SHARPS COMPLIANCE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

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

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and stockholders’ equity for the year ended June 30, 2013 and three months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped or delivered, and title and risk of loss pass to the customer except for those sales via multiple-deliverable arrangements. Provisions for certain rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are 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.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with guidance on revenue recognition of multiple-deliverable arrangements. Under this guidance, certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points (Sharps Recovery System™ (formerly the SharpsDisposal by Mail Systems^®) and various TakeAway Environmental Return Systems™ referred to as “Mailbacks” and Sharps^® Pump and Asset Return Boxes, referred to as “Pump Returns”) and can consist of up to three separate elements, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, (2) return transportation and (3) treatment service.

In accordance with the relative selling price methodology, an estimated selling price is determined for all deliverables that qualify for separate units of accounting. The actual consideration received in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is then allocated to the units based on their relative sales price. The selling price for the 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.

Revenue for the sale of the compliance and container is recognized upon delivery to the customer, at which time the customer takes title and assumes risk of ownership. Transportation 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 upon the destruction or conversion and proof of receipt and treatment having been performed on the container. Since the transportation element and the treatment elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the compliance and container, transportation and treatment revenue is deferred until the services are performed. The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends. Furthermore, through regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all compliance and container systems sold may not be returned. Accordingly, a portion of the transportation and treatment elements are recognized at the point of sale.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes: The liability method is used in accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, 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.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from our 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 expected uncollectibility of 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.

NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that will impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

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 generally accepted accounting principles, the valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s net deferred tax asset 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 assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. The Company’s net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved by a tax valuation allowance.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 9.6% and less than 1%, respectively, reflecting estimated state income taxes. The Company’s tax expense associated with taxable income during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was offset by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s tax benefit associated with taxable losses during the year ended June 30, 2013 was offset by a deferred tax valuation allowance of $0.9 million.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Effective April 30, 2013, the Company executed a Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, National Association (the “Bank”) which extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement executed on July 15, 2010 (“Prior Agreement”) from July 15, 2014 to July 15, 2015 and reduced the line from $5 million to $200,000 due to its lack of need for borrowings. The Company’s Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank provides for a two-year, cash-collateralized $200,000 line of credit facility, the proceeds of which may be utilized for: (i) working capital, (ii) capital expenditures and (iii) letters of credit (up to $200,000). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $110 thousand in letters of credit outstanding. The Company has no borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement as a result of its strong cash position and lack of need for borrowings.

Borrowings bear interest at either (i) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points or (ii) at the Company’s option, a fixed rate for a 30, 60, or 90 day period set at the option date’s LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points. Any outstanding revolving loans, and accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable on July 15, 2015, the maturity date set under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company pays a fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused amount of the line of credit. Sharps estimates that the interest rate applicable to the borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement would be approximately 2.8% as of September 30, 2013.

The Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default that remains uncured after any applicable cure period, the lender’s commitment to make further loans may terminate and the Company may be required to make immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lender.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation cost 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). Reductions in taxes payable resulting from tax deductions that exceed the recognized tax benefit associated with compensation expense (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows and as an increase to additional paid in capital. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation amounts are as follows (in thousands):

	Three-Months Ended
	September 30,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)

Stock-based compensation expense included in:

Cost of revenue	$	6	$	1
General and administrative expense		75		172
Total	$	81	$	173

For the year ended June 30, 2013 and for the three months ended September 30, 2013, excess tax benefits have been eliminated by the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are measured at two levels: basic per share and diluted per share. Basic per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to common stock options and restricted stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the outstanding common stock options are considered dilutive using the treasury stock method. Vested restricted shares are included in basic common shares outstanding, and unvested restricted shares are included in the diluted common shares outstanding, if the effect is dilutive.

The following information is necessary to calculate earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per-share data):

	Three-Months Ended
	September 30,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)

*Represents the net impact of the revenue recognition adjustment required to arrive at reported generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) revenue. Customer billings include all invoiced amounts associated with products shipped during the period reported. GAAP revenue includes customer billings as well as numerous adjustments necessary to reflect, (i) the deferral of a portion of current period sales and (ii) recognition of certain revenue associated with products returned for treatment and destruction. The difference between customer billings and GAAP revenue is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as deferred revenue. See Note 3 “Revenue Recognition” in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.

This quarter-to-date table contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with GAAP, including customer billings information. The Company believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties as customer billings represents all invoiced amounts associated with products shipped during the period reported. Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included above.

The increase in billings was primarily attributable to increased billings in the Retail ($0.7 million), Professional ($0.5 million) and Home Health Care ($0.2 million) markets. The increase in billings was partially offset by decreased billings in the Core Government ($0.2 million) market. The increase in Retail market billings is primarily due to the timing of orders related to the traditional flu shot season. The increase in Professional market billings is a result of the Company’s targeted telemarketing initiatives and promotional activities to educate doctors, dentists, and veterinarians of the significant cost advantage and convenience of the Company’s Sharps^® Recovery mailback system when compared with the traditional pick-up service for the small quantity generator sector. In addition, the Professional market was positively impacted by joint marketing alliance-related business during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in Home Health Care market billings is due to the timing of distributor purchases. The decrease in Core Government billings was due to a $0.2 million stocking order placed by the United States Department of Defense in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Revenue was negatively impacted by a change in the GAAP adjustment primarily due to a higher level of billings in the current period compared to the prior periods.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $3.9 million was 62.9% of revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $3.6 million was 69.9% of revenues. The higher gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of 37.1% (versus 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012) was due to the leverage gained from higher revenue.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $2.1 million.

The Company generated operating income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The operating margin was 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to (12.4%) for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in operating income is a result of higher billings in the three months ended September 30, 2013 along with an improved gross margin as a result of greater operating leverage gained from higher revenue (discussed above).

The Company generated income before income taxes of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus a loss before tax of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in the income before income tax is a result of a higher operating income (discussed above).

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 9.6% and less than 1%, respectively, reflecting estimated state income taxes. The Company’s net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved by a tax valuation allowance. The Company’s tax expense associated with taxable income during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was offset by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s tax benefit associated with taxable losses during the year ended June 30, 2013 was offset by a deferred tax valuation allowance of $0.9 million.

The Company generated net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The net income is a result of a higher operating income (discussed above).

The Company reported diluted income per share of $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus diluted loss per share of ($0.04) for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The improvement in diluted earnings per share is a result of net income in the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus net loss in the prior year (discussed above).

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE

The Company continues to take advantage of the many opportunities in the markets served as professional offices, retail pharmacies and clinics, communities, assisted living and long-term care facilities, home healthcare companies, consumers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, government agencies, health care facilities, individual self-injectors and commercial organizations become more aware of alternatives to the traditional methods of management of medical sharps waste, used healthcare materials and unused dispensed medications.

The Company’s growth strategies are focused on the Retail, Pharmaceutical, Professional, Assisted Living, Home Health Care and Core Government markets. The Company believes its growth opportunities are supported by:

An increase in the number of used needles improperly disposed of outside the large healthcare setting and into the solid waste system to 7.8 billion each year (tripled volume over the past ten years) and an increase in the number of self-injectors in the country to 13.5 million over the same period;

An estimated 800,000 doctors, dentists, veterinarians, clinics, tattoo parlors and other businesses in the country that generate smaller quantities of medical waste, including used syringes to whom we offer a lower cost alternative to the traditional pick-up service. The Company addresses this market from two directions: (i) field sales which focuses on larger dollar and nation-wide opportunities where we can utilize the JMA with Daniels Sharpsmart to integrate the route-based pick-up 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;

An estimated 40% of the four billion dispensed medication prescriptions which go unused every year in the United States generating an estimated 200 million pounds of unused medication waste;

The pace of regulation of sharps and unused dispensed medications disposal which is gaining momentum at both the state and federal level - as of June 30, 2013, approximately 46 percent of U.S. citizens live in states that have enacted legislation or strict guidelines mandating the proper disposal of home generated used syringes while 67 percent live in states that have enacted or proposed legislation mandating the proper disposal of home generated dispensed unused medications. Further, since 2009, the federal government, nine states and several counties have introduced legislation requiring manufacturer responsibility for consumer generated unused medications. State regulatory agencies are also addressing this issue within the regulated industry. Multiple states now require healthcare providers to avoid sewer and trash disposal of non-hazardous unused medications within their facilities. 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 addition, states are beginning to more closely scrutinize generators returning through reverse distribution unused medications that are actually waste pharmaceuticals and should be disposed of as such;

The number of U.S. retail clinics is projected to double between 2011 and 2015, expecting business to increase 20%-25% per year, driven by the increasing demand of newly insured patients under healthcare reform as well as patients looking for more convenient care. The two leading retail pharmacies in the country are emphasizing their efforts to grow their capability as a low cost provider of health care services for non-chronic conditions. The number of pharmacists nationwide trained to deliver vaccines has quadrupled since 2007. Vaccines offered in retail clinics include season flu programs as well as year round programs for pneumococcus, shingles, pediatric immunizations, HPV and international travel;

The changing demographics of the U.S. population - 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 home healthcare and assisted living markets;

The change in delivery of healthcare (more health care being administered in an alternate site) as well as uncertainty created by the current state of healthcare – facts which are driving more healthcare providers to increase efficiencies and reduce costs;

The Company’s JMA with Daniels Sharpsmart, announced in May 2012, to serve the entire U.S. medical waste market, offering clients a blended product portfolio to effectively target prospective customers with multi-site and multi-sized locations including those that generate larger quantities of medical waste. The JMA has had a significant positive impact on our pipeline of sales opportunities – over 60% of this pipeline is attributable to alliance-type opportunities providing comprehensive medical waste management service offerings where both the mailback and pick-up service are integrated into the offering;

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.2 million to $15.3 million at September 30, 2013 from $15.5 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets of $0.3 million offset by operating income generated for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Accounts receivable increased by $1.1 million to $3.7 million at September 30, 2013 from $2.6 million at June 30, 2013. The increase is due to timing of billings and collections.

Inventory decreased by $0.1 million to $1.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $1.6 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease in inventory is due to timing of sales and adjustment of inventory levels to facilitate customer orders.

Accounts payable increased by $0.6 million to $1.7 million at September 30, 2013 from $1.1 million at June 30, 2013. The increase is the result of the timing of payments.

Current deferred revenue increased by $0.2 million to $1.6 million at September 30, 2013 from $1.4 million at June 30, 2013. The increase is due to higher sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the previous period.

Working capital increased $0.1 million to $16.7 million at September 30, 2013 from $16.6 million at June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to an increase to accounts receivable, accounts payable and deferred revenue offset by reductions in cash and cash equivalents and inventory (discussed above).

Property, plant and equipment was $4.4 million at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. Depreciation expense was $0.3 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $0.2 million. The capital expenditures are attributable primarily to treatment facility improvements of $0.2 million.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $0.1 million to $21.2 million at September 30, 2013 from $21.1 million at June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily attributable to net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $0.1 million.

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the year-ended June 30, 2013.

Credit Facility

Borrowings bear interest at either (i) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points or (ii) at the Company’s option, a fixed rate for a 30, 60, or 90 day period set at the option date’s LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points. Any outstanding revolving loans, and accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable on July 15, 2015, the maturity date set under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company pays a fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused amount of the line of credit. We estimate that the interest rate applicable to the borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement would be approximately 2.8% as of September 30, 2013.
