At the Special Meeting held on March 29, 2017, our stockholders approved the sale of the Cold-EEZE^® Business and the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 7). 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 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 March 31, 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 a sales returns and allowances arising from certain product returns that were sold by us prior to March 30, 2017. At March 31, 2017, we classified in our balance sheet this liability as an accrued sales allowances, discontinued operations. At December 31, 2016, the balance sheet impact of discontinued operations was deemed not material, as such no reclassifications for discontinued operations have be presented.

The net proceeds received from the sale of the Cold-EEZE^® Business were as follows (in thousands):
