MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(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 Scientific Inc. 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, 2007 included in Milestone’s Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited financial statements are the
same as those described in the December 31, 2007 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
The results reported for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 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 $1,275,735 and $2,585,823 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents and working capital of $286,020 and $1,342,830, respectively. Additionally, as
discussed in Note 5, on June 28, 2007, the Company secured a revolving line of credit in the
aggregate amount of $1,000,000 from a stockholder which line was fully borrowed at December 31,
2007. The Line of Credit was increased by $300,000 to $1,300,000 as of September 30, 2008. All
terms and conditions remain unchanged. The Company borrowed $200,000 from the stockholder noted
above in July 2008. The borrowing requires a one percent fee at the date of borrowing and an
interest rate of six percent per annum, payable at the maturity of the note. The note is due in
January 2009 and such amount is included as a current liability in the financial statements at
September 30, 2008. 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; however, the Company does
not now have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations for the next
twelve months. However, the internal sales growth targets have been achieved for the first nine
months of this year and it is anticipated that the future sales growth targets will be achieved. If
the future sales growth targets are not achieved, then the Company would be forced to curtail its
development activities, reduce marketing expenses for existing dental products and/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.
Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $250,000 from the shareholder
noted above with terms and the maturity date the same as the $200,000 noted borrowed in July 2008.
Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company acquired additional patent rights with respect to
painless anesthetic injections — specifically rights related to controlling the flow rate or
pressure used in providing these injections — through
8
Table of Contents
the issuance of 260,000 shares of restricted
common stock. In connection with this acquisition, Milestone terminated its
Declaratory Judgment action against Dr. Hodosh related to claimed infringements of his patent
rights and Dr. Hodosh agreed to terminate his existing infringement action against the Company.
NOTE — 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Milestone considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a 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 and 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 customer’s 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 is 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 September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This new standard
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does
not require any new fair value measurements but provides guidance in determining fair value
measurements presently used in the preparation of financial statements. This new standard is
9
Table of Contents
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This
Standard was adopted as of January 1, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on Milestone’s
results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.159, “The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities —Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115”. SFAS No.159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS No.159 is effective as of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15,
2007. This Standard was adopted as of January 1, 2008, and did not have any impact on Milestone’s
results of operations or financial position.
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. Milestone is considering the impact of this Statement on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. Milestone is considering the impact of this
Statement on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 entity’s 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 would not currently impact the financial
statements of Milestone Scientific.
In March 2008, the FASB, affirmed the consensus of FASB Staff Position (FSP) Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 14-1 (APB 14-1), Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled
in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), 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 issuer’s 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. Milestone is considering the impact of this Statement on its
financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for
Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — an interpretation of FASB N0.60. 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 would not currently impact the financial statements of Milestone
Scientific.
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
10

common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as
those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and the conversion of preferred stock
were issued during the period.
Since Milestone had net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the
assumed effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the
calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding options and warrants
totaled 3,537,079 at September 30, 2008 and 3,298,413 at September 30, 2007.
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 September 30, 2008, and changes
during the nine months ended is presented below:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 was $0.88. 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 three years, volatility of 353% and a risk free interest rate of 2.88%. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, Milestone recognized $81,492 of total
compensation cost related to options that vested during the period. As of September 30, 2008, there
was $130,700 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options which Milestone
expects to recognize over a weighted average period of one and one half years.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Milestone’s common stock over a period
commensurate with expected 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.
As of September 30, 2008, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s stock was less than the exercise
price of the options, therefore there is no aggregate intrinsic value calculated.
A summary of option activity for non-employees under the plans as of September 30, 2008 and changes
during the nine months ended is presented below:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Milestone recognized $38,216 of expenses related
to non-employee options that vested during the year. The total unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested options was $73,035 as of September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s stock was less than the exercised
price of the options, therefore, there was no aggregate intrinsic value calculated.
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 Emerging Issues Task Force
(“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 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 and 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 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 $842,000 with the vendor for
purchase of materials at September 30, 2008. 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 September 30, 2008.
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 September 30, 2008.
NOTE — 5 LINE OF CREDIT
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
5 days written notice to you 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
12
Table of Contents
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. 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 September
30, 2008 the remaining balance of Debt Discount was $65,325. The full amount of the line of credit
and amendment, $1.3 million, has been drawn at September 30, 2008. Interest expense on this Line of
Credit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is $23,863 and $73,455, respectively.
Accrued interest related to this line of credit was $6,000 and $4,000 at September 30 ,2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. Additionally, the charge for amortization of Debt Discount related
to this Line of Credit is $21,622 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.
The Company borrowed an additional $200,000 from the stockholder noted above in July 2008. The
borrowing requires a one percent fee at the date of borrowing and an interest rate of six percent
per annum, payable at the maturity of the note. The note is due in January 2009 and is included as
a current liability in the financial statements at September 30, 2008.
Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $250,000 from the shareholder
noted above with the same terms and maturity date as the $200,000 Note from in July 2008.
NOTE — 6 STOCK ISSUANCE
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 413,636 shares valued at
$548,845 to three vendors owed in connection with advertising, warehousing and exhibition
facilities and two outside professional organizations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company agreed to issue 260,000 shares of restricted common
stock for the acquisition of certain patent rights and the resolution of litigation. See Subsequent
Events Note.
NOTE — 7 SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Milestone had net product sales to two customers (distributors) which in the aggregate accounted
for approximately 67% and 84% of revenue for three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and 77% and 74% of revenue for nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Milestone had sales to one customer (a worldwide distributor of Milestone’s products
based in South Africa) of $916,714 (19%) for the nine months and $335,238 (18%) for the three
months ended September 30, 2008. Accounts receivable from these two customers amounted to $504,567
and $390,666 representing 68% and 79% of gross accounts receivable as of September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively.

In January 2007, Milestone finalized an Exclusive Distribution
and Supply Agreement with Henry Schein, Inc. Henry Schein, Inc.
serving as the exclusive distributor of STA and CompuDent systems
(and ancillary products) in both North America and Canada, for a one
year period. The exclusive period has expired and the Company has
entered alternative marketing and distribution agreements.
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 a manufacturing agreement with one of the principal
manufacturers of our handpieces pursuant to which they manufacture products under specific purchase
orders but without minimum purchase commitments. 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 is manufactured for Milestone in Mexico pursuant to scheduled
production requirements. The Wand Handpiece with Needle is supplied to Milestone by the licensee of
Milestone’s proprietary consumer dental whitening product, which 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.
Other Commitments
Milestone acquired the technology underlying our CoolBlue Professional Whitening and Ionic White
Consumer Whitening Products. Under the terms of a licensing agreement with a third party
manufacturer, we will receive licensing fees resulting from the sales of the consumer whitening
product. Through December 31, 2006, Milestone paid royalties in connection with the tooth whitening
products to a purported holder of patent rights therein. Late in 2006 Milestone
received a copy of a patent office filing which appeared to show that the purported owner had
relinquished rights to the patent on which royalties had been paid. It is possible that,
never-the-less, the purported owner may claim continuing rights to receive royalties or that others
may claim that payments are owed in connection with Milestone’s prior sales. Milestone has
continued to accrue royalties due, $20,565 as of September 30, 2008, but has ceased making cash
payments. In 2007, Milestone stopped the sale of this product in the United States and has written
off the cost of patents relating to this product.
Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets.
Milestone recorded a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $2,741 and $232,259 for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2,255 and $232,259 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The loss on disposal of fixed assets in 2007 represents
the write off of net book value of tooling and other assets originally purchased for the cool blue,
whitening, safety wand and other products. The amounts noted above are included in the selling,
general administrative expenses.
NOTE — 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company borrowed an additional $250,000 from a stockholder in October 2008. The borrowings
agreement requires a one percent fee at the date of borrowing and an interest rate of six percent
per annum, payable at the maturity of the note. The note is due in January 2009.

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company acquired additional patent rights with respect
to painless anesthetic injections — specifically rights related to controlling the flow rate or
pressure used in providing these injections — through the issuance of 260,000 shares of restricted
common stock. In connection with this acquisition, Milestone terminated its Declaratory Judgment
action against Dr. Hodosh related to claimed infringements of his patent rights and Dr. Hodosh
agreed to terminate his existing infringement action against the Company.

ITEM 2. Management’s 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
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in our Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Through strict expense discipline and the implementation of key operational initiatives during
the first nine months of 2008, the Company was able to make considerable progress with its efforts
to achieve two primary strategic business goals for the year:
| • | 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 System; and | ||
| • | Identifying and pursuing strategic collaborations with third parties to jointly develop new products utilizing our CompuFlo pressure force technology for innovative new dental and medical applications. |
In order to succeed in achieving these goals, it is essential that we have the best people
possible. In January of 2008, Joseph D’Agostino joined Milestone as our Chief Financial Officer,
bringing our Company the skill, talent and experience that are necessary to help us grow and meet
critical business plan objectives. Following a nine month performance assessment by the Board of
Directors, Mr. D’Agostino was officially named Milestone’s Chief Financial Officer in October of
this year.
The addition of Joseph D’Agostino to the senior management team has served to strongly
complement the hiring of Robert Presutti, who joined Milestone as Vice President of Sales and
Marketing in September 2007. The Board of Directors installed Joe Martin as our new CEO and
Director in December 2007. Joe served as an executive of Bayer for 13 years.
The new leadership team has devoted a great deal of energy and focus on improving all areas of
operations. Milestone has succeeded in cutting its total operating expenses by 24%, from
$5,457,473 to $4,158,637, in the first nine months of this year compared to the same nine-month
period in 2007. Additionally, the operating losses have been reduced from $2,592,701 to
$1,187,137. During the first nine months of this year product inventories were reduced by almost
50%, from $1,636,744 to $845,297. During the same period, accounts payables have been reduced by
55%, from $1,855,835 to $828,374. However, our debt increased by $500,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008.
New Messaging Platform
Milestone has continued to leverage the product and market intelligence we derived from
in-depth customer and dental industry surveying that we conducted in late 2007. The insight gained
from these studies led management to define and implement a comprehensive new messaging platform
for the STA System created to emphasize key benefits that Milestone has discovered is of most value
to dental professionals. This refined product messaging was launched in January 2008.
Based on the fact that Milestone continues to achieve its month-over-month revenue and cash
flow objectives in keeping with management’s plan of execution and long term growth strategy, the
Company believes its refined product
16
Table of Contents
positioning will continue to resonate with dental
professionals worldwide, helping to generate increasingly robust sales within our independent
distributor network.
Industry Recognition
A key 2008 event for Milestone was the first International C-CLAD Summit we hosted in New
Orleans this past February, where many of the dental industry’s most prominent and respected
authorities assembled to review, discuss and explore opportunities for the STA System. A
publication summarizing the Summit’s proceedings was issued in early June 2008. Specifically,
there was consensus among panel participants agreeing that use of the STA System provides the best
way to administer a Palatal Injection and Intraligamentary Injection; agreement that the STA is the
instrument of choice to minimize pain disruptive behavior; and unanimous agreement that the STA
System should become “the standard of care for administering anesthesia by dental practitioners.”
In April 2008, the STA System was recognized as a winner of the 2008 Medical Design Excellence
Award in the Dental Instruments, Equipment and Supplies product category. Of the 33 products that
received an Excellence Award this year, Milestone’s STA System was one of only two winning products
that serve the dental community. This honor followed the STA System being named in July 2007 as
one of the Top 100 Products of the Year by Dentistry Today, one of the dental industry’s most
respected and widely read publications.
Domestic Dental Distribution Network
In the second quarter of this year, we turned our attention to expanding Milestone’s global
network of dental distributors, with a goal of increasing market awareness and promoting stronger
sales growth of the STA System.
On the domestic front, the Company elected to forego renewing the exclusive marketing and
distribution agreement originally signed in early 2007 with Henry Schein, Inc., the largest
distributor of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North
American and European markets. Rather, the Company granted Schein non-exclusive distribution
rights to both markets to sell the STA System and related disposable hand pieces to dental
professionals in the United States and Canada; and in June of this year, welcomed Patterson Dental
Supply as a non-exclusive distributor, as well. Patterson has the largest direct sales force in the
industry, totaling approximately 1,400 sales representatives and equipment/software specialists
addressing the needs of the United States and Canadian dental markets.
On July 16, 2008, Milestone announced that leading independent dental supply companies —
Benco Dental, Burkhart Dental, Inc., and Goetze Dental — also joined the Company’s growing
domestic distribution network under non-exclusive agreements.
Founded in 1930, Benco is the largest independently owned dental supply company in the U.S.,
and one of the nation’s fastest growing dental distributors. Burkhard Dental has thrived and
prospered as a family owned and managed dental supply company for 120 years, now serving over 5,000
dental customers in the Western U.S. from offices in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, California,
Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington. Originally established in 1884 as the St. Joseph Drug Company,
Goetze Dental has also endured as a family-owned and managed independent dental supplier for five
generations. Currently, the Company markets a broad range of leading dental products and services
to a customer base comprised of more than 10,000 dental professionals operating primarily in nine
U.S. Midwestern states.
In August 2008, Milestone added Atlanta Dental Supply to its U.S. distribution network.
Atlanta Dental is an industry leading employee-owned dental supply and services company based in
Duluth, Georgia that has been serving the U.S. Southeast dental community for 140 years.
We are now actively engaged in training and providing ongoing sales and marketing support to
more than 2,450 independent sales representatives serving the U.S. and Canadian markets. As of
September 30, 2008, Milestone had completed initial training of approximately 50% of Patterson’s
national sales force, as well as a majority of the representatives employed by Benco, Burkhard and
Goetze. Training of Atlanta Dental reps commenced in the fourth quarter of 2008.
International Dental Distribution Network

Table of Contents
In June, the Company granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights to two foreign
distributors — Istrodent Pty Ltd AB, a leading distributor serving the Southern Africa dental
market; and Unident AB, who is now advocating sales of
the STA System to dentists in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and
Iceland. Both companies have proven to be among Milestone’s strongest marketing allies outside of
the U.S., achieving notable sales performance in their respective regions while supporting our
historical worldwide marketing efforts for The Wand.
At the FDI Annual World Dental Congress held in Sweden in late September, Unident formally
introduced the STA System to the European dental community and enjoyed a strong, favorable response
from show attendees.
For the remainder of the year, the Company will continue to focus on expanding Milestone’s
worldwide sales and marketing resources to accelerate STA System sales momentum around the world.
Particular emphasis will be on establishing defined distribution channels in Canada and South
America. Moreover, we will continue reinforcing and supporting our growing global independent sales
and distribution network through training, Milestone-sponsored advertising and marketing campaigns,
trade show participation and creative sales incentive programs.
New Product Development and Commercialization
In keeping with the Company’s stated 2008 goal for leveraging our patented CompuFlo technology
in new medical applications, Milestone’s management team has also continued to identify and pursue
opportunities to form strategic collaborations in the areas of self-administered drug delivery,
arthritic joint pain management and epidurals.
In November 2007, we entered into a collaborative agreement with a globally diversified
healthcare company to conduct a feasibility study evaluating the potential application of our
CompuFlo technology for injecting certain medicaments produced by this leading company. We have
successfully completed the initial study and are now hoping to leverage its findings to progress
strategic partnering and product development opportunities with them.
As we progress through to year end, Milestone will maintain our pursuit of CompuFlo-based
product development prospects that are deemed the most promising and commercially viable, and offer
the greatest potential for allowing us to fully realize our product development and
commercialization ambitions.

The Company earned gross profits of $1,077,817 and $2,971,500 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008, respectively. However, our revenues and related gross profits have not
been sufficient to support our overhead,
18
Table of Contents
new product introduction and research and development
expenses. Although the Company anticipates expending funds for research and development in 2008,
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; however the Company does not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its
anticipated obligations for the next twelve months.
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 deferred contingent payments of 2.5% of our total sales of
CompDent 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 is 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.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to our domestic
distributor 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,
19
Table of Contents
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 is recognized as earned based on reports received from the licensee and related
royalty expense is accrued during the same period.
Results of Operations
The consolidated results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2008 compared to the same three month and nine month period in 2007 reflect our focus and
development on the STA System delivery system, as well continuing efforts on the 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 September 30, 2008 compared to three months ended September 30, 2007
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1,818,215 (product
sales of $1,813,103 and royalty income of $5,112) and $1,163,445 (product sales of $1,134,468 and
royalty income of $28,977), respectively. The total increase in product sales of $678,635, 60%, is
a direct result of the continued implementation of the new sales distribution model that began in
the second quarter of 2008. The increase in sales volume of domestic units by $253,401, or 225% in
2008 over 2007, was due to the expansion of our distributor network. In the domestic market,
handpiece sales increased by $397,115, ($306,216 increase in CompuDent sales, $90,899 increase in
STA) or 73%. On the international scene, unit sales decreased in the third quarter of 2008 over
2007 by $53,541 principally due to the decrease
in CompuDent units ($103,297). STA unit sales internationally increased by $49,756 or 68%.
Internationally, handpiece sales increased. The increase in handpiece sales internationally was
$74,726, 27% due to increased sales of CompuDent ($61,289) and STA ($13,437) handpieces.
Royalty income resulted from granting United Systems Inc. a license to manufacture, market,
and sublicense the Ionic White™ to the consumer market. Royalty income for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was $5,112 and $28,977. The decrease of $23,865 or 82 %
reflected increased retail competition in this increasingly highly competitive market.
Cost of products sold for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $740,398
and $631,584 respectively. The $108,814 increase in product cost, or 17% is primarily
attributable to an increase in sales volume.
20
Table of Contents
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, Milestone’s gross profit increased by 102% over
the same three month period in 2007, due to product mix, with higher handpiece sales. For the three
month period ending September 30, 2008, Milestone generated a gross profit of $1,077,817 or 59% as
compared to a gross profit of $533,536 or 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The
total dollar increase in gross profit was $544,281 in 2008. Additionally, included in reduced gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a write-down of slow
moving inventory in the aggregate of $112,300. Excluding the write down of slow moving inventory,
the gross margin would have been 56% for the three months ended September 31, 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007 were $1,199,353 and $1,465,493 respectively. The $266,140, or 18 %, net decrease spanned
several key areas of the Company. Marketing expense decreased in 2008 by net $37,000, with an
increase of $36,000 in advertising media placement in 2008, offset by a reduction in the 2007 STA
launch program of $69,000. General expenses decreased by $257,000, primarily due to a 2007
write-off of molds and tooling ($233,000), that did not occur in 2008. Professional fees
(accounting and legal) decreased by $69,000, offset by various increases in several expense items.
The Company completed the documentation and testing phase of the system of Internal Control in the
first quarter of 2008. Sales expenses increased by $31,535, due to an increase in commissions to an
outside sales representative of $114,000, offset by lower commissions to sales personnel and other
lower expenses in this category. Salaries for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were
relatively consistent as compared to the same period in 2007.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were
$35,181 and $45,574, respectively. The decrease of $10,393 was attributable to a reduction in such
cost in 2008 after the launch of the STA product in the first quarter of 2007.
The loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $156,717
and $977,531, respectively. The $820,814 or 84% decrease in loss from operations is explained
above.
Interest expense was $23,863 and amortization of debt issuance was $7,926, relating to the
line of credit established in June 2007. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was
$186,733 as compared to a net loss of $981,788 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The
$795,055, or 81 %, decrease in net loss is primarily a result of a significant increase in gross
margin dollars and a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Working capital as of September 30, 2008 was $1,342,830, a decrease of $144,793 as compared to
June 30, 2008. Current assets declined by $226,139 (principally in inventory and advances to a
contract manufacturer, offset by an increase in accounts receivable). Current liabilities decreased
by $81,346, principally by reducing extended termed accounts payable by payment, offset by an
increase of $200,000 in Note Payable- Short Term borrowing, see Note 5.
Nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $4,770,258 and
$5,279,579 respectively. Total revenues decreased by $509,321 or 10%. Contributing to this
decrease was STA unit sales of
$608,040 and an increase in STA handpiece sales of $181,821. CompuDent unit sales decreased by
$203,858 and CompuDent handpiece sales increased $368,618. International revenue increased $334,298
or 28% as compared to the comparable 2007 period. Domestic product revenue decreased $759,152 in
2008 (19%) caused by an inventory buy in by our then exclusive distributor in 2007. The new
Distributor Distribution Model initiated in the second quarter of 2008 has modified the purchasing
system by our distributors. Distributors are purchasing to fulfill their sales to their customers
on a routine basis. Domestic disposable handpiece sales increased by 339,555 or 15% and
international disposable handpiece sales increased $210,884 or 24%. The amount of $28,282 is
royalty income from granting United Systems Inc. a license to manufacture market and sublicense the
Ionic White product to the consumer market. Royalty income declined $84,465 or 75% reflecting
retail competition in this increasingly highly competitive market.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2,971,500 or 62% and
$2,864,772 or 54%, respectively. Gross profit dollars in the nine months of 2008 period was
increased by $106,728 due to the lack of
21
Table of Contents
an inventory write-down in 2008 as compared to 2007. In
the period ending September 30, 2007 the Company recorded an inventory write-down aggregating
$112,300.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007 were $4,039,137 and $5,111,935 respectively. The decrease of $1,072,798, or 21%, crossed
essentially all business departments. The following discussion highlights the major areas of
savings in 2008 (nine months ended) as compared to the same period in 2007. Marketing expense
decreased by $171,000 due the reduction in the initial STA launch expense in 2007 ($259,000),
offset by increased media advertising ($101,000) focused on refining the Company’s messaging
platform for the STA in 2008. General expenses decreased by $920,000 principally in the areas of
reduced professional fees ($340,000) based on in house acceptance of certain tasks and lower legal
fees. Employment recruiting fees have been reduced by $76,000 due to direct advertising for open
positions; bank fees are lower by $43,000, due to our change in business model to a direct
distributor business model. Bad debt expense is lower by $69,000, based on lower write-offs of
accounts receivable and the Company did not have a loss on disposal of molds and tooling for
certain tooth whitening products in 2008 as it did in 2007 ($233,000). Sales expense in 2008
increased by $54,000, principally due to the expense of utilizing an outside sales representative.
Salaries for the nine months ended September 2008 increased by $134,000 due the increase of several
new positions that did not exist in the same nine month period in 2007.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were
$119,500 and $345,538 respectively. The decreased costs are primarily associated with the
development of our STA delivery system product launch in 2007, which is a now complete and
continuing effort on the CompuFlo™ technology.
Interest income of $6,479 was earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to $12,477 for the same period in 2007. The decrease of $5,998 or 48% is the result of lower
interest rates and lower available excess and invested cash.
Interest expense for 2008 of $73,455 and amortization of debt issuance of $21,622 related to
the Line of Credit established in June 2007. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements
For the reasons explained above, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by $1,310,088 or 51% over the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30,
2007.
Working capital as of September 30, 2008 was $1,342,830, a decrease of $690,162 as compared to
December 31, 2007. Current assets declined by $1,339,486 (principally in cash, accounts receivable,
inventory and advances to contract manufacturer). Current liabilities decreased by $649,324,
principally by reducing extended termed accounts payable ($1,027,461) by payment, offset by a new
Note Payable-Short Term borrowing of $200,000, see Note 5. Long term accounts payable ($443,847)
was extinguished through the issuance of common stock in the first quarter of 2008. The source of
funds to reduce the accounts payable was through the borrowing by the Company on a Line of Credit;
see Note 5 to the Financial Statements. Long termed liabilities increased to $1,300,000 in the
third quarter of 2008, as a result of the Company receiving an additional borrowing on the Line of
Credit from a shareholder; see Note 5 to the Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $286,020 and working capital of
$1,342,830. The working capital decreased by $690,162 from December 31, 2007. Net current assets
decreased by approximately $1.3 million, principally in cash, inventories and advances to contract
manufacturer, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $397,416. Current liabilities
decreased by net $649,324, principally by a reduction in accounts payable of $1,027,461 offset by
an increase in Notes Payable — Short Term of $200,000 (Note 5). The reduction in cash was
attributable to the pay down of accounts payable in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The
Company has taken positive steps to reduce inventory levels and will continue this effort in the
future. Milestone incurred net losses of $1,275,735 and $2,585,823 and negative cash flows from
operating activities of $693,166 and $1,412,387 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was
$693,166. This was attributable primarily to a net loss of $1,275,735 adjusted for noncash items of
$428,365, and changes in operating assets
22
Table of Contents
and liabilities of $154,206. The increase in noncash
items is principally common stock and options issued for employee compensation, consulting and
vendor services.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Milestone used $265,819 in investing activities,
primarily attributable to legal fees related to payment for patent rights.
As of September 30, 2008, Milestone recorded on the Balance Sheet a $1.3 million Line of Credit
from a stockholder. The full credit line was utilized at September 30, 2008. The Company borrowed
$200,000 from the stockholder noted above in July 2008. The borrowings require a one percent fee at
the date of borrowing and an interest rate of six percent per annum, payable at the maturity of the
note. The note is due in January 2009 and such amount is included as a current liability in the
financial statements at September 30, 2008. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed
an additional $250,000 from the shareholder noted above with terms and maturity the same as the
$200,000 Note borrowed in July 2008.
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 based upon management’s assessment of present
contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses; however, the Company does
not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations for the next twelve
months. However, the internal sales growth targets have been achieved for the first nine months of
this year and it is anticipated that future sales growth targets will be achieved. If the future
sales growth targets are not achieved, 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 adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Reference is made to Item 2 of Part I of this quarterly report. “Management Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation-Forward Looking Statements”.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30,
2008 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 SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter
that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance, that
the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other
inherent limitations, on control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving the stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 2008, Milestone announced that it acquired additional patent rights with respect to
painless anesthetic injections — specifically rights related to the flow rate or pressure used in
providing these injections — through the issuance of 260,000 shares of restricted common stock. In
connection with this acquisition, Milestone also agreed to terminate its Declaratory Judgment
action against Dr. Milton Hodosh related to claim infringements of his patent rights and Dr. Hodosh
agreed to terminate his existing infringement action against the Milestone. Each party is
responsible for their own legal fees.
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 securities:
We have no history of profitable operations. Continuing losses could exhaust our capital resources
and force us to discontinue operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 our revenues were approximately $4.8 million
and $5.3 million respectively. In addition, we have had losses for each year since the
commencement of operations, including net losses of approximately $1,275,735 and $2,585,823 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2008, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $57.3 million. At September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents $286,020 and working capital of $1,342,830. Additionally, the Company secured a
Line of Credit in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million from a stockholder as of September 30, 2008,
as discussed in Note 5. The Company borrowed $200,000 from the stockholder noted above in July
2008. The borrowings require a one percent fee at the date of borrowing and an interest rate of six
percent per annum, payable at the maturity of the note. The note is due in January 2009 and such
amount is included as a current liability in the financial statements at September 30, 2008. In
October 2008, subsequent to the Financial Statement date, the Company borrowed an additional
$250,000 from the stockholder above. The terms and maturity date of this borrowing is identical to
the $200,000 borrowing in July 2008. The Company is 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;
however, the Company does not now have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated
obligations for the next 12 months. However, the internal sales growth targets have been achieved
for the first nine months of this year and it is anticipated that the future sales growth targets
will be achieved. If the future sales growth targets are not achieved, then the Company would be
forced to curtail its development activities, reduce marketing expenses for existing dental
products and/or adopt other cost savings measures , any of which might negatively affect the
Company’s operating results.
The Company’s 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-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
