  Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
  1.
  On April 18, 2008 the Compensation
  Committee of our Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 15,600,000 options
  to employees and directors of Isonics Corporation ("Isonics" or the "Company")
  and our subsidiaries.  As described below
  in the disclosure under Item 5.02, certain of the options were granted to our
  executive officers.  The options were
  granted under the Isonics Corporation 2008 Equity Plan (the "2008 Plan").  The following is the information required by
  Item 701 of Regulation S-K.
  (a)
  On April 18, 2008 we granted an aggregate of 15,600,000 options to
  our employees and directors, and also to employees of our subsidiaries.  Except
  for the number of options granted, the material terms of each option grant were
  the same. The exercise price of each option is $0.03, the closing sales price
  of our common stock on April 18, 2008. 
  The options vested immediately upon grant subject to each recipient's
  acceptance of the option.  Each option is
  exercisable for ten years from the date of grant.   The options do not qualify as
  incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
  (b)
  There was no placement agent or underwriter for the transaction.
  (c)
  The stock options were granted in consideration for services provided
  to Isonics Corporation and its subsidiaries. 
  We received no cash for the grant of the options.
  (d)
  We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under
  the Securities Act of 1933 for the grant of the stock options.   We
  did not engage in any public advertising or general solicitation in connection
  with this transaction, and we provided each recipient with disclosure of all
  aspects of our business, including our reports filed with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission, our press releases, access to our auditors, and other
  financial, business, and corporate information. We believe that each recipient
  obtained all information regarding Isonics he or she requested, received
  answers to all questions he or she (and their advisors) posed, and otherwise
  understood the risks of accepting our securities for investment purposes.
  (e)
  The stock options are exercisable to purchase shares of common stock as
  described above.
  2.
  On April 21, 2008 we granted Michael
  Caridi an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in
  consideration for Mr. Caridi entering into a consulting agreement. The
  option was granted under the 2008 Plan. The following is the information
  required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K.
  (a)
  On April 21, 2008 we granted Michael Caridi an option to purchase
  1,000,000 shares of our common stock.  The option is exercisable at $.03
  and is exercisable for five years from the date of grant.  The option is
  subject to the following vesting schedule:  (i) 300,000 shares will
  vest immediately upon Mr. Caridi's acceptance of the option; (ii) 350,000
  shares vest on February 28, 2009; and (iii) 350,000
  shares vest on February 28, 2010. 
  The shares underlying the option will not vest if the consulting
  agreement is terminated prior to the applicable vesting date by Mr. Caridi
  or by the Company as a result of a breach of the consulting agreement.   The
  option granted to
  2
  Mr. Caridi does not qualify
  as an incentive stock option under Section 422
  of the Internal Revenue Code.
  (b)
  There was no placement agent or underwriter for the transaction.
  (c)
  The stock option was granted in consideration for Mr. Caridi
  entering into a consulting agreement with Isonics Corporation.  We received no cash for the issuance of the
  stock option.
  (d)
  We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under
  the Securities Act of 1933 for the issuance of the stock option.   We
  did not engage in any public advertising or general solicitation in connection
  with this transaction, and we provided the investor with disclosure of all
  aspects of our business, including our reports filed with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission, our press releases, access to our auditors, and other
  financial, business, and corporate information. We believe that the investor
  obtained all information regarding Isonics he requested, received answers to all
  questions he (and his advisors) posed, and otherwise understood the risks of
  accepting our securities for investment purposes.
  (e)
  The stock option is exercisable to purchase shares of common stock as
  described above.
  Item 5.02 -
  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
  Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
  Certain Officers
  1.
  Executive Officer Option Grants
  Included in the April 18, 2008 option grants
  were grants to our: (i) chief executive officer and chairman of the board
  of directors; (ii) president and chief operating officer; and (iii) chief
  financial officer and vice president - finance (collectively the "Executives").  The exercise price, vesting terms and term of
  the options are described above.  Each of
  the options grants is subject to acceptance by the recipient, which must be
  received no later than May 15, 2008.
  In February 2007 each of the Executives were
  granted options under our 2007 Restructuring Equity Plan (the "2007 Plan").  After the grant, the options granted to the
  Executives in February 2007 represented the only options held by each
  Executive.   In January 2008
  our Board of Directors terminated the 2007 Plan
  as it was not likely that shareholder approval would be obtained within one
  year of the plan's adoption as required under the 2007 Plan.  Consequently, the stock options granted under
  the 2007 Plan were terminated.  As such
  upon their acceptance the options granted on April 18, 2008 under the 2008
  Plan will upon their acceptance represent the only options held by each
  Executive.
  The Executives granted options
  on April 18, 2008 and the number of options granted to each is as follows:

  2.
  Director Option Grants
  Also included in the April 18,
  2008, option grants were grants to each member of our Board of Directors.  These options were granted in consideration
  for each director's service as a board member, with additional options being
  granted to the persons serving as chairman of committees of the Board of
  Directors.  Each director was granted
  750,000 options.  Further, an additional 500,000 options were
  granted to the chairman of the Audit Committee, an additional 250,000 options
  were granted to the chairman of the Compensation Committee, an additional
  125,000 options were granted to the chairman of the Nominating Committee, and
  an additional 125,000 options were granted to the chairman of the Management
  Development Committee.
  The
  exercise price, vesting term, and term of the options granted to each director
  is the same as those granted to the Executives.   Each
  of the director options grants is subject to acceptance by the recipient, which
  must be received no later than May 15, 2008.
