NOTE – 11 RELATED PARTY

Milestone Scientific has a manufacturing agreement with a related party. The related party manufactures products under specific purchase orders but without minimum purchase commitments. Milestone Scientific purchased $447,817 and $325,628 from the supplier for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Milestone Scientific purchased $1,801,449 and $2,069,546 from the supplier for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Milestone Scientific owed $427,231 and $502,167 to this supplier as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

On July 1, 2013, Milestone Scientific and Milestone Medical signed an agreement for the reimbursement of specific expenses incurred by Milestone Scientific specifically for the benefit of Milestone Medical. At September 30, 2015, the expenses due from Milestone Medical are $623,881, which were offset by $537,923 which is the excess loss of the company investment in Milestone Medical.

In December 2014, Milestone Scientific entered into a bridge financing to Milestone Medical while waiting approval of the capital raise, Milestone Scientific (49.98% owners) entered into a line of credit agreement allows Milestone Medical to borrow up to $2 million from Milestone Scientific through January 2016, if needed, to assist in paying for the capital raise. The loan provides for interest at a rate of 3.25% per annual, the prime rate at the inception of the line of credit. The agreement terminates at April 15, 2016. In September 2015 Milestone Scientific increased the line of credit to $2.5 million at the request of Milestone Medical Inc., due to the delay in obtaining regulatory approval to proceed with the additional capital raise. All other contractual conditions of the line of credit remain unchanged. $2,000,000 was borrowed by Milestone Medical as of September 30, 2015 and is recognized as notes receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
