NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED
September 30, 2009
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all
of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These
unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all
adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumption are inherent in
the preparation of the Companys financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and
assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Companys financial position and results of
operations.
Operating results for the three and nine months period
ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The consolidated
financial information as of December 31, 2008 included herein has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements as of,
and for the fiscal year ended, December 31, 2008.
NOTE 2 ORGANIZATION AND
OPERATIONS
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) (Grand) was established on July 31, 1992 and has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc.,
(Metallicum), Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc. (Tamarack) and Teneo Computing, Inc. (Teneo) (collectively the
Company), a development stage enterprise. Currently, Metallicum is the only operating subsidiary; and Tamarack and Teneo are dormant. On June 12,
2008, the Company acquired Metallicum, Inc, for 15,000,000 shares of Companys common stock. Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., operates as a technology
incubator that seeks to acquire, develop and commercialize life-enhancing technologies in various fields, with emphasis in the areas of alternative
energy, and consumer and commercial electronics. In this capacity, the Company continues to identify emerging technologies through strategic alliances
with scientific laboratories, educational institutions, and scientists and leaders in industry and government. The Company has a long standing
relationship with Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico. During 2008, the Company refocused its efforts from the development of its fuel cell
technologies to its current focus on the development of nanomaterials through the acquisition of Metallicum.
Metallicum is a nanotechnology start-up company located in
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Metallicum Inc. has focused on the development and manufacture of nanostructured metals for medical implants and other
applications. Metallicum intends to establish manufacturing partner relationships with major Fortune 500 metals companies and strategic partnering with
significant customers in the medical device & prosthetics industries as well as in auto, truck, & aircraft manufacturing industries.
Metallicums initial products include nanostructured bulk metals and alloys in the form of rod, bar, wire and foil. The Company conducts its
operations primarily in the United States.
Manhattan Scientifics purchased Metallicum to acquire its
licensed rights to patented technology. The technology is comprised of three US Patents (US Patent numbers 7152448, 6197129 and 6399215) for which
Metallicum (subsequently, Manhattan) had been assigned an exclusive license rights by Los Alamos National Security LLC (LANL). Under the license
rights, Metallicum had all rights, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship,
developments, concepts, know-how, improvements on the patents or trade secrets whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar
laws.

NOTE 2 ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
(continued)
In January 2009, the Company entered into a patent license
agreement with Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the exclusive licensing use of certain technology relating to the manufacture and application of
nanostructuring metals and alloys. Pursuant to such agreement the Company provided a non-refundable fee and 2,000,000 shares of common stock.
Additionally, the Company is required to pay an annual license fee starting in February 2010 and royalties on future net sales.
In September 2009, the Company entered into a license
agreement with Carpenter Technologies Corporation. wherein Carpenter will fully develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals
under an exclusive license from Manhattan Scientifics and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (see Note 10 for additional discussion). The
proprietary process will enable super-strength metals and alloys to make products that weigh far less than in the past and without significant cost
premiums.
The Companys success will depend in part on its
ability to obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both
in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged,
invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the
Company.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN
UNCERTAINTY
These financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company continues
to incur recurring losses and at September 30, 2009, had a stockholders deficit of $692,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Company sustained a net loss of $188,000. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The
Companys continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, and to generate revenue and cash flow to
meet its obligations on a timely basis.
NOTE 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUTING POLICIES
AND RELATED MATTERS
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM
(Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of
authority. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The FASB will now issue new standards in the form of
Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update
the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the changes in the Codification.
References made to FASB guidance have been updated for the Codification throughout this document.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
License Agreements
In 2008, the Company obtained licenses to the rights of
certain patents regarding nanostructured materials developed by another company as a result of the acquisition of Metallicum. The purchase price paid
for these licenses was $305,000, which represents its fair value. In January 2009, the Company obtained an exclusive license on two patents and a
non-exclusive license on the third patent. The value attributable to license agreements is being amortized over the period of its estimated benefit
period of 10 years. At September 30, 2009, accumulated amortization was $37,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay
royalties, as defined, to the licensors.

NOTE 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUTING POLICIES
AND RELATED MATTERS (continued)
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 that affect the amount
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. A significant estimate includes the carrying value of the Companys patents, fair value of the
Companys common stock, assumptions used in calculating the value of stock options, depreciation and amortization.
INVESTMENTS
Available-for-Sale
Investments
Investments that the Company designates as
available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company determines the cost of the investment sold based on the specific identification method. The Companys available-for-sale investments
include:
|
Marketable equity securities The Company acquires these equity investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. The Company records the realized gains or losses on the sale or exchange of marketable equity securities in gains (losses) on other equity investments, net. |
Non-Marketable and Other Equity
Investments
The Company accounts for non-marketable and other equity
investments under either the cost or equity method and include them in other long-term assets. The non-marketable and other equity investments
include:
|
Non-marketable cost method investments when the equity method does not apply. We record the realized gains or losses on the sale of non-marketable cost method investments in gains (losses) on other equity investments, net. |
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes using the FASB
ASC 740, subtopic No. 10, Income Taxes, which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future
deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing
differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is
established, when necessary, to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be
realized.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718
Compensation Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to
employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Additionally, the Company follows the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107
Share-Based Payment (SAB 107), as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110), which provides
supplemental application guidance based on the views of the SEC. The Company estimates the expected term, which represents the period of time from the
grant date that the Company expects its stock options to remain outstanding, using the simplified method as permitted by SAB 107 and SAB 110. Under
this method, the expected term is estimated as the mid-point between the time the options vest and their contractual terms. The Company continues to
apply the simplified method because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the
expected terms due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded and the limited number of its options which have so far
vested and become eligible for exercise.
The estimated fair value of grants of stock options and
warrants to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense, if applicable, in the financial statements. The Company did not issue any options or
warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Pre Codification SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires
an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical assets and
liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived
valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques
in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company designates cash equivalents (consisting of
money market funds) and investments in securities of publicly traded companies as Level 1. The total amount of the Companys investment classified
as Level 3 is de minimis.
The fair value of the Companys debt as of September
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximated fair value at those times.
Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts
of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payables
approximated fair value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 because of the relative short term nature of these instruments. At September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value of the Companys debt approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Companys available for
sale securities was $215,000 at September 30, 2009 and these securities are classified as Level 1. (See Note 6).
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share, the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes Diluted
net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the
dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods
where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.
The Companys computation of dilutive net loss per
share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, does not assume any exercise of options, warrants or shares issuable upon
conversion of the series B preferred stock and common shares, which totaled 40,245,000, and 4,000,000 respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, as their effect is antidilutive.

Revenue Recognition:
To date the only revenue generated is from the sale of
non-exclusive license agreements related to the Companys technology and sample materials.
Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of
revenue recognition are met: (i) a contractual agreement exists; (ii) transfer of technology (intellectual property) has been completed or services
have been rendered; (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
FASB ASC 855 Subsequent Events, Pre Codification SFAS
No. 165, Subsequent Events. In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). The
objective of ASC 855 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 discusses two types of subsequent events: (1) events that provide additional
evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, and is recognized in the financial statements and (2) events that provide
evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued, and not recognized at the balance sheet date. An entity shall also disclose the date through which subsequent
events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were
available to be issued. The requirements of ASC 855 are effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The requirements
do not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. The Company evaluated its September 30, 2009 financial statements for
subsequent events through November 12, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
FASB ASC 810 Consolidation, Pre Codification SFAS No.
160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
FASB ASC 810, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51, (ASC 810). ASC 810
amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called
a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. ASC 810-10-65 requires, among
other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the
parents equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parents and noncontrolling interests shares
and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated income
statement; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and
a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The adoption of ASC 810-10-65 had no impact on the Companys financial
statements.
In November of 2008, the SEC released a proposed roadmap
regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, the Company may be required in fiscal 2015 to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
However, the SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the impact that this potential
change would have on our consolidated financial statements, and we will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of
IFRS.
The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting
pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

HISTORY
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) (Grand) was established on July 31, 1992 and has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc.,
(Metallicum), Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc. (Tamarack) and Teneo Computing, Inc. (Teneo) (collectively the
Company), a development stage enterprise. Currently, Metallicum is the only operating subsidiary; and Tamarack and Teneo are dormant. On June 12,
2008, the Company acquired Metallicum, Inc, for 15,000,000 shares of Companys common stock. The Company has a long standing relationship with Los
Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico. During 2008, the Company refocused its efforts from the development of its fuel cell technologies to its current
focus on the development of advanced materials through the acquisition of Metallicum.
OVERVIEW
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. is a technology incubator that
acquires, develops and commercializes life-enhancing technologies in various fields, with emphasis in the areas of advanced materials, alternative
energy, electronics and medical technology. In that capacity, we have previously identified emerging technologies through strategic alliances with
scientific laboratories, educational institutions, and scientists and leaders in industry and government.
In 2008, we purchased, in exchange for our common stock,
Metallicum, Inc. and its licensed patented technology. Through Metallicum, we hope to take advantage of a unique processing methodology for producing
nanostructures in a wide range of ductile metals and alloys and we are now attempting to commercialize this new and revolutionary technology.
Nanostructured metals and alloys possess significantly enhanced mechanical properties that include, for example, increased strength without concurrent
losses in ductility, and significantly increased resistance to fatigue fracture. Nanostructured commercially pure grades of titanium have proven to
also possess excellent machinability as well as high toughness and strength.
In the recent past, we have worked to develop and
commercialize three technologies:
|
Micro fuel cell technology, which is designed to become an ultra efficient miniature electricity generator that converts hydrogen into electricity by chemical means, for portable electronic devices, including cellular telephones, as a substitute for lithium ion and other batteries in common use today. |
|
Mid-range fuel cell technology, which is an ultra efficient medium-size electricity generating device that converts hydrogen into electricity, with potential applications including personal transportation, cordless appliances, power tools, wheelchairs, bicycles, boats, emergency home generators, military field communications and laptop computers. |
|
Haptics Touch and Feel computer applications, which is a technology that allows computer users to be able to touch and feel any objects they see on their computer screen with the aid of special mouse. Detailed texture, object-weight, stickiness, viscosity and object density can be felt or sensed. Management believes this haptics technology may positively impact the way computers are used everywhere by introducing the ability to touch. (Please see Haptics Touch and Feel Internet Applications and Investment in Novint Technologies, Inc. |
On October 20, 2009, we announced today that we entered
into a non-binding letter of intent with Edward R. Flynn, Ph.D. and his company, Senior Scientific, LLC, to acquire all the manufacturing and marketing
rights, together with all commercial rights associated with Dr. Flynns patents and intellectual property in the emerging field of nanomedicine.
Dr. Flynns work is focused on the biomagnetic detection of cancer and other diseases through magnetic field sensors with enhanced
accuracy.

OUR DEVELOPMENT MODEL
We intend to profit from the development of potentially
disruptive or sea-change technologies. Our business model is to: (i) identify significant technologies, (ii) acquire them or the rights to them, (iii)
secure the services of inventors, engineers or other staff who were instrumental in their creation, (iv) provide or contract for suitable work
facilities, laboratories, and other aids where appropriate, (v) prototype the technologies to demonstrate proof of principle feasibility,
(vi) secure patent and or other intellectual property protection, (vii) secure early customers for product trials where feasible and appropriate, and
(viii) commercialize through licenses, sales or cooperative efforts with other manufacturing and distribution firms. Our license agreement with
Carpenter Technologies Corporation and the revenues generated by our license agreement is one example of our success in acquiring, developing and
commercializing life-enhancing technologies.
ADVANCED MATERIALS (METALLICUM, INC.)
In June 2008, we acquired Metallicum, Inc.
(Metallicum) and its licensed patented technology. We entered into a stock purchase agreement with Metallicum, Inc. to acquire all of the
outstanding capital in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. An additional 15,000,000 shares of our common stock will be payable to
Metallicum in the event of meeting certain milestones.
Metallicum is a nanotechnology start-up company located in
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Metallicum has focused on the development and manufacture of nanostructured metals for medical implants and other applications.
Metallicum intends to establish manufacturing partner relationships with major Fortune 500 metals companies and strategic partnering with significant
customers in the medical device & prosthetics industries as well as in auto, truck, & aircraft manufacturing industries. Metallicums
initial products include nanostructured bulk metals and alloys in the form of rod, bar, wire and foil.
We purchased Metallicum to acquire its licensed rights to
patented technology. The technology is comprised of three US Patents (US Patent numbers 7152448, 6197129 and 6399215) for which Metallicum
(subsequently, Manhattan) had been assigned an exclusive license rights by Los Alamos National Security LLC (LANL). Under the license rights,
Metallicum had all rights, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
concepts, know-how, improvements on the patents or trade secrets whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar
laws.
In January 2009, we entered into a patent license agreement
with Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the exclusive licensing use of certain technology relating to the manufacture and application of
nanostructuring metals and alloys. Pursuant to such agreement we provided a non-refundable fee and 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. Additionally,
we are required to pay an annual license fee starting in February 2010 and royalties on future net sales.
The technology is expected to trim thousands of pounds from
airplanes and hundreds of pounds from cars without sacrificing structural strength or adding significant cost. The nanostructured metals also have wide
implications for use in the medical device and prosthetics industries including dental implants, replacements for hips, shoulders, knees and cardio
vascular stents. In December 2008, a manufacturing joint venture partner in Albuquerque, N.M. received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k)
clearance to market nanostructured titanium metal dental implants using our technology. This clearance positions us closer to our goal of
commercializing our technology for nanostructured metals. We are in talks with many of the key manufacturers of dental implants and have signed
material testing agreements with several manufacturers.
In September 2009, we entered into a license agreement with
Carpenter Technologies Corporation. wherein Carpenter will fully develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals under an exclusive
license from Manhattan Scientifics and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The contract includes minimum annual payments to Manhattan Scientifics
during a 4 year period together with royalty payments as a % of gross sales.. The proprietary process will enable super-strength metals and alloys to
make products that weigh far less than in the past and without significant cost premiums. A patented new form of titanium metal originally developed by
Russian scientists in concert with scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory is expected initially to significantly improve medical prosthetics.
Studies have shown that bone integrates with these new metals up to 20 times faster than with conventional metals. In December, 2008, FDA approval was
received for the $2 billion dental implant market. Carpenter is studying and considering other applications, including the transportation industry
where stronger, lighter metals may impact fuel economy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008.
REVENUES. We had $607,000 and $629,000 in revenues during
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. We had no revenues for the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. During the
three month period ended September 30, 2009, we entered into a technology transfer agreement which we received $600,000. We will be entitled to annual
payment including certain royalties.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative
expenses consists of consultants, contractors, accounting, legal, travel, rent, telephone and other day to day operating expenses. General and
administrative expenses were $215,000 for the three months ended September, 2009 compared with $238,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of lower professional fees.
General and administrative expenses were $755,000 for the
nine months ended September, 2009 compared with $1,722,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. General and administrative expenses decreased
in 2009 as a result of a 2008 grant of options for 18,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.013 granted to a consultant and our
former CEO who currently serves a senior consultant. These options replaced 16,000,000 options previously granted with an exercise price of $0.05 per
share. The value of these options totaled $1,034,000 which was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based upon the following
assumptions: stock price of $0.06 at grant date; 5 year term; volatility of 144%; and discount rate of 3.18%.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses
were $25,000 and $25,000 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $52,000 and $156,000 in the same periods of the prior year
reflecting the amortization of our patents. We fully amortized these patents in 2008.
NET INCOME (LOSS). Our net income (loss) was $354,000 for
three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $(188,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in net income resulted from
revenue of $607,000 during the third quarter from our technology transfer agreement which we consummated in September 2009.
Our net loss was $(188,000) for nine months ended September
30, 2009 compared to $(1,861,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in net loss resulted from revenue of $607,000 in September
2009 from our technology transfer agreement and a decrease in general and administrative expense as a result of a decrease in stock options granted for
services.
LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Until 2009, we have relied primarily upon private
placements and subscription sales of stock to fund our continuing activities and acquisitions. To a limited extent, we have also relied upon borrowing
from our officers. We intend to fund our future operations with tour revenues augmented by private placements of our stock, if
necessary.
At September 30, 2009, our significant assets include our
cash on hand. portfolio of intellectual property, 1,075,648 shares of common stock of Novint. We also have our contracts with third parties pertaining
to technology development, acquisition, and licensing, and our strategic alliances with various scientific laboratories, educational institutions,
scientists and leaders in industry and government.
We had an increase of $59,000 in cash and cash equivalents
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a $210,000 increase in cash and cash equivalents in the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The decrease in cash generated in 2009 resulted from lower proceeds from the issuance of common stock net of offering costs ($567,000) partially
offset by less cash used in operating activities as a result of revenue from our technology transfer agreement. The increase in cash used in operating
activities was the result of revenue of $607,000 from our technology transfer agreement.
Working capital was a deficit of $992,000 on September 30,
2009 compared with a deficit of $1,165,000 on December 31, 2008.
Stockholders equity totaled a deficit of $692,000 on
September 30, 2009 compared with a deficit of $842,000 on December 31, 2008. During April 2008 through January 2009, we sold approximately $1,100,000
from a private placement offering at a price of $0.02 per share.
We have one full-time employee. We do not expect any
significant change in the total number of employees in the near future. We intend to continue to identify and target appropriate technologies for
possible acquisition and licensing over the next 12 months.
Based upon current projections, our principal cash
requirements for the next 12 months consists of (1) fixed expenses, including rent, payroll, investor relations services, public relations services,
bookkeeping services, graphic design services, consultant services, and reimbursed expenses; and (2) variable expenses, including technology research
and development, milestone payments, intellectual
14
property protection, utilities and telephone, office
supplies, additional consultants, legal and accounting. As of September 30, 2009, we had $626,000 in cash. We intend to satisfy our capital
requirements for the next 12 months by continuing to pursue private placements to raise capital, using our common stock as payment for services in lieu
of cash where appropriate, borrowing as appropriate, and our cash on hand. However, we do not know if those resources will be adequate to cover our
capital requirements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting
pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification supersedes all existing
non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The FASB will now issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
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 that affect the amount
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. A significant estimate includes the carrying value of our patents, fair value of our common stock,
assumptions used in calculating the value of stock options, depreciation and amortization.
License Agreements
In 2008, we obtained licenses to the rights of certain
patents regarding nanostructured materials developed by another company as a result of the acquisition of Metallicum. The purchase price paid for these
licenses was $305,000, which represents its fair value. We obtained an exclusive license on two patents and a non-exclusive license on the third
patent. The value attributable to license agreements is being amortized over the period of its estimated benefit period of 10 years. At September 30,
2009, accumulated amortization was $37,000. Under the terms of the agreement, we may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the
licensors.
Investments - Available-for-Sale
Investments
Investments that we designate as available-for-sale are
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We determine the cost
of the investment sold based on the specific identification method. Our available-for-sale investments include Marketable equity securities. We acquire
these equity investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. We record the realized gains or losses on the sale or exchange of
marketable equity securities in gains (losses) on other equity investments, net
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718
Compensation Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to
employees and directors based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the expected term, which represents the period of time from the grant
date that the Company expects its stock options to remain outstanding, using the simplified method as permitted by SAB 107 and SAB 110. Under this
method, the expected term is estimated as the mid-point between the time the options vest and their contractual terms. The Company continues to apply
the simplified method because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected
terms due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded and the limited number of its options which have so far vested and
become eligible for exercise.
The estimated fair value of grants of stock options and
warrants to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense, if applicable, in the financial statements. The Company did not issue any options or
warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Beginning in 2007, management outsourced its accounting function including the financial reporting
aspects to a CPA firm. Concerning these outsourced services, management did not receive a SAS 70 (type 1 nor type 2) audit report covering the internal
controls over the services provided by the CPA firm. Absent this report, and based upon managements knowledge of our operations and accounting
functions, managements assessment concerning the effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures is that those are
not effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to our senior management,
including our CEO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our known material weaknesses include:
Resources: As of December 31, 2008, we had one
full-time employee in general management and no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely
manner.
Written Policies & Procedures: We need to
prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual
basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions, and prepare, review and submit SEC filings in a timely manner.
Audit Committee: We do not have, and are not
required, to have an audit committee. An audit committee would improve oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and
procedures.
Given the existence of these material weaknesses,
management believes that other, non-identified material weaknesses may have existed and continue to exist. These material weaknesses will be remedied
as described below.
Management is committed to improving its internal controls
and will (1) perform an assessment of its internal control using the COSO framework or other framework as deemed appropriate, (2) continue to use third
party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (3) increase the frequency of
independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (4)
prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists for financial reporting and closing processes and (5) may consider appointing an audit
committee comprised of independent board members in the future.
This periodic report does not include an attestation report
by our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting.
(b) |
Changes in Internal Controls |
There have not been any changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and
suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2009, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome
could have a material effect on our financial statements.
ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
In January 2009, the Company entered into a patent license
agreement with Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the exclusive licensing use of certain technology relating to the manufacture and application of
nanostructuring metals and alloys. Pursuant to such agreement we provided a non-refundable fee and 2,000,000 shares of our common
stock.
In February 2009, the Company issued 14,250,000 shares of
common stock for approximately $201,000 from a private placement offering. The private placement originally provided for the offer and sale of up to
50,000,000 unregistered shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $0.02 per share, for an aggregate of $1,000,000 and allowed the Company
to accept or reject any oversubscription. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has sold a total of 53,657,000 shares of common stock related to the
private placement for total proceeds of $1,051,000 and incurred offering costs approximating $46,000 of which $27,000 was paid in cash and 750,000
shares of common stock were issued.
In February 2009, we issued 1,000,000 shares to a
consultant for services to be performed for a total value of $50,000 or $0.050 per share. In February 2009, we issued 300,000 shares of common stock to
a consultant for past services for a total value of $15,000 or $0.05 per share which had been included in accrued expenses at December 31,
2008.
In May 2009, we issued 2,025,000 shares of common stock
related to stock options exercised on a cashless basis. Shares exercisable under the stock option agreement totaled 3,000,000 at an exercise price of
$0.013 per share. The closing stock price on the date of exercise was $0.04 per share resulting in 975,000 shares as the portion of the stock option
agreement being retained as the cost for the 3,000,000 shares having been exercised on a cashless basis.
In May 2009, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock for
legal services with a fair value of $30,000.
