                      ISONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Isonics
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2001, and for the three months
ended July 31, 2001, and 2000, have been prepared on the same basis as the
annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, such
unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim
information. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The information
included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2001.

REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. However, we have sustained substantial losses from operations
in recent years, and such losses have continued through August 31, 2001. In
addition, we have used, rather than provided, cash in our operations, and have
been unable to secure adequate financing to meet our future cash needs.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in
turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements on a
continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in our future
operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

We continue to pursue several items that will help us meet our future cash
needs. We expect to receive an income tax refund of approximately $419,000
resulting from a carry-back claim associated with the prior year taxable loss.
In addition, we continue to aggressively pursue our claim of $75,500,000
against Eagle-Picher. We are currently in the arbitration process and hope to
come to resolution in calendar 2002 (see "SALE OF DEPLETED ZINC BUSINESS"). We
are also currently working with several different sources, including both
strategic and financial investors, in order to raise sufficient capital to
finance both our continuing operations and potential expansion. Although there
is no assurance that funding will be available or that the outcome in the
Eagle-Picher case will be positive, we believe that our current business plan,
if successfully funded, will significantly improve our operating results and
cash flow in the future.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Contingently issuable shares are
included in the computation of basic earnings per share when the related
conditions are satisfied. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities
outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of
contingently issuable shares, the incremental common shares issuable upon
conversion of preferred stock (using the "if converted" method) and shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the "treasury
stock" method). Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the
computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of July 31, 2001, a total of 6,487,864 outstanding stock options and
warrants, and 963,666 outstanding shares of Class A Convertible Preferred
Stock have been excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per share
calculation, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of July 31, 2000, a
total of 4,814,999 outstanding stock options and warrants, and 1,516,667
outstanding shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from
the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation, as the inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. During the three month period ending July 31, 2000, 3,130,435
shares of common stock were excluded from the basic computation, as the
issuance of this common stock was contingent upon the delivery of silicon-28
per the terms of the Eagle-Picher transaction. On February 20, 2001 we
canceled the 3,130,435 shares of Common Stock issued to Eagle-Picher as
discussed in "SALE OF DEPLETED ZINC BUSINESS."

During the three month period ended July 31, 2001, we issued the following
shares of Common Stock:

</Table>

The terms of the private placement completed on December 13, 2000 required
that we register the common stock and the common stock underlying the Class B
common stock warrants by June 14, 2001. As we were unable to complete the
effective registration of such shares by June 14, 2001, on July 26, 2001, we
rectified the situation by issuing an additional 112,504 shares of common
stock and an additional 675,000 Class B warrants to the investors of the
private placement.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


SALE OF DEPLETED ZINC BUSINESS

On December 1, 1999, we sold our depleted zinc business to Eagle-Picher
Technologies, LLC for $8,230,000, including $1,500,000 due in equal
installments on November 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002. We received cash of
approximately $6,730,000 from Eagle-Picher at the closing, of which
approximately $1,150,000 was used to pay certain accrued liabilities and debt.
Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a net gain on the sale amounting to
$5,088,000. Eagle-Picher's obligation to pay the final $1,500,000 is subject
to the performance of our former depleted zinc supplier under the terms of a
supply agreement that was transferred to Eagle-Picher in the sale.

For the year ended April 30, 2000, we were recognizing the $1,500,000 on a
straight-line basis as our former supplier performed. As of April 30, 2000, we
had recognized additional gain of $208,000. Eagle-Picher failed to make the
first additional payment due November 30, 2000. We believe that the
unaffiliated supplier performed as required, and that Eagle-Picher has no
cause for its non-payment. We have demanded payment from Eagle-Picher, but
Eagle-Picher made an unacceptable counteroffer. A total of $458,000 of the
contingent gain had been recognized at the time of Eagle-Picher's default, of
which $250,000 had been recognized in the year ended April 30, 2001. We ceased
recognizing any additional contingent gain as a result of Eagle Picher's
failure to make the first payment when due. We established a reserve for the
notes receivable and reversed the gain recognized in 2001, resulting in a net
loss of $208,000 in 2001.

Additionally, as of December 1, 1999, Eagle-Picher was to supply us with 200
kilograms of silicon-28 by December 31, 2000, to be used in research and
development activities. We gave Eagle-Picher a warrant to obtain 4,000,000
shares of our common stock, however, these warrants and the underlying shares,
were contingent upon the delivery of silicon-28 by Eagle-Picher by December
31, 2000. Eagle-Picher exercised its warrant, under a net exercise provision
in the warrant agreement, and received 3,130,435 shares of our Common Stock,
in March 2000. Because Eagle-Picher exercised its warrant pursuant to the
terms of the net exercise provision, Eagle-Picher did not pay cash to exercise
the warrant. Eagle-Picher disputed our calculation and believed we should have
issued to it an additional 155,279 shares of common stock.

In addition to its refusal to pay the aforementioned $500,000 due November 30,
2000, Eagle-Picher did not deliver 200 kilograms of silicon-28, meeting the
specifications as set forth in our agreement, by December 31, 2000. We know
that Eagle-Picher's silicon-28 production facility in Oklahoma has encountered
certain technical difficulties, which Eagle-Picher refers to as a FORCE
MAJEURE. We believe that Eagle-Picher's technical difficulties do not meet the
definition of FORCE MAJEURE per our agreements, which would entitle
Eagle-Picher to a delay in the delivery requirement.

As Eagle-Picher is claiming FORCE MAJEURE, it believes it is entitled to
retain its ownership to the 3,130,435 shares obtained through the net exercise
of the warrant and believes it also should receive the disputed 155,279 shares
of our common stock. We continue to dispute Eagle-Picher's claims and on
January 26, 2001, our Board of Directors authorized us to cancel
Eagle-Picher's common stock shares and return those shares to the "authorized,
unissued" category. We cancelled the shares on February 20, 2001.

We notified Eagle-Picher of our intention to pursue the dispute resolution
process, as set forth in the agreement with Eagle-Picher, in December 2000.
The dispute resolution process consists of three phases. The first phase was
negotiations between designated members of senior management of the two
companies. Several meetings were held in December 2000 and January 2001. No
resolution was reached.

                                      10

                      ISONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


The second phase was mediation. Eagle-Picher notified us of its desire to
mediate this dispute on January 18, 2001. A mediation session was held on
January 26, 2001. Again, no resolution was reached. The third phase is binding
arbitration. On March 26, 2001, we filed for binding arbitration. We are
claiming damages against Eagle-Picher of $75,500,000. An arbitration hearing
has been scheduled for April 2002. We have been informed by our legal counsel
that it will likely take a minimum of six-to-nine months or longer to complete
the arbitration phase.

On February 8, 2001, Eagle-Picher informed us that they would be seeking
damages, in excess of $10,000,000, for alleged misrepresentations regarding
the status of the depleted zinc business at the time of the sale. We believe
these allegations to be groundless, and we believe we made full and complete
disclosure to Eagle-Picher at the time of the sale.

Discovery is only in the very preliminary stages of the arbitration
proceeding. Consequently, it is premature for us to predict any likely
outcome. We intend to vigorously defend against Eagle-Picher's claim and to
prosecute our own claims against Eagle-Picher until successfully resolved or
a settlement is reached.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No. 141
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS and SFAS No. 142 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. SFAS
No. 141 addresses the methods used to account for business combinations and
requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all combinations
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 addresses the methods used to amortize
intangible assets and to assess impairment of those assets, including goodwill
resulting from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method.
SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Included in our assets at July 31, 2001, is goodwill related to the
acquisition of Chemotrade in 1998 with a net carrying value of $2,963,000.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we will no longer amortize this goodwill,
decreasing our amortization expense by approximately $175,000 per year. We are
required to assess this goodwill for impairment in the year of adoption. We
will not be able to determine the full effect of these new pronouncements on
our financial position or our results of operations, until we are able to
complete our analysis of the impairment provisions of the new standards. Under
existing accounting standards, our assessment of the Chemotrade goodwill
indicated that no impairment existed as of July 31, 2001. In the event our
analysis under the new guidance indicates this goodwill is impaired, we will
be required to record a charge to our earnings in the year of adoption.

RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Founded in 1992, we are an advanced materials and technology company. We are
developing and we anticipate commercializing products created from materials
whose natural isotopic ratios have been modified. An isotope is one of two or
more species (or nuclides) of the same chemical element that differ from one
another only in the number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus. The different
number of neutrons can create significantly different nuclear properties. The
most well-known of these properties is radioactivity. Radioactive isotopes (or
radioisotopes) can be found in nature. Most of our radioisotopes, however, are
man-made. Stable isotopes, as distinguished from radioisotopes, are not
radioactive. Several manufacturers, located primarily in republics that once
were part of the Soviet Union, produce these isotopes. We buy these isotopes
from the manufacturers and resell them in the form of common chemical
compounds. For example, oxygen-18 is sold as water, and carbon-13 is sold as
carbon dioxide. Today our isotope business addresses the material needs of two
primary markets:

         o        Life sciences and
         o        Semiconductor materials.

While we are currently focusing on these two markets, we continually evaluate
other applications for both stable and radioisotopes. We also sell isotopes
for use in basic scientific research and certain specific industrial
applications. We believe that our core competency is our ability to identify,
develop, source, and commercialize products and services based on isotopically
engineered materials.

Our revenues in the future will depend on our success in developing and
selling products in the semiconductor and stable and radioactive isotope
markets. Consistent with our historical experience, our quarterly results have
been materially affected by the size, timing, and quantity of orders and
product shipments during a given quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


RECENT ACQUISITION DISCUSSIONS

On July 18, 2001, we signed a letter of intent to buy the silicon-on-insulator
wafer business (SOI business) of Silicon Evolution, Inc. ("SEI") by acquiring
certain assets and assuming certain liabilities in exchange for 2,000,000
restricted shares of common stock. In addition, we would be required to issue
up to 1,600,000 additional shares of restricted common stock if the SOI
business were to achieve certain operating objectives. Upon completion of our
due diligence procedures, we determined that the previously agreed upon
consideration was in excess of the fair value of the SOI business and we are
negotiating with SEI to determine whether alternative acquisition arrangements
are possible. If we are able to negotiate an alternative arrangement, we will
continue to pursue the completion of the acquisition of SEI, but we cannot
offer any assurance as to when the transaction would close, if it closes at
all. If we reach a definitive agreement with SEI, our ability to complete the
transaction will be dependent on a number of conditions, including obtaining
the capital necessary to continue the SOI business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were approximately
$1,634,000, a decrease of approximately 19.7%, or approximately $402,000, from
approximately $2,036,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2000. The
decrease is principally due to the reduction in net revenues from
international isotope product sales partially offset by an increase in
domestic isotope product sales.

Net revenues from international isotope product sales for the three months
ended July 31, 2001 were approximately $730,000, a decrease of approximately
52%, or approximately $778,000, from approximately $1,508,000 for the three
months ended July 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily the result of the
acquisition of a major customer by one of our competitors during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001.

Net revenues from domestic isotope product sales for the three months ended
July 31, 2001 were approximately $904,000, an increase of approximately 71%,
or approximately $376,000, from approximately $528,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 2000. The increase was primarily the result of additional
product sales to our existing customers and an increase in our customer base
for the three months ended July 31, 2001.

We do not anticipate significant revenues from sales of silicon-28 based
products in fiscal 2002. We are collaborating with academia and industry to
evaluate the benefits of isotopically pure silicon-28. We believe that if
evaluations demonstrate the commercial feasibility of one or more products,
demand could emerge in the high-performance micro-processor segment of the
semiconductor market. We can offer no assurance, however that these
evaluations will demonstrate the commercial feasibility of any products, that
we will be able to commercialize any such products, or that a market will
emerge for any such products.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2001 was approximately
$421,000, a decrease of approximately 18%, or approximately $93,000, from
approximately $514,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2000. On a
percentage of net revenues basis, gross margin increased .5 percentage points
to approximately 25.7%, for the three months ended July 31, 2001, from
approximately 25.2%, for the three months ended July 31, 2000. The dollar
decrease is directly attributable to the decrease in net revenues.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $274,000,
to approximately $929,000, for the three months ended July 31, 2001, from
approximately $1,203,000, for the three months ended July 31, 2000. On a
percentage of net revenues basis, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased approximately 2.2 percentage points to approximately 56.9%, for the
three months ended July 31, 2001, from approximately 59.1%, for the three
months ended July 31, 2000. The dollar decrease is primarily attributable to
reduced salaries and headcount, and other related expenses due to the sale of
our subsidiary International Process Research Corporation ("IPRC"), effective
February 1, 2001. The percentage decrease is also attributable to the sale of
our subsidiary IPRC, partially offset by a decrease in net revenues.



                                      14

<Page>

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue
to fluctuate as we are attempting to develop and market new products and
increase the sales of our existing products. While we are attempting to keep
control over these expenses, we anticipate that we will not be able to reduce
selling, general and administrative expenses in the near future. Our goal is
to increase revenues so that selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues will decrease over time.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Consistent with our product development strategy, we are seeking to identify
and evaluate new stable and radioactive isotope products and potential markets
for economic and technical feasibility. We will, in addition, continue funding
research and development to improve technologies for isotope separation and
material processing technologies. Because of the uniqueness of our business,
the unique chemicals and processes we deal with and the handling precautions
required, these expenses are significant. We cannot offer any assurance that
our current or future lines of business or products resulting for our research
and development efforts will be profitable or generate significant revenues.

Research and development expenses decreased approximately $199,000, to
approximately $105,000, for the three months ended July 31, 2001, from
approximately $304,000, for the three months ended July 31, 2000. On a
percentage of net revenues basis research and development expenses decreased
approximately 8.4 percentage points to approximately 6.5% for the three months
ended July 31, 2001, from approximately 14.9%, for the three months ended July
31, 2000. The dollar decrease is primarily related to decreased research and
development expenses associated with the zinc recovery and recycling project.
These expenses were incurred by our subsidiary IPRC, which was sold effective
February 1, 2001. The percentage decrease is also attributable to the sale of
our subsidiary IPRC, partially offset by a decrease in net revenues.

We believe that the development and introduction of new product applications
is critical to our future success. We expect that research and development
expenses may increase assuming sufficient cash remains available and we are
able to procure necessary materials and outside services, but will likely
continue to vary as a percentage of revenues because of the timing and amount
of future revenues. We operate no facilities of our own for research and
development. All research and development work is performed by outside
entities, none of which we control. None of the companies that currently
perform research and development work for us do so on an exclusive basis.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income (expense), net includes interest income and expense and foreign
currency gains and losses. Other income (expense), net decreased approximately
$222,000 , to approximately ($70,000), for the three months ended July 31,
2001, from approximately $152,000, for the three months ended July 31, 2000.
The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income of
approximately $90,000 due to lower amounts of cash and cash equivalents and
lower interest rates. In addition, for the three months ended July 31, 2001 we
realized an approximate $59,000 loss related to the translation of the German
financial statements of Chemotrade to US dollars as compared to an approximate
$69,000 gain for the three months ended July 31, 2000.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


INCOME TAXES

We currently operate at a loss and expect to operate at a loss until the
products currently under development begin to generate sufficient revenue. The
losses incurred in the current year are not expected to generate an income tax
benefit because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax
asset. As such we have provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax
assets for the amount in excess of the taxes paid in prior years that are
subject to refund. We anticipate receiving a tax refund of approximately
$419,000 resulting from a carry-back claim associated with the prior year
taxable loss. This refund will be received after we file our fiscal year 2001
consolidated tax returns.

NET LOSS

We recognized a net loss of approximately $687,000 for the three months ended
July 31, 2001, as compared to a net loss of approximately $842,000 for the
three months ended July 31, 2000. Losses, as incurred during the three months
ended July 31, 2001, of this magnitude will likely continue until revenues
increase from our current operations or until we generate revenues from
products introduced as a result of our research and development projects.

Net income in future years will be dependent on our ability to increase net
revenues faster than we increase our selling, general and administrative
expenses, research and development expense and other expenses. Because of our
continuing research and development efforts on new products, we do not expect
to generate any significant increase in net revenues during the remaining nine
months of fiscal 2002. Consequently, we anticipate that the operations for the
remaining nine months of fiscal 2002 will result in a significant loss unless
we are able to increase our revenues from our existing products or generate
additional sales from the new products we may develop.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our working capital and liquidity have eroded significantly during the three
months ended July 31, 2001. Working capital decreased approximately $313,000,
to approximately $1,296,000 at July 31, 2001, from approximately $1,609,000,
at April 30, 2001.

Our principal sources of funding for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and
2000 have been from the exercise of stock warrants, the exercise of stock
options and proceeds from the sale of shares under our employee stock purchase
program. We used cash in operating activities of approximately $755,000 and
$1,508,000, during the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended
July 31, 2001 was principally the result of a net loss of approximately
$687,000. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended July
31, 2000 was principally the result of a net loss of approximately $842,000
and tax payments of $675,000.

Our investing activities used cash of approximately $2,000 and approximately
$11,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash
used in investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and July
31, 2000, resulted primarily from purchases of property and equipment.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Financing activities generated cash of approximately $327,000 and
approximately $193,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
July 31, 2001 resulted primarily from the exercise of stock warrants for
approximately $322,000 and proceeds of approximately $5,000 from the sale of
shares under our employee stock purchase program. Cash provided by financing
activities for the three months ended July 31, 2000 resulted primarily from
the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the sale of shares under our
employee stock purchase program.

At July 31, 2001, we had approximately $660,000 of cash and cash equivalents,
a decrease of approximately $430,000, compared to $1,090,000, at April 30,
2001. The decrease is primarily the result of net losses incurred during the
three months ended July 31, 2001.

We expect that our working capital will continue to decrease over time as we
continue to use our capital for operations, research and development, and
investing activities. We do not expect working capital to increase until we
are able to increase our revenues to exceed our cash out-flow (assuming we are
able even to increase our revenues) or complete a financing arrangement. We
cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to do so in the near term. We
have sufficient cash available to fund our working capital requirements for
approximately 4 months.

We continue to pursue several items that will help us meet our future cash
needs. We expect to receive an income tax refund of approximately $419,000
resulting from a carry-back claim associated with the fiscal year 2001 taxable
loss. In addition, we continue to aggressively pursue our claim of $75,500,000
against Eagle-Picher. We are currently in the arbitration process and hope to
come to resolution in Fiscal 2002 (see notes to condensed consolidated
financial statements). Management is also currently working with several
different sources, including both strategic and financial investors, in order
to raise sufficient capital to finance both our continuing operations and our
proposed acquisition of SEI (see "RECENT ACQUISITIONS"). Although there is no
assurance that funding will be available or that the outcome in the
Eagle-Picher case will be positive, we believe that our current business plan,
if successfully funded, will significantly improve our operating results and
cash flow in the future.
