COMPANY OVERVIEW

Sharps Compliance Corp. is a leading national healthcare waste management provider specializing in regulated waste streams 
including  medical,  pharmaceutical  and  hazardous.  Our  services  facilitate  the  safe  and  proper  collection,  transportation  and 
environmentally-responsible treatment of regulated waste from customers in multiple healthcare-related markets. The markets 
we manage are small to medium-size generators of healthcare waste including professional offices (ambulatory surgical centers, 
physician  groups,  dentists  and  veterinarians),  assisted  living  and  long-term  care  facilities,  government  agencies,  home  health 
care, retail clinics and immunizing pharmacies. Additionally, our mailback solutions are positioned to manage waste generated 
in  the  home  setting  such  as  sharps,  lancets  and  ultimate-user  medications  which  generates  business  relationships  with 
pharmaceutical manufacturers and other markets to provide safe and proper disposal. Lastly, we maintain a strong distribution 
network for the sale of our solutions within the aforementioned markets.

We  assist  our  customers  in  determining  solutions  that  best  fit  their  needs  for  the  collection,  transportation  and  treatment  of 
regulated medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste. Our differentiated approach provides our customers the flexibility to 
transport waste via direct route-based services, the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) or common carrier dependent upon 
quantity of waste generated, cost savings and facility needs. Our comprehensive services approach includes a single point of 
contact, consolidated billing, integrated manifest and proof of destruction repository. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive 
tracking and reporting tools that enable our customers to meet complex medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste disposal 
and compliance requirements. We believe the fully-integrated nature of our operations is a key factor leading to our success and 
continued recurring revenue growth.

Table of Contents

Our  flagship  products  are  the  Sharps  Recovery  System™  and  MedSafe®  Medication  Disposal  System.  These  two  product 
offerings  account  for  over  50%  of  company  revenues.  The  Sharps  Recovery  System  is  a  comprehensive  medical  waste 
management  mailback  solution  used  in  all  markets  due  to  its  cost-effective  nature  and  nationwide  availability.  The  MedSafe 
solution  meets  the  immediate  needs  of  an  increasing  community  risk  associated  with  unused,  ultimate-user,  medications. 
Developed in accordance with the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) implementation of the Secure and Responsible 
Drug  Disposal  Act  of  2010  (the  “Act”),  MedSafe  is  a  superior  solution  used  in  both  private  and  public  sectors  to  properly 
remove medications from communities and aid in the prevention of drug abuse. 

Over the past few years, the Company has 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, the 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 
chemotherapy and other 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 TakeAway Recycle System is a much-needed complement to the single-use device market.  

Our  dually  permitted  trucks  allow  our  hazardous  waste  direct  pickup  service  to  align  with  our  medical  waste  so  that  we  can 
fully  service  all  our  customers.  Most  healthcare  professionals  have  hazardous  waste  in  addition  to  medical  waste.  By  also 
transporting hazardous waste, we have a 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 182 full-time employees and 2 part-time 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.  The  Carthage  facility  offers  both  steam  sterilization  in  an  autoclave  and  high  heat  incineration  for  the  proper 
treatment  of  regulated  medical  waste  and  non-hazardous  pharmaceuticals.  The  autoclave  system  is  utilized  alongside  the 
incinerator  for  day-to-day  operations.  The  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.

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 
doubles as a distribution center of mailback solutions. 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

Table of Contents

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 precautions to 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.

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 

8

Table of Contents

("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%.  Despite 
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.

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.

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).

COVID-19 prompted healthcare demands and opportunities including the 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.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

We believe our competitive strengths include the following:

Leading  national  healthcare  waste  management  provider  specializing  in  regulated  waste  streams,  including  medical, 
pharmaceutical, and hazardous

Sharps Compliance Corp. is a leading national healthcare waste management provider specializing in regulated waste streams 
including  medical,  pharmaceutical  and  hazardous.  Our  services  facilitate  the  safe  and  proper  collection,  transportation  and 
environmentally-responsible treatment of regulated waste from customers in multiple healthcare-related markets. The markets 
we manage are small to medium-size generators of healthcare waste including professional offices (ambulatory surgical centers, 
physician  groups,  dentists  and  veterinarians),  assisted  living  and  long-term  care  facilities,  government  agencies,  home  health 
care, retail clinics and immunizing pharmacies. Additionally, our mailback solutions are positioned to manage waste generated 
in  the  home  setting  such  as  sharps,  lancets  and  ultimate-user  medications  which  generates  business  relationships  with

pharmaceutical manufacturers and other markets to provide safe and proper disposal. Lastly, we maintain a strong distribution 
network for the sale of our solutions within the aforementioned markets.

We  assist  our  customers  in  determining  solutions  that  best  fit  their  needs  for  the  collection,  transportation  and  treatment  of 
regulated medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste. Our differentiated approach provides our customers the flexibility to 
transport  waste  via  direct  route-based  services,  USPS  or  common  carrier  dependent  upon  quantity  of  waste  generated,  cost 
savings  and  facility  needs.  Our  comprehensive  services  approach  includes  a  single  point  of  contact,  consolidated  billing, 
integrated manifest and proof of destruction repository. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive tracking and reporting tools 
that  enable  our  customers  to  meet  complex  medical,  pharmaceutical  and  hazardous  waste  disposal  and  compliance 
requirements.  We  believe  the  fully-integrated  nature  of  our  operations  is  a  key  factor  leading  to  our  success  and  continued 
recurring  revenue  growth.  Over  the  past  few  years,  the  primary  focus  of  our  marketing  efforts  has  been  on  educating  the 
marketplace about us as an alternative to the historical provider of waste services.

Vertically-integrated full-service operations

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. The 
Carthage facility offers both steam sterilization, in an autoclave and high heat incineration for the proper treatment of regulated 
medical  waste  and  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  and  pharmaceuticals  (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 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  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. We believe the fully-integrated nature of our operations is a key factor and 
differentiator leading to our success and leadership position in our industry.

Highly scalable business model

Because  of  our  business  model,  we  can  add  new  business  while  leveraging  our  existing  infrastructure.  Our  facilities  can 
accommodate significant additional volume, incurring only variable costs of transportation and processing. Once we gain a new 
customer, our profitability typically increases as our customer base grows with minimal additional overhead expense due to the 
embedded nature of our products and the ease with which we can accommodate additional volume.

Diverse product markets

Sharps offers services and products to a wide variety of end markets. The Company’s growth strategies are focused on our key 
markets which include professional offices (ambulatory surgical centers, physician groups, dentists and veterinarians), assisted 
living  and  long-term  care  facilities,  government  agencies,  home  healthcare,  retail  clinics  and  immunizing  pharmacies. 
Additionally, our mailback solutions are positioned to manage waste generated in the home setting such as sharps, lancets and 
ultimate-user  medications  which  generates  business  relationships  with  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  and  other  markets  to 
provide safe and proper disposal.

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 
disposal of sharps in the trash illegal. Almost all other states, as well as the District of Columbia and territories have passed 
strict  guidelines  regarding  home  sharps  disposal.  Whether  legislation  or  strict  guidelines,  most  of  the  U.S.  population  is 
required to first properly contain their home generated sharps before placing into the household trash. In addition, certain 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, 22 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, nine states and several 
counties have introduced legislation requiring manufacturer responsibility for consumer generated unused medications and in 
some cases home sharps disposal. Both Federal and state regulatory agencies are  addressing this issue by banning the sewering 
of medications by medical facilities and by strongly encouraging the public to prohibit sewering of their unwanted drugs. States 
such  as  California,  Washington  and  Minnesota  have  required  assessment  and  proper  treatment  by  a  medical  waste  disposal 
company for years. 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. 

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  Hazardous  Waste 
Pharmaceuticals  passed  in  February  2019  (the  “Pharmaceutical  Rule”).  The  Pharmaceutical  Rule  mandates  that  healthcare 
facilities  compliantly  manage  the  hazardous  waste  pharmaceuticals    generated  on  their  sites  through  less  rigorous  and  more 
streamlined regulatory requirements. The Pharmaceutical Rule also instituted a national ban on the sewering of any hazardous 
waste pharmaceuticals generated by healthcare facilities as of August 19, 2019. As state adoption of these federal regulations 
occurs over the next 24 months and enforcement of these statutes increases, more companies could turn to solutions such as 
ours  to  help  manage  their  hazardous  waste  pharmaceutical,  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.

Environmentally-conscious solution provider.

In addition to providing cost-effective solutions for our customers, the Company is committed to discovering new sustainable 
initiatives that mitigate the effects of potentially hazardous waste on the environment. Our patented Waste Conversion Process™ 
repurposes  regulated  medical  waste  and  unused  medications  into  new  resources  used  in  industrial  applications,  such  as  the 
generation of electricity or recycled plastics used in the industrial sector. Our TakeAway Recycle System is a solution for the 
collection and recycling of single-use medical devices from surgical centers and other healthcare facilities. The system consists 
of  containers  designed  for  use  in  operating  rooms  or  sterile  processing  departments.  The  containers  are  placed  in  a  pre-paid 
return box for shipping to our treatment facilities where devices are stripped to their basic components and sent to appropriate 
recycling facilities. The system adds a much-needed solution to the market in which many single-use devices are reprocessed or 
disposed  of  as  regulated  medical  waste,  resulting  in  wastes  that  could  be  recycled.  Our  Universal  Waste  Shipback  Program 
recycles the materials in light bulbs, batteries and other mercury-containing devices for use in new applications. In addition, the 
use  of  recycled  paper  and  plastic  materials  for  many  of  our  products  further  demonstrates  our  total  commitment  to 
environmentally  sound  business  practices.  As  an  organization,  the  Company  is  a  leading  proponent  for  the  development  of 
solutions for the safe disposal of sharps, unused medications (including controlled substances), light bulbs, batteries and other 
mercury-containing devices in the community and continually works to raise public awareness of the issue.

Experienced and accomplished management team.

Our senior management team has extensive industry experience and is committed to the continued growth and success of our 
company.  Mr.  David  P.  Tusa,  CEO  and  President,  in  addition  to  his  ten-plus  years  with  the  Company  has  over  20  years  of 
business and public company experience in multiple industries and in companies with revenues up to $500 million. Ms. Diana 
P.  Diaz,  CPA,  MBA,  Vice  President  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  has  over  25  years  of  finance,  accounting,  healthcare  and 
public  company  industry  experience.  Mr.  Adrian  W.  Burke,  Senior  Vice  President  of  Operations,  has  over  25  years  of 
operations, logistics and transportation experience in the private sector for a variety of multinational companies, as well as the 
United States Marine Corps. Mr. Gregory C. Davis, Vice President of Operations, has over 20 years of information technology 
and operations-related experience. Mr. Dennis Halligan, Vice President of Marketing, has broad marketing experience with the 
Company and at a variety of firms, including Stir Creative and R.J. Reynolds.

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, 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 $4.7 million for the years ended June 
30,  2011  and  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 a 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,  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%. Despite 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.

Active acquisition program

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 offices and transfer stations in strategic locations. The 
Company directly serves more than 13,750 customer locations with route-based pickup services offered to areas encompassing 
over 70% of the U.S. population. 

With  the  addition  of  these  route-based  pickup  regions  and  the  network  of  medical  and  hazardous  waste  service  providers 
serving  the  entire  U.S.,  the  Company  offers  clients  a  blended  product  portfolio  to  effectively  target  current  and  prospective 
customers  with  multi-site  and  multi-sized  locations  including  those  that  generate  larger  quantities  of  medical  and  hazardous 
waste. 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.

Improve product and service awareness to attract new customers.

As we grow, we continue to focus 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  on  the  benefits  of  our  solutions  and  the  need  for  safe,  cost-effective  and  environmentally-friendly 
methods of medical, pharmaceutical and hazardous waste treatment. We believe that the full-service nature of our offerings and 
the ease and convenience of our mail- and ship-back delivery system will attract new customers who are not yet aware of the 
services we provide. We 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.

Enhance sales and marketing efforts.

Table of Contents

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

•

•

Inside and Online 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  over  the  past  few  years  and  believe  the  comprehensive  offering  capabilities  will 
continue to accelerate revenue growth of the Company.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND SUPPLIERS

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,  2020,  two  customers  represented  approximately  35%  of  revenues.  Two  of  these  customer 
also represented approximately 44%, or $5.2 million of the total accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2020. For the fiscal 
year  ended  June  30,  2019,  two  customer  represented  approximately  27%  of  revenue  and  19%,  or  $1.7  million,  of  the  total 
accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2019. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, one customer represented approximately 
17%  of  revenue.  We  may  be  adversely  affected  by  our  dependence  on  a  limited  number  of  high  volume  customers. 
Management believes that the risks are mitigated by (i) the contractual relationships with key customers, (ii) the high quality 
and reputation of the Company and its solution offerings and (iii) the continued diversification of our solution offerings into 
additional markets outside of our traditional customer base.

The  Company  currently  transports  (from  the  patient  or  user  to  the  Company’s  facilities  or  subcontracted  treatment  facilities) 
many  of  its  mailback  and  unused  medication  solution  offerings  using  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. We 
utilize  national  suppliers  for  the  majority  of  the  raw  materials  used  in  our  other  products  and  solutions  and  international 
suppliers for Pitch-It IV Poles.

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 covering over 70% of the U.S. population throughout the 
South,  Southeast,  Midwest  and  Northeast  and  through  a  network  of  medical  and  hazardous  waste  services  providers,  the 
Company believes it is well 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  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

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 2020 as we saw the benefits of our marketing activities in all of 
our target markets. Revenue increased 15% to $51 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 driven by increases in the 
retail, home health care, assisted living, professional and pharmaceutical manufacturer markets due mainly to increased flu shot 

15

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.  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,  2020,  two  customers 
represented approximately 35% of revenues. Two of these customers also represented approximately 44%, or $5.2 million, of 
the  total  accounts  receivable  balance  as  of  June  30,  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.

The loss of our senior executives could affect our 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  Operations  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  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 our ability to execute our 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 our 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 our 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  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 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  processing  and 
treatment facilities which, are located in Carthage, Texas and in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, are currently permitted to treat 
and process 182 tons of medical, pharmaceutical and other healthcare related waste per day. The Company owns one of these 
processing and treatment facilities and leases the 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 
facilities 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 the disposal or treatment 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.

Table of Contents

Restrictions  in  our  Credit  Agreement  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition,  results  of  operations  and 
value of our securities.

The Credit Agreement and 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 a maximum cash flow leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not 
less than 1.15 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement, which expires on March 29, 2021 for the working capital portion of the Credit 
Agreement, and the Loan Agreement also contain customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate the agreements 
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 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-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.

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  our  facilities  or  subcontracted  treatment  facilities)  the  majority  of  our 
solution  offerings  using  USPS.  Therefore,  any  long-term  interruption  in  USPS  delivery  services  would  disrupt  the  return 
transportation  and  treatment  element  of  our  business.  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 58,000 
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.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 

Total  revenues  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  2020  of  $51.1  million  increased  by  $6.8  million,  or  15.4%,  from  the  total 
revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 of $44.3 million. The increase in revenue is mainly due to increased billings in 
the Retail, Home Health Care, Assisted Living, Professional and Pharmaceutical Manufacturer market. The increase in billings 
is partially offset by current year deferred revenue net of product returns on sales in prior periods. Billings by market are as 
follows (in thousands):

The  increase  in  Retail  billings  was  due  mainly  to  a  $2.2  million  increase  in  flu  shot-related  orders  and  increased  unused 
medication billings of $2.0 million including both MedSafe and Take Away Recovery System envelopes. The increase in Home 
Health Care billings was due primarily to an expanded relationship with a major healthcare distributor. Assisted Living market 
billings  increased  primarily  due  to  increased  COVID-19  related  waste  management  and  ancillary  supplies.    The  increase  in 
Professional market billings reflected organic growth as the Company continued its focus on securing customers from the small to 
medium quantity generator sector, which consists largely of physicians, clinics, dentists, surgery centers, veterinarians and other 
healthcare  professionals,  who  benefit  from  the  cost-effective  and  convenient  Sharps  Recovery  System™  and  the  Company’s 
route-based  pick-up  services.  The  overall  increase  in  Professional  market  billings  from  organic  growth  was  partially  offset  by 
decreases  from  mid  March  2020  through  early  June  2020  related  to  state  mandated  closures  associated  with  the  COVID-19 
pandemic that temporarily closed some of our dental, physician and other customer facilities. Most of the affected customers have 
since  re-opened.  Pharmaceutical  Manufacturer  billings  increased  primarily  due  to  inventory  builds  for  several  current  and  new 
patient support programs. Billings for Mailbacks in the year ended June 30, 2020 increased 13% to $28.4 million as compared to 
$25.2  million  in  2019  and  represented  53.7%  of  total  billings  is  primarily  due  to  flu  shot-related  orders  in  our  retail  market. 
Billings for Route-Based Pickup Services increased 15% to $10.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2020 due to organic growth 
as compared to $9.0 million in 2019 and represented 19.6% of total billings. Billings for Unused Medications increased 32% to 
$9.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $6.9 million in 2019 due to retail market sales of both MedSafe and 
TakeAway Recovery System envelopes and represented 17.3% of total billings .

Cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2020 of $35.4 million was 69.2% of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended 
June 30, 2019 of $31.0 million was 70.1% of revenue. The gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2020 of 30.8%  increased 
compared  to  the  gross  margin  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019  of  29.9%.  Gross  margin  was  positively  impacted  for  the  year 
ended June 30, 2020 due to higher revenues than the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $14.0 million and $12.0 
million,  respectively.  The  increase  in  SG&A  expense  was  due  to  continued  investments  in  sales  and  marketing  as  well  as 
increased professional fees.

The Company recorded operating income of $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared to an operating income of 
$0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. The operating income increased mainly due to higher revenue and higher gross 
margin (discussed above) partially offset by higher SG&A expense.

The Company reported income before income taxes of $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared to income before 
income  taxes  of  $0.4  million  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019.  Income  before  income  taxes  increased  due  to  the  increase  in 
operating income (discussed above). 

The  Company’s  effective  tax  rate  for  the  years  ended  June  30,  2020  and  2019  was  (232)%  and  44%,  respectively.  The  2020 
effective tax rate is primarily due to a $1.7 million income tax benefit as a result of the release of the tax valuation allowance on 
the basis of the Company's reassessment of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets.

The Company reported a net income of $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net income of $0.2 million 
for the year ended June 30, 2019. Net income increased due to the increase in operating income (discussed above) and to the non-
cash benefit recorded to income tax expense resulting from the release of the valuation allowance of approximately $1.7 million. 

The Company reported basic and diluted income per share of $0.14 for the year ended June 30, 2020 versus basic and diluted 
income per share of $0.01 for the year ended June 30, 2019. Basic and diluted income per share increased due to the increase in 
net income (discussed above).

current period sales, (ii) recognition of certain revenue associated with product returned for treatment and destruction 
and  (iii)  provisions  for  certain  product  returns  and  discounts  to  customers  which  are  accounted  for  as  reductions  in 
sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. 

The increase in billings was primarily attributable to increased billings in the Retail ($3.6 million), Professional ($2.0 million), 
and  Government  ($0.4  million)  markets.  The  increase  was  partially  offset  by  decreased  billings  in  the  Environmental  ($0.6 
million)  and  Pharmaceutical  Manufacturer  ($0.3  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. The increase in Professional market

billings reflected organic growth as the Company continued its focus on securing customers from the small to medium quantity 
generator  sector,  which  consists  largely  of  physicians,  clinics,  dentists,  surgery  centers,  veterinarians  and  other  healthcare 
professionals, who benefit from the cost-effective and convenient Sharps Recovery System™ and the Company’s route-based 
pick-up  services.  The  increase  in  Government  market  billings  was  due  primarily  to  billings  for  unused  medication  related 
orders. The decrease in Environmental billings was due to lower third party treatment billings from our treatment facilities in 
Texas and Pennsylvania. The decrease in Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings was mainly due to timing of inventory builds 
for  patient  support  programs.  Although  there  were  new  pharmaceutical  manufacturer  programs  launched  in  fiscal  2019,  the 
impact  is  offset  by  significant  inventory  builds  for  larger  programs  in  the  first  half  of  fiscal  2018  which  did  not  re-occur  in 
fiscal  2019  due  to  their  significant  size.  Billings  for  Mailbacks  in  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019  increased  14.9%  to  $25.2 
million as compared to $21.9 million in 2018 and represented 56.0% of total billings. Billings for Route-Based Pickup Services 
increased 21.0% to $9.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2019 due to organic growth as compared to $7.5 million in 2018 and 
represented 20.0% of total billings. Billings for Unused Medications increased 17.0% to $6.9 million in the year ended June 30, 
2019 as compared to $5.9 million in 2018 and represented 15.0% of total billings.

Cost of revenue for the year ended June 30, 2019 of $31.0 million was 70.1% of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended 
June 30, 2018 of $28.7 million was 71.6% of revenue. The gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2019 of 29.9% increased 
compared to the gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2018 of 28.4%. Gross margin was positively impacted for the year 
ended June 30, 2019 due to higher revenues than the prior year.

SG&A expenses for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $12.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The increase 
in SG&A expense was due to continued investments in sales and marketing.

The  Company  recorded  operating  income  of  $0.4  million  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2019  compared  to  an  operating  loss 
of  $0.6  million  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2018.  The  operating  income  increased  mainly  due  to  higher  revenue  and  higher 
gross margin (discussed above).

The Company reported income before income taxes of $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2019 compared to loss before 
income taxes of $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2018. Income before income taxes increased due to the increase in 
operating income (discussed above).

The Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 44.3% and (3.2)%, respectively. The 2019 
effective tax rate is primarily due to deferred tax expense related to indefinite lived assets, such as goodwill, which cannot be 
used as a source of future taxable income in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and state 
income taxes. The 2018 effective tax rate reflects the impact of the 2017 tax law change on the Company's alternative minimum 
tax credits net of estimated state income tax expense and deferred tax expenses related to indefinite lived assets.

The Company reported a net income of $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for 
the year ended June 30, 2018. Net income increased due to the increase in operating income (discussed above).

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 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.

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%. Despite 

27

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.

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.

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).

COVID-19 prompted healthcare demands and opportunities including the 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.

The Company’s financial position with a cash balance of $5.4 million (used for working capital needs), debt of $5.2 
million  and  additional  availability  under  the  Credit  and  Loan  Agreements  as  of  June  30,  2020  (used  to  support 
working capital needs and is constrained due to the impacts additional borrowings might have on our future covenant 
compliance).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

Cash  flow  has  historically  been  primarily  influenced  by  demand  for  products  and  services,  operating  margins  and  related 
working  capital  needs  as  well  as  more  strategic  activities  including  acquisitions,  stock  repurchases  and  fixed  asset  additions. 
Cash increased by $0.9 million to $5.4 million at June 30, 2020 from $4.5 million at June 30, 2019 due to the following:

•

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Cash flow from operating activities increased primarily due to an increase in 
operating  income,  increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  of  $1.0  million  and  an  increase  in  net  contract 
liabilities  of  $1.1  million  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  of  $3.0  million  and  an  increase  in 
inventory of $1.9 million.

•

Cash Flows from Investing Activities - Cash flow from investing activities is for permitting and capital expenditures 
for  plant  and  equipment  additions  of  $4.2  million,  including  approximately  $2.9  million  for  expenditures  at  the 
Company's treatment facility in Carthage, Texas.

Cash  Flows  from  Financing  Activities  –  Cash  flow  from  financing  activities  provided  an  increase  in  cash  from 
proceeds from long-term debt of $4.3 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.7 million offset by 
the repayment of debt of $0.5 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  years 
ended  June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Credit Facility

On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into to a credit agreement with a commercial bank which was subsequently amended 
on  June  29,  2018  to  extend  the  maturity  date  by  two  years  to  March  29,  2021  for  the  working  capital  portion  of  the  Credit 
Agreement  (“Credit  Agreement”).  The  Company  expects  the  Credit  Agreement  will  be  renewed  and  extended  prior  to  the 
maturity  date.  The  Credit  Agreement  provides  for  a  $14.0  million  credit  facility,  the  proceeds  of  which  may  be  utilized  as 
follows: (i) $6.0 million for working capital, letters of credit (up to $2.0 million) and general corporate purposes and (ii) $8.0 
million for acquisitions. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets with 
advances outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at any time limited to a Borrowing Base (as defined 
in the Credit Agreement) equal to 80.0% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50.0% of eligible inventory and 
(ii) $3.0 million. Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 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% depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of June 30, 2020 was approximately 2.79%. 
The Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the credit facility. At June 30, 2020, $0.9 million was 
outstanding  related  to  the  acquisition  portion  of  the  credit  facility.  No  amounts  were  outstanding  under  the  working  capital 
portion of the credit facility at June 30, 2020. 

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%. At June 30, 2020, $0.9 million and $1.1 million was outstanding related to the equipment portion and real estate portion, 
respectively, of the Loan Agreement. 

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, 

29

Table of Contents

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  $13.0  million  ($5.9  million  for  the  working  capital  and  $7.1 
million for the acquisitions) as of June 30, 2020 (used to support working capital needs and is constrained due to the impacts 
additional  borrowings  might  have  on  our  future  covenant  compliance).  The  Company  has  availability  under  the  Loan 
Agreement  of  $1.2  million  ($0.9  million  for  the  real  estate  and  $0.3  million  for  the  equipment)  as  of  June  30,  2020.The 
Company also had $0.1 million in letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020. 

The Credit and Loan Agreements contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require the Company to 
maintain a maximum cash flow leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less 
than 1.15 to 1.00. The Credit and Loan Agreements also contains customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate 
the agreements 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  and  cash  flows  from  operations)  will  be 
sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, net of applicable sales tax, when performance obligations are satisfied 
through the transfer of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers. Control transfers once a customer 
has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the promised goods or services. Outbound 
shipping and handling 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 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.

Other  than  the  Company’s  mailbacks  and  unused  medication  contract  categories,  the  Company’s  solutions  have  a  single 
performance obligation. The Company's mailbacks and unused medication solutions have revenue producing components that 
are  recognized  over  multiple  delivery  points  (Sharps  Recovery  System  and  various  other  solutions  like  the  MedSafe  and 

30

Table of Contents

TakeAway  Medication  Recovery  Systems  referred  to  as  “mailbacks”  or  "unused  medications")  and  can  consist  of  up  to  two 
performance obligations, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, and (2) return 
transportation and treatment service. For mailbacks that are part of the VMI program, there is an additional element, or unit of 
measure,  for  outbound  transportation.  For  contracts  with  multiple  performance  obligations,  an  estimated  stand-alone  selling 
price is determined for all performance obligations. The consideration is then allocated to the performance obligations based on 
their  relative  stand-alone  selling  price.  The  selling  price  for  performance  obligations  for  transportation  and  treatment  utilizes 
third party evidence. The Company estimates the selling price of the compliance and container system based on the product and 
services provided, including the expected cost plus a margin.

The allocated transaction price for the sale of the compliance and container system is recognized upon delivery to the customer, 
at which time the customer has control. The allocated transaction price for the return transportation and treatment 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  at  which  point  the  destruction  or  conversion  and  proof  of 
receipt and treatment are performed on the container. Consideration received and allocated to the transportation and treatment 
performance  obligation  is  recorded  as  a  contract  liability  until  the  services  are  performed.  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  return  transportation  and  treatment  element  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. 

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 was entitled to at the point in time of satisfying the performance 
obligation associated with the sale of the compliance 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.  Incremental  costs  to  obtain  contracts  that  are  deemed  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. 

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  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.  The  Company  has  historically 
recorded  a  valuation  allowance  to  reduce  its  deferred  tax  assets  to  an  amount  that  is  more  likely  than  not  to  be  realized. 
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 deferred 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 net operating loss carryforward 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  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

Table of Contents

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, 
2020, 2019 and 2018.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

32

Table of Contents

In  March  2020,  guidance  for  applying  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 requires entities to measure credit losses for 
financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  based  on  expected  losses  rather  than  incurred  losses.  The  provisions  of  the  new 
guidance  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2022  (effective  July  1,  2023  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 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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 as of June 30, 2020 pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 
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, 2020.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control 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.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of Directors 
Sharps Compliance Corp.
Houston, Texas

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sharps Compliance Corp. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 
2020  and  2019,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three 
years  in  the  period  ended  June  30,  2020,  and  the  related  notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial 
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of the Company at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle

As  discussed  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  changed  its  method  of  accounting  for  leases 
effective July 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and the 
related amendments.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered 
with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)  (“PCAOB”)  and  are  required  to  be  independent  with 
respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement, 
whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal 
control  over  financial  reporting.  As  part  of  our  audits  we  are  required  to  obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over 
financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a 
test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included 
evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ BDO USA, LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014.

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.

Concentration of Customers and Service Providers: There is an inherent concentration of credit risk associated with accounts 
receivable  arising  from  sales  to  major  customers.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  2020,  two  customers  represented 
approximately  35%  of  revenues.  Two  of  these  customers  also  represented  approximately  44%,  or  $5.2  million,  of  the  total 
accounts  receivable  balance  as  of  June  30,  2020.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  2019,  two  customers  represented 
approximately 27% of revenues and one of these customers also represented approximately 19%, or $1.7 million, of the total 
accounts  receivable  balance  as  of  June  30,  2019.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  2018,  one  customer  represented 
approximately  17%  of  revenues.  In  the  event  a  major  customer  is  lost,  the  Company  may  be  adversely  affected  by  its 
dependence on a limited number of high volume customers.

The  Company  currently  transports  (from  the  patient  or  user  to  the  Company's  facility  or  subcontracted  treatment  facilities) 
many of its mailback and unused medication solution offerings using the United States Postal Service ("USPS"). The Company 
also has an arrangement with United Parcel Service Inc. (“UPS”) whereby UPS transports certain other mailback and unused 
medication  solution  offerings.  Sharps  maintains  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, the Company owns proprietary molds and dies and utilizes several contract manufacturers for the production of the 
primary  raw  materials.  Sharps  believes  that  alternative  suitable  contract  manufacturers  are  readily  available  to  meet  the 
production  specifications  of  our  products  and  solutions.  The  Company  utilizes  national  suppliers  for  the  majority  of  the  raw 
materials used in our other products and solutions and international suppliers for Pitch-It IV Poles.

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):

(1) The Company’s other products include IV poles, accessories, containers, asset return boxes and other miscellaneous items 

with single performance obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue, net of applicable sales tax, when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer 
of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct 
the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the promised goods or services. Outbound shipping and handling 
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 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.

Other  than  the  Company’s  mailbacks  and  unused  medication  solutions,  the  Company’s  solutions  have  a  single  performance 
obligation. The Company's mailbacks and unused medication solutions 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” or "unused medications") and can consist of up to two performance 
obligations, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, and (2) return transportation 
and treatment service. For mailbacks that are part of the VMI program, there is an additional element, or unit of measure, for 
outbound  transportation.  For  contracts  with  multiple  performance  obligations,  an  estimated  stand-alone  selling  price  is 
determined for all performance obligations. The consideration is then allocated to the performance obligations based on their 
relative stand-alone selling price. The selling price for performance obligations for transportation and treatment utilizes third 
party  evidence.  The  Company  estimates  the  selling  price  of  the  compliance  and  container  system  based  on  the  product  and 
services provided, including the expected cost plus a margin.

The allocated transaction price for the sale of the compliance and container system is recognized upon delivery to the customer, 
at which time the customer has control. The allocated transaction price for the return transportation and treatment 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  at  which  point  the  destruction  or  conversion  and  proof  of 
receipt and treatment are performed on the container. Consideration received and allocated to the transportation and treatment 
performance  obligation  is  recorded  as  a  contract  liability  until  the  services  are  performed.  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  return  transportation  and  treatment  element  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. 

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 recorded 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  mailbacks  contract  type  category  when  the  revenue 
recognition exceeds the amount of consideration the Company was entitled to at the point in time of satisfying the performance 
obligation associated with the sale of the compliance 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 deemed 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 both June 30, 
2020  and  2019.  The  amortization  of  capitalized  sales  incentives,  which  is  included  in  selling,  general  and  administrative 
expense, totaled less than $0.1 million for each of the years ended June 30, 2020 and 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 

F-9

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. 

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:

•

•

•

•

•

United States – fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and after

State of Texas – fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and after

State of Georgia – fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and after

State of Pennsylvania – fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and after

Other States – fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and after

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 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  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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018

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. See rollforward of allowance activity

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 
requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Total stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal 
years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 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 fair value of the Company’s stock options was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model 
with the following assumptions:

Weighted average expected volatility

Weighted average expected life (in years)

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

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, 
2020, 2019 and 2018.

Intangible  Assets:  Intangible  assets  consist  of  (i)  acquired  customer  relationships,  (ii)  permit  costs  related  to  the  Company’s 
treatment facilities and transfer stations, (iii) twelve patents and (iv) defense costs related to certain existing patents.

Cash:  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 
net realizable value using the average cost method. The Company periodically reviews the value and classification 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. Write-offs totaled less than $0.1 million for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 
2020, 2019 and 2018. The components of inventory are as follows (in thousands):

The current portion of inventory includes amounts which the Company expects to sell in the next twelve month period based on 
historical sales.

Property,  Plant  and  Equipment:  Property,  plant  and  equipment,  including  third  party  software  and  implementation  costs,  is 
stated  at  cost,  or  fair  value  if  acquired  in  a  business  combination,  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.

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.  No  impairment  loss  was  recognized  during  the  years  ended  June  30,  2020,  2019  and 
2018.

(1) Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Shipping  and  Handling  Fees  and  Costs:  The  Company  records  amounts  billed  to  customers  for  shipping  and  handling  as 
revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling have been classified as cost of revenues.

Advertising  Costs:  Advertising  costs  are  charged  to  expenses  when  incurred  and  totaled  $0.9  million,  $0.9  million  and  $0.7 
million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Research activities 
represent  an  important  part  of  the  Company’s  business  and  include  both  internal  labor  costs  and  payments  to  third  parties 
related  to  the  processes  of  discovering,  testing  and  developing  new  products,  improving  existing  products,  as  well  as 
demonstrating  product  efficacy  and  regulatory  compliance  prior  to  launch  of  new  products  and  services.  Research  and 
development expenses paid to third parties totaled less than $0.1 million for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 
and 2018.

Employee Benefit Plans: In addition to group health-related benefits, the Company maintains a 401(k) employee savings plan 
available to all full-time employees. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions with cash (25% of employee 
contribution up to 6%). Company contributions to the 401(k) plan were less than $0.1 million in each of the fiscal years ended 
June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For purposes of 
the group health benefit plan, the Company self-insures an amount equal to the excess of the employees’ deductible (range from 
$2,500 for each individual and family member covered) up to the amount by which the third-party insurance coverage begins 
(ranges from $2,500 for individual up to $10,000 for family coverage). The amount of liability at June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 
less  than  $0.1  million  and  is  included  in  accrued  liabilities.  The  Company  also  has  an  incentive  plan  for  executives  of  the 
Company,  which  provides  for  performance  based  cash  and  stock-based  compensation  awards.  No  expense  was  recognized 
during the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 for cash awards pursuant to the plan. 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the 
weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  including  participating  securities  during  the  period.  Diluted  EPS 
reflects  the  potential  dilution  that  could  occur  if  securities  and  other  contracts  to  issue  common  stock  were  exercised  or 
converted into common stock.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company considers the fair value of all financial instruments, including cash, 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.  The 
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. We determine the fair value of our interest rate swap 
executed  during  the  year  ended  June  30,  2020  using  third-party  pricing  information  that  is  derived  from  observable  market 
inputs, which we classify as level 2 with respect to the fair value hierarchy.

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  March  2020,  guidance  for  applying  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 requires entities to measure credit losses for 
financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  based  on  expected  losses  rather  than  incurred  losses.  The  provisions  of  the  new 
guidance  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2022  (effective  July  1,  2023  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 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.

SHARPS COMPLIANCE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018

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 to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely 
than not to be realized. 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 deferred 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 net operating loss carryforward balances 
and available credits.

At June 30, 2020 and 2019, the significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets relating to:
Stock-based compensation
AMT and research and development credits
Inventory
Professional fees
Deferred tax assets related to other items
Net operating loss carryforwards

Total deferred tax assets

Deferred tax liabilities related to depreciable and amortizable assets
Deferred tax liabilities related to other items

Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance

(1) Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

At  June  30,  2020,  the  Company  had  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  $4.8  million,  which  will  expire,  if  unused,  between 
June 30, 2032 and June 30, 2038. At June 30, 2020, the Company had various tax credit carryforwards of $0.5 million which 
will expire beginning on June 30, 2030.

Given  the  release  of  the  valuation  allowance,  a  net  deferred  tax  asset  was  recorded  for  $1.3  million  as  of  June  30,  2020.  A 
deferred tax liability of $0.2 million was recorded as of June 30, 2019 for deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived assets 
which  cannot  be  used  as  a  source  of  future  taxable  income,  such  as  goodwill,  in  the  amount  of  $0.3  million  offset  by  the 
alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $0.1 million.

On  March  27,  2020,  the  Coronavirus  Aid,  Relief,  and  Economic  Security  ("CARES")  Act  was  enacted  in  response  to  the 
COVID-19  pandemic.  The  CARES  Act,  among  other  things,  accelerates  the  Company’s  ability  to  recover  refundable  AMT 
credits to 2018 and 2019. As such, the Company has recorded the remaining balance of its AMT credits as a current income tax 
receivable at June 30, 2020. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's income taxes. 

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into to a credit agreement with a commercial bank which was subsequently amended 
on  June  29,  2018  to  extend  the  maturity  date  by  two  years  to  March  29,  2021  for  the  working  capital  portion  of  the  Credit 
Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”). The Company expects the Credit Agreement will be renewed and extended prior to the 
maturity  date.  The  Credit  Agreement,  provides  for  a  $14.0  million  credit  facility,  the  proceeds  of  which  may  be  utilized  as 
follows: (i) $6.0 million for working capital, letters of credit (up to $2.0 million) and general corporate purposes and (ii) $8.0 
million for acquisitions. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets with 
advances outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at any time limited to a Borrowing Base (as defined

in the Credit Agreement) equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of eligible inventory and (ii) 
$3.0  million.  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-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% depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of June 30, 2020 was approximately 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.

computing diluted earnings per share, the outstanding common stock options are considered dilutive using the treasury stock 
method.

The Company’s restricted stock awards are treated as outstanding for earnings per share calculations since these shares have 
full voting rights and are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares, if any, and undistributed earnings. As 
participating securities, the shares of restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class 
method. For the periods presented, the amount of earnings allocated to the participating securities was not material.

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