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 supplements, personal care and cosmeceutical products.
Our primary business is currently the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of OTC cold remedy products to consumers through national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores. One of our principal products is Cold-EEZEÒ, a line of zinc gluconate glycine products. Cold-EEZEÒ lozenges are proven in clinical studies to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold symptoms by nearly half. Cold-EEZEÒ is an established product in the health care and cold remedy market. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our revenues from continuing operations have come principally from our OTC cold remedy products.
On March 22, 2010, the Company, 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”). TPM facilitates the delivery and depth of penetration of active molecules in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and other products. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, we and PSI each own a 50% membership interest in the Joint Venture (see Note 3).
We use a December 31 year-end for financial reporting purposes. References herein to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 shall be the term “Fiscal 2011” 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.
Our balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been reclassified to conform to our current period ended September 30, 2011 presentation.
