These two product offerings account for over 50% of physicians, dentists and veterinary practices.company revenues.

In October 2014,nationwide availability. The MedSafe solution meets the Company launched MedSafe®, a patent pending solution for the safe collection, transportation and proper disposalimmediate needs of unwanted and expired prescription medications including controlled substances from ultimate users. MedSafehas been designed to meet or exceed the regulations issued byan increasing community risk associated with unused, ultimate-user, medications. Developed in accordance with the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) implementingimplementation of the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 (the “Act”), which became effective October 9, 2014. In July 2015MedSafe is a superior solution used in both private and December 2015,public sectors to properly remove medications from communities and aid in the prevention of drug abuse.
Over the past few years, the Company augmented its networkhas made a series of investments to build a robust direct service, route-based, pickup offering for medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste. We have built an infrastructure capable of covering more than 70% of the U.S. population with permitted trucks, transfer stations and treatment facilities. We continue to add routes and the infrastructure required for operational efficiency to reach more customers and prospects directly. Our route-based services, matched with comprehensive mailback solutions, offer us a key differentiator in the market and the ability to capitalize on larger or regional contracts within the healthcare market. With the growth in infrastructure to support the route-based service, we have strategically added new distribution for faster and more cost-effective delivery of products to customers.
We continue to develop new solutions to meet market demands. Over the past five years, we have added a robust portfolio of ultimate-user medication disposal solutions for controlled substances, a system for DEA-inventory controlled medication disposal for professionals, the Black Pail Program for disposal of most unused pharmaceuticals, including Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") hazardous medications, and the Inhaler Disposal system. We have also developed route-based services for medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste, service providers with acquisitionsthe TakeAway Recycle System™ for single-use devices ("SUDs") and the Hazardous Drug Spill Control Kit™, a USP <800> (as defined below) compliant spill kit for cleanup of route-based pickup services in the Northeast serving Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohiochemotherapy and other neighboring states. Additionally,hazardous drug spills.
As hospitals and surgery centers increase their sustainability efforts, they are looking for ways to recycle more materials, such as SUDs. SUDs are constructed of materials capable of being recycled, primarily plastics and metals. With a greater emphasis for more sustainable solutions, the Company now services parts of Texas and Louisiana with route-based pickup services. In July 2016,TakeAway Recycle System is a much-needed complement to the Company acquired another route-basedsingle-use device market.
Our dually permitted trucks allow our hazardous waste direct pickup service which expandedto align with our medical waste so that we can fully service all our customers. Most healthcare professionals have hazardous waste in addition to New York and New Jersey and strengthened the Company’s position in the Northeast. The Company now offers its route-based pickup services inmedical waste. By also transporting hazardous waste, we have a twenty-three (23) state region of the South, Southeast and Northeast portions of the United States.competitive advantage over local haulers while still offering cost-effective pricing.

Our principal executive offices are located at 9220 Kirby Drive, Suite 500, Houston, Texas. Our telephone number at that location is (713) 432-0300. We currently have 124182 full-time employees and 62 part-time employees.employees. We have manufacturing, assembly, distribution and warehousing operations located in Houston, Texas.
We own and operate a fully-permitted treatment facility in Carthage, Texas that incorporates our processing and treatment operations. Over six years ago, we supplemented the treatment facility’s existing incineration process withThe Carthage facility offers both steam sterilization in an autoclave system, which is a cost-effective alternative to traditionaland high heat incineration that treatsfor the proper treatment of regulated medical waste with steam at high temperature and pressure to kill pathogens.non-hazardous pharmaceuticals. The autoclave system is utilized alongside the incinerator for day-to-day operations. We believe thatThe Carthage location also serves as the Company's main facility for managing our recycling solution. In August 2020, the Company added a second autoclave to the Texas facility is one of only ten permitted commercial facilities in the United States capable of treating all types of medical waste, used healthcare materials and unused or expired dispensed medications (i.e., both incineration and autoclave capabilities). This arrangement not only reduces the Company’s return transportation costs associated with its solutions but also provides back-up treatment facility capabilities in the event of disruption at the Company’s treatment facilities. The Company’s route-based pickup service business covers a twenty-three state region in the South, Southeast and Northeast portions of the United States. facility.
In August 2016, the Company received the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Waste Management permit for the processing of medical waste at its treatment facility located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The 40,000 square foot facility has been permitted as both a medical waste treatment facility, using an autoclave, and as a transfer station for medical, pharmaceutical and trace chemotherapy waste of up to 82 tons per day. The facility is designed to cost-effectively and efficiently process medical waste generated by the Company’s route-based and mailback customers and also doubles as a distribution center of mailback solutions andsolutions. It has been in operation since November 2016. The Company is in the process of adding a second autoclave to the Pennsylvania facility with expected completion in October 2020.

Uncertainty Relating to COVID-19 and the Company’s Continuation of Its Infrastructure Build Out
We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the year ended June 30, 2020 from COVID-19, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on our operations or mandates to provide products or services), impacts on our supply chain, the effect on customer demand or

changes to our operations. The health of our workforce, and our ability to meet staffing needs in our route-based, treatment and distribution operations and other critical functions cannot be predicted and is vital to our operations.
The Company has taken precautionsto ensure the safety of its employees, while at the same time remaining active as a leading national provider of comprehensive medical waste solutions, bringing uninterrupted essential support to its customers and the healthcare industry. For example, the Company increased its route-based drivers, plant and operations personnel by ten percent (10%) in advance of the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure that its operations and servicing of customers would not be adversely affected by the potential absence of employees due to COVID-19. The Company also temporarily increased the pay for its front-line operations personnel and drivers during the pandemic.
Related to customer demand, the Company has seen temporary closures of about 1,000 dental, dermatology and physician practices equating to about $0.1 million in lost monthly revenue for the Company. Offsetting this is increased volumes of medical waste generated by many of the Company’s long-term care customers who are utilizing the Company’s systems and services to contain and dispose of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) utilized in their facilities.
The Company is continuing to focus on expanding its infrastructure, programs which began in calendar 2019, to support what it believes will be a strong 2020 flu and immunization season as well as medical waste disposal related to a potential COVID-19 vaccine which may become available for administration in the U.S. Additionally, the Company sees other potential increased medical waste volumes related to COVID-19 such as the long-term care market where PPE in many facilities is being disposed of as medical waste and not as trash which has been the historical practice. Finally, the Company’s route-based footprint now extends to 32 states, or 70% of the population, significantly increasing the pipeline of larger small and medium quantity generator sales opportunities.
To address these opportunities, the Company is:
Significantly increasing its production and inventory of medical waste mailback and shipback solutions to ensure it remains well positioned to meet an expected increase in customer demand related to the 2020 season flu and the potential COVID-19 vaccine;
Increasing its medical waste processing capacity from 10 million to 27 million pounds per year through the addition of a larger autoclave at its Texas facility as well as an additional autoclave at its Pennsylvania facility;
Securing a larger warehouse and distribution facility in Pennsylvania to store and distribute larger volumes of medical waste mailbacks; and
Expanding its route-based truck fleet and drivers necessary to facilitate the potential increase in volumes from its expanded 32 state route-based footprint and related larger prospect opportunities.

The Company applied for and received loan proceeds of $2.2 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under a promissory note from its existing commercial bank (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.
On a broader note, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, consumer spending as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown. In addition, we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our customers, vendors, suppliers and other business partners; however, any material adverse effect on these parties could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial conditions. External effects from the COVID-19 pandemic began at the end of the third quarter and were not material to the year ended June 30, 2020 results. Given the timing of when the COVID-19 quarantine manifested itself (middle of third quarter) in the U.S., the financial impacts to the Company may have only partially been captured within the results of operations reported to date. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with customers, employees and business partners and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as adverse developments in our business. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, please see item Part I, Item 1A, Risk factors in this report.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Company continues to focus on core markets and solution offerings that fuel growth. Its key markets include healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, home healthcare providers, assisted living/long-term care, retail pharmacies and clinics and the professional market which is comprised of physicians, dentists, surgery centers and veterinary practices. These markets require cost-effective services for managing medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste.

The Company believes its growth opportunities are supported by the following:

A large professional market that consists of dentists, veterinarians, clinics, physician groups, urgent care facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, labs, dialysis centers and other healthcare facilities. This regulated market consists of small to medium quantity generators of medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste where we can offer a lower cost to service with solutions to match individual facility needs. The Company addresses this market from two directions: (i) field sales which focus on larger-dollar and nationwide opportunities where we can integrate the route-based pickup service along with our mailback solutions to create a comprehensive medical waste management offering and (ii) inside and online sales which focus on the individual or small group professional offices, government agencies, smaller retail pharmacies and clinics and assisted living/long term care facilities. The Company is able to compete more aggressively in the medium quantity generator market with the addition of route-based services where the mailback may not be as cost effective. The Company’s route-based business provides direct service to areas encompassing over 70% of the U.S. population.

The Company is able to compete more aggressively in the medium quantity generator market with the addition of route-based services where the mailback may not be as cost effective. The Company’s route-based business provides direct service to areas encompassing about 155 million people or 48% of the U.S. population.
From July 2015 to July 2016, the Company acquired three route-based pickup service companies, which strengthened the Company's position in the Northeast. Through a combination of acquisition and organic growth, the Company now offers route-based pickup services in a thirty-two (32) state region of the South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast portions of the United States. To facilitate operational efficiencies, the Company has opened transfer stations and offices in strategic locations. The Company directly serves more than 13,750 customer locations with route-based pickup services. With the addition of these route-based pickup regions and the network of medical and hazardous waste service providers servicing the entire U.S., the Company offers customers a blended product portfolio to effectively manage multi-site and multi-sized locations, including those that generate larger quantities of waste. The network has had a significant positive impact on our pipeline of sales opportunities - over 60% of this pipeline is attributable to opportunities providing comprehensive waste management service offerings where both the mailback and pickup service are integrated into the offering.
The changing demographics of the U.S. population – according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2019 Population Estimates and National Projections, the nation's 65-and-older population has grown rapidly since 2010 (34.2% over the past decade), which will increase the need for cost-effective medical waste management solutions, especially in the long-term care and home healthcare markets. With multiple solutions for managing regulated healthcare-related waste, the Company delivers value as a single-source provider with blended mailback and route-based pickup services matched to the waste volumes of each facility.

With an increased number of self-injectable medication treatments and local regulations, the Company believes its flagship product, the Sharps Recovery System, continues to offer the best option for proper sharps disposal at an affordable price. The Company delivers comprehensive services to pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell high-dollar, self-injectable medications, which include data management, compliance reporting, fulfillment, proper containment with disposal, branding and conformity with applicable regulations.

Over the flu seasons from 2011 to 2014, the growth in the Retail flu business for Sharps was between 24% and 36%. Despite the decrease in Retail flu business for fiscal year 2017 (the 2016 flu season) of 15% due to a mild flu season and the loss of one retail pharmacy customer, Sharps believes the Retail market should continue to contribute to long-term growth for the Company as consumers increasingly use alternative sites, such as retail pharmacies, to obtain flu and other immunizations.

Our operations are fully integrated, including manufacturing, assembly, distribution, treatment, online tracking and customer reporting. We have manufacturing, assembly, distribution and warehousing operations located in Houston, Texas. We own and operate a fully-permitted treatment facility in Carthage, Texas that incorporates our processing and treatment operations. Over six years ago, we supplemented the treatment facility’s existing incineration process withThe Carthage facility offers both steam sterilization, in an autoclave system, which is a cost-effective alternative to traditionaland high heat incineration that treatsfor the proper treatment of regulated medical waste with steam at high temperature and pressure to kill pathogens.non-hazardous pharmaceuticals. The autoclave system is utilized alongside the incinerator for day-to-day operations. We believe that our Texas facility is one of only ten permitted commercial facilities in the United States capable of treating all types of medical waste used healthcare materials and unused or expired medications including controlled substancespharmaceuticals (i.e., both incineration and autoclave capabilities). The Carthage location also serves as the Company's main facility for managing our recycling solution. In August 2016, the Company received the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Waste Management permit for the processing of medical waste asat its treatment facility located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The 40,000 square foot facility has been permitted as both a medical waste treatment facility, using an autoclave, and as a transfer station for medical, pharmaceutical and trace chemotherapy waste of up to 82 tons per day. The facility is designed to cost-effectively and efficiently process medical waste generated by the Company’s route-based and mailback customers and also doubles as a distribution center of mailback solutions and has been in operation since November 2016. The Company’s route-based pickup service business covers over 70% of the U.S. population in areas throughout the South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast. We track the movement of each shipment from outbound shipping to ultimate treatment and provide confirmation to the customer for their records using our proprietary SharpsTracer tracking and documentation system. We also track treatment volumes associated with pickup services provided as part of our blended product portfolio using SharpsTracer. We also provide customized reporting and comprehensive regulatory support for many of our customers. By controlling all aspects of the process internally, the Company is able to provide a one-stop solution and simplify the tracking and record-keeping processes to meet regulatory requirements for our customers.

Increased state and federal regulatory attention.

To protect citizens and waste workers from needle stick injuries, ten states have passed state-wide legislation or regulations making it illegal to discard used sharps into household trash. Numerous cities, such as Seattle, have passed ordinances making householddisposal of sharps disposalin the trash illegal. Almost all other states, as well as the District of Columbia and territories have passed educational requirements, or released strict guidelines regarding home sharps disposal. Whether legislation or strict guidelines, most of the U.S. population is required or strongly encouraged to not place usedfirst properly contain their home generated sharps inbefore placing into the household trash. In addition, severalcertain states and counties have passed ordinances requiring businesses such as hospitals and those that sell syringes to the public, such as retail pharmacies and veterinary clinics, to take back syringes, once used, in regulatory-compliant sharps containers at no charge to the consumer.


In order to reduce accidental poisonings and pollution of our water and municipal water systems, twenty-two22 states and the District of Columbia have introduced legislation over the last few years intended to manage the disposal of consumer unused medications. Seven states and the District of Columbia have successfully passed such legislation. Passed or pending legislation related to disposal of consumer medications covers about two-thirds of the U.S. population. Further, since 2009, the federal government, nine states and several counties have introduced legislation requiring manufacturer responsibility for consumer generated unused medications. Statemedications and in some cases home sharps disposal. Both Federal and state regulatory agencies are also addressing this issue including multiple states which now require healthcare providersby banning the sewering of medications by medical facilities and by strongly encouraging the public to avoid sewer and trash disposalprohibit sewering of non-hazardous unused medications within their facilities.unwanted drugs. States such as California, Washington and Minnesota have required assessment and proper treatment by a medical waste disposal company for years. However, other states such as Colorado and Florida are now requiring even small healthcare providers to segregate unused medications for proper disposal. In 2010, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act, leading to DEA changes to the Controlled Substances Act in 2014, allowing certain DEA registrants to collect controlled substances from the public. Collection receptacles can now be found in retail pharmacies, long-term care facilities and hospitals throughout the country. In addition, states are beginning to more closely scrutinize generators returning through reverse distribution unused inventory medications classified as qualifying

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has recently passed regulations that will affect the healthcare industry including the Generator Improvement Rule passed in November 2016 and the Management Standards for manufacturer creditHazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals passed in February 2019 (the “Pharmaceutical Rule”). The Pharmaceutical Rule mandates that are actuallyhealthcare facilities compliantly manage the hazardous waste pharmaceuticals generated on their sites through less rigorous and should be disposedmore streamlined regulatory requirements. The Pharmaceutical Rule also instituted a national ban on the sewering of any hazardous waste pharmaceuticals generated by healthcare facilities as such.of August 19, 2019. As state adoption of these federal regulations occurs over the next 24 months and federal enforcement of these statutes increases, more companies could turn to solutions such as ours to help manage their medicalhazardous waste andpharmaceutical, especially in the long-term care setting, providing the needed regulatory compliance. We believe we are well positioned to benefit given our strict adherence to established standards and extensive documentation and records.

GROWTH STRATEGIES

We plan to grow our business by employing the following primary growth strategies:

Develop new products and services.
We continue to develop new solution offerings including ultimate-user medication disposal (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System), mailback services for DEA registrant expired inventory of controlled substances (TakeAway Medication Recovery System DEA Reverse Distribution for Registrants) and shipback services for the collection and recycling of single-use devices (TakeAway Recycle System). These innovative product and service offerings allow us to gain further sales from existing customers as well as gain new customers who have a need for more comprehensive products. We will continue our efforts to develop new solution offerings designed to facilitate the proper and cost effective management of medical waste, pharmaceutical waste, hazardous waste and ultimate-user medication disposals to better serve our customers and the environment. Additionally, we will continue to seek out and identify prospective new customers and markets for new solutions designed to meet the needs of these new customer segments.
Further penetrate existing customers and markets.

The addition of direct-service hazardous waste capabilities to our existing route-based regulated medical waste customers adds a viable cross-selling opportunity for the Company. While we offer hazardous waste services nationwide, the ability to directly service increases operational efficiencies and provides a better priced solution for the customer. In addition to hazardous waste services, the Company has multiple pharmaceutical waste solutions for cross-selling within the existing customer base including DEA-registrant disposal, non-controlled medication disposal and RCRA pharmaceutical disposal. The Company is a single-service provider for multiple healthcare-related waste generated in small to mid-size generators.
A new market for the Company is recycling of single-use devices. The interest from healthcare institutions in safer and more sustainable offerings has generated a full line of single-use devices and a tendency towards recycling at end of life rather than disposal in landfills. The opportunity to provide a recycling solution to surgical operatories that use these single-use devices offers the Company an exciting and sustainable solution in a new market. Further, we are able to develop solutions specific for single-use device manufacturers, building new relationships with manufacturers looking for a key marketing differentiator.

Many of our customers who currently use the Sharps Recovery System and TakeAway Recovery System could also benefit from the TakeAway Medication Recovery System, Medsafe,MedSafe, our hazardous waste solutions, our universal waste solutions or other specialized products. Although currently focused primarily on the proper management of medical and pharmaceutical wastes generated by medical professionals, pharmacies (including chains and mail order), assisted living facilities and other related organizations will develop needs for our other product lines as they expand their patient service offerings. As an entrenched and value-added supplier of treatment solutions, we believe the Company has the ability to capture incremental business from our existing customers.

The Company’s Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings have grown from $0.3 million to $6.0$4.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2017,2020, respectively. We continue to see increased interest in our patient support program solution among pharmaceutical manufacturers as it relates to self-injectable medications especially related to new drug launches. We believe manufacturers are now, more than ever, focused on (i) product differentiation, (ii) improved interaction with patients and (iii) creating a touch point for individual patient follow-up that could lead to improved therapy outcomes. The patient support programs include the direct fulfillment of the Sharps Recovery System to the pharmaceutical manufacturers’ program participants, which provides the proper containment, return and treatment of the needles or injection devices utilized in therapy. Sharps’ proprietary SharpsTracer system tracks the return of the Sharps Recovery System by the patient to the treatment facility and then makes available to the pharmaceutical manufacturer electronic data. This data assists them in monitoring medication discipline and provides them with a touch point for individual patient follow-up, which potentially could lead to better outcomes. We believe the Company is thea leader in providing solutions of this type to this market.

We are positive about anticipated growth opportunities in the Retail market. According to the CDC, 24%44.9% of U.S. adults received a flu shot, and 32.2% of flu shots for adults were administered in a retail clinic. clinic in 2018.

Despite the decrease in Retail flu business for fiscal year 2017 (the 2016 flu season) of 15% due to a mild flu season and the loss of one retail pharmacy customer,volatility, Sharps believes the Retail market should continue to contribute to long-term growth for the Company as consumers increasingly use alternative sites, such as retail pharmacies, to obtain flu and other immunizations.

The Company directly serves more than 9,50013,750 customer locations with route-based pickup services offered to areas encompassing about 155 million people or 48%over 70% of the U.S. population.

The offering includes a single point of contact, consolidated billing, regulatory support and complete integration of our SharpsTracer system. The Company believes the comprehensive offering will continue to assist the Company in obtaining larger opportunities whereby the customer has both larger and smaller facilities generating medical waste, used healthcare materials and hazardous waste resulting in a more consistent and predictable revenue base for the Company.

Develop new products and services.

We continue to develop new solution offerings including ultimate user medication disposal (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System), mailback services for DEA registrant expired inventory of controlled substances (TakeAway Medication Recovery System DEA Reverse Distribution for Registrants) and shipback services for the collection and recycling of single-use devices (TakeAway Recycle System).

Additionally, we will continue to seek out and identify prospective new customers and markets for new solutions designed to meet the needs of these new customer segments.

Enhance sales and marketing efforts.

Over the past five years, the Company has made ongoing investments in sales and marketing initiatives to drive growth in two areas:

·
Web and Inside Sales — Through targeted telemarketing initiatives (inside sales), e-commerce driven website and web-based promotional activities, we believe we can drive significant additional growth as we increase awareness of the Company’s innovative solution offerings with a focus on individual or small group professional offices, government agencies, smaller retail pharmacies and clinics and assisted living/long-term care facilities.

·
Field Sales – The field sales team focuses on larger dollar and nationwide opportunities in most of the markets served. The field sales team is able to address larger opportunities where we can integrate the route-based pickup service along with our mailback solutions to create a comprehensive waste management offering.

We have seen success with this approach in fiscal years 2014 through 2017 and believe the comprehensive offering capabilities will continue to accelerate revenue growth of the Company.

Improve product and service awareness to attract new customers.

As we grow, we continue to focus additional marketing and sales efforts designed to educate professional offices, retail pharmacies and clinics, assisted living and long-term care facilities, home healthcare, government, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other commercial organizations that require cost-effective services for managing medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste ofon the benefits of our solution offeringssolutions and the need for safe, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly methods of waste treatment, including medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous.hazardous waste treatment. We believe that the full-service nature of our solution offerings and the ease and convenience of our mailmail- and ship-back based delivery system and convenience will attract new customers who are not yet aware of the services we provide. In addition to providing a convenient, cost-effective solution to waste and used healthcare materials treatment, weWe believe future growth will be driven by the need for our customers to properly document and track the disposal of their waste to maintain compliance with new and existing legislation. We believe our understanding of the legislative process and focus on accurate and thorough electronic tracking of waste disposal or treatment will provide substantial benefits to new customers looking to comply with new standards and promote environmentally cleaner business practices.

WeThe Company currently transporttransports (from the patient or user to the Company’s facilityfacilities or subcontracted treatment facilities) the majoritymany of ourits mailback and unused medication solution offerings using USPS; therefore,USPS. Therefore, any long-term interruption in USPS delivery services would disrupt the return transportation and treatment element of our business. Postal delivery interruptions are rare. Additionally, since USPS employees are federal employees, such employees may be prohibited from engaging in or continuing a postal work stoppage, although there can be no assurance that such work stoppage can be avoided. We also have an arrangement with UPS whereby UPS transports certain other mailback and unused medication solution offerings. The ability to ship items, whether through the USPS or UPS, is regulated by the government and related agencies. Any change in regulation restricting the shipping of medical waste, used healthcare materials or unused or expired dispensed pharmaceuticals through these channels would be detrimental to our ability to conduct operations.

We maintain relationships with multiple raw materials suppliers and vendors in order to meet customer demands and assure availability of our products and solutions. With respect to the Sharps Recovery System solutions, we own proprietary molds and dies and utilize several contract manufacturers for the production of the primary raw materials. We believe that alternative suitable contract manufacturers are readily available to meet the production specifications of our products and solutions.

COMPETITION

There are several competitors who offer similar or identical products and services that facilitate the disposal of smaller quantities of medical waste. There are also a number of companies that focus specifically on the marketing of products and services which facilitate disposal through transport by the USPS (similar to the Company’s products). These companies include (i) smaller private companies or (ii) divisions of larger companies. Additionally, we compete in certain markets with Stericycle, the largest medical waste company in the country, which focuses primarily on a pickup service business model. With the addition of the route-based pickup services offered on a direct basis in a twenty-three (23) state regioncovering over 70% of the U.S. population throughout the South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast portions of the United States and through a network of medical and hazardous waste services providers, the Company believes it is betterwell positioned with its comprehensive medical waste management offering to compete with Stericycle. As Sharps continues to grow and increase awareness of the proper disposal of syringes and unused medications (including controlled substances), it could face additional and possibly significant competition. We believe our comprehensive line of proven solution offerings, comprehensive medical waste management service offerings, first mover advantages, excellent industry reputation, significant history of market and customer success, quality solutions and products, as well as our capabilities as a vertically-integrated producer of products and services provide significant differentiation in the current competitive market.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Sharps is subject to extensive federal, state and/orand local laws, rules and regulations. We are required to obtain permits, authorizations, approvals, certificates and other types of governmental permission from the EPA, the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the State of Texas, the State of Pennsylvania and local governments with respect to our facilities and operations. Such laws, rules and regulations have been established to promote occupational safety and health standards and certain standards have been established in connection with the handling, transportation and disposal of certain types of medical and solid wastes, including transported medical waste. Our estimated annual costs of complying with these laws, regulations and guidelines, including environmental laws, is currently less than $200,000 per year. In the event additional laws, rules or regulations are adopted which affect our business, additional expenditures may be required in order for Sharps to be in compliance with such changing laws, rules and regulations.

TREATMENT FACILITIES
ITEM 1A.
The Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas is currently permitted to process 100 tons per day. The incinerator at the facility is currently permitted to treat 40 tons per day of municipal solid waste with 10% of this amount identified as applicable to healthcare facility generated medical waste. The Company has supplemented the treatment facility’s incineration process with an autoclave system and technology capable of treating up to 8 tons per day of medical waste at the same facility. In August 2020, the Company added a second autoclave capable of treating up to an additional 34 tons per day of medical waste. Autoclaving is a cost-effective alternative to traditional incineration that treats medical waste with steam at high temperature and pressure to kill pathogens. The autoclave system is utilized alongside the incinerator for day-to-day operations. The autoclave system is not impacted by the EPA amended Clean Air Act (discussed below). We believe that our facility is one of only ten permitted commercial facilities in the United States capable of treating all types of medical waste, used healthcare materials and unused or expired dispensed medications (i.e., both incineration and autoclave capabilities).
The Company also leases 54,228 square feet of space in Pennsylvania, including 40,000 square feet, which the Company utilizes as a fully-permitted facility to house a treatment and distribution facility. The facility is permitted as both a medical waste treatment facility, utilizing an autoclave, and as a transfer station for medical, pharmaceutical and trace chemotherapy waste of up to 82 tons per day. The Company is in the process of adding a second autoclave to this facility with expected completion in October 2020.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We may be unable to manage our growth effectively.

We continued to experience core revenue growth in fiscal year 20172020 as we saw the benefits of our marketing activities in all of our target markets. Revenue increased 14%15% to $38.2$51 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20172020 driven by increases in the retail, home health care, assisted living, professional marketand pharmaceutical manufacturer markets due primarilymainly to increased flu shot

Table of Contents
related orders, increased route-based pickup services, increased order activity for unused medication solutions, including the MedSafe and TakeAway Recovery System envelopes, an expanded relationship with a major healthcare distributor, increased COVID-19 related wasted management and targeted telemarketing initiatives and promotional activities, continued rollout of new patient support programs in the pharmaceutical market and increases in the home health care and assisted living markets.activities. The increase in revenue and execution of our growth strategies has placed and will continue to place significant demands on our financial, operational and management resources. In order to continue our growth, we may need, at some point, to add operations, administrative and other personnel and to make additional investments in the infrastructure and systems. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find and train qualified personnel, do so on a timely basis or expand our operations and systems to the extent and in the time required.

If the flu related business of our customers decreases, the revenues generated by our business could decrease.

Our operating results are dependent in part upon the amount and types of solutions necessary to service our customers’ needs which are heavily influenced by the total number of patients our customers are serving at any time, especially related to the administration of flu shots. At times of lower patient activity, our customers have a decreased need for our services on a supplemental or peak needs basis. Our operating results can vary depending on the timing and severity of the flu season as well as other factors affecting the volume of flu shots administered in the retail setting.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly.

Our operating results have historically varied on a quarterly basis and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results, some of which are beyond the control of management, include, but are not limited to, seasonality; the timing of inventory builds for patient support programs of our pharmaceutical manufacturer customers; the timing and severity of the flu season; fluctuations in inventory, energy, transportation, labor, healthcare and other costs; significant acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and other strategic initiatives; and many of the other risk factors discussed herein. Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and investors should not rely on the results of any particular quarter as an indication of our future performance.

Our business is dependent on a small number of customers. To the extent we are not successful in winning additional business mandates from our government and commercial customers or attracting new customers, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We are dependent on a small group of customers. In addition, there is an inherent concentration of credit risk associated with accounts receivable arising from sales to our major customers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, one customer2020, two customers represented approximately 17%35% of revenue. This customerrevenues. Two of these customers also represented approximately 10%44%, or $0.8$5.2 million, of the total accounts receivable balance atas of June 30, 2017. 2020. To the extent significant customers are delinquent or delayed in paying, or we are not successful in obtaining consistent and additional business from our existing and new customers, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.
13

The loss of the Company’sour senior executives could affect the Company’sour ability to manage the business profitability.
Our growth and development to date has been largely dependent on the active participation and leadership of our senior management team consisting of the Company’s CEO and President, Vice President and CFO, Senior Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Quality AssuranceOperations and Vice President of Marketing. We believe that the continued success of the business is largely dependent upon the continued employment of the senior management team and have, therefore, (i) entered into individual employment arrangements with key personnel and (ii) approved the Compensation and Incentive Plan for participation by the senior management team in order to provide an incentive for their continued employment with the Company.us. The unplanned loss or illness of one or more members of the senior management team and our inability to hire key employees could disrupt and adversely impact the Company’sour ability to execute itsour business plan.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which could adversely affect our business operations and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
For example, related to customer demand, during the period from March 2020 to May 2020, the Company saw temporary closures of about 1,000 dental, dermatology and physician practices equating to about $0.1 million in lost monthly revenue for
16

Table of Contents
the Company. Offsetting this has been increased volumes of medical waste generated by many of the Company’s long-term care customers who are utilizing the Company’s systems and services to contain and dispose of PPE utilized in their facilities.
In addition to volatility in customer demand and buying habits, we may restrict operations if we deem it necessary or if recommended or mandated by governmental authorities which would have a further adverse impact on us. We have incurred additional costs to ensure we meet the needs of our customers, including increases in headcount for route-based, treatment and distribution personnel, pay increases for these front-line employees and working capital costs to increase inventory levels to meet expected customer demand later in the calendar year.
Further, our management is focused on mitigating COVID-19, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources across our enterprise. Additionally, currently some of our employees are working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.
If we do not respond appropriately to the pandemic, or if customers do not perceive our response to be adequate, we could suffer damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including: the severity of the virus; the duration of the outbreak; governmental, business and other actions (which could include limitations on our operations or mandates to provide products or services); the promotion of social distancing and the adoption of shelter-in-place orders affecting foot traffic in our customers’ facilities; the impacts on our supply chain; the impact of the pandemic on the U.S. economic activity overall; the extent and duration of the effect on customer demand and buying patterns including spend on discretionary categories; the effects of additional customer closures or other changes to our operations; the health of and availability on our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs in our route-based, treatment and distribution operations and other critical functions, particularly if members of our work force are quarantined as a result of exposure; any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of a weaker economic conditions; and the potential effects on our internal controls including those over financial reporting as a result of changes in working environments such as shelter-in-place and similar orders that are applicable to our employees and business partners, among others. In addition, if the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit or financial markets, or impacts our credit ratings, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In addition, we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners, and each of their financial conditions; however, any material adverse effect on these parties could adversely impact our business operations, results of operations, cash flow, and financial position. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed herein, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
Risks associated with our acquisition strategy could adversely affect our operating results.
We expect a portion of our growth to come from acquisitions, and we continue to evaluate opportunities for acquiring businesses that may supplement our internal growth. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and purchase suitable operations. In addition, the success of any acquisition depends in part on our ability to integrate the acquired business. The process of integrating acquired businesses may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of management’s attention and the Company’sour financial and other resources. There can be no assurance that any acquisitions, if completed, will be successful.

Aggressive pricing by existing competitors and the entrance of new competitors could drive down the Company’sour profits and slow its growth.
There are several competitors who offer similar or identical products and services that facilitate the disposal of smaller quantities of medical waste. There are also a number of companies that focus specifically on the marketing of products and services, which facilitate disposal through transport by the USPS (similar to the Company’s products). These companies include (i) smaller private companies or (ii) divisions of larger companies. Additionally, we compete in certain markets with Stericycle, the largest medical waste company in the country, which focuses primarily on a pickup service business model. As Sharps continues to grow and increase awareness of the proper disposal of syringes and unused medications, it could face additional and possibly significant competition. As a result, we could experience increased pricing pressures that could reduce our margins. In addition, as we expand our business into other markets, the number, type and size of our competitors may expand. Many of these potential competitors may have greater financial and operational resources, flexibility to reduce prices and other competitive advantages that could adversely impact our current competitive position.

The lack of customer long-term volume commitments could adversely affect the Company’s profits and future growth.
Although we enter into exclusive contracts with the majority of our enterprise customers, these contracts do not have provisions for firm long-term volume commitments. In general, customer purchase orders may be canceled and order volume levels can be changed or delayed with limited or no penalties. Canceled, delayed or reduced purchase orders could significantly affect our financial performance.

The Company is subject to extensive and costly federal, state and local laws, and existing or future regulations may restrict the Company’s operations, increase our costs of operations and subject us to additional liability.
We are subject to extensive federal, state and/orand local laws, rules and regulations. We are required to obtain permits, authorizations, approvals, certificates and other types of governmental permission from the EPA, the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the State of Texas, the State of Pennsylvania and local governments with respect to our facilities and operations. Such laws, rules and regulations have been established to promote occupational safety and health standards and certain standards have been established in connection with the handling, transportation and disposal of certain types of medical and solid wastes, including transported medical waste. We believe that we are currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations governing our business, including the permits and authorizations for our incinerator facility. Our estimated annual costs of complying with these laws, regulations and guidelines, including environmental laws, is currently less than $200,000 per year. In the event additional laws, rules or regulations are adopted which affect our business, additional expenditures may be required in order for us to be in compliance with such changing laws, rules and regulations. Furthermore, any material relaxation of any existing regulatory requirements governing the transportation and disposal of medical waste could result in a reduced demand for our products and services and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition. The scope and duration of existing and future regulations affecting the medical and solid waste disposal industry cannot be anticipated and are subject to change.

The inability of the Company to operate its treatment facilities would adversely affect its operations
The Company has two (2) fully-permitted facilities that house our processing and treatment operations. Our business utilizes aprocessing and treatment facility for the proper disposal or treatment of medical waste, used health care materials and unused pharmaceuticals. Our owned facility has both incineration and autoclave technologiesfacilities which, are located in Carthage, Texas. In August 2016, the Company received the Commonwealth ofTexas and in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Waste Management permit for the processing of medical waste at its treatment facility located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The 40,000 square foot facility has beenare currently permitted as both a medical waste treatment facility, using an autoclave,to treat and as a transfer station forprocess 182 tons of medical, pharmaceutical and trace chemotherapyother healthcare related waste of up to 82 tons per day. The facility is designed to cost-effectivelyCompany owns one of these processing and efficiently process medical waste generated bytreatment facilities and leases the Company’s route-based and mailback customers and also doubles as a distribution center of mailback solutions and has been in operation since November 2016.other. Sharps believes it operates and maintains the facilities in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and/or any other regulatory agency requirements involving treatment and disposal and the operation of the incinerator and autoclave facilities. The failure to maintain the permits for the treatment facilityfacilities or unfavorable conditions contained in the permits or new regulations could substantially impair our operations and reduce our revenues. Any disruption in the availability of athe disposal or treatment facility,facilities, whether as a result of action taken by governmental authorities, natural disasters or otherwise, would have an adverse effect on our operations and results of operations.

The handling, transportation and disposal or treatment of regulated waste carries with it the risk of personal injury to employees and others.
Our business requires us to handle materials that may be infectious or hazardous to life and property in other ways. Although our products and procedures are designed to minimize exposure to these materials, the possibility of accidents, leaks, spills and acts of God always exists. Examples of possible exposure to such materials include: truck accidents, damaged or leaking containers, improper storage of regulated waste by customers, improper placement by customers of materials into the waste stream that we are not authorized or able to process, such as certain body parts and tissues; or malfunctioning treatment plant equipment. Human beings, animals or property could be injured, sickened or damaged by exposure to regulated waste. This in turn could result in lawsuits in which we are found liable for such injuries, and substantial damages could be awarded against us. While we carry liability insurance intended to cover these contingencies, particular instances may occur that are not insured against or that are inadequately insured against. An uninsured or underinsured loss could be substantial and could impair our profitability and reduce our liquidity.

Increases in transportation costs may adversely affect our business and results of operation.
We maintain a transportation network and a fleet of transportation vehicles. A significant increase in market prices for trucks, fuel or driver wages could adversely affect our business through higher transportation costs and reduce our operating margins and reported results of operations.

Restrictions in our Credit Agreement could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and value of our securities.
The Credit Agreement containsand the Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 5 “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt” in “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,” contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain beginning with the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2017, a maximum cash flow leverage ratio of no more than 3.53.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. The maximum cash flow leverage ratio decreases to 3.25 to 1.0 on December 31, 2017 and to 3.0 to 1.0 on March 31, 2018. The Credit Agreement, which expires on March 29, 2019,2021 for the working capital portion of the Credit Agreement, and the Loan Agreement also containscontain customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate the Credit Agreementagreements and require immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lenders. The leverage ratio covenant may limit the amount of our borrowing available under the agreements. These covenants could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to have sufficient funding or otherwise to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Agreement may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial, and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. A failure to comply with these provisions could result in a default or an event of default. Upon an event of default, unless waived, the lenders could elect to terminate commitments, cease making further loans, require cash collateralization of letters of credit, cause its loans to become due and payable in full and force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. If the payment of our debt is accelerated, our assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full, and the holders of our stock could experience a partial or total loss of their investment.

An inability to win additional government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our operations and adversely affect our future revenue.

Although the Company has secured some U.S. government business during fiscal year 2017,2020, there can be no assurances that future periods will include similar business. All contracts with, or subcontracts involving, the federal government are terminable or subject to renegotiation by the applicable governmental agency on 30 days’30-day notice at the option of the governmental agency. If a material contract is terminated or renegotiated in a manner that is materially adverse to us, our revenues and future operations could be materially adversely affected.

As a government contractor, we are subject to extensive government regulation, and our failure to comply with applicable regulations could subject us to penalties that may restrict our ability to conduct our business.
business.
Governmental contracts or subcontracts involving governmental facilities are often subject to specific procurement regulations, contract provisions and a variety of other requirements relating to the formation, administration, performance and accounting of these contracts. Many of these contracts include express or implied certifications of compliance with applicable regulations and contractual provisions. If we fail to comply with any regulations, requirements or statutes, our existing governmental contracts or subcontracts involving governmental facilities could be terminated, or we could be suspended from government contracting or subcontracting. If one or more of our governmental contracts or subcontracts are terminated for any reason, or if we are suspended or barred from government work, we could suffer a significant reduction in expected revenues and profits. Furthermore, as a result of our governmental contracts or subcontracts involving governmental facilities, claims for civil or criminal fraud may be brought by the government for violations of these regulations, requirements or statutes.

The possibility of postal work interruptions and restrictions on shipping through the mail would adversely affect the disposal or treatment element of the Company’s business and have an adverse effect on our operations, results of operations and financial condition.

We currently transport (from the patient or user to the Company’s facilityour facilities or subcontracted treatment facilities) the majority of our solution offerings using USPS; therefore,USPS. Therefore, any long-term interruption in USPS delivery services would disrupt the return transportation and treatment element of our business. Postal delivery interruptions are rare. Additionally, since USPS employees are federal employees, such employees may be prohibited from engaging in or continuing a postal work stoppage, although there can be no assurance that such work stoppage can be avoided. As noted above, we entered into an arrangement with UPS whereby UPS transports certain other solution offerings. The ability to ship items, whether through the USPS or UPS, is regulated by the government and related agencies. Any change in regulation restricting the shipping of medical waste, used healthcare materials or unused or expired dispensed pharmaceuticals through these channels would be detrimental to our ability to conduct operations. Any disruption in the transportation of products would have an adverse effect on our operations, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, low trading volume and price volatility.

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “SMED.” The daily trading volumes for our common stock are, and may continue to be, relatively small compared to many other publicly traded securities. Over the past three years, the Company’s common stock has had an average trading volume of approximately 55,00058,000 shares traded per month. It may be difficult for investors to sell shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices, and the price of our common stock may, therefore, be volatile.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, and compliance with such requirements can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing our ability to grow.
We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Act Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would have been if we were privately held.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop, implement and maintain the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.
 If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. An inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent and detect errors or fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent or detect errors or fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with any policies and procedures may deteriorate.
We may be subject to information technology system failures, network disruptions and breaches in data security.

We rely upon sophisticated information technology systems, infrastructure and security procedures and systems to operate our business and ensure the secure storage and transmission of information. The size and complexity of our computer systems make them potentially vulnerable to breakdown, malicious intrusion and random attack. Likewise, computer networks and the internet are, by nature, vulnerable to unauthorized access. An accidental or willful security breach could result in unauthorized access and/or use of sensitive data. Our security measures could be breached by third-party action, computer viruses, accidents or error or misconduct by an employee or contractor. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or to sabotage computer systems change frequently, it may be difficult to detect immediately and we may be unable to implement adequate preventive measures. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through various means, including hacking into our systems or facilities, fraud, trickery or other means of deceiving employees, contractors and temporary staff. We have encountered threats of this type from time to time, none of which have materially impacted our operations or financial results. Although we maintain a system of information security and controls, a party that is able to circumvent our security measures could cause interruption in our operations, damage our computers or those of our users or otherwise damage our reputation. Depending on the severity, any of these events could adversely affect our operations and financial results. In addition, if we were to experience an information security breach, we may be required to expend significant amounts of time and money to remedy, protect against or mitigate the effect of the breach, and we may not be able to remedy the situation in a timely manner, or at all. While we have invested in protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems that could adversely affect our business.

The increase in billings was primarily attributable to increased billings in the Retail ($3.6 million), Professional ($1.32.0 million), Pharmaceutical Manufacturerand Government ($0.9 million), Home Health Care ($0.6 million) and Assisted Living ($0.30.4 million) markets. The increase was partially offset by decreased billings in the GovernmentEnvironmental ($0.20.6 million) and EnvironmentalPharmaceutical Manufacturer ($0.10.3 million) markets. The increase in Retail billings was due mainly to a $2.8 million increase in flu shot-related orders and a $0.8 million increase in MedSafe billings.

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE


As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has implemented some and may take additional precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of its employees, facilitate continued uninterrupted servicing of customers and minimize business disruptions. For example, the following have recently been implemented to address some of the uncertainties related to COVID-19:

The Company has increased its headcount for route-based drivers, plant and operations personnel by 10% as a result of COVID-19 to make sure that its operations and servicing of customers would not be adversely affected by the potential absence of employees due to COVID-19. The cost of this increased headcount which is recorded as cost of sales is about $0.1 million per quarter.
The Company has temporarily increased pay to route-based drivers, plant and operations personnel due to the additional potential risks associated with those functions in light of the COVID-19 environment.
While some areas of the business have seen increased revenue, COVID-19 has caused many of the Company’s customers to temporarily close starting in mid-March 2020. For example, there have been temporary closures of approximately 1,000 customer offices including dental, dermatology and physician practices which equates to almost $0.1 million per month in lost revenue. Most of these offices have now re-opened.
The Company is considered an essential business and could incur elevated costs to maintain uninterrupted essential support to its customers and the overall healthcare industry.

Inventory levels have been increased significantly (approximately 39%) in the current year, which has also precipitated the need for additional warehouse space for the Company’s products. The Company is working to ensure it has adequate products and solutions to address the potential additional needs that could reasonably be expected to follow a pandemic of this magnitude. Whether it be supporting an expected significant increase in seasonal flu immunizations, facilitating the proper collection, transportation and treatment of syringes utilized in the administration of the potential COVID-19 vaccine, or supporting the pick-up and processing of the significantly increased volumes of healthcare waste from the long-term care industry, we are well positioned to take advantage of these growth opportunities.
Given the timing of when the COVID-19 quarantine manifested itself (middle of third quarter) in the U.S., the financial impacts to the Company may have only partially been captured within the results of operations reported to date.

The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on the financial results and business operations of the Company. To date, the Company has not identified any material adverse impact of COVID-19 on its financial position and results of operations.

The Company continues to focus on core markets and solution offerings that fuel growth. Its key markets include healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, home healthcare providers, assisted living/long-term care, retail pharmacies and clinics and the professional market which is comprised of physicians, dentists, surgery centers, veterinary practices and veterinary practices.other healthcare facilities. These markets require cost-effective services for managing medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste.

The Company believes its growth opportunities are supported by the following:

A large professional market that consists of dentists, veterinarians, clinics, physician groups, urgent care facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, labs, dialysis centers and other healthcare facilities. This regulated market consists of small to medium quantity generators of medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste where we can offer a lower cost to service with solutions to match individual facility needs. The Company addresses this market from two directions: (i) field sales which focus on larger-dollar and nationwide opportunities where we can integrate the route-based pickup service along with our mailback solutions to create a comprehensive medical waste management offering and (ii) inside and online sales which focus on the individual or small group professional offices, government agencies, smaller retail pharmacies and clinics and assisted living/long-term care facilities. The Company is able to compete more aggressively in the medium quantity generator market with the addition of route-based services where the mailback may not be as cost effective. The Company’s route-based business provides direct service to areas encompassing over 70% of the U.S. population.

The Company’s route-based business provides direct service to areas encompassing about 155 million people or 48% of the U.S. population.
From July 2015 to July 2016, the Company acquired three route-based pickup service companies, which strengthened the Company's position in the Northeast. Through a combination of acquisition and organic growth, the Company now offers route-based pickup services in a thirty-two (32) state region of the South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast portions of the United States. To facilitate operational efficiencies, the Company has opened transfer stations and offices in strategic locations. The Company directly serves more than 13,750 customer locations with route-based pickup services. With the addition of these route-based pickup regions and the network of medical and hazardous waste service providers servicing the entire U.S., the Company offers customers a blended product portfolio to effectively manage multi-site and multi-sized locations, including those that generate larger quantities of waste. The network has had a significant positive impact on our pipeline of sales opportunities - over 60% of this pipeline is attributable to opportunities providing comprehensive waste management service offerings where both the mailback and pickup service are integrated into the offering.
The changing demographics of the U.S. population – according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2019 Population Estimates and National Projections, the nation's 65-and-older population has grown rapidly since 2010 (34.2% over the past decade), which will increase the need for cost-effective medical waste management solutions, especially in the long-term care and home healthcare markets. With multiple solutions for managing regulated healthcare-related waste, the Company delivers value as a single-source provider with blended mailback and route-based pickup services matched to the waste volumes of each facility.
The shift of healthcare from traditional settings to the retail pharmacy and clinic markets, where the Company focuses on driving increased promotion of the Sharps Recovery System. According to the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC"), 44.9% of U.S. adults received a flu shot, and 32.2% of flu shots for adults were administered in a retail clinic in 2018. Over the flu seasons from 2011 to 2020, the Company saw growth in the retail flu shot related orders in seven years of 10% to 36%, including a 25% increase in 2020, and declines in three years of 13% to 17%.

the volatility, Sharps believes the retail market should continue to contribute to long-term growth for the Company as consumers increasingly use alternative sites, such as retail pharmacies, to obtain flu and other immunizations.

The passage of regulations for ultimate-user medication disposal allows the Company to offer new solutions (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes) that meet the regulations for ultimate-user controlled substances disposal (Schedules II-V) to retail pharmacies. Additionally, with the new regulations, the Company is able to provide the MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery Systems to assisted living and hospice to address a long-standing issue within long-term care.
·The changing demographics of the U.S. population – according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2012 Population Estimates and National Projections, one out of five Americans will be 65 years or older by 2030, which will increase the need for cost-effective medical waste management solutions, especially in the long-term care and home healthcare markets. With multiple solutions for managing regulated healthcare-related waste, the Company delivers value as a single-source provider with blended mailback and route-based pickup services matched to the waste volumes of each facility.
Local, state and federal agencies have growing needs for solutions to manage medical and pharmaceutical waste. The Company’s Sharps Recovery System is ideal for as-needed disposal of sharps and other small quantities of medical waste generated within government buildings, schools and communities. The Company also provides TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes and MedSafe solutions to government agencies in need of proper and regulatory compliant medication disposal. The federal government, state agencies and non-profits are recognizing the need to fund programs that address prevention as it pertains to the opioid crisis. MedSafe and mailback envelopes for proper medication disposal are being funded for prevention programs.

With an increased number of self-injectable medication treatments and local regulations, the Company believes its flagship product, the Sharps Recovery System, continues to offer the best option for proper sharps disposal at an affordable price. The Company delivers comprehensive services to pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell high-dollar, self-injectable medications, which include data management, compliance reporting, fulfillment, proper containment with disposal, branding and conformity with applicable regulations. In addition, the Company provides self-injectors with online and retail purchase options of sharps mailback systems, such as the Sharp Recovery System and Complete Needle Collection & Disposal System, respectively.
·The shift of healthcare from traditional settings to the retail pharmacy and clinic markets, where the Company focuses on driving increased promotion of the Sharps Recovery System. According to the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”), 24% of flu shots for adults were administered in a retail clinic. Over the flu seasons from 2011 to 2014, the growth in the Retail flu business for Sharps was between 24% and 36%. Despite the decrease in Retail flu business for fiscal year 2017 (the 2016 flu season) of 15% due to a mild flu season and the loss of one retail pharmacy customer, Sharps believes the Retail market should continue to contribute to long-term growth for the Company as consumers increasingly use alternative sites, such as retail pharmacies, to obtain flu and other immunizations.
A heightened interest by many commercial companies who are looking to improve workplace safety with proper sharps disposal and unused medication disposal solutions — the Company offers a variety of services to meet these needs, including the Sharps Secure Needle Disposal System, Sharps Recovery System, Spill Kits and TakeAway Medication Recovery System envelopes.

The Company continually develops new solution offerings, such as ultimate-user medication disposal (MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery System), mailback services for DEA registrant expired inventory of controlled substances (TakeAway Medication Recovery System DEA Reverse Distribution for Registrants) and shipback services for collection and recycling of single-use medical devices from surgical centers and other healthcare facilities (TakeAway Recycle System).

Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 75%75.0% of the purchase price of an acquired company and convert to a five-year term note at the time of the borrowing. Borrowings bear interest at the greater of (a) zero percent or (b) the One Month ICE LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR Margin may increase to as high as 3.0% after September 30, 2017 depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of June 30, 20172020 was approximately 3.63%2.79%.

No amounts were outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at June 30, 2017 or2020.
On August 21, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Construction and Term Loan Agreement and a Master Equipment Finance Agreement with its existing commercial bank (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $3.2 million facility, the proceeds of which are to be utilized for expenditures to facilitate future growth at the Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas (the “Texas Treatment Facility”) as follows: (i) $2.0 million for planned improvements and (ii) $1.2 million for equipment. Indebtedness under the prior credit facility asLoan Agreement is secured by the Company’s real estate investment and equipment at the Texas Treatment Facility. Advances under the Loan Agreement mature five years from the Closing Date ("August 21, 2019") with monthly payments beginning in the month after the advancing period ends based on a 20-year amortization for the real estate portion and on a 6-year amortization for the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement. The advancing period extends through October 2020 and August 2020 for the real estate portion and the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement, respectively.

On April 20, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $2.2 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under a promissory note from its existing commercial bank (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP, established as part of the CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable after eight to twenty-four weeks providing that the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels.

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. Some of the uncertainties related to the Company’s operations that are directly related to COVID-19 include, but are not limited to, the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on operations or mandates to provide products or services), impacts on the supply chain, and the effect on customer demand or changes to operations.

the health of the Company’s workforce, and its ability to meet staffing needs in its route-based, treatment and distribution operations and other critical functions are uncertain and is vital to its operations.

The PPP Loan certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. While the Company does have availability under its Credit Agreement, $8.0 million of such availability can only be used for acquisitions and the $6.0 million that is available is in place to support working capital needs, along with current cash on hand. Further, the Company has a limited market capitalization and lack of history of being able to access the capital markets and as a result, the Company believes it meets the certification requirements.

The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The term of the Company’s PPP Loan is two years. The Company is in the process of applying for forgiveness of the PPP Loan via its existing commercial bank under the guidelines provided by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") and the Department of Treasury. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1% and no payments of principal or interest are due during at least the six-month period beginning on the date of the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan is subject to any new guidance and new requirements released by the Department of the Treasury who has indicated that all companies that have received funds in excess of $2.0 million will be subject to a government (SBA) audit to further ensure PPP loans are limited to eligible borrowers in need.

The Company has availability under the Credit Agreement of $11.5$13.0 million ($6.05.9 million for the working capital and $5.5$7.1 million forfor the acquisitions) as of June 30, 2017 which may be limited by its leverage covenant.2020 (used to support working capital needs and is constrained due to the impacts additional borrowings might have on our future covenant compliance).

The Credit Agreement, which expires on March 29, 2019,Loan Agreements also contains customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate the Credit Agreementagreements and require immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lenders. The leverage ratio covenant may limit the amount available under the Credit and Loan Agreements. The Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants under the Credit and Loan Agreements as of June 30, 2020.

The Company utilizes performance bonds to support operations based on certain state requirements. At June 30, 2020, the Company had performance bonds outstanding covering financial assurance up to $1.0 million.
Management believes that the Company’s current cash resources (cash on hand)hand and cash flows from operations) will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months ending August 31, 2018.

Treatment Facility

The Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas is currently permitted to process 100 tons per day. The incinerator at the facility is currently permitted to treat 40 tons per day of municipal solid waste with 10% of this amount identified as applicable to healthcare facility generated medical waste. Approximately six years ago, the Company supplemented the treatment facility’s existing incineration process with an autoclave system and technology capable of treating up to eight tons per day of medical waste at the same facility. Autoclaving is a cost-effective alternative to traditional incineration that treats medical waste with steam at high temperature and pressure to kill pathogens. The autoclave system is utilized alongside the incinerator for day-to-day operations. The autoclave system is not impacted by the EPA amended Clean Air Act (discussed below). We believe that our facility is one of only ten permitted commercial facilities in the United States capable of treating all types of medical waste, used healthcare materials and unused or expired dispensed medications (i.e., both incineration and autoclave capabilities).

The Company also leases 45,480 square feet of space in Pennsylvania, including 40,000 square feet, which the Company utilizes as a fully-permitted facility to house a treatment and distribution facility. The facility is permitted as both a medical waste treatment facility, utilizing an autoclave, and as a transfer station for medical, pharmaceutical and trace chemotherapy waste of up to 82 tons per day.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, net of applicable sales tax, when servicesperformance obligations are provided and from product sales when (i)satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods are shipped or delivered and title and risk of loss passservices to the Company’s customers. Control transfers once a customer (ii)has the price isability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially fixedall of the benefits from, the promised goods or determinableservices. Outbound shipping and (iii) collectability is reasonably assuredhandling activities to customers are considered fulfillment activities with the exception of mailbacks sold as part of the vendor managed inventory ("VMI") program. Shipping and handling are considered separate performance obligations for mailbacks sold under the VMI program. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, which applies to all contracts except for those sales via multiple-deliverable arrangements.route-based pickup services, revenue recognition occurs when there is a transfer of control or completion of service. For performance obligations satisfied over time, which applies to the route-based pickup services, revenue is recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice pursuant to the right to invoice practical expedient. Provisions for certain rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are estimated at the inception of the contract, updated as needed throughout the contract term, and accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants, as well as market conditions, including prices charged by competitors. Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. Service agreements which include a vendor managed inventory program include terms that meet the “bill and hold” criteria and as such are recognized when the order is completed, at which point title has transferred, there are no acceptance provisions and amounts are segregated in

Accordingly, a portion of the return transportation and treatment elements areelement is recognized at the point of sale. Furthermore, the current and long-term portions of amounts historically referred to as deferred revenues (shown as Contract Liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) are determined through regression analysis and historical trends.


Business Combinations: The VMI program includes terms that meet the “bill and hold” criteria and as such are recognized when the order is placed, title has transferred, there are no acceptance provisions and amounts are segregated in the Company’s warehouse for the customer.

The contract asset is related to VMI service agreements within the mailbacks contract type category when the revenue recognition exceeds the amount of consideration the Company includeswas entitled to at the resultspoint in time of operationssatisfying the performance obligation associated with the sale of the businessescompliance and container system. The contract liability is related to the mailbacks and unused medications contract type categories in which cash consideration exceeds the transaction price allocated to completed performance obligations.

The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of acquisitionsdeemed to be recoverable, primarily related to the assets acquiredpayment of sales incentives for contracts in the route-based pickup service category, are capitalized as contract costs and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The Company estimatesincluded in prepaids and records the fair value of purchased intangible assets, which primarily consists of customer relationships, trade-names, and non-competes. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, both tangible and intangible, and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.other current assets.


Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of valuation allowances and development of projected annual effective tax rates requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Under GAAP, theThe Company has historically recorded a valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce ourits deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertaintyrealized. However, as of the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company released the full amount of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on the basis of the Company's reassessment of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. The non-cash benefit to income tax expense resulting from the release of the valuation allowance is approximately $1.7 million.
At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of certaindeferred tax assets. As of the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company achieved a cumulative positive amount of pretax income over a period of three years. Given the Company’s average pretax income for the past three years, adjusted for non-recurring items and for modest increases in new and recurring business, the Company expects to generate income before taxes in future period which will be sufficient to fully utilize all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwardscarryforward balances and available credits. The CARES Act, among other things, accelerates the Company’s ability to recover refundable AMT credits to 2018 and 2019. The Company has recorded the remaining balance of its alternative minimum tax attributes.credits of $0.3 million as a current income tax receivable as of June 30, 2020 which includes $0.1 million due to the CARES Act.


Leases: In February 2016, guidance for leases was issued, which supersedes the lease requirements previously followed by the Company. The new guidance requires balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to assets and liabilities for existing leases as of July 1, 2019. The Company recognized an additional operating lease liability of $4.6 million, with a corresponding right of use (“ROU”) asset of the same amount based on the present value of the payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the
31

Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The impact that the new accounting guidance had on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included the following:

Approximately 50 leases have been identified, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. For these real estate, equipment and vehicle operating leases, we recognized new right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet.
The Company applied the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to (i) contracts containing leases, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. The Company did not adopt the practical expediency surrounding the use of hindsight to determine lease term, termination and purchase options, or in assessing impairment of ROU assets.
The Company also made the accounting policy election for short-term leases, or leases with terms of twelve months or less, therefore the lease payments are recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term with no ROU asset or lease liability recorded.
The Company has elected to exclude non-lease components of a lease arrangement from the ROU asset and lease liability for certain asset classes such as real estate and field equipment leases but includes non-lease components of a lease arrangement in the ROU asset and lease liability for office equipment and automobiles. Non-lease components for field equipment, which include vehicle maintenance costs which the Company estimates based on third party evidence, are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability and are expensed each month.

Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right of Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease asset and liability amounts are measured and recognized based on payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The lease liability for leases expected to be settled in twelve-months or less are classified as current liabilities. The general terms of the Company’s lease agreements require monthly payments. Some of the Company’s leases escalate either by a fixed or variable amount. Certain of the Company’s leases, which provide for variable lease payments based on index-based (i.e., the US Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments over the term of the lease, are measured at the lease rate effective at the commencement of the lease or upon adoption, as applicable. Because the Company does not generally have access to the rate implicit in its leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for measuring the lease liability. At commencement, the operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are the same, with adjustments to the ROU asset for lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate or purchase its ROU assets at the commencement of the lease and on an ongoing basis and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company has determined that one lease arrangement's renewal option to extend lease terms from the original maturity of August 2021 to August 2031 is reasonably certain to be exercised due to the costs associated with relocating the lease to another location (including permitting cost as well as specialized equipment). The Company evaluates lease modifications as they occur and records such as a separate lease or an adjustment to the existing ROU asset and lease liability as appropriate.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Accounts receivable balances are determined to be delinquent when the amount is past due based on the contractual terms with the customer. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the likelihood of not collecting certain accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that the receivable will not be collected and/or when the account has been referred to a third party collection agency. The Company has a history of minimal uncollectible accounts.

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets: Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. The Company generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis using a quantitative approach. The quantitative goodwill impairment test identifies the existence of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The impairment charge recognized is limited to the amount of goodwill present in our single reporting unit. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the amount of any such charge.

The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determined that there was no impairment during the years ended June 30, 2017, 20162020, 2019 and 2015.
26

Fair Value Measurements: The Company employs a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used to measure recurring fair value into three distinct categories based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our methodology for categorizing assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest levels to unobservable inputs, summarized as follows:

·Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities).
·Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining fair value).

We use the cost, income or market valuation approaches to estimate the fair value of our assets and liabilities when insufficient market-observable data is available to support our valuation assumptions. The purchase price allocations relating to the acquisitions completed during the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 utilized level 3 inputs.

Table of Contents
In May 2014,March 2020, guidance for revenue recognitionapplying optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting was issued. It is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for interim periods beginning as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There has been no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as none of its arrangements have been modified as of June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate the standard as well as additional changes, modifications or interpretations which may impact the Company.

In June 2016, guidance for credit losses of financial instruments was issued, which supersedesrequires entities to measure credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of the revenue recognition requirements currently followed by the Company. The new guidance provides for a single five-step model to be applied in determining the amount and timing of the recognition of revenue related to contracts with customers. The new standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. In March 2016, guidance for revenue from contracts with customers regarding principal versus agent considerations was issued which modified examples to assist in the application of the guidance. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. The guidance isare effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 20172022 (effective July 1, 20182023 for the Company)., including interim periods within the reporting period, and early application is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact thatof the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as well as evaluating the available transition methods. The Company will continue to evaluate the standard as well as additional changes, modifications or interpretations which may impact the Company.


In July 2015, guidance for inventory measurement was issued, which supersedes the policy currently followed by the Company. The new guidance requires the Company to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (effective July 1, 2017 for the Company) including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
In February 2016, guidance for leases was issued, which requires balance sheet recognition for rights and obligations of all leases with terms in excess of twelve months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective July 1, 2019 for the Company), including interim periods within the reporting period, and early application is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, new guidance for stock-based compensation was issued, which simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation related to income taxes and balance sheet and cash flow classifications. In addition, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (effective July 1, 2017 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, guidance for goodwill was issued which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which the Company’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective July 1, 2020 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, it may impact the impairment recognized in future periods.
27

In September 2015, guidance for business combinations was issued, which simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments.  The new guidance eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments following a business combination and requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified.  The provisions of the new guidance were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (effective July 1, 2016 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period.  The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, it may impact the reporting of future acquisitions if and when they occur.

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” ("Disclosure Controls") as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”)Controls as of June 30, 20172020 pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e)13a-15(b) and 15d-15(e)15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the Disclosure Controls, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management was required to apply judgement in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this Evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of June 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Controls

over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017,2020, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control system over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

33

Table of Contents
The internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
28

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017.2020. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the assessment, the Company’s management concluded that, as of June 30, 2017,2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.criteria.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014 and as subsequently amended, guidance for revenue recognition was issued which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements previously followed by the Company. The guidance provides for a single five-step model to be applied in determining the amount and timing of the recognition of revenue related to contracts with customers. The standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which involves retrospectively adopting the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment for all uncompleted contracts at July 1, 2018. This cumulative effect was $0.3 million which decreased accumulated deficit (and increased stockholders' equity) and increased contract assets by $0.3 million. The impact that the accounting guidance had on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included the following:

The transportation and treatment performance obligations related to the mail back and unused medication solutions, which were historically accounted for as separate performance obligations, will be accounted for as a single performance obligation under the revenue recognition guidance. The impact of this was not material.
Certain costs associated with obtaining long-term contracts with customers will be capitalized and amortized over the expected economic life of the contract in future periods. The impact of this was not material.
The guidance changed the timing of revenue recognition on certain of the Company’s vendor managed inventory contracts. This constituted a material portion of the cumulative effect noted above as under the guidance, revenue recognition is no longer limited to the amounts that may be billed to the customer at the point in time in which performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company made a number of practical expedient elections related to the accounting guidance, including: (i) right to invoice practical expedient that allows revenue for route-based pickup services to be recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice over time; (ii) sales and use taxes have been excluded from the transaction price; (iii) for incremental costs to obtain a contract that would be recognized over one year or less, the Company expenses those costs as incurred; and (iv) at the implementation date, guidance was applied only to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application.

The impact of adopting the accounting guidance on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2019 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points (Sharps Recovery System and various other solutions like the MedSafe and TakeAway Medication Recovery Systems referred to as “Mailbacks” and Sharps Pump and Asset Return Systems, referred to as “Pump Returns”“mailbacks” or "unused medications") and can consist of up to three separate elements,two performance obligations, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, and (2) return transportation and (3) treatment service.

In accordance For mailbacks that are part of the VMI program, there is an additional element, or unit of measure, for outbound transportation. For contracts with the relative selling price methodology,multiple performance obligations, an estimated stand-alone selling price is determined for all deliverables that qualify for separate units of accounting.performance obligations. The actual consideration received in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is then allocated to the unitsperformance obligations based on their relative salesstand-alone selling price. The selling price for theperformance obligations for transportation revenue and the treatment revenue utilizes third party evidence. The Company estimates the selling price of the compliance and container system based on the product and services provided, including compliance with local, state and federal laws, adherence to stringent manufacturing and testing requirements, safety to the patient and the community as well as storage and containment capabilities.expected cost plus a margin.

The allocated transaction price for the return transportation and assumes risk of ownership. Transportationtreatment revenue is recognized when the customer returns the compliance and container system and the container has been received at the Company’s owned or contracted facilities. The compliance and container system is mailed or delivered by an alternative logistics provider to the Company’s owned or contracted facilities. Treatment revenue is recognized uponfacilities at which point the destruction or conversion and proof of receipt and treatment having beenare performed on the container. SinceConsideration received and allocated to the transportation element and the treatment elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the compliance and container, transportation and treatment revenueperformance obligation is deferredrecorded as a contract liability until the services are performed. The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends. Furthermore, throughThrough regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all compliance and container systems sold may not be returned. Accordingly, a portion of the return transportation and treatment elements areelement is recognized at the point of sale. Furthermore, the current and long-term portions of amounts historically referred to as deferred revenues (shown as Contract Liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) are determined through regression analysis and historical trends.


Business Combinations: The VMI program includes terms that meet the “bill and hold” criteria and as such are recognized when the order is placed, title has transferred, there are no acceptance provisions and amounts are segregated in the Company’s warehouse for the customer. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company includesrecorded billings from inventory builds that are held in vendor managed inventory under these service agreements of $3.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of both June 30, 2020 and 2019, $2.8 million of solutions sold through that date were held in vendor managed inventory pending fulfillment or shipment to patients of pharmaceutical manufacturers who offer these solutions to patients in an ongoing patient support program.

The contract asset is related to VMI service agreements within the resultsmailbacks contract type category when the revenue recognition exceeds the amount of operationsconsideration the Company was entitled to at the point in time of satisfying the performance obligation associated with the sale of the businessescompliance and container system. The contract liability is related to the mailbacks and unused medications contract type categories in which cash consideration exceeds the transaction price allocated to completed performance obligations. The estimated timing of recognition of amounts included at June 30, 2020 are as follows: for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 - contract asset of $0.2 million and contract liability of $3.3 million and for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 - contract liability of $0.7 million. Incremental costs to obtain contracts that are acquireddeemed to be recoverable, primarily related to the payment of sales incentives for contracts in the route-based pickup service category, are capitalized as contract costs and included in prepaids and other current assets in the amount of $0.1 million as of the respective datesboth June 30, 2020 and 2019. The amortization of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair valuecapitalized sales incentives, which is included in selling, general and administrative expense, totaled less than $0.1 million for each of the purchase price of acquisitions to the assets acquiredyears ended June 30, 2020 and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, both tangible and intangible, and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.2019.


Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018
tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertainty of the realization of certain federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.


The income tax provision reflects the full benefit of all positions that have been taken in the Company’s income tax returns, except to the extent that such positions are uncertain and fall below the recognition requirements. In the event that the Company determines that a tax position meets the uncertainty criteria, an additional liability or benefit will result. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit requires management to make significant assumptions about the expected outcomes of certain tax positions included in filed or yet to be filed tax returns. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous state tax jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Tax return filings which are subject to review by federal and state tax authorities by jurisdiction are as follows:

None of the Company’s federal or state tax returns are currently under examination. The Company records income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, as a component of the provision for income tax expense. However, there were no such amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in 2017,the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Leases: In February 2016, guidance for leases was issued, which supersedes the lease requirements previously followed by the Company. The new guidance requires balance sheet recognition of lease assets and 2015.lease liabilities for all leases. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to assets and liabilities for existing leases as of July 1, 2019. The Company recognized an additional operating lease liability of $4.6 million, with a corresponding right of use (“ROU”) asset of the same amount based on the present value of the payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The impact that the new accounting guidance had on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included the following:

Approximately 50 leases have been identified, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. For these real estate, equipment and vehicle operating leases, we recognized new right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet.
The Company applied the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to (i) contracts containing leases, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. The Company did not adopt the practical expediency surrounding the use of hindsight to determine lease term, termination and purchase options, or in assessing impairment of ROU assets.
The Company also made the accounting policy election for short-term leases, or leases with terms of twelve months or less, therefore the lease payments are recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term with no ROU asset or lease liability recorded.
The Company has elected to exclude non-lease components of a lease arrangement from the ROU asset and lease liability for certain asset classes such as real estate and field equipment leases but includes non-lease components of a lease arrangement in the ROU asset and lease liability for office equipment and automobiles. Non-lease components for field equipment, which include vehicle maintenance costs which the Company estimates based on third party evidence, are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability and are expensed each month.

Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right of Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease asset and liability amounts are measured and recognized based on payment amounts the Company expects to make over the expected term of the underlying leases, including renewal periods the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The lease liability for leases expected to be settled in twelve-months or less are classified as current liabilities. The general terms of the Company’s lease agreements require monthly payments. Some of the Company’s leases escalate either by a fixed or variable amount. Certain of the Company’s leases, which provide for variable lease payments based on index-based (i.e., the US Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments over the term of the lease, are measured at the lease rate effective at the commencement of the lease or upon adoption, as applicable. Because the Company

does not generally have access to the rate implicit in its leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for measuring the lease liability. At commencement, the operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are the same, with adjustments to the ROU asset for lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate or purchase its ROU assets at the commencement of the lease and on an ongoing basis and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company has determined that one lease arrangement's renewal option to extend lease terms from the original maturity of August 2021 to August 2031 is reasonably certain to be exercised due to the costs associated with relocating the lease to another location (including permitting cost as well as specialized equipment). The Company evaluates lease modifications as they occur and records such as a separate lease or an adjustment to the existing ROU asset and lease liability as appropriate.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Accounts receivable balances are determined to be delinquent when the amount is past due based on the contractual terms with the customer. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the likelihood of not collecting certain accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that the receivable will not be collected and/or when the account has been referred to a third-party collection agency. The Company has a history of minimal uncollectible accounts. See rollforward of allowance activity below:

Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation cost for options and restricted stock awarded to employees and directors is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Total stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 20162020, 2019 and 20152018 are as follows:

The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk free interest rate over the option’s expected term and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. The risk free interest rate is derived using the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at date of grant. Volatility, expected life and dividend yield are based on historical experience and activity.

The Company considers an estimated forfeiture rate for stock options based on historical experience and the anticipated forfeiture rates during the future contract life.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains funds in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed the limit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The risk of loss attributable to these uninsured balances is mitigated by depositing funds only in high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Inventory: Inventory consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels and other causes. At June 30, 2017, total inventory was $4.1 million of which $2.8 million was finished goods, and $1.3 million was raw materials. At June 30, 2016, total inventory was $3.9 million of which $2.5 million was finished goods, and $1.4 million was raw materials. There were no write-downs of inventory for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2015. Total write-downs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 were $17,000 and were included in cost of goods sold.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment, including third party software and implementation costs, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions, improvements and renewals significantly adding to the asset value or extending the life of the asset are capitalized. Ordinary maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the physical or economic life of the property or equipment, are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations for the period.

Computer and software development costs, which include costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, all programming, implementation and costs incurred with developing internal-use software, are capitalized during the development project stage. External direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software are capitalized.

The Company expenses costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software during the preliminary project stage. Training and maintenance costs associated with system changes or internal-use software are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the costs of data cleansing, reconciliation, balancing of old data to the new system, creation of new/additional data and data conversion costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets:Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. The Company generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis using a quantitative approach. The quantitative goodwill impairment test identifies the existence of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The impairment charge recognized is limited to the amount of goodwill present in our single reporting unit. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the amount of any such charge.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company evaluates the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible or other assets if facts and circumstances indicate that any of those assets might be impaired. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company considers the fair value of all financial instruments, including cash, and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable to approximate their carrying values at year-end due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates fair value due to the market rates of interest. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap related to a portion of its long-term debt is included in other long-term liabilities in the amount of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020.

Fair Value Measurements: The Company employs a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used to measure recurring fair value into three distinct categories based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. OurThe methodology for categorizing assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest levels to unobservable inputs, summarized as follows:

Segment Reporting: The Company operates in a single segment, focusing on developing cost-effective management solutions for medical waste and unused dispensed medications generated by small and medium quantity generators.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company uses estimates to determine many reported amounts, including but not limited to allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and valuation allowances, stock-based compensation, fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, selling price used in multiple-deliverable arrangements and return rates used to estimate the percentage of container systems sold that will not be returned. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Business Combinations: The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that are acquired as of the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The Company estimates and records the fair value of purchased intangible assets, which primarily consists of customer relationships, trade-names, and non-competes. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, both tangible and intangible, and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In May 2014,March 2020, guidance for revenue recognitionapplying optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting was issued. It is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for interim periods beginning as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There has been no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as none of its arrangements have been modified as of June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate the standard as well as additional changes, modifications or interpretations which may impact the Company.

In June 2016, guidance for credit losses of financial instruments was issued, which supersedesrequires entities to measure credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of the revenue recognition requirements currently followed by the Company. The new guidance provides for a single five-step model to be applied in determining the amount and timing of the recognition of revenue related to contracts with customers. The new standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. In March 2016, guidance for revenue from contracts with customers regarding principal versus agent considerations was issued which modified examples to assist in the application of the guidance. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. The guidance isare effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 20172022 (effective July 1, 20182023 for the Company)., including interim periods within the reporting period, and early application is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact thatof the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as well as evaluating the available transition methods. The Company will continue to evaluate the standard as well as additional changes, modifications or interpretations which may impact the Company.


In July 2015, guidance for inventory measurement was issued, which supersedes the policy currently followed by the Company. The new guidance requires the Company to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (effective July 1, 2017 for the Company) including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, guidance for leases was issued, which requires balance sheet recognition for rights and obligations of all leases with terms in excess of twelve months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective July 1, 2019 for the Company), including interim periods within the reporting period, and early application is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, new guidance for stock-based compensation was issued, which simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation related to income taxes and balance sheet and cash flow classifications. In addition, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (effective July 1, 2017 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, guidance for goodwill was issued which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which the Company’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective July 1, 2020 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2017 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, it may impact the impairment recognized in future periods.

In September 2015, guidance for business combinations was issued, which simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments.  The new guidance eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments following a business combination and requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified.  The provisions of the new guidance were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (effective July 1, 2016 for the Company) including interim periods within the reporting period.  The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2016 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, it may impact the reporting of future acquisitions if and when they occur.

The statutory rate for the year ended June 30, 2018 is a blended rate which was calculated based on the Company's fiscal year and the date that the tax rate changes were effective.
The Company has historically recorded a valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s netits deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertaintyrealized. However, as of the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company released the full amount of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on the basis of the Company's reassessment of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. The non-cash benefit to income tax expense resulting from the release of the valuation allowance is approximately $1.7 million.

At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of certaindeferred tax assets. As of the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company achieved a cumulative positive amount of pretax income over a period of three years. Given the Company’s average pretax income for the past three years, adjusted for non-recurring items and for modest increases in new and recurring business, the Company expects to generate income before taxes in future periods which will be sufficient to fully utilize all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwardscarryforward balances and other tax attributes. The establishment of valuation allowances and development of projected annual effective tax rates requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.available credits.

Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 75% of the purchase price of an acquired company and convert to a five-yearfive-year term note at the time of the borrowing. Borrowings bear interest at the greater of (a) zero0 percent or (b) the One Month ICE LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR Margin may increase to as high as 3.0% after September 30, 2017 depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of June 30, 2017 2020 was approximately 3.63%2.79%. The Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility.
On August 21, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Construction and Term Loan Agreement and a Master Equipment Finance Agreement with its existing commercial bank (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $3.2 million facility, the proceeds of which are to be utilized for expenditures to facilitate future growth at the Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas (the “Texas Treatment Facility”) as follows: (i) $2.0 million for planned improvements and (ii) $1.2 million for equipment. Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is secured by the Company’s real estate investment and equipment at the Texas Treatment Facility. Advances under the Loan Agreement mature five years from the Closing Date ("August 21, 2019") with monthly payments beginning in the month after the advancing period ends based on a 20-year amortization for the real estate portion and on a 6-year amortization for the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement. The advancing period extends through October 2020 and August 2020 for the real estate portion and the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement, respectively. Borrowings during the advancing period for the real estate portion and for the entire term of the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement bear interest computed at the One Month ICE LIBOR, plus two-hundred and fifty (250) basis points which was a rate of 2.79% on June 30, 2020. The Company has entered into a forward rate lock to fix the rate on the real estate portion of the Loan Agreement at the expiration of the advancing period at 4.15%.
On April 20, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $2.2 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under a promissory note from its existing commercial bank (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP, established as part of the CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable after eight to twenty-four weeks providing that the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels.
The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. Some of the uncertainties related to the Company’s operations that are directly related to COVID-19 include, but are not limited to, the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on operations or mandates to provide products or services), impacts on the supply chain, and the effect on customer demand or changes to operations. In addition, the health of the Company’s workforce, and its ability to meet staffing needs in its route-based, treatment and distribution operations and other critical functions are uncertain and is vital to its operations.

The PPP Loan certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. While the Company does have availability under its Credit Agreement, $8.0 million of such availability can only be used for acquisitions and the $6.0 million that is available is in place to support working capital needs, along with current cash on hand. Further, the Company has a limited market capitalization and lack of history of being able to access the capital markets and as a result, the Company believes it meets the certification requirements.

The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The term of the Company’s PPP Loan is two years. The Company is in the process of applying for forgiveness of the PPP Loan via its existing commercial bank under the guidelines provided by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") and the Department of Treasury. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1% and no payments of principal or interest are due during at least the six-month period beginning on the date of the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan is subject to any new guidance and new requirements released by the Department of the Treasury who has indicated that all companies that have received funds in excess of $2.0 million will be subject to a government (SBA) audit to further ensure PPP loans are limited to eligible borrowers in need.

The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for Alpha Bio/Med Services and Bio-Team Mobile are not presented because the pro forma effects, individually or in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The goodwill recorded for the Alpha Bio/Med Services, Bio-Team Mobile, and Citiwaste acquisitions will be deductible for income taxes.

The goodwill recognized for the acquisitions since July 1, 2015 is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of our products and services with those acquisitions, cost synergies resulting from the consolidation or elimination of certain functions, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce of each acquisition.

Citiwaste’s financial results since the date of the acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial results for the year ended June 30, 2017. The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma financial information as if the Citiwaste acquisition occurred on July 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per-share data):
