FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect Milestone Scientific’s future plans of operations, business strategy, results of operations and financial condition. Milestone Scientific wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements pursuant to the safe harbor established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Milestone Scientific’s plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of its business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of Milestone Scientific. Although Milestone Scientific believes that its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate. Considering the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, our history of operating losses that are expected to continue, requiring additional funding which we may be unable to raise capital when needed (which may force us to delay, curtail or eliminate commercialization efforts of our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System), the early stage operations of and relative lack of acceptance of our medical products, relying exclusively on two third parties to manufacture our products, changes to our distribution arrangements exposes us to risks of interruption of marketing efforts and building new marketing channels, changes in our informal manufacturing arrangements made by the manufacturer of our products and disruptions at the manufacturing facility of our manufacturers, including shortages of or delays in obtaining chips and other components, exposes us to risks that may harm our business, raising additional funds by issuing securities or through licensing or lending arrangements may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights, if physicians do not accept or use our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System, our ability to generate revenue from sales will be materially impaired, exposure to the risks inherent in international sales and operations, including China, the changing tariff and trade policies of the United States and China, and developments by competitors may render our products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by Milestone Scientific or any other person that the objectives and plans of Milestone Scientific will be achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and the actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements because of various factors. Except as required by the federal securities laws, Milestone Scientific undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
All references in this report to “Milestone Scientific,” “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “Milestone” refer to Milestone Scientific Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries, Wand Dental, Inc., and Milestone Innovations Inc. and Milestone Education LLC (all described below), unless the context otherwise indicates. Milestone Scientific is the owner of the following registered U.S. trademarks: CompuDent®; CompuMed®; CompuFlo®; DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology®; Milestone Scientific®; the Milestone logo®; SafetyWand®; STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System®; and The Wand®.
Milestone Scientific was incorporated in the State of Delaware in* August 1989.Milestone Scientific has developed a proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery device, usingThe Wand*®, a single use disposable handpiece. The device is marketed in dentistry under the trademarksCompuDent®* andSTA Single Tooth Anesthesia System*®, and in medicine under the trademarkCompuMed®. CompuDent® is suitable for all dental procedures that require local anesthetic.CompuMed® is suitable for many medical procedures regularly performed in plastic surgery, hair restoration surgery, podiatry, colorectal surgery, dermatology, orthopedics, and many other disciplines. The dental devices are sold in the United States, Canada and in 41 other countries. Certain medical devices have obtained CE mark approval and can be marketed and sold in most European countries. In** June 2017,** Milestone Scientific received510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on theCompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System (“Epidural”).
NOTE2--GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements.
The Company has incurred total losses since inception of $130.0 million. The Company’s operating losses were approximately $2.0 million and $1.5 million, for thethree months ended* March 31 2025and2024,* respectively. On* March 31, 2025,Milestone Scientific had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.2 million and working capital of approximately $4.2 million. For thethree* months ended* March 31, 2025and2024,* we had cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has developed and is implementing plans to increase revenues and decrease professional and consulting fees over the nexttwelve months. The Company has also decided to delay all research and development on the Single Tooth Anesthesia System next generation instrument. The Company believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents along with management plans, and the $800,000 in related party note financing received in* April 2025 (See Note11* and13) will be sufficient to enable the Company to fund operations for thetwelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through an increase in revenue from its dental business worldwide, the generation of revenue from its medical devices and disposables business in the United States and worldwide, and a reduction in operating expenses. However, the Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources until it achieves profitability, if ever.

NOTE3 —** SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
1. ** Principles of Consolidation**
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) include the accounts of Milestone Scientific and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including, Wand Dental (wholly owned), and Milestone Innovations Inc. (wholly owned). All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Losses attributed to noncontrolling interests are reported separately in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Milestone Scientific have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information with the instructions for Form10-Q and Article8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they donot include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to fairly present such interim results. Interim results arenot necessarily indicative of the results of operations which* maybe expected for a full year or any subsequent period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024,included in Milestone Scientific's Annual Report on Form10*-K.
3. Reclassifications
Certain reclassification has been made to the2024 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the2025 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation. In presenting interest income and expense on the unaudited consolidated statement of operations interest income is offset by the interest expense. These reclassifications hadno effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.
4. Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 inventory valuation, and cash flow assumptions regarding evaluations of going concern considerations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
5. ** Revenue Recognition**
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To perform revenue recognition, the Company performs the followingfive steps:
| i. | identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; |
|---|---|
| ii. | determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; |
| iii. | measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; |
| iv. | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and |
| v. | recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. |
The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its products, primarily dental and medical instruments, handpieces, and other related products. The Company sells its products directly to consumers in the United States and through a global distribution network that includes both exclusive and non-exclusive distribution agreements international.
Revenue is recognized at the point of shipment for all sales. The Company hasno obligation to product sales for any installation, set-up, or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific's only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period.
9
E-Commerce
The Company sells its STA Single Tooth Anesthesia Systems® (STA) and handpieces directly to dental offices and dental groups within the United States via an online portal. The Company's E-Commerce portal accepts online payments via credit and debit cards. The cost of delivery is charged to the customer along with appropriate sales tax. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time the product ships to a customer via athird party carrier.
Sales Returns
The Company records allowances for product returns as a reduction of revenue at the time product sales are recorded. Several factors are considered in determining whether an allowance for product returns is required, including the customers’ return rights and the Company’s historical experience with returns and the amount of product in the distribution channelnot consumed by end users and subject to return. The Company relies on historical return rates to estimate returns.
Financing and Payment
The Company's payment terms differ by geography and customer, but payments from distributors are required within90 days or less from the date of shipment. The E-Commerce portal sells directly to end users and accepts online payments via credit and debit cards via athird-party. These payments from thethird party are typically settled withintwo business days.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company operates intwo operating segments: Dental, and Medical. The Company evaluates each oftwo segments based on performance, using segment financial information compiled utilizing the accounting policies listed in Note9 of this Form10-Q.
The profitability of the segment helps the Company evaluate staffing levels, assess available cash for allocation to projects and resources, and make informed decisions on whether the segment's activities should be modified to align with the Company’s overall near- and long-term strategies. See Note9 for revenues by geographical market, based on the customer’s location, and product category for thethree months ended* March 31, 2025,and2024* respectively.
6. ** Cash and Cash Equivalents**
Milestone Scientific considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity ofthree months or less to be cash equivalents. As of* March 31, 2025and December 31, 2024,Milestone Scientific has approximately $2.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025,Milestone Scientific had cash, and cash equivalents in accounts that exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of$250,000.*
7. ** Accounts Receivable**
The E-commerce portal sells directly to end users and accepts online payments via credit and debit cards via athird-party credit card processor. These payments are settled within2 business days of the transactions. Sales to distributors are on credit terms. The Company estimates losses from the ability or inability of its distributor to make payments on amounts billed.
Distributors credit sales are due90 days or less from the date of invoicing. As of* March 31, 2025and December 31, 2024,accounts receivable was recorded, net of allowance for credit losses of$10,000,* respectively.
8. ** Inventories**
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower cost (first-in,first-out method) or net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess, slow moving, defective, and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales, potential technological obsolescence, and product expiration requirements.
The valuation allowance creates a new cost basis for the inventory, and it isnot subsequently marked up through a reduction in the valuation allowance based on any changes in the underlying facts and circumstances. When the valuation allowance is initially recorded, the increase to the allowance is recognized as an increase in cost of sales. The valuation allowance is only reduced if or when the underlying inventory is sold or destroyed, at which time cost of sales recognized would include the previous adjusted cost basis.
10
9. ** Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share**
Milestone Scientific 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 ASC260, “Earnings per Share”. 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 common shares as follows:81,854,512 and 79,738,551 for thethree months ended* March 31, 2025and2024,* respectively. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is like 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 Scientific had net losses in thethree months ended* March 31, 2025and2024,* the assumed effects of the exercise of potentially dilutive outstanding stock options, unissued restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and warrants, werenot included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding options, RSA's and warrants totaled 3,242,906 and 3,296,480 for thethree months ended* March 31, 2025and2024,* respectively.
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In* November 2024,*** the Financial Accounting Standards Board, “FASB”, issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU”2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40), to improve the disaggregation of expenses within the consolidated statement of operations. The amendments in ASU2024-03 require disclosures, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity disclose (a) employee compensation, (b) depreciation, and (c) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption; include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; and disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that arenot separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendments in ASU2024-03 are effective* January 1, 2027,and effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028.Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that havenot* yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will evaluate the impact of ASU2024-03 on its financial statements.
In* December 2023,FASB issued ASU2023*-09,** Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU2023-09 provide improvements primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information included in income tax disclosures. The Company would be required to disclose additional information regarding reconciling items equal to or greater thanfive percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory tax rate. Similarly, the Company would be required to disclose income taxes paid (net of refunds received) equal to or greater thanfive percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Additionally, the Company would be required to disclose income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated by foreign and domestic jurisdictions, as well as income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions.

| ● | As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the lease payments. The Company has utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the long-term borrowing costs of comparable companies in the Medical Device industry. |
| ● | Since the Company elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single combined lease component, all contract consideration was allocated to the combined lease component. |
| ● | The expected lease terms include non-cancellable lease periods. Renewal option periods are not included in the determination of the lease terms as they were not reasonably certain to be exercised. |
