SHARPS COMPLIANCE CORP. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER OF
FISCAL YEAR 2004 RESULTS

HOUSTON, Texas, (November 3, 2003) — Sharps Compliance Corp. and subsidiaries (OTC BB: SCOM) (“Sharps” or the “Company”), leading providers of cost-effective medical waste disposal solutions for industry and consumers, announced its operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company generated revenues of $2.0 million which was virtually flat when compared to the prior year first quarter revenue.

The Company realized an improved gross margin of 39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 versus a gross margin of 33% for the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

The Company reported an operating loss of $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an improvement over the operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 of $0.2 million.

Regarding the results, Dr. Burt Kunik, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Sharps Compliance Corp. stated, “Although, the revenues for the quarter were slightly below our expectations, we are very pleased with the significant improvement in our gross margins to the near 40% level as well as the narrowing of our quarterly operating loss. This improved performance is a direct result of our refocus on pricing, operational efficiencies and an aggressive cost reduction program.”

Kunik added, “We are extremely focused on closing a number of sales opportunities in the industrial, commercial and other markets during the fiscal year 2004. Revenue from these opportunities is a critical component to our fiscal year 2004 Plan expectations. Additionally, our Plan reflects the continuing improvement in our gross margins as well as stability in our quarterly overhead. Achievement of the above should result not only in revenue growth but also significantly improved bottom-line performance.”

In September 2003, the Company announced the completion of a $500,000 private placement of 625,000 of the Company’s common stock.

In closing, Kunik stated, “We are very pleased with the recent completion of the $500,000 common stock equity raise. These funds along with our current credit arrangement are expected to be utilized not only to fund working capital but also the planned growth of the business”.
