NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Medical Action Industries Inc. (Medical Action or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Companys 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful
accounts, inventory valuation, fair value of stock-based compensation, income taxes, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives and rebate reserves. A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies is identified in Note
1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Companys 2010 annual report on Form 10-K. Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes contained in the 2010
annual report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results. Since March 31, 2010 there have been no changes to the Companys significant accounting policies or to the assumptions and estimates involved in applying these policies.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts presented in our notes to
condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands, except per share data.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more
significant estimates include allowances for trade rebates and doubtful accounts, realizability of inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability, pensions and other
postretirement benefits and environmental and litigation matters.

(Unaudited)



There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from the
information provided in Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

Effective March 31, 2010, we adopted Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements that requires companies to enhance the usefulness of fair value measurements by requiring both the disaggregation of information in certain
existing disclosures, as well as the inclusion of more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The adoption of this standard will impact how we disclose in the future any
material transfers into and out of Level 1 (measurements based on quoted process in active markets) and Level 2 (measurements based on other observable inputs) inputs of the fair value hierarchy. There were no such transfers during the nine months
ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-13, which will update Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 605,
Revenue Recognition, and changes the accounting for certain revenue arrangements. The new standard sets forth requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a
multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable to be based on the relative selling price. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which for us is April 1, 2011. The adoption of this new accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost (determined by means of the first in, first out method) or market, consist of the following:



|                       |  |                  |        |  |               |   |        |

|                       |  |                  |        |  |               |   |        | 
|Total Inventories, net |  | $                | 59,259 |  |               | $ | 34,860 | 
|                       |  |                  |        |  |               |   |        | 

On a continuing basis, inventory quantities on hand are reviewed and an analysis of the provision for excess and obsolete
inventory is performed based primarily on the Companys sales history and anticipated future demand. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory amounted to approximately $1,626 at December 31, 2010 and $1,540 at March 31, 2010.

Note 5. Business Acquisition

On August 27, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of AVID Medical Inc. (AVID), a provider of custom procedure trays to the healthcare industry, in which the Company acquired the
outstanding shares of common stock of AVID for $62,550. One-time acquisition costs of approximately $1,335 have been expensed in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations and are included in selling, general and administrative costs for the
nine months ended December 31, 2010. AVIDs results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition is to expand our product line offering into
custom procedure trays to augment our existing product classes and expand our market presence in clinical care areas of acute care facilities and surgery centers throughout the country.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to AVIDs net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of August 27, 2010. The
Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price shown in the table below was based upon managements preliminary valuation, which is
based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate primarily to property and equipment and income taxes. The preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated
as follows:

|                                        |  |   |        | 
|                                        |  |   | 68,698 | 
|Less :                                  |  |   |        | 
|Accounts payable and accrued expenses   |  |   | 10,624 | 
|Deferred tax liabilities                |  |   | 11,692 | 
|Debt, short and long term               |  |   | 13,916 | 
|                                        |  |   |        | 
|Total fair value of net assets acquired |  |   | 32,466 | 
|Goodwill                                |  |   | 30,084 | 
|                                        |  |   |        | 
|Total purchase price                    |  | $ | 62,550 | 
|                                        |  |   |        | 

The preliminary valuation of accounts receivable includes $10,605 of gross contractual accounts receivable, of which $133 is
not expected to be collected. The fair value of accounts receivable approximated the book value acquired.

The preliminary valuation of
goodwill is $30,084 which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but
instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if indicators of impairment arise). In the event that management determines that the goodwill has become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of
the impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 represent the combined results of the Companys operations as if the

|(a) | On October 17, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders and a bank acting as administration agent for the lenders (the Prior
Credit Agreement) which is more fully described in Note 7 Long-Term Debt of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. On August 27,
2010, the Company agreed to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety and entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) that provides for total borrowings of up to $110,000, consisting of
(i) a secured Term Loan with a principal amount of $80,000 and (ii) a Revolving Credit Facility, which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up to $30,000.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Term Loan was used by the Company to repay an existing term loan provided for in the Prior Credit Agreement and to fund the
acquisition of AVID. The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires August 27, 2014, shall be used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and for permitted acquisitions. Principal
payments are due and payable in 19 consecutive quarterly installments of $4,000 commencing December 31, 2010 and on the last day of each March, June, September and December thereafter, with the final payment due on August 27, 2015. Both
the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest as established by the Credit Agreement. The average interest rate on the Term Loan approximated 2.98% and 1.83%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
and the average interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility approximated 4.43% and 2.24%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Companys availability under the Revolving Credit Facility amounts to
$23,903 as of December 31, 2010.

Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of
the Company, and the agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other matters, impose limitations with respect to the incurrence of liens, guarantees, mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures, specified sales of assets and
prohibits the payment of dividends. The Company is also required to maintain various financial ratios which are measured quarterly. As of December 31, 2010, the Company is in compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios.



|(b) | Amounts payable represent principal payments due in connection with the issuance and sale by The Buncombe County Industrial Facilities and Pollution
Control Financing Authority of its $5,500 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Medical Action Industries Inc. Project), Series 1997 (the Bonds). Principal payments are due and payable in 60 consecutive quarterly installments of $90
commencing October 1, 1998 and ending July 1, 2013 with a final maturity payment of $190. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, determined weekly. The average interest rate on the Bonds

Grants of restricted stock are made
from our 1994 Stock Incentive Plan and are common stock awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions. The restricted stock issued vests based upon the recipients continued service over time (five-year vesting period). The Company
estimates the fair value of restricted stock based on the Companys closing stock price on the date of grant.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Companys provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax earnings from continuing operations (effective tax rate) was 38.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as
compared to 39.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in state taxes and lower federal tax rates due to the decline in profitability.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we recognize in our financial statements only those tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not-recognition threshold. We establish tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in our
consolidated statements of operations. Our accrual for interest and penalties was $21 upon adoption of ASC 740 and at December 31, 2010.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted
average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the
exercise, based on the average prices during the periods. Excluded from the calculation of earnings per share are options to purchase 1,203,089 and 1,091,093 shares for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively and 445,000
and 530,500 shares for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as their inclusion would not have been dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Accounts Receivable

The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

Accounts Payable

The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

Current Portion of Long-Term Debt

The carrying value of our current portion of long-term debt equals fair market value because the interest rate reflects current market rates.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:



|                                  |  |                |        |  |           |   |        |

Note 13. Extraordinary Loss

During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred an extraordinary pre-tax loss of $1,455 relating to inventories
damaged as a result of water damage caused by heavy rain. The inventories damaged were predominantly patient bedside utensils and did not negatively impact the Companys service levels with respect to this product class. The Companys
insurance carrier has denied our claim for reimbursement of damages based on the position that the loss was caused by flooding which is not a covered peril. We are currently appealing this decision and our insurance broker has asserted a claim under
its errors and omissions policies to provide reimbursement for our loss in the event that our appeal is denied. However, we cannot provide any assurances that any portion of the loss will be covered under our insurance policies or our insurance
brokers. Furthermore, any reimbursement of loss associated with the claims submitted under these insurance policies is subject to a deductable of $500.

Note 14. Other Matters

The Company is involved in multiple product liability cases, which are covered by insurance. While the results of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that the
ultimate liabilities, if any, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.



|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Three Months ended December 31, 2010 compared to Three Months ended
December 31, 2009

Overview

Patient utilization within acute care facilities has been negatively impacted since 2008 by the ongoing global economic downturn. However, the market for the Companys products has recently
stabilized. In an effort to control costs, acute care facilities are placing greater focus on lowering vendor costs through their Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) and Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) affiliations. The
Company also experiences strong competition from other vendors within each of our product lines. These market conditions have exerted downward pressure on both unit sales and average selling prices across many of our product lines.

Management believes that the broad based market declines in unit sales and average selling prices experienced over the past several years have leveled
off. While our customers will remain focused on reducing product costs, we anticipate that there will be a modest increase in unit demand in the near future.

Our integration of AVID Medical, Inc. includes a realignment of the combined sales and marketing teams of the Company. We have organized our sales force into two principal teams, dedicated to i) patient
care products, (principally patient bedside disposables, containment systems, protective apparel and sterilization products) and ii) clinical care products (primarily comprised of custom procedure trays, minor procedure kits and trays, dressings and
surgical sponges, and operating room disposables). This alignment will enable sales representatives to allocate on specific call points, develop stronger customer relationships and allocate resources to their respective product lines.

The sales teams will be further supported by our ongoing investment in our Executive Healthcare Services (EHS) organization. This group of
experienced market leaders manage the Companys relationships with GPOs, IDNs and executives in the corporate offices of hospitals and healthcare systems.

The linkage of our EHS and marketing teams, as well as our regional directors and sales representatives will provide the Company with a presence at each significant decision making point throughout our
product supply channels. Management believes that this structure will have a significant impact on growing our market position as general economic conditions improve and growth in patient utilization begins to develop within the market.

The Company produces finished goods in our production facilities located in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The Company also
utilizes sub contractors located near our production facilities to manufacture or assemble components or finished goods. In addition to domestically sourced and produced finished goods, the Company sources products from overseas vendors, principally
located in China.

Raw material components used in the Companys supply chain include i) resin, which is used in the production of our
patient bedside disposables and containment systems product lines, ii) petroleum based products, such as drapes and gowns and packaging material used in the assembly of custom procedure trays and minor procedure kits and trays and iii) cotton, which
is used in the production of dressings and surgical sponges, operating room disposables and sterilization products.

##### Table of Contents

The ongoing, broad based market rally in commodities has increased the cost of many of the materials used in
the manufacture of the Companys products. These cost increases have had an adverse effect on gross margins. Group Purchasing Organizations and acute care facilities have been generally unwilling to accept price increases resulting from rising
commodity costs. Several of the Companys GPO contracts have provisions to allow for increases in selling prices due to rising resin costs, however, the Company does not have such provisions for cotton-based products in our GPO agreements. In
the near term the Company expects to increase selling prices where market conditions permit while maintaining our current market share. In the absence of a general decline in resin and cotton costs over the next several months, we anticipate that
increases in selling prices will be implemented by vendors within our markets to improve margins from current levels.

However, current market
conditions have made it difficult for us and many of our competitors to increase selling prices for certain products subject to such cost volatility as a means to recover a portion of the cost increases. Additionally, we are unable to give any
assurance that we will be successful in passing along future costs increases to our customers, if deemed necessary.

The Companys revenues increased by
$31,301 or 43% to $104,477 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in revenue is comprised of $33,104 in sales of custom procedure trays added as a result of the
Companys acquisition of AVID Medical, Inc. (AVID) on August 27, 2010. This increase was partially offset by price/sales mix declines of $1,300 and net unit volume declines of $503 in all of our other product classes.

Gross profit increases in dollars were the result of gross profits attributable to the sales of custom procedure trays acquired as a result
of the purchase of AVID. This increase in gross profit was partially offset by increases in resin prices as well as increases in the cost of products sourced from foreign suppliers. The increases in resin and products sourced from foreign suppliers
resulted in a lower gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009.

The net sales decrease in the patient bedside utensils product class is predominantly attributable to declines in
the following categories; bedpans, pitchers and carafes and tumblers, which were partially offset by increases in emesis basins and urinals. Management believes that the declines are attributable to an increase in competitive pressures and the
modification of a major group purchasing organizations supply contract to a dual-source from a sole-source agreement. This modification resulted in a loss of market share and a reduction in average selling prices.

The net sales decrease in the minor procedure kits and trays product class is predominantly attributable to declines in the following categories;
intravenous start kits and peripherally inserted central catheter/ventricular assist device access kits which were partially offset by increases in central line dressing change kits, laceration kits and other kits and trays. Management believes that
the declines are due to an increase in competitive pressures.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the containment systems
for medical waste, patient bedside utensils and laboratory products product categories represented approximately 34% of the Companys revenue. The primary raw material utilized in the manufacture of these categories is plastic resin. In recent
years, world events have caused the cost of plastic resin to increase and be extremely volatile. While the cost of plastic resin has declined from its peak levels reached during the month of



22

##### Table of Contents

July 2008, the volatility associated with resin costs and product acquisition costs from foreign suppliers may continue for the foreseeable future. In the past, the Company has been able, from
time to time, to increase selling prices for certain of the products within these categories to recover a portion of the increased cost. However, the Company is unable to give any assurance that it will be able to pass along future cost increases to
its customers, if necessary. It is anticipated that the Company will purchase approximately 50 million pounds of resin during fiscal 2011. Each $.01 fluctuation in the cost of plastic resin could impact cost of goods sold by $500 on an
annualized basis.

The Company has entered into agreements with substantially all major group purchasing organizations. We are the sole-source
vendor for several of these agreements. These agreements, which expire at various times over the next several years, can be terminated typically on ninety (90) days advance notice and do not contain minimum purchase requirements. The Company,
to date, has been able to achieve compliance to their respective member hospitals. The termination, non-renewal or modification of exclusivity terms of any of these agreements may result in the significant loss of business or lower average selling
prices. In some cases, as these agreements are renewed, the average selling prices could be materially lower.

Historically, the Company has
participated in several reverse auctions and bid processes in order to achieve renewal of certain major group purchasing agreements. The Company anticipates participating in reverse auctions or similar bid processes as deemed necessary during the
remainder of fiscal 2011.

The following table sets forth sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense data for the
periods indicated:

Gross profit for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 increased $1,207 or 7.0% to $18,422 from $17,215 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased to 17.6% from 23.5% for
the three months ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit increased as a result of $5,735 in gross profit attributable to sales of custom procedure trays acquired in the purchase of AVID as well as decreases of $517 in inventory obsolescence and
other cost of sales and a net decrease in inefficiencies in our manufacturing facilities of $121. These factors were partially offset by increased costs of products sourced from foreign suppliers, principally from China, of $1,840, increased resin
costs of $1,520, decreased net sales in non-custom procedure tray product classes of $1,438 and an increase of $368 in outbound freight costs.

Many of the Companys products are produced from petroleum derived raw materials such as plastic resin. The Company also bears the cost of both
inbound and outbound freight shipments of raw materials and finished products, which are significantly impacted by the cost of oil. The price of resin remains volatile and has increased during the three months ended December 31, 2010 when
compared to the previous year. Consequently, the Company has experienced gross margin declines resulting from higher plastic resin costs during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as much of the resin that

was used in production during this period was purchased at a higher average cost than resin used during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

During fiscal 2010, the Company was able to avoid the financial impact of some of the increase in resin costs through managing raw material levels and
through the benefit of supply agreements entered into during March 2009, which expired in March 2010. The expiration of the resin supply agreements, coupled with a trend of increasing resin prices and increases in cotton-based product costs,
resulting from weak crop yields caused by inclement weather conditions, restrictions on exports in certain countries and a surge in demand from China-based manufacturers, have placed pressures on the Companys gross profit for the three months
ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. It is likely that these factors will continue to negatively impact gross profits through the balance of fiscal 2011.

The volatility associated with resin costs and cotton-based products may continue for the foreseeable future. However, current market conditions have
made it difficult for the Company and many competitors to increase selling prices for certain products subject to such cost volatility as a means to recover a portion of the cost increases. Additionally, we are unable to give any assurance that the
Company will be successful in passing along future cost increases to our customers, if deemed necessary.

Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased to $13,549 from $10,270 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase resulted primarily from the expenses added as a result of the AVID acquisition. This
increase was partially offset by a reduction in the Companys bonus accrual which was precipitated by the failure to meet certain operational performance objectives.

Distribution expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased $123 to $1,777 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $1,900 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in distribution expenses was primarily due to decreased labor costs, primarily overtime expenses resulting from a decline in the sales volume of certain product classes. The Company does not classify
any expenses as distribution-related in the Toano, VA facility added in the AVID acquisition as they utilize a third-party logistics provider for their supply chain management functions. Such expenses are deemed to be freight-out and are included in
cost of sales.

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased to $1,116 from $290 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a net increase in the average principal loan balances outstanding and an increase in interest rates during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the
three months ended December 31, 2009.

Income tax expense amounted to $1,451 and $2,654 for the three months ended December 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Income tax expense as a percent of income before income taxes was 38.5% and 39.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily the result of a change in
state taxes and lower federal tax rates due to the decline in profitability.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010
decreased to $2,304 from $4,010 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net income is attributable to the aforementioned increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

The
Companys revenues increased by $38,298 or 17% to $257,221 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in revenue is comprised of $47,241 in sales of custom
procedure trays added as a result of the Companys acquisition of AVID on August 27, 2010. The increase was partially offset by price/sales mix declines of $6,750 and net unit volume declines of $2,193.

The price/sales mix declines were primarily in patient bedside utensils, minor procedure kits and trays, containment systems for medical waste, and
laboratory products product classes. The net unit volume declines were primarily in our patient bedside utensils, containment systems for medical waste and laboratory products product classes. The net unit volume declines were partially offset by an
increase in the operating room disposables and sterilization products and minor procedure kits and trays product classes.

Gross profit
declines in dollars were the result of increases in resin prices, decreases in net sales of non-custom procedure tray product classes and increases in the cost of products sourced from foreign suppliers. This decline was partially offset by gross
profit attributable to sales of custom procedure trays acquired in the purchase of AVID. The aforementioned factors resulted in a lower gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the
nine months ended December 31, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily from the expenses added as a
result of the AVID acquisition and one-time fees and expenses associated with the acquisition of AVID.

The net sales increases in the operating room disposables and sterilization products product class is
predominantly attributable to increases in the following categories; crutches, magnetic needle counters, sterile and non-sterile operating room towels and slippers which were partially offset by declines in protective apparel and operating room
basins. The increases in the aforementioned categories are the result of increased OEM and domestic market penetration. The protective apparel category which includes disposable isolation gowns used in the prevention of virus proliferation decreased
due to the reduction in H1N1 influenza activity when compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

The net sales decrease in the
laboratory products product class is predominantly attributable to declines in petri dishes and triangular graduates which were partially offset by an increase in specimen containers. Management believes that the declines are attributable to the
loss of a supply contract and an increase in competitive pressures.

The net sales decrease in the containment systems for medical waste
product class is predominantly attributable to declines in the following categories; low density can liners, biohazard waste bags, laundry and linen containment bags, lab specimen transport bags and high density can liners. Management believes that
these declines are due to an increase in competitive pressures.

The net sales decrease in the patient bedside utensils product class is predominantly attributable to
declines in the following categories; bedpans, wash basins, pitchers and carafes, urinals, tumblers and medicine cups which were partially offset by an increase in emesis basins. Management believes that the declines are attributable to an increase
in competitive pressures and the modification of a major group purchasing organizations supply contract to a dual-source from a sole-source agreement. This modification resulted in a loss of market share and reduction in average selling
prices.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the containment systems for medical waste, patient bedside utensils and
laboratory products product categories represented approximately 41% of the Companys revenue. The primary raw material utilized in the manufacture of these categories is plastic resin. In recent years, world events have caused the cost of
plastic resin to increase and be extremely volatile. While the cost of plastic resin has declined from its peak levels reached during the month of July 2008, the volatility associated with resin costs and product acquisition costs from foreign
suppliers may continue for the foreseeable future. In the past, the Company has been able, from time to time, to increase selling prices for certain of the products within these categories to recover a portion of the increased cost. However, the
Company is unable to give any assurance that it will be able to pass along future cost increases to its customers, if necessary. It is anticipated that the Company will purchase approximately 50 million pounds of resin during fiscal 2011. Each
$.01 fluctuation in the cost of plastic resin could impact cost of goods sold by $500 on an annualized basis.

The Company has entered into
agreements with substantially all major group purchasing organizations. We are the sole-source vendor for several of these agreements. These agreements, which expire at various times over the next several years, can be terminated typically on ninety
(90) days advance notice and do not contain minimum purchase requirements. The Company, to date, has been able to achieve compliance to their respective member hospitals. The termination, non-renewal or modification of exclusivity terms of any
of these agreements may result in the significant loss of business or lower average selling prices. In some cases, as these agreements are renewed, the average selling prices could be materially lower.

Historically, the Company has participated in several reverse auctions and bid processes in order to achieve renewal of certain major group purchasing
agreements. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company extended certain major group purchasing agreements. The Company anticipates participating in reverse auctions or similar bid processes as deemed necessary during the
remainder of fiscal 2011.

The following table sets forth sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense data for the
periods indicated:

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 decreased $5,560 or 10.8% to $45,806 from
$51,366 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 decreased to 17.8% from 23.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit
decreased as a result of increased resin costs of $6,654, decreased net sales in non-custom procedure trays product classes of $4,656, increased costs of products sourced from foreign suppliers, principally from China, of $3,188, net increases in
inefficiencies in our manufacturing facilities of $501 and an increase of $105 in outbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by the $8,428 of gross profit attributable to sales of custom procedure trays acquired in the purchase of
AVID and a decrease of $1,116 in inventory obsolescence and other cost of sales.

Many of the Companys products are produced from
petroleum derived raw materials such as plastic resin. The Company also bears the cost of both inbound and outbound freight shipments of raw materials and finished products, which are significantly impacted by the cost of oil. The price of resin
remains volatile and has increased during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the previous year. Consequently, the Company has experienced gross margin declines resulting from higher plastic resin costs during the nine
months ended December 31, 2010 as much of the resin that was used in production during this period was purchased at a higher average cost than resin used during the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

During fiscal 2010, the Company was able to avoid the financial impact of some of the increase in resin costs through managing raw material levels and
through the benefit of supply agreements entered into during March 2009, which expired in March 2010. The expiration of the resin supply agreements, coupled with the trend of increasing resin prices and increases in cotton-based product costs
resulting from weak crop yields caused by inclement weather conditions, restrictions on exports in certain countries and a surge in demand from China-based manufacturers have placed significant pressures on the Companys gross profit for the
nine months ended December 30, 2010 when compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009. It is likely that these factors will continue to negatively impact gross profits through the balance of fiscal 2011.

The volatility associated with resin costs and cotton-based products may continue for the foreseeable future. However, current market conditions have
made it difficult for the Company and many competitors to increase selling prices for certain products subject to such cost volatility as a means to recover a portion of the cost increases. Additionally, we are unable to give any assurance that the
Company will be successful in passing along future costs increases to our customers, if deemed necessary.

Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 increased to $37,299 from $30,894 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase resulted from one-time fees and expenses of $1,335 associated with the acquisition of AVID and
the expenses added as a result of the AVID acquisition. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the Companys bonus accrual which was precipitated by the failure to meet certain operational performance objectives.

Distribution expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased $315 to $5,326 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2010 as compared to $5,641 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in distribution expenses was primarily due to decreased labor costs, primarily overtime expenses resulting from a decline in the sales volume
of certain product classes. The Company does not classify any expenses as distribution-related in the Toano, VA facility added in the AVID acquisition as they utilize a third-party logistics provider for their supply chain management functions. Such
expenses are deemed to be freight-out and are included in cost of sales.

Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 increased to $1,743 from $1,124 for the
nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a net increase in the average principal loan balances outstanding and an increase in interest rates during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as
compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred an
extraordinary pre-tax loss of $1,455 relating to inventories damaged as a result of water damage caused by heavy rain. The inventories damaged were predominantly patient bedside utensils and did not negatively impact the Companys service
levels with respect to this product class. The Companys insurance carrier has denied our claim for reimbursement of damages based on the position that the loss was caused by flooding which is not a covered peril. We are currently appealing
this decision and our insurance broker has asserted a claim under its errors and omissions policies to provide reimbursement for our loss in the event that our appeal is denied. However, we cannot provide any assurances that any portion of the loss
will be covered under our insurance policies or our insurance brokers. Furthermore, any reimbursement of loss associated with the claims submitted under these insurance policies is subject to a deductable of $500.

Income tax expense amounted to $2,041 (inclusive of the tax benefit resulting from the extraordinary loss) and $7,703 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income tax expense as a percent of income before income taxes was 38.4% and 39.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily the
result of a change in state taxes and lower federal taxes due to the decline in profitability.

Net income for the nine months ended
December 31, 2010 decreased to $3,269 from $11,647 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net income is attributable to the aforementioned decline in gross profit, the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses and the extraordinary loss associated with the inventories damaged as a result of flooding.

Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 is primarily comprised of increases in
(i) inventories of $14,917 (inclusive of the $1,455 extraordinary loss relating to inventories damaged as a result of flooding) and (ii) other assets of $1,933. These increases were partially offset by income from operations of $3,269,
depreciation of $3,960, amortization of $2,321 and an increase in accrued expenses of $4,955.

Cash used in investing activities during the
nine months ended December 31, 2010 consisted of our $62,525 acquisition of AVID and capital expenditures of $2,914. The Company utilized monies available under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) in
order to fund the acquisition of AVID. The majority of the capital expenditures related to machinery and equipment for our injection molding facility located in Gallaway, Tennessee. The Companys Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and
restrictions, which include limitations on capital expenditures. During the year ending March 31, 2011, the Company is permitted under the terms of its Credit Agreement, to spend up to $10,000 on capital expenditures. Management expects to
spend a significant portion of monies permissible for capital expenditures on machinery and equipment to improve efficiencies at the Companys manufacturing facilities.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of $64,952 in net borrowings under our Credit Agreement. These borrowings were utilized to
satisfy the purchase price of the AVID acquisition, as well as to fund the Companys operating

The Company is committed to
maintaining a strong financial position through maintaining sufficient levels of available liquidity, managing working capital and generating cash flows necessary to meet operating requirements. Total borrowings outstanding were $97,083 with a debt
to equity ratio of 0.66 to 1.0 at December 31, 2010 as compared to $18,235 with a debt to equity ratio of 0.13 to 1.0 at March 31, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 were $4,914 and the Company had $23,903 available
for borrowing under its revolving credit facility.

Working capital at December 31, 2010 was $43,513 compared to $24,040 at
March 31, 2010 and the current ratio at December 31, 2010 was 1.8 to 1.0 compared to 1.6 to 1.0 at March 31, 2010. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the net assets acquired in the purchase of AVID as well as an
increase in inventories.

The increase in inventories is the result of the acquisition of AVID, as well as an increase in raw materials,
primarily resin and purchases of China-sourced products, primarily operating room towels, in advance of annual production slow downs due to Chinese New Year.

Borrowing Arrangements

On October 17, 2006, Medical Action entered into a
Credit Agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement), among Medical Action, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the Prior Lenders) pursuant to which the Prior Lenders agreed
to make certain extensions of credit to Medical Action. On August 27, 2010, Medical Action agreed to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety and entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit
Agreement), among Medical Action, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as administrative agent,

##### Table of Contents

Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Sovereign Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as co-documentation agents and the other lenders party thereto (the Lenders).

The Credit Agreement provides for an $80,000 secured Term Loan and a $30,000 secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan was used to
repay existing term loans provided for in the Prior Credit Agreement and to fund the acquisition of AVID. The Revolving Credit Facility is used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of Medical Action and its
subsidiaries and for permitted acquisitions.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the
Company, and the agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other matters, impose limitations with respect to the incurrence of liens, guarantees, mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures, specified sales of assets and
prohibits the payment of dividends. The Company is also required to maintain various financial ratios which are measured quarterly. As of December 31, 2010, the Company is in compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At December 31, 2010, such
obligations and commitments are as follows:

The Company believes that the anticipated future cash flow from operations, coupled with its cash on hand and available
funds under its Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements. Although we have borrowing capacity on our revolving credit loan, cash on hand and anticipate future cash flows from operations, we may be limited in
our ability to allocate funds for purposes such as potential acquisitions, capital expenditures, marketing, development and other general corporate purposes. In addition, we may be limited in our flexibility in planning for, or responding to,
changing conditions in our business and our industry, making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet
arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Related Party Transactions

As part of the assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the AVID acquisition, the Company acquired a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility
located in Toano, VA. The facility, which includes a 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by Micpar Realty, LLC (Micpar). AVIDs founder and former CEO, is a part
owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID, was elected to the Companys board of directors and entered into an employment agreement with the Company on August 27, 2010.

The gross and net book value of the capital lease is as follows:



|                               |  |                  |        |   |               |   |   |

|Capital lease, gross           |  | $                | 11,409 |   |               | $ |  | 
|Less: Accumulated amortization |  |                  | (205   | ) |               |   |  | 
|                               |  |                  |        |   |               |   |   | 
|Capital lease, net             |  | $                | 11,204 |   |               | $ |  | 
|                               |  |                  |        |   |               |   |   | 

The amortization expense associated with the capital lease is included in our selling, general and administrative expenses
and amounted to $154 and $205 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010.

The capital lease, requires monthly payments of
$119 with increases of 2% per annum. The lease contains provisions for an option to buy after three and five years and expires in March 2029. The effective rate on the capital lease obligation is 9.9%. Total lease payments required under the
capital lease for the five-year period ending December 31, 2015 is $7,557.

Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to its credit facility
with a financial institution which is priced based on the alternate base rate of interest plus a spread of up to 2%, or at LIBOR rate plus a spread of up to 3%. The spread over the alternate base rate and LIBOR rates is determined based upon the
Companys performance with regard to agreed-upon financial ratios. The Company decides at its sole discretion as to whether borrowings will be at the alternate base rate or LIBOR. At December 31, 2010, $82,097 was outstanding under the
credit facility. Changes in the alternate base rates or LIBOR rates during fiscal 2011 will have a positive or negative effect on the Companys interest expense. Each 1% fluctuation in the interest rate will increase or decrease interest
expense for the Company by approximately $821 on an annualized basis.

In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk
with respect to the proceeds received from the issuance and sale by the Buncombe County Industrial and Pollution Control Financing Authority Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (the Bonds). At December 31, 2010, $1,090 was
outstanding for these Bonds. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the average interest rate on the Bonds approximated .49%. Each 1% fluctuation in interest rates will
increase or decrease the interest expense on the Bonds by approximately $11 on an annualized basis.

A significant portion of the Companys raw materials are purchased from China. All such purchases are
transacted in U.S. dollars. The Companys financial results, therefore, could be impacted by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign countries in the procurement of such raw materials.
To date, sales of the Companys products outside the United States have not been significant.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered
by this Report. Based upon our evaluation, the Companys management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

December 31, 2010, we have not made any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.

We continue to review, document and test our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes
aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. These efforts may lead to changes in our internal control over financial reporting.

Additional Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2010, other than the following:

Covenants in our credit facilities may restrict our financial and operating flexibility.

We currently have two credit facilities:



| |  |  | A four year $30,000 revolving credit facility expiring on August 27, 2014, of which we had $6,097 and $11,424 outstanding as of December 31,
2010 and February 2, 2011; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A five year $80,000 term loan payable in quarterly installments and expiring on August 27, 2015. As of December 31, 2010 and February 2,
2011, $76,000 was outstanding on the term loan.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our current credit facilities require, and any future credit facilities may
also require, that we comply with specified financial covenants relating to interest coverage, debt coverage, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our ability to satisfy these financial covenants can be affected by
events beyond our control, and we cannot give assurance that we will meet the requirements of these covenants. These restrictive covenants could affect our financial and operational flexibility, including the following:



| |  |  | limiting our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, which will reduce the
funds available to us for purposes such as potential acquisitions, capital expenditures, marketing, development and other general corporate purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | vulnerability to fluctuations in interest rates, as a substantial portion of our indebtedness bears variable rates of interest;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reducing our flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in our business and our industry;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.
