                   Milestone Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1998

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 March
      31, 1998, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
      and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998.

      The results reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are
      not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be
      expected for a full year.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

      The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires the
      presentation of basic earnings per share and, for companies with complex
      capital structures or potentially dilutive securities, such as convertible
      debt, options, and warrants, diluted earnings per share.

      Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average
      number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are
      computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding after giving
      effect to potential common stock from stock options based on the treasury
      stock method, plus any other potentially dilutive securities outstanding,
      such as the convertible subordinated notes. If the result of assumed
      conversions is dilutive, net earnings are adjusted for interest expense on
      the convertible subordinated notes, while the average share of common
      stock outstanding are increased.

      For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the assumed exercise of certain
      dilutive options and warrants did not have a significant impact on the
      basic earnings per share and accordingly, basic and diluted earnings per
      share of $.04 are presented in the accompanying financial statements.

      Options and warrants, in aggregate, to purchase 157,000 shares of common
      stock at prices ranging from $21.25 to $23 per share were issued during
      the quarter ended March 31, 1998 but were not included in the computation
      of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater
      than the average market price of the common shares.

      During the quarter ended March 31, 1998 warrants to purchase 131,722
      shares of common stock were exercised at prices ranging from $4.72 to $9
      for which the company realized proceeds of $1,042,277.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operation

        Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the Three Months Ended
        March 31, 1997.

Statement of Operations

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold increased to $5,260,149 and $2,681,891
respectively in 1998 from $760,123 and $471,572 in 1997 an increase of
$4,500,026 and $2,210,319. These increases are primarily due to the sales of The
Wand(TM) (a computer controlled "painless" injection system).

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $2,259,491 in 1998
from $924,511 in 1997 an increase of $1,334,980. The increase is primarily due
to costs associated with The Wand(TM), including sales commissions of $357,000,
an increase in marketing costs of approximately $390,000 and other increases
including salaries and overhead. Legal fees increased by approximately $120,000
as a result of the Spinello dispute and complying with general regulatory
requirements. In addition, an expense of $94,805 was incurred as a result of a
noncash exercise of warrants.

Research and Development costs increased to $130,167 in 1997 from $65,654 in
1997, an increase of $64,513 reflecting increased costs to develop "The
Wand(TM)".

Net Interest income increased to $169,479 from $3,592 in 1997, an increase of
$165,887 primarily as a result of investing the net proceeds of two private
placements completed during 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1998, the Company's working Capital was $15,690,209, primarily
reflecting the net cash proceeds from the September private placement and from
the exercise of warrants. In 1998, the company received proceeds of $1,042,284
from the exercise of warrants.

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.
