ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

COMPANY HISTORY

 

Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. (the "Company" or "Manhattan Scientifics"), a Delaware corporation, was established on July 31, 1992 and has two operating wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc., ("Metallicum") and Senior Scientific LLC ("Senior Scientific"). On June 12, 2008, the Company acquired Metallicum, Inc. for 15,000,000 shares of Company's common stock. On May 31, 2011, the company acquired Senior Scientific for 21,668,000 shares of Company's common stock.

 

Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. is focused on technology transfer and commercialization of these transformative technologies in the nano medicine space. 

 

TWO BUSINESSES EXIST WITHIN MANHATTAN SCIENTIFICS

 

Two nanotechnology businesses exist within Manhattan Scientifics. Both "units" are wholly-owned subsidiaries, both focused on nanotechnology applications in medicine.

 

The first (Metallicum) – In 2008, Manhattan Scientifics acquired Metallicum Inc., along with its licensed patented nanostructured metals technology. We also licensed additional related intellectual property from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and filed additional patent applications related to the technology. The technology enables metals with uniform, ultrafine grains. This provides greater strength, lighter weight, and enhanced biocompatibility. It provides significant benefits across a wide range of metal applications – anywhere strength or weight is a concern. 

 

Manhattan's second business is called Senior Scientific and is at the crossroads of biotechnology and nanotechnology.

Our novel bioimaging and nanomagnetic detection systems have been developed specifically to detect cancer and other diseases earlier and with higher specificity than we believe is currently possible. We have developed proprietary hardware and software for the highly sensitive detection of nanomagnetic particles that can be linked to antibodies for the detection and treatment of cancer and other human diseases—all without the use of ionizing radiation or large magnetic fields.

 

Our novel technologies make possible the earlier detection of cancer in vivo, the ability to analyze biopsies with greater sensitivity and accuracy, the ability to monitor the therapeutic effectiveness of anticancer treatments—both in humans and in animal models—and allow us to detect cancer recurrence with significantly improved sensitivity. Senior Scientific's website is www.SeniorScientific.com

 

The technology was developed by Edward R. Flynn, PhD, Senior Scientific's founder and chief scientist. 

 

ACQUISITIONS

 

In June 2008, we acquired Metallicum and its licensed patented technology. We entered into a stock purchase agreement with Metallicum to acquire all of the outstanding capital in exchange for 15,000,000 restricted 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 December 31, 2011, one milestone was met. Metallicum was granted an exclusive license by The Los Alamos National Laboratory on patents related to nanostructured metals. In September 2009, we entered into a technology transfer agreement and sale with Carpenter Technology Corporation, ("Carpenter") wherein Carpenter was responsible to develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals. On February 11, 2015, the Company and Carpenter entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which the parties provided a full release of one another, Carpenter paid the Company $8,000,000, Carpenter transferred to the Company all intellectual and physical property that was part of the original agreement, Carpenter agreed to provide follow-on technical assistance and Carpenter provided a list of all customers and contacts.

 

On May 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to acquire Senior Scientific and Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc. ("Scientific Nanomedicine" or "SNMI"). We subsequently dissolved Scientific Nanomedicine and transferred all remaining assets to Senior Scientific. The total purchase price was 21,668,000 restricted shares of our common stock (less 7,667,000 shares previously issued pursuant to an option agreement). As a result of this acquisition, we own patented technologies that can use biosafe nanoparticles and sensitive magnetic sensors to detect and measure cancer cells in biopsies or in the human body with the potential to transform how cancer is detected and treated.

 

ADVANCED METALS

 

The goal of our licensed proprietary process will be to enable our commercial partners 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. As described above, the Company and Carpenter terminated their relationship in February 2015.

 

NANOMEDICINE

 

Our acquisition of Senior Scientific gives us the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to the detection and monitoring of diseases using nanotechnologies. 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 low magnetic field 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 detect and measure tumors in places inaccessible to other tests, and including tumors while they are still small enough to be treatable. The nanoparticles are nontoxic, and the low magnetic field instrument is not harmful or expensive, so the tests can be repeated as needed. The following bullet points summarize management's current beliefs with respect to the benefits and commercialization of our nanomedicine technology:

·

The initial proof-of-principle for the MRX™ technology was demonstrated with a research prototype instrument funded by the National Institutes of Health as developed by Senior Scientific;

 

·

The technology can detect tumors of a mass of ~100,000 cells, and is currently being tested to determine the lower limit of detection;

 

·

The system uses technologies and methods that are patented or held as trade secrets, which we hope to develop for commercialization along with the nanoparticles that will be used to detect cancer;

 

·

In Q4 2013, we executed a formal agreement with the MD Anderson Cancer Center for initial testing and validation of the Technology and delivered an MRX system to them in Q2 of 2014; the Agreement was subsequently renewed and extended for a three year period in Q4 2015;

 

·

In Q1 2016, we executed formal research collaborations with two additional cancer research centers, the University of Michigan Medical School and Weill Cornell Medicine, to assist us with preclinical validation of the technology for various forms of cancer;

 

·

Our revenue model is focused on lab/animal research as well as human medical applications;

 

·

Regulatory clearance may not be needed for lab/animal uses; and

 

·

The FDA has provided us with initial guidance on the expected route for regulatory clearance as a medical device.

 

The largest market that we will pursue is in human clinical applications. Many cancers are fatal because they are asymptomatic until later stages. Our goal is to allow doctors to locate tumor sites while the tumor is still small, and monitor the effectiveness of therapy.

 

Our first human applications are likely to be in the detection of solid tumors, like cancer. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of gynecological cancers, in part because it stays hidden from current techniques until it has grown to billions of cells and hundreds of sites. We are working with Dr. Robert C. Bast Jr. of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to bring the MRX™ technology to bear on this disease. We have expanded on the work with MD Anderson by collaborating with two other institutions on breast cancer and prostate cancer.

 

Bringing the MRX™ technology to clinical use requires that we demonstrate the technology in animal experiments, and then in clinical trials. Applying the MRX™ technology to animal experiments reveals an earlier market possibility. Millions of animals are used in medical research each year, and this research will benefit from the marked increase in sensitivity available from our MRX™ technology. We have designed and built instruments for our collaborations which could be used as a basis for developing a commercial design for the pre-clinical animal research market. We will use these instruments to further optimize nanoparticle performances, software tools, and animal model-based in-vivo testing procedures. We may sell or place additional instruments in other academic or clinical cancer research institutes during this year. Results from the collaborations will be used to establish the earliest and mostly likely route to human clinical testing and can be used for marketing to the pharmaceutical preclinical animal research. Additionally, the study results are expected to fuel negotiations with strategic potential partners or prospective acquirers.

 

Nanoparticles: The nanoparticles are the razor blade or ink cartridge in our business model. The science was originally proven using nanoparticle from sources outside the company. It is very important for the performance of our technology that we have control of the nanoparticles; thus the company has worked to create our own custom made nanoparticles. Our custom made nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent performance characteristics. We are working on improving performance, stability, and yield in collaboration with CINT (Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies) to support commercial sales.

OUR DEVELOPMENT MODEL

 

Our goal has been to influence the future through the development of potentially life changing 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.

 

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 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.

 

DESCRIPTION OF TECHNOLOGIES

 

ADVANCED METALS

 

Our business model is based on licensing metals technology to 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 metal is 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 are required to pay an annual license fee of $10,000 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, NM 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, the Company entered into a contract with Carpenter to sell certain nanostructured metal technologies acquired from Metallicum, 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.

In January 2013, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with a party granting certain licensing rights to the Company's nanostructured metal technology. As consideration the Company received $240,000 during 2013 and $30,000 in 2014.As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $0 and $642,000 as revenue related to the licensing agreement. The Company has received the following amounts from Carpenter:

 

 

·

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received from Carpenter $0.6 million of minimum royalty payment related to the Agreement.

 

·

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received from Carpenter $0.3 million of income and $0.2 million from a licensing agreement.

 

·

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received $0.6 million for the sale of certain technology;

 

·

During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company received from Carpenter $0.6 million of income for assisting with development of the technology and is recognizing the income over the term of the Agreement.

 

·

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received a $1,000,000 one-time payment for satisfying a performance obligation under the Technology Transfer Agreement.

 

On February 11, 2015, the Company and Carpenter entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which the parties provided a full release of one another, Carpenter paid the Company $8,000,000, Carpenter transferred to the Company all intellectual and physical property that was part of the original agreement, Carpenter agreed to provide follow-on technical assistance and Carpenter provided a list of all customers and contacts. Following the return of the Company's nanostructured metal technology, the Company has commenced exploring strategic alternatives for its Metallicum division. At this time we are exploring and working with partner companies in the fields of titanium dental implants, titanium and magnesium medical devices, high voltage aluminum conductors as well as oil and gas field applications.

 

NANOMEDICINE

 

Our subsidiary, Senior Scientific, 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 specific – i.e. it measures a particular 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 transform how cancer is detected and treated.

 

We have invested approximately $7.5 million in the Senior Scientific cancer project in the past three years. We continue to progress in advancing the technology toward commercialization. 

 

We have implemented a nanoparticle production facility. Our magnetic relaxometry measurements are now performed with our own nanoparticles, and we have begun commercial sales of our nanoparticles to others.

 

 

·

Senior Scientific has joined both BIOCOM and NMBio as a corporate member, improving our access to and visibility within the general biopharmaceutical and New Mexico biotechnology communities.

 

·

In early 2015 we hired a new President with senior managerial expertise in medical product commercialization and direct experience in cancer diagnostics. Additionally, in February 2016 we hired a Vice President of R&D with direct experience in developing nanoparticles for targeted delivery to cancer.

 

·

We are continuing to fund the development a version of our technology using atomic magnetometer technology, which was originally funded by an NIH grant. We believe the atomic magnetometer-based instrument will improve performance and create larger market opportunities for this technology relative to our current SQUID-based platform.

 

 
7
 

 

We expect to undertake the safety and toxicology studies necessary to show that our nanoparticles are safe for use in humans. Significant effort will be required to document the laboratory and manufacturing processes for nanoparticle production that the FDA are likely to require.

 

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.

 

All of these programs are designed to validate our technology for the market, which will produce value for our shareholders. Our technology makes possible the detection of specific cancer cells. Physicians may then 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.

 

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, and 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.

 

On May 31, 2011, we acquired Senior Scientific and all of its intellectual property. Incident to the acquisition, we assigned certain of the intellectual property to Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc., a subsidiary formed solely for that purpose. The need for that subsidiary has passed, and we have assigned all the intellectual property to Senior Scientific. Senior Scientific's patent estate includes the patents and applications in the following schedule. We continue to prosecute our patent applications and file new applications as the technology progresses.

Analysis and data acquisition software copyrights

 

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.

 

COMPETITION

 

As a result of our licensed technology, we do not have any direct competitors in our advanced materials operations. We may, however, face competition from leading researchers and manufacturers worldwide that develop competing technology.

 

With respect to our nanomedicine technology, our cancer detection technology will face competition primarily from companies such as Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cepheid Inc., Philips, GE Healthcare, Siemens, Gen-Probe Incorporated, MDxHealth SA, EpiGenomics AG, Roche Diagnostics and Sequenom, Inc.

 

 
11
 

 

Competitors may successfully challenge our licensed technology, produce similar products that do not infringe our licensed technology or produce products in countries where we have not applied for intellectual property protection. Many of these competitors may have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. Furthermore, competitors may introduce new products that address our potential markets. Competition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of our operations.

 

The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and constantly evolving. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our technology markets include without limitation:

 

·

capitalization;

·

cost of product;

·

first to market with product in market segment;

·

strong intellectual portfolio;

·

product reliability;

·

strong customer base; and

·

strong manufacturing and supplier relationships.

 

CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, all of our revenue was generated by one customer. We did not have any significant suppliers.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had one full-time employee in general management as well as 10 employees employed by Senior Scientific and Metallicum. We do not expect any significant change in the total number of employees in the near future. Most of our research and development work has been performed by employees of our various research and development independent contractors (see below). We have historically indirectly funded the salaries of these individuals through our contract research and development payments to their employers. Although not technically our employees, we have considered these individuals to be an integral part of our research and development team. None of our employees or contractors is members of any union or collective bargaining organization. We consider our relationships with our employee and our independent contractor employees to be good.

 

As noted above, a significant portion of our research and development has been performed by independent contractors from whom we acquired or licensed certain technologies, and their various employees. Our independent contractors utilize a number of their own various employees to satisfy their research and development obligations to us, and their employees are considered to be part of our research and development team.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this Report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and our business. If you decide to buy our securities, you should be able to afford a complete loss of your investment.

 

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE OUR NEW TECHNOLOGIES WHICH WOULD RESULT IN CONTINUED LOSSES.

 

We are currently developing new technologies and a commercial product. We have generated our first revenues but we are unable to project when we will achieve regular profitability, if at all. As is the case with any new technology, we expect the development process to continue. We cannot assure that our resources will be able to develop and commercialize our technology fast enough to meet market requirements. We can also not assure that our technology will gain market acceptance and that we will be able to overcome obstacles, such as potential FDA approvals. The failure to successfully develop and commercialize the technologies would result in continued losses and may require us to curtail operations.

 

THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS MAY REQUIRE CONTINUED FUNDING. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THE MONEY WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS UNTIL WE EARN SIGNIFICANT REVENUES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO CURTAIL OR TO CEASE OUR OPERATIONS AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

 

Our ability to develop our business depends upon our receipt of money to continue our operations while we introduce our products and a market for them develops. If this funding is not received as needed, it is unlikely that we could continue our business, in which case you would lose your entire investment. Our ability to access the capital markets has been hindered generally by the general difficult economic climate, beginning in 2008, for small technology concept companies, without significant revenues or earnings.

 

To the extent that we need additional funding, we cannot assure you that such financing will be available to us when needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to curtail the commercialization of our products and possibly cease our operations.

 

OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTUATE OUR BUSINESS MODEL MAY BE LIMITED, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY EFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.

 

Our future performance will depend to a substantial degree upon our ability to effectuate and generate revenues from our licensing and royalty business model. As a result, we may continue to incur substantial operating losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from the sale or license of our products. There can be no assurance that businesses and customers will adopt our technology and products, or that businesses and prospective customers will agree to pay for or license our products. In the event that we are not able to significantly increase the number of customers that purchase or license our products, or if we are unable to charge the necessary prices or license fees, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

 

WE MAY FACE STRONG COMPETITION FROM LARGER, ESTABLISHED COMPANIES.

 

We likely will face intense competition from other companies, both globally and within the United States, in the development of haptics and fuel cell technologies, virtually all of which can be expected to have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases and significantly more financial resources and research and development facilities than Manhattan Scientifics. There can be no assurance that developments by our current or potential competitors will not render our proposed products obsolete.

 

 
13
 

 

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR WE COULD BECOME INVOLVED IN LITIGATION WITH OTHERS REGARDING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. EITHER OF THESE EVENTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

 

We rely on a combination of intellectual property law, nondisclosure, trade secret and other contractual and technical measures to protect our proprietary right. Our success will depend, in part, on our technology's commercial viability and on the strength of our intellectual property rights. However, we cannot assure you that these provisions will be adequate to protect our intellectual property. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

 

Although we believe that our intellectual property does not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, competitors may claim that we have infringed on their products.

 

We could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party's intellectual property rights as well as in enforcing our rights against others, and if we are found to infringe, the manufacture, sale and use of our or our customers' or partners' products could be enjoined. Any claims against us, with or without merit, would likely be time-consuming, requiring our management team to dedicate substantial time to addressing the issues presented. Furthermore, the parties bringing claims may have greater resources than we do.

 

OUR MANAGEMENT IS ABLE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER ALL MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

 

Our existing directors and executive officers are the beneficial owners of approximately 18% of the outstanding shares of common stock, excluding stock options and warrants. As a result, our existing directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their respective affiliates, if acting together, would be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECREASE DUE TO FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

 

The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including without limitation:

 

·

variations in anticipated or actual results of operations;

·

announcements of new products or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

·

changes in earnings estimates of operational results by analysts;

·

inability of market makers to combat short positions on the stock;

·

an overall downturn in the financial markets and stock markets;

·

the use of stock to pay employees and consultants if sufficient working capital is not available;

·

inability of the market to absorb large blocks of stock sold into the market; and

·

developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property.

 

Moreover, the stock market from time-to-time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for small technology companies without significant revenues. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of their common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a price we deem appropriate.

 

 
14
 

 

ALL OF OUR 2015 REVENUE IS GENERATED FROM ONE CUSTOMER.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our revenue were generated by one customer, which relationship was terminated in February 2015.

 

WE HAVE NOT PAID CASH DIVIDENDS AND IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WE WILL PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

 

We plan to use all of our earnings, to the extent we have significant earnings, to fund our operations. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our Common Stock. You should not expect to receive cash dividends on our Common Stock.

 

WE MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO RUN OUR OPERATIONS.

 

If we are unable to obtain further financing, it may jeopardize our ability to continue our operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our shareholders and/or increased debt service commitments. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to sufficiently develop or maintain our existing operations.

 

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK WITHOUT ASKING FOR SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL, WHICH COULD CAUSE YOUR INVESTMENT TO BE DILUTED.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 950,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of Common Stock is generally not subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our Common Stock may have the effect of further diluting your investment.

 

We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our Common Stock. The issuance of additional Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock by our management will also have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our Common Stock.

 

LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY AFFECT OUR SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Our Common Stock currently is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than national exchanges. Consequently, the liquidity of our securities could be impaired, not only in the number of securities which could be bought and sold, but also through SEC regulations, delays in the timing of transactions, difficulties in obtaining price quotations, reduction in security analysts' and the new media's coverage of us, if any, and lower prices for our securities than might otherwise be attained. This circumstance could have an adverse effect on the ability of an investor to sell any shares of our common stock as well as on the selling price for such shares. In addition, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by various additional factors, including, but not limited to, our business performance, and industry dynamics or changes in general economic conditions.

 

 
15
 

 

APPLICABILITY OF "PENNY STOCK RULES" TO BROKER-DEALER SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE LIQUIDITY AND MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

A penny stock is generally a stock that is not listed on national securities exchange and is quoted on the "pink sheets" or on the OTC Bulletin Board, has a price per share of less than $5.00 and is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

 

The penny stock trading rules impose additional duties and responsibilities upon broker-dealers and salespersons effecting purchase and sale transactions in Common Stock and other equity securities, including determination of the purchaser's investment suitability, delivery of certain information and disclosures to the purchaser, and receipt of a specific purchase agreement before effecting the purchase transaction.

 

Many broker-dealers will not affect transactions in penny stocks, except on an unsolicited basis, in order to avoid compliance with the penny stock trading rules. When our Common Stock is subject to the penny stock trading rules, such rules may materially limit or restrict the ability to resell our Common Stock, and the liquidity typically associated with other publicly traded equity securities may not exist.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

 

Our principal executive office is at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, New York, 10174. We lease approximately 300 square feet of office space on a month-to-month basis. The aggregate annual rent for this office space was $2,958 and $2,487 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Since October 2015, we lease an approximately 3,000 square foot office at 331 Corporate Circle, Golden, CO 80401. The lease is for one year and is set to expire in September 2016. The aggregate annual rent for this space is $34,800.

 

We also lease approximately 3,189 square feet of office space at 800 Bradbury Dr., Albuquerque, NM 87106 for an aggregate of $88,464 per year.

 

We believe our facilities are adequate for our current and planned business operations.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2014, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial statements other than the litigation described above which was subsequently settled.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

DIVIDENDS

 

We have never paid any cash dividends. We presently intend to reinvest earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial position, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors.

 

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

During the past four years, we have issued unregistered shares of common stock and options and warrants for the purchase of common stock in the following transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act:

The stock options awarded totaled $137,000 which the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the compensation expense for the option grants using the following inputs: exercise price of $0.05 per share, risk free rate of 2.0%, volatility of 149% and zero dividends.

 

On August 7, 2015, holders of convertible notes payable in the aggregate of $896,000 elected to convert the entire balance of the convertible notes. As a result, the Company recorded a stock payable of $896,000 for the 10,285,714 shares of common stock owed to the convertible note holders and extinguish both the $600,000 face value of the convertible notes and $296,000 of original debt discount.  In October 2015, the Company had issued 15,045,513 shares of common stock related to the stock payable.

 

On or about August 26, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program, whereby the Company is authorized to purchase shares of its common stock with a value of up to $500,000 in open market transactions at the discretion of management. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 3,556,148 shares, for a total cost of $330,000. As of December 31, 2015, $164,000 was available to be repurchased under the authorized program.

The cash payment and warrant grant has been accounted for as an offering cost related to the February 2014 Accredited Investors securities purchase agreement and has been netted with the February 2014 Accredited Investors securities offering. The Warrants are exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.075 per share.

 

In March 2014, the Company issued 2,533,334 shares of common stock to two consultants for services with a total value $177,000. The stock issuance is for services performed during the period January 2014 through June 2014.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the expense for the option grants using the following inputs: exercise price of $0.055 per share, risk free rate of 2.0%, volatility of 125% and zero dividends.

 

In May 2014, the Company granted the issuance of 70,000 shares of common stock to seven employees (10,000 shares each) with a total fair value of $7,000 or $0.10 per share.

As part of this sale of common stock, the Company incurred an offering expense of $109,000 in cash and issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock and stock warrant for 3,000,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.11. The related offering expense has been netted against the net proceeds raised from this sale of common stock.

 

In December 2014, the Company sold and issued 968,863 shares of common stock in a private offering to accredited investors for a total cash consideration of $106,575.

 

The issuances were not public offerings based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to a limited number of offerees; (iii) there was no public solicitation; (iv) each offeree was an "accredited investor," (v) the investment intent of the offerees; and (vi) the restriction on transferability of the securities issued. There no underwriter used in any transaction. The proceeds from the private offerings will be used for working capital, general corporate expenses and the acquisition and exploration of properties. No underwriters were used for any offering. All of the foregoing securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D or Rule 903 of Regulation S.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Incentive Plans

 

The 2000 Plan is administered by a committee of two or more members of the Board of Directors or, if no committee is appointed, then by the Board of Directors. The 2000 Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options (which, pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, can only be granted to employees), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, or stock bonuses. The committee, or the Board of Directors if there is no committee, determines the type of option granted, the exercise price, the option term, which may be no more than ten years, terms and conditions of exercisability and methods of exercise. Options must vest within ten-years. Under the 2000 Plan, the exercise price may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant for the incentive stock options. The 2000 Plan also allows for the granting of Stock Appreciation Rights. No Stock Appreciation Rights have been granted. The number of shares under the 2000 Plan available for grant at December 31, 2015 was 18,869,763.

 

In November 2004, our Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Consultant Stock Plan (the "2004 Plan"). The purpose of this 2004 Consultant Stock Plan is to advance our interests by helping us obtain and retain the services of persons providing consulting services upon whose judgment, initiative, efforts and/or services we are substantially dependent, by offering to or providing those persons with incentives or inducements affording such persons an opportunity to become owners of our capital stock. We reserved 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for awards to be made under the 2004 Plan. We filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on November 26, 2004 to register the shares underlying the 2004 plan. The 2004 Plan is administered by a committee of two or more members of the Board of Directors or, if no committee is appointed, then by the Board of Directors. The committee or the Board of Directors if there is no committee, determines who is eligible to receive awards under the plan, grant awards and interpret the 2004 Plan. The number of shares under the 2004 Plan available for grant at December 31, 2015 was 500,000.

 

On May 9, 2005, our Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan"). The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to our success, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the our future performance through awards of Options, the right to purchase Common Stock and Stock Bonuses. We reserved 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for awards to be made under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan is administered by a committee of two or more members of the Board of Directors or, if no committee is appointed, then by the Board of Directors. The committee, or the Board of Directors if there is no committee, determines who is eligible to receive awards under the plan, grant awards and interpret the 2005 Plan. We filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on June 8, 2005 to register the shares underlying the 2005 plan. The number of shares under the 2005 Plan available for grant at December 31, 2015 was -0-.

In January 2015, our Board of Directors adopted the 2015 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentive stock options (which, pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, can only be granted to employees), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, or stock bonuses. The committee, or the Board of Directors if there is no committee, determines the type of option granted, the exercise price, the option term, which may be no more than ten years, terms and conditions of exercisability and methods of exercise. Options must vest within ten-years. Under the 2015 Plan, the exercise price may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant for the incentive stock options. The 2015 Plan also allows for the granting of Stock Appreciation Rights. No Stock Appreciation Rights have been granted. The number of shares under the 2015 Plan available for grant at December 31, 2015 was 4,000,000.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

N/A

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company's goal is to nurture visionary technologies into life changing success stories and Metallicum and Senior Scientific are pursuing that goal.

 

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 nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the use and manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. To achieve this goal, the Company continues to identify emerging technologies through strategic alliances with scientific laboratories, educational institutions, scientists and leaders in industry and government. The Company and its executives have a long standing relationship with Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico.

 

TWO BUSINESSES EXIST WITHIN MANHATTAN SCIENTIFICS

 

Two nanotechnology businesses exist within Manhattan Scientifics Inc; both "units" are wholly-owned subsidiaries, both focused on nanotechnology applications in medicine.

 

The first (Metallicum Inc.) goal is to demonstrate our business-model, a licensing model, given that we are an inventions commercialization company.

 

Manhattan's second business is called Senior Scientific LLC, and is at the crossroads of biotechnology and nanotechnology.

 

Our novel bioimaging and nanomagnetic detection systems have been developed specifically to detect cancer and other diseases earlier and with higher specificity than is currently possible. We have developed proprietary hardware and software for the highly sensitive detection of nanomagnetic particles that can be linked to antibodies for the detection and treatment of cancer and other human diseases-all without the use of ionizing radiation or large magnetic fields.

 

Our novel technologies make possible the earlier detection of cancer in vivo, the ability to analyze biopsies with greater sensitivity and accuracy, the ability to monitor the therapeutic effectiveness of anticancer treatments—both in humans and in animal models—and allow us to detect cancer recurrence with significantly improved sensitivity. Please see: www.SeniorScientific.com

 

The technology was developed by Edward R. Flynn, PhD, Senior Scientific's founder and chief scientist. 

 

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 restricted 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 December 31, 2011, one milestone was met. Metallicum was granted an exclusive license by The Los Alamos National Laboratory on patents related to nanostructured metals. In September 2009, we entered into a technology transfer agreement and sale with Carpenter Technology Corporation, ("Carpenter") wherein Carpenter was to fully develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals. On February 11, 2015, the Company and Carpenter entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which the parties provided a full release of one another, Carpenter paid the Company $8,000,000, Carpenter transferred to the Company all intellectual and physical property that was part of the original agreement, Carpenter agreed to provide follow-on technical assistance and Carpenter provided a list of all customers and contacts.

 

 
23
 

 

On May 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to acquire Senior Scientific. The total purchase price was 21,668,000 restricted shares of our common stock (less 7,667,000 shares previously issued pursuant to an option agreement). As a result of this acquisition, we own patented technologies that can use biosafe nanoparticles and sensitive magnetic sensors to detect and measure cancer cells in biopsies or in the human body with the potential to transform how cancer is detected and treated.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, significantly all of our revenue was generated by one customer, Carpenter Technology Corporation. We did not have any significant suppliers. On February 11, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Releases with Carpenter Technology Corporation related to the agreement entered in 2009 with Carpenter Technology Corporation, pursuant to which the parties settled and released each other from any and all liabilities and claims related to the Carpenter Agreements.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015: 

  • Patent offices in Japan and China have issued patents, owned by Senior Scientific, covering the basic magnetic relaxometry measurement. These recently issued patents add to those already issued in Australia and the US; similar applications are still pending in several other countries of which we cannot provide any guarantee that such patents will be issued. The issued patents claim the apparatus used to make magnetic relaxometry measurements, and methods of making measurements using such an apparatus.
  • Senior Scientific executed a one-year Work for Others (WFO) agreement with the Los Alamos National Laboratories ("LANL"). Effective October 1, 2015 key LANL personnel at LANL with expertise in SQUID detectors and magnetic field physics will be allowed to work up to 50% of their time and use LANL resources to the benefit of the Company. The Company's MRX™ technology, being developed for the early detection of cancer and other diseases, utilizes SQUID sensors to achieve orders of magnitude more sensitivity that conventional imaging modalities.
  • In early July 2015, Senior Scientific completed the build-out of its nanoparticle production and MRX research lab. The laboratory enables the Company to make their proprietary PrecisionMRX™ nanoparticles and undertake all necessary research and development to advance the MRX™ detection technology.
  • In April 2015, Senior Scientific entered into a one-year research agreement with the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center and the School of Medicine to support the Company's preclinical research programs for the early detection of cancer using the Company's proprietary magnetic relaxometry technology. Through the agreement, the Company will work with researchers and have access to resources at the School of Medicine's Department of Cell Biology and Animal Research Facility to advance the Company's in-house research efforts.
  • Senior Scientific engaged in an informal review of the Company's MRX™ technology with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Combination Products (OCP). In October 2015, the FDA responded to the Company's informal Request For Designation (RFD) having completed its informal product classification and jurisdictional assessment. Based on the intended use described in the informal RFD by the Company, the FDA's OCP determined that the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) would be the appropriate Center to lead a premarket review and regulation of the system. This response is conditional on the intended use provided by the Company and the description of the technology. We believe a new classification and jurisdictional assessment may be warranted for different indications for use and/or configurations of the product. Additionally, the informal classification is non-binding. The Company may elect at any time to pursue a formal and binding classification by the OCP. The informal classification provides clarity for the company, and its prospective commercial partners, based on the current product configuration and intended clinical use and establishes an initial dialogue with the FDA.
  • Metallicum completed its nano-metals test-bed facility in Golden Colorado.  The new facility will use all of the equipment acquired from Carpenter Technologies earlier this year. The facility will be used to create sample product and transform lab scale materials processing directly into pilot scale production demonstrations for our present customer base.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014

 

GROSS PROFIT. In the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $64,000 in revenue compared to $642,000 of revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to service income. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to the termination of the agreement with Carpenter. Revenues in 2014 were proportionately recognized as revenue based upon the total fees to be collected over a 42 month period of which during fiscal year ended 2014 was fully earned. 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).

 

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist of consultants, contractors, accounting, legal, travel, rent, telephone and other day-to-day operating expenses. General and administrative expenses were $3,378,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with $2,256,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in general and administrative expenses year over year is primarily attributable to $520,000 in depreciation expense related to the capitalization of certain assets received from Carpenter Technologies pursuant to the February 2015 Settlement Agreement.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist of consultants and contractors. Research and development expenses were $2,937,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with $1,860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Research and development expenses increased due to the design, engineering and construction of the next generation instruments to be used for the MD Anderson Cancer Center; hiring of four professional individuals; continued expenses working with the University of New Mexico; and continued development on intellectual property related to our nano-technology.

 

OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSES). Other income and (expenses) were $14,263,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with $(330,000) for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in other income was mainly attributed to a gain of $14,938,000 related to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Releases with Carpenter Technology Corporation, as discussed in Note 8 in the notes to financial statements, whereby we received $8,000,000 in cash and $6,938,000 in independently appraised physical assets as part of the overall consideration of the Settlement Agreement.

 

NET INCOME (LOSS). We earned net income of $8,012,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $3,804,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in net loss resulted from the aforementioned factors noted above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Stockholders' equity totaled $8,594,000 on December 31, 2015 and the working capital surplus was $4,075,000 on such date.

 

We had an increase of $2,836,000 in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of cash provided by our operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2015, cash provided by operating activities was $3,415,000. Cash provided in operating activities was primarily as a result of cash received pursuant to the Carpenter Settlement Agreement, in the amount of $8,000,000. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 totaled $255,000 related to purchase of equipment for our research and development. There was $324,000 of cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2015, related primarily to the August 2015 stock repurchase program.

 

 
25
 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, cash used by operating activities was $2,535,000. Cash used by operating activities in 2014 was primarily as a result of our net loss which was offset by non-cash expenditures related to stock-based expenses totaling $878,000, debt discount and original issue discount of $147,000, and depreciation and amortization expense of $202,000. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $36,000 related to purchase of equipment for our research and development. There was $4,521,000 of cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 as the result of issuance of common stock and a promissory note in 2014.

 

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 December 31, 2015, we had $5,364,000 in cash. We believe our current cash position is sufficient to maintain our operations for the next twelve months.

 

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.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

 

We assess the impairment of our long-lived assets periodically in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FAS") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 10. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we will compare undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets to the carrying amount of those assets. When these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts of the assets, we will record impairment losses to write the asset down to fair value, measured by the discounted estimated net future cash flows expected to be generated from the assets. To date there has been no impairment.

 

License Agreements

 

In 2008, the Company obtained licenses to the rights of certain patents regarding nano-structured 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. 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 value attributable to license agreements is being amortized over the period of its estimated benefit period of 10 years. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to pay an annual license fee of $10,000 and, may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the licensors.

 

 
26
 

 

On May 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to acquire Senior Scientific. The total purchase price was 21,668,000 restricted shares of our common stock (less 7,667,000 shares previously issued pursuant to an option agreement. As a result of this acquisition, we own patented technologies that can use biosafe nanoparticles and sensitive magnetic sensors to detect and measure cancer cells in biopsies or in the human body with the potential to revolutionize how cancer is detected and treated.

 

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.

 

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 provision of FASB ASC Topic 718 for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees, directors and non-employees. Additionally, the Company follows the SEC's 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 our nonemployees is charged to expense, if applicable, in the financial statements. These options vest in the same manner as the employee options granted under each of the option plans as described above.

 

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Manhattan Scientifics, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) ("Grand") was established on July 31, 1992 and has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metallicum, Inc. ("Metallicum"), Senior Scientific LLC ("Senior Scientific"). 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 nano-technologies and nano-medicine. 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 Colorado. 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. 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.

 

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 technology transfer agreement with Carpenter Technologies Corporation ("Carpenter"). 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, the Company 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

Manhattan Scientifics 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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS

 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Manhattan Scientific, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Metallicum and Senior Scientific. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operating activities of Metallicum and Senior Scientific for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The fiscal year end of the Company is December 31.

 

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 amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Management makes estimates that affect, carrying value of the Company's patents, deferred income tax assets, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the year in which such adjustments are determined.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows.

 

CASH CONCENTRATION:

 

The Company's cash accounts are fully insured up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had cash accounts exceeding insured amount totaling $4,750,000 and $2,140,000, respectively.

  

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long lived assets. FASB ASC 360-10 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10. FASB ASC 360-10 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

 

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 represented 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 December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accumulated amortization was $225,000 and $194,000, 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 December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accumulated amortization was $23,000 and $20,000, respectively. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay an annual license fee of $10,000 starting in February 2010 and, may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the licensors.

 

In 2011, the Company acquired Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc., which holds the commercial rights to technology and intellectual property with respect to the early detection of diseases using nanotechnologies. The acquisition of Scientific Nanomedicine, Inc. has been accounted for as an asset purchase since this company had no tangible assets or liabilities and did not have the business inputs and outputs to be considered a business. The purchase price totaling $1,300,000 (fair value of 21,667,000 shares of common stocks issued) has been allocated to in process research and development and is being amortized over its estimated benefit period of 10 years. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accumulated amortization was $596,000 and $467,000. We subsequently dissolved Scientific Nanomedicine and transferred all remaining assets to Senior Scientific LLC.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the Company's valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

 

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. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 71,798,000 and 65,723,000 dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $2,937,000 and $1,861,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

   

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 includes 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.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

 

To date the only revenue generated is from the sale of field technology developed by Metallicum related to the Company's nanotechnology, services provided and sample materials (See Note 8).

 

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 discernible milestones.

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 non-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.

 

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 December 31, 2015 and 2014 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 payables approximated fair value as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 because of the relative short term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the Company's debt approximates carrying value.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

From October 21, 2011 to April 26, 2012, the Company issued convertible notes for $600,000 (the "Convertible Notes") of which $200,000 was received on October 21, 2011, $100,000 was received on January 31, 2012 and $300,000 was received on April 26, 2012. Additionally, the note holder was issued warrants for 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $0.05 that expire on October 15, 2015 ("Warrants"). During September 2015, the Company and the holder mutually agreed to extend the expiration of the 6,000,000 warrants to October 15, 2018, the rest of the terms of the warrants remained the same. The incremental fair value for the modification of the warrants was valued at $190,000 and recorded to additional paid in capital. The conversion feature to the note payable has been accounted for as an original issue discount approximating $296,000 which has been fully accreted as of December 31, 2012. The warrant associated with the note has been accounted for as a debt discount with an approximate value of $296,000 which has been allocated to the note's fully accreted value of $896,000 (original note amount plus original debt discount) on proportionate basis which amounted to $195,000. The warrant value of $252,000 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: 2 year term; volatility rate of 134% to 135%; and discount rate of 2.5%. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded an expense associated with original debt discount and expense associated with the debt discount (warrants) of $422,000. Accordingly, the carrying net value of this note at December 31, 2015 was $0, while at December 31, 2014 it was $896,000, comprising of $600,000 (original face value) plus the fully accreted original debt discount of $296,000. In October 2015, the Company had issued 15,045,513 shares of common stock related to the conversion and extinguishment of the notes.

 

During 2014 and 2013, the Company issued convertible notes for $2,500,000 through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Senior Scientific, LLC. The convertible notes bear interest at 8%, mature four years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into either: (1) membership interests of Senior Scientific, LLC equal to the quotient of the principal due of the convertible notes divided by $2,500,000 multiplied by 18% of the total equity of Senior Scientific, LLC outstanding as of the date hereof; or (2) the number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient of the principal and interest payable due of the convertible notes divided by a conversion price of $0.055 per share. The Company may not prepay the convertible notes. In the event of a default and so long as the default exists, interest on the convertible notes will accrue at 10%. The Company must account for all accrued interest on the convertible notes on the first calendar day of each quarter. The conversion feature to the note payable has been accounted for as an original issue discount approximating $1,045,000 which $357,000 has been accreted as of September 30, 2015. The Company has recorded the accreted original issue discount as interest expense totaling $261,000 and $148,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Accordingly, the carrying net value of these notes at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totals $1,877,000 and $1,616,000, respectively, comprising of $2,500,000 (original face value) plus the unamortized debt discount of $884,000 at December 31, 2015, and unamortized original debt discount of $688,000 at December 31, 2014.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The provision for income taxes on the statements of operations consists of $-0- and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following at December 31:

Deferred taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of certain expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, management determined that realization of these benefits is not assured and has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, net operating loss carryforwards were approximately $37,239,000 and $45,251,000, respectively, for federal tax purposes that expire at various dates from 2013 through 2030 and for state tax purposes expire in 2014 through 2024.

 

Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state regulations. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of substantial net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

 

For December 31, 2015 and 2014, the provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate (40% in 2015 and 2014) to income taxes as follows:

License Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 1, 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. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay royalties, as defined, to the licensors. The license rights also require the Company to meet certain milestones. Twelve months from the effective date of the license rights agreement Manhattan will initiate negotiations with at least five companies regarding manufacture and distribution of licensed products. Within twenty-four months Manhattan will establish capability for manufacturing a licensed product in New Mexico and within thirty-six months Manhattan will either manufacture a licensed product or close a sublicense agreement, or initiate a request for required government approval for a licensed product.

 

Metallicum, Inc.

 

In June 2008, the Company completed the purchase of Metallicum, Inc., a privately held research and development company of nano-structured materials, by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Metallicum, Inc. for a total purchase price of $305,000. In connection with the Metallicum acquisition, the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration in future periods, based upon the attainment by the acquired entity of defined operating objectives. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, the Company does not accrue contingent consideration obligations prior to the attainment of the objectives. At December 31, 2015, maximum potential future consideration pursuant to such arrangements, to be resolved over the following years, is the potential issuance of 15 million restricted shares of the Company's common stock having a current approximate value of $1,050,000. Any such payments would result in increases in intangible assets.

 

The required milestones for the issuance of these contingent shares are as follows:

 

1.

Metallicum is granted an exclusive license by The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) on patent numbers U.S.7152448, U.S.6399215 and U.S. 6197129 related to nanostructured materials.

2.

Metallicum sells nanostructured titanium to a partner or customer company which manufactures and sells in the United States a nonostructured titanium product which receives, if required, FDA approval.

3.

Metallicum, with purchaser's cooperation, develops and submits U.S. patent applications to protect the current titanium nanostructuring technology for dental implants and additional medical device applications

4.

Metallicum secures commercial contracts for, in purchaser's reasonable good faith judgment, material sales of nanostructured metal with at least two customers.

 

Upon achieving milestones 1 and 2 Metallicum will receive 6,000,000 shares of common stock. Upon achieving each milestone 3, 4 and 5 Metallicum shareholders will receive 3,000,000 shares of common stock for each milestone reached. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has so far only achieved milestone 1.

       

In January 2013, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with a party granting certain licensing rights to the Company's nanostructured metal technology.  Pursuant to the party is obligated to pay the Company in accordance with the following schedule: $180,000 during January 2013; $30,000 by June 1, 2013; $30,000 by December 31, 2013; $30,000 by December 1, 2014; and $30,000 upon commercial launch by the party or the latest December 1, 2015, which final payment has not been received as of December 31, 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded the receipt of $0 and $30,000 as revenue.   

 

In November 2015, the Company entered into a Material Transfer Agreement with a party in the dental implant business, whereby the Company will apply its technology for use in sample materials the party provided to MSI.  Pursuant to the Agreement, party is obligated to pay MSI in accordance with the following schedule: $30,000 within 7 days of execution of the Agreement; $14,000 within 7 days of delivery of the Material from the first iteration; and the final $14,000 within 7 days of delivery of the Material from the second iteration.  Through the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, MSI earned $30,000 and $0, respectively, and recorded such amount as revenue.

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 many 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 LANL patents) that are licensed by the Company from Los Alamos Laboratories. The sub-license agreement obligates Carpenter to pay MSI a running royalty on the sales of products that require license to the LANL 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.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company earned $64,000 and $642,000, respectively, and recorded such amount as revenue. 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).

 

In January 2013, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with a party granting certain licensing rights to the Company's nanostructured metal technology. As consideration: the Company received $180,000 in January 2013, and will receive $30,000 by June 1, 2013; $30,000 by December 31, 2013; $30,000 by December 1, 2014; and $30,000 upon commercial launch by the party or the latest December 1, 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded the receipt of $30,000 and $30,000 as revenue.

 

NOTE 9 – SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASES

 

On February 11, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Releases (the "Settlement Agreement") with Carpenter Technology Corporation related to the agreement discussed in Note 8, pursuant to which the parties settled and released each other from any and all liabilities and claims related to the Carpenter Agreements.

 

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement and as consideration for the full and final settlement and satisfaction of all claims that the Company has or could assert against Carpenter in connection with the Carpenter Agreements, Carpenter will: (1) pay the Company $8,000,000 within 10 days from the date of the Settlement Agreement; (2) transfer and/or assign to the Company all physical and intellectual property which was the subject matter of the Carpenter Agreements free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; (3) provide the Company with follow on technical assistance; and (4) provide the Company with a complete list of all customers and contacts for same related to the technology which was the subject matter of the Carpenter Agreements. In addition, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, neither party may disparage the other and the Carpenter Agreements were terminated and rendered null and void. As of the date this filing, the Company has received the $8,000,000 portion of the Settlement Agreement, including the physical and intellectual property. The Company has obtained an independent valuation on the physical property, estimated at $6,938,000, as follows:

The Company has recorded income on the appraised value of the physical property totaling $6,938,000 and $8,000,000 cash consideration received as a Gain on Settlement Agreement totaling $14,938,000. The Company has not obtained a valuation report with respect to the value of the intellectual property transferred in this transaction.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company changes the accounting treatment of the depreciable life of the transferred assets from a 5-year to a 10-year useful life. Its reason for doing so was that the appraiser of the assets estimated the useful life of the assets to be at least 10 years. The change in useful life is reflected on a retroactive basis, the cumulative effect of which resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation of $520,000 during the year ended December 31, 2015. This also resulted in an increase in earnings per share (basic) of $0.01 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

ITEM 9T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that arc 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, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(t) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1.

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

2.

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

3.

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 
28
 

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company's internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication. and (v) monitoring.

 

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 or the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as or December 31, 2014:

 

Resources: As of December 31, 2015, 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.

 

Management's Remediation Initiatives

 

We plan 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. We also plan to add an audit committee financial expert to our board and create an audit committee made up of our independent directors.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no 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.

SECCTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the exchange on which the common stock is listed for trading. Executive officers, directors and more than ten percent stockholders are required by regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports filed. Based solely on our review of copies of the Section 16(a) reports filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we believe that our executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders complied with all reporting requirements applicable to them.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

On March 31, 2005, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Company's Code of Ethics can be viewed on our website at www.mhtx.com/code-of-ethics.htm  or obtained free of charge by sending a written request to the attention of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Emmanuel Tsoupanarias at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, New York, 10174.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors of the Company acts as the audit committee. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it does not have an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in the rules adopted by the SEC requiring companies to disclose whether or not at least one member of the audit committee is an "audit committee financial expert." The Board of Directors believes that the aggregate technical, commercial and financial experience of its members, together with their knowledge of the Company, provides the Board with the ability to monitor and direct the goals of the Company and to protect the best interests of its shareholders. Four of the five members of the Board of Directors are "independent," as that term is defined in Section 10A(m) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and that the members' independence qualifies it to monitor the performance of management, the public disclosures by the Company of its financial condition and performance, the Company's internal accounting operations and its independent auditors. In addition, the Board of Directors is authorized to engage independent financial consultants, auditors and counsel whenever it believes it is necessary and appropriate.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

In December 2007, the former Chief Operating Officer, Jack Harrod, and former Chief Executive Officer, Marvin Maslow, collectively forgave $1,416,500 of their outstanding accrued salaries ($1,387,500) and note payable ($29,000) balances. The amount forgiven has been accounted for as contributed capital. Additionally, the Company repaid $5,000 of Marvin Maslow's note payable balance. The remaining unpaid notes payable balances totaling $995,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 comprised of loans payable of $450,000 and $545,000 to Jack Harrod and Marvin Maslow, respectively. Mr. Harrod resigned April 1, 2006. Mr. Maslow resigned November 1, 2007. Mr. Maslow is a related party as a result of his beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the Company's common stock. In addition, Mr. Maslow was appointed to the Board on March 13, 2015. The loans bore interest at 5.5% per annum and were initially due December 31, 2002 and have been mutually extended. Under the terms of the note extensions dated December 12, 2007, the loans bear interest at 5% per annum and are now due. The Company has recorded interest expense for notes payable to these former officers of approximately $50,000 and $50,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accrued interest related to these notes payable approximated $432,000 and $382,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and is included in accrued liabilities, related parties. Mr. Maslow had agreed to waive any and all request for full payment of the amount owed to him until March 31, 2014. Sums earned to date from the Company in connection with equity and debt transactions have been credited to a reduction of the Company's liability to him. On November 5, 2013, the Company entered into a Conversion Agreement with Mr. Maslow pursuant to which the Company agreed to convert $1,057,608 of debt, including principal and interest, currently owed to Mr. Maslow into 105,761 shares of Series D Preferred Shares of the Company.

 

The above transactions were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock does not pay dividends and the does not have a liquidation preference. The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to 20 votes for each share of common stock that the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into. The Series D Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.055 (the "Conversion Price") and a stated value of $10.00 (the "Stated Value") per share. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of Mr. Maslow, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing Stated Value by the Conversion Price. Mr. Maslow may only convert the Series D Preferred Stock upon certain Convertible Promissory Notes, whether presently outstanding or to be issued, issued to three accredited investors (the "Note Investors") in accordance with those certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreements between the Company and the Note Investors dated April 3, 2013, have either (i) been converted in full or in part by the Note Investors into shares of common stock of the Company, (ii) the Note Investors have sold or assigned all or a part of their Convertible Promissory Notes to third parties, or (iii) the Note Investors have been paid in full or in part. Mr. Maslow will only be permitted to convert such number of Series D Preferred Stock equal to the pro rata amount of the Convertible Promissory Notes converted, assigned or paid. In the event the Note Investors agree in writing that these restrictions may be terminated, then Mr. Maslow will be entitled to convert the Series D Preferred Stock at Mr. Maslow's election and the above restrictions will be null and void. Additionally, Mr. Maslow may not convert the Series D Preferred Stock until the ten day average daily trading volume is greater than $20,000. In the event Mr. Maslow terminates its consulting agreement or violates a non-compete covenant, then the Series D Preferred Shares shall be returned to the Company for cancellation and the Company shall be obligated on the Debt. The issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock was made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

On May 6, 2012, the Company issued 483,871 shares to Gerald Grafe, a former officer of Senior Scientific, for legal services.

 

On September 10, 2012, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to Gerald Grafe for legal services from June 1, 2012 - December 1, 2012 at $0.04 per share value.

 

On December 7, 2012, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to Gerald Grafe for legal services from December 1, 2012 - June 1, 2013 at $0.05 per share value.

 

On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Emmanuel Tsoupanarias, our CEO. The agreement is for a term of five years and Mr. Tsoupanarias shall receive an annual salary of $150,000 per year and additional cash incentive consideration as determined by the Board. In the event the employment agreement is terminated by the Company without cause, then the Mr. Tsoupanarias shall receive 50% of the base salary remaining on the term and all options and other securities he would have been entitled to for an additional three months shall vest.
