NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business of the Company

Retractable Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on May 9, 1994, and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets safety syringes and other safety medical products for the healthcare profession. The Company began to develop its manufacturing operations in 1995. The Company’s manufacturing and administrative facilities are located in Little Elm, Texas. The Company’s primary products with Notice of Substantial Equivalence to the FDA are the VanishPoint® 0.5mL insulin syringe; 1mL tuberculin, insulin, and allergy antigen syringes; the 3mL, 5mL, and 10mL syringes; the blood collection tube holder; the small diameter tube adapter; the allergy tray; the IV safety catheter; the Patient Safe® syringe; the Patient Safe® Luer Cap; and the VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of Management, reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the Company’s audited financial statements incorporated into its Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash, the proceeds subject to a stipulation (discussed elsewhere herein), money market accounts, and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable

The Company records trade receivables when revenue is recognized. No product has been consigned to customers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables. Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. This provision is reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms.

The Company requires certain customers to make a prepayment prior to beginning production or shipment of their order. Customers may apply such prepayments to their outstanding invoices or pay the invoice and

4

Table of Contents

continue to carry forward the deposit for future orders. Such amounts are included in Other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Balance Sheets and are shown in Note 5, Other Accrued Liabilities.

The Company records an allowance for estimated returns as a reduction to Accounts receivable and Gross sales. Historically, returns have been immaterial.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using actual average cost. The Company compares the average cost to the market price and records the lower value. Management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and in the distribution channel, estimated time to sell such inventory, the shelf life of inventory, and current market conditions when determining excess or obsolete inventories. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Cost includes major expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity and interest cost associated with significant capital additions. Gains or losses from property disposals are included in income.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Production equipment | 3 to 13 years
Office furniture and equipment | 3 to 10 years
Buildings | 39 years
Building improvements | 15 years
Automobiles | 7 years

Long-lived assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets using an assessment of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to such assets. In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts which are in excess of estimated gross future cash flows, the assets will be adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying assets.

The Company’s property, plant, and equipment primarily consist of buildings, land, assembly equipment for syringes, molding machines, molds, office equipment, furniture, and fixtures.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist primarily of intellectual property which is amortized using the straight-line method over 17 years.

Financial instruments

The Company estimates the fair market value of financial instruments through the use of public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, and other available information. Judgment is required in interpreting data to develop estimates of market value and, accordingly, amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on Management’s

5

Table of Contents

estimates, equals their recorded values. The fair value of long-term liabilities, based on Management’s estimates, approximates their reported values.

Concentration risks

The Company’s financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash balances, some of which exceed federally insured limits, are maintained in financial institutions; however, Management believes the institutions are of high credit quality. The majority of accounts receivable are due from companies which are well-established entities. As a consequence, Management considers any exposure from concentrations of credit risks to be limited.

The following table reflects our significant customers for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013:

|  | Three Months ended March 31, 2014 |  | Three Months ended March 31, 2013 |
Number of significant customers |  | 3 |  | 1 |
Aggregate dollar amount of net sales to significant customers |  | $3.0 million |  | $1.4 million |
Percentage of net sales to significant customers |  | 49.1% |  | 19.2% |

The Company manufactures syringes in Little Elm, Texas as well as utilizing manufacturers in China. The Company purchases most of its product components from single suppliers, including needle adhesives and packaging materials. There are multiple sources of these materials. The Company obtained roughly 53.3% and 70.8% of its finished products in the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the Company’s primary Chinese manufacturer. Other Chinese manufacturers produced 11.1% of the units produced, which units consisted of Patient Safe® syringes and catheters. In the event that the Company becomes unable to purchase products from its primary Chinese manufacturer, the Company would need to find an alternate manufacturer for its 0.5mL insulin syringe, its 2mL, 5mL, and 10mL syringes and its autodisable syringe, and increase domestic production for 1mL and 3mL syringes.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized for sales when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer, generally upon shipment. Under certain contracts, revenue is recorded on the basis of sales price to distributors, less contractual pricing allowances. Contractual pricing allowances consist of: (i) rebates granted to distributors who provide tracking reports which show, among other things, the facility that purchased the products, and (ii) a provision for estimated contractual pricing allowances for products that the Company has not received tracking reports. Rebates are recorded when issued and are applied against the customer’s receivable balance. Distributors receive a rebate for the difference between the Wholesale Acquisition Cost and the appropriate contract price as reflected on a tracking report provided by the distributor to the Company. If product is sold by a distributor to an entity that has no contract, there is a standard rebate (lower than a contracted rebate) given to the distributor. One of the purposes of the rebate is to encourage distributors to submit tracking reports to the Company. 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. Additionally, if it becomes clear that tracking reports will not be provided by individual distributors, the provision is further adjusted. The estimated contractual allowance is included in Accounts payable and deducted from revenues in the Statements of Operations. Accounts payable included estimated contractual allowances for $3,167,259 and $3,611,692 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The terms and conditions of contractual pricing allowances are governed by contracts between the Company and its distributors. Revenue for shipments directly to end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership pass from the Company. Any product shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.

Certain distributors have taken rebates to which they are not entitled, such as utilizing a rebate for products not purchased directly from the Company. Major customers said they have ceased the practices resulting in claiming non-contractual rebates. Rebates can only be claimed on purchases made directly from the Company. The Company has established a reserve for the collectability of these non-contractual rebate

6

Table of Contents

amounts. The expense for the reserve is recorded in Operating expense, General and administrative. The reserve for such non-contractual deductions is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. There has been no change to the reserve contractual rebates in the periods currently presented.

The Company’s domestic return policy is set forth in its standard Distribution Agreement. This policy provides that a customer may return incorrect shipments within 10 days following arrival at the distributor’s facility. In all such cases the distributor must obtain an authorization code from the Company and affix the code to the returned product. The Company will not accept returned goods without a returned goods authorization number. The Company may refund the customer’s money or replace the product.

The Company’s domestic return policy also provides that a customer may return product that is overstocked. Overstocking returns are limited to two times in each 12-month period up to 1% of distributor’s total purchase of products for the prior 12-month period. All product overstocks and returns are subject to inspection and acceptance by the Company.

The Company’s international distribution agreements do not provide for any returns.

Litigation proceeds and settlements

Proceeds from litigation are recognized when realizable. Generally, realization is not reasonably assured and expected until proceeds are collected; however, see Note 6, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, for a discussion of proceeds received from Becton Dickinson and Company (“BD”) pursuant to a stipulation in the patent infringement case Retractable Technologies, Inc. and Thomas Shaw v. Becton Dickinson and Company, Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-250, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.

Income taxes

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for recognition in the financial statements based on whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained based upon the technical merits of the position. Measurement of the tax position is based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company provides for deferred income taxes through utilizing an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting 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. Deferred tax assets are periodically reviewed for realizability. The Company utilized some of its net operating loss carry forwards in 2013 and paid Alternative Minimum Tax on its taxable income. The Company has established a valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset as future taxable income cannot be reasonably assured. Penalties and interest related to income tax are classified as General and administrative expense and Interest expense, respectively, in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) 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. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of the common stock deliverable pursuant to stock options or common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible debt. The calculation of diluted EPS excluded 2.0 million and 0.5 million shares of Common Stock underlying issued and outstanding stock options at March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. The potential dilution, if any, is shown on the following schedule:

Shipping and handling costs

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of Cost of sales in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Share-based compensation

The Company’s share-based payments are accounted for using the fair value method. The Company records share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Recent Pronouncement

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires, unless certain conditions exists, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is also permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11, effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INVENTORIES

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 19, 2010, final judgment was entered in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division for the Company which ordered that the Company recover $5,000,000 plus prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and ordered a permanent injunction for BD’s 1mL and 3mL Integra syringes until the expiration of certain patents. The permanent injunction was stayed for the longer of the exhaustion of the appeal of the district court’s case or twelve months from May 19, 2010. In June 2010, BD filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit appealing the final judgment entered on May 19, 2010. In July 2011, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the district court’s judgment that BD’s 3mL Integra infringed the Company’s ‘224 patent and ‘077 patent. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment that the 1mL Integra infringes the Company’s ‘244 and ‘733 patents. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit also affirmed the district court’s judgment that the ‘077 patent is not invalid for anticipation or obviousness. The Company had petitioned for a rehearing by all the judges of the Federal Circuit as to whether the three-judge panel properly construed the Company’s patent claim language in finding that the 3mL Integra did not infringe. The Company’s petition for rehearing by all of the judges of the Federal Circuit was denied with two dissents being issued. The Company filed a petition for certiorari asking the Supreme Court to review the matter. That petition was denied in January of 2013. On August 7, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order adopting the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and denying BD’s Rule 60 motion seeking a reduction in damages. On October 29, 2013, BD filed its Notice of Appeal of the August 7, 2013 order to the Federal Circuit. Oral argument for this appeal occurred on May 9, 2014. On September 30, 2013, the Company received payment of $7,724,826 (the “Judgment Amount”) from BD pursuant to a stipulation in this case. The stipulation provides that if, as a result of BD’s appeal of the District Court’s denial of BD’s Rule 60 motion, it is judicially determined that BD owes an amount less than the Judgment Amount, BD shall be entitled to restitution by the Company of any excess payment, with interest. Otherwise, the payment of the Judgment Amount shall constitute satisfaction of the patent infringement judgment and BD shall owe no further money damages to the Company in this case. The Judgment Amount has been reflected as a current liability in the Balance Sheets since the proceeds are not yet realizable.

In May 2010, the Company and an officer’s suit against BD in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division alleging violations of antitrust acts, false advertising, product disparagement, tortious interference, and unfair competition was reopened. The Company and an officer filed a Second Amended Complaint on July 23, 2010 setting forth additional detail regarding the allegations of BD’s illegal conduct. BD filed a motion to dismiss and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division denied that motion in part and granted it in part, granting the Company the right to re-plead certain allegations by May 13, 2011. The Company and an officer filed a Third Amended Complaint in May 2011, setting forth additional detail regarding the alleged illegal conduct by BD. Trial was initially set for February 2012. However, in January 2012 the parties agreed to a continuance to allow the petition for certiorari to be considered. As stated above, the petition was denied in January of 2013. A hearing to re-set a trial date in light of BD’s motion for continuance was held May 3, 2013. The trial commenced on September 9, 2013 in Tyler, Texas, and the jury returned its verdict on September 19, 2013, finding that BD illegally engaged in anticompetitive conduct with the intent to acquire or maintain monopoly power in the safety syringe market and engaged in false advertising under the Lanham Act. The jury awarded the Company $113,508,014 in

damages for the antitrust claim, which is subject to being trebled pursuant to statute. The Court conducted a hearing for post-trial motions in early 2014. Orders have not yet issued. BD has stated that it plans to appeal the verdict.

In September 2007, BD and MDC Investment Holdings, Inc. (“MDC”) sued the Company 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. The Company counterclaimed for declarations of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability of the asserted patents. 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. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division conducted a claims construction hearing on September 25, 2008 and issued its claims construction order on November 14, 2008. The case has been stayed pending resolution of the Company’s first filed case against BD described above. There has been no activity in this case since the stay.

The Company does not operate in separate reportable segments. The Company has minimal long-lived assets in foreign countries. Shipments to international customers generally require a prepayment either by wire transfer or an irrevocable confirmed letter of credit. The Company does extend credit to international customers on some occasions depending upon certain criteria, including, but not limited to, the credit worthiness of the customer, the stability of the country, banking restrictions, and the size of the order. All transactions are in U.S. currency.

8. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On July 10, 2012, the Company authorized a Common Stock repurchase plan structured to comply with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the plan, the Company purchased 83,097 shares in the first quarter of 2013. The plan was terminated effective August 30, 2013.

Pursuant to the Certificates of Designation, Preferences, Rights And Limitations of the Series I Class B and Series II Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company would have been prohibited from purchasing its Common Stock while dividends were in arrears. Therefore, to facilitate the Common Stock repurchase plan, the Company paid dividends on the Series I Class B Preferred Stock in the amount of $12,938 at each date on January 21, 2013 and April 22, 2013. The Company paid dividends to Series II Class B Preferred Stockholders in the amount of $44,675 on each of the same dates listed in the preceding sentence.

9. DIVIDENDS

On December 20, 2013 and April 1, 2014, the Board of Directors announced dividends on the Series I Class B Preferred Stock in the amount of $12,938 on each date which were paid on January 20, 2014 and April 21,

2014. The Company also announced and paid dividends to Series II Class B Preferred Stockholders in the amount of $44,675 on the same dates. See Note 8 for information about dividends paid during the term of the Stock Repurchase Program.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective May 9, 2014, the Company reduced its workforce by 13.7% in an effort to cut costs. The Company expects its compensation costs will be reduced in an amount exceeding $1 million annually. The Company expects to pay approximately $300 thousand in severance costs in the second quarter of 2014.

On April 11, 2014, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $535,224 to fund the purchase of manufacturing equipment. Such letter of credit is secured by funds held in a Company bank account.

Risk Factors in Part II. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We have been manufacturing and marketing our products since 1997. Safety syringes comprised 93.0% of our sales in the first quarter of 2014. We also manufacture and market the blood collection tube holder, IV safety catheter, and VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set. We currently provide other safety medical products in addition to safety products utilizing retractable technology. One such product is the Patient Safe® syringe, which is uniquely designed to reduce the risk of bloodstream infections resulting from catheter hub contamination.

Historically, unit sales have increased during the flu season. The decrease in domestic sales in the first quarter of 2014 may be attributable to the timing of the flu season and less national flu vaccination press coverage.

Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally and internationally through numerous distributors. Although we have made limited progress in some areas, such as the alternate care market, our volumes are not as high as they should be given the nature and quality of our products and the federal and state legislation requiring the use of safe needle devices. The alternate care market is composed of alternate care facilities that provide long-term nursing and out-patient surgery, emergency care, and physician services.

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.

We have reported in the past that our progress is limited principally due to exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD, the dominant maker and seller of disposable syringes. On September 19, 2013, a Texas jury returned a verdict in our litigation against BD, finding that BD illegally engaged in anticompetitive conduct with the intent to acquire or maintain monopoly power in the safety syringe market and engaged in false advertising under the Lanham Act. The jury awarded us $113,508,014 in damages for the antitrust claim, which is subject to being trebled pursuant to statute. The Court conducted a hearing for post-trial motions in early 2014. Orders have not yet issued. BD has stated that it plans to appeal the verdict. We have not received the $113,508,014 or any other amounts pursuant to the verdict in the aforementioned antitrust litigation against BD.

On September 30, 2013, we received payment of $7,724,826 (the “Judgment Amount”) from BD pursuant to a stipulation in the patent infringement case Retractable Technologies, Inc. and Thomas Shaw v. Becton Dickinson and Company, Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-250, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas,

11

Table of Contents

Marshall Division. The stipulation provides that if, as a result of BD’s appeal of the District Court’s denial of BD’s Rule 60(B)(5) motion, it is judicially determined that BD owes an amount less than the Judgment Amount, BD shall be entitled to restitution by us of any excess payment, with interest. Otherwise, the payment of the Judgment Amount shall constitute satisfaction of the patent infringement judgment and BD shall owe no further money damages to us in the patent infringement case. The Judgment Amount is included as cash on the balance sheet and shown as a liability on the balance sheet under “Litigation proceeds subject to stipulation”. The Judgment Amount is only related to the patent infringement portion of the claims against BD. We have determined not to use the Judgment Amount to fund operations until a final judgment is obtained on appeal.

In the first quarter of 2014, we took steps to decrease our non-litigation legal costs. We expect such costs to remain lower in the future. For the first quarter of 2014, our non-litigation legal costs were reduced by approximately $360 thousand. Additionally, effective May 9, 2014, we reduced our workforce by 13.7% in an effort to cut costs. We expect our compensation will be reduced in an amount exceeding $1 million annually. We expect to pay approximately $300 thousand in severance costs in the second quarter of 2014. In the future, if such cost cutting measures prove insufficient, we may reduce the number of units being produced, further reduce the workforce, reduce the salaries of officers and other employees, and/or defer royalty payments.

Section 4191 of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 in conjunction with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides for an excise tax of 2.3% on medical devices. At the present time the excise tax is applicable to domestic sales of our products, except those which are sold to exempt organizations. The majority of our sales are domestic and not in the retail market. The tax is imposed on sales, not profits. There is no assurance this tax can be passed along to our customers. We expect the impact of this tax to be approximately $750,000 in 2014.

On July 10, 2012, the Company authorized a Common Stock repurchase plan structured to comply with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plan was terminated effective August 30, 2013. Under the plan, we purchased a total of 722,920 shares of our Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Certificates of Designation, Preferences, Rights And Limitations of the Series I Class B and Series II Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, we would be prohibited from purchasing our Common Stock while dividends were in arrears. Therefore, to facilitate the Common Stock repurchase plan, we paid quarterly dividends on the Series I Class B and Series II Class B Preferred Stock during the term of the repurchase plan. Notwithstanding the termination of the repurchase plan, the Board of Directors have authorized dividends to be paid to the Series I Class B and Series II Class B Preferred Stockholders in successive quarters. Dividends were paid on November 11, 2013, January 20, 2014, and April 21, 2014, each in the cumulative amount of $57,613. These dividends may be suspended at any time by the Board of Directors.

Product purchases from our primary Chinese manufacturer have enabled us to increase manufacturing capacity with little capital outlay and have provided a competitive manufacturing cost. In the first quarter of 2014, our primary Chinese manufacturer manufactured approximately 53.3% of the units we produced. Other Chinese manufacturers produced 11.1% of the units produced, which units consisted of Patient Safe® syringes and catheters. In the event that we become unable to purchase products from our primary Chinese manufacturer, we would need to find an alternate manufacturer for the 0.5mL insulin syringe and the 2mL, 5mL, and 10mL syringes, and we would increase domestic production for the 1mL and 3mL syringes.

In 1995, we entered into a license agreement with Thomas J. Shaw for the exclusive right to manufacture, market, and distribute products utilizing automated retraction technology. This technology is the subject of various patents and patent applications owned by Mr. Shaw. The license agreement generally provides for quarterly payments of a 5% royalty fee on gross sales.

With increased volumes, our manufacturing unit costs have generally tended to decline. Factors that could affect our unit costs include increases in costs by third party manufacturers, changing production volumes, costs of petroleum products, and transportation costs. Increases in such costs may not be recoverable through price increases of our products.

The following discussion may contain trend information and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from our historical results of

operations and those discussed in any forward-looking statements. Dollar amounts have been rounded for ease of reading. All period references are to the periods ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table contains selected information from our condensed statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of revenue:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Cost of sales |  |  |  |  |  |

Net loss |  | (33.8 | )% |  | (19.7 | )%

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013

Sales

Domestic sales accounted for 82.0% and 80.0% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 13.7% principally due to lower sales volumes. Domestic unit sales decreased 11.9%. Domestic unit sales were 79.5% of total unit sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014. International unit sales and revenues decreased 42.7% and 24.1%, respectively. Overall unit sales decreased 20.6%.

Gross Profit and Cost of Sales

Gross profit decreased 37.9% primarily due to lower sales volume and increased unit cost of manufacture. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 28.5% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 38.7% in 2013 due to lower sales volumes and higher manufacturing costs.

The average cost of manufactured products sold per unit increased by 25.4% due to lower production volumes. Profit margins can fluctuate depending upon, among other things, the cost of manufactured product and the capitalized cost of product recorded in inventory, as well as product sales mix. The cost of manufactured products as a percentage of net sales was 63.3% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 53.5% in 2013 due to higher unit manufacturing costs. Royalty expense decreased 10.9% due to decreased gross sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased 10.4% or $430 thousand. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in General and administrative expenses, the largest of which were non-litigation legal costs, which decreased approximately $360 thousand, and donations of products to charity, which decreased approximately $142 thousand. An increase in compensation expense was offset by a decrease in Medical Device Excise taxes due to our establishment of a reserve for refunds for such taxes. Sales and marketing and Research and development expenses were relatively flat. The above table showing these expenses as a percentage of revenue shows a variation among periods, but this variation is primarily due to the fact that revenue was lower in the first quarter of 2014.

13

Table of Contents

Loss from Operations

Our operating loss was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss for the same period last year of $1.4 million due primarily to lower revenues and higher manufacturing costs.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes was (0.1)% and (0.1)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Discussion of Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows

Our balance sheet remains strong with cash making up 53.8% of total assets. Working capital was $18.8 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.4 million from December 31, 2013.

Approximately $2.7 million in cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was used by operating activities. Our cash balance was positively affected by the receipt of litigation proceeds subject to a stipulation (discussed elsewhere herein).

LIQUIDITY

At the present time, Management does not intend to raise equity capital. Due to the funds received from prior litigation settlements, we have sufficient cash reserves and intend to rely on operations, cash reserves, and debt financing as the primary ongoing sources of cash.

The note payable to Deutsche Leasing USA, Inc. in the original principal amount of $327,726 was paid in full in April 2014 and the note payable to Deutsche Leasing USA, Inc. in the original principal amount of $207,260 will be paid in full in November 2014. The monthly payment for the loan which matured in April was $9,900 and the monthly payment for the loan maturing in November is $6,300.

Historical Sources of Liquidity

We have historically funded operations primarily from the proceeds from revenues, private placements, litigation settlements, and loans.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

Margins and Market Access

To routinely achieve break even quarters, we need minimal access to hospital markets which has been difficult to obtain. We will continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, innovative technology, the introduction of new products, and, when necessary, litigation.

We continue to focus on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to reduce costs.

Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials and inventory and our ability to maintain favorable manufacturing arrangements and relationships could result in the need to manufacture all (as opposed to 35.6%) of our products in the U.S. This could temporarily increase unit costs as we ramp up domestic production.

The mix of domestic and international sales affects the average sales price of our products. Generally, the higher the ratio of domestic sales to international sales, the higher the average sales price will be. Typically international sales are shipped directly from China to the customer. Purchases of product manufactured in China, if available, usually decrease the average cost of manufacture for all units. The number of units produced by us versus manufactured in China can have a significant effect on the carrying costs of inventory as well as Cost of sales. We

14

Table of Contents

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.

Fluctuations in the cost of oil (since our products are petroleum based) and transportation and the volume of units purchased from our Chinese manufacturers may have an impact on the unit costs of our product. Increases in such costs may not be recoverable through price increases of our products. Reductions in oil prices may not quickly affect petroleum product prices.

Seasonality

Historically, unit sales have increased during the flu season.

Cash Requirements

Due to funds received from prior litigation settlements, we have sufficient cash reserves and intend to rely on operations, cash reserves, and debt financing as the primary ongoing sources of cash. In the first quarter of 2014, we took steps to decrease our non-litigation legal costs and we expect such costs to remain lower in the future. Additionally, effective May 9, 2014, we reduced our workforce by 13.7% in an effort to cut costs. In the future, if such cost cutting measures prove insufficient, we may reduce the number of units being produced, further reduce the workforce, reduce the salaries of officers and other employees, and/or defer royalty payments.

External Sources of Liquidity

We have obtained several loans from our inception, which have, together with the proceeds from the sales of equities and litigation efforts, enabled us to pursue development and production of our products. Furthermore, the shareholders previously authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares of a Class C Preferred Stock that could, if necessary, be designated and used to raise funds through the sale of equity. Due to the current market price of our Common Stock, it is unlikely we would choose to raise funds by the sale of equity.

On September 30, 2013, we received payment of $7,724,826 from BD pursuant to a stipulation (discussed elsewhere herein) in the patent infringement case Retractable Technologies, Inc. and Thomas Shaw v. Becton Dickinson and Company, Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-250, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. Such amount is included as cash on the balance sheet and shown as a liability on the balance sheet under “Litigation proceeds subject to stipulation”.

On September 19, 2013, a Texas jury returned a verdict in our litigation against BD, finding that BD illegally engaged in anticompetitive conduct with the intent to acquire or maintain monopoly power in the safety syringe market and engaged in false advertising under the Lanham Act. The jury awarded us $113,508,014 in damages for the antitrust claim, which is subject to being trebled pursuant to statute. The Court conducted a hearing for post-trial motions in early 2014. Orders have not yet issued. BD has stated that it plans to appeal the verdict. We have not received the $113,508,014 or any other amounts pursuant to the verdict in the aforementioned antitrust litigation against BD.
