     Sharps Compliance Corp. Announces Acceleration of Stock Option Vesting


    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2006--Sharps Compliance Corp.
and subsidiaries (OTCBB:SCOM) ("Sharps" or the "Company"), leading
providers of cost-effective medical waste disposal solutions for
industry and consumers, today announced that its Board of Directors
has approved the accelerated vesting of unvested stock options
previously awarded to employees, officers, and directors, as of June
30, 2006, in light of new accounting regulations that will take effect
on July 1, 2006. The Board took the action with the belief that it is
in the best interest of stockholders, as it will reduce the Company's
reported compensation expense in future periods.
    As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase
757,696 shares of Sharps Compliance Corp. common stock, which would
otherwise have vested primarily over the next one to two years, will
become exercisable immediately. Based upon the closing stock price for
the Company's common stock of $0.91 per share on June 20, 2006,
eighty-four percent (84%), or 637,696, of the total accelerated common
stock options are "in-the-money" and have exercise prices ranging from
$0.52 to $0.86 per share. Sixteen percent (16%), or 120,000, of the
total accelerated stock options are "under water" or
"out-of-the-money" and have exercise prices ranging from $0.95 to
$1.15 per share. Of the accelerated options, 328,408 options are held
by executive officers (of which 228,408 are "in-the-money"), 246,774
options are held by non-employee directors (all of which are
"in-the-money"), and 182,514 options are held by other employees (of
which 162,514 are "in-the-money"). In addition to the above, the
vesting of annual grants to non-employee directors totaling 260,000
stock options (scheduled to be granted on June 28, 2006) will also be
accelerated.
    Under the recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), the Company
would be required to apply the expense recognition provisions
beginning July 1, 2006. As a result of the acceleration, the Company
expects to eliminate anticipated stock option expense of approximately
$230,000 in fiscal year 2007, $130,000 in fiscal year 2008, and
$55,000 in fiscal year 2009 on a pre-tax basis, based upon the
Company's value calculations using the Black-Scholes methodology. The
acceleration is expected to generate non-cash compensation expense of
approximately $18,000 in the current quarter ending June 30, 2006.
