MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Milestone Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries, (collectively “Milestone Scientific”, “our”, “us” or “we”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1989. Milestone Scientific has developed a proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery instrument, through the use of The Wand®, a single use disposable handpiece. The instrument is marketed in dentistry under the trademark CompuDent®, Wand Plus® and STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) TM and in medicine under the trademark CompuMed®. CompuDent® is suitable for all dental procedures that require local anesthetic. CompuMed® and Wand Plus are suitable for many medical procedures regularly performed in Plastic Surgery, Hair Restoration Surgery, Podiatry, Colorectal Surgery, Dermatology, Orthopedics and a number of other disciplines. The instruments are sold in the United States and in over 47 countries abroad. Milestone Scientific’s products are manufactured by a third-party contract manufacturer.
In July 2014, Milestone Scientific acquired all of the 750,000 outstanding shares of an inactive Florida corporation and changed its name to Wand Dental, Inc. (“Wand Dental”). In September 2014, that corporation was merged into a Delaware corporation, retaining the same name and capitalization. On July 1, 2014, Wand Dental was capitalized with cash and received Milestone Scientific’s dental business and related dental assets including the exclusive license of Milestone Scientific’s, patents, trademarks, and technology for use in the dental marketplace. Wand Dental is consolidated into Milestone Scientific.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Milestone Scientific 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in Milestone Scientific Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to fairly present Milestone Scientific’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three months then ended.
The results reported for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for a full year.
Milestone Scientific has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, except for 2013. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of revenue, positive operating income and net income. The capital raised in May 2014, provided Milestone Scientific with the opportunity to continue to develop and commercialize additional medical instruments and aggressively market the dental instruments throughout the world. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through an increase in revenue based upon management’s assessment of present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific believes that with the new distribution agreement with Henry Schein Inc. (effective January 1, 2016), the world’s largest supplier of medical, dental and veterinary supplies and devices, that dental revenue is projected to improve in the upcoming 12 months. To further reduce our expenditures, Milestone Medical’s expenses related to USA FDA clearance for the epidural and intra-articular instruments can be controlled as required to meet Milestone Scientific’s budget. Milestone Scientific has completed a detailed cash flow projection for the upcoming 12 months and has concluded that by limiting the FDA related expenses and increasing the dental instrument revenue through the new distribution agreement, management believes that Milestone Scientific will have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations over the next twelve months.

NOTE – 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
1. |
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Milestone Scientific and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including Wand Dental, as well as Milestone Medical Inc. (“Milestone Medical”) and Milestone Education LLC (“Milestone Education”), both variable interest entities for which Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary. All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
|
|
2. |
Variable Interest Entities |
A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
If Milestone Scientific determines that it has operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, Milestone Scientific consolidates the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, does not consolidate. Milestone Scientific’s involvement constitutes power that is most significant to the entity when it has unconstrained decision making ability over key operational functions within the entity
Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against Milestone Scientific’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on Milestone Scientific’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.
Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary of Milestone Medical, and Milestone Education, as variable interest entities. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Milestone Medical and Milestone Education are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Note 4 for further details regarding the treatment of the variable interest entity.
|
|
3. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Milestone Scientific considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its product on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customers to make payments on amounts billed. A majority of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing. There have not been any significant credit losses reported by Milestone Scientific.
|
|
5. |
Product Return and Warranty |
Milestone Scientific does not accept non-defective returns from its customers. Product returns under warranty are accepted, evaluated and repaired or replaced in accordance with the Warranty Policy. Returns not within the Warranty Policy are evaluated and the customer is charged for the repair.
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales.

|
|
7. |
Equity Method Investments |
Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in the long term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under this method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is presented below the income tax line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the activities of the investee are not closely aligned with the operations of Milestone Scientific. We evaluate our equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period.
|
|
8. |
Furniture, Fixture and Equipment |
Equipment is 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 five to seven years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
|
|
9. |
Intangible Assets - Patents |
Patents are recorded at cost to prepare and file the applicable documents with the United States Patent Office, or internationally with the applicable governmental office in the respective country. Although certain patents have not yet been approved, the costs related to these patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the patent. If the applicable patent application is ultimately rejected, the remaining unamortized balance will be expensed in the period in which Milestone Scientific receives a notice of such rejection. Patent applications filed and patents obtained in foreign countries are subject to the laws and procedures that differ from those in the United States. Patent protection in foreign countries may be different from patent protection under United States laws and may not be favorable to Milestone Scientific Milestone Scientific also attempts to protect the proprietary information through the use of confidentiality agreements and by limiting access to the facilities. There can be no assurance that the program of patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to the facilities will be sufficient to protect the proprietary technology.
|
|
10. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Milestone Scientific reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The carrying value of the assets is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Milestone Scientific adjusts the net book value of an underlying asset if its fair value is determined to be less than its net book value. Milestone Scientific has reviewed long-lived assets for impairment and concluded no impairment exists as of March 31, 2016.
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to domestic distributors on the date of shipment for essentially all shipments, since the shipment terms are FOB warehouse. Milestone Scientific will recognize revenue on date of arrival of the goods at the customer’s location, where shipments are FOB destination. Shipments to international distributors are FOB warehouse, therefore revenue is recognized on shipment of the goods. In all cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the collectability is reasonably assured. Further, Milestone Scientific has no obligation on these sales for any post installation, set-up or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific’s only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period
|
|
12. |
Shipping and Handling Costs |
Milestone Scientific includes shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold. These costs are billed to customers at the time of shipment for domestic shipments. International shipments are FOB warehouse, therefore no costs are incurred by Milestone Scientific.
10
|
|
13. |
Research and Development |
Research and development costs, which consist principally of new product development costs payable to third parties, are expensed as incurred.
Milestone Scientific accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB continues to release guidance clarifying certain aspects of the revenue guidance. We do not believe that this new accounting pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred taxes be presented as noncurrent, rather than separated into current and noncurrent amounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. In addition, the adoption of guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-02, “Leases “ (Topic 842): The new standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. It will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-07, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (Topic 323): The new standard is intended to eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for the use of the equity method as a result of an in increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect all of the previous periods that the investment was held. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718): The new standard is intended to clarify certain reporting aspects relating to stock based compensation, relating primarily to forfeitures, tax impacts and cash flow presentation. Certain attributes will be treated prospectively, while others will require a retroactive application. Generally, the changes will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows

NOTE – 2 Basic and Diluted Net INCOME (Loss) Per Common Share
Milestone Scientific presents “basic” earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 260. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and to be issued during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and the conversion of debt were issued during the period.
Since Milestone Scientific had net losses for 2016 and 2015, the assumed effects of the exercise of potentially dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Milestone Scientific calculated basic and fully diluted earnings per common share as described in the previous paragraph.
NOTE – 3 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its product on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customers to make payments on amounts billed. A majority of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing.
NOTE – 4 CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
Milestone Medical
Milestone Medical is 49.98% owned by Milestone Scientific as of March 31, 2016. Milestone Scientific has been established to develop and commercialize intra-articular and epidural drug delivery instruments, utilizing an exclusive royalty-free license to Milestone Scientific’s CompuFlo technology. The license was contributed by Milestone Scientific for our initial ownership in Milestone Medical.
Since our initial investment in Milestone Medical we have accounted for the investment in accordance with the equity method of accounting. However, during 2015, Milestone Scientific provided short term bridge financing to Milestone Medical in anticipation of the completion of a secondary stock offering in the Polish Market. In December 2015, Milestone Medical suspended their capital raise efforts meriting re-consideration of the initial accounting for the investment as an equity method investment. In April 2016, Milestone Medical cancelled the uplisting of its shares to the Poland Warsaw Stock Exchange.
As a result of the change in circumstances around the proposed offering in December 2015 by Milestone Medical, we reevaluated the relationship between the two entities and the status of Milestone Medical as a VIE. We have concluded that Milestone Medical does not have sufficient capital at risk to support its activities without additional financial support from Milestone Scientific. As a result of these factors, we have concluded that the line of credit extended to Milestone Medical constitutes a variable interest in Milestone Medical and therefore Milestone Medical is consolidated at March 31, 2016.
Since the factors giving rise to concluding that Milestone Medical is a VIE happened so close to the end of fiscal year 2015, the acquisition date for measuring the consolidation of Milestone Medical has been deemed to be December 31, 2015.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific acquired equity and voting control of Milestone Medical as a result of the acquisition of an additional 37% of the outstanding common stock of Milestone Medical by exchanging Milestone Medical shares for shares of Milestone Scientific common stock at a rate of two shares of Milestone Medical for one share of Milestone Scientific.
12
Milestone Education LLC
Milestone Education is a 50% owned subsidiary of Milestone Scientific which began operations in 2013 to provide training and education to our dentists throughout the world. Milestone Scientific accounts for its investment in Milestone Education using the equity method of accounting through December 31, 2015. Approximately 80% of the revenue earned by Milestone Education is from services performed for Milestone Scientific. As a result of this relationship, we concluded that we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Milestone Education’s economic performance, and that it is a variable interest entity and should be consolidated in the financials of Milestone Scientific. As of December 31, 2015, the impact of the consolidation was deemed not to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of Milestone Medical, and Milestone Education are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016.
The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Milestone Scientific, and its subsidiaries including Milestone Medical and Milestone Education (each a variable interest entity) on a pro forma basis as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the result of operations that would have been achieved if the consolidation had taken place at the beginning of the period presented.

NOTE – 5 INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
Advance Ocular Science SA
Advanced Ocular Sciences SA is an entity organized to develop an instrument that delivers injections into the eyes. The company is a shell company as of March 31, 2016. Milestone Scientific owns 25% of this entity. As of the balance sheet date, no equity has been contributed to the company by Milestone Scientific. During 2015, Milestone Scientific advanced $78,798 for marketing and strategy planning to Advanced Ocular Sciences SA. Advanced Ocular
13
Sciences SA., or their organizers are obligated to repay this advance once the public offering is approved and funded in Poland during 2016. Advance Ocular Science SA was not included in the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2016 as no investment has been made by Milestone Scientific.
Milestone China Ltd.
In June 2014, Milestone Scientific agreed to invest $1 Million through the contribution of 772 STA instruments (at a distributor price of approximately $1,295 per instrument) for a forty percent ownership in Milestone China Ltd. (“Milestone China”). In 2014, the instruments were shipped and were recorded as an investment in Milestone China at the cost of the inventory contributed. In January 2016, Milestone Scientific contributed 308 STA instruments with a retail value of approximately $400,000 ($1,296 per instrument) to Milestone China Inc. as an increase in our investment in this subsidiary. The additional contribution increased the Company’s investment by approximately $165,000 which represents the costs of the instruments and it did not increase the company’s percentage of ownership since the contribution is proportionate to the other shareholder contribution. Milestone Scientific recorded a loss on its investment in Milestone China of $164,837 and equity earnings $96,674 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Milestone’s investment in Milestone China was $0 and $445,325, at March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. Milestone Scientific had suspended losses on its investment in Milestone China of $177,291, as of March 31, 2016.
Milestone Scientific sold $1,000,000 in instruments during quarter ended March 31, 2016 to Milestone China. Milestone China Ltd. owes $825,340 to Milestone Scientific for instruments shipped in 2016, which is included in accounts receivable at March 31, 2016
Milestone Scientific recognizes the total revenue and costs of goods sold at the time the shipment of instruments and handpieces. However, due to timing differences of when the inventory is sold to Milestone China and when Milestone China sells the acquired inventory to third parties, elimination of the intra-entity profit is required as of the balance sheet date. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 323 – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, Milestone Scientific has deferred the gross profit associated with inventory shipped to Milestone China that has not been sold to third parties The deferred profit of $174,670 is included in the loss from the Milestone China within the Statement of Operations and presented as a reduction of the accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
NOTE – 6 Stock Option Plans
Milestone Scientific recognizes compensation expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period and in the case of performance based options over the period of the expected performance. For the months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Milestone Scientific recognized $134,505 and $82,124 of total employee compensation cost related to options that vested each year, respectively.

The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. As of March 31, 2016, Milestone Scientific recognized $1,175 expense related to non-employee options that vested.
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50-15, all other issuances of common stock, stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by Milestone Scientific are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued (unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). The fair value of any options or similar equity instruments issued is estimated based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the assumption that all of the options or other equity instruments will ultimately vest. Such fair value is measured as of an appropriate date pursuant to the guidance, (generally, the earlier of the date the other party becomes committed to provide goods or services or the date of performance by the other party is complete) and capitalized or expensed as if Milestone Scientific had paid cash for the goods or services.
NOTE – 7 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Milestone Scientific’s consolidated financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and advances on contracts. Milestone Scientific places its cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. Milestone Scientific has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks. Financial instruments which potentially subject Milestone Scientific to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, as Milestone Scientific does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables, and advances on contracts.
Milestone Scientific closely monitors the extension of credit to its customers while maintaining allowances, if necessary, for potential credit losses. On a periodic basis, Milestone Scientific evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Management has provided a reserve that it believes is sufficient to record accounts receivable at net realizable value as of March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
NOTE – 8 ADVANCES ON CONTRACTS
The advances on contracts represent funding of future STA inventory purchases. The balance of the advances as of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, is $1,253,645 and $1,215,128, respectively. The advance is classified as current based on the estimated annual usage of the underlying inventory.
NOTE – 9 INCOME TAXES
For the three Months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015 state tax liability was approximately $47,000 and $0, respectively. Due to Milestone Scientific’s history of past operating losses, which required a full valuation allowances for all of Milestone Scientific’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2016 and 2015, no recognition was given to the utilization of the remaining Federal net operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE – 10 SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS & GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements with the manufacturer of the STA, CompuDent® and CompuMed® instruments, one of the principal manufacturers for those instruments pursuant to which they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders but without any long-term contract or minimum purchase commitment. Purchases from this supplier were $636,059 and $617,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE – 11 PENSION PLANS
Milestone Scientific has a Defined Contribution Plan that allows eligible employees to contribute part of their salary through payroll deductions. Milestone Scientific does not contribute to this plan, but does pay the administrative costs of the plan, which were not significant.
NOTE – 12 COMMITMENTS AND OTHER
(1) Lease Commitments
The headquarters for Milestone Scientific is located at 220 South Orange Ave, Livingston, New Jersey. Milestone Scientific leases approximately 7,625 square feet of office space. The lease term expires January 31, 2020 at a monthly cost of $12,522. Additionally, Milestone Scientific has other smaller insignificant leases ending through 2017. A third party distribution and logistics center in Pennsylvania handles shipping and order fulfillment on a month-to-month basis. For the three Months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, rent expense amounted to $35,232, and $13,824 respectively.
(2) Contract Manufacturing Arrangement
Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements for the manufacture of its products The STA (single tooth anesthesia), and CompuDent® instruments are manufactured for Milestone Scientific by Tricor Systems, Inc. pursuant to
16
specific purchase orders. The STA and the Wand® Handpiece with Needle is supplied to Milestone Scientific by a contractor in the United States, which arranges for its manufacture with two factories in China.
The termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of the above manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on Milestone Scientific’s ability to produce and sell its products. Although alternate sources of supply exist and new manufacturing relationships could be established, Milestone Scientific 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 Milestone Scientific.
(3) Other Commitments and Subsequent Events
Other Commitments
In March 2014, the Board of Directors approved the Compensation Committee’s request to amend the Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific’s employment agreement to provide benefits to make payments of $203,111 per year for five years to the Chief Executive Officer, or as he directs such payments to a third party, to fund his acquisition of, or contribution to an annuity, pension, or deferred distribution plan or for an investment for the Executive and his family. For each the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $51,000was charged to expense, respectively.
The technology underlying the SafetyWand and CompuFlo®, and an improvement to the controls for CompuDent® were developed by the Director of Clinical Affairs and assigned to us. Milestone Scientific purchased this technology pursuant to an agreement dated January 1, 2005. The Director will receive additional payments of 2.5% of the total sales of products using certain of these technologies, and 5% of the total sales of products using certain other of the technologies. The Director of Clinical Affairs is granted, pursuant to the agreement, an option to purchase, at fair market value on the date of the grant, 8,333 shares of the common stock upon the issuance of each additional patent relating to these technologies. If products produced by third parties use any of these technologies (under license from us) then the Director of Clinical Affairs will receive the corresponding percentage of the consideration received Milestone Scientific for such sale or license. Milestone Scientific expensed the Director of Clinical Affairs’ royalty fee of $190,626 and $111,484, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, Milestone Scientific expensed consulting fees to the Director of Clinical Affairs of $68,757 and $23,400 the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific acquired an additional 37% of the outstanding common stock of Milestone Medical by exchanging Milestone Medical shares for shares of Milestone Scientific common stock at a rate of two shares of Milestone Medical for one share of Milestone Scientific.
Milestone Scientific has evaluated subsequent events and has determined that there are no other events to be disclosed.

ITEM 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussions of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Milestone Scientific Inc. (“Milestone Scientific”, “our”, “us” or “we”) was officially listed on the NYSE MKT on June 1, 2015.
In 2016, Milestone Scientific remains focused on advancing efforts to achieve our two primary objectives; those being:
|
|
• |
Enhancing our global reach by partnering with distribution companies in the medical sector and |
|
|
• |
Optimizing our tactical approach to product sales and marketing in order to materially increase penetration of the global dental and medical markets with our proprietary, patented Computer-Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery (C-CLAD) solution, the STA Single Tooth Anesthesia Instrument (STA Instrument) |
STA Instrument Growth
Since its market introduction in early 2007, the STA Instrument and a prior computerized controlled local anesthesia delivery product have been used to deliver over 60 million safe, effective and comfortable injections. The instrument has also been favorably evaluated in numerous peer-reviewed, published clinical studies and associated articles. Moreover, there appears to be a growing consensus among users that the STA Instrument is proving to be a valuable and beneficial instrument that is positively impacting the practice of dentistry worldwide.
Global Distribution Network
United States and Canadian Market
In November 2012, Milestone Scientific entered an exclusive distribution and marketing agreement with a well-known U.S. domestic manufacturer and distributor, for the sale and distribution of the STA instruments and handpieces in United States and Canada. The exclusive distributor and marketing agreement was converted to a non-exclusive agreement as December 31, 2015. Henry Schein a global leader of distribution in the dental supplies was added as a non-exclusive distributor of the STA instruments and handpieces in the United State and Canada in January 2016. In August 2014, Milestone Scientific entered an exclusive distributor agreement (beginning October 1, 2014), with Henry Schein, for the sale and distribution of the legacy CompuDent® handpieces in the United States and Canada.
International Market
On the global front, we also have granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the STA Instrument to select dental suppliers in various international regions in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. They include Istrodent in South Africa and Unident in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
In early October 2012, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) of the People’s Republic of China approved Milestone Scientific’s Single Tooth Anesthesia System® (STA System). In May 2014, the CFDA, (previously the SFDA), granted registration approval of the STA handpieces in China.
Shortly before the end of the second quarter 2009, we announced that we were refining our international marketing strategy to gain greater access to and penetration of the international dental markets for the STA Instrument, CompuDent® and related disposable handpieces. The new sales strategy provides for increasing hands-on oversight and support of our existing international distribution network, while also attracting new distributors throughout Europe, Asia
18
and South America. To assist in this endeavor, in the spring of 2010, Milestone Scientific added an International Sales Director to focus on the growth of our products outside the USA and Canada.
In September 2014, Milestone Medical Inc., a subsidiary of Milestone Scientific (“Milestone Medical”), received CE clearance to distribute their instruments in European Community (EU). Milestone Medical is actively pursuing distributors for the instrument in the EU community. Milestone Medical signed a distribution agreement in March 2015, with a Polish Medical distributor for the distribution of the epidural instrument starting in April 2015.
The following table shows a breakdown of Milestone Scientific’s product sales (net), domestically and internationally, by product category, and the percentage of product sales (net) by each product category:

Milestone Scientific earned gross profit of approximately $2.2 million and $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. However, the revenues and related gross profits have not been sufficient to support overhead, new product introduction and research and development expenses. Although Milestone Scientific anticipates expending funds for research and development in 2016, these amounts will vary based on the operating results for each quarter. Milestone Scientific has incurred annual operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, except for 2013. At March 31, 2016, Milestone Scientific has sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations for at least the next twelve months, including a limited amount of financing for the operation of Milestone Medical until additional financing is consummated in 2016. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the continued generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through increase in revenue, assessment of current contracts and current negotiations.
In 2016, Milestone Scientific plans to further support increased sales and marketing activity through our current distributors and newly appointed distributors of the STA instruments and handpieces in the international market. In the U.S. and Canada, Milestone Scientific will continue the utilization of independent hygienists for training individual practitioners and group practices domestically, refined and directed advertising to dental professionals, and support and broaden our global distribution network.

Three Months ended March 31, 2016 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2015
The following paragraphs will describe the results of 2016 compared to 2015.
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $3.5 and $2.7 million, respectively. The total dental revenue increased by $799,170 or 29% which was primarily related to the increase in instrument sales worldwide. This increase in revenue is in both STA instruments and handpieces. It is important to note that in the first quarter of 2016 Henry Schein purchased their first order of instruments and handpieces as a non-exclusive distributor in USA and Canada. International Instruments sales increased by $590,000 over the same period in 2015 due to a shipment of STA instruments to China. Handpieces decreased by $630,000 for the same period in 2015 due to an incentive buyer program in 2015 for handpieces that did not occur in the first quarter of 2016. International sales decreased by approximately $17,000. In the USA, Milestone Scientific has modified its exclusive distributor and marketing agreement with Aseptico Inc. This exclusive agreement was changed to a non-exclusive agreement in December 31, 2015. The term of this non-exclusive agreement expired on March 31, 2016. Beginning January 1, 2016, Milestone Scientific entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein, the leading distributor of dental products in the USA and Canada.
The gross margin in 2016 decreased to 62% versus 66% in 2015. This decrease in gross profit margin is due to price reduction in instruments in certain key markets to stimulate increased volume in 2016 by increasing marketing efforts by distributors. Although the gross margin percentage decreased 4%, gross profit dollars in 2016 increased to approximately $2.2 million from approximately $1.8 million in 2015 or, by approximately $364,000 over the same period year over year.
20
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were approximately $3.0 million versus $1.9 million in 2015. This increase of approximately $1.1 million is predominantly due to the consolidation of Milestone Medical in the first quarter of 2016. In 2015, Milestone Medical was accounted for under the equity method, as such their line item expenses were recorded as a one line entry in the Statement of Operations as a Loss on Earnings from Milestone Medical. The total operating expense for Milestone Medical for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $851,000 and $890,000, respectively. The major reduction in the total operating expense for Milestone Medical was a reduction in Research and Development Expense of approximately $86,000, offset by an increase in various general expenses of $23,000.
On the consolidated basis, giving effect to the consolidation of Milestone Medical, Milestone Scientific and Wand Dental, expenses increased by approximately $400,000. Salaries and other compensation expense increased by $105,000 with the increase in personnel required to grow our business, a Senior Brand Manager, a Senior Manager of Project Management and an increase in our Clinical Hygienist staff to train our current and new customers. Other personnel benefits increased by $108,000 due to Medical Insurance increases and increased staff. Stock based compensation increased by $51,000 due stock option awards provided to executives at the end of 2015. Marketing and trade show expenses and travel and other expenses accounted for the remainder of the increase in the 1st quarter 2016 versus the first quarter of 2015.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $143,442 and $10,118, respectively. As previously stated, $47,000 of the increase is due to the consolidation of Milestone Medical in 2016. The remainder of the increase is due to other research and development projects that are in process.
The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $943,388 and $71,143, respectively. The additional loss of $911,000 is primarily the result of the consolidation Milestone Medical in 2016.
There was a loss on the China Joint Venture of $269,726 and profit of $96,674 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The China joint Venture is in its initial operating and expansion cycle in China, and as such will continue to have losses in 2016
For the reasons explained above, and after factoring in the positive effects of net loss attributable to non-controlling interest, the net loss for the three months March 31, 2016 was $750,059 as compared to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $419,375.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Looking at the current balance sheet for Milestone Scientific and subsidiaries, current assets decreased by approximately $1.2 million. The reduction in current assets is primarily due to a decrease in cash of approximately $1.5 million and a decrease in inventories of approximately $360,000. The cash reduction is primarily due to the loss from operations and the financial support of Milestone Medical for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Current liabilities decreased by approximately $402,000.
Working Capital decreased by $766,000, primarily due to the loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. However, Milestone Scientific believes that its cash on hand and revenues from the dental business will be sufficient to operate the ongoing business for at least the next 12 months. As noted above, the funding for Milestone Medical will be limited during 2016.
Milestone Scientific continues to take positive steps to maintain adequate inventory levels and advances on contracts to maintain available inventory to meet our domestic and international sales requirements. Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were a negative $1,389,126 and $681,191, respectively.
Milestone Scientific has incurred annual operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, except for the year ended December 31, 2013. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through increases in revenues based upon management’s assessment of present contracts, and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. The consolidation of Milestone Medical
21
in December 2015 and the lack of capital raising activities by Milestone Medical in 2015 created a unique situation for Milestone Scientific advancing into 2016. However as noted previously, Milestone Scientific is not obligated to continue its financial support of Milestone Medical, but the timeline for Milestone Medical 510K FDA clearance is expected in 2016 (mid-year). Milestone Scientific expects that clearance to commercialize the epidural and intra articular instruments in 2016 will significantly improve the capital raising opportunities and financial picture.
Milestone Scientific believes that with the new distribution agreement with Henry Schein Inc. (effective January 1, 2016), the world’s largest supplier of medical, dental and veterinary supplies and devices, that dental revenues are projected to improve in the upcoming 12 months. To further reduce Milestone Scientific’s expenditures, Milestone Medical expenses related to USA FDA clearance for the epidural and intra-articular instruments can be controlled as required to meet Milestone Scientific’s budget. By limiting the FDA related expenses and increasing the dental instrument revenue through the new distribution agreement and performing a detailed cash flow projection of the consolidated company and its subsidiaries, management believes that Milestone Scientific will have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations over the next twelve months.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Milestone Scientific’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Milestone Scientific’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, Milestone Scientific’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports Milestone Scientific files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Milestone Scientific’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
There were no changes in Milestone Scientific’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during Milestone Scientific’s last fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, Milestone Scientific’s internal controls over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Milestone Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries, (collectively “Milestone Scientific”, “our”, “us” or “we”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1989. Milestone Scientific has developed a proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery instrument, through the use of The Wand®, a single use disposable handpiece. The instrument is marketed in dentistry under the trademark CompuDent®, Wand Plus® and STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) TM and in medicine under the trademark CompuMed®. CompuDent® is suitable for all dental procedures that require local anesthetic. CompuMed® and Wand Plus are suitable for many medical procedures regularly performed in Plastic Surgery, Hair Restoration Surgery, Podiatry, Colorectal Surgery, Dermatology, Orthopedics and a number of other disciplines. The instruments are sold in the United States and in over 47 countries abroad. Milestone Scientific’s products are manufactured by a third-party contract manufacturer.
In July 2014, Milestone Scientific acquired all of the 750,000 outstanding shares of an inactive Florida corporation and changed its name to Wand Dental, Inc. (“Wand Dental”). In September 2014, that corporation was merged into a Delaware corporation, retaining the same name and capitalization. On July 1, 2014, Wand Dental was capitalized with cash and received Milestone Scientific’s dental business and related dental assets including the exclusive license of Milestone Scientific’s, patents, trademarks, and technology for use in the dental marketplace. Wand Dental is consolidated into Milestone Scientific.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Milestone Scientific 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in Milestone Scientific Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to fairly present Milestone Scientific’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three months then ended.
The results reported for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for a full year.
Milestone Scientific has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, except for 2013. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of revenue, positive operating income and net income. The capital raised in May 2014, provided Milestone Scientific with the opportunity to continue to develop and commercialize additional medical instruments and aggressively market the dental instruments throughout the world. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through an increase in revenue based upon management’s assessment of present contracts and current negotiations and reductions in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific believes that with the new distribution agreement with Henry Schein Inc. (effective January 1, 2016), the world’s largest supplier of medical, dental and veterinary supplies and devices, that dental revenue is projected to improve in the upcoming 12 months. To further reduce our expenditures, Milestone Medical’s expenses related to USA FDA clearance for the epidural and intra-articular instruments can be controlled as required to meet Milestone Scientific’s budget. Milestone Scientific has completed a detailed cash flow projection for the upcoming 12 months and has concluded that by limiting the FDA related expenses and increasing the dental instrument revenue through the new distribution agreement, management believes that Milestone Scientific will have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of its anticipated obligations over the next twelve months.

Summary of Accounting Policies

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
|
| Summary of Accounting Policies |
NOTE – 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
1. |
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Milestone Scientific and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including Wand Dental, as well as Milestone Medical Inc. (“Milestone Medical”) and Milestone Education LLC (“Milestone Education”), both variable interest entities for which Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary. All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
|
|
2. |
Variable Interest Entities |
A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
If Milestone Scientific determines that it has operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, Milestone Scientific consolidates the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, does not consolidate. Milestone Scientific’s involvement constitutes power that is most significant to the entity when it has unconstrained decision making ability over key operational functions within the entity
Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against Milestone Scientific’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on Milestone Scientific’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.
Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary of Milestone Medical, and Milestone Education, as variable interest entities. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Milestone Medical and Milestone Education are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Note 4 for further details regarding the treatment of the variable interest entity.
|
|
3. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Milestone Scientific considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its product on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customers to make payments on amounts billed. A majority of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing. There have not been any significant credit losses reported by Milestone Scientific.
|
|
5. |
Product Return and Warranty |
Milestone Scientific does not accept non-defective returns from its customers. Product returns under warranty are accepted, evaluated and repaired or replaced in accordance with the Warranty Policy. Returns not within the Warranty Policy are evaluated and the customer is charged for the repair.
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales.
|
|
7. |
Equity Method Investments |
Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in the long term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under this method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is presented below the income tax line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the activities of the investee are not closely aligned with the operations of Milestone Scientific. We evaluate our equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period.
|
|
8. |
Furniture, Fixture and Equipment |
Equipment is 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 five to seven years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
|
|
9. |
Intangible Assets - Patents |
Patents are recorded at cost to prepare and file the applicable documents with the United States Patent Office, or internationally with the applicable governmental office in the respective country. Although certain patents have not yet been approved, the costs related to these patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the patent. If the applicable patent application is ultimately rejected, the remaining unamortized balance will be expensed in the period in which Milestone Scientific receives a notice of such rejection. Patent applications filed and patents obtained in foreign countries are subject to the laws and procedures that differ from those in the United States. Patent protection in foreign countries may be different from patent protection under United States laws and may not be favorable to Milestone Scientific Milestone Scientific also attempts to protect the proprietary information through the use of confidentiality agreements and by limiting access to the facilities. There can be no assurance that the program of patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to the facilities will be sufficient to protect the proprietary technology.
|
|
10. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Milestone Scientific reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The carrying value of the assets is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Milestone Scientific adjusts the net book value of an underlying asset if its fair value is determined to be less than its net book value. Milestone Scientific has reviewed long-lived assets for impairment and concluded no impairment exists as of March 31, 2016.
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to domestic distributors on the date of shipment for essentially all shipments, since the shipment terms are FOB warehouse. Milestone Scientific will recognize revenue on date of arrival of the goods at the customer’s location, where shipments are FOB destination. Shipments to international distributors are FOB warehouse, therefore revenue is recognized on shipment of the goods. In all cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the collectability is reasonably assured. Further, Milestone Scientific has no obligation on these sales for any post installation, set-up or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific’s only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period
|
|
12. |
Shipping and Handling Costs |
Milestone Scientific includes shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold. These costs are billed to customers at the time of shipment for domestic shipments. International shipments are FOB warehouse, therefore no costs are incurred by Milestone Scientific.
|
|
13. |
Research and Development |
Research and development costs, which consist principally of new product development costs payable to third parties, are expensed as incurred.
Milestone Scientific accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB continues to release guidance clarifying certain aspects of the revenue guidance. We do not believe that this new accounting pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred taxes be presented as noncurrent, rather than separated into current and noncurrent amounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. In addition, the adoption of guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-02, “Leases “ (Topic 842): The new standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. It will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-07, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (Topic 323): The new standard is intended to eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for the use of the equity method as a result of an in increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect all of the previous periods that the investment was held. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718): The new standard is intended to clarify certain reporting aspects relating to stock based compensation, relating primarily to forfeitures, tax impacts and cash flow presentation. Certain attributes will be treated prospectively, while others will require a retroactive application. Generally, the changes will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows

| Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
|
| Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
NOTE – 2 Basic and Diluted Net INCOME (Loss) Per Common Share
Milestone Scientific presents “basic” earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 260. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and to be issued during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and the conversion of debt were issued during the period.
Since Milestone Scientific had net losses for 2016 and 2015, the assumed effects of the exercise of potentially dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Milestone Scientific calculated basic and fully diluted earnings per common share as described in the previous paragraph.

NOTE – 4 CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
Milestone Medical
Milestone Medical is 49.98% owned by Milestone Scientific as of March 31, 2016. Milestone Scientific has been established to develop and commercialize intra-articular and epidural drug delivery instruments, utilizing an exclusive royalty-free license to Milestone Scientific’s CompuFlo technology. The license was contributed by Milestone Scientific for our initial ownership in Milestone Medical.
Since our initial investment in Milestone Medical we have accounted for the investment in accordance with the equity method of accounting. However, during 2015, Milestone Scientific provided short term bridge financing to Milestone Medical in anticipation of the completion of a secondary stock offering in the Polish Market. In December 2015, Milestone Medical suspended their capital raise efforts meriting re-consideration of the initial accounting for the investment as an equity method investment. In April 2016, Milestone Medical cancelled the uplisting of its shares to the Poland Warsaw Stock Exchange.
As a result of the change in circumstances around the proposed offering in December 2015 by Milestone Medical, we reevaluated the relationship between the two entities and the status of Milestone Medical as a VIE. We have concluded that Milestone Medical does not have sufficient capital at risk to support its activities without additional financial support from Milestone Scientific. As a result of these factors, we have concluded that the line of credit extended to Milestone Medical constitutes a variable interest in Milestone Medical and therefore Milestone Medical is consolidated at March 31, 2016.
Since the factors giving rise to concluding that Milestone Medical is a VIE happened so close to the end of fiscal year 2015, the acquisition date for measuring the consolidation of Milestone Medical has been deemed to be December 31, 2015.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific acquired equity and voting control of Milestone Medical as a result of the acquisition of an additional 37% of the outstanding common stock of Milestone Medical by exchanging Milestone Medical shares for shares of Milestone Scientific common stock at a rate of two shares of Milestone Medical for one share of Milestone Scientific.
Milestone Education LLC
Milestone Education is a 50% owned subsidiary of Milestone Scientific which began operations in 2013 to provide training and education to our dentists throughout the world. Milestone Scientific accounts for its investment in Milestone Education using the equity method of accounting through December 31, 2015. Approximately 80% of the revenue earned by Milestone Education is from services performed for Milestone Scientific. As a result of this relationship, we concluded that we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Milestone Education’s economic performance, and that it is a variable interest entity and should be consolidated in the financials of Milestone Scientific. As of December 31, 2015, the impact of the consolidation was deemed not to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of Milestone Medical, and Milestone Education are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016.
The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Milestone Scientific, and its subsidiaries including Milestone Medical and Milestone Education (each a variable interest entity) on a pro forma basis as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the result of operations that would have been achieved if the consolidation had taken place at the beginning of the period presented.

In January 2016, Milestone Scientific contributed 308 STA instruments with a retail value of approximately $400,000 ($1,296 per instrument) to Milestone China Inc. as an increase in our investment in this subsidiary. The additional contribution increased the Company’s investment by approximately $165,000 which represents the costs of the instruments and it did not increase the company’s percentage of ownership since the contribution is proportionate to the other shareholder contribution.

The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. As of March 31, 2016, Milestone Scientific recognized $1,175 expense related to non-employee options that vested.
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50-15, all other issuances of common stock, stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by Milestone Scientific are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued (unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). The fair value of any options or similar equity instruments issued is estimated based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the assumption that all of the options or other equity instruments will ultimately vest. Such fair value is measured as of an appropriate date pursuant to the guidance, (generally, the earlier of the date the other party becomes committed to provide goods or services or the date of performance by the other party is complete) and capitalized or expensed as if Milestone Scientific had paid cash for the goods or services.

| Concentration of Credit Risk |
NOTE – 7 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Milestone Scientific’s consolidated financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and advances on contracts. Milestone Scientific places its cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. Milestone Scientific has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks. Financial instruments which potentially subject Milestone Scientific to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, as Milestone Scientific does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables, and advances on contracts.
Milestone Scientific closely monitors the extension of credit to its customers while maintaining allowances, if necessary, for potential credit losses. On a periodic basis, Milestone Scientific evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Management has provided a reserve that it believes is sufficient to record accounts receivable at net realizable value as of March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

| Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
|
| Commitments and Other |
NOTE – 12 COMMITMENTS AND OTHER
(1) Lease Commitments
The headquarters for Milestone Scientific is located at 220 South Orange Ave, Livingston, New Jersey. Milestone Scientific leases approximately 7,625 square feet of office space. The lease term expires January 31, 2020 at a monthly cost of $12,522. Additionally, Milestone Scientific has other smaller insignificant leases ending through 2017. A third party distribution and logistics center in Pennsylvania handles shipping and order fulfillment on a month-to-month basis. For the three Months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, rent expense amounted to $35,232, and $13,824 respectively.
(2) Contract Manufacturing Arrangement
Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements for the manufacture of its products The STA (single tooth anesthesia), and CompuDent® instruments are manufactured for Milestone Scientific by Tricor Systems, Inc. pursuant to specific purchase orders. The STA and the Wand® Handpiece with Needle is supplied to Milestone Scientific by a contractor in the United States, which arranges for its manufacture with two factories in China.
The termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of the above manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on Milestone Scientific’s ability to produce and sell its products. Although alternate sources of supply exist and new manufacturing relationships could be established, Milestone Scientific 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 Milestone Scientific.
(3) Other Commitments and Subsequent Events
Other Commitments
In March 2014, the Board of Directors approved the Compensation Committee’s request to amend the Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific’s employment agreement to provide benefits to make payments of $203,111 per year for five years to the Chief Executive Officer, or as he directs such payments to a third party, to fund his acquisition of, or contribution to an annuity, pension, or deferred distribution plan or for an investment for the Executive and his family. For each the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $51,000was charged to expense, respectively.
The technology underlying the SafetyWand and CompuFlo®, and an improvement to the controls for CompuDent® were developed by the Director of Clinical Affairs and assigned to us. Milestone Scientific purchased this technology pursuant to an agreement dated January 1, 2005. The Director will receive additional payments of 2.5% of the total sales of products using certain of these technologies, and 5% of the total sales of products using certain other of the technologies. The Director of Clinical Affairs is granted, pursuant to the agreement, an option to purchase, at fair market value on the date of the grant, 8,333 shares of the common stock upon the issuance of each additional patent relating to these technologies. If products produced by third parties use any of these technologies (under license from us) then the Director of Clinical Affairs will receive the corresponding percentage of the consideration received Milestone Scientific for such sale or license. Milestone Scientific expensed the Director of Clinical Affairs’ royalty fee of $190,626 and $111,484, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, Milestone Scientific expensed consulting fees to the Director of Clinical Affairs of $68,757 and $23,400 the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2016 Milestone Scientific acquired an additional 37% of the outstanding common stock of Milestone Medical by exchanging Milestone Medical shares for shares of Milestone Scientific common stock at a rate of two shares of Milestone Medical for one share of Milestone Scientific.
Milestone Scientific has evaluated subsequent events and has determined that there are no other events to be disclosed.

Summary of Accounting Policies (Policies)
|
3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2016 |
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
|
| Principles of Consolidation |
|
|
1. |
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statement have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Milestone Scientific and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including Wand Dental, as well as Milestone Medical Inc. (“Milestone Medical”) and Milestone Education LLC (“Milestone Education”), both variable interest entities for which Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary. All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
|
| Variable Interest Entities |
|
|
2. |
Variable Interest Entities |
A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
If Milestone Scientific determines that it has operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, Milestone Scientific consolidates the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, does not consolidate. Milestone Scientific’s involvement constitutes power that is most significant to the entity when it has unconstrained decision making ability over key operational functions within the entity
Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against Milestone Scientific’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on Milestone Scientific’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.
Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary of Milestone Medical, and Milestone Education, as variable interest entities. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Milestone Medical and Milestone Education are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Note 4 for further details regarding the treatment of the variable interest entity.
|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
|
3. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Milestone Scientific considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
|
| Accounts Receivable |
Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its product on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customers to make payments on amounts billed. A majority of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing. There have not been any significant credit losses reported by Milestone Scientific.
|
| Product Return and Warranty |
|
|
5. |
Product Return and Warranty |
Milestone Scientific does not accept non-defective returns from its customers. Product returns under warranty are accepted, evaluated and repaired or replaced in accordance with the Warranty Policy. Returns not within the Warranty Policy are evaluated and the customer is charged for the repair.
|
| Inventories |
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales.
|
| Equity Method Investments |
|
|
7. |
Equity Method Investments |
Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in the long term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under this method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is presented below the income tax line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the activities of the investee are not closely aligned with the operations of Milestone Scientific. We evaluate our equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period.
|
| Furniture, Fixture and Equipment |
|
|
8. |
Furniture, Fixture and Equipment |
Equipment is 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 five to seven years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
|
| Intangible Assets - Patents |
|
|
9. |
Intangible Assets - Patents |
Patents are recorded at cost to prepare and file the applicable documents with the United States Patent Office, or internationally with the applicable governmental office in the respective country. Although certain patents have not yet been approved, the costs related to these patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the patent. If the applicable patent application is ultimately rejected, the remaining unamortized balance will be expensed in the period in which Milestone Scientific receives a notice of such rejection. Patent applications filed and patents obtained in foreign countries are subject to the laws and procedures that differ from those in the United States. Patent protection in foreign countries may be different from patent protection under United States laws and may not be favorable to Milestone Scientific Milestone Scientific also attempts to protect the proprietary information through the use of confidentiality agreements and by limiting access to the facilities. There can be no assurance that the program of patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to the facilities will be sufficient to protect the proprietary technology.
|
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
|
10. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Milestone Scientific reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The carrying value of the assets is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Milestone Scientific adjusts the net book value of an underlying asset if its fair value is determined to be less than its net book value. Milestone Scientific has reviewed long-lived assets for impairment and concluded no impairment exists as of March 31, 2016.
|
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue from product sales is recognized net of discounts and allowances to domestic distributors on the date of shipment for essentially all shipments, since the shipment terms are FOB warehouse. Milestone Scientific will recognize revenue on date of arrival of the goods at the customer’s location, where shipments are FOB destination. Shipments to international distributors are FOB warehouse, therefore revenue is recognized on shipment of the goods. In all cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the collectability is reasonably assured. Further, Milestone Scientific has no obligation on these sales for any post installation, set-up or maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific’s only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects if the alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period
|
| Shipping and Handling Costs |
|
|
12. |
Shipping and Handling Costs |
Milestone Scientific includes shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold. These costs are billed to customers at the time of shipment for domestic shipments. International shipments are FOB warehouse, therefore no costs are incurred by Milestone Scientific.
|
| Research and Development |
|
|
13. |
Research and Development |
Research and development costs, which consist principally of new product development costs payable to third parties, are expensed as incurred.
|
| Income Taxes |
Milestone Scientific accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements |

|
15. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB continues to release guidance clarifying certain aspects of the revenue guidance. We do not believe that this new accounting pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred taxes be presented as noncurrent, rather than separated into current and noncurrent amounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. In addition, the adoption of guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-02, “Leases “ (Topic 842): The new standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. It will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-07, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (Topic 323): The new standard is intended to eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for the use of the equity method as a result of an in increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect all of the previous periods that the investment was held. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No.2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718): The new standard is intended to clarify certain reporting aspects relating to stock based compensation, relating primarily to forfeitures, tax impacts and cash flow presentation. Certain attributes will be treated prospectively, while others will require a retroactive application. Generally, the changes will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows
