set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders that will be presented
for  consideration  at the Annual  Meeting.  If any other  matters are  properly
brought before the Annual Meeting and presented for a vote of the  shareholders,
the persons named in the Proxy will vote in accordance  with their best judgment
upon such matters, unless otherwise restricted by law.

         The cost of  solicitation  of proxies will be borne by the Company.  In
addition  to the use of the mails,  proxies  may also be  solicited  by personal
interview,   facsimile  transmission,  and  telephone  by  directors,  officers,
employees,  and agents of the  Company.  The Company  will also supply  brokers,
nominees, or other custodians with the numbers of Proxy forms, Proxy Statements,

                                QUORUM AND VOTING

         The  presence,  in person or by proxy,  of the holders of a majority of
the  voting  power of the  outstanding  shares  of Common  Stock of the  Company
entitled  to vote is  necessary  to  constitute  a quorum  at the  meeting.  The
affirmative  vote of a majority of the voting power  represented at the meeting,
present in person or represented by proxy,  and entitled to vote is required for
the election of  directors.  A holder of shares of Common Stock will be entitled
to one vote per share of Common Stock as to each matter properly  brought before
the meeting.  Cumulative  voting is not  permitted in the election of directors.
Abstentions and votes "withheld" are included in the determination of the number
of shares  present at the meeting for purposes of  determining a quorum.  Broker
non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present on
any particular  matter only if authority to vote on the matter is granted by the
respective  proxy.  Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of negative
votes on matters requiring approval of a specified percentage of the outstanding
shares. For matters requiring approval by the holders of a specified  percentage
of the voting power represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, abstentions
will have the effect of negative votes but broker non-votes will have no effect.


                                  PROPOSAL ONE

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         Five directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting for terms expiring
at the next Annual  Meeting.  The  directors  will continue to serve until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

         Shares  represented  by proxies  returned  duly executed will be voted,
unless  otherwise  specified,  in favor of the five  nominees  for the  Board of
Directors named below.  The proxies cannot be voted for more than five nominees.
The  nominees  have  indicated  that  they  are  able  and  willing  to serve as
directors.  If any (or all) such persons should be unable to serve,  the persons
named in the  enclosed  proxy  will vote the  shares  covered  thereby  for such
substitute  nominee  (or  nominees)  as  the  Board  of  Directors  may  select.
Shareholders  may withhold  authority to vote for any nominee by striking a line
through the name of such  nominee in the space  provided for such purpose on the
form of Proxy.

                                  PROPOSAL TWO

                      RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITOR

         The Board of Directors  has selected  Hansen,  Barnett & Maxwell LLP as
independent  certified public  accountants to audit the  consolidated  financial
statements  of the Company for the fiscal  years  ending  December  31, 2001 and
December 31, 2002, and has determined that it would be desirable to request that
the  shareholders  ratify such selection.  The affirmative vote of a majority of
the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting in person
or by proxy is necessary for the ratification of the appointment by the Board of
Directors  of Hansen,  Barnett & Maxwell  LLP as  independent  certified  public
accountants. Representatives of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell LLP are expected to be
present at the Annual Meeting,  will have the opportunity to make a statement if
they desire to do so and will be available to respond to  appropriate  questions
from shareholders.

         Although shareholder  ratification is not required for the selection of
Hansen,  Barnett & Maxwell LLP as the Board of Directors has the  responsibility
for  selecting the  Company's  independent  certified  public  accountants,  the
selection is being submitted for  ratification at the Annual Meeting with a view
towards soliciting the shareholders' opinions, which the Board of Directors will
take into consideration in future deliberations.

         The  Board  of  Directors  recommends  a vote FOR the  ratification  of
Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell LLP as independent certified public accountants of the
Company for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002.

                                       6


                                 PROPOSAL THREE

                   APPROVAL OF 2002 AMENDED AND RESTATED LONG
                               TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

         The Board of Directors has  determined  that it is in the best interest
of the Company to amend and restate its 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2000
Plan") by increasing the stock option pool available  thereunder  from 1,000,000
shares to 20,000,000 and making certain other  adjustments.  The new amended and
restated  plan will be  referred  to as the 2002 Long Term  Incentive  Plan (the
"2002 Plan") and will replace in its entirety the 2000 Plan.

         The 2002 Plan  authorizes  the granting of incentive  stock options and
non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock and performance  units to key executive and other key employees
of the Company,  including officers of the Company and its subsidiaries,  and to
directors  and  consultants  of the Company.  The purpose of the 2002 Plan is to
attract and retain key employees,  directors and  consultants,  to motivate such
persons to achieve  long-range  goals and to align their  interest with those of
the Company.  The 2002 Plan  authorizes the award of up to 20,000,000  shares of
common  stock  to be used  for  stock  options,  stock  appreciation  rights  or
restricted stock.  There was previously issued pursuant to the 2000 Plan options
to purchase 1,000,000 shares, which will now be included under the 2002 Plan. If
an award made under the 2002 Plan expires, terminates or is forfeited,  canceled
or settled in cash,  without  issuance of shares of common stock  covered by the
award, those shares will be available for future awards under the 2002 Plan.

         The 2002 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or, if directed
by the Board of Directors,  the  Compensation  Committee (the Board of Directors
or, if  applicable,  the  Compensation  Committee  is  referred to herein as the
"Committee").  Executives  and other  full time  employees  of the  Company  and
subsidiaries  may be selected by the  Company to receive  awards  under the 2002
Plan. The 2002 Plan provides that no more than 10,000,000 shares of common stock
may be subject to awards granted per year to any one employee  participating  in
the 2002 Plan (the 2000 Plan placed a maximum of 1,000,000  shares per year). In
the  discretion of the Committee,  an eligible  employee may receive an award in
the form of a stock option, stock appreciation right,  restricted stock award or
performance  unit or any  combination  thereof,  and more  than one award may be
granted to an eligible employee.

         The 2002 Plan  authorizes  the award of both  incentive  stock  options
("ISOs")  and  non-qualified  options.  Under the 2002  Plan,  an option  may be
exercised at any time during the exercise  period  established by the Committee,
except that: (i) no option may be exercised  more than 90 days after  employment
with the Company and its  subsidiaries  terminates  by reason  other than death,
disability  or authorized  leave of absence for military or government  service;
and (ii) no option may be exercised  more than 12 months after  employment  with
the Company and its  subsidiaries  terminates by reason of death or  disability.
The aggregate fair market value  (determined at the time of award) of the common
stock  with  respect  to which  ISOs are  exercisable  for the first time by any
employee  during any  calendar  year may not exceed  $100,000.  The term of each
option is  determined  by the  Committee,  but in no event may such term  exceed
three years from the date of grant.  The exercise price of options is determined
by the  Committee,  but the  exercise  price of ISOs  can be less  than the fair
market  value of the common stock on the date of grant.  The  exercise  price of
non-qualified  stock  options  cannot be less than the fair market  value of the
common stock on the date of grant.  The exercise price of options may be paid in
cash or in shares of common stock. Grants of options do not entitle any optionee
to any rights as a  stockholder  and such  rights  will accrue only as to shares
actually purchased through the exercise of an option.

         As of  April  30,  2002,  the  Company  had  granted,  or the  Board of
Directors  had approved for grant options to purchase an aggregate of 14,000,000
shares  of  common  stock  under  the 2002  Plan  (including  1,000,000  options
originally granted under the 2000 plan),  11,000,000 of which were issued to the
Company's  President and CEO, Steve Laflin, and the remaining 3,000,000 to other
employees.

         Internal  Revenue  Service  rules  applicable  to the 2002 Plan require
shareholder approval of such Plan in order to issue incentive stock options.

Employment Agreements

         In April 2001,  the Company  entered into an Employment  Agreement with
Steve Laflin to serve as the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer
upon Mr. Camp's  resignation and Mr. Laflin's  election to the President and CEO
position by the Board of Directors.  Mr. Laflin was elected  President and Chief
Executive  Officer  by the Board of  Directors  in  August  2001.  Mr.  Laflin's
agreement provides for a four-year term at a base salary of $120,000. Mr. Laflin
is entitled to bonus  compensation  at the  discretion of the Board of Directors
and the Compensation Committee. In connection with his Employment Agreement, Mr.
Laflin was granted stock options to purchase  1,000,000  shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise  price of $.076 per share,  the fair market value of
the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. Of this amount, 500,000 options
vested  immediately  with the  remainder  vesting in two equal  installments  of
250,000 in April 2002 and April 2003, respectively. Additionally, in March 2002,
Mr. Laflin was granted 10,000,000 new options at $.02 per share.


Compensation of Directors

         Employee   directors   of  the  Company  do  not   receive   additional
compensation  for their  services  as  directors.  Prior to its  initial  public
offering,  the Company did not pay director's  fees but did reimburse  directors
for their expenses. Following the Company's initial public offering, the Company
paid  each  non-employee  director  $500  per  meeting  for  their  services  as
directors.  The  Company  continues  to  reimburse  directors  for all  expenses
incurred  in  connection  with  their  activities  as  directors.   Non-employee
directors and employee  directors of the Company are entitled to receive certain
stock option  awards  under the  Company's  2002 Amended and Restated  Long Term
Incentive Plan.


Certain Transactions

         Mr. Randall O'Kane and Mr. Keith Allberg,  who were originally  elected
as directors at the Company's 2001 annual meeting,  are each founding members of
RadQual,  LLC. The Company and entered into a contract with RadQual  pursuant to
which I3 will  manufacture  flood  sources  for  RadQual.  The  contract  has an
estimated yearly value of $1,300,000 to RadQual.

         The Company believes that all prior  transactions and loans between the
Company and its officers,  directors and 5% or greater stockholders have been on
terms no less favorable than could be obtained by the Company from  unaffiliated
third  parties.  All future  transactions  and loans between the Company and its
officers,  directors  and 5% or  greater  stockholders  will be on terms no less
favorable  than can be obtained by the Company from  unaffiliated  third parties
and will be approved by a majority of the independent,  disinterested  directors
of the Company.


                        REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

         The Compensation Committee currently consists of four (4) members, none
of which serve as executive officers of the Company. No executive officer of the
Company serves or served on the compensation  committee of another entity and no
executive  officer  of the  Company  serves or served as a  director  of another
entity which has or had an executive  officer  serving on the board of directors
of the Company.


                                       10


         Decisions on compensation of the Company's executive officers generally
are made by the  Compensation  Committee  of the  Board,  subject  to review and
approval by the full Board of Directors.  Decisions with respect to awards under
the  Company's  Long  Term  Incentive  Plan  are also  made by the  Compensation
Committee,  subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.  Set forth
below is a report  prepared by Messrs.  O'Kane,  Richart,  Allberg and Grosso in
their  capacity  as  the   Compensation   Committee   addressing  the  Company's
compensation  policies for the fiscal year 2001 as they  affected the  Company's
executive  officers,  including the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Steve
Laflin.

         The  Compensation   Committee's  executive  compensation  policies  are
designed to provide  competitive  levels of compensation that integrate pay with
the  Company's  annual and long term  performance  goals,  review above  average
corporate  performance,  recognize  initiative and achievements,  and assist the
Company in attracting and retaining  qualified  executives.  Targeted  levels of
total executive  compensation  are generally set at levels that the Compensation
Committee  believes  to be  consistent  with others in the  Company's  industry,
although actual compensation levels in any particular year may be above or below
those of the Company's competitors, depending upon the Company's performance.

         The  Compensation  Committee is mindful of grants or awards made to the
Company's  executive  officers under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan. The
Compensation  Committee endorses the position that stock ownership by management
and stock based performance compensation arrangements are beneficial in aligning
management's and shareholders' interest in the enhancement of shareholder value.
Thus, the Compensation  Committee takes into account the stock based elements in
designing the compensation packages of the Company's executive officers.

         In 1993, Congress amended the Internal Revenue Code to ss.162(m).  This
section provides that publicly held companies may not deduct  compensation  paid
to certain  executive  officers in excess of $1,000,000  annually,  with certain
exceptions.  The  Company  has  examined  its  compensation  policies in view of
ss.162(m)  and the  regulations  adopted  by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  to
implement this section and has determined that these  provisions will not affect
the deductibility of executive compensation for fiscal 2001. It is currently not
expected  that any part of the Company's  deduction  for executive  compensation
will be disallowed for fiscal 2002.

         The principal  components of the Company's non-stock based compensation
program  are  base  salary  and  bonus.  Bonuses  are at the  discretion  of the
Compensation  Committee  and  the  board,  based  on  performance  criteria  and
production.  No bonus or other incentive based  compensation  was paid in fiscal
year 2001.


Fiscal 2001 and Executive Officer Compensation

         Mr. Laflin's  compensation  for fiscal year 2001 as President and Chief
Executive  Officer of the Company  consisted solely of his base salary. No bonus
or other incentive based compensation was provided.  The Compensation  Committee
believes  that Mr.  Laflin's  compensation  package  was set at a level  that is
consistent with others in the Company's industry.  Mr. Laflin is not a member of
the  Compensation  Committee,  and  did  not  participate  in  the  Compensation
Committee's decision regarding his compensation.
