Company Overview

Sharps Technology, Inc. is a medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes which we are seeking to commercialize and other syringe products currently marketable.

Our safety syringes products, which we refer to as the Sharps Provensa™ and Securgard^™, are ultra-low waste and have safety features, which we believe will provide us a competitive advantage over other syringes. Sharps Provensa is a patented and FDA-cleared safety syringe addressing the important needs of the global healthcare market. We received FDA clearance for the Sharps Provensa on June 12, 2006, for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections into the human body.

Reincorporation and Reverse Split

Prior to March 22, 2022, we were a Wyoming corporation and on March 22, 2022, we reincorporated (the “Reincorporation”) as a Nevada corporation (“Sharps Nevada”) pursuant to a merger into a newly formed Nevada corporation which was approved by our board of directors and the holders of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Corporate Information

The Company was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on December 16, 2017. On March 22, 2022, we reincorporated as a Nevada corporation. Our principal business address is 105 Maxess Road, Melville, New York 11747. We maintain our corporate website at sharpstechnology.com. The reference to our website is an inactive textual reference only. The information that can be accessed through our website is not part of this prospectus, and investors should not rely on any such information in deciding whether to purchase our securities.

Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and are relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company:

	●	we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

	●	we are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on whether we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

	●	we are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

	●	we are not required to give our stockholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

We may take advantage of these provisions until December 31, 2027 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering) if we continue to be an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our shares held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have elected to provide two years of audited financial statements. Additionally, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.

The following tables present our summary financial data and should be read together with our unaudited financial statements and audited financial statements and accompanying notes and information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected by these risks. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Technology, Business, and Industry

We are an early-stage company with a history of losses.

We incurred net losses of $4,717,655 and $4,639,662 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. We have not generated any revenue to date, and we had accumulated deficit of 20,025,021 as of June 30, 2023. We have developed our Sharps Provensa product line but there can be no assurance that it will be commercially successful. Our potential profitability is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the value of our business and common stock may significantly decrease.

We have a limited operating history and we may not succeed.

We have a limited operating history, and we may not succeed. We have not yet commercialized our Sharps Provensa or other products. You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material challenges to our business. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operation. We may never generate significant revenues or achieve profitability.

We may not succeed in commercializing Sharps Provensa or any future product.

We may face difficulties or delays in the commercialization of Sharps Provensa or any future products, which could result in our inability to timely offer products or services that satisfy the market. We may, for example, encounter difficulties due to:

	●	our inability to adequately market our products;
	●	our inability to effectively scale manufacturing as needed to maintain an adequate commercial supply of our products;
	●	our inability to attract and retain skilled support team, marketing staff and sales force necessary to increase the market for our products and to maintain market acceptance for our products; and
	●	the difficulty of establishing brand recognition and loyalty for our products.

In addition, to increase our production capacity, we will need to build inventory, which will require that we purchase certain additional equipment, including molding machines and molds. We have not received any orders to date. Even if we succeed in building inventory, and increasing our production capacity, there is no assurance we will receive any orders for our Sharps Provensa or any future products.

We may encounter significant competition and may not be able to successfully compete.

There are many medical device companies offering safety syringes, and more competitors are likely to arrive. Some of our competitors have considerably more financial resources than us. As a result, we may not be able to successfully compete in our market, which could result in our failure to successfully commercialize Sharps Provensa, or otherwise fail to successfully compete. We anticipate that our major domestic competitors will include Retractable Technologies, Inc., Becton, Dickinson & Company, Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies, Terumo Medical Corp., Smiths Medical, and B Braun. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete successfully in this environment.

We are vulnerable to new technologies.

Because we have a narrow focus on particular product lines and technology (currently, safety needle products), we are vulnerable to the development of superior or similar competing products and to changes in technology which could eliminate or reduce the need for our products. If a superior or similar technology is created, the demand for our products could be adversely affected.

We are subject to product liability risk.

As a manufacturer and provider of safety needle products, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims. Additionally, our success will depend on the quality, reliability, and safety of our products and defects in our products could damage our reputation. If a product liability claim is made and damages are in excess of our product liability coverage (which is currently $5 million, and which we may increase as we commence and increase sales of our products), our competitive position could be weakened by the amount of money we could be required to pay to compensate those injured by our products. In the event of a recall, we have recall insurance.

Our business may be affected by changes in the health care regulatory environment.

In the U.S. and internationally, government authorities may enact changes in regulatory requirements, reform existing reimbursement programs, and/or make changes to patient access to health care, all of which could adversely affect the demand for our products and/or put downward pressure on our prices. Future healthcare rulemaking could affect our business. We cannot predict the timing or impact of any future rulemaking or changes in the law.

The approval process for medical device products outside the United States varies among countries and may limit our ability to develop, manufacture and sell our products internationally. Failure to obtain marketing and regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent our products from being marketed abroad.

In order to market and sell our Sharps Provensa product line and any additional medical device products we may develop in the future in the European Union and many other jurisdictions, we, and our collaborators, must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. We have not yet received approval or clearance to sell our products in any jurisdiction outside the United States. The approval procedure varies among countries and may involve additional testing. We may conduct clinical trials for, and seek regulatory approval to market, our product candidates in countries other than the United States. If we or our collaborators seek marketing approval for a product candidate outside the United States, we will be subject to the regulatory requirements of health authorities in each country in which we seek approval. With respect to marketing authorizations in Europe, we will be required to submit a European Marketing Authorisation Application, or MAA, to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, which conducts a validation and scientific approval process in evaluating a product for safety and efficacy. The approval procedure varies among regions and countries and may involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval or clearance. In addition, marketing approval or clearance by the FDA does not ensure approval or clearance by the health authorities of any other country.

Ongoing regulation of our products may limit how we market our products, which could materially impair our ability to generate revenue.

Approval or clearance of a medical device product may carry conditions that limit the market for the product or put the product at a competitive disadvantage relative to alternative products. For instance, a regulatory approval or clearance may limit the indicated uses for which we can market a product or the patient population that may utilize the product. These restrictions could make it more difficult to market any product effectively. Accordingly we expect to continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance.

We are dependent on our management, without whose services our business operations could cease.

At this time, our management is wholly responsible for the development and execution of our business plan. If our management should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel, our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or who would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

We may not be able to raise capital as needed to develop our products or maintain our operations.

We expect that we will need to raise additional funds to execute our business plan and expand our operations. Additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, the Company’s business and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

Health care crises could have an adverse effect on our business.

Particularly during 2020, several states and local jurisdictions imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Although the manufacturing facility we operate has continued to operate during the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic due to its status as an essential business, we continue to monitor the evolving situation and cannot guarantee that the situation would be the same for any future pandemic. In the future, we may elect or be required to close temporarily which would result in a disruption in our activities and operations. Our supply chain, including transportation channels, may be impacted by any such restrictions as well. Any such disruption could impact our sales and operating results.

Widespread health crises also negatively affect economies which could affect demand for our products. While we plan to market our Sharps Provensa and other products for use for injecting medicines as well as Covid-19 and other vaccines, in the event of a resurgence of COVID-19 or in the case of any future pandemic, there is no guarantee that revenues from syringes needed for vaccines would offset the effects to our business in a global economic decline.

Health systems and other healthcare providers in our markets that provide procedures that may use our products have suffered financially and operationally and may not be able to return to pre-pandemic levels of operations. Travel and import restrictions may also disrupt our ability to manufacture or distribute our devices. Any import or export or other cargo restrictions related to our products or the raw materials used to manufacture our products could restrict our ability to manufacture and ship products and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our key personnel and other employees could still be affected by COVID-19 or any future pandemic, which could affect our ability to operate efficiently.

Our business may be adversely affected by uncertainties in obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.

We believe our main competitive strength is our technology, including patent protection and trade secrets relating to the manufacture and design of our products. We are dependent on patent rights to prevent unlawful copying of our products, and if the patent rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business would be adversely affected. We consider patent protection to be of material importance in the design, development, and marketing of our products.

Our patent pending applications may not issue as patents, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours.

We have three issued patents, three pending patent applications in the United States, and one PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent application. We cannot be certain that we are the first inventor of the subject matter to which we have filed a particular patent application, or if we are the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has filed a patent application to the same subject matter as we have, we may not be entitled to the protection sought by the patent application. Further, the scope of protection of issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will issue, or that our issued patents will be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights or otherwise afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability. Our competitors may challenge or seek to invalidate our issued patents, or design around our issued patents, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. Also, the costs associated with enforcing patents, confidentiality and invention agreements, or other intellectual property rights may make aggressive enforcement impracticable.

Illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit versions of our products could have a negative impact on us.

Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of our products which do not meet our rigorous manufacturing and testing standards. Our reputation and business could suffer harm as a result.

Risks Related to This Offering and Our Securities

Our common stock could be subject to extreme volatility.

The trading price of our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in the risk factors set forth in this prospectus, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock and wide bid-ask spreads. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the securities market has, from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We have never paid common stock dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future, as a result our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

Our shares will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

This offering constitutes the selling stockholders’ offering of our shares. We have listed the shares of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq.

Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or de-listing from Nasdaq, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

As a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year that coincides with the filing of our second annual report on Form 10-K. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We have not yet commenced the costly and time-consuming process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, and we may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion once initiated. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and compile the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. Additionally, if these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business may be harmed if we experience problems with any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any post-implementation issues that may arise.

Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Some of our existing equity holders have substantial unrecognized gains on the value of the equity they hold based upon the price of this offering, and therefore, they may take steps to sell their shares or otherwise secure the unrecognized gains on those shares. We are unable to predict the timing of or the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, specifically, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as we’ve received a notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department on July 12, 2023, we may face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

As previously reported, on July 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days dated May 26, 2023, to July 11, 2023. If the Company does not comply with the NASDAQ rules in the future, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Rules provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.

We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade. The initial public offering price of our units will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not bear any relationship to the market price at which our common stock will trade after this offering or to any other established criteria of the value of our business and prospects, and the market price of our common stock following this offering may fluctuate substantially and may be lower than the initial public offering price. In addition, the trading price of our common stock following this offering is likely to be volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock as you might be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid in this offering. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:

	●	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;

	●	variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;

	●	changes in our projected operating and financial results;

	●	changes in laws or regulations applicable to our products;

	●	announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions or new products;

	●	sales of shares of our common stock by us or our shareholders, as well as the anticipation of lock-up releases;

	●	our involvement in litigation;

	●	future sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders,;

	●	changes in senior management or key personnel;

	●	the trading volume of our common stock;

	●	changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our market;

	●	general economic and market conditions; and

	●	other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, global pandemics or responses to these events.

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In the past, companies who have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial expenses and divert our management’s attention.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, the market price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be heavily influenced by the way analysts interpret our financial information and other disclosures. We do not have control over these analysts. If few securities analysts commence coverage of us, or if industry analysts cease coverage of us, our stock price could be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, downgrade our common stock, or publish negative reports about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price to decline and could decrease the trading volume of our common stock.

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. Investors should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock and could significantly affect the value of any investment in the Company.

Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. 1 share of preferred stock is designated Series A Preferred Stock and is outstanding. Our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that would grant to holders of preferred stock the right to our assets upon liquidation, or the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock. In addition, subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which our stock is then listed, our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

The holder of our Series A Preferred Stock will have 29.5% of the voting power of our stockholders for the election of directors and will have certain senior rights upon sale of our Company under certain conditions.

There is 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which is held by our former co-chairman and chief operating officer, Alan Blackman. The Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 29.5% of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders only as it relates to the elections of directors. As a result, Mr. Blackman was able to exert substantial influence over the election of directors to the Board. However, as discussed above, Mr. Blackman resigned from the Board of the company effective July 27, 2023. Additionally, in connection with Mr. Blackman’s resignation, once his severance payments are satisfied, Mr. Blackman shall return the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company for cancellation.

Further, the Series A Preferred Stock, provides that in the event the Company is sold during the two year period following completion of this offering at a price per share of more than 500% of the initial offering price per Common Unit in this offering, the Series A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder to 10% of the total purchase price. This may reduce the value of our common stock, as other holders, in the event of such an acquisition, will be entitled to a lower price per share than they would otherwise receive.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, if they choose to act together, have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 11% of our common stock. Such persons acting together, will have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and business affairs. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders.

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that we will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging-growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, 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. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging-growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering; (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of choosing to rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future results of operations will not be as comparable to the results of operations of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

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 of $4,639,662 and $4,664,412 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 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 Initial Public Offering, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to 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 in the US 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. Commencing in the 4^th Quarter of 2022 we have started building inventory. We require commercial quantities of inventory 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 for our Chief Technology Officer;

●	Operating costs paid to Safegard, through the acquisition date for use of Safegard’s workforce, utilities and other services, relating to the facility being utilized; 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.

On September 29, 2022, Sharps Technology entered into an agreement (the “Nephron Agreement”) with InjectEZ, LLC (“InjectEZ”), Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”), Nephron SC, Inc. (“NSC”), and Nephron Sterile Compounding Center LLC (“Sterile”) (NPC, NSC, and Sterile are sometimes collectively referred to as “Nephron”), pursuant to which Sharps was to 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. The Nephron Agreement is for a period of four (4) years, expiring on September 28, 2026 and continues thereafter for successive one (1) year periods. The Agreement includes provisions for collaborations in the areas of Manufacturing and Supply, a Pharma Services Program, and Distribution. NPC is a West Columbia, S.C.-based company that develops and produces safe, affordable generic inhalation solutions and suspension products. NPC also operates an industry-leading 503B Outsourcing Facility division, which produces pre-filled sterile syringes, luer-lock vials, IV bottles and IV bags for hospitals across America, in an effort to alleviate drug shortage needs. NPC launched a CLIA-certified diagnostics lab in 2020 where it tests people for COVID-19 and administers vaccinations.

The Agreement also allows for further expansion of manufacturing capabilities by Sharps Technology working with Nephron to support future industry and customer demand of pre-fillable systems as detailed in the Agreement. See “Recent Developments” below.

Additionally, Sharps entered into a Pharma Services Program (PSP) with Nephron that will create new business development growth opportunities for both companies. These opportunities will include the development and sale of next generation drug delivery systems that will be produced by Sharps and can be purchased by the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical markets, as well as by Nephron.

On December 8, 2022, Sharps entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Nephron Pharmaceuticals pursuant to which the Sharps Technology appointed Nephron as its exclusive distributor for the sale and distribution of the products subject to the Distribution Agreement in and throughout the United States. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the price of shipping products will be based on the cost of delivery to Nephron’s warehouse and the Company will pay for the cost of delivery to Nephron. The Distribution Agreement has a term of two years and will continue in effect unless either party notifies the other party of its desire to terminate. At any time and for any reason, either party can terminate the Distribution Agreement after thirty (30) days’ notice and in the event of a breach of any of the Distribution Agreement’s terms and provisions, either party can terminate the Distribution Agreement by providing 90 days written notice. The Company has the right to terminate the Distribution Agreement with 60 days written notice if certain conditions are met as set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

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 recently entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase the Inject EZ facility and a Purchase Agreement to supply Nephron with all of its required copolymer prefilled syringes which will significantly broaden our relationship with Nephron described above. See “Recent Developments”

We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our disposable syringe products. We intend to market these products to the US and foreign governments. In certain situations, we will also look to sell our disposable syringe products to hospitals and clinician offices as opportunities present themselves.

We expect that the Sharps Securegard product line will represent our initial disposable syringe platform to be commercially available to the market. The Securegard platform has an advanced set of 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.

There have been delays in the commercialization of the Sharps Provensa product line. The Provensa product’s combination of specialized technology has created the need for further optimization related to the final assembly steps for the product. This was identified as we moved towards commercialization for the product line and the need to generate production quantities to support customer orders. This type of delay is typical with the development of new technology for the healthcare market to ensure the products are safe and effective for use every time. We are endeavoring to address all obstacles to advance the commercialization of the Provensa product line as soon as possible.

Recent Developments

Nephron Asset Purchase Agreement

On September 22, 2023, Sharps entered into a series of agreements with Nephron and Nephron’s wholly owned subsidiary InjectE, LLC. Sharps entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain equipment and leasehold improvements at Nephron’s facility (the “Facility”) in West Columbia, South Carolina. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a cash purchase price of $40,378,594 and the issuance of a five (5) year subordinated promissory note (the “Nephron Note”) to Nephron in the principal amount of $10.0 million which bears interest at 8% per annum to be paid upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction. The Nephron Note will be redeemable (25% per quarter) during the first year if Nephron’s syringe purchase orders result in revenue of at least $7,500,000 per quarter during the first year. The Company will also issue Nephron warrants to purchase 4% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Nephron Warrants”) exercisable for a five-year period at an exercise price of $1.56 per share.

In conjunction with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year Purchase Agreement with Nephron whereby Nephron agreed to utilize the Sharps as its exclusive pre-filled COC syringe manufacturer and to purchase a minimum aggregate of $450.0 million of syringes over the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains specific quantities of products required to be purchased from the Company during the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that Nephron will make an initial purchase order of $32.0 million upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement . The effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”).

Closing,

At the closing, Sharps will enter into a 10 year lease for the Facility in which the Assets are located and will be operated by the Company. The lease provides for four successive five year options, with a right to purchase the Facility, which lease will be effective upon Closing (the “Lease”). The Lease provides for a monthly rental fee of $40,550, subject to increase after 5 years based on CPI adjustments.

In addition, Sharps and Nephron, will enter into a two year Shared Services Agreement whereby Nephron will provide certain administrative services and personnel to the Company in exchange for an agreed upon fee schedule. These services will assist the Company in establishing its operations in the Facility.

The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions. There can be no assurance that such closing conditions will be satisfied but the Company anticipates closing the transaction within 60 days from the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

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.

Nature 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.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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 Capital Structure and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally leading to an economic downturn in certain industries and countries. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds. Management continues to monitor the situation but has not experienced a significant disruption to its product development efforts.

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 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.

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, inventory is comprised of raw materials, components and finished goods.

Fair Value Measurements

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.

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 no 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 date.

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 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 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.

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

When applicable, the Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. 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. The stock-based awards are granted at an exercise price that represents the fair market value of the underlying common stock based on the stock price, at which the Company sold stock in private placements completed by the Company, during the period such options were issued. 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 December 31, 2022, the warrants 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 (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

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 December 31, 2022, there were 10,405,916 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 composed 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.

Contingencies

Contingencies are evaluated and a liability is recorded when the matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

Revenue

The Company has not generated any revenue to date.

Research and Development

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $558,148 compared to $1,063,243 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $505,095 was primarily due to R&D costs of approximately $575,000 from $575,000 in 2022 to $0 in 2023 paid to Safegard for operating costs to use their facility and the purchase of R&D materials. In the 2022 period, prior to the acquisition date the facility, had been used for further development, production of current prototype samples and related testing. The operating costs are primarily related to the use of Safegard’s workforce, utility costs incurred and other services. We had further decreased in stock compensation expense of approximately $50,000, primarily due to the timing of awards and a decrease of $12,000 in other R&D costs. Partially offsetting the decreases was an increase in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $132,000.

General and Administrative

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $4,291,987 as compared to $3,061,710 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $1,230,277 was primarily attributable to increases in: i) payroll and consulting fees of $536,000 from $781,546 in 2022 to $1,217,117 in 2023, primarily due to increases in compensation and consulting fees incurred, and additional headcount increases. ii) increases in stock compensation expense, due to new option awards and timing of award vesting, of approximately $98,000 from $539,000 in 2022 to $637,000 in 2023. Further, we had increases due, relating to a contract settlement during the second quarter of 2023 for $375,000 , marketing ($101,000), professional fees ($74,000), insurance ($157,000), rent ($60,000), computer ($22,000), other operating costs ($186,000) and depreciation ($155,000) partially offset by decreases from patent and registration fees ($43,000), board fees ($26,000), travel ($55,000) and public company related expenses ($410,000). In 2022, public company costs were primarily related to the IPO.

Interest expense (income)

Interest income was $76,871 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to interest expense, net of interest income, of $1,345,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense decreased by $1,422,815 due to the financing which was in December 2021 which was repaid at the IPO closing with net proceeds. The interest was payable at an 8% face amount of $47,111 plus accreted interest of $1,299,985 on the $2,000,000 Note Payable.

FMV Adjustment for Derivatives

The Warrants require the FMV to be remeasured at each reporting date while recognition of the changes in fair value to income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $93,977 FMV loss to reflect the increase in the Warrant liability. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $4,078,930 FMV gain to reflect the decrease in the Warrant liability. (See Note 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $2,924,019 and $4,107,897, respectively. The Company had working capital of $1,197,575 and $2,416,928 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in our working capital was primarily by uses of cash in operations for the six month ended June 30, 2023 offset by net proceeds from the Offering in February 2023 which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.2M. (See below and Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

On February 3, 2023, we completed a securities purchase agreement (“Offering”) with institutional investors and received net proceeds from the Offering were 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, we issued 2,248,521 units at a purchase price of $1.69 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one non-tradable warrant (Offering Warrant) exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $1.56. The Offering Warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date. (See Notes 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

On April 13, 2022, we completed its IPO which was declared effective by the 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 $5,778,750 was attributed to the warrant liability (See Notes 8 and 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cash Flows

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

The Company used cash of $4,131,000 and $3,093,105 in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used of $1,037, 895, was principally due to the Company incurring additional operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company used cash in investing activities of $342,525 and $2,813,355, respectively. In both periods cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for fixed assets equipment of $342,525 and $463,355, respectively. Further, in 2022 the Company used $2,350,000 related to escrow payments for the acquisition of Safegard.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $3,238,711 and $12,235,475, respectively. In the 2023 period, the cash provided from the Offering in February 2023. 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

Revenue

The Company has not generated any revenue to date.

Research and Development

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased to $2,280,933 compared to $1,690,865 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase of $590,068 was due to increased R&D costs incurred at Safegard for labor $181,000 and other costs $207,000, which commenced after the acquisition on July 6, 2022. In addition, we had increases in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $597,000 which had commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021. We had increases in stock compensation and consulting fees of $4,000 from $321,000 in 2021 to $325,000 in 2022, decreases in engineering of $4,000 from $169,000 in 2021 to $165,000 2022 and decreases in other R&D costs of $119,000 from $331,000 in 2021 to $212,000 in 2022. The aforementioned changes were offset by the decrease in the Safegard operating cost of $275,000 from $850,000 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 year ended December 31, 2022, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $6,457,860 as compared to $2,806,801 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase of $3,651,059 was primarily attributable to increases in payroll and related of: i) payroll and consulting fees of $805,000 from $918,000 in 2021 to $1,723,000 in 2022, primarily due to increased amounts of payroll and increased staffing, including fifty-two staff members and $187,000 relating to the Safegard acquisition from date of acquisition and additional other staff and pay of $618,000 from $918,000 in 2021 to $1,355,000 in 2022 and ii) decrease in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $175,000 from $1,091,000 in 2021 to $916,000 in 2022. In addition, we had increases in G&A in the year ended December 31, 2022 of approximately $3,021,000 principally from increased: marketing and promotion ($878,000), professional fees ($178,000), travel ($152,000), board fees ($151,000), insurance ($521,000). public company and investor relations related ($294,000), issuance costs related to the warrants ($550,000), rent and office expenses ($109,000) and other ($188,000).

Interest expense (income)

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $1,320,416 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to interest expense of $166,746 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense increased by $1,153,670 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 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $5,392,911 FMV gain to reflect the decrease in the Note Warrants and Warrants liabilities issued with the IPO. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had a cash balance of $4,107,897 and $1,479,166, respectively. The Company has working capital of $2,416,928 as of December 31, 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 million paid relating to the Safegard acquisition.

On February 3, 2023, we completed a securities purchase agreement (“Offering”) with institutional investors and received net proceeds from the Offering were 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, we issued 2,248,521 units at a purchase price of $1.69 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one non-tradable warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $1.56. The warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date. (See Notes 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

Cash Flows

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

The Company used cash of $6,433,159 and $3,147,736 in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring additional G&A expenses and R&D activities as described above during year ended December 31, 2022.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used cash in investing activities of $3,117,916 and $2,343,730, respectively. In both years, cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for machinery and equipment of $542,662 and $2,221,830, respectively. Further, in the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used $2,365,576 and $75,000, respectively the acquisition of Safegard or related escrow payments.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $12,235,475 and $5,180,429 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 $1.235 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.

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.

Emerging Growth Company Status

BUSINESS

Background and Overview

Sharps Technology, Inc. is a medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes which we are seeking to commercialize. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on December 16, 2017. Sharps was incorporated to purchase, develop and commercialize the intellectual property resulting in a family of smart safety syringe products. We closed the acquisition of this intellectual property in the fourth quarter of 2017. The intellectual property we purchased consisted of issued patent and patent files, all new designs and iterations, samples, regulatory files, manufacturing files, product testing files and market research files relating to such safety syringe products.

In June 2020, we entered into an asset/share purchase agreement with Safegard Medical and certain other parties and in August 2020, October 2020, and July 2021, we entered into amendments to this agreement (as amended, the “Safegard Agreement”). Under the Safegard Agreement, we received an option to purchase either the stock of Safegard or certain assets of Safegard, including a manufacturing facility in Hungary registered with the FDA and CE for the manufacture of safety syringes, for $2.5 million in cash plus additional consideration of 100,000 shares of common stock and 125,000 stock options with an exercise price of $2.00. Under the Safegard Agreement, we were granted the right to operate this facility at our expense and continued to do so through the closing date which occurred on July 6, 2022.

Our safety syringes products, which we refer to as the Sharps Provensa™ and Securgard™, are ultra-low waste and have safety features, which we believe will provide us a competitive advantage over other syringes. Sharps Provensa is a patented and FDA-cleared safety syringe addressing the important needs of the global healthcare market. We received FDA clearance for the Sharps Provensa on June 12, 2006, for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections into the human body.

As further discussed below, although we currently have some production capacity for our products and thus ability to receive and fulfill orders, we expect that the September 2023 Private Placement will allow us to increase our production capacity and thus help us to generate and fulfill orders for our product line and advance our new products in connection with recent collaboration arrangements with Nephron Pharmaceutical. We anticipate that we will commence receiving orders for and producing commercial quantities of our products. However, we have not generated sales or received any orders to date and there is no assurance we will receive any orders for our products.

We anticipate that we will commence receiving orders for and producing commercial quantities of our Sharps products once inventory levels are available.

Our Products

Ultra-low waste space syringes are the preferred syringe for the administration of many vaccines and injectable medications. In addition, passive safety features are those most requested by clinicians in the field, in order to avoid infectious needlestick injuries. Our suite of products is designed to work with vials as well as pre-fillable syringes which are largely used by the pharmaceutical industry. Our Sharps Provensa Ultra - Low Waste, smart safety syringes engage all safety features, automatically, when the injection is given (and are thus considered to have passive safety features). The needle tip is covered even before removal from the patient - providing a very high level of safety. Our design is very stingy with using the medication contained in the syringe. Independent testing measured typical waste space found in commonly used hypodermic syringes to exceed 50 microliters with several resulting in waste space in excess of 100 microliters. Our Sharps Provensa has approximately 10 microliters of waste space. When some other syringes are used, vials and pre-fillable syringes are overfilled to anticipate this higher waste. With Sharps Provensa safety syringes, the overfilling can be virtually eliminated. Of the eleven commercially available syringes tested, only two (BD Integra and Sharps Provensa) had measured waste space which would place them in a low waste space category. We estimate that over 95% of the market comprise the products tested, other than the Integra. We have tested the number of doses, as recommended by Pfizer, which can be extracted from a 5 dose vial of Covid 19 vaccine. Using our Sharps Provensa Ultra Low – Waste smart safety syringe we are able to extract 7 doses from a 5 dose vial. This is accomplished by utilizing the overfill of the vial, which would be thrown away with an inefficient syringe design.

Sharps Provensa has the following features and benefits:

	●	Traditional one-handed operation;

	●	Passive safety features, which engage automatically, when the injection is given providing maximum protection even before withdrawal of the needle from the patient;

	●	SharpsLock interchangeable needle heads connect fast from drawing medication to injection;

	●	Orange color plunger tip contrasts against black color graduation for proper reading of medication;

	●	Reduces costly discarded medicine from every inefficient injection with our ultra-low waste space syringes;

	●	No leakage or breakage at the needlehead connection point;

	●	Prevents improper reuse of needles and syringes

The Sharps Provensa needle tip goes through the skin sharp, delivering the medicine or vaccine, and comes out of the body shielded, protecting the healthcare worker and the public. We believe that with use of Sharps Provensa, with its aforementioned features and benefits, the instance of needlestick injuries can be dramatically reduced.

Sharps Provensa Ultra - Low Waste smart safety syringes have been designed to address four primary problems:

1. Accidental needlestick injuries: These occur when the clinician is stuck with an infected needle. According to the WHO, these accidents likely take place in excess of 2 million times per year. When a clinician receives an infectious needlestick injury, any blood borne disease which the patient had, could be transmitted to them.

A 2016 World Health Organization Commission reported that over 16 billion injections are delivered worldwide each year (pre-Covid era). A recent analysis showed that 55.1% of healthcare workers had sustained a needlestick injury, or NSI, at some point in their career. Over one million healthcare worker NSIs are documented each year in the US and Europe and over 3 million worldwide with the true incidence believed to be more than double those numbers as over half of injuries go unreported.

US data on injury trends disturbingly show recent worsening despite safety campaigns and protocols. In a 2016 study, economic analysis has placed the average cost of an NSI at $747 (direct plus indirect costs) and strongly supported the use of safety-engineered devices for injection. Low compliance with recommended safety protocols can be seen upon examination of injury data where a majority of injuries continue to occur with non-safety devices or before full activation of a safety-protection feature.

There are over 20 such transmissible blood borne diseases, including AIDS and hepatitis. Safety syringes provide protection by active or passive safety mechanism. Active safety requires the clinician to activate the safety features of the syringe following an injection to the patient. This can be done by pushing a hinge or engaging a slide. Compliance is low and some designs require close proximity to the sharp needle, in order to activate. A 2019 EPInet report demonstrates that over 80% of NSIs from safety devices occurred at a time when their safety feature not activated or only partially activated. Passive safety occurs simply by giving the injection in the ordinary way and having the product design engage the safety features automatically.

2. Waste Space: all needle and syringes have space which permits the accumulation of injectable medications which cannot be accessed and are thrown away with each injection. Sharps Provensa has approximately 10 microliters of waste space - others have as much as 140 microliters of waste space. Without knowing what syringe is going to be used, pharmaceutical companies must overfill their vials to account for this loss. For difficult to manufacture injectable medications, this reduces the number of life saving doses which could be available to the public. When doses are extremely small, waste space can exceed the required dose. That means more medications are being thrown away than injected into the patient. As an example, certain Covid 19 vaccine injections approved for booster shots and for children require lower doses. The lower the dose the higher the percentage of wasted medications. Sharps Provensa maximizes the number of doses obtained from a vial by minimizing the waste space. A growing trend for pharmaceutical companies is to prefill a syringe and sell it with the desired precise dose. A needlehead assembly is affixed to the syringe and this avoids the need for a vial. Sharps Provensa saves the pharmaceutical company from overfilling the pre-filled syringe and produces more doses from the same bulk material. Pfizer has approved Sharps Provensa Ultra - Low Waste smart safety syringes for use with their Covid 19 vaccine. According to a July 2016 Journal of the American Medical Association article, for a small group of injectable medications, the median value of the wasted medicine per dose was $5.00 for high-dead-space medications, and about $0.50 for low dead-space medications. Over one year, the cost of the waste for high-dead-space medications ranged from $558 to $2,329 (a median value of $1,638) compared to $68 to $205 (a median value of $125) for low-dead-space medication.

3. Exchangeable needle head assembly: because we don’t have a single needle permanently attached to a syringe, this permits the clinician to attach the required needle length and gauge to the syringe, while maintaining all safety features and benefits. This reduces the amount of inventory otherwise required.

4. Draw needle: Our Sharps Provensa product line has a draw needle, which facilitates very rapid draw of all injectable medications from a vial into a syringe, including those medications which are viscous and difficult to draw in any other way. A draw needle has a larger inside diameter which facilitates fast and proper draw. Once the medication has been drawn into the vial, the draw needle is replaced with the needle size and gauge required for the patient’s injection. If the needle that is to be used on the patient is a high gauge thin needle, and is first used to draw the medication from the vial (which would not ocurr with the Sharps Provensa draw needle), the needle tip may be damaged or lose some of its sharp edge. This could result in more pain/discomfort for the patient or an incomplete injection.

Draw needles are commonly used. If the clinician wishes to use a very thin needle for injection into the patient, a draw needle would be used to puncture the septum of the vial. Draw needles are commonly 18 gauge in size, while needle gauges for injection into the patient range up to 31/32 gauge (the higher the gauge, the thinner the needle). The thinner the needle, the smaller the inside diameter, the greater the difficulty to draw medication into the syringe, from the vial. A higher gauge needle has a greater chance of damage when puncturing the septum of the vial. We believe the Sharps Provensa safety syringes will offer the only passive safety syringes that include draw needles with passive safety and low-waste features.

We know of no safety syringe on the market with all of these benefits.

The Sharps Provensa will come in 4 different designs for use in vials and pre-filled syringes. The Sharps Provensa will be usable in all traditional settings, including hospitals, clinics, physician offices, and pharmacies.

We are in discussions with pharmaceutical companies and distributors for sales of our Sharps Provensa. We also intend to market the Sharps Provensa to the US and foreign governments. In certain limited instances, we may also seek to sell the Sharps Provensa to hospitals and clinician offices.

Securgard ^TM has the following features and benefits:

	●	Traditional one-handed operation;

	●	Auto Disable Function prevents reuse;

	●	Reduces costly discarded medicine from every inefficient injection with our ultra-low waste space syringes;

	●	No leakage or breakage at the needlehead connection point;

	●	Prevents improper reuse of needles and syringes

Securgard products facilitate entry into markets not permitted by Sharps Provensa. The products have FDA approval, CE mark and WHO approval.

Manufacturing and Supply Agreement

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Nephron Agreement”) with InjectEZ, LLC (“InjectEZ”), Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”), Nephron SC, Inc. (“NSC”), and Nephron Sterile Compounding Center LLC (“Sterile”) (NPC, NSC, and Sterile are sometimes collectively referred to as “Nephron”), pursuant to which the Company will provide technical advice and assistance to support manufacturing by InjectEZ, purchase certain quantities of syringes as the Company may order or require, and collaborate with Nephron on certain related business endeavors.

The Nephron Agreement is for a period of four (4) years, expiring on September 28, 2026 and continues thereafter for successive one (1) year periods.

In connection with the Nephron Agreement, the Company will enter into a manufacturing and supply agreement with InjectEZ regarding the development and manufacture of high value pre-fillable syringe systems that can be used by the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical markets and including Nephron on terms agreed upon by the parties. The Nephron Agreement will allow for the supply of the pre-fillable systems of different sizes and with specialized technology that will be compatible with industry standards and technology beginning in early 2023. The Agreement also allows for further expansion of manufacturing capabilities by the Company working with InjectEZ to support future industry and customer demand of pre-fillable systems as detailed in the Agreement.

In connection with the Nephron Agreement, the Company will enter into a Pharma Services Program (PSP) with Nephron that will create new business development 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 healthcare Industry, pharmaceutical markets and Nephron.

In connection with the Nephron Agreement, the Company will enter into a distribution program with Nephron in which the Company can utilize Nephron’s third party logistics providers in support of distributing, obtaining product qualifications including clinical trials with Nephron’s healthcare customers for all products developed by the Company.

NPC is a West Columbia, S.C.-based company that develops and produces safe, affordable generic inhalation solutions and suspension products.

A copy of the Distribution Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 13, 2022, and also incorporated herein as Exhibit 10.28.

Competitive Environment

We anticipate our major domestic competitors will include Retractable Technologies, Inc., Becton Dickinson & Company, Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies (“Medtronic,” formerly known as Covidien), Terumo Medical Corp., Smiths Medical, and B Braun. Our competitors may have greater financial resources, larger and more established sales, marketing, and distribution organizations; and greater market influence, including long-term and/or exclusive contracts.

We anticipate that we will compete primarily on the basis of healthcare worker and patient safety, product performance, and quality. We believe our competitive advantages will include the combination of passive safety and ultra low waste features.

Government Regulations

In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, FDA regulations and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, medical device design and development, preclinical and clinical testing, premarket clearance or approval, registration and listing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, advertising and promotion, sales and distribution, export and import, and post-market surveillance. The FDA regulates the design, manufacturing, servicing, sale and distribution of medical devices. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as FDA refusal to approve pending applications, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to distribute commercially in the United States will require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to distribution. The two primary types of FDA marketing authorization applicable to a device are premarket notification, also called 510k clearance, and premarket approval, also called PMA approval. The type of marketing authorization is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the level of regulatory control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness. Devices requiring fewer controls because they are deemed to pose lower risk are placed in Class I or II. Class I devices are deemed to pose the least risk and are subject only to general controls applicable to all devices, such as requirements for device labeling, premarket notification and adherence to the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, known as the Quality System Regulations, or QSR. Class II devices are intermediate risk devices that are subject to general controls and may also be subject to special controls such as performance standards, product-specific guidance documents, special labeling requirements, patient registries or post-market surveillance. Class III devices are those for which insufficient information exists to assure safety and effectiveness solely through general or special controls and include life sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, devices of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Our Sharps Provensa has been cleared by the FDA under the 510k premarket notification process (Class II).

Outside of the United States, our ability to market our products will be contingent also upon our receiving marketing authorizations from the appropriate foreign regulatory authorities, whether or not FDA approval or clearance has been obtained. The foreign regulatory approval process in most industrialized countries generally encompasses risks similar to those we will encounter in the FDA approval or clearance process. The requirements governing conduct of clinical trials and marketing authorizations, and the time required to obtain requisite approvals, may vary widely from country to country and differ from those required for FDA approval or clearance.

The sale of medical products is subject to laws and regulations pertaining to health care fraud and abuse, including state and federal anti-kickback, anti-self-referral, and false claims laws in the United States.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights, particularly patent rights, are material to our business. We own three patents used in the Sharps Provensa, which expire between 2035 and 2040. Our issued patents include a design patent (USD743,025) for the ornamental design for a safety syringe, a patent (US 10,980,950) for an ultra low-waste needle and syringe system that automatically and passively renders a needle safe during the injection process, and a patent (US 11,154,663) for a pre-filled safety needle and syringe system.

We have three additional pending patent applications in the United States and one PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent application. The patent applications, which we own, have an anticipated expiration date of June 22, 2040. The pending patent applications are for (i) an ultra-low waste disposable syringe with self-adjusting integrating safety features, (ii) an ultra-low waste disposable safety syringe for low dose injections, and (iii) a needle and syringe system with automatic safety shield that renders a needle safe. Our pending patent applications are for utility patents. With respect to the last of these patent applications, we have, in addition to our United States patent application, also filed a PCT patent application. A PCT application is a single utility patent filing that provides international patent-pending status. By itself, a PCT application will not lead to foreign patents. To obtain foreign patents for this PCT patent application, we will need to file individual patent applications at a later time.

We have certain trademarks for Sharps Provensa, Sharps Provensa Ultra-Low Waste and filed applications to register other trademarks for use in our Sharps Provensa product line.

Recent Developments

Nephron Asset Purchase Agreement

At the Closing, Sharps will enter into a 10 year lease for the Facility in which the Assets are located and will be operated by the Company. The lease provides for four successive five year options, with a right to purchase the Facility, which lease will be effective upon Closing (the “Lease”). The Lease provides for a monthly rental fee of $40,550, subject to increase after 5 years based on CPI adjustments.

Private Placement

On September 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors purchasing common stock in this offering for a private placement offering (“Private Placement”) of (i) 2,581,479 unregistered shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof with each pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of common stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”)) and (ii) unregistered warrants to purchase 8,750,003 of our common stock (the “SS Warrants” and together with PIPE Shares (PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof), the “PIPE Securities”). Pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue and sell 2,581,479 PIPE Shares (or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) together with the SS Warrants to purchase up to 8,750,003 shares of common stock at a combined offering price of $1.074 per unit (less $0.001 for each PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant). The PIPE Securities were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The PIPE securities are being registered in this Registration Statement.

The PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, at a nominal exercise price of $0.001, and may be exercised at any time until all of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. Under the terms of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company may not effect the exercise of any such warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such warrant, if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of common stock would or could be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Company subject to the terms of such warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 9.99%

The SS Warrants have an exercise price of $0.64 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant), are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The SS Warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price including for stock splits, stock dividend, rights offerings and pro rata distributions.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the private placement, before deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $2,8 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

In connection with the PIPE Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investor. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale of the common stock, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the SS Warrants within fifteen (15) days after the closing date (the “Filing Date”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall be declared effective within 30 days after the Filing Date or 60 days following the Filing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC. The Company will be obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investor if the Company fails to file the resale registration statement when required, fails to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, of if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. This Registration Statement includes the securities issued with the Private Placement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

Aegis Capital Corp. acted as the placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to the engagement agreement , we paid Aegis a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Private Placement. The Company has also paid Aegis $100,000 for fees and expenses including attorney fees.

Employees

We have eighty full-time employees, one of which is our Chief Executive Officer, and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis to support R&D, Finance, Marketing and Regulatory areas. We do not have any part-time employees. Of the eighty employees, seventy-three work at our facilities in Hungary. We expect to add additional employees in order to increase production capacity.

Facilities

We lease office space, on a month-to-month basis, at 105 Maxess Road, Melville, New York 11747. Our monthly rent is $200.

We operate a manufacturing facility in Hungary acquired in July 2022, which we previously used for development and testing of our products and we currently use primarily for the manufacture of Sharps Provensa safety syringe. We are prepared to move our owned molds, machinery and equipment to an alternative manufacturing location if necessary. See “Background and Overview.”

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no withdrawal provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant.

If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the IPO Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the IPO Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of the IPO Warrants. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the IPO Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the IPO Warrants is $4.25 and adjusted to $.64 with this offering. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent sales of our common stock (or securities exercisable for convertible into common stock) at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the then-effective exercise price. In the event of such a subsequent sale, the exercise price will be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and subject to a minimum exercise price set forth in the IPO Warrants.

Forced Exercise and Redemption. The IPO Warrants will be subject to forced exercise commencing six months from issuance subject to the condition that the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 200% of the initial exercise price ($4.25) for twenty consecutive trading days and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Warrants. In the event that a holder fails to exercise the IPO Warrants within 30 days of notice of a forced exercise in accordance with the terms of the IPO Warrants, the Company may redeem the IPO Warrants at a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the IPO Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of IPO Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the IPO Warrants.

On September 27, 2023, Sharps Technology, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Agreement”), with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), for the issuance of (i) 2,581,479 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, and (ii) 8,750,003 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. The purchase price of each share is $0.64 share priced at-the-market under NASDAQ rules. The purchase price for the pre-funded warrants is identical to the purchase price for shares, less the exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Each unit consists of one pre-funded warrant and one non-tradable warrant (the “Selling Stockholders’ Warrants” or “SS Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $0.64 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire five and a half years from the issuance date.

The PIPE Offering closed on September 29, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $5.6 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the SS Warrants included in the Common Units offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant.

Exercisability. The SS Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five and a half years after their original issuance. The SS Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the SS Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the SS Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the SS Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of the SS Warrants. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the SS Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the SS Warrants is $0.64. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent sales of our common stock (or securities exercisable for convertible into common stock) at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the then-effective exercise price. In the event of such a subsequent sale, the exercise price will be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and subject to a minimum exercise price set forth in the SS Warrants.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the SS Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Warrant Agent. The SS Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agency agreement between VStock Transfer LLC, as warrant agent, and us. The SS Warrants shall initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the SS Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of an SS Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the SS Warrants.

Governing Law. The SS Warrants and the warrant agency agreement are governed by New York law.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more series, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders. Each such series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

Series A Preferred Stock

One share of our authorized preferred stock has been designated Series A Preferred Stock and is outstanding and held by our co-chairman and chief operating officer, Alan Blackman.

The Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 29.5% of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders with respect to the election of directors. Further, the Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible to common stock, has no rights to dividends, and has no liquidation rights.

On December 22, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to amend the voting rights for the holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to be entitled to twenty-nine and one-half percent (29.5%) vote from twenty-five percent (25%) vote. The amendment was provided for in the employment agreement of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Alan Blackman who is the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.

In the event the Company is sold during the two year period following completion of this offering at a price per share of more than 500% of the initial offering price per Common Unit in this offering, the Series A Preferred Stock, as in effect upon completion of this offering, will entitle the holder to 10% of the total purchase price. Pursuant to an arrangement with Alan Blackman effective July 27, 2023, Mr. Blackman has granted the board the right to vote such shares during the period that the Company is making certain payments to him. Once the Company makes the necessary payments, the share of Series A Preferred Stock will be surrendered for cancellation.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

VStock Transfer LLC is transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, or the NRS.

NRS Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.

The indemnification provisions in our bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Listing

We have applied to list our common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SSTS” and “SSTSW”, respectively.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that is it is the opinion of the SEC that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the investors upon exercise of the warrants and pre-funded warrants issued to the investors in the September 2023 Private Placement. For additional information regarding the issuances of those warrants and pre-funded warrants, see “Private Placement of Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past 2 years.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. The first numerical column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders, based on its ownership of shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants, and other warrants, as of October 16, 2023, assuming exercise of the warrants and pre-funded warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The second numerical column lists the maximum number of shares of common stock to be sold pursuant to this Registration Statement. The third numerical column lists the number of shares of Common Stock to be owned following the sale of shares registered herein. As of October 16, 2023, 15,274,457 shares of the Company’s’ common stock were issued and outstanding.

This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants and pre-funded warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants and pre-funded warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants.

Under the terms of the warrants, the investor may not exercise the warrants or pre-funded warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such investor, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%, or, 9.99%, as provided in the warrant or pre-funded warrant, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants or pre-funded warrants which have not been exercised (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

	●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers;

	●	block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

	●	purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;

	●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

	●	privately negotiated transactions;

	●	settlement of short sales;

	●	in transactions through broker dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

	●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

	●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP, New York, New York.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sharps Technology Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 on a recurring basis with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.

Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

Goodwill

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

At their issuance date and as of December 31, 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 statements 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 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 December, 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

Income Taxes

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

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.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.

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 $2.5M 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 50,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.25. The purchase price includes the fair market value of the common stock of $200,000 and the vested options of $183,135. 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 year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had remitted $594,000 and $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, 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 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period beginning after the closing on July 6, 2022.

The relative fair value of the assets acquired and related deferred tax liability is as follows:


Land	$	226,000
Building and affixed assets		2,648,000
Machinery		158,000
Inventory		32,000
Intangibles		64,712
Deferred tax liability		(192,000	)

Total	$	2,936,712

The useful lives for the acquired assets is Building - 20 years; Machinery – 5 to 10 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized as follows:

Schedule of Other Assets

	December 31,		December 31,

The Company and the Purchasers had entered into a Security Agreement whereby the Notes were 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 provided 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 of 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 was unknown at the time of the NPA and was 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 at 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 was 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 in Notes with proceeds from the IPO that closed on April 19, 2022.

The authoritative guidance, requires the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered.

The guidance also requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the company operates, length of carryback and carryforward periods and existing contracts that will result in future profits. After reviewing all the evidence, the company has recorded a full valuation allowance.

Note 13. Related Party Transactions and Balances

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accounts payable and accrued liabilities include $105,667 and $59,375, respectively, payable to officers and directors of the Company. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are due on demand (See Note 15).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

Note 1. Description of Business

Nature of Business

The accompanying condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss and statements of stockholders’ equity s for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 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, 2022 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, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

The accompanying 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital of $1,197,575 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.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

Cash and 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.

Level 3

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 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 six months ended June 30, 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.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

Derivative Instruments

At their issuance date and as of June 30, 2023, 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 of June 30, 2023, there were 13,788,724 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 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.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”, intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendment also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the adoption of the amendments and the potential impact it may have, if any, on its financial statements.

The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $287,000 fair market (FMV) charge to reflect the increase in the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. 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.
