Overview
International Isotopes Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us" and "our") produces an FDA approved generic sodium iodideI-131 drug product, manufactures a wide range of nuclear medicine calibration and reference standards and provides radiochemicals for clinical research and life sciences. The Company also produces a variety of cobalt-60 products and supports clients contract manufacturing of radiopharmaceutical and radiochemical products. A more detailed description of each of these product lines and services along with a description of our business segments can be found in Item 1, "Business" within this Annual Report.
During 2022, we focused our efforts on achieving profitability in each of our core business segments and reached several significant goals. During 2022, we:
º Increased company revenues by 16%.
º Reached
in company history.
º Increased sales in the Radiochemical segment by 41% due to increases in
sales of our FDA approved generic sodium iodide
º Completed sale of unused assets for
million. 15
º Developed several new products for our Nuclear Medicine products segment
and expanded these products into Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
standards.
º Expanded sales of our nuclear medicine products through exercising our
management opportunity with
increased our international sales by utilizing the marketing and
distribution expertise of our wholly owned subsidiary TI Services; and
º Continued to pursue viable opportunities to obtain government or commercial
contracts for depleted uranium de-conversion services for our U.S. Nuclear
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 2020 and 2021. There was no discernable impact from COVID-19 to our cobalt products business segment during the same period. The decrease in sales for 2020 and 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. In 2022, our sales in most segments recovered and we saw very limited continued negative impact related to COVID-19. The sale of radiochemical products increased during the year 2022; however, we believe the increases in revenue for 2022 for nuclear medicine could have been greater in 2022 were it not for the lingering negative impact of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2022. To-date we have not furloughed or terminated any employees as a result of the financial impact of COVID-19. The Company has only seen a limited impact in our raw material supply chain related to the COVID-19, primarily some plastics which have been in strong demand for certain types of PPE. Alternative sources of raw materials have been obtained without any interruption to production. With the heightened concern about corporate liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes that it has adequate cash to support continuing operations.
Business Strategy and Core Philosophies
Broadly defined, our business strategy is to continue to build our reputation as a leader in the radiochemical, cobalt, and nuclear medicine product industries, and to maximizing the revenue potential of our generic sodium iodineI-131 product and nuclear medicine standards products. We also intend to continually seek ways to improve our customer service and expand our market share, with the ultimate goal of providing greater return to our shareholders. Specifically, we are continuously working with our customers to improve and develop new products to better serve the needs of the end user which, ultimately, we believe will boost product sales. A key part of our short-term and long-term business strategy is to develop and market additional generic drug products, similar to our sodium iodideI-131 product, and develop additional nuclear medicine standards products that will offer customers high quality, reliable, and affordable products as well as increase our revenues. In addition, we will manage cash reserves and pursue additional financial support that will be structured in such a way to support further expansion of our products and services to exploit additional market opportunities. Our core philosophy is to strive to provide high quality products and services as a profitable and environmentally conscious business, while offering excellent customer service and providing a safe and productive working environment for our employees. We operate in accordance with an ISO Quality Management System and in accordance with all current Good Manufacturing Practices under which we seek to maintain the highest level of quality and continuously improve our product
manufacturing processes. Results of Operations

Sales of radiochemical products accounted for approximately 54% in 2022 as compared to 44% of our total sales revenue in 2021. Sales in this segment increased by$1,770,723 , or approximately 41% to$6,045,767 in 2022 as compared to$4,275,044 in 2021. The increase is primarily the result of sales of our new generic sodium iodideI-131 drug product which was launched inMarch 2020 . We expect sales of our new product to continue to trend upward. InFebruary 2020 , we received approval of an ANDA to the FDA for a sodium iodide radiopharmaceutical product for use in treatment of hyperthyroidism and carcinoma of the thyroid. We began sales of this product inMarch 2020 , and these sales have had a significant positive impact on our revenues for 2021 and 2022. We expect continued growth in sales for this product in 2022 and beyond. This is the first of several potential generic drug products we plan to submit to the FDA in the coming years. Within this segment, we also currently distribute sodium iodide (I-131 ) as a radiochemical product. The radiochemical product is being used for a variety of applications including industrial use and use in investigational and clinical trials. We believe that the product enhancements we have made, in addition to the generic drug products we plan to submit to the FDA, should increase future sales in this business segment. In 2019, we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with a company and completed an expansion of our existing facility to support contract manufacturing activities. Because of changing market conditions that company requested a termination of that contract manufacturing arrangement, and a settlement agreement was reached with that company inDecember 2020 . As part of the settlement agreement, we received a termination payment consisting of cash and the other company's relinquishment on all claims to expansion of our facility and all the equipment purchased by them. The settlement resulted in a significant one-time gain for us in 2020. InFebruary 2022 , we were able to sell these assets we received in the settlement agreement for another significant one-time gain as detailed under Other Income (Expense) below. We are currently developing a business plan to produce additional radiopharmaceutical products or explore new contract manufacturing opportunities utilizing the cash from that sale. Cobalt Products Cobalt products sales accounted for approximately 10% of our total sales revenue in 2022 and approximately 14% in 2021. Sales in this segment decreased by$196,981 , or approximately 15%, in 2022 to$1,157,536 , as compared to$1,354,517 in 2021. The decrease in revenue within this segment was the result of decreased Cobalt Sealed Source Manufacturing due to timing of receipt of additional cobalt material from the ATR in 2022, delays in customer contracts for Cobalt Sealed Source Manufacturing, and delays due to maintenance and repairs to our manufacturing equipment. Our sealed source manufacturing generates the majority of our revenue within this segment and sealed source sales depend on our ability to produce or procure cobalt material. 17
InOctober 2014 , we entered into a ten-year agreement with theDOE 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 receipt of material was delayed until aboutJune 2021 . At that point the material still had lower than expected activity, and we reached an agreement with theDOE to purchase the lower activity 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 will continue to have access to additional low specific activity material produced by theDOE and expect to obtain, process, and sell additional cobalt products as a result during 2023. We have entered into cobalt supply agreements with several 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. We recognized some of this revenue in prior years including in 2022 and 2021 when we fulfilled contract performance objectives by supplying sealed sources manufactured with cobalt from the ATR or alternate
suppliers. Nuclear Medicine Standards Due to decreased activity in the Radiological Services segment, startingJanuary 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. Sales in the nuclear medicine standards segment accounted for approximately 36% and 40%, of our total sales revenue in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sales in this segment decreased by$23,921 , or approximately 1%, to$3,978,685 in 2022, as compared to$4,002,606 in 2021. This small decrease in sales in 2022 is due to a$93,547 decrease in sales related to the discontinued Radiological Services segment partially offset by an increase of$69,626 in sales related to nuclear medicine standards products. In 2017, affiliates of the Company purchased 75.5% of the member units of RadQual and at that time, we were named as one of the managing members of RadQual. Because of this change in member ownership and management, we have consolidated RadQual's operations within the nuclear medicine segment for financial reporting since that time. For purposes of consolidation, all significant intercompany activity has been eliminated in the reporting process. InJuly 2021 , we acquired the remaining 75.5% of the member units of RadQual. As a result of the acquisition, RadQual and TI Services are now our wholly-owned subsidiaries and are fully consolidated. We anticipate that our sales of RadQual products will remain strong and that our ownership of RadQual will create significant future opportunities through new product development and expanding markets. Additionally, we will continue to work closely with TI Services using their expertise in marketing and distribution strategies to strengthen nuclear medicine product sales. 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.
InJanuary 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
We continue to engage in source disposal activities and have begun reporting these activities under the Nuclear Medicine Standards segment startingJanuary 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. 18 Fluorine Products In 2022, we had no revenues related to Fluorine Products as compared to$29,775 in 2021. These revenues were related to an agreement to provide engineering and technical assistance services related to our fluorine products' intellectual property. We did not have any revenue from this agreement in 2022. InOctober 2022 , we entered into an option agreement with a Company to sell the NRC license and other assets related to this business area. The agreement gives the buyer up to 18 months to purchase these assets. Work on this project had been on hold since 2013 because of a slowdown in the nuclear industry that specifically impacted fuel cycle facilities. Until such time that we execute the asset sales agreement we will limit our expenditures to essential items such as maintenance of the NRC license, land use agreements, communication with our prospective FEP product customers, and interface with theState of New Mexico andLea County officials.
During 2021, we incurred$144,860 of planning and other expenses related to the de-conversion project, as compared to$150,196 in 2021. This is a decrease of$5,336 , or approximately 4%, and is the result of decreased professional services allocated to this project in 2022. The largest expense in this business segment is$104,379 , approximately 72% of the total expenses for 2022, for the amortization of our NRC license for this project. We expect that our costs in the future will be limited to essential items such as continued interactions with our customers, the state ofNew Mexico , andLea County, New Mexico .
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues for 2022 was$4,891,927 as compared to$3,924,142 in 2021, an increase of$967,785 , or 25%. Gross profit percentage decreased to 56% for 2022, from 59% in 2021. The following table presents revenues and cost of revenues information: For the year For the year ended ended December 31, % of Total December 31, % of Total 2022 Revenues 2022 2021 Revenues 2021
Total Revenues$ 11,181,988 100 %$ 9,661,942 100 % Cost of Revenues Radiochemical Products$ 2,217,468 20 %$ 1,698,124 18 % Cobalt Products 577,417 5 % 546,043 6 % Nuclear Medicine Standards 2,097,042 19 % 1,679,975 17 % Fluorine Products - - - - Total Segments$ 4,891,927 44 %$ 3,924,142 41 % Gross Profit$ 6,290,061 $ 5,737,800 Gross Profit % 56 % 59 % 967,785 25 % 2,956,357 During 2022, we continued to monitor and control direct costs. Raw materials used in our radiochemical products and nuclear medicine standards represented the bulk of direct costs for 2022. In each of these business segments, we have purchase agreements in place with suppliers to obtain optimum pricing. Periodically, the cost increases for these raw materials or we may also use alternate supply sources for our material which might not carry pricing as favorable as our contracted suppliers. The decrease in gross profit percentage in 2022 is a result of increased cost in raw material and supplies in our Nuclear Medicine Standards segment driven by recent cost inflation. We have seen these increased costs stabilize somewhat; and we are working on further offsetting these cost increases with increases to our product prices. We believe we can increase our sales prices enough to overcome these cost increases while continuing to be competitive and maintain sales growth.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses for 2022 were
The following table presents operating costs and expenses for 2022 as compared to 2021: For the year ended For the year ended December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 % change $ change Operating Costs and Expenses: Salaries and Contract Labor $ 3,390,652 $ 2,687,735 26 %$ 702,917 General, Administrative and Consulting 3,568,590
3,459,143 3 % 109,447 Research and Development 533,716 271,714 96 % 262,002 Total operating expenses $ 7,492,958 $ 6,418,592 17 %$ 1,074,366 19
Salaries and contract labor expense increased by$702,917 , or approximately 26%, which was the result of an increased number of employees and increases to labor rates. In addition, non-cash equity compensation expense recorded for the year endedDecember 31, 2022 , was$352,458 as compared to$84,564 for the same period in 2021. This is an increase of$267,894 , or approximately 317%, and is the result of equity compensation recorded for outstanding stock options granted to directors, officers, and employees. General administrative and consulting expenses increased to$3,568,590 in 2022, as compared to$3,459,143 in 2021, an increase of$109,447 , or approximately 3%. This increase is due to periodic waste disposal costs of$329,237 in 2022 with no such cost in 2021. Research and development expense was$533,716 for 2022, compared to$271,714 for 2021. This is an increase of$262,002 , or approximately 96%. This increase in research and development expense was the result of increased costs associated with product development in our Radiochemical and Nuclear Medicine Standards business segments. During both 2022 and 2021, we limited further investment in the planned de-conversion facility and limited further spending on the project only for expenses necessary to maintain licensing, continue interactions withLea County, New Mexico , and supporting a due diligence review of the project by a company interested in purchasing these project assets. We will continue to delay further engineering work on the de-conversion project until we are able to secure additional contracts for de-conversion services. Other Income (Expense) The following table presents other income (expense) for 2022 as compared to 2021: For the year ended For the year ended December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Other income (expense) $ 2,110,576 $ 683,253 Interest income 9,502 111 Interest expense (613,943 ) (791,532 ) Total other (expense) $ 1,506,135 $ (108,168 ) Other income was$2,110,576 for 2022 as compared to other income of$683,253 for 2021. This is an increase in other income of$1,427,323 . The increase is primarily due to a$1,797,978 gain on the sale of assets toPharmalogic Idaho, LLC . InFebruary 2022 , we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement withPharmalogic 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. In 2021, we recognized "other income" for an anticipated tax refund of approximately$440,000 for the Employer Retention Credit. InSeptember 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 charges from our bank, we recognized "other income" to offset the fraudulent charges recorded under "other expense". In October andNovember 2022 , we recovered all the fraudulent charges from our bank.
Interest income in 2022 was
Interest expense decreased during 2022, to$613,943 , from$791,532 in 2021. This decrease of$177,589 , or approximately 22%, was due to a decrease in non-cash interest expense and the payoff of some notes payable. In 2022, non-cash interest expense was$274,443 as compared to$401,077 in 2021. This is a decrease of$126,634 . Interest expense includes dividends accrued on our Series C Preferred Stock (as defined below) issued in 2017. In 2022, we recorded interest expense of$243,780 for dividends payable on our Series C Preferred Stock.
In connection with the 2013 Promissory Note (as defined below), we recorded$30,000 of interest expense for each of 2022 and 2021, and approximately$3,000 and$13,000 of non-cash interest expense related to a debt discount feature on the 2013 Promissory Note for 2022 and 2021 respectively. 20
In connection with the 2019 Promissory Note (as defined below), we recorded$40,000 of interest expense for 2022 and 2021, and approximately$256,000 of non-cash interest expense related to a debt discount feature and issuance of warrants related to the 2019 Promissory Note for 2022 and 2021. We will have$0 in non-cash interest expense in connection with the 2019 Promissory Note in
2023 and future years.
In connection with our 2017 issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, we issued ClassM Warrants and ClassN Warrants . All these warrants expired in 2021. We recorded approximately$0 and$131,000 of non-cash interest expense for 2022 and 2021 respectively in relation to these warrants. Net Income or Loss
Our net income was$303,238 in 2022, compared to a net loss was$902,347 in 2021. This is an increase in net income of$1,205,578 . This increase 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 in 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
OnDecember 31, 2022 , we had cash and cash equivalents of$2,375,817 compared to$474,851 atDecember 31, 2021 . Net cash used in operating activities was$1,497,719 in 2022, compared to net cash used by operating activities of$161,914 in 2021. This represents an increase in cash used in operating activities of approximately$1,335,805 . This increase is due to a large increase in accounts receivable due to the increased sales activity in 2022 as compared to 2021 and decreased net income from operating activities in the year over
year comparison. Accounts receivable atDecember 31, 2022 were$1,596,886 as compared to$853,675 atDecember 31, 2021 . Our allowance for bad debt atDecember 31, 2022 was$0 as compared to$18,910 atDecember 31, 2021 . Inventories atDecember 31, 2022 were$744,793 as compared to$924,775 atDecember 31, 2021 . A large portion of our inventory consists of Cobalt target inventory. For 2022, our target inventory accounted for approximately 25% of our work in process inventory. For 2021, our target inventory accounted for approximately 48% of our work in process inventory. Included in our work in process inventory are in-process and completed nuclear medicine products, irradiated cobalt, and nuclear medicine-related materials and products. We recognized a net profit of$303,238 , for the year endedDecember 31, 2022 , and have an accumulated deficit of$126,460,843 since inception. To date, our operations and plant and equipment expenditures have been funded principally from proceeds from public and private sales of debt and equity as well as through asset sales. Net cash provided in investing activities was$3,879,986 for 2022 and net cash used in investing activities was$205,474 for 2021. During 2022, we used$120,014 to purchase equipment, and we used$205,474 to purchase equipment in 2021. We had proceeds from sale of equipment of$4,000,000 in 2022, and we had no proceeds from sale of equipment in 2021. Financing activities used cash of$472,004 for the year endedDecember 31, 2022 . We received proceeds from the sale of common stock in the amount of$76,571 and made principal payment on loans in the amount of$540,032 in 2022. For the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , financing activities used cash of$78,699 . We received proceeds from the sale of common stock in the amount of$18,890 and issued debt for proceeds of$351,255 . In addition, we made principal payment on loans in the amount of$437,627 in 2021. InFebruary 2017 , we entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including two of our directors, for the sale of (i) an aggregate of 3,433 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) Class M warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,165,000 shares of our common stock (ClassM Warrants ), for gross proceeds of$3,433,000 . The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 6% per annum, payable annually onFebruary 17th of each year, commencing onFebruary 17, 2018 . Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price equal to$0.10 per share, subject to adjustment. At any time afterFebruary 17, 2019 , if the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock over a period of 90 consecutive trading days is greater than$0.25 per share, we may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at the original purchase price per 21 share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, payable in shares of common stock. All outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock must be redeemed by us onFebruary 17, 2022 at the original purchase price per share, payable in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the holder. InFebruary 2022 , based on approval of majority of the Preferred C Holders, we extended the redemption date of the Series C Preferred Stock toFebruary 17, 2023 . InDecember 2022 , based on approval of majority of the Preferred C Holders, we extended the redemption date of the Series C Preferred Stock toFebruary 17, 2025 . Holders of Series C Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights, except as required by law and in connection with certain events as set forth in the Statement of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock. The ClassM Warrants were exercisable at an exercise price of$0.12 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant, and expired inFebruary 2022 . InFebruary 2022 , 515,000 ClassM Warrants were exercised at a price of$0.12 . The Company received$61,800 for the exercise. InMarch 2017 , we amended our 8% unsecured debentures issued that were scheduled to mature inJuly 2017 (the Notes) and gave the noteholders certain additional rights (the Amendment). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Notes were modified to provide each holder the right, at the holder's option and exercisable prior toMay 12, 2017 , to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of our Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of$1,000 per share. Holders that elected to convert their Notes into Series C Preferred Stock received a warrant to purchase up to 3,750 shares of our common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock received upon conversion of the Notes, with each warrant having a five-year term, a cashless exercise feature, and an exercise price of$0.10 per share of common stock. As a result of this modification, an aggregate of$780,000 of the Notes was converted to 780 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 2,925,000 ClassN Warrants (as defined below).

Critical Accounting Estimates
Asset retirement obligation - The asset retirement obligation is based on the expected future cash flows of the decommissioning funding plan. The decommissioning funding plan is based on the estimated number of hours of specific personnel, estimated wages and disposal costs. Once the decommissioning funding plan has been developed, we use a discount rate to determine the estimated current value of the liability.
