Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Escrow Receivable

Effective March 29, 2017, we sold our intellectual property rights and other assets related to our Cold-EEZE® brand and product line, including all then current and pipeline over-the-counter allergy, cold, flu, multi-symptom relief and immune support treatments for adults and children to the extent each was, or was intended to be, branded “Cold-EEZE®”, including all formulations and derivatives thereof (collectively referred to as the “Cold-EEZE® Business”) to Mylan Consumer Healthcare Inc. (formerly known as Meda Consumer Healthcare Inc.) (“MCH”) and Mylan Inc. (together with MCH, “Mylan”). As a result of the sale of the Cold-EEZE® business, for Fiscal 2017, we have classified as discontinued operations (i) all income and expenses attributable to the Cold-EEZE® business, (ii) the gain from the sale of the Cold-EEZE® business, and (iii) the income tax expense attributed to the sale of the Cold-EEZE® business. Excluded from the sale of the Cold-EEZE® business were our accounts receivable and inventory. We have also retained all liabilities associated with our Cold-EEZE® business operations arising prior to March 29, 2017.

For Fiscal 2021, no income from discontinued operations was recorded. For Fiscal 2020, we incurred income of $201,000, which was recorded as income (loss) on sale of discontinued operations.

We have indemnification obligations to Mylan under the asset purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold the Cold-EEZE^® business to Mylan, that may require us to make future payments to Mylan and other related persons for any damages incurred by Mylan or such related persons as a result of any breaches of our representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the asset purchase agreement, or arising from the Retained Liabilities (as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement) or certain third party claims specified in the asset purchase agreement. Generally, our representations and warranties survive for a period of 24 months from the closing date, which was March 29, 2017, other than certain fundamental representations which survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. There is a limited indemnification cap with respect to a majority of the Company’s indemnification obligations under the asset purchase agreement with the exception of claims for actual fraud, the breach of any fundamental representations and certain other items, which have a larger indemnification cap (i.e., the purchase price).

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we, Mylan, and an escrow agent entered into an Escrow Agreement at closing, pursuant to which Mylan deposited $5.0 million of the aggregate purchase price for the Cold-EEZE^® business into an escrow account established with the escrow agent in order to satisfy, in whole or in part, certain of our indemnity obligations under the asset purchase agreement. Other than certain fundamental representations which survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, our representations and warranties under the agreement expired 24 months after the closing date, which was March 29, 2017.

On May 4, 2020, the final pending claim against our escrow account with Mylan was resolved and, as a result, the escrow agent released all funds from the escrow account to us on May 7, 2020, in the amount of $4.8 million.

Manufacturing Agreement

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PMI, entered into a manufacturing agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) with Mylan in connection with the asset purchase agreement we entered into with Mylan in 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement, Mylan (or an affiliate or designee) purchased the inventory of the Company’s Cold-EEZE® brand and product line, and PMI agreed to manufacture certain products for Mylan, as described in the Manufacturing Agreement, at prices that reflect current market conditions for such products and include an agreed upon mark-up on our costs. On May 1, 2021, the Manufacturing Agreement was assigned by Mylan to Nurya Brands, Inc. (“Nurya”) in connection with Nurya’s acquisitions of certain assets from Mylan, including the Cold-EEZE® brand and product line. Unless terminated sooner by the parties, the Manufacturing Agreement will remain in effect until March 29, 2022. Thereafter, the Manufacturing Agreement may be renewed by Nurya for up to five successive one-year periods by providing notice of its intent to renew not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term . The Company has received Nurya’s intent to renew the Manufacturing Agreement and the current termination date is March 29, 2023.
