("Manhattan"), completed the acquisition of Manhattan Research Development

stock, representing 80% of the total number of shares of Manhattan common stock
outstanding immediately after the effective time of the merger. Also as a result
of the merger, warrants to purchase 864,280 shares of Manhattan Research common
stock were converted into warrants to purchase 9,839,313 shares of Manhattan
common stock.

Manhattan and Manhattan Research. He has served on the Manhattan board of
directors since January 28, 2002, and on Manhattan Research's board of directors
since its inception on August 6, 2001. In addition, Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald

                         MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
                          (A Development Stage Company)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING FOLICIES

       (A) Nature of Operations

       Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") incorporated on August 6,
       2001 under the laws of Delaware under the name CT-3 Acquisition Corp., is
       a privately-held, New York based development stage biopharmaceutical
       company that holds an exclusive, world-wide license to certain
       intellectual property (the "Property") owned by Oleoyl-estrone
       Developments, SL ("OED") of Barcelona, Spain (the "University"). The
       Company's first drug candidate, oleoyl-estrone ("OE"), is an orally
       administered small molecule that has been shown in extensive pre-clinical
       animal studies to cause significant weight loss without the need for
       dietary modifications (See Notes 2 and 7).

       (B) Use of Estimates

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
       and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

       (C) Income Taxes

       The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting
       Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
       "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109,
       deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
       consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
       carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
       tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
       tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
       temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
       Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
       change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
       the enactment date. There was no current or deferred income tax expense
       (benefit) recorded for period from August 6, 2001 (inception) to December
       31, 2001 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 because of the
       Company's continued losses from operations. Any deferred tax asset
       arising from the Company's available net operating loss carryforwards has
       been offset by an equal valuation allowance.

       (D) New Accounting Pronouncements

       The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new
       Statements of Financial Accounting Standards.

       Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" supersedes APB Opinion 16 and
       various related pronouncements. Pursuant to the new guidance in Statement
       No. 141, all business combinations must be accounted for under the
       purchase method of accounting; the pooling-of-interests method is no
       longer permitted. SFAS 141 also establishes new rules concerning the
       recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets arising in a purchase
       business combination and requires disclosure of more information
       concerning a business combination in the period in which it is completed.
       This statement is generally effective for business combinations initiated
       on or after July 1, 2001.

       Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" supercedes APB
       Opinion 17 and related interpretations. Statement No. 142 establishes new
       rules on accounting for the acquisition of intangible assets not acquired
       in a business combination and the manner in which goodwill and all other
       intangibles should be accounted for subsequent to their initial
       recognition in a business combination accounted for under SFAS No. 141.
       Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets should be recorded at fair value.
       Intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over such
       period and those with indefinite lives should not be amortized. All

                                      F-5



                         MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
                          (A Development Stage Company)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

       intangible assets being amortized as well as those that are not, are both
       subject to review for potential impairment under SFAS No. 121,
       "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
       Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 142 also requires that goodwill
       arising in a business combination should not be amortized but is subject
       to impairment testing at the reporting unit level to which the goodwill
       was assigned to at the date of the business combination.

       SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
       2001 and must be applied as of the beginning of such year to all goodwill
       and other intangible assets that have already been recorded in the
       balance sheet as of the first day in which SFAS No. 142 is initially
       applied, regardless of when such assets were acquired. Goodwill acquired
       in a business combination whose acquisition date is on or after July 1,
       2001, should not be amortized, but should be reviewed for impairment
       pursuant to SFAS No. 121, even though SFAS No. 142 has not yet been
       adopted. However, previously acquired goodwill should continue to be
       amortized until SFAS No. 142 is first adopted.

       Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
       establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent
       accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or
       other type of disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the
       acquisition, construction, or development and/or normal operation of such
       assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
       15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged.

       In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
       Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No.
       121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived
       Assets to be Disposed of" and APB No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
       Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of Business
       and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
       Transactions." SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model for
       assets to be disposed of by sale whether previously held and used or
       newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 retains the provision of APB No. 30 for
       presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but
       broadens the presentation to include a component of an entity. SFAS No.
       144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and
       the interim periods within.

       In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements
       No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
       Corrections. SFAS 145 rescinds the provisions of SFAS No. 4 that requires
       companies to classify certain gains and losses from debt extinguishments
       as extraordinary items, eliminates the provisions of SFAS No. 44
       regarding transition to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and amends the
       provisions of SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications be
       treated as sale leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145
       related to classification of debt extinguishments are effective for
       fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application is
       encouraged. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard
       will have a material impact the financial statements.

       In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Restructuring
       Costs." SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity
       (including restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those
       activities can include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating
       employees and contracts and relocating plant facilities or personnel.
       Under SFAS 146, the Company will record a liability for a cost associated
       with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can
       be measured at fair value. SFAS 146 will require the Company to disclose
       information about its exit and disposal activities, the related costs,
       and changes in those costs in the notes to the interim and annual
       financial statements that include the period in which an exit activity is
       initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is completed.
       SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities
       initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged.
       Under SFAS 146, a company cannot restate its previously issued financial
       statements and the new statement grandfathers the accounting for
       liabilities that a company had previously recorded under Emerging Issues
       Task Force Issue 94-3.

       The Company believes that the adoption of these pronouncements will not
       have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
       operations.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 2 RIGHTS TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

       The Company's exclusive right to OED's Property, in the aggregate, are of
       material importance for the Company's survival. Protection for OED's
       individual products extends for varying periods in accordance with the
       date of grant and the legal life of patents in the various countries. The
       protection afforded, which may also vary from country to country, depends
       upon the type of patent and its scope of coverage. The Company is
       financially responsible for all aspects of OED's inventions, including
       legal and research and development expenses associated with the product
       developments.

       During the periods ended September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
       Company capitalized approximately $236,303 and $25,000, respectively, in
       legal fees, U.S. Patent office handling fees and other expenses that OED
       incurred in relation to the patents and licensing fees (See Note 7).
       Expenses incurred for research and development of the patents were
       expensed in the period ended September 30, 2002.

       The Intellectual Property Rights are being amortized over the lives of
       the underlying patents, which generally are twenty years. Amortization
       expense was not recorded for the period ended December 31, 2001.
       Amortization expense related to patents for the period ended September
       30, 2002 was approximately $263. No amortization has been recorded
       related to the capitalized licensing costs that the Company has paid
       under its licensing agreement with OED (See Note 7). Capitalized
       licensing costs will be amortized when the licensing agreement generates
       revenues from the underlying intellectual property rights.

       The Company evaluates the recoverability of the Intellectual Property
       Rights, where indicators of impairment are present, by reviewing current
       and projected profitability or undiscounted cash flows of such assets.
       Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for
       potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that
       carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets not subject to
       amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. For the period
       ended September 30, 2002, the Company determined that, based on projected
       profitability and estimated future cash flows, the carrying amount of the
       Intellectual Property Rights, equals the fair value. Accordingly, no
       impairment loss was required for the period ended September 30, 2002.

NOTE 3 NOTE PAYABLE

       During the period ended September 30, 2002, the Company received $600,000
       from an independent financial institution with an annual interest rate of
       3.23%. During the period ended September 30, 2002, the Company paid
       $10,767 and accrued $1,346 of the $12,113 total interest expense
       incurred. The note is due in January 2003 and is secured by a
       stockholder's personal investment account of $600,000. The note and
       related interest payable are recorded in current liabilities in the
       accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 4 DUE TO STOCKHOLDER

       In order to provide operating funds for the Company, a stockholder (the
       "Stockholder") loaned the Company $30,000 during September 2002. The loan
       is payable on the earlier to occur of (a) one year from the date of
       issuance or (b) a financing in which gross proceeds to the Company
       exceeds $1,000,000. The loan bears interest at 5% and is unsecured. Since
       the proceeds were received in late September 2002, no interest expense
       has been recognized for this loan as of September 30, 2002 because the
       Company deems it to be immaterial.

       As discussed in Note 10, the Company received an additional $80,000 from
       the Stockholder during October 2002 as additional operating funds. The
       total proceeds from the Stockholder since inception is $110,000 (See Note
       10).

NOTE 5 DUE TO AFFILIATE

During the period ended September 30, 2002, an affiliate, owned by the
Stockholder as defined in Note 4, paid


                                      F-7



                         MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
                          (A Development Stage Company)

                          Notes to Financial Statements


       paid $6,315 for deferred offering expenses on behalf of the Company. The
       Company also owes $45,000 at September 30, 2002 for office space rental
       expense to the affiliate. These expenses are included in selling, general
       and administrative expense on the accompanying financial statements.
       These non-interest bearing payables are due on demand and unsecured.

NOTE 6 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY

       The Company accounts for equity based compensation in accordance with
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
       Stock-Based Compensation". The standard requires the Company to adopt the
       "fair value" method with respect to equity-based compensation of
       consultants and other non-employees. For financial statement disclosure
       purposes, the fair market value of each stock option granted during the
       period ended September 30, 2002 was estimated on the date of grant using
       the Black-Scholes Pricing Model in accordance with FASB No. 123 using the
       following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%,
       risk-free interest rate of 3.21%, volatility of 0% and expected term of
       five years.

       The Company issued a total of 40,000 options to four consultants to
       purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
       of $.01 during August 2002. The fair value of the option issuances was
       estimated, using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model as described in the
       previous paragraph, at $60,589. The option issuances were granted as
       payment in full for four one-year consulting contracts, which all
       terminate in August 2003. Therefore the Company has expensed $15,147 as
       consulting fee expense in the accompanying statement of operations and
       has deferred $45,442 over the remaining lives of the contracts, which is
       presented as deferred consulting expense on the balance sheet of the
       accompanying financial statements.

       There were no options exercised during the period ended September 30,
       2002.

       The Company did not adopt the fair value method, in accordance with SFAS
       123, with respect to employee stock options. The Company accounts for
       employee stock options under the "intrinsic value" method in accordance
       with APB 25. For the period from August 6, 2001 (inception) through
       September 30, 2002, the Company did not issue options to employees.
       Therefore, there was no financial statement impact for employee option
       issuances for the periods presented.

       The Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock to thirty-eight
       investors during December 2001 for a subscription receivable of $4,000.
       In connection with the subscription receivable, the Company entered into
       thirty-eight note receivable agreements with the respective investors,
       which all mature during 2002. (See Note 10 for discussion of subsequent
       proceeds from subscriptions receivable). During February 2002, the
       Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to OED related to the
       license agreement discussed in Note 7 and capitalized the full amount as
       licensing fees.

NOTE 7 LICENSE AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

       On February 15, 2002, the company entered into a License Agreement (the
       "Agreement") with OED. Under the terms of the Agreement, OED grants to
       the Company a worldwide license to make, use, lease and sell the licensed
       products as the Company's sees fit. OED also grants the right to the
       Company to sublicense to third parties the Property or aspects of the
       Property with prior written consent of OED. OED retains an irrevocable,
       non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use the Property solely for its
       internal, non-commercial use. The Agreement will terminate on (i) the
       date that the Company files a petition for bankruptcy, (ii) within thirty
       days notice that the University's research agreement ceases to be in full
       force, (iii) within sixty days notice by either party for due reason as
       specified in the Agreement or (iv) the date for the last patent to expire
       under the Agreement.

       Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to OED certain equity and
       milestone licensing fees, which are being capitalized as they are paid in
       the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001
       the Company paid $175,000 and $25,000, respectively in licensing fees
       which is included in the balance

                                      F-8



                         MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


       sheet as intellectual property rights (See Note 2).

       In relation to the Agreement, the Company entered into a consulting
       agreement with Oleoyl-estrone Developments, SL ("OED"). The agreement
       became effective during February 2002, at a fee of $6,250 per month, and
       will terminate when the license agreement terminates. The fees associated
       with the consulting agreement are expensed in the accompanying financial
       statements. OED agreed to serve as a member of the Company's Scientific
       Advisory Board and to render consultative and advisory services to the
       Company. Such services include research, development and clinical testing
       of the Company's technology as well as the reporting of the findings of
       such tests, assistance in filing of patents and oversight and direction
       of efforts in regards to personnel for clinical development.

NOTE 8 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

       During the period ended September 30, 2002, the Company commenced a
       private placement share offering wherein it offered to accredited
       investors a minimum amount of 312,500 shares and a maximum amount of
       937,500 shares of common stock. The purchase price per share was $1.60
       per share with an individual minimum investment of $50,000, although the
       Company may accept, at their discretion, subscriptions for lesser
       amounts. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had not closed on any
       proceeds related to the offering. In connection with this private
       placement offering the Company incurred offering costs of $8,706 which
       have been deferred.

NOTE 9 GOING CONCERN

       The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
       basis which contemplated the realization of assets and the settlement of
       liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company
       has a net loss from operations of $630,325 since inception, a negative
       cash flow from operating activities of $365,418 since inception, a
       working capital deficiency of $839,482 and a stockholders' deficiency of
       $568,736. The Company's working capital deficiency may not enable it to
       meet such objectives as presently structured. The financial statements do
       not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
       uncertainty.

       The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on
       the Company's ability to obtain additional financing and achieve
       profitable operations. Management believes that actions presently taken
       to obtain additional financing and its business plan to achieve
       profitable operations will provide the opportunity for the Company to
       continue as a going concern.

NOTE 10  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       During October 2002, the Company received an additional $80,000 of
       operating funds from the Stockholder referred to in Note 4. The loans are
       unsecured and bear interest at 5%.

       During October 2002, the Company received proceeds of $4,000 as payment
       in full of the $4,000 subscription receivable.

                     INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                     CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Atlantic Technology Ventures, Inc. recently signed a merger agreement with
Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. providing for the merger of a wholly owned
subsidiary of Atlantic into Manhattan. If the merger is consummated,
shareholders of Manhattan will be issued approximately 92,647,100 shares of
Atlantic which represents 80% of Atlantic's post-merger outstanding capital
stock. We anticipate that the merger will close in the first quarter of 2003.
The merger will be recorded as a reverse acquisition since the Manhattan
stockholders become the controlling stockholders of Atlantic. Based on the
recent thirty-day average price of Atlantic's common stock of $0.12, the
preliminary estimate of the total purchase price is approximately $2,979,413. On
completion of a valuation, it is expected that the combined company will record
intangible assets (patents and licenses) for substantially all of the purchase
price.

      The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations
combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Atlantic and
Manhattan. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet combines the
historical consolidated balance sheet of Atlantic and the historical
consolidated balance sheet of Manhattan, giving effect to the merger as if it
had been consummated on September 30, 2002.

      You should read this information in conjunction with the:

     o    accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
          Financial Statements;

     o    separate historical unaudited financial statements of Atlantic as of
          and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and for the period
          from July 13, 1993 (inception) to September 30, 2002 included in
          Atlantic's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the nine month period
          ended September 30, 2002, which is included in this document;

     o    separate historical financial statements of Manhattan as of and for
          the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and for the period ended
          December 31, 2001; and

     o    separate historical financial statements of Atlantic for the year
          ended December 31, 2001 included in Atlantic's Annual Report on Form
          10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, and for the period from
          July 13, 1993 (inception) to December 31, 2001, which is incorporated
          by reference into this document.

      We present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not
necessarily indicative of what our financial position or results of operations
actually would have been had we completed the merger on September 30, 2002. In
addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does
not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the
combined company.

      We prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information using the purchase method of accounting with Manhattan treated as
the acquirer. Accordingly, Manhattan's cost to acquire Atlantic will be
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The allocation is dependent
upon certain valuations and other studies that have not progressed to a stage
where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation.
Accordingly, the purchase price allocation pro forma adjustments are preliminary
and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information.

                                    NOTES TO
                          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                          COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANIES)

(1) DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2003. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations combine the
historical consolidated statements of operations of Atlantic, a public company,
and Manhattan. The merger agreement, dated December 17, 2002, provides for the
stockholders of Manhattan exchanged all of their shares of Manhattan stock for
92,647,100 shares of common stock of Atlantic. The merger, which is subject to
shareholder approval, will be recorded as a reverse acquisition since the
Manhattan stockholders become the controlling stockholders of Atlantic. Based on
the recent thirty-day average price of Atlantic's common stock of $0.12, the
preliminary estimate of the total purchase price approximates $2,979,413. Upon
completion of a valuation, it is expected that the combined company will record
intangible assets (patents and licenses) for substantially all of the purchase
price.

      We recognize that if the final valuation, which is expected to be
completed within three to six weeks from the completion of the merger, derives
different amounts from our preliminary estimate, we will adjust the combined
condensed financial statements.

      The merger will be accounted for as a purchase by Manhattan under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under
the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Atlantic will
be recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values, and
combined with those of Manhattan. The reported financial condition and results
of operations of Manhattan after completion of the merger will reflect these
values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical
financial position or results of operations of Atlantic. The merger is subject
to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, as well as
approval by Atlantic and Manhattan shareholders of certain merger-related
proposals.
