Note 1 – Organization and Business

ProPhase Labs, Inc. (“we”, “us” or the “Company”), was initially organized in Nevada in July 1989. Effective June 18, 2015, we changed our state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. We are a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health care products that are offered to the general public. We are also engaged in the research and development of potential over-the-counter (“OTC”) drug, natural base health products along with supplement, personal care and cosmeceutical products.

Our primary business is the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of OTC heath care and cold remedy products to consumers through national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores. Our flagship brand is Cold-EEZE^® and our principal product is Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy zinc gluconate lozenges, proven in clinical studies to reduce the duration of the common cold. In addition to Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges, we market and distribute non-lozenge forms of our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation (i) Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® and (ii) Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray. Each of our Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® products are based on our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation in combination with certain natural (i) immune system support, (ii) energy, (iii) sleep and relaxation, and/or (iv) cold and flu symptom relieving active ingredients. We began shipping in the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 three new Cold-EEZE^® product line extensions: (i) a Cold-EEZE^® Multi-Symptom Relief for Cold and Flu lozenge, (ii) a Cold-EEZE^® Daytime and Nighttime Multi-Symptom Relief in liquid forms for each of adults and children, and (iii) Cold-EEZE^® Natural Allergy Relief caplets for indoor and outdoor allergies. Cold-EEZE^® is an established product in the health care and cold remedy market. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we operated in one reporting segment and our revenues have come principally from our OTC health care and cold remedy products.

We use a December 31 year-end for financial reporting purposes. References herein to “Fiscal 2015” shall mean the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and references to other “Fiscal” years shall mean the year, which ended on December 31 of the year indicated. The term “we”, “us” or the “Company” as used herein also refer, where appropriate, to the Company, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and within the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements and therefore do not include all disclosures that might normally be required for financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved over the course of the full year.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Seasonality of the Business

Our net sales are derived principally from our OTC heath care and cold remedy products. Currently, our sales are influenced by and subject to fluctuations in the timing of purchase and the ultimate level of demand for our products which are a function of the timing, length and severity of each cold season. Generally, a cold season is defined as the period of September to March when the incidence of the common cold rises as a consequence of the change in weather and other factors. We generally experience in the first, third and fourth quarter higher levels of net sales along with a corresponding increase in marketing and advertising expenditures designed to promote our products during the cold season. Revenues and related marketing costs are generally at their lowest levels in the second quarter when consumer demand generally declines. We track health and wellness trends and develop retail promotional strategies to align our production scheduling, inventory management and marketing programs to optimize consumer purchases.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Examples include the provision for bad debt, sales returns and allowances, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets, income tax valuations and assumptions related to accrued advertising. When providing for the appropriate sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs (“Sales Allowances”), we apply a uniform and consistent method for making certain assumptions for estimating these provisions. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our primary product, Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges, utilizes a proprietary zinc gluconate formulation which has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. Factors considered in estimating the appropriate sales returns and allowances for this product include it being (i) a unique product with limited competitors, (ii) competitively priced, (iii) promoted, (iv) unaffected for remaining shelf-life as there is no product expiration date and (v) monitored for inventory levels at major customers and third-party consumption data. In addition to Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges, we market and distribute a variety of Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® and a Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray. We also manufacture, market and distribute an organic cough drop and a Vitamin C supplement (“Organix^®”). Each of the Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray and QuickMelts^® products, and Organix^® products carry shelf-life expiration dates for which we aggregate such new product market experience data and update our sales returns and allowances estimates accordingly. Sales allowances estimates are tracked at the specific customer and product line levels and are tested on an annual historical basis, and reviewed quarterly. Additionally, we monitor current developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions relative to net sales for the period presented.

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash on hand and monies invested in money market funds. The carrying amount approximates the fair market value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (FIFO), or market. Inventory items are analyzed to determine cost and the market value and appropriate valuation adjustments are established. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the financial statements include adjustments to reduce inventory for excess or obsolete inventory of $431,000 and $797,000, respectively. The components of inventory are as follows (in thousands):

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. We use the straight-line method in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation expense is computed in accordance with the following ranges of estimated asset lives: building and improvements - ten to thirty-nine years; machinery and equipment - three to seven years; computer software - three years; and furniture and fixtures – five years.

Concentration of Risks

Future revenues, costs, margins, and profits will continue to be influenced by our ability to maintain our manufacturing availability and capacity together with our marketing and distribution capabilities and the regulatory requirements associated with the development of OTC and other personal care products in order to compete on a national level and/or international level.

Our business is subject to federal and state laws and regulations adopted for the health and safety of users of our products. Our OTC heath care and cold remedy products are subject to regulations by various federal, state and local agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and, as applicable, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable.

We maintain cash and cash equivalents with certain major financial institutions. As of September 30, 2015, our cash balance was $1.3 million and our bank balance was $2.0 million. Of the total bank balance, $566,000 was covered by federal depository insurance and $1.4 million was uninsured at September 30, 2015.

Trade accounts receivable potentially subject us to credit concentrations from time-to-time as a consequence of the timing, payment pattern and ultimate purchase volumes or shipping schedules with our customers. We extend credit to our customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally we do not require collateral. Our broad range of customers includes many large national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores. These credit concentrations may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions that may impact the timing and collectability of amounts due to us. As a consequence of an evaluation of our customer’s financial condition, payment patterns, balance due to us and other factors, we did not offset our account receivable with an allowance for bad debt at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Our revenues are principally generated from the sale of OTC heath care and cold remedy products which represented approximately 89% and 95% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. A significant portion of our business is highly seasonal, which causes major variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The first, third and fourth quarters generally represent the largest sales volume for the OTC health care and cold remedy products. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our net sales were principally related to domestic markets.

Long-lived Assets

We review our carrying value of our long-lived assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment exist, we determine whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The determination of fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or independent appraisals; sales price negotiations; or projected future cash flows discounted at a rate determined by management to be commensurate with our business risk. The estimation of fair value utilizing discounted forecasted cash flows includes significant judgments regarding assumptions of revenue, operating and marketing costs; selling and administrative expenses; interest rates; property and equipment additions and retirements; industry competition; and general economic and business conditions, among other factors.

Fair value is based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer. Revenue is reduced for trade promotions, estimated sales returns, cash discounts and other allowances in the same period as the related sales are recorded. We make estimates of potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period revenue. We analyze historical returns, current trends, and changes in customer and consumer demand when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Our return policy accommodates returns for (i) discontinued products, (ii) store closings and (iii) products that have reached or exceeded their designated expiration date. We do not impose a period of time within which product may be returned. All requests for product returns must be submitted to us for pre-approval. The main components of our returns policy are: (i) we will accept returns that are due to damaged product that is un-saleable and such return request activity falls within an acceptable range, (ii) we will accept returns for products that have reached or exceeded designated expiration dates and (iii) we will accept returns in the event that we discontinue a product provided that the customer will have the right to return only such items that it purchased directly from us. We will not accept return requests pertaining to customer inventory “Overstocking” or “Resets”. We will only accept return requests for product in its intended package configuration. We reserve the right to terminate shipment of product to customers who have made unauthorized deductions contrary to our return policy or pursue other methods of reimbursement. We compensate the customer for authorized returns by means of a credit applied to amounts owed or to be owed and in the case of discontinued product only, also by way of an exchange. We do not have any significant product exchange history.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we included a provision for sales allowances of $52,000 and $129,000, respectively, which are reported as a reduction to sales and account receivables. Additionally, accrued advertising and other allowances as of September 30, 2015 included (i) $1.5 million for estimated future sales returns and (ii) $589,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs. As of December 31, 2014, accrued advertising and other allowances included (i) $1.5 million for estimated future sales returns and (ii) $2.1 million for cooperative incentive promotion costs.

Advertising and Incentive Promotions

Advertising and incentive promotion costs are expensed within the period in which they are utilized. Advertising and incentive promotion expense is comprised of (i) media advertising, presented as part of sales and marketing expense, (ii) cooperative incentive promotions and coupon program expenses, which are accounted for as part of net sales, and (iii) free product, which is accounted for as part of cost of sales. Advertising and incentive promotion expenses incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $645,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. Advertising and incentive promotion expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $4.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $1.3 million and $885,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, relating to prepaid advertising and promotion expenses.

Shipping and Handling

Product sales carry shipping and handling charges to the purchaser, included as part of the invoiced price, which is classified as revenue. In all cases, costs related to this revenue are recorded in cost of sales.

Stock Based Compensation

We recognize all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. Fair values of stock options are determined through the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The compensation cost is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award, which usually coincides with the vesting period.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Stock and stock options for the purchase of our common stock, $0.0005 par value, (“Common Stock”) have been granted to both employees and non-employees pursuant to the terms of certain agreements and stock option plans (see Note 3). Stock options are exercisable during a period determined by us, but in no event later than ten years from the date granted. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we charged to operations $34,000 and $63,000, respectively, for share-based compensation expense for the aggregate fair value of stock grants issued and vested stock options earned. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we charged to operations $101,000 and $191,000, respectively, for share-based compensation expense for the aggregate fair value of stock grants issued and vested stock options earned.

Variable Interest Entity

On March 22, 2010, we, Phosphagenics Limited (“PSI Parent”), an Australian corporation, Phosphagenics Inc. (“PSI”), a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of PSI Parent, and Phusion Laboratories, LLC (the “Joint Venture”), a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) of the Joint Venture and additional related agreements for the purpose of developing and commercializing, for worldwide distribution and sale, a wide range of non-prescription remedies using PSI Parent’s proprietary patented TPM™ technology (“TPM”). The Joint Venture, of which we own a 50% membership interest, qualifies as a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we are the current primary beneficiary and we have consolidated the Joint Venture beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (see Note 6).

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $195,000 and $356,000, respectively. Research and development costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $675,000 and $907,000, respectively. Research and development costs are principally related to new product development initiatives and costs associated with our OTC health care and cold remedy products.

Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. Until we have sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations and the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock activities are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax asset is being provided (see Note 4).

We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Any interest or penalties related to income taxes will be recorded as interest or administrative expense, respectively.

As a result of our continuing tax losses, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against a net deferred tax asset. Additionally, we have not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. As amended by ASU No. 2015-14 issued in August 2015, this ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this update require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Companies should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in this update will be effective as of January 1, 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted. We may apply the amendments in this update either: (1) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If a retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. In addition, if a retrospective transition is adopted, we may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption on January 1, 2016 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The amendments in this update state that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB ASU No. 2015-2 “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” which issued guidance that changes the evaluation criteria for consolidation and related disclosure requirements. This guidance introduces evaluation criteria specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities, as well as amends the criteria for evaluating variable interest entities with which the reporting entity is involved and certain investment funds. The guidance will become effective for us at the beginning of our first quarter of Fiscal 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” which requires an entity to measure inventory balances at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption on January 1, 2017 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50 million shares of Common Stock and 1 million shares of preferred stock, $.0005 par value (“Preferred Stock”).

Preferred Stock

On June 16, 2015, our shareholders approved the change our state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware pursuant to a plan of conversion (“Conversion Plan”) and the filing of a certificate of incorporation in the State of Delaware. The Preferred Stock authorized under our certificate of incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series. As of September 30, 2015, no shares of Preferred Stock have been issued. Our board of directors has the full authority permitted by law to establish, without further stockholder approval, one or more series and the number of shares constituting each such series and to fix by resolution voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any. Subject to the limitation on the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that we have authority to issue under our certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is also authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, subsequent to the issue of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then-outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series is so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease will resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. We may amend from time to time our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock or to make other changes or additions.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On September 8, 1998, our Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of Common Stock Purchase Rights (each individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) payable to the stockholders of record on September 25, 1998, thereby creating a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Agreement”). The Plan was subsequently amended effective each of (i) May 23, 2008, (ii) August 18, 2009 and (iii) June 18, 2014. The Rights Agreement, as amended and restated, provides that each Right entitles the stockholder of record to purchase from the Company that number of shares of Common Stock having a combined market value equal to two times the Rights exercise price of $45. The Rights are not exercisable until the distribution date, which will be the earlier of a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the announcement of an intention by a similarly constituted party to make a tender or exchange offer resulting in the ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (such person, the “acquirer”). The Rights Agreement allows for an exemption for Ted Karkus, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to acquire up to 20% of our Common Stock without our Board of Directors declaring a dividend distribution.

Note 3 – Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity – continued

The dividend has the effect of diluting the acquirer by giving our other stockholders a 50% discount on our Common Stock’s current market value for exercising the Rights. In the event of a cashless exercise of the Right and the acquirer has acquired less than 50% beneficial ownership of the Company, a stockholder may exchange one Right for one share of Common Stock of the Company. The Rights Agreement, as amended, includes a provision pursuant to which our Board of Directors may exempt from the provisions of the Rights Agreement an offer for all outstanding shares of our Common Stock that the directors determine to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms. The expiration date of the Rights Agreement, as amended, is June 18, 2024.

2012 Equity Line of Credit

On November 21, 2012, we entered into the equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2012 Equity Line”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP (“Dutchess”) whereby Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 2,500,000 shares of our Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the first trading day following the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the 2012 Equity Line. On November 26, 2012, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register for sale for up to 2,500,000 shares of our Common Stock and the registration statement was deemed effective by the SEC on December 12, 2012. We amended this registration statement effective May 29, 2014 to withdraw and remove from registration all unissued and unsold shares. We also agreed with Dutchess to terminate the 2012 Equity Line as of May 28, 2014.

During the period January 1, 2014 through May 23, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 698,207 shares of Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2012 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $1.2 million. The sales of the shares under the 2012 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder).

2014 Equity Line of Credit

The Company and Dutchess executed an equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2014 Equity Line”) dated May 28, 2014 whereby Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line. On May 29, 2014, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register for sale up to 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2014.

In June 2015, we sold an aggregate of 438,480 shares of our Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $524,000. During the period June 4, 2014 through September 30, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 2,561,520 shares of our Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $3.7 million. The sales of the shares under the 2014 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder). At June 30, 2015, there were no shares of our Common Stock available for sale under the terms of the 2014 Equity Line. As a consequence of the utilization of the 2014 Equity Line, on July 23, 2015 we filed a post-effective amendment to the underlying registration statement for the 2014 Equity Line to terminate the registration statement.

2015 Equity Line of Credit

On July 30, 2015, we entered into a new equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2015 Equity Line”) with Dutchess. Pursuant to the 2015 Equity Line, Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 3,200,000 shares of our Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

We may, at our discretion, draw on the 2015 Equity Line from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2015 Equity Line. The maximum number of shares that we are entitled to put to Dutchess in any one draw down notice shall not exceed 500,000 shares with a purchase price calculated in accordance with the 2015 Equity Line. We may deliver a notice for a subsequent put from time to time, following the one day pricing period for the prior put.

The purchase price shall be set at ninety-five percent (95%) of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Common Stock during the one trading day immediately following our put notice. We have the right to withdraw all or any portion of any put, except that portion of the put that has already been sold to a third party, including any portion of a put that is below the minimum acceptable price set forth on the put notice, before the closing. In the event Dutchess receives more than a five percent (5%) return on the net sales for a specific put, Dutchess must remit such excess proceeds to us; however, in the event Dutchess receives less than a five percent (5%) return on the net sales for a specific put, Dutchess will have the right to deduct from the proceeds of the put amount on the applicable closing date so Dutchess’s return will equal five percent (5%).

There are put restrictions applied on days between the draw down notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, we are entitled to deliver another draw down notice. In addition, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares if Dutchess’ total number of shares beneficially held at that time would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, we are not permitted to draw on the facility unless there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Equity Line, we are obligated to file one or more registrations statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the 2015 Equity Line. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the registration statement is filed. On August 4, 2015, we filed a registration statement for the underlying shares of the 2015 Equity Line with the SEC and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2015.

During the period August 21, 2015 through September 30, 2015, we sold an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2015 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $1.0 million. The sales of the shares under the 2015 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder). At September 30, 2015 we have 2,450,000 shares of our Common Stock available for sale, at our discretion, under the terms of the 2015 Equity Line and covered pursuant to a registration statement.

The 1997 Option Plan

On December 2, 1997, our Board of Directors approved a Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), which was amended in 2005, the 1997 Plan provided for the granting of up to 4.5 million shares of Common Stock. Under the 1997 Plan, we were permitted to grant options to employees, officers or directors of the Company at variable percentages of the market value of stock at the date of grant. No incentive stock option could be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant or five years after the date of grant where the individual owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock. Stockholders approved the 1997 Plan in Fiscal 1998. No options were granted under this Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

We are precluded from issuing any additional options or grants in the future under the 1997 Plan pursuant to the terms of the plan document. Options previously granted continue to be available for exercise at any time prior to such options’ respective expiration dates, but in no event later than ten years from the date granted. At September 30, 2015, there were 26,500 options outstanding under the 1997 Plan with an expiration date of December 2015.

The 2010 Equity Compensation Plan

On May 5, 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan which was subsequently amended, restated and approved by stockholders on April 24, 2011 and further amended and approved by stockholders on May 6, 2013 (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan provides that the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2010 Plan is equal to 2.5 million shares. No options were granted under the 2010 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. At September 30, 2015, there were 19,659 shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan.

There were no stock options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

The 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan

On May 5, 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan which was subsequently amended and approved by stockholders on May 6, 2013. A primary purpose of the 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan is to provide us with the ability to pay all or a portion of the fees of directors in restricted stock instead of cash. The 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan provides that the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan is equal to 425,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014, no shares were granted to directors. At September 30, 2015, there were 147,808 shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan.

Treasury Stock Acquired Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement

Effective September 4, 2014, we consummated a definitive, global Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) resolving all of our litigation with certain of the Company’s former managers and with certain stockholders. The Settlement Agreement amicably resolved these disputes and provided, in part, that certain parties (i) returned to the Company 3,896,764 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for which they are listed as the record owners to the Company; and (ii) paid $440,000 to the Company. In addition, the Company paid $500,000 to the benefit of one of the defendants and $37,000 to a third party, to defray certain costs and expenses associated with the Settlement Agreement.

The 3,896,764 shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement were recorded as treasury stock and as an additional contribution to our additional paid-in capital, valued at $5.1 million, or $1.31 per share, representing the fair value of the shares at September 4, 2014.

Note 4 – Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2014, we have net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $38.6 million for federal purposes that will expire beginning in Fiscal 2020 through Fiscal 2033. Additionally, there are net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $20.1 million for state purposes that will expire beginning in Fiscal 2018 through Fiscal 2033. Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations and the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax asset is being provided. Management believes that this allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing these tax benefits in the future.

Godfrey Settlement Agreement

In November 2004, we commenced an action against John C. Godfrey, Nancy Jane Godfrey, and Godfrey Science and Design, Inc. (together the “Godfreys”) for injunctive relief regarding the ownership of the Cold-EEZE^® trademark. The Godfreys subsequently asserted against us counterclaims and sought monetary damages and injunctive and declaratory relief relative to the Cold-EEZE^® trademark and other intellectual property.

On December 20, 2012, we and the Godfreys, including the Estate of Nancy Jane Godfrey, entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (the “Godfrey Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which we resolved all disputes, including claims asserted by us and counterclaims asserted against us in the action. Pursuant to the terms of the Godfrey Settlement Agreement, we paid the Godfreys $2.1 million in December 2012 and we agreed to make four additional annual payments of $100,000 due in December of each of the next four years. Each annual payment in the amount of $100,000 will accrue interest at the per annum rate of 3.25%. The second annual installment of $100,000 plus accrued interest of $10,000 was paid in December 2014. Under the Godfrey Settlement Agreement, the Godfreys assigned, transferred and conveyed to us all of their right, title, and interest in U.S. Trademark Registration No. 1,838,542 for the trademark Cold-EEZE^®, among other intellectual property associated with such trademark. At each of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other current liabilities and other long term obligations include $100,000 and $100,000, respectively, for the two remaining annual installment payments.

Direct Response Contract

On June 30, 2015, we and Pacific Custom Video Productions Inc. (“PCV”) executed a Direct Response Production Agreement (“DRPA”) to produce a series of direct response television commercials for certain dietary supplement products currently in development by the Company. The cost of the television commercial development is $300,000. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay to PCV a performance incentive in the form of a royalty or commission of 3% of net sales collected, as defined in the agreement, of certain dietary supplement products to be marketed and promoted with PCV. The marketing and promotion of certain dietary supplement products with PCV are projected to commence late in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015 or the first quarter of Fiscal 2016 based upon product availability and other factors. As of September 30, 2015, there were no performance incentive payments earned under the DRPA.

Note 6 – Joint Venture

On March 22, 2010, we, PSI Parent, PSI and the Joint Venture entered into the LLC Agreement of the Joint Venture and additional related agreements for the purpose of developing and commercializing, for worldwide distribution and sale, a wide range of non-prescription remedies using PSI Parent’s proprietary patented TPM. TPM facilitates the delivery and depth of penetration of active molecules in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and other products.

In connection with the LLC Agreement, PSI Parent granted to us, pursuant to the terms of a License Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Original License Agreement”), (i) an exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations), paid-up license to exploit OTC drugs and certain other products that embody certain of PSI Parent’s TPM-related patents and related know-how (collectively, the “PSI Technology”) and (ii) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations), paid-up license to exploit certain compounds that embody the PSI Technology for use in a product combining one or more of such compounds with an OTC drug or in a product that is part of a regimen that includes the application of an OTC drug.

Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, we issued 1,440,000 shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate value of approximately $2.6 million to PSI Parent (such shares, the “PSI Shares”) and made a one-time payment to PSI Parent of $1.0 million in March 2010. We recorded an intangible asset valued at $3.6 million in March 2010 for the acquisition of the PSI Technology license.

In September 2014, we began implementing a series of new product development and pre-commercialization initiatives principally in the dietary supplement category. While several of our product development initiatives have advanced, including those specific to the dietary supplement category, our Phusion product development initiatives had not progressed to management’s satisfaction. At that time, management believed that any products embodying the licensed technology to be developed by Phusion would not be available until Fiscal 2016 or 2017 at the earliest, and may be more limited than previously forecasted and may encompass fewer products or have limited retail distribution.

Note 6 – Joint Venture – continued

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2014, our evaluation of the Company’s progress in its new product development pipeline and delays in Phusion product development caused management to reassess projections (including income projections) relied upon in December 2013. Accordingly, management performed an impairment analysis for the period ended September 30, 2014 for the licensed technology. As a consequence of our impairment assessment, we determined that a full impairment occurred of the intangible asset, licensed technology. As a consequence, we charged to operations a $3.6 million impairment charge during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014.

On October 17, 2014, we initiated a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, case number 01-14-0001-7373. This demand for arbitration pertains to our Phusion joint venture and the matter is against Phosphagenics, Inc. and Phosphagenics LTD (collectively known as the “Phosphagenics Entities”). We have raised certain claims based upon the alleged Phosphagenics Entities’ breach of a certain amended and restated licenses agreement for the exploitation of certain intellectual property and, separately, breach of the Phusion joint venture operating agreement as between the Company and the Phosphagenics Entities. The Phosphagenics Entities have made counter claims of breaches against the Company and Phusion. An arbitration hearing is currently scheduled for December 2015 and at this time, while no prediction as to the outcome of this action can be made, we do not expect a material adverse outcome.

Note 7 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted earnings per share also utilize the treasury stock method which prescribes a theoretical buy-back of shares from the theoretical proceeds of all options and warrants outstanding during the period. Options and warrants outstanding to acquire shares of our Common Stock at September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 1,739,500 and 1,632,500, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the three months ended September 30, 2014 dilutive earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to (i) the inclusion of Common Stock, in the form of stock options and warrants (“Common Stock Equivalents”), would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share or (ii) there were no Common Stock Equivalents for the respective period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 335,454 and 512,182 Common Stock Equivalents, respectively, which were in the money, that were excluded from the earnings per share computation as a consequence of their anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 there were 375,253 Common Stock Equivalents, which were in the money, that were included in the earnings per share computation. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were 393,260 Common Stock Equivalents which were in the money, that were excluded from the earnings per share computation as a consequence of their anti-dilutive effect.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

ProPhase Labs, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “ProPhase” or the “Company”), was initially organized in Nevada in July 1989. Effective June 18, 2015, we changed our state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. We are a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health care products that are offered to the general public. We are also engaged in the research and development of potential over-the-counter (“OTC”) drug, natural base health products along with supplement, personal care and cosmeceutical products.

Our primary business is the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of OTC health care and cold remedy products to consumers through national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores. Our flagship brand is Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy and our principal product is Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy zinc gluconate lozenges, proven in clinical studies to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms of the common cold. In addition to Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges, we market and distribute non-lozenge forms of our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation, (i) Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® and (ii) Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray. In Fiscal 2014, we expanded our Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® product line and began shipments to retailers in July 2014 Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Plus Multi-Symptom QuickMelts^® for cold and flu. Each of our Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® products are based on our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation in combination with certain natural (i) immune system support, (ii) energy, (iii) sleep and relaxation, and/or (iv) cold and flu symptom relieving active ingredients. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our revenues from operations have come principally from our OTC health care and cold remedy products.

Product Development

Our flagship Cold-EEZE^® brand has generally performed well within the cough-cold category over the past several years. We began shipping in the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 three new Cold-EEZE^® product line extensions: (i) a Cold-EEZE^® Multi-Symptom Relief for Cold and Flu lozenge, (ii) a Cold-EEZE^® Daytime and Nighttime Multi-Symptom Relief in liquid forms for each of adults and children, and (iii) Cold-EEZE^® Natural Allergy Relief caplets for indoor and outdoor allergies.

Although we continue to expand our Cold-EEZE^® product offerings, some retailers are limiting and/or reallocating shelf and promotional space away from the cough-cold category to other product categories. With cough-cold shelf and promotional space at a premium, opportunities in the future to introduce new Cold-EEZE^® products in the cough-cold category may be limited. Therefore, to continue to grow our Company, we are in the process of implementing a series of new product development and pre-commercialization initiatives in the dietary supplement category.

These dietary supplement product development and pre-commercialization activities are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015 under the brand name of TK SupplementsTM. The inaugural TK SupplementsTM product line is comprised of three men’s health products for (i) sexual health, (ii) daily energy booster plus testosterone support and (iii) prostate and urinary health. These three TK SupplementsTM products are scheduled for launch in December of 2015 or early first Fiscal 2016 with an initial emphasis on men’s sexual health as the principal product for the initial launch.

While management anticipates the growth potential in this category may be better, the risks associated with introducing new products that do not leverage the Cold-EEZE^® brand name may be higher. Therefore, no assurance can be made that our new product efforts will be successful. We currently expect that at least one product in this new dietary supplement category will begin shipping in late Fiscal 2015 or early Fiscal 2016.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Seasonality of the Business

Our sales are derived principally from our OTC health care and cold remedy products. A significant portion of our business is highly seasonal, which causes major variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The first, third and fourth quarters generally represent the largest sales volume for our OTC health care and cold remedy products with a corresponding increase in marketing and advertising expenditures designed to promote our products during the Cold Season. In addition, our sales are influenced by and subject to fluctuations in the timing of purchase and the ultimate level of demand for our products which is dependent upon the timing, length and severity of each cold season. We track health and wellness trends and develop retail promotional strategies to align our production scheduling, inventory management and marketing programs to optimize consumer purchases.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results from Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net sales were $4.4 million as compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net sales of OTC health care and cold remedy products were $3.9 million as compared to net sales of $4.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2014. The decline in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due principally to the timing of customer purchases, product mix shipped from period to period and consumer demand as a consequence of several factors including the incidence and severity of upper respiratory illnesses, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our contract manufacturing operations generated net sales to third party customers of $496,000 and $260,000, respectively.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.7 million as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we realized a gross margin of 61.9% and 68.2%, respectively. The decrease of 6.5% in gross margin from the prior period is principally due to (i) an increase in contract manufacturing net sales which carry lower gross margins and (ii) a reduction in the absorption of fixed production costs as a consequence of a decline in net sales. Gross margins are principally influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, raw ingredient costs, inventory mark to market write-downs, if any, retail cooperative incentive promotion and the timing of shipments to customers which are factors of the seasonality of our sales activities and products.

Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $699,000 as compared to $875,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was principally due to a decrease in our marketing expenditures.

General and administration (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.2 million as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $695,000 in administration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was principally due to a decrease in professional and legal fees related to certain, now resolved, litigation matters.

Research and development costs during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $195,000, as compared to $356,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 principally due to a decrease in the amount and timing of our product development expenditures.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As a consequence of our impairment assessment, we determined that a full impairment occurred of the Phusion intangible asset, licensed technology in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014. As a consequence, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 we charged to operations a $3.6 million impairment charge.

As a consequence of the effects of the above, the net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015, was $602,000, or $0.04 per share, as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.18) per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results from Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net sales were $12.4 million as compared to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net sales of OTC health care and cold remedy products were $11.1 million as compared to net sales of $12.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decline in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due principally to the timing of customer purchases, product mix shipped from period to period and consumer demand as a consequence of several factors including the incidence and severity of upper respiratory illnesses, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our contract manufacturing operations generated net sales to third party customers of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $5.1million as compared to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we realized a gross margin of 59.4% and 63.2%, respectively. The decrease of 3.8% in gross margin from the prior period is principally due to, (i) a reduction in the absorption of fixed production costs and (ii) fluctuations in our product mix shipped from period to period (iii) an increase in contract manufacturing net sales which carry lower gross margins. Gross margins are principally influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, raw ingredient costs, inventory mark to market write-downs, if any, retail cooperative incentive promotion and the timing of shipments to customers which are factors of the seasonality of our sales activities and products.

Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $4.2 million as compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was principally due to a decrease in our marketing expenditures.

General and administration (“G&A”) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $4.8 million as compared to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $1.4 million in administration expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was principally due to an decrease in professional and legal fees related to certain, now resolved, litigation matters.

Research and development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $675,000 as compared to $907,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due principally to a decrease in the amount and timing of our product development expenditures.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As a consequence of our impairment assessment, we determined that a full impairment occurred of the Phusion intangible asset, licensed technology in the third quarter of Fiscal 2014. As a consequence, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we charged to operations a $3.6 million impairment charge.

As a consequence of the effects of the above, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $2.3 million, or ($0.14) per share, as compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or ($0.42) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our aggregate cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015 were $1.3 million compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease of $1.6 million in our cash balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was principally due to the net effect of (i) cash used in operations of $2.5 million principally as a consequence of the net effect of (a) an increase of $1.6 million in inventory, (b) a decrease of $1.6 million in accrued advertising, offset by (c) a decrease of accounts receivable of $3.1 million and (d) our net loss of $2.3 million, (ii) capital expenditures of $678,000 offset by (iii) net proceeds of $1.6 million from the sale of our Common Stock. Our working capital was $7.1 million and $8.2 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

2012 Equity Line of Credit

On November 21, 2012, we entered into the equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2012 Equity Line”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP (“Dutchess”) whereby Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 2,500,000 shares of our Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the first trading day following the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the 2012 Equity Line. On November 26, 2012, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register for sale for up to 2,500,000 shares of our Common Stock and the registration statement was deemed effective by the SEC on December 12, 2012. We amended this registration statement effective May 29, 2014 to withdraw and remove from registration all unissued and unsold shares. We also agreed with Dutchess to terminate the 2012 Equity Line as of May 28, 2014.

During the period January 1, 2014 through May 23, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 698,207 shares of Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2012 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $1.2 million. The sales of the shares under the 2012 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder).

2014 Equity Line of Credit

The Company and Dutchess executed an equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2014 Equity Line”) dated May 28, 2014 whereby Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line. On May 29, 2014, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register for sale up to 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2014.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In June 2015, we sold an aggregate of 438,480 shares of our Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $524,000. During the period June 4, 2014 through September 30, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 2,561,520 shares of our Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2014 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $3.7 million. The sales of the shares under the 2014 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder). At June 30, 2015, there were no shares of our Common Stock available for sale under the terms of the 2014 Equity Line. As a consequence of the utilization of the 2014 Equity Line, on July 23, 2015 we filed a post-effective amendment to the underlying registration statement for the 2014 Equity Line to terminate the registration statement.

2015 Equity Line of Credit

On July 30, 2015, we entered into a new equity line of credit agreement (such arrangement, the “2015 Equity Line”) with Dutchess. Pursuant to the 2015 Equity Line, Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 3,200,000 shares of our Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

We may, at our discretion, draw on the 2015 Equity Line from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2015 Equity Line. The maximum number of shares that we are entitled to put to Dutchess in any one draw down notice shall not exceed 500,000 shares with a purchase price calculated in accordance with the 2015 Equity Line. We may deliver a notice for a subsequent put from time to time, following the one day pricing period for the prior put.

The purchase price shall be set at ninety-five percent (95%) of the VWAP of the Common Stock during the one trading day immediately following our put notice. We have the right to withdraw all or any portion of any put, except that portion of the put that has already been sold to a third party, including any portion of a put that is below the minimum acceptable price set forth on the put notice, before the closing. In the event Dutchess receives more than a five percent (5%) return on the net sales for a specific put, Dutchess must remit such excess proceeds to us; however, in the event Dutchess receives less than a five percent (5%) return on the net sales for a specific put, Dutchess will have the right to deduct from the proceeds of the put amount on the applicable closing date so Dutchess’s return will equal five percent (5%).

There are put restrictions applied on days between the draw down notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, we are entitled to deliver another draw down notice. In addition, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares if Dutchess’ total number of shares beneficially held at that time would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, we are not permitted to draw on the facility unless there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Equity Line, we are obligated to file one or more registrations statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the 2015 Equity Line. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the registration statement is filed. On August 4, 2015, we filed a registration statement for the underlying shares of the 2015 Equity Line with the SEC and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2015.

During the period August 21, 2015 through September 30, 2015, we sold an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock to Dutchess under and pursuant to the 2015 Equity Line and we derived net proceeds of $1.0 million. The sales of the shares under the 2015 Equity Line were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in reliance upon Section 4(2) (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management believes that its strategy to maintain Cold-EEZE^® as a recognized brand name, its broader range of products, its adequate manufacturing capacity, together with its current working capital and its available 2015 Equity Line, if exercised, should provide a source of capital to fund normal business operations for at least the next twelve months. Our operations support the current research and development expenditures related to new products. In addition to the funding from operations, it is likely that we will in the short and long term raise additional capital through the issuance of securities or secure other financing sources to support such product development research, new product acquisitions or a venture investment or acquisition. Such funding through the issuance of equity securities would result in the dilution of current stockholders’ ownership in the Company. Should our product development initiatives progress on certain formulations, additional development expenditures may require substantial financial support and may necessitate the consideration of alternative approaches such as licensing, joint venture, or partnership arrangements that we determine will meet our long term goals and objectives. Ultimately, should internal working capital be insufficient and external funding methods or other business arrangements become unattainable, it would likely result in the deferral or abandonment of future development relative to current and prospective product development initiatives and formulations.

Management is not aware of any other trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact upon our (i) short-term or long-term liquidity, or (ii) net sales or income from continuing operations. Any challenge to our patent rights could have a material adverse effect on our future; however, we are not aware of any condition that would make such an event probable. Our business is subject to seasonal variations thereby impacting liquidity and working capital during the course of our fiscal year.

Management believes that cash generated from operations, along with our current cash balances, will be sufficient to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements to fund normal business operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we will likely require additional capital to support, among other items, (i) new product introductions, (ii) expansion of our product marketing and promotion activities, (iii) additional research and development activities, (iv) venture investments or acquisitions, and/or (v) support current operations.

To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to incur indebtedness to finance plans for growth. Volatility in the credit markets and the liquidity of major financial institutions may have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our business strategy through borrowings, under either existing or newly created instruments in the public or private markets on terms that we believe to be reasonable, if at all.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the remainder of Fiscal 2015 are not expected to be material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Certain Risk Factors

Our business is regulated by various agencies of the states and localities where our products are sold. Governmental regulations in foreign countries where we plan 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 our products. In addition, no prediction can be made as to whether new domestic or foreign legislation regulating our activities will be enacted. Any new legislation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations. Non-compliance with any applicable requirements may subject us or the manufacturers of our products to agency action, including warning letters, fines, product recalls, seizures and injunctions.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our cold remedy products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, including (i) the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), (ii) the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), (iii) the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (iv) the United States Department of Agriculture, (v) the United States Postal Service, (vi) the United States Environmental Protection Agency and (vii) the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

In addition to OTC and prescription drug products, the FDA regulates the safety, manufacturing, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements and cosmetics. The FTC also has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the promotion and advertising of vitamins, OTC drugs, cosmetics and foods. In addition, certain of our OTC health care and cold remedy products are homeopathic remedies which are subject to standards established 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 under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, as amended.

Preclinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing, labeling, distribution and marketing of potential new products are also subject to federal and state regulation in the United States and other countries. Clinical trials and product marketing and manufacturing are subject to the rigorous review and approval processes of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities. To obtain approval of a new drug product, a company must demonstrate through adequate and well-controlled clinical trials that the drug product is safe and effective for its intended use. Obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals is lengthy and expensive. Typically, obtaining regulatory approval for pharmaceutical products requires substantial resources and takes several years. The length of this process depends on the type, complexity and novelty of the product and the nature of the disease or other indication to be treated. Preclinical studies must comply with FDA regulations. Clinical trials must also comply with FDA regulations to ensure safety of the human subjects in the trial and may require large numbers of test subjects, complex protocols and possibly lengthy follow-up periods. Consequently, satisfaction of government regulations may take several years, may cause delays in introducing potential new products for considerable periods of time and may require imposing costly procedures upon our activities. If regulatory approval of new products is not obtained in a timely manner or not at all, we could be materially adversely affected. Even if regulatory approval of new products is obtained, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which the products may be marketed which could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and future operations.

We face significant technological risks inherent in developing new products. We may be subject to delays and/or ultimately unable to successfully implement our business plan and strategy to develop and commercialize one or more non-prescription remedies and/or dietary supplements. The commercialization and ultimate product market acceptance is subject to, among other influences, consumer purchasing trends, demand for our product, health and wellness trends, regulatory factors, retail acceptance and overall economic and market conditions. As a consequence, we may suspend or abandon some or all of our proposed new products before they become commercially viable. Even if we develop and obtain approval of a new product, if we cannot successfully commercialize it in a timely manner, our business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We have aligned our operations to focus principally in the research, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of OTC health care and cold remedy and consumer products, natural based health products and other supplement and cosmeceutical products. In addition, we may seek to acquire from third parties or enter into other arrangements with respect to new formulations, ingredients, applications and other products developed by third parties who may be seeking our commercialization, marketing and distribution expertise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectuate our business plan successfully or that our revenue growth will continue. In addition, we may not be successful in acquiring or otherwise entering into any new lines of business and, if we are successful in doing so, there can be no assurance that such new business will achieve profitability.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Future revenues, costs, margins, and profits will continue to be influenced by our ability to maintain our manufacturing availability and capacity together with our marketing and distribution capability and the requirements associated with the development of potential OTC drug and other medicinal products in order to continue to compete on a national and international level. Our business development is dependent on continued conformity with government regulations, a reliable information technology system capable of supporting continued growth and continued reliable sources for product and materials to satisfy consumer demand. Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources, technical staffs, facilities, marketing resources, product development, distribution and experience than we do. As a consequence, our competitors may have certain advantages, including the ability to allocate greater resources for new product development, marketing and other purposes.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other sections of this filing, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as well as in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Part I. However, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. These accounting estimates and disclosures have been discussed with Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. A discussion of our critical accounting policies, the judgments and uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions are as follows:

Revenue Recognition – Sales Allowances

When providing for the appropriate sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs (“Sales Allowances”), we apply a uniform and consistent method for making certain assumptions for estimating these provisions. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our primary product, Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges, utilizes a proprietary zinc gluconate formulation which has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. Factors considered in estimating the appropriate sales returns and allowances for this product include it being (i) a unique product with limited competitors, (ii) competitively priced, (iii) promoted, (iv) unaffected for remaining shelf-life as there is no product expiration date and (v) monitored for inventory levels at major customers and third-party consumption data. In addition to Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy lozenges we market and distribute two additional forms of our proprietary zinc formulation, Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy QuickMelts^® and Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray. We also manufacture, market and distribute an organic cough drop and a Vitamin C supplement (“Organix^®”). Each of the Cold-EEZE^® Cold Remedy Oral Spray and QuickMelts^® products, and Organix^® products carry shelf-life expiration dates for which we aggregate such product market experience data and update our sales returns and allowances estimates accordingly. Sales allowances estimates are tracked at the specific customer and product line levels and are tested on an annual historical basis, and reviewed quarterly. Additionally, we monitor current developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions relative to net sales for the period presented.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our return policy accommodates returns for (i) discontinued products, (ii) store closings and (iii) products that have reached or exceeded their designated expiration date. We do not impose a period of time within which product may be returned. All requests for product returns must be submitted to us for pre-approval. The main components of our returns policy are: (i) we will accept returns that are due to damaged product that is un-saleable and such return request activity fall within an acceptable range, (ii) we will accept returns for products that have reached or exceeded designated expiration dates and (iii) we will accept returns in the event that we discontinue a product provided that the customer will have the right to return only such item that it purchased directly from us. We will not accept return requests pertaining to customer inventory “Overstocking” or “Resets”. We will only accept return requests for product in its intended package configuration. We reserve the right to terminate shipment of product to customers who have made unauthorized deductions contrary to our return policy or pursue other methods of reimbursement. We compensate the customer for authorized returns by means of a credit applied to amounts owed or to be owed and in the case of discontinued product only, also by way of an exchange. We do not have any significant product exchange history.

We classify product returns into principally three categories, (i) non-routine returns, (ii) obsolete product and (iii) product mix realignment by certain of our customers. “Non-routine” returns are defined as product returned to us as a consequence of unanticipated circumstances principally due to (i) retail store closings or (ii) unexpected poor retail sell through to consumers causing us to discontinue the product. “Obsolete” returns are defined as product returned to us as a consequence of product shelf-life “use by” expiration date. “Product mix realignment” returns are defined as product returned to us due to initiatives by the trade to discontinue purchasing certain of our products. Product mix realignment returns are generally nominal and are frequently related to discontinued or soon to be discontinued products.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we included a provision for sales allowances of $52,000 and $129,000, respectively, which are reported as a reduction to sales and account receivables. Additionally, accrued advertising and other allowances as of September 30, 2015 included (i) $1.5 million for estimated future sales returns and (ii) $589,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs. As of December 31, 2014, accrued advertising and other allowances included (i) $1.5 million for estimated future sales returns and (ii) $2.1 million for cooperative incentive promotion costs.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2014, we have net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $38.6 million for federal purposes that will expire beginning in Fiscal 2020 through Fiscal 2033. Additionally, there are net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $20.1 million for state purposes that will expire beginning in Fiscal 2018 through Fiscal 2033. Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations and the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax asset is being provided. Management believes that this allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing these tax benefits in the future.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. As amended by ASU No. 2015-14 issued in August 2015, this ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this update require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Companies should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in this update will be effective as of January 1, 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted. We may apply the amendments in this update either: (1) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If a retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. In addition, if a retrospective transition is adopted, we may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption on January 1, 2016 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The amendments in this update state that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2 “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” which changes the evaluation criteria for consolidation and related disclosure requirements. This guidance introduces evaluation criteria specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities, as well as amends the criteria for evaluating variable interest entities with which the reporting entity is involved and certain investment funds. The guidance will become effective for us at the beginning of our first quarter of Fiscal 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” which requires an entity to measure inventory balances at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We are currently assessing the impact of this update, and believe that its adoption on January 1, 2017 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue” and similar words although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. This Report may contain forward-looking statements attributed to third parties relating to their estimates regarding the growth of our markets. You are cautioned that such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that all forward-looking statements address matters that involve risk and uncertainties, and there are many important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and prospects, as well as those of the markets we serve, to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Report.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

You should also consider carefully the statements under other sections of this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which address additional risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in any forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as the date of this Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Like virtually all commercial enterprises, we can be exposed to the risk (“market risk”) that the cash flows to be received or paid relating to certain financial instruments could change as a result of changes in interest rate, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes.

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

PROPHASE LABS, INC. PROPHASE LABS, INC. FOR THE BENEFIT OF PHUSION LABORATORIES, LLC vs. Phosphagenics, Inc., Phosphagenics, LTD and Phusion Laboratories, LLC as a nominal defendant

On October 17, 2014, we initiated a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, case number 01-14-0001-7373. This demand for arbitration pertains to our Phusion joint venture and the matter is against Phosphagenics, Inc. and Phosphagenics LTD (collectively known as the “Phosphagenics Entities”). We have raised certain claims based upon the alleged Phosphagenics Entities’ breach of a certain amended and restated licenses agreement for the exploitation of certain intellectual property and, separately, breach of the Phusion joint venture operating agreement as between the Company and the Phosphagenics Entities. The Phosphagenics Entities have made counter claims of breaches against the Company and Phusion. An arbitration hearing is currently scheduled for December 2015 and at this time, while no prediction as to the outcome of this action can be made, we do not expect a material adverse outcome.
