Note 1 – Organization and Business

 

ProPhase Labs, Inc. (“ProPhase”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a diversified biotech and genomics company with deep experience with over-the- counter (“OTC”) consumer healthcare products and dietary supplements. We currently conduct our operations through two operating segments: diagnostic services and consumer products. Until late Fiscal 2020, we were engaged primarily in the research, development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of OTC consumer healthcare products and dietary supplements in the United States. However, commencing in December 2020, we also began offering COVID-19 and other Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) molecular tests through our new diagnostic services business.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, ProPhase Diagnostics, Inc. (“ProPhase Diagnostics”), which was formed on October 9, 2020, offers a variety of medical tests, including COVID-19 and Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) molecular tests. On October 23, 2020, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Confucius Plaza Medical Laboratory Corp. (“CPM”), which operates a 4,000 square foot Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) accredited laboratory located in Old Bridge, New Jersey, for approximately $2.5 million in cash (see Note 3, Business Acquisition). As a result of the acquisition of CPM in October 2020, we entered into a new business line, diagnostic services. In December 2020, we expanded our diagnostic service business with the signing of a lease and build out of a second, larger CLIA accredited laboratory in Garden City, New York. Operations at this second facility commenced in February 2021.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmaloz Manufacturing, Inc. (“PMI”), is a full-service contract manufacturer and private label developer of a broad range of non- GMO, organic and natural-based cough drops and lozenges and OTC drug and dietary supplement products.

 

On August 10, 2021, we acquired Nebula Genomics, Inc., a privately owned personal genomics company, through our new wholly-owned subsidiary, ProPhase Precision Medicine, Inc. (see Note 15, Subsequent Events).

 

In addition, we continue to actively pursue acquisition opportunities for other companies, technologies and products within and outside the consumer products industry.

 

We use a December 31 year-end for financial reporting purposes. References herein to “Fiscal 2020” mean the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and references to other “Fiscal” years mean the year that 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.
