AUDITED 2016 FINAL RESULTS

NOTICE OF AGM

Revenue Increase, Iodine Production Costs Decrease

Iofina, specialists in the exploration and production of iodine and iodine specialty chemical derivatives, announces its audited final results for the 12 months to 31 December 2016. The Group increased revenue in 2016 and has continued to reduce the cost of iodine production at the Group's IOsorb® plants despite challenges of falling iodine prices and brine supply due to regulations and diversion for fracking operations. The Group is expecting to produce 215-230 metric tonnes ("MT") of iodine in the first half of 2017.

2016 Financial Highlights:

· Revenue increased by 11% to US$22.5m (2015: US$20.3m)

· Gross profit of US$2.7m (2015: US$4.3m), despite a 20% fall in iodine prices

· Convertible loan notes restructured and reissued and a US$10 million debt facility added

· Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2016 of US$2.8m

Operational Highlights:

· Produced 474.2 MT of crystalline IOflo® iodine

· Continued reduction in the cost of iodine production

· Halogen derivative producer Iofina Chemical performed well including a record year for non-iodine products

· Global IOflo® iodine sales at record levels for the Group

· Oklahoma seismic activity has declined which reduces further potential regulatory action

Post Period Highlights:

· Iodine prices show signs of stabilising and are moving higher from late 2016 lows

· Iofina Chemical continues to realise strong non-iodine derivative sales and this trend is expected to continue

· Execute an IO#3 solution to increase output and reduce cost, likely at a new site

· Continue to evaluate operating own brine wells and disposal sites

The Company is posting notice of its AGM to shareholders 19 May 2017. The AGM will be held at 200 Strand, London WC2R 1DJ, on 14 June 2017 at 09.30 a.m.

Commenting on today's results, President and CEO Dr. Thomas Becker stated:

"The Board is pleased with the Company's 2016 performance, which saw revenue increase 11%, record sales of IOflo® iodine and record sales of non-iodine derivatives. During the year Iofina and its partners faced regulatory changes affecting brine disposals at Arbuckle disposal wells, and where practical, made improvements to our systems to provide as much iodide rich brine to our production facilities as possible.

In a year where iodine prices continued to fall some iodine mines in Chile have now slowed production or closed altogether. Iofina is committed to controlling existing plant operational costs as well as looking to produce at new sites to expand production and reduce our overall production costs. Importantly, in 2016 Iofina successfully renegotiated and reissued the US$20m convertible debt and added a new US$10m debt facility. This will assist the Group in executing its business objectives.

The Group remains on track to produce 215-230 MT of iodine in the first half of 2017."

STRATEGIC REPORT

Principal activities and review of the business

Iofina plc ("Iofina" or the "Company") is the holding company of a group of companies (the "Group") involved in the exploration and production of iodine with complete vertical integration into the specialty chemical iodine derivatives business. Iodide in brine water is sourced from partnerships with oil and gas operators in the United States and is used as a raw material for the production of iodine at the Group's five IOsorb® plants. Iodine containing or other halogen based products are produced at and sold through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Iofina Chemical, Inc., with the major raw material being the Group's produced iodine. Additionally, the Group's crystalline IOflo® iodine is sold directly to other iodine end-users.

Iodine is a rare element that is produced only in a few countries in the world, with approximately 90 percent produced from Chile (60 percent) and Japan (30 percent, including recycled waste streams). The Group produces iodine in the United States where the overall global iodine production is only a small percentage of the world's total production, but where there is a large consumption (approximately 23%) of the world's iodine by various manufacturers.

Iofina Resources, Inc. is the Group's wholly owned subsidiary which uses proprietary Wellhead Extraction Technology® (WET®) and WET® IOsorb® methods for the production of iodine from brine. The Directors of the Company believe that Iofina's unique business model for the production of iodine by utilizing produced brine from third party oil and gas producers is advantageous for long term raw material sourcing and minimized production and expansion costs.

The main focus of Iofina's current business model is the production of iodine from brine and the creation and sales of halogen derivatives through Iofina Chemical. The Directors feel strongly that diversification of the business while focusing on our core expertise is important. Iofina Resources diversifies its iodine production through five IOsorb® production plants with different brine suppliers in our core area in Oklahoma. Iofina Chemical produces many iodine based products with applications in various industries including agricultural, pharmaceutical, biocides and others. Additional diversification is realised by the production of non-iodine based products. Markets for various products can change, and Iofina Chemical's ability to produce a variety of products allows the Group to take advantage of growing markets while not being as affected by temporarily depressed or declining markets.

Although iodine prices continued to fall in 2016, which had a significant impact on the Group's gross profit margins, global iodine consumption was marginally higher. Demand for the Group's non-iodine halogen derivatives rose in 2016. The Group continues to invest in iodine exploration as Iofina Resources' focus on improving efficiencies and reducing costs in 2016 transitions to growth plans to increase iodine production at new sites in the future. Additional investment in R&D for new products and applications, and expansion of current product capacities at Iofina Chemical, position the Group well for future success.

Key Performance Indicators

The directors review a range of financial indicators to assess and manage the Group's performance, including the following relating to revenue and iodine production:

	Year ended	Year ended
	31 December	31 December
	2016	2015

Revenue from sales of iodine and iodine derivatives	$15,944,042	$14,169,530
Revenue from non-iodine products	$6,548,872	$6,159,527
Total revenue	$22,492,914	$20,329,057
Total pounds of product shipped	2,339,328	1,812,974
Metric tonnes of crystallised iodine produced	474	569
IOsorb® plants in operation (year-end)	5	5

Commentary on the above indicators is to be found in the Chairman's Statement on pages 3 to 6.

Further commentary on the results for the year and the financial position at the year end is to be found in the Financial Review on pages 7 to 8.

Objectives

At the end of 2016 the Group had five operating iodine production facilities in the Group's core area in Oklahoma. While the theoretical capacity of these plants is very high, the practical capacity of the plants is somewhat lower. Practical capacity takes into account multiple causes of downtime, including weather, repairs and maintenance, inadequate brine (low parts per million of iodine, heavily contaminated brine or little to no supply), power outages and other conditions. As we have proven our technology and continue to improve operations at current facilities, more accurate practical capacity operating targets have been realised as well as improvements for maximising practical capacity.

Iofina Resources' continued focus in 2016 was to maximise brine supply, reduce costs, and increase iodine production efficiencies. Regulatory challenges, implemented to reduce seismic activity in the state of Oklahoma, restricted volumes of brine disposal at certain SWDs. This affected our oil and gas partners' operations, and proved to be a major focus in 2016 for the Group and its partners in order to cooperatively ensure the Group's IOsorb® plants were supplied with large volumes of brine. Exploration planning continued in 2016 as Iofina Resources begins its transition from a focus of reducing operational costs to production expansion opportunities.

Timing of future iodine production growth will be dependent on various factors including the stability or increase of iodine prices (which was seen at the end of 2016 and into early 2017), availability of and costs to produce iodine at new sites, partnership agreements, and the regulatory landscape with respect to brine injection. One such opportunity has arisen as a result of the cessation of operations at IO#3 plant described in Note 28. The Group is planning to relocate this plant to a new site with good prospects for significantly increasing overall iodine production at lower cost. The Group is also exploring alternative brine sourcing opportunities which may allow the Group to better control brine supply at future sites. In 2016 the Group restructured its convertible debt and added a $10,000,000 debt facility to allow the Group flexibility for future opportunities.

Iofina Chemical has invested in projects to increase capacities and increase the safety of its processes while reducing production costs of some of the Group's halogen derivatives, and continues to prudently invest in these opportunities. The R&D and the sales groups continue to investigate and create new opportunities for and applications of our existing portfolio of products, as well as identify and produce new halogen based derivatives for the Group in order to grow our halogen derivatives business.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Iofina plc is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could have a material effect on its business, operations or future performance, including but not limited to:

Exploration: Exploration for resources involves significant risk. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of resources can be recovered from the Group's current acreage or that resources will be discovered from the Group's future acreage. The Group continues to evaluate opportunities to integrate its IOSorb® process into its own hydrocarbon operations, as well as others throughout the world. By continuing an aggressive water testing program and active exploration utilising geology and data analytics, we are constantly evaluating new potential locations for iodine extraction in our core area and in other locations.

Environmental: The Group's operations are subject to the environmental risks inherent in the exploration industry. The Group is subject to environmental laws and regulations in connection with all of its operations. Although the Group intends to be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other circumstances that could expose the Group to extensive liability. Accordingly, the Group promotes wherever possible environmental sustainability in its working practices and seeks to minimise, mitigate or remedy any harmful effects from the Group's operations on the environment at each of its operational sites. The regulations on brine injections into the Arbuckle geological formation in the Group's core area due to seismic activity have affected Iofina's partners' brine disposal near some of our sites, and this has reduced some brine availability to Iofina. The Group and its partners have implemented and continue to implement strategies to minimise the effect on the availability of iodine rich brine to Iofina due to these regulations. Moving forward the Group and its partners will continue to monitor these risks and act accordingly. While the frequency and intensity of earthquakes have significantly reduced in Oklahoma, and this reduction is likely a result of regulated changes in brine disposal into the Arbuckle formation, there is still risk of additional earthquakes and regulation moving forward.

Price volatility: The demand for, and prices of, iodine are highly dependent on a variety of factors including international supply and demand, the level of consumer product demand, the price and availability of alternatives, actions taken by governments and global economic and political developments. International prices have fluctuated widely in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Fluctuations in iodine prices and, in particular, a material decline in the price of iodine would have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and operations. Price fluctuations of other major raw materials used by Iofina would likely impact its operations as well. Declining iodine prices in 2016 had a significant impact on margins. Recent stabilisation of iodine prices in late 2016 and increases in iodine prices in early 2017 are a positive sign for the Group but are not guaranteed to continue. The Group stands to benefit directly from increases in iodine prices. Current low natural gas and iodine prices have prevented us from capitalising on the properties in Montana.

Key customers: There are a limited number of potential customers who purchase many of the products of the Group's chemical business, which makes relationships with these customers, as well as the success of those customers' businesses, critical to the Group's success. The loss of one or more major customers could harm the business, operating results and financial condition of the Group. Iofina is continuing to diversify its customer base in its Chemical subsidiary. In addition, Iofina works closely with all of its customers to develop strong relationships, with a significant focus on ensuring that its products and services meet the needs of its customers and are of the highest quality. In 2016, 20 percent (2015: 26 percent) of revenue recognised was attributable to one long term customer, a distributor. Relations with this customer are good.

Key partners: Iofina partners with third party oil and gas producers to process iodine rich brine they extract with oil and gas production. With the recent fluctuation of oil and gas prices in the US, the financial stability of oil and gas producers is less certain than a few years ago. Any changes in operator status is a risk to brine production and availability. The Group has agreements with our partners to reduce any risk of change in status.

Regulation: The businesses are subject to various significant international, federal, state and local regulations currently in effect and scheduled to become effective in the near future, including but not limited to environmental, health and safety and import/export regulations. These regulations are complex, change frequently, can vary from country to country, and have increased over time. Iofina may incur significant expense in order to comply with these regulations or to remedy violations of them.

Any failure by Iofina to comply with applicable government regulations could result in non-compliant portions of our operations being shut down, product recalls or impositions of civil and criminal penalties and, in some cases, prohibition from distributing our products or performing our services until the products and services are brought into compliance, which could significantly affect our operations.

The Group closely monitors regulations across its businesses to ensure that it complies with the relevant laws and regulations. While Iofina does not believe that it is non-compliant with any laws or regulations, any instances of non-compliance would be brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities as soon as possible.

Going concern

The refinancing during the year of the Company's $20,000,000 Convertible Loan Notes and the arrangement of a new $10,000,000 Term Loan Facility are set out in Notes 19 and 20 respectively. On the basis of the terms of these arrangements the directors consider that at its current stage of development the Group does not need to raise additional funds in order to realise its business plan. The Group has prepared forecasts and projections that indicate there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") acknowledges that adhering to rules of good corporate governance is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. All the Directors remain committed to high standards of corporate governance and consider that the Board progressively adopts best practices. The following sections describe how the Board has applied the principles that they consider relevant to a company of Iofina's size and stage of development.

Board structure and committees

The Board currently comprises two executive directors and two non-executive directors. The roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are separate, ensuring a division of responsibilities at the head of the Company. The Non-Executive Chairman conducts Board and shareholder meetings and ensures all directors are properly briefed. The Board is responsible for formulating, reviewing and approving the Company's strategy, budgets and major items of capital expenditure.

Board meetings are scheduled to take place at least quarterly, with additional meetings to review and approve significant transactions. The Board is provided with Board papers before each Board meeting, of which there were five in the year. The Company Secretary's services are available to all members of the Board. If required, the directors are entitled to take independent advice and if the Board is informed in advance, the Company will reimburse the cost of the advice. The appointment and removal of the Company Secretary is a decision for the Board as a whole.

Non-executive directors, with the exception of the Chairman, are appointed on a contract with a three month notice period. The Chairman and the executive directors are appointed on a contract with a twelve month notice period. All directors are subject to re-election. Each year, one third of the directors are subject to re-election by rotation. New directors are subject to re-election at the first AGM after their appointment.

At the year end, the Board comprised the Non-Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive, the Chief Financial Officer, and one other non-executive director.

Remuneration Committee and policy

The Remuneration Committee is composed of two non-executive directors: L J Baller (Chairman), and W D Bellamy. It is responsible for the terms and conditions and remuneration of the executive directors and senior management. The Remuneration Committee's policy is that directors' remuneration be commensurate with services provided by them to the Company. The Remuneration Committee may consult external agencies when ascertaining market salaries. All matters concerning the remuneration of executive directors, including the award of bonuses and share options, are considered by the Remuneration Committee.

The remuneration and terms and conditions of appointment of the non-executive directors are set by the Board. No director or member of the senior management is permitted to participate in discussions or decisions concerning his own remuneration. A member of the Remuneration Committee will be available at the AGM to answer any shareholder questions.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of two non-executive directors: L J Baller (Chairman) and W D Bellamy. The Committee monitors the adequacy of the Group's internal controls and provides the opportunity for the external auditor to communicate directly with the non-executive directors.

The Audit Committee also ensures that the external auditor is independent via the segregation of audit related work from other accounting functions and measures applicable fees with similar auditors.

Relations with shareholders

The Group gives high priority to its communication with shareholders by means of an active investor relations programme. This is achieved through correspondence and extensive corporate information. In addition, the Group visits its main institutional investors on an ongoing basis and makes available to all shareholders, free of charge, its Interim and Annual Reports from the Group's head office and on its website. At the AGM the shareholders are given the opportunity to question members of the Board.

Internal controls

The Board acknowledges its responsibility for the Group's system of internal control, including suitable monitoring procedures. There are inherent limitations in any system of internal control, and accordingly even the most effective system can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance with respect to the preparation of financial information and the safeguarding of assets.

The Group's control environment is the responsibility of the Group's directors and managers at all levels. The Group's organisational structure has clear lines of responsibility. Operating and financial responsibility for subsidiary companies is delegated to the operational management, including key risk assessment. Investment policy, acquisition and disposal proposals and major capital expenditure are authorised and monitored by the Board.

The Group operates a comprehensive budgeting and financial reporting system and, as a matter of routine, compares actual results with budgets, which are approved by the Board.

Management accounts are prepared for the Group on a monthly basis. Material variances from budget are thoroughly investigated. In addition, updated forecasts are prepared, at least quarterly, to reflect actual performance and the revised outlook for the year.

The Board considered the usefulness of establishing an internal audit function and decided, in view of the size of the Group, it was not cost-effective to establish. This will be kept under review.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Group supports the growing awareness of social, environmental and ethical matters when considering business practices. See http://iofina.com/community/social-responsibility for an outline of the policies in place that guide the Group and its employees when dealing with social, environmental and ethical matters in the workplace.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting policies

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The registered office is located at 200 Strand, London, WC2R 1DJ. The principal activities of the Company have been and continue to be investment in subsidiaries engaged in the production of iodine and iodine derivatives, including the arrangement of finance for and the provision of management services to subsidiaries.

a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and IFRS Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') as adopted by the European Union ('EU') and the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

b) New standards and interpretations

New standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards effective in 2016 and adopted by the Group:

Standard description	Date of adoption			Impact on initial application

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle	1 January 2016			The improvements in this Amendment clarify the requirements of IFRSs and eliminate inconsistencies within and between Standards.
Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative	1 January 2016			Amended to further clarify the concept of materiality, namely that it is applicable to the financial statements as a whole, not just the primary statements and that it applies to specific disclosures required by an IFRS and, therefore, an entity does not have to disclose information required by an IFRS if that information would not be material.
Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation	1 January 2016			Clarifies that preparers should not use revenue-based methods to calculate charges for the depreciation or amortisation of items of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets.
Amendments to IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations	1 January 2016			Introduces guidance as to how a joint operator should account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Proposes that a joint operator should apply the relevant principles for business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other relevant IFRSs when accounting for these acquisitions.
Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements		1 January 2016	Restoration of the option to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in the entity's separate financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities		1 January 2016	Clarifies that the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements is available to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity. This clarification extends to the equity method for entities that are subsidiaries and that hold interests in associates and joint ventures. IFRS 12 clarifies that an investment entity is not excluded from the scope of the standard.

The implementation of these standards did not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations, which are effective for reporting periods beginning after the date of these financial statements which have not been adopted early:

Standard description	Date of adoption	Impact on initial application

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle	1 January 2017	The improvements in this Amendment clarify the requirements of IFRSs and eliminate inconsistencies within and between Standards.
Amendments to IAS 12: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses*	1 January 2017	Clarifies deferred tax on unrealised losses generated by debt instruments carried at fair value.
Amendments to IAS 7: Disclosure Initiative *	1 January 2017	The amendments clarify and improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity's financing activities.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments	1 January 2018	Replacement to IAS 39 and is built on a logical, single classification and measurement approach for financial assets which reflects both the business model in which they are operated and their cash flow characteristics. Also addresses the so-called 'own credit' issue and includes an improved hedge accounting model to better link the economics of risk management with its accounting treatment.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers	1 January 2018	Introduces requirements for companies to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Also results in enhanced disclosure about revenue and provides or improves guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and for multiple-element arrangements.
IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures	1 January 2018	Clarifies whether an entity has an investment-by- investment choice for measuring investees at fair value in accordance with IAS 28 by a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust or similar entities including investment linked insurance funds.
Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions	1 January 2018	Amendments to provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations, and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.
Amendments to IFRS 4: Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts	1 January 2018	To address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the forthcoming insurance contracts Standard.
IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration	1 January 2018	Provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance.
IFRS 16 Leases*	1 January 2019	The new standard recognises a leased asset and a lease liability for almost all leases and requires them to be accounted for in a consistent manner. This introduces a single lessee accounting model and eliminates the previous distinction between an operating lease and a finance lease.

*not yet endorsed in the EU

Management is still evaluating these standards but does not currently expect their implementation to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

c) Presentation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the parent company's income statement has not been included in these financial statements.

d) Revenue recognition

Revenue consists of sales of iodine derivatives, iodine, chemicals and ancillary products. Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Group for goods supplied, excluding VAT, rebates and trade discounts.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

The Group manufactures and sells a range of iodine derivatives and specialty chemicals. Sales of goods are recognised when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer. Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the specified location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied and collectability is reasonably assured.

e) Research and development expenditures

Expenditure on research (or the research phase of an internal project) is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Costs that are directly attributable to the development phase of a new customised chemical manufacturing process or development of a natural gas/iodine field are recognised as intangible assets provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

§ completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so it will be available for use or sale;

§ the Group intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

§ the Group has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

§ the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

§ there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

§ the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.

Among other things, this requires that there is a market for the output from the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, the asset will be used in generating such benefits.

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred. In 2016, all research and development expenditures were expensed as incurred.

f) Going concern

g) Basis of consolidation and investments in subsidiary undertakings

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December 2016. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Group obtains and exercises control through voting rights. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the purchase of subsidiaries by the Group. On acquisition, the subsidiary's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, reflecting their condition at the date of acquisition.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Intra-Group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements, unless the losses provide an indication of impairment of the assets transferred.

Amounts reported in the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated in the parent company balance sheet at cost less provision for any impairment losses

h) Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition method involves the recognition of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, regardless of whether they were recorded in the financial statements prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiary are included in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values, which are also used as the basis for subsequent measurement in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration payable in a business combination over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Any excess of identifiable net assets over the fair value of consideration is recognised in profit or loss immediately after acquisition.

i) Foreign currency

The vast majority of the Group's business is denominated in U.S. Dollars, which is the functional currency of the main operating subsidiaries. U.S. Dollars is the presentational currency for the Group financial statements.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date the fair value was determined.

Any exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences on non-monetary items are recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that they relate to a gain or loss on that non-monetary item taken to the statement of changes in equity, otherwise such gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss.

On disposal of a foreign operation for which the presentational and functional currencies were different in previous periods, the cumulative translation differences are transferred to profit and loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. The US Dollar/Pounds Sterling exchange rate averaged 1.324 in 2016 and at 31 December 2016 was 1.234 (2015: 1.476).

j) Intangible assets

Exploration and evaluation costs

All costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities on a project are written off as incurred.

Once a legal right has been obtained, exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised on a project-by-project basis, pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project. Costs incurred include appropriate technical and administrative overheads.

Capitalised exploration costs are carried at historical cost less any impairment losses recognised. If an exploration project is successful, the related expenditures will be transferred to development assets and amortised over the estimated life of the reserves on a unit of production basis.

The recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal thereof.

Undeveloped leasehold costs

Undeveloped leasehold costs relate to the costs of acquiring brine leases in respect of the surface and mineral rights of landowners in areas of interest outside of those currently connected to the Group's operating plants.

These costs are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets and are carried at historical cost less any impairment losses recognised. If areas leased provide brine to operating plants, the related costs are transferred to the relevant plants and amortized over the lives of those plants.

Other intangible assets

Other identifiable intangible assets arose from the acquisition of H&S Chemical in 2009. These assets were valued by an external, independent valuation firm. Based on the type of asset, the useful life of each asset was estimated. The value of each identifiable intangible asset is amortised evenly over its useful life. The following useful lives are applied:

§ WET® patent: 15 years

§ Customer relationships: 10 years

§ Patent portfolio: 8 years

§ EPA registrations: 2 years

Amortisation is included within administrative expenses.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration in a business combination over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

k) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Cost includes purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, such as employee costs relating to construction, site preparation, installation and testing.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the depreciable amount of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life, as follows:

§ Montana Atlantis plant and equipment: 10-20 percent per annum

§ Buildings: 2.5 percent per annum

§ Equipment and machinery:

§ IOSorb plants - 5 percent per annum

§ Vehicles and office equipment - 20 percent per annum

§ Computer equipment - 33 percent per annum

Reviews of the estimated remaining lives and residual values of individual productive assets are made annually.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

l) Financial instruments

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Convertible loan notes

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Interest-bearing loans are recorded initially at their fair value, net of direct transaction costs. Such instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost and finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement, redemption or conversion, are recognised in profit or loss over the term of the instrument using the effective rate of interest.

Instruments where the holder has the option to redeem for cash or convert into a pre-determined quantity of equity shares are classified as compound instruments and presented partly as a liability and partly as equity.

Instruments where the holder has the option to redeem for cash or convert into a variable quantity of equity shares are classified separately as a loan and a derivative liability.

Where conversion results in a fixed number of equity shares, the fair value of the liability component at the date of issue is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. The difference between the proceeds of issue and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded option to convert the liability into equity of the Group, is included in equity. Where conversion is likely to result in a variable quantity of equity shares the related derivative liability is valued and included in liabilities.

The interest expense on the liability component is calculated by applying the prevailing market interest rate for similar nonconvertible debt to the instrument. The difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying value of the convertible loan note.

Derivative liabilities are revalued at fair value at the balance sheet date, and changes in the valuation amounts are credited or charged to the profit and loss account.

Financial assets

Cash and cash equivalents represent short term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of fewer than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. At the end of 2016 and 2015, all cash accounts were in 100 percent liquid accounts.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

m) Impairment

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, that asset is reviewed for impairment. An asset's carrying value is written down to its estimated recoverable amount (being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) if that is less than the asset's carrying amount.

Impairment reviews for exploration and evaluation costs are carried out on a project by project basis, with each project representing a potential single cash generating unit. An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment arise, typically when one of the following circumstances applies:

i) unexpected geological occurrences that render the resource uneconomic;

ii) title to the asset is compromised;

iii) variations in prices that render the project uneconomic; or

iv) variations in the currency of operation.

Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combinations and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors goodwill.

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. To determine the value in use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect their respective risk profiles as assessed by management.

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

n) Equity

Equity comprises the following:

§ "Share capital" represents the nominal value of equity shares.

§ "Share premium" represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses for the share issue.

§ "Share-based payment reserve" represents the cumulative fair value of options and warrants issued by the Company and recognised in profit and loss.

§ "Equity reserve" represents the equity component assigned to the compound financial instrument after deducting the liability component of the instrument.

§ "Retained earnings" represents retained profits or accumulated losses.

§ "Foreign currency reserve" represents the cumulative differences arising from translation of foreign operations.

§ "Distributable reserves" represents the amount of equity that may be paid out as dividends.

o) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Costs of ordinarily interchangeable items are assigned using the first in, first out cost formula. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. When inventory is sold the cost is included in Cost of Sales on the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

p) Taxation

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss is the tax currently payable based on taxable profit for the year and deferred tax not recognised directly in equity.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward, as well as other income tax credits to the Group, are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets according to the likelihood of their recoverability in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no discounting. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying deductible temporary differences will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

q) Operating leases

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

r) Share-based payments

The cost of equity settled transactions is measured at fair value at the grant date as measured by use of the Black Scholes model. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.

Charges made to profit or loss, in respect to share-based payments, are credited to the share-based payment reserve.

s) Segment reporting

In identifying its operating segments, management follows the Group's service lines, which represent the main products provided by the Group and are based on the information presented to the chief operating decision maker, which is the Board. The activities of the Halogen Derivatives and Iodine segment include the production of raw iodine and the production of iodine derivatives and other non-iodine based chemical derivatives. The Montana segment includes a) the Atlantis Field project for the exploration and production of natural gas, iodine and water for use in various applications, and b) the Montana Water Depot project, which includes large volumes of water retrieved, stored and shipped to customers in close proximity to be used mainly for fracking.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately, as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm's length prices.

Corporate overheads, assets and liabilities, which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment, are not allocated to a segment in arriving at segment result.

2. Significant judgements and estimates

Judgements and estimates are regularly evaluated based on historical experience, current circumstances and expectations of future events.

The critical estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The resulting accounting estimate may not equal the related actual result, and management must also make judgements about current circumstances and expectations of future events. Significant judgements made by management include:

a. Intangible and tangible assets are tested for impairment where there is an indication that they may be impaired. In accordance with IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets, an intangible or tangible asset is considered impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount on an individual cash generating unit basis. The recoverable amounts of relevant cash generating units are based on value in use calculations using management's best estimate of future business performance. In carrying out impairment testing, management will make a number of significant estimates in relation to the assumptions incorporated into their calculations. This will include factors such as growth rates, discount rates and inflation. Details and carrying values of intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment are provided in notes 10, 11 and 12. Details of impairment reviews carried out are set out in note 12.

b. Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable and amortisable assets at each reporting date. The carrying amounts are analysed in notes 10 and 12. Actual results, however, may vary due to technical obsolescence, particularly relating to software and IT equipment. Management's estimate of the useful lives of plant and equipment as detailed in note 1k are common life expectancies for the industry. In particular, the expected useful life attributed to each IOsorb® plant is 20 years. Changes in the expected level of usage or other technological developments could impact the life and residual value of these assets.

c. Certain intangible and tangible assets are regarded as Exploration and Evaluation Assets. Details of these assets are shown in notes 10 and 12. The principal assets so treated are those relating to the Montana Atlantis Field, which has an aggregate carrying amount of $3,729,927, and the basis of the Group's judgement as regards the classification of those assets is set out in note 12. An impairment review of these assets was carried out and it was determined that the recoverable amount exceeded the aggregate carrying amount of $3,729,927, and therefore no impairment was considered to be required. The Group's rationale for carrying out this review and details of the assumptions, methodology and sensitivities relating to the calculation of the recoverable amount are set out in note 12.

d. The carrying amounts of the parent company's investment in and loans to its subsidiary Iofina Resources, Inc. total $44,410,553 whereas carrying amounts of the subsidiary's net assets excluding loans from the parent company amount to $19,713,738. There is therefore a shortfall of $24,696,815 between the parent company carrying amounts and the carrying amounts of the net assets of Iofina Resources, Inc., reflecting accumulated losses to date in that company. In view of this shortfall an assessment has been made of the present values of the cash flows related to the projects being undertaken by Iofina Resources, Inc. to determine whether any impairment losses should be recognised. The assets concerned are the IOsorb® plants in Oklahoma and the Montana Atlantis Field project. These assessments assume 20 year project lives and discount rates of 6.5% and 8% respectively have been used. Initial iodine prices assumed are within the range of market prices experienced by the Group at the end of 2016. The Group has concluded that the present values of the cash flows related to these assets exceed the shortfall in net asset carrying amounts of $24,696,814, and therefore there is no need to recognise any impairment losses.

e. The derivative liability relating to share conversion rights attaching to the convertible loan notes has been valued using the Black Scholes model.

3. Segment reporting

a. Business segments - The Group reports its business segments in line with IFRS 8 - Operating Segments, which requires reporting based on the information that is presented to the chief operating decision maker. This is determined to be the Board. The Board receives consolidated management accounts for the companies within the Group. The costs of Iofina plc are included within unallocated corporate expenses.

The Group has accumulated tax losses of approximately $30,000,000 (2015: $27,400,000) that may be deductible from future taxable profits subject to agreement with the relevant tax authorities. To the extent tax losses are not utilised to offset current income taxes they will begin to expire in 2026.

A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of losses due to uncertainty over the timing of the recovery of these tax losses.

9. Loss per share

The calculation of loss per ordinary share is based on a loss attributable to shareholders of $3,664,274 (2015: $2,976,488) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding of 127,569,398 (2015: 127,569,398). Due to the loss in the year, there is no difference between the diluted loss per share and the basic loss per share because the 1,075,000 outstanding share options and the two convertible notes (see note 19) would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and would therefore not be dilutive under the terms of IAS 33.

Other intangible assets were acquired in the acquisition of H&S Chemical in 2009.

WET® Patent

The WET® Patent technology employs two different iodine extraction methods depending on brine chemistry for optimal efficiency. We utilised a with and without analysis, a variation of the discounted cash-flow method, to estimate the fair value of a WET® Patent at date of acquisition. The methodology compared the cash flow generating capacity of Iofina Chemical assuming it was operating without the benefit of the WET® Patent to the projected cash flow with the benefit of the patent. The contractual life of the patent is in excess of 20 years; however, the useful life of the patent was estimated at 15 years based on the following:

§ Management's expectation for the expected viability of the technology

§ Management's expectations regarding the timing of significant substitute technology

§ The lack of comparable substitute technologies as of the valuation date

§ The remaining amortization period is 7.5 years

Customer relationships

The amount capitalised relates to the acquisition of Iofina Chemical and the then existing customer base. The initial useful life was 10 years and the remaining amortization period is approximately 2.5 years.

Patent portfolio

This includes all patents held by Iofina Chemical related to the production of its iodine derivatives, specifically IPBC. The fair value of the general patent portfolio was estimated using the relief from royalty cash-flow methodology of the income approach. Based on our search for technology licensing agreements in the marketplace, we determined that a royalty rate of 1.5 percent was appropriate. An 8 year life was applied to the patent portfolio based on the historical life of the portfolio as well as the intended future use of the asset.

11. Goodwill (Group)

Carrying amounts
At 31 December 2016, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014		$3,087,251

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of H&S Chemical in 2009 and is wholly allocated to the Iofina Chemical cash generating unit of the Group. Goodwill impairment testing is conducted annually, based on projected cash flow to be generated.

The Chemical business has been in operation for 31 years. Management assumed continued revenue growth based on a five year historical trend and an improvement on margins associated with recovering commodity prices and ongoing cost improvements through vertical integration of raw iodine supply. A material change in supply costs or demand for key products could indicate the need for impairment. However, management believes that 25 years of cash flow generation should be used in the impairment review based on the historical adaptability of the business. For impairment testing, cash flows discounted at 10% per annum indicate that the goodwill valuation can be supported.

Montana Atlantis Field exploration and evaluation carrying amounts of $1,322,307 relate primarily to drilling and other equipment acquired, and facilities and pipelines constructed, during the initial phase of the Group's Atlantis Field iodine/natural gas project in Montana. Additional carrying amounts of this project of $2,407,620 are recorded as intangible assets as detailed in Note 10.

The Group considers that the aggregate carrying amounts of $3,729,927 of this project are appropriately classified as exploration and evaluation assets, on the basis that technical feasibility and commercial viability have not yet been established. In particular, the subsurface information from wells drilled relates to only a minor proportion of the projected reservoir area that is based on an independent reserve report. Secondly, the current development model calls for the utilisation of electric submersible pumps. This technology, while proven in other oil and gas operations, has not so far been applied in the Atlantis Field. Further substantial investment is required to reduce these key risks sufficiently to move these assets from exploration and evaluation to development.

In view of a further decline in iodine prices and continuing low natural gas prices in 2016, the Group considered it appropriate to carry out an impairment review of the Atlantis Field project as of 31 December 2016. For this purpose the project is regarded as a single cash generating unit, and the review was done by updating the value in use model used for the impairment review carried out as of 31 December 2015. The recoverable amount calculated exceeds the aggregate carrying amounts of the project of $3,729,927, and therefore no impairment is considered to be required.

Key assumptions in the value in use model are:

· Barrels of produced water per well

· Iodine concentration in produced water

· Iodine recovery rate

· Iodine price

· Gas water ratio

· Natural Gas price

The model calculations are based on experience from the production of gas and iodine in the initial phase of the project. Costs and prices have been updated to reflect current market prices. The iodine price assumed is within the range of market prices experienced by the Group at the end of 2016. A discount rate of 8 percent has been used based on the Group's historical cost of capital as well as the reduced risk of the project based on the results from the initial phase. A project life of 20 years has been used, on the basis of the recoverable amount of iodine and natural gas determined by an independent reserve report and the assumptions about recoverability described above. A 10 percent decrease in the iodine price or a 20 percent decrease in the natural gas price would cause the net present value derived from the model to be close to the aggregate carrying amounts of the project of $3,729,927.

Montana Water Depot carrying amounts of $419,263 at 31 December 2015 primarily comprise the cost of land and other property rights, and surveying and engineering services, related to the Fresh Water Depot project in Montana that was operated by Atlantis Water Solutions ("AWS"). In August 2016 the Group received a ruling on the Judicial Review hearing regarding AWS' water permit application, which confirmed the denial of the permit. At this time the Group will no longer provide any resources towards this non-core project. Therefore a 100% impairment provision of $469,263 has been made in respect of all amounts capitalised that are specific to the project.

Included in Equipment and Machinery are carrying amounts of $159,505 in respect tangible assets at undeveloped leasehold sites, which are regarded as exploration and evaluation assets.

14. Financial instruments

The Board of directors determines, as required, the degree to which it is appropriate to use financial instruments to mitigate risks. The main risks for which such instruments may be appropriate are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity risk. The Group's principal financial asset is cash, which is invested with major banks. The Group has two convertible bonds and no other borrowings. Future principal maturities as of 31 December 2016 for the long-term convertible debt obligations are as follows:

Interest rate risk

Surplus funds are invested at either floating rates of interest or short-term fixed rates. The benefit of fixing rates for longer term is kept under review, having regard to forecast cash requirements and the levels of return available. Given the short term nature of Iofina's surplus funds, the Group has limited interest rate risk. As of 31 December 2016, all surplus funds were invested in checking and savings accounts that had no terms and were 100% liquid.

The interest rate on the $20,000,000 Convertible Loan Notes is fixed at 5% per annum. The annual interest payable on the Notes is $1,000,000. At the Company's discretion the interest may be rolled up and capitalised. At 31 December 2016 all interest payable from the date of issue of the Notes, amounting to $255,527, had been rolled up and capitalised.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has potential transactional currency exposure in respect of items denominated in foreign currencies relating to the Group's administration in the UK. The Group occasionally makes use of dual currency deposits, derivative instruments that combine a money market deposit with a currency option, as a hedge against foreign currency risk. The balance of cash held in foreign currency was $105,405 as of year-end.

The Group holds its cash balances in US Dollars to the extent considered appropriate to minimize the effect of adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Currently, sales transactions are denominated in US Dollars, which is the operating currency. Other impacts of foreign currency risk are not deemed material to these financial statements.

Credit risk

The maximum exposure is reflected by the carrying amount of financial assets. Because the counterparties to the majority of Iofina's financial instruments are prime financial institutions, Iofina does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. Additionally, the Group is exposed to marginal credit risk in the form of receivables for product sales. Credit risk in this regard is mitigated through long-term customer payment history, extensive credit analysis of large purchasers, use of letters of credit, and the requirement for partial or total payment prior to the shipment for some customers.

Liquidity risk

The Group raises funds as required on the basis of forecast expenditure and cash inflows over the next 12 months. When necessary, the scope and rate of activity are adjusted to take account of the funds available.

Commodity risk

The Group is exposed to movements in the price of raw iodine. Sales of iodine based products were $15,944,042 (2015: $14,169,530). Iodine is produced internally and is the most significant cost component for iodine based products.

Derivative liability valuation risk

It is possible that future valuations of the derivative liability attaching to share conversion rights forming part of the convertible loan notes could increase significantly, resulting in substantial charges to the profit and loss account.

The loan balance at 29 September 2016 is stated at fair value on the basis of an effective interest rate of 15.3%. The balance at 31 December is stated on the basis of amortised cost and includes capitalised interest.

The 5 per cent secured convertible loan notes include share conversion rights where the calculation of the number of conversion shares depends on the USD to GBP exchange rate. The share conversion rights have consequently been valued separately at fair value as an embedded derivative liability in accordance with International Accounting Standard 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Any or all of the initial amount of $20 million due under the convertible loan notes may be converted upon 28 days notice into Ordinary Shares of the Company on the basis of converting one third of the total amount at 18p per share, one third at 25p per share, and one third at 32p per share. These conversion rights have been valued using the Black Scholes model and the following inputs:

Valuation date	Share price	USD/GBP rate	Number of Shares	Risk free rate	Volatility
29 September 2016	13.75p	1.30	65,084,563	0.80%	86%
31 December 2016	10.13p	1.23	68,550,399	0.80%	85%

The $20,000,000 6 per cent convertible loan notes outstanding at 31 December 2015, of $15,000,000 and $5,000,000 respectively, were refinanced as of 29 September 2016 by the issue by the Company of new 5 per cent convertible secured loan notes in the same amounts to the same note holders. The principal terms and conditions attaching to the new notes are:

a) The notes may be repaid at any time without penalty by the Company, and are redeemable at par together with capitalised interest on 1 June 2019;

b) Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at 5 per cent per annum, or at the Company's discretion may be rolled up and capitalised;

c) The notes may be converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company upon 28 days notice by the note holders, in three equal tranches at 18p, 25p and 32p per share. Capitalised interest may also be converted at 32p per share;

d) The Company may require conversion of any or all of the notes into Ordinary Shares following the publicly quoted closing price per Ordinary Share being 50p or more for at least five consecutive trading days;

e) The notes are secured against the assets of the Group, by a share pledge and a debenture granted by the Company, and by further pledges, a security agreement and guarantees granted by certain subsidiaries of the Group.

20. Term loan facility

On 29 September 2016 the Company entered into an agreement for a term loan facility of up to $10,000,000 with the holder of the $15,000,000 convertible loan note. The principal terms and conditions attaching to the facility are:

a) The facility is to be utilised for capital expenditure and working capital purposes in connection with the Company's existing business activities;

b) The Company may draw down up to $3,000,000 of the facility on request. Drawdowns in excess of $3,000,000 are dependent upon satisfactory completion of a due diligence exercise by the lender;

c) Amounts outstanding under the facility may be repaid at any time without penalty by the Company, and are repayable in full together with capitalised interest on 1 June 2019;

d) Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at 6 per cent per annum, or at the Company's discretion may be rolled up and capitalised;

e) Amounts outstanding under the facility are secured against the assets of the Group, by a share pledge and a debenture granted by the Company, and by further pledges, a security agreement and guarantees granted by certain subsidiaries of the Group.

f) While amounts are outstanding under the facility the Company is not to make payments to shareholders or other debt providers, including amounts outstanding under the convertible loan notes, without the lender's consent.

At 31 December 2016 there were no amounts outstanding under the facility. Since year end the Company has drawn down $1,000,000 of the facility.

Iofina and the environment

Iofina promotes, wherever possible, environmental sustainability in its working practices and seeks to minimise, mitigate, or remedy any harmful effects from the Group's operations on the environment at each of its operational sites. To continue that effort through all aspects of business, this report has been produced to minimise its effect on the environment by using thinner paper, fewer pages, smaller type set, and non‐colour printing as much as possible. As part of this effort Iofina is trying to move attention to its online annual reports available at www.iofina.com. By being a better steward of the environment, Iofina saves valuable shareholder funds instead of producing glossy magazine pages throughout the whole document.
