NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
Note 1. Description of Business
Nature of Business
Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company that has acquired and designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Safegard Medical (Hungary) KFT, collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public
Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue or
cash flow from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company used cash in operations of $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of derivative liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2025, the most significant estimates relate to derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, which is placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions and at times exceeds federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.
Inventories
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory is comprised of raw materials, components and finished goods.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.
The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price or FMV using Black Sholes which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2
Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.
Level 3
Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and
equipment, molds, computer system and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset
is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building –
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset.
Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
The Company’s identified intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of
Stock-based Compensation Expense
The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For restricted stock awards, the estimated fair value is generally the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.
Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
At their issuance date and as of March 31, 2025, certain warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) are accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions
The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiary is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments related to its subsidiary. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Basic EPS in March 2024 included pre-funded warrants (reverse effected) (see Note 8). Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2025, there were stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.
The provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share, on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when applicable.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for both. The Company will adopt the new standard in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025 and is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the entity’s type of expenses into certain categories. The Company will adopt the new standard in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026 and is will evaluate the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sharps Technology, Inc.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects and plans and objectives of management. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risks set forth in our filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements are applicable only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview
Since our inception in 2017 and through the fourth quarter of 2022, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2022 we started building inventory of syringe products. To date, we have generated no revenue. We have reported net income of $1,982,834 and incurred a net loss of $(982,386) for the period three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Substantially all of our net operating losses and cash used in operations resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development efforts, payroll and consulting fees, stock compensation and general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including costs incurred for being a public company since April 14, 2022. See Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated any significant revenue from the sale of syringe products or cash flow from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $5,598,222 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to commercialize its products into a profitable business or raise sufficient financing. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of the close of the January 2025 Offering and concurrent repayment of an outstanding Note, the Company is debt free.
We classify our operating expenses as research and development, and general and administrative expenses. We maintain a corporate office located in Melville, New York, but employees and consultants in the US work remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely. In June 2020, in connection with the agreement to acquire Safegard, a syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary, which was completed on July 6, 2022, we were contractually provided the exclusive use of the facility for research and development and testing in exchange for payment of the seller’s operating costs, including among others, use of Safegard’s work force, utility costs and other services.

To remain competitive, we have built inventory since to secure orders we require commercial quantities of inventory with delivery expected shortly after orders are placed.
Products, Marketing and Sales
We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our disposable syringe and prefillable syringe products. We intend to market these products to the U.S. and foreign governments. We will also look to sell our disposable syringe products to hospitals and healthcare groups as opportunities present themselves. We have received an initial purchase order under a supply agreement (See Supply Agreement in Recent Developments).
The Sharps Securegard and Sologard product lines continues to represent our disposable syringe platform to be commercially available to the market.. These platforms have advanced features and benefits to support the needs of the market along with a high level of readiness for manufacturing and the ability to provide large commercial quantities for customers.
As previously disclosed, there continues to be delays in the commercialization of the Sharps Provensa product line. The product’s specialized technology requires further design and assembly optimization as identified in our previous commercialization efforts. This on-going product refinement process is typical of the development of new technology for the healthcare market to ensure the products are safe and effective for use every time. At this time Sharps is not able to determine a timeline for final commercialization of the Provensa product.
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities for our various syringe products. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our products to meet the market requirements for our Sharps syringe product line for its various intended uses throughout the world.

Recent Developments
January 2025 Offering
On January 29, 2025, the Company closed on an offering (the “2025 Offering”) and received gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million, before deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds were approximately $18.2M, of which $4.2M was used to repay the outstanding Notes (see Note 7).
The 2025 Offering consisted of 47,619 (pre reverse – 14,285,714) units consisting of 30,089 (pre reverse – 9,029,814) Common Units with gross proceeds of $12.6M and 17,520 (pre reverse – 5,255,900) Pre-Funded Units with gross proceeds of $7.4M. The public offering price per Common Unit was $420 (pre reverse $1.40) or $419.97 (pre reverse $1.3999) for each Pre-Funded Unit, which is equal to the public offering price per Common Unit sold in the offering minus an exercise price of $0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Common Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and each Pre-Funded Unit consisted of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. In addition, each Common Unit and Pre-Funded Unit included: (i) one Series A Registered Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock per warrant at an exercise price of $87.60 (pre reverse - $1.75 and after floor price adjustment upon stockholder approval to $0.292), (“2025 Series A Warrant”) and (ii) one Series B Registered Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock per warrant at an exercise price of $87.60 (pre reverse - $1.75 and after floor price adjustment upon stockholder approval to $0.292) (“2025 Series B Warrant”), collectively, the “2025 Warrants”. The 2025 Series B Warrant provides the holders with an alternative cashless exercise option, which if elected, each holder will receive three shares of Common Stock for each 2025 Series B Warrant cashless exercised. The 2025 Warrants provided for an adjustment of the original exercise price of $525 (pre reverse - $1.75) per warrant, down to an amount no less than a floor price of $87.60 (pre reverse - $0.292) per warrant upon stockholder approval. On March 28, 2025, the stockholders approved a reset and the exercise price of the 2025 Warrants was reduced to $87.60 (pre reverse - $0.292) per warrant and the number of warrants was increased so that the aggregate exercise price payable remains the same as the Offering date.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. Immediately after closing 16,603 (pre reverse – 4,980,900) of the Pre-Funded units were exercised and the Company received $498 in proceeds The underwriter, under an over- allotment option, purchased 7,143 (pre reverse- 2,142,857) 2025 Series A Warrants and 7,143 (pre reverse- 2,142,857) 2025 Series B Warrants for $0.0001 per Warrant
The 2025 Offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-284237) previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and declared effective by the SEC on January 27, 2025.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2023, with Nephron and Nephron’s InjectEZ, LLC, (collectively, the “Seller”). The September 22, 2023 agreement superseded the manufacturing and supply agreement entered into in connection with the NPC Agreement on September 29, 2022, and the Nephron Agreement entered into on September 29, 2022. The Amended Asset Purchase Agreement includes the purchase of certain assets. In connection with the Asset Purchase agreement, the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $1M to be held in escrow as a deposit on the purchase price. The Asset Purchase agreement stipulated that the $1M deposit would be maintained until July 19, 2024, at which date, if the contemplated transaction was not consummated, through no fault of the Seller, the escrow would be released to the Seller by the escrow agent. The escrow deposit of $1M was released to the Seller and recorded in Other Expense as a forfeited agreement cost in the three months ended June 30, 2024. As stated above, The Company and Seller continue to work towards a further amendment of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on obtaining further amendments and the necessary financing. There can be no assurance that the closing of the asset sale will occur.
Supply Agreement
On July 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Stericare Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Stericare”), pursuant to which Stericare agreed to purchase 520 million units of 10ml polypropylene (“PP”) Sologard syringes from the Company. The specific purchase price is confidential, but revenues are expected to exceed $50 million. Under the terms of the Agreement, Stericare has committed to purchasing 520 million units of 10ml PP Sologard syringes in the following increments: 40 million units in the first year, and 120 million units each year for the remainder of the Agreement’s term. The Agreement has an initial five (5)-year term, targeted to commence in November 2024 (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive one (1)-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless either party provides written notice of termination at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. To date, Sharps has used pilot tooling for initial material qualifications and concept product approvals. As part of the proceeds from the recent $20 million financing, the Company has placed orders for advanced production technology for Sologard and will soon begin installation and operational qualification for the next phase of the project with Stericare. On April 30, 2025, the Company received the initial purchase order under the Agreement for $400,000.

The proceeds from the 2024 fundraising efforts were utilized to further increase production capacity, build inventory, and support working capital requirements. A portion of the proceeds from the January 2025 offering will be allocated to expanding production capacity in Hungary, including the purchase of advanced machinery and other facility upgrades. This expansion will facilitate the fulfillment of Securegard and Sologard orders in connection with recently announced order with Stericare and ongoing activities with other European companies.
The Company is committed to driving revenue growth from both the Securegard and Sologard projects in 2025, as well as securing manufacturing capacity for the Company’s next generation polymer-based prefillable syringes. With the recent financing secured, the Company believes that it is positioned to advance its growth strategy by utilizing it’s working capital to support essential operating expenses. Production is currently on track, with the Company preparing for a transition to revenue in the second half of 2025, subject to the successful execution of its plans.
Nasdaq Compliance
On March 12, 2025, Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), was notified by the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as the bid price of its securities had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days. Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the rule. However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one. Further, on April 3, 2025, the Company”), was notified by the Staff of The Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing (the “Rule’) on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,996,129, at such time and the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
The Company presented its plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and the net worth requirements at the Hearing on April 29. 2025. In the interim, the Company’s common stock and warrants will remain listed on Nasdaq under its existing symbols, “STSS” and “STSSW” while it awaits the hearing and Panel decision.
On March 31, 2025, the Company’s reported stockholders’ equity is $10,135,328 and meets the continued listing requirement of $2,500,000.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The FMV adjustments, based on either the trading price or FMV of outstanding warrants classified as liabilities, could impact the operating results in the reporting periods.

Revenue
The Company has not generated any revenue to date.
Research and Development
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $82,016 compared to $197,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $115,423 was due to a) lower depreciation expense of $63,000 from the 2024 impairment of certain fixed assets used in R&D and b) lower R&D labor and consulting of $52,400 given the shift from R&D activities to manufacturing.
| 7 |
General and Administrative
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1,939,753 as compared to $1,646,613 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $293,140 was primarily attributable to an increase of $53,000 in payroll and related costs of: i) higher payroll by $131,700 from $850,745 in 2024 to $982,442 in 2025, primarily due to CEO bonus, attributed to the completion of the January 2025 equity offering, partially offset by headcount adjustments and labor cost allocation offset by ii) a decrease in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $78,700 from $123,000 in 2024 to $44,300 in 2025. All other G&A expenses increased $240,100 primarily due to higher; professional & legal fees ($153,700), public company and investor relation costs ($119,300), computer costs ($18,100), general operating costs ($11,200) and rent ($15,700), partially offset by lower; marketing costs ($3,000), travel ($1,400), insurance costs ($60,800), and patent fees ($11,300).
Net Interest expense (income)
Net Interest expense, was $626,991 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to interest income of $19,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest changed, by $646,014 due to a) interest earned on invested cash in 2025 of $81,399 as compared to $19,023 in 2024 b) interest expense of $708,390 for the accreted interest on the debt financing that originated in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to no interest expense during first quarter of 2024 (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
FMV Adjustment for Derivatives
The value of the Note Warrants requires the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) to be recorded at the date warrants are issued and then be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 the Company recorded a FMV gain adjustment of $4,618,889 to reflect the i) the net effect for the FMV loss on the January 2025 Offering date and remeasurement adjustments based on the change in FMV as of March 31, 2025 offset by ii) decrease in the Warrants liabilities outstanding as of December 31, 2024 due to change in FMV. At March 31, 2024, the FMV Gain was due to the change in FMV for the three months then ended (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had a cash balance of $11,894,937 and $864,041, respectively. The Company had working capital of $5,598,222 at March 31, 2025 as compared to a working capital deficiency of 2,011,679 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in our working capital of $7,609,901, after net proceeds from offerings in 2025 of $18.2M, was primarily related to the use of cash of $2,450,564 in operations, investing in fixed assets purchased or payments made under orders placed of $473,658 and cash used to repay the short-term Note of $4.2M. The Company intends to finance its future development and commercialization activities and its working capital needs with the recent offering proceeds and further with the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company is debt free (See Note 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
In 2024, the Company completed various offerings and private placements. (“Financings”) The proceeds from such Financings were used to fund working capital to build inventory, fund capital expenditure and operating costs.

Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
The Company used cash of $2,450,564 and $1,889,315 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring higher G&A expenses, increase in inventory partially offset by lower R&D activities, excluding non-cash items, as described above during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company used cash in investing activities of $473,658 and $2,852, respectively. In both periods cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for fixed assets. In 2025, the increase is directly attributed to the aforementioned capital requirements for fulfillment under the Stericare customer order and other future business opportunities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $13,953,031 and $396 respectively. In the 2025 period, the cash provided was from the $18.2M in net proceeds from the Offerings in January 2025 offset by the debt repayment of $4.2M. In the 2024 period, the cash provided was from exercise of warrants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company, we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.
We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile.
| 9 |
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time, we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.

On June 3, 2024, the Company filed an answer and affirmative defenses and counterclaim, which counterclaim is for damages that the Company believes would exceed the claims asserted by Plastomold, based on the insufficiency of Plastomold’s services and the results thereof, including the failure to provide machinery capable of reliably manufacturing the designated products in compliance with design specifications and functionality requirements, and with respect to which test results failed.
