INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



(1)

The Company and Basis of Presentation


International Isotopes Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas in November 1995. The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, International Isotopes Idaho Inc., International Isotopes Fluorine Products Inc., and International Isotopes Transportation Services Inc., all of which are Idaho corporations.  The Company’s headquarters and all operations are located in Idaho Falls, Idaho.


Nature of Operations –The Company’s business consists of six major business segments which include: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, Fluorine Products, Radiological Services, and Transportation.


With the exception of certain unique products, the Company’s normal operating cycle is considered to be one year.  Due to the time required to produce some cobalt products, the Company’s operating cycle for those products is considered to be three years.  All assets expected to be realized in cash or sold during the normal operating cycle of business are classified as current assets.


Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries International Isotopes Idaho Inc., International Isotopes Fluorine Products Inc., and International Isotopes Transportation Services Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Interim Financial Information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three month period ending March 31, 2009, is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 which extended the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


(2)

Current Developments and Liquidity


Business Condition – Since inception, the Company has suffered substantial losses. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company had a loss of $587,927 and operations used cash of $476,368.  During the same period in 2008, the Company had a loss of $465,944 and operations used cash of $324,563. The Company believes that continued growth in its current business segments will continue to improve revenue and cash flow for the Company.  However, the Company will continue to invest in development of the fluorine extraction process (FEP) technology and the design and licensing of a larger scale uranium de-conversion and fluorine extraction facility.  Management expects to generate sufficient cash flows from the existing business segments to meet operational needs during 2009; however, there is no assurance that these cash flows will occur.  In addition, the Company will likely require additional capital to support ongoing efforts to expand the Company business to include the envisioned large scale uranium de-conversion processing and fluorine extraction plant.  Site studies as well as initial design and licensing activities for that new facility will continue through the remainder of 2009.

Stockholders’ Equity, Options and Warrants  


Employee Stock Purchase


During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 40,281 shares of common stock to employees for proceeds of $7,189.  Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company issued 39,791 shares of common stock to employees for proceeds of $6,426.  All of these shares were issued in accordance with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.


Stock-based Compensation Plans  


The Company accounts for issuances of stock-based compensation to employees under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R). SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).




- 7 -






The Company accounts for its issuances of stock-based compensation to non-employees for services using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in SFAS 123(R) and EITF 96-18.  Accordingly, the value of any awards that were vested and non forfeitable at their date of issuance were measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of issuance.  The non-vested portion of awards that are subject to the future performance of the counterparty are adjusted at each reporting date to their fair values based upon the then current market value of the Company’s stock and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable.  The fair value of the stock options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.


Option awards - A summary of the status of the stock options as of March 31, 2009, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2009, is as follows:

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable shares is based on a March 31, 2009, closing price of the Company’s common stock of $0.35 per share.


As of March 31, 2009, there was approximately $185,023 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.79 years.


During May 2009, the Company issued 800,000 non-employee options under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  The options were issued to consultants related to the fluorine extraction process.  These options have an exercise price of $0.32 per share, vest 20% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 20% on the second anniversary of grant date, and 30% per year thereafter and expire in May 2019.  The options had a grant date fair value of $182,202 or $0.23 per share as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  In accordance with EITF 96-18, these options will be revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model each reporting period.


During May 2009, the Company issued 7,500,000 options to officers and directors under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  These options had a fair value of $1,697,292 or $0.23 per share as estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The options have an exercise price of $0.32 per share, vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 25% after each additional one-year period of continuous service and expire 10 years from the date of grant.


Restricted stock awards - During January 2009, the Company granted 1,243,563 shares of restricted stock to certain employees as part of their annual performance award and incentive under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock award was 20% vested on the date of grant and will vest with respect to an additional 20% of the award on each anniversary thereof until fully vested.  The restricted stock awards had a grant date fair value of $223,841. At the time of grant 20% of the shares, or 248,713 shares, were vested.  Simultaneously, at the request of employees, 77,092 shares were withheld to pay taxes on deemed employee compensation.

The value of non-vested stock under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan at March 31, 2009 is $348,198 and is based on a March 31, 2009 value of $0.35 per share.  As of March 31, 2009, there was approximately $127,924 of unamortized deferred compensation that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.


Compensation expense charged against income for stock based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $112,809, as compared to $87,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements

Commitments and Contingencies


Dependence on Third Parties


The production of HSA Cobalt is dependent upon the U.S. Department of Energy, and its prime operating contractor, which controls the reactor operations and, therefore, controls the continued production of cobalt in the government funded reactor.   Nuclear Medicine Reference and Calibration Standard manufacturing is conducted under an exclusive contract with another of our customers, RadQual, LLC, which in turn has an agreement in place with several companies for distributing the product.  Sale of iodine radiochemical is dependent upon continued supply of the material from a single source in South Africa.  A loss of any of these customers or suppliers could adversely affect operating results by causing a delay in production or a possible loss of sales.


Contingencies


Because all of the Company’s business segments involve radioactive materials the Company is required to have an operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) and specially trained staff to handle these materials.  The Company has an NRC operating license and has amended this license several times to increase the amount of material permitted within the facility.   Additional processing capabilities and license amendments could be implemented that would permit processing of other reactor produced radioisotopes by the Company but this license does not currently restrict the volume of business operation performed or projected to be performed in the coming year.  An irrevocable, automatic renewable letter of credit against a Certificate of Deposit at Wells Fargo Bank has been used to provide the financial assurance required by the NRC for the Idaho facility license.

ITEM  2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report are forward looking.  In particular, statements regarding growth in our business segments; increased cash flow to meet operational needs; improvement in our financial strength, debt ratio and attractiveness to investors and lenders; future liquidity requirements; NRC licensing requirements; and the consequences of the loss of any of our major customers are forward looking.  Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations, plans or projections.   Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations are described in the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2009.  These factors, describe some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations.  The Company will not publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are urged, however, to review the factors set forth in reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three-month periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008.


Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, were $1,699,670 as compared to $1,307,938 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $391,732, or 30%. The increase in total revenues for the three-month period was attributable to strong performance in cobalt, nuclear medicine, and radiochemical product business segments.  Since the timing of large bulk cobalt product sales during the course of the calendar year has a significant impact upon period comparisons management believes that excluding sales of bulk cobalt product from the period comparisons of revenues provides useful information to investors.


Excluding bulk cobalt sales, revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, were $1,205,009 as compared to $1,307,938 in 2008, which represents a decrease of 7.9%.   Please refer to the following tables for a further analysis of this measure:

Revenues from the sale of radiochemical products for the three-month period ending March 31, 2009, were $348,771 compared to $318,408 for the same period in 2008. This represents an increase in revenue of $30,363, or about 10%. Increases in the segment performance are attributable to increased sales of radiochemical iodine-131.  Revenues from nuclear medicine products for the three-month period ending March 31, 2009 were $488,986 compared to $447,410 for the same period in 2008.  This represents an increase in revenue of $41,576, or about 9%. Revenues from radiological services segment for the three-month period ending March 31, 2009, were $80,353 compared to $245,722 for the same period in 2008; a decrease of $165,369 or 67%. The decline in this segment’s revenue was largely attributable to a decline in the volume of gemstone processing.  Current economic conditions are having a negative impact upon the gemstone industry which directly affects this segments performance. Revenues from fluorine products segment for the three-month period ending March 31, 2009, were $878 compared to $0 for the same period in 2008.  This small amount of revenue resulted from the sale of an initial qualification lot of material to our prospective customer.

Gross profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, was $868,934 compared to $698,402 for the same period in 2008. This represents an increase of $170,532 or 24%. Operating expenses increased to $1,440,134 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1,145,507 for the same period of 2008.  This represents an increase of $294,627 or 26%.  Operating costs have increased in the period comparisons due to increased general, administrative and consultant expense related to engineering design, and licensing efforts to support the planned depleted uranium de-conversion and fluorine extraction process facility.  This includes fluorine extraction pilot plant demonstrations, efforts related to raising additional capital, and the consulting services of our subcontractor, Advanced Process Technology Services (APTS).   We also realized a significant increase in stock based compensation expense.   Salaries and contract labor expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 were $536,054 as compared to $512,612 for the same period of 2008. General administrative expenses totaled $898,645 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $617,167 for the same period of 2008.  


Our net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $587,927 compared to a loss of $465,944 for the same period in 2008.  This is an increase in loss of $121,983 or 26%, and was attributable to increases in general, administrative and consultant costs related to the support and continued development of the license application and plant design of the planned depleted uranium de-conversion and fluorine extraction processing facility.  


Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, was $39,128 as compared to $36,169 for the same periods in 2008.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


On March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,559,246.  For the three-months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $476,368.  We used $87,217 for investing activities and $26,509 for financing activities during the three-months ended March 31, 2009.


At March 31, 2009, the Company had two outstanding loans with Compass Bank. One loan carries an outstanding balance of $100,228 with an interest rate of 9.25% and matures September 15, 2011. The

second loan, which matured March 31, 2009, and was renewed April 20, 2009,  has an outstanding balance of $527,844 with an interest rate of 7.25%.


Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, contract manufacturing agreements, commercial relationships, technological developments, market factors, available credit, and voluntary warrant redemption by shareholders.  We have 21,533,331 Class E and F warrants outstanding.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) rules and forms. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 was completed based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Although our disclosure controls and internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
