                   Milestone Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 2001

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

      These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
      2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The
      accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the
      same as those described in the December 31, 2000 financial statements.

      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
      consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
      normal recurring entries) necessary to present fairly the financial
      position as of March 31, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows
      for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

      The results reported for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results of operations, which may be expected
      for a full year.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America. The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations. In
      addition, at March 31, 2001 the Company has a working capital deficiency
      of $544,541 and a stockholders' deficit of $2,247,979. The Company has
      used cash from operations of $452,825 for the three months ended March 31,
      2001. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
      continue as a going concern.

      The Company is continuing to execute its business model which is 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
      with distributors in markets in Europe, Canada, South Africa and Asia in
      an effort to increase sales in foreign markets. 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 The Wand(R) and Compuflo(TM) technologies. The Company also
      has initiated a cost reduction program which includes eliminating a key
      executive position and the Chief Executive Officer has voluntarily


                                       8
<PAGE>

      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.

      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
      condensed consolidated 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 $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.

      At March 31, 2001, Milestone had $568,471 in cash, and working capital
      deficiency of $544,541. Several steps have been taken to improve liquidity
      and meet Milestone's working capital needs. As further described in Note
      4, the Company (i) restructured its obligations to the holders of its 10%
      Secured Promissory Notes, which has had the effect of reducing the
      Company's immediate cash needs relating to the repayment of principal,
      (ii) borrowed the remaining $100,000 from the $1,000,000 line of credit,
      (iii) borrowed $250,000 on a newly obtained $500,000 line of credit and
      (iv) received $500,000 from the sale of 500,000 shares of common stock. 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
      2,100,000 shares of Milestone common stock over the next 36 months.
      Hillgreen has allocated $20,000,000 to fund its purchase obligations.

NOTE 3 - LOSS PER SHARE

      Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number
      of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed
      using the weighted average common shares outstanding after giving effect
      to potential common stock equivalents, plus any other potentially dilutive
      securities outstanding, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the assumed exercise
      of certain dilutive options and warrants were anti-dilutive. Accordingly,
      basic and diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average common
      shares outstanding.

      Options and warrants, in aggregate, to purchase 560,625 shares of common
      stock were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2001 but were
      not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the
      effect would have been anti-dilutive. This includes options to purchase
      50,000 shares of common stock issued to Milestone's CEO, Leonard Osser,
      at fair value.

NOTE 4 - REVOLVING CREDIT LINE and NOTES PAYABLE

      Debt Restructuring

      10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes

      In March 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 repriced back to the initial exercise price of $1.75 per share at the
      date of grant.

      $1,000,000 in New Financing

      During the first quarter of 2001 and through two major existing investors,
      Milestone obtained a $500,000 line of credit which matures on August 31,
      2002 in support of its demo program for The Wand(R) and received $500,000
      from the sale 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 connection with obtaining the line of credit,
      the lender received warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at
      an exercised price of $1.69 and an aggregate estimated fair value of
      $80,000. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had drawn down $250,000 from
      the line of credit.

      Year 2000 Financing

      Note Payable to Officer/stockholder

      Notes payable to officer/stockholder represents a note payable to the
      Company's Chief Executive Officer with interest payable at 9% per annum.
      The $200,000 principal balance of the note originally was due on February
      1, 2001. The Chief Executive Officer has agreed to extend the due date for
      the payment of principal to June 15, 2001.

      10% Senior Secured Promissory 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 collateralized by all
      present and future inventories of Milestone and were originally prepayable
      out of a portion of the proceeds generated by sales of The Wand(R). As
      described above, these notes were restructured in March 2001.

      8% Promissory Note

      On July 31, 2000, the Company established a $1,000,000 credit facility
      with a major existing 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,


                                       10
<PAGE>

      2003 and the remaining $500,000 drawn down in aggregate during December
      2000 and January 2001 is due on December 31, 2003.

      In addition, the investor was issued in 2000, 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 investor also was 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 estimated value of the
      20,000 warrants was $23,400 and was record as a debt discount and is being
      amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the related
      notes.

      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 bearing interest at 20% per annum, with
      principal and interest due in October 2002. After March 31, 2001, at the
      option of the Company, upon written notice to the noteholders, in lieu of
      principal and interest, the Company may issue common stock at .85% of the
      market price. In October 2000, Milestone converted $18,333 in accrued
      interest into additional principal with interest payable at 20% per annum
      as provided for in the note agreement. In January 2001, Milestone
      converted $51,111 in accrued interest into additional principal.

      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
      2,100,000 shares of Milestone common stock over the next 36 months.
      Hillgreen has allocated $20,000,000 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..
      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 by Milestone to Hillgreen.

      NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

      In March 2001, the Company entered into an advertising agreement with News
      USA, Inc. and Vested Media Partners, Inc. (the "Agreement") to increase
      the awareness of healthcare professionals and the public to the benefits
      of The Wand(R) and the CompuFlo(TM) technologies. Under the Agreement,
      News USA is required to prepare articles and


                                       11
<PAGE>

      advertisements for the Company's products and technologies and place them
      in newspapers and on radio stations. News USA has guaranteed 72,000 media
      placements during the 18-month term of the Agreement. In exchange for
      these services the Company granted warrants to purchase 1,171,875 shares
      of common stock exercisable on the following dates and prices over the
      life of the Agreement; (1) $1.28 during the first 18 months, (2) $2.25
      during the next nine months and (3) $3.00 during the next nine months.

      The Agreement provides for a termination clause in the fourth month if the
      Company's average closing stock price does not exceed $2.25 during the
      first ten days of the fourth month provided that the Company has received
      24,000 publications. Accordingly, the remaining two-thirds of the warrants
      to purchase the Company's common stock would not become exercisable.
      However, the vendor can recommence producing the publications whenever the
      Company's average closing stock price for a ten day period exceeds $2.25.
      At the end of the ninth month at the option of the vendor, if the
      Company's stock price has not averaged $2.25 for a ten day period, the
      Agreement can be terminated and accordingly two-thirds of the warrants
      remaining to purchase the Company's common stock will be forfeited or the
      vendor could resume fulfilling one-half of its obligation in three months
      and the remaining obligation in the next six months.

      As of March 31, 2001, the Company recorded unearned advertising cost of
      $324,218 which represents the estimated fair value of the 390,625 of the
      warrants for one-third of the total warrants granted based on the 24,000
      minimum placements. The unearned advertising costs will be amortized as
      publications are received by the Company over the minimum placements. The
      estimated fair value of the remaining warrants to purchase 781,250 of the
      Company's common stock have not been recorded in the Company's
      consolidated financial statements due to the likelihood that the Agreement
      will not be fulfilled.

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

      During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company achieved five
      major objectives. As mentioned above, it received $850,000 in new
      financing from existing major investors, and restructured approximately
      $756,000 of existing debt and obtained an equity commitment subject to
      certain conditions for up to 2,100,000. 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.

Three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to three months ended March 31, 2000

Statement of Operations

      Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000
      were $1,262,371 and $1,410,793, respectively. The $148,422 or 11% decrease
      is attributable primarily to several transactions unique to the first
      quarter of 2000 when the Company launched the sale of The Wand(R) in
      Japan, partnered with a domestic distributor in a promotional sales effort
      and availed to its best customers the first time opportunity to purchase
      refurbished units of The Wand(R) at a special discounted price. These
      efforts generated revenues of approximately $284,000, $58,000 and $70,000,
      respectively. The decrease was partially offset by a $56,750 or 13%
      increase in domestic handpiece sales. Domestic unit sales were slightly
      higher as the Company began transitioning from a sales force to an
      independent sales force.

      Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000
      were $571,837 and $639,708, respectively. The $67,871 decrease is
      attributable primarily to lower foreign and promotional unit sales volume
      and $94,000 in depreciation of tooling equipment during the first quarter
      of 2000. The tooling equipment was written off during the fourth quarter
      of 2000. The decrease was partially offset by the recovery in the first
      quarter of 2000 of approximately $120,000 in previously written down
      inventory.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company generated a gross
      profit of $690,534 or 54.7% as compared to a gross profit of $771,085 or
      54.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
      March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $1,813,548 and $1,635,327, respectively. The
      $178,221 increase is attributable primarily to 92,308 shares issued for
      service rendered with a value of $150,000 in non-cash compensation;
      $177,000 increase in legal fees associated with restructured loan
      agreements, equity and advertising agreements; its medical patents
      registration; and additional patents on The Wand(R) and CompuFlo(TM)
      technologies; a $40,500 increase in the CEO salary which was his approved
      base salary in 1998 and which is being completely deferred and a $40,000
      increase in professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a
      $123,000 decrease in expenses associated with the sale and marketing of
      The Wand(R).


                                       13

      Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31,
      2001 and March 31, 2000 were $18,718 and $101,200, respectively. The
      $82,482 difference is the result of higher costs incurred during the first
      quarter of 2000, which were associated with the development of product
      improvements and the medical unit.

      The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
      2000 were $1,101,732 and $965,442, respectively.

      In February 2000, the Company executed a settlement of the lawsuit between
      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 80,000 shares of common stock to him and 8,000
      shares of common stock to Glen Spinello. Since the market price of the
      shares was $2.3125 per share, the Company recognized a $228,500 expense.
      The Company received from the Spinello's 5,025 shares of Spintech common
      stock, a subsidiary of Milestone.

      The Company incurred interest expense of $195,015 for the three months
      ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $20,153 of interest expense for the
      same period for calendar 2000. The difference is attributable to higher
      average borrowings in 2001 and $95,014 in amortization of the debt
      discount and deferred financing costs which is associated with the
      detachable warrants from the financing described below.

      The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,335,323 as
      compared to a net loss of $1,212,388 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
      The $122,935 increase in net loss is attributable to a decrease in foreign
      sales volume for The Wand(R) and its disposable handpiece and an increase
      in interest expense.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At March 31, 2001, Milestone had $568,471 in cash of which $500,000 was
      received on March 30, 2001 from the sale of common stock and had a working
      capital deficiency of $544,541. For the three months ended March 31, 2001,
      the Company increased cash by $395,604.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's net cash used in
      operating activities was $452,825. This was attributable primarily to a
      net loss of $1,335,323 adjusted for non cash items of $95,014 for
      amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs, $23,534 for
      depreciation, and $150,000 for common stock issued for services; a
      $172,691 increase in accounts receivable; a $225,136 increase in
      inventory; a $70,620 decrease in prepaid expenses; an increase in accrued
      expenses of $8,268; an $100,000 increase in accrued interest; a $517,329
      increase in accounts payable; and an $87,500 increase in deferred
      compensation.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company used $1,571 in
      investing activities for capital expenditures.


                                       14
<PAGE>

      For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company generated $850,000
      from financing activities. This was due to the $500,000 received from the
      sale of common stock and the $350,000 received in aggregate from two
      credit lines. These financings were accomplished through two major
      existing investors.

      To improve liquidity and meet its working capital needs, the Company has
      restructured existing debt and raised additional capital.

      Debt Restructuring

      10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes

      In March 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 repriced back to the initial exercise price of $1.75 per share at the
      date of grant.

      $1,000,000 in New Financing

      During the first quarter of 2001 and through two major existing investors,
      Milestone obtained a $500,000 line of credit which matures on August 31,
      2002 in support of its demo program for The Wand(R) and received $500,000
      from the sale 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 connection with obtaining the line of credit,
      the lender received warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at
      an exercised price of $1.69 and an aggregate estimated fair value of
      $80,000. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had drawn down $250,000 from
      the line of credit.

      In addition to the financings described above and henceforth, Milestone
      continues to explore additional equity and debt financings. However, there
      can be no assurance that any additional financings will be consummated.

      DENTAL OPERATIONS

      The Company is continuing to execute its business model, which is 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 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
      with distributors in markets in Europe,


                                       15
<PAGE>

      Canada, South Africa and Asia in an effort to increase sales in foreign
      markets. 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 The Wand(R) and
      Compuflo(TM) technologies. The Company also has initiated a cost reduction
      program which included 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
      improve the Company's operating results.

      PROPOSED MEDICAL OPERATIONS

      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
      the 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 can also 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 the Company by Dr. Mark Hochman, its
      Director of Research and Development.

      OTHER MATTERS

      In April, 2001, Milestone began revamping its domestic sales force
      handling sales of "The Wand" (R) for dental use. The new sales force is
      paid on a commission basis, thus substantially reducing risk. Since the
      adoption of the new sales program in April 2001, seven existing salesmen
      have converted to independent sales representatives receiving only
      commission compensation on the sales of units and handpieces. The
      representatives schedule their own appointments and engage in certain
      follow up activities. Recruiting efforts are underway to fill new
      positions on the same basis. Ten existing customer service representatives
      will also continue to play an important role in both selling new units and
      handling sales of replacement disposables. The new sales force will
      provide Milestone with national market coverage in dentistry. In addition,
      PTM Group ("PTM") has been engaged on a commission basis, to train, guide
      and oversee the sales effort. PTM is an outsource marketing, product
      development and contract manufacturing service company with more than 20
      years experience in the medical and dental market.
