NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Company’s consolidated 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 Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Operating results for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
NOTE 2 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) (“Grand”) was established on July 31, 1992 and has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc., (“Metallicum”), Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc. (“Tamarack”) and Teneo Computing, Inc. (“Teneo”)and Senior Scientific, LLC (collectively “the Company”). Currently, Metallicum and Senior Scientific are the only operating subsidiaries; and Tamarack and Teneo are dormant. On June 12, 2008, the Company acquired Metallicum, Inc, for 15,000,000 shares of Company’s 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 nanotechonogies and nanomedicine. 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 manufacturing 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. Metallicum’s 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 and 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 began paying an annual license fee starting in February 2010 and royalties on future net sales.
In September 2009, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement with Carpenter Technologies Corporation. Wherein Carpenter will fully develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals under an exclusive technology transfer agreement from Manhattan Scientifics and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. 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.
On May 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Nanomedicine Agreement”) by and among the Company, Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc. (“Nanomedicine”), Edward, R. Flynn (“Flynn”) and Edward R. Flynn and Maureen A. Flynn, as Co-Trustees of the Edward R. Flynn and Maureen A. Flynn Revocable Trust u/t/a dated 10/25/2006 (“Trust”); and entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Senior Scientific Agreement”) by and among the Company, Senior Scientific LLC, (“Senior Scientific”) and Flynn.
Under the Nanomedicine Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the common stock of Nanomedicine. The purchase price for the common stock of Nanomedicine is 21,667,000 restricted shares of the Company’s voting common stock (less 7,667,000 shares already issued pursuant to the Acquisition Option Agreement, dated February 8, 2010, among the Company, Nanomedicine, Flynn and Senior Scientific. Nanomedicine holds the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to the early detection of diseases using nanotechnologies.
Under the Senior Scientific Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the membership interests of Senior Scientific. The purchase price for the membership interests of Senior Scientific is 1,000 restricted shares of the Company’s voting common stock. Senior Scientific operates a research laboratory in New Mexico.
The Company’s 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.
Accordingly, the Company has relied primarily upon private placements and subscription sales of stock to fund our continuing activities and acquisitions.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 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. 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated amortization was $96,000 and $75,000, respectively. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the licensors.
In 2009, the Company entered into a patent license agreement with Los Alamos National Security LLC for the exclusive use of certain technology relating to the manufacture and application of nanostructuring metals and alloys. The purchase price paid for this license agreement was $33,000 based on the fair market value of 2,000,000 shares of common stock issued. The value attributable to license agreements is being amortized over the period of its estimated benefit period of 10 years. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated amortization was $9,000 and $7,000, respectively. Under the terms of the agreement the Company began paying an annual license fee of $10,000 starting in February 2010 and, may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the licensors.
In 2010, the Company entered into the Acquisition Option Agreement and Nanomedicine Agreement for the purchase of Nanomedicine, which holds the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to early detection of diseases using nanotechnologies. The purchase price was $1,300,000 based on the fair market value of 21,667,000 shares of common stock issued. The value attributable to agreement has been fully allocated to intellectual property which is being amortized over the period of its estimated benefit period of 10 years. At September 30, 2011, accumulated amortization was $44,000.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. A significant estimate includes the carrying value of the Company’s patents, fair value of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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. The Company records the realized gains or losses on the sale of non-marketable cost method investments in gains (losses) on other equity investments, net.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS (Continued)
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of all option grants or stock issuances made to employees or directors on or after its implementation date (the beginning of fiscal 2006), as well as a portion of the fair value of each option and stock grant made to employees or directors prior to the implementation date that represents the unvested portion of these share-based awards as of such implementation date, to be recognized as an expense, as codified in ASC 718. The Company calculates stock option-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option as of its date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These amounts are expensed over the respective vesting periods of each award using the straight-line attribution method. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, and as such, amounts have been reduced by estimated forfeitures. The Company has historically issued stock options and vested and no vested stock grants to employees and outside directors whose only condition for vesting has been continued employment or service during the related vesting or restriction period.
The estimated fair value of grants of stock options and warrants to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense, if applicable, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company issued an option for 6,000,000 shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 (see Note 4) and none during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
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 Company’s investment classified as Level 3 is de minimis.
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated their 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 payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 because of the relative short term nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s available for sale securities was $43,000 at September 30, 2011 and these securities are classified as Level 1.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS (Continued)
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
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. Service revenue is recognized when specific milestones are reached or as service is provided if there are no discernable milestones.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2010, the FASB reached a consensus on the Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition which provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of the guidance as of January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis. The prospective application had no impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 8 – TECHNOLOGY SALE AND SUB-LICENSE AGREEMENT
On September 12, 2009, the Company entered into a contract with Carpenter Technology Corp. to sell certain nanostructured metal technologies acquired from Metallicum, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, to Carpenter and to provide sub-license rights to Carpenter covering license agreements that the Company has from Los Alamos Laboratories. The agreement has two distinct elements: a sale and services agreement and a sub-license agreement. The first element irrevocably transfers the field technology to Carpenter Technology Corporation and Carpenter may develop or use the technology for its own benefit. Carpenter agrees to pay a sales price of $600,000 and pay royalties for products developed using this technology. In addition, the Company can receive additional service income for assisting Carpenter in the production process. These additional services are elective and do not affect the sale of the technology. The second element of the agreement is a sub-license to Carpenter for patents (the LANS patents) that are licensed by the Company from Los Alamos Laboratories. The sub-license agreement obligates Carpenter to pay the Company a running royalty on the sales of products that require license to the LANS patents but does not have any upfront fee or annual minimum royalties.
The Company recognized the sales revenue upon transfer of the technology and the service income over the term of the agreement. The royalty income will be recognized as products are developed using the field technology or sub-license.
The Company earned $514,000 and $515,000 and recorded such amount as revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The amount received by the Company relates to services provided under the first element of the contract regarding additional services. The Company earned service income for time that a consultant to the Company, Dr. Lowe, made himself available to Carpenter in accordance with the Technology Transfer Agreement. The fees earned pursuant to the agreement with Carpenter are being proportionately recognized as revenue based upon the total fees to be collected over a 42 month period. The 42 month period is based on the time periods described in the Agreement (6 months after effective date), (12 months after effective date), and (each of the first 3 anniversaries of Annuity date where the “Annuity date” is the date of the latter of 18 months after the effective date or the date Manhattan Scientific fully satisfies its duties under of the Agreement). The cost of revenue totaling $84,000 and $113,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 represents consulting fees paid to Dr. Lowe during the period.

OVERVIEW
COMPANY HISTORY
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) (“Grand”) was established on July 31, 1992 and has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc., (“Metallicum”), Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc. (“Tamarack”) and Teneo Computing, Inc. (“Teneo”) and Senior Scientific, LLC (collectively “the Company”). Currently, Metallicum and Senior Scientific are the only operating subsidiaries; and Tamarack and Teneo are dormant. On June 12, 2008, we acquired Metallicum, Inc, for 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. On May 31, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% ownership of SNMI. Concurrently, we entered and completed a Purchase Agreement with Senior Scientific, LLC, and Edward R. Flynn and Maureen A. Flynn to acquire 100% of the voting stock Senior Scientific, LLC in exchange for 1,000 shares of our common stock.
Manhattan Scientifics, Inc.'s business model capitalizes on inventions and technology from which profits are created through licensing. MSI is dedicated to maximizing value for its shareholders by identifying, supporting, patenting and marketing technical innovation by harvesting top technologies to bring products to the marketplace.
We emphasize novel technology in the nanomedicine space with the potential to be disruptive and the ability to establish sustainable businesses.. Nanotechnology is the use and manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. To achieve this goal, we continue to identify emerging technologies through strategic alliances with scientific laboratories, educational institutions, scientists and leaders in industry and government. We have a long standing relationship with Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico.
ACQUISITIONS
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. At March 31, 2011, one milestone was met. Metallicum was granted an exclusive license by The Los Alamos National Laboratory on patents related to nanostructured materials. 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.
On May 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Nanomedicine Agreement”) by and among the Company, Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc. (“Nanomedicine”), Edward, R. Flynn (“Flynn”) and Edward R. Flynn and Maureen A. Flynn, as Co-Trustees of the Edward R. Flynn and Maureen A. Flynn Revocable Trust u/t/a dated 10/25/2006 (“Trust”); and entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Senior Scientific Agreement”) by and among the Company, Senior Scientific LLC, (“Senior Scientific”) and Flynn.
Under the Nanomedicine Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the common stock of Nanomedicine. The purchase price for the common stock of Nanomedicine is 21,667,000 restricted shares of the Company’s voting common stock (less 7,667,000 shares already issued pursuant to the Acquisition Option Agreement, dated February 8, 2010 (“Option Agreement”), among the Company, Nanomedicine, Flynn and Senior Scientific. Nanomedicine holds the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to the early detection of diseases using nanotechnologies owned by Nanomedicine.
Under the Senior Scientific Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the membership interests of Senior Scientific. The purchase price for the membership interests of Senior Scientific is 1,000 restricted shares of the Company’s voting common stock. Senior Scientific operates a research laboratory in New Mexico.

TECHNOLOGIES
ADVANCED METALS
Our licensed proprietary process will enable our commercial partners the ability to build super-strength metals and alloys to make products that weigh far less than in the past and without significant cost premiums. In September 2009, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement and sale with Carpenter Technology Corporation, (“Carpenter”) wherein Carpenter will fully develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals under an exclusive agreement with Manhattan Scientifics. Metallicum intends to establish other manufacturing partner relationships significant customers in the medical device and prosthetics industries.
NANOMEDICINE
Our acquisition of Nanomedicine and Senior Scientific gives us the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to the detection and monitoring of diseases using nanotechnologies developed by Senior Scientific and now owned by Nanomedicine. The technology is intended for the early detection of cancers, quantitative in vivo assessments of tumors, and similar applications with other diseases identifiable by cell surface markers,. The technology does not require surgery, biopsy, radioactivity, or exotically expensive instruments. Nanoparticles are introduced to the body, for example by intravenous injection. A sensitive magnetic instrument is used to magnetize and measure the nanoparticles that have bound to the specific targets (e.g., cells of a specific type of cancer). Other tissues, bone, scars, etc. are all transparent to the magnetic fields used, so the technology can be used to image and measure tumors in places inaccessible to other tests, and tumors while they are still small enough to be treatable. The nanoparticles are nontoxic, and the magnetic instrument is not harmful or expensive, so the tests can be repeated as needed.
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
In the recent past, we have worked to develop and commercialize three technologies:
·
|
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.”
|
·
|
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.
|
We are not presently using our resources to develop these three technologies but will look for opportunities to commercialize and monetize these technologies. We are also seeking to develop corporate opportunities to benefit our shareholders; however, other than as set forth in this annual report, we have not executed definitive agreements or finalized arrangements for any other technologies or opportunities as of the date of this Form 10-Q
OUR DEVELOPMENT MODEL
Our goal has been to influence the future through the development of potentially disruptive or sea-change technologies. Our business model has previously been 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.
Since our technologies are still in their development phase, the need for operating and acquisition capital is a continuous concern requiring the ongoing efforts of our management. The Company’s 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.
We utilize the intellectual property sale/licensing model, and not a production model, though management is opportunistic and is open to explore all methods leading to commercializing our technologies. We intend to consider all appropriate avenues for the commercialization of our technologies.
13
ADVANCED MATERIALS
Our business model is based on licensing its technology to customers such as metals manufacturers. Although competing commercial products are provided by existing specialty metals companies, the only competing processes for creating nanostructured metals are either limited or cannot be economically scaled. Metallicum does not yet face direct competition, but expects competition will emerge as the nanostructured metals are commercialized.
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 with a fair market value of $33,000. Additionally, we pay an annual license fee of $10,000 starting in February 2010 and royalties on future net sales.
Target markets for the nanostructured metals include smaller medical implants and stronger and lighter space fasteners for the aerospace industry. In December 2008, a manufacturing joint venture partner in Albuquerque, N.M. received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance to market nanostructued 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, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement with Carpenter 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 agreement with Carpenter does not cover aluminum and magnesium and the company is presently in talks with manufactures of both metals. Until we sign contracts with other manufacturers, nearly all of our revenue will be generated from our sale of the technology to Carpenter.
On September 12, 2009, the Company entered into a contract with Carpenter Technology Corp. to sell certain nanostructured metal technologies acquired from Metallicum, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, to Carpenter and to provide sub-license rights to Carpenter covering license agreements that the Company has from Los Alamos Laboratories. The agreement has two distinct elements: a sale and services agreement and a sub-license agreement. The first element irrevocably transfers the field technology to Carpenter Technology Corporation and Carpenter may develop or use the technology for its own benefit. Carpenter agreed to pay a sales price of $600,000 and pay royalties for products developed using this technology. In addition, the Company will receive additional service income for assisting Carpenter in the production process. These additional services were elective and do not affect the sale of the technology. The second element of the agreement is a sub-license to Carpenter for patents (the LANS patents) that are licensed by the Company from Los Alamos National Laboratories. The sub-license agreement obligates Carpenter to pay the Company a running royalty on the sales of products that require a license to the LANS patents. According to a recent presentation given by Carpenter to its shareholders, they are targeting medical and aerospace markets with a market size of greater than $100 million.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company earned $2,030,000 and $1,687,000 from Carpenter. The Company has received the following amounts from Carpenter:
-
|
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received $0.6 million for the sale of certain technology;
|
-
|
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company, received a $1.0 million one-time payment for satisfying a performance obligation under the Technology Transfer Agreement
|
-
|
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company received $0.6 million of income or assisting with the development of the technology and is recognizing this income over the term of the Agreement.
|
-
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company received $0.6 million of income or assisting with the development of the technology and is recognizing this income over the term of the Agreement.
|
The Company recognized the sales revenue upon transfer of the technology and satisfying the performance obligation by Manhattan to facilitate the purchase of a current generation ECAP-C production machine by Carpenter and will recognize the service income over the term of the agreement. The royalty income will be recognized as products are developed using the field technology or sub-license.
The fees earned pursuant to the agreement with Carpenter are being proportionately recognized as revenue based upon the total fees to be collected over a 42 month period. The 42 month period is based on the time periods described in the Agreement (6 months after effective date), (12 months after effective date), and (each of the first 3 anniversaries of Annuity date where the “Annuity date” is the date of the latter of 18 months after the effective date or the date Manhattan Scientific fully satisfies its duties under of the Agreement).The cost of revenue totaling $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $37,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and $56,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $75,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, for the same period represents consulting fees paid to Dr. Lowe during the period.

NANOMEDICINE
Our subsidiary, Scientific Nanomedicine holds patented technologies that can use biosafe nanoparticles and sensitive magnetic sensors to detect and measure cancer cells in biopsies or in the human body. The technology is highly specific – it measures the exact type of cancer and does not generate false positive results from benign growths, calcifications, or other spurious signals that complicate current detection methods. It is also very sensitive – it can measure tumors that are 1000-times smaller than is possible with currently available techniques. This combination of features has the potential to revolutionize how cancer is detected and treated.
Conventional cancer treatment starts when a cancer has already grown to hundreds of millions of cells – large enough to be detectable by X-rays, ultrasound, or to cause external symptoms. Even then, distinguishing between benign conditions and cancer is difficult, resulting in missed cancers, exploratory surgeries or unnecessary treatment, and needless patient anxiety. Treatments tend towards “overkill,” since there are no effective methods to measure small changes in the cancer to reliably know when all cancer cells have been eliminated, or to detect metastases or recurrences before they are again large enough to be deadly. Cancer is a cellular phenomena, but conventional technology does not measure cells. The mismatch causes huge costs – we need to find and treat cancer cells, but current technology forces us to find shapes and remove or kill all kinds of cells. Billions of dollars each year are wasted, and many lives shattered or lost, because cancer is essentially invisible until it is big enough to cause problems.
Our technology makes possible the detection of specific cancer cells: physicians can select a broad range for initial diagnosis, or a single type for monitoring therapy or detecting metastases. Small quantities of biosafe nanoparticles with attached targeting agents are introduced into the patient where they “stick” only to the targeted cancer cells. A weak magnetic field is applied to magnetize the particles, and sensitive magnetic detectors count the number of particles that have stuck to cancer cells. Due to the highly specialized nature of both the nanoparticles and our detection device, only those particles stuck to their targeted cells are detected, making the results highly specific, objective (the results depend only on the cells, not a human interpretation of an image), and sensitive (only a few thousand cells are required, instead of hundreds of millions for conventional techniques).
Our technology makes possible improvements across a wide range of cancer fighting areas: detection of cancers years earlier; noninvasive, specific diagnosis after conventional screening; earlier, faster discovery of drugs; precise, personalized monitoring of therapy; detection of metastases while still treatable; and accurate monitoring of new therapies. Our technology has been proven in animal models using human cancer cells, in human trials using bone marrow biopsy samples, and is the subject of over 20 patent applications and14 peer-reviewed publications. Our success will depend in part on its ability to obtain regulatory approvals required for human application of its technologies, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained.
Our technology is a platform technology that has many possible applications. Our business model has been designed to fit these several applications, but, generally, the instrument will be placed at low cost, and recurring revenue realized on consumable targeted nanoparticles. Overall, we anticipate that our technology will be acquired or licensed by a large company once the first few applications are approved and in the market (if not before).
The total market for all applications of our technology is hard to estimate, given the breadth of the platform and our ability to develop the commercial application. Our expected development model anticipates first market entries in the United States may include the following (estimated number of procedures and market opportunities calculated from both publicly available sources and discussions with industry experts):
Procedure
|
Annual Number of Procedures
|
Gross Estimated Annual Market Opportunity
|
Noninvasive biopsy for breast cancer follow-up
|
600,000
|
$300 million
|
Noninvasive biopsy for ovarian cancer diagnosis
|
200,000
|
$100 million
|
Prostate cancer metastases tracking
|
240,000
|
$200 million
|
We have received interest from clinicians in applying our technology to other cancers and other stages of cancer therapy. The selection of the initial market entries will be informed by size of market, and by time and risk of regulatory requirements. More than 100 million screening tests for cancer are performed each year in the US at a cost of over $14 billion. Ultimately, our technology has the potential to replace these screening tests or the more expensive, invasive tests that follow a positive screening result.
15
Regulatory approvals are required for applications of the technology in humans. Regulatory approval for in vivo applications may require demonstration that the targeted nanoparticles are safe for injection into humans, that the instrument is also safe, and that the resulting measurement provides information useful in assessing the state of a patient. We believe that the constituent parts of the targeted nanoparticles have already been approved for injection in humans in other applications. Initial toxicology studies in cell cultures suggest that the combination of the parts into targeted nanoparticles is not toxic. Significant effort is still required to document these results under the laboratory and manufacturing practices that the FDA is likely to require. The instrument comprises passive sensors and a magnetizing system, which applies a magnetic field much less powerful than that already approved in other instruments. The correlation of the instrument reading to the underlying biological phenomena has been demonstrated in preclinical studies for selected cancer/antibody combinations. Significant effort is still required to demonstrate the translation of the preclinical results to human pilot studies. We are currently working on defining the projects required to secure regulatory approval.
To develop our technology, we are seeking $5 million in additional financing to: possibly place and support instruments at the request of collaborators at two of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States; perform studies demonstrating the application of our technology to specific clinical needs; perfect and protect the intellectual property surrounding our instrument, our nanoparticles, and our clinical applications; and initiate the process of regulatory approval.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY / RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In 2008, 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. The purchase price paid for these licenses was $305,000, which represents its fair value. 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.
In 2011, we purchased Scientific Nanomedicine and Senior Scientific to acquire their technology. Since October 1, 2009, Scientific Nanomedicine and Senior Scientific have filed for over twenty patents.
Our ability to compete depends in part on the protection of and our ability to defend our proprietary technology and on the goodwill associated with our trade names, service marks and other proprietary rights. However, we do not know if current laws will provide us with sufficient enough protection that others will not develop technologies similar or superior to ours, or that third parties will not copy or otherwise obtain or use our technologies without our authorization.
The success of our business will depend, in part, to identify technology, obtain patents, protect and enforce patents once issued and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Our success will also depend on our ability to maintain exclusive rights to trade secrets and proprietary technology we own, are currently developing and will develop. We can give no assurance that any issued patents will provide us with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by others, or that the patents of others will not restrict our ability to conduct business.
In addition, we rely on certain technology licensed with a perpetual term from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and may be required to license additional technologies in the future. We do not know if these third-party licenses will be available or will continue to be available to us on acceptable commercial terms or at all. The inability to enter into and maintain any of these licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations.
Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights could entail significant expense. In addition, we do not know if third parties will bring claims of copyright or trademark infringement against us or claim that our use of certain technologies violates a patent or other intellectual property. Any claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming and expensive to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention, require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements or prevent us from using important technologies or methods, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations.
SALES AND MARKETING
Although our technologies presently are in the development stage, we are engaged in an early commercialization program intended to facilitate the transition from development to licensing, manufacturing and/or sale. This program consists of preliminary dialogues with potential strategic partners, investors, manufacturers, potential licensees and/or purchasers.
CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
To date, all of our revenue was generated by one customer, Carpenter Technology Corporation. We did not have any significant suppliers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010.
GROSS PROFIT. The $171,000 of revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to service income and is comparable to the $172,000 in revenue earned during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The Company earned service income for time that a consultant to the Company, Dr. Lowe, made himself available to Carpenter in accordance with the Technology Transfer Agreement. The fees earned pursuant to the agreement with Carpenter are being proportionately recognized as revenue based upon the total fees to be collected over a 42 month period. The 42 month period is based on the time periods described in the Agreement (6 months after effective date), (12 months after effective date), and (each of the first 3 anniversaries of Annuity date where the “Annuity date” is the date of the latter of 18 months after the effective date or the date Manhattan Scientific fully satisfies its duties under of the Agreement). The cost of revenue totaling $28,000 and $38,000 for the same periods represents consulting fees paid to Dr. Lowe during the period.
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 $1,196,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $459,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of costs incurred related to operating a laboratory for Senior Scientific, researching patents for Senior Scientific technology and costs associated with investor relations.
NET LOSS. Our net loss was $1,065,000 for three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $338,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net loss resulted from higher general and administrative costs.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS: Our comprehensive loss was $1,097,000 for three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to comprehensive loss of $392,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The comprehensive loss was the result of a higher net loss in the second quarter of 2011 over the second quarter of 2010 and a $32,000 unrealized loss in the market value of our shares of Novint Technologies, Inc. (“Novint”) during the third quarter of 2011. As of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we owned 1,075,648 shares of common stock of Novint. Novint had a quoted market price on the Pink Sheets of $0.04 as of September 30, 2011 and $0.09 as of September 30, 2010.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010.
GROSS PROFIT. The $514,000 of revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to service income and is comparable to the $515,000 in revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company earned service income for time that a consultant to the Company, Dr. Lowe, made himself available to Carpenter in accordance with the Technology Transfer Agreement. The fees earned pursuant to the agreement with Carpenter are being proportionately recognized as revenue based upon the total fees to be collected over a 42 month period. The 42 month period is based on the time periods described in the Agreement (6 months after effective date), (12 months after effective date), and (each of the first 3 anniversaries of Annuity date where the “Annuity date” is the date of the latter of 18 months after the effective date or the date Manhattan Scientific fully satisfies its duties under of the Agreement). The cost of revenue totaling $84,000 and $113,000 for the same periods represents consulting fees paid to Dr. Lowe during the period.
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 $2,208,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $1,169,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of costs incurred related to operating a laboratory for Senior Scientific, researching patents for Senior Scientific technology and costs associated with investor relations.
NET LOSS. Our net loss was $1,815,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $805,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net loss resulted from higher gross profit partially offset by higher general and administrative costs.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS: Our comprehensive loss was $1,837,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $859,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in comprehensive loss was the result of a higher net loss in during the first nine months of 2011 over the nine months of 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Stockholders’ equity totaled $195,000 on September 30, 2011 and the working capital was a deficit of $595,000 on such date.
At September 30, 2011, our significant assets include our portfolio of intellectual property relating to the various technologies, our contracts with third parties pertaining to technology development, acquisition, and licensing, and 1,075,648 shares of common stock of Novint; our cash on hand; and our strategic alliances with various scientific laboratories, educational institutions, scientists and leaders in industry and government.
17
We had a decrease of $798,000 in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of cash used in operating activities from an increase in our net loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in operating activities was $796,000 compared to $264,000 used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily as a result of an increase in our net loss. There was no cash used in investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Based upon current projections, our principal cash requirements for the next 12 months consists of (1) fixed expenses, including payroll, investor relations services, public relations services, bookkeeping services, consultant services, and rent; and (2) variable expenses, including technology research and development, milestone payments and intellectual property protection, and additional scientific consultants. As of September 30, 2011, we had $257,000 in cash.
To develop our technology, we are seeking $5 million in additional financing to: possibly place and support instruments at the request of collaborators at two of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States; perform studies demonstrating the application of our technology to specific clinical needs; perfect and protect the intellectual property surrounding our instrument, our nanoparticles, and our clinical applications; and initiate the process of regulatory approval.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2010, the FASB reached a consensus on the Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition which provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of the guidance as of January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis. The prospective application had no impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by us to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.
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.
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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
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.
18
The estimated fair value of grants of stock options and warrants to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense, if applicable, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company did not issue any options or warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Revenue Recognition
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. Service revenue is recognized when specific milestones are reached or as service is provided if there are no discernable milestones.
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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation described above, our management concluded that they believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management identified the weaknesses discussed below.
Identified Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Although the Company does not process many transactions, management identified material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011:
As of September 30, 2011, 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 and expertise necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner.
Further, we do not have an audit committee. An audit committee would improve oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company prepared 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 There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our 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 March 31, 2011, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 8, 2011, the Company issued 525,000 shares of common stock for public relations services. The shares were valued at $42,000 or $0.08 per share based on the current fair value of such shares on the date of the public relations services agreement.
On August 28, 2011, the Company issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock (2,000,000 shares to a director of the Company and 1,000,000 shares to a consultant). The shares were valued at $210,000 or $0.07 per share based on the current fair value of such shares on the date of the award.
