INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2018


(1)

The Company and Basis of Presentation


International Isotopes Inc. (INIS) was incorporated in Texas in November 1995. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include all operations and balances of INIS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of INIS’s 50% owned joint venture, TI Services, LLC (TI Services), and the accounts of INIS’s 24.5% interest in RadQual, LLC (Radqual).  TI Services is headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio and was formed with RadQual in December 2010 to distribute products and services for nuclear medicine, nuclear cardiology and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.  RadQual, which is now headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, is a global supplier of molecular imaging quality control devices. INIS, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TI Services, and RadQual are collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us.”


Nature of Operations – The Company manufactures a full range of nuclear medicine calibration and reference standards, a wide range of cobalt products, and provides a varied selection of radiochemicals for industrial uses, medical research, drug manufacture, and clinical applications. The Company also provides recycling and processing services on a contract basis for clients and holds several patents for a fluorine extraction process that it expects to use in conjunction with a proposed commercial depleted uranium de-conversion facility in Lea County, New Mexico.   The Company’s business consists of five major business segments: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, Fluorine Products, and Radiological Services. Beginning in 2018, the Company began reporting the Transportation segment activity, which was previously reported as a separate segment, within its other business segments. The Company’s headquarters and all operations, with the exception of TI Services, are located in Idaho Falls, Idaho.


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 two to three years.  Accordingly, preliminary payments received on cobalt contracts, where shipment will not take place for greater than one year, have been recorded as unearned revenue and classified under current or long-term liabilities, depending upon estimated ship dates, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These unearned revenues will be recognized as revenue in the future period during which the cobalt shipments begin. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as its 24.5% interest in RadQual, and its 50%-owned joint venture, TI Services.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 4. “Investment and Business Consolidation” for additional information regarding the consolidation of RadQual.


Interim Financial Information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP 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 ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern”.  The guidance requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date financial statements are issued.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 31, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early application permitted.  We have implemented the new standard and have determined that it has no impact on the accompanying financial statements.




6




In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior-period amounts have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Based upon the Company’s contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017, the Company was not required to make an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. See Note 9 for further discussion.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are in the process of completing our assessment and anticipate that ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, as we will record significant asset and liability balances in connection with our leased property. The Company has evaluated this standard and believes an adjustment of approximately $800,000 will be made beginning in 2019, to both the assets and liabilities of the Company to recognize a lease related to real estate.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows” which was issued to improve uniformity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, and it has not had any impact on the Company’s statement of cash flows.


The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”), effective January 1, 2018. This update clarified that transfers between cash and restricted cash are not reported as cash flow activities in the statements of cash flows. As such, restricted cash amounts are included with cash and cash equivalents in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statements of cash flows. The Company applied this update retrospectively, which resulted in an adjustment to the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to include restricted cash balances from those periods.


(2)

Current Developments and Liquidity


Business Condition – Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $34,404, net of non-controlling interest, and net cash provided by operating activities of $127,828. During the same period in 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $786,266, net of non-controlling interest, and net cash used in operating activities of $331,125.


During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company continued its focus on its long-standing core business segments which consist of its radiochemical products, cobalt products, nuclear medicine standards, and radiological services, and in particular, the pursuit of new business opportunities within those segments.


The Company expects that cash from operations, cash raised through equity or debt financing and its current cash balance will be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. 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. There is no assurance that additional capital and financing will be available on acceptable terms to the Company or at all.


(3)

Net Income Per Common Share - Basic and Diluted


For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had 31,850,000 stock options outstanding, 45,090,000 warrants outstanding, 4,213 outstanding shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series C Preferred Stock), and 425,000 outstanding shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series B Preferred Stock) each of which were included in the computation of diluted income per common share.




7




For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had 20,750,000 stock options outstanding, 44,584,172 warrants outstanding, 3,433 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and 425,000 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each of which were not included in the computation of diluted income per common share because they would be anti-dilutive.


(4)

Investment and Business Consolidation


The Company owns a 24.5% interest in RadQual, with which the Company has an exclusive manufacturing agreement for nuclear medicine products. In August 2017, affiliates of the Company, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, acquired the remaining 75.5% interest in RadQual. The Company’s Chairman of the Board and its Chief Executive Officer also serve as the managing members of RadQual. As a result of this change in ownership, and other factors, the Company determined that it gained the ability to exercise significant management control over the operations of RadQual.  Because of this increased management control, and pursuant to GAAP, the Company has consolidated the accounts of RadQual into its financial statements beginning as of August 10, 2017.


(5)

Inventories


Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Work in process includes cobalt-60 targets that are located in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) located outside of Idaho Falls, Idaho. These targets are owned by the Company and contain cobalt-60 material at various stages of irradiation. The carrying value of the targets is based on accumulated irradiation and handling costs which have been allocated to each target based on the length of time the targets have been held and processed at the ATR. At March 31, 2018, this cobalt target inventory had a carrying value of $425,159, and at December 31, 2017, the cobalt target inventory was valued at $432,623.


Work in process also includes costs to irradiate cobalt-60 material under a contract with the DOE. This material has been placed in the ATR and the Company is making progress payments designed to coincide with the completion of the irradiation period. The Company has contracted with several customers for the sale of some of this product material and is collecting advance payments for project management, up-front handling, and other production costs from those customers.  The advance payments from customers have been recorded as unearned revenue. The revenue and the costs associated with production of raw materials will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements as cobalt products are completed and start being either shipped to customers or be used as raw material in other products which is expected to begin in late 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company issued 21,811 and 8,886 shares of common stock, respectively, to employees under the employee stock purchase plan for proceeds of $1,527 and $622, respectively.  As of March 31, 2018, 674,079 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the employee stock purchase plan.


Stock-Based Compensation Plans  


2015 Incentive Plan - In April 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the International Isotopes Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan (2015 Plan) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders in July 2015. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other stock or cash-based awards.  The 2015 Plan amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan).  The 2015 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 60,000,000 shares of common stock, plus 11,089,967 shares authorized, but not issued under the 2006 Plan.  At March 31, 2018, there were 12,501,331 shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

Employee/Director Grants - The Company accounts for issuances of stock-based compensation to employees by recognizing, as compensation expense, the cost of employee services received in exchange for the equity awards. The compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Stock option compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).


Non-Employee Grants - The Company accounts for its issuances of stock-based compensation to non-employees by measuring the value of any awards that were vested and non-forfeitable at their date of issuance based on the grant date fair value of the award.  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.  


Option awards outstanding as of March 31, 2018, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2018, were as follows:

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable shares is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $0.07 per share on March 31, 2018, the last trading day of the quarter.


As of March 31, 2018, there was $232,815 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.05 years.


During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 1,000,000 qualified stock options were exercised under a cashless exercise. The Company withheld 388,889 shares to satisfy the exercise price and issued 611,111 shares of common stock. The options exercised were granted under a qualified plan, and accordingly, there is no income tax effect in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.


On February 19, 2018, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 1,000,000 qualified stock options to an employee. The stock options were granted with an exercise price of $0.08 per share. The options vest one fifth per year beginning one year from the grant date and expire on February 19, 2028. The options had a fair value of $59,130 as estimated on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.63% to 2.81%, expected dividend yield rate of 0%, expected volatility of 62.18% to 69.94% and an expected life between 5.5 and 7.5 years.


Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $73,704 and $16,819, respectively.


Pursuant to an employment agreement with its CEO, the Company awarded 350,000 fully vested shares of common stock in February 2018 under the 2015 Plan.  The number of shares awarded was based on a $28,000 stock award using a price of $0.08 per share. The employment agreement provides that the number of shares issued will be based on the average closing price of common stock for the 20 trading days prior to issue date but not less than $0.05 per share.  Compensation expense recorded pursuant to this stock grant was $16,786, which was determined by multiplying the number of shares awarded by the closing price of the common stock on February 28, 2018, which was $0.08 per share. The Company withheld 140,175 shares of common stock to satisfy the employee’s payroll tax obligations in connection with this issuance. The net shares issued on February 28, 2018 totaled 209,825 shares.

Preferred Stock


At March 31, 2018, there were 850 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding with a mandatory redemption date of May 2022 at $1,000 per share or $850,000. The shares are also convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. These Series B Preferred Stock carry no dividend preferences. Due to the mandatory redemption provision, the Series B Preferred Stock has been classified as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.


On February 17, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including two of the Company’s directors, for the sale of (i) an aggregate of 3,433 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) Class M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the Class M Warrants), for gross proceeds of $3,433,000.  The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 6% per annum, payable annually on February 17th of each year, commencing on February 17, 2018.  The Series C Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the investors at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  At any time after February 17, 2019, if the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a period of 90 consecutive trading days is greater than $0.25 per share, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at the original purchase price per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, payable in shares of common stock.  All outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemed by the Company on February 17, 2022 at the original purchase price per share, payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the holder. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights, except as required by law and in connection with certain events as set forth in the Statement of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock.


The Class M Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant, and have a term of five years.


The Company allocated the proceeds to the Series C Preferred Stock and Class M Warrants based on their relative fair value, which resulted in $2,895,379 being allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock and $537,621 being allocated to the Class M Warrants. The allocated Class M Warrant value was recorded as a discount to the Series C Preferred Stock and will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year life of the warrants.


The fair value of the Class M Warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, was calculated using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.92%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 66%, and an expected life of five years.


On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to its 8% Convertible Notes (the Amendment), pursuant to which the 8% Convertible Notes (the Notes) issued by the Company in July 2012 were amended to give noteholders certain additional rights.  Pursuant to the Amendment, the Notes were modified to provide each holder the right, at the holder’s option and exercisable prior to May 12, 2017, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1,000 per share.  Holders that elected to convert their Notes into Series C Preferred Stock received a Class N Warrant to purchase up to 3,750 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock received upon conversion of the Notes, with each Warrant having a five-year term, a cashless exercise feature, and an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock.  On May 12, 2017, the Company completed the retirement of $1,835,000 of the Notes in early cash redemptions, and $780,000 of the Notes were converted into an aggregate of 780 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Class N Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,925,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.


The Class N Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant, and have a term of five years.

The Company allocated the proceeds to the Series C Preferred Stock and Class N Warrants based on their relative fair value, which resulted in $675,947 being allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock and $104,053 being allocated to the Class N Warrants. The allocated Class N Warrant value was recorded as a discount to the Series C Preferred Stock and will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year life of the warrants.


The fair value of the Class N Warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, was calculated using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.93%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 66%, and an expected life of five years.


In February 2018, the Company paid its first dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock.  Dividends payable totaled $241,730.  Some holders of the Series C Preferred Stock elected to settle their dividend payments with shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash.  The Company issued 2,288,646 shares of common stock in lieu of a dividend payment of $205,980.  The remaining $35,750 of dividend payable was settled with cash.


(7) Debt


In December 2013, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with the Chairman of the Board and a major shareholder pursuant to which the Company borrowed $500,000.  The note is unsecured and bears interest at 6% per annum and was originally due September 30, 2014. At any time, the lenders may elect to have any or all of the principal plus accrued interest under the promissory note repaid in the form of our common stock at a price per share determined based upon the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 days preceding the maturity or prepayment date.  In connection with the promissory note, each of the lenders was issued 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.06 per share.  The warrants are immediately exercisable. Pursuant to an amendment to the promissory note on June 30, 2014, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017 and each lender was granted an additional 7,500,000 warrants, which are immediately exercisable, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.06 per share.  In December 2016, the note was further modified to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2022, with all remaining terms unchanged. At March 31, 2018, the balance of the promissory note was $500,000 and accrued interest payable on the note was $129,234.  Interest expense recorded for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, was $7,500.


In March 2016, we entered into a note payable for the purchase of a vehicle.  The principal amount financed was $47,513.  The term of the note is six years and carries an interest rate of 6.66%.  Monthly payments are $805 and the note matures April 2022. The note is secured by the vehicle that was purchased with the note’s proceeds.


In August 2017, the Company borrowed $60,000 from its Chairman of the Board pursuant to a short-term promissory note. The note accrues interest at 5% per year, which is payable upon maturity of the note, and at March 31, 2018, the amount of accrued interest on the note was $1,750.  The note is unsecured and matures on June 30, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies


Dependence on Third Parties


The production of High Specific Activity (HSA) Cobalt is dependent upon the DOE, and its prime operating contractor, which controls the ATR and laboratory operations at the ATR located outside of Idaho Falls, Idaho.  In October 2014, the Company signed a ten-year contract with the DOE for the irradiation of cobalt targets for the production of cobalt-60. The Company will be able to purchase cobalt targets for a fixed price per target with an annual 5% escalation in price.  The contract term is October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2024, however, the contract may be extended beyond that date.  Also, the DOE may end the contract if it determines termination is necessary for the national defense, security or environmental safety of the United States. If this were to occur, all payments made by the Company, for partially irradiated undelivered cobalt material, would be refunded.


Nuclear Medicine Reference and Calibration Standard manufacturing is conducted under an exclusive contract with RadQual, which in turn has an agreement in place with several companies for distributing the products. Additionally, the majority of the radiochemical product sold by the Company is supplied to the Company through an agreement with a single entity. 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.




11




Contingencies


Because all the Company’s business segments involve the handling or use of radioactive material, the Company is required to have an operating license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and specially trained staff to handle these materials. The Company has amended this operating license numerous times to increase the amount of material permitted within the Company’s facility. Although this license does not currently restrict the volume of business operations performed or projected to be performed in the upcoming year, additional processing capabilities and license amendments could be implemented that would permit processing of other reactor-produced radioisotopes by the Company.  The financial assurance required by the NRC to support this license has been provided for with a surety bond held with North American Specialty Insurance Company which is supported by a restricted money market account in the amount of $614,315.


In August 2011, the Company received land from Lea County, New Mexico, pursuant to a Project Participation Agreement (PPA), whereby the land was deeded to the Company for no monetary consideration. In return, we committed to construct a uranium de-conversion and Fluorine Extraction Process (FEP) facility on the land.  In order to retain title to the property, we were to begin construction of the de-conversion facility no later than December 31, 2014, and complete Phase I of the project and have hired at least 75 persons to operate the facility no later than December 31, 2015, although commercial operations need not have begun by that date. In 2015, the Company negotiated a modification to the PPA agreement that extended the start of construction date to December 31, 2015, and the hiring milestone to December 31, 2016.  Those dates were not met and the Company is currently in the process of renegotiating a second modification to the agreement to further extend those dates. If the Company is not successful in extending the performance dates in the agreement then it may, at its sole option, either purchase or re-convey the property to Lea County, New Mexico.  The purchase price of the property would be $776,078, plus interest at the annual rate of 5.25% from the date of the closing to the date of payment.  The Company has not recorded the value of this property as an asset and will not do so until such time that sufficient progress on the project has been made to meet our obligations under the agreements for permanent transfer of the title.

Prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective approach.


Under topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the product or service.


Product sales consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time.  All transactions in the radiochemical products and nuclear medicine standards segments fall in to this category.  Most sales transactions in the cobalt products business segment fall into this category but other cobalt product sales are recorded as deferred income as discussed below. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, (b) the Company has a present right to payment, (c) the customer has legal title to the products, and (d) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products.   Based on the Company’s historical practices and shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and invoices, these criteria are generally met when the products are:


Ÿ

invoiced

Ÿ

shipped from the Company’s facilities (“FOB shipping point”, which is the Company’s standard shipping term). For these sales, the Company determined that the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped.




12




In the radiological services segment, the Company performs services under multiple types of contracts.  In this segment, the Company processes gemstones and recovers various types of radioactive and/or hazardous materials from third-party facilities. Contracts for gemstone processing include two performance obligations and revenue for these contracts is recognized when each obligation is met. Recovery projects typically have only one performance obligation which is delivery of the final product or service.  Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue once the work is complete and the customer has obtained substantially all of the benefits from the services, and the performance obligations under the contract have been met. Some recovery contracts have milestones at which point the Company can invoice and receive payments from the customer.  With these contracts, the company considers each milestone a performance obligation and records revenue at the time each milestone is completed, and the customer has inspected and accepted the results of the services. The Company’s standard payment terms for its customers are generally 30 to 60 days after the Company satisfies the performance obligations.


The Company’s revenue consists primarily of products manufactured for use in the nuclear medicine industry and recycling and processing services performed on a contract basis for customers. 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 two to three years.  Accordingly, preliminary payments received on cobalt contracts, where shipment will not take place for greater than one year, have been recorded as unearned revenue and classified under current or long-term liabilities, depending upon estimated ship dates, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported current unearned cobalt products revenue of $2,610,913 and non-current unearned revenue of $688,980.  For the same three-month period in 2017, the Company reported current unearned revenue of $2,676,138 and non-current unearned revenue of $364,440.  These unearned revenues will be recognized as revenue in the future period during which the cobalt shipments begin.


Contract Balances


The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied.  As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable totaled $850,868 and $635,026, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not incur material impairment losses with respect to its receivables.


Practical Expedients


The Company has elected the practical expedient not to determine whether contacts with customers contain significant financing components.


(10)

 Segment Information


The Company has five reportable segments which include: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, Fluorine Products, and Radiological Services.  Effective January 1, 2018, the Company no longer separately reports the activity in its transportation segment and transportation activities are reported within the other segments.   Management believes this change will provide more accurate reporting of segment activity.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW


International Isotopes Inc., its subsidiaries and joint venture, TI Services, LLC and RadQual, LLC (collectively, the Company, we, our, or us) manufacture a full range of nuclear medicine calibration and reference standards, a wide range of products including cobalt teletherapy sources, and a varied selection of radioisotopes and radiochemicals for medical research, and clinical applications. We also hold several patents for a fluorine extraction process that we intend to use in conjunction with a planned commercial depleted uranium de-conversion facility, and provide a host of transportation, recycling, and processing services on a contract basis for clients. We also own a 24.5% interest in and have management control of RadQual, LLC (RadQual), a global supplier of molecular imaging quality control devices, with which we have an exclusive manufacturing agreement for nuclear imaging products.


In August 2017, affiliates of the Company, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, acquired the remaining 75.5% interest in RadQual.  The Company’s Chairman of the Board and its Chief Executive Officer also serve as the managing members of RadQual. As a result of this change in ownership, and other factors, the Company determined that it had gained the ability to exercise significant management control over the operations of RadQual.  Because of this increased management ability and pursuant to GAAP, the Company has consolidated the accounts of RadQual into its financial statements beginning as of August 2017.  See Note 4 “Investment and Business Consolidation” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information.


Our business consists of the following five major business segments:


Nuclear Medicine Standards. Our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment consists of the manufacture of sources and standards associated with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.  These sources are used for indication of patient positioning for SPECT imaging, SPECT camera operational testing, and calibration of dose measurement equipment.  Revenue from nuclear medicine products includes consolidated sales from TI Services, LLC (TI Services), a 50/50 joint venture that we formed with RadQual in December 2010 to distribute our products, as well as consolidated sales from RadQual, pursuant to the change in RadQual’s ownership in August 2017, as discussed above.  Our nuclear medicine standards products include a host of specialty design items used in the nuclear medicine industry. In addition to the manufacture of these products, we have developed a complete line of specialty packaging for the safe transport and handling of these products.


Cobalt Products. Our Cobalt Products segment includes the production of bulk cobalt (cobalt-60), fabrication of cobalt capsules for radiation therapy and various industrial applications, and recycling of expended cobalt sources. We are the only company in the U.S. that can provide all these unique services. There has been a significant increase in regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in recent years that has created a significant barrier to new entrants to this market.




16




Radiochemical Products. Our Radiochemical Products segment includes production and distribution of various isotopically pure radiochemicals for medical, industrial, or research applications.  These products are either directly produced by us or are purchased in bulk form from other producers and distributed by us in customized packages and chemical forms tailored to meet customer requirements. This segment will also include our generic radiopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical products we plan to begin producing and selling pending U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.


We have submitted an abbreviated New Drug Application (aNDA) to the FDA for a radiochemical product. The FDA has granted the Company’s request for an expedited review of the application which could accelerate the approval of the product.  Once approved we anticipate a quick start-up of commercial sales of the drug product which should have a significant positive impact on our revenues. We are also considering other generic drug opportunities and plan to expand the range of products offered within this business segment in the coming years.


Fluorine Products. We established the Fluorine Products segment in 2004 to support production and sale of the gases that we expected to be produced using our Fluorine Extraction Process (FEP) in conjunction with the operation of the proposed depleted uranium de-conversion facility in Lea County, New Mexico.  Near the end of 2013, due to changes in the nuclear industry, we placed further engineering work on this project on hold.  Further development activity within this segment will be deferred until market and industry conditions change to justify resuming design and construction of the facility.  In the meantime, the Company expects to continue to incur some costs associated with the maintenance of licenses and other necessary project investments, and to continue to keep certain agreements in place that will support resumption of project activities at the appropriate time.


Radiological Services. Our Radiological Services segment consists of a wide variety of miscellaneous services such as decommissioning disused irradiation units, performing sealed source exchanges in irradiation and therapy units, and gemstone processing. We are licensed through the NRC to perform certain field service activities in connection with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Orphan Source Recovery Program (OSRP).  These activities include services to support recovery of disused sources under the DOE’s OSRP and installation or removal of certain cobalt therapy units. We designed and built a mobile hot cell unit to use in the performance of OSRP field service jobs.  This type of field service work is expected to generate the majority of revenue within this business segment in the coming years and it has expanded to include similar international contract opportunities through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).


We are no longer reporting our transportation activities as a separate business segment. We established our Transportation segment in 2006 to provide transportation of our own products and to support our field services activities. Our transportation services have historically generated a very small revenue stream from providing services to other companies and have primarily operated in support of our radiological services and cobalt products business segments.  Because of this, effective January 1, 2018, management has decided we will eliminate transportation services as a separate reporting segment and will include future transportation service activity within the other business segments for which the service is performed. Prior period results for the affected segments have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating expense decreased approximately 19% to $1,209,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from $1,492,653 for the same period in 2017.  This decrease of $283,640, is primarily due to a decrease in General, Administrative and Consulting costs, as a result of decreased legal and licensing costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in legal costs is the result of the conclusion of arbitration proceedings in 2017. Salaries and contract labor costs increased to $569,459, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $493,881, for the same period in 2017. This is an increase of $75,578, or approximately 15% and is the result of an increase in the number of the Company’s personnel during the last 12 months. In addition, non-cash equity compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $73,704 and for the same period in 2017, non-cash equity compensation was $16,819. This is an increase of $56,885 and is primarily the result of non-cash compensation expense recorded for 11,500,000 stock options which were granted to employees and non-employees in July 2017 and a grant of 1,000,000 options to an employee in February 2018.  Non-cash equity compensation is calculated based on unexercised and outstanding stock options, warrants, and other equity-based instruments.  As these instruments become fully vested, are exercised or expire the related non-cash compensation expense will decrease. At March 31, 2018, there were 31,850,000 option awards outstanding of which 21,350,000 were vested.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $106,034, compared to $133,316 for the same period in 2017. This is a decrease of $27,282, or approximately 20%. Interest expense reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, includes interest accrued and paid to holders of our convertible debt which was issued in July 2012 and which matured in July 2017.  Interest expense also includes dividends accrued on our Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock).  Interest expense related to the convertible debt was allocated over the life of the notes to general operations and to research and development based on the use of the funding proceeds.  As discussed below, we issued Series C Preferred Stock in February and May 2017.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we accrued dividends payable of $57,650 which have been recorded as interest expense.  Additionally, non-cash interest expense in the amount of $32,084 was recorded for this same period for the issuance of warrants related to the preferred stock issuances.  Interest was also paid on a loan for a vehicle purchased in May 2016.

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $34,404, compared to a net loss of $786,266, for the same period in 2017.  This is an increase in net income of $820,670, and is the result of our increased sales, as set forth in the above table, our increased gross profit, and the significant reduction in operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.


Radiochemical Products.  Revenue from the sale of radiochemical products for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $583,541, compared to $613,580 for the same period in 2017.  This is a decrease of $30,039, or approximately 5%.  The decrease in the period-to-period revenue comparison is primarily the result of an interruption in the production operations of one of our major isotope suppliers and a reduction in customer orders for product used to support some clinical trials.  We were able to purchase material from an alternate supplier during this interruption, however, some customers reduced orders based on differences in the specifications of the product from the alternate supply.  Customers using radiochemicals in various clinical trials also typically start and stop orders based upon the particular phase of clinical trials for their various products.


Gross profit of radiochemical products for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $92,088, compared to $175,405, for the same period in 2017, and gross profit percentages were approximately 16% and 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cost of sales for radiochemical products increased to $491,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $438,175 for the same period in 2017.  This is an increase of $53,278, or approximately 12%, and was primarily the result of increased costs of raw material purchased from alternate vendors in this segment in the three-month comparison. Operating expense for this segment decreased to $51,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $57,250 for the same period in 2017. This decrease in operating expense of $5,682, or approximately 10%, is primarily due to decreased licensing costs, consulting costs and expense for leased equipment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  This segment reported net income of $40,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to net income of $118,155 for the same period in 2017.  The decrease in net income of $77,635, or approximately 66%, is the result of the decreased sales and increased cost of raw material, as discussed above.


Cobalt Products.  Revenue from the sale of cobalt products for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $327,778, compared to $219,423, for the same period in 2017. This represents an increase of $108,355, or approximately 49%. Our cobalt sealed source manufacturing is largely dependent on our ability to procure cobalt material from the DOE’s Advanced Test Reactor (ATR).  Although we have not been able to obtain cobalt from the ATR reactor since late 2013, we have been able to contract with another supplier for the purchase of cobalt material and during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we were able to resume manufacturing products for customers using this material.

 

In October 2014, we entered into a ten-year agreement with the DOE for the irradiation of cobalt targets.  It takes approximately two to three years to irradiate the cobalt targets to the desired level of activity and we anticipate having high specific activity cobalt available to our customers beginning in late 2018 and every year thereafter through at least 2024.  We are also purchasing some bulk cobalt from another supplier which will help supplement cobalt produced in the ATR and should further increase our ability to manufacture products within this segment.


As of March 31, 2018, we continued to hold many in-progress old design cobalt targets at the ATR. We believe that the older design targets we hold at the ATR and that we report as inventory, hold significant but varying market values in excess of their current carrying values and we concluded that no impairment existed at that time.  We will periodically continue to review the residual value of this cobalt material for potential impairment and make adjustments as deemed appropriate.


Gross profit for cobalt products for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $247,264, compared to $175,137 for the same period in 2017. This is an increase of $72,127, or approximately 41% and is primarily attributable to our increase in product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Our gross profit percentages were approximately 75% and 80% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Operating expense in this segment increased to $62,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from $55,076 for the same period in 2017. This is an increase of $7,396, which was largely due to wage expense attributable to this segment. Our net income for cobalt products was $184,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to a net income of $120,061 for the same period in 2017. The increase in net income of $64,731, or approximately 54%, was attributable to the increased sales of cobalt products during the quarter.

Nuclear Medicine Standards.  Revenue from nuclear medicine products for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,002,113 compared to $808,406 for the same period in 2017. This represents an increase in revenue of $193,707, or approximately 24%.  As discussed above, due to a change in the member ownership of RadQual, beginning in 2017, we began reporting our investment in RadQual on a consolidated basis. Therefore, revenue in this segment includes all sales of RadQual and sales of TI Services, a 50/50 joint venture that we formed with RadQual in December 2010, to distribute products and services for nuclear medicine, nuclear cardiology, and PET imaging. All intercompany sales for the consolidated period have been eliminated.


We anticipate that our sales through RadQual will remain strong and that, because of the new RadQual member ownership, we will have significant future opportunities to work on product development and customer service improvements. Additionally, we will continue to work with TI Services on marketing strategies to boost sales of various nuclear medicine and pharmacy products through TI Services.


Cost of sales for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $473,051, as compared to $496,541 for the same period in 2017. The decrease in cost of sales in the period-to-period comparison of $23,490, or approximately 5%, is due to a decrease in cost of sales reported by TI Services as well as cost of sales eliminated as a result of consolidated reporting for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, with no similar elimination for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.  Gross profit for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $529,062 compared to $311,864 for the same period in 2017.  This is an increase in gross profit of $217,198, or approximately 78%. The increase in gross profit in the period-to-period comparison is the result of the increased revenue and the decrease reported in total cost of sales in the period-to-period comparison.


Operating expense for this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased to $304,462, from $127,893 for the same period in 2017. This is an increase of $176,569, or approximately 138%, and includes consolidated net operating expense reported for RadQual of $123,852 and non-controlling member interest expense of $64,363, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, whereas there was no consolidated operating expense recorded for RadQual for the same period in 2017. Net income for this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $223,942, compared to $183,972 for the same period in 2017.  This is an increase in net income of $39,970, or approximately 22% and is the result of the increased gross profit reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.


Radiological Services.  Revenue from all radiological services for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $887,594, compared to $192,799 for the same period in 2017, an increase of $694,795 or approximately 360%. The majority of our revenue in this segment is generated by the performance of activities in connection with the OSRP and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the increase in the revenue comparison is the result of work performed by us for these agencies. These contracts are historically awarded sporadically over time and thus will continue to create fluctuations in the period-to-period comparisons in radiological services revenue.


As mentioned above, the majority of our radiological services revenue is generated by the performance of activities in connection with the DOE and IAEA which are awarded on a periodic basis. These activities include services to support recovery of disused sources and installation or removal of certain devices.  Based on the number of orphan sources identified both in the U.S. and internationally that will need to be recovered and disposed of, we expect this source removal and installation work to continue at least through 2018. We have secured several new contracts with the OSRP that will be completed during the upcoming months and we expect that there will be additional OSRP and IAEA work forthcoming.


Gross profit for this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $490,203, compared to $147,833 for the same period in 2017.  The increase in gross profit of $342,370, or approximately 232%, is the result of the increased services contracts completed and reported in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  Operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $88,191, as compared to $56,917 for the same period in 2017. This increase of $31,274, or approximately 55%, was the result of increased indirect wage expense and increased repair and maintenance expense recorded for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.


Fluorine Products.  There was no revenue to report from the fluorine products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018, or for the same period in 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $31,299 of expense related to items in support of future planning and design for the proposed de-conversion facility, as compared to $84,878 for the same three-month period in 2017. The decrease of $53,579, or approximately 63% is the result of decreased interest expense and decreased consulting costs recorded in the period-to-period comparison.

We established the Fluorine Products segment in 2004 to support production and sale of the gases produced using our Fluorine Extraction Process (FEP). Our FEP patents offer a unique opportunity to provide certain high-purity fluoride compounds while also offering a “for fee” de-conversion service to the uranium enrichment industry. From 2004 to 2012, we used a pilot facility to develop production processes for various high-purity products and to test methods of scaling up the size of FEP production in support of the planned de-conversion facility in Lea County, New Mexico.  In 2012, we completed our testing of individual components and analytical processes and in 2013 we closed the pilot plant facility. Also, in 2013, we made the decision to place continued formal design work on the proposed de-conversion facility on hold until we are able to secure additional de-conversion services contracts. Until such time that work resumes on the project we will limit our expenditures to essential items such as maintenance of the NRC license, land use agreements, communication with our prospective FEP product customers, and interface with the State of New Mexico and Lea County officials.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


On March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $356,432 as compared to $409,338 at December 31, 2017.  This is a decrease of $52,906.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $127,828, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $331,125. The increase in cash provided by/used in operating activities in the period-to-period comparison is the primarily due to the increased reported net income, net of non-controlling interest, of $34,404.


Inventories at March 31, 2018 totaled $2,426,956, and inventories at December 31, 2017 totaled $1,951,513.  A significant amount of our inventory consists of in-process raw material held at the ATR located outside of Idaho Falls, Idaho.  At March 31, 2018, our raw material inventory accounted for approximately 93% of our work in process inventory. At December 31, 2017, our raw material inventory accounted for approximately 92% of our work in process inventory.  We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our raw materials to determine their future market value to the Company.  As of March 31, 2018, we determined that no impairment of this raw material inventory was necessary.


Cash used in investing activities was $180,448 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and cash used in investing activities was $2,399 for the same period in 2017. Cash used to purchase equipment was approximately $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to approximately $4,000 for the same period in 2017. We reported an increase in restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2018, in the amount of $160,740, as a result of increasing the amount of cash held as collateral in support of our decommissioning funding plan and, as a result of consolidated reporting, we reported $387,467 of restricted cash due to former members of RadQual.


Financing activities used cash of $286, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2017 was $2,868,259. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received cash proceeds of $2,860,000 from the issuance of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (Series C Preferred Stock) and Class M Warrants in a private placement transaction whereas we reported no similar proceeds during the same period in 2018. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan we received $1,527 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock, as compared to $9,954 for the same period in 2017.


In February 2017, we entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including two of the Company’s directors, for the sale of (i) an aggregate of 3,433 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) Class M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (Class M Warrants), for gross proceeds of $3,433,000. The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 6% per annum, payable annually on February 17th of each year, commencing on February 17, 2018.  The Series C Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment.  At any time after February 17, 2019, if the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a period of 90 consecutive trading days is greater than $0.25 per share, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at the original purchase price per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, payable in shares of common stock.  All outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemed by the Company on February 17, 2022 at the original purchase price per share, payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the holder. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights, except as required by law and in connection with certain events as set forth in the Statement of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Class M Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant, and have a term of five years.


As a part of the above offering, two holders of the Company’s 8% Convertible Notes (the Notes) converted principal plus accrued interest in the amount of $205,000 into 205 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 205,000 Class M Warrants.  Additionally, two of the Company’s directors converted an outstanding promissory note and accrued interest in the amount of $368,000 into 368 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,840,000 Class M Warrants.

Additionally, on March 24, 2017, we entered into an Amendment to the 8% Convertible Notes (the Amendment), pursuant to which the Notes in July 2012 were amended to give noteholders certain additional rights.  Pursuant to the Amendment, the Notes were modified to provide each holder the right, at the holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1,000 per share prior to May 12, 2017.  Holders that elected to convert their Notes into Series C Preferred Stock received a Class N Warrant to purchase up to 3,750 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock received upon conversion of the Notes, with each Warrant having a five-year term, a cashless exercise feature, and an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock.  On May 12, 2017, the Company completed the retirement of $1,835,000 of the Notes in early cash redemptions, and $780,000 of the Notes were converted into an aggregate of 780 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Class N Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,925,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Class N Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant, and have a term of five years.


In February 2018, the Company paid its first dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock.  Dividends payable totaled $241,730.  Some holders of the Series C Preferred Stock elected to settle their dividend payments with shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash.  The Company issued 2,288,646 shares of common stock in lieu of a dividend payment of $205,980.  The remaining $35,750 of dividend payable was settled with cash.


Total decrease in cash for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, was $52,906 compared to a cash increase of $2,534,735 for the same period in 2017.


At August 10, 2017, we had a long-term investment of $1,436,843, which represented a 24.5% ownership in units of RadQual. The value of this asset was based upon the purchase price of those shares and the continued business performance of RadQual.  The investment was accounted for in accordance with the equity method. We originally purchased these shares with the intent of eventually acquiring the remaining shares of RadQual and thus improving the revenues and profit margin for the nuclear medicine business segment. As discussed above, pursuant to the purchase of the remaining 75.5% of the member units of RadQual by certain of the Company’s affiliates, our 24.5% investment in RadQual was determined to have a market value of $489,999 and as a result we recorded a loss of $946,844 and wrote the investment down to fair value.


We expect that cash from operations, cash raised via equity financing, and our current cash balance will be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.  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. There is no assurance that additional capital and financing will be available on acceptable terms to the Company or at all.


At March 31, 2018, there were 45,090,000 outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock.  Included in this number are 25,000,000 Class L Warrants issued September 30, 2014, with an exercise price of $0.06 per share and an expiration date of December 23, 2018; 17,165,000 Class M Warrants issued February 17, 2017, with an exercise price of $0.12 per share and an expiration date of February 17, 2022; and, 2,925,000 Class N Warrants issued May 12, 2017, with an exercise price of $0.10 per share and an expiration date of May 12, 2022.


Debt


On December 23, 2013, we entered into a promissory note agreement with our Chairman of the Board and one of our major shareholders (the Lenders), pursuant to which we borrowed $500,000 from the Lenders.  The loan bears interest at 6% per annum and was originally due September 30, 2014. At any time, the Lenders may elect to have any or all of the principal plus accrued interest under the promissory note repaid in the form of our common stock at a price per share determined based upon the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 days preceding the maturity or prepayment date.  In connection with the promissory note, each of the Lenders was issued 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.06 per share.  The warrants are immediately exercisable. Pursuant to an amendment to the promissory note on June 30, 2014, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017 and each lender was granted an additional 7,500,000 warrants, which are immediately exercisable. In December 2016, the note was further modified to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2022, with all remaining terms unchanged.  At March 31, 2018, the balance of the promissory note was $500,000 and accrued interest on the note was $129,234.  Interest expense recorded for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, was $7,500.


In March 2016, we entered into a note payable for the purchase of a vehicle.  The principal amount financed was $47,513.  The term of the note is six years and the note carries an interest rate of 6.66%.  Monthly payments are $805 and the note matures April 2022. The note is secured by the vehicle that was purchased with the note’s proceeds.

On April 9, 2018, we borrowed $120,000 from our Chief Executive Officer and its Chairman of the Board pursuant to a short-term promissory note.  The note accrues interest at 6% per year, which is payable upon maturity of the note.  The note is unsecured and matures on August 1, 2018.
