NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

Organization:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of Sharps Compliance Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sharps Compliance, Inc. of Texas (dba Sharps Compliance, Inc.), Sharps e-Tools.com, Inc. (“Sharps e-Tools”), Sharps Manufacturing, Inc., Sharps Environmental Services, Inc. (dba Sharps Environmental Services of Texas, Inc.) and Sharps Safety, Inc. (collectively, “Sharps” or the  “Company”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Business:  Sharps is a leading full-service provider of cost-effective management solutions for small quantity generators of medical waste, used healthcare materials and unused dispensed medications.  These solutions include Sharps® Recovery System™ (formerly Sharps Disposal by Mail System®), TakeAway Recovery System™, Complete Needle Collection and Disposal System™, TakeAway Environmental Return System™, Compliance TRACSM, Sharps Secure® Needle Collection and Containment System™, Pitch-It IV™ Poles, Trip LesSystem®, Sharps® Pump and Asset Return System, and Spill Kit TakeAway Recovery System™.

Concentration of Customers and Service Providers:  There is an inherent concentration of credit risk associated with accounts receivable arising from sales to its major customers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, one customer represented approximately 20% of revenues.  This customer represented approximately 13%, or $599 thousand, of the total accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2014.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, one customer represented approximately 22% of revenues. This customer represented approximately 25%, or $638 thousand, of the total accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2013. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, two customers represented approximately 30% of revenues. One of the customers was a major U.S. government agency which terminated January 31, 2012.  The Company may be adversely affected by its dependence on a limited number of high volume customers.

Currently, the majority of Sharps transportation is sourced with the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), which consists of delivering the Sharps® Recovery System™ (formerly Sharps Disposal by Mail System®) from the end user to the Company’s facility.  The Company also has an arrangement with United Parcel Service Inc. (“UPS”) whereby UPS transports the Company’s TakeAway Recovery System products from the end user to the Company’s facility. Sharps maintains relationships with multiple raw materials suppliers and vendors in order to meet customer demands and assure availability of our products and solutions. With respect to the Sharps Recovery System™ (formerly Sharps Disposal by Mail System®) solutions, the Company owns all proprietary molds and dies and utilize three contract manufacturers for the production of the primary raw materials. Sharps believes that alternative suitable contract manufacturers are readily available to meet the production specifications of our products and solutions.  The Company utilizes national suppliers such as Herman Packaging and R & D Molders for the majority of the raw materials used in our other products and solutions and international suppliers such as Ashoka Company for Pitch-It™ IV Poles.
