Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In May, June and November 2006, and April 2007, Isonics Corporation (the “Company”) issued YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”), formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, LP, a total of four convertible debentures having an aggregate face amount of $18,000,000. On June 13, 2008 the Company issued YA Global a non-convertible term note in the face amount of $1,175,000, and on the same date issued non-convertible notes to replace both the debenture originally issued in June 2006 and the debenture originally issued in November 2006. Accordingly, only the debentures originally issued in May 2006 (the “May 2006 Debenture”) and April 2007 are still convertible into shares of our common stock.

On both September 23, 2008 and October 10, 2008 YA Global converted a portion of the May 2006 Debenture into shares of Company common stock to partially satisfy the amount due under that debenture. On those dates YA Global did not convert any portion of the other debentures or notes issued to YA Global into shares of our common stock, and therefore only the amount due under the May 2006 was reduced. The following sets forth the information required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K in connection with the issuances:

1. On September 23, 2008 YA Global converted $3,500 of face amount of the May 2006 Debenture into 1,060,606 shares of Company common stock.

(a) The transaction was completed effective as of September 23, 2008.

(b) There was no placement agent or underwriter for the transaction.

(c) The shares were not issued in consideration for cash, however the amount due under the May 2006 Debenture was reduced by $3,500.

(d) We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Sections 4(2) and 4(6) under the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction. We did not engage in any public advertising or general solicitation in connection with this transaction, and we provided YA Global with disclosure of all aspects of our business, including our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our press releases, and other financial, business, and corporate information. We believe that YA Global obtained all information regarding the Company it requested, received answers to all questions it (and its advisors) posed, and otherwise understood the risks of accepting our securities for investment purposes. Further, based on representations previously made to us, we believe that YA Global is an accredited investor.

(e) The common stock issued in this transaction is not convertible or exchangeable.

2. On October 10, 2008 YA Global converted $1,100 of face amount of the May 2006 Debenture into 1,100,000 shares of Company common stock.

(a) The transaction was completed effective as of October 10, 2008.

(b) There was no placement agent or underwriter for the transaction.

(c) The shares were not issued in consideration for cash, however the amount due under the May 2006 Debenture was reduced by $1,100.

(e) The common stock issued in this transaction is not convertible or exchangeable.
