NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of accounting policies
The unaudited financial statements of Milestone 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in Milestone’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited financial statements are the same as those described in the December 31, 2006 financial statements.
In the opinion of Milestone, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to fairly present Milestone’s financial position as of June 30, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The results reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for a full year.
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, including $1,615,170 and $998,422, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $192,527 and $1,521,126, respectively. Additionally, as discussed in Note 11, on July 9, 2007, the Company secured a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 from a stockholder. The Company is actively pursuing 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. Subject to the achievement of the aforementioned increases in revenues and reductions in expenses, the Company believes that its current resources (including the line of credit) will be sufficient to fund its planned operations at least through June 30, 2008. However, if the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from its operating activities it may need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive operating cash flows or that additional capital, if required, can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company if at all. If additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then the Company could be forced to curtail medical product development activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might negatively affect the Company’s operations.
Note 2- Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, distributor advance, cash flow assumptions regarding

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
evaluations for impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3 - Royalty receivable
Royalty receivable represents the royalty due from United Systems Inc, the licensee of Milestone’s proprietary consumer dental whitening product, which is sold under Milestone’s distributor’s trademark of Ionic White™.
Note 4 - Inventories
Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Note 5 - Advances to contract manufacturer
Advances to contract manufacturer represent deposits to the Company’s contract manufacturer to fund future inventory purchases.
Note 6 - Basic and diluted net loss per common share
Milestone presents “basic” earnings (loss) per common share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Basic earnings (loss) per common shares is calculated by dividing net income or loss 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 and warrants, and the conversion of notes payable and preferred stock were issued during the period.
Since Milestone had net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the assumed effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding options and warrants totaled 3,309,746 and 3,539,085 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Note 7 - Significant Customer
Milestone had one customer who accounted for approximately 88% and 69% of its net product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 22% of its net product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Sales to customers outside the United States were 18% and 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and were 18% and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, receivables from two customers were approximately 63% and 31% respectively of Milestone’s gross accounts receivable.
Note 8 - Stock Option Plans
Milestone adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, (SFAS No. 123R) under the modified-prospective transition method on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock

options, to be recognized in the income statements over the service period, as an operating expense, based on the grant-date fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes as compensation expense in its financial statements the unvested portion of existing options granted prior to the effective date and the cost of stock options granted to employees after the effective date based on the fair value of the stock options at grant date.
Employees: As of June 30, 2007, employees held 137,667 outstanding options granted to them under the Milestone 1997 Stock Option Plan and 305,000 outstanding options granted to them under the Milestone 2004 Stock Option Plan. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R the Company recognized $76,653 and $97,420 in share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively.
The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in the six months ended June 30, 2007: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 96%; risk free interest rate of 4.97% and expected term of 3.5 years.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the company’s common stock. The company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of the option granted is estimated based on historical behavior of employees and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. A summary of option activity under the plan as of June 30, 2007, and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

As of June 30, 2007, there was $84,276 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one year.
Non-Employees: As of June 30, 2007, non-employees, including consultants, held 347,466 outstanding options granted to them under the Milestone 1997 Stock Option Plan and 291,667 outstanding options granted to them under the Milestone 2004 Stock Option Plan. The Company recognized a reduction of $(1,236) and $226,702 in share-based compensation expense for the

three and six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant and is thereafter revalued at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants in the six months ended June 30, 2007: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 123%; risk free interest rate of 4.58%; and expected term of 3 years.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the company’s common stock. The expected term of the option granted is estimated based on historical behavior of nonemployees and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. A summary of option activity under the plan as of June 30, 2007, and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

Under an agreement, the Company’s marketing associate for a consumer tooth whitening product agreed to purchase, at $3.00 per share, 500,000 shares of Milestone common stock in quarterly installments of 125,000 shares within 10 days after the end of each of the four fiscal quarters commencing July 1, 2005. Milestone is not required to sell these shares unless the associate has purchased at least 625,000 starter kits in the first quarter, at least 1,250,000 starter kits in the first two quarters and at least 1,875,000 starter kits in the first three quarters. Further, at Milestone’s option, all shares previously purchased must be returned to Milestone and all monies paid to Milestone returned to the associate if it has not purchased an aggregate of at least 3,000,000 starter kits for the twelve-month period ending June 30,2006.
This agreement has been repeatedly extended for the associate’s commitment to purchase common stock. As of June 30, 2007, no shares have been sold under this agreement, as the associate did not purchase the minimum amount of starter kits.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Note 10- Recent Accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for financial disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” (FASB 159) which permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option). FASB 159 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the possible impact of adopting FASB 159 on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No.157, “Fair Value Measurements. (FASB 157).” FASB 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB 157 to have material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
Note 11- Contingent Liabilities
Through December 31, 2006 Milestone paid royalties in connection with its tooth whitening products to a purported holder of patent rights therein. Late in 2006 it received a copy of a patent office filing which appeared to show that the purported owner had relinquished rights to the patent on which royalties had been paid. It is possible that, never-the-less, the purported owner may claim continuing rights to receive royalties or that others may claim that payments are owed in connection with Milestone’s prior sales.
Note 12- Subsequent event, Line of credit
On July 9, 2007 we secured a $1 million line of credit from a stockholder. Borrowings will bear interest at 6% per annum, with one year’s interest at 1% payable in advance on each draw. Borrowings and subsequent repayments may be made from time to time, in increments of $100,000, until the expiration date of the line on December 31, 2008. All borrowings and interest thereon must be repaid by June 30, 2010, and after the expiration date of the line, may be repaid by Milestone in cash or, at its option, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of $2.00 per share or 80% of the average closing price of its shares during the 20 days ending with December 31, 2008. After December 31, 2008, and before June 30, 2010 the lender may convert all or any part of the then outstanding balance and interest thereon into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. Three year warrants, exercisable at $5.00 per share, in an amount determined by dividing 50% of the amount borrowed by $5.00, will be issued on each drawdown. There is no facility fee on the line.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
OVERVIEW
          The following discussion 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-QSB. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     During the first two quarters of 2007, the Company made considerable progress in advancing its refined business strategy primarily focused on the development, commercialization and global marketing and distribution of innovative painless injection products based on its patented technology, CompuFlo. Particular emphasis has been concentrated on bringing our patented and novel Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) delivery system to market, which incorporates the “pressure force feedback” elements of the CompuFlo technology, allowing dental practitioners to accurately administer injections into the periodontal ligament space, thus effectively anesthetizing a single tooth.
     In January 2007, Milestone finalized an Exclusive Distribution and Supply Agreement with Henry Schein, Inc., one of the world’s largest medical and dental distribution companies, to become the exclusive distributor of the STA and CompuDent systems (and related ancillary products) in both North America and Canada. We also granted Henry Schein first right of refusal on distribution rights of the same products in the international marketplace, excluding Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and South Africa, where we have already identified alternative sales and distribution partners.
     In February 2007, the STA was formally unveiled to market at the 142nd Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting, one of the largest dental trade events held each year in the U.S. In late March, we began fulfilling purchase orders from Henry Schein for the STA, with revenue recognition occurring upon shipment. This resulted in a material improvement in our domestic sales performance during the first and second quarters of this year, with the collective impact totaling $1,187,352 in sales of STA systems and $42,094 in sales of STA disposable handpieces. In addition, also in February 2007, Milestone received purchase orders in the amount of $347,724 for CompuDent systems and handpieces.
     The initial controlled soft introduction of our STA delivery system in the U.S. and Canada was designed to assess and affirm our planned sales, marketing and pricing strategies, as well as develop grass-roots support in the field prior to our full scale launch of the STA system scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter of this year or during the first quarter of 2008.
     Shipments of the STA delivery system to Henry Schein’s customers in the first and second quarters of 2007 should help to generate opportunities to promote much more rapid market adoption of the product by dental professionals following the full scale product launch. Further, early adopters of the STA System should prove to be valuable sources of insight and information regarding the powerful functionality and user benefits of the system, helping us to build a meaningful library of product testimonials and a solid base of professional references that will support and promote Henry Schein’s sales and marketing efforts over time.
     Through the third quarter 2007 and in collaboration with Corestrength, Inc., a leading professional dental sales management company contracted in late 2006, we will be engaged in extensive STA product training with Henry Schein’s national sales force, in preparation of the national product launch. A significant acceleration of the STA market introduction is planned for the fourth quarter of 2007 beginning with the American Dental Association meeting in September. The acceleration activities

include special sales incentive programs, direct e-mail communications and other advertising/promotional programs.
     Due to our reduced focus on supporting formal sales and marketing initiatives associated with our legacy dental injection system, CompuDent, domestic sales of the legacy product declined by 78% in the second quarter of 2007 to $51,070 when compared to $230,068 in the second quarter of the prior year. For the first six months of 2007, domestic sales of CompuDent decreased by 25% to $338,296 from $451,862 in the first six months of 2006. However, domestic sales of our disposable handpieces used in conjunction with CompuDent increased by 11% in the second quarter of 2007 to $814,881 when compared to $735,482 in the second quarter of 2006. Likewise, domestic sales of handpieces in the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 13% to $1,673,255, as compared to $1,477,136 in the comparable 2006 period.
     International sales, overall, have continued to decline in 2007 due largely to our foreign distributors’ anticipation of the commercial availability of our new STA system, which has circumvented pro-active marketing of the CompuDent system primarily in the European markets. Specifically, during the second quarter of 2007, international sales of CompuDent decreased $85,285 or 144% from $59,378 in the prior year’s second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, international sales of CompuDent decreased by 76% to $70,121 from $291,286 in the 2006 period. Although sales of our disposable handpieces used with the CompuDent system increased 6% on a comparative basis for the six months ended 2007 as compared to 2006 – $587,534 in 2007 as compared to $555,074 in 2006, sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 5% to $299,692 from $315,585 in the comparable 2006 period.
     In June 2006, we succeeded in being granted a CE Mark for the STA system, which will permit sales and marketing of the system in European Union (EU) countries. Although we are now engaged in determining our near term tactical approach to supporting a formal international market launch of the product in the fourth quarter of this year, we have already begun shipping STA units and the associated disposable handpieces to our foreign master distributor. Consequently, during the second quarter of 2007, we recognized $20,774 for STA systems and $12,986 for handpieces.
          The following table shows a breakdown of our product sales (net), domestically and internationally, by product category, and the percentage of product sales (net) by each product category:

          In the first quarter of 2007, we signed a Collaboration Agreement with Carticept Medical, Inc., an Atlanta-based company developing and commercializing advanced medical device technology for the minimally-invasive treatment of cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. Milestone and Carticept have agreed to collaborate, at Carticept’s cost, on the development of a specialized Injection System for the treatment of arthritic joints. The Injection System will use our patented CompuFlo technology to painlessly inject Carticept’s proprietary products into the intra-articular joint space. Once Carticept is satisfied that the prototype meets predetermined performance benchmarks, then Carticept and Milestone will develop a professional version of the System suitable for commercialization and distribution to the professional medical markets.
          The Carticept agreement represented a significant step forward in our efforts to pursue strategic partnerships and revenue sharing collaborations with companies who share our interest in leveraging CompuFlo to develop new, cutting edge solutions capable of addressing many of the more than 700 market applications identified in the independent research study we commissioned in 2006.
          As we progress through 2007, we will continue to work towards identifying other strategic opportunities for joint development projects using CompuFlo as the impetus for new product development.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, stock-based compensation, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Table of Contents

          Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,806,171 and $1,475,294 respectively. The $330,877 or 22.4% increase in total revenues is primarily related to STA unit and handpiece sales of $594,914 which did not exist in this same period last year offset by a decrease in domestic sales of CompuDent units of $178,998 or 77.8%. Disposable
          handpiece sales increased $79,399 or 10.8% domestically while international sales decreased $15,893 or 5.0%. The amount of $35,834 or 2.0% of total revenue is royalty income from granting United Systems Inc. a license to manufacture, market, and sublicense the Ionic White to the consumer market.
          Cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $955,274 and $688,124, respectively. The $267,150 or 38.8% increase is primarily attributable to write down of slow moving whitening inventory of $50,535 and refurbished CompuDent units of $90,478. The balance of the increase is due to additional cost of goods sold for the higher revenues previously discussed. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Milestone generated a gross profit of $858,235 or 48% as compared to a gross profit of $781,533 or 53% for the same period in 2006.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,809,554 and $1,369,497, respectively. The $440,057 or 32.1% increase is attributable primarily to an increase in marketing and media costs related to the domestic introduction of the STA delivery system of approximately $181,000 which include costs related to advertising, trade show participation and on going sales training and support, and approximately $233,000 increase in professional fees and a $75,417 non-cash charge associated with the accounting for share based compensation expense.
          Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $121,398 and $390,741, respectively. The decrease of $269,343 or 68.9% is due to completion of the development of Milestone’s STA delivery system.
          Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,072,717 and $978,705, respectively. The $94,012 or 9.6% increase in loss from operations is primarily the result of inventory write-downs and higher selling, general and administrative costs as described earlier.
          Interest income of $3,799 was earned in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $24,690 earned for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $20,891 or 84% in interest income is the result of a decreased average cash balance.
          For the reasons explained above, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,068,918 as compared to a net loss of $954,015 for the same period in 2006. The $114,903 or 12.0% increase in net loss is primarily a result of inventory write-downs and higher selling, general and administrative costs as described earlier.
Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006
     Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $4,116,134 and $3,173,050 respectively. Total revenues increased by $943,084 or 29.7%. Contributing to this increase was STA unit and handpiece sales of $1,263,207 which did not exist in this same period last year offset by a decrease in domestic sales of CompuDent units of $113,566 or 25.1%. Additionally, international revenue decreased $221,165 or 75.9% as compared to the comparable 2006 period. Domestic disposable handpiece sales increased $196,119 or 13.3% and international disposable handpiece sales increased $32,460 or 5.8%. The amount of $83,770 or 2.0% of total revenue is royalty income from granting United Systems Inc. a license to manufacture, market, and sublicense the Ionic White to the consumer market. Royalty income (net of royalty expenses) declined $78,897 or 48.0% reflecting retail competition in this increasingly highly competitive market.

          Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,331,236 or 56.6% and $1,711,707 or 53.9%, respectively. Gross profit in the 2007 period was reduced $141,013 because of a write down of whitening inventory of $50,535 and Compudent refurbished units of $90,478. The gross profit increase was due principally to the increase in units sold due to the STA delivery system previously discussed.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $3,646,442 and $2,849,212 respectively. The increase of $797,230 or 28.0% is primarily attributable to an increase of $260,796 in the non-cash charge associated with share based compensation, as well as an increase of approximately $71,000 in marketing costs associated to the preliminary domestic launch of the STA delivery system, professional fees of approximately $165,000 over 2006 levels primarily the result of increased patent protection costs, and royalty expenses associated with the STA delivery system and STA handpieces which did not exist last year amounted to approximately $113,000.
          Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $299,964 and $554,183, respectively. These costs are primarily associated with the development of our STA delivery system and continuing efforts on the CompuFlo™ technology.
          Interest income of $11,135 was earned for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $52,094 for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $40,959 or 78.6% is the result of a decreased average cash balance.
          For the reasons explained above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $35,559 or 2.2% over the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2006.

          Milestone incurred net losses of $3,152,268, $1,604,035,and $1,639,594 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,650,718, $998,422 and $861,400 during the year ended December 31, 2006, and the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
          As of June 30, 2007, Milestone had cash and cash equivalents of $192,527 and working capital of $1,521,126.
          The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception, including $1,615,170 and $998,422, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $192,527 and $1,521,126, respectively. Additionally, as discussed in Note 11, on July 9, 2007, the Company secured a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 from a stockholder. The Company is actively pursuing 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. Subject to the achievement of the aforementioned increases in revenues and reductions in expenses, the Company believes that its current resources (including the line of credit) will be sufficient to fund its planned operations at least through June 30, 2008. However, if the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from its operating activities it may need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive operating cash flows or that additional capital, if required, can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company is at all. If additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then the Company could be forced to curtail medical product development activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might negatively affect the Company’s operations.

for at least the next 12 months. However, if Milestone determines that it is in its best interests to increase funding for the development of various proposed medical products from its own resources, rather than relying on the advancement of development funds by existing or potential development partners, if development partners willing to fund certain development activities cannot be found or if cash flow from operations is less than now expected, Milestone may need to raise additional capital. No assurances can be given that additional capital, if required, can be raised on terms and conditions satisfactory to Milestone. If additional capital is required and it cannot be raised, then Milestone could be forced to curtail medical product development activities, cut marketing expenses for existing dental products or adopt other cost saving measures, any of which might negatively affect long-term growth prospects.
