret model in-vivo studies. The Company's naturally derived formula has shown significant antiviral properties against various strains of H3N2 and H5N1 Influenza viruses in these studies.
 
QR-437 – In January 2004, the Company reported that its compound, which was demonstrating antiviral activity, had shown virucidal and virustatic activity against the strain 3B of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) in an in-vitro study.   Additionally, the Company decided that the derivative compound of the anti-viral formulation previously found to be effective for treating Sialorrhea would probably postpone further development on the Sialorrhea indication and concentrate on further qualification and development of the anti-viral capabilities of the compound in humans.

QR-439 – In December 2003, the Company announced positive test results of a preliminary independent in vitro study indicating that a test compound of the Company previously tested on the Influenza virus showed “significant virucidal activity against a strain of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus.”

In January 2004, the Company announced that it would conduct two further studies evaluating the compound which had shown activity against Influenza and SARS.  The first study was intended to repeat the previously announced results, which demonstrated the compound to be 100 percent effective in preventing non-infected ferrets in close proximity to an infected ferret from becoming infected with the Influenza A virus.  The second study was a dose ranging study on the test compound. Upon dosage determination and confirmation results from these forthcoming animal model studies, a human proof of concept study using a virus challenge with Influenza A virus in a quarantine unit would be a viable next step.

QR-440 (a) – The Company received an additional Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) number from the Center for Veterinary Medicine of the FDA. In previous studies, QR-440 has been shown to reduce inflammation and also suggests possible disease-modifying potential.
 
QR-441(a) – In November 2005, the Company was assigned nine INADs for a broad anti-viral agent by the Center for Veterinary Medicine of the FDA. Eight of the INADs are for investigating the compound use against avian flu H5N1 virus in chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs, horses, dogs, cats and non-food birds.  In January 2006, a ninth INAD was assigned for investigating its compound for treating arthritis in dogs. In March 2006, the Company announced that it is planning a series of controlled experiments designed to test its all natural broad spectrum anti-viral compound in poultry stocks.  The Company also announced that Dr. Timothy S. Cummings, MS, DVM, ACPV Clinical Poultry Professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University and Thomas G. Voss, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Tulane University School of Medicine will be assisting the Company in the development of the INAD bird challenge studies.
 
In July 2006, the Company announced that it has obtained positive results that support Pharma's continued progress in developing the natural broad spectrum anti-viral QR441(a) for use in preventing the spread of avian flu in poultry stocks. The results of the healthy chicken medical feed study confirmed that food or water dose forms provide an opportunity for potential commercialization if the compound demonstrates efficacy within these dose forms.  The results clearly showed that the chickens tolerated and consumed all concentrations of QR441 (a) in the medicated feed. They also tolerated and consumed the low concentration of drug in the medicated water.
 
In January 2007, the Company announced positive results from a study evaluating its anti-viral compound QR-441(a) in embryonating egg and VERO E6 cell test models. The preliminary study demonstrated QR-441(a) as a potential antiviral agent in reducing Infectious Bronchitis and New Castle Disease, two viral poultry diseases that have a significant economic impact to the poultry industry on an annual basis. Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that QR-441(a) to be a potent antiviral agent against H5N1 (Avian Flu).
 
In February 2007, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement with the State of Israel Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MOAG) and the Kimron Veterinary Institute to conduct a clinical trial testing the anti-viral capacity of the Company’s compound QR-441(a) administered as a medical feed and water to chickens exposed to HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) H5N1.

If successful this study could potentially provide data on the efficacy of QR-441(a) in preventing the infection of food grade poultry through the use of formulated feed and water. Positive data could be used to continue the development of the compound in the U.S with guidance from the FDA under the INAD’s issued to the Company in 2005 and might also be useful for development outside the United States, where the impact of disease has already been felt.  See also QR-448(a).
 
QR-443 – In August 2006, the Company announced that it had obtained positive results for its QR-443 compound for the treatment of Cachexia.  Cachexia is an extremely debilitating and life threatening, wasting syndrome associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, AIDS, chronic renal failure, COPD and rheumatoid arthritis, where inflammation has a significant impact and patients’ experience loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness and decreased appetite. The results of an animal study found a 75% efficacy rate in the treatment of mice with this condition.

In January 2007, the Company announced that it had completed a preliminary follow up Cachexia study, evaluating weight loss in mice. The tumor burden Cachexia model study concluded that QR-443 was as effective in delaying the progression of Cachexia when given orally as it had been shown to be when administered intra-peritoneally in a previous study.
 
The new data compliments the previous study results demonstrating a correlation between effectiveness and the frequency of administration of the QR-443 compound.
 
On June 20, 2007, the Company announced that it had completed a follow-up study to evaluate the impact of QR-443 on levels of a pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a cachexia model. This new data concluded that responding mice had lower levels of serum IL-6 when administered QR-443 orally than mice that received placebo. This reduction in IL-6 suggests a method of action for the delayed onset and reduced severity of cachexia observed in this study as well as the previously conducted cachexia model study.
 
QR-449 – In July 2007, the Company announced that it had initiated a human clinical safety trial to evaluate the effects of QR-449 on subjects with Metabolic Syndrome.  The primary objectives for the studies are to determine the safety of QR-449 when administered in a range dosing fashion and determine the effects of QR-449 on metabolic imbalances.
 
QR-340 – On February 24, 2009, the Quigley Corporation announced that it had signed a license with assignment of ownership agreement for its patented formulation QR-340 developed by its wholly owned subsidiary, Quigley Pharma Inc. The compound has been clinically tested and shown to improve the appearance of scars in a comparative study. The Agreement is with Levlad, LLC/Natures Gate, a manufacturer and marketer of personal care products based on botanicals.  The general terms of the agreement allow the assignee to further refine, develop and commercialize the product with exclusivity and eventual full ownership of the patent within five years, beginning January 2009. The agreement is based on required royalty payments totaling $1.1 million to The Quigley Corporation over the time period. Under the terms of the agreement, if the minimum payments and terms are not met within the five-year period, The Company retains full rights and ownership of the property. However, Levlad can continue to pay per unit royalties beyond five years for a non-exclusive license.

Health And Wellness

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  Financial information related to this former segment is presented as Discontinued Operations.  See discussion in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Cold-EezeÒ products are marketed by the Company in accordance with the terms of a licensing agreement (between the Company and the developer).  The contract is assignable by the Company with the developer’s consent.  In return for exclusive distribution rights, the Company paid the developer a 3% royalty and a 2% consulting fee based on sales collected, less certain deductions, throughout the term of this agreement, which expired in 2007.  However, the Company and the developer are in litigation and as such no potential offset for these fees from such litigation has been recorded.

During 1997, the Company obtained a trademark for the major components of its lozenge, ZIGGÔ (denoting zinc gluconate glycine), to set Cold-Eeze® apart from the imitations then proliferating the marketplace.

An agreement between the Company and its founders was entered into on June 1, 1995.  The founders, both officers and stockholders of the Company, in consideration of the acquisition of the Cold-EezeÒ cold therapy product, have received a total commission of five percent (5%), on sales collected, less certain deductions.  This agreement expired on May 31, 2005.

Product Distribution and Customers

The Company has several Broker, Distributor and Representative Agreements, both nationally and internationally, which provide for commission compensation based on sales performance.

The Cold-EezeÒ products are distributed through numerous food, chain drug and mass merchandisers throughout the United States, including: Walgreen Co., Wal-Mart, Ahold, Super Valu, CVS, RiteAid, Publix, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., Target, The Kroger Company, Safeway Inc., Kmart Corporation, and wholesale distributors including, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Distribution.

The Company is not dependent on any single customer as the broad range of customers includes many large wholesalers, ass merchandisers, and multi-outlet pharmacy chains, five of which account for a significant percentage of sales volume.  The top five customers of the Company represent 48%, 49%, and 47% of its continuing consolidated gross revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Pharma currently has no sales since it is undergoing research and development activity in compliance with regulatory requirements and is at the initial stages of what may be a lengthy process to develop commercial products.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  Financial information related to this former segment is presented as Discontinued Operations.  See discussion in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $4,241,724, $6,482,485 and $3,787,498 respectively.  Future research and development expenditures are anticipated in order to develop extensions of the Cold-EezeÒ product, including potential unrelated new products in the consumer health care industry, that are primarily supported by clinical studies, for efficacious long-term products that can be coupled with possible line extension derivatives for a family of products.  Clinical studies and testing are anticipated in connection with Pharma, such as the formulation of products for diabetic use, radiation dermatitis, influenza A, arthritis and other disorders.  Pharma is currently involved in research activity following patent applications that have been assigned to the Company.  Research and development costs, relating to potential products, may increase significantly over time as milestones in the development and regulatory process may be achieved.

Regulatory Matters

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.  The Company’s Cold-EezeÒ product is a homeopathic remedy, which is subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies, including the FDA and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.  These regulatory authorities have broad powers, and the Company is subject to regulatory and legislative changes that can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or by influencing the demand for, and the costs of, providing its products.  Management believes that the Company is in compliance with all such laws, regulations and standards currently in effect including the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938 and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Regulatory Service.  Although it is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by the future costs of compliance, management believes that the future costs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or competitive position.

The pre-clinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing and marketing of 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 or if the patents are not granted or if the patents are subsequently challenged, these possible events could all have a material effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.  The strength of the Company’s patent position may be important to its long-term success.  There can be no assurance that these patents and patent applications will effectively protect the Company’s products from duplication by others.

Competition

The Company competes with other suppliers of cold-remedy products.  These suppliers range widely in size.  Some of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial, technical or marketing resources than the Company.  Management believes that its Cold-Eeze® product, which has been clinically proven in two double-blind studies to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms, offers a significant advantage over many of its competitors in the over-the-counter cold-remedy market.  The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including price, product quality, availability, speed to market, reliability, credit terms, name recognition, delivery time and post-sale service and support.  Effective October 1, 2004, a subsidiary of the Company commenced manufacturing the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product.  This subsidiary assures future production capabilities of the lozenge product which constitutes primarily all of the cold remedy revenue.

Employees

At December 31, 2008 the Company employed 86 full-time persons, the majority of which were employed at the Company’s manufacturing facility in a production function.  The remainder were involved in an executive, marketing or administrative capacity.  None of the Company’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are members of a union.

-12-

 
Suppliers

Prior to October 1, 2004, the manufacturing of the lozenge form of Cold-EezeÒ was outsourced, but is now under the control of the Company.  The other forms of Cold-EezeÒ and remaining products of the cold remedy segment continue to be manufactured by contract manufacturers.  Should these third party relationships terminate or discontinue for any reason, the Company has formulated a contingency plan necessary 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 materials used in the production of the cold-remedy products are available from numerous sources.  Currently, they are being procured from a single vendor in order to secure purchasing economies and qualitative security.  In a situation where this one vendor is not able to supply the ingredients, other sources have been identified.  Any situation where the vendor is not able to supply the contract manufacturer with ingredients may result in a temporary delay in production until replacement supplies are obtained to meet the Company’s production requirements.

Website Access

The Company’s website address is www.quigleyco.com.  The Company’s filings with the SEC are available at no cost on its website as soon as practicable after filing of such reports with the SEC.

ITEM 1A.                    RISK FACTORS

The Company Has A History of Losses and Limited Working Capital and Expects to Increase Spending.

The Company has experienced net losses for four of the past seven fiscal years.  Although the Company earned net income of approximately $3,217,000, $453,000 and $675,000, respectively, in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003, it incurred net losses of $5,534,000, $2,458,000, $1,748,000, and $6,454,000,  respectively, in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2002.  As of December 31, 2008, The Company had working capital of approximately $14,072,000.  Since the Company continues to spend significant amounts on research and development in connection with Pharma’s product development, it is uncertain whether the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet expenses or to operate profitably in the future.

The Company Holds Patents Which It May Not Be Able to Develop Into Pharmaceutical Medications.

Future success depends in part on Pharma’s ability to research and develop prescription medications based on patents, which currently are:

These potential new products are in the development stage and no assurances can be given that commercially viable products will be developed from these patent applications.  Prior to any new product being ready for sale, substantial resources will have to be committed for research, development, preclinical testing, clinical trials, manufacturing scale-up and regulatory approval.  The Company faces significant technological risks inherent in developing these products.  The Company may abandon some or all of the proposed new products before they become commercially viable.  Even if the Company develops and obtains approval of a new product, if the Company cannot successfully commercialize it in a timely manner, its business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

The Company Will Need To Obtain Additional Capital To Support Long-Term Product Development And Commercialization Programs.

The Company’s ability to achieve and sustain operating profitability depends in large part on the ability to commence, execute and complete clinical programs for, and obtain additional regulatory approvals for, prescription medications developed by Pharma, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.  There is no assurance that the Company will ever obtain such approvals or achieve significant levels of sales.  The current sales levels of Cold-Eeze® products may not generate all the funds the Company anticipates will be needed to support current plans for product development.

The Company may need to obtain additional financing to support its long-term product development and commercialization programs.  Additional funds may be sought through public and private stock offerings, arrangements with corporate partners, borrowings under lines of credit or other sources.  Access to, and availability of, funding for such activities may prove difficult or unattainable due to several factors including weak current and future economic conditions, reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility and recession.

The amount of capital that may be needed to complete product development of Pharma’s potential products will depend on many factors, including;

 
·
the cost involved in applying for and obtaining FDA and international regulatory approvals;
 
 
·
whether the Company elects to establish partnering arrangements for development, sales, manufacturing and marketing of such products;

 
·
the level of future sales of Cold-Eeze® products, and expense levels for international sales and marketing efforts;

 
·
whether the Company can establish and maintain strategic arrangements for development, sales, manufacturing and marketing of its products; and
 
 
·
whether any or all of the outstanding options are exercised and the timing and amount of these exercises.
 
 
Many of the foregoing factors are not within the Company’s control.  If additional funds are required and such funds are not available on reasonable terms, the Company may have to reduce its capital expenditures, scale back its development of new products, reduce its workforce and out-license to others, products or technologies that the Company otherwise would seek to commercialize itself.  Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to stockholders, and any debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants.

The Company’s Products and Potential New Products Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation.

The Company’s business is regulated by various agencies of the states and localities where its products are sold.  Governmental regulations in foreign countries where the Company plans to commence or expand sales may prevent or delay entry into a market or prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of its products.  In addition, no prediction can be made as to whether new domestic or foreign legislation regulating our activities will be enacted.  Any new legislation could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operations.  Non-compliance with any applicable requirements may subject the Company or the manufacturers of its products to sanctions, including warning letters, fines, product recalls and seizures.

Cold Remedy Products.  The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the cold remedy products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, including:

·           the FDA;

·           the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”);

·           the Consumer Product Safety Commission;

·           the United States Department of Agriculture;

·           the United States Postal Service;

·           the United States Environmental Protection Agency; and

·           the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
 
In particular, the FDA regulates the safety, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements, over-the-counter and prescription drugs and cosmetics.  The FTC also has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the promotion and advertising of vitamins, over-the-counter drugs, cosmetics and foods.  In addition, the cold remedy products are homeopathic remedies which are regulated by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (“HPUS”).  HPUS sets the standards for source, composition and preparation of homeopathic remedies which are officially recognized in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938.

Pharma.  The preclinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing and marketing of Pharma’s potential new products are subject to federal and state regulation in the United States and other countries.  Clinical trials and product marketing and manufacturing are subject to the rigorous review and approval processes of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities.  Obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals is lengthy and expensive.  Typically, obtaining regulatory approval for pharmaceutical products requires substantial resources and takes 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 indication to be treated.  Preclinical studies must comply with FDA regulations.  Clinical trials must also comply with FDA regulations and may require large numbers of test subjects, complex protocols and possibly lengthy follow-up periods.  Consequently, satisfaction of government regulations may take several years, may cause delays in introducing potential new products for considerable periods of time and may require imposing costly procedures upon the Company’s activities.  If regulatory approval of new products is not obtained in a timely manner or not at all, the Company could be materially adversely affected.  Even if regulatory approval of new products is obtained, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which the products may be marketed which could also materially adversely affect the business, financial condition and future operations of the Company.

The Company’s Business is Very Competitive and Increased Competition Could Have a Significant Impact on Earnings.

Both the non-prescription healthcare product and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive.  Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities and experience than it does.  These and other entities may have or may develop new technologies.  These technologies may be used to develop products that compete with the Company.

The Company believes that the primary cold remedy product, Cold-Eeze®, has a competitive advantage over other cold remedy products because it has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms.  Competition in Pharma’s potential product areas would most likely come from large pharmaceutical companies as well as other companies, universities and research institutions, many of which have resources far in excess of the Company’s resources.

The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including price, product quality, availability, reliability and name recognition of its cold remedy products and Pharma’s ability to successfully develop and market prescription medications.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future.  If the Company is unable to compete, its earnings may be significantly impacted.

The Company’s Future Success is Dependent on the Continued Services of Key Personnel Including The Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s future success depends in large part on the continued service of key personnel.  In particular, the loss of the services of Guy J. Quigley, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer could have a material adverse effect on operations.  The Company had an employment agreement with Mr. Quigley which expired on December 31, 2005.  Future success and growth also depends on the Company’s ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees.  If the Company is unable to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, our business and operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s Future Success Depends on the Continued Employment of Richard A. Rosenbloom, M.D., Ph.D., with Pharma.

Pharma’s potential new products are being developed through the efforts of Dr. Rosenbloom.  The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s product development and future operations.

The Company’s Future Success Depends on the Continued Sales of its Principal Product.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Cold-Eeze® products represented approximately 89% of the Company’s total sales.  The Cold-Eeze® products continues to be a major part of its business.  Accordingly, the Company has to depend on the continued acceptance of Cold-Eeze® products by its customers.  However, there can be no assurance that the Cold-Eeze® products will continue to receive market acceptance.  The inability to successfully commercialize Cold-Eeze® in the future, for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, prospects and ability to continue operations of the Company.

The Company Has a Concentration of Sales to, and Accounts Receivable from, Several Large Customers.

Although the Company has a broad range of customers that includes many large wholesalers, mass merchandisers and multiple outlet pharmacy chains, the five largest customers account for a significant percentage of sales.  These five customers accounted for 48% of total sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 49% of total sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  In addition, customers comprising the five largest accounts receivable balances represented 55% and 40% of total accounts receivable balances at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Credit is extended to customers based upon an evaluation of their financial condition and credit history, and collateral is not generally required.  If one or more of these large customers cannot pay, the write-off of their accounts receivable would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.  The loss of sales to any one or more of these large customers would also have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of the Company.
 
-17-

 
The Company is Dependent on Third-Party Manufacturers and Suppliers for Certain of the Cold Remedy Products.

All active ingredients that are raw materials used in connection with the Cold-Eeze® product are purchased from a single unaffiliated supplier.  Should any of these relationships terminate, the Company believes that the contingency plans which have been formulated would prevent a termination from materially affecting its operations.  However, if any of these relationships are terminated, there may be delays in production of the Company’s products until an acceptable replacement facility is located.  The Company continues to look for safe and reliable multiple-location sources for products and raw materials so that it can continue to obtain products and raw materials in the event of a disruption in its business relationship with any single manufacturer or supplier.  While secondary sources have been identified for some of the Company’s products and raw materials, its inability to find other sources for some of its other products and raw materials may have a material adverse effect on its operations.  In addition, the terms on which manufacturers and suppliers will make products and raw materials available to us could have a material effect on the Company’s success.

The Company is Uncertain as to Whether It Can Protect Its Proprietary Rights.

The strength of the Company’s patent position may be important to its long-term success.  The Company currently owns thirteen U.S. and twenty foreign patents in connection with potential products that are being developed by Pharma.  In addition, the Company has been granted an exclusive agreement for worldwide representation, manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights to a zinc/gluconate/glycine lozenge formulation.  That formulation has been patented in the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada and Great Britain and a patent is pending in Japan.  However, this patent in the United States expired in August 2004 and expired in June 2005 in all countries except Japan.

There can be no assurance that these patents and the Company’s exclusive license will effectively protect its products from duplication by others.  In addition, the Company may not be able to afford the expense of any litigation which may be necessary to enforce its rights under any of the patents.  Although the Company believes that current and future products do not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, if any of the current or future products do infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company may have to modify the products or obtain an additional license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products.  The Company could also be prohibited from selling the infringing products.  If the Company is found to infringe on the proprietary rights of others, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to take corrective actions in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon its business, financial condition and operations.

The Company also uses non-disclosure agreements with its employees, suppliers, consultants and customers to establish and protect the ideas, concepts and documentation of its confidential non-patented and non-copyright protected proprietary technology and know-how.  However, these methods may not afford complete protection.  There can be no assurance that third parties will not obtain access to or independently develop the Company’s technologies, know-how, ideas, concepts and documentation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

The Sales of the Company’s Primary Product Fluctuates by Season.

A significant portion of the Company’s business is highly seasonal, which causes major variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.  The third and fourth quarters generally represent the largest sales volume for the cold remedy products.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage its working capital needs and its inventory to meet the fluctuating demand for these products.  Failure to accurately predict and respond to consumer demand may result in the production of excess inventory.  Conversely, if products achieve greater success than anticipated for any given quarter, this may result in insufficient inventory to meet customer demand.

The Company’s Existing Products and Potential New Products Under Development Expose the Company to Potential Product Liability Claims.

The Company’s business results in exposure to an inherent risk of potential product liability claims, including claims for serious bodily injury or death caused by the sales of the Company’s existing products and the clinical trials of products which are being developed.  These claims could lead to substantial damage awards.  The Company currently maintains product liability insurance in the amount of, and with a maximum payout of $25 million.  A successful claim brought against the Company in excess of, or outside of, existing insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.  Claims against the Company, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material adverse effect on the consumer demand for its products.
 
-18-

 
The Company is Involved in Lawsuits Regarding Claims Relating to Certain of the Cold-Eeze® Products and other Business Matters.

The Company is, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted.  Any such claims, including those contained in Item 3 of this report, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management's attention and resources.  While management believes that the Company has adequate insurance coverage and, if applicable, accrued loss contingencies for all known matters, there is no assurance that the outcome of all current or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

A Substantial Amount of the Company’s Outstanding Common Stock is Owned by the Chairman of the Board and President and Executive Officers and Directors, as a Group Can Significantly Influence All Matters Voted on by Stockholders.

Guy J. Quigley, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, through his beneficial ownership, has the power to vote approximately 25.4% of The Company’s common stock.  Mr. Quigley and the other executive officers and directors collectively beneficially own approximately 36.7% of the common stock.  These individuals have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including election of directors.  Consequently, they exercise substantial control over all major decisions which could prevent a change of control of the Company.

The Company’s Stock Price is Volatile.

The market price of the Company’s common stock has experienced significant volatility.  From January 1, 2005 to January 31, 2009, the per share bid price has ranged from a low of approximately $2.85 to a high of approximately $16.94.  There are several factors which could affect the price of the common stock, some of which are announcements of technological innovations for new commercial products by us or competitors, developments concerning propriety rights, new or revised governmental regulation or general conditions in the market for the Company’s products.  Sales of a substantial number of shares by existing stockholders could also have an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock.

Future Sales of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Public Market Could Adversely Affect the Trading Price of Shares of the Common Stock and the Company’s Ability to Raise Funds in New Stock Offerings.

Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of the Company’s common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales are likely to occur, could affect prevailing trading prices of the common stock.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 12,908,383 shares of common stock outstanding.

The Company also has outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 2,268,250 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $7.76 per share.  If the holders of these options were to attempt to sell a substantial amount of their holdings at once, the market price of the common stock would likely decline.  Moreover, the perceived risk of this potential dilution could cause stockholders to attempt to sell their shares and investors to “short” the stock, a practice in which an investor sells shares that he or she does not own at prevailing market prices, hoping to purchase shares later at a lower price to cover the sale.  As each of these events would cause the number of shares of common stock being offered for sale to increase, the common stock’s market price would likely further decline.  All of these events could combine to make it very difficult for the Company to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that it deems appropriate.

The Company Does Not Intend to Pay Cash Dividends in the Foreseeable Future.

The Company has not paid cash dividends on its common stock since inception.  The intention of the Company is to retain earnings, if any, for use in the business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends to stockholders in the foreseeable future.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws Contain Certain Provisions that May Be Barriers to a Takeover.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws contain certain provisions which may deter, discourage, or make it difficult to assume control of the Company by another corporation or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or similar transaction or series of transactions.  These provisions may deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt.  Some stockholders may believe such an offer to be in their best interest because it may include a premium over the market price of the common stock at the time.  In addition, these provisions may assist current management in retaining its position and place it in a better position to resist changes which some stockholders may want to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company’s business.

Instability And Volatility In The Financial Markets Could Have A Negative Impact On The Company’s Business, Financial Condition, Results Of Operations And Cash Flows.

During recent months, there has been substantial volatility and a decline in financial markets due at least in part to the deteriorating global economic environment. In addition, there has been substantial uncertainty in the capital markets and access to financing is uncertain. Moreover, customer spending habits may be adversely affected by the current economic crisis.  These conditions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s industry and business, including the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient cash from operations, it may need to incur indebtedness to finance plans for growth. Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the potential impact on the liquidity of major financial institutions may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to fund its business strategy through borrowings, under either existing or newly created instruments in the public or private markets on terms that the Company believes to be reasonable, if at all. 

The Company Has Agreed to Indemnify Its Officers and Directors From Liability.

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law allow the Company to indemnify any person who is or was made a party to, or is or was threatened to be made a party to, any pending, completed, or threatened action, suit or proceeding because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  These provisions permit the Company to advance expenses to an indemnified party in connection with defending any such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay those amounts if it is later determined that the party is not entitled to indemnification.  These provisions may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers and discourage or deter stockholders from suing directors or officers for breaches of their duties to the Company, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company or its stockholders.  In addition, to the extent that the Company expends funds to indemnify directors and officers, funds will be unavailable for operational purposes.
 
ITEM 1B.                   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not Applicable

ITEM 2.                      PROPERTIES

The corporate office of The Quigley Corporation is located at 621 Shady Retreat Road, Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  This property, with an area of approximately 13,000 square feet, was purchased in November 1998 and refurbished during 1999.  The Company occupies warehouse space in Las Vegas, Nevada at a current monthly cost of $2,772.  This Nevada location has a three-year lease that expires in July 2009.  In addition to storage facilities at the manufacturing subsidiary’s locations, the Company also stores product in a number of additional warehouses in Pennsylvania with storage charges based upon the quantities of product being stored.

The manufacturing facilities of the Company are located in each of Elizabethtown and Lebanon, Pennsylvania.  The facilities were purchased effective October 1, 2004.  In total, the facilities have a total area of approximately 73,000 square feet, combining both manufacturing and office space.   On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location which may result in the disposal of this facility in the future.

The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate at this time.

ITEM 3.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

TESAURO AND ELEY, ET AL. VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
  (CCP of Phila., August Term 2000, No. 001011)

In September 2000, the Company was sued by two individuals (Jason Tesauro and Elizabeth Eley, both residents of Georgia), allegedly on behalf of a "nationwide class" of "similarly situated individuals," in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  The Complaint further alleges that the plaintiffs purchased certain Cold-Eeze products between August 1996, and November 1999, based upon cable television, radio and internet advertisements, which allegedly misrepresented the qualities and benefits of the Company's products.  The Complaint, as pleaded originally, requested an unspecified amount of damages for violations of Pennsylvania's consumer protection law, breach of implied warranty of merchantability and unjust enrichment, as well as a judicial determination that the action be maintained as a class action.  In October 2000, the Company filed Preliminary Objections to the Complaint seeking dismissal of the action.  The court sustained certain objections, thereby narrowing plaintiffs' claims.

In May 2001, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the putative class.  The Company opposed the motion.  In November 2001, the court held a hearing on plaintiffs' motion for class certification.  In January 2002, the court denied in part and granted in part plaintiffs' motion.  The court denied plaintiffs' motion to certify a class based on plaintiffs' claims under Pennsylvania's consumer protection law, under which plaintiffs sought treble damages, effectively dismissing this cause of action; however, the court certified a class based on plaintiffs' secondary breach of implied warranty and unjust enrichment claims.  In August, 2002, the court issued an order adopting a form of Notice of Class Action to be published nationally.  Significantly, the form of Notice approved by the court included a provision which limits the potential class members who may potentially recover damages in this action to those persons who present a proof of purchase of Cold-Eeze during the period August 1996 and November 1999.

Afterward, a series of pre-trial motions were filed raising issues concerning trial evidence and the court's jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action.  In March, 2005, the court held oral argument on these motions.

Significantly, on November 8, 2006, the Court entered an Order dismissing the case in its entirety on the basis that the action was preempted by federal law.  The plaintiffs appealed the Court's decision in December, 2006 to the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  On February 19, 2008, the Superior Court upheld defendant's appeal and remanded the case to the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas for trial.

The case commenced trial on February 2, 2009.  On February 6, 2009, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company on all counts.  Plaintiffs had to February 17, 2009, to file post-trial motions, the first step in the appeal process.  No post-trial motions were filed by the plaintiffs.  At this time the Company has no notice as to whether the plaintiffs will attempt to perfect an appeal.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION VS. JOHN C. GODFREY, ET AL.
(Bucks Co. CCP, No. 04-07776)

In this action, which was commenced in November 2004, the Company is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against John C. Godfrey, Nancy Jane Godfrey, and Godfrey Science and Design, Inc. requesting injunctive relief regarding the Cold-Eeze trade name and trademark; injunctive relief relating to the Cold-Eeze formulations and manufacturing methods; injunctive relief for breach of the duty of loyalty, and declaratory judgment pending the Company's payment of commissions to defendants.  The Company's Complaint is based in part upon the Exclusive Representation and Distribution Agreement and the Consulting Agreement (together the "Agreements") entered into between the defendants and the Company.  The Company terminated the Agreements for the defendants' alleged material breaches of the Agreements.  Defendants have answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims against the Company seeking remedies relative to the Agreements.  The Company believes that the defendants' counterclaims are without merit and is vigorously defending those counterclaims and is prosecuting its action on its complaint.

The discovery phase of pre-trial discovery is nearing completion.  Defendants moved for partial summary judgment, and the Company filed a response and cross-motion for summary judgment.  On August 21, 2008, the court denied both motions for summary judgment.  The case has not been assigned to a trial calendar, although it is possible that the case will be listed for trial in 2009.

At this time no prediction as to the outcome of this action can be made.

NICODROPS, INC. VS. QUIGLEY MANUFACTURING, INC.

On January 30, 2006, Quigley Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Quigley Corporation, was put on notice of a claim by Nicodrops, Inc.  Nicodrops, Inc. has claimed that the packaging contained incorrect expiration dates and caused it to lose sales through two (2) retailers.  The total alleged sales of Nicodrops was approximately $250,000 and Nicodrops is claiming unspecified damages exceeding $2,000,000.

No suit has been filed.  The Company is investigating this claim.  Based on its investigation to date, the Company believes the claim is without merit.  However, at this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION VS. WACHOVIA INSURANCE SERVICES, INC. AND FIRST
UNION INSURANCE SERVICES AGENCY, INC.

The Quigley Corporation instituted a Writ of Summons against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc. on December 8, 2005.  The purpose of this suit was to maintain an action and toll the statute of limitation against The Quigley Corporation's insurance broker who failed to place excess limits coverage for the Company for the period from November 29, 2003 until April 6, 2004.  As a result of the defendant's failure to place insurance and to notify the Company of its actions, certain pending actions covered by the Company's underlying insurance at the present time may result in certain cases presently being defended by insurance counsel and the underlying insurance carrier to cause an exhaustion of the underlying insurance for the policy periods ending November 29, 2004 and November 29, 2005.  Any case in which an alleged action arose by the use of COLD-EEZE Nasal Spray from November 29, 2003 to April 6, 2004 is not covered by excess insurance.

The Company's claim against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc. is for negligence and for equitable insurance for these claims based on the Company's undertaking of certain attorneys' fees and costs of settlement for claims that should have been covered by underlying insurance placed by Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc.

At this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of any action against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc.

TERMINATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 
CAROLYN SUNDERMEIER VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
(Pa. C.C.P., Bucks County, Docket No.: 07-01324-26-2)

On February 16, 2007, plaintiff filed an action in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The complaint was served on the Company on February 20, 2007.  The action alleges the plaintiff suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of using the Company's nasal spray product.  Plaintiff's complaint consists of counts for negligence, strict products liability (failure to warn), strict products liability (defective design), breach of express and implied warranties, and violations under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law and other consumer protection statutes.

This action was recently settled at the direction of the insurance carrier out of insurance proceeds.

MONIQUE FONTENOT DOYLE VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
(U.S.D.C., W.D. La. Docket No.: 6:06CV1497)


On August 31, 2006, the plaintiff filed an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (Lafayette-Opelousas Division).  The action alleges that the plaintiff suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of the Company's nasal spray product.  Among the allegations of plaintiff are breach of express warranties and damages pursuant to the Louisiana Products Liability Act.

This case was turned over to The Quigley Corporation for defense and settlement and it was settled for less than the cost of defense after discovery was partially completed.  The cost of defense and the settlement remain claims against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc.  The Company's claim against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Services Agency, Inc. is for negligence and for equitable insurance.

HOWARD POLSKI AND SHERYL POLSKI VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION, ET AL. 
(U.S.D.C., D. Minn. Docket No.: 04-4199 PJS/JJG)

On August 12, 2004, plaintiffs filed an action against the Company in the District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota, which was not served until September 2, 2004.  On September 17, 2004, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.  The action alleges that plaintiffs suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of the Company's nasal spray product.  Among the allegations of plaintiffs are negligence, products liability, breach of express and implied warranties, and breach of the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Statute.

On September 5, 2007, the Company obtained a judgment in its favor, as a matter of law, and that decision was appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On August 13, 2008, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judgment in favor of the Company.  The plaintiffs had until December 3, 2008 to file a Petition for Allocatur to the Supreme Court of the United States.  No Petition for Allocatur was filed in this case and the Company has a final judgment in its favor.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company, headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health products which comprise the Cold Remedy and Contract Manufacturing segments.  The Company is also involved in the research and development of potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use, which comprise the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.

The Company’s primary business is the manufacture and distribution of cold remedy products to the consumer through the over-the-counter marketplace.  One of the Company’s key products in its Cold Remedy segment is Cold-EezeÒ, a zinc gluconate glycine product proven in two double-blind clinical studies to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms by nearly half. Cold-Eeze is an established product in the health care and cold remedy market.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of JoEl, Inc., the previous manufacturer of the Cold-Eeze lozenge product.  This manufacturing entity, now called QMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will continue to produce lozenge product along with performing such operational tasks as warehousing and shipping the Company’s Cold-Eeze products.  In addition, QMI, which is an FDA approved facility, has produced a variety of hard and organic candy for sale to third party customers in addition to performing contract manufacturing activities for non-related entities.  On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location of QMI and discontinue the hard candy business resulting in the consolidation of manufacturing operations at the Lebanon location.  This consolidation will have no impact on the production or distribution of the Cold-EezeÒ brand of cold remedy products.

The Company’s Cold Remedy segment reported a sales decrease in 2008 compared to 2007.  This decrease may be attributable to continued customer review of inventory levels and product mix particularly in light of current market and economic conditions including higher than normal product returns.  The cough/cold segment has been adversely affected in the past two cold seasons by the least incidence of colds by consumers in the last several years.  The 2008 sales activity reflects the market wide decrease in cold remedy product consumption as supported by recent Information Resources Inc. (“IRI”) data, which was consistent throughout 2008. Cold-Eeze continues to compete with new products entering the category despite many of these products being without any evidence of clinical effectiveness, unlike Cold-Eeze which has been clinically proven to treat the common cold.

In 2008, the margin of the Cold Remedy segment was adversely affected as a result of decreased sales and higher than normal products returns along with product obsolescence costs.  The consolidated margin was also impacted by reduced production at the manufacturing facilities resulting in a negative impact to margin.  The 2008 margin was supported as a result of the discontinuation in May 2007 of royalty costs associated with the developer of Cold-Eeze along with a price increase of Cold-Eeze to the trade in July 2007. In 2008, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $300,000 due to adverse profit margins related to the hard candy business of QMI with such expense reflected in cost of sales.  In February 2009, the Company announced plans to discontinue its hard candy business resulting in the closure of the Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, manufacturing location in 2009 and consolidate its manufacturing capabilities to one location in order to improve manufacturing efficiencies.  The facility located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, currently manufactures the Cold-Eeze lozenge product and will continue to do so along with warehousing and distributing the Company’s range of cold remedy products.

In January 2001, the Company formed an Ethical Pharmaceutical segment, Pharma, that is under the direction of its Executive Vice President and Chairman of its Medical Advisory Committee. Pharma was formed for the purpose of developing potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use. Pharma is currently undergoing research and development activity in compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company is in the initial stages of what may be a lengthy process to develop these patent applications into commercial products. The Company continues to invest significantly with ongoing research and development activities of this segment.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the current president of Darius.  The terms of the agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc., for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  Darius, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc., constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The divestiture of Darius will provide clarity to the Company’s strategic plan to focus its future endeavors in a pharmaceutical entity with OTC products and a pipeline of potential formulations that may lead to prescription and other medicinal products.  The sale of this Health and Wellness segment has been treated as discontinued operations and all periods presented have been reclassified.

-26-

 
Future revenues, costs, margins, and profits will continue to be influenced by the Company’s ability to maintain its manufacturing availability and capacity together with its marketing and distribution capabilities and the requirements associated with the development of Pharma’s potential prescription drugs and other medicinal products in order to continue to compete on a national and international level.  The business development of the Company is dependent on continued conformity with government regulations, a reliable information technology system capable of supporting continued growth and continued reliable sources for product and materials to satisfy consumer demand.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of FASB No. 115 ("FAS 159"). The Statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the retained interest and gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations," (“SFAS 141R”) which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is organized into three different but related business segments, Cold Remedy, Contract Manufacturing and Ethical Pharmaceutical. When providing for the appropriate sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs, each segment applies a uniform and consistent method for making certain assumptions for estimating these provisions that are applicable to that specific segment. Traditionally, these provisions are not material to net income in the Contract Manufacturing segment. The Ethical Pharmaceutical segment does not have any revenues.

The primary product in the Cold Remedy segment, Cold-EezeÒ, has been clinically proven in two double-blind studies to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. Accordingly, factors considered in estimating the appropriate sales returns and allowances for this product include it being: a unique product with limited competitors; competitively priced; promoted; unaffected for remaining shelf life as there is no expiration date; monitored for inventory levels at major customers and third-party consumption data, such as IRI.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company included reductions to accounts receivable for sales returns and allowances of $1,427,000 and $296,000, respectively, and cash discounts of $150,000 and $169,000, respectively. Additionally, current liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 include $1,058,962 and $1,137,650, respectively for cooperative incentive promotion costs.
 
-27-

 
The roll-forward of the sales returns and allowance reserve ending at December 31 is as follows:

Account – Sales Returns & Allowances
 
2008
   
2007
 
             
Beginning balance
  $ 295,606     $ 473,176  
Provision made for future charges relative to sales for each period presented
    2,354,346       1,104,161  
Current provision related to discontinuation of Cold-EezeÒ nasal spray
    -       -  
Actual returns & allowances recorded in the current period presented
    (1,222,907 )     (1,281,731 )
Ending balance
  $ 1,427,045     $ 295,606  

The increase in the 2008 provision was principally due to non-routine returns of obsolete product and product mix realignment by certain of our customers.  Also, the Company applies specific limits on product returns from customers, and evaluates return requests from customers relative to the Cold Remedy segment.

Management believes there are no material charges to net income in the current period, related to sales from a prior period.

Revenue

Provisions to reserves to reduce revenues for cold remedy products that do not have an expiration date, include the use of estimates, which are applied or matched to the current sales for the period presented. These estimates are based on specific customer tracking and an overall historical experience to obtain an effective applicable rate, which is tested on an annual basis and reviewed quarterly to ascertain the most applicable effective rate. Additionally, the monitoring of current occurrences, developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions relative to net sales for the period presented are also performed.

A one percent deviation for these consolidated reserve provisions for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 would affect net sales by approximately $276,000, $348,000 and $318,000, respectively. A one percent deviation for cooperative incentive promotions reserve provisions for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 could affect net sales by approximately $252,000, $323,000 and $298,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.  Management believes that this allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing these tax benefits in the future.  The uncertainty arises because the Company may incur substantial research and development costs in its Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2008 compared with same period 2007

Net sales for 2008 were $20,506,612 compared to $28,241,502 for 2007, reflecting a decrease of $7,734,890 or 27.4% in 2008.  Revenues, by segment, for 2008 were Cold Remedy, $18,185,510 and Contract Manufacturing, $2,321,102; as compared to 2007, when the revenues for each respective segment were $25,730,016 and $2,511,486.

The Cold Remedy segment reported a sales decrease in 2008 of $7,544,506 or 29.3%.  This decrease may be attributable to continued customer review of inventory levels and product mix particularly in light of current market and economic conditions including higher than normal product returns.  The cough/cold segment has been adversely affected in the past two cold seasons by the least incidence of colds by consumers in the last several years.  The 2008 sales activity reflects the market wide decrease in cold remedy product consumption as supported by recent IRI data, which was consistent throughout 2008. Cold-Eeze continues to compete with new products entering the category despite many of these products being without any evidence of clinical effectiveness, unlike Cold-Eeze which has been clinically proven to treat the common cold.

The Company is continuing to strongly support Cold-Eeze as a clinically proven cold remedy product through in-store promotion, media advertising and coupon programs.
 
-28-

 
The Contract Manufacturing segment refers to the third party sales generated by QMI.  In addition to the manufacture of the Cold-EezeÒ product, QMI also manufactures a variety of hard and organic candies under its own brand names along with other products on a contract manufacturing basis for other customers.  Sales for this segment in 2008 decreased by $190,384 or 7.6%.

Consolidated cost of sales from continuing operations for 2008 as a percentage of net sales was 44.3%, compared to 34.3% for 2007.  The cost of sales percentage for the Cold Remedy segment increased in 2008 by 5.4% primarily due to higher than normal product returns along with product obsolescence costs in 2008, with these two items increasing 2008 cold remedy costs of sales by 6.4% over 2007.  The 2007 cost of sales also reflects a royalty charge which amounted to 1.2% of sales with no such expense in 2008 due to the expiration of the royalty agreement.

The 2008 gross margin was reduced due to decreased cold remedy product sales along with increased returns and costs of product obsolescence.  The 2008 margin was also impacted by reduced production in the Contract Manufacturing segment. In 2008, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $300,000 due to adverse profit margins related to the hard candy business of Quigley Manufacturing Inc. with such expense reflected in cost of sales.  In February 2009, the Company announced plans to discontinue its hard candy business resulting in the closure of the Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, manufacturing location in 2009 and consolidate its manufacturing capabilities to one location in order to improve manufacturing efficiencies.  The facility located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, currently manufactures the Cold-Eeze lozenge product and will continue to do so along with warehousing and distributing the Company’s range of cold remedy products.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses for 2008 were $13,901,159 compared to $14,621,612 in 2007.  The decrease  in  2008  was  primarily  due  to  increased outside advertising, marketing and promotional costs of $1,548,937, primarily due to increased media advertising; decreased sales brokerage  commission costs of $252,000 due to less  2008 cold remedy sales;  payroll costs decreased by $1,100,000, mainly due to decreased 2008 general payroll and bonus costs; legal costs decreased by $455,000 and stock promotion decreased by $173,000.  Selling, marketing and administrative expenses, by segment, in 2008 were Cold Remedy $11,662,725; Pharma, $718,076; and Contract Manufacturing, $1,520,358; as compared to expenses in 2007 of $12,387,758, $602,409 and $1,631,445, respectively.

Research and development costs for 2008 and 2007 were $4,241,724 and $6,482,485, respectively.  Principally, the decrease in research and development expenditure was the result of decreased Pharma study costs of approximately $2,200,000 in 2008.

During 2008, the Company’s major operating expenses of salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, advertising, and legal costs accounted for approximately $12,412,984 (68.4%) of the total operating expenses of $18,142,883, a decrease of 3.0% over the 2007 amount of $12,790,768 (60.6%) of total operating expenses of $21,104,097, largely the result of increased advertising and promotion, decreased brokers commission, decreased legal costs and decreased payroll costs in 2008.

Total assets of the Company at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $24,368,631 and $33,501,921, respectively.  Working capital decreased by $4,505,948 to $14,071,676 at December 31, 2008.  The primary influences on working capital during 2008 were: the decrease in cash balances; decreased accounts receivable balances; decreased inventory on hand; decreased other liabilities and decreased advertising payable balances due to variations in advertising scheduling and strategies between years and related seasonal factors.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc. Darius, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc., constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The divestiture of Darius will provide clarity to the Company’s strategic plan to focus its future endeavors in a pharmaceutical entity with OTC products and a pipeline of potential formulations that may lead to prescription and other medicinal products.  The sale of this segment has been treated as discontinued operations and all periods presented have been reclassified.

Year ended December 31, 2007 compared with same period 2006

Net sales for 2007 were $28,241,502 compared to $26,850,030 for 2006, reflecting an increase of 5.2% in 2007.  Revenues, by segment, for 2007 were Cold Remedy, $25,730,016 and Contract Manufacturing, $2,511,486; as compared to 2006, when the revenues for each respective segment were $24,815,851 and $2,034,179.
 
-29-

 
The Cold Remedy segment reported a sales increase in 2007 of $914,165 or 3.7%. This increase reflects the launch of the Organix™ and Immune products in the third quarter 2007, contributing combined net sales of $2,017,316. Additionally, the Cold-Eeze price increase to the trade on July 1, 2007 contributed additional net sales amount of approximately $2,250,000. The 2007 sales activity indicates reduced unit sales of Cold-Eeze to retail which is reflective of IRI reports indicating a substantial decrease in unit consumption of Cold-Eeze in 2007, both in the fourth quarter and over the twelve month period.  Available IRI reports indicate that the 2007 cough/cold season had the lowest reported incidence of the common cold in over eight years, a factor which had consequences across the cough/cold category.  Revenues of this segment were also negatively impacted by the reduction in warehouse and retail inventory levels of several key retail outlets.  New competitor products continue to enter into the retail arena and vie for visibility in an already congested category.  Unlike Cold-Eeze, which is clinically proven to treat the common cold, many of these new products are without any evidence of clinical effectiveness.  The Company is continuing to strongly support Cold-Eeze as a clinically proven cold remedy product through in-store promotion, media advertising and the introduction of new flavors.

The Contract Manufacturing segment refers to the third party sales generated by QMI.  In addition to the manufacture of the Cold-EezeÒ product, QMI also manufactures a variety of hard and organic candies under its own brand names along with other products on a contract manufacturing basis for other customers.  Sales for this segment in 2007 increased by $477,307 or 23.5%.

Cost of sales from continuing operations for 2007 as a percentage of net sales was 34.3%, compared to 34.7% for 2006.  The cost of sales percentage for the Cold Remedy segment decreased in 2007 by 1.6% primarily due to the impact of the discontinuation of the Company’s royalty obligations to the developers in May 2007, a favorable effect of 3.4% in 2007, the launch of the two new products and the impact of the Cold-Eeze price increase resulted in a combined increase in cost of 0.7% and the adverse impact of the coupon programs on cost of goods was 1.4%.

The 2007 and 2006 consolidated cost of sales were both favorably impacted as a result of the consolidation effects of the manufacturing facility as it relates to Cold-EezeÒ.  These gross profit gains of the Cold Remedy segment were mitigated by substantially lower gross profit margins for the Contract Manufacturing segment, which is significantly lower than the other operating segments.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses for 2007 were $14,621,612 compared to $14,921,437 in 2006.  The decrease  in  2007  was  primarily  due  to  decreased outside advertising product marketing and promotional costs of $2,054,000, primarily due to a reduction in media advertising with a change to various coupon programs the costs of which are accounted for as a reduction from sales.  Sales brokerage  commission costs increased by $275,000 due to increased 2007 cold remedy sales;  payroll costs increased by $1,157,000, mainly due to increased 2007 bonuses; legal costs increased by $127,000, insurance costs decreased by $419,000, stock promotion increased by $184,000.  Selling, marketing and administrative expenses, by segment, in 2007 were Cold Remedy $12,387,758; Pharma $602,409; and Contract Manufacturing $1,631,445; as compared to 2006 of $12,605,400, $743,465 and $1,572,572, respectively.

Research and development costs for 2007 and 2006 were $6,482,485 and $3,787,498, respectively.  Principally, the increase in research and development expenditure was the result of increased Pharma study costs of approximately $2,772,000 in 2007.

During 2007, the Company’s major operating expenses of salaries, brokerage commissions, promotion, advertising, and legal costs accounted for approximately $12,790,768 (60.6%) of the total operating expenses of $21,104,097, a decrease of 2.0% over the 2006 amount of $13,054,170 (69.8%) of total operating expenses of $18,708,935, largely the result of decreased advertising, increased brokers commission and increased payroll costs in 2007.

Total assets of the Company at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $33,501,921 and $34,845,034, respectively.  Working capital decreased by $1,963,649 to $18,577,624 at December 31, 2007.  The primary influences on working capital during 2007 were: the decrease in cash balances, increased inventory on hand; increased accrued royalties and sales commissions as a result of  litigation between the Company and the developer of Cold-Eeze, increased other liabilities and decreased advertising payable balances due to variations in advertising scheduling and strategies between years and related seasonal factors.

Material Commitments and Significant Agreements

Effective October 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of JoEl, Inc., the sole manufacturer of the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product.  As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a loan obligation in the amount of $3.0 million payable to PNC Bank,  N.A. The loan was collateralized by mortgages on real property located in each of Lebanon, Pennsylvania and Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania and was used to finance the majority of the cash portion of the purchase price.  The Company could elect  interest  rate  options  of either the Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  The loan was payable in eighty-four equal monthly principal payments of $35,714 commencing November 1, 2004, and such amounts payable were reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as current portion of long-term  debt  amounting  to  $428,571  and long-term  debt  amounting  to $1,035,715 at December 31, 2005.  The loan was completely repaid in 2006.  During the duration of the loan, the Company was in compliance with all related loan covenants.

With the exception of the Company’s Cold-EezeÒ brand lozenge products and QMI’s sales to third party customers, the Company’s products are manufactured by outside sources.  The Company has agreements in place with these manufacturers, which ensure a reliable source of product for the future.

The Company has agreements in place with independent brokers whose function is to represent the Company’s Cold-EezeÒ products, in a product sales and promotion capacity, throughout the United States and internationally.  The brokers are remunerated through a commission structure, based on a percentage of sales collected, less certain deductions.

The Company has maintained a separate representation and distribution agreement relating to the development of the zinc gluconate glycine product formulation.  In return for exclusive distribution rights, the Company must pay the developer a 3% royalty and a 2% consulting fee based on sales collected, less certain deductions, throughout the term of this agreement, which expired in May 2007.  However, the Company and the developer are in litigation and as such, no potential offset for these fees from such litigation has been recorded.  A founder’s commission totaling 5%, on sales collected, less certain deductions, has been paid to two of the officers of the Company, who are also directors and stockholders of the Company, and whose agreements expired in May 2005.  The expenses for the respective periods relating to such agreements amounted to zero, $293,266 and $1,153,354 for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.   Amounts accrued for these expenses at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $3,524,031 on both dates.

On February 24, 2009, The Quigley Corporation announced that it had signed a license with assignment of ownership agreement for its patented formulation QR-340 developed by its wholly owned subsidiary, Pharma. The compound has been clinically tested and shown to improve the appearance of scars in a comparative study. The Agreement is with Levlad, LLC/Natures Gate, a manufacturer and marketer of personal care products based on botanicals.

The general terms of the agreement allow the assignee to further refine, develop and commercialize the product with exclusivity and eventual full ownership of the patent within five years, beginning January 2009. The agreement is based on required royalty payments totaling $1.1 million to The Quigley Corporation over the time period. Under the terms of the agreement, if the minimum payments and terms are not met within the five year period, the Company retains full rights and ownership of the property. However, Levlad can continue to pay per unit royalties beyond five years for a non-exclusive license.

Certain operating leases for office and warehouse space maintained by the Company resulted in rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, of $53,200, $68,436, and $60,735, respectively. The future minimum lease obligations under these operating leases are approximately $19,400.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had working capital of $14,071,676 and $18,577,624 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Changes in working capital overall have been primarily due to the following items: cash balances decreased by $3,176,750; account receivable balances, net, decreased by $2,125,019 due to decreased cold remedy sales and effective collection practices; inventory decreased by $1,134,510 primarily due to reduced cold remedy sales and obsolescence provisions, other current liabilities decreased by $1,739,074 primarily due to reduced payroll, legal and research and development accruals; accrued royalties and sales commissions decreased by $67,768 largely due to decreased cold remedy sales. Total cash balances at December 31, 2008 were $11,956,796 compared to $15,133,546 at December 31, 2007.

Management believes that its strategy to establish Cold-EezeÒ as a recognized brand name, its broader range of products, adequate manufacturing capacity, together with its current working capital, should provide an internal source of capital to fund the Company’s normal business operations.  The operations of the Company contribute to the current research and development expenditures of the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.   In addition to the funding from operations, the Company may in the short and long term raise capital through the issuance of equity securities or secure other financing resources to support such research.  As research progresses on certain formulations, expenditures of the Pharma segment will require substantial financial support and would necessitate the consideration of other approaches such as licensing or partnership arrangements that meet the Company’s long term goals and objectives.  Ultimately, should internal working capital or internal funding be insufficient, there is no guarantee that other financing resources will become available, thereby deferring future growth and development of certain formulations.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan,  the  current  president  of  Darius.  The  terms of  the agreement  include  a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  Darius markets health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc., which constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  Losses from this segment in recent times have reduced the resources available for the research and development activities of the Pharma segment.  Additionally, the divestiture of Darius will provide clarity to the Company’s strategic plan to focus its future endeavors in a pharmaceutical entity with OTC products and a pipeline of potential formulations that may lead to prescription and other medicinal products.  The sale of this segment has been treated as discontinued operations and all periods presented have been reclassified.

Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact upon the Company’s (a) short-term or long-term liquidity, or (b) net sales or income from continuing 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.

Management believes that cash generated from operations, along with its current cash balances, will be sufficient to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

It is not the Company's usual business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantees on loans and financial commitments and retained interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity for securitization purposes.  Consequently, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Impact of Inflation

The Company is subject to normal inflationary trends and anticipates that any increased costs would be passed on to its customers.

ITEM 7A.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's operations are not subject to risks of material foreign currency fluctuations, nor does it use derivative financial instruments in its investment practices. The Company places its marketable investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. The Company does not expect material losses with respect to its investment portfolio or exposure to market risks associated with interest rates. The impact on the Company's results of one percentage point change in short-term interest rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s future earnings, fair value, or cash flows related to investments in cash equivalents or interest-earning marketable securities.

Current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance including the collection of accounts receivables, realization of inventory and recoverability of assets.  In addition, the Company’s business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, including due to a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility and recession.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

The Company, headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health products which comprise the Cold Remedy and Contract Manufacturing segments.  The Company is also involved in the research and development of potential prescription and other medicinal products that comprise the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment.

The Company’s business is the manufacture and distribution of cold remedy products to the consumer through the over-the-counter marketplace. One of the Company’s key products in its Cold Remedy segment is Cold-EezeÒ, a zinc gluconate glycine product proven in two double-blind clinical studies to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms by nearly half. Cold-Eeze® is now an established product in the health care and cold remedy market.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of JoEl, Inc., the previous manufacturer of the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product.  This manufacturing entity, now called Quigley Manufacturing Inc. (“QMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will continue to produce lozenge product along with performing such operational tasks as warehousing and shipping the Company’s Cold-EezeÒ products.  In addition, QMI produces a variety of hard and organic candy for sale to third party customers in addition to performing contract manufacturing activities for non-related entities.  On February 2, 2009, the Company announced its intention to close the Elizabethtown location of Quigley Manufacturing Inc., and discontinue the hard candy business resulting in the consolidation of manufacturing operations at the Lebanon location.  This consolidation will have no impact on the production or distribution of the Cold-EezeÒ brand of cold remedy products.

In January 2001, the Company formed an Ethical Pharmaceutical segment, Quigley Pharma Inc. (“Pharma”), that is under the direction of its Executive Vice President and Chairman of its Medical Advisory Committee.  Pharma was formed for the purpose of research and development of potential natural base health products, including, but not limited to, prescription medicines along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use.  Pharma is currently undergoing research and development activity in compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company is in the initial stages of what may be a lengthy process to develop these patent applications into commercial products.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius International Inc. (“Darius”) to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement included a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.  Financial information related to this former segment is presented as Discontinued Operations.  See discussion in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Future revenues, costs, margins, and profits will continue to be influenced by the Company’s ability to maintain its manufacturing availability and capacity together with its marketing and distribution capabilities and the requirements associated with the development of Pharma’s potential prescription drugs and other medicinal products in order to continue to compete on a national and international level.  The business development of the Company is dependent on continued conformity with government regulations, a reliable information technology system capable of supporting continued growth and continued reliable sources for product and materials to satisfy consumer demand.

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® 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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Effective March 31, 2004, the financial statements include consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  (See discussion in Note 4, “Variable Interest Entity.”)
 
F-5


Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United Sates of America. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis to ensure the financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from these assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

The Company is organized into three different but related business segments, Cold Remedy, Contract Manufacturing and Ethical Pharmaceutical. When providing for the appropriate sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive program costs, each segment applies a uniform and consistent method for making certain assumptions for estimating these provisions that are applicable to each specific segment. Traditionally, these provisions are not material to reported revenues in the Contract Manufacturing segments and the Ethical Pharmaceutical segment does not have any revenues.

Provisions to these reserves within the Cold Remedy segment include the use of such estimates, which are applied or matched to the current sales for the period presented. These estimates are based on specific customer tracking and an overall historical experience to obtain an applicable effective rate. Estimates for sales returns are tracked at the specific customer level and are tested on an annual historical basis, and reviewed quarterly, as is the estimate for cooperative incentive promotion costs. Cash discounts follow the terms of sales and are taken by virtually all customers. Additionally, the monitoring of current occurrences, developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions for any future returns or allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs relative to net sales for the period presented are also performed.

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

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (FIFO), or market. Inventory items are analyzed to determine cost and the market value and appropriate valuation reserves are established. The consolidated financial statements include a reserve for excess or obsolete inventory of $1,200,803 and $368,491 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Inventories included raw material, work in progress and packaging amounts of approximately $975,000 and $1,197,000 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, with the remainder comprising finished goods.

Property, Plant  and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are 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 to thirty nine years; machinery and equipment - five to seven years; computer software - three years; and furniture and fixtures – seven years.

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 several major financial institutions. Due to the nature of the funds maintained by the Company, all fund balances are completely guaranteed due to the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds and the unlimited FDIC coverage available to non-interest bearing transaction accounts.  The Company will continue to monitor these programs as they contain future expiry dates and to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution.

F-6

 
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’s broad range of customers includes many large wholesalers, mass merchandisers and multi-outlet pharmacy chains, five of which account for a significant percentage of sales volume, representing 48% for the year ended December 31, 2008, 49% for the year ended December 31, 2007, and 47% for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Customers comprising the five largest accounts receivable balances represented 55% and 40% of total trade receivable balances at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  During 2008, 2007 and 2006, effectively all of the Company’s revenues were related to domestic markets.

The Company’s revenues are currently generated from the sale of the Cold Remedy products which approximated 89%, 91% and 92% of total revenues in the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Contract Manufacturing segment approximated 11%, 9% and 8% for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Raw materials used in the production of the products are available from numerous sources.  Raw materials for the Cold-EezeÒ lozenge product are currently procured from a single vendor in order to secure purchasing economies.  In a situation where this one vendor is not able to supply QMI with the ingredients, other sources have been identified.  Should these product sources 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.

Long-lived Assets

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 undiscounted cash flows.  In 2008, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $300,000 due to adverse profit margins related to the hard candy business of QMI with such expense reflected in cost of sales.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer, which for the Cold Remedy segment is the time the shipment is received by the customer and for the Contract Manufacturing segment, when the product is shipped to the customer.  Revenue is reduced for trade promotions, estimated sales returns, cash discounts and other allowances in the same period as the related sales are recorded. The Company makes estimates of potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period revenue. The Company analyzes historical returns, current trends, and changes in customer and consumer demand when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances. The consolidated financial statements include reserves of $1,427,045 for future sales returns and $280,973 for other allowances as of December 31, 2008 and $295,606 and $347,103 at December 31, 2007, respectively. The reserves also include an estimate of the uncollectability of accounts receivable resulting in a reserve of $131,162 at December 31, 2008 and $178,144 at December 31, 2007.

Cost of Sales

For the Cold Remedy segment, in accordance with contract terms, payments calculated based upon net sales collected to the patent holder of the Cold-Eeze formulation and payments to the corporation founders (this agreement terminated in 2005) and developers of the final saleable Cold-Eeze product (this agreement terminated in 2007) amounting to zero, $293,266 and $1,153,354, respectively, at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are presented in the financial statements as cost of sales.

Operating expenses

Agreements relating to the Cold Remedy segment with a major national sales brokerage firm are for this firm to sell the manufactured Cold-Eeze product to our customers. Such related costs are presented in the financial statements as selling expenses.

Shipping and Handling

Product sales relating to the Cold Remedy and Contract Manufacturing segments carry shipping and handling charges to the purchaser, included as part of the invoiced price, which is classified as revenue.  In all cases costs related to this revenue are recorded in cost of sales.
 
F-7

 
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 the Company became publicly traded.  Options and warrants are exercisable during a period determined by the Company, but in no event later than ten years from the date granted.

No stock options were granted to employees and non-employees in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Advertising and Incentive Promotions

Advertising and incentive promotion costs are expensed within the period in which they are utilized. Advertising and incentive promotion expense is comprised of media advertising, presented as part of sales and marketing expense; co-operative incentive promotions and coupon program expenses, which are accounted for as part of net sales; and free product, which is accounted for as part of cost of sales.  Advertising and incentive promotion costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $7,654,452, $7,290,065, and $7,703,426, respectively.  Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $241,971 and $158,428 at December 31, 2008 and 2007 relating to prepaid advertising and promotion expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $4,241,724, $6,482,485 and $3,787,498, respectively.  Principally, research and development costs are related to Pharma’s study activities and costs associated with Cold-EezeÒ.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the 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.  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.  (See Note 13 – “Income Taxes” for further discussion.)

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and other matters. The adoption did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
As a result of the Company’s continuing tax losses, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against a net deferred tax asset.  Additionally, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
The major jurisdiction for which the Company files income tax returns is the United States.  The Internal Revenue Service has examined the Company’s tax year ended September 30, 2005 and has made no changes to the filed tax returns.  The tax years 2004 and forward remain open to examination by the various taxing authorities to which the Company is subject.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  The fair value of past periods’ long-term debt was approximately equivalent to its carrying value due to the fact that the interest rates then available to the Company for debt with similar terms were approximately equal to the interest rates for the Company’s debt.  Determination of the fair value of related party payables is not practicable due to their related party nature.
 
F-8


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of FASB No. 115 ("FAS 159"). The Statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the retained interest and gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations," (“SFAS 141R”) which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold Darius to InnerLight Holdings, Inc., whose major shareholder is Mr. Kevin P. Brogan, the then president of Darius.  The Quigley Corporation formed Darius in 2000 to introduce new products to the marketplace through a network of independent distributor representatives.  Darius marketed health and wellness products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innerlight Inc. that constituted the Health and Wellness segment of the Company.  The terms of the sale agreement include a cash purchase price of $1,000,000 by InnerLight Holdings, Inc. for the stock of Darius and its subsidiaries without guarantees, warranties or indemnifications.

Sales of Darius in 2008 until date of disposal on February 29, 2008 and for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were, respectively, $2,188,815, $11,233,879 and $15,274,940.  Net income (losses) for 2008 until date of disposal on February 29, 2008 and for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, were $139,264, ($602,065) and ($1,200,692), respectively.  Results of Darius are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The major classes of balance sheet items of discontinued operations at December 31, 2007 were cash, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current liabilities.

The Company recorded a gain on the disposal of Darius of $736,252, as a result of sales proceeds of $1,000,000 less residual investment of $5,000 and net assets of Darius of $258,748 on the date of sale.

NOTE 4 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB or the “Board”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R), to address certain implementation issues.  FIN 46R varies significantly from FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) (FIN 46), which it supersedes.  FIN 46R requires the application of either FIN 46 or FIN 46R by “Public Entities”  to all  Special  Purpose  Entities (“SPEs”) at  the  end  of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.  FIN 46R is  applicable to  all non-SPEs  created prior to February 1, 2003 by Public Entities that are not small business issuers at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.  Effective March 31, 2004, the Company adopted FIN 46R for VIE’s formed prior to February 1, 2003.  The Company had determined that Scandasystems, a related party, qualified as a variable interest entity and the Company consolidated Scandasystems beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2004.  Due to the fact that the Company had no long-term contractual commitments or guarantees, the maximum exposure to loss was insignificant.
 
F-9

 
The Company has determined that the conditions that applied in the past giving rise to the application of FIN 46R to the relationship between the Company and Scandasystems no longer apply.  Therefore, effective with quarter ended March 31, 2008, Scandasystems balances were no longer consolidated with the Company’s financial results and balances.

NOTE 6 – PATENT RIGHTS AND RELATED ROYALTY COMMITMENTS

The Company has maintained a separate representation and distribution agreement relating to the development of the zinc gluconate glycine product formulation.  In return for exclusive distribution rights, the Company must pay the developer a 3% royalty and a 2% consulting fee based on sales collected, less certain deductions, throughout the term of this agreement, which expired May 2007.  However, the Company and the developer are in litigation (see Note 9) and as such no potential offset for these fees from such litigation has been recorded.

The expense for the respective periods relating to this agreement amounted to zero, $293,266 and $1,153,354, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Amount accrued for this expense at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $3,524,031, on both dates.

NOTE 7 – LONG-TERM DEBT

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of JoEl, Inc. in October 2004, the Company entered into a term loan in the amount of $3 million payable to PNC Bank, N.A. which was collateralized by mortgages on real property located in each of Lebanon and Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.   The Company could elect interest rate options at either the Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points.  The loan was payable in eighty-four equal monthly principal payments of $35,714 that commenced on November 1, 2004.  In April 2005, the Company prepaid an amount of $1.0 million against the outstanding balance on the long-term loan.  In April 2006, the Company prepaid the total outstanding balance of approximately $1.3 million.

NOTE 8 – OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Additional advertising and research and development costs are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2009.

During July 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to purchase a minimum order of product, with the amount of approximately $3,347,000 remaining, over a three year period in its capacity as an exclusive reseller, marketer and distributor of a cough and cold product incorporating a patented, proprietary delivery system.

On July 2, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Dr. Richard Rosenbloom, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Pharma, whereby the Company agreed to compensate Dr. Rosenbloom for assigning, to the Company, the entire right, title and interest in and to Dr. Rosenbloom’s concepts and/or inventions made prior to the date he became an employee of The Quigley Corporation.  In consideration of, and as full compensation for, the covenants made in the agreement, the Company shall pay Dr. Rosenbloom compensation in the amount of five percent (5%) of net sales collected, less certain deductions, of royalty bearing products.  This agreement has no current financial impact to the Company due to the absence of Pharma related sales.

The Company has had other contractual agreements.  (See Note 6.)
 
TESAURO AND ELEY, ET AL. VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
  (CCP of Phila., August Term 2000, No. 001011)

In September 2000, the Company was sued by two individuals (Jason Tesauro and Elizabeth Eley, both residents of Georgia), allegedly on behalf of a "nationwide class" of "similarly situated individuals," in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  The Complaint further alleges that the plaintiffs purchased certain Cold-Eeze products between August 1996, and November 1999, based upon cable television, radio and internet advertisements, which allegedly misrepresented the qualities and benefits of the Company's products.  The Complaint, as pleaded originally, requested an unspecified amount of damages for violations of Pennsylvania's consumer protection law, breach of implied warranty of merchantability and unjust enrichment, as well as a judicial determination that the action be maintained as a class action.  In October 2000, the Company filed Preliminary Objections to the Complaint seeking dismissal of the action.  The court sustained certain objections, thereby narrowing plaintiffs' claims.

In May 2001, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the putative class.  The Company opposed the motion.  In November 2001, the court held a hearing on plaintiffs' motion for class certification.  In January 2002, the court denied in part and granted in part plaintiffs' motion.  The court denied plaintiffs' motion to certify a class based on plaintiffs' claims under Pennsylvania's consumer protection law, under which plaintiffs sought treble damages, effectively dismissing this cause of action; however, the court certified a class based on plaintiffs' secondary breach of implied warranty and unjust enrichment claims.  In August, 2002, the court issued an order adopting a form of Notice of Class Action to be published nationally.  Significantly, the form of Notice approved by the court included a provision which limits the potential class members who may potentially recover damages in this action to those persons who present a proof of purchase of Cold-Eeze during the period August 1996 and November 1999.

Afterward, a series of pre-trial motions were filed raising issues concerning trial evidence and the court's jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action.  In March, 2005, the court held oral argument on these motions.

Significantly, on November 8, 2006, the Court entered an Order dismissing the case in its entirety on the basis that the action was preempted by federal law.  The plaintiffs appealed the Court's decision in December, 2006 to the Superior Court  of  the  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  On February 19, 2008, the Superior Court upheld defendant's appeal and remanded the case to the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas for trial.
 
F-11

 
The case commenced trial on February 2, 2009.  On February 6, 2009, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company on all counts.  Plaintiffs had to February 17, 2009, to file post-trial motions, the first step in the appeal process.  No post-trial motions were filed by the plaintiffs.  At this time the Company has no notice as to whether the plaintiffs will attempt to perfect an appeal.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION VS. JOHN C. GODFREY, ET AL.
(Bucks Co. CCP, No. 04-07776)

In this action, which was commenced in November 2004, the Company is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against John C. Godfrey, Nancy Jane Godfrey, and Godfrey Science and Design, Inc. requesting injunctive relief regarding the Cold-Eeze trade name and trademark; injunctive relief relating to the Cold-Eeze formulations and manufacturing methods; injunctive relief for breach of the duty of loyalty, and declaratory judgment pending the Company's payment of commissions to defendants.  The Company's Complaint is based in part upon the Exclusive Representation and Distribution Agreement and the Consulting Agreement (together the "Agreements") entered into between the defendants and the Company.  The Company terminated the Agreements for the defendants' alleged material breaches of the Agreements.  Defendants have answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims against the Company seeking remedies relative to the Agreements.  The Company believes that the defendants' counterclaims are without merit and is vigorously defending those counterclaims and is prosecuting its action on its complaint.

The discovery phase of pre-trial discovery is nearing completion.  Defendants moved for partial summary judgment, and the Company filed a response and cross-motion for summary judgment.  On August 21, 2008, the court denied both motions for summary judgment.  The case has not been assigned to a trial calendar, although it is possible that the case will be listed for trial in 2009.

At this time no prediction as to the outcome of this action can be made.

NICODROPS, INC. VS. QUIGLEY MANUFACTURING, INC.

On January 30, 2006, Quigley Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Quigley Corporation, was put on notice of a claim by Nicodrops, Inc.  Nicodrops, Inc. has claimed that the packaging contained incorrect expiration dates and caused it to lose sales through two (2) retailers.  The total alleged sales of Nicodrops was approximately $250,000 and Nicodrops is claiming unspecified damages exceeding $2,000,000.

No suit has been filed.  The Company is investigating this claim.  Based on its investigation to date, the Company believes the claim is without merit.  However, at this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION VS. WACHOVIA INSURANCE SERVICES, INC. AND FIRST
UNION INSURANCE SERVICES AGENCY, INC.

The Quigley Corporation instituted a Writ of Summons against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc. on December 8, 2005.  The purpose of this suit was to maintain an action and toll the statute of limitation against The Quigley Corporation's insurance broker who failed to place excess limits coverage for the Company for the period from November 29, 2003 until April 6, 2004.  As a result of the defendant's failure to place insurance and to notify the Company of its actions, certain pending actions covered by the Company's underlying insurance at the present time may result in certain cases presently being defended by insurance counsel and the underlying insurance carrier to cause an exhaustion of the underlying insurance for the policy periods ending November 29, 2004 and November 29, 2005.  Any case in which an alleged action arose by the use of COLD-EEZE Nasal Spray from November 29, 2003 to April 6, 2004 is not covered by excess insurance.

The Company's claim against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc. is for negligence and for equitable insurance for these claims based on the Company's undertaking of certain attorneys' fees and costs of settlement for claims that should have been covered by underlying insurance placed by Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc.

At this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of any action against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc.

CAROLYN SUNDERMEIER VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
(Pa. C.C.P., Bucks County, Docket No.: 07-01324-26-2)

On February 16, 2007, plaintiff filed an action in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The complaint was served on the Company on February 20, 2007.  The action alleges the plaintiff suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of using the Company's nasal spray product.  Plaintiff's complaint consists of counts for negligence, strict products liability (failure to warn), strict products liability (defective design), breach of express and implied warranties, and violations under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law and other consumer protection statutes.

This action was recently settled at the direction of the insurance carrier out of insurance proceeds.
 
 
MONIQUE FONTENOT DOYLE VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
(U.S.D.C., W.D. La. Docket No.: 6:06CV1497)

On August 31, 2006, the plaintiff filed an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (Lafayette-Opelousas Division).  The action alleges that the plaintiff suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of the Company's nasal spray product.  Among the allegations of plaintiff are breach of express warranties and damages pursuant to the Louisiana Products Liability Act.

This case was turned over to The Quigley Corporation for defense and settlement and it was settled for less than the cost of defense after discovery was partially completed.  The cost of defense and the settlement remain claims against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Insurance Services Agency, Inc.  The Company's claim against Wachovia Insurance Services, Inc. and First Union Services Agency, Inc. is for negligence and for equitable insurance.


HOWARD POLSKI AND SHERYL POLSKI VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION, ET AL.
(U.S.D.C., D. Minn. Docket No.: 04-4199 PJS/JJG)

On August 12, 2004, plaintiffs filed an action against the Company in the District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota, which was not served until September 2, 2004.  On September 17, 2004, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.  The action alleges that plaintiffs suffered certain losses and injuries as a result of the Company's nasal spray product.  Among the allegations of plaintiffs are negligence, products liability, breach of express and implied warranties, and breach of the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Statute.

On September 5, 2007, the Company obtained a judgment in its favor, as a matter of law, and that decision was appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On August 13, 2008, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judgment in favor of the Company.  The plaintiffs had until December 3, 2008 to file a Petition for Allocatur to the Supreme Court of the United States.  No Petition for Allocatur was filed in this case and the Company has a final judgment in its favor.
 
 
NOTE 10 – TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On September 8, 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of Common Stock Purchase Rights  (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”), thereby  creating  a  Stockholder  Rights  Plan  (the “Plan”).  The  dividend  was  payable  to  the stockholders of record on September 25, 1998.  Each Right entitles the stockholder of record to purchase from the Company that number of common shares having  a combined  market  value equal to two times the Rights exercise price of $45.  The Rights are not exercisable until the distribution date, which will be the earlier of a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding common shares, or the announcement of an intention by a similarly constituted party to make a tender or exchange offer resulting in the ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares.   The dividend has the effect of giving the stockholder a 50% discount on the share’s current market value for exercising such right. In the event of a cashless exercise of the Right, and the acquirer has acquired less than 50% beneficial ownership of the Company, a stockholder may exchange one Right for one common share of the Company.  The final expiration date of the Plan was September 25, 2008, prior to the amendment.
 
On May 23, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment ("Amendment No. 1") to the Rights Agreement, dated as of September 15, 1998, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of May 20, 2008, pursuant to which the term of the Rights Agreement was extended until September 25, 2018. In addition, Amendment No. 1 added a provision pursuant to which the Company's board of directors may exempt from the provisions of the Rights Agreement an offer for all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock that the directors determine to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms.
 
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 until December 31, 2008, 4,159,191 shares have been repurchased at a cost of $24,042,801 or an average cost of $5.78 per share.  No shares were repurchased during 2008 or 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, a total of 55,250 options were exercised.

In July 2004, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a distribution-in-kind to its stockholders of approximately 500,000 shares of common stock of Suncoast Naturals, Inc., now called Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: PPRG), which it acquired through a sale of the Company’s 60% equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. These shares were distributed on the basis of approximately .0434 shares of Suncoast common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock owned of record on September 1, 2004, with fractional shares paid in cash. As a result of the Company’s dividend-in-kind to stockholders and the issuance of 499,282 shares of common stock of Suncoast in September 2004, representing approximately two-thirds of its common stock ownership, the remaining 25,072 shares (250,718 reverse split 1 for 10 in September 2006)  and subsequent shares acquired through a conversion of Suncoast’s Preferred stock owned by the Company and now totaling 875,072 shares, owned by the Company which are valued at $26,455 and such amount is included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008.

NOTE 11 – STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock options for purchase of the Company’s common stock have been granted to both employees and non-employees. Options are exercisable during a period determined by the Company, but in no event later than ten years from the date granted.

On December 2, 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) which was amended in 2005 and provides for the granting of up to four million five hundred thousand shares of which 1,753,750 remain available for grant at December 31, 2008.  Under this Plan, the Company may grant options to employees, officers or directors of the Company at variable percentages of the market value of stock at the date of grant.  No incentive stock option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant or five years where the individual owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company.  Stockholders approved the Plan in 1998.  No options were granted under this Plan during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options and warrants granted to both employees and non-employees as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

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 prior years.  In addition, certain tax benefits for option and warrant exercises totaling $6,805,323 are deferred and will be credited to additional-paid-in-capital when the NOL’s attributable to these exercises are utilized.  As a result, these NOL’s will not be available to offset income tax expense.  The net operating loss carry-forwards that currently approximate $21.8 million for federal purposes will be expiring through 2028.  Additionally, there are net operating loss carry-forwards of $20.9 million for state purposes that will be expiring through 2028.  Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations, the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock activities and alternative minimum tax credits of $110,270 are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax asset is being provided.

NOTE 14 – 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 shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS also utilizes the treasury stock method which 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 variety of results for each period presented.

A reconciliation of the applicable numerators and denominators of the income statement periods presented is as follows (millions, except earnings per share amounts):

NOTE 15 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company may continue the process of acquiring licenses in certain countries through related party entities whose stockholders include Mr. Gary Quigley, a relative of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Fees amounting to zero, $45,750, $145,500 have been paid to a related entity during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively to assist with the regulatory aspects of obtaining such licenses.
 
 
NOTE 16 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The basis for presenting segment results generally is consistent with overall Company reporting. The Company reports information about its operating segments in accordance with 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. All consolidating items are included in Corporate & Other.

The Company’s operations are divided into three reportable segments as follows: The Quigley Corporation (Cold  Remedy), whose main product is Cold-EezeÒ, a proprietary zinc gluconate glycine lozenge for the common cold; QMI (Contract Manufacturing), which is the production facility for the Cold-EezeÒ brand lozenge product and also performs contract manufacturing services for third party customers together with third party sales of its own products; and Pharma, (Ethical Pharmaceutical), currently involved in research and development activity to develop patent applications for potential pharmaceutical products.  As discussed in Note 3 “Discontinued Operations”, the Company disposed of its Health and Wellness segment on February 29, 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Stockholders of The Quigley Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Quigley Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008.  We also have audited The Quigley Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  The Quigley Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying management’s report.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Quigley Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, The Quigley Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
·
provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and

 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008. Our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
