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, including RadQual, LLC (RadQual) and TI Services, LLC (TI Services). 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 is a global supplier of molecular imaging quality control and calibration devices, and is headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho. In August 2017, affiliates of INIS purchased 75.5% of RadQual and at the time INIS was named as one of the two managing members of RadQual. In July 2021, INIS purchased the remaining interest in RadQual and now owns 100% of RadQual. INIS, its subsidiaries RadQual and TI Services 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, generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product, cobalt teletherapy sources, and a varied selection of radiochemicals for medical research, and clinical applications. For 2022, the Company’s business consists of four business segments: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, and Fluorine Products. Due to minimal activity, the Radiological Services business segment was reorganized into the Company’s Nuclear Medicine Standards segment as of January 1, 2022. 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, depending upon estimated ship dates, classified under either current or long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These unearned revenues are being recognized as revenue in the periods during which the cobalt shipments take place. 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 accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP and include all operations and balances of INIS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. See Note 4 “RadQual Acquisition” for additional information regarding RadQual and TI Services. 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 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 or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future periods. 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, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The update simplifies accounting related to convertible debt instruments. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 including interim periods within those fiscal years. INIS is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

(2)       Current Developments and Liquidity

 

Business Condition – Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $414,328, net of non-controlling interest, and net cash used in operating activities of $957,163.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company continued its focus on its strongest long-standing core business segments which consist of its radiochemical products, cobalt products, and nuclear medicine standards, and in particular, the pursuit of new business opportunities within those segments.

 

Additionally, the Company holds a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) construction and operating license for the depleted uranium facility and a property agreement with, Lea County, New Mexico, where the plant is intended to be constructed. The NRC license for the de-conversion facility is a forty (40) year operating license and is the first commercial license of this type issued in the United States.  There are no other companies with a similar license application under review by the NRC. Therefore, the NRC license represents a significant competitive barrier, and the Company considers it a valuable asset.

(4)       RadQual Acquisition

 

On July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with RadQual and the sellers set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which included the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, former Chairman of the Board, and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of RadQual not then owned by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 million, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.11 per share (determined by the average trading price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets during the 60 trading day period immediately prior to June 2, 2021) (the RadQual Acquisition). The Company issued an aggregate of 40,176,236 shares of its common stock to the Sellers as consideration in the RadQual Acquisition. As a result of the RadQual Acquisition, RadQual became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the RadQual Acquisition, the Company owned 24.5% of the outstanding membership interests of RadQual. The RadQual Acquisition closed on July 8, 2021. As TI Services is a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and RadQual, TI Services also became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the RadQual Acquisition.

The Assets consisted primarily of manufacturing equipment and a sublease acquired by the Company in connection with the previously announced termination of the manufacturing and supply agreement with another company. The transaction resulted in a $1,797,978 gain on sale of assets.

 

(6)       Inventories

 

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the company held inventories of $879,210 and $924,775 respectfully.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

2015 Incentive Plan - In April 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the International Isotopes Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan (as amended, the 2015 Plan), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders in July 2015. The 2015 Plan was amended and restated in July 2018 to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan by an additional 20,000,000 shares. 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. At September 30, 2022, there were 29,526,134 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 equity awards.

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 recognizing compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock option compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period for the award.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted an employee 1,000,000 qualified stock options with an exercise price of $0.10 per share and another 25,000 qualified stock options with an exercise price of $0.08 per share to one of its employees. These options vest over a five-year period with the first vesting at the one-year anniversary of the grant and expiration at ten-year anniversary for all grants. On February 21, 2022, the Compensation Committee granted 3,000,000 qualified stock options to the Company’s executive officers and 4,000,000 non-qualified stock options to members of the Board. The exercise price for these options was $0.09 per share. 2,000,000 of the options granted to an executive officer vest one half immediately and one half at the one-year anniversary of the grant. The remaining executive officer and board member options vest one fourth immediately and one fourth each subsequent year. All these granted options expire at the ten-year anniversary of the grant. The options issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 have a fair value of $379,581 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 1.37% to 3.06%, expected dividend yield rate of 0%, expected volatility of 65.92% to 69.16% and an expected life between 5 and 7.5 years.

 

In March 2022, 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 the 2015 Plan, and, accordingly, there was not any income tax effect in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2022, 200,000 qualified stock options were exercised under a cashless exercise. The company withheld 162,163 shares to satisfy the exercise price and issued 37,837 shares of common stock. The options exercised were granted under the 2015 Plan, and, accordingly, there was not any income tax effect in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Pursuant to an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, the Company awarded 307,692 fully vested shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer in February 2022 under the 2015 Plan. The number of shares awarded was based on a $28,000 stock award using a price of $0.091 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 $27,692, which was determined by multiplying the number of shares awarded by the closing price of the common stock on February 28, 2021, which was $0.09 per share. The Company withheld 120,461 shares of common stock to satisfy payroll tax obligations in connection with this issuance. The net shares issued on February 28, 2022 totaled 187,231.

(9)       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Dependence on Third Parties

 

The production of High Specific Activity Cobalt is dependent upon the Department of Energy (DOE), and its prime operating contractor, which controls the Advanced Test Reactor (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.

 

Sales of our most predominant radiochemical products are dependent upon a few key suppliers. An interruption in production by any of these individual suppliers could have an immediate negative impact upon radiochemical sales until material could be purchased from alternate suppliers including obtaining regulatory approval to use material from alternative suppliers if necessary.

 

The Nuclear Medicine Reference and Calibration Standard products sold by the Company are dependent upon certain radioisotopes that are supplied to the Company through agreements with several suppliers. A loss of any of these suppliers could adversely affect operating results by causing a delay in production or a possible loss of sales.

 

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 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 held with Merrill Lynch in the amount of $834,170 at September 30, 2022.

 

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, the Company committed to construct a uranium de-conversion and Fluorine Extraction Process facility on the land.  In order to retain title to the property, the Company was 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 that extended the start of construction date to December 31, 2015, and the hiring milestone to December 31, 2016. Those dates were also not met. The Company has been in discussion with commercial companies possibly interested in purchasing rights to this project. Should those discussions come to fruition the Company plans to negotiate a second modification to the PPA agreement to further extend the commitment dates. If the Company is not successful in reaching an amendment to extend the performance dates in the PPA 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 the Company’s obligations under the agreements for permanent transfer of the title.

The Company’s revenue consists primarily of distribution of radiochemicals including sodium iodide I-131 drug product, calibration and reference standards manufactured for use in the nuclear medicine industry, and cobalt source manufacturing. 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 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and classified under current or long-term liabilities, depending upon estimated ship dates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported current unearned revenue of $908,843. For the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported current unearned revenue of $907,953. These unearned revenues will be recognized as revenue in the periods during which the cobalt shipments take place.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied.  As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable totaled $1,542,711 and $853,675, respectively.

 

(11)      Leases

 

The Company leases office and warehouse space under operating leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease, right-of-use assets, and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. The implicit rates with the Company’s operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgement. The company determines its incremental borrowing rate for each lease using its then-current borrowing rate. Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company establishes the number of renewal options periods used in determining the operating lease term based upon its assessment at the inception of the operating lease. The option to renew the lease may be automatic, at the option of the Company, or mutually agreed to between the landlord and the Company. Once the facility lease term has begun, the present value of the aggregate future minimum lease payments is recorded as a right-of-use asset. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(12)        Segment Information

 

The Company has four reportable segments which include: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, and Fluorine Products. The Company had five reportable segments in 2021 which also included Radiological Services. The Radiological Services business segment included field services, gemstone processing, and source disposal. As the Company is no longer engaged in field services and gemstone processing, which made up the substantial portion of activities of this segment, separate reporting of this segment has been discontinued. The Company continues to engage in source disposal activities and has begun reporting these activities under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment starting January 1, 2022. Additionally, the Company reclassified its reporting for 2021 to include all activities for the Radiological Services business segment under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

International Isotopes Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, including RadQual, LLC and TI Services, LLC (collectively, the Company, we, our, or us) manufacture a full range of nuclear medicine calibration and reference standards, manufacture a range of cobalt products, and distribute sodium iodide I-131 as a generic drug. We own 100% interest of RadQual, LLC (RadQual), a global supplier of molecular imaging quality control and calibration devices.

 

RADQUAL ACQUISTION

 

On July 8, 2021, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with RadQual and the sellers set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which included our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, former Chairman of the Board, and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively, the Sellers). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of RadQual not then-owned by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 million, payable in shares of our common stock valued at $0.11 per share (determined by the average trading price of our common stock on the OTC Markets during the 60 trading day period immediately prior to June 2, 2021) (the RadQual Acquisition). We issued an aggregate of 40,176,236 shares of its common stock to the Sellers as consideration in the RadQual Acquisition. Prior to the RadQual Acquisition, we owned approximately 24.5% of the outstanding membership interests of RadQual, and after acquiring all of the remaining membership interests of RadQual, RadQual became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The RadQual Acquisition closed on July 8, 2021.

 

Our business consists of the following four business segments in 2022 and consisted of five business segments in 2021:

 

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, SPECT and PET camera operational testing, and calibration of dose measurement equipment. Revenue from nuclear medicine products includes consolidated sales from TI Services, LLC (TI Services), a joint venture that we formed with RadQual in December 2010 to distribute our products. Our nuclear medicine standards products include a host of specially designed 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. Beginning January 1, 2022, this segment also includes miscellaneous source disposal activities that were previously reported as part of the Radiological Services segment.

 

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 into this market. The Company has a contract in place with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the production of high specific activity cobalt in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) in Idaho. This agreement will be in effect until October 2024.

 

17 

 

 

Radiochemical Products. Our Radiochemical Products segment includes production and distribution and FDA approved generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and carcinoma of the thyroid. We are the only U.S. Company distributing this generic drug product. This segment also includes distribution of certain other radiochemical products and contract manufacturing of radiopharmaceutical products for our customers.

 

Fluorine Products. We established the Fluorine Products segment in 2004 to support production and sale of the gases that we expected to produce 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. We continue to hold discussions with potential future customers seeking this type of service, however, 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 consisted 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. The Company has suspended all of its field service activities and has terminated most gemstone processing. Due to decreased activity in this segment, starting January 1, 2022, this segment was reorganized into our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment. Additionally, we reclassified our reporting for 2021 to include all activities for the Radiological Services business segment under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment.

 

COVID-19 AND COST INFLATION UPDATE

 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a reduction of sales within our nuclear medicine calibration standards segment and radiochemicals segment during 2021. There was no discernable impact from COVID-19 to our cobalt products business segment during the period. The decrease in sales for 2021 for our nuclear medicine calibration standards segment was the result of the temporary closure of many imaging clinics and suspension of elective or non-essential imaging procedures. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced some global shipping disruption that were partially attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in sales in our nuclear medicine calibration standards segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, is partially due to these shipping disruptions.

 

To-date we have not furloughed or terminated any employees as a result of the financial impact of COVID-19. We have only seen a limited impact in our raw material supply chain related to the COVID-19. From the beginning of 2022, we have experienced an increase in costs for many raw materials and production supplies due to recent cost inflation which have led to increases to costs of goods sold and operating expenses. Although, all segments have been impacted from these cost increases, our nuclear medicine calibration standards segment has been impacted the most. We have seen these increased costs stabilize somewhat; and we are working on counteracting these cost increases with an increase to our produce prices. We believe we can increase our sales prices enough to overcome these cost increases while continuing to maintain and grow our sales.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

 

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,789,273 as compared to $2,617,514 for the same period in 2021, an overall increase of $171,759, or approximately 7%. This increase in revenue was the result of increased revenue in our Radiochemical Products, Cobalt Products, and Nuclear Medicine Standards segments, as discussed in detail below.

 

The following table presents a period-to-period comparison of total revenue by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Cost of sales increased to $1,305,730 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $1,006,334 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $299,396, or approximately 30%. The increase in cost of sales in the three-month comparison was primarily due to the increased sales activity in all our business segments along with increases in the cost of raw materials and supplies driven by recent cost inflation, as discussed in detail below. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,483,543, compared to $1,611,180 for the same period in 2021. This represents a decrease in gross profit of $127,637, or approximately 8%. Our Gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 53%, compared to 62% for the same period in 2021. This decrease in gross profit percentage is a result of increased cost in raw material and supplies driven by recent cost inflation, as discussed in detail below.

Operating expense increased approximately 22% to $1,957,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $1,609,758 for the same period in 2021. This increase of $347,338, is due to an increase of 23% in Salaries and Contract Labor expense, and increase of 14% in General, Administrative, and Consulting expenses, and a 101% increase in Research and Development costs. The increase in Salaries and Contract Labor costs is a result of an increased number of employees and increases to labor rates incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in General, Administrative, and Consulting expenses is due to periodic waste disposal costs that occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The 101% increase in Research and Development cost is due to increased activity in product development during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Other income was $49,151 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $54,083 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $4,932, or approximately 9%. In September 2022, we experienced a fraudulent transactions incident. The fraudulent charges totaled approximately $85,000. These charges were recorded as “other expense”. Investigations by our bank and by law enforcement are ongoing. There have been no indications of any involvement within our Company. As we expected to recoup all fraudulent changes from our bank, for the three months ending September 30, 2022, we recognized "other income" to offset the fraudulent charges recorded under “other expense”. In October and November 2022, we recovered all of the fraudulent charges from our bank.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $147,116, compared to $191,544 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $44,428, or approximately 23%. Interest expense includes dividends accrued on our Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock). As discussed below, we issued Series C Preferred Stock in February 2017 and May 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we accrued dividends payable of $60,945, which have been recorded as interest expense. Additionally, non-cash interest expense in the amount of $26,548 for the

accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of the 2019 Promissory Note (as defined below) and $37,518 for the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the 2019 Promissory Note were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7 “Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for additional information about our indebtedness and the associated interest expense.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $568,669, compared to net loss of $136,869, for the same period in 2021. This is an increase in loss of $431,800 is largely the result of the increase in Cost of Sales in our Cobalt products and Nuclear Medicine Standards segments to the increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Radiochemical Products. Revenue from the sale of Radiochemical Products for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,298,667, compared to $1,210,615 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $88,052, or approximately 7% during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is the result of continued increased sales of our generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product. We expect continued sales growth for our Radiochemical products going forward.

 

Cost of sales for Radiochemical Products increased to $498,210 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $459,344 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $38,866, or approximately 8%, and was the result of increased sales of product. Gross profit of radiochemical products for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $800,457, compared to $751,271, for the same period in 2021. Gross profit percentage was approximately 62% for the three months ended September 30 for both 2022 and 2021. Operating expense for this segment decreased to $346,234 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $380,684 for the same period in 2021. This decrease in operating expense of $34,450, or approximately 10%, was primarily due to decreased costs for production supplies, and depreciation expense. This segment reported net income of $454,223 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net income of $370,586 for the same period in 2021. The increase in net income of $83,637 is the result of the increase in revenue.

 

Cobalt Products. Revenue from the sale of Cobalt Products for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $424,731, compared to $408,808, for the same period in 2021. This represents an increase of $15,923, or approximately 4%. The increase was primarily due to the timing of cobalt sealed source manufacturing sales. Large value sales of high activity cobalt sources occur at somewhat random times throughout the year. Frequently the timing of these sales can have a significant impact on period over period comparisons.

 

In October 2014, we entered into a ten-year agreement with the DOE for the irradiation of cobalt targets. It takes many years to irradiate these cobalt targets to the desired level of activity and we anticipated having high specific activity cobalt available for our customers in 2020. However, the material had lower than expected activity and further receipt of material was delayed until about June 2021. At that point the material still had lower than expected activity, and we reached an agreement with the DOE to purchase the material at a discounted rate. Periodically we have been able to acquire recycled material that can be used to manufacture sealed sources for customers, and in some instances, our customers have supplied their own cobalt material for source fabrication. We also have access to additional low specific activity material produced by the DOE and expect to obtain, process, and sell additional cobalt products as a result during the remainder of 2022.

 

We have entered into cobalt purchase agreements with several customers. Pursuant to these contracts, we will supply some bulk cobalt-60 and provide sealed source manufacturing for the customers. The terms of these cobalt contracts require some advance progress payments from each customer. The funding received under these contracts has been recorded as unearned revenue under short- and long-term liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $10,000 and $1,500, respectively when we fulfilled contract performance objectives by supplying sealed sources manufactured with cobalt from the ATR or alternate suppliers.

 

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $232,679, as compared to $148,855, for the same period in 2021. Gross profit for cobalt products for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $192,052 compared to $259,953 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $67,901, or approximately 26% and is attributable to an increased labor and material cost in source manufacturing for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Our gross profit percentages were approximately 45% and 64% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to increased costs of raw material and labor used in the manufacture of sealed sources. Operating expense in this segment increased to $326,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $93,145 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $232,951, or approximately 250%. This increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is due to waste disposal expense of approximately $215,000. Our manufacturing processes generate some radioactive waste. The estimated costs of storage and disposal of these materials have been included in the manufacturing and sales price of our products. However, actual disposal costs are subject to change at the discretion of the disposal site and are ultimately applied at the time of disposal. Our net loss for Cobalt Products was $134,044 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to a net income of $166,808 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in income of $300,852, or approximately 180%, was attributable to an increased cost of materials from cobalt sealed source manufacturing due to recent cost inflation and due to increased operating expenses for waste disposal.

Nuclear Medicine Standards. Revenue from Nuclear Medicine Standards for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $1,065,875, compared to $990,328 for the same period in 2021. This represents an increase in revenue of $75,547, or approximately 8%.

 

Cost of sales for our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $574,841, as compared to $398,135 for the same period in 2021. The increase in cost of sales in the period-to-period comparison of $176,706, or 44%, was due to increased sales activity and increased costs for supplies and raw materials during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Gross profit for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $491,034 compared to $592,193 for the same period in 2021, and gross profit percentages were approximately 46% and 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is a decrease in gross profit of $101,159, or approximately 17%. The decrease in gross profit in the period-to-period comparison is primarily the result of increased costs for supplies and raw materials attributable to cost inflation. We expect these increased costs to continue going forward, and we are adjusting our sales prices accordingly.

 

Operating expense for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to $425,863, from $459,008 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of 33,145, or approximately 7%, and is the result of decreased marketing and consulting fees in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Operating expenses includes non-controlling member interest expense attributable to RadQual and TI Services of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared with $4,275 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In July 2021, we purchased the remaining 75.5% interest in RadQual; this resulted in RadQual and TI Services becoming our fully owned subsidiaries. Net income for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $65,171, compared to net income $133,185 for the same period in 2021. This decrease in net income of $68,014, or approximately 51% and is primarily the result of increased costs for supplies and raw materials attributable to cost inflation.

 

Radiological Services. Starting in 2022, due to drastically decreased activity in the segment, all remaining activities in our Radiological Services is reported in our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment.

 

In January 2020, we notified our gemstone processing customer that the service contract with them was being terminated because the volume of gemstones sent for processing did not meet contract minimums. The termination activities and wrap up of this service substantially occurred in 2021 and the Company saw a steady decline in revenue from this service as production was wrapped up. In the first half of 2022, we converted the spaces in the facility that were previously used to perform this contract work into expanded Nuclear Medicine new product manufacturing. The loss in revenue expected from termination of the gemstone processing agreement is expected to be more than compensated for by the expansion of new nuclear medicine source products.

 

Revenue from field service work for the DOE had accounted for the majority of revenue in this segment. However, Radiological Field Services work was terminated in 2020 and we did not generate any Radiological Field Services revenue in 2021 or 2022. We have removed this type of activity from our NRC license and do not expect to perform this in future years.

 

We continue to engage in source disposal activities and have begun reporting these activities under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment starting January 1, 2022. Additionally, we reclassified our reporting for 2021 to include all activities for the Radiological Services business segment under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment.

 

Fluorine Products. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had no revenue for our Fluorine Products segment as compared to $7,763 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenues were related to an agreement to provide engineering and technical assistance services related to our fluorine products intellectual property. The agreement concluded in 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $37,204 of expense related to items in support of future planning and design for the proposed de-conversion facility, as compared to $34,348 for the same three-month period in 2021. This is an increase of 8% in the period-to-period comparison and is the result of increased professional services costs related to exploring options for possible renewal of work on this project.

 

We established the Fluorine Products segment in 2004 to support production and sale of the gases produced using our FEP. The project has been placed on hold since 2013 and we will continue to 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 until such time that we decide to resume the project.

Other income was $2,077,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $229,559 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $1,848,160, or approximately 805%, primarily due to a $1,797,978 gain on sale of assets to Pharmalogic Idaho, LLC. In February 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Pharmalogic Idaho, LLC, pursuant to which we sold certain assets for $4,000,000 in cash. The assets consisted primarily of manufacturing equipment and a sublease acquired by the Company in connection with the previously announced termination of the manufacturing and supply agreement with another company.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $465,260, compared to $601,291 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $136,031, or approximately 23%. Interest expense includes dividends accrued on our Series C Preferred Stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we accrued dividends payable of $182,835 which have been recorded as interest expense. Additionally, non-cash interest expense in the amount of $79,644 for the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of the 2019 Promissory Note and $112,555 for the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the 2019 Promissory Note were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7 “Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for additional information about our indebtedness and the associated interest expense.

 

Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $414,328, compared to net loss of $919,408, for the same period in 2021. This is an increase in income of $1,333,736 is largely the result of the approximate $1.8 million gain on sale of assets. Additionally, the increase in income is the result of the increase in revenue in our Radiochemical Products segment offset by the increase in operating expense from salaries and contract labor and expenses from research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Radiochemical Products. Revenue from the sale of Radiochemical Products for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was $4,304,629 compared to $3,100,001 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $1,204,628, or approximately 39%. The increase is the result of increased sales to most of our customers and further enhanced by a reduction in sales by our competitor in the first quarter of 2022. The reduction in sales by our competitor resulted from a short-term shutdown of a European reactor facility that normally supplied their sodium iodide I-131 during the first quarter of 2022. The increase is also the result of increased sales of our new generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product. We expect continued sales growth for our Radiochemical Products going forward.

 

Cost of sales was $1,567,097 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and $1,251,953 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $315,144, or approximately 25%. This increase is primarily the result increased sales for the period.

 

Gross profit percentages for our Radiochemical Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately 64% and 60%, respectively. This increased gross profit percentage is a result of increased sales of our new generic sodium iodine I-131 drug product, which carries a higher gross margin, and continued improvements of utilization of raw materials. Operating expense for this segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was $1,104,994, compared to $1,068,580 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $36,414, or approximately 3%, and is primarily due to increased costs for labor costs, production supplies, advertising expense, and professional services. As discussed above, other income from the Radiochemical Products segment included a $1,797,978 gain on sale of manufacturing equipment and a sublease acquired by the Company in connection with the previously announced termination of the manufacturing and supply agreement with another company. Net income for this segment increased to $3,430,516 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, from $779,468 for the same period in 2021. This increase of $2,651,048, or approximately 340%, is the result of the gain on sale of assets and the 39% increase in revenue.

 

Cobalt Products. Revenues from the sale of Cobalt Products for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 were $695,783, compared to $1,104,176 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $408,393, or approximately 37%, and is the result of decreased cobalt sealed source manufacturing and cobalt recycling. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of cobalt sealed source manufacturing sales. Large value sales of high activity cobalt sources occur at somewhat random times throughout the year. Frequently the timing of these sales can have a significant impact on period over period comparisons.

 

During 2015, we entered into cobalt-60 supply agreements with several customers. The terms of the agreements required pre-payments to secure cobalt material in future years. Those prepayments were recorded as unearned revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $315,204, as compared to $456,056, for the same period in 2021. Gross profit for cobalt products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $380,579 compared to $648,120 for the same period in 2021. This is a decrease of $267,541, or 41%. Our gross profit percentages were approximately 55% and 59% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating expense in this segment increased to $570,030 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $302,828 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $267,202, or approximately 88% is mainly the result of approximately $215,000 of waste disposal expenses in 2022 as compared to no such expense in 2021. Additionally, increased labor expenses and production supply costs contributed to the increase in operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Our net loss for Cobalt Products was $189,451 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to a net income of $345,292 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income of $534,743 or approximately 155%, was attributable to the decreased cobalt sealed source manufacturing sales and increased operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Nuclear Medicine Standards. Revenue from Nuclear Medicine Standards for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was $3,031,110 compared to $3,135,970 for the same period in 2021. This represents a decrease in revenue attributable to this segment of $104,860, or approximately 3%. The decrease in sales for the period ended September 30, 2022 was due partly to continued slow demand of nuclear medicine imaging products resulting from the continued adverse impact of COVID-19 upon our customers and clinics during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Gross profit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was $1,442,705, as compared to $1,834,323 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $391,618, or approximately 21%. Operating expense for this segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased to $1,365,962, from $1,327,733 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of $38,229 or approximately 3% and is the result of increased waste disposal costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Operating expenses include consolidated non-controlling member interest expense of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $116,816, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net income for this segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, decreased to $76,743, approximately 85%, from $506,590 for the same nine-month period in 2021. This decrease is due to increased costs for supplies and raw materials attributable to cost inflation.

 

Radiological Services. Starting in 2022, due to drastically decreased activity in the segment, all remaining activities in our Radiological Services is reported in our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment.

 

In January 2020, we notified our gemstone processing customer that the service contract with them was being terminated because the volume of gemstones sent for processing did not meet contract minimums. The termination activities and wrap up of this service substantially occurred in 2021 and the Company saw a steady decline in revenue from this service as production was wrapped up. In the first half of 2022, we have converted the spaces in the facility that had been used to perform this contract work into expanded Nuclear Medicine new product manufacturing. The loss in revenue expected from termination of the gemstone processing agreement is expected to be more than compensated for by the expansion of new nuclear medicine source products.

 

Revenue from field service work for the DOE had accounted for the majority of revenue in this segment. However, Radiological Field Services did not generate any Radiological Services segment sales in 2022 or 2021. This was the result the removal of this activity from our NRC license.

 

Fluorine Products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had no revenue related to Fluorine Products compared to $29,775, for the same period in 2021. These revenues were related to an agreement to provide engineering and technical assistance services related to our fluorine products intellectual property. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $111,377 of expenses related to items in support of future planning and design for the proposed de-conversion facility, as compared to $121,500 for the same nine-month period in 2021. This is a decrease of 8% 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”). We will continue to 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

 

At September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,989,236 as compared to $474,851 at December 31, 2021. This is an increase of $2,514,385 or approximately 530%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $957,163 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $64,294. The increase in cash used in operating activities was a result of increased accounts receivable due to increased revenue. The increase in cash and cash equivalents at period end in the period-to-period comparison is the result of proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment.

 

Inventories at September 30, 2022 totaled $879,210, and inventories at December 31, 2021 totaled $924,775. Our inventory consists of work in process material for our Radiochemical Products, Cobalt Products, and Nuclear Medicine Products segments.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $12,305 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and $61,800 for exercise of warrants, as compared to $13,527 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the same period in 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, principal payments on notes payable were $524,532, as compared to $390,571 for the same period in 2021. This increase in principal payments was largely due to payment in full of the 2021 Promissory Note as described below.

 

In February 2022, the Company paid its third annual dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock. Dividends paid totaled $243,780. 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 2,271,980 shares of common stock in lieu of a dividend payment of $204,480. The remaining $39,300 of dividend payable was settled with cash.

 

Total increase in cash for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was $2,517,803 compared to a cash decrease of $167,430 for the same period in 2021.

 

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 preferred stock shareholders. There is no assurance that additional capital and financing will be available on acceptable terms to the Company or at all.

 

At September 30, 2022, there were no outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock.
