MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of accounting policies
The unaudited financial statements of Milestone have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in Milestones
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited
financial statements are the same as those described in the December 31, 2006 financial
statements.
In the opinion of Milestone, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to fairly present Milestones
financial position as of June 30, 2007 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The results reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for a full year.
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities
since its inception, including $1,615,170 and $998,422, respectively for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and working
capital of $192,527 and $1,521,126, respectively. Additionally, as discussed in Note 11, on
July 9, 2007, the Company secured a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 from a stockholder. The Company is actively pursuing generation of positive cash
flows from operating activities through increases in revenues based upon managements
assessment of present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating
expenses. Subject to the achievement of the aforementioned increases in revenues and reductions in expenses,
the Company believes that its current resources (including the line of credit)
will be sufficient to fund its planned operations at least through June
30, 2008. However, if the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from its
operating activities it may need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to achieve positive operating cash flows or that additional capital, if
required, can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company if at all. If
additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then the Company could be forced to
curtail medical product development activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental
products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might negatively affect the
Companys operations.
Note 2- Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant
estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory
valuation, distributor advance, cash flow
assumptions regarding

evaluations for impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowances on deferred
tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3 - Royalty receivable
Royalty receivable represents the royalty due from United Systems Inc, the licensee of
Milestones proprietary consumer dental whitening product, which is sold under Milestones
distributors trademark of Ionic White.
Note 4 - Inventories
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Note 5 - Advances to contract manufacturer
Advances to contract manufacturer represent deposits to the Companys contract manufacturer
to fund future inventory purchases.
Note 6 - Basic and diluted net loss per common share
Milestone presents basic earnings (loss) per common share and, if applicable, diluted
earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128). Basic earnings (loss) per common
shares is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and to be issued during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings
per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have
been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the
exercise of stock options and warrants, and the conversion of notes payable and preferred stock
were issued during the period.
Since Milestone had net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
the assumed effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were not
included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding
options and warrants totaled 3,309,746 and 3,539,085 at June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Note 7 - Significant Customer
Milestone had one customer who accounted for approximately 88% and 69% of its net product
sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 22% of its net
product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Sales to customers outside the United States were 18% and 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and were 18% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007,
receivables from two customers were approximately 63% and 31% respectively of Milestones
gross accounts receivable.
Note 8 - Stock Option Plans
Milestone adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, (SFAS No. 123R) under the
modified-prospective transition method on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock

options, to be
recognized in the income statements over the service period, as an operating
expense, based on the grant-date fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an
alternative. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes as compensation
expense in its financial statements the unvested portion of existing options granted prior
to the effective date and the cost of stock options granted to employees after the
effective date based on the fair value of the stock options at grant date.
Employees: As of
June 30, 2007, employees held 137,667 outstanding options granted to
them under the Milestone 1997 Stock Option Plan and 305,000 outstanding options granted to
them under the Milestone 2004 Stock Option Plan. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R the
Company recognized $76,653 and $97,420 in share-based compensation expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively.
The fair value of
each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in the six
months ended June 30, 2007: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 96%; risk free
interest rate of 4.97% and expected term of 3.5 years.
Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatility of the companys common stock. The
company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the
valuation model. The expected term of the option granted is estimated based on historical
behavior of employees and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to
be outstanding. A summary of option activity under the plan as of June 30, 2007, and
changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

Note 9 Agreements to Issue Common Stock and Stock Options
Under an agreement, the Companys marketing associate for a consumer tooth whitening product
agreed to purchase, at $3.00 per share, 500,000 shares of Milestone common stock in
quarterly installments of 125,000 shares within 10 days after the end of each of the four
fiscal quarters commencing July 1, 2005. Milestone is not required to sell these shares
unless the associate has purchased at least 625,000 starter kits in the first quarter, at
least 1,250,000 starter kits in the first two quarters and at least 1,875,000 starter kits
in the first three quarters. Further, at Milestones option, all shares previously
purchased must be returned to Milestone and all monies paid to Milestone returned to the
associate if it has not purchased an aggregate of at least 3,000,000 starter kits for the
twelve-month period ending June 30,2006.
This agreement has been repeatedly extended for the associates commitment to purchase
common stock. As of June 30, 2007, no shares have been sold under this agreement, as the
associate did not purchase the minimum amount of starter kits.

Note 10- Recent Accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in
income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in accordance with Statement
109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for financial
disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally,
FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN
48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (FASB 159)
which permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and
liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option).
FASB 159 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the possible
impact of adopting FASB 159 on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No.157, Fair Value Measurements. (FASB 157).
FASB 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB
157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB 157 to have
material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
Note 11- Contingent Liabilities
Through December 31, 2006 Milestone paid royalties in connection with its
tooth whitening products to a purported holder of patent rights therein. Late
in 2006 it received a copy of a patent office filing which appeared to show
that the purported owner had relinquished rights to the patent on which
royalties had been paid. It is possible that, never-the-less, the purported
owner may claim continuing rights to receive royalties or that others may
claim that payments are owed in connection with Milestones prior sales.
Note 12- Subsequent event, Line of credit
On July 9,
2007 we secured a $1 million line of credit from a stockholder. Borrowings
will bear interest at 6% per annum, with one years interest at 1% payable in advance on
each draw. Borrowings and subsequent repayments may be made from time to time, in
increments of $100,000, until the expiration date of the line on December 31, 2008. All
borrowings and interest thereon must be repaid by June 30, 2010, and after the expiration
date of the line, may be repaid by Milestone in cash or, at its option, in shares of Common
Stock valued at the lower of $2.00 per share or 80% of the average closing price of its shares
during the 20 days ending with December 31, 2008. After December 31, 2008, and
before June 30, 2010 the lender may convert all or any part of the then
outstanding balance and interest thereon into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share.
Three year warrants, exercisable at $5.00 per share, in an amount determined by dividing 50%
of the amount borrowed by $5.00, will be issued on each drawdown. There is no facility fee
on the line.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
OVERVIEW
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere
in this Form 10-QSB. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in our Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
During the first two quarters of 2007, the Company made considerable progress in advancing its
refined business strategy primarily focused on the development, commercialization and global
marketing and distribution of innovative painless injection products based on its patented
technology, CompuFlo. Particular emphasis has been concentrated on bringing our patented and novel
Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) delivery system to market, which incorporates the pressure force
feedback elements of the CompuFlo technology, allowing dental practitioners to accurately
administer injections into the periodontal ligament space, thus effectively anesthetizing a single
tooth.
In January 2007, Milestone finalized an Exclusive Distribution and Supply Agreement with Henry
Schein, Inc., one of the worlds largest medical and dental distribution companies, to become the
exclusive distributor of the STA and CompuDent systems (and related ancillary products) in both
North America and Canada. We also granted Henry Schein first right of refusal on distribution
rights of the same products in the international marketplace, excluding Poland, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and South Africa, where we have already identified alternative sales and distribution
partners.
In February 2007, the STA was formally unveiled to market at the 142nd Chicago Dental Society
Midwinter Meeting, one of the largest dental trade events held each year in the U.S. In late
March, we began fulfilling purchase orders from Henry Schein for the STA, with revenue recognition
occurring upon shipment. This resulted in a material improvement in our domestic sales performance
during the first and second quarters of this year, with the collective impact totaling $1,187,352
in sales of STA systems and $42,094 in sales of STA disposable handpieces. In
addition, also in February 2007, Milestone
received purchase orders in the amount of $347,724 for CompuDent systems and handpieces.
The initial controlled soft introduction of our STA delivery system in the U.S. and Canada was
designed to assess and affirm our planned sales, marketing and pricing strategies, as well as
develop grass-roots support in the field prior to our full scale launch of the STA system scheduled
to occur in the fourth quarter of this year or during the first quarter of 2008.
Shipments of the STA delivery system to Henry Scheins customers in the first and second
quarters of 2007 should help to generate opportunities to promote much more rapid market adoption
of the product by dental professionals following the full scale product launch. Further,
early adopters of the STA System should prove to be valuable sources of insight and
information regarding the powerful functionality and user benefits of the system, helping us to
build a meaningful library of product testimonials and a solid base of professional references that
will support and promote Henry Scheins sales and marketing efforts over time.
Through the third quarter 2007 and in collaboration with Corestrength, Inc., a leading
professional dental sales management company contracted in late 2006, we will be engaged in
extensive STA product training with Henry Scheins national sales force, in preparation of the
national product launch. A significant acceleration of the STA market introduction is planned for
the fourth quarter of 2007 beginning with the American Dental Association meeting in September.
The acceleration activities
13
include special sales incentive programs, direct e-mail communications
and other advertising/promotional programs.
Due to our reduced focus on supporting formal sales and marketing initiatives associated with
our legacy dental injection system, CompuDent, domestic sales of the legacy product
declined by 78% in
the second quarter of 2007 to $51,070 when compared to $230,068 in the second quarter of the prior
year. For the first six months of 2007, domestic sales of CompuDent decreased by 25% to $338,296
from $451,862 in the first six months of 2006. However, domestic sales of our disposable
handpieces used in conjunction with CompuDent increased by 11%
in the second quarter of 2007 to $814,881 when compared to $735,482
in the second quarter of 2006. Likewise, domestic sales of
handpieces in the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 13% to $1,673,255, as compared to
$1,477,136 in the comparable 2006 period.
International sales, overall, have continued to decline in 2007 due largely to our foreign
distributors anticipation of the commercial availability of our new STA system, which has
circumvented pro-active marketing of the CompuDent system primarily in the European markets.
Specifically, during the second quarter of 2007, international sales of CompuDent decreased
$85,285 or 144% from $59,378 in the prior years second quarter. For the six months ended June
30, 2007, international sales of CompuDent decreased by 76% to $70,121 from $291,286 in the 2006
period. Although sales of our disposable handpieces used with the CompuDent system increased 6% on
a comparative basis for the six months ended 2007 as compared to 2006 $587,534 in 2007
as compared to $555,074 in 2006, sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 5% to $299,692 from
$315,585 in the comparable 2006 period.
In June 2006, we succeeded in being granted a CE Mark for the STA system, which will permit
sales and marketing of the system in European Union (EU) countries. Although we are now engaged in
determining our near term tactical approach to supporting a formal international market launch of
the product in the fourth quarter of this year, we have already begun shipping STA units and the
associated disposable handpieces to our foreign master distributor. Consequently, during the
second quarter of 2007, we recognized $20,774 for STA systems and $12,986 for handpieces.

internationally, by product category, and the percentage of product sales (net) by each product
category:

Milestone will continue to reinforce and support our growing international sales and
distribution channels. By doing so, we hope to materially expand our global market penetration of
the professional medical and dental industries and drive broad brand awareness and appreciation for
both our legacy and newly commercialized painless injection solutions.
14
In the first quarter of 2007, we signed a Collaboration Agreement with Carticept Medical,
Inc., an Atlanta-based company developing and commercializing advanced medical device technology
for the minimally-invasive treatment of cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. Milestone and
Carticept have agreed to collaborate, at Carticepts cost, on the development of a specialized
Injection System for the treatment of arthritic joints. The Injection System will use our patented
CompuFlo technology to painlessly inject Carticepts proprietary products into the intra-articular
joint space. Once Carticept is satisfied that the prototype meets predetermined performance
benchmarks, then Carticept and Milestone will develop a professional version of the System suitable
for commercialization and distribution to the professional medical markets.
The Carticept agreement represented a significant step forward in our efforts to pursue
strategic partnerships and revenue sharing collaborations with companies who share our interest in
leveraging CompuFlo to develop new, cutting edge solutions capable of addressing many of the more
than 700 market applications identified in the independent research study we commissioned in 2006.
As we progress through 2007, we will continue to work towards identifying other strategic
opportunities for joint development projects using CompuFlo as the impetus for new product
development.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable,
inventories, stock-based compensation, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods presented, statement of operations data as a

Three Months ended June 30, 2007 compared to three months ended June 30, 2006
15
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,806,171 and
$1,475,294 respectively. The $330,877 or 22.4% increase in total revenues is primarily related to
STA unit and handpiece sales of $594,914 which did not exist in this same period last year
offset by a decrease in domestic sales of CompuDent units of $178,998 or 77.8%. Disposable
handpiece sales increased $79,399 or 10.8% domestically while international sales decreased
$15,893 or 5.0%. The amount of $35,834 or 2.0% of total revenue is royalty income from granting
United Systems Inc. a license to manufacture, market, and sublicense the Ionic White to the
consumer market.
Cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $955,274 and
$688,124, respectively. The $267,150 or 38.8% increase is primarily attributable to write down of
slow moving whitening inventory of $50,535 and refurbished CompuDent units of $90,478. The
balance of the increase is due to additional cost of goods sold for the higher revenues
previously discussed. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Milestone generated a gross profit
of $858,235 or 48% as compared to a gross profit of $781,533 or 53% for the same period in 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
were $1,809,554 and $1,369,497, respectively. The $440,057 or 32.1% increase is attributable
primarily to an increase in marketing and media costs related to the domestic introduction of the
STA delivery system of approximately $181,000 which include costs related to advertising, trade
show participation and on going sales training and support, and approximately $233,000 increase in
professional fees and a $75,417 non-cash charge associated with the accounting for share based
compensation expense.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $121,398 and
$390,741, respectively. The decrease of $269,343 or 68.9% is due to completion of the development
of Milestones STA delivery system.
Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,072,717 and
$978,705, respectively. The $94,012 or 9.6% increase in loss from operations is primarily the
result of inventory write-downs and higher selling, general and administrative costs as described
earlier.
Interest income of $3,799 was earned in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$24,690 earned for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $20,891 or 84% in interest income is
the result of a decreased average cash balance.
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was
$1,068,918 as compared to a net loss of $954,015 for the same period in 2006. The $114,903 or
12.0% increase in net loss is primarily a result of inventory write-downs and higher selling,
general and administrative costs as described earlier.
Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $4,116,134 and $3,173,050
respectively. Total revenues increased by $943,084 or 29.7%. Contributing to this increase was
STA unit and handpiece sales of $1,263,207 which did not exist in this same period last year
offset by a decrease in domestic sales of CompuDent units of $113,566 or 25.1%. Additionally, international
revenue decreased $221,165 or 75.9% as compared to the comparable 2006 period. Domestic disposable handpiece
sales increased $196,119 or 13.3% and international disposable handpiece sales increased $32,460 or 5.8%.
The amount of $83,770 or 2.0% of total revenue is royalty income from granting United Systems Inc.
a license to manufacture, market, and sublicense the Ionic White to the consumer market. Royalty income (net of royalty expenses) declined $78,897 or
48.0% reflecting retail competition in this increasingly highly competitive market.
16
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,331,236 or 56.6% and
$1,711,707 or 53.9%, respectively. Gross profit in the 2007 period was reduced $141,013 because
of a write down of whitening inventory of $50,535 and Compudent refurbished units of $90,478. The
gross profit increase was due principally to the increase in units sold due to the STA delivery
system previously discussed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
were $3,646,442 and $2,849,212 respectively. The increase of $797,230 or 28.0% is primarily
attributable to an increase of $260,796 in the non-cash charge associated with share based
compensation, as well as an increase of approximately $71,000 in marketing costs associated to the
preliminary domestic launch of the STA delivery system, professional fees of approximately $165,000
over 2006 levels primarily the result of increased patent protection costs, and royalty expenses
associated with the STA delivery system and STA handpieces which did not exist last year amounted
to approximately $113,000.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were
$299,964 and $554,183, respectively. These costs are primarily associated with the development of
our STA delivery system and continuing efforts on the CompuFlo technology.
Interest income of $11,135 was earned for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$52,094 for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $40,959 or 78.6% is the result of a
decreased average cash balance.
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased
by $35,559 or 2.2% over the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Milestone incurred net losses of $3,152,268, $1,604,035,and $1,639,594 and negative cash flows
from operating activities of $1,650,718, $998,422 and $861,400 during the year ended
December 31, 2006, and the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, Milestone had cash and cash equivalents of $192,527 and working
capital of $1,521,126.
The
Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from
operating activities since its inception, including $1,615,170 and
$998,422, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $192,527 and $1,521,126, respectively.
Additionally, as discussed in Note 11, on July 9, 2007, the
Company secured a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 from a stockholder. The Company is actively pursuing
generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through
increases in revenues based upon managements assessment of
present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in
operating expenses. Subject to the achievement of the aforementioned
increases in revenues and reductions in expenses, the Company believes that its current resources
(including the line of credit) will be sufficient to fund its planned
operations at least through June 30, 2008.
However, if the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows
from its operating activities it may need to raise additional
capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve positive operating cash flows or that additional capital, if
required, can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to the
Company is at all. If additional capital is required and it cannot be
raised, then the Company could be forced to curtail medical product
development activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental
products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might
negatively affect the Companys operations.
17
for at least the next 12 months. However, if Milestone determines that it is in its
best interests to increase funding for the development of various proposed medical products from
its own resources, rather than relying on the advancement of development funds by existing or
potential development partners, if development partners willing to fund certain development
activities cannot be found or if cash flow from operations is less than now expected, Milestone may
need to raise additional capital. No assurances can be given that additional capital, if required,
can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to Milestone. If additional capital is required
and it cannot be raised, then Milestone could be forced to curtail medical product development
activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt other cost saving
measures, any of which might negatively affect long-term growth prospects.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
