Note 3 – Discontinued Operations, Sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business

 

Effective March 29, 2017, we completed the sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business to Mylan.

 

As a consequence of the sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, we classified as discontinued operations (i) the gain from the sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business, (ii) all gains and losses attributable to the Cold-EEZE® Business operations and (iii) the income tax expense attributed to the sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business (see Note 6). Excluded from the sale of the Cold-EEZE® Business were our accounts receivable and inventory, and we also retained all liabilities associated with our Cold-EEZE® Business operations arising prior to March 29, 2017.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement entered into with Mylan on January 6, 2017 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), we also agreed to a one-time sale to Mylan of certain non-lozenge-based Cold-EEZE® inventory for approximately $699,000, which approximates our cost. At June 30, 2017, we classified in our balance sheet this inventory as an asset held for sale, discontinued operations. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we allocated and agreed to pay Mylan an aggregate of $400,000 for future sales returns and allowances arising from certain product returns that were sold by us prior to March 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, we classified in our balance sheet this liability as an accrued sales allowance, discontinued operations. At December 31, 2017, we classified $22,000 of assets held for sale in our balance sheet and as of June 30, 2018, the asset was sold to Mylan and removed from assets held for sale.
