NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)



|1. | BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|-- | -------------------------------------------------

Business of the Company

Retractable Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Texas on May 9,
1994, to design, develop, manufacture and market safety syringes and other safety medical products for the healthcare profession. The Company began to develop its manufacturing operations in 1995. The Companys manufacturing and administrative
facilities are located in Little Elm, Texas. The Companys primary products are the VanishPoint®syringe in the 1cc, 3cc, 5cc and 10cc sizes and blood collection tube holders. The Company includes the 1cc syringe in an allergy tray. The Company introduced the IV safety catheter in the market in the first quarter of 2006. The
Company has conducted preliminary clinical evaluations and worked with national distributors to encourage healthcare facilities to transition from the use of standard syringes to the VanishPoint®syringe.

Basis of
presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the Companys audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2005.



|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash
equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash and investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable

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

Inventories

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

The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS No. 151), in the
first quarter of 2006. Implementation of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations as of and for the period ended March 31, 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Cost includes major
expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity and interest cost associated with significant capital additions. Gains or losses from property disposals are included in income.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:



|                               |  |              
|------------------------------ |  | -------------
|Production equipment           |  | 3 to 13 years
|                               | 
|Office furniture and equipment |  | 3 to 10 years
|                               | 
|Buildings                      |  | 39 years     
|                               | 
|Building improvements          |  | 15 years     
|                               | 
|Automobiles                    |  | 7 years      

Long-lived assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets using an assessment of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to such assets.
In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts which are in excess of estimated gross future cash flows, the assets will be adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying assets.

Reclassifications

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

Intangible
assets

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

Financial instruments

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

Concentrations of credit risk

The Companys financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. Cash balances, some of which exceed the federally insured limits, are maintained in financial institutions; however, management believes the institutions are of high credit quality. The majority of accounts receivable are due from
companies which are well-established entities. As a consequence, management considers any exposure from concentrations of credit risks to be limited.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized for sales to distributors when title and risk of ownership
passes to the distributor, generally upon shipment. Revenue is recorded on the basis of sales price to distributors, less contractual pricing allowances. Contractual pricing allowances consist of (i) rebates granted to distributors who provide
tracking reports which show, among other things, the facility that purchased the products, and (ii) a provision for estimated contractual pricing allowances for products that the Company has not received tracking reports. Rebates are recorded
when issued and are applied against the customers receivable balance. The provision for contractual pricing allowances is reviewed at the end of each quarter and adjusted for changes in levels of products for which there is no tracking report.
Additionally, if it becomes clear that tracking reports will not be provided by individual distributors, the provision is further adjusted. The estimated contractual allowance



7

##### Table of Contents

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 the Company and its distributors. Revenue for
shipments directly to end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership passes from the Company. Any product shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.

Marketing fees

The Company paid
Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (Abbott) marketing fees for services they provided. 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 the Companys 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 the Company a tracking report of product sales to end-users. These costs were included in Sales and Marketing expense in the Condensed 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. On August 15, 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit against Abbott concerning this agreement.

Reimbursed Discounts

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

As part of the litigation settlement agreements reached in the second quarter of 2003, a discount reimbursement program of $8,000,000, which is net of
legal fees, was established whereby the Company is being provided quarterly reimbursements for certain discounts given to participating facilities. The Company offers certain discounts to participating facilities and is being reimbursed for such
discounts. Unit sales to participating facilities comprised 30.8 percent of total domestic unit sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Payments are recognized upon delivery of products provided collection is reasonably assured.Cumulative reimbursements of $5,105,032 were recorded through March 31, 2006.

Management estimates that cumulative reimbursed
discounts will reach $8,000,000 before the end of 2006, however, the Company is currently committed to continue offering such discounts to participating facilities through the end of that year.

Income taxes

The Company provides
for deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes based on the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted rates expected to be in effect when such basis differences reverse in future periods. Deferred tax
assets are periodically reviewed for realizability. The Company has sufficient taxable income from prior carryback years to realize all of its current deductible temporary differences that are reasonably expected to reverse in the upcoming year. The
Company has established a valuation allowance for the remaining net asset as future taxable income cannot be reasonably assured at this time.

The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 05-8, Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature,in the first quarter of 2006. EITF 05-8 concludes that the difference in book basis and tax
basis of a convertible debt instrument is a temporary difference. Furthermore, recognition of deferred tax for a beneficial conversion feature should be recorded as an adjustment (reduction) to additional paid-in capital and an increase to deferred
tax liabilities. As a result of implementing EITF 05-8, additional paid-in capital was reduced by $141,233; the current deferred tax asset was reduced by $38,699; and the long-term deferred tax liability was increased by $102,524.

Earnings per share

The Company has
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings for the period
(adjusted for any cumulative dividends for the period) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Companys potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents consist of options, convertible debt and
convertible Preferred Stock and are all antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Accordingly, basic loss per share is equal to diluted earnings per share.



Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Share-based compensation

The Company has three stock-based director, officer and employee
compensation plans as well as several individual option agreements. Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions (intrinsic value method) of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees,and related Interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,prospectively to all awards granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2001. Awards generally vest over periods up to three years.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123 R), Share-Based Payment,effective January 1, 2006. It did not have a material impact to the
financial statements of the Company. In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 R the Company incurred the following share-based compensation costs:

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, 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 decrease production costs, our ability to continue to finance research and development as well as operations and expansion of production, the recently increased interest of larger market players, specifically Becton Dickinson &
Co. (BD), in providing safety needle devices, and other factors. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

##### Table of Contents

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. Variances have been rounded for ease of reading. All period
references are to the periods ended March 31, 2006 or 2005.

OVERVIEW

We have been manufacturing and marketing our products into the marketplace since 1997. Our products have been and continue to be distributed nationally
through numerous distributors. However, we have been blocked from access to the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD, who dominates the market. We believe that its monopolistic business practices continue despite its paying $100
million to settle a lawsuit with the Company 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 Group Purchasing Organizations (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 and innovative technology.

We are focusing on methods of upgrading our manufacturing capability and efficiency in order to enable us to offer our technology at a reduced price. We
believe our current capitalization provides the resources necessary to implement these changes and greatly improve our manufacturing capacity and efficiency, thereby reducing our unit cost. We are also marketing more product internationally. In 2004
and 2005, we were awarded a federal contract to supply syringes to various African countries. The first award from PATH was for 1,530,000 units. The 2005 award was for 11,700,000 units. Both awards were filled over multiple quarters due principally
to logistical requirements for the orders. We are hopeful that these awards will continue to increase under this program.

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 also have a license agreement with Baiyin Tonsun Medical Device Co.,
Ltd. (BTMD), a Chinese company. We anticipate receiving royalties from the licensing agreement with BTMD before the end of the first contract year ending August 2006. During the first contract year, BTMD is required to sell at least
25,000,000 units which, based on the lowest possible royalty rate, would result in a payment of $625,000.

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

Comparison of Three Months
Ended

March 31, 2006, and March 31, 2005

Domestic sales accounted for 90.6 percent and 86.2 percent of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. International sales accounted for the remaining revenues. Domestic
revenues increased 36.7 percent and international revenues decreased 10.9 percent. Overall, unit sales increased 16.9 percent. Domestic unit sales increased 23.8 percent and international sales decreased 5.7 percent. Domestic unit sales were 81.1
percent of total unit sales.

While international sales decreased due to lower shipments to PATH in the first quarter of 2006 compared to
the same period last year, shipments to other international customers were up significantly due primarily to shipments to two countries which may not be indicative of future orders. The timing of the PATH shipments will vary from quarter to quarter.

Gross profit increased primarily due to higher revenues. Profit margins can fluctuate depending upon, among other things, the cost of
product manufactured and the capitalized cost of product recorded in inventory, as well as product sales mix. The lower unit cost in ending inventory at March 31, 2006, should have a positive effect on product margins for the second quarter.

The Company offers certain discounts to participating facilities and is being reimbursed up to a cumulative amount of $8,000,000 under a
litigation settlement agreement for such discounts. Unit sales to participating facilities comprised 30.8 percent of total domestic unit sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Payments are recognized upon delivery of products provided
collection is reasonably assured. Cumulative reimbursements of $5,105,032 were recorded through March 31, 2006.

Management estimates that
cumulative reimbursed discounts will reach $8,000,000 before the end of 2006, however, the Company is currently committed to continue offering such discounts to participating facilities through the end of that year. Discounts to participating
facilities in excess of the cumulative $8,000,000 discount reimbursement will have a negative impact on gross profit which may begin in the third or fourth quarter of 2006. The discounts end December 31, 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Operating expenses increased 25.3 percent. The increase in expense for Sales and Marketing was
attributable primarily to hiring additional personnel. The increase in Research and Development costs was due principally to the development of the catheter and consulting costs. General and administrative costs increased due to higher compensation,
travel, and legal expenses.

Loss from operations increased due principally to higher operating expenses mitigated by higher gross profit.

Interest income and expense increased due to higher rates.

The Companys balance sheet remains strong with cash making up 70.6 percent of total assets. Working capital was $55.2 million at March 31, 2006, a decrease of $1.0 million from December 31, 2005.
The current ratio declined from 11.3 at December 31, 2005, to 10.9 at March 31, 2006. The quick ratio declined from 10.7 at December 31, 2005 to 10.3 at March 31, 2006. These financial indicators continue to indicate a strong
financial position.

Approximately $250,000 in cash flow was used by operating activities. The remaining uses of cash were for capital
costs incurred for equipment for the manufacture of the catheter and repayment of long-term debt.

LIQUIDITY AND FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Historical Sources of Liquidity

We have historically funded operations primarily from proceeds from private placements, loans, and litigation efforts. We were capitalized with approximately $52,600,000 raised from six separate private placement
offerings. We also funded operations through loans aggregating over $15,000,000. We received cash payments of $88,514,873 from litigation settlements through September 30, 2005. Cumulative discount reimbursements of $5,105,032 were recorded
through March 31, 2006. Discount reimbursements will end after we receive an aggregate of $8,000,000 under the settlement.

Internal Sources of Liquidity

Margins and Market Access

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

The mix of domestic and international sales affects the average sales price of
our products. The higher the ratio of domestic sales to international sales, the higher the average sales price will be. Typically international sales are shipped directly from China. Purchases of product manufactured in China will usually decrease
the average cost of manufacture for all units as domestic costs, such as indirect labor and overhead, remain relatively constant. The number of units produced by the Company and manufactured in China can have a significant effect on the carrying
costs of inventory as well as cost of sales. The average unit cost in the first quarter of 2006 is less than the average unit cost in inventory at December 31, 2005. This is due to more units, in the aggregate, purchased and produced in the
first quarter of 2006. Inventory was 4.7 percent higher at March 31, 2006, compared to December 31, 2005, primarily due to higher levels of raw materials. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriate mix of products manufactured
domestically and those manufactured in China to achieve economic benefits as well as to maintain our domestic manufacturing capability. Currently, approximately one-half of our syringes are produced domestically.

Seasonality

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

Licensing Agreement

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

Cash Requirements

Due to prior litigation settlements, we have sufficient cash reserves and intend to rely on operations, cash reserves, and debt financing as the primary
ongoing sources of cash. In the event we continue to have only limited market access and cash generated from operations becomes insufficient to support operations, we would take cost cutting measures to reduce cash requirements. Such measures could
result in reduction of units being produced, reduction of workforce, reduction of salaries of officers and other nonhourly employees, and deferral of royalty payments to Thomas Shaw.

External Sources of Liquidity

We have obtained several loans from the inception of the Company, which have, together with the proceeds from sales of equities, enabled us to pursue development and production of our products. Currently we believe we
could obtain additional funds through loans if needed. Furthermore, the shareholders previously authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares of a Class C Preferred Stock that could, if necessary, be designated and used to raise funds through the sale
of equity.

China. As of March 31, 2006, we had no funds held as restricted cash for such purposes. The Board of Directors has authorized management to borrow and incur indebtedness in the form of letters of credit in an aggregate amount, at any one time,
of $3,000,000.
