ProPhase Labs Reports Financial Results

for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2013

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania – May 6, 2013.  ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH, www.ProPhaseLabs.com) today reported a net sales increase of 25.3% to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net sales of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company realized net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of $290,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $688,000, or ($0.05) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The improved financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2012 was due principally to increased revenues while the Company maintained comparable operating expenses from period to period.

Ted Karkus, ProPhase Labs' Chairman and CEO stated, “Much like in 2012, our goal going forward is to introduce new Cold-EEZE^® branded products which efficiently leverage our marketing dollars and leverage our strengthening distribution platform.  As previously articulated, our next generation of Cold-EEZE^® products (which we expect to be on shelves in the fall of 2013) will not be new flavors of lozenges but rather Cold-EEZE^® products in new delivery forms that shorten the duration of the common cold as well as provide additional health benefits. As evidenced in our most recent financial results, we continue to make excellent progress toward our long term strategy of increasing the value of the Cold-EEZE Cold Remedy brand and the value of our Company to the benefit of all shareholders.”
