NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business of the Company

Retractable Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on May 9, 1994, and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets safety syringes and other safety medical products for the healthcare profession. The Company began to develop its manufacturing operations in 1995. The Company’s manufacturing and administrative facilities are located in Little Elm, Texas. The Company’s products are the VanishPoint^® 0.5mL insulin syringe; 1mL tuberculin, insulin, and allergy antigen syringes; 0.5mL, 1mL, 2mL, 3mL, 5mL, and 10mL syringes; the blood collection tube holder; the EasyPoint^® blood collection tube holder with needle; the small diameter tube adapter; the allergy tray; the IV safety catheter; the Patient Safe^® syringes; the Patient Safe^® Luer Cap; the VanishPoint^® Blood Collection Set; and the EasyPoint^® needle as well as a standard 3mL syringe packaged with an EasyPoint^® needle. The Company also sells VanishPoint^® autodisable syringes in the international market in addition to the Company’s other products.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of Management, reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the Company’s audited financial statements incorporated into its Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2025 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The amount reported as a contractual allowance for rebates involves examination of past historical trends related to sales to customers and the related credits issued once contractual obligations of the customers have been met. The establishment of a liability for future claims of rebates against sales in the current period requires that the Company has an understanding of the relevant sales with respect to product categories, sales distribution channels, and the likelihood of contractual obligations being satisfied.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market accounts, and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable

The Company records trade receivables when revenue is recognized. No product has been consigned to customers. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables based on historical collection rates and specific knowledge regarding the current creditworthiness of the customers. Those

Table of Contents

accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. The Company considers historical experience, the current economic environment, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies, legal disputes, collections on past due amounts, pricing discrepancies, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to develop its allowance for credit losses. Management reviews these factors quarterly to determine if any adjustments are needed to the allowance. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. The allowance for credit losses was $575 thousand and $668 thousand as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company requires certain customers to make a prepayment prior to beginning production or shipment of their order. Customers may apply such prepayments to their outstanding invoices or pay the invoice and continue to carry forward the deposit for future orders. Such amounts are included in Other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Balance Sheets and are shown in Note 6, Other Accrued Liabilities.

The Company records an allowance for estimated returns as a reduction to Accounts receivable and Gross sales. Historically, returns have been insignificant.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using actual average cost. The Company compares the average cost to the net realizable value and records the lower value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company recorded no lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustment associated with the VanishPoint^® 3mL and EasyPoint^® needle product segments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and in the distribution channel, estimated time to sell such inventory, the shelf life of inventory, and current market conditions when determining excess or obsolete inventories. Once inventory items are deemed to be either excess or obsolete, they are written down to their net realizable value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of approximately $601 thousand and $617 thousand, respectively. For the comparable periods in 2024, inventory write-downs were not material. These write-downs were primarily related to certain product lots approaching their expiration dates.

Investments in debt and equity securities

The Company holds mutual funds, debt, and equity securities as investments. These assets are held as trading securities and are carried at fair value as of the date of the Condensed Balance Sheets. Net unrealized and realized gains or losses on these investments are reflected separately on the Condensed Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses on investments are recognized using the specific identification method.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Cost includes major expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity and interest costs associated with significant capital additions. Gains or losses from disposals are included in Interest and other income.

Table of Contents

The Company's property, plant, and equipment primarily consist of buildings, land, assembly equipment, molding machines, molds, office equipment, furniture, and fixtures. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:


Production equipment		3 to 13 years
Office furniture and equipment		3 to 10 years
Buildings		39 years
Building improvements		5 to 15 years

Long-lived assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets using an assessment of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to such assets. In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts which are in excess of estimated gross future cash flows, the assets will be adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow analysis or appraised values of the underlying assets.

Fair value measurements

For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets or liabilities, adjusted for contract restrictions and other terms specific to that asset or liability. For these items, a significant portion of fair value is derived by reference to quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets. For all remaining assets and liabilities, fair value is derived using a fair value model, such as a discounted cash flow model or Black-Scholes model.

Financial instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments through the use of public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, and other available information. Judgment is required in interpreting data to develop estimates of fair value and, accordingly, amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on Management's estimates, equals their recorded values. Investments in debt and equity securities consist primarily of individual equity securities and mutual funds and are reported at their fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of long-term liabilities, based on Management’s estimates, approximates their reported values.

Concentration risks

The Company’s financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, exchange-traded and closed-end funds, mutual funds, equity securities, and accounts receivable. Cash balances, some of which exceed federally insured limits, are maintained in financial institutions; however, Management believes the institutions are of high credit quality. The Company assesses market risk in equity securities through consultation with its outside investment advisors. Management is responsible for directing investment activity based on current economic conditions. The majority of accounts receivable are due from companies which are well-established entities. Management considers any exposure from concentrations of credit risks to be limited.

Purchases from Chinese manufacturers aggregated 62% and 92% of products in the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the event that the Company becomes unable to purchase product from its Chinese manufacturers or produce those products domestically, the Company may need to find an alternate manufacturer for its blood collection set, IV catheter, Patient Safe^® syringe, 0.5mL insulin syringe, 0.5mL autodisable syringe, and 2mL, 5mL, and 10mL syringes. Even with increased domestic production, the Company may not be able to avoid a disruption in supply.

On September 13, 2024, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) revealed final adjustments to increase tariffs on certain goods imported from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Among those products included were syringes and needles, at a rate of 100%. In April 2025, an additional imposition of tariffs at a rate of 145% went into effect on products imported from China. The April 2025 tariff rate applies to the Company’s non-syringe and non-needle products, and is in addition to the 100% tariffs on syringes and needles. On May 12, 2025 and effective on May 14, 2025, the tariff rate has been reduced to 30% as a baseline to replace the 145% rate announced in April. The announcement was part of a 90-day agreement while the U.S. and China negotiated a broader deal on trade and tariffs. As a result, and until a final trade deal has been announced, Management believes the tariff rate on needles and syringes imported from China will be 130% and the remaining products the Company imports will be 30%. As foreign trade policy continues to evolve and as new trade deals are being negotiated, uncertainty as to future tariff rates and affected products remains. Tariffs are expected to have a continuing material impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial position. The Company is working to lessen the financial impact of the tariffs through strategic ordering of products from its Chinese suppliers and shifting a larger portion of manufacturing of 1mL, 3mL, and EasyPoint^® needles to its domestic manufacturing facility.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of performance obligations passes to the customer, generally when the product ships. Payments from customers with approved credit terms are typically due 30 days from the invoice date. Under certain contracts, revenue is recorded on the basis of sales price to distributors, less contractual pricing allowances. Contractual pricing allowances consist of: (i) rebates granted to distributors who provide tracking reports which show, among other things, the facility that purchased the products, and (ii) a provision for estimated contractual pricing allowances for products for which the Company has not received tracking reports. When rebates are issued, they are applied against the customer’s receivable balance. Distributors receive a rebate for the difference between the Wholesale Acquisition Cost and the appropriate contract price as reflected on a tracking report provided by the distributor to the Company. If product is sold by a distributor to an entity that has no contract, there is a standard rebate (lower than a contracted rebate) given to the distributor. One of the purposes of the rebate is to encourage distributors to submit tracking reports to the Company. The provision for contractual pricing allowances is recognized in the period the related sales are recognized and is reviewed at the end of each quarter and adjusted for changes in levels of products for which there is no tracking report. Additionally, if it becomes clear that tracking reports will not be provided by individual distributors, the provision is further adjusted. The estimated contractual allowance is included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Balance Sheets and deducted from Revenues in the Condensed Statements of Operations. Accounts payable included estimated contractual allowances for $2.0 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The terms and conditions of contractual pricing allowances are governed by contracts between the Company and its distributors. Revenue for shipments directly to

Table of Contents

end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership pass from the Company. End-users do not receive any contractual allowances on their purchases. Any product shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.

The Company provides product warranties that: i) the products are fit for medical use as generally defined within the boundaries of United States FDA approval; ii) the products are not defective; and iii) the products will conform to the descriptions set forth in their respective labeling, provided that they are used in accordance with such labeling and the Company’s written directions for use. The Company has historically not incurred significant warranty claims.

The Company’s domestic return policy provides that a customer may return incorrect shipments within 10 days following arrival at the distributor’s facility. In all such cases, the distributor must obtain an authorization code from the Company and affix the code to the returned product. The Company’s domestic return policy also generally provides that a customer may return product that is overstocked. Overstocking returns are limited to two times in each 12-month period up to 1% of distributor’s total purchase of products for the prior 12-month period. All product overstocks and returns are subject to inspection and acceptance by the Company. The Company has not historically incurred significant returns.

The Company’s international distribution agreements generally do not provide for any returns.

The Company periodically recognizes revenue from licensing agreements of its intellectual property. Such licensing agreements provide the licensee with right to use the Company’s intellectual property. The Company accounts for revenue generated under these licensing agreements in accordance with ASC 606. A license may be perpetual or time limited in its application. The Company has concluded that its licensing agreement is distinct as the customer can benefit from the license on their own. In accordance with ASC 606, the licensing agreement is considered functional as it is without professional services, updates and technical support. The Company has determined the current licensing agreement is sales-based or usage-based as defined in ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from sales-based or usage-based license at the later of a) subsequent sale or usage occurrence or b) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). The Company did not recognize any licensing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $90 thousand and $189 thousand recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. If the Company licenses its products for sale and the customers of the sublicensee are not known to the Company, the Company is obligated to pay Thomas J. Shaw, the owner of certain patented technology, fifty percent (50%) of such revenue pursuant to the terms of the Technology License Agreement between the Company and Mr. Shaw.

Disaggregated information of revenue recognized from contracts with customers and licensing fees recognized are as follows:

Income taxes

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for recognition in the financial statements based on whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained based upon the technical merits of the position. Measurement of the tax position is based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company provides for deferred income taxes through utilizing an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting based on the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted rates expected to be in effect when such differences reverse in future periods. Deferred tax assets are periodically reviewed for realizability. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded valuation allowances of $11.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, against its net deferred tax asset.

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net earnings for the period (adjusted for any cumulative dividends for the period) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of the common stock deliverable pursuant to stock options and/or common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock.

Technology Investment Agreement (TIA)

Effective July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Technology Investment Agreement (“TIA”) with the United States Government Department of Defense, U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division & Edgewood Contracting Division (ACC-APG, NCD & ECD) on behalf of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), as amended, for $81,029,518 in government funding for

Table of Contents

expanding the Company’s domestic production of needles and syringes. At the request of the US government, the TIA was transferred to a successor agreement, identified as Other Transaction Agreement in April 2023. Such agreement contains no additional requirements and, for the purposes of this report, the agreement shall continue to be referred to herein as the “TIA”. Under this agreement, the Company has made significant additions to its facilities which allows the Company to increase domestic production capacity. For further explanation, please refer to Note 7 – Technology Investment Agreement.

As reimbursements were received from the U.S. government for expenditures under the TIA, the Company recorded a deferred liability. In 2021, the deferred liability began to be systematically amortized as a gain over the life of the related property, plant, and equipment and is presented as Other income – TIA on the Statements of Operations. For any reimbursements received for expenditures not capitalized as property, plant, and equipment, Other income – TIA was recognized in the same period as the expense.

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows:

●

Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

●

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable

●

Level 3 – unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity

The following tables summarize the values of assets designated as Investments in debt and equity securities:

Unrealized losses on investments in debt and equity securities were $5.6 million and $47 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes was (2.1)% and (141.5)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes was (2.8)% and (157.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory corporate tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:


	Six Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024
U.S. statutory federal tax rate	21.0	%	21.0	%
State tax, net of federal tax	(2.1)	%	(0.1)	%
Change in valuation allowance	(21.3)	%	(177.6)	%
Section 162(m); Limit on Compensation	(0.2)	%	(0.2)	%
Other	(0.2)	%	(0.1)	%
Return-to-provision and other	—	%	(0.2)	%
Effective tax rate	(2.8)	%	(157.2)	%

The Company uses the recognition and measurement provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), to account for income taxes. The provisions of Topic 740 require a company to record a valuation allowance when the “more likely than not” criterion for realizing net deferred tax assets cannot be met. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of such evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The Company reviewed the operating results, as well as all of the positive and negative evidence related to realization of such deferred tax assets, to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of this review, as of June 30, 2025, the Company concluded that a $11.3 million valuation is needed on the net deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $9.1 million against its net deferred tax asset.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was different from the federal statutory rate due primarily to the increase of the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax asset.

6. OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Other accrued liabilities consist of the following:


	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Prepayments from customers	$	750,186	$	376,565

7. TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

Effective July 1, 2020, the Company entered into the Technology Investment Agreement (TIA) with the U.S. government to expand the Company’s manufacturing capacity for hypodermic safety needles in response to the worldwide COVID-19 global pandemic. The award is an expenditure-type TIA, whereby the U.S. government has made payments to the Company for the Company’s expenditures for equipment and supplies related to the expansion. The Company’s contributions under the terms of the TIA include providing facilities, technical expertise, labor and maintenance for the TIA-funded equipment for a ten-year term. In May of 2021, the Company and the U.S. government amended the TIA agreement to include two additional assembly lines and additional controlled environment space.

The Company has received all equipment, has completed all property construction required by the TIA, and all reimbursement requests have been submitted. No further amounts for expansion under the TIA are expected to be submitted or collected.

At the request of the US government, the TIA was transferred to a successor agreement, identified as Other Transaction Agreement in April 2023. Such agreement contains no additional requirements, and, for the purposes of this report, the agreement shall continue to be referred to herein as the “TIA”. The successor agreement governs ongoing terms established by the TIA until June 30, 2030, which includes maintenance of equipment, availability of capacity, and US government preference in the event of a public health emergency.

Under the TIA, reimbursable amounts are reflected as Other long-term liabilities on the Balance Sheets until the time the deferred income can be systematically amortized over a period matching the useful life of the purchased assets. Other long-term liabilities from the TIA were $60,918,499 and $63,872,553 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May19, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement resolving all claims and causes of action in Cause No. DC-19-17946, Retractable Technologies, Inc. v. Locke Lord LLP, et al., in the 44th District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the "Lawsuit"). The Lawsuit had alleged various claims in connection with legal representation of the Company in its previous litigation against Becton, Dickinson and Company. Neither the Company nor the defendants admitted liability or damages. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company received $1.9 million, dismissed all claims and causes of actions against the defendants with prejudice, and exchanged mutual releases with the defendants.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Company operates in a single reportable segment, referred to as safety medical syringes and other safety medical devices. The business is managed by the chief executive officer who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM evaluates segment performance based on operating income (loss) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The accounting policies of our single reportable segment are the same as those for the Company as a whole.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We have been manufacturing and marketing our products since 1997. Syringes comprised 68.8% of our sales in the first six months of 2025. EasyPoint^®products accounted for 27.6% and other products, including our IV safety catheter and blood collection products, were 3.6% of our sales in the first six months of 2025. The significant increase in unit sales of our EasyPoint^®needle products for the first six months of 2025 positively affected our overall net revenues, but the lower selling price attributable to the products resulted in a reduction of the total average selling price for the periods presented.

Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally and internationally through numerous distributors. Some of our popular syringe products provide low dead-space. Low dead-space syringes reduce residual medication remaining in the syringe after the dose has been administered. In some instances, the low dead-space allows for additional doses of medication to be obtained from the vials.

On September 13, 2024, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) revealed final adjustments to increase tariffs on certain goods imported from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Among those products included were syringes and needles, at a rate of 100%. In April 2025, an additional imposition of tariffs at a rate of 145% went into effect on products imported from China. The April 2025 tariff rate applies to our non-syringe and non-needle products, and is in addition to the 100% tariffs on syringes and needles. On May 12, 2025 and effective on May 14, 2025, the tariff rate has been reduced to 30% as a baseline to replace the 145% rate announced in April. The announcement was part of a 90-day agreement while the U.S. and China negotiated a broader deal on trade and tariffs. As a result, and until a final trade deal has been announced, Management believes the tariff rate on needles and syringes imported from China will be 130% and the remaining products we import will be 30%. As foreign trade policy continues to evolve and as new trade deals are being negotiated, uncertainty as to future tariff rates and affected products remains. Tariffs are expected to have a continuing material impact to our results of operations and financial position.

While we have manufacturing capabilities to manufacture most of the products we currently sell domestically, some of our products are sourced exclusively from China. 62% and 91% of the products we obtained in the six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, were purchased from our manufacturers in China, most of which are now impacted by the tariffs. Tariffs are expected to have a material impact to our results of operations and financial position. Approximately $2.1 million was spent on tariff expenses in the first six months of 2025. We are working to lessen the financial impact of the tariffs, including shifting a larger portion of manufacturing of 1mL, 3mL, and EasyPoint^® needles to our domestic manufacturing facility. This shift would decrease tariff expenses but would lead to an increase in our manufacturing workforce costs as we hire new employees. The cost of increasing our manufacturing workforce was estimated to be approximately $3.8 million annually in combined wages and employee benefits. In connection with allocating more resources to domestic manufacturing, in April 2025, we reduced our workforce (predominantly employees engaged in general and administrative functions) by approximately 7%. The reduction is expected to save an estimated $1.6 million in annual wages and benefits, or approximately 7.8% of total estimated workforce costs. The expected savings was offset by one-time separation payments of approximately $300 thousand to the affected workers.

Subsequent to June 30^th, we reduced our manufacturing and manufacturing support workforce by approximately $1.6 million on an annualized basis. The reduction comes as we intend to reduce our labor costs as we improve manufacturing.

We have recently adapted some equipment to increase our domestic manufacturing capabilities. The adaptations to existing equipment will allow us to produce 0.5 mL syringes domestically. Once operational, we will no longer rely on imports for these products. We expect that commercial quantities will be available in the second half of 2025.

Certain products must be purchased from third party suppliers as we do not currently have the machinery to manufacture our entire product line in our U.S. facility. When equipment was added to our U.S. facility pursuant to the TIA, it was strictly for product lines typically used in the administration of vaccines, as required by the TIA.

Table of Contents

In 2020 and 2021, we were awarded significant orders and contracts by the U.S. government for safety syringes for COVID-19 vaccination efforts. From 2020 through the first quarter of 2022, the U.S. government was a significant customer. We cannot predict whether any future U.S. government orders may occur.

Recent additions of manufacturing equipment and facilities under the 2020 TIA have increased our production capacity and our overhead costs. Under the TIA and its successor agreement, until June 30, 2030 we must continue to abide by ongoing terms which include maintenance of equipment, availability of capacity, and US government preference in the event of a public health emergency.

The U.S. government orders as well as the TIA are material events particular to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not indicative of future operations.

Over the past several years, we have experienced certain cost increases in raw materials. Those costs primarily affected our domestic manufacturing because the finished goods we purchased from China were subject to a long-term fixed price contract. Sensitivity to cost fluctuations are likely to become more pronounced as we transition away from production under such a fixed price contract. Other factors that could affect our unit costs include tariffs, supplier cost increases, increases in workforce costs associated with increased domestic production, and changing production volumes. Increases in costs may not be recoverable through price increases of our products.

We believe domestic customers retained products provided for vaccination purposes in inventory. Customers have reported that demand was diminished due to their remaining syringe inventory. It is difficult to estimate how much, if any, of the remaining inventory might still remain in the market.

As detailed in Note 4 to the financial statements, we held $30.0 million in debt and equity securities as of June 30, 2025, which represented 20.4% of our total assets.

Historically, unit sales have increased during the flu season. From 2020-2022, seasonal effects of the flu season on our revenues were less impactful due to the dramatic increase in sales attributable to COVID-19 vaccinations. Seasonal trends for syringe sales may now be following pre-pandemic patterns. Additionally, there may be more demand for EasyPoint^® products during the flu season, particularly in the retail pharmacy market. Purchases from our retail pharmacy customers may differ from purchasing patterns of general line distributors. Second quarter EasyPoint^® sales volumes increased primarily for this reason.

Overall demand may be affected by public sentiment and acceptance of the safety and efficacy of vaccinations. While some products in our catalog of products are unrelated to the administration of vaccines, changes in the acceptance of vaccinations could have a material impact on our business.

A material portion of our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is comprised of approximately $5.6 million in unrealized loss in debt and equity securities on the Condensed Statements of Operations.

As detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements, we received a settlement payment of $1.9 million in May 2025.

In 1995, we entered into a license agreement with Thomas J. Shaw for the exclusive right to manufacture, market, and distribute products utilizing his patented automated retraction technology and other patented technology. This technology is the subject of various patents and patent applications owned by Mr. Shaw. The license agreement generally provides for quarterly payments of a 5% royalty fee on gross sales of products subject to the license and he receives fifty percent (50%) of the royalties paid to us by certain sublicensees of the technology subject to the license.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion may contain trend information and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from our historical results of operations and those discussed in any forward-looking statements. All period references are to periods ended June 30, 2025 or 2024, as applicable. Dollar amounts have been rounded for ease of reading.

Table of Contents

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024

Domestic sales accounted for 81.3% and 83.2% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Domestic revenues increased 69.3%, while domestic unit sales increased 81.8%. Domestic unit sales represented 68.9% of total unit sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in unit sales did not translate into a proportional increase in domestic revenues, primarily due to a decrease in average selling price. The average selling price was impacted by product mix and higher transaction fees associated with distributor agreements. The average selling price reduction was significantly impacted by the increase in EasyPoint^®needle sales in relation to all products sold.

International revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 92.6% compared to the same period in 2024. However, average selling price per unit declined relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a shift in product mix. International sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 included Easy Point Needles sold at a discount to certain international customers which reduced the overall average selling price. There remains uncertainty regarding the timing of future international orders.

Overall, units sales increased 109.2%.

Cost of manufactured product increased 66.1% principally due to an increase in tariffs, additional period costs related to increased domestic production activities, and inventory write-downs related to certain product lots approaching their expiration dates. Royalty expense increased 39.4% primarily due to the increase in gross sales, slightly offset by a decrease in royalties payable to a shareholder under a sublicensing agreement.

Tariffs are expected to continue to materially increase our costs in future periods. Approximately $561 thousand was spent on tariff expenses in the second quarter of 2025. These costs are included in Cost of manufactured product.

Operating expenses decreased 6% primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2024.

The loss from operations was $5.1 million compared to a loss of approximately $5.8 million for the same period last year. The decreased loss was due to a decrease in bad debt expense.

The unrealized gain on debt and equity securities was $1.6 million due to the increased market values of those securities.

As detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements, we received a settlement payment of $1.9 million in May 2025.

The provision for income taxes was $1.8 thousand as compared to a provision for income taxes of $8.3 million for the same period in 2024. The difference is primarily related to fully reserving our deferred tax asset in the second quarter of 2024.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024

Domestic sales accounted for 85% and 85.5% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Domestic revenues increased 36.6%, while domestic unit sales increased 47.1%. Domestic unit sales represented 74.9% of total unit sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in unit sales did not translate into a proportional increase in domestic revenues, primarily due to a decrease in average selling price. The average selling price was impacted by product mix and higher transaction fees associated with distributor agreements. The average selling price reduction was significantly impacted by the increase in EasyPoint^®needle sales in relation to all products sold.

International revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 42.8% compared to the same period in 2024. However, average selling price per unit declined relative to the first half of 2024, primarily due to a shift in product mix. International sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included Easy Point Needles sold at a discount to certain

international customers which reduced the overall average selling price. There remains uncertainty regarding the timing of future international orders.

Overall, units sales increased 62.6%.

Cost of manufactured product increased 58.8% principally due to increased unit sales, an increase in tariff cost, additional costs related to an increase in domestic manufacturing activities, and inventory write-downs related to certain product lots approaching their expiration dates. Royalty expense increased 23.4% primarily due to the increase in gross sales, slightly offset by a decrease in royalties payable to a shareholder under a sublicensing agreement.

Tariffs are expected to continue to materially increase our costs in future periods. Approximately $2.1 million was spent on tariff expenses in the first six months of 2025. These costs are included in Cost of manufactured product.

Operating expenses decreased 5.2% primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense and legal and litigation fees.

The loss from operations was $9.8 million compared to a loss of approximately $8.7 million for the same period last year. The decreased loss was due to lower operating expenses, but was impacted by lower gross profit.

The unrealized loss on debt and equity securities was $5.6 million due to the decreased market values of those securities.

As detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements, we received a settlement payment of $1.9 million in May 2025.

The provision for income taxes was $288 thousand as compared to a provision for income taxes of $8.4 million for the same period in 2024. The difference is primarily related to fully reserving our deferred tax asset in the second quarter of 2024.

Discussion of Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items

Cash flow used by operations was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to a number of factors. Aside from the various reconciling items used in determining the overall use of cash, our net loss for the period was the predominant factor. We recognized approximately $3.0 million in other income from the TIA, offset by $5.6 million in unrealized loss in debt and equity securities which is material to the adjustments to total cash flow from operations. Changes in working capital also impacted cash flows from operating activities. Accounts receivable increased by $388 thousand, inventories increased nearly $1.9 million, and accounts payable decreased by $230 thousand.

Cash flow from investing activities was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting $5.0 million in proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities, partially offset by purchases of property, plant, and equipment and additional investments in debt and equity securities. The $5 million obtained as a result of the sale of securities was used to fund operating activities during the first six months of 2025.

Cash used by financing activities was $280 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to repayments of long-term debt and payment of preferred stock dividends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically funded operations primarily from the proceeds from revenues, private placements, litigation settlements, and loans. We may fund operations going forward from revenues, cash reserves, and investments in trading securities should the need to access those funds arise. As detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements, we received a settlement payment of $1.9 million in May 2025.

The imposition of tariffs on our products will continue to have a material effect on our operating results and liquidity. Additional capital improvements and increases to our manufacturing workforce will also increase expenses in the near-term as a result of the tariffs and our expected increase in domestic manufacturing. The conversion of existing

Table of Contents

equipment plus the purchase of additional molds to produce products which have never been produced domestically is expected to cost approximately $1 million, most of which has already been expended. Those products accounted for roughly 9.4% of our overall domestic unit sales and 16.0% of our domestic syringe unit sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The products accounted for roughly and 12.0% of our overall domestic unit sales and 17.3% of our domestic syringe unit sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The overall impact of additional workforce needed to produce these and other products is an increase of approximately $3.8 million on an annual basis, although the Company recently reduced its manufacturing and manufacturing support staff by approximately $1.6 million on an annual basis as we refine our manufacturing process and continue to evaluate our importing practices.

Margins

The mix of domestic and international sales, along with product mix, affects the average sales price of our products. Generally, the higher the ratio of domestic sales to international sales, the higher the average sales price will be. Additionally, product mix plays a role, with syringe sales typically having higher average selling prices and gross profit margins than our other product lines. Some international sales of our products are shipped directly from China to the customer. The number of units produced by us versus manufactured in China can have a significant effect on the carrying costs of Inventory as well as Cost of sales. Generally, an overall increase in units sold can positively affect our margins. The cost of raw materials used in manufacturing, transportation costs, and the impact of tariffs can also significantly affect our margins.

Our margins have experienced significant fluctuations over the past two years. Most recently, our margins have faced negative pressure from numerous factors. The tariffs enacted in 2024-2025 have had a direct negative impact on products we import from China to date. In reaction to the tariffs, we have acted to increase our domestic production and reduce, to the extent possible, our reliance on imports. While we believe these efforts will enable us to avoid some of the impact of the tariffs, we will be forced to import the products we are unable to produce in the U.S. As we work to increase our domestic production and achieve manufacturing efficiencies, we will continue to work to minimize our reliance on imported products.

Cash Requirements

We believe we will have adequate means to meet our short-term needs to fund operations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the financial statements. Besides cash reserves and expected income from operations, we also have access to our investments which may be liquidated in the event that we need to access the funds for operations. Expected short-term uses of cash include payroll and benefits, royalty expense, inventory purchases, tariffs, contractual obligations, payment of income taxes, quarterly preferred stock dividends, and other operational priorities. Our liabilities are our bank debt as set forth as Long-term debt on our Condensed Balance Sheets and other liabilities detailed herein in Note 6 to the financial statements. We believe we will have adequate means to meet our currently foreseeable long-term liquidity needs although the new tariffs and our costs related to an increase in domestic manufacturing will increase our expenses materially. For the next 1-3 years, we believe our liquidity will decline materially, but we expect that we may be able to satisfy our long-term cash requirements using a combination of cash and liquidation of our equity investments. If cash needs cannot be met using existing cash and investments, management would further reduce operational costs. In the event that the foregoing is insufficient, we may liquidate certain assets.

Capital Resources

To produce more units at our U.S. facility, we expect to spend approximately $1 million to purchase molds and convert domestic equipment, some of which has already been expended. While additional equipment expenditures may be necessary in the future, these near-term equipment expenditures were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2025.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We are responsible for developing estimates for amounts reported as assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Those estimates require that we

Table of Contents

develop assumptions of future events based on past experience and expectations of economic factors. Among the more critical estimates management makes is the estimate for customer rebates. The amount reported as a contractual allowance for rebates involves examination of past historical trends related to our sales to distributors and the related credits issued once our distributors have satisfied their contractual obligations. The estimate includes consideration of historical redemption rates, discount rates, a combination of estimated distributor inventories based on tracking information provided by the distributors or if known, inventory turnover rates. The establishment of a liability for future claims of rebates against sales in the current period requires that we have an understanding of the relevant sales with respect to product categories, sales distribution channels, and the likelihood of contractual obligations being satisfied. We examine the results of estimates against actual results historically and use the determination to further develop our basis for assumptions in future periods, as well as the accuracy of past estimates. Based on distributors’ purchasing and claiming rebates practices, we do not expect significant changes to the current inputs and assumption used in the estimate calculations. While we believe that we have sufficient historical data, and a firm basis for establishing reserves for contractual obligations, there is an inherent risk that our estimates and the underlying assumptions may not reflect actual future results. In the event that these estimates and/or assumptions are incorrect, adjustments to our reserves may have a material impact on future results. As of June 30, 2025, we estimate that the total potential future credits to be issued as a result of prior purchases which have not yet been claimed is $2.0 million. These credits are recognized as a liability and included in Accounts payable on the Condensed Balance Sheets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Management, with the participation of our President, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J. Shaw (the “CEO”), and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, John W. Fort III (the “CFO”), acting in their capacities as our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is: i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and ii) accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2024, Management concluded that a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting existed. Specifically, Management reported that the Company did not maintain the risk assessment and control activities components of the COSO framework regarding the effective documentation and evaluation of revenue contracts and the related revenue recognition accounting conclusions when entering into significant revenue contracts with customers. Since that time and during the first two quarters of 2025, the Company has implemented processes and procedures to incorporate risk assessment and evaluation of new customer contracts and modifications to existing contracts, to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of the components of revenue recognition and their impact on our financial statements.

The enhanced controls include defining and identifying risk thresholds, review of revenue transactions and contractual terms and obligations included in new or modified contracts with customers. The controls also include the review of such transactions and the evaluation of the appropriate accounting treatment under the guidance of ASC 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The revenue recognition assessment and conclusion of proper accounting treatment is documented, reviewed and approved by senior members of the Company’s accounting staff, including the

Table of Contents

Company’s CFO. Management believes that the enhanced review and approval process provides evidence of oversight and accountability in the process.

Other than the remediation efforts described above, there have been no changes during the second quarter of 2025 or subsequent to June 30, 2025, in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
