Note 1 – Organization and Business
 
ProPhase Labs, Inc. (“we”, “us” or the “Company”), organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, is a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a diversified range of homeopathic and health 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 cold remedy products to consumers through national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores.  Our flagship brand is Cold-EEZEÒ Cold Remedy and our principal product is Cold-EEZEÒ zinc gluconate lozenges, proven in clinical studies to reduce the duration of the common cold by 42%.  In addition to Cold-EEZE® cold remedy lozenges, we market and distribute two non-lozenge forms of our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation, Cold-EEZE® QuickMelts® and Cold-EEZE® Oral Spray.  In addition, we have expanded our Cold-EEZE® QuickMelts® product line and began shipments to retailers in July 2013  two new products, Cold-EEZE® Plus Immune Support QuickMelts® and Cold-EEZE Plus Immune Support + Energy QuickMelts®.  Each of these  new Cold-EEZE® QuickMelts® products are based on our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation in combination with certain immune system support and natural energy active ingredients.  Cold-EEZEÒ is an established product in the health care and cold remedy market.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, our revenues from operations have come principally from our OTC cold remedy products.
 
We use a December 31 year-end for financial reporting purposes.  References herein to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 shall be the term “Fiscal 2013” and references to other “Fiscal” years shall mean the year, which ended on December 31 of the year indicated.  The term the “we”, “us: or the “Company” as used herein also refer, where appropriate, to the Company, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.
