Item 1. Business.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Description

                We design, develop, manufacture, and market innovative patented safety medical products for the healthcare industry.

                Our VanishPoint® safety needle products (consisting of 1cc tuberculin, insulin, and allergy antigen VanishPoint® syringes; 3cc, 5cc, and 10cc VanishPoint® syringes; the VanishPoint® blood collection tube holder; autodisable syringe and the VanishPoint® IV safety catheter) utilize a unique friction ring mechanism patented by Thomas J. Shaw, our Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer. VanishPoint® safety needle products are designed specifically to prevent needlestick injuries and to prevent reuse. The friction ring mechanism permits the automated retraction of the syringe needle into the barrel of the syringe, directly from the patient, after delivery of the medication is completed. The VanishPoint® blood collection tube holder utilizes the same mechanism to retract the needle after blood has been drawn from the patient. Closure of an attached end cap of the blood collection tube holder causes the needle to retract directly from the patient into the closed blood collection tube holder. The IV catheter also operates with a friction ring mechanism whereby the needle is retracted after insertion of the catheter into the patient.  We also have a Patient Safe™ syringe which reduces the risk of infection resulting from IV contamination that will likely be introduced into the market this year.

                Advantages of our VanishPoint® safety needle products include protection from needlestick injuries, prevention of cross contamination through reuse, and reduction of disposal and other associated costs. Federal regulation now requires the use of safe needle devices. We have an exclusive license from Thomas J. Shaw, our President and Chief Executive Officer, for the patent rights for our safety needle products which is in the process of being amended to cover additional patents and products.

                We and Thomas J. Shaw entered into a Technology License Agreement dated effective as of the 23rd day of June 1995, whereby Mr. Shaw granted us a worldwide exclusive license to manufacture, market, sell, and distribute ‘Licensed Products’ and ‘Improvements’ until the expiration of the last ‘Licensed Patents’ unless sooner terminated under certain conditions without right to sublicense. ‘Licensed Products’, ‘Improvements’, and ‘Licensed Patents’ are all terms that are extensively defined in the Technology License Agreement. In exchange, we paid a $500,000 initial licensing fee and a five percent royalty on gross sales after returns of ‘Licensed Products’.  Mr. Shaw entered into an agreement whereby Ms. Suzanne August, his former spouse, is entitled to $100,000 per quarter payable out of any royalties. See “Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, and Proprietary Rights” for a more detailed discussion.  The Technology License Agreement is in the process of being amended to cover additional patents and products.

                Our goal is to become a leading provider of safety medical products.

Our Development Over the Last Year

                Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally through numerous distributors. However, we have been blocked from access to the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by Becton Dickinson and Company (“BD”) which dominates our market. We initiated a lawsuit in 2007 against BD. The suit is for patent infringement, antitrust practices, and false advertising.

                We continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, our innovative technology, introduction of new products and, when necessary, litigation.  We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price. We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost.

                We are developing new safety medical products, some of which do not utilize our patented retraction technology. The Patient Safe™ syringe is one such product. This product reduces the risk of infection resulting from IV contamination.

Financial Information

                Please see the financial statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for information about our revenues, profits, and losses for the last three years, and total assets for the last two years.

Principal Products

                Our products with Notice of Substantial Equivalence to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and which are currently sold include the 1cc tuberculin, insulin, and an autodisable syringe allergy antigen VanishPoint®  syringes; 3cc, 5cc, and 10cc VanishPoint®  syringes; the VanishPoint®  blood collection tube holder; the VanishPoint®  IV safety catheter; and a small diameter tube adapter.  We also received a Notice of Substantial Equivalence for our Patient Safe™ syringe, which reduces the risk of infection resulting from IV contamination. We expect to have the Patient Safe™ syringe in the market in 2008.  From 1999 to 2001 and in 2003 ECRI (formerly known as the Emergency Care Research Institute), a recognized authority in evaluating medical devices, awarded the VanishPoint® syringe and blood collection tube holder its highest possible rating. Syringe sales comprised 98.6%, 98.8%, and 98.0% of revenues in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

                Our products (without Notice of Substantial Equivalence to the FDA), which are currently in development, include a dental syringe, a butterfly IV, and an autodisable syringe.

Principal Markets

                Our products are sold to and used by healthcare providers primarily in the United States (with 18.4% of revenues in 2007 generated from sales outside the United States) which include, but are not limited to, acute care hospitals, alternate care facilities, doctors’ offices, clinics, emergency centers, surgical centers, convalescent hospitals, Veterans Administration facilities, military organizations, public health facilities, and prisons.

                The syringe and needle device market continues to be a market in transition. The nature of the products comprising the market is slowly changing from standard to safety devices. The impetus for the change to safety devices is the risk that is carried with each needlestick injury which includes the transmission of over 20 bloodborne pathogens, including the human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV,” which causes AIDS), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Because of the occupational and public health hazards posed by conventional disposable syringes, public health policy makers, domestic organizations and government agencies have been involved in the effort to get more effective safety needle products to healthcare workers. Federal legislation was signed into law on November 6, 2000, by former President William Clinton. This legislation, which became effective for most states on April 12, 2001, now requires safety needle products be used for the vast majority of procedures.  However, even with this requirement, many hospitals are neglecting to follow the law intended to protect healthcare workers.

Methods of Marketing and Distribution

                Under the current supply chain system in the U.S. acute care market, the vast majority of decisions relating to the contracting for and purchasing of medical supplies are made by the representatives of group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) rather than the end-users of the product (nurses, doctors, and testing personnel). The GPOs and manufacturers often enter into long-term exclusive contracts which can prohibit entry in the marketplace by competitors.

                We distribute our products throughout the U.S. and its territories through general line and specialty distributors. We also utilize international distributors. We have developed a national direct marketing network in order to market our products to health care customers and their purchaser representatives. Our marketers make calls on target markets that are users of these products.  Our marketers make contact with all of the departments that affect the decision-making process for safety products, including the purchasing agents. They call on acute care and alternate care sites and speak directly with the decision-makers of these facilities. We employ trained

2

clinicians, including registered nurses and/or medical technologists that educate healthcare providers and healthcare workers on the use of safety devices through exhibits at related tradeshows and publications of relevant articles in trade journals and magazines. These nurses provide clinical support to customers. In addition to marketing our products, the network demonstrates the safety and cost effectiveness of the VanishPoint® automated retraction products to customers.

                In the needle and syringe market, the market share leader, BD, has utilized, among other things, long-term exclusive contracts which have restricted our entry into the market.

                We have numerous agreements with organizations for the distribution of our products in foreign markets. Sales to these markets increased from 12.2% to 18.4% of revenues in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The total population of Western Europe exceeds 310 million, and the recognition for the urgency of safe needle devices in parts of Europe has followed the United States model. In France, England, Germany, and Italy, organized healthcare worker unions have taken action to force hospitals and government agencies to place safety as a priority. Regions within Asia and Africa are also recognizing the need for our products.  In the past, we were given an award (from PATH) to supply syringes to various African countries.  Awards increased significantly from 2004 to 2007.  However, currently there is no funding for this program.  We are hopeful that funding will be re-established.  If so, we will again also distribute our products under this program.

                Key components of our strategy to increase our market share are to: (a) focus on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer products at a reduced price and improved profit margins; (b) continue marketing emphasis in the U.S.; (c) continue to add Veterans Administration facilities, health departments, emergency medical services, federal prisons, long-term care and home healthcare facilities as customers; (d) educate healthcare providers, insurers, healthcare workers, government agencies, government officials, and the general public on the reduction of risk and the cost effectiveness afforded by our products; (e) supply product through GPOs and Integrated Delivery Networks where possible; (f) consider possibilities for future licensing agreements and joint venture agreements for the manufacture and distribution of safety products in the United States and abroad; (g) introduce new products where market access is possible; and (h) continue to increase international sales.

Status of New Products

                We have patented and are in the process of developing additional safety medical products. Such products include a ½cc insulin syringe, and a dental syringe for which we have developed early stage prototypes.  We have shipped limited quantities of the autodisable syringe and IV catheters. We have also developed a Patient Safe™ syringe which reduces the risk of infection resulting from IV contamination.  Our limited access to the market has slowed the introduction of these products into the market.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

                We purchase most of our product components from single suppliers, including needle adhesives and packaging materials. There are multiple sources of these materials. We own the molds that are used to manufacture the plastic components of our products. Our suppliers include Magor Mold, Inc., Helix Medical (formerly APEC), Multivac, Inc., Exacto Spring Corporation, Sterigenics, and ISPG.  Some suppliers have increased their prices generally due to the increase in costs of petroleum products.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, and Proprietary Rights

                We and Thomas J. Shaw entered into a Technology License Agreement dated effective as of the 23rd day of June, 1995, whereby Mr. Shaw granted us “… a worldwide exclusive license and right under the ‘Licensed Patents’ and ‘Information’, to manufacture, market, sell and distribute ‘Licensed Products’ and ‘Improvements’ without right to sublicense and subject to such nonexclusive rights as may be possessed by the Federal Government…”. ‘Licensed Patents’, ‘Information’, ‘Licensed Products’, and ‘Improvements’ are all defined extensively in the Technology License Agreement. We may enter into

3

sublicensing arrangements with Mr. Shaw’s written approval of the terms and conditions of the licensing agreement. The ‘Licensed Products’ include all retractable syringes and retractable fluid sampling devices and components thereof, assembled or unassembled, which comprise an invention described in ‘Licensed Patents’, and improvements thereof  including any and all ‘Products’ which employ the inventive concept disclosed or claimed in the ‘Licensed Patents’.  The Technology License Agreement is in the process of being amended to cover additional patents and products.

                In exchange, we negotiated a licensing fee and agreed to pay a five percent royalty on gross sales after returns. The license terminates upon expiration of the last licensed patents unless sooner terminated under certain circumstances. The licensing fees have been paid in accordance with this agreement with the exception of $1,500,000 in fees which were waived by Mr. Shaw and his former wife.

                We have the right and obligation to obtain protection of the invention, including prosecution of patent properties. The license unilaterally changes to a nonexclusive license in the event of a hostile takeover. Also, if Mr. Shaw involuntarily loses control of the Company, the license becomes a nonexclusive license and a right to information.

                We seek foreign patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty and have filed applications for regional and national patent protection in selective countries where we believe the VanishPoint® syringe can be utilized most.

                We hold numerous U.S. patents related to our automated retraction technology, including patents for IV safety catheters, winged IV sets, syringes, dental syringes, and blood collection tube holders. In addition, we have multiple applications for patents currently pending. The principal syringe patent in the U.S., as well as its foreign counterpart, will expire in May 2015.  We have also registered the following trade names and trademarks: VanishPoint®, VanishPoint® logos, RT with a circle mark, the Spiral Logo used in packaging our products, and the color coded spots on the ends of our syringes. We also have trademark protection for the phrase “The New Standard for Safety.” We have applied for a trademark for the Patient Safe™ syringe.

                We have a patent infringement claim pending against BD.  There are also two patent infringement claims pending against us as well as a declaratory judgment action seeking a determination of non-infringement.  These claims are detailed in Item 3.  Legal Proceedings. We have decided, on the advice of patent counsel, not to purchase patent insurance because it would require inappropriate disclosure of information that is currently proprietary and confidential.

                We currently obtain roughly 73.1% of our finished products through Double Dove, a Chinese manufacturer.  We believe we could make up any long-term disruption in these supplies by utilizing more of the capacity at the Little Elm facility, except for 5cc and 10cc syringes which comprised about 7.6% of our 2007 revenues.

     We have a Licensing Agreement with Baiyin Tonsun Medical Device Co., Ltd. (“BTMD”) which expires on May 13, 2008. Royalties that were expected in 2007 were not received due to the time needed to build the factory, assembly equipment, and the related infrastructure as well as the need of BTMD to meet the requisite Chinese government requirements. The facility has been completed and BTMD is in the process of meeting Chinese government requirements.  Although successful renegotiation and/or extension of this agreement cannot be assumed, we still continue to expect royalty payments although we are unable to predict the date we will begin to receive such royalties. Royalties should begin once Chinese government requirements are met and BTMD is able to produce and sell products.

Seasonal Effect on Business

                We have generally experienced higher syringe sales during the last half of the year which we believe is due to flu season.

Working Capital Practices

                Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

                We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized.  No product has been consigned to customers.  Our allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables.  Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance.  An additional allowance has been established based on a percentage of receivables outstanding.  These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible.  Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms.

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

                Receivables are established for federal and state taxes where we have determined we are entitled to a refund for overpayments of estimated taxes or loss carry backs.

                Accounts payable and other short-term liabilities include amounts that we believe we have an obligation for at the end of year.  These included charges for goods or services received in 2007 but not billed to us at the end of the year.  It also included estimates of potential liabilities such as rebates and other fees.

                Our domestic return policy is set forth in our standard Distribution Agreement, a copy of which was attached as exhibit no. 6.3 to our Form 10-SB filed on June 23, 2000.  This policy provides that a customer may return incorrect shipments within 10 days following arrival at the distributor’s facility.  In all such cases the distributor must obtain an authorization code from us and affix the code to the returned product.  We will not accept returned goods without a returned goods authorization number.  We may refund the customer’s money or replace the product.

                Our international contracts do not provide for any returns.

                Our return policy also provides that a customer may return product that is overstocked.  Overstocking returns are limited to two times in each 12 month period up to one percent of distributor’s total purchase of products for the prior 12 month period upon the following terms: i) an “overstocked” product is that portion of distributor’s inventory of the product which exceeds distributor’s sales volume for the product during the preceding four months; ii) distributor must not have taken delivery of the product which is overstocked during the preceding four months; iii) overstocked product held by distributor in excess of 12 months from the date of original invoice will not be eligible for return; iv) the overstocked product must be returned to us in our saleable case cartons which are unopened and untampered, with no broken or re-taped seals;  v) distributor will be granted a credit which may be used only to purchase other products from us, the credit to be in the amount of the invoice price of the returned products less a 10% restocking fee which will be assessed against distributor’s subsequent purchase of product; vi) distributor must obtain an authorization code from our distribution department and affix the code to the returned product; and vii) distributor shall bear the cost of shipping the returned products to us.  All product overstocks and returns are subject to inspection and acceptance by manufacturer.

Dependence on Major Customers

                Three distributors accounted for an aggregate of 36.5% of our revenue in 2007. We have numerous other distributors that sell our products in the U.S. and internationally.

Backlog Orders

                Order backlog is not material to our business inasmuch as orders for our products generally are received and filled on a current basis, except for items temporarily out of stock.

5

Competitive Conditions

                We believe our products continue to be the most effective safety devices in today’s market. Our syringe products include passive safety activation, require less disposal space, and are activated while in the patient.   We have three major competitors: BD, Tyco International Ltd.(“Tyco”), and Terumo Medical Corp.(“Terumo”).

                Founded in 1897, BD is headquartered in New Jersey. BD’s safety-engineered device sales accounted for approximately 22% of BD’s total 2007 sales. BD currently manufactures the SafetyLok™, a syringe that utilizes a tubular plastic sheath that must be manually slid over the needle after an injection, and the SafetyGlide™, a needle which utilizes a hinged lever to cover the needle tip. BD also manufactures a safety blood collection and hypodermic needle that utilizes the Eclipse™ needle cover. BD also manufactures a 3cc and 1cc retracting needle product based on a license agreement with Specialized Health Products International, Inc. (formerly the Med-Design Corporation).  The Integra™, a retractable syringe offered by BD, does not offer a full product line and cannot be used with highly viscous medication due to leakage (as described on their labels). The introduction of this syringe has had little impact on our sales due to BD’s historic market dominance.  BD’s “Vacutainer®” blood collection products are commonly used as industry jargon to refer to blood collection products in general.

                Sherwood Medical Co. (“Sherwood”), was acquired by Tyco, a company headquartered in Bermuda. Sherwood manufactures the Monoject®, a safety syringe that utilizes a sheath similar to the BD SafetyLok™ syringe. Sherwood also manufactures the Magellan safety syringe, a product similar to the BD SafetyGlide™.

                Founded in 1974, Terumo was the first company to sell disposable syringes in Japan. Today Terumo manufactures standard syringes and blood collection tube holders, operates internationally, and has sales in some 120 countries.

                Both BD’s SafetyLok™ and Sherwood’s Monoject® safety syringes require the use of two hands and several extra steps to activate the tubular plastic shield which must be slid and locked into place to protect the needle. These products must be removed from the patient in order for the safety mechanism to be activated.  In contrast, use of the VanishPoint® syringe is identical to that of a standard syringe until the end of an injection, when the automated retraction mechanism retracts the needle directly from the patient safely into the barrel of the syringe. This allows both hands to remain safely out of harm’s way. BD’s Integra™ operates in a similar way but may have to be removed from the patient in order to have retraction of the needle occur.

                BD and Sherwood have controlling U.S. market share; greater financial resources; larger and more established sales, marketing and distribution organizations; and greater market influence, including the long-term and/or exclusive contracts with GPOs described earlier. The current conditions have restricted competition in the needle and syringe market. BD may be able to use its resources to improve its products through research or acquisitions or develop new products, which may compete more effectively with our products.

We continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, our innovative technology, introduction of new products and, when necessary, litigation. We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to compete by offering our technology at a reduced price. We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost.

                Our competitive strengths include that the VanishPoint® syringe is one of four syringes previously given the highest possible rating by ECRI. Our blood collection tube holder is one of only two safety products previously given the highest possible rating. Our safety needle products also have an advantage over non-retracting safety needles because minimal training and changes to practitioners’ normal routines are required. Use of our products also prohibits unfortunate and improper reuse. Several factors could materially and beneficially affect the marketability of our products. Demand could be increased by existing legislation and other legislative and investigative efforts. Outsourcing arrangements such as our purchases from Double Dove have increased our manufacturing capacity with little or no capital outlay and provide a competitive cost.  Licensing

6

agreements such as the one with BTMD (which we expect to be renegotiated and/or extended prior to its termination in May 2008) could provide entry into new markets and generate additional revenue. A discussion of the BTMD agreement can be found in Item 1. Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, and Proprietary Rights and repeated in Item 7. OVERVIEW and Internal Sources of Liquidity.

                Our competitive weaknesses include our current lack of market share because two well-established companies control most of the U.S. market. Our competitive position is also weakened by the method that providers use for making purchasing decisions and the fact that our initial price per unit for our safety needle products may be higher. However, our price per unit is competitive or even lower than the competition once all the costs incurred during the life cycle of a syringe are considered. Such life cycle costs include disposal costs, testing and treatment costs for needlestick injuries, and treatment for contracted illnesses through needlestick injuries. Demand for our products could decrease due to the sale of the Integra™, a retractable syringe manufactured by BD, which dominates the market.  Although, to date, the introduction of the Integra™ has not noticeably impacted our sales, BD has a wider range of product offerings and more capital resources.

Research and Development

                We spent $934,209; $958,798; and $1,071,143 in fiscal 2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively, on research and development. Costs in 2007 were primarily for validation testing and development work for the safety catheter as well as higher compensation costs.  Our ongoing research and development activities are performed by an internal research and development staff. This team of engineers is developing process improvements for current and future automated machines. Products currently in development include a ½cc insulin syringe, a Patient Safe™ syringe, an IV catheter and a dental syringe. Our limited access to the market has slowed the introduction of these products into the market. Possible future products include needle medical devices to which the automated retraction mechanism can be applied as well as other safety medical devices.

Environmental Compliance

                We believe that we do not incur material costs in connection with compliance with environmental laws. We are considered a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator because we generate less than 100 kilograms (220 lbs.) of hazardous waste per month. Therefore, we are exempt from the reporting requirements set forth by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The waste that is generated at our facility is primarily made up of flammable liquids and paint-related waste and is sent for fuel blending by Safety Kleen. This fuel blending process completely destroys our waste and satisfies our “cradle-to-grave” responsibility.

                Other nonhazardous production waste includes clean polypropylene regrind that is sold for recycling. We also grind dirty plastics, syringes, and needles for disposal by Waste Management. All other nonhazardous waste produced is considered municipal solid waste and sent to a sanitary landfill by Waste Management.

                We also produce small amounts of regulated biohazardous waste from contaminated sharps and laboratory wastes. This waste is sent for incineration by Stericycle.

Employees

                As of March 1, 2008, we had 138 full-time employees, five part-time employees, and six independently contracted consultants. Of the 138 full-time employees, seven persons were engaged in research and development activities, 56 persons were engaged in manufacturing and engineering, 17 persons were engaged in quality assurance and regulatory affairs, 36 persons were engaged in sales and marketing, 20 persons were engaged in general and administrative functions, and two persons in facilities.  No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We are dependent upon a number of management and technical personnel, and the loss of services of one or more of such employees could have a material adverse effect on us. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J. Shaw, has an

7

employment contract with an initial term that ended on September 2002 that contains an automatic and continuous renewal provision for consecutive two-year periods.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

                We have no long-lived assets in foreign countries. Shipments to international customers generally require a prepayment either by wire transfer or an irrevocable confirmed letter of credit.  We do extend credit to international customers on some occasions depending upon certain criteria, including, but not limited to, the credit worthiness of the customer, the stability of the country, banking restrictions, and the size of the order.  All transactions are in U.S. currency. We attribute sales to countries based on the destination of shipment.

Government Funding of Research and Right to License

                Thomas J. Shaw developed his initial version of a safety syringe with the aid of grants by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, a subsidiary of the National Institutes of Health. As a result, the federal government has the right, where the public interest justifies it, to disperse the technology to multiple manufacturers so that the safety syringe can be made widely available to the public. However, the funding was only used to develop and patent the earlier syringe design as of 1991. That syringe was a bulkier, less effective, and more expensive version of the current VanishPoint® product. Accordingly and on the advice of counsel, Management believes that the risk of the government demanding manufacture of this alternative product is minimal.

Available Information

                Our internet address is www.vanishpoint.com.  We make our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) available via our website.  Upon request, we will be pleased to deliver written copies of our filings free of charge.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

                You should carefully consider the following material risks facing us.  If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially affected.

We Compete in a Monopolistic Marketplace

                We operate in an environment that is dominated by the major syringe manufacturer in the U.S., BD.  We believe that its monopolistic business practices continue despite its paying us $100 million to settle a lawsuit for anticompetitive practices, business disparagement, and tortious interference.  Although we made limited progress in some areas, such as the alternate care and international markets, our volumes are not as high as they should be given the nature and quality of our product, and the federal and state legislation requiring use of safe needle devices.

Our Cash Position Is Decreasing and Legal Expenses Are Increasing

                Due to our operating losses and currently increasing legal fees, our cash position declined $6.3 million in 2007.  The litigation will continue to require a significant amount of cash until the issues are resolved.  Our lawsuit against BD is currently scheduled for trial in March 2009.  After conclusion of the trial, legal expenses are expected to decrease significantly.

In the event we continue to have only limited market access and the cash provided by the litigation settlements and generated from operations becomes insufficient and royalties from BTMD are not forthcoming, we would take cost cutting measures to reduce cash requirements. Such measures could result in reduction of units being produced, reduction of workforce, reduction of salaries of officers and other nonhourly employees, and deferral of royalty payments.

We Have Generally Been Unable to Gain Sufficient Market Access to Achieve Profitable Operations

Historically, we have incurred net operating losses including all fiscal quarters of 2007.  We may experience operating losses in the future. If we are unable to gain sufficient market access and market share, we may be unable to continue to finance research and development as well as support operations and expansion of production.

We Are Dependent On Our Aging Patent Protection

Our main competitive strength is our technology.  We are dependent on our patent rights, and if our patent rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business would be adversely affected.  Patent protection is considered, in the aggregate, to be of material importance in our marketing of products in the United States and in most major foreign markets.  Patents covering products that we have introduced normally provide market exclusivity, which is important for the successful marketing and sale of our products.

As our technology ages (and the associated patent life expires), our competitive position in the marketplace will weaken.  The initial patents protecting our revolutionary spring action syringe will expire beginning in May 2015.  Patent life may be extended, not through the original patents, but through related improvements.  Eventually, however, our patent protection may decrease and we will be vulnerable to other competitors utilizing our technology.

Our Patents Are Subject to Litigation

We are currently involved in patent disputes with BD, Occupational and Medical Innovations Limited (“OMI”) and MedSafe Technologies LLC (“MedSafe”).  See Item 3 Legal Proceedings below.  Patent litigation and challenges involving our patents are costly and unpredictable and may deprive us of market exclusivity for a patented product or, in some cases, third party patents may prevent us from marketing and selling a product in a particular geographic area.

We Are Vulnerable to New Technologies

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

Our Competitors Have Greater Resources

The three leading manufacturers of hypodermic syringes and blood collection products are BD with a worldwide market share in the safety syringe market of approximately 50%, Sherwood with approximately 26%, and Terumo with a market share of approximately 10%.  All three companies offer both standard syringes and at least one safety syringe alternative.  BD also offers a retractable syringe.  BD and Sherwood have greater financial resources, larger and more established sales and marketing and distribution organizations, and greater market influence, including long-term contracts with GPOs.  These competitors may be able to use these resources to improve their products through research and acquisitions or develop new products, which may compete more effectively with our products.

If our competitors choose to use their resources to create products superior to ours, we may be unable to sell our products and our ability to continue operations would be weakened.

The Majority of Our International Sales Are Filled Using One Supplier

Most international sales are filled by production from Double Dove. In the event that we were unable to purchase such product from Double Dove, we would need to find an alternate supplier for the 5cc and 10cc syringes and increase domestic production for 1cc and 3cc syringes to avoid a disruption in supply. Currently, approximately 73.1% of our production is provided by Double Dove.

Fluctuations in Supplies of Inventory Could Temporarily Increase Costs

Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials and inventory and the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships could result in the need to manufacture all (as opposed to 26.9%) of the products in the U.S.  This could temporarily increase unit costs as we ramp up domestic production.

We Are Controlled by Two Shareholders

Thomas J. Shaw, our President and a Director, Lillian E. Salerno, one of our consultants, and Ms. Suzanne August own 35.3%, 10.2%, and 11.8%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock as of March 1, 2008.  The shares held by Ms. August are controlled by Mr. Shaw pursuant to a Voting Agreement, which terminates upon sale of all the shares for value or if terminated by both parties in writing.  Mr. Shaw and Ms. Salerno will, therefore, have the ability to direct our operations and financial affairs and to substantially influence the election of members of our Board of Directors.  The interests of these persons may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. This concentration of ownership, for example, 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 acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could materially adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.  Of the 23,800,064 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2008, Officers and Directors own 10,143,064 of the shares.

We Have Limited Access to the Capital Markets

The volume of trading in our Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) is low.  Accordingly, it is unclear if there is any significant market for our shares.  This may reduce our ability to raise cash through public or private offerings in the future.

Our Stock Price Sometimes Decreases Below AMEX Listing Standards

Our share price fluctuates and sometimes falls below $2.00 which is required for listing on the AMEX under its alternative listing standards.  The AMEX may initiate delisting procedures, in its discretion.  Delisting of our shares would greatly affect the liquidity of our shares and would reduce our ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the future.  However, we believe such delisting application to be unlikely.  Furthermore, in the event that we receive a deficiency letter from the AMEX, we will have the right to appeal such determination.  In addition, entities that are given such notices are usually given up to 18 months to execute a plan to bring themselves into compliance with the listing standards.

Our Interest Income May Decrease

Future interest income may be negatively affected by lowering interest rates and our current movement of cash to U.S. Treasury bills and other U.S. government backed securities.

10

Oil Prices and Transportation Costs May Increase Our Costs

As our products are made from petroleum products, the high cost of oil and transportation may have a negative impact on our costs to the extent they may not be recoverable through price increases of our products.

Current Economic Conditions May Decrease Collectability of Accounts

Although we believe that we have granted credit to credit-worthy firms, current economic conditions may affect the timing and/or collectability of some accounts.

We Face Inherent Product Liability Risks

As a manufacturer and provider of safety needle products, we face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event of product failure or claim of harm caused by product operation. Product failure could result in injury to the patient and could expose healthcare workers to the risk of blood borne pathogens.  If any of our products prove to be defective, we may be required to recall those products.  If a product liability claim is made and damages are in excess of our product liability coverage, our competitive position could be weakened by the amount of money we could be required to pay to compensate those injured by our products.  We have product liability coverage with St. Paul Insurance Company covering up to $1,000,000 per occurrence, with coverage up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Each claim is subject to a $25,000 deductible.  Additionally, we have additional product liability protection under an Umbrella Liability Policy.  This policy provides an additional $10,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate limits in the event claims exceed the primary commercial general liability policy limit.  We have not had any product liability claims.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable and none.

Item 2. Properties.

Our 22,500 square foot headquarters is located at 511 Lobo Lane, on 35 acres, which we own, overlooking Lake Lewisville in Little Elm, Texas.  The headquarters are in good condition and house our administrative offices and manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility produced approximately 26.9% of the units that were sold in 2007.  We placed a 45,000 square foot warehouse in service in March 2005.   In the event of a disruption in service of our outside supplier, Double Dove, we believe we could produce quantities sufficient to meet demand under current circumstances except for demand for 5cc and 10cc syringes which are sold principally in the international market.  In that event, we would attempt to engage another manufacturer. We are currently utilizing less than 50% of our current productive capacity.

We obtained a loan from 1st International Bank (“1st International”) for $2,500,000, secured by the land and existing buildings, which provided funding for the construction of the 45,000 square foot warehouse placed in service in 2005. The proceeds from the loan were used to pay off the remaining $475,000 of the revolving credit agreement with 1st International in addition to funding the warehouse and related infrastructure. The payments for the permanent funding are based on a twenty-year amortization with a five-year maturity. Interest rates are based on the amount of funds kept on deposit with the bank. Accordingly, interest will vary from the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “WSJPR”) to the WSJPR plus one percent, with floors that may range from 4.25% to 6.50%. Compensating balances at 1st International affecting the interest rate will range from $0 to $500,000.

The Board of Directors has approved our obtaining financing for up to $4.5 million for a capital project to expand the warehouse.  The expansion will include additional warehouse space, additional office space, and a new Clean Room.  We are in the process of finalizing the financing which will be secured by a second lien on the land and buildings.

In the opinion of Management, the property and equipment are suitable for their intended use and are adequately covered by an insurance policy.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On August 12, 2005, we filed a lawsuit against Abbott Laboratories Inc. (“Abbott”) in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. We are alleging fraud and breach of contract in connection with the National Marketing and Distribution Agreement dated as of May 4, 2000, which was terminated on October 15, 2003. We are seeking damages which we estimate to be in millions of dollars of lost profits, out of pocket expenses, and other damages. In addition, we are seeking punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and attorney’s fees. On October 31, 2005, Abbott moved to dismiss our suit and to compel arbitration of the dispute.  The Court ruled in our favor and denied the motion to compel arbitration.  Abbott appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit on February 27, 2007.  Briefing has been completed and oral argument was conducted on March 3, 2008.  It is not possible to predict when exactly the Fifth Circuit will decide the appeal or how.  Whether the matter proceeds in litigation or arbitration, Abbott may counterclaim for amounts that Abbott believes are owed by us under the agreement.

In August 2006, we were sued by OMI in Federal Court of Australia, alleging that two letters written to OMI by our outside counsel contained unjustified threats, but seeking no damages. OMI later amended its complaint to seek a declaratory judgment that OMI does not infringe our Australian patents, again seeking no damages.  Following a one-day trial in June 2007, the Court held that one of the two letters written by outside counsel contained an unjustified threat and awarded costs to OMI.  A one-day trial of the declaratory judgment (that OMI does not infringe on our Australian patents) action is set for April 2008.

On June 15, 2007, we filed a lawsuit against BD in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.  We subsequently amended the complaint to add Thomas Shaw as a plaintiff.  We are alleging violations of the federal and state antitrust laws, violation of the Lanham Act, and patent infringement.  Please see Exhibit No. 99 to our Form 8-K filed on June 19, 2007, for details regarding the factual basis underlying the action as well as the relief sought.  We are seeking both damages and injunctive relief in the suit.  In January 2008, the Court severed the patent claims from the other claims and stayed proceedings in the other claims pending resolution of the patent dispute.  BD has denied the allegations and has counterclaimed for a declaration that our asserted patents are invalid and unenforceable.  The patent case is set for trial in March 2009.

On September 6, 2007, BD and MDC Investment Holdings, Inc. filed a complaint against us  in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division.  Plaintiffs allege that our VanishPoint® product line infringes U.S. patent nos. 6,179,812 and 7,090,656.  Plaintiffs seek a declaration of infringement, an injunction against further infringement, compensatory damages (with interest), the costs of the litigation, and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.  We have counterclaimed for a declaration that the asserted patents are invalid and unenforceable.  No trial date has been set.

On March 14, 2008, MedSafe filed a complaint against us and BD in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Greenville Division.  Plaintiffs allege that our VanishPoint® syringe product line and BD’s Integra™ product line infringe U.S. patent no. 6,074,370.   Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, including compensatory damages (with prejudgment interest) and any further relief as the Court deems appropriate. No trial date has been set.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote during the fourth quarter of 2007.

PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

                There were no sales of unregistered securities in the first or second quarter.  One sale of unregistered securities in the third quarter of 2007 was reported in our Form 10-Q quarterly report filed with the SEC which is available via EDGAR.   One non-accredited shareholder converted 5,000 shares of Series II Class B Convertible Preferred stock on a one-for-one basis for no additional consideration into Common Stock in the fourth quarter.

MARKET INFORMATION

                Our Common Stock has been listed on the AMEX under the symbol “RVP” since May 4, 2001. Shown below are the high and low sales prices of our Common Stock as reported by the AMEX for each quarter of the last two fiscal years:

SHAREHOLDERS

As of March 1, 2008, there were 23,800,064 shares of Common Stock held by 280 shareholders of record not including shareholders who beneficially own Common Stock held in nominee or “street name.”

DIVIDENDS

We have not ever declared or paid any dividends on the Common Stock. We have no current plans to pay any cash dividends on the Common Stock. We intend to retain all earnings, except those required to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock as resources allow, to support operations and future growth. Dividends on Common Stock cannot be paid so long as preferred dividends are unpaid. As of December 31, 2007, an aggregate of $12,500,000 in preferred dividends were in arrears.

On March 27, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend on the Series I and Series II Class B Convertible Preferred Stock to be paid on July 24, 2007 to Shareholders of Record on July 2, 2007.  Arrearages were paid through June 30, 2007 in the approximate amount of $1.1 million.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT WARNING

Certain statements included by reference in this filing containing the words “could,” “may,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” and similar such words constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Any forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, our ability to maintain liquidity, our maintenance of patent protection, the impact of current litigation (as it affects our costs as well as market access and the viability of our patents), the ability to successfully re-negotiate or extend the BTMD license agreement and the receipt of payments thereunder, the impact of dramatic increases in demand, our ability to quickly increase capacity in the event of a dramatic increase in demand, our ability to access the market, our ability to maintain or lower production costs, our ability to continue to finance research and development as well as operations and expansion of production, the increased interest of larger market players, specifically BD, in providing safety needle products, and other factors listed in Item 1A. Risk Factors. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We have been manufacturing and marketing safety products into the marketplace since 1997. We are currently transitioning into providing other safety medical products in addition to safety syringe products which comprised 98.0% of our sales in 2007. One such product, the Patient Safe™ syringe should enter the market in 2008. Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally through numerous distributors. However, we have been blocked from access to the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD which dominates the market. We believe that BD’s monopolistic business practices continue despite their paying $100 million in 2004 to settle a lawsuit with us for anticompetitive practices, business disparagement, and tortious interference.  Although we made limited progress in some areas, such as the alternate care and international markets, our volumes are not as high as they should be given the nature and quality of our product, the federal and state legislation requiring use of safe needle devices, and the Senate Subcommittee hearings on GPOs.  We continue to pursue various strategies to have better access to the hospital market, as well as other markets, including attempting to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, our innovative technology, introduction of new products and, when necessary, litigation.

We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price.  We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes, improve profit margins, and improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost. We are also marketing more products internationally.  Beginning in 2004, we were given an award (from PATH) to supply syringes to various African countries.  Awards increased significantly from 2004 to 2007.  However, currently there is no funding for this program.  We are hopeful that funding will be re-established.  If so, we will again also distribute our products under this program.  We continue to produce syringes and blood collection tube holders in Little Elm, Texas.

Additionally, an Australian distributor was awarded a one-year contract in March 2007 to supply our VanishPoint®  automated retraction syringes to all of Queensland Health’s 202 acute care facilities.  Queensland Health is a department within the government of Queensland, Australia.  The contract was

15

effective immediately and renewable for two years.  VanishPoint® products are distributed in Australia by Brisbane-based Scientific Educational Supplies Pty Ltd.

Product purchases from Double Dove have enabled us to increase manufacturing capacity with little capital outlay and provided a competitive manufactured cost.  These purchases have enabled improved profit margins in spite of limited revenues.  The cost of production per unit has generally declined as volumes increased. We currently obtain roughly 73.1% of our finished products through Double Dove. We believe we could make up any long-term disruption in these supplies by utilizing more of the capacity at the Little Elm facility, except for 5cc and 10cc syringes which comprised about 7.6% of our 2007 revenues.

We have a Licensing Agreement with BTMD which expires on May 13, 2008. Royalties that were expected in 2007 were not received due to the time needed to build the factory, assembly equipment, and the related infrastructure as well as the need of BTMD to meet the requisite Chinese government requirements. The facility has been completed and BTMD is in the process of meeting Chinese government requirements.  Although successful renegotiation and/or extension of this agreement cannot be assured, we still continue to expect royalty payments although we are unable to predict the date we will begin to receive such royalties. Royalties should begin once Chinese government requirements are met and BTMD is able to produce and sell products.

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

We are committed to the expansion of an existing warehouse. This expansion will increase our warehouse area, provide for additional office space, and add a second Clean Room.

LIQUIDITY AND FUTURE CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the present time Management does not intend to raise equity capital in 2008. Due to the litigation settlements, we have sufficient cash reserves and intend to rely on operations, cash reserves, and debt financing as the primary ongoing sources of cash.

Historical Sources of Liquidity

We have historically funded operations primarily from proceeds from private placements, loans, and litigation settlements. We were capitalized with approximately $52,600,000 raised from six separate private placement offerings. We raised $47,375,600 in cash from the private sales of an aggregate of 11,710,221 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, we obtained a cancellation of $3,679,284 in debt and $1,550,000 in Accounts payable in exchange for Series V Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.

We obtained $3,910,000 in 2000 from bank loans of which $3,435,000 has been repaid and $475,000 was refinanced with a new note with 1st International. Additionally, we received a Small Business Administration loan of $1,000,000 in 1996 to pay for portions of automated assembly equipment, multi-cavity molds, and other equipment. This loan has been repaid. Furthermore, we borrowed $5,000,000 in 2000 under our Credit Agreement with Abbott. In October 2002 we repaid the Abbott note with proceeds from a new note from Katie Petroleum, Inc. (“Katie Petroleum”) for $3,000,000 and a portion of the proceeds from a private placement.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

To achieve break even quarters we need minimal access to hospital markets which has been difficult to obtain due to the monopolistic marketplace which was the subject of our initial lawsuit and now also included in our second lawsuit against BD. We will also continue to attempt to gain access to the market through our sales efforts, innovative technology and the introduction of new products. We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price. We believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost.

Beginning in early 2004, we began to receive shipment of product from Double Dove which enabled us to sell product at lower costs.  Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials and

16

inventory and the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships could result in the need to manufacture all (as opposed to 26.9%) of the products in the U.S.  This could temporarily increase unit costs as we ramp up domestic production.

We have a Licensing Agreement with BTMD which expires on May 13, 2008. Royalties that were expected in 2007 were not received due to the time needed to build the factory, assembly equipment, and the related infrastructure as well as the need of BTMD to meet the requisite Chinese government requirements. The facility has been completed and BTMD is in the process of meeting Chinese government requirements. Although successful renegotiation and/or extension of this agreement cannot be assured, we still continue to expect royalty payments although we are unable to predict the date we will begin to receive such royalties. Royalties should begin once Chinese government requirements are met and BTMD is able to produce and sell products.  We anticipate that receipt of such royalties would have a positive effect on our liquidity.

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

Due to increased volumes, our manufacturing unit costs have tended to decline. However, increasing oil and transportation costs could mitigate this trend.

As our products are made from petroleum products, the increasing costs of oil and transportation may have a negative impact on our costs to the extent they may not be recoverable through price increases of our products.

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

External Sources of Liquidity

We have obtained several loans over the past seven years (see Historical Sources of Liquidity), which have, together with proceeds from the sales of equities and litigation settlements, enabled us to pursue development and production of our products. Currently we believe we could obtain additional funds through loans if needed. Furthermore, the shareholders have previously authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares of a Class C stock that could, if necessary, be authorized and used to raise funds through the sale of equity.  We are in the process of finalizing a loan for approximately $4.2 million to fund the expansion of the warehouse (which will include additional warehouse space, additional office space, and a new Clean Room).

CAPITAL RESOURCES

In 2006, we invested $500,000 in a limited liability company (“LLC”).  We are in the process of exercising our option to have that investment returned.

Material Commitments for Expenditures

Capital expenditures in 2008 are dependent upon several factors, including, but not limited to, the success of projects to decrease production costs, the successful introduction of new products, and access to debt financing.

Beginning in 2008, we plan to expand our warehouse (to include additional warehouse space, additional office space, and a new Clean Room).  This expansion will be funded by a loan from Lewisville State Bank, a division of 1st International, for approximately $4.2 million, secured by a 2nd Lien Deed to the land and existing buildings.

Trends in Capital Resources

Interest expense will increase due to the pending loan of approximately $4.2 million, but will be somewhat mitigated by lower borrowing rates if current conditions in the credit markets continue.  Interest income may be negatively

17

affected by lower interest rates and our movement of cash to U.S. Treasury bills and other U.S. government backed securities.  Although we believe that we have granted credit to credit-worthy firms, current economic conditions may affect the timing and/or collectability of some accounts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains trend information and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from our historical results of operations and those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All period references are to our fiscal years ended December 2007, 2006 or 2005. Dollar amounts have been rounded for ease of reading.

Comparison of Year Ended
December 31, 2007, and Year Ended December 31, 2006

Revenues increased due principally to increased sales in the international market.  Domestic sales were 81.6% of revenues with international sales comprising the remainder.  Unit sales of the 1cc syringe increased 7.3% and 5cc unit sales increased 30.6%.  Unit sales of all products increased 7.5%.  The discount reimbursements ended in 2006.  The discount reimbursement program expired after the settlement agreement under which it was established provided for a total of $8.0 million in reimbursements.  We had recognized $8.0 million in cumulative discount reimbursements by the third quarter of 2006.  Sales to three distributors accounted for 36.5% and 31.3% of our revenues in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly due to higher volumes offset by the lower average selling price principally in the international sales.  The increased volume of production resulted in a lower unit cost.  Royalty expenses were flat.

As a result, gross profits increased and gross profit margins increased slightly from 29.8% in 2006 to 30.4% in 2007.

Operating expenses increased from the prior year primarily due to increases in General and administrative costs.

Sales and marketing expenses declined due primarily to decreased marketing and trade show expense.  Increased compensation and consulting costs were mitigated by reductions in stock option expenses and travel and entertainment. 

Research and development costs were somewhat higher. We had increases in engineering costs due principally to validation testing and the development work on the IV safety catheter and higher compensation costs.

General and administrative costs increased due principally to higher legal expenses.  Compensation costs, outside accounting costs, and distribution fees also increased.  Stock option expenses, shareholder expenses, consulting and training decreased.   Legal costs concerning the litigation against BD comprise the largest amount of legal fees and have a significant effect on our expenses. Our lawsuit against BD is currently scheduled for trial in March 2009. After conclusion of the trial, legal expenses are expected to decrease significantly. The legal costs incurred in 2007 with regard to the Abbott litigation are lower than those in 2006.  We expect such costs to continue until the litigation is resolved. We also have higher litigation expenses concerning OMI.  We had decreases in taxes other than income taxes in 2007.  We awarded merit increases to our employees in 2006.  We donated product in an international humanitarian effort in 2006.  There have been no stock options awarded since 2004; therefore, this expense continues to decline as the costs become fully amortized with virtually none recorded in 2007.  We also increased our allowance for bad debt.

18

Preferred Stock dividend requirements declined due to conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  The dividend arrearage at December 31, 2007, on all classes of Preferred Stock was approximately $12,500,000.

Interest income decreased due to lower interest rates and cash balances.  Interest expense decreased due to lower interest rates and debt balances.  We expect interest income to continue to decline because of declining cash balances, the market environment for declining interest rates, and the transfer of our cash to U.S. Treasury bills and other government backed securities.  Interest expense will increase with the addition of a building loan in the approximate amount of $4.2 million which is in the process of being finalized.

Provision for income tax benefits consists primarily of the settlement in our favor of a state tax audit.  We also have a valuation reserve for all deferred taxes, with the exception of deferred taxes on the beneficial conversion feature associated with our note payable to Katie Petroleum.

Cash flow from operations was negative for 2007 due principally to the loss for the year.  The effect of non-cash expenses and the change in working capital were a positive $2.7 million.

Comparison of Year Ended
December 31, 2006, and Year Ended December 31, 2005

Revenues increased 4.5%, due principally to increased sales in the alternate care and international markets.  Domestic sales were 87.8% of revenues with international sales comprising the remainder.  Unit sales of the 1cc syringe increased 39.1% and 3cc unit sales increased 19.7%.  Unit sales of all products increased 32.6%.  The hospital market continues to lag despite very favorable promotional pricing under the discount program.  The increase in discount reimbursements in 2006 is due principally to the reduction of the promotional prices initiated in April 2005, resulting in larger reimbursements, mitigated by the ending of the reimbursement of the discounts in the third quarter of 2006.  The discount reimbursement program expired since the settlement agreement under which it was established provided for a total of $8.0 million in reimbursements.  We had recognized $8.0 million in cumulative discount reimbursements by the third quarter of 2006.  Sales to two distributors accounted for 31.3% and 34.8% of our revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased due to the lower average selling price resulting from the ending of the discount reimbursement program mitigated by higher volumes of product produced and sold.  The increased volume of production resulted in a lower unit cost.  The effect of the reduction in staff in August 2005 also contributed to the lower unit cost in 2006.  Royalty expenses were higher due to an increase in gross revenues.

As a result, gross profits decreased, and gross profit margins declined from 36.3% in 2005 to 29.8% in 2006.

Operating expenses increased from the prior year due to increases in Sales and marketing costs and General and administrative costs.

Sales and marketing expenses increased as we continued to grow our sales force, resulting in higher compensation costs, marketing and promotional costs, and travel and entertainment.  We also had increased consulting expense mitigated by a reduction in stock option expense.

Research and development costs were flat. We had increases in consulting costs and decreases in engineering costs due principally to validation testing and the development work on the IV safety catheter

in 2005.  We began marketing the IV safety catheter in the first quarter of 2006.  We anticipate that until we reach economies of scale in manufacturing this product, we will incur losses on its sale.

General and administrative costs increased due principally to higher legal costs, compensation costs, consulting, and taxes other than income taxes.  Decreases in expenses include stock option expense, shareholder expenses, outside accounting costs, severance pay, and training.   The legal costs incurred in 2006 in regard to the Abbott litigation are higher than those in 2005.  We expect such costs to continue until the litigation is resolved. We also have litigation expenses concerning OMI.  Compensation costs increased as officers and other salaries were brought into a more appropriate range in 2005, the full effect being reflected in 2006.  We also awarded merit increases to our employees in 2006.  Consulting costs increased due to our continuing efforts to penetrate U.S. and international markets.  We had increases in taxes other than income taxes in 2006.  We donated product in an international humanitarian effort in 2006.  There have been no stock options awarded since 2004; therefore, this expense continues to decline as the costs become fully amortized.

Preferred Stock dividend requirements declined due to conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  The dividend arrearage at December 31, 2006, on all classes of Preferred Stock was approximately $12,200,000.

Interest income increased due to higher interest rates.  Interest expense increased due to higher interest rates mitigated by lower debt balances.

Provision for income tax benefits consists primarily of federal tax subject to carry back provisions.  State income taxes are also subject to the various states’ carry back rules.  We also have a valuation reserve for all deferred taxes, with the exception of deferred taxes on the beneficial conversion feature associated with our note payable to Katie Petroleum.

Cash flow from operations was negative for 2006 due principally to the loss for the year.  The effect of non-cash expenses and the change in working capital was a positive $500,000.  Investing activities utilized $2.0 million in cash.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The following chart summarizes our material obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts for long-term debt as of December 31, 2007:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider the following to be our most significant accounting policies. Careful consideration and review is given to these and all accounting policies on a routine basis to ensure that they are accurately and consistently applied.

Accounts Receivable

We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. No product has been consigned to customers.  Our allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables.  Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance.  An additional allowance has been established based on a percentage of receivables outstanding.  These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible.  Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized for sales to distributors when title and risk of ownership passes to the distributor, generally upon shipment. Revenue is recorded on the basis of sales price to distributors, less contractual pricing allowances. Contractual pricing allowances consist of (i) rebates granted to distributors who provide tracking reports which show, among other things, the facility that purchased the products, and (ii) a provision for estimated contractual pricing allowances for products that we have not received tracking reports. Rebates are recorded when issued and are applied against the customer’s receivable balance. The provision for contractual pricing allowances is reviewed at the end of each quarter and adjusted for changes in levels of products for which there is no tracking report. Additionally, if it becomes clear that tracking reports will not be provided by individual distributors, the provision is further adjusted. The estimated contractual allowance is netted against individual distributors’ accounts receivable balances for financial reporting purposes. The resulting net balance is reflected in accounts receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate. The terms and conditions of contractual pricing allowances are governed by contracts between us and our distributors. Revenue for shipments directly to end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership passes from us. Any product shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.

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

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

Our international Distribution Agreements do not provide for any returns.

We record an allowance for estimated returns as a reduction to accounts receivable and gross sales.  Historically, returns have been less than 0.48% of Total sales.

Inventories

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

21

Marketing Fees

Under a sales and marketing agreement with Abbott, we paid marketing fees until we terminated the contract for breach.  The contracted services were to include participation in promotional activities, development of educational and promotional materials, representation at trade shows, clinical demonstrations, inservicing and training, and tracking reports detailing the placement of our products to end-users. Marketing fees were accrued at the time of the sale of product to Abbott. These fees were paid after Abbott provided us a tracking report of product sales to end-users. These costs were included in Sales and marketing expense in the Statements of Operations. No marketing fees have been accrued since October 15, 2003, the date the National Marketing and Distribution Agreement with Abbott was terminated. We filed suit against Abbott in August 2005 for breach of contract.  We do not expect the eventual liability for marketing fees, if any, to exceed the amount accrued.

Reimbursed Discounts

We received reimbursed discounts from one of the settlement agreements reached in our previous federal antitrust lawsuit, Retractable Technologies, Inc. v. BD, et al. Payments under the discount reimbursement program were recognized upon invoicing of amounts due under the agreement, provided collection was reasonably assured.  Such amounts are presented in the Statements of Operations as a separate component of revenues.  All funds available under the discount reimbursement program were recognized by the third quarter of 2006.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About  Market Risk.

We believe that our market risk exposures regarding our cash and cash equivalents are immaterial as we do not have instruments for trading purposes. Additionally, reasonable, possible near-term changes in market rates or prices will not result in material near-term losses in earnings.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Retractable Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Retractable Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Retractable Technologies, Inc., listed in Item 15(a).  These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Retractable Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 included in Item 9A(T) of the Company’s December 31, 2007 Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
