                   Milestone Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The unaudited interim financial statements of Milestone Scientific Inc.
      and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
      information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
      footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
      complete financial statements.

      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
      statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
      entries) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30,
      1997, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and
      cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively.

      The results reported for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected
      for a full year.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

      PRINCETON PMC

      In March 1996, the Company, entered into a shareholder's agreement to form
      Princeton PMC, a corporation, to engage in the marketing and sale of
      dental products. The Company contributed $85,000 for 200 shares of this
      entity representing a two-thirds ownership. Only the June 30, 1997
      Consolidated Financial Statements include the six month operating results
      of Princeton PMC.

      In November 1996, the Company purchased the remaining one-third of
      Princeton PMC's outstanding stock for 100 shares of its common stock. The
      acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The
      purchase price approximated the net tangible assets acquired.

      In connection with the acquisition of Princeton PMC, additional shares of
      common stock could be issued depending upon the Company's average earnings
      over the next two years as defined. The Company is obligated to issue
      159,900 shares of its common stock if certain income levels are achieved.
      The fair value of the common stock would be classified as compensation
      expense charged to the statement of operations.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS (continued)

      WISDOM

      In December 1996, the Company completed the purchase of Wisdom's
      outstanding stock by issuing 23,250 shares of its common stock valued at
      $110,437. The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of
      accounting. The cost was less than the subsidiary's net assets at the date
      of acquisition. The excess of net assets over cost has been applied to
      reduce the amounts assigned to noncurrent assets of the subsidiary. Only
      the June 30, 1997 Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating
      results of Wisdom.

      SPINTECH

      In November 1995, the Company completed the purchase of 65% of Spintech's
      outstanding stock on a fully diluted basis for $2,700,000. The Company
      paid $2,026,495, which represents the $2,700,000 less amounts advanced to
      Spintech amounting to $632,500 plus interest of $41,005. The acquisition
      has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of
      the aggregate purchase price over the net tangible assets acquired was
      allocated to patents and is being amortized over ten years. The operating
      results of Spintech have been included in the Company's consolidated
      financial statements since the date of acquisition. The minority interest
      has been valued at zero as of June 30, 1997.

      The Company also holds a series of annual options to purchase, for a
      nominal amount, an additional 3% of Spintech's outstanding shares
      following each of the first five fiscal years commencing after the closing
      of the stock purchase (or an aggregate of 15% of such shares if all of the
      options are exercised). Each option is exercisable only if Spintech does
      not achieve a specified pretax profit target as defined in the applicable
      fiscal year. As a result of Spintech not achieving the specified pretax
      profit in 1996, the Company exercised their option in 1997.

      In January 1997, the company offered to minority shareholders of Spintech
      to exchange 1 Spintech share for 15.27 shares of Milestone. This offer is
      for restricted shares. As of June 30, 1997, 525 shares of Spintech were
      converted, which together with the above exercise increased Milestone's
      ownership of Spintech to 69%. The value of the converted shares and
      associated legal costs are shown in patents, as a result of the value
      being in excess of the tangible net assets of Spintech.

NOTE 3 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

      In March 1997, the company sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of
      852,262 units at $4.72 per unit for net cash proceeds of $3,361,010, less
      non cash costs for shares issued in connection with the private placement
      of $1,042,183 for a net amount of $2,318,827. Each unit consisted of one
      share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant
      entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for three years
      from the closing of the offering at an exercise price of $4.72 per share.
      In addition, the placement agent received warrants to purchase 85,226
      units at $4.72 per unit.

NOTE 4 - LITIGATION

      On March 26, 1997, Milestone and Spintech commenced legal action in the
      United States District court of New Jersey against Ronald Spinello, DDS,
      Chairman and Director of Research of Spintech. In the complaint,
      plaintiffs seek recovery of compensatory and punitive damages in excess of
      $4,000,000 for extortion and tortious interference with existing and
      prospective contract and business relationships, a declaratory judgment
      that Dr. Spinello has no personal rights to certain technology developed
      while he was employed as Director of Research of Spintech relating to the
      design and production of ancillary components of its computer controlled
      local anesthetic delivery system, a declaratory judgment that plaintiffs
      have not breached Dr. Spinello's employment agreement or the agreement for
      the initial purchase by Milestone of a 65% equity interest in Spintech and
      injunctive relief. On May 21, 1997, Dr. Spinello filed an answer and
      counterclaim which denies the material allegations of the complaint and
      seeks recovery for breach of the defendant's employment agreement,
      initiates a derivative action against Milestone with respect to various
      expenditures and actions for which Defendant, on behalf of Spintech, seeks
      an amount in excess of $75,000, alleges civil conspiracy against Milestone
      with respect to certain of those matters and the entry into the employment
      agreement with Defendant and seeks indemnification for expenses, including
      attorneys fees, in the pending action. On May 25, 1997 the Company filed a
      reply to counterclaims which denied all of the material allegations of the
      counterclaims. Milestone has been advised by its patent counsel that all
      technology developed by Dr. Spinello while employed by Spintech is owned
      by Spintech. The Company believes that ownership of the technology
      relating to these ancillary components which are the subject of this
      litigation in no way prevents the manufacture and sale of its anesthetic
      delivery system at economically viable prices.

NOTE 4 - LITIGATION (continued)

      On May 20, 1997, Glenn R. Spinello filed a Complaint in the Court of
      Common Pleas, York County, Pennsylvania seeking damages as a result of the
      alleged breach of his Employment Agreement. On June 20, 1997, the company
      and Spintech filed a notice of Removal which transferred venue of Glenn
      Spinello's lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Middle
      District of Pennsylvania. On June 27, 1997, the Company and Spintech filed
      an Answer to Glenn Spinello's Complaint which denied the material
      allegations of the Complaint and asserted counterclaims based upon Glenn
      Spinello's breach of his Employment Agreement.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation

In March 1997, the company consummated a private placement (the "Private
Placement") of 852,262 units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and
one Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable at $4.72 per share through a
placement agent. The company received gross proceeds of $4,022,500 in the
Private Placement. The Private Placement was over subscribed and the company
accepted subscriptions for more than the maximum number of units offered.

      Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the Three Months Ended
      June 30, 1996

Statement of Operations

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold increased to $871,841 and $535,228 respectively
in 1997 from $33,027 and $20,502 in 1996, an increase of $838,814 and $514,726.
These increases are primarily due to the following factors:

      A)    The acquisition of Wisdom in December 1996. This has resulted in
            increased sales and cost of goods sold of approximately $580,000 and
            $393,000.

      B)    Launch of the "SplatrFree(TM)" product in March 1997 which has
            resulted in sales and cost of goods sold of approximately $74,000
            and $38,000.

      C)    Increased sales and cost of goods sold of SDS units (1996 sales were
            primarily TAPS units, which were replaced by the SDS units) which
            approximated $185,000 and $83,000. In addition, the Company entered
            into an exclusive distributorship agreement for distribution of its
            SDS products in June 1997. During the term of five months, both
            parties will attempt to negotiate a contract which will result in
            either, a sell off of the company's right, title and interest in the
            SDS products, longer term of exclusive distribution or non exclusive
            distribution arrangement. As a result of this agreement, all SDS
            products held in inventory were sold to the distributor in June
            1997, which approximated $200,000 in sales.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $1,324,788 in 1997
from $424,070 in 1996 an increase of $900,718. The increase is primarily due to
the following:

      A)    The acquisition of Wisdom in December 1996. This has resulted in
            increased expenses of approximately $560,000.

      B)    Marketing costs associated with the launch of the "SplatrFree(TM)"
            product.

      C)    Preparation for the launch of "The Wand(TM)".

Research and Development costs increased to $208,668 in 1997 from $25,975 in
1996, an increase of $182,693 reflecting increased costs to develop "The
Wand(TM)".

Net Interest increased to $28,972 in 1997 from $18,997 in 1996, an increase of
$9,975, primarily due to the private placement proceeds received in late March
1997.

respectively in 1997 from $107,385 and $73,028 in 1996 an increase of $1,527,179
and $933,373. These increases are primarily due to the following factors:

      A)    The acquisition of Wisdom in December 1996. This has resulted in
            increased sales and cost of goods sold of approximately $1,235,000
            and $803,000.

      B)    Launch of the "SplatrFree(TM)" product in March 1997 which has

            and $42,000.

      C)    Increased sales and cost of goods sold of SDS units (1996 sales were
            primarily TAPS units, which were replaced by the SDS units) which
            approximated $185,000 and $96,000. In addition, the Company entered
            into an exclusive distributorship agreement for distribution of its
            SDS products in June 1997. During the term of five months, both
            parties will attempt to negotiate a contract which will result in
            either, a sell off of the company's right, title and interest in the

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $2,253,506 in 1997
from $840,259 in 1996 an increase of $1,413,247. The increase is primarily due
to the following:

      A)    The acquisition of Wisdom in December 1996, which has resulted in
            increased expenses of approximately $891,000.

      B)    Marketing costs associated with the launch of the "SplatrFree(TM)"
            product.

      C)    Preparation for the launch of "The Wand(TM)".

Research and Development costs increased to $273,721 in 1997 from $63,773 in
1996, an increase of $209,948 reflecting increased costs to develop "The
Wand(TM)".

Net Interest decreased to $32,565 in 1997 from $42,711 in 1996, a decrease of
$10,146, primarily a result of the increase in the line of credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1997, the Company's working Capital was $2,533,659, primarily
reflecting the net cash proceeds of $3,361,010 from the private placement. The
company intends to use the funds for development engineering, tooling, marketing
and other expenses associated with the introduction of "The Wand(TM)",
development of other products and general corporate purposes including working
capital.

      On March 26, 1997, Milestone and Spintech commenced legal action in the
      United States District court of New Jersey against Ronald Spinello, DDS,
      Chairman and Director of Research of Spintech. In the complaint,
      plaintiffs seek recovery of compensatory and punitive damages in excess of
      $4,000,000 for extortion and tortious interference with existing and
      prospective contract and business relationships, a declaratory judgment
      that Dr. Spinello has no personal rights to certain technology developed
      while he was employed as Director of Research of Spintech relating to the
      design and production of ancillary components of its computer controlled
      local anesthetic delivery system, a declaratory judgment that plaintiffs
      have not breached Dr. Spinello's employment agreement or the agreement for
      the initial purchase by Milestone of a 65% equity interest in Spintech and
      injunctive relief. On May 21, 1997, Dr. Spinello filed an answer and
      counterclaim which denies the material allegations of the complaint and
      seeks recovery for breach of the defendant's employment agreement,
      initiates a derivative action against Milestone with respect to various
      expenditures and actions for which Defendant, on behalf of Spintech, seeks
      an amount in excess of $75,000, alleges civil conspiracy against Milestone
      with respect to certain of those matters and the entry into the employment
      agreement with Defendant and seeks indemnification for expenses, including
      attorneys fees, in the pending action. On May 25, 1997 the Company filed a
      reply to counterclaims which denied all of the material allegations of the
      counterclaims. Milestone has been advised by its patent counsel that all
      technology developed by Dr. Spinello while employed by Spintech is owned
      by Spintech. The Company believes that ownership of the technology
      relating to these ancillary components which are the subject of this
      litigation in no way prevents the manufacture and sale of its anesthetic
      delivery system at economically viable prices.

      On May 20, 1997, Glenn R. Spinello filed a Complaint in the Court of
      Common Pleas, York County, Pennsylvania seeking damages as a result of the
      alleged breach of his Employment Agreement. On June 20, 1997, the company
      and Spintech filed a notice of Removal which transferred venue of Glenn
      Spinello's lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Middle
      District of Pennsylvania. On June 27, 1997, the Company and Spintech filed
      an Answer to Glenn Spinello's Complaint which denied the material
      allegations of the Complaint and asserted counterclaims based upon Glenn
      Spinello's breach of his Employment Agreement.
