Note 1 – Organization and Business

ProPhase Labs, Inc. (“we”, “us” or the “Company”), formerly known as The Quigley Corporation, 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 natural base health products along with supplements and cosmeceuticals for human and veterinary use.

Our primary business is currently the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of over-the-counter (“OTC”) cold remedy products to consumers through national chain, regional, specialty and local retail stores. One of our principal products is Cold-EEZEÒ, a zinc gluconate glycine product 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 months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, our revenues from continuing operations have come principally from our cold remedy products.

On May 5, 2010, our shareholders approved, among other corporate matters, the Board of Directors’ proposal to change our name to ProPhase Labs, Inc. from The Quigley Corporation. As a consequence, we amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change our name to ProPhase Labs, Inc. The amendment became effective on May 6, 2010. Concurrent with our name change, effective May 10, 2010, our shares began trading under the new NASDAQ ticker symbol: PRPH. We previously traded under the symbol: QGLY.

We use a December 31 year-end for financial reporting purposes. References herein to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 shall be the term “Fiscal 2010” 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 financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the balance sheet at December 31, 2009 have been reclassified to conform to our current period ended March 31, 2010 presentation.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and within the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements and therefore do not include all disclosures that might normally be required for financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit and should be read in conjunction with the our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved over the course of the full year.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Seasonality of the Business

Our net sales are derived principally from our cold remedy products. Currently, our sales are influenced by and subject to fluctuations in the timing of purchase and the ultimate level of demand for our products which are a function of the timing, length and severity of each cold season. Generally, a cold season is defined as the period of September to March when the incidence of the common cold rises as a consequence of the change in weather and other factors. We generally experience in the fourth quarter higher levels of net sales along with a corresponding increase in marketing and advertising expenditures designed to promote its products during the cold season. Revenues and related marketing costs are generally at their lowest levels in the second quarter when consumer demand generally declines. We track health and wellness trends and develop retail promotional strategies to align our production scheduling, inventory management and marketing programs to optimize consumer purchases.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Examples include the provision for bad debt, sales returns and allowances, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets, income tax valuations and assumptions related to accrued advertising. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our primary product, Cold-EEZEÒ, utilizes a proprietary zinc formulation which has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. Accordingly, factors considered in estimating the appropriate sales returns and allowances for this product include it being (i) a unique product with limited competitors, (ii) competitively priced, (iii) promoted, (iv) unaffected for remaining shelf-life as there is no product expiration date, and (v) monitored for inventory levels at major customers and third-party consumption data. We added new products to our OTC Personal Care product line in Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2008 such as ISC-10 Immune (subsequently discontinued in Fiscal 2009), Organix Organic Cough and Sore Throat Drops and Kids-EEZEÒ Chest Relief. Each of these new products do carry shelf-life expiration dates for which we aggregate such new product market experience data and updates our sales returns and allowances estimates accordingly. Sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs (“Sales Allowances”) estimates are tracked at the specific customer and product line levels and are tested on an annual historical basis, and reviewed quarterly. Additionally, the monitoring of current occurrences, developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions relative to net sales for the period presented are also performed.

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash on hand and monies invested in money market funds. The carrying amount approximates the fair market value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Our cash and money market balances are classified as Level 1 instruments based upon fair value measurement hierarchy which are valued based upon quoted market prices in active markets.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”), or market. Inventory items are analyzed to determine cost and the market value and, if appropriate, inventory valuation reserves are established. The condensed consolidated financial statements include a specific reserve for excess or obsolete inventory of approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Raw material, work in progress and packaging inventory aggregated approximately $652,000 and $610,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Finished goods inventory was $482,000 and $795,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. We use a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation expense is computed in accordance with the following ranges of estimated asset lives: building and improvements - twenty to thirty-nine years; machinery and equipment - five to seven years; computer software - three years; and furniture and fixtures – seven years.

Concentration of Risks

Our business is subject to federal and state laws and regulations adopted for the health and safety of users of our products. Cold-EEZE® is a homeopathic remedy that is subject to regulations by various federal, state and local agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable.

We maintain cash and cash equivalents with several major financial institutions. As of March 31, 2010, our cash balance was $12.8 million and bank balance was $13.2 million. Of the total bank balance, $7.9 million was covered by federal depository insurance and $5.3 million was uninsured.

Trade accounts receivable potentially subjects us to credit risk. We extend credit to our customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally we do not require collateral. Our broad range of customers includes many large wholesalers, mass merchandisers and multi-outlet pharmacy and chain drug store. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, all of our net sales were related to domestic markets.

Our revenues are principally generated from the sale of the cold remedy products which approximated 94% and 84% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A significant portion of our business is highly seasonal, which causes major variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The third and fourth quarters generally represent the largest sales volume for the OTC cold remedy products.

Long-lived Assets

We review our carrying value of its long-lived assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment exist, we determine whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The determination of fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or independent appraisals; sales price negotiations; or projected future cash flows discounted at a rate determined by management to be commensurate with our business risk. The estimation of fair value utilizing discounted forecasted cash flows includes significant judgments regarding assumptions of revenue, operating and marketing costs; selling and administrative expenses; interest rates; property and equipment additions and retirements; industry competition; and general economic and business conditions, among other factors.

In June 2009, we concluded the closing of our Elizabethtown manufacturing facility. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our reported assets include Assets Held For Sale aggregating $138,000 related to the land and buildings of the Elizabethtown manufacturing facility. These assets have been recorded at their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

As codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC-820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”) fair value is based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC-820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value of the reported Assets Held For Sale was arrived at through bids generated from interested third party purchasers and guidance from a third party real estate advisor thereby relating to Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Determination of fair value of related party payables, if any, is not practicable due to their related party nature.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer. Revenue is reduced for trade promotions, estimated sales returns, cash discounts and other allowances in the same period as the related sales are recorded. We make estimates of potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period revenue. We analyze historical returns, current trends, and changes in customer and consumer demand when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

We do not impose a period of time within which product may be returned. All requests for product returns must be submitted to us for pre-approval. The main components of our returns policy are: (i) we will accept returns that are due to damaged product that is un-saleable and such return request activity fall within an acceptable range, (ii) we will accept returns for products that have reached or exceeded designated expiration dates and (iii) we will accept returns in the event that we discontinue a product provided that the customer will have the right to return only such items that it purchased directly from us. We will not accept return requests pertaining to customer inventory “Overstocking” or “Resets”. We will only accept return requests for product in its intended package configuration. We reserve the right to terminate shipment of product to customers who have made unauthorized deductions contrary to our return policy or pursue other methods of reimbursement. We compensate the customer for authorized returns by means of a credit applied to amounts owed or to be owed and in the case of discontinued product only, also by way of an exchange. We do not have any significant product exchange history.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we included a provision for Sales Allowances of $22,000 and $127,000 respectively for other allowances which is reported as a reduction to account receivables. We also included an estimate of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable as an allowance for doubtful accounts of $22,000 and $23,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Additionally, accrued advertising and other allowances as of March 31, 2010 include $1.5 million for future sales returns and $609,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs. As of December 31, 2009 accrued advertising and other allowances $1.5 million for future sales returns and $586,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs.

Shipping and Handling

Product sales carry shipping and handling charges to the purchaser, included as part of the invoiced price, which is classified as revenue. In all cases costs related to this revenue are recorded in cost of sales.

Stock Compensation

We recognize all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. Fair values of stock options are determined through the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The compensation cost is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award, which usually coincides with the vesting period.

Stock options and warrants for purchase of our common stock, $0.0005 par value (“Common Stock”) have been granted to both employees and non-employees. Options and warrants are exercisable during a period determined by us, but in no event later than ten years from the date granted. No stock options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock have been granted for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Variable Interest Entity

ASC-810 establishes criterion and implementation guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). As a consequence of the formation of Phusion Laboratories LLC (“Phusion”), of which we own a 50% membership interest effective March 22, 2010, Phusion qualifies as a variable interest entity and we have consolidated Phusion beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (see Note 3).

Advertising and Incentive Promotions

Advertising and incentive promotion costs are expensed within the period in which they are utilized. Advertising and incentive promotion expense is comprised of media advertising, presented as part of sales and marketing expense, cooperative incentive promotions and coupon program expenses, which are accounted for as part of net sales, and free product, which is accounted for as part of cost of sales. Advertising and incentive promotion costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $863,000 and $2.2 million respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was zero and $170,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, relating to prepaid advertising and promotion expense.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $88,000 and $248,000, respectively. Research and development costs are principally related to certain study activities, costs associated with the development of potential new product development initiatives and costs associated with Cold-EEZE®.

Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations and the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock activities are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total net deferred tax assets is being provided (see Note 7).

We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

As a result of our continuing tax losses, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. Additionally, we have not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The tax years 2006-2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2008, the SEC issued for comment a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Under the proposed roadmap, we could be required in fiscal 2014 to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on our consolidated financial statements and we will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) modified the accounting standard related to consolidation. This standard, as modified, intends to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This standard, as modified, addresses the effects on certain provisions relating to the Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in the accounting standard related to transfers and servicing, and constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of this standard, including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the standard do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This standard, as modified, is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of the consolidation standard, as modified, did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements" ("ASU No. 2009-13"). ASU No. 2009-13 amends guidance included within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. ASU No. 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2009-13.

Note 3 – Investment in Phusion Laboratories, LLC.

On March 22, 2010, the Company, Phosphagenics Ltd. (“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.

In connection with the LLC Agreement, PSI Parent granted to us, pursuant to the terms of a License Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Original License Agreement”), (i) an exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations), paid-up license to exploit OTC drugs (and certain other products) that embody certain of PSI Parent’s TPM-related patents and related know-how (collectively, the “PSI Technology”) and (ii) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations), paid-up license to exploit certain compounds that embody the PSI Technology for use in a product combining one or more of such compounds with an OTC drug or in a product that is part of a regimen that includes the application of an OTC drug.

Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, we issued 1,440,000 shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate value of approximately $2.6 million to PSI Parent (such shares, the “PSI Shares”), and made a one-time payment to PSI Parent of $1.0 million. PSI Parent has agreed, pursuant to a Share Transfer Restriction Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Share Transfer Restriction Agreement”), between us and PSI Parent, that, with certain exceptions, it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the PSI Shares prior to June 1, 2012. The PSI Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and by virtue of Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such sale and issuance did not involve any public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising. Additionally, PSI Parent represented to us, among other things, that PSI Parent is not a US Person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), that PSI Parent is an accredited investor with access to all relevant information necessary to evaluate its investment and that the PSI Shares were being acquired for investment purposes only.

In accordance with a Contribution Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among us, PSI Parent, PSI, and the Joint Venture, we transferred, conveyed and assigned to the Joint Venture all of our rights, title and interest in, to and under the Original License Agreement, and the Joint Venture assumed, and undertook to pay, discharge and perform when due, all of our liabilities and obligations under and arising pursuant to the Original License Agreement (such actions, collectively, the “Assignment and Assumption”). Additionally, we agreed to contribute $500,000 to the Joint Venture as part of our initial capital contribution.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and in order to reflect the Assignment and Assumption, we, PSI Parent and the Joint Venture entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Amended License Agreement”), which amends and restates the Original License Agreement to reflect that the Joint Venture is the licensee thereunder and which otherwise contains substantially the same terms as the Original License Agreement. The Joint Venture has the right to grant one or more sub-licenses of the rights granted under the Amended License Agreement to one or more third parties for reasonable consideration in any part of the applicable territory. The Amended License Agreement provides that PSI Parent shall not, directly or through third parties, exploit the covered intellectual property during the term thereof, subject to certain limitations. The Amended License Agreement will remain in effect until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents included within the PSI Technology or any extensions thereof. Either party may terminate the Amended License Agreement upon written notice to the other party in the event of certain events involving bankruptcy or insolvency. The Amended License Agreement also contains, among other things, provisions concerning the treatment of confidential information, the ownership of intellectual property and indemnification obligations.

Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, we and PSI each own a 50% membership interest in the Joint Venture. PSI Parent will conduct and oversee much of the product development, formulation, testing and other research and development needed by the Joint Venture, and we will oversee much of the production, distribution, sales and marketing. The LLC Agreement provides that each member may be required, from time to time and subject to certain limitations, to make capital contributions to the Joint Venture to fund its operations, in accordance with agreed upon budgets for products to be developed. Specifically we agreed to contribute $500,000 of initial capital and are committed to fund up to $2.0 million, subject to agreed upon budgets (which have not yet been established), toward the initial development and marketing costs of new products for the Joint Venture. At March 31, 2010, we have segregated $500,000 of our available cash balances as restricted cash as a consequence of our minimum contribution obligation to the Joint Venture.

The Joint Venture is managed by a four-person Board of Managers, with two managers appointed by each member. The initial Board of Managers is comprised of four representatives, two representatives from each of the Company and PSI Parent. The initial Company representatives on the Board of Managers are Mr. Karkus and Mr. Cuddihy. Mr. Karkus, on our behalf, and Mr. Harry Rosen, on behalf of PSI, are the Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Joint Venture. The LLC Agreement contains other normally found terms in such arrangements, including provisions relating to governance of the Joint Venture, indemnification obligations of the Joint Venture, allocation of profits and losses, the distribution of funds to the members and restrictions on transfer of a member’s interest.

Our initial determination is that the Joint Venture qualifies as a variable interest entity during the pre-commercialization, product development period based upon (i) our expected level of capital at risk, (ii) the level of our significant control of the product development initiatives and (iii) our early stage allocation to realize gains and losses of the Joint Venture. As a consequence, we have consolidated the Joint Venture financial statements beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the newly formed Joint Venture has not engaged in any financial transactions as formal operations are not expected to commence until the second or third quarter of Fiscal 2010. At March 31, 2010, PSI Parent has no capital contribution in the Joint Venture therefore no amount is allocated to “non-controlling interest” in our financial statements. Additionally, at March 31, 2010 we have recorded the $3.6 million payment representing the preliminary, estimated fair value to acquire the product license as an intangible asset. We currently estimate the expected useful life of the product license to be approximately 12 years. We will begin amortizing the cost of intangible asset once product commercialization is completed with PSI Parent and the OTC drug products begin to ship to our retail customers. As of March 31, 2010, we have not established a formal commercialization program timeline for any specific OTC drug covered under the product license but we do not project that any OTC drug products will be available for shipment within the next twelve months.

Note 4 – Other Current Liabilities

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, included in other current liabilities are accrued compensation of $407,000 and $386,000, respectively.

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies

We have maintained a separate representation and distribution agreement relating to the development of the zinc gluconate glycine product formulation. In return for exclusive distribution rights, we agreed to pay the developer a 3% royalty and a 2% consulting fee based on sales collected, less certain deductions, throughout the term of this agreement, which expired in May 2007. However, we and the developer are in litigation and as such no potential offset from such litigation for these fees have been recorded.

In July 2008, we entered into an agreement with a vendor to purchase a minimum order of product, initially over a three year period, incorporating a patented, proprietary delivery system. This agreement was amended, first in July 2009 and further amended in February 2010 resulting in, but not limited to, (i) a reduction in the (a) term of agreement and (b) purchase commitment, and (ii) reformulation of the flavor of the product. In addition, a new agreement was entered into in February of 2010 for the development of two new products. The aggregate purchase commitment under the term of these agreements, as amended, was $660,000 at March 31, 2010.

Additional research and development and advertising costs are expected to be incurred during the remainder of Fiscal 2010.

Note 6 – Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholder Rights Plan

On September 8, 1998, our Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of Common Stock Purchase Rights (each individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) payable to the stockholders of record on September 25, 1998, thereby creating a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Agreement”). The Plan was amended effective May 23, 2008 (“First Amendment”) and further amended effective August 18, 2009 (“Second Amendment”). The Rights Agreement, as amended, provides that each Right entitles the stockholder of record to purchase from the Company that number of common shares having a combined market value equal to two times the Rights exercise price of $45. The Rights are not exercisable until the distribution date, which will be the earlier of a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding common shares, or the announcement of an intention by a similarly constituted party to make a tender or exchange offer resulting in the ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares. The dividend has the effect of giving the stockholder a 50% discount on the share’s current market value for exercising such right. In the event of a cashless exercise of the Right, and the acquirer has acquired less than 50% beneficial ownership of the Company, a stockholder may exchange one Right for one common share of the Company. The Rights Agreement, as amended, includes a provision pursuant to which our Board of Directors may exempt from the provisions of the Rights Agreement an offer for all outstanding shares of our Common Stock that the directors determine to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms. The expiration date of the Rights Agreement, as amended, is September 25, 2018.

Stock Option Exercise

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we derived net proceeds of $19,000 as a consequence of the exercise of options to acquire 15,000 shares of our Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, no options were exercised.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

Certain exercises of options and warrants, and restricted stock issued for services that became unrestricted resulted in reductions to taxes currently payable and a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in-capital for prior years. In addition, certain tax benefits for option and warrant exercises totaling $6.9 million are deferred and will be credited to additional-paid-in-capital when our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to these exercises are utilized. Consequently, these net operating loss carryforwards will not be available to offset our current income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009, we had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $25.7 million for federal purposes that will expire through 2029. Additionally, there are net operating loss carry-forwards of $20.3 million for state purposes that will expire through 2029. Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations, the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock activities and alternative minimum tax credits of $26,000 are assured, we have recorded a full valuation allowance equaling the total deferred tax asset at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have no unrecognized tax benefits.

The major jurisdiction for which we file income tax returns is the United States. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has examined our tax year ended September 30, 2005 and has made no changes to the filed tax returns. The tax years 2006 and forward remain open to examination by the IRS. The tax years 2004 and forward remain open to examination by the various state taxing authorities to which we are subject.

Effective December 31, 2009, we elected to conform our tax reporting year, historically a fiscal period ending September 30, to our financial reporting period ending December 31. As a consequence, we filed a full period tax return for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 with the IRS and will also file with the IRS a “short period return” for the three months ended December 31, 2009 in compliance with the election. In future fiscal periods, our tax and financial reporting periods will be the same, the period ending December 31.

Note 8 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted earnings per share also utilizes the treasury stock method which prescribes a theoretical buy-back of shares from the theoretical proceeds of all options and warrants outstanding during the period. Options and warrants outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 1,449,750 and 2,113,750, respectively.

Note 8 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share – continued

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, dilutive earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to (i) the inclusion of Common Stock, in the form of stock options and warrants (“Common Stock Equivalents”), would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share or (ii) there were no Common Stock Equivalents for the respective period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 86,000 and 239,767 Common Stock Equivalents, respectively, which were in the money, that were excluded in the earnings per share computation.

A reconciliation of the applicable numerators and denominators of the income statement periods presented, as reflected in the results of continuing operations, is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

General

Recent Developments

Joint Venture – Phusion Laboratories, LLC

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.

In connection with the LLC Agreement, PSI Parent granted to us, pursuant to the terms of a License Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Original License Agreement”), (i) an exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations), paid-up license to exploit OTC drugs (and certain other products) that embody certain of PSI Parent’s TPM-related patents and related know-how (collectively, the “PSI Technology”) and (ii) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide (subject to certain limitations) paid-up license to exploit certain compounds that embody the PSI Technology for use in a product combining one or more of such compounds with an OTC drug or in a product that is part of a regimen that includes the application of an OTC drug.

Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, we issued 1,440,000 shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate value of approximately $2.6 million to PSI Parent (such shares, the “PSI Shares”), and made a one-time payment to PSI Parent of $1.0 million. In accordance with a Contribution Agreement, dated March 22, 2010 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among us, PSI Parent, PSI, and the Joint Venture, we transferred, conveyed and assigned to the Joint Venture all of our rights, title and interest in, to and under the Original License Agreement, and the Joint Venture assumed, and undertook to pay, discharge and perform when due, all of our liabilities and obligations under and arising pursuant to the Original License Agreement (such actions, collectively, the “Assignment and Assumption”). Additionally, we agreed to contribute $500,000 to the Joint Venture as part of our initial capital contribution.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

PSI Parent will conduct and oversee much of the product development, formulation, testing and other research and development needed by the Joint Venture, and we will oversee much of the production, distribution, sales and marketing. The LLC Agreement provides that each member may be required, from time to time and subject to certain limitations, to make capital contributions to the Joint Venture to fund its operations, in accordance with agreed upon budgets for products to be developed. Specifically we agreed to contribute $500,000 of initial capital and are committed to fund up to $2.0 million, subject to agreed upon budgets (which have not yet been established), toward the initial development and marketing costs of new products for the Joint Venture. As of March 31, 2010, we have not established a formal commercialization program timeline for any specific OTC drug covered under the product license and we do not project that any OTC drug products will be available for shipment within the next twelve months. At March 31, 2010, we have segregated $500,000 of our available cash balances as restricted cash as a consequence of our minimum contribution obligation to the Joint Venture.

Certain Risk Factors

Our business is regulated by various agencies of the states and localities where our products are sold. Governmental regulations in foreign countries where we plan to commence or expand sales may prevent or delay entry into a market or prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation of certain of our products. In addition, no prediction can be made as to whether new domestic or foreign legislation regulating our activities will be enacted. Any new legislation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations. Non-compliance with any applicable requirements may subject us or the manufacturers of our products to agency action, including warning letters, fines, product recalls, seizures and injunctions.

The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our cold remedy products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, including (i) the FDA, (ii) the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), (iii) the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (iv) the United States Department of Agriculture, (v) the United States Postal Service, (vi) the United States Environmental Protection Agency and (vii) the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

In addition to OTC and prescription drug products, the FDA regulates the safety, manufacturing, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements, over-the-counter and prescription drugs and cosmetics. The FTC also has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the promotion and advertising of vitamins, over-the-counter drugs, cosmetics and foods. In addition, our cold remedy products are homeopathic remedies which are subject to standards established by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (“HPUS”). HPUS sets the standards for source, composition and preparation of homeopathic remedies which are officially recognized under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, as amended.

Preclinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing, labeling, distribution and marketing of potential new products are also subject to federal and state regulation in the United States and other countries. Clinical trials and product marketing and manufacturing are subject to the rigorous review and approval processes of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities. To obtain approval of a new drug product, a company must demonstrate through adequate and well-controlled clinical trials that the drug product is safe and effective for its intended use. Obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals is lengthy and expensive. Typically, obtaining regulatory approval for pharmaceutical products requires substantial resources and takes several years. The length of this process depends on the type, complexity and novelty of the product and the nature of the disease or other indication to be treated. Preclinical studies must comply with FDA regulations. Clinical trials must also comply with FDA regulations to ensure safety of the human subjects in the trial and may require large numbers of test subjects, complex protocols and possibly lengthy follow-up periods. Consequently, satisfaction of government regulations may take several years, may cause delays in introducing potential new products for considerable periods of time and may require imposing costly procedures upon our activities. If regulatory approval of new products is not obtained in a timely manner or not at all, we could be materially adversely affected. Even if regulatory approval of new products is obtained, such approval may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which the products may be marketed which could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and future operations.

ProPhase Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Future revenues, costs, margins, and profits will continue to be influenced by our ability to maintain our manufacturing availability and capacity together with our marketing and distribution capability and the requirements associated with the development of potential OTC drug and other medicinal products in order to continue to compete on a national and international level. Our business development is dependent on continued conformity with government regulations, a reliable information technology system capable of supporting continued growth and continued reliable sources for product and materials to satisfy consumer demand.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other sections of this Report as well as in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Part I. However, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. These accounting estimates and disclosures have been discussed with Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. A discussion of our critical accounting policies, the judgments and uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions are as follows:

Revenue Recognition – Sales Allowances

When providing for the appropriate sales returns, allowances, cash discounts and cooperative incentive promotion costs (“Sales Allowances”), we apply a uniform and consistent method for making certain assumptions for estimating these provisions. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments on a quarterly basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our primary product, Cold-EEZEÒ, has been clinically proven to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms. Accordingly, factors considered in estimating the appropriate sales returns and allowances for this product include it being (i) a unique product with limited competitors, (ii) competitively priced, (iii) promoted, (iv) unaffected for remaining shelf-life as there is no product expiration date, and (v) monitored for inventory levels at major customers and third-party consumption data. We added new products to our OTC Personal Care product line in Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2008 such as ISC-10 Immune (discontinued in Fiscal 2009), Organix Organic Cough and Sore Throat Drops and Kids-EEZEÒ Chest Relief. Each of these new products do carry shelf-life expiration dates for which we aggregate such new product market experience data and update our sales returns and allowances estimates accordingly. Sales Allowances estimates are tracked at the specific customer and product line levels and are tested on an annual historical basis, and reviewed quarterly. Additionally, the monitoring of current occurrences, developments by customer, market conditions and any other occurrences that could affect the expected provisions relative to net sales for the period presented are also performed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We do not impose a period of time within which product may be returned. All requests for product returns must be submitted to us for pre-approval. The main components of our returns policy are: (i) we will accept returns that are due to damaged product that is un-saleable and such return request activity fall within an acceptable range, (ii) we will accept returns for products that have reached or exceeded designated expiration dates and (iii) we will accept returns in the event that we discontinue a product provided that the customer will have the right to return only such item that it purchased directly from us. We will not accept return requests pertaining to customer inventory “Overstocking” or “Resets”. We will only accept return requests for product in its intended package configuration. We reserve the right to terminate shipment of product to customers who have made unauthorized deductions contrary to our return policy or pursue other methods of reimbursement. We compensate the customer for authorized returns by means of a credit applied to amounts owed or to be owed and in the case of discontinued product only, also by way of an exchange. We do not have any significant product exchange history.

We classify product returns into principally three categories, (i) non-routine returns, (ii) obsolete product and (iii) product mix realignment by certain of our customers. “Non-routine” returns are defined as product returned to us as a consequence of unanticipated circumstances principally due to (i) retail store closings or (ii) unexpected poor retail sell through to consumers causing us to discontinue the product. “Obsolete” returns are defined as product returned to us as a consequence of product shelf-life “use by” expiration date. “Product mix realignment” returns are defined as product returned to us due to initiatives by the trade to discontinue purchasing certain of our products. Product mix realignment returns are generally nominal and are frequently related to discontinued or soon to be discontinued products.

Our return policy accommodates returns for (i) discontinued products, (ii) store closings and (iii) products that have reached or exceeded designated expiration date. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we included a provision for Sales Allowances of $22,000 and $127,000 respectively for other allowances which is reported as a reduction to account receivables. Additionally, accrued advertising and other allowances as of March 31, 2010 include $1.5 million for future sales returns and $609,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs. As of December 31, 2009 accrued advertising and other allowances included $1.5 million for future sales returns and $586,000 for cooperative incentive promotion costs. We also included an estimate of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable as an allowance for doubtful accounts of $22,000 and $23,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

A one percent deviation for these Sales Allowance provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009 would affect net sales by approximately $25,000 and $53,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2009, we have net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $25.7 million for federal purposes that will expire beginning in fiscal 2020 through 2029. Additionally, there are net operating loss carry-forwards of $20.3 million for state purposes that will expire beginning in fiscal 2018 through 2029. Until sufficient taxable income to offset the temporary timing differences attributable to operations, the tax deductions attributable to option, warrant and stock activities and alternative minimum tax credits of $26,000 are assured, a valuation allowance equaling the total net deferred tax assets is being provided. Management believes that this allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing these tax benefits in the future. The uncertainty arises largely due to substantial historical losses.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Seasonality of the Business

Our net sales are derived principally from our cold remedy products. Currently, our sales are influenced by and subject to fluctuations in the timing of purchase and the ultimate level of demand for its products which are a function of the timing, length and severity of each cold season. Generally, a cold season is defined as the period of September to March when the incidence of the common cold rises as a consequence of the change in weather and other factors. We generally experiences in the fourth quarter higher levels of net sales along with a corresponding increase in marketing and advertising expenditures designed to promote its products during the cold season. Revenues and related marketing costs are generally at its lowest levels in the second quarter when consumer demand generally declines. We track health and wellness trends and develop retail promotional strategies to align its production scheduling, inventory management and marketing programs to optimize consumer purchases.

Net sales of cold remedy products decline of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 due principally to an acceleration of our retail customer purchases and stocking for the 2009-2010 cold season into the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 skewing net sales for the cold season. Net sales increased $314,000 to $11.1 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 (the “2009-2010 Cold Season”) as compared to $10.8 million the six month period ended March 31, 2009 (the “2008-2009 Cold Season”). Data suggests that the highest incidence of upper respiratory disorders for 2009-2010 Cold Season occurred in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 while the 2008-2009 Cold Season realized its concentration of incidences in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009. Our flagship product, Cold-EEZE® continues to compete for market share with new products entering the category and many retailer initiatives to reduce the number of products it carries on shelf within the cold and flu remedy category. We are continuing to support Cold-EEZE® as a clinically proven cold remedy product through in-store promotion, media advertising and coupon programs.

The contract manufacturing product net sales decline of $538,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to March 31, 2009 is due principally to (i) the decline in candy product sales as a consequence of the closure of the Elizabethtown manufacturing facility and (ii) fluctuations in contract manufacturing orders from non-related third party entities to produce lozenge-based products.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $806,000 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Although our production volumes declined during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, we realized a gross margin of 59.2% and 59.0%, respectively. Our gross margin reflects the net effect of (i) the elimination of the production and facility overhead expenses attributable to the closing of the Elizabethtown manufacturing facility, (ii) improved production margins of the cold remedy products, offset by (iii) an adverse impact of a reduction to net sales to absorb fixed production overhead expenses at our manufacturing facility. Gross margins are influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, and the timing of shipments to customers which are factors of the seasonality of our sales activities and products.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $1.3 million to $734,000, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 was principally due to the net effects of (i) the implementation of more cost effective and targeted marketing programs, (ii) improved timing of marketing campaigns to better match the timing and product demand of the 2009-2010 Cold Season, (iii) improved in-store marketing and communications programs and (iv) the discontinuation of certain ineffective marketing programs.

General and administration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $878,000 to $1.4 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in general and administration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 was principally due to a decrease in personnel costs as a consequence of a decrease in executive salaries, bonuses and head count.

Research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $160,000 to $88,000 as compared to $248,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $160,000 in research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 period as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 was due to a decline in the scope, timing and amount of research and development activity from period to period. In Fiscal 2009 and as a result of a strategic review, we determined to curtail further investment in certain of our wholly owned subsidiary’s, Quigley Pharma, Inc. (“Pharma”), existing products under development in light of our view concerning market opportunities, regulatory pathways, the need for further robust and consistent preclinical and clinical testing and continued requirements in the areas of commercial formulation and development. However, we continue to engage in research and development activities that we determine are appropriate and will increase our research and development activities in future periods as a consequence of the Joint Venture.

Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2,000 as compared to $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 was due to the decrease in deposit interest rates and a reduction in invested cash balances.

As a consequence of the effects of the above, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was $1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, as compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.17 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The aggregate unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 were $12.4 million compared to $12.8 million at December 31, 2009. Our working capital was $9.5 million and $11.5 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Changes in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were primarily due to (i) cash provided by operations of $1.1 million, (ii) net proceeds of $19,000 realized from the exercise of stock options, offset by (iii) capital expenditures of $45,000, (iv) the cash payment to acquire the product license of $1.0 million and (v) the financial commitment to the Joint Venture of $500,000 recorded as restricted cash. Significant factors impacting working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included (i) a decrease in accounts receivable balances and (ii) a decrease in other operating assets and liabilities, each reflective of seasonal factors.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management believes that its strategy to maintain Cold-EEZEÒ as a recognized brand name, its broader range of products, its adequate manufacturing capacity, together with its current working capital, should provide an internal source of capital to fund normal business operations. Our operations support the current research and development expenditures related to new products. In addition to the funding from operations, we may in the short and long term raise capital through the issuance of securities or secure other financing sources to support such product development research, new product acquisitions or a venture investment or acquisition. Such funding through the issuance of equity securities would result in the dilution of current stockholders’ ownership in the Company. Should our product development initiatives progress on certain formulations, additional development expenditures may require substantial financial support and may necessitate the consideration of alternative approaches such as licensing, joint venture, or partnership arrangements that we determine will meet our long term goals and objectives. Ultimately, should internal working capital be insufficient and external funding methods or other business arrangements become unattainable, it would likely result in the deferral or abandonment of future development relative to current and prospective product development initiatives and formulations.

Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact upon our (i) short-term or long-term liquidity, or (ii) net sales or income from continuing operations. Any challenge to our patent rights could have a material adverse effect on our future; however, we are not aware of any condition that would make such an event probable. Our business is subject to seasonal variations thereby impacting liquidity and working capital during the course of our fiscal year.

Management believes that cash generated from operations, along with its current cash balances, will be sufficient to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, in the longer term, we may require additional capital to support, among other items, (i) new product introductions, (ii) expansion of our product marketing and promotion activities, (iii) additional research development activities, (iv) further investment in our Joint Venture and (v) venture investments or acquisitions and/or (vi) support current operations. Recently, there has been substantial volatility in the capital and financial markets due at least in part to the constricted global economic environment resulting in substantial uncertainty and access to financing is uncertain. Moreover, consumer and as a consequence, customer spending habits may be adversely affected by the current economic crisis. These conditions could have an adverse effect on our industry and business, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to incur indebtedness to finance plans for growth. Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the potential impact on the liquidity of major financial institutions may have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our business strategy through borrowings, under either existing or newly created instruments in the public or private markets on terms that we believe to be reasonable, if at all.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2010 are not expected to be material.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue” and similar words although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. This Report may contain forward-looking statements attributed to third parties relating to their estimates regarding the growth of our markets. You are cautioned that such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that all forward-looking statements address matters that involve risk and uncertainties, and there are many important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and prospects, as well as those of the markets we serve, to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

The ability of our new management to successfully implement our business plan and strategy;

Our ability to fund our operations including the cost and availability of capital and credit;

Our ability to compete effectively including our ability to maintain and increase our market share in the markets in which we do business;

Our dependence on sales from our main product, Cold-EEZEÒ, and our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products;

The uncertain length and severity of the current general financial and economic downturn, the timing and strength of an economic recovery, if any, and their impacts on our business including demand for our products;

Our ability to protect our proprietary rights;

Our continued ability to comply with regulations relating to our current products and any new products we develop including our ability to effectively respond to changes in laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof including changing market rules and evolving federal, state and regional laws and regulations;

Potential disruptions in our ability to manufacture our products or our access to raw materials;

Seasonal fluctuations in demand for our products;

Our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees;

Other risks identified in this Report.

You should also consider carefully the statements under other sections of this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which address additional risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in any forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as the date of this Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our operations are not subject to risks of material foreign currency fluctuations, nor does it use derivative financial instruments in its investment practices. We place our marketable investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We do not expect material losses with respect to its investment portfolio or exposure to market risks associated with interest rates. The impact on our results of one percentage point change in short-term interest rates would not have a material impact on our future earnings, fair value, or cash flows related to investments in cash equivalents or interest-earning marketable securities.

Current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance including the collection of accounts receivables, realization of inventory and recoverability of assets. In addition, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, including due to a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility and recession.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below under the heading “Material Weaknesses” our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Material Weaknesses

As a consequence of management’s review of its effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, and management’s determination of the existence of material weaknesses, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Material Weakness – Control environment

Lack of management continuity due to changes in executive management of the Company. As a consequence of the results from the 2009 meeting of our shareholders whereby a new slate of directors were confirmed by a major vote of the shareholders, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Operating Officer resigned without the benefit of a transition period between the effective date of their respective resignations and the recruitment of new management. We have filled both these positions with personnel who are new to the Company. Additionally, in October 2009, the employment of our Chief Financial Officer ended and the role was consolidated, on an interim basis, with that of the new Chief Operating Officer. As a consequence of a lack of continuity of management with limited or no transition or consultation period with prior management, current management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Lack of documentation and/or the availability of documentation or records in the Company’s files of business transactions, contracts and/or evaluations engaged by the Company. As new management was installed by the Board of Directors, it was discovered during the second quarter of Fiscal 2009 that the Company was either missing or lacked pertinent information regarding its operations, including but not limited to certain business commitments to product supply agreements, advertising programs, product placement initiatives and other promotional initiatives, and asset sales. As a consequence of this lack of documentation or availability of documentation or records, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Our management, as part of their review of our internal control over financial reporting, identified the above material weaknesses.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses

The material weaknesses described above comprise control deficiencies that we discovered during the financial close process for the June 30, 2009 fiscal period.

Management is making progress on its remediation plan which includes (i) obtaining and reviewing the underlying documentation for significant agreements, contracts, transactions and other material commitments entered into by the Company and (ii) meeting with retail customers and vendors.

We believe that these measures, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the material weaknesses discussed above.

Remediated Material Weaknesses:

As of December 31, 2009, management determined that it lacked certain subject matter expertise in at least two of the following significant areas: (i) accounting for and the disclosure of complex transactions and (ii) the selection, monitoring and evaluation of certain vendors that provided services to Pharma. At that time, our financial staff lacked sufficient training or experience in accounting for complex transactions and the required disclosure therein.

As part of our remediation program implemented in Fiscal 2009, we (i) recruited a financial and operations professional, Robert V. Cuddihy, Jr., to our executive management, (ii) reorganized the financial staff, including personnel changes and recruitment, (iii) implemented a continuous education and training program for our financial staff, (iv) retained of outside financial consultants to augment our financial staff with certain subject matter expertise, (v) reorganized Pharma staff and retained of outside consultants to augment such Pharma staff with certain subject matter expertise and conducted a thorough review of the entire research and development portfolio of potential products. As a consequence of these actions taken by management, management believes that it has sufficiently remediated these material weaknesses in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are currently undertaking a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses discussed above. Those measures, described under “Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses,” implemented during the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, will materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

THOMAS A. SIMONIAN VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION

On February 24, 2010, an action was commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division by Mr. Thomas Simonian against us for false patent marketing under 35 U.S.C. § 292. Mr. Simonian claims that our Cold-EEZE® packaging references certain patents which have been expired since June 10, 2005 and August 3, 2007. On such information and belief, Mr. Simonian claims that the Company marks certain of its Cold-EEZE® branded products with the expired patents with the intent to deceive the public and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Mr. Simonian is seeking an award of monetary damages.

We are investigating this claim. At this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.

PUBLIC PATENT FOUNDATION, INC. VS. THE QUIGLEY CORPORATION

On February 24, 2010, an action was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Public Patent Foundation, Inc. (“PPF”) against us for false patent marketing under 35 U.S.C. § 292. PPF claims that our Cold-EEZE® packaging references certain patents which have been expired since June 10, 2005 and August 3, 2007. On such information and belief, PPF claims that the Company marks certain of its Cold-EEZE® branded products with the expired patents with the intent to deceive the public and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. PPF is seeking an award of monetary damages.

We are investigating this claim. At this time no prediction can be made as to the outcome of this case.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control environment for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

These material weaknesses, if not properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in future periods and impair its ability to comply with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to public companies. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of financial statements will not be prevented or detected by our internal controls.

In relation to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, we identified material weaknesses in its internal control environment as follows: (i) lack of management continuity due to changes in executive management of the Company and (ii) lack of documentation and/or the availability of documentation or records in the Company’s files of business transactions, contracts and/or evaluations engaged by the Company.

Following the identification of these material weaknesses in our internal control environment, management took measures and plans to continue to take measures to remediate these weaknesses and deficiencies. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address these weaknesses. A failure to correct these weaknesses or other control deficiencies or a failure to discover and address any other control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our condensed consolidated financial statements and could impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis and could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and stock price. Our management identified the above material weaknesses as part of their review of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, we issued 1,440,000 shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate value of approximately $2.6 million to PSI Parent (such shares, the “PSI Shares”), and made a one-time payment to PSI Parent of $1.0 million. PSI Parent has agreed, pursuant to a Share Transfer Restriction Agreement, dated March 22, 2010, between us and PSI Parent, that, with certain exceptions, it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the PSI Shares prior to June 1, 2012. The PSI Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and by virtue of Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such sale and issuance did not involve any public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising. Additionally, PSI Parent represented to us, among other things, that PSI Parent is not a US Person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), that PSI Parent is an accredited investor with access to all relevant information necessary to evaluate its investment and that the PSI Shares were being acquired for investment purposes only.

Pursuant to the term of his employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Cuddihy, our Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, is entitled to an annual grant of restricted shares of Common Stock payable quarterly, promptly following the close of each quarter. Mr. Cuddihy was issued 11,004 shares of Common Stock as compensation for services in Fiscal 2009 pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company. These shares were issued to Mr. Cuddihy by the Company on February 24, 2010.
