OTHER EVENTS. AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. Effective February 27, 1998, the Registrant and Sharps Compliance, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Sharps"), with principal offices located at 8928 Kirby, Houston, Texas 77045, and all of the Stockholders of Sharps (the "Stockholders") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Sharps became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Registrant and the Stockholders agreed that all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sharps would be exchanged for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series A 10% Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, of Registrant (the "Preferred Stock"), such that each share of Sharps common stock outstanding on February 27, 1998, not to exceed 7,000,000 shares of Sharps common stock in the aggregate, was exchanged for .142858 shares of Preferred Stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). On February 23, 1998, Registrant filed its Certificate Of Designation, Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Series of the Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the closing of the Agreement, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to 35.190319 votes per share of Preferred Stock on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders of the Registrant, without any regard to classification or series. The Preferred Stock shall automatically and immediately be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Registrant, without any action or election on the part of the holder thereof, immediately after the Registrant has effected a one-for-five or greater reverse stock split of Registrant's common stock (the "Automatic Conversion Date"). The Holders of the Preferred Stock acknowledge that as of the date of the filing of the Certificate of Designation, the Registrant did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its common stock to effect a conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock. At the Automatic Conversion Date, each share of the Preferred Stock shall be converted into seven shares of the Registrant's common stock. Subject to stockholder approval its annual stockholder meeting, anticipated to be in April 1998, the Registrant has committed to effect a one-for-five or greater reverse split of its common stock, at which time the former stockholders of Sharps will own approximately 91% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Registrant. Sharps focuses exclusively on developing mail disposal services for medical sharps. Its services are provided primarily to generators of small amounts of medical waste to facilitate their compliance with state and federal regulations by tracking, incinerating and documenting the disposed medical waste. The Agreement and Certificate of Designation are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 4.1 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Certificate of Designation are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents. 2 Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

There shall be a series of Preferred Stock to be known as "Series A 10% Voting Convertible Preferred Stock" consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.01 per share (the "Shares"). Such shares shall constitute the entire Series A Preferred Stock, and no other shares of such Series shall be issued. B. DIVIDENDS. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if and when declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor, cash Appendix 1 dividends at the rate of $0.05 per share per annum, payable quarterly on the last day of the months April, July, October and January in each year. In the event a dividend is declared, but unpaid, such dividend shall accrue and be cumulative (whether or not in any quarterly dividends period there shall be funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividend) from the first day of July 1998 (unless such day is not a business day, in which event on the next business day), and thereafter from the date of the last quarterly dividend date to which dividends were declared and paid on the Preferred Stock of the Company. Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Company on the last day of the month next preceding the payment date thereof. Dividend on account of arrears for any past dividend periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular dividend payment date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding forty-five (45) days preceding the payment date hereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, of the Company or by a committee of said Board of Directors duly authorized to fix such date.

C. CONVERSION. The Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically and immediately be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, without any action or election on the part of the holder thereof, immediately after the Company has effected a one-for-five or greater reverse stock split of its Common Stock ("Automatic Conversion Date"). In addition, so long as the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock provided below. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock hereby acknowledge that as of the date hereof, the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unused shares of Common Stock to effect a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The term "Common Stock" shall refer to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share of the Company, as constituted on January 30, 1998, and any stock into which such Common Stock shall have been changed or any stock resulting from any reclassification of such Common Stock. 1.

At the Automatic Conversion Date, or upon the exercise of the option to convert described above, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into seven (7) shares of Common Stock, as adjusted and readjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof (the "Conversion Rate"). 2. METHOD OF CONVERSION. As soon as feasible, but in no event later than five (5) days, after the Automatic Conversion Date, the Company shall mail a notice to each holder of record of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock on the Automatic Conversion Date Appendix 1 of the occurrence thereof and informing each holder of the conversion and the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been converted. In the event the holder desires to exercise the option to convert, the holder shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same. The Company or its transfer agent shall also inform the holder of the procedures for exchanging the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock for certificates representing the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been converted. Until surrendered to the Company, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the conversion, represents shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will, following such conversion, be deemed for all corporate purposes of the Company to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been converted. After the Automatic Conversion Date there shall be no further registry of transfers on the records of the Company of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and if a certificate representing such shares is presented to the Company, it shall be canceled and exchanged for a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock as herein provided. 3. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any shares, share or fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock, including fractions thereof, issued upon conversion of shares (or fractions thereof) of Series A Preferred Stock by the holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of fractional shares. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the Closing Bid Price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq Bulletin Board on the Automatic Conversion Date multiplied by such fraction. D. VOTING. Prior to the Automatic Conversion Date, and except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to 35.190319 votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with Subsection E below, on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders of the Company, without any regard to classification or series.

F. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of any other class of stock which makes senior to the Preferred Stock as to distribution of assets on liquidation, but before any distribution is made on any class of stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets, the sum of $4.00 per share, plus any arrearages in dividends thereon. 6.
