                      ATLANTIC TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 March 31, 2001


(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information Accordingly, the financial statements
do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for fair presentation Interim operating results are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001 or for any subsequent period These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with Atlantic Technology Ventures,
Inc., and Subsidiaries' ("Atlantic") Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2000.

(2)   LIQUIDITY

      Atlantic anticipates that their current liquid resources will be
sufficient to finance their anticipated needs for operating and capital
expenditures at their present level of operations for at least the next several
months. However, since Atlantic does not have significant fixed cash
commitments, Atlantic has the option of significantly cutting or delaying its
development activities as may be necessary. In addition, Atlantic will attempt
to generate additional capital through a combination of collaborative
agreements, strategic alliances and equity and debt financing However, Atlantic
can give no assurance that they will be able to obtain additional capital
through these sources or upon terms acceptable to them.

      On May 7, 2001, Atlantic entered into a common stock purchase agreement
with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to
purchase up to $6.0 million of our common stock. This agreement replaced an
earlier common stock purchase agreement between Atlantic and Fusion Capital
dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to purchase Atlantic shares is subject
to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was declared
effective on July 6, 2001. A material contingency that may affect Atlantic's
operating plans and ability to raise funds is its stock price If its stock price
remains at current levels, Atlantic will be limited in the amount of funds it
will be able to draw on under the Fusion Capital agreement. Atlantic's stock
price is currently below the floor price of $0.68 specified in the Fusion
Capital agreement and as a result Atlantic is currently unable to draw funds
pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement is
currently structured, Atlantic cannot guarantee that it will be able to draw on
any funds. See note 11 below and see liquidity discussion within "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

(3)   COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

      Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss
applicable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as
basic net loss per common share, as common equivalent shares from stock options,
stock warrants, stock subscriptions, and convertible preferred stock would have
an antidilutive effect because Atlantic incurred a net loss during each period
presented.

(4)   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      On January 1, 2001, Atlantic adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an amendment of SFAS No.
133" and SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 138 amends the accounting and reporting
standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging
activities SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivative
instruments as assets and liabilities in its balance sheet and measure them at
fair value. The adoption of these statements did not


                                       6
<PAGE>



have a material impact on Atlantic's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows,  as Atlantic is currently not party to any  derivative
instruments.

      In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires that all
business combinations be accounted for under a single method--the purchase
method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method no longer is permitted. SFAS 141
requires that the purchase method be used for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to
earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill
ceases upon adoption of the Statement, which for calendar year-end companies,
will be January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 has no financial impact on Atlantic as
Atlantic does not have any goodwill or intangible assets which resulted from any
previous business combinations.

(5)   INCOME TAXES

      Atlantic incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended June
30,2001. In addition, Atlantic does not expect to generated book income for the
year ended December 31, 2001; therefore, no income taxes have been reflected for
the six months ended June 30, 2001.

(6)   PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND

      On January 16, 2001, Atlantic's board of directors declared a
payment-in-kind dividend of 0.065 of a share of Series A convertible preferred
stock for each share of Series A preferred stock held as of the record date of
February 7, 2001. The estimated fair value of this dividend of $64,144 was
included in Atlantic's calculation of net loss per common share for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The equivalent dividend for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 had an estimated fair value of $659,319 and is recorded in the
same manner.

      On August 7, 2001,  Atlantic's  board of  directors  declared a
payment-in-kind  dividend  of 0.065 of a share of Series A  preferred  stock per
share of Series A  preferred  stock to the  holders  of  shares of the  Series A
preferred stock as of the record date of August 7, 2001.

(7)   ISSUANCE OF STOCK WARRANTS

      As more fully described in Note 9 to Atlantic's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB/A as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, on January 4, 2000,
Atlantic entered into a financial advisory and consulting agreement with Joseph
Stevens & Company, Inc. pursuant to which Atlantic issued to Joseph Stevens &
Company, Inc. three warrants to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of its
common stock. Atlantic recorded compensation expense relating to these stock
warrants in the amounts of $70,834 and $1,061,654 for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively. No such compensation is required
subsequent to December 31, 2000.

      On March 8, 2001, Atlantic entered into an agreement with The Investor
Relations Group, Inc. ("IRG") under which IRG will provide Atlantic investor
relations services. Pursuant to this agreement, Atlantic issued to Dian Griesel,
the principal of IRG, warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of its common stock at
an exercise price of $0.875 per share. These warrants will vest monthly in 5,000
share increments over a 24-month period. In addition, should Atlantic's stock
price reach $2.50, Atlantic will grant Dian Griesel an additional 50,000
warrants, and should Atlantic's stock price reach $5.00, Atlantic will grant
Dian Griesel a further 50,000 warrants. As a result, Atlantic recorded
compensation expense relating to these stock warrants of $22,695 and $34,666 in
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively, pursuant to
EITF Issue No. 96-18. Atlantic will remeasure the compensation expense at the
end of each reporting period until the final measurement date is reached 24
months after issuance.

      Compensation for these warrants relates to investment banking and investor
relations services and represents a general and administrative expense.

(8)   REDEEMABLE SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES

      On September 28, 2000, pursuant to a convertible preferred stock and
warrants purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") Atlantic issued to BH
Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership


                                       7
<PAGE>



(together,  the "Investors") for a purchase price of $2,000,000,  689,656 shares
of  Atlantic's  Series B  convertible  preferred  stock and warrants to purchase
134,000  shares of Atlantic's  common stock.  Half of the shares of the Series B
preferred stock (344,828  shares) and warrants to purchase half of the shares of
common  stock  (67,000  shares)  were  held in  escrow,  along  with half of the
purchase price.

      On December 4, 2000, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a stock
repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") pursuant to which Atlantic
repurchased from the investors a portion of the outstanding shares.

      Pursuant to Atlantic's subsequent renegotiations with the Investors,
Atlantic was required, among other things, to redeem on March 28, 2002, all
outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock for (A) 125% of the original
issue price per share or (B) the market price of the shares of common stock into
which they are convertible, whichever is greater (the "Redemption Price").
Atlantic would have been able to at any time redeem all outstanding shares of
Series B preferred stock at the Redemption Price. As a result of the
renegotiations discussed in this paragraph, the Series B preferred stock was
considered redeemable and the remaining outstanding shares at December 31, 2000
were classified outside of permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. At December 31, 2000, of the shares of Series B preferred stock
issued to the Investors, there were 206,898 shares outstanding at a carrying
amount of $2.90 per share.

      Holders of shares of Atlantic's outstanding Series B preferred stock could
convert each share into shares of common stock without paying Atlantic any cash.
The conversion price per share of the Series B preferred stock was also amended
by the second amendment to the Purchase Agreement. The conversion price per
share of Series B preferred stock on any given day is the lower of (1) $1.00 or
(2) 90% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices on the principal
market of the common stock out of the fifteen trading days immediately prior to
conversion. The change in conversion price upon the renegotiations on January 9,
2001 resulted in a difference between the conversion price of the Series B
preferred stock and the market price of the common stock on the effective date
of the renegotiation. This amount, estimated at $600,000, was recorded as an
imputed preferred stock dividend within equity and is deducted from net loss to
arrive at net loss applicable to common shares during the six months ended June
30, 2001.

      On January 19, 2001, 41,380 shares of Series B preferred stock were
converted by the Investors into 236,422 shares of Atlantic's common stock. On
March 9, 2001, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a second stock repurchase
agreement pursuant to which Atlantic repurchased from the Investors, for an
aggregate purchase price of $617,067, all 165,518 shares of Atlantic's Series B
preferred stock held by the Investors on March 9, 2001. The carrying amount of
the 165,518 shares is equal to $480,000; therefore the amount in excess of the
carrying amount, which equals $167,127, was recorded as a dividend upon
repurchase of shares of Series B preferred stock and is deducted from net loss
to arrive at net loss applicable to common shares.

(9)   DEVELOPMENT REVENUE

      In accordance with an amended license and development agreement, which was
subsequently terminated as described below in note 10, Bausch & Lomb Surgical
reimbursed Atlantic's subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"), for
costs Optex incurred in developing its Catarex technology, plus a profit
component. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, this agreement provided
$2,461,922 of development revenue, and related cost of development revenue of
$2,082,568. This agreement provided $1,434,634 and $2,347,115 of development
revenue, and related cost of development revenue of $1,147,707 and $1,877,692
for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 respectively. The
agreement was terminated in March 2001 (see note 10 below). Accordingly, there
was no development revenue or related expense for the quarter ended June 30,
2001.

(10)  SALE OF OPTEX ASSETS

      Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated January 31, 2001, among
Bausch & Lomb, a Bausch & Lomb affiliate, Atlantic, and Optex, on March 2, 2001,
Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially all of its assets (mostly intangible
assets with no book value), including all those related to the Catarex
technology. The purchase price was $3 million paid at closing (of which
approximately $564,000 has been distributed to Optex's minority shareholders).
In addition, Optex is entitled to receive additional consideration, namely $1
million once Bausch & Lomb receives regulatory approval to market the Catarex
device in Japan, royalties on net sales on the terms stated


                                       8
<PAGE>



in the original development  agreement dated May 14, 1998, between Bausch & Lomb
and Optex, as amended, and minimum royalties of $90,000,  $350,000, and $750,000
for the  first,  second,  and  third  years,  respectively,  starting  on  first
commercial use of the Catarex  device or January 1, 2004,  whichever is earlier.
Optex also has the option to repurchase  the acquired  assets from Bausch & Lomb
at fair value if it ceases developing the Catarex technology at fair value.

      Upon the sale of Optex assets, Bausch & Lomb's development agreement with
Optex was terminated and Optex has no further involvement with Bausch & Lomb. As
a result of this transaction, Atlantic recorded a net gain on the sale of Optex
assets of $2,569,451 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, net of
severance payments to former Optex employees in the amount of $240,000 made
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2001. The purchase price of
$3,000,000 is nonrefundable and upon the closing of the asset purchase agreement
in March 2001, Optex had no further obligation to Bausch & Lomb or with regard
to the assets sold. In the asset purchase agreement, Optex agreed to forgo
future contingent payments provided for in the earlier development agreement.
Pursuant to Atlantic's agreement with the minority shareholders of Optex, Optex
has recorded a profit distribution for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of
$837,274 representing the minority shareholders' percentage of the cumulative
profit from the Bausch & Lomb development and asset purchase agreements up to
and including proceeds from the sale of Optex' assets.

      On May 9, 2001, Atlantic's board of directors, after consideration of all
the relevant facts and circumstances, including recommendation of counsel,
agreed to authorize an aggregate payment of $240,000 to three former employees
of Optex (who are now employed by Bausch & Lomb). The payments were made on May
11, 2001, and represented the settlement of claims made by the employees
subsequent to the asset purchase agreement referred to above for severance
monies allegedly due under their employment agreement. Atlantic did not believe
these monies were due pursuant to the terms of the transaction itself and the
respective employment agreements. The board of directors elected to acquiesce to
the demands of the former employees and resolve the matter in light of the
potential future royalties from Bausch & Lomb and the importance of these
individuals to the ongoing development activities. The payment was recorded as
an expense netted against the gain on sale of Optex assets in the June 30, 2001
statement of operations.

(11)  PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON SHARES

      On May 7, 2001, Atlantic entered into a common stock purchase agreement
with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to
purchase up to $6.0 million of Atlantic's common stock over a 30-month period,
subject to a six-month extension or earlier termination at Atlantic's
discretion. This agreement replaced an earlier common stock purchase agreement
between Atlantic and Fusion Capital dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to
purchase Atlantic shares is subject to certain conditions, including the
effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares to be purchased.
That registration statement was declared effective on July 6, 2001. The selling
price of the shares will be equal to the lesser of (1) $20.00 or (2) a price
based upon the future market price of the common stock, without any fixed
discount to the market price. A material contingency that may affect Atlantic's
operating plans and ability to raise funds is its stock price. If its stock
price remains at current levels, Atlantic will be limited in the amount of funds
it will be able to draw on under the Fusion Capital agreement. Atlantic's stock
price is currently below the floor price of $0.68 specified in the Fusion
Capital agreement, and as a result, Atlantic is currently unable to draw on
funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement
is currently structured, Atlantic cannot guarantee that it will be able to draw
on any funds. Atlantic paid a finder's fee of $120,000 in connection with
signing this agreement and subsequently was required to issue 600,000 commitment
shares to Fusion Capital; those shares had an estimated fair value of $444,000.
General and administrative expense for the three-and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2001 include amounts relating to the finder's fee and issuance of stock
in the amounts of $444,000 and $564,000 respectively.

(12)  SALE OF GEMINI ASSETS

      Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 23, 2001, among
Atlantic, Atlantic's majority-owned subsidiary Gemini Technologies, Inc., the
Cleveland Clinic Foundation ("CCF") and CCF's affiliate IFN, Inc., Gemini
undertook to sell, upon meeting certain closing conditions, to IFN substantially
all its assets, including all those related to the 2-5A antisense enhancing
technology, for future contingent royalty payments and withdrawal of CCF's
arbitration demand against Atlantic and Gemini. The transaction closed on May 5,
2001. This transaction will be beneficial to Atlantic since it permits Atlantic
to avoid terminating the Cleveland sublicense with no compensation to Gemini and
spares Atlantic from having to pay the substantial shutdown costs that Gemini
would


                                       9
<PAGE>



likely have incurred without this asset purchase agreement. In connection with
this sale, Atlantic recorded a loss of $334,408. This loss results from net
assets sold to IFN of $136,408 and a potential exposure, related to SBIR grant
funds for research on the 2-5A antisense technology, of approximately $198,000,
which was accrued for at June 30, 2001.

(13)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On August 9, 2001, Atlantic retained Proteus Capital Corp. as its
investment bankers to assist Atlantic with raising additional funds. Pursuant to
this agreement, Atlantic has agreed to issue to Proteus warrants to acquire
100,000 shares of its common stock at the average closing stock price for the
two weeks ending August 17, 2001. Beginning in the third quarter of 2001,
Atlantic will record compensation expense relating to the stock warrants
representing their estimated fair value. Atlantic will remeasure the
compensation expense at the end each reporting period until the final
measurement date is reached.

      In August 2001, Atlantic issued 35,000 shares of its common stock to each
of BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership in return for
their commitment to provide Atlantic with $3.5 million of financing in
connection with an asset purchase for which Atlantic had submitted a bid.
Atlantic did not ultimately purchase those assets.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
       of Operations

      You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and
financial condition in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for
the year ended December 31, 2000. This discussion includes "forward-looking"
statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and
financial performance. We use words such as we "expect," "anticipate,"
"believe," and "intend" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that actual results may differ materially
from our expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties inherent in
future events, particularly those risks identified in the "Risk Factors" section
of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, and should not unduly rely on these
forward looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 VS. 2000

      In accordance with a license and development agreement, as amended, Bausch
& Lomb Surgical has paid our subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"),
for developing its Catarex technology. With the termination of this agreement at
the conclusion of the sale of substantially all of Optex's assets (mostly
intangible assets with no book value) in March 2001, as described further below,
we no longer have the revenues or profits associated with that agreement
available to us. As a result, for the three months ended June 30, 2001, this
agreement provided no development revenue, and no related cost of development
revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, this agreement provided
$1,434,634 of development revenue, and related cost of development revenue of
$1,147,707.

      For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, research and development expense was
$295,316 as compared to $302,029 in the second quarter of 2000. This decrease is
primarily due to the cessation of research and development activities on the
antisense technology as a result of the sale of the assets of Gemini, partially
offset by increased expenditures related to the testing of our CT-3 compound.

      As of June 30, 2000, we made an investment in TeraComm, Inc. of $700,000
in cash and common stock and warrants valued at $1.8 million. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, we expensed $2,390,023 of this payment as acquired
in-process research and development since TeraComm's product development
activity was in its very early stages. As a result of TeraComm's not meeting a
technical milestone at December 31, 2000, no further investments were made in
TeraComm.

      For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, general and administrative expense
was $1,155,325 as compared to $621,836 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. This
increase is principally due to the estimated fair value of our issuing 600,000
commitment shares to Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC of $444,000 incurred during the
second quarter of 2001 in conjunction with a common stock purchase agreement
entered into during the second quarter of 2001 with Fusion Capital pursuant to
which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase up to $6.0 million of our common stock
over a 30-month period, subject to a 6-month extension or earlier termination at
our discretion. Fusion's obligation to purchase Atlantic shares is subject to
certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was declared
effective on July 6, 2001. A material contingency that may affect our operating
plans and ability to raise funds is our stock price. If our stock price remains
at current levels, we will be limited in the amount of funds we will be able to
draw on under the Fusion Capital agreement. Our stock price is currently below
the floor price of $0.68 specified in the Fusion Capital agreement and as a
result we are currently unable to draw funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital
agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement is currently structured, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to draw on any funds. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" for further details on this agreement. Also contributing to the
increase in general and administrative expenses was an increase in expenses
associated with investor relations services over last year of about $48,000.

      For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, we had compensation expense relating
to stock warrants of $22,695 associated with warrants issued to Dian Griesel
during March 2001 as partial compensation for investor relations services.
Additional expense associated with these warrants will continue to be incurred
over the two-year term of the agreement. For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we
had $70,834 of expense associated with warrants issued to Joseph Stevens &
Company as partial compensation for investment banking services which amount was
recorded in


                                       11
<PAGE>



full as of December 31, 2000. Compensation expense relating to these investor
relations and investment banking services represent a general and administrative
expense.

      For the second quarter of 2001, interest and other income was $14,334,
compared to $34,137 in the second quarter of 2000. The decrease in interest
income is primarily due to the decline in our cash reserves.

      Net loss applicable to common shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
was $2,121,133 as compared to $3,087,358 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
This decrease in net loss applicable to common shares is primarily attributable
to the recording of acquired in-process research and development expense in
conjunction with our investment in TeraComm, Inc. of $2,390,023 in the second
quarter of 2000. The loss differential is partially reduced by a loss on the
sale of the assets of Gemini of $334,408 in the second quarter of 2001,
severance payments declared in May 2001 to former Optex employees aggregating to
$240,000, and the cost of our issuing 600,000 commitment shares to Fusion
Capital Fund II, LLC of $444,000 incurred in the second quarter of 2001. In
addition, with the termination of our agreement with Bausch & Lomb, we no longer
have the revenue or profits associated with that agreement available to us. As a
result, we had no profit resulting from this agreement in the second quarter of
2001 as compared with $286,927 in the second quarter of 2000. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, we received $5,169,288 in development revenue from Bausch &
Lomb.

SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 VS. 2000

      In accordance with a license and development agreement, as amended, Bausch
& Lomb Surgical has paid our subsidiary, Optex Ophthalmologics, Inc. ("Optex"),
for developing its Catarex technology. For the six months ended June 30, 2001,
this agreement provided $2,461,922 of development revenue and related cost of
development revenue of $2,082,568. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, this
agreement provided $2,347,115 of development revenue and related cost of
development revenue of $1,877,692. The increase in revenues and related expenses
over last year was due to the recognition of a project completion bonus of
$1,067,345 paid out and recognized at the completion of the project in March
2001. The increase is offset by the fact that there were no revenues and related
expenses in the second quarter of 2001. With the termination of the above
agreement at the conclusion of the sale of substantially all of Optex's assets
(mostly intangible assets with no book value) in March 2001, as described
further below, we will no longer have the revenues or profits associated with
that agreement available to us.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2001, research and development expense
was $602,083 as compared to $429,468 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. This
increase is due to increased expenditures on certain development projects,
including CT-3, with respect to which we have been assessing potential markets
and developing test plans for a Phase II study. This increase is offset somewhat
by the cessation of research and development activities on the antisense
technology as a result of the sale of the assets of Gemini.

      As of June 30, 2000, we made an investment in TeraComm, Inc. of $700,000
in cash and common stock and warrants valued at $1.8 million. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, we expensed $2,390,023 of this payment as acquired
in-process research and development since TeraComm's product development
activity was in its very early stages. As a result of TeraComm's not meeting a
technical milestone at December 31, 2000, no further investments were made in
TeraComm.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2001, general and administrative expense
was $1,837,273 as compared to $1,117,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
This increase is largely due to an increase in payroll costs over last year of
approximately $90,000, an increase in expenses associated with investor
relations services of approximately $65,000 and expenses incurred in conjunction
with a common stock purchase agreement entered into during the second quarter of
2001 with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. These expenses include the cost of our
issuing 600,000 commitment shares to Fusion Capital of $444,000 and a finders
fee of $120,000. Fusion's obligation to purchase Atlantic shares is subject to
certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was declared
effective on July 6, 2001. A material  contingency that may affect our operating
plans and ability to raise funds is our stock price.  If our stock price remains
at current levels,  we will be limited in the amount of funds we will be able to
draw on under the Fusion  Capital  agreement.  At this point our stock  price is
currently  below  the  floor  price of $0.68  specified  in the  Fusion  Capital
agreement and as a result we are currently  unable to draw funds pursuant to the
Fusion Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital


                                       12
<PAGE>



agreement is currently structured, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to
draw on any funds. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further details on
this agreement.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2001, we had compensation expense
relating to stock warrants of $34,666 associated with warrants issued to Dian
Griesel during March 2001 as partial compensation for investor relations
services. Additional expense associated with these warrants will continue to be
incurred over the two-year term of the agreement. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, we had $1,061,654 of expense associated with warrants issued to Joseph
Stevens & Company as partial compensation for investment banking services, which
amount was recorded in full as of December 31, 2000. Compensation expense
relating to these investor relations and investment banking services represent a
general and administrative expense.

      For the six months ended 2001, interest and other income was $34,352,
compared to $74,327 in six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest
income is primarily due to the decline in our cash reserves.

      Net loss applicable to common shares for the six months ended June 30,
2001, was $1,265,502 as compared to $5,124,919 for the six months ended June 30,
2000. This decrease in net loss applicable to common shares is attributable in
part to a gain on the sale of the assets of our subsidiary, Optex, recognized
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 in the amount of $2,569,451, partially
offset by a distribution to the minority shareholders of Optex of $837,274 (see
further discussion of this sale below). In addition, the decrease in net loss
applicable to common shares is compounded by the recording of acquired
in-process research and development expense in conjunction with our investment
in TeraComm, Inc. of $2,390,023 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the
six months ended June 30, 2000, we recorded compensation expense of $1,061,654
relating to stock warrants issued to Joseph Stevens & Co. compared with
compensation expense of $34,666 relating to stock warrants issued to the
Investor Relations Group during the current year. The loss differential is
partially reduced by a loss on the sale of the assets of Gemini of $334,408 in
the six months ended June 30, 2001, severance payments declared in May 2001 to
former Optex employees aggregating to $240,000, and the cost of our issuing
600,000 commitment shares to Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC of $444,000 incurred in
the six months ended June 30, 2001. In addition, with the termination of our
agreement with Bausch & Lomb, we no longer have the revenue or profits
associated with that agreement available to us. As a result, we had no profit
resulting from this agreement in the second quarter of 2001 as compared with
$286,927 in the second quarter of 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we
received $5,169,288 in development revenue from Bausch & Lomb.

      Net loss applicable to common shares for the six months ended June 30,
2001 also included a beneficial conversion on share of our Series B preferred
stock in the amount of $600,000 and a dividend of $167,127 paid upon the
repurchase of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock recorded during
the six months ended June 30, 2001. We also issued preferred stock dividends on
our Series A preferred stock for which the estimated fair value of $64,144 and
$659,319 was included in the net loss applicable to common shares for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in the estimated
fair value of these dividends as compared to the prior year is primarily a
reflection of the decline in our stock price and a reduction of the number of
preferred shares issued.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      From inception to June 30, 2001, we incurred an accumulated deficit of
$25,427,692, and we expect to continue to incur additional losses through the
year ending December 31, 2001 and for the foreseeable future. The loss has been
incurred through primarily research and development activities related to the
various technologies under our control.

      Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated January 31, 2001, among
Bausch & Lomb, a Bausch & Lomb affiliate, Atlantic, and Optex, on March 2, 2001,
Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially all its assets (mostly intangible
assets with no book value), including all those related to the Catarex
technology. Upon the sale, Atlantic and Optex have no further obligations to
Bausch & Lomb. The purchase price was $3 million paid at closing (approximately
$564,000 of which was distributed to the minority shareholders). In addition,
Optex is entitled to receive additional consideration, namely $1 million once
Bausch & Lomb receives regulatory approval to market the Catarex device in
Japan, royalties on net sales on the terms stated in the original development
agreement dated May 14, 1998, between Bausch & Lomb and Optex, as amended, and
minimum royalties of $90,000, $350,000, and $750,000 for the first, second, and
third years, respectively, starting on first commercial use of the


                                       13
<PAGE>



Catarex device or January 1, 2004, whichever is earlier. Optex also has the
option to repurchase the acquired assets from Bausch & Lomb if it ceases
developing the Catarex technology at fair value. Upon the sale of Optex assets,
Bausch & Lomb's development agreement with Optex was terminated. In the asset
purchase agreement Optex agreed to forgo future contingent payments provided for
in the earlier development agreement. As a result of this transaction, we
recorded a gain on the sale of Optex assets of $2,569,451. We made a profit
distribution of $837,274 to Optex's minority shareholders, representing their
share of the cumulative profit from the development agreement with Bausch & Lomb
and the proceeds from the sale of Optex' assets.

      On September 28, 2000, pursuant to a convertible preferred stock and
warrants purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), we issued to BH Capital
Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership (together, the "Investors")
for a purchase price of $2,000,000, 689,656 shares of our Series B convertible
preferred stock and warrants to purchase 134,000 shares of our common stock.
Half of the shares of Series B preferred stock (344,828 shares) and warrants to
purchase half of the shares of common stock (67,000 shares) were held in escrow,
along with half of the purchase price.

      On December 4, 2000, Atlantic and the Investors entered into a stock
repurchase agreement (the stock Repurchase Agreement") pursuant to which we
repurchased from the Investors for $500,000 137,930 shares of Series B preferred
stock, and agreed to the release from escrow to the Investors of the $1,000,000
purchase price of the 344,828 shares of Series B preferred stock held in escrow.
We also allowed the Investors to keep all of the warrants issued under the
purchase agreement and issued to the Investors warrants to purchase a further
20,000 shares of our common stock at the same exercise price. On January 19,
2001, 41,380 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted by the Investors
into 236,422 shares of our common stock. On March 9, 2001, Atlantic and the
Investors entered into a second stock repurchase agreement pursuant to which we
repurchased from the Investors, for an aggregate purchase price of $617,067, all
165,518 shares of our Series B preferred stock held by the Investors. The
repurchase price represented 125% of the purchase price originally paid by the
investors for the repurchased shares, as well as an amount equal to the annual
dividend on the Series B preferred stock at a rate per share of 8% of the
original purchase price. The repurchased shares constitute all remaining
outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock; we have cancelled those shares.

      On May 7, 2001, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with
Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase
up to $6.0 million of our common stock over a 30-month period, subject to a
6-month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. This agreement
replaced an earlier common stock purchase agreement between Atlantic and Fusion
Capital dated March 16, 2001. Fusion's obligation to purchase Atlantic shares is
subject to certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration
statement covering the shares to be purchased. That registration statement was
declared effective on July 6, 2001. The selling price of the shares will be
equal to the lesser of (1) $20.00 or (2) a price based upon the future market
price of the common stock, without any fixed discount to the market price. A
material contingency that may affect our operating plans and ability to raise
funds is our stock price. If our stock price remains at current levels, we will
be limited in the amount of funds we will be able to draw on under the Fusion
Capital agreement. As the Fusion Capital agreement is currently structured, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to draw on any funds. We paid a $120,000
finder's fee relating to this transaction to Gardner Resources, Ltd. and issued
to Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC 600,000 common shares as a commitment fee. Those
shares had an estimated fair value of $444,000. We have amended our agreement
with Fusion Capital to allow Atlantic to draw funds pursuant to the agreement
regardless of its listing status on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

      Our available working capital and capital requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including progress of our research and development programs;
our progress in and the cost of ongoing and planned preclinical and clinical
testing; the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals; the cost of
filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other
intellectual property rights; competing technological and market developments;
changes in our existing collaborative and licensing relationships; the resources
that we devote to developing manufacturing and commercializing capabilities;
technological advances; the status of our competitors; our ability to establish
collaborative arrangements with other organizations; and our need to purchase
additional capital equipment.

      At June 30, 2001, we had $1,030,363 in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $333,300. We anticipate that our current resources will be
sufficient to finance our anticipated needs for operating and capital
expenditures at our present level of operations for at least the next several
months. In addition, we will attempt to


                                       14
<PAGE>



generate additional capital through a combination of collaborative agreements,
strategic alliances, and equity and debt financing. However, we can give no
assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital through these
sources or upon terms acceptable to us.

      We have the following short term and long term liquidity needs. Our cash
utilized for operations for the next year is expected to be approximately
$200,000 per month. Currently, these expected operating expenses include
approximately $70,000 per month for research and preclinical development
expenses and approximately $130,000 for general and administrative expenses.
Based on our cash position of $1,030,363 at June 30, 2001, we will either have
to raise additional funds within the next few months to fund our current
spending requirements or we will have to reduce or eliminate the planned levels
of development activities. Since we do not have significant fixed cash
commitments, we have the option of significantly cutting or delaying our
development activities as may be necessary. A material contingency that may
affect our operating plans and ability to raise funds is our stock price. If our
stock price remains at current levels, we will be limited in the amount of funds
we will be able to draw on under the Fusion Capital agreement. Our stock price
is currently below the floor price of $0.68 and as a result we are currently
unable to draw funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. If our stock
price rises above $0.68, we will be able to begin drawing funds in the amount of
up to $200,000 per month from Fusion Capital, subject to certain conditions. As
the Fusion Capital agreement is currently structured, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to draw on any funds. If we are unable to draw funds from Fusion
Capital, we will seek alternative funding sources. These funding sources include
seeking other equity financing and working toward licensing CT-3 later in 2001.

      On August 9, 2001, we retained Proteus Capital Corp. as our investment
bankers to assist us with raising additional funds.

      We are at risk of being delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. As of
March 20, 2001, we had the thirtieth consecutive business day that the minimum
bid price of our common stock was less than $1.00. This constitutes a failure on
our part to meet Nasdaq's continued inclusion requirement for minimum bid price.
On March 22, 2001, Nasdaq notified us of this failure, and we had a period of 90
calendar days from that notice to comply with the continued inclusion standard
for minimum bid price. Our common stock's minimum bid price has remained below
$1.00. On August 9, 2001, we had a hearing with Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications
Panel at which it was determined that our stock would be delisted subsequently
on an unspecified date. Shares of our stock would still be able to be traded on
the bulletin board. This could materially and adversely affect our ability to
raise additional funding.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Optex and the Catarex(TM) Technology

      Our majority-owned (81.2%) subsidiary, Optex, is entitled to royalties and
other revenues in connection with commercialization of the Catarex technology.
Bausch & Lomb, a multinational ophthalmics company, is developing this
technology to overcome the limitations and deficiencies of traditional cataract
extraction techniques. Optex had been the owner of this technology and was
developing it pursuant to a development agreement with Bausch & Lomb, but on
March 2, 2001, Optex sold to Bausch & Lomb substantially all of its assets
(mostly intangible assets with no book value), including those related to the
Catarex technology.

      Bausch & Lomb, which has committed over $15 million on the project to
date, has assumed full responsibility for development and marketing of the
technology, and will pay Optex royalties on sales of the device and associated
system. Bausch and Lomb has informed us that it expects to begin human clinical
trials of the device in the third quarter of 2001 at a variety of investigation
sites, and that it is working to develop the next-generation handpiece in order
to integrate the Catarex device with its Millenium Surgical platform.

CT-3 Anti-inflammatory/Analgesic Compound

      We are developing our proprietary compound CT-3, a patented synthetic
derivative of carboxylic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-7C), as an alternative to
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or "NSAIDs," such as aspirin and
ibuprofen. Over 130 million Americans suffer from chronic pain and 40 million
suffer from arthritis, and worldwide prescription sales of
analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs exceeded $9 billion in 1999. Preliminary
studies


                                       15
<PAGE>



have shown that CT-3 demonstrates analgesic/anti-inflammatory properties at
microgram doses without central nervous system or gastrointestinal side effects
and also reduces joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

      Since CT-3 appears to possess a wide range of therapeutic activity, we are
carefully choosing an indication that we feel CT-3 would be most efficacious for
and one that will strategically allow us to increase the licensing value of CT-3
in the most timely and cost effective manner. We are continuing our efforts by
conducting additional preclinical tests to study the analgesic activity of CT-3,
particularly with reference to neuropathic pain. We are planning to initiate
shortly a Phase I/II clinical trial of safety, tolerability, and efficacy to
determine the upper limits of safe dosing with CT-3 and to measure the potential
for CT-3 to act as a pain reliever in patients with neuropathic pain. In
addition, we have recently initiated a development plan for CT-3 to test its
efficacy in multiple sclerosis. We are currently testing these assumptions by
conducting preliminary studies in animal models predictive of efficacy in
humans. We are also preparing to conduct Phase II clinical trials to evaluate
the efficacy of CT-3 in multiple sclerosis-associated tremors and spasticity.

      We are continuing to develop CT-3 for use in the treatment of a variety of
indications. After completion of the Phase I clinical trial we increased our
efforts to sublicense CT-3, to suitable strategic partners to assist in clinical
development, regulatory approval filing, manufacturing and marketing of CT-3.
Gemini and the 2-5A Antisense Technology

CryoComm(TM) Ultra High Speed Superconducting Electronics for Fiber-Optic Data
Transport and Routing

      On May 1, 2001, we announced that we are expanding our involvement in
superconducting electronics technology by launching a new wholly-owned
subsidiary, CryoComm, Inc. CryoComm is currently the only company developing
terabit superconducting electronics for Internet packet switching and transport
products to sustain future growth of the Internet. This technology will solve a
major problem for large carriers: how to increase network capacity and remain
profitable. The benefits of this technology include quality of service, traffic
grooming, real-time provisioning and software-defined functionality that cannot
be realized in conventional fiber-optic network switches. And such a system
could be smaller, consume less power, use less fiber bandwidth, and cost less
than semiconductor switches having the same capacity.

      CryoComm is currently developing and identifying all the elements for the
demonstration of an ultrafast fiber-optic packet switch based in superconducting
electronics. In particular, the company has a design for the superconducting
chip that will be at the core of the demonstration. CryoComm is now seeking a
directed investment of $5 million from private funding sources to demonstrate
320 gigabit per second switch capacity in a single chip in year 2002. The
company has presented this plan to major global long-haul telecommunications
carriers, and their responses have been uniformly positive and they have
encouraged the company to proceed with this development.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.    Other Information

Risk of Delisting

      We are at risk of being delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

      As of March 20, 2001, the minimum bid price of our common stock had been
less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. This constituted a failure on
our part to meet Nasdaq's continued inclusion requirement for minimum bid price.

      On March 22, 2001, Nasdaq notified us of this failure, and we had a period
of 90 calendar days from that notice to comply with the continued inclusion
standard for minimum bid price. To do so, we would have had to meet that
standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 90-day
compliance period. We failed to do so, and on June 21, 2001, Nasdaq notified us
that we would be delisted on June 29, 2001, unless by June 28, 2001, we request
a hearing before Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Panel.

      On June 28, 2001, we requested a hearing, and that hearing was held on
August 9, 2001. The delisting of our common stock has been stayed pending the
Panel's decision. At the hearing, we requested, based on our particular
circumstances, an extension of the time allotted to raise our share price. There
can be no assurance the Panel will grant our request.
