INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

 

 

(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, including RadQual, LLC (RadQual) and TI Services, LLC (TI Services). RadQual is a global supplier of molecular imaging quality control and calibration devices, and is based at INIS headquarters in Idaho Falls, Idaho. TI Services is headquartered in Boardman, Ohio and distributes products for nuclear medicine, nuclear cardiology, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. INIS, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries 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 2023, the Company’s business consists of four business segments: Nuclear Medicine Standards, Cobalt Products, Radiochemical Products, and Fluorine Products. 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 including RadQual and TI Services. See Note 4 “Investment and Business Consolidation” for additional information. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2023, as amended on May 3, 2023.

 

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. The Company 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, 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $759,961 and net cash provided by operating activities of $697,645. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $414,328 and net cash used in operating activities of  $957,163.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 has begun to focus on the transfer and start-up of its medical device segment after the purchase of assets from AMICI as discussed in more detail below.

 

The Company holds a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) construction and operating license for the depleted uranium facility in, as well as the 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.

 

The Company expects that cash from operations, 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 commercial relationships, technological developments, market factors, available credit, and management of redeemable convertible preferred stock. There is no assurance that additional capital and financing will be available on acceptable terms to the Company or at all.

(4)       Investment and Business Consolidation

 

In 2021, the Company acquired all of the remaining membership interests of RadQual, making RadQual a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As TI Services is a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and RadQual, TI Services is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In June 2023, the Company executed an agreement to buy medical devices and related assets and intellectual property rights from AMICI, Inc. The Company has been working on transfers of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510K device registrations and startup of manufacturing. For the purposes of this report, the assets are included as part of our Nuclear Medicine Products segment. The Company plans for the assets to later be part of a fifth division of the Company, “Medical Devices” that is planned to start during 2024.

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, 2023, there were 19,067,546 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. 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 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.

(7)       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Dependence on Third Parties

 

The production of High Specific Activity Cobalt is dependent upon the U.S. 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, any 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 $869,339.

 

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 discussions 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 has not taken place 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, 2023, the Company reported current unearned revenue of $1,004,867. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported current unearned revenue of $879,365. These unearned revenues will be recognized as revenue in the periods during which the cobalt shipments take place.

 

Contract Balances

 

The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied.  As of  September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable totaled $1,382,701 and $1,596,886, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not incur material impairment losses with respect to its receivables.

 

 

(9)      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.

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. As TI Services, LLC is a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and RadQual, TI Services, LLC is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Our business consists of the following four business segments:

 

Radiochemical Products. Our Radiochemical Products segment includes production and distribution of our 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.

 

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.

 

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. 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.

 

Fluorine Products. We established the Fluorine Products segment in 2004 in conjunction with the development and 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 for 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. We have been in discussions with commercial companies possibly interested in purchasing rights to this project. In the meantime, we expect 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.

 

New Business Segment:

 

Medical Devices. While we have not yet commercialized any medical devices, we have invested in this segment throughout 2023 and anticipate additional investments for the remainder of 2023 with commercialization of products starting in 2024. In June 2023, we acquired several medical devices with related assets and intellectual property rights from AMICI, Inc. We have been working on FDA 510k transfers, and start-up of manufacturing. For this report, these assets are included in our Nuclear Medicine Standards business segment. We anticipate the assets will be part of a fifth business segment of the Company called “Medical Devices” that we plan to start during 2024.

 

 

 

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating expense increased approximately 7% to $2,102,128 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $1,957,096 for the same period in 2022. This increase of $145,032 is due to a 44% increase in Salaries and Contract Labor Expenses offset by a 16% decrease in General, Administrative, and Consulting Expenses and a 32% decrease in Research and Development costs. The increase in Salaries and Contract Labor Expenses is primarily due to increased costs of salaries and benefits for employees and additional officer compensation. The decrease in General, Administrative, and Consulting Expenses is primarily the result of periodic waste disposal costs that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 with no comparable expense in the same period in 2023. The decrease in Research and Development cost is due to decreased expenses related to product development during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Other income was $22,873 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $49,151 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease of $26,278, or approximately 53%, was due to a decrease in miscellaneous income.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $82,346, compared to $147,116 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease of $64,770, or approximately 44%. The decrease in interest expense is due to decreased accretion of beneficial conversion feature and discount and decreased interest due for outstanding debt. Interest expense includes dividends accrued on our 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, 2023 and 2022, we accrued dividends payable of $60,945 in both periods, which have been recorded as interest expense. 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, 2023, was $348,605 compared to net loss of $568,669 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease in net loss of $220,064 that is largely the result of the increase in revenue in our radiochemical products and increased gross profit percentages for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

 

Radiochemical Products. Revenue from the sale of radiochemical products for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,534,898, compared to $1,298,667 for the same period in 2022.

Cost of sales for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $470,130, as compared to $574,841 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in cost of sales in the period-to-period comparison of $104,711, or 18%, was due to improved gross profit percentages during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $584,550 compared to $491,034 for the same period in 2022, and gross profit percentages were approximately 55% and 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This is an increase in gross profit of $93,516, or approximately 19%.

 

Operating expense for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $509,834, from $425,863 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase of $83,971, or approximately 20%, and is the result of increased labor costs. Net income for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $74,716, compared to a net loss of $65,171 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase in net income of $9,545, or approximately 15% and is the result of increased gross profit.

 

Fluorine Products. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had no revenue for our fluorine products segment.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $27,870 of expense related to items in support of future planning and design for the proposed de-conversion facility, as compared to $37,204 for the same three-month period in 2022. The decrease in expenses is due to decreased professional costs during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

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.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $9,120,256 as compared to $8,031,522 for the same period in 2022, an overall increase of $1,088,734, or approximately 14%. This increase in revenue was the result of increased revenue in all business segments as discussed in more detail below.

The increase in cost of sales in the nine-month comparison was primarily due to the increased sales activity in all our business segments, as discussed in detail below. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $5,415,317, compared to $4,560,816 for the same period in 2022.

Operating expense increased approximately 6% to $6,100,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from $5,762,521 for the same period in 2022. This increase of $338,288 is primarily due to an approximate 21% increase in Salaries and Contract Labor Expenses partially offset by an 8% decrease in General, Administrative and Consulting Expenses and 8% increase in Research and Development costs. The increase in Salaries and Contract Labor Expenses is primarily the result of increased costs of salaries and benefits for employees and additional officer compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in General, Administrative, and Consulting Expenses is primarily the result of periodic waste disposal costs that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 with no comparable expense in 2023. The decrease in Research and Development cost is due to decreased expenses related to product development during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Other income was $123,803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2,077,719 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease of $1,953,916, or approximately 94%, primarily due to a $1,797,978 gain on sale of assets to Pharmalogic Idaho, LLC in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In February 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Pharmalogic Idaho, LLC, pursuant to which we sold certain assets for $4.0 million in cash. The sold 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, 2023 was $247,542, compared to $465,260 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease of $217,718, or approximately 47%. The decrease in interest expense is due to decreased accretion of beneficial conversion feature and discount and decreased interest due for outstanding debt. Interest expense includes dividends accrued on our Series C Preferred Stock. As discussed below, we issued Series C Preferred Stock in February 2017 and May 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we accrued dividends payable of $183,585 and $182,835 respectively, which have been recorded as interest expense. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $759,961, compared to net income of $414,328, for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease in net income of $1,174,289 that is largely the result of the approximate $1.8 million gain on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease in gain on sale of assets is partially offset by a decrease of $666,213 in operating loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

 

 

Radiochemical Products. Revenue from the sale of radiochemical products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $5,033,337, compared to $4,304,629 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase of $728,708, or approximately 17%. 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, primarily from the sale of our generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product.

 

Gross profit of radiochemical products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $3,269,100, compared to $2,737,532, for the same period in 2022, and gross profit percentages were approximately 65% and 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of sales for radiochemical products increased to $1,764,237 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,567,097 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase of $197,140, or approximately 13%, and was the result of increased sales of product. Operating expense for this segment decreased to $1,097,120 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1,104,994 for the same period in 2022. This decrease in operating expense of $7,874, or approximately 1%, was partially due to decreased costs for professional services within the segment. As discussed above, other income from the radiochemical products segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 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. This segment reported net income of $2,171,980 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net income of $3,430,516 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net income of $1,258,536 is the result of the difference in the gain on sale of assets but somewhat offset by the increases in revenue and gross profit.

 

Cobalt Products. Revenue from the sale of cobalt products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $935,544, compared to $695,783, for the same period in 2022. This represents an increase of $239,761, or approximately 34%. The increase was primarily due to the timing of cobalt sealed source manufacturing sales. Large value sales of high activity cobalt sources occur at various times throughout the year. Frequently the timing of these sales can have a significant impact on period comparisons.

 

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $456,280, as compared to $315,204, for the same period in 2022. Gross profit for cobalt products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $479,264 compared to $380,579 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase of $98,685, or approximately 26% and is attributable to increased source manufacturing for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Operating expenses in this segment decreased to $361,156 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from $570,030 for the same period in 2022. This is a decrease of $208,874, or approximately 37%. This decrease in operating expenses is due to periodic waste disposal costs of approximately $215,000 that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 with no comparable expense in 2023. Our net income for cobalt products was $118,108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $189,451 for the same period in 2022. The increase in net income of $307,559, or approximately 162%, was attributable to the increased activity in cobalt sealed source manufacturing and decreased operating expenses. 

 

Nuclear Medicine Standards. Revenue from nuclear medicine products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $3,151,375, compared to $3,031,110 for the same period in 2022. This represents an increase in revenue of $120,265, or approximately 4%.

 

Cost of sales for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $1,484,422, as compared to $1,588,405 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in cost of sales in the period-to-period comparison of $103,983 or approximately 7%. Gross profit for our nuclear medicine standards segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,666,953 compared to $1,442,705 for the same period in 2022, and gross profit percentages were approximately 53% and 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This is an increase in gross profit of $224,248, or approximately 16%.

 

Operating expense for this segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $1,453,724, from $1,365,962 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase of $87,762 or approximately 6% primarily due to increased cost of labor. Net income for this segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $213,229, compared to $76,743 for the same period in 2022. This is an increase in net income of $136,486, or approximately 178% and is the direct result of increased revenue and gross profit percentage in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 partially offset by increased operating expenses.

 

Fluorine Products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no revenue for our fluorine products segment.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $79,004 of expense related to items in support of future planning and design for the proposed de-conversion facility, as compared to $111,377 for the same nine-month period in 2022. The decrease in expenses is due to decreased professional costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,897,208 as compared to $2,375,817 at December 31, 2022. This is an increase of $521,391 or approximately 22%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $697,645 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $957,163. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was a result of cash from operations and the receipt of other current assets. The increase in cash and cash equivalents at period end in the period-to-period comparison is the result of cash provided by operating activities.

 

 

Inventories at September 30, 2023 totaled $740,803, and inventories at December 31, 2022 totaled $744,793. Our inventory consists of work in process material for our Radiochemical Products, Cobalt Products, and Nuclear Medicine Products segments.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $550,629 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and cash provided by investing activities was $3,931,725 for the same period in 2022. The cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was for the purchase of equipment. The cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was for the sale of assets for $4,000,000 partially offset by purchases of equipment.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $403,665 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2022 was $456,759. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash paid for interest was $159,926 and during the same nine-month period in 2022, cash paid for interest was $49,699. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received $7,127 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as compared to $12,305 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and $61,168 for exercise of warrants for the same period in 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, principal payments on notes payable were $50,792, as compared to $524,532 for the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of debt repayments in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

In February 2023, the Company paid its annual dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock. Dividends payable totaled $243,780 at that time. 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 2,266,500 shares of common stock in lieu of a dividend payment of $90,660. The remaining $153,120 of dividend payable was settled with cash.

 

Total increase in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $550,681 compared to a cash increase of $2,517,803 for the same period in 2022.

 

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 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.
