Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, was $2,614,744, as compared to $1,485,293 for the same period in 2010, an overall increase of $1,129,451, or approximately 76%. Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was $5,028,059, as compared to $2,594,844 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $2,433,215, or approximately 94%.

The Company's three most significant business segments are Radiochemical Products, Nuclear Medicine Standards, and Cobalt Products. Revenue from the sale of radiochemical products for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $465,901, compared to $404,620 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase of $71,281, or approximately 18%. Revenue from the sale of radiochemical products for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was $917,201, compared to $848,660 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase in revenue of $68,541, or approximately 8%. Increases in this segment's performance are attributable to increased sales of radiochemical iodine-131 which have remained strong for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Revenue from nuclear medicine products for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, was $1,186,399, compared to $483,520 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase in revenue attributable to this segment of $702,879, or approximately 145%. Revenue from nuclear medicine products for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $2,579,556, compared to $917,039 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase in revenue attributable to this segment of $1,662,517, or approximately 181%. In December 2010, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with RadQual, LLC and formed TI Services, LLC. Total revenue generated by TI Services, LLC for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 was $723,611 and $1,555,368, respectively, and is being reported on a consolidated basis with the Company's Nuclear Medicine Standards business segment revenue.

Revenue from the sale of cobalt products for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $821,409 compared to $486,377 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase in revenue of $335,032, or approximately 69%. Revenue from the sale of cobalt products for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $1,234,244, compared to $646,262 for the same period in 2010. This represents an increase in revenue of $587,982, or approximately 91%. The increase in revenue from the sale of cobalt products for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010 are largely the result of the timing of large bulk cobalt product sales that occurred during the periods which have a dramatic effect on period-to-period comparisons. The Company recorded $502,533 of bulk cobalt sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. There were no bulk cobalt sales during the first quarter of 2011 or during the first six months of 2010. The following table presents a period-to-period comparison of total revenue by segment, as well as a period-to-period comparison of total revenue by segment excluding bulk cobalt sales. Management believes that a comparison of total revenue excluding bulk cobalt sales provides meaningful information to investors because of the large period-to-period fluctuations in bulk cobalt sales. However, this information has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for total revenue.

The Company's net loss is largely attributable to research and development costs related to the planned depleted uranium de-conversion and fluorine extraction processing facility.

Steve T. Laflin, President and CEO of International Isotopes Inc. said, "The continued strong performance of our major business segments, coupled with the positive contribution of TI Services, LLC revenue, has made this the Company's strongest six-month revenue performance in our operating history. I believe these trends in business performance are likely to continue for the remainder of the year.

"In parallel with sustaining the growth and performance of our core business segments, we are also pleased with the progress made this year on the planned depleted uranium de-conversion project. We continue to make steady progress on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license review and anticipate the NRC will complete this process and issue our license for the facility by June 2012. We also recently announced the selection of Parsons Corporation (Parsons), a global engineering, construction, technical, and management services firm, as the prime contractor for the design-build of the planned depleted uranium de-conversion facility. We have completed a letter of intent with Parsons outlining the terms for the design and build contract. We have also provided additionally requested information to the Department of Energy (DOE) to further advance our application for a loan on the project under the DOE's energy efficiency and renewable energy program solicitation. We expect additional information on the progress of that application later this fall. Overall, the project is progressing quite well but, as we have noted in the past, our ability to successfully complete the licensing, design, and construction of this project will require substantial additional funding. We will continue to manage our expenditures on this project and utilize the cash produced from our core business segments to sustain our operations and support budgeted work on the planned project until such time that market conditions for further debt or equity financing improve."
