"The elimination of the $2.5 million in debt from our balance sheet is another benefit of last year’s Senior Scientific spin-off. Manhattan Scientifics will now focus on its nano-structured metals business, which has generated $14M in cash and $25M of related assets to date. "
NEW YORK--Manhattan Scientifics Inc. announced the retirement of $2.5 million in current debt. The company said it now has a virtually debt-free balance sheet.
The $2.5 million debt was owed by MHTX’s subsidiary Senior Scientific, now Imagion Biosystems. Manhattan Scientifics reported the debt on its balance sheet as it is sole owner of Senior Scientific. As part of the spin-off of Senior Scientifics, Imagion Biosystems was required to retire the debt. With the $2.0M debt repayment, and with the lender's conversion to equity of the remaining $500,000, the $2.5M debt is no longer an obligation of Manhattan Scientifics.
Manny Tsoupanarias, Manhattan Scientifics CEO said, “The elimination of the $2.5 million in debt from our balance sheet is another benefit of last year’s Senior Scientific spin-off. Manhattan Scientifics will now focus on its nano-structured metals business, which has generated $14M in cash and $25M of related assets to date.
"We haven't scratched the surface of the metals industry yet and as we are now free of restrictions of our former industrial partner, we intend to fully exploit our patented nano-metals process to the entire metals industry,” Tsoupanarias said.
Manhattan Scientifics Inc. (www.mhtx.com) is focused on commercialization of disruptive technologies in the nano medicine space.
