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, to design, develop, manufacture, and market 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 are the VanishPoint ® syringe in the 1cc, 3cc, 5cc, and 10cc sizes and blood collection tube holders. The Company has conducted preliminary clinical evaluations and worked with national distributors to encourage healthcare facilities to transition from the use of standard needle products to the VanishPoint ® products.

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 of 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 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 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. An additional allowance has been established based on a percentage of receivables outstanding. These provisions are 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.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using a standard cost method, which approximates average cost. Provision is made for any excess or obsolete inventories.

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

6

Table of Contents

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
Building	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 a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying assets.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist primarily of patents, a license agreement granting exclusive rights to use patented technology, and trademarks which are amortized using the straight-line method over 17 years.

Financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments approximates their recorded values.

Concentrations of credit risk

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 the 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.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized for sales to distributors when title and risk of ownership passes to the distributor, generally upon shipment. 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. 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 netted against individual distributors’ accounts receivable balances for financial reporting purposes. The

7

Table of Contents

resulting net balance is reflected in accounts receivable or accrued liabilities, as appropriate. 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 passes from the Company. Any product shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.

Reimbursed discounts

The Company receives reimbursed discounts from one of the settlement agreements reached in its federal antitrust lawsuit, Retractable Technologies, Inc. v. Becton Dickinson & Co. et al. Payments under the discount reimbursement program are recognized upon delivery of the product, provided collection is reasonably assured. Such amounts are presented in the Condensed Statements of Operations as a separate component of revenues.

Income taxes

The Company provides for deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). 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 basis differences reverse in future periods. Deferred tax assets are periodically reviewed for realizability. Valuation allowances are recorded when realizability of deferred tax assets is not likely.

Earnings per share

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share ,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings for the period (adjusted for any cumulative preferred dividends for the period) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents consisting of convertible preferred stock, stock options, and convertible debt. The potential dilution, if any, is shown on the following schedule.

Net income (loss)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 — $ (1,060,497	)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 — $ 6,372,070	$	(1,583,432	)	Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 — $ 4,265,179
Preferred dividend requirements	(376,770	)	(562,574	)	(758,115	)	(1,132,217	)
Earnings (loss) available to common shareholders	(1,437,267	)	5,809,496		(2,341,547	)	3,132,962

Average common and common equivalent shares outstanding—assuming dilution	23,251,998		26,766,714		23,227,831		23,248,713
Basic earnings per share	$ (0.06	)	$ 0.26	$	(0.10	)	$ 0.14
Diluted earnings per share	$ (0.06	)	$ 0.22	$	(0.10	)	$ 0.11

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has three stock-based director, officer, and employee compensation plans. The Company uses the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 “ Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “ Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” for all director, officer, and employee awards granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2001.

3. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) must be adopted by the Company by the first quarter of 2006. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and is evaluating option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model, to determine which model the Company will utilize upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective method. Management does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on the Company’s stock-based compensation expense.

8

Table of Contents

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs , an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing , to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage), should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. In addition, this Statement requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions in SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 151 on its financial statements.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

Raw materials	June 30, 2005 — $ 866,237	$	763,664
Finished goods	3,745,140		3,112,604
	4,611,377		3,876,268
Inventory reserve	(111,296	)	(97,319	)
	$ 4,500,081	$	3,778,949

5. INCOME TAX

The income tax benefit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, is primarily due to the carry back of net operating losses. The provision for income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 consists of state income taxes, net of the benefit of net operating losses carried forward. Federal income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 were fully offset by the benefit of net operating losses carried forward.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective August 1, 2005 the Company entered into a License Agreement with Baiyin Tonsun Medical Device Co., Ltd. (“BTMD”). The Company has granted to BTMD a limited exclusive license to manufacture and a limited exclusive right to sell syringes in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) having retractable needles that incorporate the Company’s technology for a term of three years. This License Agreement is subject to the Technology License Agreement dated June 23, 1995 between Mr. Thomas J. Shaw, the Company’s founder and CEO, as licensor and the Company, as licensee. Mr. Shaw will receive 5% of the licensing proceeds received by the Company.

BTMD has agreed to manufacture and sell these products in the PRC and to pay the Company a quarterly royalty of two and one-half cents per unit on 1/2 cc, 3 cc, and 5 cc syringes and a royalty of three and one-half cents per unit on 1 cc and 10 cc syringes. The Company anticipates the receipt of royalties beginning no later than the first contract year. The obligation to pay the royalties continues even if any and all of the patent rights in the PRC are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason.

The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the agreement if it has not received royalty payments for at least 25,000,000 units during 2006, 50,000,000 units in 2007 and 100,000,000 units per year for each year thereafter.

The Company had a reduction in staff of 18 employees effective August 11, 2005. In connection with the reduction in staff, terminated employees are eligible to receive severance benefits in the form of a one-time lump sum payment. The total amount of the severance benefits will not exceed $65,000.

On August 12, 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit styled, Retractable Technologies, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories Inc. in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The Company is alleging fraud and breach of contract in connection with the National Marketing and Distribution Agreement dated as of May 4, 2000 which was terminated on October 15, 2003. The Company is seeking damages which the Company estimates to be in millions of dollars in lost profits, out of pocket expenses and other damages. In addition, the Company is seeking punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and attorney’s fees. As of the date of the filing, the Company has accrued $1,419,760 in marketing fees payable to Abbott in connection with the above-mentioned National Marketing and Distribution Agreement.

OVERVIEW

We have been manufacturing and marketing our retractable syringe products into the marketplace since 1997. Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally through numerous distributors. However, we have been blocked from access to the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD who dominates the market. We continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts and innovative technology.

We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price. Our agreement with Double Dove, a Chinese manufacturer, has enabled us to increase manufacturing capacity with little or no capital outlay and provided a competitive manufactured cost. We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and greatly improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost. We are also marketing more products internationally.

Historically, unit sales have increased in the latter part of the year due, in part, to the demand for syringes during the flu season.

Comparison of Three Months Ended

June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004

Total sales were $5,015,818 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $4,293,537 for the same period last year, an increase of $722,281 or 16.8 percent. Domestic sales accounted for 96.9 percent and 96.1 percent of the revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. International sales accounted for the remaining revenues. Domestic revenues increased 17.8 percent and international revenues decreased 7.0 percent. Unit sales increased 17.2 percent. Domestic unit sales increased 19.7 percent and international sales decreased 16.6 percent. Domestic unit sales were 95.0 percent of total unit sales.

Gross profit declined $584,241 due primarily to higher cost product coming out of inventory and being replaced by lower cost product. Profit margins can fluctuate depending upon, among other things, the cost of product manufactured and the capitalized cost of product recorded in inventory. The lower unit cost in ending inventory at June 30, 2005 should have a positive effect on profit margins for the third quarter.

Operating expenses declined by $1,342,847 due principally to the reduction in legal fees attributable to the Company’s litigation with BD and NMT. Legal costs declined $1,638,630. Sales and marketing costs increased $114,000 due to hiring additional personnel in sales. The increase was mitigated by a reduction in consulting fees of $79,000. Research and development costs increased $84,000 principally due to development work on a new product. General and administrative costs were also affected by additional travel expense of $67,000.

Loss from operations decreased $758,606 or 29.5 percent due principally to the decreased litigation costs mitigated by lower profit margins.

Interest income increased $311,170 due to higher invested cash balances.

The tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was attributable to the loss carry backs. The tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was attributable to the state income taxes, net of the benefit of operating loss carry forwards.

Preferred dividend requirements decreased $185,804, or 33.0 percent due to conversions of Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

Weighted average common shares outstanding increased 4.6 percent due to the conversions.

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with cash making up 69.7 percent of total assets. Working capital was $55,966,734 at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $1,225,997 from December 31, 2004. The current ratio improved from 8.3 at December 31, 2004 to 10.1 at June 30, 2005. The quick ratio also improved from 7.4 to 8.7 from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. These all indicate a strong financial position.

Cash flows used by operating activities were $3,494,428, of which $2,089,000 was used for working capital items. Investing activities were primarily for the completion of the new building. Financing activities consisted of the final draw down of the construction loan from 1 st International Bank (“1 st International”). The Company began principal and interest payments on this loan in the first quarter.

Comparison of Six Months Ended

June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004

Total sales were $9,259,992 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $8,631,983 for the same period last year, an increase of $628,009 or 7.3 percent. Domestic sales accounted for 92.0 percent and 96.8 percent of the revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. International sales accounted for the remaining revenues. Unit sales increased 20.4 percent. Domestic unit sales were 85.9 percent of total unit sales six months ended June 30, 2005.

Gross profit declined $201,443 due primarily to higher cost product coming out of inventory and being replaced by lower cost product. Profit margins can fluctuate depending upon, among other things, the cost of product manufactured and the capitalized cost of product recorded in inventory. The lower unit cost in ending inventory at June 30, 2005 should have a positive effect on profit margins for the third quarter.

Operating expenses declined by $2,002,260 due principally to the reduction in legal fees attributable to the Company’s litigation with BD and NMT. Legal costs declined $2,469,000. Sales and marketing costs increased $192,000 due to hiring additional personnel in sales and additional travel and entertainment costs of $100,000. The increase was mitigated by a reduction in consulting fees of $108,000. Research and development costs increased $80,000 principally due to development work on a new product. General and administrative costs were also affected by additional accounting fees of $67,000 and lower stock option expense of $55,000.

Loss from operations decreased $1,800,817, or 39.0 percent due principally to the decreased litigation costs mitigated by lower profit margins.

Interest income increased $544,210 due to higher invested cash balances.

LIQUIDITY AND FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Historical Sources of Liquidity

We have historically funded operations primarily from proceeds from private placements, loans, and litigation efforts. We were capitalized with approximately $52,600,000 raised from six separate private placement offerings. We also funded operations through bank loans aggregating $12,910,000. We have received cash payments of $88,514,873 from litigation settlements through June 30, 2005. Additionally, through June 30, 2005, we have received $579,812 in discount reimbursements in cash from a litigation settlement.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

Margins and Market Access

In early 2004 we began to receive shipment of product under our agreement with Double Dove. We believe as we receive greater quantities our profit margins could increase provided we have market access. Margins tend to improve with additional sales and higher production levels. To achieve our break even quarter we would need minimal access to hospital markets which has been difficult to obtain due to the monopolistic marketplace which was the subject of our lawsuit against BD. We will continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts and innovative technology. We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price. We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and greatly improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost.

The mix of domestic and international sales affects the average sales price of our products. 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. Purchases of product manufactured in China will usually decrease the average cost of manufacture for all units as domestic costs, such as indirect labor and overhead, remain relatively constant. The number of units produced by the Company and manufactured in China can have a significant effect on the carrying costs of inventory as well as cost of sales. The average unit cost in the second quarter of 2005 is lower than the average unit cost in inventory at March 31, 2005. This is due to more units, in the aggregate, purchased and produced in the second quarter of 2005. Inventory was higher at June 30, 2005, compared to December 31, 2004, due to higher average costs mitigated by fewer units on hand. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriate mix of products manufactured domestically and those manufactured in China to achieve economic benefits as well as maintaining our domestic manufacturing capability.

We had a reduction in staff of 18 employees effective August 11, 2005. In connection with the reduction in staff, terminated employees are eligible to receive severance benefits in the form of a one-time lump sum payment. The total amount of the severance benefits will not exceed $65,000. Annual savings attributable to this staff reduction will be approximately $380,000.

Seasonality

Historically, unit sales have increased in the latter part of the year due, in part, to the demand for syringes during the flu season.

New Licensing Agreement

We entered into a License Agreement with Baiyin Tonsun Medical Device Co., Ltd. (“BTMD”) as of May 13, 2005, which was approved by the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on August 1, 2005. We have granted to BTMD a limited exclusive license to manufacture and a limited exclusive right to sell syringes in the PRC having retractable needles that incorporate our technology for a term of three years. This License Agreement is subject to the Technology License Agreement dated June 23, 1995 between Mr. Thomas J. Shaw, our founder and CEO, as licensor and the Company, as licensee. Accordingly, Mr. Shaw will receive 5% of the licensing proceeds we receive. BTMD has agreed to manufacture and sell these products in the PRC and to pay us a quarterly royalty of two and one-half cents per unit on 1/2 cc, 3 cc, and 5 cc syringes and a royalty of three and one-half cents per unit on 1 cc and 10 cc syringes. We anticipate the receipt of royalties beginning no later than the first contract year. The obligation to pay the royalties continues even if any and all of our patent rights in the PRC are found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason. We have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the agreement if we have not received royalty payments for at least 25,000,000 units during 2006, 50,000,000 units in 2007 and 100,000,000 units per year for each year thereafter.

Cash Requirements

Due to 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 event we continue to have only limited market access and cash generated from operations becomes insufficient to support operations, we would take cost cutting measures to reduce cash requirements. Such measures could result in reduction of units being produced, reduction of workforce, reduction of salaries of officers and other nonhourly employees, and deferral of royalty payments to Thomas Shaw.

External Sources of Liquidity

We executed a loan from 1 st International for $2,500,000 for financing of the warehouse. Principal and interest payments began in the first part of 2005. We have obtained several loans over the past six years, which have, together with the proceeds from sales of equities, enabled us to pursue development and production of our products. Currently we believe we could obtain additional funds through loans if needed. Furthermore, the shareholders previously authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares of a Class C Preferred Stock that could, if necessary, be authorized and used to raise funds through the sale of equity.

Pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K, disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information about market risk is required in the first annual report. Information relating to interim financial statements is not required until after the first fiscal year end in which Item 305 is applicable. Accordingly, we anticipate providing a quantitative and qualitative analysis regarding market risk in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2005.
