Manhattan Scientifics Reports First Ever Profitable Quarter
Since its inception Manhattan Scientifics Inc. has been a technology developer that nurtures financially promising technologies with potential global commercial applications. The company and its affiliates now own a significant IP portfolio and patents in alternative energy, hydrogen fuel cells and computer 3D touch haptics.
The company’s business model is to commercialize, bringing products to market to create profit for its shareholders through partnerships with manufacturers and licensees of its patents.
Manhattan Scientifics has enjoyed a “special informal relationship" and a successful history in tech-transfer from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the Sandia National Laboratory (SNL).
An example of this relationship was the seed funding and launch of Novint Technologies, which acquired the exclusive, perpetual, global license to the Haptics touch technology from Sandia National Labs and now trades as a listed company in the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under ticker symbol NVNT.

Differentiators NanoTitanium
Manhattan Scientifics
owns exclusive
rights to the key patents and IP portfolio
to produce and market NanoTitanium and
other ultra fine grain nano-structured metals.
The company acquired Metallicum together with its patent rights for new ultra fine grain metals that may advance the medical device
industry, particularly for dental implants, cardiovascular
stents and for a wide range of prosthetic
applications including artificial knees, shoulders,
and hips. NanoTitanium is highly compatible with
bone and is thought to provide stronger, faster
bonding with improved strength, biocompatibility,
longer life and improved wear and tear. To date
more than $12 million has been directed toward
developing the process. Dr. Lowe has been
dubbed one of LANL’S “technology commercialization
all-stars.”
Alternative Energy Technologies
Manhattan Scientifics is pursuing several potential
solutions to the global alternative energy need
as it relates to personal, 2-wheel transportation,
particularly in Asia. The company won Time
Magazine’s “Invention of the Year” award for its
fuel cell Aprilia concept bicycle/fuel cell engine in
2001. MHTX owns the patents and IP technology
for the award winning NovArs hydrogen powered
fuel cell engine. Light weight and portable, it may
be ideal to provide an inexpensive and environmentally
friendly "green" system to drive scooters,
bicycles, power tools, portable electronics, wheel
chairs, golf carts and home emergency power.
MicroFuel Cell
Manhattan Scientifics provided
seed funding for former Los Alamos National
Laboratory scientist Robert Hockaday, who is
developing a flat printed fuel cell designed to
provide an “always on” energy source to power
micro-electronics such as cellular telephones and
pagers. Manhattan Scientifics owns the worldwide
right to the patented technology. To date, the
micro fuel cell has not been commercialized.
Haptics
Manhattan Scientifics provided $4.5 million seed funding to launch Novint Technologies Inc. The patented Novint Falcon, a computer game controller, enables the ability to touch and realistically feel images on a computer screen including texture, weight, motion and viscosity. The company is gaining recognition and growing rapidly, recently signing an agreement with EA games, whereby the company will create games compatible with the controller.
TECHNOLOGY AND BACKGROUND
Manhattan Scientifics began as a technology incubator. Early in its history it worked on acquiring several technologies in the fields of holographic data storage, water purification, alternative energy, advanced computer haptics and most recently, nanotechnology. The majority of MHTX’s commercial technologies come from U.S. government laboratories in New Mexico.
During 2000, Manhattan Scientifics had a market capitalization approaching $900 million, about 60 times the company's present market cap, despite the fact that the company’s intrinsic value is worth many times more today than it was in year 2000.

Risk Factors
- Access to sufficient capital to bring product to market; to defend its patents; to surpass its competitors
- No significant revenue or earnings
- Ability to recruit additional senior management
- Potential technical obsolescence
- Numerous well-capitalized competitors
The Outlook
MHTX continues its role as pioneer in the fields of alternative energy and advanced computing, as the company looks to expand its reach in 2008 into new markets including NanoTitanium.
MHTX found it difficult to generate profit through its licensing business model. Accordingly, the company switched its business model to an emerging technology commercialization platform and is diligently seeking manufacturing partners in Asia. Management remains focused on turning the company around, finding capital and reinventing itself as a high value-add commercialization platform across multiple sectors.
In Feb., MHTX completed $1.0 M equity raise for
general-purpose working capital. In May, MHTX
was fully reporting and applied for Listing on
OTCBB.
