MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Milestone Scientific Inc. (Milestone or the Company) was incorporated in the State of
Delaware in August 1989.
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, 2008 included in Milestones Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited financial statements are the
same as those described in the December 31, 2008 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
The results reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 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 a net loss of $1,218,183 and $1,089,002 for the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$498,576 and negative working capital of $574,386. The working capital is negative by the inclusion
in current liabilities as of June 30, 2009, of the $1,300,000 line of credit, due on June 30, 2010.
As discussed in Note 5, the Company secured a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of
$1.3 million from a stockholder which line was fully borrowed at 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, or at its option, in shares of common stock. As mentioned
above, this borrowing is classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2009. Additionally, the
Company borrowed $450,000 in 2008 from the same shareholder, with a due date of January 2009. This
additional borrowing was refinanced at December 31, 2008 and the due date was extended to June 30,
2012 (as discussed in Note 5). The Company, at June 30, 2009, expects to have sufficient cash
reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations through December 31, 2009. Additionally, the
Company is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities
through an increase in revenue based upon managements assessment of present contracts and current
negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. If the Company is unable to generate positive
cash flows from its operating activities, it will 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 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 would be forced to curtail its
development activities, reduce marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt other cost
saving measures, any of which might negatively affect the Companys operating results.
The Companys recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Milestone considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.
Patents
Patents are recorded at actual cost to prepare and file the applicable documents with the United
States Patent Office, or internationally with the applicable governmental office in the respective
country. Although certain patents have not yet been approved, the costs related to these patents
are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the patent. If
the applicable patent application is ultimately rejected, the remaining unamortized balance will be
expensed in the period in which the Company receives a notice of such rejection. Patent
applications filed and patents obtained in foreign countries are subject to the laws and procedures
that differ from those in the United States. Patent protection in foreign countries may be
different from patent protection under United States laws and may not be favorable to the Company.
The Company also attempts to protect our proprietary information through the use of confidentiality
agreements limiting access to our facilities. There can be no assurance that our program of
patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to our facilities will be sufficient to
protect our proprietary technology.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to our domestic
distributors on the date of arrival of the goods at the customers location as shipments are FOB
destination. Shipments to our international distributors are FOB our warehouse and revenue is
therefore recognized on shipment. In both cases, the price to the buyer is fixed and the
collectability is reasonably assured. Further, we have no obligation on these sales for any post
sale installation, set-up or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Customer
acceptance is considered made at delivery. Our only obligation after sale is the normal commercial
warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the
warranty period.
Royalty income was recognized as earned based on reports received from the licensee, and related
royalty expense is accrued during the same period.
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, 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets,
issued in November 2007, provides accounting and reporting guidance when an intangible acquired
though a business combination or an asset acquisition that an entity does not intend to use but
does intend to prevent others from using, commonly called a defensive asset or a locked up asset,
because while the asset is not being actively used, it is likely contributing to an increase in the
value of the other assets owned by the entity. This issue is effective for intangible assets
acquired on or after the beginning
of the first annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This Statement does not
currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
9
EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Agreements, issued in November 2007, defines a
Collaborative Arrangement and establishes the reporting requirements for transactions between
participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in an arrangement with third
parties. This issue shall be effective beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. This Statement does not currently impact the financial statements of the
Company.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.141 (revised),
Summary No. 141 (revised 2007). SFAS No.141 (revised) provides for improving the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its
financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No.141 (revised) applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15,
2008. This statement does not currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.160, Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements- and amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No.160 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for non-controlling interests, sometimes called minority interests, the portion of equity
in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. SFAS No.160 is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008.
This statement does not currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB No. 133. This Statement requires enhanced disclosure about an
entitys derivative and hedging activities. The effective date for this Statement is for financial
statements issued for fiscal year and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. This
Statement does not currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 14-1, Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1) which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a net
settlement feature; which means that such convertible debt instruments, by their terms, may be
settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of
convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion to
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflective of the issuers
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Previous guidance provided for accounting for this type of
convertible debt instrument entirely as debt. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal
years. This statement does not currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
- an interpretation of FASB No.60. The Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a
claim liability prior to an event of default, when the evidence that credit deterioration has
occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within the fiscal year. This Statement does not
currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events a statement that requires
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements
are issued. The effective date of this statement is for interim or annual financial periods after
June 15, 2009. This Statement does impact and is adopted by the Company as of the effective date of
the statement.
The FASB issued Statement No.166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of
FASB No. 140 in June 2009. The purpose of this statement was to address practices that developed
subsequent to the issuance of SFAS No. 140, that were not consistent with the intent or key
requirements of that statement. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each entitys
first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. This Statement does not
currently impact the financial statements of the Company.
Statement No.167 Amendment to FASB Interpretation No.46(R) was issued in June 2009 by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board. The purpose is to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities. The
statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period
that begins after November 15, 2009. This Statement does not currently impact the financial
statements of the Company.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 balances to conform to the presentation used
in 2009. These reclassification had no effect on operating results previously reported.
NOTE 2 BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Milestone presents basic earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders and,
if applicable, diluted earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders
pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per
Share (SFAS 128). Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or
loss applicable to common stockholders 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 were
issued during the period.
Since Milestone had net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 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 1,295,331 at June 30, 2009 and 3,535,412 at June 30, 2008. The major reduction in the total
outstanding options and warrants is due to the expiration of 2,182,946 of warrants in the first and
second quarter of 2009. Outstanding warrants totaled 175,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2,357,946 at June
30, 2008.
NOTE 3 STOCK OPTION PLANS
Effective January 1, 2006, Milestone adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS No. 123R), under the modified-prospective transition method whereby
prior periods will not be restated for comparability. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
statements of operations 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, Milestone 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.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Milestone accounted for its stock option plans using the
intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25.
A summary of option activity for employees under the plans as of June 30, 2009, and changes during
the six months ended is presented below:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the six months
ended June 30, 2009 was $0.46. The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
expected life five years, volatility of 301% and a risk free interest rate of 1.20%. A six percent
rate of forfeitures is assumed in the calculation of the compensation costs for the period.
Milestone recognizes compensation expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service
period. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Milestone recognized $46,222 of total
compensation cost related to options that vested during the period. As of June 30, 2009, there was
$99,819 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options which Milestone
expects to recognize over a weighted average period of three and one quarter years.
11
The expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Milestones common stock over a
period commensurate with anticipated term. Milestone uses historical data to estimate option
exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of the options
granted was estimated using the simplified method as the average of the contractual term and
vesting term of the option.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Milestone recognized $62,136 of expenses related to
non-employee options that vested during the period. The total unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested options was $32,382 as of June 30, 2009.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123R, all other issuances of common stock, stock
options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services
received by Milestone are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
(unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). The fair value
of any options or similar equity instruments issued is estimated based on the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, which meets the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 123R, and the assumption that
all of the options or other equity instruments will ultimately vest. Such fair value is measured as
of an appropriate date pursuant to the guidance in the consensus of the EITF for EITF Issue No.
96-18 (generally, the earlier of the date the other party becomes committed to provide goods or
services or the date of performance by the other party is complete) and capitalized or expensed as
if Milestone had paid cash for the goods or services.
NOTE 4 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Milestones financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and advances to contract manufacturers. Milestone
places its cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. At times, such investments
may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. Milestone has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risks. Financial instruments which potentially subject Milestone to credit risk consist principally
of trade accounts receivable, as Milestone does not require collateral or other security to support
customer receivables, and advances to a contract manufacturer. Milestone entered into a purchase
agreement in 2004 with a vendor to supply Milestone with 5,000 units of CompuDent. As part of this
agreement, Milestone has a remaining advance of approximately $525,685 with the vendor for
purchase of materials at June 30, 2009. The advance will be credited to Milestone as the goods are
delivered. Milestone does not believe that significant credit risk exists with respect to this
advance to the contract manufacturer at June 30, 2009.
Milestone closely monitors the extension of credit to its customers while maintaining allowances,
if necessary, for potential credit losses. On a periodic basis, Milestone evaluates its accounts
receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past
write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Management does not believe that
significant credit risk exists with respect to accounts receivable at June 30, 2009.

NOTE 5 LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTE PAYABLE
On June 28, 2007, the Company secured a $1 million line of credit from a stockholder. This
borrowing was amended to $1,300,000 as of September 30, 2008 under the same terms and conditions as
the original. Borrowings bear interest at 6% per annum, with one years interest at 1% payable in
advance on each draw. Monies may be drawn by Milestone under the line in multiples of $100,000 upon
five days written notice to the stockholder from either Milestones Chief Executive Officer or
Chief Financial Officer. Monies under the line in excess of $1,000,000 may be drawn in multiples of
$25,000. Borrowings may be prepaid at any time in multiples of $100,000, without penalty. 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
trading days ending with December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, the conversion price at 80% of
the average closing price of the Companys common stock was $0.26 per share. 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. The warrants have been
valued as of each draw down using the Black-Scholes model and are reflected as a discount against
the debt incurred under this line of credit. At June 30, 2009, the remaining balance of Debt
Discount was $36,152. The full amount of the line of credit and amendment, $1.3 million, had been
drawn at December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, this line of credit is classified as a current
liability on the Condensed Balance Sheet. The Company borrowed an additional $450,000 from the same
shareholder in 2008. The borrowing was originally on short term loan with a maturity date of
January 19, 2009. In December 2008, this borrowing was refinanced with the shareholder with a due
date of June 30, 2012. The borrowing includes a 12 percent interest rate, interest compounded
quarterly, with interest and principle due at the maturity. Further, the note has warrants
exercisable for five years at the price of $0.32 per share for 45,000 shares of stock. The warrants
were valued using the Black-Scholes model and are reflected as a discount against the debt. At June
30, 2009, the discount was $12,555.
Interest expense on this line of credit and note payable for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and

In January 2007, Milestone finalized an Exclusive Distribution and Supply Agreement with Henry
Schein, Inc. Henry Schein, Inc. served as the exclusive distributor of STA and CompuDent systems
(and ancillary products) in both North America and Canada, for a one year period. In June 2008,
Milestone implemented a change to its domestic distribution strategy and signed Henry Schein, Inc.
as a non-exclusive distributor of STA and CompuDent systems (and ancillary products) in the United
States and Canada. That same month, the Company also signed Patterson Dental Supply as an
additional non-exclusive partner to promote sales of our products in the United States and Canada.
Early in the third quarter, the Company added four more non-exclusive distributors to our domestic
sales network, including Benco Dental, Burkhard Dental, Goetze Dental and Atlanta Dental.
Milestone continued to expand its domestic distribution network during the first six months of
2009, welcoming Darby Dental Supply, Dental Health Products, Nashville Dental and Parkway Dental.
The Company has informal arrangements with the manufacturer of our STA, CompuDent and CompuMed
units, one of the principal manufacturers of our handpieces and for those units pursuant to which
they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders but without any long-term contract
or minimum purchase commitment. The Company has established an alternate source of supply for our
handpieces in China and other alternate sources of supply exist.
NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND OTHER
Contract Manufacturing Arrangement
Milestone has informal arrangements for the manufacture of its products. CompuDent, STA and
CompuMed units are manufactured for Milestone by Tricor Systems, Inc. pursuant to specific purchase
orders. The Wand disposable handpiece without a needle is manufactured for Milestone in Mexico
pursuant to scheduled production requirements. The Wand and STA handpieces (with and without
needles) is supplied to Milestone by a product broker that arranges for its manufacture by
manufacturers in China.
The termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of the above manufacturers could have a
material adverse effect on Milestones ability to produce and sell its products. Although alternate
sources of supply exist and new manufacturing relationships could be established, Milestone would
need to recover its existing tools or have new tools produced. Establishment of new manufacturing
relationships could involve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruption of the
supply, whether or not as a result of termination of such a relationship, would adversely affect
Milestone.
NOTE 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As of July 1, 2009, Milestone established a direct path to its international distributors network.
Effectively, Milestone will sell directly to existing and new international distributors, rather
than through its previous worldwide distributor in South Africa. As part of the change, Milestone
agreed to pay a commission to the previous distributor, based on actual international sales, over
the next six years. The commission is structured at two levels: Level One is based on historical
sales volume and Level Two is determined for incremental sales volume over the Level One plateau.
The company evaluated this event in June 2009 and continues to monitor the agreement through the
date that the financial statements are issued.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation.
The following discussions 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-Q. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute
forward-looking statements, within the meaning of section 21E of the Exchange Act, that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. See Risk Factors on Part II. ITEM 1A of this Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
During the second quarter of 2009, Milestone remained focused on advancing efforts to achieve
its two primary objectives; those being:
|
|
|
Optimizing our tactical approach to product sales and marketing in order to
materially increase penetration of the global dental and medical markets with our
proprietary, patented Computer-Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery (C-CLAD) solution,
the STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System (STA System); and |
|
|
|
|
Identifying and pursing strategic collaborations with third parties to jointly
develop new products utilizing our patented CompuFlo pressure force technology for novel
new medical applications. |
STA System Awards Industry Recognition
Since its market introduction in the spring of 2007, the STA System has received rave reviews
and awards from the dental industry. In July 2007, noted industry publication Dentistry Today
featured the STA System as one of the Top 100 Products in 2007, helping to promote much broader
recognition of the instrument and validating the STA Systems value proposition for dentists and
patients, alike. In April 2008, Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry magazine distinguished the STA
System as a 2008 Medical Design Excellence Award winner in the Dental Instruments, Equipment and
Supplies product category. Of the 33 products to receive this coveted award, the STA System was
one of only two winning products that serve dental practitioners.
In December 2008, the STA System was again recognized as one of the dental industrys best
technological innovations, winning a Townie Choice Award from Dentaltown Magazine in the category
Anesthetics: Technique System. This marked the second consecutive year that Milestone won a
Townie Choice Award in 2007, the Company won the same award for its CompuDent/The Wand. Also in
December 2008, Milestones STA System was named as a Dental Products Report Top 100 2008 Product
of Distinction. Each year, DPR spotlights the years Top 100 products. Of these 100 products, 50
are the ones most often inquired about by DPRs readers via an online and Product Information Card
reader service program. The other 50 represent New Classics, which recognize both old and newer
products and categories chosen by DPRs editorial staff for their perceived impact on driving
innovation or helping to establish a new, higher standard of care for patients. The STA System was
recognized as a New Classic in the Technology category.
Second Annual Symposium on C-CLAD
In addition to winning noted acclaim among leading dental publications, our award winning STA
System has also been gaining the support of many of the worlds leading dental practitioners and
key opinion leaders. In February 2008, we hosted the First International C-CLAD Symposium in New
Orleans, welcoming a distinguished panel of dental experts who gathered to discuss advancements in
the scientific and clinical practice communities toward the common goal of advancing the science,
knowledge and art of C-CLAD in dentistry. The forum yielded a number of exciting ideas on how
Milestone can integrate the STA System not only into dental school curricula, but also extend
messaging regarding its many unique benefits to the dental community and patients, alike.
15
On May 1-3, 2009, Milestone hosted the 2nd Annual Symposium on C-CLAD in Amelia
Island, Florida. Stanley Malamed, DDS, Professor of Anesthesia & Medicine at the University of
Southern California, School of Dentistry, again served as Chairman of the invitational event. With
attendance triple that of 2008, this years Symposium covered a broad range of C-CLAD-related
topics including:
|
|
|
Treating with Connection |
|
|
|
STA Compassionate Care in the 21st Century |
|
|
|
Injection Advances and Challenges |
|
|
|
Physiologic and Clinical Characteristics of PDL Anesthesia Delivered by a High
Pressure Handpiece and a Computerized Device |
|
|
|
The STA for Tots and Teens |
|
|
|
Computerized Local Anesthesia in Dentistry: A Review |
|
|
|
Managing a Successful Dental Practice: Why People Keep Coming Back |
|
|
|
STA The Dental Schools Perspective |
|
|
|
Futuristic Vistas: The Dentist/Hygienist Partnership |
In October 2009, Milestone expects to publish and broadly distribute more than 100,000 copies of a
comprehensive monograph reflecting the topics discussed at the Symposium and a consensus on the
attendees attitudes, ideas and suggestions relating to promoting global industry adoption of
C-CLAD technologies as the new standard of care for administering dental injections.
STA System Growth
Since its market introduction in early 2007, the STA System has been used to deliver tens of
millions of safe, effective and comfortable injections. The instrument has also been favorably
evaluated in numerous peer-reviewed, published clinical studies and associated articles. Moreover,
there appears to be a growing consensus among users that the STA System is proving to be a valuable
and beneficial instrument that is positively impacting the practice of dentistry worldwide. The
utility and value of the STA System is perhaps best summarized by Dr. Joe Blaes, who wrote in the
December 2008 edition of Dental Economics, I tried the STA System and my patients absolutely love
it. This is a no brainer go get one ASAP!
Global Distribution Network
The STA System and related handpieces are marketed to the dental industry in the United States
and Canada by many of the nations leading dental supply companies including Henry Schein, Inc.,
Patterson Dental Supply, Benco Dental, Burkhart Dental, Goetze Dental, Atlanta Dental, Darby Dental
Supply, Dental Health Products, Nashville Dental and Parkway Dental.
Collectively, our domestic network has more than 2,500 independent sales representatives
trained to sell the STA System and related handpieces to dentists throughout the United States and
Canada.
On the global front, we also have granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the
STA System to select dental suppliers in various international regions. They include Istrodent in
South Africa and Unident in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
In May 2009, the Company signed an Exclusive Distribution and Marketing Agreement with China
National Medicines Corporation d/b/a Sinopharm, which is Chinas largest domestic manufacturer,
distributor and marketer of pharmaceuticals and importer of medical devices and the countrys
largest domestic distributor of dental anesthetic carpules to the Chinese dental industry.
Shortly before the end of the second quarter, Milestone announced that it was refining its
marketing strategy to gain greater access to and penetration of the international dental markets
for the STA System, CompuDent and related disposable hand pieces. The new sales strategy provides
for increasing hands-on oversight and support of Milestones existing international distribution
network, while also attracting new distributors throughout Europe, Asia and South America. To
assist in this endeavor, Milestone named Shaul Koren, founder and CEO of Istrodent Pty Ltd AB and
one of Milestones strongest marketing allies outside of the U.S., as its new international sales
director. In collaboration with senior management, Mr. Koren will help manage product sales for
the Company in all non-domestic markets worldwide.
16
As a result of growing market awareness and appreciation of the STA System, coupled with our
active marketing efforts, sales of the instrument (and related handpieces) yielded four consecutive
quarters of growth in 2008. In the first six months of this year, we saw no indication that this
trend is slowing or reversing. Sales of the STA System and related handpieces helped increase total
revenues by $1,496,058 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, when compared to the same six
month period in the prior year.

The Company earned gross profits of 58% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. However, our revenues and related gross profits have not been sufficient to support
our overhead, new product introduction and research and development expenses. Although the Company
anticipates expending funds for research and development in 2009, these amounts will vary based on
the operating results for each quarter. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash
flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company is actively pursuing the
generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through increase in revenue, assessment
of current contracts and current negotiations and reduction in operating expenses. The Company, at
June 30, 2009, expects to have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations
through December 31, 2009.
New Product Development and Commercialization Utilizing CompuFlo Technology
Over the last decade, the drug delivery industry has evolved to become a key area in the
development of value-added pharmaceutical products. According to market research firm Business
Insights, The global market grew from $15 billion to $40 billion during 2000-2006 as companies
increasingly turned to drug delivery technologies as a means of expanding product lifecycles,
enhancing drug efficacy and maximizing revenues. Moreover, industry analysts agree that as
patients live longer and are diagnosed with chronic and often debilitating ailments, the result
will be a dramatic increase in self-administration of drug therapies in non-traditional settings
for a number of conditions. This trend is creating an increased interest in routes of
administration that are patient-friendly and cost-effective. It appears that pharma company
decision makers are realizing that new drug product success no longer only depends on the
medication itself, but also on achieving a patient-friendly form of application.
17
In keeping with our stated goal for leveraging Milestones patented CompuFlo technology in new
medical applications, Milestones management team has also continued to identify and pursue
opportunities to form strategic collaborations in the areas of self-administered drug delivery,
injections for osteoarthritis pain management and epidurals. The response to Milestones
proprietary technology with whom Milestone has engaged in meaningful teaming discussions has
continued to be encouraging. Throughout 2008, the Company met with healthcare companies who
expressed interest in potential applications of the CompuFlo technology. As Milestone progresses
through 2009, the Company will maintain its pursuit of CompuFlo-based product development prospects
that are deemed the most promising and commercially viable, and offer the greatest potential for
allowing Milestone to fully realize the product development and commercialization opportunities.
Executive Management Change
On March 27, 2009, we accepted the resignation of our Chief Executive Officer, who chose to
leave Milestone to pursue a new career opportunity. Our Chairman of the Board has temporarily
assumed the post of Interim Chief Executive Officer and will remain as such until a suitable
replacement has been identified and appointed by our Board of Directors.
Technology Rights
The technology underlying our SafetyWand and CompuFlo technology and an improvement to the
controls for CompuDent were developed by our Director of Clinical Affairs and assigned to us. We
purchased this technology pursuant to an agreement dated January 1, 2005, for 43,424 shares of
restricted common stock and $145,000 in cash, paid on April 1, 2005. In addition, our Director of
Clinical Affairs will receive additional contingent payments of 2.5% of our total sales of
CompuDent and Wand Plus units using some of these technologies, and 5% of our total sales of STA
units and handpieces using some of our other technologies. If products produced by third parties
use any of these technologies, under a license from Milestone, then he will also receive the
corresponding percentage of the consideration received by us for such sale or license.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
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.
Accounts Receivable
The realization of Accounts Receivable will have a significant impact on the Company.
Consequently, Milestone estimates losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make
payments for amounts billed. The collectability of outstanding amounts is continually assessed.
Inventories
Inventory costing, obsolescence and physical control are significantly important to the
on-going operation of the business. Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component
parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on
hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is
recorded if required based on past and expected future sales.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The long lived assets of the Company, principally patents and trademarks are the base features
of the business. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations
change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The
carrying value of the asset is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future
undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets.
18
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to our domestic
distributors on the date of arrival of the goods at the customers location as shipments are FOB
destination. Shipments to our international distributor are FOB our warehouse and revenue is
therefore recognized on shipment. In both cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the
collectability is reasonably assured. Further, we have no obligation on these sales for any post
installation, set-up or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Customer
acceptance is considered made at delivery. Our only obligation after sale is the normal commercial
warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the
warranty period.
Results of Operations
The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the
same six month period in 2008 reflect our focus and development on the STA System, as well as the
Company continuing efforts on identifying collaborative partners for new product development
utilizing our CompuFlo technology.
The following table sets forth for the periods presented statement of operations data as a
percentage of revenues. The trends suggested by this table may not be indicative of future
operating results.

Three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to three months ended June 30, 2008
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2,036,902 and
$1,549,890, respectively. The total increase in product sales of $496,019, or 32%, in 2009 over
2008 is primarily the result of the continued STA product sales growth. Domestic STA unit sales
increased $569,457 in 2009 over 2008. This notable increase is due to the change in our distributor
business model, initiated in the second quarter of 2008. The exclusive distributor arrangement was
terminated in the second quarter of 2008 and a non exclusive arrangement was implemented with
several national and regional distributors. In the domestic market, handpiece sales were lower,
decreasing by $138,746 or 14%. On the international front, unit sales increased in the second
quarter of 2009 over 2008 by $132,702, or 85%, principally due to
increased market penetration for the STA System. Internationally, handpieces decreased by
$55,009, or 14% due to a lower demand.
Cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $862,741 and
$594,437, respectively. The $268,304, or 45%, increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
sales volume and a write-down of returned legacy defective merchandise of $36,066 in 2009.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Milestone generated a gross profit of $1,174,161, or
58%, as compared to a gross profit of $955,453, or 62%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to product mix and the $36,066 write-down of
returned legacy defective merchandise. The total increase in gross profit dollars of $218,708 is
due to an increase in sales volume.
19
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
were $1,753,237 and $1,367,807, respectively. The $385,430, or 28%, net increase is described in
the following sections of this paragraph. Although the Company continues to reduce expenses, the
2009 second quarter increase was due to higher expenses relating to promoting continued sales
growth. Personnel and related expenses increased by $64,695, principally due to bonuses and higher
payroll taxes and medical costs. Marketing ($266,790) and sales ($46,793) expenses increased by
$313,583 principally due to increased marketing consulting fees related to hosting the
2nd Annual C-CLAD Symposium (approximately $171,000), attendance at trade shows and
various sales promotions. Sales and trade show expenses increased by $80,847, as the Company
increased field sales personnel and increased participation and presence at trade shows.
Additionally, field sales personnel and third party sales representative commissions increased by
$60,862 based on increased domestic sales of the STA Systems and related handpieces. Other variable
sales expenses for the STA System and handpieces increased in the second quarter of 2009 due to
higher royalty payments ($45,534). On the positive side of the ledger, professional accounting
services decreased by $7,221 in the second quarter of 2009 over the same period in 2008, due to
completion of the Sarbanes Oxley initiative and lower audit fees. There was a decrease in
consulting services of $36,125, a $19,487 savings in annual proxy costs (electronic filing, Notice
and Access System), a decrease in insurance expense of $13,410 and a reduction in warehouse expense
of $12,056.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were
$32,347 and $36,000, respectively.
The loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $611,423 and
$448,354, respectively. The $163,069, or 36%, increase in loss from operations is explained above.
Interest income of $742 was earned for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with
$1,471 for the same period in 2008. Interest income declined due to lower interest rates.
Interest expense was $37,986 and amortization of debt issuance was $7,875 relating to the line
of credit and long term note payable for the second quarter of 2009 compared to interest expense of
$18,668 and amortization of debt issuance expense of $7,567 for the same quarter in 2008. The
increase in interest expense $19,318 is due to the $450,000 long term note, initiated in the fourth
quarter of 2008 (as discussed in Note 5).
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was
$656,542 as compared to a net loss of $473,118 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The
$183,424, or 39%, increase in net loss is primarily a result of the increase in sales and gross
margin dollars, offset by one time increases in market consulting costs and a decrease in other
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $4,241,721 and $2,952,043,
respectively. Total revenues increased by $1,289,678 or 44%. Contributing to this increase was
STA unit sales of $1,257,068 and an increase in STA handpiece sales of $274,876. CompuDent unit
sales remained relatively unchanged and CompuDent handpiece sales decreased by $249,809.
Additionally, international revenue increased $313,036, or 30%, as compared to the 2008 period.
Domestic product revenue increased $999,812 in 2009, or 53%, as a result of a change in our
distribution business model, to a non-exclusive distributor base. This change was initiated in the
second quarter of 2008. Domestic disposable handpiece sales decreased $6,617 and international
disposable handpiece sales increased $59,129 or 8%.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2,462,430, or 58%, (net of
a write-down of returned defective merchandise of $36,066) and $1,893,682, or 64%, respectively.
Gross profit dollars in the first six months of 2009 increased by $568,748 due to an increase in
sales volume in 2009 over 2008. The gross profit percentage decrease was due principally to the
change in product mix with a substantially larger proportion of STA unit sales and the write down
of legacy returned defective merchandise in the six months of 2009 over the same period in 2008.
20
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
were $3,482,052 and $2,839,784, respectively. The increase of $642,268, or 22.6%, is primarily
attributable to an increase in several expense categories. Sales and marketing expense increased by
$392,653 for the period ending June 30, 2009. This increase was due to media and production
spending of media of $74,435; trade shows and travel expense of $141,164; and cost relating to the
C-CLAD Symposium and sales promotions of $160,412, offset by savings in employee relocation
$33,602. Commission expense increased by $108,181, representing $51,243 for Milestone field sales
representatives and $56,938 for third party sales representatives due to sales volume increases.
General and administrative expenses increased a net of $233,549. Expense increases in this category
were wages of $24,635, stock based compensation of $21,544, royalties of $80,502 (based on
increased STA unit sales), a business consultant study of $150,000, and an international business
consultants of $39,068. On a positive note, the Company reduced expenses for accounting costs by
$99,640 (audit, review and Sarbanes Oxley), $19,696 reduction in proxy costs (electronic filing,
Notice and Access System), reduced warehousing fees ($15,704) and reduced insurance costs
($25,527).
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $99,969
and $84,319, respectively.
Interest income of $2,547 was earned for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
$4,707 for the same period in 2008. The decrease of $2,160, or 45.9%, is the result of lower
interest rates.
Interest expense of $85,389 as of June 30, 2009 increased $35,798, or 72.2%, over the same
period in 2008. The increase in this expense is due to the $450,000 long term note that was
initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008. Amortization of debt issuance costs of $15,750 is
related to the long term debt outstanding as of June 30, 2009 (as discussed in Note 5).
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased
by $129,181, or 11.9%, over the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.
Working capital as of June 30, 2009 is negative $574,386. Current assets declined by $698,435
in all current asset categories (principally in cash, accounts receivable and advances to a
contract manufacturer) from December 31, 2008. Current liabilities increased by $1,408,639,
principally due to the classification of the $1.3 million line of credit, due June 30, 2010, as a
current liability at June 30, 2009. The line of credit was classified as a Long-term Liability as
of 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 (as discussed in Note 5). Other increases in current liabilities are
accounts payable for inventory purchases and a consultant business project. The Company is making
every effort to maintain a viable lower level of inventory and to keep control of operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $498,576 and working capital of
negative $574,386. The negative working capital is due to the classification of the $1.3 million
line of credit as a Current Liability as of June 30, 2009. 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 (as discussed in Note 5). Milestone incurred
net losses of $1,218,183 and $1,089,002 and negative cash flows from operating activities of
$195,391 and $589,053 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our net cash used in operating activities was
$195,391. This was attributable primarily to a net loss of $1,218,183 adjusted for noncash items of
$418,168, principally common stock and options issued for compensation and consulting services and
changes in operating assets and liabilities of $604,625.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Milestone used $74,698 in investing activities. This
was primarily attributable to $44,568 of legal fees related to new patent applications. The Company
had capital expenditures of $30,130, primarily for the purchase of trade show booths for the
purpose of showcasing the STA System.
21
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities
since its inception. The Company is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from
operating activities through an increase in revenue based upon managements assessment of present
contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. The Company, at June 30,
2009, expects to have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations through
December 31, 2009. If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from its operating
activities it will need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to achieve positive operating cash flows or that traditional capital can be raised on terms
and conditions satisfactory to the Company. If additional capital is required and cannot be raised,
then the Company would be forced to curtail its development activities, reduce marketing expenses
for existing dental products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might negatively
affect the Companys operating results.
The Companys recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by
this item.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Interim Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2009 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Interim
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
disclosure.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following factors may affect the growth and profitability of Milestone and should be
considered by any prospective purchaser or current holder of Milestones securities:
We have no history of profitable operations. Continuing losses could exhaust our capital resources
and force us to discontinue operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 our revenues were approximately $4.2 million
and $3.0 million, respectively. In addition, we have had losses for each year since the
commencement of operations, including net losses of approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $58.5 million. At June 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
$498,576 and working capital of a negative $574,386. Additionally, the Company secured a line of
credit in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million from a stockholder. This line of credit of $1.3
million is classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2009. 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 (as discussed in Note 5).
Additionally, the Company borrowed $450,000 in 2008 from the same shareholder, with a due date of
January 2009. This additional borrowing was refinanced at December 31, 2008 and the due date was
extended to June 30, 2012, as discussed in Note 5. The Company, at June 30, 2009, expects to have
sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations through December 31, 2009.
Additionally, the Company is actively pursuing the 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. If the Company is unable to generate
positive cash flows from its operating activities it will 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 can be raised on the terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company if at all.
If additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then the Company would be forced to
curtail its development activities, reduce marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt
other cost savings measures, any of which might negatively affect the Companys operating results.
The Companys recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern.
There are no other changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
