PROSPECTUS
THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
5,480,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This Prospectus relates to the reoffer and resale by certain selling
shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of shares (the "Shares") of the Common
Stock, $.0005 par value (the "Common Stock"), of The Quigley Corporation, a
Nevada corporation (the "Company") which are issuable by the Company to the
Selling Shareholders upon the exercise of certain warrants to purchase Common
Stock.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by
the Selling Shareholders, but will receive amounts upon the exercise of warrants
which amounts will be used for working capital and other corporate purposes. The
Company has agreed to bear certain expenses (other than selling commissions and
fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the Selling Shareholders) in
connection with the registration and sale of the Shares being offered by the
Selling Shareholders. See "Use of Proceeds."
The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that the resale of their
Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise at market
prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at prices otherwise negotiated. The
Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or
through broker-dealers who may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers
of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell
as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may
be in excess of customary commissions). Any broker-dealer acquiring the Shares
from the Selling Shareholders may sell such securities in its normal market
making activities, through other brokers on a principal or agency basis, in
negotiated transactions, to its customers or through a combination of such
methods. See "Plan of Distribution."

THE COMPANY
The Quigley Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is a
Nevada corporation which was organized on August 24, 1989 and commenced business
operations in October 1989.
The Company's initial business was the marketing and distribution of a
line of nutritious health supplements called Nutri-Bars. Since June 1996, the
Company has concentrated its business operations exclusively on the
manufacturing, marketing and development of its proprietary Cold-Eeze(R) and
Cold-Eezer Plus cold- remedy lozenge products and on development of various
product extensions. The Company's lozenge products are based upon a proprietary
zinc gluconate formula, which in a clinical study conducted by The Cleveland
Clinic, has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold
symptoms. The Quigley Corporation acquired world-wide manufacturing and
distribution rights to this formulation in 1992 from Dr. John Godfrey and
commenced national marketing in 1996. The Company markets its Cold-Eeze(R)
products through manufacturer's representatives, networK marketing, commercial
dealerships and other sources of marketing and promotion including television
direct marketing.
The Company's principal office is located at the Landmark Building, 10
South Clinton Street, Doylestown, PA (and its alternative mailing address is
P.O. Box 1349, Doylestown, PA 18901). The telephone number is (215) 345-0919.

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. EACH
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS
INHERENT IN, AND AFFECTING THE BUSINESS OF, THE COMPANY BEFORE MAKING AN
INVESTMENT DECISION.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIENCIES; HISTORY OF
LOSSES. The Company was organized in August of 1989 and has generated limited
revenues from the sale of its cold-remedy products through the end of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had working
capital of approximately $10.6 million, however, the Company has a history of
limited working capital and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and
1996, the Company had working capital of approximately $270,000 and $911,000,
respectively. In addition, although the Company had net income of approximately
$1,951,000 and $6,490,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and March
31, 1997, respectively, it incurred net losses of $153,000 and $694,000 for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. There can be no assurance that
the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet expenses or to operate
profitably in the future. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash
flow from its operations it would have to seek additional borrowings, effect
debt or equity offerings or otherwise raise capital. There can be no assurance
that any such financing will be available to the Company, or if available, that
the terms will be acceptable to the Company.
GOING CONCERN REPORT. The Company's independent certified public
accountant has included an explanatory paragraph in his report on the Company's
financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996
included herein which states that such financial statements have been prepared
based on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and
that the Company's losses from operations since inception raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. See
Financial Statements.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The manufacturing, processing, formulation,
packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's cold-relief products are
subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the United
States Food and Drug Administration ("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. In addition,
the FTC has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the promotion and
advertising of vitamins, over-the-counter drugs, cosmetics and foods.
-6-
Since the Company does not engage in the manufacturing process of its
cold-relief products, it is not subject to many of these regulations. In
addition, the Company's cold-relief product is a homeopathic remedy which is
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.
The Company's business is also regulated by various agencies of the
states and localities in which the Company's products are sold and 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 the Company's
products.
In addition, the Company cannot predict whether new domestic or foreign
legislation regulating its activities will be enacted. Such new legislation
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Failure to comply with any
applicable requirements can result in sanctions being imposed on the Company or
the manufacturers of its products, including warning letters, fines, product
recalls and seizures.
COMPETITION. Management of the Company believes that the Company's
cold-relief product, which has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and
duration of the common cold symptoms, offers a significant advantage over other
suppliers in the over-the-counter cold remedy market. Competition consists of
numerous suppliers of cold remedy products. This market is highly competitive,
and some companies with which the Company competes are substantially larger and
have significantly greater resources than the Company. The Company believes that
its ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including price, product
quality, availability and reliability and name recognition. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future.
MANAGING GROWTH. The Company is currently experiencing a period of
rapid growth and expansion which has placed, and could continue to place, a
significant strain on the Company's management, customer service and support
operations, sales and administrative personnel and other resources. The
Company's ability to manage its planned growth requires the Company to continue
to expand its operating, management, information and financial systems, all of
which may increase its operating expenses. If the Company fails to achieve its
growth as planned or is unsuccessful in managing its anticipated growth, there
could be a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the loss of a
significant customer or a number of customers, or a significant reduction in
purchase volume by or financial difficulty of such customers, for any reason,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Outlook."
-7-
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company's future success depends in
large part on the continued service of its key personnel. In particular, the
loss of the services of Guy Quigley, its Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer could have a material adverse effect on the operations
of the Company. The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Quigley which
expires on May 31, 2005. The Company's future success and growth also depends on
its ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified
employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract,
motivate and retain such persons.
DEPENDENCE UPON SALES OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCT. The Company's future
performance will depend, almost entirely, on the continued customer acceptance
of the Company's principal product, Cold-Eeze(R). For the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, substantially all of the Company's
revenues have been generated by sales of Cold-Eeze(R) or product extensions of
Cold-Eeze(R). The Company anticipates that substantially all of its revenues for
the foreseeable future will be generated by sales of Cold-Eeze(R), both overseas
and in the U.S. There can be no assurance that the Company's Cold-Eeze(R)
products will continue to receive market acceptance. The inability to
successfully commercialize Cold- Eeze(R), for any reason, would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, prospects, and ability to
continue operations. See "Business."
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIER. The Company does
not own or lease any manufacturing facilities, does not manufacture the
Cold-Eeze(R) product or any of its ingredients, and purchases all ingredients
from a single unaffiliated supplier. The Company has entered into a contract
with a single manufacturer to supply its zinc gluconate products. Should this
relationship terminate, the Company believes that the contingency plans which it
has formulated would prevent such termination from materially affecting the
Company's operations. Any such termination may, however, result in a temporary
delay in production until a replacement facility with available production time
is located. In addition, the terms on which suppliers and manufacturers will be
available could have a material effect on the success of the Company. See
"Business - Customers and Suppliers."
UNCERTAINTY OF PATENT PROTECTION; UNCERTAINTY OF PROTECTION OF
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. The strength of the Company's patent position may play
an important role in its long-term success. The Company currently owns no
patents. However, the Company has been granted an exclusive agreement for
worldwide representation, manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights to a
zinc/gluconate/glycine lozenge formulation developed by Dr. John C. Godfrey,
Ph.D. The zinc/gluconate/glycine lozenge formulation developed by Dr. John C.
Godfrey, Ph.D has been patented in the United States, Germany, France, Italy,
Sweden, Canada and Great Britain and a patent is pending in Japan. The Company
also has an exclusive license from George Eby Research for a United States use
patent for zinc gluconate. There can be no assurance that these
-8-
patents will be effective to protect the Company's product from duplication by
others. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company or the patent
holder will be able to afford the expense of any litigation which may be
necessary to enforce its rights under any patent. Moreover, although the Company
believes that its product does not and will not infringe upon the patents or
violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that such infringement
or violation has or may occur. In the event that the Company's product is
determined to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the
Company could be required to modify its product or obtain an additional license
for the manufacture and/or sale of the product, or could be prohibited from
selling the product. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, the
Company would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and
conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that the Company or the patent holders will have the financial or other
resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary
rights violation action. In addition, if the Company's product is deemed to
infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company could,
under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have a
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business - Patents."
The Company also relies substantially upon its proprietary
technologies, utilizing non-disclosure agreements with its employees, suppliers,
consultants and customers to establish and protect the ideas, concepts and
documentation of its proprietary technology and know-how. Such methods, however,
may not afford complete protection, and there can be no assurance that third
parties will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to the
Company's know-how, ideas, concepts and documentation, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS; QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS. A substantial portion
of the Company's business is highly seasonal, causing significant variations in
operating results from quarter to quarter. The consumer market for the Company's
cold-relief products tends to be highly seasonal. It is anticipated that a major
portion of the Company's will come in the first and fourth quarters since the
primary cold season is from September to March. There can be no assurance that
the Company can maintain sufficient flexibility with respect to its working
capital needs and its ability to manufacture products to be able to minimize the
adverse effects of an unanticipated shortfall in or greater than expected demand
for its products. Failure to predict accurately and respond to consumer demand
may cause the Company to produce excess inventory. Conversely, if the product
achieves greater success than anticipated for any given quarter, the Company may
not have sufficient inventory to meet customer demand. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
-9-
POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE. The Company's business exposes it
to an inherent risk of potential product liability claims, including claims for
serious bodily injury or death, which could lead to substantial damage awards.
The Company currently maintains product liability insurance in the amount of and
with a maximum payout of $10 million. A successful claim brought against the
Company in excess of, or outside of, its 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 the
Company's products.
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER. Guy Quigley, the Chairman of the
Board and President of the Company, through his beneficial ownership has the
power to vote approximately 30.9% of the Common Stock. Mr. Quigley and the other
executive officers and directors of the Company collectively beneficially own
approximately 42.5% of the Company's Stock. These individuals have significant
influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to shareholders for
approval, including election of directors of the Company, thereby enabling them
to control all major decisions of the Company. In addition, such concentration
of ownership may have the effect of preventing a change of control of the
Company. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management".
VOLATILITY OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK PRICES. The market price of
the Company's Common Stock has experienced significant volatility, with per
share bids ranging from a low of approximately $2.09 to a high of approximately
$15.50 (after giving effect to a 2 for 1 stock split) over the six month period
from October 1, 1996 to March 31, 1997. Announcements of technological
innovations for new commercial products of the Company or its competitors,
developments concerning propriety rights or governmental regulation or general
conditions in the market for the Company's cold-relief products may have a
significant effect on the Company's business and on the market price of the
Company's securities. Sales of a substantial number of shares by existing
security holders could also have an adverse effect on the market price of the
Company's securities.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. The sale, or availability for sale, of
substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 or
otherwise could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and could
impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its
equity securities.
NO CASH DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid cash dividends on its
Common Stock since its inception. The Company currently intends to retain
earnings, if any, for use in the business and does not anticipate paying any
dividends to its shareholders in the foreseeable future.
-10-
RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK SUBORDINATE TO PREFERRED STOCK. The Articles of
Incorporation of the Company authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. No shares of preferred
stock are currently outstanding. If shares of preferred stock are issued in the
future, the terms of a series of preferred stock may be set by the Company's
Board of Directors without approval by the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and
distributions on liquidation as well as separate class voting rights. The rights
of the holders of the Company's Common Stock will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may
be issued in the future.
BARRIERS TO TAKEOVER. The Company's Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws contain certain provisions which may deter, discourage, or make more
difficult the assumption of 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 include an unusually large number of
authorized shares (150,000,000) and the prohibition of cumulative voting. In
addition, the future issuance of preferred stock by the Company could have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of the Company. The overall effect of these provisions may be to deter a
future tender offer or other takeover attempt that some shareholders might view
to be in their best interest as the offer might include a premium over the
market price of the Company's capital stock at the time. In addition, these
provisions may have the effect of assisting the Company's current management in
retaining its position and place it in a better position to resist changes which
some shareholders may want it to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of the
Company's business. See "Description of Securities -- Nevada Law and Corporate
Provisions Affecting Shareholders."
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 78.751 of
the Nevada General Corporation Law ("NGCL") allows 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 by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise. The NGCL permits 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.
The foregoing provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative
litigation against directors and officers and discourage or deter shareholders
from suing directors or officers for breaches of their duties to the Company,
even though such an action, if
-11-
successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its shareholders. In
addition, to the extent that the Company expends funds to indemnify directors
and officers, funds will be unavailable for operational purposes. See
"Description of Securities -- Nevada Law and Corporate Provisions Affecting
Shareholders."
USE OF PROCEEDS
No net proceeds will be realized by the Company from the sale of the
Shares offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders. The Company will, however,
receive the exercise price of the warrants held by the Selling Shareholders, if
and when exercised. Such proceeds will be used by the Company for working
capital and other corporate purposes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE SUCH
DIFFERENCES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE COMPANY'S EXPANSION INTO NEW
MARKETS, COMPETITION, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND AVAILABILITY OF MANAGERIAL
PERSONNEL.
OVERVIEW
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, management of the
Company made a strategic marketing decision to change the focus and business
operations of the Company to the manufacture and marketing of the Company's
patented Cold-Eeze(R) cold relief lozenge product and the development and
marketing of brand extension products based upon the Company's proprietary zinc
gluconate glycine formula.
By commencing national distribution of a cold-relief product clinically
proven to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold symptoms, the
Company believes that it is offering a significant addition to the huge
over-the-counter cold remedy market. Through greatly increased sales and
expansion of manufacturing availability and by holding down operation, marketing
and distribution costs, the Company believes it will in the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997 maintain a positive cash flow from operations. The Company
also intends to continue to utilize the financial and marketing resources of
independent national and international brokers and marketers to represent the
Company's Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge product and product extensions, thereby saving
the Company from the expenses and capital outlays which the Company would
otherwise be required to expend.
The Company had not generated significant revenues from its business
operations from its inception through the third quarter of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996. As a result of the release of the clinical study by The
Cleveland Clinic in July, 1996 citing positive results of the efficacy of the
Company's Cold-Eeze(R) formulation, and the resultant increased national
publicity concerning the Cold-Eeze(R) product, revenue from product sales
greatly increased during the fourth quarter ending September 30, 1996. For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of ($694,269)
on revenues of $1,049,561. The dramatic increase in purchase orders for the
Cold-Eeze(R) product resulted in a significant backlog in purchase orders by the
close of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.
Based upon continuing strong consumer demand for the Cold- Eeze(R)
product, the Company in September, 1996 initiated a program designed to increase
manufacturing availability in several stages.
-16-
As a result of this program, the Company will have the ability to manufacture
and ship in excess of $1.5 million of the Cold-Eeze(R) product by the end of
January, 1997, with additional manufacturing availability coming on-line shortly
thereafter.
As of December 26, 1996, the Company had a purchase order backlog of
approximately $7.5 million of Cold-Eeze(R) product, and was, during the months
of November, 1996 and December, 1996, manufacturing and shipping Cold-Eeze(R)
product at the rate of approximately $500,000 per week. These sales levels are
significantly higher than any previous sales results of the Company and
management expects that these sales levels will continue for the immediate
future and therefore will have a materially positive effect on the Company's
results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.
Although the Company expects that sales levels will be highest during
the peak cold season from September through March, near-term sales levels should
continue to increase as the Company ships its backlog of orders and distributors
and retailers order increasing quantities of the Cold-Eeze(R) product to fill
their distribution pipeline and meet increasing consumer demand for the product.
In addition, new marketing plans are under way as well as negotiating sales
distribution agreements for the Southern Hemisphere, which has a cold season
that is opposite of North America to help counteract the current seasonality for
the product.
The Company expects that it will during the fiscal year ending December
31, 1997 utilize its increased manufacturing availability to manufacture
sufficient product for international distribution of Cold-Eeze(R). Although the
Company has begun to establish an international network of independent
distributors, the current inability to meet domestic demand for the Cold-Eeze(R)
product and the time needed for international product registration has delayed
the introduction of the Cold-Eeze(R) product outside the United States.
The management of the Company currently believes that the expected
significant increases in revenues, and related profits generated, for the
remainder of 1997, should provide an internal source of capital to fund the
Company's business operations, and as needed, short term funding with commercial
banks. Management is not aware of any trend, events or uncertainties that have,
or are reasonably likely, or expected to have, a material negative impact upon
the Company's short term or long term liquidity.
The Company believes that it has developed an effective, proprietary
cold remedy product which is beginning to meet with widespread consumer
acceptance. Future results of the Company's operations, however, will be
dependent upon a number of factors, including competitive and financial
pressures associated with national distribution of an over-the-counter cold
remedy. Future revenues, costs, margins and profits will continue to be
influenced by the Company's ability to increase its manufacturing, marketing
-17-
and distribution capabilities in order to compete on the national and
international level.
On January 2, 1997, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the comparison of results of
operations includes a discussion of the three month period ended December 31,
1996 and 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company reported
revenues of $22,182,007 and a net income of $6,489,815, as compared with
revenues of $105,432 and a net loss of ($77,290) for the comparable period ended
March 31, 1996. This substantial increase in revenue and profits is primarily a
result of the publication of the clinical trial study in a medical journal,
proving the effectiveness of Cold-Eeze(R) as a remedy for the common cold
symptoms. Also, contributing to this substantial increase was the Company's
national marketing program, national exposure in the media, such as the ABC
network news program, "20/20", in January 1997, and the substantial increase in
the manufacturing availability for the product during this period.
The current gross profit rate of 68.9% for the period ended March 31,
1997, should remain as a relative constant going forward, especially for the
immediate future. This is comparable to the 68.8% gross profit rate for the
period ended March 31, 1996.
Operating expenses, such as delivery, brokerage commissions, promotion,
and advertising costs, increased significantly over the prior comparable period
due to the national marketing efforts and the relationship of revenue dollar
volume increases of the Cold- Eeze(R) product. These expenses accounted for
approximately $3,262,695 of the total operating costs of $4,385,688 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to total operating costs of
$150,501 for the prior comparable period. Accordingly, until other income tax
strategies currently being reviewed are implemented in the future, the effective
tax rate for the Company should approximate 40.5%.
Total assets of $24,239,768, working capital of $10,564,466 and
shareholder's equity of $11,591,277 for the period ended March 31, 1997,
increased dramatically from the prior comparable period. This occurred primarily
from significant sales and net income volume increases which thereby increased
accounts receivable by $10,133,629 and inventories by $543,695. The occurrence
of common stock related transactions, as compared to the comparable reporting
period, totaling $584,390 also contributed to the balance sheet increases.
-18-
BY REASON OF THE COMPANY'S CHANGE OF FISCAL YEAR END FROM SEPTEMBER 30
TO DECEMBER 31, THE FOLLOWING COMPARISON IS PROVIDED:
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995.
For the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company reported
revenues of $4,091,653 and a net income of $1,951,489, as compared with revenues
of $147,718 and a net loss of ($4,347) for the comparable period ended December
31, 1995. This substantial increase in revenue and profits is primarily due to
the Company's national marketing program coupled with the publication of a
recent clinical trial study in a medical journal, proving the effectiveness of
Cold-Eeze(R) as a remedy for the common cold symptoms. Prior to the release of
this study, financial information reported does not really compare to the
financial relationships that are present in the three-months period ended
December 31, 1996.
Operating expenses, such as delivery, brokerage commissions, promotion,
and advertising costs, increased significantly over the prior comparable period
due to the national marketing efforts of the Cold-Eeze(R) product. These
expenses accounted for approximately $585,202 of the total operating costs of
$802,823 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to total
operating costs of $134,090 for the prior comparable period.
Total assets of $6,335,373, working capital of $3,777,464 and
shareholders' equity of $4,831,262 for the period ended December 31, 1996,
increased dramatically from the prior comparable period. This occurred primarily
from significant sales increases which thereby increased accounts receivable by
$1,593,746 and inventories by $242,393. Also, issuance of common stock related
transactions totaling $1,815,795 contributed to the balance sheet increases.
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
For the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported revenues of
$1,049,561 and a net loss of ($694,269), as compared with revenues of $501,903
and a net loss of ($152,556) for the comparable period ended September 30, 1995.
This substantial increase in revenue is primarily attributable to gradual market
acceptance of the Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge products. The gradual market acceptance
of the Cold-Eeze(R) product resulted from a national marketing program commenced
in the fourth quarter for the year ended September 30, 1996 and the release of
the results of The Cleveland Clinic Study in July, 1996. Sales in 1995 were
$501,903, most of which resulted following the Company's marketing shift from
health food bars to cold-relief products.
Cost of Goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 27.1%
for the year ended September 30, 1996 from 22.3% for the year
-19-
ended September 30, 1995. The slight increase was similarly caused by the
Company's change in its product mix toward developing and marketing the
Cold-Eeze(R) products instead of health food bars. During the year ended
September 30, 1996, operating expenses similarly increased to $1,493,794 from
$552,696 in the year ended September 30, 1995. This was primarily a result of
increased costs associated with a national marketing program and the increased
sales volume from the Cold-Eeze(R) product during the year ended September 30,
1996.
During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company's major operating
expenses included $558,281 for salaries and $570,752 for advertising which
collectively accounted for $1,129,033 or approximately 75.6% of the Company's
operating expenses. Other operating costs for this period maintained their fixed
attributes, in that they did not follow sales volume but maintained a relative
constant dollar value for the year ended September 30, 1995. During the year
ended September 30, 1995, these expenses included $106,660 for salaries and
$93,931 for advertising. If these two categories of expenses maintained the same
relationship to net sales from the year ended September 30, 1995, then the net
loss for the year ended September 30, 1996 would have changed to basically a
break even.
For future periods, a normal profitable relationship should develop for
all costs and operating expenses as they relate to sales. However, this will not
occur until certain break even sales volume levels are achieved to absorb
certain fixed costs of the Company. The pricing structure of the Company's
product is designed to render the Company profitable after base line sales
volume levels are attained.
The total assets of the Company at September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1995 were $1,368,301 and $437,076 respectively. Working capital increased to
$910,970 from $287,281 for the respective periods. These significant increases
are due primarily to increased sales volume, the acquisition of the use patent,
and funds or paid in capital generated from the sale, exercise or exchange for
services of the Company's Common Stock, options, and warrants.
At September 30, 1996, the Company's backlog was approximately $2
million as compared to no backlog at September 30, 1995. The backlog increase
was attributable to a growth in sales of the Company's Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge
products.
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company reported revenues of
$501,903 and a net loss of ($152,556), as compared with revenues of $76,907 and
a loss of ($73,784) for the comparable period ended September 30, 1994. This
dramatic change in revenue is primarily attributable to the Company's initial
marketing efforts of its cold-relief products, through the "QVC" television
-20-
shopping network, which represents approximately $261,000 or 52% of the total
revenues for the year ended September 30, 1995, and growing interest of the
product by consumers in the marketplace.
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 22.3%
for the year ended September 30, 1995 from 34.8% for the year ended September
30, 1994. The occurred because the Company's change in its product mix toward
developing and marketing the Cold- Eeze(R) products primarily through QVC, which
carried a lower cost of sales than health food and other cold-relief products.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the health food bars accounted
for approximately 1% of total net sales as opposed to approximately 27% in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1994.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, operating expenses
increased to $552,696 from $180,015 in the year ended September 30, 1994.
However, as a percentage of net sales, operating costs decreased to 110.1% in
the year ended September 30, 1995 from 234.1% in the fiscal year ended September
30, 1994. Even though total operating costs were lower as a percentage of net
sales, certain expenses increased in the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995
causing a greater loss from operations to be reported. During the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1995, advertising and professional expenses increased to
$93,931 and $69,325, respectively, compared to $3,056 and ($8,081), respectively
for the year ended September 30, 1994.
The Company had working capital of $287,281 for its fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to a working capital deficiency of ($59,998) for
its fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. This improvement in working capital
was due primarily to a significant increase in revenues to $501,903 in the year
ended September 30, 1995 from $76,907 in the year ended September 30, 1994,
combined with additional capital obtained by the Company through sale of Common
Stock.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company did not have any current material
commitments for capital expenditures.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had working capital of $910,970 and $287,281 at September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in working capital is due to the
proceeds received by the Company from the sale or exchange of common stock for
cash or services and increased sales of $547,658. Total cash balances at
September 30, 1996 were $370,147, as compared to $132,739 at September 30, 1995.
The Company believes that its increased marketing efforts and increased
national publicity concerning the Cold-Eeze(R) product, together with the
Company's increased manufacturing availability, will result in significantly
increased revenues in the year ending December 31, 1997. These revenues will
provide an internal source of capital to fund the Company's business operations.
In addition to anticipated earnings from operations, the Company may continue
-21-
to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities or short term
borrowing with commercial banks to finance anticipated growth.
Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that
have or are reasonably likely or expected to have a material negative impact
upon the Company's (a) short term or long term liquidity, (b) net sales or
revenues or income from continuing operations and (c) the Company's business
operations may not be considered to be cyclical and/or seasonable in nature. Any
challenge to the Company's rights under certain patents could have a material
adverse effect on future liquidity of the Company, however, the Company is not
aware of any condition which would make such an event probable.
Management believes that its present cash balances and future cash
provided by operating activities will be sufficient to support current working
capital requirements and planned expansion through the year ending December 31,
1997. However, should the Company's business expand significantly, additional
external sources of financing would be required. While the Company believes that
such financing would be available to it, there can be no assurance in this
regard.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Since the Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge product is manufactured for the Company
by outside sources, capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1997
are not anticipated to be material.
There are significant royalty agreements between the Company and the
patent holders of the Company's cold-relief product. The Company has entered
into royalty agreements with Godfrey Science & Design, Inc. and George Eby
Research that require payments of 3% of gross sales and with Guy J. Quigley and
Charles A. Phillips who share a royalty of 5% of gross sales (in a ratio of
3.75% and 1.25%, respectively). Additionally, Dr. John C. Godfrey and Dr. Nancy
J. Godfrey receive a consulting fee of 2% of gross sales. All such royalty and
consulting arrangements are subject to certain adjustments, and payments are
required by the Company only after funds are remitted from such sales. See,
Description of Business- Royalty and Employment Agreements.
The agreements expire as follows: the agreement with George Eby
Research expires on March 5, 2002; the agreements with each of Godfrey Science &
Design, Dr. John C. Godfrey, and Dr. Nancy J. Godfrey expire on May 4, 2007; and
the agreements with Guy J. Quigley and Charles A. Phillips expire on May 31,
2005. All costs associated with the cold-relief product, including the royalty
and consulting agreements, have been built into the wholesale selling price of
the product, in order to render the operations profitable after a certain base
sales volume has been achieved.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
The Quigley Corporation (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation which
was organized on August 24, 1989 and commenced business operations in October,
1989. Since its inception, the Company has conducted research and development
into various types of health-related food supplements and homeopathic cold
remedies.
The Company's initial business was the marketing and distribution of a
line of nutritious health supplements (hereinafter "Nutri-Bars"). Beginning in
1995, the Company minimized its marketing of the Nutri-Bars and focused its
efforts on the development and marketing of the Company's patented Cold- Eeze(R)
zinc gluconate cold relief lozenge product.
Since June, 1996, the Company has concentrated its business operations
exclusively on the manufacturing, marketing and development of its proprietary
Cold-Eeze(R) and Cold-Eezer Plus cold- remedy lozenge products and on
development of various product extensions. The Company's lozenge products are
based upon a proprietary zinc gluconate formula which in a clinical study
conducted by The Cleveland Clinic has been shown to reduce the severity and
duration of the common cold symptoms. The Quigley Corporation acquired
world-wide manufacturing and distribution rights to this formulation in 1992
from Dr. John Godfrey and commenced national marketing in 1996.
THE COLD-EEZE(R) COLD REMEDY LOZENGE
In May, 1992, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement for
worldwide representation, manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights to a
zinc gluconate/glycine lozenge formulation developed by Dr. John C. Godfrey,
Ph.D., and patented in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Italy,
Canada, Germany, and pending in Japan. This product is presently being marketed
by the Company under the tradename Cold-Eeze(R) by the Company directly and also
through independent brokers and marketers, and is a featured product on the QVC
Cable TV shopping network.
In 1996, the Company also acquired an exclusive license to a zinc
gluconate use patent which had been patented by George Eby III, thereby assuring
the Company of exclusivity in the manufacturing and marketing of zinc gluconate
formulated cold relief products.
Under an FDA approved Investigational New Drug Application, filed by
Dartmouth College, a randomized double-blind placebo- controlled study
(randomized study), conducted at Dartmouth College Health Science, Hanover, New
Hampshire, concluded that the lozenge
-24-
formulation treatment, initiated within 48 hours of symptom onset, resulted in a
significant reduction in the total duration of the common cold symptoms.
On May 22, 1992, ZINC AND THE COMMON COLD, A CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY,
by Dr. Godfrey, et al., was published in England, in the "Journal of
International Medical Research", Volume 20, Number 3, Pages 234-246. According
to Dr. Godfrey (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 new, patented pleasant-tasting
formulation delivers approximately 93% of the active Zinc to the mucosal
surfaces and (c) the patient has the same sequence of symptoms as in the absence
of treatment, but goes through the phases at an accelerated rate and with
reduced symptom severity.
On July 15, 1996, results of a new randomized double-blind
placebo-controlled study on the common cold, which commenced at the CLEVELAND
CLINIC FOUNDATION on October 3rd, 1994 was 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 our Dartmouth Study), the results still
showed a 42% reduction in the duration of the Common Cold symptoms.
The Company's executive offices are located at Landmark Building, PO
Box 1349, Doylestown, PA 18901. The telephone number of the Company is (215)
345-0919. The Company maintains a home page on the Internet at
http://www.quigleyco.com and can be reached by e-mail at quigley@quigleyco.com.
CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
The Cold-Eeze(R) lozenge products are distributed through numerous
independent and chain drug and discount stores throughout the United States,
including Walgreen's, Revco, Osco/Sav-On, Thrift Drug, CVS, RiteAid, Eckerd,
PharMor, K-Mart, and wholesale distribution including, McKesson, Bergen
Brunswick, Foxmeyer, US Health Distributors. The Cold-Eezer Plus product is
marketed through an exclusive sales agreement with the QVC cable shopping
network. The Company is not dependent on any single customer.
-25-
The Company currently uses a single supplier to provide its zinc
gluconate products. The Company entered into an exclusive supply agreement
effective as of March 17, 1997, pursuant to which such supplier will exclusively
manufacture and package the Company's zinc gluconate lozenges for an initial
period expiring on March 16, 2000. The contract provides for a yearly renewal,
unless terminated by either party upon two (2) years written notice. Should this
relationship terminate, the Company believes that the contingency plans which it
has formulated would prevent such termination from materially affecting the
Company's operations. Any such termination may, however, result in a temporary
delay in production until a replacement facility with available production time
is located.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development costs for the year ended
September 31, 1996 and the year ended September 30, 1995 was $41,856 and
$70,711, respectively. The decrease in research and development costs is
attributable to the Company's completion of its research and development
projects with respect to the Cold- Eeze(R) product. The clinical study conducted
by The Cleveland Clinic was done at no cost to the Company. The Company will in
the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 incur research and development
expenditures to develop extensions of the lozenge product, including potential
pediatric Cold-Eeze(R), along with chewing gum and mouthwash formulations of the
Cold-Eeze(R) product.
PATENTS
The Company currently owns no patents. However, the Company has been
granted an exclusive agreement for worldwide representation, manufacturing,
marketing and distribution rights to a zinc/gluconate/glycine lozenge
formulation developed by Dr. John C. Godfrey, Ph.D., and patented as follows:
UNITED STATES: No. 4 684 528 (August 4, 1987) AND
No. 4 758 439 (July 19, 1988)
GERMANY: No. 3,587,766 (March 2, 1994)
FRANCE & ITALY: No. EP 0 183 840 B1 (March 2, 1994)
SWEDEN. No. 0 183 840 (March 2, 1994)
CANADA: No. 1 243 952 (November 1, 1988)
GREAT BRITAIN: No. 2 179 536 (December 21, 1988)

In 1996, the Company also acquired exclusive license for a United
States ZINC GLUCONATE USE PATENT NUMBER RI 33,465 from the patent holder George
Eby of George Eby Research. This use patent gives The Company the only
world-wide entity with rights to both USE and FORMULATION patents on zinc
gluconate for reducing the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms.
-26-
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. Many of the products offered by the Company's competitors only relieve
the symptoms of the common cold and management believes that its product, which
has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of the 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 and reliability, credit terms, name recognition, delivery time and
post-sale service and support.
REGULATORY MATTERS
The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and
advertising of the Company's cold-relief products are subject to regulation by
one or more federal agencies, including the United States Food and Drug
Administration ("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. In addition, the FTC has
overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the promotion and advertising
of vitamins, over-the-counter drugs, cosmetics and foods.
Since the Company does not engage in the manufacturing process of its
cold-relief products, it is not subject to many of these regulations. In
addition, the Company's cold-relief product is a homeopathic remedy which is
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.
The Company's business is also regulated by various agencies of the
states and localities in which the Company's products are sold and 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 the Company's
products.
The Company cannot predict whether new domestic or foreign legislation
regulating its activities will be enacted. Regulatory and legislative changes
can affect the economics of the industry by
-27-
requiring changes in operating practices or by influencing the demand for, and
the costs of providing the Company's products. Such new legislation could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Failure to comply with any applicable
requirements can result in sanctions being imposed on the Company or the
manufacturers of its products, including warning letters, fines, product recalls
and seizures.
Management believes that the Company is in compliance with all such
laws, regulations and standards currently in effect including the Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act of 1938 and HPUS. Management further believes that the cost of
compliance with such laws, regulations and standards has not and will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
-28-
EMPLOYEES
The Company currently has nine (9) full-time employees, of whom all
were involved in an executive, marketing or administrative capacity. None of the
Company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement or is a
member of a union. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to
be good.
PROPERTIES
The Company currently maintains its executive offices at the Landmark
Building, 10 South Clinton Street, Doylestown, PA (and its alternative mailing
address is P.O. Box 1349, Doylestown, PA 18901) where it occupies approximately
2,000 square feet of office space pursuant to a written 3-year lease agreement
with an unaffiliated landlord. The Company also occupies approximately 2,500
square feet of warehouse space under a one-year lease agreement with an
unaffiliated landlord. The monthly aggregate lease payments for both premises is
$ 2,470. The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate for its
current needs and that additional facilities in its service area are available
to meet future needs.

The Company is not presently a party to any material litigation nor, to
the knowledge of management, is any material litigation threatened.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of the Company is 51,000,000 shares,
consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0005 par value per share and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share ("Preferred
Stock"). As of June 30, 1997, there were 11,736,268 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. After the completion of this Offering and after giving effect to
the exercise of warrants into 5,480,000 shares, there will be 17,216,268 shares
of Common Stock outstanding. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently
outstanding.
COMMON STOCK
All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered
hereby will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to
preferences that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock outstanding at the
time, shareholders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in such
dividends and distributions as may from time to time be declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company from funds legally available therefor and upon
liquidation will be entitled to share ratably in any assets of the Company
legally available for distribution to holders of the Common Stock. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws do not confer any preemptive,
subscription, redemption or conversion rights on the holders of Common Stock.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of
record on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. There is no
cumulative voting, which means that holders of a majority of the voting power
may elect all of the directors.
-36-
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company's authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one
or more series, and the Board of Directors is authorized, without further action
by the shareholders, to designate the rights, preferences, limitations and
restrictions of and upon shares of each series, including dividend, voting,
redemption and conversion rights. The Board of Directors also may designate par
value, preferences in liquidation and the number of shares constituting any
series. The Company believes that the availability of Preferred Stock issuable
in series will provide increased flexibility for structuring possible future
financings and acquisitions, if any, and in meeting other corporate needs. It is
not possible to state the actual effect of the authorization and issuance of any
series of Preferred Stock upon the rights of holders of Common Stock until the
Board of Directors determines the specific terms, rights and preferences of a
series of Preferred Stock. However, such effects might include, among other
things, restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of
the Common Stock, or impairing liquidation rights of such shares without further
action by holders of the Common Stock. In addition, under various circumstances,
the issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of facilitating, as well as
impeding or discouraging, a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, the assumption
of control by a holder of a large block of the Company's securities or the
removal of incumbent management. Issuance of Preferred Stock could also
adversely effect the market price of the Common Stock. The Company has no
present plan to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Following this offering, no shareholders of the Company's Common Stock
will have rights to register those shares for sale to the public under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
NEVADA LAW AND CORPORATE PROVISIONS AFFECTING SHAREHOLDERS
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws contain certain
provisions which may deter, discourage, or make more difficult the assumption of
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 include an unusually large number of authorized shares of Common
Stock (50,000,000) the authorization of the Board of Directors to issue
Preferred Stock as described above and the prohibition of cumulative voting. The
overall effect of these provisions may be to deter a future tender offer or
other takeover attempt that some shareholders might view to be in their best
interest as the offer might include a premium over the market price of the
Company's
-37-
capital stock at the time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of
assisting the Company's current management in retaining its position and place
it in a better position to resist changes which some shareholders may want it to
make if dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company's business. See "Risk
Factors - Anti-Takeover Provisions."
Furthermore, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law
("NGCL") allows 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 by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The NGCL
permits 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.
The foregoing provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative
litigation against directors and officers and discourage or deter shareholders
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
and its shareholders. In addition, to the extent that the Company expends funds
to indemnify directors and officers, funds will be unavailable for operational
purposes. See "Risk Factors Indemnification of Officers and Directors."
TRANSFER AGENT
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company, New York, New York.

There is no assurance that the Selling Shareholders which hold warrants to
purchase Common Stock from the Company will exercise such warrants or that such
Selling Shareholder or any other Selling Shareholder will otherwise opt to sell
any of the Shares offered hereby. To the extent required, the specific Shares to
be sold, the names of the Selling Shareholders, other additional shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by such Selling Shareholders, the public
offering price of the Shares to be sold, the names of any agent, dealer or
underwriter employed by such Selling Shareholders in connection with such sale,
and any applicable commission or discount with respect to a particular offer
will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
The Shares covered by this Prospectus may be sold from time to time so long as
this Prospectus remains in effect; provided, however, that the Selling
Shareholders are first required to contact the Company's Corporate Secretary to
confirm that this Prospectus is in effect. The Company intends to distribute to
each Selling Shareholder a letter setting forth the procedures whereby such
Selling Shareholder may use the Prospectus to sell the shares and under what
conditions the Prospectus may not be used. The Selling Shareholders expect to
sell the Shares at prices then attainable, less ordinary brokers' commissions
and dealers' discounts as applicable.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker or dealer to or through whom any of
the Shares are sold may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock offered hereby, and any profits
realized by the Selling Shareholders or such brokers or dealers may be deemed to
be underwriting commissions. Brokers' commissions and dealers' discounts, taxes
and other selling expenses to be borne by the Selling Shareholders are not
expected to exceed normal selling expenses for sales over-the-counter or
otherwise, as the case may be. The registration of the Shares under the
Securities Act shall
-42-
not be deemed an admission by the Selling Shareholders or the Company that the
Selling Shareholders are underwriters for purposes of the Securities Act of any
Shares offered under this Prospectus.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This Prospectus covers 5,480,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. All of
the Shares offered hereby are being sold by the Selling Shareholders. The
securities covered by this Prospectus may be sold under Rule 144 instead of
under this Prospectus. The Company will realize no proceeds from the sale of the
Shares by the Selling Shareholders, but will receive amounts upon exercise of
the Warrants, which amounts will be used for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
The distribution of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders is not subject to
any underwriting agreement. The Selling Shareholders may sell the Shares offered
hereby from time to time in transactions on one or more exchanges, in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or a combination of such
methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices
or at negotiated prices. In addition, from time to time the Selling Shareholders
may engage in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other
transactions in securities of the Company or derivatives thereof, and may sell
and deliver the shares in connection therewith.
From time to time the Selling Shareholders may pledge their Shares pursuant to
the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its brokers. Upon a
default by the Selling Shareholders, the broker may offer and sell the pledged
Shares.
Such transactions may be effected by selling the Shares to or through
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the
purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to
whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of the customary commissions). The Selling
Shareholders and any broker-dealers that participate with the Selling
Shareholders in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commissions
received by them and any profit on the resale of the Shares may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling
Shareholders will pay any transaction costs associated with effecting any sales
that occur.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable,
the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
-43-
certain states the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied with by the Company
and the Selling Shareholders.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in
market-making activities with respect to the Company's Common Stock for a period
of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition
and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including without limitation, Rules 10b-6, 10b-6A and 10b-7, which
provisions may limit the timing of the purchases and sales of shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders are not restricted as to the price or prices at which
it may sell their Shares. Sales of such Shares may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Common Stock. Moreover, the Selling Shareholders are not
restricted as to the number of Shares that may be sold at any time, and it is
possible that a significant number of Shares could be sold at the same time
which may also have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's
Common Stock.
The Company has agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the Shares, except selling commissions and fees and expenses of
counsel or any other professionals or other advisors, if any, to the Selling
Shareholders.
This Prospectus also may be used, with the Company's consent, by donees or
other transferees of the Selling Shareholders, or by other persons acquiring the
Common Stock under circumstances requiring or making desirable the use of this
Prospectus for the offer and sale of such shares.
LEGAL MATTERS
The legality of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company
by Olshan Grundman Frome & Rosenzweig LLP, New York, New York.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements and schedules of the Company
incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in this Registration
Statement as of September 30, 1995, and 1996 included in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 have been audited by Nachum
Blumenfruct CPA, independent public accountant, as indicated in his report with
-44-
respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of Mr.
Blumenfruct as experts in giving said reports.
CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS
On January 29, 1997, the Company determined to change accountants to Coopers &
Lybrand LLP. The Company's prior auditor, Nachum Blumenfruct, CPA resigned and
on the same date, the Company engaged Coopers & Lybrand, LLP, to audit its
financial statements. The decision to change accountants was made with the
approval of the Company's Board of Directors and was a result of the dramatic
expansion of business operations since the close of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996.
The Company believes, and has been advised by Nachum Blumenfruct that it
concurs in such belief, that, the Company and Mr. Blumenfruct did not have any
disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Mr. Blumenfruct, would have caused him to make
reference in connection with his report on the Company's financial statements to
the subject matter of the disagreement.
No report of Mr. Blumenfruct on the Company's financial statements for either
of the past two fiscal years contained an adverse opinion, a disclaimer or
opinion or a qualification (other than a going concern qualification) or was
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During such
fiscal periods, there were no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item
304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
The Board of Directors
The Quigley Corporation
Doylestown, Pennsylvania
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Quigley
Corporation as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related Statements of
Operations, Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity for the periods ended September
30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Quigley
Corporation as of September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations
and its Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity for the periods ended September 30,
1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company suffered
losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 1, effective October 1, 1993, the Company has
changed its method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.

THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL
The Quigley Corporation (the "Company"), organized under the laws of the state
of Nevada, is primarily engaged in the development and marketing of homeopathic
cold remedies. The products developed are being offered to the general public
through distributors, brokers, mail order, and are currently being featured on
the QVC Cable TV shopping network. For the fiscal periods presented, and for the
immediate future, the Company plans to continue concentrating its efforts in the
promotion of its major product "Cold-Eeze". This product is covered by patents
registered in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Italy, Canada,
Germany and pending in Japan. Research is continuing on this product in order to
maximize its full potential use for the general public.
On July 15, 1996, results were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine -
Vol. 125 No 2, of a new randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of the
common cold, which had commenced at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, on October
3, 1994. This study had results that showed a 42% reduction in the duration of
the common cold.
The Company has exclusive worldwide use, manufacturing, marketing and
distribution rights for the zinc gluconate/glycine lozenge formulation, known as
"Cold-Eeze". The goal of the Company is to have consumers worldwide make
"Cold-Eeze" their preferred choice for relief from the common cold.
The Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1996, the Statements of Operations, and the
Statements of Cash Flows for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. All
adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 in the Companys' Form 10-KSB.
NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On January 15, 1997, the Company split its common stock on a two-for-one basis.
Therefore, all share data such as, par value, earnings per share, options
exercised, warrants granted, cash received or to be received for outstanding
options and warrants are all on a post-split basis.
During the three month period ended December 31, 1995, there were no
transactions affecting stockholders equity.
From October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, there were 2,365,000 shares issued
through the exercise of stock options and warrants of the Company, shares
numbering 54,664 were issued for cash payment, and 140,000 were issued for
services rendered to the Company. The difference between the option payment
price, cash received, or fair market value for services rendered, resulted in an
increase to the additional paid-in-capital of the Company.
As of October 1, 1996, there were 5,810,000 unexercised options and warrants.
During the period ended December 31, 1996, 2,265,000 options and warrants were
exercised at various prices. In November of 1996, the Company issued 350,000
warrants to purchase the Companys' stock at $2.50 per share. At December 31,
1996, there were a total of 3,895,000 (of which 3,595,000 are currently
exercisable) of unexercised issued options and warrants of the Companys' stock.
F-20
NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)
Of the shares issued through the exercise of stock options and warrants, monies
in the amount of $301,419, still owing to the Company, are classified as a
contra account in stockholders' equity.
In addition, the contract, as modified in November 1996, with Sands Brothers &
Co., Ltd., the Companys' investment banker, for the purpose of raising
additional capital needed for expansion, stipulates that "Sands" has the
conditional right to purchase, at $10 per share, 200,000 shares of the Companys'
stock, for every million dollars they identify for the Company in a private
placement of the Companys' stock pursuant to Regulation D. Current plans of the
Company is that the private placement is not to exceed $10 million.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings and net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. During the period ended December 31, 1995, no effect has been given to
unexercised stock options or warrants because the effect would be antidilutive.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes resulted in a credit for the period ended December 31, 1996 because
of an excess valuation account at September 30, 1996 that provided for deferred
taxes at a rate of 15% instead of the 40.5% used at December 31, 1996. Based
upon the expectations for the Company at September 30, 1996, a "qualification
for a going concern" was made in the audit report of the Company. Thereby
indicating the valuation account and rates used were determined to be adequate
at that time.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In November 1996, the Company and George J. Longo entered into an employment
agreement for a period of five years. This agreement provides for, among other
things, that Mr. Longo, commencing in January 1997, is to serve as the Chief
Financial Officer for the Company, a starting base salary of $80,000 per annum,
and the granting of 50,000 warrants to purchase the Companys' stock at $2.50 per
share.
NOTE 6 - OTHER MATTERS
On January 2, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the change of the Comapnys'
fiscal year from September 30 to December 31 to reflect the fiscal year which
has been generally adopted by the pharmaceutical industry. The audited
statements for the transition period October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 will
be filed by the Company of Form 10-KSB for the calendar year ended December 31,
1997, and will be audited by Nachum Blumenfrucht, CPA.
On January 29, 1997, the Company engaged the independent accounting firm of
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to audit the Companys' financial statements for the
calendar year 1997. The replacement of the previous certifying accountant,
Nachum Blumenfrucht, CPA, was made by approval of the Board of Directors of the
Company and with agreement of Mr. Blumenfrucht. This change was due to the
dramatic expansion of business operations undertaken by the Company since the
close of the prior fiscal year. There have been no disagreements with the former
accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, nor any reportable event
required to be disclosed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL
The Quigley Corporation (the "Company"), organized under the laws of the state
of Nevada, is primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing
of homeopathic cold remedies. The products developed are being offered to the
general public through distributors, brokers, mail order, and is regularly
featured on the QVC Cable TV shopping network. For the fiscal periods presented,
and for the immediate future, the Company plans to continue concentrating its
efforts in the promotion of its major proprietary "Cold-Eeze(TM)" and Cold-Eezer
Plus products. These products are based upon a proprietary zinc gluconate
glycine formula which in a clinical study conducted by The Cleveland Clinic, has
been shown to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold. This product
is covered by patents registered in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden,
France, Italy, Canada, Germany and pending in Japan. Research is continuing on
this product in order to maximize its full potential use for the general public.
On July 15, 1996, results of this study were published in the Annals of Internal

"Cold-Eeze(TM)". The goal of the Company is to have consumers worldwide make
"Cold-Eeze(TM)" their preferred choice for relief from the common cold.
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(TM) is a homeopathic remedy which is subject to regulations by various
federal, state and local agencies, including the FDA and the Homeopathic
Pharmacopoeia of the United States.
The Company competes with a various range and size of suppliers in the cold
remedy products arena. Cold-Eeze(TM) has been clinically proven to reduce the
duration and severity of the common cold, whereas the competition's products
only relieve the symptoms of the cold. The management of the Company believes
there should be no future impediment on our ability to compete in the
marketplace now, or in the immediate future, since factors concerning the
product, such as, price, product quality, availability, reliability, credit
terms, name recognition, delivery and support are all properly positioned.
The Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1997, the Statements of Operations, and the
Statements of Cash Flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. All
adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial

have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A, and
the transition quarter ended December 31, 1996, in the Company's Form 10-QSB.
The transition quarter reflects the Company's change from a fiscal year end of
September 30, to a calendar year end, and is reflective of the first quarter
results since the release of The Cleveland Clinic Study in July 1996.
F-26
NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
On January 15, 1997, the Company split its common stock on a two-for-one basis.
Therefore, all share data such as, par value, earnings per share, options and
warrants exercised, cash received or to be received for outstanding options and
warrants are all on a post-split basis.
From January 1, 1997 to March 31, 1997, there were 40,000 shares issued through
the exercise of stock options and warrants of the Company, shares numbering
17,884 were issued for cash payment, 264,120 were issued for services rendered
to the Company, and 729,928 shares were returned to the Company to be placed in
treasury. The difference between the option payment price, cash received, or
fair market value for services rendered, resulted in an increase to the
additional paid-in-capital of the Company.
At March 31, 1997, there were a total of 4,940,000 (of which 4,640,000 are
currently exerciseable) of unexercised issued options and warrants of the
Company's stock.
Of the shares issued through the exercise of stock options and warrants, monies
in the amount of $347,630 still owing to the Company, are classified as a contra
account in stockholder's equity.
In addition, the contract, as modified in November 1996, with Sands Brothers &
Co., Ltd., the Company's investment banker, for the purpose of raising
additional capital needed for expansion, stipulates that "Sands" has the
conditional right to purchase, at $10 per share, 200,000 shares of the Company's
stock, for every million dollars they identify for the Company in a private
placement of the Company's stock pursuant to Regulation D. The Company desired
that the private placement was not to exceed $10 million.
During the period ended March 31, 1997, the Company decided not to pursue a
private placement offering. Therefore, the aforementioned possible additional
warrants for "Sands" will not materialize. However, in order to cancel this
arrangement with "Sands", which was subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company
issued to "Sands" 350,000 additional warrants to purchase the Company's stock at
$10 per share. Accordingly, a provision for loss of $700,000 ($417,000 net of
taxes) for a total of 1,150,000 warrants issued to "Sands", and other expenses
expected to be incurred, was charged against earnings for the period ended March
31, 1997. Also, the Company canceled a contract with a consulting firm that was
previously issued 350,000 options to purchase the Company's stock. A provision
of $91,000 ($54,000 net of taxes), was charged against earnings during this
period ended March 31, 1997. The provision for loss for these canceled
agreements, which is based upon the current information available, may be
adjusted, as a further valuation is made for these warrants.
On March 27, 1997, the Company received a net return to treasury 486,862 shares
of its stock because of a favorable ruling from litigation commenced against
Nutritional Foods, Ltd. ("NFL"). The total shares recovered was 729,928. As
payment for legal services, 243,066 restricted shares were issued on March 27,
1997 with a discounted market value for these shares of $1,145,358. This
discounted value then became the cost of the net treasury stock ($2.35 per
share) returned to the Company.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings and net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
Using the modified treasury stock method, increased the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period ended March 31, 1997 by 4,305,014
shares, or a total number of weighted shares outstanding of 16,368,844. During
the period ended March 31, 1996, no effect has been given to unexercised stock
options or warrants because the effect would be antidilutive.
F-27
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which simplifies
the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS. The effective date is for
accounting periods ending after December 15, 1997, with restatement for prior
periods presented after December 15, 1997.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes includes both deferred and currently payable taxes. Deferred income
taxes result from temporary differences which consist of a different tax base
for assets and liabilities than their reported amounts in the financial
statements. The deferred tax asset of $967,975 consists principally of future
tax deductions from the issuance of options, warrants and restricted stock. For
the period ended March 31, 1997 an effective tax rate is provided for deferred
and currently payable taxes at 40.5%. Since the Company was in a Net Operating
Loss position at March 31, 1996, only $628 was provided as the amount that was
expected to be realized.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company maintains certain royalty agreements with the founders and
developers, licensors, and consultants for the Cold-Eeze(TM) product. The gross
royalty is 13% of sales collected before certain deductions. Representative
Agreements are in place for several Brokers and Distributors, both Nationally
and Internationally. These agreements are sales performance based. In addition
the Company has also issued incentive common stock purchase options to its
Brokers, Distributors and Representatives. Additionally, there are employment
agreements in place with certain officers of the Company that expire in 2005 or
earlier, and provide for among other things, a minimum annual base compensation.
During the period ended March 31, 1997, an agreement with the manufacturer of
the Cold-Eeze(TM) product for the Company was entered for a period of three
years. Also, the Company has contractual commitments for advertising amounting
to approximately $2,700,000.
Included in the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997, are
provisions for estimated costs to litigate the settlement of certain agreements
and infringements of the Company's proprietary Cold-Eeze(TM) product by certain
competitors.
NOTE 6 - OTHER MATTERS
On January 2, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the change of the Company's
fiscal year from September 30 to December 31 to reflect the fiscal year which
has been generally adopted by the pharmaceutical industry. The audited
statements for the transition period October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, will
be audited by Nachum Blumenfrucht, CPA, and filed by the Company within Form
10-KSB for the calendar year ended December 31, 1997.
On January 29, 1997, the Company engaged the independent accounting firm of
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to audit the Company's financial statements for the
calendar year 1997. The replacement of the previous certifying accountant,
Nachum Blumenfrucht, CPA, was made by approval of the Board of Directors of the
Company and with agreement of Mr. Blumenfrucht. This change was due to the
dramatic expansion of business operations undertaken by the Company since the
close of the prior fiscal year. There have been no disagreements with the former
accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, nor any reportable event
required to be disclosed.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's By-laws authorize indemnification of directors and
officers as follows:
ARTICLE V - INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
Section 1. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. No officer, director or shareholder may become surety on
behalf of the corporation for any of its obligations under any circumstances
whatsoever.
See Item 9(e) below for information regarding the position of the
Commission with respect to the effect of any indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law provides as
follows:
"1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of
the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent
II-1
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of
NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to
which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable
to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction
determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of
the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court deems proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent
of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1
and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be
indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys'
fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense.
II-2
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless
ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made
by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be
made:
(a) By the shareholders;
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or
proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties
to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion.
5. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement
made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and
directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or
officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any
rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other
than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or
otherwise by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized
in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an
action in his official capacity or an action in other capacity while
holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a
court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made
pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any
director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts
or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
II-3
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sales securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to;
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in
the information in the registration statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat
each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and in the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
II-5
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
