We assumed the preceding notes payable as the result of the Exchange Transaction between the Company and TG Bio. Accordingly, a valuation using the guidance in the accounting literature for business combinations (ASC 805) was performed and these notes were initially recorded at their fair value on the date of the transaction. 
 
Convertible 5% Notes Payable
   
                On March 8, 2010, Manhattan entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Manhattan, Ariston Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ariston") and Ariston Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan (the "Merger Sub").  Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on March 8, 2010, the Merger Sub merged with and into Ariston (the "Merger"), with Ariston being the surviving corporation of the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, Ariston became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan. 
   
                The 5% Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon are convertible at the option of the holder into Common Stock at the conversion price of $1,125 per share.  Ariston agreed to make quarterly payments on the 5% Notes equal to 50% of the net product cash flow received from the exploitation or commercialization of Ariston’s product candidates, AST-726 and AST-915.  The Company has no obligations under the 5% Notes aside from a) 50% of the net product cash flows from Ariston’s product candidates, if any, payable to noteholders; and b) the conversion feature, discussed above. Interest accrues monthly, is added to principal on an annual basis, every March 8, and is payable at maturity. 
   
In connection with the Exchange Transaction in December 2011, the Company performed a valuation of the assets and liabilities of Manhattan immediately prior to the transaction. The cumulative liability including accrued and unpaid interest of the 5% Notes was approximately $16,876,000 immediately prior to the Exchange Transaction, $17,727,000 at December 31, 2012 and $18,390,000 at September 30, 2013. As the 5% Notes are tied directly to net product cash flows derived from the preexisting products of the Company, the 5% Notes and accrued interest was recorded at fair value as of the date of the Exchange Transaction.   No payments have been made on the 5% Notes as of September 30, 2013.  See Note 2 for further details. 
 
ICON Convertible Note Payable
 
In connection with the merger with Ariston as discussed above, Ariston satisfied an account payable of $1,275,188 to ICON Clinical Research Limited (“ICON”) through the payment of $275,188 in cash and the issuance of a three-year 5% note payable (the “ICON Note”).  The principal was to be repaid in 36 monthly installments of $27,778 commencing in April 2010.  Interest was payable monthly in arrears.   On March 1, 2011, Ariston entered into an amended and restated convertible promissory note (the “Amended ICON Note”) with ICON.  The principal terms of the Amended ICON Note are that monthly payments of principal and interest will be waived for the thirteen month period ended December 31, 2011 (the “Waiver Period”) in exchange for a single payment of $100,000 on March 31, 2011, an increase in the interest on the Amended ICON Note from 5% to 8% per annum during the Waiver Period and a balloon payment on January 31, 2012.  The Amended ICON Note is convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s Common Stock at the conversion price of $562.50 per share.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $49,240 of interest expense on the Amended ICON Note.  At September 30, 2013, the principal amount of the Amended ICON Note was $677,778, of which the entire balance has been classified as current, and interest payable on the Amended ICON Note was $172,751.   This note is currently in default as the Company did not make the balloon payment due on January 31, 2012, or any subsequent payments.  The Company is currently attempting to negotiate a settlement or alternative arrangement in satisfaction of this note.
