NOTE N-- CONCENTRATIONS
 
Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements with
third
-party US manufacturers of the STA,
CompuDent
and
CompuMed
devices, pursuant to which they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders but without any long-term contract or minimum purchase commitment. Consequently, advances on contracts have been classified as current at
December 31, 2020 
and
2019.
  The termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of these 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, because of termination of such a relationship, would have a material adverse effect on Milestone Scientific's financial condition, business, and results of operations.
