ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS	Manhattan Scientifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Grand Enterprises, Inc) (“Grand”) was established on July 31, 1992 and has a wholly-owned subsidiary: Metallicum, Inc. (“Metallicum”). 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. Metallicum is a nanotechnology 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. The licenses have been fully amortized. 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. The license has been fully amortized. 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 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 7, pursuant to which the parties settled and released each other from any and all liabilities and claims related to the Carpenter Agreements. On November 17, 2016, Senior Scientific merged with and into Imagion Biosystems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Imagion”). Following the merger, Imagion held all of the liabilities, obligations and assets of Senior Scientific and the Company continued as the sole equity holder of Imagion. On June 30, 2017, Imagion completed an IPO and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). As of December 31, 2019 , the Company owns 61,516,508 shares (2,000,000 restricted shares related to issued promissory notes interest) of Imagion, resulting in a noncontrolling interest of approximately 12% of Imagion’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Company elected to record the investment at fair value. 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. 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.
