<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;) 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.&#160;
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company records trade receivables when revenue
is recognized.&#160; No product has been
consigned to customers.&#160; The Company&#146;s
allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific
trade receivables.&#160; Those accounts that
are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance.&#160; An additional allowance has been established
based on a percentage of receivables outstanding.&#160; These provisions are reviewed to determine
the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.&#160; Trade receivables are charged off when there
is certainty as to their being uncollectible.&#160;
Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been
made within contract terms.</font></p>

Judgment is required in interpreting data to develop estimates of market

of which exceed federally insured limits, are maintained in financial
institutions; however, Management believes the institutions are of high credit
quality.&#160; The majority of accounts
receivable are due from companies which are well-established entities.&#160; As a consequence, Management considers any
exposure from concentrations of credit risks to be limited.</font></p>

title and risk of ownership passes to the distributor, generally upon
shipment.&#160; Revenue is recorded on the
basis of sales price to distributors, less contractual pricing allowances.&#160; Contractual pricing allowances consist of: (i)&nbsp;rebates
granted to distributors who provide tracking reports which show, among other
things, the facility that purchased the products, and (ii)&nbsp;a provision for
estimated contractual pricing allowances for products that the Company has not
received tracking reports.&#160; Rebates are
recorded when issued and are applied against the customer&#146;s receivable
balance.&#160; The provision for contractual
pricing allowances is reviewed at the end of each quarter and adjusted for
changes in levels of products for which there is no tracking report.&#160; Additionally, if it becomes clear that
tracking reports will not be provided by individual distributors, the provision
is further adjusted.&#160; The estimated
contractual allowance is netted against individual distributor&#146;s accounts
receivable balances for financial reporting purposes.&#160; The resulting net balance is reflected in
accounts receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate.&#160; The terms and conditions of contractual
pricing allowances are governed by contracts between the Company and its
distributors.&#160; Revenue for shipments
directly to end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership pass from
the Company.&#160; Any product shipped or
distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.</font></p>

its standard Distribution Agreement.&#160;
This policy provides that a customer may return incorrect shipments
within 10 days following arrival at the distributor&#146;s facility.&#160; In all such cases the distributor must obtain
an authorization code from the Company and affix the code to the returned

Laboratories (&#147;Abbott&#148;), the Company paid marketing fees until the Company
terminated the contract for breach.&#160; The
contracted services were to include participation in promotional activities,
development of educational and promotional materials, representation at trade
shows, clinical demonstrations, inservicing and training, and tracking reports
detailing the placement of the Company&#146;s products to end-users.&#160; Marketing fees were accrued at the time of
the sale of product to Abbott.&#160; These
fees were paid after Abbott provided the Company a tracking report of product
sales to end-users.&#160; These costs were
included in Sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Statements of
Operations.&#160; No marketing fees have been
accrued since October&nbsp;15, 2003, the date the National Marketing and
Distribution Agreement with Abbott was terminated.&#160; The Company filed suit against Abbott in August&nbsp;2005</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company provides for deferred income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;109, <i>Accounting
for Income Taxes</i> (&#147;SFAS 109&#148;).&#160;
SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes 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.&#160;
Deferred tax assets are periodically reviewed for realizability.&#160; The Company had sufficient taxable income
from prior carryback years to realize all of its taxable losses through December&nbsp;31,
2006.&#160; Taxable losses for 2007 and
thereafter are subject to loss carryforwards.&#160;
The Company has established a valuation allowance for its net deferred
tax asset as future taxable income cannot be reasonably assured.&#160; Penalties and interest on uncertain tax
positions are classified as income taxes in the Condensed Statements of
Operations.</font></p>

standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.&#160; Basic earnings per share is computed 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.&#160; The Company&#146;s potentially
dilutive Common Stock equivalents, consisting of options, convertible debt and
convertible Preferred Stock, are all antidilutive for the three and nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007.&#160;
Accordingly basic loss per share is equal to diluted earnings per share.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April&nbsp;2008, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued FASB Staff Position (&#147;FSP&#148;) FAS 142-3, &#147;<i>Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets</i>&#148;.&#160; This FSP amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No.&nbsp;142,
&#147;<i>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</i>&#148;
(&#147;SFAS 142&#148;).&#160; The intent of this FSP is
to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the
fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP.&#160; This FSP is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December&nbsp;15,
2008.&#160; Early adoption of the standard is
prohibited. &#160;FAS 142-3 is effective on January&nbsp;1,
2009.&#160; We are currently evaluating the
impact of FAS 142-3, and have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the
adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have on the Company&#146;s financial statements.</font></p>

Abbott&#146;s unsuccessful attempt to get the case dismissed and ordered to
arbitration, Abbott filed an answer and counterclaim on July&nbsp;15, 2008,
alleging several breaches of contract, breach of implied warranty of
merchantability, and breach of express warranty, seeking in excess of
$6,000,000 in compensatory damages as well as seeking attorneys&#146; fees.&nbsp;
The Company denies the validity of Abbott&#146;s counterclaims.&nbsp; Some discovery

Occupational and Medical Innovations Limited (&#147;OMI&#148;) in Federal Court of
Australia, alleging that two letters written to OMI by outside counsel
contained unjustified threats of patent infringement, but seeking no
damages.&nbsp; OMI later amended its complaint to seek a declaratory judgment
that OMI does not infringe Australian Patent No.&nbsp;701878, again seeking no
damages.&nbsp; Following a one-day trial in June&nbsp;2007, the Court held that
one of the two letters written by outside counsel contained a threat of patent
infringement, and awarded costs to OMI in an amount that has not yet been
determined.&nbsp; Following a one-day trial in June&nbsp;2008, the Court issued
a declaratory judgment in August&nbsp;2008 stating that OMI&#146;s syringe does not
infringe the Australian patent no. 701878 but also awarding costs to the
Company.&#160; The amount of costs to be
awarded will be determined at a later date.</font></p>

of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging infringement of three patents (5,578,011;
5,632,733; and 6,090,077) and violations by BD of the federal and state
antitrust laws, and of the Lanham Act.&nbsp; The Company subsequently dropped
the 5,578,011 patent allegations from the lawsuit.&#160; The Company and an officer, a co-plaintiff,
are seeking injunctive relief, unspecified monetary damages and reimbursement
of attorneys fees in the suit.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for non-infringement and
invalidity of the asserted patents.&nbsp; In January&nbsp;2008, the Court
severed the patent claims from the other claims pending resolution of the
patent dispute, which is set for trial in March&nbsp;2009. In April&nbsp;2008,
the Company and that same officer sued BD in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging infringement of
another recently issued patent (7,351,224), and seeking injunctive relief,
unspecified monetary damages (including treble damages) and reimbursement of
attorneys fees.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for non-infringement and invalidity of
the asserted patent.&nbsp; The Company and officer moved to consolidate this
case with the other patent case against BD that was pending in Marshall and the
Court granted the Company&#146;s motion, consolidating this case with the
above-stated case filed in June&nbsp;2007.</font></p>

7,090,656) that are licensed to BD. BD and MDC seek injunctive relief and
unspecified damages.&nbsp; The Company counterclaimed for declarations of
non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the asserted
patents.&nbsp; The plaintiffs subsequently dropped allegations with regard to
patent no. 7,090,656 and the Company subsequently dropped its counterclaims for
unenforceability of the asserted patents.&#160;
The Court conducted a claims construction hearing on September&nbsp;25,

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company had a licensing agreement with Baiyin
Tonsun Medical Device Co., Ltd. (&#147;BTMD&#148;) which expired on May&nbsp;13,
2008.&#160; As a result of the expiration of
the contract, the Company recognized $100,000 of prepaid royalty income as
other income in the second quarter of 2008.&#160;
The Company is in the process of negotiating a new agreement.&#160; Royalties that were expected in 2007 were not
received due to the time needed to build the factory, assembly equipment, and
the related infrastructure as well as the need of BTMD to meet the requisite
Chinese government requirements.&#160; The
facility has been completed and BTMD is in the process of meeting Chinese
governmental requirements.&#160; Although
successful completion of an agreement cannot be assured, the Company still
continues to expect royalty payments although it is unable to predict the date
it will begin to receive such royalties.&#160;
The Company should begin earning royalties once Chinese government
requirements are met and BTMD is able to produce and sell products.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">OVERVIEW</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have been manufacturing and marketing our
products into the marketplace since 1997.&#160;
We currently provide other safety medical products in addition to safety
syringe products.&#160; One such product, the
Patient Safe&#153; Syringe, which reduces the risk of infection resulting from IV
contamination, entered the market in 2008. Safety syringes comprised 98.6% of
our sales in the first nine months of 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our products have been and continue to be
distributed nationally through numerous distributors.&#160; However, we have been blocked from access to
the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD, who dominates the
market.&#160; We believe that its monopolistic
business practices continue despite its paying $100 million in 2004 to settle a
prior lawsuit with us for anticompetitive practices, business disparagement,
and tortious interference.&#160; Although we
have made limited progress in some areas, such as the alternate care and international
markets, our volumes are not as high as they should be given the nature and
quality of our products, the federal and state legislation requiring the use of
safe needle devices, and various Senate Subcommittee hearings on Group
Purchasing Organizations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We continue to pursue various strategies to have
better access to the hospital market, as well as other markets, including
attempting to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, our
innovative technology, introduction of new products, and, when necessary,
litigation.&#160; We are also marketing more
product internationally.&#160; Beginning in
2004, we were given an award (from PATH) to supply syringes to various African
countries.&#160; Awards increased significantly
from 2004 to 2007.&#160; However, currently
funding is uncertain for this program.&#160; Despite
the loss of these orders, thus far we have managed to maintain international
sales volumes.&#160; Additionally, an
Australian distributor was awarded a one-year contract in March&nbsp;2007 to
supply our VanishPoint<sup>&#174;</sup> automated retraction syringes to all of
Queensland Health&#146;s 202 acute care facilities.&#160;
Queensland Health is a department within the government of Queensland,
Australia.&#160; The contract was renewed for
an additional two years.&#160; VanishPoint<sup>&#174;</sup>
products are distributed in Australia by Brisbane-based Scientific Educational
Supplies Pty Ltd.&#160; The number of
international distributors continues to increase.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the event we continue to have only limited market
access and the cash provided by the litigation settlements and generated from
operations becomes insufficient, we would take cost cutting measures to reduce
cash requirements.&#160; Such measures could
result in the reduction of units being produced, the reduction of workforce,
the reduction of salaries of officers and other nonhourly employees, and the
deferral of royalty payments.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are focusing on methods of upgrading our
manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to reduce costs.&#160; We believe our current capitalization
provides the resources necessary to implement some of these changes and improve
our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Product purchases from Double Dove, a Chinese
manufacturer, have enabled us to increase manufacturing capacity with little
capital outlay and have provided a competitive manufactured cost.&#160; Double Dove manufactured, in the first nine
months of 2008, approximately 71.1% of the units we produced.&#160; These purchases have improved profit margins
in spite of limited revenues.&#160; The cost
of production per unit has generally declined as volumes increased.&#160; Double Dove increased the prices in the fourth
quarter to us by $0.005 per unit.&#160;
Product cost reductions could be adversely affected by increased
material and transportation costs.&#160; We
believe we could make up any long-term disruption in these supplies by
utilizing more of the capacity at the Little Elm facility, except for the 0.5
cc insulin syringe, the 5cc and 10cc syringes, and the autodisable syringe
which altogether comprised about 1.1% of our third quarter 2008 revenues.</font></p>

have generally tended to decline.&#160;
Factors that could affect our unit costs, in addition to Double Dove&#146;s

the average sales price of our products.&#160;
Generally, the higher the ratio of domestic sales to international
sales, the higher the average sales price will be.&#160; Typically international sales are shipped
directly from China.&#160; Purchases of
product manufactured in China, if available, usually decrease the average cost
of manufacture for all units as domestic costs, such as indirect labor and
overhead, remain relatively constant.&#160;
Double Dove has increased their prices to us by $0.005 per unit.&#160; The number of units produced by the Company
versus manufactured in China can have a significant effect on the carrying
costs of inventory as well as Cost of sales.&#160;
We will continue to evaluate the appropriate mix of products
manufactured domestically and those manufactured in China to achieve economic
benefits as well as to maintain our domestic manufacturing capability.&#160; Currently, approximately 28.9%<b>  </b>of our products are produced domestically.</font></p>

are petroleum based) and transportation and the volume of units purchased from
Double Dove may have an impact on the unit costs of our product.&#160; Increases in such costs may not be
recoverable through price increases of our products.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We had a Licensing Agreement with BTMD which expired
on May&nbsp;13, 2008.&#160; As a result of the
expiration of the contract, we recognized $100,000 of prepaid royalty income in
the second quarter of 2008 as other income.&#160;
We are in the process of negotiating a new agreement.&#160; Royalties that were expected in 2007 were not
received due to the time needed to build the factory, assembly equipment, and
the related infrastructure as well as the need of BTMD to meet the requisite
Chinese government requirements.&#160; The facility
has been completed and BTMD is in the process of meeting Chinese government
requirements.&#160; Although successful
completion of an agreement cannot be assured, we still continue to expect
royalty payments, although we are unable to predict the date we will begin to
receive such royalties.&#160; We should begin
earning royalties once Chinese government requirements are met and BTMD is able
to produce and sell products.</font></p>

market access and cash generated from operations becomes insufficient to
support operations, we would take cost cutting measures to reduce cash

in the reduction of units being produced, the reduction of workforce, the
reduction of salaries of officers and other nonhourly employees, and the

Abbott in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas,
Texarkana Division.&nbsp; We are alleging fraud and breach of contract in
connection with the National Marketing and Distribution Agreement dated as of May&nbsp;4,
2000, which was terminated on October&nbsp;15, 2003.&nbsp; We are seeking
damages which we estimate to be in millions of dollars of lost profits, out of
pocket expenses, and other damages.&nbsp; In addition, we are seeking punitive
damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorney&#146;s fees.&nbsp; Following
Abbott&#146;s unsuccessful attempt to get the case dismissed and ordered to
arbitration, Abbott filed an answer and counterclaim on July&nbsp;15, 2008,
alleging several breaches of contract, breach of implied warranty of
merchantability, and breach of express warranty, seeking in excess of
$6,000,000 in compensatory damages as well as seeking attorneys&#146; fees.&nbsp; We
deny the validity of Abbott&#146;s counterclaims.&nbsp; Some discovery has already
taken place (related to the hearings addressing the prior motion to compel
arbitration) and additional discovery is underway.&#160; The District Court has issued a scheduling
order calling for trial in January&nbsp;2010.</font></p>

and Medical Innovations Limited (&#147;OMI&#148;) in Federal Court of Australia, alleging
that two letters written to OMI by outside counsel contained unjustified
threats of patent infringement, but seeking no damages.&nbsp; OMI later amended
its complaint to seek a declaratory judgment that OMI does not infringe
Australian Patent No.&nbsp;701878, again seeking no damages.&nbsp; Following a
one-day trial in June&nbsp;2007, the Court held that one of the two letters
written by outside counsel contained a threat of patent infringement, and
awarded costs to OMI in an amount that has not yet been determined.&nbsp;
Following a one-day trial in June&nbsp;2008, the Court issued a declaratory
judgment in August&nbsp;2008 stating that OMI&#146;s syringe does not infringe our
Australian patent no. 701878 but also awarding costs to us. &#160;The amount of costs to be awarded will be
determined at a later date.</font></p>

District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging
infringement of three patents (5,578,011; 5,632,733; and 6,090,077) and
violations by BD of the federal and state antitrust laws, and of the Lanham
Act.&nbsp; We subsequently dropped the 5,578,011 patent allegations from the
lawsuit.&#160; We and Thomas J. Shaw, a
co-plaintiff, are seeking injunctive relief, unspecified monetary damages and
reimbursement of attorneys fees in the suit.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for
non-infringement and invalidity of the asserted patents.&nbsp; In January&nbsp;2008,
the Court severed the patent claims from the other claims pending resolution </font></p>

Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging infringement of another
recently issued patent (7,351,224), and seeking injunctive relief, unspecified
monetary damages (including treble damages) and reimbursement of attorneys
fees.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for non-infringement and invalidity of the
asserted patent.&nbsp; We moved to consolidate this case with the other patent
case against BD that was pending in Marshall and the Court granted our motion,

Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;MDC&#148;) sued us in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division, initially alleging that the
Company is infringing two U.S. patents of MDC (6,179,812 and 7,090,656) that
are licensed to BD. BD and MDC seek injunctive relief and unspecified
damages.&nbsp; We counterclaimed for declarations of non-infringement,
invalidity and unenforceability of the asserted patents.&nbsp; The plaintiffs
subsequently dropped allegations with regard to patent no. 7,090,656 and we
subsequently dropped our counterclaims for unenforceability of the asserted
patents.&#160; The Court conducted a claims
construction hearing on September&nbsp;25, 2008 but has not ruled.&#160; No trial date has been set.</font></p>

initially sued us and BD in the United States District Court for the District
of South Carolina, Greenville Division, alleging infringement of a MedSafe
patent (6,074,370) and seeking injunctive relief and unspecified monetary
damages.&nbsp; We counterclaimed for declarations of non-infringement,

District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, alleging that
OMI has infringed two U.S. patents that are not at issue in the Australian
litigation (6,572,584 and 7,351,224).&nbsp; We also allege theft of
confidential information, intentional interference with contracts and engaging
in false advertising that wrongfully disparages and mischaracterizes our
syringe products.&nbsp; We further allege that OMI made false allegations
regarding the source of origin of its safety syringe products being offered in
the U.S. We seek injunctive relief, unspecified damages (including treble
damages) and reimbursement of attorneys fees in the suit.&nbsp; OMI has
counterclaimed against us, seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement
and invalidity of our asserted patents.&nbsp; OMI is not seeking monetary
damages.&nbsp; Trial is set for December&nbsp;2009 and discovery is commencing.</font></p>

to exchange underwater stock options for new options to be granted under the
2008 Stock Option Plan.&#160; The Exchange
Offer will terminate on November&nbsp;18, 2008, unless extended.&#160; Any new options granted will allow the
purchase of one half the number of shares underlying the underwater options and
such new options will have exercise prices equal to the higher of: (1)&nbsp;the

Committee charter primarily, among other things, to reduce the independence
requirements for committee members and to clarify that the committee serves as

Previously, the independence requirements included satisfying
inapplicable and unnecessarily restrictive standards such as those for the
Audit Committee members (no related party transactions at all) as well as

notice, by any Director or shareholder. The notice shall be given to each
shareholder, either personally or by prepaid mail. If mailed, such notice shall
be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to
the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the
Corporation, with postage thereon paid. With the consent of a shareholder,
notice from the Corporation may be given to that shareholder by electronic
transmission.&#160; The shareholder may
specify the form of electronic transmission to be used to communicate
notice.&#160; The shareholder may revoke this
consent by written notice to the Corporation.&#160;
The consent is deemed to be revoked if the Corporation is unable to
deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices and the person
responsible for delivering notice on behalf of the Corporation knows that
delivery of these two electronic transmissions was unsuccessful, provided,
however, that the inadvertent failure to treat the unsuccessful transmissions
as a revocation of consent does not invalidate a meeting or other action.&#160; Notice by electronic transmission is deemed
given when the notice is (A)&nbsp;transmitted to a facsimile number provided by
the shareholder for the purpose of receiving notice; (B)&nbsp;transmitted to an
electronic mail address provided by the shareholder for the purpose of receiving
notice; (C)&nbsp;posted on an electronic network, and a message is sent to the
shareholder for the purpose of alerting the shareholder of a posting; or (D)&nbsp;communicated
to the shareholder by any other form of electronic transmission consented to by
the shareholder.</p>
