                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are
"forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management
for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current
expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans
and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued
expansion of 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 the
Company. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, particularly in view of the Company's early stage operations, the

General

      The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells equipment and
related disposable or consumable items and other products for use primarily by
the dental practitioner. Company products focus on practitioner efficiency,
patient comfort, and infection control. The Company's principal product is the
The Wand(R), (a computer controlled "painless" injection system enabling the
practitioner to more quickly and effectively anesthetize patients in certain
dental applications), which the Company introduced at the Fall 1997 American
Dental Association Trade Show. The Company began selling equipment units of The
Wand(R) and an initial supply of disposables in January 1998. The Wand(R)
originally was sold in the U.S. and Canada through major distributors of dental
products. A toll free number was established in January 1999, allowing dentists
to buy the product directly from the Company.

      In October 1999, the Company launched its new disposable handpiece, The
Wand(R) Plus. The product reduced aspiration time from 14 to 5 seconds. In
conjunction with the launch of The Wand(R) Plus handpiece, the Company severed
the U.S. dealer distribution channel and began selling its product directly to
dentists throughout the U.S. The dealer distribution channel in Canada was not
affected until March 2000, when the Company signed a distribution agreement with
order minimums with Synca, a Canadian corporation.

      In January 1999, the Company received authorization to apply the CE mark
to The Wand(R). This is a requirement for all dental and medical devices
distributed throughout the European Union. In September 1999, the authorization
was extended to include medical use of The Wand(R). Furthermore, in February
1999, the Company entered an agreement for the international distribution of The
Wand(R). In January 2000, the Company terminated its international distribution
agreement and entered a new international distribution agreements, giving its
products entry into Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Israel, South Africa,
Scandinavia, while retaining its presence in China and Taiwan. In June,
Milestone entered distribution agreements for South and Central America,
including Mexico.

      In January 2001, Milestone entered into a three-year private equity line
of credit agreement with Hillgreen Investments Limited ("Hillgreen"), a British
Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which Hillgreen is obligated to
purchase, subject to the fulfillment of specified conditions, up to 2.1 million
shares of Milestone common stock, par value $.001 per share, (the "Common
Stock") over the next 36 months. Hillgreen has allocated up to $20 million to
fund its purchase obligations. The transaction was arranged by Jesup & Lamont
Securities Corporation, a New York-based investment banking firm. Milestone's
right to draw upon this facility is subject to a number of limitations and
conditions, including a limitation on the amounts sold to Hillgreen within
specified periods and the effectiveness of a resale registration statement
covering the securities to be purchased. Subject to these and other conditions
and limitations, Milestone will have full control over the timing of any
financing under the equity line and is under no obligation to sell any shares to
Hillgreen. Any shares that are sold will be priced at 87.5% of the volume
weighted average market price of Milestone Common Stock during a fixed period
prior to the sale. Milestone has discretion to establish a floor price below
which shares will not be sold to Hillgreen. The availability of this equity line
allows the Company to finance operations and move forward in developing its
medical product line.


                                       4

      The Company also markets and sells (i)SplatrFree(TM) disposable prophy
angles and (ii) Luer Lock needles. Both currently are sold domestically,
directly to our dental customers.

      The Company was organized in August 1989 under the laws of Delaware. On
November 3, 1995, the Company acquired 65% of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Spintech for an aggregate purchase price of $2,700,000. During 1999 and
2000, the Company increased its interest in Spintech to 87.0%, by exercising the
third and fourth of a series of five annual options to acquire an additional 3%
of Spintech's shares for a nominal amount granted in the original acquisition
transaction and by receiving shares from two former employees as part of a
settlement agreement. Spintech developed and owns the technology underlying
various products for healthcare providers, including The Wand(R), and has
registered various patents and trademarks related to these products.

      In March 2001, Milestone was granted a broad new United States patent and
three related United States patents covering its CompuFlo(TM) technology, a new
technology for computer-controlled infusion of a wide array of liquid drugs and
other fluids, aspiration of bodily fluids and measurements of in-tissue
pressure. The CompuFlo(TM) technology is designed to reduce patient pain and
tissue tearing during injection procedures. Use of CompuFlo(TM) technology will
provide doctors with real time feed-back of flow rate, volume injected and
tissue pressure.

      The Company maintains its executive offices at 220 South Orange Avenue,
Livingston Corporate Park, Livingston, New Jersey 07039, and its telephone
number is (973) 535-2717.

Products

      The Wand(R) Computer Controlled Anesthetic Injection System is a computer
controlled local anesthetic delivery system developed by the Company. The
Company believes that The Wand(R) overcomes the typical problems associated with
conventional anesthetic injections. The slim, pencil-like shape of The Wand(R)
is more functional to the user and less ominous in appearance to the patient.
The pencil grip provides a greater level of stability for the user by preventing
antagonistic movements between the patient and the practitioner during needle
placement, a positioning control not possible with syringes currently in use. A
computer driven infusion machine operated by the standard air controlled foot
pedal provides the precision flow necessary for virtually painless local
anesthesia. The Wand(R) provides a highly controlled rate of emission of
anesthetic solution in advance of the needle point. The controlled rate of
anesthetic emission causes an anesthetic pathway, which anesthetizes the tissue
immediately ahead of the needle's penetration. The controlled rate substantially
eliminates the so-called "bee sting" effect, which is pain associated with the
sudden build-up of pressure by the too rapid flow rate of expelled fluids.
Because The Wand(R) uses a disposable handpiece and needle, the Company believes
that it will offer protection against patient cross-contamination.

      In many procedures, The Wand(R) more quickly anesthetizes by eliminating
the need for preliminary pain blocking injections and reducing the waiting time
required to see if the injection has taken effect before further anesthetic
injections. Also, with the October 1999 introduction of The Wand(R) Plus
disposable handpiece, aspiration time was reduced from 14 to 5 seconds. The
Company believes that The Wand(R) enables a dentist to provide virtually
painless injections, increases productivity, is more sanitary than traditional
methods of injections and that it provides important competitive advantages for
dentists trying to build and maintain their practices. While designed for use in
dentistry, The Wand(R) also may have uses in proctology, podiatry, urology and
possibly dermatology and plastic surgery. Although the Company has focused its
marketing of The Wand(R) on the dental market, it was granted approval in
September 1999 to sell The Wand(R) in Europe for medical use.

      While many dentists often give comfortable injections, it is extremely
difficult for them to do so consistently using conventional techniques. Dentists
do not have a strong purchase point against which they may guide their hand when
inserting a needle or while administrating the injection. The resulting
uncontrolled


                                       5
<PAGE>

movement of the needle frequently can be painful to the patient. Although the
dentist is taught to inject slowly, present devices do not allow automatic
control of the rate of flow. Thus, the needle often enters tissue that has not
yet been anesthetized. The Wand(R) can precisely control the flow rate and
modulate fluid pressure by the use of a microprocessor and electronically
controlled motor.

      The Company began shipping system kits consisting of The Wand(R) drive
unit, an initial supply of disposable handpieces and needles, an instructional
videotape and other educational material in January 1998. Prior thereto, a
pre-production prototype of The Wand(R) had been clinically tested in over 1,000
patients. Of those tested, 96% reported a "virtually painless" or significantly
less painful procedure than the traditional syringe injection. At that time,
three additional clinical studies were conducted on various aspects of The
Wand(R) performance and were published in major dental publications. Over the
last two years, three favorable evaluations were reported by independent testing
organizations. Additionally, ten domestic and nine international clinical
studies were completed in year 2000 and either published or submitted for
publication in major dental journals. To date, over 40 articles have been
published about The Wand(R).

      SplatrFree(TM) Prophy Angles. Prophy angles are dental accessories
incorporating a cup-like rubber tip moving at high rotational speeds, which are
used by dentists and dental hygienists in teeth cleaning and other prophylaxis
procedures. Prophy angle tips frequently cause splattering of saliva,
particulate matter and possibly pathogens onto the dentist, hygienist, dental
instruments and surrounding surfaces. The SplatrFree(TM) prophy angle has a
unique tip design that substantially eliminates splattering. The SplatrFree(TM)
prophy angle is available in disposable models. The Company believes that its
prophy angle can improve dental office infection control and hygiene by reducing
the spread of infection from patient to patient and from patient to dentist or
dental auxiliaries (including dental assistants).

      Since the Company began marketing The Wand(R), it has included Becton
Dickinson Luer Lock needles in its system kits. In October 1999, the Company
began selling the needles directly to its dental customers.

Manufacturing and Sources of Supply

      The Wand(R) equipment units are manufactured for the Company by Tricor
Systems, Inc. ("Tricor") pursuant to specific purchase orders. In order to fund
certain expenses of Tricor, the Company has advanced funds to Tricor. These
advances are reduced as Tricor makes shipments to the Company. Net advances to
Tricor as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $1,004,530 and 1,707,789,
respectively.

      The disposable handpiece for The Wand(R) is manufactured for the Company
by Nypro Inc. ("Nypro") pursuant to scheduled production requirements. Nypro
utilizes molds, semi-automated assembly equipment and packaging equipment
purchased by the Company. In 1998, a $1,712,982 writedown of new, yet unused,
semi-automation equipment and molds was made by the Company. The semi-automation
equipment and molds were purchased for approximately $2,200,000 in anticipation
of the ramp up of disposable handpiece sales.

      In 2000, the Company further evaluated the recoverability of its assets,
and as a result of continued losses from operations, it wrote off $956,546, the
remaining book value of its tooling equipment. The Company also wrote off
$1,247,175 in unamortized patents.

      All SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles have been produced for the Company by
Team Technologies, Inc. ("TTI") pursuant to an agreement entered into in July
1995. Prototype prophy angles were produced in a single cavity mold purchased by
the Company for $7,000. Commercial quantities of prophy angles are produced
utilizing a 16-cavity production mold capable of producing more than 30,000
prophy angles per day. The 16-cavity production mold was purchased by the
Company at a cost of $72,000. Commercial delivery of prophy angles began in the
first quarter of 1997 after small modifications to TTI production molds.


                                       6
<PAGE>

      In October 1999, the Company reached an agreement through an authorized
intermediary to sell Becton Dickinson ("BD") Luer Lock needles directly to
Milestone dental customers. Since December 1999, BD's dental partner, Crosstex
International, has handled needle purchases by the Company.

Marketing

      The Wand(R) originally was marketed to dental practitioners through a
group of dental distributors in the U.S. and Canada. In October 1999, in
conjunction with the launch of The Wand(R) Plus handpiece, the Company severed
the U.S. distribution channel and began selling and marketing its product
directly to dentists throughout the U.S. The dealer distribution channel in
Canada was not affected until March 2000, when the Company signed a distribution
agreement with order minimums with Synca, a Canadian corporation. In addition,
the Company has established regional sales territories in the U.S. and Canada.
As of December 31, 2000, these territories were staffed by twelve full time
sales people. Sales representatives train, motivate, and direct sales activity.
They also conduct study clubs for dentists, contact and call on dental hygiene
schools, attend local, state and national dental conventions, and call on
dentists for training and education purposes. Sales literature and training
materials are produced to support the selling and educational activities of the
Company and its representatives. Currently, the Company has ten full time sales
people and two independent sales representatives.

      Marketing of The Wand(R) outside the U.S. is accomplished through
specified dental product distributors. The Company markets its other products
directly to its dental customers.

Dental and Hygiene School Program

      The Company has a commitment to the dental profession to support the
education and training of future dentists and dental professionals. Accordingly,
the Company offers special educational assistance programs to qualified dental
and hygiene schools throughout the United States and Canada. These programs
include providing demo units, a year's supply of handpieces per unit, and free
instruction and guidance to participating educators. Currently, The Wand(R) has
been added to the curriculum of 28 U.S. and Canadian dental schools and 17
schools providing degrees in dental hygiene.

Competition

      The Company faces intense competition from companies in the medical and
dental device industry, including well-established academic institutions,
possessing substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel, and other
resources. Most of the Company's competitors have established reputations,
stemming from their success in the development, sale, and service of medical
products. Further, rapid technological change and extensive research and
development characterize the industry. Current or new competitors could, at any
time, introduce new or enhanced products with features that render the Company's
products less marketable, or even obsolete. Therefore, the Company must devote
substantial efforts and financial resources to improve its existing products,
bring its developmental products to market, and develop new products for its
related markets. In order to compete successfully, the Company must establish an
effective distribution network. Several regulatory authorities also must approve
the Company's products before they may be marketed. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to compete successfully, that its competitors will
not develop technologies or products that render the Company's products less
marketable or obsolete, or that the Company will succeed in improving its
existing products, effectively develop new products or obtain required
regulatory approvals therefor.

      The Wand(R) competes with non-automated disposable and reusable syringes
and other local anesthetic delivery systems generally selling at significantly
lower prices and utilizing established and well-understood methodologies. The
Wand(R) competes on the basis of its performance characteristics and offers
significant benefits to the dentist and the patient. It reduces fear, pain and
anxiety for the patient and greatly reduces dentist stress levels. It can be
used for all local anesthesia techniques as well as new and modified techniques.
These


                                       7
<PAGE>

new techniques allow faster procedures, shortening of chair time while
minimizing numbing of the lips and facial muscles of expression. It enhances
productivity, reduces stress and virtually eliminates pain and anxiety. In
February 2001, a division of Dentsply International ("Dentsply") unveiled its
own "Computer Controlled Anesthetic Delivery System". The Company has not
completely assessed the competition presented by the produt but knows the
introduction of the Dentsply product serves to validate the technology implicit
in The Wand(R).

      SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles compete with prophy angles produced and
distributed by a number of major manufacturers and distributors and other
producers or distributors of dental products, many of whom have significant
competitive advantages because of their size, strength in the marketplace,
financial and other resources and broad product lines. The Company competes on
the basis of the superior, non-splattering performance of its prophy angle and
product quality.

      The Luer Lock needle competes with dental needles produced and distributed
by a number of major manufacturers and distributors and other producers or
distributors of dental products, many of whom have significant competitive
advantages because of their size, strength in the marketplace, financial and
other resources and broad product lines. The Company competes on the basis of
convenience since it can package the product with an order for disposable
handpieces.

Dependence on a Few Major Customers

In 2000, the Company made sales to the following three customers in the
aggregate amount of approximately $1,891,000. Sales to New Image do Brasil
Import Export Ltda. (our distributor in Brazil), Milestone Medical Technologies
Ltd. (our distributor in Europe and Africa), and Yoshida Dental Manufacturing
Company (our distributor in Japan) represented 12%, 11% and 10% of sales for
2000, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable due from Milestone Medical
Technologies Ltd. at December 31, 2000 amount to approximately $354,000,
representing 67% of accounts receivable as of the end of the 2000. During the
year ended December 31, 1999, sales to one customer, AFP Imaging Corp., our
former international distributor, amounted to approximately $516,326 or 18% of
sales for that year. Each of the above named distributors resold the Company's
products to dental practitioners, principally in foreign markets.

Patents and Intellectual Property

The Company's patents are believed to be material to its business and potential
growth. The Company holds the following ten United States utility patents and
three United States design patents:

</TABLE>

      The Company also has filed four additional United States utility patent
applications on improvements in The Wand(R) and its accessories, and two other
utility applications on related injection technology.

      The Company has adopted the trademarks SplatrFree(TM), The Wand(R) and The
Wand(R) Plus. SplatrFree(TM) is registered on the Supplemental Register as
United States Trademark Registration No. 2,226,868, issued February 23, 1999.
The Wand(R) is registered on the Principal Register as Registration No.
2,291,401, issued November 9, 1999. The Wand(R) Plus is the subject of a pending
trademark application which has been approved and published by the United States
Patent & Trademark Office.

      The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret,
and trademark laws and employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements to
protect its intellectual property rights. Despite the precautions taken by the
Company to protect its products, unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse
engineer, copy, or obtain and use products and information that the Company
regards as proprietary. Litigation may be necessary to protect the Company's
intellectual property rights and could result in substantial cost to and
diversion of effort by the Company with no guarantee of success. The failure of
the Company to protect its proprietary information and the expenses of doing so
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results and
financial condition.

      While there are no current claims that the Company's products infringe on
the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third
parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future
with respect to current or future products or that any such assertion may not
require the Company to cease selling such products, or to enter into
arrangements that require the Company to pay royalties, or to engage in costly
litigation. Although the Company has received no claims of infringement, it is
possible that infringement of existing or future patents or proprietary rights
of others may occur. In the event that the Company's products infringe patent or
proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify its
processes or to obtain a license. There can be no assurance that the Company
would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions,
or at all. The failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

Government Regulation

      SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles and The Wand(R) were cleared for marketing in
the United States by the FDA in April and July 1996, respectively.

      The manufacture and sale of medical devices and other medical products,
such as the SplatrFree(TM) prophy angle and The Wand(R), are subject to
extensive regulation by the FDA pursuant to the FDC Act, and by other federal,
state and foreign authorities. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive
FDA clearance before they can be marketed commercially in the United States.
Some medical products must undergo rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing
and an extensive FDA approval process before they can be marketed. These
processes can take a number of years and require the expenditure of substantial
resources. The time required for completing such testing and obtaining such
approvals is uncertain, and FDA clearance may never be obtained. Delays or
rejections may be encountered based upon changes in FDA policy during the period
of product development and FDA regulatory review of each product submitted.
Similar delays also may be encountered in other countries. Following the
enactment of the Medical Device Amendments to the FDC Act in May 1976, the FDA
classified medical devices in commercial distribution into one of three classes.
This classification is based


                                       9
<PAGE>

on the controls necessary to reasonably ensure the safety and effectiveness of
the medical device. Class I devices are those devices whose safety and
effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through general controls, such as
adequate labeling, premarket notification, and adherence to the FDA's Quality
System Regulation ("QSR"), also referred to as "good manufacturing practices
("GMP") regulations. Some Class I devices are further exempted from some of the
general controls. Class II devices are those devices whose safety and
effectiveness reasonably can be ensured through the use of special controls,
such as performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries, and
FDA guidelines. Class III devices are those which must receive premarket
approval by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Generally, Class
III devices are limited to life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable
devices.

      If a manufacturer or distributor can establish that a proposed device is
"substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed Class I or Class II medical
device or to a Class III medical device for which the FDA has not required
premarket approval, the manufacturer or distributor may seek FDA marketing
clearance for the device by filing a 510(k) Premarket Notification. The 510(k)
Premarket Notification and the claim of substantial equivalence may have to be
supported by various types of data and materials, including test results
indicating that the device is as safe and effective for its intended use as a
legally marketed predicate device. Following submission of the 510(k) Premarket
Notification, the manufacturer or distributor may not place the device into
commercial distribution until an order is issued by the FDA. By regulation, the
FDA has no specific time limit by which it must respond to a 510(k) Premarket
Notification. At this time, the FDA typically responds to the submission of a
510(k) Premarket Notification within 90 to 200 days. The FDA response may
declare that the device is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed
device and allow the proposed device to be marketed in the United States.
However, the FDA may determine that the proposed device is not substantially
equivalent or may require further information, such as additional test data,
before the FDA is able to make a determination regarding substantial
equivalence. Such determination or request for additional information could
delay the Company's market introduction of its products and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. If a device that has obtained 510(k)
Premarket Notification clearance is changed or modified in design, components,
method of manufacture, or intended use, such that the safety or effectiveness or
the device could be significantly affected, separate 510(k) Premarket
Notification clearance must be obtained before the modified device can be
marketed in the United States.

      If a manufacturer or distributor cannot establish that a proposed device
is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, the manufacturer or
distributor will have to seek premarket approval of the proposed device. A
premarket approval application (a "PMA application") would be supported by
extensive data, including pre-clinical and human clinical trial data, as well as
extensive literature, to prove the safety and efficacy of the device. Upon
receipt, the FDA will conduct a preliminary review of the PMA application to
determine whether the submission is sufficiently complete to permit substantive
review. If sufficiently complete, the submission is declared acceptable for
filing by the FDA. The FDA has 180 days to review a PMA application once it has
been declared acceptable for filing. While in the past the FDA has responded to
PMA applications within the allotted time period, more frequently PMA reviews
occur over a significantly protracted time period, and generally take
approximately two years or more from the date of filing to complete. A number of
devices for which FDA marketing clearance has been sought have never been
cleared for marketing.

      If human clinical trials of a proposed device are required and the device
presents "significant risk," the manufacturer or distributor of the device will
have to file an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") application with the
FDA prior to commencing human clinical trials. The IDE application must be
supported by data, typically including the results of animal and mechanical
testing. If the IDE application is approved, human clinical trials may begin at
the specific number of investigational sites and could include the number of
patients approved by the FDA subject to any limitations imposed by FDA, such as
the specific number of investigational sites and/or number of patients approved
by FDA.

      Though the SplatrFree(TM) prophy angle and The Wand(R) have received FDA
clearance based on their 510(k) Premarket Notification, there can be no
assurance that any of the Company's other products under


                                       10
<PAGE>

development will obtain the required regulatory clearance on a timely basis, or
at all. If regulatory clearance of a product is granted, such clearance may
entail limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed.
In addition, modifications may be made to the Company's products to incorporate
and enhance their functionality and performance based upon new data and design
review. There can be no assurance that the FDA will not request additional
information relating to product improvements, that any such improvements would
not require further regulatory review thereby delaying the testing, approval and
commercialization of the Company's development products or that ultimately any
such improvements will receive FDA clearance.

      Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual
review and will be monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. Later
discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer, or
facility may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer, including
fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of
products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

      The Company is subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA,
whose regulations require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain
QSR requirements, also referred to as "Good Manufacturing Practices" ("GMP") as
defined by the FDC Act. QSR compliance requires testing, quality control and
documentation procedures. Failure to comply with QSR requirements can result in
the suspension or termination of production, product recall or fines and
penalties. Products also must be manufactured in registered establishments. In
addition, labeling and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA
and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. The export of
devices is also subject to regulation in certain instances.

      The Medical Device Reporting ("MDR") regulation obligates the Company to
provide information to the FDA on product malfunctions or injuries alleged to
have been associated with the use of the product or in connection with certain
product failures that could cause serious injury. If, as a result of FDA
inspections, MDR reports or other information, the FDA believes that the Company
is not in compliance with the law, the FDA can institute proceedings to detain
or seize products, enjoin future violations, or assess civil and/or criminal
penalties against the Company, its officers or employees. Any action by the FDA
could result in disruption of the Company's operations for an undetermined time.

      In addition to the foregoing, numerous other federal and state agencies,
such as environmental, fire hazard control, working condition and other similar
regulators, have jurisdiction to take actions that could have a materially
adverse effect upon the Company's ability to do business. In addition, expansion
of the Company's operations into foreign countries will require the Company to
obtain approvals, permits or licenses and comply with additional regulatory
schemes in those countries. Amendments to existing statutes and regulations,
adoption of new statutes and regulations and expansion of the Company's business
could require the Company to alter methods of operations at costs that could be
substantial, which could have an adverse effect on the Company. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able, for financial or other reasons, to
comply with applicable laws and regulations and approval, permit or license
requirements. Currently, the Company believes it is in compliance with all
applicable statutes and regulations governing its operations and business as
currently conducted, including, without limitation, those in respect of the
SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles and The Wand(TM), and The Wand(R) Plus, and the
Company has all necessary approvals, permits and licenses that are applicable to
its business, operations and products and services.

Product Liability

      Failure to use any of the Company's products in accordance with
recommended operating procedures potentially could result in subjecting users to
health hazards or injury. Failures of the Company's products to function
properly could subject the Company to claims of liability. The Company maintains
liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000 with a per-occurrence
limit of $1,000,000 and a $10,000,000 umbrella policy, which the Company
believes to be adequate. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance
coverage will be sufficient to pay products liability claims brought against the
Company. A partially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of
significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Research and Development Activities

      During the 2000 and 1999 fiscal years, the Company expensed $386,250 and
$455,332, respectively, on research and development activities.

Employees

      The Company had 34 full-time including three executive officers and 3
part-time employees at December 31, 2000. The Company also uses the services of
certain outside consultants for marketing and other activities.

Certain Risk Factors That May Affect Growth And Profitability

      The following factors may affect the growth and profitability of the
Company and should be considered by any prospective purchaser of the Company's
securities:

      History of Losses; Accumulated Deficit. Our operations commenced in
November 1995, when we acquired a 65% interest in Spintech. For the fiscal years
ending December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 we had limited revenues. For the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000 our revenues were approximately
$8.8 million, $2.9 million, and $5.7 million respectively. In addition, we have
had losses for each of the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
and 2000 including a loss of approximately $7.5 million for 2000. At December
31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $35.4 million. We
cannot assure you we will be able to generate operating profits and resultant
cash flow sufficient to fund our operations in the future.

      Going Concern Limitation. The report of our independent auditors with
respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000
included in this Annual Report states that there is substantial doubt regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that our
existing operations will not continue to generate negative cash flows. However,
we believe that increased cash flows from operations during the current year,
coupled with savings from our post year end debt restructuring and new
financings, will increase to a level sufficient to satisfy our working capital
needs. See "Description of Business."

      Need for Greater Market Acceptance of The Wand(R). As with any new
technology, there is substantial risk that the marketplace will not accept the
potential benefits of such technology or be unwilling to pay for any cost
differential with the existing technologies. Market acceptance of The Wand(R)
depends, in large part, upon our ability to educate potential customers of the
distinctive characteristics and benefits of The Wand(R) and will require
substantial marketing efforts and expense. More than 10,500 units of The Wand(R)
were sold in the U.S. over the past three years. The 1,900,000 in disposable
handpiece sales for 2000 reflect a low level of usage of The Wand(R). However,
from November 1999 through the present, the Company has experienced increased
disposable handpiece sales in the U.S. Since sales and rates of usage of our
products have not sufficiently improved, the Company has curtailed some
marketing efforts and relied on the gradual build-up of demand due to growing
awareness of the benefits of The Wand(R) technology resulting from additional
clinical studies. We cannot assure you that our current or proposed products
will be accepted by end users or that any of the current or proposed products
will be able to compete effectively against current and alternative products.


                                       12
<PAGE>

      Limited Financial Resources; Need for Additional Financing. Our capital
requirements have been and will continue to be significant, though we believe,
after giving effect to the debt restructuring and equity funding during the
first quarter of 2001, that we have sufficient working capital for the next 12
months. However, if we have underestimated our operating expenses or our
expected revenue, we will be required to borrow funds or sell equity securities,
or curtail or reduce our activities. We have no current arrangements for future
additional financing, except as disclosed herein. We cannot assure you that any
sources of additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at
all. To the extent that any future financing involves the sale of our equity
securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders could be substantially
diluted.

      Highly Competitive Industry; Technological and Product Obsolescence. We
face intense competition from many companies in the medical and dental device
industry, including well-established academic institutions, possessing
substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel, and other resources. Most
of our competitors have established reputations, stemming from their success in
the development, sale, and service of competing dental products. Further, rapid
technological change and research may affect our product. Current or new
competitors could, at any time, introduce new or enhanced products with features
that render our products less marketable or even obsolete. In February 2001, a
division of Dentsply unveiled its own "Computer Controlled Anesthetic Delivery
System". The Company has not completely assessed the competition presented by
the product but knows the introduction of the Dentsply product serves to
validate the technology implicit in The Wand(R). Therefore, we must devote
substantial efforts and financial resources to improve our existing products,
bring our products to market quickly, and develop new products for related
markets. In addition, our ability to compete successfully requires that we
establish an effective distribution network. Several regulatory authorities must
approve our products before they may be marketed. We cannot assure you that we
can compete successfully, that our competitors will not develop technologies or
products that render our products less marketable or obsolete, or that we will
succeed in improving our existing products, effectively develop new products, or
obtain required regulatory approval for those products.

      Limited Distribution; Need to Broaden Distribution Channels. Our future
revenues depend on our ability to market and distribute The Wand(R)
successfully. During 1999, we relied, primarily on independent dental
distributors to sell The Wand(R) domestically and internationally. In January
2000, we terminated our international distribution agreement and entered into a
new one, giving our products entry into Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Israel,
South Africa, Scandinavia while retaining our presence in China and Taiwan.
Domestically, the efforts of our sales force in marketing The Wand(R) continued
to grow in 2000. As 2000 came to a close, the Company began to explore the use
of independent sales representatives to market The Wand(R) domestically, to
eliminate expenses associated with maintaining an in-house sales force.

      Patent and Intellectual Property Protection. We hold U.S. patents
applicable to the The Wand(R) as well as the SplatrFree(TM) prophy angle. We
rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, and trademark laws and employee
and third-party nondisclosure agreements, to protect our intellectual property
rights. Despite the precautions we have taken to protect our products,
unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer, copy, or obtain and use
products and information that we regard as proprietary. We may have to initiate
lawsuits to protect our intellectual property rights. Such lawsuits are costly
and divert management's time and effort away from our business with no guarantee
of success. Our failure to protect our proprietary rights, and the expense of
doing so, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and
financial condition. Although we have not received any claims of infringement,
it is possible that our products may infringe on the existing or future patents
or proprietary rights of others. If so, we may have to modify our processes or
to obtain a license. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a
timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all.

      Dependence on Manufacturers. We have informal arrangements with certain
manufacturers with respect to the manufacture of our products. Termination of
the manufacturing relationship with any of these manufacturers could
significantly and adversely affect our ability to produce and sell our products.
Though alternate sources of supply exist and new manufacturing relationships
could be established, we would need to recover our existing tools or have new
tools produced. Establishing new manufacturing relationships could


                                       13
<PAGE>

involve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruptions of the
supply, whether or not as a result or termination of the relationship, would
adversely affect us.

      Product Liability. We could be subject to claims for personal injury from
the use of our dental and medical products. We have liability insurance in the
aggregate amount of $2,000,000 with a per-occurrence limit of $1,000,000, which
we believe is adequate, although we cannot assure you that the insurance
coverage will be sufficient to pay such claims should they be made. A partially
or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could
have a material adverse effect on us.

      Reliance Upon Management. We depend on the personal efforts and abilities
of Leonard Osser, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. While we have a key
man life insurance policy in the amount of $3,000,000 on the life of Mr. Osser,
any loss of his services could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

      No Dividends. We have never paid a cash dividend on our Common Stock.
Payment of dividends on our Common Stock is within the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial
condition, and other relevant factors. We currently do not intend to declare any
dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

      Control by Certain Persons. Our current officers and directors own
approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Accordingly, by
reason of their stockholdings, and their control of the means for soliciting
stockholder votes, the officers and directors will be able to exercise control
and, in all likelihood, will be able to continue to elect all directors.

      Limitation of Director Liability. Our Certificate of Incorporation
provides that our directors are not personally liable to us or any of our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a
director, including breaches that constitute gross negligence, subject to
certain limitations imposed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Thus, under
certain circumstances, neither we, nor our stockholders, can recover damages
even if directors take actions that harm us.

      Government Regulation and FDA Clearance. The manufacture and sale of the
Company's SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles and The Wand(R) are subject to extensive
regulation by the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDC
Act"), and by other federal, state and foreign authorities. Under the FDC Act,
these medical devices must receive FDA clearance before they can be marketed
commercially in the United States. Some products must undergo rigorous
pre-clinical and clinical testing and an extensive FDA approval process before
they can be marketed. These processes can take a number of years and require the
expenditure of substantial resources. The time required for completing such
testing and obtaining such approvals is uncertain, and FDA clearance may never
be obtained. Delays or rejections may be based upon changes in FDA policy during
the period of product development and FDA regulatory review of each submitted
application. Similar delays also may be encountered in other countries. While
SplatrFree(TM) prophy angle and The Wand(R) have received FDA marketing
clearance, there can be no assurance that all of our products under development
will obtain the required regulatory clearance on a timely basis, or at all. If
regulatory clearance of a product is granted, such clearance may impose
limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed. In
addition, modifications may be made to our products to incorporate and enhance
their functionality and performance based upon new data and design review. There
can be no assurance that the FDA will not request additional information
relating to product improvements, that any such improvements would not require
further regulatory review thereby delaying the testing, approval and
commercialization of the our products or that ultimately any such improvements
will receive FDA clearance. FDA regulations also require manufacturers of
medical devices to adhere to certain "Good Manufacturing Practices" ("GMP"),
which include testing, design, quality control and documentation procedures.
Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual
review and will be monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. Later
discovery of previously unknown


                                       14
<PAGE>

problems with a product, manufacturer, or facility may result in restrictions on
such product or manufacturer, including fines, delays or suspensions of
regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions
and criminal prosecution and could have a material adverse effect on us.

      Restricted Securities; Possible Volatility of Market Price. Shares of our
Common Stock currently are traded on the American Stock Exchange. From time to
time the market prices of dental and medical product companies have been
affected by various factors, including adverse publicity. We cannot assure you
that the market price of our Common Stock will not be volatile as a result of
factors such as our financial results, possible adverse publicity resulting from
any infractions of governmental regulations and various other factors affecting
dental and medical product companies or the market generally. In recent years
the stock market has experienced wide price fluctuations not necessarily related
to the operating performance of such companies.

      Effect of Outstanding Warrants and Options. We currently have outstanding
options and warrants to purchase 1,826,800 shares of our Common Stock at prices
ranging from $.875 to $23.00 per share. Holders of these warrants and options
are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our
Common Stock and are likely to exercise their securities at a time when we would
be able to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms. Thus, the
terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be
adversely affected, since the holders of outstanding options and warrants can be
expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to
obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms
provided by such outstanding securities. We have granted registration rights
with respect to our shares of our Common Stock covered by the warrants.

Item 2. Description of Property

      On March 20, 1997 Milestone opened new corporate headquarters and
administrative offices occupying approximately 2,693 square feet at 220 South
Orange Avenue, Livingston Corporate Park, Livingston, New Jersey. The Company
occupies this space under a five (5) year and one (1) month lease at a cost the

ITEM 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

During 2000, the Company took significant steps to grow The Wand(R) ownership
base and increase the daily utilization by domestic dentists. The Company
enlarged its direct sales force from 3 to 12 and increased its presence at
national, regional and local trade shows as part of its direct sales approach.

Internationally, the Company established additional distribution agreements,
which provide for the sale of The Wand(R) in Canada and throughout Central and
South America. The Company also received approval to sell The Wand(R) and its
disposable handpieces in Japan.

Furthermore, during this period of time, the Company received approval from the
FDA to market The Wand(R) to medical practitioners, raised $2,000,000 through a
private placement, established lines of credit totaling $1,200,000 and resolved
lawsuits pending against the Company.

Lastly, the Company recorded $2.2 million of aggregate writedowns of the
carrying values of tooling equipment and patents as a result of continued losses
and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 compared to fiscal year ended December 31,
1999

Statement of Operations

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were
$5,674,351 and $2,855,463, respectively. The $2,818,888 or 98.7% increase
reflects an approximate 124% increase in domestic sales of The Wand(R) and a 67%
increase in domestic sales of its disposable handpiece. For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000, domestic sales of units of The Wand(R) increased by 960
to 1,737 and domestic disposable handpieces sales increased by 746,600 to
1,854,950, when compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in net sales
also includes an 81% aggregate increase in sales for foreign distributions. The
increase in foreign sales includes the shipment of 1000 units of The Wand(R) and
approximately 100,000 disposable handpieces to the Company's authorized dealer
in Japan. It also includes 2,100 units and 121,000 disposable handpieces for
distribution in Brazil and Mexico. These increases partially were offset by
$143,819 of net sales generated from the discontinued Wisdom toothbrush line
during 1999.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were $
3,626,786 and $1,572,319, respectively. The $2,054,467 increase is attributable
primarily to an increase in sales of The Wand(R) and its disposable handpieces
and a $956,546 writedown in the net book value of the Company's semi-automation
equipment and molds. The increase partially was offset by a $206,190 decrease in
cost of sales resulting from the termination of the Wisdom product line and the
effect of previously reserved inventory sold during the current year.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company generated a gross profit of $
2,047,565 or 36% as compared to a gross profit of $1,283,144 or 44.9% for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999 were $8,497,955 and $7,009,543, respectively. The $1,488,412
increase is attributable principally to the $1,247,175 patent writedown and
$520,975 in compensation expense representing 267,500 stock options issued to
consultants, which partially was offset by a $134,684 decrease in expenses
resulting from the termination of the Wisdom product line and other decreases in
legal and marketing expenses.


                                       19
<PAGE>

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999 were $386,250 and $455,332, respectively. The $69,082
difference is attributable primarily to a decrease in costs associated with
product improvements.

In April 1999, the Company discontinued its selling effort with regard to the
Wisdom product line excluding Splatrfree(TM) prophy angles. Aggregate costs of
$76,345 were incurred in terminating the product line. They included $19,291 for
uncollectible receivables, $15,692 in aggregate termination compensation and
employee benefits, $5,066 for a lease buyout, $18,793 in previously unamortized
acquisition costs, and $17,503 to write off inventory. During the fourth quarter
of 2000, the Company disposed of a trade show display for the Wisdom product
line with a net book value of $17,783.

Loss from operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $
6,854,423 and $6,258,076, respectively.

The Company incurred interest expenses of $436,340 for the year ended December
31, 2000 as compared to $64,572 of interest expense for calendar 1999. The
$371,768 difference is attributable to a higher average interest rate on lower
average borrowings in 2000, $377,963 of non-cash interest representing
amortization of the debt discount, deferred financing costs associated with the
detachable warrants from the $1,000,000 credit line established in August, 2000,
the $1,000,000 private placement established by February 1, 2000, and certain
warrants issued to financing advisors that were extended and repriced by the
Company during 2000. Interest income generated from treasury bills during 1999
as compared to minimal investments during the same period in 2000, accounted for
the $72,188 decrease in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Also, as a result of a reduction in the conversion price of the 3% convertible
notes, the Company recorded a non-cash debt conversion expense of $731,250 in
1999.

In February 2000, the Company settled a lawsuit with two former employees,
Ronald Spinello, DDS, former Chairman and Director of Research of Spintech and
his son, Glen Spinello. Milestone paid $25,000 to Dr. Spinello and issued to him
80,000 shares and to Glen Spinello 8,000 shares. Since the market price of the
shares was $2.3125 per share, the Company recognized a $228,500 expense for the
settlement.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $7,509,855 as compared to
a net loss of $6,972,312 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The $537,543
increase in net loss is attributable to $2,203,721 in asset writedowns from
impairment, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, an
increase in interest expense, a decrease in interest income, and the cost to
settling litigation. The above items were offset partially by a 98.7% increase
in aggregate sales revenue for The Wand(R) and its disposable handpiece, the
recovery of a portion of previously reserved inventory, a reduction in research
and development expenses, debt conversion expenses of $731,250 recognized in
1999, and the elimination of expenses associated with the termination of the
Wisdom product line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2000, Milestone's working capital was $111,039.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$69,976.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company's net cash used in operating
activities was $2,842,677, attributable principally to a net loss of $7,509,855
adjusted for non-cash items of $244,549 for patent amortization, $377,913 for
non-cash interest, $474,071 for depreciation, $520,975 for non-cash consulting
expenses, a $956,546 loss on impairment of fixed assets, a $1,247,175 loss on
impairment of patents, a $17,783 loss on a disposed trade show display, and
$203,500 for the non-cash portion of a lawsuit settlement. Changes in operating
assets and liabilities consist of a $231,766 increase in accounts receivable, a
$373,187 net decrease in inventory and advances to a contract manufacturer, a
$39,924 decrease in prepaid expenses; an $11,953 decrease in accrued expenses, a
$141,346 increase in deferred compensation, a $130,416 increase in accrued
interest and a $152,407 increase in accounts payable.


                                       20
<PAGE>

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company used $51,773 in investing
activities. These expenditures covered retooling costs for product
modifications, leasehold improvements, and additional furniture and fixtures.

Financing activities provided $2,824,474 for the period. The Company, as
described below, raised $2,000,000 through private placements, drew down
$1,100,000 in aggregate from two credit lines (including $200,000 provided by
the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and converted $2,250,000 of
debt to equity. As of December 31 2000, it made $243,005 in aggregate principal
payments and $58,727 in cash interest payments to these note holders. Additional
notes for $18,333 were issued in lieu of interest during 2000 and 27,641
additional shares were issued subsequent to year end in lieu of payment of
interest.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had $172,867 in aggregate cash and cash
equivalents. In addition, as of March 31, 2001, the Company, as described below,
had received an additional $1,000,000 in new financing from existing major
investors and obtained an equity commitment subject to certain conditions for up
to 2.1 million shares of its Common Stock. Management believes that through the
proper utilization of these existing funds, revenues generated from
international distributors and from continued increases in domestic disposable
handpiece sales, the expense reductions achieved through cost containment
programs, and the funds raised during the first quarter of 2001, it will have
sufficient cash to meet its needs over the next twelve months.

Private Placements

20% Promissory Notes

In August 2000, Milestone borrowed $1,000,000 from two funds managed by
Cumberland Associates LLC pursuant to a 2-year secured loan, bearing interest at
20% per year and payable in cash or through the issuance of additional 20% notes
on which both interest and principal are payable at the maturity of the loan.
The loan is prepayable in cash at any time, and is prepayable, with accrued
interest, in Milestone Common Stock after March 31, 2001. Stock issued in
payment of this debt will be valued at 85% of the then market prices.

8% Promissory Note

On July 31, 2000 the Company entered a $1,000,000 Purchase and Line of Credit
Agreement with a major existing investor. Initially, $500,000 was borrowed under
the line, which is due on June 30, 2003. In December 2000, the Company borrowed
an additional $400,000 under the line, which is due on December 31, 2003.
Pursuant to the agreement, the investor received a five-year warrant to purchase
70,000 shares of our Common Stock, exercisable at $3.00 per share, in connection
with the $500,000 loan and a five-year warrant to purchase 80,000 shares
exercisable at $1.25 per share in connection with the $400,000 loan.

9% Promissory Note

In April 2000, Leonard Osser, Chairman and CEO, agreed to provide to the Company
a $200,000 line of credit from which funds could be drawn until December 31,
2000, and having a maturity of February 2001. In July 2000, Milestone borrowed
the $200,000 under the line of credit. Mr. Osser has agreed to defer all
principal and interest payments until April 30, 2001.

10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes

As of February 1, 2000, the Company concluded a $1 million institutional private
placement of 10% Senior Secured Promissory notes due June 30, 2001 and warrants
to purchase 142,857 shares of Milestone Common


                                       21
<PAGE>

Stock with Cumberland Associates, Strategic Restructuring Partnership L.P., a
former principal of Cumberland Associates, two officers of the Corporation, an
affiliate of one of its directors and six other individuals. The notes are
secured by all present and future inventories of Milestone and are prepayable
out of a portion of the proceeds generated by sales of The Wand(R). The warrants
originally were exercisable at prices increasing from $1.75 per share in the
first year to $7.00 per share in the fifth year, subject to anti-dilution
protection in the event of stock dividends and certain capital changes.
Purchasers of the warrants were granted rights to participate in certain future
security offerings by Milestone.

In March 1999, the Company concluded a $2 million institutional private
placement with Cumberland Partners, other investment funds managed by or
affiliated with Cumberland Associates and certain principals of Cumberland
Associates. An additional $250,000 was raised from the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Milestone, on the same terms and conditions. The investors
purchased, at face value, 3% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2003, convertible into
Milestone Common Stock at prices increasing from $2.50 per share in the first
year to $6.00 per share in the fourth year, subject to anti-dilution protection
in the event of stock dividends and certain capital changes. Purchasers of the
Notes were granted rights to participate in certain future security offerings by
Milestone. In February 2000, the holders of the 3% Convertible Notes agreed to
convert all $2,250,000 of such notes into Common Stock at $1.25 per share. The
1,800,000 shares were registered by Milestone and issued in 2000.

DENTAL OPERATIONS

Domestic

In 2000, the Company continued steps aimed at growing and strengthening the end
user base, thereby increasing acceptance of The Wand(R) and translating into
increased revenue through higher disposable handpiece usage. Domestically, the
124% increase in The Wand(R) system sales and the 67% increase in disposable
handpiece sales is a direct result of the Company's October 1999 sales
initiative. It permitted dentists in the United States to order The Wand(R)
directly through Milestone and to avail themselves of certain quantity discounts
when purchasing disposable handpieces and dental needles. In September 2000, the
Company unveiled two domestic sales initiatives. It introduced a drive unit for
The Wand(R) Plus with several enhancements, including a cruise control feature.
Secondly, dental practitioners can now avail themselves of a 90 day trial
program, which requires a commitment to purchase specified quantities of
disposable handpieces and needles without any outlay for the unit during the
demonstration period. Of the 306 units of The Wand(R) active in the program at
year's end, 182 have been converted into sales. During 2000, the Company
increased its sales and customer service staffs and increased its presence at
trade shows. In addition, the Company has embarked on a campaign to increase the
number of national seminars it presents and to offer mini seminars in the
offices of proficient users. It also continues to a) provide assistance to
dental and dental hygiene schools which include The Wand(R) in their curriculum;
b) visit, obtain feedback from and provide further support to current users of
The Wand(R); c) distribute The Wand(R) technique videos and technical bulletins
to its current users; and d) sell additional units to current users of The
Wand(R).

Internationally

The Company continued to expand its presence overseas in 2000. In February 2000,
Milestone received approval to market The Wand(R) in Japan. Through December 31,
2000, the Company shipped 1,000 units and approximately 100,000 disposable
handpieces to its authorized dealers in Japan. During 2000, we entered
distribution agreements providing for sales of The Wand(R) in Canada, Mexico,
Brazil and remainder of Central and South America. Approximately, 2,500 units
and 300,000 disposable handpieces were shipped in aggregate to these areas in
2000. Previously, the Company had begun shipping The Wand(R) for distribution
throughout Europe and in Taiwan, China, Israel, and South Africa. Practitioners
in Great Britain, Germany and Italy make up the majority of the European end
users to date.


                                       22
<PAGE>

PROPOSED MEDICAL OPERATIONS

In June 2000, the Company received approval from the FDA to market The Wand(R)
for medical use. Once sufficient capital is raised, the Company intends to
create an independent sales and marketing staff for distribution to the medical
community. Further, a working prototype of a device for the delivery of
multi-volume medicaments and anesthetics, along with other added features of
interest to medical practitioners has been developed and was submitted to the
FDA for approval.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to year-end, the Company achieved five major objectives. As mentioned
above, it received $1,000,000 in new financing from existing major investors,
restructured approximately $2,000,000 of existing debt and obtained an equity
commitment subject to certain conditions for up to 2.1 million shares of its
Common Stock. Furthermore, it reached an agreement with a media service company
to increase the awareness of healthcare professionals and the public to the
benefits of The Wand(R) and the Company's new CompuFlo(TM) technologies.
Finally, Milestone was granted a broad new U.S. patent covering the CompuFlo(TM)
technology.

EQUITY LINE COMMITMENT

In January 2001, Milestone entered a private equity line agreement with
Hillgreen Investments Limited ("Hillgreen"), a British Virgin Islands
corporation, pursuant to which Hillgreen is obligated to purchase, subject to
the fulfillment of specified conditions, up to 2.1 million shares of Milestone
Common Stock over the next 36 months. Hillgreen has allocated up to $20 million
to fund its purchase obligations. The transaction was arranged by Jesup & Lamont
Securities Corporation, a New York-based investment banking firm. Milestone's
right to draw upon this facility is subject to a number of limitations and
conditions, including a limitation on the amounts sold to Hillgreen within
specified periods, and the effectiveness of a resale registration statement
covering the securities to be purchased. Subject to these and other conditions
and limitations, Milestone will have full control over the timing of any
financing under the equity line and is under no obligation to sell any shares to
Hillgreen. Any shares that are sold will be priced at 87.5% of the volume
weighted average market price of Milestone Common Stock during a fixed period
prior to the sale. Milestone has discretion to establish a floor price below
which shares will not be sold to Hillgreen. The availability of this equity line
allows the Company to finance operations and move forward in developing its
medical product line.

$1,000,000 IN NEW FINANCING

During the first quarter of 2001, Milestone received $1,000,000 in new financing
from existing major investors: $500,000 pursuant to a line of credit in support
of its demo program for The Wand(R) and $500,000 from the private placement of
500,000 shares of Common Stock. Milestone will pay a 2% facility fee on the line
of credit and interest at the rate of 10% per annum on monies borrowed, less
interest earned on unborrowed funds. In addition, the lender received a warrant
for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of Milestone's Common Stock at a per

ADDITIONAL PATENT PROTECTION FOR THE WAND(R)

In January 2001, Milestone was granted a new United States patent relating to
certain elements of the handpiece for The Wand(R). The improvements covered by
the new patent afford the user greater tactile control over the handpieces and
needle and thereby assure precise needle placement.

ISSUANCE OF BROAD NEW UNITED STATES PATENT

In March 2001, Milestone officially was granted a broad new United States patent
and three related United States patents covering its CompuFlo(TM) technology, a
new technology for computer-controlled infusion of a wide array of liquid drugs
and other fluids, aspiration of bodily fluids and measurement of in-tissue
pressure. The CompuFlo(TM) technology is designed to reduce patient pain and
tissue tearing during injection procedures. Use of the CompuFlo(TM) technology
will provide doctors with real time feed-back of flow rate, volume injected and
tissue pressure. The technology automatically will collect clinical data on the
volume of drugs injected and treatment performed, creating a treatment record
that should help reduce medical errors in hospitals and medical offices. The
technology also can be adapted for home use devices. Devices using the new
technology will employ a newly developed single-use disposable handpiece. The
new technology was developed for Milestone by Dr. Mark Hochman, Milestone's
Director of Research and Development.

AGREEMENT WITH MEDIA SERVICES COMPANY TO BOOST EXPOSURE

In March 2001, Milestone signed an agreement with News USA, Inc. and Vested
Media Partners, Inc. to increase the awareness of healthcare professionals and
the public to the benefits of its The Wand(R) and CompuFlo(TM) technologies
Under the agreement, News USA is required to prepare, write and seek to place in
newspapers and other media, articles about Milestone's products and
technologies. News USA has guaranteed 72,000 media placements during the
18-month term of the agreement. In return for their services, News USA and
Vested Media Partners have received warrants for an aggregate of approximately
1,172,000 shares exercisable at prices increasing from $1.28 to $3.00 during the
3-year warrant term.

RESTRUCTURING OF EXISITNG DEBT

      10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes

In April 2001, the Company restructured its obligations to the holders of its
10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes, which reduced the Company's cash burden.
Under the terms of the agreement, each of the Noteholders agreed to exchange his
10% Notes for a new, zero coupon note (the "Zero Coupon Note") (a) paying
interest at 20% per annum until maturity on March 31, 2002, (b) having a face
amount equal to the outstanding principal owed to the noteholders plus accrued
interest and interest payable until maturity, (c) giving Milestone the option to
pay the face amount of the Zero Coupon Note in cash or in shares of Common
Stock, provided that the shares have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, (d) paying each noteholder 108% of the face amount of his Zero Coupon
Note, including unearned interest to maturity, if there is a change of control
of Milestone. Moreover, the warrants previously issued to the noteholders were
amended to provide for an exercise price of $1.75 per share up to the date of
maturity.

      20% Promissory Notes

In April 2001, the Company restructured its existing obligations to the holders
of its 20% Promissory Notes. The 20% Notes were amended to make them prepayable
with accrued interest (a) in cash at any time before maturity, (b) in shares of
Common Stock at any time after issuance but before July 31, 2002 if the Common
Stock, valued as set forth in the notes, is at least $5.00 per share, or (c) in
shares of Common Stock, valued as set forth in the notes, on or after July 31,
2002. Stock issued in payment of this debt will be valued at 85% of the then
market prices.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
(10%) of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file reports
of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%)
stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

      To the best of the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the

requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent
(10%) shareholders were complied with during 2000.

      On July 7, 1998, at his sole discretion, Mr. Osser implemented a voluntary
reduction of his annual base salary, reducing his annual base pay from $350,000
to $188,462. The voluntary reduction has been described by Mr. Osser as being
both temporary and having no effect upon his rights under his employment
agreement with the Company. Such reduction remained in effect until August 5,
2000. At that time, Mr. Osser began to defer his salary at the $350,000 annual
base. At December 31, 2000, his deferred compensation was $141,346.

Compensation of Directors

      Non-employee directors are granted, upon becoming a director, a five-year
option to purchase 20,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. They
receive no cash compensation. On July 31, 2000, each of the five independent
board members were granted 12,422 options at an exercise price of $2.19 per

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
    Milestone Scientific Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Milestone
Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Milestone
Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the
financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $7,509,855 and
$6,972,312 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash
used in operations amounted to $2,842,677 and $5,332,997 for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
also has a stockholders' deficit of $1,702,335 and its working capital is
$111,039. The Company's losses and limited capital resources raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans and
intentions regarding these matters are also discussed in Note B. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities:

      On February 1, 2000, warrants to purchase 142,857 shares at $1.75 per
      share were issued in connection with a $1,000,000 private placement of 10%
      notes. This resulted in a $226,519 debt discount and an equal increase in
      additional paid-in capital.

      Also in connection with the issuance of 10% notes on February 1, 2000, the
      Company repriced and extended the contractual life of 201,333 common stock
      purchase warrants (originally issued to advisors in 1997) and recorded
      $202,092 of deferred financing costs and an increase to additional paid-in
      capital.

      During 2000, warrants to purchase 70,000 shares at $3.00 per share (July
      31, 2000) and 80,000 shares at $1.25 per share (December 8, 2000) were
      issued in connection with the aggregate draw down of $900,000 of a
      $1,000,000 line of credit. This resulted in debt discounts of $136,046 and
      $76,375, respectively, and equal increases in additional paid-in capital.

      In December 1999, the Company recognized a $731,250 loss relating to the
      conversion of $2,250,000 of notes payable into common stock in January
      2000.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           December 31, 2000 and 1999

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

      Milestone Scientific Inc. (formerly U.S. Opportunity Search, Inc.) (the
      "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1989. The
      Company has developed a patented dental anesthetic delivery system that it
      markets directly to dental practitioners in the United States and to
      distributors in nondomestic markets for sale to practitioners principally
      in Canada, South Africa and Asia. The Company's products are manufactured
      by third-party contract manufacturers under agreements expiring at various
      times through 2001 and 2002.

NOTE B - LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

      The Company incurred net losses of $7,509,855 and $6,972,312 for the years
      ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Cash used in
      operations amounted to $2,842,677 and $5,332,997 for the years ended
      December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. As of December 31,
      2000, the Company also has a stockholders' deficit of $1,702,335 and its
      working capital is $111,039. These matters raise substantial doubt about
      the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
      continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including its
      ability to generate operating cash flow via execution of its business
      plan, and secure financing sufficient to provide for its immediate working
      capital needs.

      The Company's policy is to continually evaluate the recoverability of its
      assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
      United States of America. Due to the Company's history of generating
      losses on sales of its principal product, The Wand(R) , and uncertainty
      with respect to the predictability of future cash flows on product sales,
      the recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown
      in the accompanying balance sheets is in doubt. As a result of continued
      losses from operations, the Company determined that an impairment of
      certain assets has occurred. Accordingly, the Company recorded noncash
      charges of approximately $2,203,721 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
      representing the write-down of tooling equipment in the amount of $956,546
      and the unamortized portion of patents in the amount of $1,247,175.

      The Company is continuing to execute the business model described in Note
      A based on its belief that The Wand(R) is a major advance in dentistry and
      that it may ultimately become the preferred method of delivering local
      dental anesthesia. Accordingly, the Company has taken certain steps aimed
      at growing and strengthening the end user base of The Wand(R) including
      (i) restructuring its sales initiative in the United States by eliminating
      the use of distributors thereby permitting dentists in the United States
      to order The Wand(R) directly from the Company at more favorable prices,
      (ii) introducing The Wand(R) Plus drive unit with several enhancements
      including a cruise control feature and (iii) establishing relationships

NOTE B (continued)

      with distributors in markets in Canada, South Africa and Asia in an effort
      to increase sales in foreign markets. The Company has also initiated a
      cost reduction program including eliminating a key executive position and
      the Chief Executive Officer has voluntarily agreed to a deferral of his
      salary. Management believes that the above steps are critical to the
      realization of the Company's long-term business strategy; however,
      substantial funding is still required to execute the Company's business
      plan and there can be no assurance that the successful execution of such
      business plan will actually improve the Company's operating results.

      As of December 31, 2000, the Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit with
      a significant investor who is also the holder of a 10% secured promissory
      note. Such line of credit had availability of $100,000 as of December 31,
      2000 that was drawn down in January 2001. In addition, the Company also
      restructured its obligations to the holders of its 10% Secured Promissory
      Notes (Notes H and O), which has had the effect of reducing the Company's
      immediate cash needs relating to the repayment of principal and obtained
      $1,000,000 in new financing from existing major investors, including
      $500,000 under a line of credit in support of its demo program for The
      Wand(R)  and $500,000 from the private placement of 500,000 shares of
      common stock.

      Additional financing is still required in order for the Company to sustain
      its operations through December 31, 2001. Management believes it has
      access to potential sources of capital including the possible issuance of
      additional debt and equity securities to existing and new investors;
      however, there are currently no firm commitments in place for sufficient
      financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be
      successful in its efforts to raise sufficient capital needed within the
      time frame needed to sustain its operations through December 31, 2001.

NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      1.    Principles of Consolidation

            The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
            Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned
            subsidiary, Spintech. All significant intercompany balances and
            transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      2.    Cash and Cash Equivalents

            For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
            all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three
            months or less to be cash equivalents.

                           December 31, 2000 and 1999

NOTE C (continued)

      3.    Inventories

            Inventories principally consist of the current portion of advances
            to Tricor, the Company's contract manufacturer, in the amount of
            $700,000 for each of the years presented. Such advances will be
            drawn down as the Company places purchase orders with Tricor for the
            production of finished goods intended to be resold to dental
            practitioners. The remainder principally represents finished goods
            and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
            method) or market.

      4.    Property and Equipment

            Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated
            depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the
            straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
            which range from 3 to 7 years. The costs of maintenance and repairs
            are charged to operations as incurred.

      5.    Patents

            The excess of the Company's costs over the tangible net assets of
            Spintech has been allocated to patents and is being amortized over a
            period of ten years using the straight-line method (Note C-6).

      6.    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

            The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever
            circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication
            that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. As indicated in Note
            B, the Company believes that an impairment of certain assets has
            occurred. Accordingly, the Company recorded, in the fourth quarter,
            a noncash charge of $2,203,731 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
            representing the write-down of tooling equipment and patents
            resulting from losses relating to sales of its principal product,
            The Wand(R) .

      7.    Revenue Recognition

            Revenue is recognized when title passes at the time of shipment.

NOTE C (continued)

      8.    Research and Development

            Research and development costs are expensed as incurred

      9.    Income Taxes

            The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
            taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
            Under this method, deferred income taxes, when required, are
            provided on the basis of the difference between the financial
            reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities at the
            statutory rates enacted for future periods.

      10.   Loss Per Common Share

            Net loss per share is presented under Statement of Financial
            Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share."
            In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic and diluted net loss per
            share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares
            of common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive
            securities have been excluded from the computation, as their effect
            is antidilutive. If the Company had reported net income, diluted
            earnings per share would have included the shares used in the
            computation of net loss per share plus common equivalent shares
            related to 1,708,801 and 1,251,231 outstanding options and warrants
            for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      11.   Use of Estimates

            The preparation of the 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. Actual results could differ from those
            estimates.

      12.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

            The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash,
            accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based
            on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Notes payable to
            officer/stockholder and long-term notes payable approximate fair
            value due to the fact that the effective interest rates are
            comparable among the various noteholders.

NOTE C (continued)

      13.   Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

            The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statements of
            Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting
            for Stock Based Compensation," and therefore applies the intrinsic
            value method of accounting for employee stock options as prescribed
            under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"),
            "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB No. 25, when
            the exercise price of an employee stock option granted by the
            Company is equal to or greater than the market price of the
            underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
            recognized.

            Compensation is recognized on options and warrants issued to
            nonemployees based upon the fair value of the consideration received
            or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more
            reliably measurable.

      14.   Concentration of Credit Risk

            The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to
            concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
            equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its
            cash and cash equivalents with high quality credit institutions. At
            times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit
            Insurance Corporation insurance limit. The Company has not
            experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not
            exposed to any significant credit risks. Financial instruments which
            potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
            consist principally of trade accounts receivable as the Company does
            not require collateral or other securities to support customer
            receivables.

      15.   Reclassification

            The Company has reclassified certain amounts in the December 31,
            1999 financial statements in order to conform to the December 31,
            2000 presentation.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

      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

                           December 31, 2000 and 1999

NOTE D (continued)

      acquisition. The excess of net assets over cost has been applied to reduce
      the amounts assigned to noncurrent assets of the subsidiary. The operating
      results of Wisdom have been included in the Company's consolidated
      financial statements since the date of acquisition.

      In April 1999, the Company discontinued its selling effort with regard to
      the Wisdom product line, excluding SplatrFree(TM) prophy angles. The
      discontinued products generated net sales of $174,086 and an operating
      loss of $52,911 for the year ended December 31, 1999. In terminating the
      product line, the Company incurred $76,345 of expenses, including $19,291
      for uncollectible receivables, $15,692 in aggregate termination
      compensation and employee benefits, $5,066 for a lease buyout, $18,793 in
      previously unamortized acquisition costs and $17,503 to write off
      inventory. During 2000, the Company disposed of Wisdom's trade show
      display and recognized a loss of $17,783.

      The Company had a line of credit, which had originally been secured by the
      assets associated with the Wisdom product line. In June 1999, the Company
      obtained a thirty-day extension of its $250,000 line of credit with some
      temporary modifications, including a line reduction. On July 26, 1999, the
      Company notified its lender that the Company would no longer be utilizing
      the line and remitted the outstanding balance of $50,000.

      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
      was 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
      losses of Spintech have been included in the Company's consolidated
      financial statements since the date of acquisition. Because of recurring
      losses, the minority interest has been valued at zero for the years ended
      December 31, 2000 and 1999.

      On several occasions, during 1997, the Company offered, to those minority
      shareholders of Spintech who are accredited investors, the opportunity to
      exchange their Spintech shares for Milestone shares. The conversion offer
      ranged from 6.1 to 24.43 shares of Milestone common stock for 1 share of
      Spintech common stock. These offers were for restricted shares, and 1,017
      shares of Spintech were converted.

NOTE D (continued)

      Also, the Company 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, the Company since 1997 has annually exercised this option. The
      option exercised in 2000 increased the Company's ownership in Spintech to
      87.0%. Milestone's ownership was 75.9% as of December 31, 1999. The
      Company's ownership increased to 79.3% on February 10, 2000 when Ronald
      and Glen Spinello surrendered their 5,025 shares as part of a settlement
      agreement. The values of the converted shares and associated offering
      costs were recorded as patents.

      Inventory consists of the following:

      3% Convertible Notes

      In March 1999, the Company concluded a $2 million institutional private
      placement with Cumberland Partners, other investment funds managed by or
      affiliated with Cumberland Associates and certain principals of Cumberland
      Associates. An additional $250,000 was raised from the Chairman and Chief
      Executive Officer of Milestone, on the same terms and conditions. The
      investors purchased, at face value, 3% Senior Convertible Notes due 2003,
      convertible into Milestone Common Stock at prices increasing from $2.50
      per share in the first year to $6.00 per share in the fourth year, subject
      to anti- dilution protection in the event of stock dividends and certain
      capital changes. Purchasers of the Notes were granted rights to
      participate in certain future security offerings by Milestone Scientific
      Inc. and Subsidiaries.

NOTE H (continued)

      In December 1999, the holders of the 3% Convertible Notes agreed, and in
      February 2000 formalized the agreement, to convert all $2,250,000 of such
      notes into common stock at a modified price of $1.25 per share. Of the
      1,800,000 shares, which were to be issued, only the 200,000 shares to Mr.
      Osser are being held in escrow and pending shareholder approval.

      Since the scheduled conversion price was $2.50 per share, the Company
      recognized a noncash debt conversion expense of $731,250 in 1999.

      In September 1999, the Company issued 47,016 shares of Milestone Common
      Stock in lieu of cash of $36,438 in making the first semiannual interest
      payment, on the Senior Convertible Notes as permitted by the terms of the
      purchase agreement.

      10% Senior Secured Notes

      As of February 1, 2000, the Company concluded a $1,000,000 institutional
      private placement of its 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes due June 30,
      2001 and warrants to purchase 142,857 shares of Milestone Common Stock
      with Cumberland Associates LLC, Strategic Restructuring Partnership L.P.,
      a former principal of Cumberland Associates, the Chief Executive Officer
      and another key executive of the Corporation, an affiliate of one of its
      directors and six other individuals. These notes are secured by all
      present and future inventories of Milestone and are prepayable out of a
      portion of the proceeds generated by sales of The Wand(R).

      The warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.75 per share in the
      first year to $7.00 per share in the fifth year, subject to antidilution
      protection, if approved by the Board of Directors, in the event of stock
      dividends and certain capital changes. The relative fair market value of
      the warrants, which amounted to $292,857, was recorded as debt discount
      and is being amortized over the life of the related note obligations.
      Purchasers of the notes and warrants were also granted rights to
      participate in certain future security offerings by the Company.

      In addition, the Company also extended and repriced, to $1.25 per share,
      warrants for purchase of 201,333 shares of the Company's stock that were
      originally issued to the Company's law firm (in which a Director is a
      partner) for services they performed in connection with assisting the
      Company in obtaining the financing. The aggregate increase in the fair
      market value of the warrants, which amounts to $202,092, was recorded as a
      deferred financing cost and is being amortized over the life of the
      related note obligations.

NOTE H (continued)

      On April 5, 2000, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Director
      holding notes in the aggregate principal amounts of $250,000 and $50,000,
      respectively, agreed to defer all payments of principal and interest due
      to them until January 3, 2001.

      In April 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to restructure the
      remaining principal balance of $756,995 plus accrued interest (through the
      date of the restructuring agreement) as described in Note O.

      8% Promissory Note

      On July 31, 2000, the Company established a $1,000,000 credit facility
      with K. Tucker Andersen, a major investor. Initially, $500,000 was
      borrowed under the line. In December 2000, the Company borrowed an
      additional $400,000 and subsequently, in January 2001, the Company
      borrowed the remaining $100,000. The original $500,000 drawn down in July
      2000 is due on June 30, 2003 and the remaining $500,000 drawn down in
      December 2000 and January 2001 is due on December 31, 2003.

      In addition, the investor was also issued two separate five-year warrants
      for the purchase of 70,000 shares and 80,000 shares of common stock at
      exercise prices of $3.00 per share and $1.25 per share, respectively. The
      relative fair market value of the warrants, which in the aggregate
      amounted to $212,421 was recorded as a debt discount and is being
      amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the related
      notes. The investors were also granted additional warrants for 20,000
      shares exercisable at $1.25 per share in conjunction with the remaining
      $100,000 drawn down in January 2001.

      The Company may, at its own option, elect to convert $200,000 of the above
      notes into equity securities at any time up through May 31, 2003 in the
      event the Company completes a sale of such equity resulting in gross
      proceeds of at least $1,800,000, at a price per share substantially the
      same as those sold in such equity offering.

      20% Promissory Notes

      In August 2000, Milestone borrowed $1,000,000 from two funds managed by
      Cumberland Associates LLC pursuant to a two-year secured loan, bearing
      interest at 20% per annum, payable in cash, or through the issuance of
      additional 20% notes on which both interest and principal are payable at
      the maturity of the two-year secured loan. The loan is prepayable in cash
      at any time and is prepayable, with accrued interest, in Milestone common
      stock after March 31, 2001. Stock issued in payment of this debt will be
      valued at 85% of the then market prices.

NOTE H (continued)

      In October 2000, Milestone converted $18,333 in accrued into additional
      principal with interest payable at 20% per annum as provided for in the
      note agreement.

      In April 2001, the Company restructured its existing obligations to the
      holders of its 20% Promissory Notes as described in Note O.

NOTE I - STOCK OPTION PLAN

      In 1997, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 1997 Stock
      Option Plan. The 1997 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options
      to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In 1999,
      the Plan was amended, providing for the grant of options to purchase up to
      1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options may be granted to
      employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company for the
      purchase of common stock of the Company at a price not less than the fair
      market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. In general,
      options become exercisable over a three-year period from the grant date
      and expire five years after the date of grant.

      The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting
      and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The
      Company applies the intrinsic value method prescribed under Accounting
      Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
      for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company recorded
      compensation expense of $31,055 representing the fair market value of the
      Company's common stock in excess of the exercise price relating to the
      vested portion of stock options issued to Directors during the year ended
      December 31, 2000. No compensation expense was recorded during the year
      ended December 31, 1999, since the exercise prices of stock options issued
      to employees and Directors were equal to the fair market values of the
      Company's common stock on the date of grant.

      If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon
      the fair value at the grant date, consistent with the methodology
      prescribed by SFAS No. 123, pro forma net loss and net loss per share to
      common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 would
      have increased to the following pro forma amounts:

      The weighted-average fair value of the individual options granted during
      2000 and 1999 was estimated as $1.73 and $1.45, respectively, on the date
      of grant. The fair value for 2000 and 1999 was determined using a
      Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

NOTE J - EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION

      The Company has a five-year employment contract with its Chief Executive
      Officer ("CEO") providing for an annual base compensation of up to
      $350,000, plus stock options and cash bonuses based upon attaining certain
      earnings levels, which the Company has not yet achieved.

      In July 1998, the CEO agreed to a voluntary reduction of his annual base
      salary from $350,000 to approximately $188,000 that remained in effect
      through August 2000. At that time, the CEO agreed to defer his annual
      salary on a discretionary basis. Accordingly, the Company has recorded
      deferred compensation payable to the CEO in the amount of $141,346 that is
      payable upon demand. The CEO reserves the right to resume his normal
      salary payments (pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement) at any
      time.

NOTE K - INCOME TAXES

      Deferred tax attributes resulting from differences between financial
      accounting amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities are as follows:

NOTE K (continued)

      As of December 31, 2000, the Company has Federal and State net operating
      loss carryforwards of approximately $29,000,000 that will be available to
      offset future taxable income, if any through December 2020. The
      utilization of the Company's net operating losses may be subject to a
      substantial limitation due to the "change of ownership provisions" under
      Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
      Such limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss
      carryforwards before their utilization. The Company has established a 100%
      valuation allowance to reserve for all of its net deferred tax assets due
      to the uncertainty that their benefit will be realized in the future.

      The provision for income taxes differs from the effective tax rate used in
      the financial statements as a result of current year net operating losses,
      the benefit of which has not been recognized in the current year.

Year ending December 31,
    2001                                                            $129,000

      Contract Manufacturing Agreements

      The Company has informal arrangements for the manufacture of The Wand(R)
      unit and system kit with Tricor Systems, Inc. ("Tricor") and for the
      manufacture of The Wand(R) disposable handpiece by Nypro Inc. under

                           December 31, 2000 and 1999

NOTE M (continued)

      The termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of the above
      manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
      ability to produce and sell its products. Though alternate sources of
      supply exist and new manufacturing relationships could be established, the
      Company 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 the Company.

NOTE N - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The Company paid $191,501 and $131,632 during the years ended December 31,
      2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, to a law firm where one of the
      partners is also on the Company's Board of Directors. The law firm and the
      Director also participated in the February 2001 private placement (Note
      H), each purchasing $50,000 of 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes and
      warrants to purchase 7,143 shares of Milestone Common Stock.

NOTE O - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      DEBT RESTRUCTURING

      10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes

      In April 2001, the Company restructured its obligations to the holders of
      its 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the agreement,
      each of the noteholders agreed to exchange their 10% Notes for a new, zero
      coupon note (the "Zero Coupon Note") (a) paying interest at 20% per annum
      until maturity on March 31, 2002, (b) having a face amount equal to the
      outstanding principal owed to the noteholders plus accrued interest and
      interest payable until maturity, (c) giving Milestone the option to pay
      the face value of the notes in cash or in shares of common stock, provided
      that the shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and
      (d) paying each noteholder 108% of the face value of his Zero Coupon Note,
      including unearned interest to maturity, if there is a change of control
      of Milestone. Moreover, the warrants previously issued to the noteholders
      were amended to provide for an exercise price of $1.75 per share up to the
      date of maturity.

NOTE O (continued)

      20% Promissory Notes

      In April 2001, the Company restructured its existing obligations to the
      holders of its 20% Promissory Notes. The 20% Promissory Notes were amended
      to make them prepayable with accrued interest (a) in cash at any time
      before maturity, (b) in shares of common stock at any time after issuance
      but before July 31, 2002 if the common stock, valued as set forth in the
      notes, is at least $5.00 per share, or (c) in shares of common stock,
      valued as set forth in the notes, on or after July 31, 2002. Stock issued
      in payment of this debt will be valued at 85% of then market prices.

      $1,000,000 IN NEW FINANCING

      During the first quarter of 2001, Milestone received $1,000,000 in new
      financing from existing major investors, $500,000 pursuant to a line of
      credit in support of its demo program for The Wand(R) and $500,000 from
      the private placement of 500,000 shares of common stock. Milestone will
      pay a 2% facility fee on the line of credit and interest at the rate of
      10% per annum on monies borrowed. In addition, the lender received a
      warrant for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of Milestone's common
      stock at a per share purchase price of $1.10.

      EQUITY LINE COMMITMENT

      In January 2001, Milestone entered into a three-year private equity line
      agreement with Hillgreen Investments Limited ("Hillgreen"), a British
      Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which Hillgreen is obligated to
      purchase, subject to the fulfillment of specified conditions, up to 2.1
      million shares of Milestone common stock over the next 36 months.
      Hillgreen has allocated up to $20 million to fund its purchase
      obligations. The transaction was arranged by Jesup & Lamont Securities
      Corporation, a New York-based investment banking firm. Milestone's right
      to draw upon this facility is subject to a number of limitations and
      conditions, including a limitation on the amounts sold to Hillgreen within
      specified periods, and the effectiveness of a resale registration
      statement covering the securities to be purchased. Subject to these and
      other conditions and limitations, Milestone will have full control over
      the timing of any financing under the equity line and is under no
      obligation to sell any shares to Hilllgreen. Any shares that are sold will
      be priced at 87.5% of the volume weighted average market price of
      Milestone common stock during a fixed period prior to the sale. Milestone
      has discretion to establish a floor price below which shares will not be
      sold by Milestone to Hillgreen.

applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company as of their respective dates. Since September 30,
2000, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, financial
condition or results of operations of the Company except that the Company has
continued to operate at a loss. Other than the liabilities set forth in the
financial statements included in the SEC Filings and liabilities which have
arisen after September 30, 2000 in the ordinary course of business, the Company
has no material liability, except as follows:

            (a) In December 2000, we borrowed $400,000 from K. Tucker Andersen
under a purchase and line of credit agreement dated as of July 31, 2000. The
loan bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on December 31, 2003. In
addition, Mr. Andersen received warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of our common
stock, exercisable at $1.25 per share, which was the fair market value of a
share on the date of grant.

            (b) On January 26, 2001, we borrowed the remaining $100,000
available to us under the above-mentioned purchase and line of credit agreement
with Mr. Andersen. On that date, Mr. Andersen also received warrants to purchase
20,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at $1.6875 per share, which was
the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

            (c) On January 19, 2001, the Company entered into a Private Equity
Line of Credit Agreement with Hillgreen Investments Limited, a British Virgin
Islands Corporation ("Hillgreen"), pursuant to which Hillgreen has agreed to
purchase up to 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock over a 36 month period. During
such period, the Company may request a drawdown under the equity line of credit
by putting shares of our common stock to Hillgreen, and Hillgreen will be
obligated to purchase the shares the Company puts to it, subject to exceptions
set forth in the agreement. During the 20 business days following a drawdown
notice, the number of shares to be sold and the price per share, which will be
87.5% of the volume


                                       4
<PAGE>

weighted average price of the Common Stock for such period, will be calculated.
Upon the exercise of each drawdown, the Company will receive the amount of the
drawdown less a fee payable to legal counsel for Hillgreen and less a brokerage
fee payable to Jesup & Lamont Securities Corporation ("Jessup & Lamont"), the
placement agent that introduced the Company to Hillgreen. In addition, the
Company granted to Hillgreen a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
Stock and granted to Jesup & Lamont a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of
Common Stock. On January 31, 2001, the Company filed with the SEC a registration
statement on Form S-2, the effectiveness of which is pending, to permit
Hillgreen to resell shares of Common Stock which it may purchase under the
equity line of credit agreement, and to permit Hillgreen and Jesup & Lamont to
resell shares of Common Stock that they receive if they should exercise their
warrants.

            4.7 Due Authorization. The issuance of the Notes and Warrants has
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and when issued will be
the legal and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
or in respect of interest payable on the Notes have been duly authorized and
reserved for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants or issued in respect of interest payable on the Notes, as applicable,
will be fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any restrictions on
transfer (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") and state securities laws), taxes, security
interests, options, warrants, purchase rights, contracts, commitments, equities,
claims, and demands.

            4.8 Securities Law Exemption. Assuming the accuracy of Lenders'
representations and warranties set forth herein, the issuance of the Notes and
Warrants pursuant to this Agreement has been made in accordance with the
provisions and requirements of Regulation D ("Regulation D") or ss.4(6) under
the Securities Act and any applicable state law.

            4.9 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the line of credit will be
used for general corporate purposes and shall be withdrawn from the Account only
in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph 1.4 above.

            4.10 Compliance with Laws. The Company is in compliance in all
material respects with all occupational safety, health, wage and hour,
employment discrimination, environmental, flammability, labeling, usury and
other applicable laws which are material to its businesses, and the Company is
not aware of any state of facts, events, conditions or occurrences which may now
or hereafter constitute or result in a violation of any of such applicable laws,
or which may give rise to the assertion of any such violation, the effect of
which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business,
operations and financial condition.

            4.11 Licenses and Permits. The Company has obtained all federal,
state and local licenses and permits required to be maintained in connection
with and material to its operations, and all such licenses and permits obtained
are valid and in full force and effect.

            4.12 Existing Registration Rights. Except for the Registration
Rights Agreement referred to in Paragraph 7 hereof, and the registration rights
given to Hillgreen Investments Limited ("Hillgreen") in connection with the
Private Equity Line of Credit


                                       5

Agreement by and between the Company and Hillgreen, dated January 19, 2001, the
Company is not a party to any agreement under which it is obligated to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act.

            4.13 Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Etc. The Company owns or
validly licenses all patents, patent rights, patent applications, licenses, shop
rights, trademarks, trademark applications, tradenames, copyrights and other
proprietary information (collectively "Rights") used in the conduct of its
business as currently being conducted. To the actual knowledge of the Company,
the conduct of its business as currently being conducted does not conflict with
valid rights of others in any way, nor has any material use been made of the
Rights, except by the Company or by other entities duly licensed to use the
same.

            4.14 No Other Representations. The Company shall not be deemed to
have made any representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or
indemnifications pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether
express or implied, except to the extent that such representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements or indemnifications are made in this Agreement or the
Schedules hereto or in any certificate or other agreement, document or
instrument delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

            5. Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby
represents and warrants to the Company, which representations and warranties
shall be true and correct as of the date hereof, as follows:

            5.1 Authorization of Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action
on his part, does not violate any laws or regulations applicable to him and is
the valid binding and enforceable obligation of his in accordance with its
terms.

            5.2 Non-contravention. Neither the execution and the delivery of
this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
will (a) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction,
judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government,
governmental agency, or court to which he is subject or (b) conflict with,
result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration
of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel,
or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument,
or other arrangement to which he is a party or by which he is bound or to which
any of his assets are subject.

            5.3 Accredited Investor. He is an "accredited investor" as that term
is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act, and the rules promulgated
thereunder.

            5.4 Investment. He acknowledges that this offering of Notes and
Warrants has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") and that the sale of the Notes and Warrants pursuant hereto
is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Paragraphs 4(2), 4(6) or 3(b)
of the Securities Act. Lender represents that the Notes or Warrants are being
purchased by him for his own account, for investment and not for distribution or
resale to others. Lender agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the
Notes, Warrants or the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants


                                       6
<PAGE>

unless such securities, as the case may be, are registered under the Securities
Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Lender
understands that neither the Notes, Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the Securities
Act and they are or will be issued pursuant to a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.

            5.5 Access to Data. Lender has been given copies of the SEC Filings
and has had an opportunity to review same. Lender has had an opportunity to
discuss the SEC Filings and the Company's business, management and financial
affairs with the Company's management and the opportunity to review the
Company's facilities, each to Lender's satisfaction. Lender understands that
such discussions, as well as any written information issued or provided by the
Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company's business and
prospects which the Company believes to be material but were not necessarily a
thorough or exhaustive description thereof.

            5.6 Speculative Nature of Investment. Lender acknowledges that the
purchase of the Notes and Warrants involves a high degree of risk and that (i)
an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can
afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the
Company and purchasing Notes and Warrants; (ii) Lender may not be able to
liquidate his investment; (iii) transferability of the Notes, Warrants and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is extremely
limited; and (iv) Lender could sustain the loss of his entire investment.

            5.7 Experience. Lender acknowledges that he has prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or
has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to
review all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company and to
evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on Lender's behalf.

            5.8 Lack of Liquidity. Lender understands that there is no public
market for the Notes or Warrants.

            5.9 Legends. Lender consents to the placement of a legend on the
Notes, Warrants, and shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of the Warrants,
provided they are not then covered by an effective Registration Statement, all
as set forth in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.

            5.10 Commitment Fee. On the Maturity Date of the Notes (as defined
in Paragraph 3 of the Notes), the Company shall pay to each Lender a commitment
fee of 2% of the principal amount borrowed from the Lender.

            5.11 Registered Representative. Lender acknowledges that if he is a
Registered Representative of a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") member firm, he must give such firm the notice required by the NASD
Conduct Rules, or any applicable successor rules of the NASD receipt of which
must be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.

            5.12 No Other Representations. Lender hereby represents that, except
as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to the
Lender by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and in
entering into this transaction, Lender is not relying on any information, other
than that contained herein, that contained in the SEC Filings and the results of
independent investigation by the Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have made
any representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or indemnifications
pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether express or implied,
except to the extent that such representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements or indemnifications are made in this Agreement or the Schedules
hereto or in any certificate or other agreement, document or instrument
delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

            5.13 No Broker. There is no firm, corporation, agency or other
entity or person that is entitled to a finder's fee or any type of commission in
relation to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement as a result of any agreement or understanding with Lender or any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents.

            6. Legends. The Notes and Warrants shall be endorsed with the
following legend:

      THIS SECURITY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") SHALL HAVE BECOME
EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO OR (II) RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER NOR IS
IN VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS LEGEND SHALL BE
ENDORSED UPON ANY NOTE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS NOTE.

      THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT, DATED
AS OF MARCH 9, 2001, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF
MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.

a registration rights agreement, substantially in the form annexed hereto as

            8. Confidentiality. Lenders covenants and agrees that none of

to the extent required by law.

            9. Affirmative Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the

      (a) In the event of a registration of any of the Registerable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless Purchasers, and each other person, if any, who controls a
Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which Purchasers or such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, or actions in
respect thereof, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registerable Securities was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 2 above, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereunder, and will reimburse Purchasers, and each such
controlling person, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, action or expense; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information, pertaining to Purchasers, as such, furnished in writing by
Purchasers specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

      (b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registerable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 above, each Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company
who signs the registration statement and each director of the Company, against
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or such officer, director, or controlling person may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof, arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in the registration statement under which such Registerable Securities was
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 above, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will


                                       4
<PAGE>

reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, and controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
provided, however, that a Purchaser shall be liable hereunder in any such case
if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information pertaining to such Purchaser, as such, furnished in writing to the
Company by such Purchaser specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus; and provided further, however, that the liability of such Purchaser
hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering
price of the Registerable Securities sold by such Purchaser under such
registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all
securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the proceeds received
by such Purchaser from the sale of Registerable Securities covered by such
registration statement.

      (c) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified hereunder of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify
the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party other than under this Section 6 and shall only relieve it
from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this
Section 6 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 6 for any legal expense subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided,
however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if
the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with
the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties shall have the
right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and
otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation
to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party,
in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of
the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party as a release from all liability
in respect of such claim or litigation.

      (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) a Purchaser,
exercising its rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of such
Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification


                                       5
<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 6 but it is judicially determined, by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal, that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case, the fact that this Section 6
provides for indemnification in such case notwithstanding, or (ii) contribution
under the Securities Act may be required on the part of a Purchaser or any
controlling person with respect to such Purchaser in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section 6, then and in each such case,
the Company and such Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject, after contribution from
others, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss,
claim, damage or liability, as well as any other equitable considerations.
Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact relates to the information supplied by the indemnifying party or
the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, however, that in any such case, (x) such Purchaser will not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all
such Registerable Securities offered by it pursuant to such registration
statement; and (y) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation,
within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, will be entitled to

                  Re: Milestone 20% Secured Promissory Notes

Dear Bruce:

      As per my conversation with Barry Konig, Milestone hereby offers to
exchange new 20% Secured Promissory Notes (the "New Notes") for the 20% Secured
Promissory Notes (the "Old Notes") now held by Cumberland Benchmarked Partners,
L.P. and LongView Partners A, L.P. The New Notes will be identical to the Old
Notes, except that Paragraph 2 will be revised to prevent prepayment of the New
Notes in common stock until July 31, 2002 unless the stock issued in prepayment
is valued at $5.00 or more under the New Notes. Paragraph 2 of the New Notes
will read as follows:

      "2. Principal Payments. The Principal Amount of this Note and any Interest
      Payment Note and any accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on
      the Maturity Date (as defined in Paragraph 3 below) in such coin or
      currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall
      be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts ("cash") or,
      at the option of the Maker, in shares of Common Stock, valued as set forth
      in Paragraph 7. The Maker shall have the option to prepay the Principal
      Amount and the Principal Amount of all related Interest Payment Notes, if
      any, together with accrued interest on all such notes to the payment date
      (a) in cash at any time before the Maturity Date, (b) in shares of Common
      Stock at any time after issuance but before July 31, 2002 if the Common
      Stock, valued as set forth in Paragraph 7, is at least $5.00 per share, or
      (c) in shares of Common Stock, valued as set forth in Paragraph 7, on or
      after July 31, 2002."

            Re:   Milestone Scientific Inc. ("Milestone")
                  Purchase of 500,000 shares of Common Stock

Dear Mr. Gintel:

      This will confirm that Milestone has agreed to sell to you, and that you
have agreed to purchase from Milestone, 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of
Milestone's common stock, par value $.001 per share, for the sum of $500,000.
Further, Milestone will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission no later than June 30, 2001, and to cause to
become effective, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") on Form S-3, and under any applicable state
securities laws, registering the reoffer, resale or other disposition of the
Shares.

      This also will confirm that (i) you are an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 215 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act,
and (ii) you have acquired the Shares for investment and acknowledge that they
cannot be resold or otherwise disposed of until they are registered under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from
registration is available.

      Since the Shares will not be registered at the time of issuance, the
certificates representing the Shares delivered to you will bear the following
legend:

      THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
      THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT
      AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
      EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THESE SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
      OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
      REQUIRED UNDER THE SAID ACT.

Attn: Thomas Stuckey, Chief Financial Officer

                   Re: Milestone Scientific Inc. ("Milestone")

Dear Sirs:

      The undersigned hereby provide the following undertaking in connection
with your audit of the financial statements of the above corporation for year
ended December 31, 1999.

      1.    Leonard Osser ("Osser") hereby agrees to open a $200,000 Line of
            Credit for benefit of Milestone. There shall be no facility fee.
            However, Borrowings under the line shall bear interest at the rate
            of 9% per annum, payable at maturity. The Line of Credit shall end
            on December 31, 2000 and all the borrowings then outstanding shall
            be paid by February 1, 2001. Milestone shall draw-down amounts
            against the line by providing Osser with written notice at his home
            address and funds shall be provided within 7 days of notice.

      2.    If Milestone shall provide Osser with notice that it reasonably
            expects to require funds in excess of those available to it under
            the above Line of Credit prior to December 31, 2000, then upon
            receipt of such notice Osser will begin to defer the entire base
            salary to which he is presently entitled under his employment
            agreement. On the commencement of that deferral, his present
            agreement to waive a portion of his salary shall be canceled and
            extinguished and the deferral shall be in the full amount of his
            salary without regard to that prior salary reduction. All amounts
            deferred shall be payable by Milestone on January 3, 2001.

      3.    Osser hereby guarantees the payment in full of all amounts owed to
            Milestone by Dentmate, Inc. (Milestone's Taiwanese distributor) and
            IME Corporation (Milestone's China distributor) whether now owing or
            owing at any time prior to December 31, 2000.

      4.    Osser hereby agrees to defer until January 3, 2001 all prepayments
            owed to him under the 10% Secured Promissory Notes issued in
            February 2000.

      5.    Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander, LLP, hereby agrees to defer until
            January 3, 2001, all payment owed to it on $50,000 face amount of
            the 10% secured Promissory Note issued in February, 2000.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         /s/ Leonard Osser

                                    AGREEMENT

            AGREEMENT made as of this 28th day of February, 2001 among MILESTONE
SCIENTIFIC, INC. ("MS"), VESTED MEDIA PARTNERS, INC. ("VMPI") and NEWS USA, INC.
("NU").

            1. NU will, during the term of this agreement, provide the following
advertising and promotional services to MS:

      a.    Prepare, write, print or otherwise publish and provide proof of
            placement of the articles and advertisements detailed below.

      b.    Prepare and cause publication of an aggregate of 60 tabloid pages
            and 60 timed radio segments of articles and advertisements for MS
            and its products and technology. For purposes hereof a tabloid page
            shall be a page containing 8 assorted size news articles per page
            and a timed radio segments shall be at least 60 seconds long. The
            editorial content of the tabloid pages and radio segments shall also
            be distributed to at least 5,000 Websites.

      c.    NU will provide to MS, within 10 days after the end of each calendar
            month, a detailed report as to newspaper, radio station and Website
            placements of the above material. The monthly reports will be
            accompanied by physical clippings from newspapers, air-checks from
            radio stations and other documentation showing the actual placement
            of articles and advertisements. The reports will also detail
            placements by DMA Market, specify the number of placements in that
            month and since the inception of this agreement and the "ad value"
            equivalent".

NU guarantees that the articles and advertisements in (a) and (b) will have at
least 72,000 placements in newspapers and radio stations, as well as parallel
distribution to Websites.

            2. MS hereby agrees to promptly comment on articles and ads
submitted to it and, after its comments are reflected, to promptly approve
finished copy to support NU in its placement activities. Without limitation of
the foregoing, upon receipt of notice from NU that placement is being delayed or
impeded by failure of MS to approve copy, MS will respond to such notice within
48 hours.

            3. In full payment for the services to be rendered by NU hereunder
MS will issue three-year Warrants to purchase 1,171,875 shares of Common Stock,
585,938 to NU and at NU's direction, 585,938 to VMPI. The Warrants will be
exercisable at the following prices

              $1.28 during the first 18 months of the Warrant Term

              $2.25 during the next 9 months of the Warrant Term

              $3.00 during the final 9 months of the Warrant Term

      The Warrants shall be non-transferable and the stock issued on exercise
      thereof shall be restricted stock and bear an appropriate restrictive
      legend. However, Milestone shall, promptly after the date hereof, file a
      Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
      allowing the resale of the underlying shares and use its best efforts to
      make such registration effective at the earliest possible date.
      Notwithstanding any registration of the shares, VMPI shall not sell any of
      the underlying shares for a period of one year hereafter and NU shall not
      sell any shares for a period of 4 months hereafter. The lock-up shall be
      waived with respect to 50% of the shares held by each of VMPI and NU, if
      the MS Common Stock trades at prices equal to or greater than $6.25 per
      share for a period of 20 consecutive

<PAGE>

      trading days. The Warrants shall not have any "cashless" exercise
      provision but may be exercised from time to time in the discretion of NU
      and VMPI without limitations as to the number of shares covered in any
      exercise, except that twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrants held by NU
      and VMPI shall not be exercisable until MS Common Stock trades at a price
      of at least $2.25 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

            4. NU shall have the right, in its discretion, during the fourth
month of this agreement, to halt distribution of articles and ads until the
ninth month after execution hereof if the average daily closing price during the
first 10 trading days of that 30 day period does not exceed $2.25, provided that
NU has previously met 1/3 of its total commitment to prepare articles and ads
for client approval. While NU has halted distribution 2/3 of the Warrants
granted hereunder to NU and VMPI shall not be exercisable. NU shall recommence
performance of its obligations whenever the average closing price for a 10-day
period exceeds $2.25. If at the end of the ninth month the stock has not
averaged a $2.25 closing price for a 10 day period NU can either terminate its
obligations hereunder and forfeit 2/3 of the Warrants or resume performance
completing 1/2 of the unperformed obligation in 3 months and the balance in 6
months and retain its Warrants, in either case upon written notice to Milestone
not more than 5 days after the end of such ninth month. If, following a halt in
distribution by NU, NU recommences performance, then the Warrant Exercise Price
shall be re-set to be the greater of the prices set forth in paragraph 3, above
or the average closing price during the 10 days prior to the resumption of
performance by NU.

            5. The term of this agreement shall be 18 months commencing on the
date hereof.

            6. This agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties and all prior understandings or discussions are merged herein. This
agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of New Jersey and any
disputes among the parties shall be resolved in the courts of that State.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this agreement the day
and year first above written.

                                        MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC, INC.
