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 Company leased additional office space in June 2009 and moved its headquarters to 45 Knightsbridge Road in Piscataway, New Jersey.

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 Milestone’s 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 Milestone’s financial position as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations for the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008.

The results reported for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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~~$1,591,454 and ~~$1,089,002~~$1,275,735 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At ~~June~~September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$498,576~~$497,455 and negative working capital of ~~$574,386.~~$406,968. The working capital is negative by the inclusion in current liabilities as of ~~June~~September 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~~September 30, 2009. Additionally, the Company borrowed $450,000 in 2008 from the same shareholder, with aan original 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~~September 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 management’s 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 Company’s operating results.

The Company’s 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~~its facilities. There can be no assurance that ~~our~~its program of patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to ~~our~~its facilities will be sufficient to protect ~~our~~its proprietary technology.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to ~~our~~the Company’s domestic distributors on the date of arrival of the goods at the customer’s location as shipments are FOB destination. Shipments to ~~our~~the Company’s international distributors are FOB ~~our~~Milestone’s 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~~the Company has 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~~The Company’s 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

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (“SFAS 168”), “Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all references made by it to GAAP in its consolidated financial statements now use the new Codification numbering system. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, it is not having an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

FASB ASC Topic 350-30-65-2, formerly, Emerging ~~Issues~~Issue Task Force ~~(“EITF”) Issue No.~~(EIFT) 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.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 balances to conform to the presentation used in 2009. These ~~reclassification~~reclassifications 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).~~FASB ASC Topic 260. 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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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~~1,316,997 at ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and ~~3,535,412~~3,537,079 at ~~June~~September 30, 2008. The major reduction in the total outstanding options and warrants is due to the expiration of ~~2,182,946 of~~2,227,946 warrants in the first and second quarter of 2009. Outstanding warrants totaled 175,000 at ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2,357,946 at September 30, 2008.

Additionally, the Company has an existing Line of Credit and related accrued interest that is convertible into 5,594,613 share of common stock at its option by June 30, ~~2008.~~2010.

NOTE — 3 STOCK OPTION PLANS

~~Effective January 1, 2006, Milestone adopted SFAS No. 123R,~~FASB ASC Topic 505, “Share-Based ~~Payment~~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~~Topic 505 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 stock option plans as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009, and changes during the ~~six~~nine months ended is presented below:

Exercisable, September 30, 2009											464,330			1.40		2.37		45,433

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 was ~~$0.46.~~$0.69. 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 of five years, volatility of ~~301%~~227% and a risk free interest rate of ~~1.20%~~1.580%. 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~~nine and three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2009,~~2009. Milestone recognized ~~$46,222~~$54,244 and $8,022, respectively, of total compensation cost related to options that vested during the period. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2009, there was ~~$99,819~~$180,006 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.

The expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Milestone’s common stock over a period commensurate with the 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.

A summary of option activity for non-employees under the stock option plans as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009, and changes during the ~~six~~nine months ended is presented below:

During the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, Milestone recognized ~~$62,136~~$12,835 and $74,970, respectively, 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~~$22,428 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009.

In accordance with the provisions of ~~SFAS No.123R,~~FASB ASC 505-50-15, 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

Milestone’s 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 ofCompuDent. As part of this agreement, Milestone has a remaining advance of approximately ~~$525,685~~$473,195 with the vendor for purchase of materials at ~~June~~September 30, 2009. The advance will be ~~credited to Milestone~~reduced 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~~September 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~~September 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 year’s 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 Milestone’s 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 Company’s 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~~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~~September 30, 2009, the remaining balance of Debt Discount was ~~$36,152.~~$28,976. The full amount of the line of credit and amendment, $1.3 million, had been drawn at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. As of ~~June~~September 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 attached, 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~~September 30, 2009, the discount was ~~$12,555.~~$11,856.

Interest expense on this line of credit and note payable for the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 ~~is $85,389~~was $30,230 and ~~$49,592,~~$115,619, respectively, and $23,863 and $73,455, respectively. Accrued interest related to this line of credit and note payable was ~~$179,056~~$207,868 at ~~June~~September 30, 2009. The charge for amortization of debt discount related to this line of credit and note payable ~~is $15,750~~was $23,625 and ~~$13,696~~$21,622 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE — 6 STOCK ISSUANCE

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, the Company issued ~~137,297~~502,660 shares of common stock valued at ~~$66,000 in connection with public relations and consulting expenses.~~$482,500 to pay off outstanding accounts payable at December 31, 2008. Additionally, ~~284,592~~397,154 shares of common stock valued at ~~$137,825~~$247,825 were issued for payment of employee compensation and 333,333 shares were sold for $150,000, which is recorded as stock subscription receivable. The stock subscription receivable is reduced by offsetting inventory purchased in the third and fourth quarter of 2009. The 45,454 shares of common stock valued at $25,000 are to be issued in settlement of deferred compensation.

Included in the amount above are shares issued to the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (84,783 shares) at a value of $97,500 in advance of services performed per her employment agreement. Additionally, a consultant to the Company was issued 173,913 shares valued at $200,000 in advance of the performance of his services over a three year period. Of this $200,000, $66,672 is included in the prepaid expenses as current assets and $127,772 is included in other non-current assets on the condensed Balance Sheet. Such amounts will be amortized to expense over the contract period.

In January 2007, Milestone finalized an Exclusive Distribution and Supply Agreement with Henry Schein, Inc. Henry Schein, Inc. served as the exclusive distributor ofSTAandCompuDentsystems (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 ofSTAandCompuDentsystems (and ancillary products) in ~~the United States and Canada.~~North America. That same month, the Company also signed Patterson Dental Supply as an additional non-exclusive partner to promote sales of ~~our~~the Company’s products in ~~the United States and Canada.~~North America. Early in the third quarter of 2008, the Company added four more non-exclusive distributors to ~~our~~its 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~~nine months of 2009, welcoming Darby Dental Supply, Dental Health Products, Nashville Dental and Parkway Dental.

Milestone has also focused on expanding its global distribution network, granting exclusive rights to market, distribute and sell its products in certain key geographic markets around the world. In June 2008, the Company named Istrodent Pty Ltd AB as exclusive distributor of theSTA System(and ancillary products) in South Africa, and Unident AB as its exclusive distributor in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. In April 2009, Milestone awarded exclusive distribution and marketing rights to China National Medicines Corporation, d/b/a Sinopharm, for theSTA System(and ancillary products).

As of July 1, 2009, Milestone established a direct path to its international distributors’ networks. 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 nine 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 has established an alternate source of supply for our handpieces in China and other alternate sources of supply exist.the quarter ending September 30, 2009.

NOTE — 8 COMMITMENTS AND OTHER

Contract Manufacturing Arrangement

Milestone has informal arrangements for the manufacture of its products.CompuDent, STAandCompuMedunits are manufactured for Milestone by Tricor Systems, Inc. pursuant to specific purchase orders.The Wanddisposable ~~handpiece~~hand piece without a needle is manufactured for Milestone in Mexico pursuant to scheduled production requirements.The WandandSTA~~handpieces~~hand pieces (with and without needles) isare 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 Milestone’s 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

AsSubsequent to the end of ~~July 1,~~the third quarter, Milestone received a blanket purchase order from Sinopharm for 12,000STA Systems, deliverable of the next 36 months.

STA System Awards — Industry Recognition

Since its market introduction in the spring of 2007, theSTA Systemhas received rave reviews and awards from the dental industry. In July 2007, noted industry publicationDentistry Today featured theSTA Systemas one of the “Top 100 Products in 2007,” helping to promote much broader recognition of the instrument and validating theSTA System’s value proposition for dentists and patients alike. In April 2008,Medical Device & Diagnostic Industrymagazine distinguished theSTA Systemas 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, theSTA Systemwas one of only two winning products that serve dental practitioners.

In December 2008, theSTA Systemwas again recognized as one of the dental industry’s best technological innovations, winning a “Townie Choice Award” fromDentaltown Magazinein the category “Anesthetics: Technique System”. This marked the second consecutive year that Milestone won a “Townie Choice Award” —; in 2007, ~~the Company~~we won the same award for ~~its~~ourCompuDent/The Wand.Also in December 2008, ~~Milestone’s~~ ourSTA Systemwas named as aDental Products Report“Top 100 2008 Product of ~~Distinction.~~Distinction”. Each year,DPRspotlights the year’s Top 100 products. Of these 100 products, 50 are the ones most often inquired about byDPR’s 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 byDPR’seditorial staff for their “perceived impact on driving innovation or helping to establish a new, higher standard of care for patients.” TheSTA Systemwas 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 winningSTA Systemhas also been gaining the support of many of the world’s 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~~we can integrate theSTA Systemnot only into dental school curricula, but also extend messaging regarding its many unique benefits to the dental community and patients alike.

1516

On May ~~1-3,~~1 through 3, 2009, ~~Milestone~~we hosted the 2^ndSecond International 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 year’s Symposium covered a broad range of C-CLAD-related topics including:

The History of C-CLAD

Treating with Connection

Heart Rate Study

•

STACompassionate Care in the 21^st Century

Injection Advances and Challenges

Physiologic and Clinical Characteristics of PDL Anesthesia Delivered by a High Pressure ~~Handpiece~~Hand piece and a Computerized Device

~~In October 2009, Milestone expects~~We expect 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, theSTA System,a prior computerized controlled local anesthesia delivery product,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 theSTA Systemis proving to be a valuable and beneficial instrument that is positively impacting the practice of dentistry worldwide. The utility and value of theSTA Systemis perhaps best summarized by Dr. Joe Blaes, who wrote in the December 2008 edition ofDental Economics, “I tried theSTA Systemand my patients absolutely love it. This is a no brainer — go get one ASAP!”

Global Distribution Network

TheSTA Systemand related ~~handpieces~~hand pieces are marketed to the dental industry in the United States and Canada by many of the nation’s 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 theSTA Systemand related ~~handpieces~~hand pieces to dentists throughout ~~the United States and Canada.~~North America.

On the global front, we also have granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights for theSTA Systemto select dental suppliers in various international ~~regions.~~regions in Asia, Africa and Europe. They include Istrodent in South Africa and Unident in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.

In ~~May~~April 2009, ~~the Company~~we signed an Exclusive Distribution and Marketing Agreement with China National Medicines Corporation, d/b/a Sinopharm, which is China’s largest domestic manufacturer, distributor and marketer of pharmaceuticals and importer of medical devices and the country’s largest domestic distributor of dental anesthetic carpules to the Chinese dental industry.

Shortly before the end of the second quarter, ~~Milestone~~we announced that ~~it was~~we were refining ~~its~~our international marketing strategy to gain greater access to and penetration of the international dental markets for theSTA System, CompuDentand related disposable hand pieces. The new sales strategy provides for increasing hands-on oversight and support of ~~Milestone’s~~our 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 ~~Milestone’s~~our strongest marketing allies outside of the U.S., as ~~its~~our new ~~international sales director.~~International Sales Director. In collaboration with senior management, Mr. Koren will help manage product sales for ~~the Company~~us in all ~~non-domestic~~ markets ~~worldwide.~~outside of North America.

1617

As a result of growing market awareness and appreciation of theSTA System, coupled with our active worldwide marketing efforts, sales of the instrument (and related ~~handpieces)~~hand pieces) yielded four consecutive quarters of growth in 2008. In the first ~~six~~nine months of this year, we saw no indication that this trend is slowing or reversing. Sales of theSTA Systemand related ~~handpieces~~recurring sales from disposable hand pieces helped increase total revenues by ~~$1,496,058~~$1,380,726 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, when compared to the same ~~six~~nine month period in the prior year.

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~~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.~~delivery.

1718

In keeping with our stated goal for leveraging ~~Milestone’s~~our patentedCompuFlotechnology in new medical applications, ~~Milestone’s~~our 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 ~~Milestone’s~~our proprietary technology with whom ~~Milestone has~~we have engaged in meaningful teaming discussions has continued to be encouraging. Throughout 2008, ~~the Company~~we have met with healthcare companies who expressed interest in potential applications of theCompuFlotechnology. As ~~Milestone progresses~~we progress through 2009, the Company ~~will maintain~~maintains its pursuit ofCompuFlo-based product development prospects that are deemed the most promising and commercially viable, and offer the greatest potential for allowing ~~Milestone~~us 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~~Leonard Osser, temporarily assumed the post of ~~Interim~~ Chief Executive ~~Officer and will remain as such until a suitable replacement has been identified and appointed by~~Officer. However, on September 1, 2009, Leslie Bernhard, an independent member of our Board of ~~Directors.~~Directors, was named Chairman, succeeding Mr. Osser who had led the Company as its Chairman since 1991. Mr. Osser now serves as our Chief Executive Officer.

Technology Rights

The technology underlying ourSafetyWandandCompuFlotechnology and an improvement to the controls forCompuDentwere 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 ofCompuDentand Wand Plus units using some of these technologies, and 5% of our total sales ofSTA units and ~~handpieces~~hand pieces 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.

Intellectual Property

In August 2009, we were issued a Notice of Allowance by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its U.S. patent application directed to the use of its disposable hand piece for fluid administration. Our award-winning hand piece is an instrument currently utilized in conjunction with the Company’sSTA,CompuDentandCompuMedsystems.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2009, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance for our U.S. patent application, titled “Computer Controlled Drug Delivery System with Dynamic Pressure Sensing.” This intellectual property represents one of the key technological components of our product development strategy relating to the development of advanced computer-controlled injection products for specific applications in the medical industry — most notably intra-articular injections and epidurals.

To date, we have been awarded a total of 23 U.S. utility and design patents relating to our Computer-Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery (C-CLAD) technologies.

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~~we estimate 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~~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.

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 customer’s 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~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 compared to the same ~~six~~three and nine month period in 2008 reflect our focus and development on theSTA System, as well as ~~the Company~~our continuing efforts on identifying collaborative partners for new product development utilizing ourCompuFlotechnology.

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~~September 30, 2009 compared to three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2008

Total revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$2,036,902~~$1,909,263 and ~~$1,549,890,~~$1,818,215, respectively. The total increase in product sales of ~~$496,019,~~$96,160, or ~~32%~~5%, in 2009 over 2008 is primarily the result of the continuedSTAproduct sales growth. DomesticSTAunit sales ~~increased $569,457~~decreased $75,333 in 2009 over 2008. This ~~notable increase is due to~~decrease represented a slower sell through of the ~~change in our distributor business model, initiated in~~STA Systemduring the ~~second quarter~~summer 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.~~this year. In the domestic market, ~~handpiece~~hand piece sales were lower, decreasing by ~~$138,746~~$77,105 or ~~14%~~8.2%. On the international front, unit sales increased in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009 over 2008 by ~~$132,702,~~$115,088, or ~~85%~~87%, principally due to increased market penetration for theSTA System. Internationally, ~~handpieces decreased~~hand pieces increased by ~~$55,009,~~$152,706, or ~~14%~~43% due to ~~a lower~~an increased demand. Our international business is an area of growth potential for us.

Cost of products sold for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$862,741~~$709,003 and ~~$594,437,~~$740,398 respectively. The ~~$268,304,~~$31,395, or ~~45%~~4%, ~~increase~~decrease is primarily attributable to ~~an increase~~a change in sales ~~volume and a write-down of returned legacy defective merchandise of $36,066 in 2009.~~mix.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, ~~Milestone~~we generated a gross profit of ~~$1,174,161,~~$1,200,260, or ~~58%~~63%, as compared to a gross profit of ~~$955,453,~~$1,077,817, or ~~62%~~59%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 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~~$122,443 is due to an increase in sales ~~volume.~~dollar volume attributable to a change in our international sales process. Effective July 1, 2009, we began selling our products directly to international distributors. As a result of this change, we recorded a higher selling price of the product to our international distributor and pay a commission to our former master international distributor based on our agreement. This commission for the quarter is $117,790 and is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the third quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$1,753,237~~$1,477,948 and ~~$1,367,807,~~$1,199,353, respectively. The ~~$385,430,~~$278,595, or ~~28%~~23%, ~~net~~ increase is described in the following sections of this paragraph. Although ~~the Company continues~~we continue to ~~reduce~~focus on reducing expenses, the 2009 ~~second~~third quarter increase was due to higher expenses relating to promoting continued sales ~~growth.~~growth and increased consulting expenses. Personnel and related expenses remained relatively unchanged. Marketing ($133,053) and sales ($195,430) 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 2~~^nd ~~Annual C-CLAD Symposium (approximately $171,000),~~ attendance at trade shows and various sales promotions. Sales and trade show expenses increased by ~~$80,847,~~$18,798, as ~~the Company increased field sales personnel and increased~~we increase participation and presence at trade shows. Additionally, ~~field~~international sales ~~personnel and~~commission increased by $117,790 due to a change in our international sales agreement with our former master international distributor, while our third party sales representative commissions ~~increased by $60,862~~decreased based on ~~increased~~decreased domestic sales of theSTA Systems~~and related handpieces.~~. Other variable sales expenses for theSTA Systemand ~~handpieces~~hand pieces increased in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009 due to higher royalty payments ($~~45,534)~~75,058). On the positive side of the ledger, professional ~~accounting~~ services decreased by ~~$7,221~~$20,715 in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009 over the same period in ~~2008, due to completion of the Sarbanes Oxley initiative and lower audit fees.

However, there was a ~~decrease~~significant increase in consulting services of ~~$36,125, a $19,487 savings~~$201,284 in ~~annual proxy costs (electronic filing, Notice and Access System), a decrease~~the third quarter of 2009, paid in ~~insurance expense of $13,410 and a reduction~~stock, to professionals that have assisted in ~~warehouse expense of $12,056.~~our continuous growth.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$32,347~~$57,972 and ~~$36,000,~~$35,181, respectively. This increase is due to expenses related to new prototype equipment in the medical field.

The loss from operations for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 was ~~$611,423~~$335,660 and ~~$448,354,~~$156,717, respectively. The ~~$163,069, or 36%,~~$178,943 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~~$30,230 and amortization of debt issuance ~~was $7,875~~ relating to the line of credit and long term note payable was $7,875 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009 compared to interest expense of ~~$18,668~~$23,863 and amortization of debt issuance expense of ~~$7,567~~$7,926 for the same quarter in 2008. The increase in interest expense ~~$19,318~~of $6,367 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~~September 30, 2009 was ~~$656,542~~$373,270 as compared to a net loss of ~~$473,118~~$186,733 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2008. The ~~$183,424, or 39%,~~$186,537 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~~and sales costs and ~~a decrease~~an increase in consulting and other selling, general and administrative expenses.

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2008

Total revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$4,241,721~~$6,150,984 and ~~$2,952,043,~~$4,770,258, respectively. Total revenues increased by ~~$1,289,678~~$1,380,726 or ~~44%~~29%. Contributing to this increase wasSTAunit sales of ~~$1,257,068~~$1,268,728 and an increase inSTA~~handpiece~~hand piece sales of ~~$274,876.~~$434,451.CompuDentunit sales remained relatively unchanged andCompuDent~~handpiece~~hand piece sales decreased by ~~$249,809. Additionally, international~~$333,782. The breakdown of the change is as follows. International revenue increased ~~$313,036,~~$580,386, or ~~30%~~38%, as compared to the 2008 period. Domestic product revenue increased ~~$999,812~~by $828,622 in 2009, or ~~53%~~26%, 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~~hand piece sales decreased ~~$6,617~~$83,721 and international disposable ~~handpiece~~hand piece sales increased ~~$59,129~~$211,834 or 8%19%. International unit sales increased by $369,534 or 87% for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Our international business continues to be a substantial growth area for us.

Gross profit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 was ~~$2,462,430,~~$3,662,690, or ~~58%~~60%, (net of a write-down of returned defective merchandise of $36,066) and ~~$1,893,682,~~$2,971,500 or ~~64%~~62%, respectively. Gross profit dollars ~~in the first six months of 2009~~ increased by ~~$568,748~~$691,190 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 ofSTAunit sales and the write down of legacy returned defective merchandise in the ~~six~~nine months of 2009 over the same period in 2008. A portion of the increase in gross profit dollars ($117,790) is due to an increase in sales volume attributable to a change in how we record international sales. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company began selling our products directly to international distributors. As a result of this change, the Company records a higher selling price of the product to our international distributor and pays a commission to our former master international distributor based on our agreement. This commission is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$3,482,052~~$4,960,000 and ~~$2,839,784,~~$4,039,137, respectively. The increase of ~~$642,268,~~$920,863, or ~~22.6%~~23%, is primarily attributable to an increase in several expense categories. Sales and marketing expense increased by ~~$392,653~~$614,654 for the period ending ~~June~~September 30, 2009. This increase was due to media and production spending of ~~media of $74,435;~~$145,281; trade shows and travel expense of ~~$141,164;~~$162,977; and cost relating to the C-CLAD Symposium, Key Opinion Leaders and sales promotions of ~~$160,412,~~$187,560, offset by savings in employee relocation ~~$33,602.~~of $23,869 and printing cost of $46,102. Commission expense increased by ~~$108,181, representing $51,243 for Milestone field sales representatives and $56,938~~$49,703 for third party sales representatives due to sales volume ~~increases.~~increases and by $117,790 for international sales commissions (effective July 1, 2009). General and administrative expenses increased a net of ~~$233,549.~~$306,209. Expense increases in this category were ~~wages~~consulting expenses of ~~$24,635,~~$108,103 paid in stock ~~based compensation~~to professionals that have assisted in the growth of ~~$21,544,~~the Company, patent annuity expenses of $39,970, royalties of ~~$80,502~~$155,560 (based on increasedSTAunit and hand piece sales), a business consultant study of $150,000, and an international business ~~consultants~~consultant of $39,068. On a positive note, ~~the Company~~we reduced expenses for accounting costs by ~~$99,640~~$97,397 (audit, review and ~~Sarbanes Oxley)~~Sarbanes-Oxley), ~~$19,696 reduction in~~ proxy costs by $23,516 (electronic filing, Notice and Access System), ~~reduced~~ warehousing fees ~~($15,704)~~by $21,206 and reduced insurance costs ~~($25,527).~~by $29,531.

Research and development expenses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 were ~~$99,969~~$157,941 and ~~$84,319,~~$119,500, respectively.

Interest ~~income~~expense totaled $115,619 as of ~~$2,547 was earned for the six months ended June~~September 30, 2009, ~~compared to $4,707 for the same period in 2008. The decrease~~an increase of ~~$2,160,~~$42,164, 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%~~57%, 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~~$23,625 is related to the long term debt outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009 (as discussed in Note 5).

For the reasons explained above, net loss for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 of $1,591,454 increased by ~~$129,181,~~$315,719 or ~~11.9%~~25%, over the net loss for the ~~six~~nine month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2008.

Working capital as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009 is negative ~~$574,386.~~$406,968. Current assets declined by ~~$698,435~~$573,145 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,~~$1,366,511, principally due to the classification of the $1.3 million line of credit, due June 30, 2010, as a current liability at ~~June~~September 30, 2009. The line of credit was classified as a ~~Long-term Liability~~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~~us 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~~We are 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~~September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$498,576~~$497,455 and working capital of negative ~~$574,386.~~$406,968 The negative working capital is due to the classification of the $1.3 million line of credit as a ~~Current Liability~~current liability as of ~~June~~September 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~~us in cash or, at its option, in shares of common stock (as discussed in Note 5). ~~Milestone~~We incurred net losses of ~~$1,218,183~~$1,591,454 and ~~$1,089,002~~$1,275,735 and negative cash flows from operating activities of ~~$195,391~~$157,948 and ~~$589,053~~$693,164 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Our working capital at September 30, 2009 was a negative $406,968 compared to a positive working capital of $1,532,688 as of December 31, 2008. The significant reduction in working capital as of September 30, 2009 is due to the classification of the $1.3 million line of credit classified as a current liability at September 30, 2009 as compared to a classification as a long term liability at December 31, 2008. All borrowings and interest thereon must be repaid by June 30, 2010 and may be repaid by us in cash or at our option in shares of common stock. Current assets decreased by $573,145, principally due to a decrease in cash by $246,210 and accounts receivable by $424,862. Inventory and stock subscription receivable increased by $281,239. Current liabilities increased by $1,366,511, principally due to the classification of the line of credit. We continue to strive to maintain a reasonable level of inventory and to keep control of operating cost.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $497,455 as compared to $498,576 as of June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,121. Our working capital on June 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2009 improved by $167,418. This continued effort is well under way to provide a cash flow neutral position in the future.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, our net cash used in operating activities was ~~$195,391.~~$157,948. This was attributable primarily to a net loss of ~~$1,218,183~~$1,591,454 adjusted for noncash items of ~~$418,168,~~$905,869, which was comprised principally of common stock and options issued for compensation and consulting services and changes in operating assets and liabilities of ~~$604,625.~~$527,637.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, ~~Milestone~~we used ~~$74,698~~$113,262 in investing activities. This was primarily attributable to ~~$44,568~~$76,986 of legal fees related to new patent applications. ~~The Company had~~We have capital expenditures of ~~$30,130,~~$36,276, primarily for the purchase of trade show booths for the purpose of showcasing theSTA System.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received $25,000 in financing activities.

~~The Company has~~We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. ~~The Company is~~We are actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through an increase in revenue based upon management’s assessment of present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses.

ITEM 1A.		~~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 ~~Milestone’s~~our securities:

We have no history of profitable operations. Continuing losses could exhaust our capital resources and force us to discontinue operations.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008 our revenues were approximately ~~$4.2~~$6.2 million and ~~$3.0~~$4.8 million, respectively. In addition, we have had losses for each year since the commencement of operations, including net losses of approximately ~~$1.2~~$1.7 million and ~~$1.1~~$1.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At ~~June~~September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately ~~$58.5~~$58.9 million. At ~~June~~September 30, 2009, ~~the Company~~we had cash and cash equivalents ~~$498,576~~$497,455 and working capital of a negative ~~$574,386.~~$406,968. Additionally, ~~the Company~~we 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~~September 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~~us 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 aan original 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~~At September 30, 2009, ~~expects~~we expect to have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations through December 31, 2009. Additionally, ~~the Company is~~we are actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through increases in revenues based upon management’s assessment of present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. If ~~the Company is~~we are unable to generate positive cash flows from its operating activities it will need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that ~~the Company~~we 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~~us if at all. If additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then ~~the Company~~we 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 ~~Company’s~~our operating results.

~~The Company’s~~Our 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.
