SHPI News Specialized Health Products Reports Record Revenues and is Profitable for the Second Quarter

BOUNTIFUL, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2006--Specialized Health Products International, Inc. ("SHPI") (OTCBB: SHPI), a manufacturer and marketer of proprietary safety medical devices, today announced consolidated financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006.

Second quarter highlights are as follows (financial comparisons are to second quarter 2005):

-- Revenues more than doubled to $3.4 million

-- Manufactured product sales increased $1.6 million or 175% to $2.5 million

-- Company reported net income of $228,000, an improvement of $716,000

-- Merger with The Med-Design Corporation closed on June 2, 2006

-- Cash and cash equivalents increased to $7.1 million and all debt is extinguished

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $3.4 million, representing a 102% increase compared to $1.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2005. Manufactured product sales increased 175% to $2.5 million and accounted for 75% of total revenue. Royalties from licensed products increased 29% to $527,000. SHPI revenue streams contributed $3.0 million of total revenue in the second quarter. Consolidated results include approximately one month of sales from Med-Design manufactured products and royalties from licensed products, which contributed $384,000 of total revenue in the quarter.

Gross profit for the quarter was $2.2 million, representing a 94% increase compared to the second quarter of 2005 and a 65% gross profit margin. SHPI reported net income of $228,000 for the quarter, an improvement of $716,000 compared to a net loss of $488,000 reported in the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was breakeven on an earnings per diluted share basis compared to a net loss of $(0.01) per diluted share for the same period last year.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $5.4 million, an increase of 62% compared to $3.3 million reported for the same period in 2005. Manufactured product sales increased 128% to $3.9 million and accounted for 73% of total revenue for the six-month period. Royalty revenue was flat compared to the first six months of 2005 at $962,000. SHPI reported a net loss of $315,000 or $(0.01) per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $706,000 or $(0.02) per diluted share for the same period in 2005.

"The second quarter marked a turning point for SHPI," commented Jeff Soinski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We achieved our first $3 million revenue quarter and transitioned the company to profitability on a GAAP accounting basis. We also completed our acquisition of Med-Design and substantially completed our integration, so that we can immediately start to benefit from the significant cost-savings associated with the merger. With the strong growth of our manufactured products, driven primarily by the success of our MiniLoc(TM) Safety Infusion Set product line launched in the second half of last year, and the addition of the Med-Design revenue streams, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to deliver profitable growth in the coming quarters."

"We are off to a strong start in the third quarter. We are experiencing continued strength in our safety infusion set product lines, have added new OEM customers for our SecureLoc(TM) Safety Introducer Needle launched at the end of last year, and have fully completed the Med-Design integration," continued Mr. Soinski. "During the quarter, we have also re-launched the SafeStep(R) Huber Needle Set brand acquired from Med-Design and have begun a product optimization program."

"We expect to begin shipping two new manufactured product lines in the third quarter under exclusive supply agreements with large corporate customers," added Mr. Soinski. "Bard Access Systems recently received FDA marketing clearance for PowerLoc(TM), a power-injectable safety infusion set designed to be used in conjunction with Bard's exciting new PowerPort(TM) product line. Under our agreement, we will manufacture the PowerLoc(TM) Safety Infusion Set product line for Bard and supply it to them on an OEM private label basis. We also expect to begin shipping bone marrow biopsy needles to Tyco Healthcare during the quarter. We will initially manufacture and supply conventional product to Tyco based upon an enhanced ergonomic design, and follow with proprietary safety product offerings once FDA marketing clearance is obtained."

"We had previously projected 70% to 80% revenue growth in 2006 on a combined company basis compared with SHPI's stand alone revenue in 2005," said Mr. Soinski. "Based upon our performance in the first half of the year, we now believe that we can deliver 80% to 90% revenue growth in 2006 for total revenue of $12.6 to $13.3 million this year. In addition, we expect to be profitable on a GAAP accounting basis and cash flow positive from operations in 2006."
