This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock which become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock divided, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The computation is based on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s common stock, as reported by the American Stock Exchange, on January 10, 2008.


PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
 
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") requires us to "incorporate by reference" certain of our publicly-filed documents into this prospectus, which means that information included in those documents is considered part of this prospectus. Information that we file with the Commission after the effective date of this prospectus will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future filings made with the Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), until we terminate the effectiveness of this registration statement.
 
The following documents filed with the Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:
 
(a) Our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (filed September 28, 2007), which contains audited financial statements for our latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
 
(b) Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 (filed November 9, 2007).
 
(c) Our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 16, 2007, October 17, 2007, November 8, 2007 and January 14, 2008.
 
(d) The description of our common stock contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission on April 12, 2007, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
 
We will furnish without charge to you, on written or oral request, a copy of any or all of the documents incorporated by reference, other than exhibits to those documents. You should direct any requests for documents to Jonathan Hunt, Chief Financial Officer, IsoRay, Inc., 350 Hills Street, Suite 106, Richland, Washington 99354. 
 
 
 

 
 
Item 4. Description of Securities.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
 
Keller Rohrback, PLC, our counsel, will issue an opinion with respect to the validity of the shares of common stock being offered hereby. Mr. Boatwright, a member of Keller Rohrback, PLC, is a director of the Company. Mr. Boatwright beneficially owned 60,000 shares of our common stock and options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock as of the date of the opinion.
 
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation provide to directors and officers indemnification to the full extent provided by law, and provide that, to the extent permitted by Minnesota law, a director will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our shareholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for certain actions that may not be limited under Minnesota law.
 
The above discussion of Minnesota law and of our articles of incorporation and bylaws is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statutes, articles of incorporation and bylaws.
 
In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify such individuals for any claims made against such individuals based on any act, omission or breach of duty committed while acting as director or officer, except under certain circumstances such as cases involving dishonesty or improper personal benefit. The Company also maintains an insurance policy under which its directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities which might arise out of their relationship with the Company as directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
 
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
i.
To include any propectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 
 

 
 
ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
 
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
