PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As previously disclosed by ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed on August 14, 2018, the Company has determined that it is necessary to restate its consolidated financial statements for (i) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the fiscal quarters within such fiscal year, and (ii) the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018 as a result of certain income tax accounting errors that effect those periods (the “Restatements”). As a result of the Restatements, the Company is unable to complete its consolidated financial statements and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 by the prescribed due date for such filing. The Company plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable following the completion of the Restatements and does expect to file it on or before the expiration of the 5 calendar day extension period provided in Rule 12b-25(b).

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

 

  Monica Brady   (215)   345-0919 ext. 122
  (Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [  ] No

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [X] Yes [  ] No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company currently expects a net loss of approximately $260 thousand and $216 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to a net loss of approximately $2.3 million and net income of approximately $42 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The financial information presented above is preliminary, based upon the Company’s internal estimates and subject to the Company’s financial closing procedures and issuance of its financial statement as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company’s final financial results and other financial data could differ materially from this preliminary financial information. The Company’s final financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 will be set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018.
