NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 1. Description of Business Nature of Business Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Safegard Medical, Inc, collectively referred to as the “Company.” The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (the “interim statements”) are unaudited. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $ 14.2 million on April 19, 2022. (See Note 8) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s most significant, difficult, and subjective judgment include the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, contingent stock liability, contingent warrant liability, warrant liability, inventory obsolescence provision, depreciation of fixed assets and deferred tax asset valuation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions. Inventories The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, inventory is comprised of raw materials and components. 6 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value. The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods. Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment. Level 3 Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and equipment, molds and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building – 20 years, Machinery and Equipment – 3 - 10 years and Website – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. There were no impairment losses recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 7 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets Goodwill When applicable, goodwill will be recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company proceeds to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company first determines the fair value of a reporting unit using weighted results derived from an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is estimated through the discounted cash flow method based on assumptions about future conditions such as future revenue growth rates, new product and technology introductions, gross margins, operating expenses, discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and other assumptions. The market approach estimates the fair value of the Company’s equity by utilizing the market comparable method which is based on revenue multiples from comparable companies in similar lines of business. The Company then compares the derived fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Identified Intangible Assets The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value. Stock-based Compensation Expense The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For restricted stock awards, the estimated fair value is generally the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured. Derivative Instruments The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. 8 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) At their issuance date and as of September 30, 2022, the warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) were accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiary is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2022 and 2021. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at September 30, 2022, there were 10,552,773 stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented. Income Taxes The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period. The provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. 9 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Contingencies From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these estimates in each accounting period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the loss contingency and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). The Company does not recognize gain contingencies until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform . ASC Topic 848 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. ASC Topic 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt arrangements, contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective upon issuance for all entities and elections of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance. On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share , on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company continues to assess all potential impact of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes. The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Note 4.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 5. Asset Acquisition In June 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Safegard Medical (“Safegard”) and amendments to the Agreement, collectively, the Agreements, to purchase either the stock or certain assets of a manufacturing facility for $ 2.5 M in cash, plus additional consideration of 28,571 shares of common stock with an estimated fair market value of $ 7.00 , 35,714 stock options with an exercise price of $ 7.00 and 10,000 stock options with an exercise price of $ 4.25 . At July 6, 2022, the fair market value of the common stock of $ 200,000 and the vested options of $ 183,136 is included in the acquisition price. The Agreements provided the Company various periods for due diligence and post due diligence, requirements for escrow payments through the closing date (“Closing Date”). Through the Closing Date, the Agreements provided the Company with the exclusive use of the facility in exchange for payment of the facility’s operating costs. The monthly fee (“Operating Costs”), which primarily covered the facility’s operating costs, was mainly comprised of the seller’s workforce costs, materials and other recurring monthly operating cost. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had remitted $ nil (2021 - $ 250,000 ) and $ 683,000 (2021 - $ 770,000 ), respectively for the aforementioned Operating Costs. The remittance of operating costs was discontinued after the Closing Date. These costs were included in research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as the activities at the facility in 2022 and 2021 were related to design and testing of the Company’s products. The acquisition of Safegard, which closed on July 6, 2022, was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50 by using the cost accumulation model. The cost of the acquisition was $ 2,936,712 , including transaction costs of $ 53,576 , with the allocation to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis derived from a third-party asset valuation performed. The intangible relate to permits and a limited workforce acquired. Under ASC 805-50, no goodwill is recognized. The operating results for Safegard are included in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss after the closing on July 6, 2022. The relative fair value of the assets acquired is as follows: Schedule of fair value of the assets acquisition Land $ 220,000 Building and affixed assets 2,391,000 Machinery 154,000 Inventory 109,000 Intangibles 62,712 Total $ 2,936,712 The useful lives for the acquired assets is Building - 20 years; Machinery – 5 years; Intangibles – 5 years. The related depreciation and amortization is being recorded on a straight-line basis. Note 6. Other Assets Other assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows: Schedule of Other Assets September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Acquisition (see Note 5) $ - $ 472,701 Intangibles 55,426 - Deposits on machinery and molds (see Note 15) 111,013 - Other 22,262 57,162 Other assets $ 188,701 $ 529,863 Intangibles are related to the Asset Acquistion (see Note 5) that occurred in July 2022. Intangibles, as of September 30, 2022, consist of an acquired workforce and permits. Amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $ 3,136 . 11 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with three unrelated third-party purchasers (“Purchasers”). The Purchasers provided financing to the Company in the form of bridge financing, aggregating principal of $ 2,000,000 (the “Notes”). The principal under the Notes shall be payable on the earlier of (i) December 14, 2022, and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”), herein referred to as the “Maturity Date”. The Notes bear interest at 8 % with interest payments due monthly. The Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Security Agreement whereby the Notes are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, both tangible and intangible both currently owned with stated exclusions, as defined, and any future acquired with stated exclusions, as defined. The NPA provides for covenants that until all of the Notes have been converted, exchanged, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, a) incur or guarantee any new debt, b) issue any securities that would cause a breach or default under the NPA, c) incur any liens other than permitted, d) redeem or repurchase shares, e) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution, e) sell, lease or dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business or f) engage in different line of business. As additional consideration to the Purchasers for providing the financing, the Company also agreed to a) issue each Purchaser a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note (the “Contingent Stock”) and b) issue each Purchaser a number of warrants, which would allow the Purchasers to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note for a term of 5.0 years (the “Contingent Warrants”) . For both the Contingent Stock and the Contingent Warrants, the number of shares and warrants that each Purchaser will be issued is unknown at the time of the NPA and will be determined based on a formula of 50% of the original principal amount divided by a “Subsequent Offering Price” based on the valuation in a future offering of Common stock or other equity interest in the Company (such offering referred to as a “Consummated Offering”) during the period beginning on December 14, 2021 through and including the date the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”) (such period referred to as the “Subsequent Offering Period”). In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, a fixed monetary amount exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Stock that may be issued to each Purchaser. The Contingent Stock is not considered outstanding at inception, as it will only be issued upon the consummation of a Consummated Offering, and accordingly, is a conditional obligation. As such the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Contingent Stock at inception was $ 677,000 , which was recorded as debt discount. Similarly, a fixed monetary amount further exists in inception for the total value of Contingent Warrants that may be issued to each Purchaser. Accordingly, a conditional obligation exists and as such the FMV of Contingent Warrants at inception was $ 585,000 , which has been recorded as debt discount. The Company incurred $ 197,500 of debt issuance costs associated with the NPA. The debt issuance costs were allocated between the Notes, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants in a manner that was consistent with the allocation of the proceeds of the Notes. The portion of the debt issuance costs which were allocated to the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants, which was $ 124,460 , was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The debt issuance costs allocated to the Notes were recorded as a debt discount. The Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance (based on the Black-Scholes valuation model). At inception, the Notes were recorded at the net amount of approximately $ 665,000 , after adjusting for debt discounts of approximately $ 1,335,000 relating to the debt issuance costs, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. Management calculates the effective interest rate (“EIR”) to consider the potential repayment at redemption date by reference to the face value amount after taking into account the stated 8 % interest rate. In 2022, through the repayment date, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 39,111 (2021 - $ nil ) and accreted interest of $ 1,299,895 (2021 - $ nil ) and repaid the $ 2,000,000 Notes with proceeds from the IPO that closed on April 19, 2022. The Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation model. 12 SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 (Unaudited) Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement (continued) The value of the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants is required to be re-measured at FMV at each reporting date, using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or other valuation method, with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 480, Debt and Equity. On April 19, 2022, the Company issued 235,295 shares of Common Stock to settle the Contingent Stock liability, re-measured the liability at its estimated FMV based on the stock’s trading price and reclassified $ 496,000 to Common Stock Par Value and Additional Paid in Capital. In connection with the closing of the IPO, 235,295 Contingent Warrants (“Note Warrants”) with an exercise price of $ 4.25 . were issued. The terms of the Note Warrants continue to require classification as a liability under ASC 815 with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 480 Debt and Equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a FMV income adjustment of $ 502,648 to reduce the Warrant liability from $ 585,000 at December 31, 2021 to $ 82,352 at September 30, 2022.

The estimated FMV was classified as additional issuance costs. Note 9. Preferred Stock In February 2018, the Company Board of Directors issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to Alan Blackman, the Company’s co-founder and Director. The Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to vote on any matters related to the election of directors and was reduced from 50.1 % at December 31, 2021 to 25 %, effective with the IPO. Subequently, the Company approved a change to 29.5% with all other rights unchanged.

The Service Agreement, which has a term of one year, has various deliverables and provides payments to the third party as follows; a) an initial fee of $ 90,000 , b) monthly fees through the term of $ 12,500 , c) 200,000 shares of restricted common stock and d) $ 300,000 specifically related to digital marketing activities. The initial fee and the first monthly fee have been paid and the aforementioned common shares have been issued subsequent to September 30, 2022. 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our final prospectus or the Prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Act), on April 15, 2022. The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects and plans and objectives of management.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sharps Technology, Inc. Overview Since our inception in 2017, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products. To date, we have generated no revenue. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,457,794. Our net loss was $2,398,123 and $3,790,090 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Substantially all of our net loss resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development efforts, payroll and consulting fees, stock compensation, general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including costs incurred for being a public company since April 14, 2022. See below Initial Public Offering, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We classify our operating expenses as research and development, and general and administrative expenses. We maintain a corporate office located in Melville, New York, but employees and consultants work remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely. In June 2020, in connection with the agreement to acquire Safegard, a former syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary, which was completed on July 6, 2022, we were contractually provided the exclusive use of the facility for research and development and testing in exchange for payment of the seller’s operating costs, including among others, use of Safegard’s work force, utility costs and other services. In order to compete in the market, we must build inventory. Commercial quantities of inventory are required to secure orders. Delivery is expected shortly after receiving orders. Research and Development Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities for our various syringe products. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of: ● Manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; ● Consulting fees paid and stock compensation expense for our Chief Technology Officer; ● Operating costs paid to Safegard, including among others, for use of Safegard’s work force, utilities and other services, relating to the facility being utilized and materials purchased on our behalf; and ● Third-party costs, including engineering incurred for development and design. Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our product to meet the market requirements for our Sharps Provensa product line for its various intended uses throughout the world. 18 Initial Public Offering On April 13, 2022, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263715), as amended, related to our initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the SEC, and our common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq on April 14, 2022. Our IPO closed on April 19, 2022. Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company used net proceeds to repay the Note Payable of $2 million. Recent Development On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “NPC Agreement”) with Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”) and various affiliates of NPC, including InjectEZ, LLC, that we believe will provide multiple future opportunities for the Company. The NPC Agreement is for a period of four (4) years, expiring on September 28, 2026, and continues thereafter for successive one (1) year periods. The NPC Agreement is intended to support several areas of the Company’s development and growth. The Company and NPC intend to supplement the NPC Agreement by entering into a manufacturing supply agreement, a pharma services program to support growth, and a future agreement to support manufacturing expansion. The manufacturing and supply agreement will be focused on the development and manufacture of high value pre-fillable syringe systems that can be utilized by Nephron which are highly sought after by the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical markets, with projected product supply beginning in mid-2023. The syringe lines will utilize highly automated equipment and controlled environments established by Nephron. These premium offerings will be made from what we believe are the highest quality raw materials, on the most innovative technology. These products will be compliant with the USP standards required in the United States, as well as the EP and JP international standards. The products that the Company and Nephron intend to develop and commercialize are designed to provide solutions to support Nephron’s current fill/finish strategies, as well as their pipeline of new drug applications, and sets forward a strategy to support branded pharma and advanced therapies including ophthalmic and biologic applications. Our seasoned understanding of pharma fill/finish processes and equipment and strong connections with preferred component suppliers and large pharmaceutical companies sets the groundwork for an effective market strategy in partnership with Nephron. The Company’s collaboration will include the creation of a Pharma Services Program (PSP) designed to support Healthcare customers that need innovative solutions and products to support their business. This program will create new business development growth opportunities for both companies. We believe that these opportunities for the Company will include the development and sale of next generation drug delivery systems for Nephron products, the healthcare industry, and pharmaceutical markets. The development of the program will help create new fill/finish project opportunities that will utilize innovative packaging solutions developed by the Company. These new customer projects will help create a future pipeline of growth for both companies working together. Initial, and currently confidential, projects have been identified and will be further developed through the collaboration efforts of Nephron and the Company. The opportunity to create new innovative technologies to support Nephron and the healthcare industry would be transformative for the Company and its future. The Company will be working with Nephron on plans for future expansion, innovation, collaboration and building for long-term success. To further support the planned growth for the Pharma Services Program, we will be working to expand our U.S. operations in South Carolina with the help of NPC. This expansion may include the construction of an additional manufacturing facility, located on the Nephron campus, that would be focused on the manufacture of specialized drug delivery technologies to support Nephron and the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Through this plan of accelerated expansion, we believe that the Company will be able to deliver increased capacity, driving growth and ultimately, profitability for the high value products’ segment of our business. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Standards This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The FMV adjustments, based on the trading price of outstanding warrants classified as liabilities, could impact the operating results in the reporting periods. 19 Results of Operations – three months ended September 30, 2022 Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Change Change % Research and development $ 457,627 $ 355,891 $ 101,736 29 % General and administrative 1,339,448 985,390 354,058 36 % Interest expense (income) (11,332 ) (33 ) (11,299 ) FMV loss adjustment for derivatives 635,283 - 635,283 Foreign currency (gain) (8,007 ) - (8,007 ) Other (14,896 ) - (14,896 ) Net income (loss) $ (2,398,123 ) $ (1,341,248 ) $ 1,056,875 79 % Revenue The Company has not generated any revenue to date. Research and Development For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased to $457,627 compared to $355,891 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $101,736 was due to increased R&D costs incurred at Safegard for labor $129,000 and other R&D costs $66,000, which commenced after the acquisition on July 6, 2022. In addition, we had increases in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $118,000 which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021. We had decreases in stock compensation and consulting related fees of $24,000. The aforementioned changes were offset by the decrease in the Safegard operating cost of $250,000 in the three months ending September 30, 2021 which were incurred prior to the acquisition. The operating costs primarily related to the use of Safegard’s workforce, utility costs incurred and other services. The facility, since June 2020 and following the acquisition, has been used for further development, production of current prototype samples and related testing. General and Administrative For the three months ended September 30, 2022, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1,339,448 as compared to $985,390 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $354,058 was primarily attributable to increases in: i) payroll and consulting fees of $214,000 from $208,000 in 2021 to $422,000 in 2022, primarily due to increased amounts of payroll and increased staffing, including seven additional staff members relating to the Safegard acquisition ii) decrease in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $342,000 from $606,000 in 2021 to $264,000 in 2022. In addition, we had increases in G&A in the three months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $482,000 principally from increased marketing and promotion ($51,000), professional fees ($50,000), travel ($52,000), board fees ($18,000), insurance ($180,000), public company and investor relations related ($40,000), rent and office expenses ($61,000) and other ($30,000). Interest expense (income) Interest income was $11,332 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to interest income of $33 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense increased due interest earned on cash from the IPO proceeds. FMV Adjustment for Derivatives The value of the Note Warrants requires the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) to be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $635,283 FMV loss to reflect the increase in the Note Warrants and Warrants liabilities issued with the IPO. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) 20 Results of Operations – nine months ended September 30, 2022 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Change Change % Research and development $ 1,520,870 $ 1,198,966 $ 321,904 27 % General and administrative 4,401,158 1,868,342 2,532,816 136 % Interest expense / (income) 1,334,612 (724 ) 1,335,337 FMV gain adjustment for derivatives (3,443,647 ) - (3,443,647 ) Foreign currency (gain) (8,007 ) (8,007 ) Other (14,896 ) - (14,896 ) Net loss $ 3,790,090 $ 3,066,584 $ 738,403 24 % Revenue The Company has not generated any revenue to date. Research and Development For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased to $1,520,870 compared to $1,198,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $321,904 was due to increased R&D costs incurred at Safegard for labor $129,000 and other costs $65,000, which commenced after the acquisition on July 6, 2022. In addition, we had increases in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $271,000 which had commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021. We had decreases in stock compensation and consulting fees of $36,000 and decreases in other R&D costs of $132,000. The aforementioned changes were offset by the increase in the Safegard operating cost of $25,000 from $550,000 in 2021 to $575,000 in 2022, incurred prior to acquisition. The operating costs primarily related to the use of Safegard’s workforce, utility costs incurred and other services. The facility, since June 2020 and following the acquisition, has been used for further development, production of current prototype samples and related testing. General and Administrative For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $4,401,158 as compared to $1,868,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $2,532,816 was primarily attributable to increases in: i) payroll and consulting fees of $652,000 from $609,000 in 2021 to $1,261,000 in 2022, primarily due to increased amounts of payroll and fees paid due to additional employees, including seven additional staff members relating to the Safegard acquisition, offset by reduction in consultants, ii) decreases in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $35,000 from $838,000 in 2021 to $803,000 in 2022. In addition, we had increases in G&A in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $1,916,000, principally from increased marketing and promotion ($154,000), professional fees ($208,000), travel ($160,000), board costs ($116,000), insurance ($345,000), public company related expenses and investor relations ($258,000), issuance costs relating to the warrants ($550,000), rent and office expense ($98,000) and other expenses ($27,000). Interest expense (income) Interest expense, net of interest income, was $1,334,612 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to interest income of $724 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense increased by $1,335,337 due to the financing entered into in December 2021 which resulted in interest payable at the 8% face amount of $47,111 plus accreted interest of $1,299,985 on the $2,000,000 Note Payable which was repaid at the IPO closing with net proceeds. FMV Adjustment for Derivatives The value of the Note Warrants and the Warrants issued with the IPO requires the FMV to be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other (income) expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive income loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $181,000 fair market value (FMV) gain to reflect the decrease in the Note Warrants through the date the shares were issued. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $3,262,648 FMV gain adjustment to reflect the decrease in the Warrants issued with the IPO. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) Liquidity and Capital Resources On April 13, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) which was declared effective by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq on April 14, 2022 and which closed on April 19, 2022. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million of which $5,779,000 was attributed to the Warrant liability. (See Notes 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) 21 At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $6,389,839, and $1,479,166, respectively. The Company has working capital of $2,886,658 as of September 30, 2022 vs working capital deficiency of $1,156,998, as of December 31, 2021. The increase in our working capital was primarily related to net proceeds from our initial public offering of approximately $14.2 million prior to the effect of recording the liability attributed to the warrants from the IPO, less use of cash in operations, investing in fixed assets purchased, repayment of the Note Payable of $2.0 million and $2.4 in additional escrow paid relating to the Safegard acquisition agreement. Cash Flows Net Cash Used in Operating Activities The Company used cash of $4,391,021 and $1,954,954 in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring additional SG&A expenses and R&D activities as described above during nine months ended Setptember30, 2022. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company used cash in investing activities of $2,945,259 and $1,991,972, respectively. In both periods, the cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for machinery and equipment of $579,683 and $1,906,710, respectively. Further, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 the Company used $2,365,576 and $85,262, respectively the acquisition of Safegard or related escrow payments. Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $12,235,475 and $2,406,430, respectively. In the 2022 period, the cash provided was primarily from the IPO net proceeds of $14,202,975,prior to the effect of recording the liability attributed to the warrants from the IPO, less the Notes repayment of $2,000,000. In 2021, the cash provided was from stock subscriptions from a private placement. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4). Emerging Growth Company Status We are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company, we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile. 22 We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time, we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not required for smaller reporting companies. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or would be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 23 PART II — OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Prospectus for our IPO filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Prospectus for our IPO filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS Recent Sale of Unregistered Equity Securities No unregistered equity securities were issued during the April 19, 2022 through September 30, 2022 except for the 35,000 shares issued in connection with services provided to the Company. In connection with the completion of the IPO we repaid the $2,000,000 Notes Payable and settled the Contingent Stock liability by issuing 235,295 shares of common stock. Further, the Company issued 235,295 warrants to the Purchasers in connection with the Note Purchase agreement. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not required for smaller reporting companies. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, we granted Aegis Capital Corp., as underwriter a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 15% of the number of shares included in the units sold in the offering, and/or additional warrants equal to 15% of the number of Warrants included in the units sold in the offering, in each case solely to cover over-allotments, which the Aegis Capital Corp. partially exercised with respect to 1,125,000 warrants on April 19, 2022.
