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 and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements.


Recent Accounting Standards - 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 the portions of SFAS No. 157 that were not postponed by (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the postponed portions of SFAS No. 157 to 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company had a loss of $1,451,815 and operations used cash of $981,591.  During the same period in 2007, the Company had a loss of $1,146,281 and operations used cash of $939,657. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company had a loss of $739,161 as compared to a loss of $276,287 for the similar period in 2007. 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 fluorione extraction process (FEP) technology as well as 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 2008; 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 2008 and a significant portion of 2009.

Asset Acquisition


In May 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Sequoyah Fuels Corporation pursuant to which the Company purchased certain tangible and intangible assets related to Sequoyah’s depleted uranium hexafluoride to depleted uranium tetrafluoride conversion facility located in Gore, Oklahoma.  On May 30, 2008, the Company and Sequoyah entered into a Technical Support Services Agreement pursuant to which Sequoyah will perform up to 500 hours of certain technical services to support the Acquired Assets.  As consideration for the acquired assets and the service agreement, the Company paid Sequoyah $900,000 cash.  The Company is currently considering how to allocate the purchase price among tangible assets, intangible assets and the service agreement and currently  has the entire $900,000 recorded as production equipment.  These assets are not being depreciated until such time as the assets are placed into service.

Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants


Options


During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain option holders exercised 470,000 options under cashless exercises and the Company issued 366,568 shares of common stock. Certain option holders also exercised 1,500,000 options at $0.20 per share for $30,000 and the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock.


Warrants


During January 2008, 13,333,331 Series D warrants were exercised for cash totaling $1,466,666.  In April 2008, the holders of all Class C warrants agreed to amend the terms of the Class C warrant to allow for the Company’s call of those warrants. Subsequent to completing this modification, all 13,333,331 Class C warrants were exercised for cash totaling $1,333,333 and the Company issued 13,333,331 exchange (Class E) warrants in accordance with the terms of the Class C warrant. Class E warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price equal to $0.869 per share. Class E warrants expire March 20, 2011.




- 7 -






Employee Stock Purchase


During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 18,302 shares of common stock to employees for proceeds of $12,110.  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).


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.


In January 2008, the Company granted stock options to a consultant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.77 per share.  The options vest at the rate of 25% each year over four years beginning one year from the date granted.  The options had a grant date fair value of $258,012 or $0.65 per share as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  


The weighted average assumptions for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 used an expected dividend yield of zero and a risk-free interest rate of 3.33%. The expected volatility factor used was 110.92% with an expected life of 6.26 years.  Weighted average fair value per share was assumed to be $0.56.


In accordance with EITF 96-18, as of September 30, 2008, the options awarded to consultants were re-valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and had a fair value of $225,181 or $0.56 per share with the following assumptions: volatility of 90.68%, remaining expected life of six years, risk free interest rate of 3.18% and no dividends.


The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise trends.  The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options.  The dividend yield represents the anticipated cash dividend over the expected life of the stock options.


Compensation expense charged against income for stock based awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $267,925, as compared to $229,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements.

Acquisition of Interest in RadQual, LLC


During April 2007, the Company acquired 6% of the equity interests of RadQual, LLC for a cash payment of $330,000.  In May 2008, the Company acquired an additional 18.5% interest by issuing  1,370,753 shares of common stock valued at $960,000 or $0.70 per share.  The remaining 75.5% ownership of RadQual is concentrated among a very small group of investors and due to this concentration the Company is unable to exert significant control or influence over the operations and policies of RadQual, LLC. Accordingly, the investment in RadQual will continue to be recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with FAB Interpretation 35 “Criteria for Applying the Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.”  The 24.5% ownership of RadQual has been recorded at cost of $1,290,000.

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.  The revenue associated with the sale of HSA Cobalt is largely dependent on General Electric, the Company’s sole customer for this product.  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.  A loss of either of these customers 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-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008.  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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, and 2007.  


Revenues for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, were $1,245,164 and $4,429,144 as compared to $1,486,112 and $3,592,049 for the same periods in 2007, a decrease of $240,948, or 16%, for the three-month period and an increase of $837,095, or 23%, for the nine-month period.  The increase in total revenues for the nine-month period was attributable to strong performance in cobalt and radiochemical product business segments.  The decline in revenue for the three-month period was attributable to normal variations in the sale of bulk cobalt for the period comparisons.  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 September 30, 2008, were $1,245,164 as compared to $1,038,835 for the same period in 2007, which represents an increase of 20%.   Excluding bulk cobalt product sales, revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, were $3,940,888 as compared to $3,144,773 for the same period in 2007, which represents an increase of 25%.  Please refer to the following tables for a further analysis of this measure:

- 12 -






Revenues from the sale of radiochemical products for the three-month period ending September 30, 2008, were $348,968 compared to $248,228 for the same period in 2007.  Revenues from the sale of radiochemical products for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008, were $1,017,366 compared to $758,235 for the same period in 2007.  These represent increases in revenue of $100,740, or about 40%, and $259,131, or about 34% for the three and nine-month periods respectively.  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 September 30, 2008 were $487,640 compared to $466,435 for the same period in 2007. Revenues from the sale of nuclear medicine products for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008, were $1,399,338 compared to $1,386,213 for the same period in 2007.  This represents an increase in income of $21,205, or about 4% , and an increase in income of $13,125, or 1%,  respectively.  Revenues from radiological services segment for the three-month period ending September 30, 2008, were $115,262 compared to $136,978 for the same period in 2007; a decrease of $21,716 or 16%.  Revenues from radiological services segment for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008, were $527,532 compared to $503,877 for the same period in 2007.  This represents an increase in revenue of $23,655 or approximately a 5% increase.  The fluctuations in revenue from this segment were attributable to typical variations in the volume of gemstone processing.  


Gross profit for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, was $597,282 and $2,246,355 compared to $689,849 and $1,618,879 for the same periods in 2007.  This represents a decrease of $92,567 or 13% and an increase of $627,476 or 39%, for the three and nine month periods respectively.  However, gross profit as a percentage of revenue grew from 46% to 48% for the three-month period and from 45% to 50% for the nine-month period comparisons.  The improvement in gross profit percentage was the result of improvements in production costs and production efficiencies.


Operating expenses increased to $1,324,266 and $3,647,443 for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $970,115 and $2,756,052 for the same periods of 2007.  This represents an increase of $354,151 or 36%, and $891,391 or 32%, for the three and nine-month periods respectively.  Operating costs have increased in the period comparisons due to increased salaries, contract labor, and legal expense related to engineering design, licensing, addition of full time staff, subcontractors, and legal counsel necessary to support continued growth of the fluorine products division.  This includes pilot plant demonstrations and efforts related to equipment acquisition, raising capital, and protecting newly developed intellectual property. The Company also realized a significant increase in stock based compensation expense.   Salaries and contract labor expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 were $510,908 and $1,531,385 as compared to $406,783 and $1,101,605 for the same periods of 2007. General administrative expenses totaled $806,888 and $2,087,470 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $536,502 and $1,608,698 for the same periods of 2007.


Our net loss for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $739,161 and $1,451,815 compared to a loss of $276,287 and $1,146,281 for the same periods in 2007.  This is an increase in loss of $462,874 and $305,534, or 167% and 26% respectively, and was attributable to increases in operating costs related to the support and continued growth of the fluorine products division including the pilot plant demonstration facility and efforts related to equipment acquisition, raising capital, and protecting newly developed intellectual property.  


Interest expense for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, was $35,706 and $108,014 as compared to $37,649 and $123,624 for the same periods in 2007.  The reduction in interest expense was attributable to a reduction in the principal balance owed.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


On September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $660,361.  For the nine-months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $981,591.  We used $1,228,395 for investing activities.  Financing activities provided $2,748,460 from exercise of warrants and issuance and sale of Company stock.  


At September 30, 2008, the Company had two outstanding loans with Compass Bank, formerly known as Texas State Bank. One loan carries an outstanding balance of $117,597 with an interest rate of 9.25% and matures September 15, 2011. The second loan has an outstanding balance of $553,037 with an interest rate of 10.25%, matures March 31, 2009, and is, therefore, reported as a current liability.





- 13 -






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 13,333,331 Class E warrants still outstanding.


During January 2008, 13,333,331 Series D warrants were exercised for cash totaling $1,466,666.  In April 2008, the holders of all Class C warrants agreed to amend the terms of the Class C warrant to allow for the Company’s call of those warrants.  Subsequent to completing this modification, all Class C warrants were exercised for cash totaling $1,333,331 and the Company issued 13,333,331 exchange (Class E) warrants in accordance with the terms of the Class C warrant. Class E warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price equal to $0.869 per share. Class E warrants expire March 20, 2011.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


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 September 30, 2008 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.


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.
