SHARPS COMPLIANCE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2004

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of Sharps Compliance Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sharps Compliance, Inc. of Texas (dba Sharps Compliance, Inc.), Sharps e-Tools.com, Inc., Sharps Manufacturing Inc., Sharps Environmental Services, Inc. (dba Sharps Environmental Services of Texas, Inc.) and Sharps Safety, Inc. (collectively, "Sharps" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation..

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company adopted the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition", which provides guidance related to revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices followed by the SEC. Under SAB No. 101, certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points (Sharps Disposal by Mail Systems, referred to as "Mailback" and Sharps Return Boxes, referred to as "Pump Returns") and can consist of up to three separate elements as follows: (1) the sale of the container system, (2) the transportation of the container system and (3) the treatment and disposal (incineration) of the container system. The individual fair value of the transportation and incineration services are determined by the sales price of the service offered by third parties, with the fair value of the container being the residual value. Revenue for the sale of the container is recognized upon delivery to the customer, at which time the customer takes title and assumes risk of ownership. Transportation revenue on Mailbacks is recognized when the customer returns the mailback container system and the container has been received at the Company's treatment facility. The Mailback container system is mailed to the incineration facility using the United States Postal Service. Incineration revenue is recognized upon the destruction and certification of destruction having been prepared on the container. Since the transportation element and the incineration elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the container, the Mailback revenue is deferred until the services are performed. The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends. Furthermore, through regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all container systems sold may not be returned. Accordingly, a portion of the transportation and incineration elements is recognized at the point of sale.

7



NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", but elected to continue to account for its employee stock-based compensation plan under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. While the Company continues to use APB No. 25, pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings per share is required under SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of SFAS Statement No. 123", including that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value options granted. Because changes in input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing model may not necessarily provide the only measure of fair value for the employee stock options.

The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, as follows: risk-free interest rates of 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively; expected annual dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of approximately 34% and 62%, respectively; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 7 years.

Had compensation expense for stock based compensation been determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (and as amended by SFAS No. 148), the Company's net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, would have been increased, as follows:

NOTE 5. ASSET PURCHASE (PRO-TEC)

On October 1, 2002, Sharps completed a purchase of the Pro-Tec product line assets from Futura Medical Corporation ("Futura") for $300,000. As consideration for the asset purchase, the Company made payments of $50,000 at closing, $83,333 on March 1, 2003 and $13,889 for each month from August through March 2004 (i.e. eight payments). The Company is scheduled to make four (4) additional monthly payments of $13,889 (beginning April 30, 2004) to Futura as payment for the remaining obligation. This asset purchase consisted of all inventories, molds, fixtures, supplies, customer list and other fixed assets used in the manufacturing of the Pro-Tec product line. At acquisition date, the asset purchase increased inventory by $78,364 and property and equipment by $221,636. The Company did not assume any operations, other liabilities or employees as a part of this asset purchase. Revenues generated from this product line are classified in the Company's Statement of Operations as "Manufacturing".

NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

        Notes payable and long-term debt consisted of the following:

 
  March 31, 2004
  June 30, 2003
    (Unaudited)  
   
Factoring agreement with financial institution, bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 2%, plus an administrative fee of 0.25% of gross receivable financed $ 92,623 $ 262,043

The Company maintains an arrangement with a financial institution for a $1.25 million asset-based line of credit. The agreement allows the Company to factor customer receivables generated out of its ordinary course of business. The maximum amount available under the line of credit is $1.0 million (or $1.25 million of its gross receivable balance). The agreement is automatically renewed on an annual basis (August 30 of each year) unless terminated by either party. The Company may borrow up to 80% of the eligible receivables presented and incurs interest on gross invoices financed at a rate of interest of prime plus 2%, plus administrative fees of .25% on gross receivables presented. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the maximum borrowed under the arrangement was $152,191 and $431,368, respectively.

NOTE 7. GARNISHMENT RECEIVABLE

In September and October 2003, the Company secured judgments against Ameritech Environmental, Inc. ("Ameritech") totaling $176,958 related to the non-payment by Ameritech for services provided by the Company in 2002. The assets of Ameritech representing collateral for the judgments were sold by Ameritech to MedSolutions, Inc. ("MedSolutions") in November 2003. In January 2004, the Company secured a garnishment order against MedSolutons whereby MedSolutions was ordered to pay to the Company $170,765, plus interest at 5%. Payments under the garnishment order are scheduled to be made monthly in the amount of $4,375 (inclusive of interest) with a balloon payment of $137,721 due November 7, 2004. The Company has received two payments totaling $8,750 (principal and interest), of which $2,917 was paid to an outside attorney for collection services. In the quarters ending March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, the Company wrote-off all outstanding amounts, $75,996 and $106,397 respectively, due from Ameritech. Therefore, all future recoveries of receivables will be recorded as a credit to the allowance for bad debts. Although the Company will continue to aggressively pursue collection of the outstanding amounts under the garnishment order, no assurances regarding collection can be made.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On January 2, 2003, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company sold 356,000 shares of common stock in Sharps Compliance Corp. through a private sale. Purchasers of these shares included, among others, New Century Equity Holdings Corp.

GENERAL

Sharps Compliance Corp. ("Sharps" or the "Company") is a leading developer of superior solutions for improving safety, efficiency, and cost related to the proper disposal of medical waste by industry and consumers. These solutions include the Sharps Disposal by Mail System(TM), Trip LesSystem(TM), Sharps Pump Return Box, Sharps Enteral Pump Return Box, Sharps SureTemp Tote(TM), Pitch-It(TM) IV Poles, Sharps e-Tools, Sharps Environmental Services and Sharps Consulting. The Company's products and services represent cutting edge solutions for a variety of industries dealing with the complexity of managing regulatory compliance, environmental sensitivity, employee and customer safety, corporate risks, and operating costs related to medical waste disposal. Additionally, these services facilitate compliance with educational and training requirements of federal, state and local agencies. Sharps is a leading participant and proponent in the development of public awareness and solutions for the safe disposal of needles, syringes and other sharps in the community setting.

The Company generates its revenue through the manufacturing and distribution of the above-mentioned products primarily to distributors and end users. Historically, the Company's revenue base has been focused primarily in the home healthcare market, however, the Company is currently involved in diversification of sales opportunities to the industrial, commercial and other markets.

On October 1, 2002, Sharps completed a purchase of the Pro-Tec product line assets from Futura Medical Corporation ("Futura") for $300,000. As consideration for the asset purchase, the Company made payments of $50,000 at closing, $83,333 on March 1, 2003 and $13,889 for each month from August through March 2004 (i.e. eight payments). The Company is scheduled to make four (4) additional monthly payments of $13,889 (beginning April 30, 2004) to Futura as payment for the remaining obligation. This asset purchase consisted of all inventories, molds, fixtures, supplies, customer list and other fixed assets used in the manufacturing of the Pro-Tec product line. At acquisition date, the asset purchase increased inventory by $78,364 and property and equipment by $221,636. The Company did not assume any operations, other liabilities or employees as a part of this asset purchase. Revenues generated from this product line are classified in the Company's Statement of Operations as "Manufacturing".

The Pro-Tec product line offers medical sharps disposal containers, specialized for safe disposal of biomedical waste in a full range of services. The Pro-Tec product line is a vertical business integration of the sharps disposal by mail products for the Company. The Company will have savings in product cost on its Sharps Disposable by Mail System(TM) and sales to third parties of this product.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $2,079,946 increased by $242,150, or 13%, over the total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $1,837,796. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to increases in sales of, (i) Sharps Disposal by Mail System(TM) products ($154,095) and (ii) Pitch-It(TM) IV Poles ($88,660).

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $1,234,515 were 59% of revenues versus $1,438,175 or 78% of the revenues for the corresponding period of the previous year. The decrease in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 versus March 31, 2003 is a result of additional costs incurred in the environmental services division of $95,972 and an inventory write down adjustment of $86,918 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2003, which were not incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Operational efficiencies implemented beginning in April 2003 also contributed to the reduction in the cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Selling, general and administrative SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $864,047, decreased by $201,456, or by 19%, versus $1,065,503 for the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year due to the positive impact of management's cost-reduction program. The components of the decrease in the SG&A expense are as follows: (i) compensation ($80,923), (ii) professional fees ($61,950), (iii) benefits ($36,667) and (iv) office expenses ($15,040).

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003

Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 of $6,151,378 decreased by $75,095, or 1%, over the total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 of $6,226,473. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to the absence, in the nine months ended March 31, 2004, of the sale to a leading syringe manufacturer of the Sharps Disposal by Mail System(TM) products totaling $455,023, which occurred in the nine months ended March 31, 2003. Additionally, incineration services revenues decreased by $133,165 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 versus the nine months ended March 31, 2003. These decreases were partially offset by increases in sales of (i) Sharps Disposal by Mail System(TM) products ($254,133), (ii) Pitch-It(TM) IV Poles ($186,639) and (iii) manufacturing products ($113,686).

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 of $3,703,825 were 60% of revenues versus $4,418,116, or 71%, of the revenues for the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 versus March 31, 2003 is a result of additional costs incurred in the environmental services division of $206,325 and an inventory write down adjustment of $86,918 incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2003, which were not incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Operational efficiencies implemented beginning in April 2003 also contributed to the reduction in the cost of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 of $2,498,772, decreased by $366,688, or by 13%, versus $2,865,460 for the corresponding period of the previous year due to the positive impact of management's cost-reduction program. The components of the decrease in the SG&A expense are as follows: (i) professional fees ($176,236), (ii) compensation ($96,391), (iii) travel and entertainment ($42,100) and (iv) office expenses ($26,493).

12


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and restricted cash of $160,456 decreased by $128,279 from the balance at June 30, 2003 of $288,735. The reduction in cash and restricted cash were primarily attributable to the following activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2004: (i) payments on debt instruments totaling $303,631, (ii) increase in accounts receivable and inventory totaling $156,692, (iii) net loss (less depreciation expense) of $89,602 and (iv) capital expenditures of $43,758. The reductions were partially offset by the $500,000 in proceeds from the September 24, 2003 private placement of equity securities.

Accounts receivable increased by $74,209 to $814,969 at March 31, 2004 from $740,760 at June 30, 2003. The increase is directly attributable to the increase in billings in month of ending March 31, 2004 from the month ending March 31, 2003 of $708,758 and $620,957, respectively.

Inventory increased by $76,823 to $375,959 at March 31, 2004 from $299,136 at June 30, 2003. The increase was due to a $99,480 bulk purchase of Pitch-It(TM) IV Poles at the end of March 2004.

Property and equipment decreased by $65,341 to $532,350 at March 31, 2004 from $597,691 at June 30, 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization expense recognized for the nine months ($118,501). This decrease was partially offset by capital expenditures ($53,512).

The Company believes it will incur repair and maintenance expenses of approximately $75,000 for the period April 1 through December 31, 2004 related to the incineration facility in Carthage, Texas.

Management believes that the Company's current cash resources along with its asset-based factoring line of credit will be sufficient to fund operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005.

The Company maintains an arrangement with a financial institution for a $1.25 million asset-based line of credit. The agreement allows the Company to factor customer receivables generated out of its ordinary course of business. The maximum amount available under the line of credit is $1.0 million (or $1.25 million of its gross receivable balance). The agreement is automatically renewed on an annual basis (August 30 of each year) unless terminated by either party. The Company may borrow up to 80% of the eligible receivables presented and incurs interest on gross invoices financed at a rate of interest of prime plus 2%, plus administrative fees of .25% on gross receivables presented. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the maximum borrowed under the arrangement was $152,191 and $431,368, respectively.

GARNISHMENT RECEIVABLE

In September and October 2003, the Company secured judgments against Ameritech Environmental, Inc. ("Ameritech") totaling $176,958 related to the non-payment by Ameritech for services provided by the Company in 2002. The assets of Ameritech representing collateral for the judgments were sold by Ameritech to MedSolutions, Inc. ("MedSolutions") in November 2003. In January 2004, the Company secured a garnishment order against MedSolutons whereby MedSolutions was ordered to pay to the Company $170,765, plus interest at 5%. Payments under the garnishment order are scheduled to be made monthly in the amount of $4,375 (inclusive of interest) with a balloon payment of $137,721 due November 7, 2004. The Company has received two payments totaling $8,750 (principal and interest), of which $2,917 was paid to an outside attorney for collection services. In the quarters ending March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, the company wrote-off all outstanding amounts, $75,996 and $106,397 respectively, due from Ameritech. Therefore, all future recoveries of receivables will be recorded as a credit to the allowance for bad debts. Although the Company will continue to aggressively pursue collection of the outstanding amounts under the garnishment order, no assurances regarding collection can be made

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points and can consist of up to three separate elements as follows: (1) the sale of the container system, (2) the transportation of the container system and (3) the treatment and disposal (incineration) of the container system. Since the transportation element and the incineration elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the container, the revenue is deferred until the services are performed. The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends. Furthermore, through regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all container systems sold may not be returned. Accordingly, a portion of the transportation and incineration elements is recognized at the point of sale.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which requires among other items, that liabilities for the costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when the liabilities are incurred, rather than when an entity commits to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after March 31, 2003. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 146 is dependent on the Company's activities subsequent to adoption.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee and expands the disclosures required to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under guarantees that is has issued. Initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified. The disclosure requirements are effective immediately and were adopted beginning with the Company's Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliveries" ("EITF 00-21"). EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a company for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. In applying EITF 00-21, generally, separate contracts with the same customer that are entered into at or near the same time are presumed to have been negotiated as a package and should, therefore, be evaluated as a single contractual arrangement. It also addresses how contract consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate deliverables in the arrangement. This pronouncement is applicable to revenue arrangements entered into beginning in 2004. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the requirements of EITF 00-21 as described in the revenue recognition disclosure in Notes 2 and 11 of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 contained in Form 10-KSB.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As the Company will continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", the Company's policy for accounting for stock-based employee compensation will not change as a result of SFAS No. 148. The Company will adopt the annual disclosure provisions for its Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2003. The Company adopted the interim disclosure provisions for this Form 10-QSB.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 R ("FIN 46 R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", which requires that companies that control another entity through interests other than voting rights should consolidate the controlled entity. FIN 46 is generally effective for financial statements for interim or annual periods ending on or before March 15, 2004. The related disclosure requirements are effective immediately. Management does not believe the adoption of FIN 46 R will have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends SFAS No. 133 to provide clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires that contracts with similar characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable basis. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 are effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity", which establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
