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 Cold Remedy zinc gluconate lozenges, proven in clinical studies to reduce the duration of the common cold. In addition to Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy lozenges, we market and distribute non-lozenge forms of our proprietary zinc gluconate formulation, (i) Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy QuickMelts® and (ii) Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy Oral Spray. Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy Oral Spray is a liquid form of our zinc gluconate formulation that is sprayed in the mouth. Cold-EEZE® Cold Remedy QuickMelts® are fast dissolving tablets that are taken orally. Cold-EEZEÒ Cold Remedy is an established product in the health care and cold remedy market. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we operated in one reporting segment and our revenues have come principally from our OTC cold remedy products.
