Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements with the manufacturer of the STA, CompuDent® and CompuMed® instruments, pursuant to which they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders but without any long-term contract or minimum purchase commitment.
The Company has open purchase orders with a contract manufacturer to manufacture STA instruments.  The contract manufacturer bills Wand Dental as the work progresses and it is Wand Dental’s policy to record these billings as advances on contracts. These advances are reclassified into inventory when the contract manufacturer ships the product and title passes to Wand Dental. The advances on contracts represent funding of future STA inventory purchases. The balance of the advances as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is $1,170,863 and $1,171,604, respectively. The advance is classified as current, based on the estimated annual usage of the underlying inventory
