Item 4.01: Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) On October 2, 2007, Milestone Scientific, Inc. (the Company) dismissed Eisner LLP
(Eisner) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Eisner on the Companys financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Companys Audit Committee.
Through October 2, 2007 there were no disagreements with Eisner on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if
not resolved to Eisners satisfaction, would have caused Eisner to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. The Company has not prepared financial
statements for any period subsequent to June 30, 2007 and has not discussed with Eisner any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure with respect to such subsequent period.
The Company provided Eisner with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing and requested
that Eisner furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether or not Eisner agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated
October 5, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) On October 2, 2007, the Company engaged Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP (HRR) as its
independent registered public accounting firm. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of HRR, neither the
Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted HRR regarding: (i) the application of accounting
principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, which consultation resulted in the
providing of written or oral advice concerning the same to the Company that was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
Rule 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or a
reportable event (as defined in Rule 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B).
