Isonics Corporation
NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
On April 30, 1998, Isonics Corporation (the "Company") acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of International Process Research Corporation dba
Colorado Minerals Research Institute ("Interpro") a contract research and
development organization specializing in metallurgical, mineral processing, and
environmental test work and consultancy services. The purchase price was paid in
353,982 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair market value of
$708,000. Transaction costs were $70,000. No goodwill was recognized upon
completing the transaction.
Effective June 1, 1998, Isonics Corporation (the "Company") acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Chemotrade GmbH and subsidiary (collectively
"Chemotrade") a value-added re-seller of stable and radio isotopes. The purchase
price consideration consisted of $2,576,000 paid on closing and $1,107,000 to be
paid through June 2001. Transaction costs as of July 31, 1998 were $68,000 and
imputed interest from the effective date of the acquisition, June 1, 1998, to
the date that consideration was paid or interest began accruing on
consideration, June 30, 1998, totaled $28,000. Imputed interest is reflected as
a reduction of the purchase price. The consideration paid upon closing consisted
of cash of $758,000, 357,730 restricted shares of common stock with a fair
market value of $894,000, two notes, one for $924,000 bearing interest at 2% per
month, which was paid in August 1998, and a second note of $826,000 bearing
interest at 10%, due June 1, 1999. The sellers have guaranteed Chemotrade's
defined pre tax earnings will be at least $550,000 during each of the sixteen
months ended April 30, 1999 and twelve months ended April 20, 2000 and 2001. If
the pre tax earnings of Chemotrade are less than $550,000 for the sixteen month
period ended April 30, 1999 or year ended April 30, 2000, the note payable of
$826,000 due June 1, 1999, will be reduced by $0.75 for each $1.00 shortfall of
earnings. If Chemotrade has pre tax earnings of at least $550,000 for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2001, the consideration will be reduced $0.50 for each
$1.00 shortfall in earnings. The contingent consideration for the year ended
April 30, 2001 will be recorded as additional goodwill upon Chemotrade meeting
the pre tax earnings requirement. The excess of the $3,442,000 purchase price
over the fair value of the tangible assets acquired, $1,712,000, less
liabilities assumed of $1,598,000 million, $3,328,000 has been allocated to
goodwill and will be amortized over twenty years.
The accompanying pro forma statement of operations is presented in
accordance with Regulation SB Item 310(b) Paragraph (d). No pro forma balance
sheet is presented as the assets and liabilities of Interpro and Chemotrade and
the goodwill recognized in the acquisition of Chemotrade are included in the
July 31, 1998 balance sheet of the Company filed on Form 10-QSB.
The Company's historical results of operations will include Interpro
commencing May 1, 1998 and Chemotrade commencing June 1, 1998. The pro forma
statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 1998 includes the following
adjustments to reflect the consummation of the transactions as if it had
occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1998:
1. To eliminate intercompany revenues and cost of revenues between Isonics and
Interpro.
2. To adjust depreciation expense of Interpro to reflect the fair value of
assets acquired.
3. To adjust salaries paid to Interpro's management to amounts to be paid under
new employment agreements.
4. To eliminate management fee paid to Interpro's parent company.
5. To record amortization of the goodwill arising from the Chemotrade
acquisition for the year ended April 30, 1998, over its estimated life of
twenty years.
6. To record interest expense on the debt issued in connection with the
Chemotrade acquisition.
7. To adjust income tax expense resulting from the pro forma adjustments
(amortization of goodwill and interest expense on debt issued to sellers of
Chemotrade) assuming the statutory tax rate of Germany.
8. To increase the number of common shares used in the per share calculation for
the common stock issued in the acquisitions for basic earnings per share and
eliminate common stock equivalents from diluted earnings per share as they
are anti-dilutive given the pro forma net loss.
The adjustments do not give effect to any potential benefits that might
have been realized through the combination of operations and are not necessarily
indicative of the consolidated results which would have been reported if the
acquisitions of Interpro and Chemotrade had actually occurred at the beginning
of the year ended April 30, 1998.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors
Chemotrade GmbH and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chemotrade GmbH
and subsidiary ("Chemotrade") as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chemotrade as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and equivalents, receivables and payables
approximates the carrying value due to the short maturity of such
instruments. The fair value of bank debt approximates carrying value based
on terms available for similar instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's Functional currecny is the US dollar. Certain financial
statement amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, with all
other assets and liabilities translated at period-end exchange rates. These
translation adjustments are reflected in the results of operations and are
not material.
