EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (this “Amendment”) amends our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2013 (the “Original 10-K Filing”). The purpose of this Amendment is to include certain information required by Part III of Form 10-K that was omitted from Part III of our Original 10-K Filing because it was to be incorporated by reference from our definitive proxy statement for our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or an amendment to the Original 10-K Filing. Because our proxy statement will not become definitive within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the information required by Part III of Form 10-K cannot be incorporated by reference from the proxy statement and therefore must be filed as an amendment to our Original 10-K Filing. This Amendment also adds as exhibit 3.1.1 to the Exhibit Index contained in the Original 10-K Filing the Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that was contained in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on June 27, 2012, which exhibit was inadvertently omitted from the Original 10-K Filing.

In addition, this Amendment includes the reissuance of the applicable portions of the Section 302 certifications by our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original 10-K Filing. Our Original 10-K filing continues to speak as of the dates described therein, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to such dates. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-K Filing, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in the Original 10-K Filing and this Amendment. In this Amendment, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “ the Company,” and “our” refer to Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. and our subsidiary.

(a) The address of each person named in the table, unless otherwise indicated, is c/o Patient Safety Technologies, Inc., 2 Venture Plaza, Suite 350 Irvine CA, 92618.

(b) To our knowledge, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock and/or preferred stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable (or other beneficial ownership shared with a spouse) and the information contained in this table and these notes.

The Series A Stock votes on all matters submitted to our stockholders for a vote, voting together with the holders of our common stock as a single class, with each share of Series A Stock entitled to one vote per share. Except in special circumstances and where mandated by law, our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") is non-voting.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with SEC rules, which generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to each person who possesses, either solely or shared with others, the power to vote or dispose of those securities.

SEC rules also treat as beneficially owned all shares that a person would receive upon exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants or other securities or rights held by that person that are immediately exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the determination date, which in our case is March 31, 2013. Such shares are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of the person holding such options, warrants securities or other rights, but these shares are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. On March 31, 2013, there were 37,543,448 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 10,950 shares of our Series A Stock issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of our Series B Stock and to customary adjustments to the conversion rate, each share of our Series B Stock is convertible into 133 shares of our common stock so long as the number of shares of our common stock "beneficially owned" (as defined in Rule 13d-3(d)(i) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by the holder, its affiliates and any persons acting as a group with such holder or its affiliates, following such conversion, does not exceed 4.9% of our outstanding common stock (after giving effect to such conversion) (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). Holders of our Series B Stock may, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provided that such Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.9% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Therefore, under SEC rules, a holder who only owns Series B Stock would generally not be deemed a 5% holder because such shares cannot be converted within 60 days of the determination date. Accordingly, such a holder would not be disclosed on this table as a 5% holder. However, for holders of Series B Stock for whom disclosure is required on this table for reasons other than 5% ownership of Series B Stock (i.e., directors and executive officers), the shares underlying the Series B Stock they hold, if any, up to the 4.9% Beneficial Ownership Limit, would be included in the ownership information in this table, unless such limit would preclude any conversion of such Series B Stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

A Plus International, Inc. Wenchen Lin

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company purchased from A Plus approximately $10.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in connection with the manufacture of surgical products used in the Safety-Sponge® System by A Plus. Wayne Lin, a Director and beneficial owner of the Company is a founder, owner and President of A Plus. The vast majority of these amounts were recognized in cost of revenues and inventory. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s accounts payable included $4.0 million and $1.2 million respectively, owed to A Plus in connection with the manufacture and supply of surgical products used in the Safety-Sponge® System. In addition the Company recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 $106 thousand and $0 in interest expense related to the Company incurring interest charges for payables aging outside of contractual terms, respectively. Such interest was classified as a financing cost in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company issued to A Plus Series B preferred shares as paid in kind dividends of 746 and 701, respectively.

Radisson Trading Company

On March 29, 2011 and March 30, 2011, we closed on a private placement financing raising $7.1 million through the issuance of 9.5 million shares of our common stock at a selling price of $0.75 per share. Radisson Trading Company, which beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock, purchased 1,333,333 shares for a purchase price of $1,000,000.

Kinderhook Partners, LP

On May 18, 2012 we closed on a private placement financing raising $3.5 million through the issuance of 2.5 million shares of our common stock at a selling price of $1.40 per share. Kinderhook Partners, LP, which beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock, purchased 1,045,642 shares for a purchase price of $1,463,899.

Cardinal Health

We are party to a Supply and Distribution Agreement with Cardinal Health, which beneficially owns at least 5% of our common stock and which is our exclusive distributor in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. In March 2011, we and Cardinal Health signed an amendment to the Supply and Distribution Agreement (the "Amended Supply and Distribution Agreement"). The Amended Supply and Distribution Agreement revised a number of terms and conditions of the previous agreement, including but not limited to extending the termination date of the agreement from November 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015 and adding certain terms and provisions regarding setting target inventory levels and defining a formula for determining what excess inventory is of our products held by Cardinal Health.

In January 2013, we and Cardinal Health signed the second amendment to the Supply and Distribution agreement. The Second Amendment amends a number of terms under the Supply Agreement and the First Amendment including but not limited to adding certain provisions regarding target inventory levels of the Company’s products held by Cardinal Health, and extending the termination date of the Supply Agreement from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, Cardinal Health is required to maintain any inventory in excess of set target inventory levels up through to December 31, 2013, and the Company agrees to pay a monthly fee to Cardinal Health throughout 2013 based on the amount of any excess inventory held each month by Cardinal Health. The Company will continue to have the right to buy back any such excess inventory from Cardinal Health at any time. Beginning January 1, 2014, Cardinal Health may use any remaining excess inventory to partially meet customer demand according to a formula set forth in the First Amendment which limits the use of any excess inventory over a 12 month time period. Should there be any excess inventory during 2014, the Company will continue to pay Cardinal Health a monthly fee on the excess inventory up through to December 31, 2014, and if there is any excess inventory held by Cardinal Health after December 31, 2014, Cardinal Health will have the right to use that excess inventory to meet customer demand of the Company’s products. Management currently estimates that any fees paid to Cardinal Health under the Second Amendment will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results (currently estimated to range from 1% to 3% of reported revenue for the Company during the years 2013 and 2014), and that any additional growth the Company experiences during 2013 and 2014 will minimize the impact of any fees paid. Additionally, the Second Amendment provides that the Supply Agreement is terminable by Cardinal Health upon a change of control of the Company.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Although we are not listed on the Nasdaq exchange we have chosen their listing standard rules for the evaluation of our director independence. Our board determined that Lynne Sylverstein, John Francis and Dr. Louis Glazer are "independent" as that term is defined in the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, the aggregate fees billed by Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson LLP were as follows:

	2011		2012
Audit Fees	$	140,616	$	142,560
Audit-related Fees	$	46,006	$	21,332
Tax Fees		3,081		—
Total Fees	$	189,703	$	163,892

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end consolidated financial statements and reviews of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by independent registered public accounting firms in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

Audit-related Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. For 2012, these fees related to filing our registration statement on Form S-1. For 2011, these fees also included fees related to assistance with SEC comment letter responses and fees related to filing our registration statement on Form S-1.

Tax Fees. Tax fees consisted principally of fees billed to us for professional services performed with respect to compliance with our tax contingency matter.

Policies and Procedures Relating to Approval of Services by Auditor

Our board of directors functioning as our audit committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. The board will consider whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independent auditor's independence, and will approve such services, should such a situation arise.

Our board has responsibility for appointing, as well as setting the compensation and overseeing the work of, the independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, although permitted by Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to pre-approve the provisions of audit and non-audit services by our independent auditor, our board does not currently have in place formal pre-approval policies and procedures. As such, our board approves each engagement of our independent auditor for audit and permitted non-audit services. Thus, all services provided by Squar Milner during 2012, as described above, were approved by our board of directors in advance of Squar Milner providing such services.
