FOR
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
Note
1. Description of Business
Nature
of Business and Going Concern
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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Safegard Medical, Kft. and Sharps Technology Acquisition Corp. collectively referred to as the “Company.” The condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, statements
of stockholders’ equity and the statements of cash flow for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (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, 2023 and notes thereto contained
in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December
31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a working
capital of $ 67,820 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months. These
factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or commercialize its
products into a profitable business. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely
from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds
provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
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 7).
Effective
October 16, 2024, the Company completed a 1 for 22 reverse split, whereby for each 22 shares of common stock the Company issued one share
of common stock . All share, other equity instruments and per share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements and footnotes have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of the reverse split for all periods presented.
Note
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed 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.

SHARPS

NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
Note
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As
of September 30, 2024, the most significant estimates relate to derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, long-lived asset impairments and accounting for debt and equity financing.
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. At September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.
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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including
packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.
Fair
Value Measurements
ASC
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires 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 valued on a recurring basis 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 and Computer Systems – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is
based on the lesser of the number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability or 5 years.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed 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, 2024 and 2023.
Purchased
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 whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, 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. 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.
At
their issuance date and as of September 30, 2024, certain 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive
income (loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments related to its subsidiary.
Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance
at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 statements of operations. 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 period. 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 of September 30, 2024, there were 958,693 stock options and warrants, post reverse split
effected, 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 anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Income
Taxes
The
Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expenses 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.
Contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are evaluated
and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
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
does not expect the pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections
that the Company makes.

and $ 183,135 ,
respectively. 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.
The
acquisition of Safegard, which closed on July 6, 2022, did not meet the definition of a business pursuant to ASC 805-10, and accordingly
was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50. 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. The intangibles 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 condensed

Contingencies
On
July 10, 2024, Barry Berler (“Berler”), a co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of the Company, commenced a lawsuit
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Barry Berler v. Sharps Technology, Inc. and Alan Blackman,
Case No. 2:24-cv-04787. In this case, Berler asserts claims for damages of an aggregate of $ 456,000 for alleged (1) failure to make full
payment of certain monthly payments under his consulting agreement with the Company (the “Consulting Agreement”) in the amount
of $52,500, (2) failure to pay a bonus with a target of $216,000 under the Consulting Agreement, (3) $187,500, representing 50% of the
severance payment paid by the Company to Mr. Blackman, the Company’s co-founder and former Chief Operating Officer and Co-Chairman
and a declaration and injunctive relief establishing that Berler is the rightful owner of 50% of the Company’s Series A Preferred
Stock (which preferred stock is no longer outstanding). The Company has accrued for the claim for unpaid monthly consulting fees. The
Company believes that Berler’s claims are without merit, intends to defend itself vigorously and has requested dismissal of these
claims. In addition, on September 17, 2024, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims with respect thereto, including for recoupment
of certain compensation the Company has previously paid to Berler.
On
June l7, 2024, Berler filed a demand for arbitration and statement of claim under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) asserting claims for payment of $ 500,000 plus interest, under the Company’s royalty agreement with
Berler, as amended, rescission thereof and reversion to Berler of the intellectual property rights subject thereto. The Company believes
that Berler’s claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously in connection with these claims.
On
April 3, 2024, Plastomold Industries Ltd. (“Plastomold”) commenced a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York, Plastomold Industries Ltd v. Sharps Technology, Inc., Case No. 2:24-CV-02580, asserting claims
for damages in the amount of $ 1.762 million for alleged (1) failure to pay invoices, of which approximately $1 million would relate to
a maintenance agreement for units allegedly manufactured and sold using machinery that was defective and has never successfully produced
any saleable products, (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (3) unjust enrichment, and (4) conversion.
Plastomold asserts it provided certain products and services to the Company for which its invoices were not fully paid. The Company believes
that Plastomold’s claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. On June 3, 2024, the Company filed an answer
and affirmative defenses and counterclaim, which counterclaim is for damages that the Company believes would exceed the claims asserted
by Plastomold, based on the insufficiency of Plastomold’s services and the results thereof, including the failure to provide machinery
capable of reliably manufacturing the designated products in compliance with design specifications and functionality requirements, and
with respect to which test results failed.
Commitments

that the $ 1 M
deposit would be maintained until July 19, 2024, at which date, if the contemplated transaction was not consummated, through no
fault of the Seller, the escrow would be released to the Seller by the escrow agent. The escrow deposit of $ 1,000,000

be no assurance that the closing of the asset sale will occur.

which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited

Overview
Since our inception in 2017, we have devoted substantially all our resources to the research and development and commencing the latter
part of 2023 on manufacturing of our safety syringe products. To date, we have not generated any significant revenues from the sale of
syringe products. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit
of $29,918,777. Our net loss was $4,769,774 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Substantially all of our net losses resulted
from costs incurred in connection with our research and development efforts, payroll and consulting fees, stock compensation and general
and administrative costs associated with our operations, including costs incurred for being a public company since April 14, 2022. See
below, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not
generated any significant revenue from the sale of syringe products or cash flow from operations since inception. As of September 30,
2024, the Company had working capital of $67,820 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations
for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to
acquire or commercialize its products into a profitable business. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and
its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources
until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the
Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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 in the US work
remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely. In June 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire Safegard Medical (Safegard), a
former syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary. Through the closing 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 maintain inventory. Commencing in the 4 th Quarter of 2022 we started building inventory.
We require commercial quantities of inventory to secure orders. Delivery is expected shortly after receiving orders.
Although
we currently have production capacity for our products and thus the ability to receive and fulfill orders, we have used the proceeds
from the February 2023, September 2023 fund raising and fund raising in the second and third quarter of 2024 to allow us to either
increase our production capacity, build inventory or support working capital requirements This will help us to generate and fulfill
orders for our current product line and advance our new innovative products in connection with recent collaboration arrangements. We
have produced commercial quantities of our products and built inventory to support orders in late 2024 and in 2025. (See Recent
Developments)
Products,
Marketing and Sales
We
continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our disposable syringe and prefillable syringe
products. We intend to market these products to the U.S. and foreign governments. We received a Purchase Order for our first Securegard
sales to a South America distributor which was shipped in June 2024. We will also look to sell our disposable syringe products to hospitals
and clinician offices as opportunities present themselves.
The Sharps Securegard product line continues to represent our initial disposable
syringe platform to be commercially available to the market. The addition of the Sologard products and SafeR products from Roncadelle
are recent expansions to the Company’s product portfolio. These platforms have advanced features and benefits to support the needs
of the market along with a high level of readiness for manufacturing and the ability to provide large commercial quantities for customers.
As
previously disclosed, there continue to be delays in the commercialization of the Sharps Provensa product line. The product’s
specialized technology requires further design and assembly optimization as identified in our previous commercialization efforts. This
on-going product refinement process is typical of the development of new technology for the healthcare market to ensure the products
are safe and effective for use every time. At this time Sharps is not able to determine a timeline for final commercialization of the
Provensa product.
Research
and Development
Substantially
all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. We expect to continue
to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our products to meet the market requirements
for our Sharps syringe product line for its various intended uses throughout the world.

Business
Developments:
Asset
Purchase Agreement – Nephron Pharmaceuticals and Affiliates
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. The NPC Agreement was intended to support several areas of
the Company’s development and growth. The Company and NPC intended to supplement the NPC Agreement by entering into a manufacturing
supply agreement, a sales and distribution agreement and a pharma services program to support growth, and a future agreement to support
manufacturing expansion. As noted below, the sales and distribution agreement was terminated on March 8, 2024, and replaced. The original
manufacturing supply agreement, noted above, was replaced as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into on September 22, 2023
and the Pharma Services agreement continues to be in place, although no activities have occurred to date. Further, under the additional
agreement with NPC and affiliates of NPC (“Nephron Agreement”), the Company would provide technical advice and assistance
to support manufacturing by InjectEZ, purchase certain quantities of syringes as they may order or require, and collaborate with Nephron
on certain related business endeavors, but no activities have occurred to date. The Company will continue working to amend the terms
of this NPC Agreement and Nephron Agreement, based on the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement below dated May 20, 2024. (See below)
On
March 8, 2024, the Company and Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation terminated their distribution agreement dated December 8, 2022, which
was partially replaced by the Agreement with Roncadelle, as stated below, and we continue to seek other parties to distribute for the
US domestic market. The Company entered into a new logistics services agreement on the warehousing side with Owens and Minor (“O&M”)
to replace Nephron’s distribution services. The Company can utilize O&M to provide 3PL services for both
the Company and Roncadelle products, in North and South America when needed.
The
Company and Nephron continue to maintain the Pharma Services Program (PSP), although no activities have occurred to date, which focuses
on the creation of new business development and growth opportunities for both companies. These opportunities will include the development
and sale of next generation drug delivery systems that will be produced by the Company and can be purchased by the healthcare industry,
pharmaceutical markets, and Pharma companies such as Nephron and others.
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2023, with Nephron and Nephron’s
InjectEZ, LLC, (collectively, the “Seller”). The September 22, 2023 agreement superseded the manufacturing and supply agreement
entered into in connection with the NPC Agreement on September 29, 2022, and the Nephron Agreement entered into on September 29, 2022.
The Amended Asset Purchase Agreement includes the purchase of certain assets for $35M plus assumed liabilities of $4M, continues to provide
for the Company to lease the Facility but excludes any leasehold improvements previously included. In connection with the Asset Purchase
agreement, the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $1M to be held in escrow under an agreeable escrow agreement as a deposit on
the purchase price. The Asset Purchase agreement stipulated that the $1M deposit would be maintained until July 19, 2024, at which date,
if the contemplated transaction was not consummated, through no fault of the Seller, the escrow would be released to the Seller by the
escrow agent. The escrow deposit of $1,000,000 was released to the Seller and recorded in Other Expense as a forfeited agreement cost
in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company and Seller continue to work towards a further amendment of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on obtaining further amendments and the necessary financing. There can be no
assurance that the closing of the asset sale will occur.

Sales
and Distribution Agreement – Roncadelle
On
March 4, 2024 (the “Effective”) Company entered into a cooperative sales and distribution agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Roncadelle Operations s.r.l (“Roncadelle”). In conjunction with the execution of the Agreement, Roncadelle appointed
the Company as its exclusive distributor of Roncadelle products in the United States, Canada, Central and South America and their territories.
The Company appointed Roncadelle as its exclusive distributor of Sharps products in Europe, Middle East, APAC, South Africa and Australia
and their territories. The Company and Roncadelle agreed to bear their own separate costs and expenses, including fees and other expenses,
relating to external advisors and the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and any related documents.
The Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date for the initial period of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration
of the Initial Term, the term of the Agreement shall automatically renew for additional successive one-year terms, unless either party

terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or applicable law. The Company continues to work with Roncadelle for product
introductions and execution of the Agreement for future sales.
Supply
Agreement -Stericare Solutions
On
July 24, 2024, the Company, entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Stericare Solutions, LLC, a Texas
limited liability company, (“Stericare”), pursuant to which Stericare agreed to purchase 520 million units of 10ml polypropylene
(“PP”) Sologard syringes from the Company. The specific purchase price is confidential but revenues are expected in excess
of $50M. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Stericare has agreed to purchase 520 million units of 10ml PP Sologard syringes in the following
increments: 40 million units in the first year, and 120 million units every year for the remaining life of the Supply Agreement. The
Supply Agreement has a five (5) year term targeted to commence November 2024 (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration
of the Initial Term, the Supply Agreement will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”),
unless a party gives the other party written notice of termination at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or
Renewal Term. The Agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice to the other party if the other party breaches any
material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof.
The Agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice to the other party if the other party becomes insolvent, makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency Law is filed by or against such party and is
not dismissed within 120 days. If either party is acquired by a competitor of the other party, then either party can terminate the Agreement
with six (6) months written notice.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
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.

Research
and Development
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $145,611 compared
to $225,191 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $79,580 was due to reduced R&D activities in 2024 as
compared to 2023, primarily due to lower depreciation expense of $46,000 and lower R&D labor and consulting of $41,000 due to
the overall shift to manufacturing.
27
General
and Administrative
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1,869,598 as compared
to $2,133,167 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $263,569 was primarily attributable to: i) a decrease
in payroll and consulting fees of $57,000 from $895,000 in 2023 to $838,000 in 2024, primarily due to lower consulting services and
compensation expense, ii) decrease in stock compensation expense, due to the timing of option awards, vesting and options
valuations, of approximately $85,000 from $201,000 in 2023 to $116,000 in 2024. Further, we had decreases in public company and
investor relation costs ($65,600), travel ($17,000), computer costs ($44,000), insurance ($39,000), patent fees ($10,000), and other
expenses ($50,700), partially offset by higher professional fees ($68,300), marketing ($2,000), rent ($12,000), depreciation
expense ($16,000) and board costs ($6,500).
Other
expense (income)
Other
was an expense of $70,905 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to income of $17,620 for three months ended
September 30, 2023. In 2024 and 2023 the Company generated interest income of $4,377 and $17,620, respectively. The totals in each
period related to interest earned from cash balances held in interest bearing accounts. In addition, in 2024 the Company incurred
accreted interest costs associated with debt financing (See Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).
FMV
Adjustment for Derivatives
Certain
Warrants require 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the
three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a $416,560 FMV gain, net of a modification charge of $155,703
for the warrants exercised at the reduced exercise prices and the related modification charge and $572,264 FMV gain to reflect
adjustments required for outstanding Warrants liabilities. This is compared to a $321,981 FMV gain for the three months ended
September 30, 2023 (See Notes 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Research
and Development
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $523,347 compared to
$783,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $259,993 was primarily due to a shift to increased manufacturing
and reduced R&D activities in 2024 as compared to the 2023 period which amounted to lower expenses of $121,600, principally materials of $104,000. In addition, depreciation
expense decreased $138,300.
28
General
and Administrative
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $5,257,015 as compared to
$6,425,154 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $1,168,139 was primarily attributable to: i) increases in
payroll and consulting fees of $307,800 from $2,206,000 in 2023 to $2,514,502 in 2024, primarily due to compensation increases
and additional consulting fees, ii) decrease in stock compensation expense, due to the timing of option awards, vesting and option
valuations, of approximately $397,800 from $838,000 in 2023 to $441,200 in 2024, iii) decrease in public company and investor
relations costs of $288,700 from $644,000 to $361,300 in 2024 primarily due to lower offering costs in the 2024 period and reduced
investor relations activities. Further, we had decreases due to lower: a) marketing costs ($278,400) relating to promoting the
Company, b) travel ($65,900), c) insurance costs ($87,000), d) rent ($45,000), e) general operating costs ($85,300), f) computer
costs ($13,600), g) patent maintenance and registration fees ($2,200) and h) a contract settlement of $375,000 in 2023. These
decreases were partially offset by higher: a) professional fees ($68,000, b) board costs ($41,500) and c) depreciation
($53,500).
Other
expense (income)
Other
was an expense of $1,046,593 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to income of $(94,492) for nine months ended
September 30, 2023. In 2024 and 2023 the Company generated interest income of $(28,689) and $(94,492), respectively. The interest
income in each period was related to interest income earned from cash balances held in interest bearing accounts. In the second
quarter of 2024, the Company’s initial syringe sale of $10,871, which approximated cost, was to a distributor in South America.
The escrow deposit of $1M, relating to the Asset Purchase Agreement, was released to the Seller on July 19, 2024, under the terms of
the agreement and recorded as a forfeited agreement cost (See Note 15 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements). In addition, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded accreted interest expense of $75,192 in connection with the debt financing (See Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
FMV
Adjustment for Derivatives
Certain
Warrants require 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 consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a $2,088,747 and $415,958 FMV gain to reflect adjustments required for outstanding Warrants liabilities.
(See Notes 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $2,473,197 and $3,012,908, respectively. The Company had working
capital of $67,820 and $1,145,569 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in our working capital
was primarily due to use of cash in operations and investing discussed below offset by net proceeds from the Reg A and Inducement
Offerings in May and June 2024 and the net proceeds from the debt financing in September 2024 (See below and Notes 7 and 8 to the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The
Company continues to assess liquidity requirements and plans to continue to seek funding through equity offerings and/or debt financing
opportunities.
On
September 20, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and a
Senior Secured Note (the “Note”) for an aggregate principal amount of $4,375,000, including OID interest of $875,000 maturing
on January 31, 2025, with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), and the issuance of approximately 259,091 (pre reverse -
5,700,006) unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.5
million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company of $514,700 and an escrow
deposit of $250,000 required until certain security liens are filed.
On
May 31 and June 13, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors 4,197,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per
share of the Company at a price of $0.38 and received gross proceeds to the Company of $1.6M before expenses to the placement agent and
other offering expenses of $298,000 with net proceed, after reflecting par value, have been recorded in Additional Paid in Capital of
$1,296, 922. The shares issued in the offering were offered at-the-market under Nasdaq rules and pursuant to the Company’s Form
1-A (the “Offering Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended on May 21, 2024, and qualified on May 30, 2024.
29
On
May 30, 2024, the Company offered warrant inducements (the “Inducement Agreement”) to certain warrant holders (the
“Warrant Holders”) which references the warrants registered for sale under both the registration statements on Form S-1
(file No. 333-263715) and/or the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-275011) (collectively, the “Registration
Statements”) for up to a total of 499,932 (pre reverse - 10,998,524) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the exercise price of the existing warrants was reduced
from $14.08 (pre reverse - $0.64) per share to $7.26 (pre reverse - $0.33) per share. In addition, for each warrant that was
exercised, as a result of the Inducement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the Warrant Holders unregistered warrants with an
exercise price of $9.90 (pre reverse - $0.45) per share (“Inducement Warrants”). In the aggregate, 260,799 (pre reverse
- 5,737,573) warrants were exercised as a result of the Inducement Agreement and accordingly, 260,799 Inducement Warrants were
issued. The Company received gross proceeds of $1.9M before expenses to the placement agent and other expenses of $285,000. The net
proceeds, after reflecting par value, has been recorded in Additional Paid in Capital of $978,407 and with respect to the Inducement
Warrants, a liability under ASC 815 was recorded in the amount of $693,064. Certain outstanding warrants, with an exercise price of
$14.08 (pre reverse - $0.64), were reduced to $7.26 (pre reverse - $0.33) based on anti-dilution terms in the respective warrant
agreements.
On
September 29, 2023, the Company completed two simultaneous offerings and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.6 million,
before expenses to the placement agent and other offering expenses of $716,000.
a.
The first offering, the securities purchase
agreement offering (the “Shelf Offering”) with institutional investors and the Company resulted in the Company receiving
net proceeds from the Shelf Offering and the sale of pre-funded of approximately $2.5 million, includes the value of the pre-funded
warrants recorded in APIC, net of $362,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expenses. The Shelf Offering
was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Shelf Offering, the Company issued 164,478 (pre reverse
-3,618,521 shares of common at a purchase price of $14.08 per unit, adjusted to $7.26 (reverse effected) at May 30, 2024, based on
anti-dilution terms in the warrants and 36,636 ( pre reverse -800,000) pre-funded warrants at $14.058 ( pre reverse - $0.639) per
pre-funded warrants. The exercise price of the pre-funded warrants will be $0.001 per share.
b.
The second offering, the securities
purchase agreement offering (“Private Placement”) with institutional investors and the Company received net proceeds
from the Private Placement of approximately $2.4 million, net of $354,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering
expense. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued: (i) 117,340 (pre reverse - 2,581,479) PIPE Shares (or PIPE
Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) and (ii) PIPE Warrants (non-trading) to purchase 397,727 (pre reverse -8,750,003) shares of our
common stock, at a combined purchase price of $23,63 (pre reverse- $1.074) per unit (or $23.606 (pre reverse - $1.073) per
pre-funded unit). The PIPE Warrants have a term of five and one-half (5.5) years from the issuance date and are exercisable for one
share of common stock at an exercise price of $14.08 adjusted to $7.26 (reverse affected) at May 30, 2024, based on anti-dilution
terms in the warrants. The net proceeds, after reflecting par value, has been recorded in Additional Paid in Capital of $1.6 million
and with respect to the PIPE Warrants recorded as a liability under ASC 815 of $985,204. On October 16, 2023, the Company filed an
S-1 (Resale) Registration Statement in connection with the Private Placement and on October 26, 2023 the S-1 went effective. (See
Note 10).
On February 3, 2023, the Company completed a securities
purchase agreement (“Offering”) with institutional investors and received net proceeds from the Offering of approximately
$3.2 million, net of $600,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expenses. The Offering was priced at the market
under Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 102,206 (pre reverse - 2,248,521) units at a purchase price of
$37.18 (pre reverse - $1.69 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one non-tradable warrant (“Offering Warrants”)
exercisable for one share of common stock at a price after effect of the October reverse split, of $34.32, adjusted to $14.08 at September
29, 2023 and to $7.26 at May 30, 2024, based on anti-dilution terms in the warrants and a term of five years. The Offering Warrants have
a term of five years from the issuance date. On February 13, 2023, the Company filed an S-1 (Resale) Registration Statement in connection
with the Offering and on April 14, 2023, an Amendment to the S-1 was filed and went effective. (See Note 10)

Cash
Flows
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
The
Company used cash of $5,172,135 and $ 6,144,937 in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The decrease in cash used of $972,802 was principally due to lower operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company used cash in investing activities of $1,069,659 and $431,379, respectively.
In both periods cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for fixed assets, equipment and software. In 2024, the cash used for acquiring
or paying deposits for fixed assets equipment and software was $69,659 as compared to $431,379 in the 2023 period. In connection with the
Asset Purchase agreement the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $1M to be held in escrow under an agreeable escrow agreement as
a deposit on the purchase price. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the escrow deposit was released to the Seller and the
Company recorded a forfeited agreement cost in Other Expenses (See Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $5,707,946 and $8,029,628,
respectively. In the 2023 period, cash was provided from the offerings completed in February and September 2023. In the 2024 period,
cash was provided from the exercise of pre-funded warrants, net proceeds from a Reg A offering and Warrant Inducements and a debt
financing arrangement during September 2024 (See Note 7 and 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).
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.
31
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 of internal controls 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.

PART
II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. 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.
On
July 10, 2024, Barry Berler (“Berler”), a co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of the Company, commenced a lawsuit
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Barry Berler v. Sharps Technology, Inc. and Alan Blackman,
Case No. 2:24-cv-04787. In this case, Berler asserts claims for damages of an aggregate of $456,000 for alleged (1) failure to make full
payment of certain monthly payments under his consulting agreement with the Company (the “Consulting Agreement”) in the amount
of $52,500, (2) failure to pay a bonus with a target of $216,000 under the Consulting Agreement, (3) $187,500, representing 50% of the
severance payment paid by the Company to Mr. Blackman, the Company’s co-founder and former Chief Operating Officer and Co-Chairman,
and a declaration and injunctive relief establishing that Berler is the rightful owner of 50% of the Company’s Series A Preferred
Stock (which preferred stock is no longer outstanding ). The Company has accrued for the claim for unpaid monthly consulting fees. The
Company believes that Berler’s claims are without merit, intends to defend itself vigorously and has requested dismissal of these
claims. In addition, on September 17, 2024, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims with respect thereto, including for recoupment
of certain compensation the Company has previously paid to Berler.
On
June l7, 2024, Berler filed a demand for arbitration and statement of claim under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) asserting claims for payment of $500,000 plus interest, under the Company’s royalty agreement with
Berler, as amended, rescission thereof and reversion to Berler of the intellectual property rights subject thereto. The Company believes
that Berler’s claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously in connection with these claims.
On
April 3, 2024, Plastomold Industries Ltd. (“Plastomold”) commenced a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York, Plastomold Industries Ltd v. Sharps Technology, Inc., Case No. 2:24-CV-02580, asserting claims
for damages in the amount of $1.762 million for alleged (1) failure to pay invoices, of which approximately $1 million would relate to
a maintenance agreement for units allegedly manufactured and sold using machinery that was defective and has never successfully produced
any saleable products, (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (3) unjust enrichment, and (4) conversion.
Plastomold asserts it provided certain products and services to the Company for which its invoices were not fully paid. The Company believes
that Plastomold’s claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. On June 3, 2024, the Company filed an answer
and affirmative defenses and counterclaim, which counterclaim is for damages that the Company believes would exceed the claims asserted
by Plastomold, based on the insufficiency of Plastomold’s services and the results thereof, including the failure to provide machinery
capable of reliably manufacturing the designated products in compliance with design specifications and functionality requirements, and
with respect to which test results failed.
ITEM

warrants, to purchase one share of common stock for each whole warrant, with an initial exercise price of $4.25 per share (not
