Company
      Overview and Principal Products and Services
    Perma-Fix
      Environmental Services, Inc. (the Company, which may be referred to as we,
      us,
      or our), an environmental and technology know-how company, is a Delaware
      corporation organized in 1990, and is engaged through its subsidiaries,
      in:
    | · | Nuclear
                Waste Management Services (“Nuclear Segment”), which
                includes: | 
| o | Treatment,
                storage, processing and disposal of mixed waste (which is waste that
                contains both low-level radioactive and hazardous waste) including
                on and
                off-site waste remediation and
                processing; | 
| o | Nuclear,
                low-level radioactive, and mixed waste treatment, processing and
                disposal;
                and | 
| o | Research
                and development of innovative ways to process low-level radioactive
                and
                mixed waste. | 
| · | Consulting
                Engineering Services (“Engineering Segment”), which
                includes: | 
| o | Consulting
                services regarding broad-scope environmental issues, including
                environmental management programs, regulatory permitting, compliance
                and
                auditing, landfill design, field testing and
                characterization. | 
On
      May
      18, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of our Industrial
      Segment. Our Industrial Segment provides treatment, storage, processing, and
      disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, wastewater management services,
      and environmental services, which includes emergency response, vacuum services,
      marine environmental and other remediation services. The decision to sell our
      Industrial Segment is based on our belief that our Nuclear Segment represents
      a
      sustainable long-term growth driver of our business. During 2007, we have
      entered into several letters of intent to sell various portions of our
      Industrial Segment. All of the letters of intent have expired or terminated
      without being completed, except: we completed, on January 8, 2008, the sale
      of
      substantially all of the assets of Perma-Fix Maryland, Inc. (“PFMD”) for
      $3,825,000 in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment during 2008, and
      assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities of PFMD, and during March 2008,
      we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Perma-Fix of Dayton,
      Inc. (“PFD”) for approximately $2,143,000 in cash, subject to certain working
      capital adjustments after the closing, plus assumption by the buyer of certain
      of PFD’s liabilities and obligations, (including, without limitation, certain
      obligations under the Settlement Agreement entered into by PFD in connection
      with the settlement of plaintiff’s claims under the Fisher Lawsuit, as discussed
      and defined in “Legal Proceedings”, and approximately $562,000 in PFD’s
      obligations for and relating to supplemental environmental projects that PFD
      is
      obligated to perform under the Consent Decree entered into with the federal
      government in settlement of the Government’s Lawsuit as discussed and defined in
“Legal Proceedings”) in connection with the Fisher Lawsuit. We are negotiating
      the sale of Perma-Fix South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”). We anticipate that the sale
      of PFSG will be completed by end of May 2008. The terms of the sale of PFSG
      are
      subject to being finalized. We are attempting to sell the other companies and/or
      operations within our Industrial Segment, but as of the date of this report,
      we
      have not entered into any agreements regarding these other companies or
      operations within our Industrial Segment.
    At
      May
      25, 2007, the Industrial Segment met the held for sale criteria under Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the
      Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, and therefore, certain assets and
      liabilities of the Industrial Segment are reclassified as discontinued
      operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we have ceased depreciation
      of the Industrial Segment’s long-lived assets classified as held for sale. The
      results of operations and cash flows of the Industrial Segment have been
      reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations
      for
      all periods presented.
    We
      believe that the divestiture of certain facilities within our Industrial Segment
      has not occurred within the anticipated time period due to the current state
      of
      our economy which has impacted potential buyers’ ability to obtain financing. In
      addition, the original letter of intent entered between us and a potential
      buyer
      included the majority of the companies within our Industrial Segment. This
      sale
      did not materialize, leading
    1
        us
      to
      pursue the potential sale of each company individually. Although this process
      has taken more time than anticipated for numerous reasons, we continue to market
      the facilities within our Industrial Segment for eventual sale. 
    Our
      present objective is to focus on the efficient operation of our existing
      facilities within our Nuclear and Engineering Segments, evaluate strategic
      acquisitions within the Nuclear Segments, and to continue the research and
      development of innovative technologies for the treatment of nuclear waste,
      mixed
      waste and industrial waste. On June 13, 2007, we completed the acquisition
      of
      Nuvotec USA, Inc. (k/n/a Perma-Fix of Northwest, Inc. – “PFNW”) and its
      wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific EcoSolutions, Inc (PEcoS) (k/n/a Perma-Fix
      of
      Northwest Richland, Inc. – “PFNWR”) for $17.3 million. PFNWR is a hazardous
      waste, low level radioactive waste and mixed waste (containing both hazardous
      waste and low level radioactive waste) management company based in Richland,
      Washington, adjacent to the Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Hanford facility.
      This acquisition provides us with a number of strategic benefits. Foremost,
      this
      acquisition secured PFNWR’s radioactive and hazardous waste permits and
      licenses, which further solidified our position within the mixed waste industry.
      Additionally, the PFNWR facility is located adjacent to the Hanford site, which
      represents one of the largest environmental clean-up projects in the nation
      and
      is expected to be one of the most expansive of DOE’s nuclear weapons’ facilities
      to remediate. In addition, the acquisition of PFNWR facility introduced our
      west
      coast presence and increases our treatment capacity for radioactive only waste.
      For 2007, PFNWR generated $8,439,000 in revenue, which represents 15.6% of
      our
      consolidated revenue from continuing operations. 
    We
      service research institutions, commercial companies, public utilities and
      governmental agencies nationwide. The distribution channels for our services
      are
      through direct sales to customers or via intermediaries. 
    We
      were
      incorporated in December of 1990. Our executive offices are located at 8302
      Dunwoody Place, Suite 250, Atlanta, Georgia 30350.

Segment
      Information and Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
      Sales
    During
      2007, we were engaged in two operating segments. Pursuant to FAS 131, we define
      an operating segment as:
    | · | a
                  business activity from which we may earn revenue and incur
                  expenses; | 
| · | whose
                  operating results are regularly reviewed by the president and chief
                  operating officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated
                  and
                  assess its performance; and | 
| · | for
                  which discrete financial information is
                  available. | 
We
      therefore define our operating segments as each business line that we operate.
      These segments, however, exclude the corporate and operation headquarters,
      which
      do not generate revenue and our Industrial Segment, our discontinued operations,
      as discussed above. 
    2
        Most
      of
      our activities are conducted nationwide. We do not own any foreign operations
      and we had no export sales during 2007. 
    Operating
      Segments
    We
      have
      two operating segments, which represent each business line that we operate.
      The
      Nuclear Segment, which operates four facilities (including our newly acquired
      PFNWR facility, as mentioned below), and the Consulting Engineering Services
      Segment as described below:
    NUCLEAR
      WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, which includes nuclear, low-level radioactive, mixed
      (waste containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive constituents)
      hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, processing and disposal services
      through four uniquely licensed (Nuclear Regulatory Commission or state
      equivalent) and permitted (Environmental Protection Agency or state equivalent)
      treatment and storage facilities. The presence of nuclear and low-level
      radioactive constituents within the waste streams processed by this segment
      creates different and unique operational, processing and permitting/licensing
      requirements, as discussed below.
    Perma-Fix
      of Florida, Inc. (“PFF”), located in Gainesville, Florida, specializes in the
      storage, processing, and treatment of certain types of wastes containing both
      low-level radioactive and hazardous wastes, which are known in the industry
      as
      mixed waste (“mixed waste”). PFF is one of the first facilities nationally to
      operate under both a hazardous waste permit and a radioactive materials license,
      from which it has built its reputation based on its ability to treat difficult
      waste streams using its unique processing technologies and its ability to
      provide related research and development services. PFF has substantially
      increased the amount and type of mixed waste and low level radioactive waste
      that it can store and treat. Its mixed waste services have included the
      treatment and processing of waste Liquid Scintillation Vials (LSVs) since the
      mid 1980's. LSVs are used for the counting of certain radionuclides. The LSVs
      are generated primarily by institutional research agencies and biotechnical
      companies. The business has expanded into receiving and handling other types
      of
      mixed waste, primarily from the nuclear utilities, commercial generators,
      prominent pharmaceutical companies, the Department of Energy (“DOE”) and other
      government facilities as well as select mixed waste field remediation projects.
      PFF also continues to receive and process certain hazardous and non-hazardous
      waste streams as a compliment to its expanded nuclear and mixed waste processing
      activities.
    Diversified
      Scientific Services, Inc. (“DSSI”) located in Kingston, Tennessee, specializes
      in the storage, processing, and destruction of certain types of mixed waste.
      DSSI, like PFF, is one of only a few facilities nationally to operate under
      both
      a hazardous waste permit and a radioactive materials license. Additionally,
      DSSI
      is the only commercial facility of its kind in the U.S. that is currently
      operating and licensed to destroy liquid organic mixed waste, through such
      a
      treatment unit. DSSI provides mixed waste disposal services for nuclear
      utilities, commercial generators, prominent pharmaceutical companies, and
      agencies and contractors of the U.S. government, including the DOE and the
      Department of Defense (“DOD”). We are currently working toward permitting the
      facility for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) destruction.
    East
      Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation (“M&EC”), located in Oak Ridge,
      Tennessee, is another mixed waste facility. M&EC also operates under both a
      hazardous waste permit and radioactive materials license. M&EC represents
      the largest of our four mixed waste facilities, covering 150,000 sq. ft., and
      is
      located in leased facilities at the DOE East Tennessee Technology Park. In
      addition to providing mixed waste treatment services to commercial generators,
      nuclear utilities and various agencies and contractors of the U.S. Government,
      including the DOD, M&EC was awarded three contracts to treat DOE mixed waste
      by Bechtel-Jacobs Company, LLC, DOE’s Environmental Program Manager, which
      covers the treatment of mixed waste throughout all DOE facilities. Two of these
      contracts have been extended through September 2009. In 2007, M&EC completed
      its facility expansion (“SouthBay”) to treat DOE special process wastes from the
      DOE Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant located in Piketon, Ohio under the
      subcontract awarded by LATA/Parallax Portsmouth LLC to our Nuclear Segment
      in
      2006. LATA/Parallax performs
    3
        environmental
      remediation services, including groundwater cleanup and waste management
      activities, under contract to DOE at the Portsmouth site. 
PFNWR,
      which we acquired in June 2007, is located in Richland, Washington. PFNWR is
      a
      permitted hazardous, low level radioactive and mixed waste treatment, storage
      and disposal facility located at the Hanford U.S. DOE site in the eastern part
      of the state of Washington. The DOE’s Hanford site is subject to one of the
      largest, most complex, and most costly DOE clean up plans. The strategic
      addition of PFNWR facility provides the Company with immediate access to treat
      some of the most complex nuclear waste streams in the nation. PFNWR
      predominately provides waste treatment services to contractors of government
      agencies, in addition to commercial generators. 
    For
      2007,
      the Nuclear business (including $8,439,000 in revenue of our PFNWR facility)
      accounted for $51,704,000 (or 95.6%) of total revenue from continuing
      operations, as compared to $49,423,000 (or 93.6%) of total revenue for 2006.

      Segment's contracts with the federal government or with others as a
      subcontractor to the federal government.
    CONSULTING
      ENGINEERING SERVICES, which provides environmental engineering and regulatory
      compliance consulting services through one subsidiary, as discussed
      below.
    Schreiber,
      Yonley & Associates (“SYA”) is located in Ellisville, Missouri. SYA
      specializes in environmental management programs, permitting, compliance and
      auditing, in addition to landfill design, field investigation, testing and
      monitoring. SYA clients are primarily industrial, including many within the
      cement manufacturing industry. SYA also provides the necessary support,
      compliance and training as required by our operating facilities. 
    During
      2007, environmental engineering and regulatory compliance consulting services
      accounted for approximately $2,398,000 (or 4.4%) of our total revenue from
      continuing operations, as compared to approximately $3,358,000 (or 6.4%) in
      2006. See “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further
      details.
    Discontinued
      Operations
    As
      stated
      above, our Industrial Segment, which provides management of hazardous waste,
      non-hazardous waste, and waste water, are classified as discontinued operations.
      At the beginning of 2007, the Industrial Segment consisted of six (6) operating
      companies, as well as two non-operational companies. As stated above, during
      the
      first quarter of 2008, we sold PFMD and PFD and are attempting to sell the
      remaining companies/operations within the Industrial Segment. 
    Our
      discontinued operations generated $30,407,000, $35,148,000 and $41,489,000
      of
      revenue in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. 
    Importance
      of Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Technology
    We
      do not
      believe we are dependent on any particular trademark in order to operate our
      business or any significant segment thereof. We have received registration
      to
      the year 2010 and 2012 for the service marks “Perma-Fix” and “Perma-Fix
      Environmental Services,” respectively, by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
      Office.
    We
      are
      active in the research and development (“R&D”) of technologies that allow us
      to address certain of our customers' environmental needs. To date, our R&D
      efforts have resulted in the granting of six active patents and the filing
      of
      several pending patent applications. Our flagship technology, the Perma-Fix
      Process, is a proprietary, cost effective, treatment technology that converts
      hazardous waste into non-hazardous material. Subsequently, we developed the
      Perma-Fix II process, a multi-step treatment process that converts hazardous
      organic components into non-hazardous material. The Perma-Fix II process
      is
    4
        particularly
      important to our mixed waste strategy. We believe that at least one third of
      DOE
      mixed waste contains organic components.
    The
      Perma-Fix II process is designed to remove certain types of organic hazardous
      constituents from soils or other solids and sludges (“Solids”) through a
      water-based system. Until development of this Perma-Fix II process, we were
      not
      aware of a relatively simple and inexpensive process that would remove the
      organic hazardous constituents from Solids without elaborate and expensive
      equipment or expensive treating agents. Due to the organic hazardous
      constituents involved, the disposal options for such materials are limited,
      resulting in high disposal cost when there is a disposal option available.
      By
      reducing the organic hazardous waste constituents in the Solids to a level
      where
      the Solids meet Land Disposal Requirements, the generator's disposal options
      for
      such waste are substantially increased, allowing the generator to dispose of
      such waste at substantially less cost. We began commercial use of the Perma-Fix
      II process in 2000. However, changes to current environmental laws and
      regulations could limit the use of the Perma-Fix II process or the disposal
      options available to the generator. See “—Permits and Licenses” and “—Research
      and Development.”
    Permits
      and Licenses
    Waste
      management companies are subject to extensive, evolving and increasingly
      stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Such
      federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations govern our
      activities regarding the treatment, storage, processing, disposal and
      transportation of hazardous, non-hazardous and radioactive wastes, and require
      us to obtain and maintain permits, licenses and/or approvals in order to conduct
      certain of our waste activities. Failure to obtain and maintain our permits
      or
      approvals would have a material adverse effect on us, our operations and
      financial condition. The permits and licenses have a term ranging from one
      to
      ten years and, provided that we maintain a reasonable level of compliance,
      renew
      with minimal effort and cost. Historically, there have been no compelling
      challenges to the permit and license renewals. Such permits and licenses,
      however, represent a potential barrier to entry for possible competitors.
    Operating
      Segments:
    PFF
      operates its hazardous, mixed and low-level radioactive waste activities under
      a
      RCRA Part B permit and a radioactive materials license issued by the State
      of
      Florida. 
    DSSI
      operates hazardous, mixed and low-level radioactive waste activities under
      a
      RCRA Part B permit and a radioactive materials license issued by the State
      of
      Tennessee. We are working toward permitting our DSSI facility for PCB
      destruction. The permit is expected by mid year 2008.
    M&EC
      operates hazardous and low-level radioactive waste activities under a RCRA
      Part
      B permit and a radioactive materials license issued by the State of
      Tennessee.
    PFNWR
      operates its hazardous, mixed and low-level radioactive waste activities under
      a
      RCRA Part B permit and a radioactive materials license issued by the State
      of
      Washington.
    The
      combination of a RCRA Part B hazardous waste permit and a radioactive materials
      license, as held by PFF, DSSI and M&EC, and PFNWR are very difficult to
      obtain for a single facility and make these facilities very unique.
    Perma-Fix
      of South Georgia, Inc (“PFSG”)
    Our
      internal consulting firm, SYA, concluded that a certain air permit at PFSG
      had
      expired. PFSG is part of the Industrial Segment, which has been classified
      as a
      discontinued operation. An inquiry to the Georgia Environmental Protection
      Division (“GaEPD”) resulted in their determination that the permit was still
      valid. However, since changes to the operations of the facility had occurred
      since approval of the air permit, the Company submitted a revised permit
      application in January 2008. The review of the submitted revised permit
      application with GaEPD indicated that the changes were deemed relatively minor,
      as determined by
    5
        GaEPD.
      GaEPD has subsequently notified PFSG that the application would be given a
      low
      priority for review. 
    Seasonality
    Historically,
      we have experienced reduced activities and related billable hours throughout
      the
      November and December holiday periods within our Engineering Segment. The DOE
      and DOD represent major customers for the Nuclear Segment. In conjunction with
      the federal government’s September 30 fiscal year-end, the Nuclear Segment
      historically experienced seasonably large shipments during the third quarter,
      leading up to this government fiscal year-end, as a result of incentives and
      other quota requirements. Correspondingly for a period of approximately three
      months following September 30, the Nuclear Segment is generally seasonably
      slow,
      as the government budgets are still being finalized, planning for the new year
      is occurring and we enter the holiday season. Since 2005, due to our efforts
      to
      work with the various government customers to smooth these shipments more evenly
      throughout the year, we have seen less fluctuation in the quarters. In 2007,
      the
      US Congress did not pass the fiscal year 2007 budget which resulted in no
      increase of funding to DOE from the previous years 2006 budget allocation.
      This
      resulted in a decrease of the start up of new projects; however, we continued
      to
      see shipments at expected levels as compared to 2006. The 2008 budget was signed
      by the President in December 2007 which provides funding for the start of new
      projects in 2008. We do not anticipate big fluctuations within 2008 even with
      the passing of the 2008 budget; however, we cannot provide assurance this will
      be the case. 
    Backlog
    The
      Nuclear Segment of our Company maintains a backlog of stored waste, which
      represents waste that has not been processed. The backlog is principally a
      result of the timing and complexity of the waste being brought into the
      facilities and the selling price per container. As of December 31, 2007, our
      Nuclear Segment had a backlog of approximately $14.6 million, which includes
      $4.7 million for our newly acquired PFNWR facility, as compared to approximately
      $12.5 million, as of December 31, 2006. Additionally the time it takes to
      process mixed waste from the time it arrives may increase due to the types
      and
      complexities of the waste we are currently receiving. We typically process
      our
      backlog during periods of low waste receipts, which historically has been in
      the
      first or fourth quarter.
    Dependence
      Upon a Single or Few Customers
    Our
      Nuclear Segment is not dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers;
      however, our Nuclear Segment has a significant relationship with the federal
      government, and continues to enter into, contracts with (directly or indirectly
      as a subcontractor) the federal government. The contracts that we are a party
      to
      with the federal government or with others as a subcontractor to the federal
      government generally provide that the government may terminate on 30 days notice
      or renegotiate the contracts, at the government's election. Our inability to
      continue under existing contracts that we have with the federal government
      (directly or indirectly as a subcontractor) could have a material adverse effect
      on our operations and financial condition. 
    We
      performed services relating to waste generated by the federal government, either
      directly or indirectly as a subcontractor to the federal government, which
      represented approximately $30,000,000 (includes approximately $5,568,000 from
      PFNWR facility) or 55.5% of our total revenue from continuing operations during
      2007, as compared to $33,226,000 or 63.0% of our total revenue from continuing
      operations during 2006, and $29,555,000 or 59.0% of our total revenue from
      continuing operations during 2005. 
    Included
      in the amounts discussed above, are revenues from LATA/Parallax Portsmouth
      LLC
      (“LATA/Parallax”). LATA/Parallax is a manager for environmental programs for
      various agencies of the federal government. Our revenues from LATA/Parallax,
      as
      a subcontractor to perform remediation services at certain federal sites,
      contributed $8,784,000 or 16.2% and $10,341,000 or 19.6% of our revenues from
      continuing operations for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our contract with
      LATA/Parallax is expected to be completed in September 2008. As with most
      contracts relating to the federal government, LATA/Parallax
    6
        can
      terminate the contract with us at any time for convenience, which could have
      a
      material adverse effect on our operations. 
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has had a significant relationship with Bechtel Jacobs Company,
      LLC. (“Bechtel Jacobs”). Bechtel Jacobs is the government-appointed manager of
      the environmental program for Oak Ridge, Tennessee to perform certain treatment
      and disposal services relating to Oak Ridge, and our Nuclear Segment has been
      awarded three subcontracts by Bechtel Jacobs to perform certain environmental
      services at DOE’s Oak Ridge, Tennessee sites. Two of our Oak Ridge contracts
      have been amended for pricing modifications in 2007 and have been extended
      through September 2009. Our revenues from Bechtel Jacobs have continued to
      decrease as the DOE site in Oak Ridge continues to complete certain of its
      clean-up milestones and moves toward completing its closure efforts. As with
      most such blanket processing agreements, the Oak Ridge contracts contain no
      minimum or maximum processing guarantees, and may be terminated at any time
      pursuant to federal contracting terms and conditions. The Nuclear Segment
      continues to pursue other similar or related services for environmental programs
      at other DOE and government sites. Consolidated revenues from Bechtel Jacobs
      for
      2007, total $1,812,000 or 3.3% of total revenues from continuing operations,
      as
      compared to $6,705,000 or 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and
      $14,940,000 or 29.8% for the year ended December 31, 2005. 
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has provided treatment of mixed low-level waste, as a
      subcontractor, for Fluor Hanford since 2004. However, with the acquisition
      of
      our PFNWR facility, we now have a significant relationship with Fluor Hanford,
      a
      prime contractor to the DOE since 1996. Fluor Hanford manages several major
      activities at the DOE’s Hanford Site, including dismantling former nuclear
      processing facilities, monitoring and cleaning up the site’s contaminated
      groundwater, and retrieving and processing transuranic waste for off-site
      shipment. The Hanford site is one of DOE’s largest nuclear weapon environmental
      remediation projects. Our PFNWR facility is located adjacent to the Hanford
      site
      and provides treatment of low level radioactive and mixed wastes. We currently
      have three contracts with Fluor Hanford at our PFNWR facility, with the initial
      contract dating back to 2003. These three contracts have since been extended to
      September 2008. As the DOE is currently in the process of re-bidding its
      contracts with current prime contractors, our future revenue beyond September
      2008 from Fluor Hanford is uncertain at this time. Revenues from Fluor Hanford
      totaled $6,985,000 (approximately $3,100,000 from PFNWR) or 12.9%, $1,229,000
      or
      2.3%, and $1,732,000 or 3.5% of consolidated revenue from continuing operations
      for the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. As with
      most
      contracts relating to the federal government, Fluor Hanford can terminate the
      contracts with us at any time for convenience, which could have a material
      adverse effect on our operations. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of
      Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” — “Significant Customers” for
      discussion on our relationship with Bechtel Jacobs, LATA/Parallax, Fluor
      Hanford, and our government contract or subcontracts involving the federal
      government. 
    Competitive
      Conditions
    The
      Nuclear Segment has few competitors and in some niche area does not currently
      experience significant competitive pressures. This segment’s largest competitor
      is EnergySolutions, which provides treatment and disposal at its Clive, Utah
      disposal facility and presents the largest challenge in the market. At present,
      EnergySolutions’ Clive, Utah facility is one of the few radioactive disposal
      sites in the country in which our Nuclear Segment can dispose of its nuclear
      waste. If EnergySolutions should refuse to accept our waste or cease operations
      at its Clive, Utah facility, such would have a material adverse effect on us.
      Our Nuclear Segment solicits business on a nationwide basis.
    The
      permitting and licensing requirements, and the cost to obtain such permits,
      are
      barriers to the entry of hazardous waste TSD facilities and radioactive and
      mixed waste activities as presently operated by our subsidiaries. We believe
      that there are no formidable barriers to entry into certain of the on-site
      treatment businesses, and certain of the non-hazardous waste operations, which
      do not require such permits. If the permit requirements for hazardous waste
      storage, treatment, and disposal activities and/or the licensing requirements
      for the handling of low level radioactive matters are eliminated or if such
      licenses or permits
    7
        were
      made
      less rigorous to obtain, such would allow companies to enter into these markets
      and provide greater competition. 
    Environmental
      engineering and consulting services provided by us through SYA involve
      competition with larger engineering and consulting firms. We believe that we
      are
      able to compete with these firms based on our established reputation in these
      market areas and our expertise in several specific elements of environmental
      engineering and consulting such as environmental applications in the cement
      industry.
    Capital
      Spending, Certain Environmental Expenditures and Potential Environmental
      Liabilities
    Capital
      Spending
    During
      2007, our purchases of capital equipment totaled approximately $3,988,000 of
      which $2,982,000 and $1,006,000 was for our continuing and discontinued
      operations, respectively. Of the total capital spending, $258,000 and $356,000
      was financed for our continuing and discontinued operations, respectively,
      resulting in total net purchases of $3,374,000 funded out of cash flow. These
      expenditures were for expansion and improvements to the operations principally
      within the Nuclear and Industrial Segments. These capital expenditures were
      funded by the cash provided by operations. We have budgeted approximately $3.1
      million for 2008 capital expenditures for our operating segments to expand
      our
      operations into new markets, reduce the cost of waste processing and handling,
      expand the range of wastes that can be accepted for treatment and processing,
      and to maintain permit compliance requirements. Certain of these budgeted
      projects are discretionary and may either be delayed until later in the year
      or
      deferred altogether. We have traditionally incurred actual capital spending
      totals for a given year less than the initial budget amount. The initiation
      and
      timing of projects are also determined by financing alternatives or funds
      available for such capital projects. 
    Environmental
      Liabilities
    We
      have
      various remediation projects, which are currently in progress at certain of
      our
      permitted facilities. These remediation projects principally entail the
      removal/remediation of contaminated soil and, in some cases, the remediation
      of
      surrounding ground water. 
    In
      June
      1994, we acquired PFD. PFD is part of our Industrial Segment, which we have
      classified as discontinued operation. The former owners of PFD had merged
      Environmental Processing Services, Inc. (“EPS”) with PFD. The party that sold
      PFD to us agreed to indemnify us for costs associated with remediating the
      property leased by EPS (“Leased Property”). Such remediation involves soil
      and/or groundwater restoration. The Leased Property used by EPS to operate
      its
      facility is separate and apart from the property on which PFD's facility is
      located. The contamination of the Leased Property occurred prior to PFD being
      acquired by us. During 1995, in conjunction with the bankruptcy filing by the
      selling party, we recognized an environmental liability of approximately $1.2
      million for remedial activities at the Leased Property. We have accrued
      approximately $702,000, at December 31, 2007, for the estimated, remaining
      costs
      of remediating the Leased Property used by EPS, which will extend over the
      next
      five years. This liability was retained by the Company upon the sale of PFD
      in
      March 2008. See “Business-Company Overview and Principal Products and Services”
for a discussion of certain obligations that the buyer of PFD assumed when
      we
      sold substantially all of the assets of PFD. 
    In
      conjunction with the acquisition of Perma-Fix of Memphis, Inc. (“PFM”), we
      assumed and recorded certain liabilities to remediate gasoline contaminated
      groundwater and investigate, under the hazardous and solid waste amendments,
      potential areas of soil contamination on PFM's property. Prior to our ownership
      of PFM, the owners installed monitoring and treatment equipment to restore
      the
      groundwater to acceptable standards in accordance with federal, state and local
      authorities. We have accrued approximately $476,000 at December 31, 2007, for
      the estimated, remaining costs of remediating the groundwater contamination,
      which will extend over the next five years. This environmental liability is
      included in our continuing operations and will remain the financial obligation
      of the Company.
    8
        In
      conjunction with the acquisition of PFSG, a subsidiary within our Industrial
      Segment that has been classified as a discontinued operation, we initially
      recognized an environmental accrual of $2.2 million for estimated long-term
      costs to remove contaminated soil and to undergo ground water remediation
      activities at the acquired facility in Valdosta, Georgia. Initial valuation
      has
      been completed, along with the selection of the remedial process, and the
      planning and approval process. The remedial activities began in 2003. We have
      accrued approximately $704,000, at December 31, 2007, to complete remediation
      of
      the facility, which we anticipate spending over the next six years. If we
      complete the sale of PFSG facility, we anticipate that the buyer will assume
      our
      obligation to remediate the facility.
    In
      conjunction with an oil spill at PFTS, a subsidiary within our Industrial
      Segment that has been classified as a discontinued operation, we accrued
      approximately $69,000 to remediate the contaminated soil and ground water at
      this location. As of December 31, 2007, we have accrued approximately $37,000,
      for the estimated remaining cost to remediate the area. We expect to complete
      spending on this remedial project over the next five years.
    In
      conjunction with the acquisition of PFMD in March 2004, we accrued for long-term
      environmental liabilities of $391,000 as a best estimate of the cost to
      remediate the hazardous and/or non-hazardous contamination on certain properties
      owned by PFMD. As previously discussed, we sold substantially all of the assets
      of the Maryland facility during the first part of 2008. In connection with
      this
      sale, the buyer agreed to assume all obligations and liabilities for
      environmental conditions at the Maryland facility except for fines, assessments,
      or judgments to governmental authorities prior to the closing of the transaction
      or third party tort claims existing prior to the closing of the sale.
    As
      a
      result of the discontinued operations at the PFMI facility, a non-operational
      facility which is also part of our discontinued operations, we were required
      to
      complete certain closure and remediation activities pursuant to our RCRA permit,
      which were completed in January 2006. In September 2006, PFMI signed a
      Corrective Action Consent Order with the State of Michigan, requiring
      performance of studies and development and execution of plans related to the
      potential clean-up of soils in portions of the property. The level and cost
      of
      the clean-up and remediation are determined by state mandated requirements.
      Upon
      discontinuation of operations in 2004, we engaged our engineering firm, SYA,
      to
      perform an analysis and related estimate of the cost to complete the RCRA
      portion of the closure/clean-up costs and the potential long-term remediation
      costs. Based upon this analysis, we estimated the cost of this environmental
      closure and remediation liability to be $2,464,000. During 2006, based on
      state-mandated criteria, we re-evaluated our required activities to close and
      remediate the facility, and during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we began
      implementing the modified methodology to remediate the facility. As a result
      of
      the reevaluation and the change in methodology, we reduced the accrual by
      $1,182,000. We
      have spent approximately $710,000 for closure costs since September 30, 2004,
      of
      which $81,000 has been spent during 2007 and $74,000 was spent in 2006. In
      the
      4th
      quarter of 2007, we reduced our reserve by $9,000 as a result of our
      reassessment of the cost of remediation. We have $563,000 accrued for the
      closure, as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate spending $401,000 in 2008
      with the remainder over the next five years. Based on the current status of
      the
      Corrective Action, we believe that the remaining reserve is adequate to cover
      the liability. 
    No
      insurance or third party recovery was taken into account in determining our
      cost
      estimates or reserves, nor do our cost estimates or reserves reflect any
      discount for present value purposes. 
    The
      nature of our business exposes us to significant risk of liability for damages.
      Such potential liability could involve, for example, claims for cleanup costs,
      personal injury or damage to the environment in cases where we are held
      responsible for the release of hazardous materials; claims of employees,
      customers or third parties for personal injury or property damage occurring
      in
      the course of our operations; and claims alleging negligence or professional
      errors or omissions in the planning or performance of our services. In addition,
      we could be deemed a responsible party for the costs of required cleanup of
      any
      property, which may be contaminated by hazardous substances generated or
      transported by us to a site we selected,
    9
        including
      properties owned or leased by us (see “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3). We
      could also be subject to fines and civil penalties in connection with violations
      of regulatory requirements.
    Research
      and Development
    Innovation
      and technical know-how by our operations is very important to the success of
      our
      business. Our goal is to discover, develop and bring to market innovative ways
      to process waste that address unmet environmental needs. We conduct research
      internally, and also through collaborations with other third parties. The
      majority of our research activities are performed as we receive new and unique
      waste to treat; as such, we recognize these expenses as a part of our processing
      costs. We feel that our investments in research have been rewarded by the
      discovery of the Perma-Fix Process and the Perma-Fix II process. Our competitors
      also devote resources to research and development and many such competitors
      have
      greater resources at their disposal than we do. We have estimated that during
      2005, 2006, and 2007, we spent approximately $489,000, $422,000, and $715,000
      respectively, in Company-sponsored research and development
      activities.
    Number
      of Employees
    In
      our
      service-driven business, our employees are vital to our success. We believe
      we
      have good relationships with our employees. As of December 31, 2007, we employed
      approximately 522 full time persons, of which approximately 16 were assigned
      to
      our corporate office, approximately 23 were assigned to our Operations
      Headquarters, approximately 23 to our Engineering Segment, approximately 286
      to
      the Nuclear Segment, and approximately 174 to the Industrial Segment. We have
      no
      union employees at any of our segments.
    Governmental
      Regulation 
    Environmental
      companies and their customers are subject to extensive and evolving
      environmental laws and regulations by a number of national, state and local
      environmental, safety and health agencies, the principal of which being the
      EPA.
      These laws and regulations largely contribute to the demand for our services.
      Although our customers remain responsible by law for their environmental
      problems, we must also comply with the requirements of those laws applicable
      to
      our services. We cannot predict the extent to which our operations may be
      affected by future enforcement policies as applied to existing laws or by the
      enactment of new environmental laws and regulations. Moreover, any predictions
      regarding possible liability are further complicated by the fact that under
      current environmental laws we could be jointly and severally liable for certain
      activities of third parties over whom we have little or no control. Although
      we
      believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with applicable laws
      and
      regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties or other liabilities or
      could be adversely affected by existing or subsequently enacted laws or
      regulations. The principal environmental laws affecting our customers and us
      are
      briefly discussed below.
    The
      Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (“RCRA”)
    RCRA
      and
      its associated regulations establish a strict and comprehensive permitting
      and
      regulatory program applicable to hazardous waste. The EPA has promulgated
      regulations under RCRA for new and existing treatment, storage and disposal
      facilities including incinerators, storage and treatment tanks, storage
      containers, storage and treatment surface impoundments, waste piles and
      landfills. Every facility that treats, stores or disposes of hazardous waste
      must obtain a RCRA permit or must obtain interim status from the EPA, or a
      state
      agency, which has been authorized by the EPA to administer its program, and
      must
      comply with certain operating, financial responsibility and closure
      requirements
    The
      Safe Drinking Water Act,
      as amended (the “SDW Act”)
    SDW
      Act
      regulates, among other items, the underground injection of liquid wastes in
      order to protect usable groundwater from contamination. The SDW Act established
      the Underground Injection Control Program (“UIC Program”) that provides for the
      classification of injection wells into five classes. Class I wells are those
      which inject industrial, municipal, nuclear and hazardous wastes below all
      underground sources of drinking water in an area. Class I wells are divided
      into
      non-hazardous and hazardous categories with more
    10
        stringent
      regulations imposed on Class I wells which inject hazardous wastes. PFTS' permit
      to operate its underground injection disposal wells is limited to non-hazardous
      wastewaters.
    The
      Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
      (“CERCLA,” also referred to as the “Superfund Act”)
    CERCLA
      governs the cleanup of sites at which hazardous substances are located or at
      which hazardous substances have been released or are threatened to be released
      into the environment. CERCLA authorizes the EPA to compel responsible parties
      to
      clean up sites and provides for punitive damages for noncompliance. CERCLA
      imposes joint and several liabilities for the costs of clean up and damages
      to
      natural resources.
    Health
      and Safety Regulations
    The
      operation of our environmental activities is subject to the requirements of
      the
      Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state laws.
      Regulations promulgated under OSHA by the Department of Labor require employers
      of persons in the transportation and environmental industries, including
      independent contractors, to implement hazard communications, work practices
      and
      personnel protection programs in order to protect employees from equipment
      safety hazards and exposure to hazardous chemicals.
    Atomic
      Energy Act
    The
      Atomic Energy Act of 1954 governs the safe handling and use of Source, Special
      Nuclear and Byproduct materials in the U.S. and its territories. This act
      authorized the Atomic Energy Commission (now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
      “USNRC”) to enter into “Agreements with States to carry out those regulatory
      functions in those respective states except for Nuclear Power Plants and federal
      facilities like the VA hospitals and the DOE operations.” The State of Florida
      (with the USNRC oversight), Office of Radiation Control, regulates the
      radiological program of the PFF facility, and the State of Tennessee (with
      the
      USNRC oversight), Tennessee Department of Radiological Health, regulates the
      radiological program of the DSSI and M&EC facilities. The State of
      Washington (with the USNRC oversight) Department of Ecology, regulates the
      radiological operations of the Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc.
      facility.
    Other
      Laws
    Our
      activities are subject to other federal environmental protection and similar
      laws, including, without limitation, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act,
      the
      Hazardous Materials Transportation Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act.
      Many states have also adopted laws for the protection of the environment which
      may affect us, including laws governing the generation, handling, transportation
      and disposition of hazardous substances and laws governing the investigation
      and
      cleanup of, and liability for, contaminated sites. Some of these state
      provisions are broader and more stringent than existing federal law and
      regulations. Our failure to conform our services to the requirements of any of
      these other applicable federal or state laws could subject us to substantial
      liabilities which could have a material adverse effect on us, our operations
      and
      financial condition. In addition to various federal, state and local
      environmental regulations, our hazardous waste transportation activities are
      regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Interstate Commerce
      Commission and transportation regulatory bodies in the states in which we
      operate. We cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by any law
      or
      rule that may be enacted or enforced in the future, or any new or different
      interpretations of existing laws or rules. 
    Insurance
    We
      believe we maintain insurance coverage adequate for our needs and similar to,
      or
      greater than, the coverage maintained by other companies of our size in the
      industry. There can be no assurances, however, that liabilities, which we may
      incur will be covered by our insurance or that the dollar amount of such
      liabilities, which are covered will not exceed our policy limits. Under our
      insurance contracts, we usually accept self-insured retentions, which we believe
      is appropriate for our specific business risks. We are required by EPA
      regulations to carry environmental impairment liability insurance providing
      coverage for
    11
        damages
      on a claims-made basis in amounts of at least $1 million per occurrence and
      $2
      million per year in the aggregate. To meet the requirements of customers, we
      have exceeded these coverage amounts.
    In
      June
      2003, we entered into a 25-year finite risk insurance policy, which provides
      financial assurance to the applicable states for our permitted facilities in
      the
      event of unforeseen closure. Prior to obtaining, and at all times while
      operating under our permits, we are required to provide financial assurance
      that
      guarantees to the states that, in the event of closure, our permitted facilities
      will be closed in accordance with the regulations. The policy provides a maximum
      $35 million of financial assurance coverage, and thus far has provided $30.1
      million in financial assurance.
    In
      August
      2007, we entered into a second finite risk insurance policy for our Perma-Fix
      Northwest Richland, Inc. facility, which was acquired on June 13, 2007. The
      policy provides an initial $7.8 million of financial assurance coverage with
      annual growth rate of 1.5%, which at the end of the four year term policy,
      will
      provide maximum coverage of $8.2 million. The policy will renew automatically
      on
      an annual basis at the end of the four year term and will not be subject to
      any
      renewal fees.
    | ITEM 1A. | RISK
                    FACTORS | 
The
      following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial
      performance, and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered
      in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this
      Form 10-K, as the forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,
      and actual results and conditions could differ materially from the current
      expectations. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, and
      before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risk
      factors as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference
      in
      the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
    Risk
      Factors Regarding Our Business:
    Our
      Industrial Segment (discontinued operations) has sustained losses for the past
      eight years, including 2007.
    Our
      Industrial Segment has sustained losses in each year since 2000. On May 18,
      2007, our Board of Directors authorized management to sell all, or a part of,
      our Industrial Segment. During the first quarter of 2008, we completed the
      sale
      of PFMD and sale of PFD and are negotiating the sale of PFSG within our
      Industrial Segment. We are also attempting to sell the remaining operations
      within the Industrial Segment. If we fail to divest the majority of our
      remaining facilities within our Industrial Segment and the majority of our
      Industrial Segment facilities fails to become profitable on an annualized basis
      in the foreseeable future, this could have a material adverse effect on our
      results of operations, liquidity and our potential growth. 
    The
      inability to maintain existing government contracts or win new government
      contracts over an extended period could have a material adverse effect on our
      operations and adversely affect our future revenues.
    A
      material amount of our Nuclear Segment's revenues are generated through various
      U.S. government contracts or subcontracts involving the U.S. government. Our
      revenues from government sources were approximately $30,000,000 and $33,226,000,
      representing 55.5% and 63.0%, respectively, of our consolidated operating
      revenues from continuing operations for 2007 and 2006. Most
      of
      our government contracts or our subcontracts granted under government contracts
      are awarded through a regulated competitive bidding process. Some government
      contracts are awarded to multiple competitors, which increase overall
      competition and pricing pressure and may require us to make sustained post-award
      efforts to realize revenues under these government contracts. In addition,
      government clients can generally terminate or modify their contracts at their
      convenience. If
      we
      fail to maintain or replace these relationships, our revenues and future
      operations could be adversely affected. 
    12
        If
      we cannot maintain our governmental permits or cannot obtain required permits,
      we may not be able to continue or expand our operations. 
    We
      are a
      waste management company. Our business is subject to extensive, evolving, and
      increasingly stringent federal, state, and local environmental laws and
      regulations. Such federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations
      govern our activities regarding the treatment, storage, recycling, disposal,
      and
      transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste and low-level radioactive
      waste. We must obtain and maintain permits or licenses to conduct these
      activities in compliance with such laws and regulations. Failure to obtain
      and
      maintain the required permits or licenses would have a material adverse effect
      on our operations and financial condition. If any of our facilities are unable
      to maintain currently held permits or licenses or obtain any additional permits
      or licenses which may be required to conduct its operations, we may not be
      able
      to continue those operations at these facilities, which could have a material
      adverse effect on us.
    Loss
      of certain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on
      us.
    Our
      success depends on the contributions of our key management, environmental and
      engineering personnel, especially Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman, President,
      and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Dr. Centofanti could have a material
      adverse effect on our operations, revenues, prospects, and our ability to raise
      additional funds. Our future success depends on our ability to retain and expand
      our staff of qualified personnel, including environmental specialists and
      technicians, sales personnel, and engineers. Without qualified personnel, we
      may
      incur delays in rendering our services or be unable to render certain services.
      We cannot be certain that we will be successful in our efforts to attract and
      retain qualified personnel as their availability is limited due to the demand
      for hazardous waste management services and the highly competitive nature of
      the
      hazardous waste management industry. We do not maintain key person insurance
      on
      any of our employees, officers, or directors.
    We
      believe our proprietary technology is important to us. 
    We
      believe that it is important that we maintain our proprietary technologies.
      There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary
      technologies will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of these technologies
      by third parties. Misappropriation of our proprietary technology could have
      an
      adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Changes to current
      environmental laws and regulations also could limit the use of our proprietary
      technology. 
    Changes
      in environmental regulations and enforcement policies could subject us to
      additional liability and adversely affect our ability to continue certain
      operations. 
    We
      cannot
      predict the extent to which our operations may be affected by future
      governmental enforcement policies as applied to existing laws, by changes to
      current environmental laws and regulations, or by the enactment of new
      environmental laws and regulations. Any predictions regarding possible liability
      under such laws are complicated further by current environmental laws which
      provide that we could be liable, jointly and severally, for certain activities
      of third parties over whom we have limited or no control.
    The
      refusal to accept our waste for disposal by, or a closure of, the end disposal
      site that our Nuclear Segment utilizes to dispose of its waste could subject
      us
      to significant risk and limit our operations.
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has limited options available for disposal of its waste. If
      this
      disposal site ceases to accept waste or closes for any reason or refuses to
      accept the waste of our Nuclear Segment, for any reason, we could have nowhere
      to dispose of our Nuclear waste or have significantly increased costs from
      disposal alternatives. With nowhere to dispose of our nuclear waste, we would
      be
      subject to significant risk from the implications of storing the waste on our
      site, and we would have to limit our operations to accept only waste that we
      can
      dispose of.
    Our
      Nuclear Segment and Industrial Segment (discontinued operations) subject us
      to
      substantial potential environmental liability.
    Our
      business of rendering services in connection with management of waste, including
      certain types of hazardous waste, low-level radioactive waste, and mixed waste
      (waste containing both hazardous and low-
    13
        level
      radioactive waste), subjects us to risks of liability for damages. Such
      liability could involve, without limitation:
    | · | claims
                for clean-up costs, personal injury or damage to the environment
                in cases
                in which we are held responsible for the release of hazardous or
                radioactive materials; | 
| · | claims
                of employees, customers, or third parties for personal injury or
                property
                damage occurring in the course of our operations;
                and | 
| · | claims
                alleging negligence or professional errors or omissions in the planning
                or
                performance of our services. | 
Our
      operations are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. We have
      in the past, and could in the future, be subject to substantial fines,
      penalties, and sanctions for violations of environmental laws and substantial
      expenditures as a responsible party for the cost of remediating any property
      which may be contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us and disposed
      at such property, or transported by us to a site selected by us, including
      properties we own or lease.
    As
      our operations expand, we may be subject to increased litigation, which could
      have a negative impact on our future financial results.
    Our
      operations are highly regulated and we are subject to numerous laws and
      regulations regarding procedures for waste treatment, storage, recycling,
      transportation, and disposal activities, all of which may provide the basis
      for
      litigation against us. In recent years, the waste treatment industry has
      experienced a significant increase in so-called “toxic-tort” litigation as those
      injured by contamination seek to recover for personal injuries or property
      damage. We believe that, as our operations and activities expand, there will
      be
      a similar increase in the potential for litigation alleging that we have
      violated environmental laws or regulations or are responsible for contamination
      or pollution caused by our normal operations, negligence or other misconduct,
      or
      for accidents, which occur in the course of our business activities. Such
      litigation, if significant and not adequately insured against, could adversely
      affect our financial condition and our ability to fund our operations.
      Protracted litigation would likely cause us to spend significant amounts of
      our
      time, effort, and money. This could prevent our management from focusing on
      our
      operations and expansion.
    If
      we cannot maintain adequate insurance coverage, we will be unable to continue
      certain operations.
    Our
      business exposes us to various risks, including claims for causing damage to
      property and injuries to persons that may involve allegations of negligence
      or
      professional errors or omissions in the performance of our services. Such claims
      could be substantial. We believe that our insurance coverage is presently
      adequate and similar to, or greater than, the coverage maintained by other
      companies in the industry of our size. If we are unable to obtain adequate
      or
      required insurance coverage in the future, or if our insurance is not available
      at affordable rates, we would violate our permit conditions and other
      requirements of the environmental laws, rules, and regulations under which
      we
      operate. Such violations would render us unable to continue certain of our
      operations. These events would have a material adverse effect on our financial
      condition.
    Breach
      of financial covenants in existing credit facility could result in a default,
      triggering repayment of outstanding debt under the credit
      facility.
    Our
      credit facility with our bank contains financial covenants. A breach of any
      of
      these covenants could result in a default under our credit facility triggering
      our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under
      our credit facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
      In
      the past, none of our covenants have been restrictive to our operations;
      however, in 2007, our fixed charge coverage ratio fell below the minimum
      requirement pursuant to the covenant. We have obtained a waiver from our lender
      for this non-compliance as of December 31, 2007. We do not expect to be in
      compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of the first
      and
      second quarters of 2008 and, as a result, we were required under generally
      accepted accounting principles to reclassify the long term portion of this
      debt
      to current. Furthermore, we have a cross default provision on our 8.625%
      promissory note with a separate bank and have reclassified the long term portion
      of that debt to current as well. If we are unable to
    14
        meet
      the
      fixed charge coverage ratio, we believe that our lender will waive this
      non-compliance or will revise this covenant so that we are in compliance, but
      there is no assurance that we will be able to secure a waiver or revision from
      our lender. If we fail to meet our fixed charge coverage ratio in the future
      and
      our lender does not waive the non-compliance or revise this covenant so that
      we
      are in compliance, our lender could accelerate the repayment of borrowings
      under
      our credit facility. In the event that our lender accelerates the payment of
      our
      borrowing, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our
      credit facility and other indebtedness. In addition to the waiver that we have
      obtained from our lender for our non-compliance of our fixed charge coverage
      ratio as of December 31, 2007, our lender has amended our present covenant
      to
      exclude certain allowable charges in determining our minimum fixed charge
      coverage ratio. This amendment may improve our ability to maintain compliance
      of
      the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future. 
    Due
      to
      our inability to demonstrate that we will comply with the fixed charge
      coverage ratio in our loan agreement as of the end of the first and second
      quarters of 2008, resulting in the long-term portion of our indebtedness to
      certain of our lenders of approximately $11.4 million being reclassified to
      current, our working capital deficit of approximately $17.2 million and certain
      of our lenders’ ability to accelerate our indebtedness under our credit
      facilities, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
      concern. Consequently, our independent registered public accounting firm has
      included an explanatory paragraph addressing this uncertainty in their report.
      Although we believe our lender will waive our failure or potential failure
      to
      meet this financial covenant or revise the covenant so that we are in
      compliance, as of the date of this report our lender has not issued this waiver
      or revision. There are no assurances that our lender will waive or revise this
      covenant. 
    Failure
      of our Nuclear Segment to be profitable could have a material adverse
      effect.
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has historically been profitable. With the divestiture and
      impending divestiture of certain facilities within our Industrial Segment and
      the acquisition of our PFNWR facility in June 2007, the Nuclear Segment
      represents the Company’s largest revenue segment. The Company’s main objectives
      are to increase focus on the efficient operation of our existing facilities
      within our Nuclear Segment and to further evaluate strategic acquisitions within
      the Nuclear Segment. If our Nuclear Segment fails to continue to be profitable
      in the future, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
      results of operations, liquidity and our potential growth.
    Our
      operations are subject to seasonal factors, which cause our revenues to
      fluctuate.
    We
      have
      historically experienced reduced revenues and losses during the first and fourth
      quarters of our fiscal years due to a seasonal slowdown in operations from
      poor
      weather conditions, overall reduced activities during these periods resulting
      from holiday periods, and finalization of government budgets during the fourth
      quarter of each year. During our second and third fiscal quarters there has
      historically been an increase in revenues and operating profits. If we do not
      continue to have increased revenues and profitability during the second and
      third fiscal quarters, this will have a material adverse effect on our results
      of operations and liquidity.
    If
      environmental regulation or enforcement is relaxed, the demand for our services
      will decrease.
    The
      demand for our services is substantially dependent upon the public's concern
      with, and the continuation and proliferation of, the laws and regulations
      governing the treatment, storage, recycling, and disposal of hazardous,
      non-hazardous, and low-level radioactive waste. A decrease in the level of
      public concern, the repeal or modification of these laws, or any significant
      relaxation of regulations relating to the treatment, storage, recycling, and
      disposal of hazardous waste and low-level radioactive waste would significantly
      reduce the demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect
      on
      our operations and financial condition. We are not aware of any current federal
      or state government or agency efforts in which a moratorium or limitation has
      been, or will be, placed upon the creation of new hazardous or radioactive
      waste
      regulations that would have a material adverse effect on us; however, no
      assurance can be made that such a moratorium or limitation will not be
      implemented in the future.
    15
        Our
      amount of debt and floating rates of interest could adversely affect our
      operations.
    At
      December 31, 2007, our aggregate consolidated debt was approximately $18.8
      million. If our floating rates of interest experienced an upward increase of
      1%,
      our debt service would increase by approximately $189,000 annually. Our secured
      revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) provides for an aggregate
      commitment of $25 million, consisting of an $18 million revolving line of credit
      and a term loan of $7 million. The maximum we can borrow under the revolving
      part of the Credit Facility is based on a percentage of the amount of our
      eligible receivables outstanding at any one time. The Credit Facility is due
      September 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2007, we have borrowings under the
      revolving part of our Credit Facility of $6.9 million and borrowing availability
      of up to an additional $5.7 million based on our outstanding eligible
      receivables. A forecast of our first quarter and second quarter 2008 results
      indicates the possibility that we could be in default of our fixed charge
      coverage ratio covenant. We expect that this will place us in “technical
      default” of our covenant and thus our debt under our credit facility has been
      classified as current. If we become in default under this covenant, our lenders
      could accelerate approximately $14.4 million of indebtness. See “Risk Factor -
      Breach of financial covenants in existing credit facility could result in a
      default, triggering repayment of outstanding debt under the credit facility.” A
      lack of operating results could have material adverse consequences on our
      ability to operate our business. Our
      ability to make principal and interest payments, or to refinance indebtedness,
      will depend on both our and our subsidiaries' future operating performance
      and
      cash flow. Prevailing economic conditions, interest rate levels, and financial,
      competitive, business, and other factors affect us. Many of these factors are
      beyond our control.
    We
      may be unable to utilize loss carryforwards in the future.
    We
      have
      approximately $22.7 million in net operating loss carryforwards which will
      expire from 2008 to 2024 if not used against future federal income tax
      liabilities. Our net loss carryforwards are subject to various limitations.
      We
      anticipate the net loss carryforwards will be used to reduce the federal income
      tax payments which we would otherwise be required to make with respect to
      income, if any, generated in future years.
    We
      and our customers operate in a politically sensitive environment, and the public
      perception of nuclear power and radioactive materials can affect our customers
      and us.
    We
      and
      our customers operate in a politically sensitive environment. Opposition by
      third parties to particular projects can limit the handling and disposal of
      radioactive materials. Adverse public reaction to developments in the disposal
      of radioactive materials, including any high profile incident involving the
      discharge of radioactive materials, could directly affect our customers and
      indirectly affect our business. Adverse public reaction also could lead to
      increased regulation or outright prohibition, limitations on the activities
      of
      our customers, more onerous operating requirements or other conditions that
      could have a material adverse impact on our customers’ and our
      business.
    We
      may not be successful in winning new business mandates from our government
      and
      commercial customers.
    We
      must
      be successful in winning mandates from our government and commercial customers
      to replace revenues from projects that are nearing completion and to increase
      our revenues. Our business and operating results can be adversely affected
      by
      the size and timing of a single material contract.
    The
      elimination or any modification of the Price-Anderson Acts indemnification
      authority could have adverse consequences for our
      business.
    The
      Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the AEA, comprehensively regulates
      the
      manufacture, use, and storage of radioactive materials. The Price-Anderson
      Act
      supports the nuclear services industry by offering broad indemnification to
      DOE
      contractors for liabilities arising out of nuclear incidents at DOE nuclear
      facilities. That indemnification protects DOE prime contractor, but also similar
      companies that work under contract or subcontract for a DOE prime contract
      or
      transporting radioactive material to or from a site. The indemnification
      authority of the DOE under the Price-Anderson Act was extended through 2025
      by
      the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
    16
        The
      Price-Anderson Act’s indemnification provisions generally do not apply to our
      processing of radioactive waste at governmental facilities, and do not apply
      to
      liabilities that we might incur while performing services as a contractor for
      the DOE and the nuclear energy industry. If an incident or evacuation is not
      covered under Price-Anderson Act indemnification, we could be held liable for
      damages, regardless of fault, which could have an adverse effect on our results
      of operations and financial condition. If such indemnification authority is
      not
      applicable in the future, our business could be adversely affected if the owners
      and operators of new facilities fail to retain our services in the absence
      of
      commercial adequate insurance and indemnification.
    Our
      existing and future customers may reduce or halt their spending on nuclear
      services from outside vendors, including us.
    A
      variety
      of factors may cause our existing or future customers to reduce or halt their
      spending on nuclear services from outside vendors, including us. These factors
      include, but are not limited to:
    | · | accidents,
                terrorism, natural disasters or other incidents occurring at nuclear
                facilities or involving shipments of nuclear
                materials; | 
| · | failure
                of the federal government to approve necessary budgets, or to reduce
                the
                amount of the budget necessary, to fund remediation of DOE and DOD
                sites; | 
| · | civic
                opposition to or changes in government policies regarding nuclear
                operations; or | 
| · | a
                reduction in demand for nuclear generating
                capacity. | 
These
      events also could adversely affect us to the extent that they result in the
      reduction or elimination of contractual requirements, lower demand for nuclear
      services, burdensome regulation, disruptions of shipments or production,
      increased operational costs or difficulties or increased liability for actual
      or
      threatened property damage or personal injury.
    Economic
      downturns and reductions in government funding could have a negative impact
      on
      our businesses.
    Demand
      for our services has been, and we expect that demand will continue to be,
      subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our
      control, including economic conditions, inability of the federal government
      to
      adopt its budget or reductions in the budget for spending to remediate federal
      sites. During economic downturns, the ability of private and government entities
      to spend on nuclear services may decline significantly. We cannot be certain
      that economic or political conditions will be generally favorable or that there
      will not be significant fluctuations adversely affecting our industry as a
      whole. In addition, our operations depend, in part, upon government funding,
      particularly funding levels at the DOE. Significant changes in the level of
      government funding (for example, the annual budget of the DOE) or specifically
      mandated levels for different programs that are important to our business could
      have an unfavorable impact on our business, financial position, results of
      operations and cash flows.
    The
      loss of one or a few customers could have an adverse effect on
      us.
    One
      or a
      few governmental customers have in the past, and may in the future, account
      for
      a significant portion of our revenue in any one year or over a period of several
      consecutive years. Because customers generally contract with us for specific
      projects, we may lose these significant customers from year to year as their
      projects with us are completed. Our inability to replace the business with
      other
      projects could have an adverse effect on our business and results of
      operations.
    As
      a government contractor, we are subject to extensive government regulation,
      and
      our failure to comply with applicable regulations could subject us to penalties
      that may restrict our ability to conduct our business.
    Our
      government contracts, which are primarily with the DOE, are a significant part
      of our business. Allowable costs under U.S. government contracts are subject
      to
      audit by the U.S. government. If these audits result in determinations that
      costs claimed as reimbursable are not allowed costs or were not
      allocated
    17
        in
      accordance with applicable regulations, we could be required to reimburse the
      U.S. government for amounts previously received.
    Government
      contracts are often subject to specific procurement regulations, contract
      provisions and a variety of other requirements relating to the formation,
      administration, performance and accounting of these contracts. Many of these
      contracts include express or implied certifications of compliance with
      applicable regulations and contractual provisions. If we fail to comply with
      any
      regulations, requirements or statutes, our existing government contracts could
      be terminated or we could be suspended from government contracting or
      subcontracting. If one or more of our government contracts are terminated for
      any reason, or if we are suspended or debarred from government work, we could
      suffer a significant reduction in expected revenues and profits. Furthermore,
      as
      a result of our government contracting, claims for civil or criminal fraud
      may
      be brought by the government or violations of these regulations, requirements
      or
      statutes.
    We
      are engaged in highly competitive businesses and typically must bid against
      other competitors to obtain major contracts.
    We
      are
      engaged in highly competitive business in which most of our government contracts
      and some of our commercial contracts are awarded through competitive bidding
      processes. We compete with national and regional firms with nuclear services
      practices, as well as small or local contractors. Some of our competitors have
      greater financial and other resources than we do, which can give them a
      competitive advantage. In addition, even if we are qualified to work on a new
      government contract, we might not be awarded the contract because of existing
      government policies designed to protect certain types of businesses and
      underrepresented minority contractors. Competition also places downward pressure
      on our contract prices and profit margins. Intense competition is expected
      to
      continue for nuclear service contracts. If we are unable to meet these
      competitive challenges, we could lose market share and experience on overall
      reduction in our profits.
    Our
      failure to maintain our safety record could have an adverse effect on our
      business.
    Our
      safety record is critical to our reputation. In addition, many of our government
      and commercial customers require that we maintain certain specified safety
      record guidelines to be eligible to bid for contracts with these customers.
      Furthermore, contract terms may provide for automatic termination in the event
      that our safety record fails to adhere to agreed-upon guidelines during
      performance of the contract. As a result, our failure to maintain our safety
      record could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
      and results of operations.
    We
      have a material weakness in our Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
      (“ICFR”) as of December 31, 2007.
    During
      our evaluation of our ICFR, we noted that the monitoring of pricing, invoicing,
      and the corresponding inventory for transportation and disposal process controls
      at certain facilities within the Company's Industrial Segment were ineffective
      and were not being applied consistently, which resulted in a material weakness
      to our ICFR, and could result in sales being priced and invoiced at amounts
      which were not approved by the customer, or the appropriate level of management,
      and inaccurate, corresponding transportation and disposal expense.  This
      has resulted in our disclosure that our ICFR were ineffective as of December
      31,
      2007.  Although this material weakness did not result in an adjustment to
      our quarterly or annual financial statements, if we are unable to remediate
      this
      material weakness, there is a reasonable possibility that a misstatement of
      our
      annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
      a
      timely basis.
Delaware
      law, certain of our charter provisions, our stock option plans and outstanding
      warrants and our preferred stock may inhibit a change of control under
      circumstances that could give you an opportunity to realize a premium over
      prevailing market prices.
    We
      are a
      Delaware corporation governed, in part, by the provisions of Section 203 of
      the
      General Corporation Law of Delaware, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section
      203 prohibits a Delaware public corporation from engaging in a “business
      combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of
    18
        three
      years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
      stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
      As a result of Section 203, potential acquirers may be discouraged from
      attempting to effect acquisition transactions with us, thereby possibly
      depriving our security holders of certain opportunities to sell, or otherwise
      dispose of, such securities at above-market prices pursuant to such
      transactions. Further, certain of our option plans provide for the immediate
      acceleration of, and removal of restrictions from, options and other awards
      under such plans upon a “change of control” (as defined in the respective
      plans). Such provisions may also have the result of discouraging acquisition
      of
      us.
    We
      have
      authorized and unissued 21,295,484 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares
      of Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2007. These unissued shares could be
      used
      by our management to make it more difficult, and thereby discourage, an attempt
      to acquire control of us.
    Risk
      Factors Regarding our Common Stock:
    The
      significant amount of outstanding options could affect our stock
      performance.
    As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we had outstanding options to purchase 2,590,026 shares
      of
      Common Stock at exercise prices from $1.22 to $2.98 per share. The existence
      of
      this quantity of rights to purchase our Common Stock could result in a
      significant dilution in the percentage ownership interest of our stockholders
      and the dilution in ownership value. Future sales of the shares issuable could
      also depress the market price of our Common Stock. 
    The
      price of our Common Stock is volatile.
    The
      trading price of our Common Stock has historically been volatile, and subject
      to
      large swings over short periods of time. As a result of the volatility of our
      Common Stock, an investment in our stock holds significant risk. 
    We
      do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable
      future.
    Since
      our
      inception, we have not paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not
      anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our credit
      facility prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our Common
      Stock.

    | ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES | 
Our
      principal executive office is in Atlanta, Georgia. Our Operations headquarters
      is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Our Nuclear Segment facilities are located
      in Gainesville, Florida; Kingston, Tennessee; Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and our
      newly acquired facility in Richland, Washington. Our Consulting Engineering
      Services is located in Ellisville, Missouri. Our Industrial Segment facilities
      are located in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Dayton, Ohio; Tulsa,
      Oklahoma; Valdosta, Georgia; and Baltimore, Maryland. Our Industrial Segment
      also has two non-operational facilities: Brownstown, Michigan, where we still
      maintain the property; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for which the leased
      property was released back to the owner in 2006 upon final remedation of the
      leased property. We also maintain Field Service offices in Stafford, Virginia;
      and Salisbury, Maryland. 
    We
      operate eleven facilities, five within our continuing operations with the
      remaining facilities within our discontinued operations. All of the facilities
      are in the United States. Five of our facilities are subject to mortgages as
      placed by our senior lender, with two (Kingston, Tennessee and Gainesville,
      Florida) within our continuing operations and three (Dayton, Ohio; Orlando,
      Florida; and Baltimore, Maryland) within our discontinued operations. On January
      8, 2008, and March 14, 2008, we completed the sale of our Perma-Fix of Maryland,
      Inc. and Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. facilities, respectively, resulting in the
      release of the
    19
        mortgages
      as placed by our senior lender for these facilities. As a result, four of our
      facilities now are subject to mortgages as placed by our senior lender. With
      the
      sale of our Perma-Fix Maryland, Inc., we no longer maintain Field Service
      offices. 
    We
      also
      lease properties for office space, all of which are located in the United States
      as described above. Included in our leased properties is M&EC's 150,000
      square-foot facility, located on the grounds of the DOE East Tennessee
      Technology Park located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. 
    We
      believe that the above facilities currently provide adequate capacity for our
      operations and that additional facilities are readily available in the regions
      in which we operate, which could support and supplement our existing
      facilities.
    | ITEM 3. | LEGAL
                  PROCEEDINGS | 
Perma-Fix
      of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”)
    A
      subsidiary within our Industrial Segment, PFD was defending a lawsuit styled
      Barbara
      Fisher v. Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc.,
      in the
      United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio (the “Fisher Lawsuit”).
      This citizen’s suit was brought under the Clean Air Act alleging, among other
      things, violations by PFD of state and federal clean air statutes connected
      with
      the operation of PFD’s facility located in Dayton, Ohio. As further previously
      disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Environmental
      Protection Agency, intervened in the Fisher Lawsuit alleging, among other
      things, substantially similar violations alleged in the Fisher Lawsuit (the
      “Government’s Lawsuit”).
    During
      December, 2007, PFD and the federal government entered into a Consent Decree
      formalizing settlement of the government’s portion of the above described
      lawsuit, which Consent Decree was approved by the federal court during the
      first
      quarter of 2008. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the settlement with the federal
      government resolved the government’s claims against PFD and requires PFD
      to:
    | · | pay
                a civil penalty of $360,000;  | 
| · | complete
                three supplemental environmental projects costing not less than $562,000
                to achieve air emission controls that go above and beyond those required
                by any current environmental
                regulations. | 
| · | implement
                a variety of state and federal air permit pollution control measures;
                and | 
| · | take
                a variety of voluntary steps to reduce the potential for emissions
                of air
                pollutants. | 
During
      December 2007, PFD and Plaintiff, Fisher, entered into a Settlement Agreement
      formalizing settlement of the Plaintiff’s claims in the above lawsuit. The
      settlement with Plaintiff Fisher resolved the Plaintiff’s claims against PFD
      and, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement,
      requires PFD to pay a total of $1,325,000. Our insurer has agreed to contribute
      $662,500 toward the settlement cost of the citizen’s suit portion of the
      litigation, which we received on March 13, 2008. Based on discussion with our
      insurer, our insurer will not pay any portion of the settlement with the federal
      government in the Government Lawsuit.
    In
      connection with PFD’s sale of substantially all of its assets during March,
      2008, as discussed in “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
      Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, the buyer has agreed to assume
      certain of PFD’s obligations under the Consent Decree and Settlement Agreement,
      including, without limitation, PFD’s obligation to implement supplemental
      environmental projects costing not less than $562,000, implement a variety
      of
      state and federal air permit control measures and reduce the potential for
      emissions of air pollutants.
    As
      previously reported, on April 12, 2007 our insurer agreed to reimburse PFD
      for
      reasonable defense costs of litigation incurred prior to our insurer’s
      assumption of the defense, but this agreement to defend and indemnify PFD was
      subject to the our insurer’s reservation of its rights to deny indemnity
      pursuant to
    20
        various
      policy provisions and exclusions, including, without limitation, payment of
      any
      civil penalties and fines, as well as our insurer’s right to recoup any defense
      cost it has advanced if our insurer later determines that its policy provides
      no
      coverage. When, our
      insurer withdrew
      its prior coverage denial and agreed to defend and indemnify PFD in the above
      described lawsuits, subject to certain reservation of rights, we had incurred
      more than $2.5
      million in costs in vigorously defending against the Fisher and the Government
      Lawsuits. To date, our insurer has reimbursed PFD approximately $2.5
      million for legal defense fees and disbursements, which we recorded as a
      recovery within our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2007.
      Partial reimbursement from our insurer of $750,000 was received on July 11,
      2007. A second reimbursement of approximately $1.75 million was received on
      August 17, 2007. Our insurer has advised us that they will reimburse us for
      approximately another $82,000 in legal fees and disbursements, which we recorded
      as a recovery within our discontinued operations in the 4th
      quarter
      2007. This reimbursement is subject to our insurer’s reservation of rights as
      noted above. On February 12, 2008, we received reimbursement of approximately
      $24,000 from our insurer. We anticipate receiving the remaining reimbursement
      by
      the end of the second quarter of 2008. 
    Perma-Fix
      of Orlando, Inc. (“PFO”)
    In
      2007,
      PFO was named as a defendant in four cases related to a series of toxic tort
      cases, the “Brottem Litigation” that are pending in the Circuit Court of
      Seminole County, Florida. All of the cases involve allegations of toxic chemical
      exposure at a former telecommunications manufacturing facility located in Lake
      Mary, Florida, known generally as the “Rinehart Road Plant”. PFO is presently a
      defendant, together with numerous other defendants, in the following four cases:
      Brottem
      v. Siemens, et al.; Canada v. Siemens et al.; Bennett v. Siemens et
      al.
      and the
      recently filed Culbreath
      v. Siemens et al.
      All of
      the cases seek unspecified money damages for alleged personal injuries or
      wrongful death. With the exception of PFO, the named defendants are all present
      or former owners of the subject property, including several prominent
      manufacturers that operated the Rinehart Road Plant. The allegations in all
      of
      the cases are essentially identical. 
    The
      basic
      allegations are that PFO provided “industrial waste management services” to the
      Defendants and that PFO negligently “failed to prevent” the discharge of toxic
      chemicals or negligently “failed to warn” the plaintiffs about the dangers
      presented by the improper handling and disposal of chemicals at the facility.
      The complaints make no attempt to specify the time and manner of the alleged
      exposures in connection with PFO’s “industrial waste management services.” PFO
      has moved to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action.
    At
      this
      time, the cases involve a large number of claims involving personal injuries.
      At
      this very early stage, it is not possible to accurately assess PFO’s potential
      liability. Our insurer has agreed to defend and indemnify us in these lawsuits,
      excluding our deductible of $250,000, subject to a reservation of rights to
      deny
      indemnity pursuant to various provisions and exclusions under our policy.
    Perma-Fix
      of Dayton (“PFD”), Perma-Fix of Florida (“PFF”), Perma-Fix of Orlando (“PFO”),
      Perma-Fix of South Georgia (“PFSG”), and Perma-Fix of Memphis
      (“PFM”)
    In
      May
      2007, the above facilities were named Partially Responsible Parties (“PRPs”) at
      the Marine Shale Superfund site in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana (“Site”).
      Information provided by the EPA indicates that, from 1985 through 1996, the
      Perma-Fix facilities above were responsible for shipping 2.8% of the total
      waste
      volume received by Marine Shale. Subject to finalization of this estimate by
      the
      PRP group, PFF, PFO and PFD could be considered de-minimus at .06%, .07% and
      .28% respectively. PFSG and PFM would be major at 1.12% and 1.27% respectively.
      However, at this time the contributions of all facilities are
      consolidated.
    As
      of the
      date of this report, Louisiana DEQ (“LDEQ”) has collected approximately $8.4
      million for the remediation of the site and is proceeding with the remediation
      of the site. The EPA’s unofficial estimate to remediate the site is between $9
      and $12 million; however, based on preliminary outside consulting work hired
      by
      the PRP group, which we are a party to, the remediation costs can be below
      EPA’s
      estimation. As
    21
        part
      of
      the PRP Group, we have paid an initial assessment of $10,000 in the fourth
      quarter of 2007, which was allocated among the facilities. As of the date of
      this report, we cannot accurately access our liability.
    In
      addition to the above matters and in the normal course of conducting our
      business, we are involved in various other litigations. We are not a party
      to
      any litigation or governmental proceeding which our management believes could
      result in any judgments or fines against us that would have a material adverse
      affect on our financial position, liquidity or results of future
      operations.

      (collectively, the “Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”). See
“Special Note regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this
      report.
    Management's
      discussion and analysis is based, among other things, upon our audited
      consolidated financial statements and includes our accounts and the accounts
      of
      our wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany
      balances and transactions.
    The
      following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
      consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 8
      of
      this report.
    Overview
    2007
      has
      been a year of many changes for us starting with the decision of the Company
      to
      divest our Industrial Segment and the acquisition of Nuvotec USA, Inc. and
      its
      subsidiary, which we now call Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”), on
      June 13, 2007. Excluding the results of our discontinued operations, we reported
      revenue of $54,102,000 and income from continuing operations applicable to
      Common Stock of $517,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Excluding
      the revenue of our newly acquired PFNWR facility of $8,439,000, our Nuclear
      Segment revenue decreased $6,158,000 or 12.5% from 2006. The primary driver
      of
      this decrease was reduction in waste receipts from the federal government and
      brokers. The acquisition of our PFNWR facility positions the Nuclear Segment’s
      future revenue stream well as the facility is located adjacent to the Hanford
      site, which represents one of the most expansive of DOE’s nuclear weapons’
facilities to remediate. Our Engineering Segment had revenues of $2,398,000,
      a
      decrease of $960,000 from 2006, representing a 28.6% decrease from the previous
      year. The decrease was due to lower billable hours as more resources were
      internalized to support the acquisition of the PFNWR facility and the
      divestiture of the Industrial Segment. The backlog of stored waste within the
      Nuclear Segment was reduced to $9,964,000, which excludes $4,683,000 in backlog
      from our PFNWR facility at December 31, 2007, down from $12,492,000 in 2006,
      reflecting our emphasis on improved processing and disposal. 
    In
      2007,
      our balance sheet was heavily impacted by the acquisition of the PFNWR facility,
      as well as the reclassification of approximately $11,403,000 of debt owed to
      certain of our lenders from long term to current. Working capital at December
      31, 2007 is a negative $17,154,000 as compared to positive $12,810,000 at
      December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, our fixed charge coverage ratio
      contained in our PNC loan agreement fell below the minimum requirement. Although
      we have obtained a waiver from our lender for this non-compliance as of December
      31, 2007, we do not expect to be in compliance with this fixed charge coverage
      ratio as of the end of the first and second quarters of 2008 and, as a result,
      we were required under generally accepted accounting principles to reclassify
      the long term portion of this debt to current due to this likelihood of future
      default. Furthermore, we have a cross default provision on our 8.625% promissory
      note with a separate bank and have reclassified the long term portion of that
      debt to current as well. These reclassifications negatively impacted our working
      capital. If we are unable to meet the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future,
      we believe that our lender will waive this non-compliance or will revise this
      covenant so that we are in compliance; however, there is no assurance that
      we
      will be able to secure a waiver or revision from our lender. If we fail to
      meet
      our fixed charge coverage ratio in the future and our lender does not waive
      the
      non-compliance or revise this covenant so that we are in compliance, our lenders
      could accelerate the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. In
      the
      event that our lender accelerates the payment of our borrowings, we may not
      have
      sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our credit facilities and other
      indebtedness. Our working capital was also negatively impacted by the
      pending
    28
        sale
      of
      certain facilities within our Industrial Segment and certain debt obligations,
      in addition to the $11,403,000 mentioned above, which will become due in 2008
      and were reclassify from long term to current. We anticipate restructuring
      certain debt in 2008 to improve our working capital position. Our working
      capital continues to be impacted by certain liabilities associated with our
      discontinued operations. 
    Due
      to
      our inability to demonstrate that we will comply with the fixed charge coverage
      ratio in our loan agreement as of the end of the first and second quarters
      of
      2008, resulting in the long-term portion of our indebtedness to certain of
      our
      lenders of approximately $11,403,000 being reclassified to current, our working
      capital deficit of approximately $17,154,000 and certain of our lenders’ ability
      to accelerate our indebtedness under our credit facilities, there is substantial
      doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Consequently, our
      independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory
      paragraph addressing this uncertainty. Although we believe our lender will
      waive
      our failure or potential failure to meet this financial covenant or revise
      the
      covenant so that we are in compliance, as of the date of this report our lender
      has not issued this waiver or revision. There are no assurances that our lender
      will waive or revise this covenant.

      Revenue
      of $8,439,000 from PFNWR for 2007 includes approximately $5,568,000 relating
      to
      wastes generated by the federal government, either directly or indirectly as
      a
      subcontractor to the federal government. Of the $5,568,000 in revenue,
      approximately $3,100,000 was from Fluor Hanford, a contractor to the federal
      government. Revenue in 2007 from Fluor Hanford totaled approximately $6,985,000
      or 12.9 % of total consolidated revenue.
    The
      Nuclear Segment experienced a $2,281,000 increase in revenue for the year ended
      December 31, 2007 over the same period in 2006. Total revenue within the Nuclear
      Segment included $8,439,000 of revenue from our PFNWR facility, which was
      acquired on June 13, 2007. Excluding the revenue of our PFNWR facility, revenue
      from our Nuclear Segment decreased approximately $6,158,000 or 12.5% as compared
      to the same period of 2006. Revenue from government generators (which includes
      Bechtel Jacobs, LATA/Parallax and Fluor Hanford) decreased $8,794,000 (excluding
      government revenue of $5,568,000 from our PFNWR facility) or 26.5% due to
      overall lower government receipts. Due to varying waste constituencies, waste
      received and its related pricing can vary. 2007 saw a decline in average pricing
      of 21.6% while volume increased 7.9%. Although our receipts were down, the
      increase in volume was the result of the Company’s continued effort to process
      and dispose more of its backlog. The backlog of stored waste within the Nuclear
      Segment was reduced to $9,964,000, excluding the backlog of our PFNWR facility
      of $4,683,000 at December 31, 2007, down from $12,492,000 in 2006, which
      reflects increases in processing and disposal for the year. Waste backlog will
      continue to fluctuate in 2008 depending on the complexity of waste streams
      and
      the timing of receipts and processing of materials. The high levels of backlog
      material continue to position the segment well for increases in future
      processing revenue prospective. The Bechtel Jacobs contract in Oak Ridge is
      continuing at reduced waste volumes due to the large legacy waste clean-up
      project completion in 2005. 2006 revenues of our Nuclear Segment include
      approximately $1.1 million recognized from Bechel Jacobs as a result of a
      settlement of a lawsuit in connection with a dispute over surcharges from waste
      treated in 2003. The decrease for LATA/Parallax is due to significant progress
      made by LATA/Parallax in completing legacy waste removal actions as part of
      their clean-up project at Portsmouth for the Department of Energy. Fluor Hanford
      revenue increased approximately $2,656,000 (excluding approximately $3,100,000
      from PFNWR) or 216.1% due mainly to increased receipts at our DSSI facility.
      Hazardous and non-hazardous revenue increased approximately $1,725,000 or 51.6%
      as compared to the same period of 2006 due to a combination of increased volume
      of 19.6% and price increases of 26.7% in per drum equivalent of waste processed.
      Revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased $960,000 or 28.6% due to less
      billable hours and related reimbursable costs in part to a large event project
      in 2006 which did not repeat in 2007 and more hours spent supporting the
      divestiture of the Industrial Segment facilities that are for sale.

Excluding
        the cost of goods sold of approximately $4,938,000 for the PFNWR facility,
        the
        Nuclear Segment’s cost of goods sold for the year ending December 31, 2007 were
        up approximately $1,768,000. Processing and disposal costs increased due
        to
        increased volume as well as different mix of waste. In addition, costs related
        to the new “SouthBay” area at M&EC increased due to labor and analytical
        expenses. In 2007, M&EC completed its facility expansion (“SouthBay”) to
        treat DOE special process wastes from the DOE Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion
        Plant
        located in Piketon, Ohio under the subcontract awarded by LATA/Parallax
        Portsmouth LLC to our Nuclear Segment in 2006. The Engineering Segment costs
        fell due to lower reimbursable expenses related to a large event project
        in
        2006. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization
        expense of $3,750,000 and $2,919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007
        and
        2006, respectively, reflecting an increase of $831,000 over 2006 resulting
        primarily from the completion of the “SouthBay” area and the acquisition of
        PFNWR.

The
        Nuclear Segment gross profit, excluding approximately $3,501,000 from PFNWR
        facility, saw a decrease of 13% from 2006 primarily due to lower volume of
        waste
        received. In addition, revenue mix shifted to processing and disposal of
        higher
        volumes of lower price waste resulting in higher costs of sales. In addition,
        surcharges were significantly lower in 2007 which impacted gross profit and
        gross margin. The Bechtel Jacobs surcharge of $1.1 million in 2006 had no
        associated costs which increased prior year’s gross profit. The Engineering
        Segment gross profit decreased though its gross profit percentage increased.
        The
        sizable portion of the large event project in 2006 included low margin pass
        through expenses, resulting in higher gross profit and lower margins in 2006.

Excluding
        the SG&A of our PFNWR facility, our 2007 SG&A expenses decreased
        throughout the Company over 2006. The decrease in administrative SG&A was
        the result of lower payroll related expense totaling approximately $688,000
        related to a reduction in general labor and bonus expenses. This decrease
        was
        offset by higher public company expense totaling approximately $250,000 due
        to
        an increase in director fees for our Board of Director services and payment
        of a
        one time fee to a member of our Board of Directors as compensation for his
        service in negotiating the agreement in principal to resolve a certain legal
        matter with the EPA against our PFD facility. In addition, we had higher
        outside
        service fees of approximately $268,000 related to consulting and the adoption
        of
        FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An
        Interpretation of FASB No.109” (FIN 48) and other tax related issues. The
        Nuclear Segment’s SG&A decrease is due to lower payroll related expenses as
        commissions were down consistent with reduced revenues and severance expense
        was
        down from 2006. The Engineering Segment decrease was the result of a decrease
        in
        payroll related expenses as commissions and headcount were down but were
        offset
        by an increase in bad debt expense. Included in SG&A expenses is
        depreciation and amortization expense of $117,000 and $127,000 for the years
        ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
      Loss
        (Gain) on Disposal of Property and Equipment
      The
        loss
        on fixed asset disposal for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $71,000,
        as
        compared to a loss of $48,000 for the same period in 2006. The loss for 2007
        was
        attributed mainly to the disposal of idle equipment at our M&EC and DSSI
        facilities and the loss for 2006 was attributed mainly to the disposal of
        idle
        equipment at our DSSI facility.  
      Interest

      Interest
        income increased $32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared
        to
        2006.  The increase is attributable to interest on the finite risk sinking
        fund which was increased by $1,000,000 in February of 2007, as well as an
        additional increase of $258,000 for our PFNWR facility closure policy. In
        addition, the increase in 2007 is also attributed to interest earned from
        additional cash in the Company’s sweep account during the first six months of
        2007.

The
        increase in 2007 is due primarily to increased external debt related to the
        Nuvotec acquisition of approximately $272,000. In addition, revolver debt
        at PNC
        increased due to increased borrowings made necessary for the acquisition,
        resulting in approximately $59,000 in additional interest expense. Offsetting
        these increases were reduced interest expense of approximately $85,000 on
        term
        note, capitalized interest of approximately $144,000 related to the “SouthBay”
construction completed in 2007, and reduced interest expense from diminishing
        principal on other equipment related loans.

      Income
        Tax
      We
        have
        provided a valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets.
        We will continue to monitor the realizability of these net deferred tax assets
        and will reverse some or all of the valuation allowance as appropriate. In
        making this determination, we consider a number of factors including whether
        there is a historical pattern of consistent and significant profitability
        in
        combination with our assessment of forecasted profitability in the future
        periods. Such patterns and forecasts allow us to determine whether our most
        significant deferred tax assets such as net operating losses will be realizable
        in future years, in whole or in part. These deferred tax assets in particular
        will require us to generate taxable income in the applicable jurisdictions
        in
        future years in order to recognize their economic benefits. We do not believe
        that we have sufficient evidence to conclude that some or all of the valuation
        allowance on deferred tax assets should be reversed. However, facts and
        circumstances could change in future years and at such point we may reverse
        the
        allowance as appropriate. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
        we had
        $0 and approximately $83,000, respectively, in federal income tax expense,
        as a
        result of a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset and our
        alternative minimum tax liability at December 31, 2007, and $0 and $424,000,
        respectively, in state income taxes primarily for our subsidiary, M&EC, in
        Oak Ridge, Tennessee.  See “Note 12” to “Notes to Consolidated Financial
        Statements” for a reconciliation between taxes at the statutory rate and the
        provision for income taxes as reported.

Nuclear
        Segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 improved over 2005 by
        4.6%
        of consolidated revenue or $2,178,000. Revenue of our Nuclear Segment under
        contracts with Bechtel Jacobs is decreasing as projects at Oak Ridge are
        near
        completion and as a result of certain other projects with the federal government
        in which we have been issued subcontracts previously managed by Bechtel Jacobs
        being assumed by Latax/Parallax. 2006 revenues of our Nuclear Segment include
        approximately $1.1 million recognized as a result of a settlement of a lawsuit
        in connection with a dispute over surcharges from waste treated in 2003.
        While
        this settlement was finalized in January 2007, it was estimatable and probable
        as of December 31, 2006. This amount did not exceed contract costs through
        December 31, 2006 and no contingencies existed in regards to this matter
        at
        year-end. Waste received directly from the government increased as government
        volume normally varies year over year due to funding, volume, and other factors.
        Hazardous and non hazardous revenue was down reflecting the completion of
        a
        special event soil project from existing industrial customers in 2005 which
        did
        not repeat in 2006. See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Significant
        Customers” later in this Managements' Discussion and Analysis for further
        discussion on our revenues and contracts with the government and their
        contractors. The backlog of stored waste at December 31, 2006 was $12,492,000
        compared to $16,374,000 at December 31, 2005. Waste receipts were consistent
        with 2005, but the backlog reflects increases in processing and disposal
        for the
        year. The high levels of backlog material continue to position the segment
        well
        from future processing revenue prospective. The Engineering Segment experienced
        an increase in revenue in 2006 as a result of a special event
        project.

          The
        Nuclear Segment’s cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
        down slightly from 2005 despite increased revenue. Transportation and disposal
        costs were down due to increased government revenue, where disposal and
        transportation costs are often paid for by the customer. In addition, we
        recognized all costs related to the Bechtel Jacobs surcharge settlement when
        they were incurred, and therefore we did not have any costs in the current
        year
        related to $1,119,000 in revenue in 2006. The Engineering Segment expense
        increases reflected increased reimbursable expenses related to the large
        event
        project in 2006. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and
        amortization expense of $2,919,000 and $2,765,000 for the year ended December
        31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, reflecting an increase of $154,000 over

The

        profit for the Nuclear Segment increased $2,829,000 in 2006 over 2005 as
        we
        received more government waste, which typically does not require transportation
        and disposal expense, and produces higher margins. In addition, the surcharge
        settlement with Bechtel Jacobs did not have any costs of goods sold, and
        thus
        increased the gross margin. The gross profit of the Engineering Segment
        increased as a result of increased revenue.

        experienced an increase in SG&A expenses throughout the Company over 2005.
        The increase in corporate administrative overhead was primarily payroll related.
        We incurred corporate expenses that were higher than 2005 for management
        incentives, costs related to expensing of stock options under SFAS 123R (see
        “Note 3 – Share Based Compensation” of Consolidated Financial Statements),
        costs related to the relocation of the corporate office and internal costs
        related to the due diligence of a potential acquisition.
        The
        Nuclear Segment increased its SG&A expenses to expand its management staff
        to more effectively bid on new contracts, manage its facilities and increase
        its
        efforts towards compliance with corporate policies and regulatory agencies.
        The
        increase in SG&A costs in our Engineering Segment were payroll related.
        Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of
        $127,000 and $135,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
        respectively.
      Loss
        (Gain) on Disposal of Property and Equipment
      The
        loss
        on fixed asset disposal/impairment for the year ended December 31, 2006,
        was
        $48,000, as compared to a loss of $6,000 for the same period in 2005.  The
        losses for 2006 and 2005 were attributed mainly to the disposal of idle
        equipment at our Nuclear facility, specifically our DSSI facility.

        income increased $154,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared
        to
        the 2005.  The increase was due to proceeds from warrants and options
        exercised and employee stock purchase plan proceeds which totaled $12,079,000.
        Also, an additional funding of our finite risk insurance policy resulted
        in
        additional interest earned for the year. See later in this Management's
        Discussion and Analysis – “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further
        discussion on the finite risk insurance policy.

        to
        the corresponding period of 2005.

The
          decrease in 2006 is principally a result of the overall improvement in
          our debt
          position accelerated by the exercise of warrants and options for purchase
          of
          7,106,790 shares of our Common Stock, as well as proceeds from our employee
          stock purchase plan, which added $12,709,000 in cash. Reduced borrowing
          on the
          revolver, along with diminishing principal on other equipment related loans
          continues to reduce our interest expense.
      Interest
        Expense - Financing Fees
      Interest
        expense-financing fees decreased $126,000 for the year ended December 31,
        2006,
        as compared to the corresponding period of 2005. Expenses in 2006 reflect
        the
        amortization of our prepaid financing fee for our term loan which expires
        in May
        of 2008. Expense for 2005 includes a fee paid to PNC for the increase in
        the
        term note by approximately $4,400,000 (See “Financing Activities” in this
        Management Discussion & Analysis). The remaining financing fees are
        principally associated with the PNC revolving credit and term loan and are
        amortized to expense over the term of the loan agreements.  As of December
        31, 2006, the unamortized balance of prepaid financing fees is $267,000. 
These prepaid financing fees will be amortized through May 2008 at a rate
        of
        $16,000 per month which approximates the rate using the effective interest
        method.
      Income
        Tax
      For
        the
        years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had approximately $83,000 and
        $50,000, respectively, in federal income tax expense, as a result of a 100%
        valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset resulting from our
        alternative minimum tax liability at December 31, 2006, and $424,000 and
        $382,000, respectively, in state income taxes primarily for our subsidiary,
        M&EC, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. See “Note 12” to “Notes to Consolidated
        Financial Statements” for a reconciliation between taxes at the statutory rate
        and the provision for income taxes as reported.
      Discontinued
        Operations
      Our
        Industrial Segment has sustained losses in each year since 2000. The facilities
        in our Industrial Segment provide on-and-off site treatment, storage, processing
        and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, and wastewater.
        Certain of our facilities within the Industrial Segment provide waste management
        services to governmental agencies. On May 18, 2007, our Board of Directors
        authorized management to divest all or a part of our Industrial Segment.
        The
        decision to consider the possible sale of all, or a part of, our Industrial
        Segment is based on our belief that our Nuclear Segment represents a sustainable
        long-term growth driver of our business. During 2007, we have entered into
        several letters of intent to sell various portions of our Industrial Segment.
        All of the letters of intent have expired or terminated without being completed,
        except for the following: we completed, on January 8, 2008, the sale of
        substantially all of the assets of Perma-Fix Maryland, Inc. (“PFMD”) for
        $3,825,000 in cash, subject to a
      36
          working
        capital adjustment during 2008, and assumption by the buyer of certain
        liabilities of PFMD and during March 2008, we completed the sale of
        substantially all of the assets of Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”) for
        approximately $2,143,000 in cash, subject to certain working capital adjustments
        after the closing, plus assumption of certain of PFD’s liabilities and
        obligations by the buyer, (including, without limitation, certain obligations
        under the Settlement Agreement entered into by PFD in connection with the
        settlement of plaintiff’s claims under the Fisher Lawsuit, as discussed and
        defined below, and approximately $562,000 in PFD’s obligations for and relating
        to supplemental environmental projects that PFD is obligated to perform under
        the Consent Decree entered into with the federal government in settlement
        of the
        Government’s Lawsuit as discussed and defined below) in connection with the
        Fisher Lawsuit. We are negotiating the sale of Perma-Fix South Georgia, Inc.
        (“PFSG”). We anticipate that the sale of PFSG will be completed by the end of
        May 2008. The terms of the sale of PFSG are subject to being finalized. We
        are
        attempting to sell the other companies and/or operations within our Industrial
        Segment, but as of the date of this report, we have not entered into any
        agreements regarding these other companies or operations within our Industrial
        Segment.
      At
        May
        25, 2007, the Industrial Segment met the held for sale criteria under Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the
        Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, and therefore, certain assets and
        liabilities of the Industrial Segment reclassified as discontinued operations
        in
        the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we have ceased depreciation of the
        Industrial Segment’s long-lived assets classified as held for sale. The results
        of operations and cash flows of the Industrial Segment have been reported
        in the
        Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations for all periods
        presented. 
      We
        believe that the divestiture of certain facilities within our Industrial
        Segment
        has not occurred within the anticipated time period due to the current state
        of
        our economy which has impacted potential buyers’ ability to obtain financing. In
        addition, the original letter of intent entered between us and a potential
        buyer
        included the majority of the companies within our Industrial Segment. This
        sale
        did not materialize, leading us to pursue the potential sale of each company
        individually. Although this process has taken more time than anticipated
        for
        numerous reasons, we continue to market the facilities within our Industrial
        Segment for eventual sale. 
      Our
        Industrial Segment generated revenues of $30,407,000, $35,148,000, and
        $41,489,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively,
        and had net loss, net of taxes, of $9,727,000, $933,000 and $762,000 for
        the
        same periods, respectively. Our net loss, net of taxes, for 2007 was impacted
        by
        a number of items listed below. The decline in revenues since 2005 is due
        to
        termination of certain government and commercial contracts. 
      A
        subsidiary within our Industrial Segment, PFD, was defending a lawsuit styled
        Barbara
        Fisher v. Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc.,
        in the
        United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio (the “Fisher Lawsuit”).
        This citizen’s suit was brought under the Clean Air Act alleging, among other
        things, violations by PFD of state and federal clean air statutes connected
        with
        the operation of PFD’s facility located in Dayton, Ohio. As further previously
        disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Environmental
        Protection Agency, intervened in the Fisher Lawsuit alleging, among other
        things, substantially similar violations alleged in the Fisher Lawsuit (the
        “Government’s Lawsuit”).
      During
        December, 2007, PFD and the federal government entered into a Consent Decree
        formalizing settlement of the government’s portion of the above described
        lawsuit, which Consent Decree was approved by the federal court during the
        first
        quarter of 2008. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the settlement with the
        federal
        government resolved the government’s claims against PFD and requires PFD
        to:
      | · | pay
                  a civil penalty of $360,000;  | 
37
          | · | complete
                  three supplemental environmental projects costing not less than
                  $562,000
                  to achieve air emission controls that go above and beyond those
                  required
                  by any current environmental
                  regulations. | 
| · | implement
                  a variety of state and federal air permit pollution control measures;
                  and | 
| · | take
                  a variety of voluntary steps to reduce the potential for emissions
                  of air
                  pollutants. | 
During
        December 2007, PFD and Plaintiff, Fisher, entered into a Settlement Agreement
        formalizing settlement of the Plaintiff’s claims in the above lawsuit. The
        settlement with Plaintiff Fisher resolved the Plaintiff’s claims against PFD
        and, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement,
        requires PFD to pay a total of $1,325,000. Our insurer has agreed to contribute
        $662,500 toward the settlement cost of the citizen’s suit portion of the
        litigation, which we received on March 13, 2008. Based on discussion with
        our
        insurer, our insurer will not pay any portion of the settlement with the
        federal
        government in the Government Lawsuit.
      As
        of
        December 31, 2007, we have recorded a total of $1,625,000 of charges in our
        discontinued operations for settlement by PFD of the Fisher Lawsuit and the
        Government Lawsuit.
      In
        connection with PFD’s sale of substantially all of its assets during March,
        2008, as discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations”, the buyer has agreed to assume certain of
        PFD’s obligations under the Consent Decree and Settlement Agreement, including,
        without limitation, PFD’s obligation to implement supplemental environmental
        projects costing not less than $562,000, implement a variety of state and
        federal air permit control measures and reduce the potential for emissions
        of
        air pollutants.
      As
        previously reported, on April 12, 2007 our insurer agreed to reimburse PFD
        for
        reasonable defense costs of litigation incurred prior to our insurer’s
        assumption of the defense, but this agreement to defend and indemnify PFD
        was
        subject to the our insurer’s reservation of its rights to deny indemnity
        pursuant to various policy provisions and exclusions, including, without
        limitation, payment of any civil penalties and fines, as well as our insurer’s
        right to recoup any defense cost it has advanced if our insurer later determines
        that its policy provides no coverage. When, our
        insurer withdrew
        its prior coverage denial and agreed to defend and indemnify PFD in the above
        described lawsuits, subject to certain reservation of rights, we had incurred
        more than $2.5
        million in costs in vigorously defending against the Fisher and the Government
        Lawsuits. To date, our insurer has reimbursed PFD approximately $2.5
        million for legal defense fees and disbursements, which we recorded as a
        recovery within our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2007.
        Partial reimbursement from our insurer of $750,000 was received on July 11,
        2007. A second reimbursement of approximately $1.75 million was received
        on
        August 17, 2007. Our insurer has advised us that they will reimburse us for
        approximately another $82,000 in legal fees and disbursements, which we recorded
        as a recovery within our discontinued operations in the 4th
        quarter
        2007. This reimbursement is subject to our insurer’s reservation of rights as
        noted above. On February 12, 2008, we received reimbursement of approximately
        $24,000 from our insurer. We anticipate receiving the remaining reimbursement
        by
        the end of the second quarter of 2008. 
      As
        conditions warranted, we performed an updated internal analysis on the tangible
        and intangible assets to test for impairment in the Industrial Segment as
        required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 144, “Accounting
        for the Impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and
        Other Intangible Assets”. Our analysis, as required by SFAS 144, included the
        comparison of the offered sale price less cost to sell to the carrying value
        of
        the investment under each LOI separately. Based on our analysis, we concluded
        that the carrying value of the tangible assets for Perma-Fix Dayton, Inc.,
        Perma-Fix of Treatment Services, Inc., Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc., and Perma-Fix
        of South Georgia, Inc. facilities exceeded its fair value, less cost to sell.
        Consequently, in 2007, we recorded $2,727,000, $1,804,000, $507,000 and
        $1,329,000, respectively, in tangible asset impairment loss for each of
        the
      38
          facilities,
        which are included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes” on our
        Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.
        We
        also performed financial valuations on the intangible assets of the Industrial
        Segment as a whole to test for impairment as required by SFAS 142. We concluded
        that no other tangible and intangible impairments existed as of December
        31,
        2007. 
      Assets
        related to discontinued operations total $14,341,000 and $22,750,000 as of
        December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and liabilities related to
        discontinued operations total $11,949,000 and $10,632,000 as of December
        31,
        2007 and 2006, respectively (see “Note 6 – Discontinued Operations” in
“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for assets and liabilities of
        discontinued operations held for sale). 
      Non
        Operational Facilities
      The
        Industrial Segment includes two previously shut-down facilities which were
        and
        continue to be presented as discontinued operations in prior years. These
        facilities include Perma-Fix of Pittsburgh, Inc. (“PFP”) and Perma-Fix of
        Michigan, Inc (“PFMI”). Our decision to discontinue operations at PFP was due to
        our reevaluation of the facility and our inability to achieve profitability
        at
        the facility. During February 2006, we completed the remediation of the leased
        property and the equipment at PFP, and released the property back to the
        owner.
        Our decision to discontinue operations at PFMI was principally a result of
        two
        fires that significantly disrupted operations at the facility in 2003, and
        the
        facility’s continued drain on the financial resources of our Industrial Segment.
        As a result of the discontinued operations at the PFMI facility, we were
        required to complete certain closure and remediation activities pursuant
        to our
        RCRA permit, which were completed in January 2006. In September 2006, PFMI
        signed a Corrective Action Consent Order with the State of Michigan, requiring
        performance of studies and development and execution of plans related to
        the
        potential clean-up of soils in portions of the property. The level and cost
        of
        the clean-up and remediation are determined by state mandated requirements.
        Upon
        discontinuation of operations in 2004, we engaged our engineering firm, SYA,
        to
        perform an analysis and related estimate of the cost to complete the RCRA
        portion of the closure/clean-up costs and the potential long-term remediation
        costs. Based upon this analysis, we estimated the cost of this environmental
        closure and remediation liability to be $2,464,000. During 2006, based on
        state-mandated criteria, we re-evaluated our required activities to close
        and
        remediate the facility, and during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we began
        implementing the modified methodology to remediate the facility. As a result
        of
        the reevaluation and the change in methodology, we reduced the accrual by
        $1,182,000. We
        have spent approximately $710,000 for closure costs since September 30, 2004,
        of
        which $81,000 has been spent during 2007 and $74,000 was spent in 2006. In
        the
        4th
        quarter of 2007, we reduced our reserve by $9,000 as a result of our
        reassessment of the cost of remediation. We have $563,000 accrued for the
        closure, as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate spending $401,000 in
        2008
        with the remainder over the next five years. Based on the current status
        of the
        Corrective Action, we believe that the remaining reserve is adequate to cover
        the liability. 
      As
        of December 31, 2007, PFMI has a pension payable of $1,287,000. The
        pension plan withdrawal liability, is a result of the termination of the
        union
        employees of PFMI. The PFMI union employees participate in the Central States
        Teamsters Pension Fund ("CST"), which provides that a partial or full
        termination of union employees may result in a withdrawal liability, due
        from
        PFMI to CST. The recorded liability is based upon a demand letter received
        from
        CST in August 2005 that provided for the payment of $22,000 per month over
        an
        eight year period. This obligation is recorded as a long-term liability,
        with a
        current portion of $158,000 that we expect to pay over the next
        year.
      Liquidity
        and Capital Resources 
      Our
        capital requirements consist of general working capital needs, scheduled
        principal payments on our debt obligations and capital leases, remediation
        projects and planned capital expenditures. Our capital resources consist
        primarily of cash generated from operations, funds available under our revolving
        credit facility and proceeds from issuance of our Common Stock. Our capital
        resources are impacted by changes in accounts receivable as a result of revenue
        fluctuation, economic trends, collection activities, and the profitability
        of
        the segments.
      39
          At
        December 31, 2007, we had cash of $102,000. The following table reflects
        the
        cash flow activities during 2007.

We
        are in
        a net borrowing position and therefore attempt to move all excess cash balances
        immediately to the revolving credit facility, so as to reduce debt and interest
        expense. We utilize a centralized cash management system, which includes
        remittance lock boxes and is structured to accelerate collection activities
        and
        reduce cash balances, as idle cash is moved without delay to the revolving
        credit facility or the Money Market account, if applicable. The cash balance
        at
        December 31, 2007, primarily represents minor petty cash and local account
        balances used for miscellaneous services and supplies. 
      Operating
        Activities
      Accounts
        Receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, totaled $13,536,000,
        an
        increase of $4,048,000 over the December 31, 2006, balance of $9,488,000.
        Our
        newly acquired PFNWR facility accounted for $1,373,000 of the increase.
        Excluding the increase of PFNWR facility, the increase of approximately
        $2,886,000 in account receivables in our Nuclear Segment relates to an increase
        in billing of unbilled receivables of approximately $1,200,000 and a large
        shipment received late in the year resulting in invoicing totaling approximately
        $1,500,000. The Engineering Segment decreased by $211,000 which relates to
        lower
        revenue in 2007.
      Unbilled
        receivables are generated by differences between invoicing timing and the
        percentage of completion methodology used for revenue recognition purposes.
        As
        major processing phases are completed and the costs incurred, we recognize
        the
        corresponding percentage of revenue. We
        experience delays in processing invoices due to the complexity of the
        documentation that is required for invoicing, as well as, the difference
        between
        completion of revenue recognition milestones and agreed upon invoicing terms,
        which results in unbilled receivables. The timing differences occur for several
        reasons. Partially from delays in the final processing of all wastes associated
        with certain work orders and partially from delays for analytical testing
        that
        is required after we have processed waste but prior to our release of waste
        for
        disposal. The difference also occurs due to our end disposal sites requirement
        of pre-approval prior to our shipping waste for disposal and our contract
        terms
        with the customer that we dispose of the waste prior to invoicing. These
        delays
        usually take several months to complete. As of December 31, 2007, unbilled
        receivables totaled $14,093,000, a decrease of $820,000 from the December 31,
        2006, balance of $14,913,000. Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. facility
        accounted for $1,712,000 of the unbilled as of December 31, 2007. Excluding
        the
        unbilled receivables of our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. facility,
        the
        reduction of $2,532,000 of the unbilled receivable was the result of continued
        efforts to reduce this balance. The delays in processing invoices, as mentioned
        above, usually take several months to complete but are normally considered
        collectible within twelve months. However, as we now have historical data
        to
        review the timing of these delays, we realize that certain issues, including
        but
        not limited to delays at our third party disposal site, can exacerbate
        collection of some of these receivables greater than twelve months. Therefore,
        we have segregated the unbilled receivables between current and long term.
        The
        current portion of the unbilled receivables as of December 31, 2007 is
        $10,321,000, a decrease of $1,992,000 from the balance of $12,313,000 as
        of
        December 31, 2006. The long term portion as of December 31, 2007 is $3,772,000,
        an increase of $1,172,000 from the balance of $2,600,000 as of December 31,
        2006.
      40
          As
        of
        December 31, 2007, total consolidated accounts payable was $5,010,000, an
        increase of $2,555,000 from the December 31, 2006, balance of $2,455,000.
        Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. accounted for $1,110,000 of this increase.
        The remaining increase of $1,445,000 is the result of our continued efforts
        to
        manage payment terms with our vendors to maximize our cash position throughout
        all segments. Accounts payable can increase in conjunction with decreases
        in
        accrued expenses depending on the timing of vendor invoices. We continue
        to
        manage payment terms with our vendors to maximize our cash position throughout
        all segments. 
      Accrued
        Expenses as of December 31, 2007, totaled $9,207,000, an increase of $4,457,000
        over the December 31, 2006, balance of $4,750,000. Accrued expenses are made
        up
        of accrued compensation, interest payable, insurance payable, certain tax
        accruals, and other miscellaneous accruals. Perma-Fix Northwest Richland,
        Inc.
        accounted for $362,000 of this balance. The remainder of the increase is
        primarily due to reclass of interests payable of approximately $2,568,000
        from
        long term to current for two notes due to the IRS payable by December 31,
        2008,
        resulting from the acquisition of M&EC in 2001 (see “Financing Activities in
        this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
        Opeations”). The remaining increase is due primarily to our insurance payable
        resulting from renewal of the Company’s general insurance policies.
      Disposal/transportation
        accrual as of December 31, 2007, totaled $6,677,000, an increase of $3,309,000
        over the December 31, 2006 balance of $3,368,000. Perma-Fix Northwest Richland,
        Inc. accounted for $4,118,000 of the accrual. Excluding the accrual of Perma-Fix
        Northwest Richland, Inc., the decrease of $809,000 was attributable to the
        Company’s continued efforts to dispose of waste at the lowest possible cost.
        Disposal accrual can vary based on revenue mix as government waste generally
        is
        disposed of by the generator and is not an expense to us. In 2007, we
        established a new disposal outlet at the Nevada Test Site which eliminated
        our
        disposal expense for certain waste streams.
      Our
        working capital position at December 31, 2007 was a negative $17,154,000,
        which
        includes the working capital of our discontinued operations, as compared
        to our
        positive working capital position of $12,810,000 at December 31, 2006. Our
        working capital in 2007 was negatively impacted by the reclassification of
        approximately $11,403,000 of debt owed to certain of our lenders from long
        term
        to current. As of December 31, 2007, the fixed charge coverage ratio contained
        in our PNC loan agreement fell below the minimum requirement. We obtained
        a
        waiver from our lender for this non-compliance as of December 31, 2007. At
        this
        time however, we do not expect to be in compliance with the fixed charge
        coverage ratio as of the end of the first and second quarters of 2008 and,
        as a
        result, we were required under generally accepted accounting principles to
        reclassify the long term portion of this debt to current due to the likelihood
        of future default. Furthermore, we have a cross default provision on our
        8.625%
        promissory note with a separate bank and have reclassified the long term
        portion
        of that debt to current as well. If we are unable to meet the fixed charge
        coverage ratio in the future, we believe that our lender will waive this
        non-compliance or will revise this covenant so that we are in compliance;
        however, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure a waiver or
        revision from our lender. If we fail to meet our fixed charge coverage ratio
        in
        the future and our lender does not waive the non-compliance or revise our
        covenant so that we are in compliance, our lender could accelerate the repayment
        of borrowings under our credit facility. In the event that our lender
        accelerates the payment of our borrowings, we may not have sufficient liquidity
        to repay our debt under our credit facilities and other indebtedness. In
        addition to the waiver that we have obtained from our lender for the
        non-compliance of our fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 31, 2007,
        our
        lender has amended our present covenant to exclude certain allowable charges
        in
        determining our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. This amendment may improve
        our ability to maintain compliance of the fixed charge coverage ratio in
        the
        future. Our working capital for the year was also impacted by approximately
        $8,600,000 expended to acquire PFNWR. The working capital of PFNWR was also
        impacted by the current portion of a short term loan of $2,000,000 which
        was set
        up for the acquisition as a “bridge” until we restructure our credit facility.
        In addition, a large disposal accrual related to the legacy waste acquired
        increased our current liabilities by approximately $3,300,000. We are required
        to dispose of this legacy waste on or before August 31, 2008. Other reductions
        to our current assets or increases to our current liabilities which impacted
        our
        working
      41
          capital
        was the annual cash payment to the finite risk sinking fund of $1,000,000,
        our
        semi-annual payment to the IRS related to our two notes at our M&EC facility
        of approximately $1,000,000 and the reclass of interests on the two notes
        from
        long term to current of approximately $2,568,000. Our working capital position
        continues to experience the negative impact of certain liabilities associated
        with discontinued operations.
      Investing
        Activities
      Our
        purchases of capital equipment for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled
        approximately $3,988,000 of which $2,982,000 and $1,006,000 was for our
        continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. Of the total capital
        spending, $258,000 and $356,000 was financed for our continuing and discontinued
        operations, respectively, resulting in total net purchases of $3,374,000
        funded
        out of cash flow. These expenditures were for expansion and improvements
        to the
        operations principally within the Nuclear and Industrial Segments. These
        capital
        expenditures were funded by the cash provided by operations. We have budgeted
        capital expenditures of approximately $3,100,000 for fiscal year 2008 for
        our
        operating segments to expand our operations into new markets, reduce the
        cost of
        waste processing and handling, expand the range of wastes that can be accepted
        for treatment and processing, and to maintain permit compliance requirements.
        We
        expect to fund these capital expenditures through our operations. Certain
        of
        these budgeted projects are discretionary and may either be delayed until
        later
        in the year or deferred altogether. We have traditionally incurred actual
        capital spending totals for a given year less than the initial budget amount.
        The initiation and timing of projects are also determined by financing
        alternatives or funds available for such capital projects. We anticipate
        funding
        these capital expenditures by a combination of lease financing and internally
        generated funds.
      In
        June
        2003, we entered into a 25-year finite risk insurance policy, which provides
        financial assurance to the applicable states for our permitted facilities
        in the
        event of unforeseen closure. Prior to obtaining or renewing operating permits
        we
        are required to provide financial assurance that guarantees to the states
        that
        in the event of closure our permitted facilities will be closed in accordance
        with the regulations. The policy provides a maximum $35 million of financial
        assurance coverage of which the coverage amount totals $30,096,000 at December
        31, 2007, and has available capacity to allow for annual inflation and other
        performance and surety bond requirements. This finite risk insurance policy
        required an upfront payment of $4.0 million, of which $2,766,000 represented
        the
        full premium for the 25-year term of the policy, and the remaining $1,234,000,
        was deposited in a sinking fund account representing a restricted cash account.
        In February 2007, we paid our fourth of nine required annual installments
        of
        $1,004,000, of which $991,000 was deposited in the sinking fund account,
        the
        remaining $13,000 represents a terrorism premium. As of December 31, 2007,
        we
        have recorded $5,772,000 in our sinking fund on the balance sheet, which
        includes interest earned of $575,000 on the sinking fund as of December 31,
        2007. We recorded $264,000 of interest income during 2007 on the sinking
        fund
        for 2007. On the fourth and subsequent anniversaries of the contract inception,
        we may elect to terminate this contract. If we so elect, the Insurer will
        pay us
        an amount equal to 100% of the sinking fund account balance in return for
        complete releases of liability from both us and any applicable regulatory
        agency
        using this policy as an instrument to comply with financial assurance
        requirements.
      In
        August
        2007, we entered into a second finite risk insurance policy for our Perma-Fix
        Northwest Richland, Inc. facility, which was acquired on June 13, 2007. The
        policy provides an initial $7.8 million of financial assurance coverage with
        annual growth rate of 1.5%, which at the end of the four year term policy,
        will
        provide maximum coverage of $8.2 million. The policy will renew automatically
        on
        an annual basis at the end of the four year term and will not be subject
        to any
        renewal fees. The policy requires total payment of $4.4 million, consisting
        of
        an annual payment of $1.4 million, and two annual payments of $1.5 million,
        starting July 31, 2007. In July 2007, we paid the first of our three annual
        payments of $1.4 million, of which $1.1 million represented premium on the
        policy and the remaining $258,000 was deposited into a sinking fund account.
        Each of the two remaining $1.5 million payments will consist of $176,000
        in
        premium with the remaining $1.3 million to be deposited into a sinking fund.
        As
        of December 31, 2007, we
      42
          have
        recorded $262,000 in our sinking fund on the balance sheet, which includes
        interest earned of $4,000 on the sinking fund for the year ended December
        31,
        2007. 
      On
        June
        13, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Nuvotec and its wholly
        owned
        subsidiary, Pacific Ecosolutions, Inc (PEcoS), pursuant to the terms of the
        Merger Agreement, between Perma-Fix, Perma-Fix’s wholly owned subsidiary,
        Transitory, Nuvotec, and PEcoS, dated April 27, 2007, which was subsequently
        amended on June 13, 2007. The Company acquired 100% of the voting shares
        of
        Nuvotec. The acquisition was structured as a reverse subsidiary merger, with
        Transitory being merged into Nuvotec, and Nuvotec being the surviving
        corporation. As a result of the merger, Nuvotec became a wholly owned subsidiary
        of Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc. (PESI). Nuvotec’s name was changed to
        Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc. (“PFNW”). PEcoS, whose name was changed to Perma-Fix
        Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) on August 2, 2007, is a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of PFNW. PEcoS is a permitted hazardous, low level radioactive
        and
        mixed waste treatment, storage and disposal facility located in the Hanford
        U.S.
        Department of Energy site in the eastern part of the state of Washington.
        The
        strategic addition of Nuvotec and its wholly owned subsidiary, PEcoS provides
        the Company with immediate access to treat some of the most complex nuclear
        waste streams in the nation and should provide significant growth opportunity
        in
        the coming years. 
      Under
        the
        terms of the Merger Agreement, the purchase price paid by the Company in
        connection with the acquisition was $17.3 million, consisting of as follows:
        
      | (a) | $2.3
                  million in cash at closing of the merger, with $1.5 million payable
                  to
                  unaccredited shareholders and $0.8 million payable to shareholders
                  of
                  Nuvotec that qualified as accredited investors pursuant to Rule
                  501 of
                  Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
                  (the
                  “Act”). | 
| (b) | Also
                  payable only to the shareholders of Nuvotec that qualified as accredited
                  investors: |

                  million, payable over a four year period, unsecured and nonnegotiable
                  and
                  bearing an annual rate of interest of 8.25%, with (i) accrued interest
                  only payable on June 30, 2008, (ii) $833,333.33, plus accrued and
                  unpaid
                  interest, payable on June 30, 2009, (iii) $833,333.33, plus accrued
                  and
                  unpaid interest, payable on June 30, 2010, and (iv) the remaining
                  unpaid
                  principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, payable on
                  June 30,
                  2011 (collectively, the “Installment Payments”). The Installment Payments
                  may be prepaid at any time by Perma-Fix without penalty; and
                   | 
| · | 709,207
                  shares of Perma-Fix common stock, which were issued on July 23,
                  2007, with
                  such number of shares determined by dividing $2.0 million by 95%
                  of
                  average of the closing price of the common stock as quoted on the
                  NASDAQ
                  during the 20 trading days period ending five business days prior
                  to the
                  closing of the merger. The value of these shares on June 13, 2007
                  was $2.2
                  million, which was determined by the average closing price of the
                  common
                  stock as quoted on the NASDAQ four days prior to and following
                  the
                  completion date of the acquisition, which was June 13, 2007.
                   | 
| (c) | The
                  assumption of $9.4 million of debt, $8.9 million of which was payable
                  to
                  KeyBank National Association which represents debt owed by PFNW
                  under a
                  credit facility. As part of the closing, the Company paid down
                  $5.4
                  million of this debt resulting in debt remaining of $4.0 million.

        to exceed $4.4 million over a four year period (“Earn-Out Amount”). The earn-out
        amounts will be earned if certain annual revenue targets are met by the
        Company’s Nuclear Segment. The first $1.0 million of the earn-out amount, when
        earned, will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy certain indemnification
        obligations under the
      43
          Merger
        Agreement of Nuvotec, PEcoS, and the shareholders of Nuvotec to Perma-Fix
        that
        are identified by Perma-Fix within the escrow period as provided in the Merger
        Agreement. The earn-out amount, if and when paid, will increase goodwill.
        As of
        December 31, 2007 the Company has not made or accrued any earn-out payments
        to
        Nuvotec shareholders because such revenue targets have not been met.
      On
        July
        28, 2006, our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase
        program to purchase up to $2,000,000 of our Common Stock, through open market
        and privately negotiated transactions, with the timing, the amount of repurchase
        transactions and the prices paid under the program as deemed appropriate
        by
        management and dependent on market conditions and corporate and regulatory
        considerations. We plan to fund any repurchases under this program through
        our
        internal cash flow and/or borrowing under our line of credit. As of the date
        of
        this report, we have not repurchased any of our Common Stock under the program
        as we continue to evaluate this repurchase program within our internal cash
        flow
        and/or borrowings under our line of credit.
      Financing
        Activities
      We
        entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”)
        with PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“PNC”)
        acting as agent (“Agent”) for lenders, and as issuing bank. The Agreement
        provided for a term loan (“Term Loan”) in the amount of $7,000,000, which
        requires principal repayments based upon a seven-year amortization, payable
        over
        five years, with monthly installments of $83,000 and the remaining unpaid
        principal balance due on November 27, 2008. The Agreement also provided for
        a
        revolving line of credit (“Revolving Credit”) with a maximum principal amount
        outstanding at any one time of $18,000,000. The Revolving Credit advances
        are
        subject to limitations of an amount up to the sum of (a) up to 85% of Commercial
        Receivables aged 90 days or less from invoice date, (b) up to 85% of Commercial
        Broker Receivables aged up to 120 days from invoice date, (c) up to 85% of
        acceptable Government Agency Receivables aged up to 150 days from invoice
        date,
        and (d) up to 50% of acceptable unbilled amounts aged up to 60 days, less
        (e)
        reserves the Agent reasonably deems proper and necessary. As of December
        31,
        2007, the excess availability under our revolving credit was $5,700,000 based
        on
        our eligible receivables. 
      On
        March
        26, 2008, we entered into an amendment with PNC, which extended the due date
        of
        the $25 million credit facility from November 27, 2008 to September 30, 2009.
        Pursuant to the amendment, we may terminate the agreement upon 60 days’ prior
        written notice upon payment in full of the obligation. The amendment also
        waived
        the Company’s violation of the fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 31,
        2007, as discussed below. In addition, the amendment changed our present
        covenant to exclude certain allowable charges in determining our minimum
        fixed
        charge coverage ratio. As a condition to this amendment, we have agreed to
        pay
        PNC a fee of $25,000.
      Our
        credit facility with PNC contains financial covenants. A breach of any of
        these
        covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our credit
        facility triggering our lender to immediately require the repayment of all
        outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments
        to
        extend further credit. In the past, none of our covenants have been restrictive
        to our operations; however, in 2007, our fixed charge coverage ratio fell
        below
        the minimum requirement pursuant to the covenant. We have obtained a waiver
        from
        our lender for this non-compliance as of December 31, 2007. At this time
        however, we do not expect to be in compliance with the fixed charge coverage
        ratio as of the end of the first and second quarters of 2008 and as a result,
        we
        were required under generally accepted accounting principles to reclassify
        the long term portion of debt to current. Furthermore, we have a cross default
        provision on our 8.625% KeyBank National Association promissory note and
        have
        reclassified the long term portion of that debt to current as well. If we
        are
        unable to meet the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future, we believe
        that
        our lender will waive this non-compliance or will revise this covenant so
        that
        we are in compliance; however, there is no assurance that we will be able
        to
        secure a waiver or revision from our lender. If we fail to meet our fixed
        charge
        coverage ratio in the future and our lender does not waive the non-compliance
        or
        revise this covenant so that we are in compliance, our lender could accelerate
        the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. In the event that
        our
        lender accelerates the payment of
      44
          our
        borrowing, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our
        credit facility and other indebtedness. In addition to the waiver that we
        have
        obtained from our lender for our non-compliance of our fixed charge coverage
        ratio as of December 31, 2007, our lender has amended our present covenant
        to
        exclude certain allowable charges in determining our minimum fixed charge
        coverage ratio. This amendment may improve our ability to maintain compliance
        of
        the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future. 
      In
        conjunction with our acquisition of M&EC, M&EC issued a promissory note
        for a principal amount of $3.7 million to Performance Development Corporation
        (“PDC”), dated June 25, 2001, for monies advanced to M&EC for certain
        services performed by PDC. The promissory note is payable over eight years
        on a
        semiannual basis on June 30 and December 31. The note is due on December
        31,
        2008, with principal repayment of $400,000 to be made in June 2008 and the
        remaining $235,000 to be made by December 31, 2008. Interest is accrued at
        the
        applicable law rate (“Applicable Rate”) pursuant to the provisions of section
        6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (10% on December 31,
        2007)
        and payable in one lump sum at the end of the loan period. On December 31,
        2007,
        the outstanding balance was $2,704,000 including accrued interest of
        approximately $2,069,000. PDC has directed M&EC to make all payments under
        the promissory note directly to the IRS to be applied to PDC's obligations
        under
        its installment agreement with the IRS.
      Additionally,
        M&EC entered into an installment agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
        (“IRS”) for a principal amount of $923,000 effective June 25, 2001, for certain
        withholding taxes owed by M&EC. The installment agreement is payable over
        eight years on a semiannual basis on June 30 and December 31. The agreement
        is
        due on December 31, 2008, with principal repayments of approximately $100,000
        to
        be made in June 2008 and the remaining $53,000 to be made by December 31,
        2008.
        Interest is accrued at the Applicable Rate, and is adjusted on a quarterly
        basis
        and payable in lump sum at the end of the installment period. On December
        31,
        2007, the rate was 10%. On December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance was
        $652,000 including accrued interest of approximately $499,000.
      In
        conjunction with our acquisition of Nuvotec (n/k/a Perma-Fix of Northwest,
        Inc.)
        and PEcoS (n/k/a Perma-Fix of Northwest Richland, Inc.), (collectively called
        “PFNWR”) which was completed on June 13, 2007, we entered into a promissory note
        for a principal amount of $4.0 million to KeyBank National Association, dated
        June 13, 2007, which represents debt assumed by us as result of the acquisition.
        The promissory note is payable over a two years period with monthly principal
        repayment of $160,000 starting July 2007 and $173,000 starting July 2008,
        along
        with accrued interest. Interest is accrued at prime rate plus 1.125%. On
        December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance was $3,039,000 and has
        been
        classified as current due to this note’s cross default provisions addressed
        above.
      Additionally,
        in conjunction with our acquisition of PFNWR, we agreed to pay shareholders
        of
        Nuvotec that qualified as accredited investors pursuant to Rule 501 of
        Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, $2.5 million,
        with
        principal payable in equal installment of $833,333 on June 30, 2009, June
        30,
        2010, and June 30, 2011. Interest is accrued on outstanding principal balance
        at
        8.25% starting in June 2007 and is payable on June 30, 2008, June 30, 2009,
        June
        30, 2010, and June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2007, we had accrued interest
        of
        approximately $110,000.
      45
          During
        2007, we issued 234,927 shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of 237,225
        employee stock options, at exercise prices from $1.25 to $2.19 per share.
        An
        optionee surrendered 2,298 shares of personally held Common Stock of the
        Company
        as payment for the exercise of the 4,000 options. We also issued 563,633
        shares
        of our Common Stock upon exercise of 1,281,731 Warrants on a cashless basis
        by
        two investors, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements issued
        by
        the Company on July 31, 2001, resulting in surrender of the remaining 718,098
        Warrants. Total proceeds received during 2007 related to warrant and option
        exercises totaled approximately $472,000, which includes $418,000 from employee
        stock option exercises and $54,000 from repayment of stock subscription
        resulting from exercise of warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of our Common
        Stock on a loan by the Company at an arms length basis in 2006. 
      In
        summary, the acquisition of PFNWR and the reclassification of debts due to
        certain of our lenders resulting from the non-compliance of our fixed charge
        coverage ratio, pursuant to`our loan agreement with PNC have heavily impacted
        our liquidity. We continue to draw funds from our revolver to make the payments
        on debt that we assumed as result of the acquisition. Cash (net of
        collateralized portion held by our credit facility) received from the sale
        of
        PFMD and PFD in the first quarter of 2008 was used to reduce our term note,
        with
        the remaining cash used to reduce our revolver. Cash to be received subject
        from
        the sale of any remaining facilities/operations within our Industrial Segment
        (net of the collateralized portion held by our credit facility) will be used
        to
        reduce our term note, with any remaining cash used to reduce our revolver.
        We
        continue to take steps to improve our operations and liquidity and to invest
        working capital into our facilities to fund capital additions in the Nuclear
        Segment. As a result of the Company’s uncertainty in its ability to comply with
        its fixed charge coverage ratio in the first and second quarters of 2008
        under
        our loan agreement, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to
        continue as a going concern. Though there can be no assurances, we anticipate
        that we will be able to address these doubts by revising the covenant thresholds
        with our lender to ensure that we will stay compliant with our covenants
        in the
        future.

                        paid at the end
                        of the term, December 2008. In conjunction with our acquisition
                        of PFNWR,
                        which was completed on June 13, 2007, we agreed to pay shareholders
                        of
                        Nuvotec that qualified as accredited investors pursuant to

                        $2.5 million,

                        June 30, 2009,
                        June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011. Interest is accrued

          on
        outstanding principal balance at 8.25% starting in June 2007 and is payable

      | (2) | We
                  have variable interest rates on our Term Loan and Revolving Credit
                  of 1%
                  and 1/2% over the prime rate of interest, respectively, and as
                  such we
                  have made certain assumptions in estimating future interest payments
                  on
                  this variable interest rate debt. We assume an increase in prime
                  rate of
                  0.25% in each of the years 2008 through 2009. Pursuant to the terms
                  of our
                  credit facility, proceeds from the sale of our Industrial Segment
                  facilities must be used to pay down our term note first, with the
                  remaining to pay down our revolver. As such, we anticipate a full
                  repayment of our Term Loan by June 2008. In addition, we anticipate
                  a full
                  repayment of our Revolver by September 30, 2009. As result of the
                  acquisition of our new Perma-Fix Northwest facility on June 13,
                  2007, we
                  have entered into a promissory note for a principal amount $4.0
                  million to
                  KeyBank National Association which has variable interest rate of
                  1.125%
                  over the prime rate, and as such, we also have assumed an increase
                  in
                  prime rate of 0.25% through July 2009, when the note is
                  due. |

                  liabilities. The environmental contingencies noted are for Perma-Fix
                  of
                  Michigan, Inc., Perma-Fix of Memphis, Inc., and Perma-Fix of Dayton,
                  Inc.,
                  which are the financial obligations of the Company. The environmental
                  liability of PFD was retained by the Company upon the sale of PFD
                  in March
                  2008.  |

Critical
        Accounting Estimates
      In
        preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, management
        makes
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
        of
        the financial statements, as well as, the reported amounts of revenues and
        expenses during the reporting period. We believe the following critical
        accounting policies affect the more significant estimates used in preparation
        of
        the consolidated financial statements:
      Revenue
        Recognition Estimates. We
        utilize a percentage of completion methodology for purposes of revenue
        recognition in our Nuclear Segment. As we accept more complex waste streams
        in
        this segment, the treatment of those waste streams becomes more complicated
        and
        time consuming. We have continued to enhance our waste tracking capabilities
        and
        systems, which has enabled us to better match the revenue earned to the
        processing phases achieved. The major processing phases are receipt,
        treatment/processing and shipment/final disposition. Upon receiving mixed
        waste
        we recognize a certain percentage (generally 33%) of revenue as we incur
        costs
        for transportation, analytical and labor associated with the receipt of mixed
        wastes. As the waste is processed, shipped and disposed of we recognize the
        remaining 67% revenue and the associated costs of transportation and burial.
        The
        waste streams in our Industrial Segment are much less complicated, and services
        are rendered shortly after receipt, as such we do not use percentage
        of
      47
          completion
        estimates in our Industrial segment. We review and evaluate our revenue
        recognition estimates and policies on a quarterly basis. 
      Allowance
      for Doubtful Accounts.
      The
      carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for doubtful
      accounts, which is a valuation allowance that reflects management's best
      estimate of the amounts that are uncollectible. We regularly review all accounts
      receivable balances that exceed 60 days from the invoice date and based on
      an
      assessment of current credit worthiness, estimate the portion, if any, of the
      balances that are uncollectible. Specific accounts that are deemed to be
      uncollectible are reserved at 100% of their outstanding balance. The remaining
      balances aged over 60 days have a percentage applied by aging category (5%
      for
      balances 61-90 days, 20% for balances 91-120 days and 40% for balances over
      120
      days aged), based on a historical valuation, that allows us to calculate the
      total reserve required. This allowance was approximately 0.3% of revenue for
      2007 and 1.0%, of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2007. Additionally,
      this allowance was approximately 0.3% of revenue for 2006 and 1.7% of accounts
      receivable as of December 31, 2006. 
    Intangible
      Assets.
      Intangible assets relating to acquired businesses consist primarily of the
      cost
      of purchased businesses in excess of the estimated fair value of net
      identifiable assets acquired (“goodwill”) and the recognized permit value of the
      business. We continually reevaluate the propriety of the carrying amount of
      permits and goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances
      warrant adjustments to the carrying value. We test goodwill and permits,
      separately, for impairment, annually as of October 1. Our annual impairment
      test
      as of October 1, 2007 and 2006 resulted in no impairment of goodwill and
      permits. The methodology utilized in performing this test estimates the fair
      value of our operating segments using a discounted cash flow valuation approach.
      This approach is dependent on estimates for future sales, operating income,
      working capital changes, and capital expenditures, as well as, expected growth
      rates for cash flows and long-term interest rates, all of which are impacted
      by
      economic conditions related to our industry as well as conditions in the U.S.
      capital markets.
    As
      result
      of classifying our Industrial Segment as discontinued operations in 2007, we
      performed internal financial valuations on the intangible assets of the
      Industrial Segment as a whole based on the LOIs and offers received to test
      for
      impairment as required by SFAS 142. We concluded that no intangible impairments
      existed as of December 31, 2007. 
    Property
      and Equipment
    Property
      and equipment expenditures are capitalized and depreciated using the
      straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial
      statement purposes, while accelerated depreciation methods are principally
      used
      for income tax purposes. Generally, annual depreciation rates range from ten
      to
      forty years for buildings (including improvements and asset retirement costs)
      and three to seven years for office furniture and equipment, vehicles, and
      decontamination and processing equipment. Leasehold improvements are capitalized
      and amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the life of the asset.
      Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred. The cost
      and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the
      respective accounts, and any gain or loss from sale or retirement is recognized
      in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 
    In
      accordance with Statement 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
      Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment,
      and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for
      impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
      carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
      to
      be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
      to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
      asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
      flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
      amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
      of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower
      of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer
      depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held
      for sale would be presented separately in the
    48
        appropriate
      asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. As result of the approved
      divestiture of our Industrial Segment by our Board of Directors and the
      subsequent letters of intent entered and prospective interests received, we
      performed updated financial valuations on the tangibles on the Industrial
      Segment to test for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
      Our analysis included the comparison of the offered sale price less cost to
      sell
      to the carrying value of the investment under each LOI separately in the
      Industrial Segment. Based on our analysis, we concluded that the carrying value
      of the tangible assets for Perma-Fix Dayton, Inc., Perma-Fix of Treatment
      Services, Inc., Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc., and Perma-Fix of South Georgia,
      Inc.
      facilities exceeded its fair value, less cost to sell. Consequently, we recorded
      $2,727,000, $1,804,000, $507,000 and $1,329,000, respectively, in tangible
      asset
      impairment loss for each of the facilities, which are included in “loss from
      discontinued operations, net of taxes” on our Consolidated Statements of
      Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. 
    Accrued
      Closure Costs.
      Accrued
      closure costs represent a contingent environmental liability to clean up a
      facility in the event we cease operations in an existing facility. The accrued
      closure costs are estimates based on guidelines developed by federal and/or
      state regulatory authorities under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
      (“RCRA”). Such costs are evaluated annually and adjusted for inflationary
      factors and for approved changes or expansions to the facilities. Increases
      due
      to inflationary factors for 2007 and 2006, have been approximately 2.9%, and
      2.77%, respectively, and based on the historical information, we do not expect
      future inflationary changes to differ materially from the last three years.
      Increases or decreases in accrued closure costs resulting from changes or
      expansions at the facilities are determined based on specific RCRA guidelines
      applied to the requested change. This calculation includes certain estimates,
      such as disposal pricing, external labor, analytical costs and processing costs,
      which are based on current market conditions. However, except for the Michigan
      and Pittsburgh facilities, we have no current intention to close any of our
      facilities.
    Accrued
      Environmental Liabilities.
      We have
      five remediation projects currently in progress within our discontinued
      operations. The current and long-term accrual amounts for the projects are
      our
      best estimates based on proposed or approved processes for clean-up. It is
      contemplated that the remediation project at PFSG will be assumed by the buyer
      of the facility if the proposed sale of the facility is completed. The
      circumstances that could affect the outcome range from new technologies that
      are
      being developed every day to reduce our overall costs, to increased
      contamination levels that could arise as we complete remediation which could
      increase our costs, neither of which we anticipate at this time. In addition,
      significant changes in regulations could adversely or favorably affect our
      costs
      to remediate existing sites or potential future sites, which cannot be
      reasonably quantified. Our environmental liabilities also include $391,000
      in
      accrued long-term environmental liability for our Maryland facility acquired
      in
      March 2004. As previously discussed, we sold substantially all of the assets
      of
      the Maryland facility during the first part of 2008. In connection with this
      sale, the buyer agreed to assume all obligations and liabilities for
      environmental conditions at the Maryland facility except for fines, assessments,
      or judgments to governmental authorities prior to the closing of the transaction
      or third party tort claims existing prior to the closing of the sale.
    Disposal/Transportation
      Costs.
      We
      accrue for waste disposal based upon a physical count of the total waste at
      each
      facility at the end of each accounting period. Current market prices for
      transportation and disposal costs are applied to the end of period waste
      inventories to calculate the disposal accrual. Costs are calculated using
      current costs for disposal, but economic trends could materially affect our
      actual costs for disposal. As there are limited disposal sites available to
      us,
      a change in the number of available sites or an increase or decrease in demand
      for the existing disposal areas could significantly affect the actual disposal
      costs either positively or negatively. 
    Share-Based
      Compensation. On
      January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
      Statement No. 123 (revised) (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based
      Payment,
      a
      revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation,
      superseding APB Opinion No. 25,
    49
        Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees, and
      its
      related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes
      accounting standards for entity exchanges of equity instruments for goods or
      services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
      in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the
      entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those
      equity instruments. SFAS 123R
      requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
      stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
      values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative upon adopting SFAS
      123R. We adopted SFAS 123R utilizing the modified prospective method in
      which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based
      on
      SFAS 123R requirements for all (a) share-based payments granted after the
      effective date and (b) awards granted to employees prior to the effective
      date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. In accordance
      with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements
      for
      prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact
      of SFAS 123R.
    Prior
      to
      our adoption of SFAS 123R, on
      July 28, 2005, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
      Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all the outstanding and
      unvested options to purchase Common Stock awarded to employees as of the
      approval date. The Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of these
      options based on the belief that it was in the best interest of our stockholders
      to reduce future compensation expense that would otherwise be required in the
      statement of operations upon adoption of SFAS 123R, effective beginning January
      1, 2006. The accelerated vesting triggered the re-measurement of compensation
      cost under current accounting standards.  
    Pursuant
      to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recorded stock-based compensation expense
      for
      the director stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of
      January 1, 2006, using the fair value method required under SFAS 123R.
      For the employee stock option grants on March 2, 2006 and May 15, 2006, and
      the
      director stock option grant on July 27, 2006 and August 2, 2007, we have
      estimated compensation expense based on the fair value at grant date using
      the
      Black-Scholes valuation model and have recognized compensation expense using
      a
      straight-line amortization method over the vesting period. As SFAS 123R
      requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on options that are
      ultimately expected to vest, stock-based compensation for the March 2, 2006
      grant has been reduced for estimated forfeitures at a rate of 8.5% for the
      second year of vesting. We estimated forfeiture rate of 5.7% for the first
      year
      of vesting on the March 2, 2006 grant, however, our actual rate of forfeiture
      was approximately 1.7%, resulting in employee option expense of approximately
      $30,000. We estimated 0% forfeiture rate for our March 15, 2006 employee option
      grant and director
      stock option grants of July 27, 2006 and August 2, 2007.
      When
      estimating forfeitures, we considered trends of actual option
      forfeitures.
    We
      calculated a fair value of $0.868 for each March 2, 2006 option grant on the
      date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
      assumptions:
      no
      dividend yield; an expected life of four years; expected volatility of 54.0%;
      and a risk free interest rate of 4.70%. We calculated a fair value of $0.877
      for
      the May 15, 2006 option grant on the date of grant with the following
      assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected life of four years; an expected
      volatility of 54.6%; and a risk-free interest rate of 5.03%. No employee options
      were granted 2005. We calculated a fair value of $1.742 for each July 27, 2006
      director option grant on the date of the grant with the following assumptions:
      no dividend yield; an expected life of ten years; an expected volatility of
      73.31%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.98%. For
      the
      director option grant of August 2, 2007, we calculated a fair value of $2.30
      for
      each option grant with the following assumptions using the Black-Scholes option
      pricing model: no dividend yield; an expected life of ten years; an expected
      volatility of 67.60%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.77%.
    Our
      computation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility from our
      traded common stock. Due to our change in the contractual term and vesting
      period, we utilized the
      simplified method, defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
      Accounting Bulletin No. 107, to calculate the expected term for our 2006 grants.
      The
      interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based
      on
      the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. 
    50
        FIN
      48
    In
      July
      2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting
      for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
      which
      attempts to set out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine
      the
      appropriate level of tax reserve to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This
      interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a
      tax
      benefit is recognized if a position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained.
      The
      amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit which
      is
      greater than 50% likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure
      requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. The Company
      adopted this Interpretation as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did
      not have a material impact on our financial statements.
    Known
      Trends and Uncertainties
    Seasonality.
      Historically, we have experienced reduced activities and related billable hours
      throughout the November and December holiday periods within our Engineering
      Segment. The DOE and DOD represent major customers for the Nuclear Segment.
      In
      conjunction with the federal government’s September 30 fiscal year-end, the
      Nuclear Segment historically experienced seasonably large shipments during
      the
      third quarter, leading up to this government fiscal year-end, as a result of
      incentives and other quota requirements. Correspondingly for a period of
      approximately three months following September 30, the Nuclear Segment is
      generally seasonably slow, as the government budgets are still being finalized,
      planning for the new year is occurring and we enter the holiday season. Since
      2005, due to our efforts to work with the various government customers to smooth
      these shipments more evenly throughout the year, we have seen smaller
      fluctuation in the quarters. In 2007, the US Congress did not pass the fiscal
      year 2007 budget which resulted in no increase of funding to DOE from the
      previous years 2006 budget allocation. This resulted in a decrease of the start
      up of new projects; however, we continued to see shipments at expected levels
      as
      compared to 2006. The 2008 budget was signed by the President in December 2007
      which provides funding for the start of new projects in 2008. We do not
      anticipate big fluctuations within 2008 even with the passing of the 2008
      budget; however, we cannot provide assurance this will be the case. In addition,
      our revenue recognition policy further reduces this impact on our revenue.
      See
“Revenue Recognition Estimates” in this “Management Discussion and Analysis of
      Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. 
    Economic
      Conditions. With
      much
      of our Nuclear Segment customer base being government or prime contractors
      treating government waste, economic upturns or downturns do not usually have
      a
      significant impact on the demand for our services. Our Engineering Segment
      relies more on commercial customers though this segment makes up a very small
      percentage of our revenue. 
    Significant
      Customers.
      Our
      revenues are principally derived from numerous and varied customers. However,
      we
      have a significant relationship with the federal government, and have continued
      to enter into contracts with (directly or indirectly as a subcontractor) the
      federal government. The contracts that we are a party to with the federal
      government or with others as a subcontractor to the federal government generally
      provide that the government may terminate on 30 days notice or renegotiate
      the
      contracts, at the government's election. Our inability to continue under
      existing contracts that we have with the federal government (directly or
      indirectly as a subcontractor) could have a material adverse effect on our
      operations and financial condition. 
    We
      performed services relating to waste generated by the federal government, either
      directly or indirectly as a subcontractor (including LATA/Parallax, Bechtel
      Jacobs, and Fluor Hanford as discussed below) to the federal government,
      representing approximately $30,000,000 (includes approximately $5,568,000 from
      PFNWR facility) or 55.5% of our total revenue from continuing operations during
      2007, as compared to $33,226,000 or 63.0% of our total revenue from continuing
      operations during 2006, and $29,555,000 or 59.0% of our total revenue from
      continuing operations during 2005. 
    Included
      in the amounts discussed above, are revenues from LATA/Parallax Portsmouth
      LLC
      (“LATA/Parallax”). LATA/Parallax is a manager for environmental programs for
      various agencies of the
    51
        federal
      government. Our revenues from LATA/Parallax, as a subcontractor to perform
      remediation services at certain federal sites, contributed $8,784,000 or 16.2%
      and $10,341,000 or 19.6% of our revenues from continuing operations for 2007
      and
      2006, respectively. Our contract with LATA/Parallax is expected to be completed
      in September 2008. As with most contracts relating to the federal government,
      LATA/Parallax can terminate the contract with us at any time for convenience,
      which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. 
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has had a significant relationship with Bechtel Jacobs Company,
      LLC. (“Bechtel Jacobs”). Bechtel Jacobs is the government-appointed manager of
      the environmental program for Oak Ridge, Tennessee to perform certain treatment
      and disposal services relating to Oak Ridge, and our Nuclear Segment has been
      awarded three subcontracts by Bechtel Jacobs to perform certain environmental
      services at DOE’s Oak Ridge, Tennessee sites. Two of our Oak Ridge contracts
      have been amended for pricing modifications in 2007 and have been extended
      through September 2009. Our revenues from Bechtel Jacobs have continued to
      decrease as the DOE site in Oak Ridge continues to complete certain of its
      clean-up milestones and moves toward completing its closure efforts. As with
      most such blanket processing agreements, the Oak Ridge contracts contain no
      minimum or maximum processing guarantees, and may be terminated at any time
      pursuant to federal contracting terms and conditions. The Nuclear Segment
      continues to pursue other similar or related services for environmental programs
      at other DOE and government sites. Consolidated revenues from Bechtel Jacobs
      for
      2007 total $1,812,000 or 3.3% of total revenues from continuing operations,
      as
      compared to $6,705,000 or 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and
      $14,940,000 or 29.8% for the year ended December 31, 2005. 
    Our
      Nuclear Segment has provided treatment of mixed low-level waste, as a
      subcontractor, for Fluor Hanford since 2004. However, with the acquisition
      of
      our PFNWR facility, we now have a significant relationship with Fluor Hanford,
      a
      prime contractor to the DOE since 1996. Fluor Hanford manages several major
      activities at the DOE’s Hanford Site, including dismantling former nuclear
      processing facilities, monitoring and cleaning up the site’s contaminated
      groundwater, and retrieving and processing transuranic waste for off-site
      shipment. The Hanford site is one of DOE’s largest nuclear weapon environmental
      remediation projects. Our PFNWR facility is located adjacent to the Hanford
      site
      and provides treatment of low level radioactive and mixed wastes. We currently
      have three contracts with Fluor Hanford at our PFNWR facility, with the initial
      contract dating back to 2003. These three contracts have since been extended
      to
      September 2008. As the DOE is currently in the process of re-bidding its
      contracts with current prime contractors, our future revenue beyond September
      2008 from Fluor Hanford is uncertain at this time. Revenues from Fluor Hanford
      totaled $6,985,000 (approximately $3,100,000 from PFNWR) or 12.9%, $1,229,000
      or
      2.3%, and $1,732,000 or 3.5% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December
      31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. As with most contracts relating to
      the
      federal government, Fluor Hanford can terminate the contracts with us at any
      time for convenience, which could have a material adverse effect on our
      operations. 
    Insurance.
      We
      maintain insurance coverage similar to, or greater than, the coverage maintained
      by other companies of the same size and industry, which complies with the
      requirements under applicable environmental laws. We evaluate our insurance
      policies annually to determine adequacy, cost effectiveness and desired
      deductible levels. Due to the downturn in the economy and changes within the
      environmental insurance market, we have no guarantee that we will be able to
      obtain similar insurance in future years, or that the cost of such insurance
      will not increase materially. 
    Environmental
      Contingencies
    We
      are
      engaged in the waste management services segment of the pollution control
      industry. As a participant in the on-site treatment, storage and disposal market
      and the off-site treatment and services market, we are subject to rigorous
      federal, state and local regulations. These regulations mandate strict
      compliance and therefore are a cost and concern to us. Because of their integral
      role in providing quality environmental services, we make every reasonable
      attempt to maintain complete compliance with these
    52
        regulations;
      however, even with a diligent commitment, we, along with many of our
      competitors, may be required to pay fines for violations or investigate and
      potentially remediate our waste management facilities.
    We
      routinely use third party disposal companies, who ultimately destroy or secure
      landfill residual materials generated at our facilities or at a client's site.
      We, compared to certain of our competitors, dispose of significantly less
      hazardous or industrial by-products from our operations due to rendering
      material non-hazardous, discharging treated wastewaters to publicly-owned
      treatment works and/or processing wastes into saleable products. In the past,
      numerous third party disposal sites have improperly managed wastes and
      consequently require remedial action; consequently, any party utilizing these
      sites may be liable for some or all of the remedial costs. Despite our
      aggressive compliance and auditing procedures for disposal of wastes, we could
      further be notified, in the future, that we are a PRP at a remedial action
      site,
      which could have a material adverse effect.
    We
      have
      budgeted for 2008, $1,168,000 in environmental remediation expenditures to
      comply with federal, state and local regulations in connection with remediation
      of certain contaminates at our facilities. As previously discussed under
“Business — Capital Spending, Certain Environmental Expenditures and Potential
      Environmental Liabilities,” our facilities where the remediation expenditures
      will be made are the Leased Property in Dayton, Ohio (EPS), a former RCRA
      storage facility as operated by the former owners of PFD, PFM's facility in
      Memphis, Tennessee, PFSG's facility in Valdosta, Georgia, PFTS's facility in
      Tulsa, Oklahoma, PFMD’s facility in Baltimore, Maryland, and PFMI's facility in
      Detroit, Michigan. With the impending divestiture of our Industrial Segment,
      we
      anticipate the environmental liabilities for all the facilities noted above
      will
      be part of the divestiture with the exception of PFM, PFD, and PFMI, which
      will
      remain the financial obligations of the Company. While no assurances can be
      made
      that we will be able to do so, we expect to fund the expenses to remediate
      the
      three sites from funds generated internally. 
    At
      December 31, 2007, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities
      of
      $2,873,000 of which $1,168,000 is recorded as a current liability, which
      reflects a decrease of $405,000 from the December 31, 2006, balance of
      $3,278,000. The decrease represents payments on remediation projects, increase
      in our reserve in PFSG and decrease in our reserves at PFM and PFMI due to
      reevaluation of our remediation estimates. As previously discussed, we sold
      substantially all of the assets of the Maryland facility during the first part
      of 2008. In connection with this sale, the buyer agreed to assume all
      obligations and liabilities for environmental conditions at the Maryland
      facility except for fines, assessments, or judgments to governmental authorities
      prior to the closing of the transaction or third party tort claims existing
      prior to the closing of the sale. The December 31, 2007, current and long-term
      accrued environmental balance is recorded as follows:

Recent
      Accounting Pronouncements
    In
      September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157
      simplifies and codifies guidance on fair value measurements under generally
      accepted accounting principles. This standard defines fair value, establishes
      a
      framework for measuring fair value and prescribes expanded disclosures about
      fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
      issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
      periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption
    53
        permitted.
      We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will
      have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; however,
      we do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on
      our
      financial position or results of operations. 
    In
      February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
      Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
      measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
      objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
      opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
      related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
      hedge
      accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value
      measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement
      objectives for accounting financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of
      the
      beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November, 15, 2007.
      We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will
      have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow; however,
      we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our
      financial position or results of operations.
    In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business
      Combinations.
      SFAS
      No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a
      business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
      assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in
      the
      acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring
      the
      goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information
      to
      disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature
      and
      financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for
      financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
      Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded
      and disclosed following existing GAAP until December 31, 2008. The Company
      expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial
      statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects
      will depend upon the nature, terms and size of acquisitions it consummates
      after
      the effect date. The Company is still assessing the impact of this standard
      on
      its future consolidated financial statements.
    In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
      Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
      51.
      SFAS
      No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interest. Minority
      interest will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported
      as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or
      sales of equity interest that do not result in a change in control will be
      accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable
      to
      the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on
      the
      face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold,
      as
      well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain
      or
      loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements
      issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim period
      within those fiscal years, except for the presentation and disclosure
      requirements, which will apply retrospectively. This standard is not expected
      to
      have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial
      statements.
    | ITEM
                7A. | QUANTITATIVE
                AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
                 | 
In
      the
      year 2007, we were exposed to certain market risks arising from adverse changes
      in interest rates, primarily due to the potential effect of such changes on
      our
      variable rate loan arrangements with PNC and variable rate promissory note
      agreement with KeyBank National Association. The
      interest rates payable to PNC and KeyBank National Association are based on
      a
      spread over prime rate. If
      our
      floating rates of interest experienced an upward increase of 1%, our debt
      service would have increased by approximately
      $99,000
      for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, we had no
      interest swap agreements outstanding.

                the event that we are unable to meet our fixed charge coverage ration
                in
                the future and we are unable to obtain a waiver for this non-compliance,
                our lender could accelerate the repayment of borrowing under our
                credit
                facility; | 
| ·  | we
                may not have sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our credit

                are working toward permitting our DSSI facility for PCB destruction.
                The
                permit is expected by mid year 2008; | 
| ·  | we
                believe that there are no formidable barriers to entry into certain
                of the
                on-site treatment businesses, and certain of the non-hazardous waste
                operations, which do not require such permits; | 
| ·  | we
                believe that we are able to compete in the market based on our established
                reputation in these market areas and our expertise in several specific
                elements of environmental engineering and consulting such as environmental
                applications in the cement industry;  | 
| ·  | we
                believe we maintain insurance coverage adequate for our needs and
                similar

| ·  | under
                our insurance contracts, we usually accept self-insured retentions,
                which
                we believe is appropriate for our specific business
                risks; | 
| ·  | although
                we believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with applicable
                laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties or
                other
                liabilities or could be adversely affected by existing or subsequently
                enacted laws or regulations; | 
| ·  | due
                to the downturn in the economy and changes within the environmental
                insurance market, we have no guarantee that we will be able to obtain
                similar insurance in future years, or that the cost of such insurance
                will
                not increase materially; |

                with most contracts relating to the federal government, LATA/Parallax
                and/or Fluor Hanford can terminate the contract with us at any time
                for
                convenience, which could have a material adverse effect on our
                operations; |

                contract with LATA/Parallax is expected to be completed in September
                2008; |

                competitive advantage with respect to certain of our more specialized
                competitors; |

                believe that the treatment processes we utilize offer a cost saving
                alternative to more traditional remediation and disposal methods
                offered
                by certain of our competitors; |

                effect; |

                the

                be made
                that we will be able to do so, we expect to fund the expenses to

                future; |

        Report
      of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
    Board
      of
      Directors and Stockholders
    Perma-Fix
      Environmental Services, Inc.
    Atlanta,
      Georgia
    We
      have
      audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perma-Fix Environmental
      Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the
      related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
      flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. In
      connection with the audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have
      also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index.
      These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
      of
      the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
      consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
    We
      conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
      plan
      and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
      statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
      examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
      in
      the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles
      used
      and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
      presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our
      audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    In
      our
      opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
      in all material respects, the financial position of Perma-Fix Environmental
      Services, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the
      results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
      in
      the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States of America.
    Also,
      in
      our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
      to
      the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
      in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
    As
      discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
      January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standard No.
      123(R) Shared Based Payment.
    The
      accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
      that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 20
      to
      the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects to be in default
      on its most significiant borrowings during 2008. The Company also has
      deficiencies in working capital. Together, these matters raise substantial
      doubt
      as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards
      to these matters is also described in Note 20. The consolidated financial
      statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
      of
      this uncertainty.
    We
      also
      have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
      Oversight Board (United States), Perma-fix Environmental Services, Inc. and
      subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
      2007, based on criteria established in Internal
      Control – Integrated Framework
      issued
      by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
      (COSO) and our report dated March 31, 2008, expressed an adverse
      opinion thereon.

    DESCRIPTION
      OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    Perma-Fix
      Environmental Services, Inc. (the Company, which may be referred to as we,
      us,
      or our), an environmental and technology know-how company, is a Delaware
      corporation, engaged through its subsidiaries, in:
    | · | Nuclear
                Waste Management Services (“Nuclear” or “Nuclear Segment”), which
                includes: | 
| o | Treatment,
                storage, processing and disposal of mixed waste (waste that is both
                low-level radioactive and hazardous) which includes on and off-site
                waste
                remediation and processing;  | 
| o | Nuclear,
                low-level radioactive, hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment,
                processing and disposal; and | 
| o | Research
                and development of innovative ways to process low-level radioactive
                and
                mixed waste. | 
| · | Consulting
                Engineering Services (“Engineering” or “Engineering Segment”), which
                includes: | 
| o | Broad-scope
                environmental issues, including environmental management programs,
                regulatory permitting, compliance and auditing, landfill design,
                field
                testing and characterization. | 
On
      May
      18, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of our Industrial
      Segment. Our Industrial Segment provides treatment, storage, processing, and
      disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, wastewater management services,
      and environmental services, which includes emergency response, vacuum services,
      marine environmental and other remediation services. The decision to sell our
      Industrial Segment is based on our belief that our Nuclear Segment represents
      a
      sustainable long-term growth driver of our business. During 2007, we have
      entered into several letters of intent to sell various portions of our
      Industrial Segment. All of the letters of intent have expired or terminated
      without being completed, except for the following: we completed, on January
      8,
      2008, the sale of substantially all of the assets of Perma-Fix Maryland, Inc.
      (“PFMD”) for $3,825,000 in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment during
      2008, and assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities of PFMD, and during
      March, 2008, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of
      Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”) for approximately $2,143,000 in cash, subject
      to certain working capital adjustments after the closing, plus assumption by
      the
      buyer of certain of PFD’s liabilities and obligations, (including, without
      limitation, certain of PFD’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement entered
      into by PFD in connection with the settlement of plaintiff’s claims under the
      Fisher Lawsuit, as discussed and defined in “Legal Proceedings”, and
      approximately $562,000 in PFD’s obligations for and relating to supplemental
      environmental projects that PFD is obligated to perform under the Consent Decree
      entered into with the federal government in settlement of the Government’s
      Lawsuit as discussed and defined in “Legal Proceedings”) in connection with the
      Fisher Lawsuit (see “Note 19 – Subsequent Event - Divestitures” for terms
      of the sales) . We are negotiating the sale of Perma-Fix South Georgia, Inc.
      (“PFSG”) and we anticipate that it will be completed by the end of May 2008. The
      terms of the sale of PFSG are subject to being finalized. We are attempting
      to
      sell the other companies and/or operations within our Industrial Segment, but
      as
      of the date of this report, we have not entered into any agreements regarding
      these other companies or operations within our Industrial Segment. As a result
      of the proposed divestiture of the facilities/operations within our Industrial
      Segment, we have classified approximately $14,341,000 of assets as held for
      sale. The assets held for sale are subject to further adjustments pending us
      entering into definitive purchase agreement with a buyer on the proposed sale
      of
      PFSG and other future definitive purchase agreements entered into on our other
      remaining facilities within our Industrial Segment.
    At
      May
      25, 2007, the Industrial Segment met the held for sale criteria under Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the
      Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, and therefore, certain assets and
      liabilities of the Industrial Segment are reclassified as
      discontinued
    65
        operations
      in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we have ceased depreciation of the
      Industrial Segment’s long-lived assets classified as held for sale. The results
      of operations and cash flows of the Industrial Segment have been reported in
      the
      Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations for all periods
      presented. The criteria which the Company based its decision in reclassifying
      its Industrial Segment as discontinued operations is as follows: (1) the Company
      has the ability and authority to sell certain or all of the facilities within
      the Industrial Segment; (2) the facilities are available for sale in its present
      condition; (3) the sale of the facilities is probable and is expected to occur
      within one year, subject to certain circumstances; (4) the facilities are being
      actively marketed at its fair value; and (5) the Company’s actions to finalize
      the disposal of the facilities are unlikely to change significantly.
    We
      believe the divestiture of certain facilities within our Industrial Segment
      has
      not occurred within the anticipated time period due to the current state of
      our
      economy which has impacted potential buyers’ ability to obtain financing. In
      addition, the original LOI entered between us and a potential buyer included
      the
      majority of the companies within our Industrial Segment. This sale did not
      materialize, leading us to pursue the potential sale of each company
      individually. Although this process has taken more time than anticipated for
      numerous reasons, we continue to market the facilities within our Industrial
      Segment for eventual sale. 
    We
      are
      subject to certain risks as we are involved in the treatment, handling, storage
      and transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous, mixed and industrial wastes
      and wastewater. Such activities contain risks against which we believe we are
      adequately insured. 
    Our
      consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of
      our
      wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:
    Continuing
      Operations:
      Schreiber, Yonley and Associates (“SYA”), Diversified Scientific Services, Inc.
      (“DSSI”), East Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation (“M&EC”),
      Perma-Fix of Florida, Inc. (“PFF”), and effective June 13, 2007, our newly
      acquired subsidiary, Perma-Fix of Northwest Richland, Inc.
      (“PFNWR”).
    Discontinued
      Operations (See “Note 6”):
      The
      subsidiaries that comprise the Industrial Segment: Perma-Fix Treatment Services,
      Inc. (“PFTS”), Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”), Perma-Fix of Ft. Lauderdale,
      Inc. (“PFFL”), Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc. (“PFO”), Perma-Fix of South Georgia,
      Inc. (“PFSG”), Perma-Fix of Maryland, Inc. (“PFMD”), and two non-operational
      facilities, Perma-Fix of Michigan, Inc. (“PFMI”), and Perma-Fix of Pittsburgh,
      Inc. (“PFP”). 
    NOTE

    SUMMARY
      OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    Principles
      of Consolidation
    Our
      consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our
      wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany
      accounts and transactions. 
    Reclassifications
    Certain
      prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
      presentation.
    Use
      of Estimates
    When
      we
      prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles in the United States of America, we make estimates and assumptions
      that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
      of
      contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
      as
      well as, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
      period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Notes 6, 10,
      11,
      and 14 for estimates of discontinued operations, closure costs, environmental
      liabilities and contingencies for details on significant estimates.
    66
        Restricted
      Cash
    Restricted
      cash reflects $35,000 held in escrow for our workers’ compensation policy.
    Investments
    Management
      determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of
      acquisition and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.
      The
      Company accounts for its investments in debt and equity securities under
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 115, “Accounting for
      Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” which requires certain
      securities to be categorized as either trading, available-for-sale, or
      held-to-maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value,
      with
      unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of
      stockholders’ equity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at
      amortized cost. The Company owned 24,000 shares of the Common Stock of IsoRay
      Inc. in connection with the acquisition of Nuvotec USA, Inc. (n/k/a Perma-Fix
      of
      Northwest, Inc.) and its subsidiary, which was valued at $121,000 at
      acquisition. The stocks are classified as trading securities with unrealized
      gains and losses included in earnings. The Company reviews its investments
      quarterly for declines in market value that are other than temporary.
      Investments that have declined in market value that are determined to be other
      than temporary, are charged to other income by writing that investment down
      to
      market value. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company sold the 24,000 shares
      of IsoRay, Inc and received proceeds of $50,000. For the year ended December
      31,
      2007, we recognized a loss of approximately $71,000 for these shares.
    Accounts
      Receivable
    Accounts
      receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring
      payment within 30 or 60 days from the invoice date based on the customer type
      (government, broker, or commercial). Account balances are stated by invoice
      at
      the amount billed to the customer. Payments of accounts receivable are made
      directly to a lockbox and are applied to the specific invoices stated on the
      customer's remittance advice. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is
      reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is a valuation allowance
      that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be
      collected. We regularly review all accounts receivable balances that exceed
      60
      days from the invoice date and based on an assessment of current credit
      worthiness, estimate the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be
      collected. This analysis excludes government related receivables due to our
      past
      successful experience in their collectibility. Specific accounts that are deemed
      to be uncollectible are reserved at 100% of their outstanding balance. The
      remaining balances aged over 60 days have a percentage applied by aging category
      (5% for balances 61-90 days, 20% for balances 91-120 days and 40% for balances
      over 120 days aged), based on a historical valuation, that allows us to
      calculate the total reserve required. Once we have exhausted all options in
      the
      collection of a delinquent accounts receivable balance, which includes
      collection letters, demands for payment, collection agencies and attorneys,
      the
      account is deemed uncollectible and subsequently written off. The write off
      process involves approvals, based on dollar amount, from senior
      management.
    Unbilled
      Receivables
    Unbilled
      receivables are generated by differences between invoicing timing and the
      percentage of completion methodology used for revenue recognition purposes.
      As
      major processing and milestone phases are completed and the costs incurred,
      we
      recognize the corresponding percentage of revenue. We
      experience delays in processing invoices due to the complexity of the
      documentation that is required for invoicing, as well as, the difference between
      completion of revenue recognition milestones and agreed upon invoicing terms,
      which results in unbilled receivables. The timing differences occur for several
      reasons. Partially from delays in the final processing of all wastes associated
      with certain work orders and partially from delays for analytical testing that
      is required after we have processed waste but prior to our release of waste
      for
      disposal. The difference also occurs due to our end disposal sites requirement
      of pre-approval prior to our shipping waste for disposal and our contract terms
      with the customer that we dispose of the waste prior to invoicing. These delays
      usually take several months to complete but are normally considered collectible
      within twelve months. As we now have historical data to review the timing of
      these delays, we realize that certain issues, including but not limited to
      delays at our third party disposal site, can postpone
    67
        and
      delay
      the collection of some of these receivables greater than twelve months. However,
      our historical experience suggests that a significant part of unbilled
      receivables are ultimately collectible with minimal concession on our part.
      We
      therefore, segregate the unbilled receivables between current and long term.
      
    Inventories
    Inventories
      consist of treatment chemicals, salable used oils, and certain supplies.
      Additionally, we have replacement parts in inventory, which are deemed critical
      to the operating equipment and may also have extended lead times should the
      part
      fail and need to be replaced. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
      market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method.
    Property
      and Equipment
    Property
      and equipment expenditures are capitalized and depreciated using the
      straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial
      statement purposes, while accelerated depreciation methods are principally
      used
      for income tax purposes. Generally, annual depreciation rates range from ten
      to
      forty years for buildings (including improvements and asset retirement costs)
      and three to seven years for office furniture and equipment, vehicles, and
      decontamination and processing equipment. Leasehold improvements are capitalized
      and amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the life of the asset.
      Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred. The cost
      and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the
      respective accounts, and any gain or loss from sale or retirement is recognized
      in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Renewals and
      improvements, which extend the useful lives of the assets, are capitalized.
      Included within buildings is an asset retirement obligation, which represents
      our best estimate of the cost to close, at some undetermined future date, our
      permitted and/or licensed facilities. The asset retirement cost was originally
      recorded at $4,559,000 and depreciates over the estimated useful life of the
      property. In 2007, as result of the acquisition of PNFWR, we recorded an
      additional asset retirement obligation cost of $3,768,000, which has been
      depreciated over the estimated useful life of the property.
    In
      accordance with Statement 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and
      equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed
      for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
      carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
      to
      be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
      to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
      asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
      flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
      amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
      of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower
      of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer
      depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held
      for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability
      sections of the balance sheet. 
    As
      result
      of the approved divestiture of our Industrial Segment by our Board of Directors
      in 2007 and based on the pricing reflected in the various LOIs we received,
      we
      performed updated financial valuations of certain of our long-lived on the
      Industrial Segment to test for impairment as required by Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
      Long-Lived Assets”. Our analysis included the comparison of the offered sale
      price less cost to sell to the carrying value of the investment under each
      LOI
      separately in the Industrial Segment. Based on our analysis, we concluded that
      the carrying value of the tangible assets for Perma-Fix Dayton, Inc., Perma-Fix
      of Treatment Services, Inc., Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc., and Perma-Fix of South
      Georgia, Inc. facilities exceeded its fair value, less cost to sell.
      Consequently, we recorded $2,727,000, $1,804,000, $507,000 and $1,329,000,
      respectively, in tangible asset impairment loss for each of the facilities,
      which are included in “loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes” on our
      Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.
      
    68
        Capitalized
      Interest
    The
      Company’s policy is to capitalize interest cost incurred on debt during the
      construction of major projects exceeding one year. A reconciliation of our
      total
      interest cost to “Interest Expense” as reported on our consolidated statements
      of operations for 2007, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:
    | (Amounts
                in Thousands) | 2007 |  2006 |  2005 | |||||||

                 | ||||
Goodwill
      and Other Intangible Assets
    Intangible
      assets relating to acquired businesses consist primarily of the cost of
      purchased businesses in excess of the estimated fair value of net identifiable
      assets acquired (“goodwill”) and the recognized permit value of the business.
      Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested
      annually for impairment, or more frequently if triggering events occur or other
      impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability. An impairment
      loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s
      fair value. For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the Reporting
      unit and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value
      of
      a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying
      amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is
      recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s
      goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill. The implied value of
      goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in
      a
      manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS Statement
      No. 141, Business
      Combinations.
      Our
      annual financial valuations performed as of October 1, 2007, 2006, and 2005,
      indicated no impairments. The Company estimates the fair value of our reporting
      units using a discounted cash flow valuation approach. This approach is
      dependent on estimates for future sales, operating income, working capital
      changes, and capital expenditures, as well as, expected growth rates for cash
      flows and long-term interest rates, all of which are impacted by economic
      conditions related to our industry as well as conditions in the U.S. capital
      (see “Note 4” for further discussion on goodwill and other intangible assets).
    As
      a
      result of classifying our Industrial Segment as discontinued operations in
      2007,
      we performed internal financial valuations on the selected intangible assets
      of
      the Industrial Segment as a whole, based on the LOIs received, to test for
      impairment as required by SFAS 142. We concluded that no intangible impairments
      of goodwill or intangible assets existed as of October 1, 2007 or December
      31,
      2007. 
    Accrued
      Closure Costs
    Accrued
      closure costs represent our estimated environmental liability to clean up our
      facilities as required by our permits, in the event of closure.
    SFAS
      No.
      143, Accounting
      for Asset Retirement Obligations,
      (“SFAS
      143”) requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
      obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable
      estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement
      costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
      In
      conjunction with the state mandated permit and licensing requirements, we are
      obligated to determine our best estimate of the cost to close, at some
      undetermined future date, our permitted and/or licensed facilities. We
      subsequently increase this liability as a result of changes to the facility
      and/or for inflation. The associated asset retirement cost is recorded as
      property and equipment (buildings). We are depreciating the asset retirement
      cost on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 40 years.
    Income
        Taxes
      The
        provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
        Accounting
        for Income Taxes.
        Under
        this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future
        tax
        consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying
        amounts of existing assets and liabilities
    69
         and
      their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
      using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
      in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
      Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
      is
      recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
      date.
    In
      July
      2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting
      for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
      which
      attempts to set out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine
      the
      appropriate level of tax reserve to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This
      interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a
      tax
      benefit is recognized if a position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained.
      The
      amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit which
      is
      greater than 50% likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure
      requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. The Company
      adopted this Interpretation as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did
      not have a material impact on our financial statements.
    Gross
      Receipts Taxes and Other Charges
    We
      adopted EITF Issue No. 06-03, How
      Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should
      be Presented in the Income Statement,
      (EITF
      06-03), for the year ended December 31, 2006. EITF 06-03 provides guidance
      regarding the accounting and financial statement presentation for certain taxes
      assessed by a governmental authority. These taxes and surcharges include, among
      others, universal service fund charges, sales, use, waste, and some excise
      taxes. In determining whether to include such taxes in our revenue and expenses,
      we assess, among other things, whether we are the primary obligor or principal
      taxpayer for the taxes assessed in each jurisdiction where we do business.
      As we
      are merely a collection agent for the government authority in certain of our
      facilities, we record the taxes on a net method and do not include them in
      our
      revenue and cost of services. The adoption of EITF 06-03 did not change our
      accounting for these taxes.
    Comprehensive
      Income
    Comprehensive
      income is
      defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during
      a
      period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
      sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those
      resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive
      income has two components, net income and other comprehensive income, and is
      included on the balance sheet in the equity section. Our other comprehensive
      income consisted of the market value of the interest rate swap. For more
      information see Interest Rate Swap policy below.
    Revenue
      Recognition
    Nuclear
      revenues.
      The
      processing of mixed waste is complex and may take several months or more to
      complete, as such we recognize revenues on a percentage of completion basis
      with
      our measure of progress towards completion determined based on output measures
      consisting of milestones achieved and completed. We have waste tracking
      capabilities, which we continue to enhance, to allow us to better match the
      revenues earned to the processing phases achieved. The revenues are recognized
      as each of the following three processing phases are completed: receipt,
      treatment/processing and shipment/final disposal. However, based on the
      processing of certain waste streams, the treatment/processing and shipment/final
      disposal phases may be combined as they are completed concurrently. As major
      processing phases are completed and the costs incurred, we recognize the
      corresponding percentage of revenue. We experience delays in processing invoices
      due to the complexity of the documentation that is required for invoicing,
      as
      well as the difference between completion of revenue recognition milestones
      and
      agreed upon invoicing terms, which results in unbilled receivables. The timing
      differences occur for several reasons, partially from delays in the final
      processing of all wastes associated with certain work orders and partially
      from
      delays for analytical testing that is required after we have processed waste
      but
      prior to our release of waste for disposal. The difference also occurs due
      to
      our end disposal sites requirement of preapproval prior to our shipping waste
      for disposal and our contract terms with the customer that we dispose of the
      waste prior to invoicing. As the waste moves through these processing phases
      and
      revenues are recognized, the correlating costs are expensed as incurred.
      Although we use our best estimates and all available information to accurately
      determine these 
    70
        disposal
      expenses, the risk does exist that these
      estimates could prove to be inadequate in the event the waste requires
      retreatment. Furthermore, should the waste be returned to the generator, the
      related receivables could be uncollectible; however, historical experience
      has
      not indicated this to be a material uncertainty.
    Consulting
      revenues.
      Consulting revenues are recognized as services are rendered. The services
      provided are based on billable hours and revenues are recognized in relation
      to
      incurred labor and consulting costs. Out of pocket costs reimbursed by customers
      are also included in revenues.
    Self-Insurance
    We
      are
      self-insured for a significant portion of our group health. The Company
      estimates expected losses based on statistical analyses of historical industry
      data, as well as our own estimates based on the Company’s actual historical data
      to determine required self-insurance reserves. The assumptions are closely
      reviewed, monitored, and adjusted when warranted by changing circumstances.
      The
      estimated accruals for these liabilities could be affected if actual experience
      related to the number of claims and cost per claim differs from these
      assumptions and historical trends. Based on the information known on December
      31, 2007, we believe we have provided adequate reserves for our self-insurance
      exposure. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, self-insurance reserves were
      $736,000 and $511,000, respectively, and were included in accrued expenses
      in
      the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total amounts expensed for
      self-insurance during 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $2,657,000, $1,561,000 and
      $1,692,000, respectively, for our continuing operations, and $1,493,000,
      $1,307,000, and $1,782,000 for our discontinued operations,
      respectively.
    Share-Based
      Compensation
    On
      January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
      Statement No. 123 (revised) ("SFAS 123R"), Share-Based
      Payment,
      a
      revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation,
      superseding APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees, and
      its
      related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes
      accounting standards for entity exchanges of equity instruments for goods or
      services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
      in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the
      entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those
      equity instruments.  SFAS 123R
      requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
      stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their
      fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative upon adopting
      SFAS 123R.  
    We
      adopted SFAS 123R utilizing the modified prospective method in which
      compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on
      SFAS 123R requirements for all (a) share-based payments granted after the
      effective date and (b) awards granted to employees prior to the effective
      date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. In accordance
      with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements
      for
      prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact
      of SFAS 123R.
    Before
      our adoption of SFAS 123R in January 1, 2006, the Company previously accounted
      for stock option grants under the recognition and measurement principles of
      APB
      Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) and related
      interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS 123.
    Prior
      to
      our adoption of SFAS 123R, on
      July 28, 2005, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
      Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all the outstanding and
      unvested options to purchase Common Stock awarded to employees as of the
      approval date. The Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of these
      options based on the belief that it was in the best interest of our stockholders
      to reduce future compensation expense that would otherwise be required in the
      statement of operations upon adoption of SFAS 123R, effective beginning January
      1, 2006. The accelerated vesting 
    71
        triggered
      the re-measurement of compensation cost
      under current accounting standards.  See “Note 3 – Share Based
      Compensation” for further detail of SFAS 123R and the impact on our financial
      statement.
    Prior
      to
      the adoption of SFAS 123R, we furnished the pro forma disclosures required
      under
      SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosures”.
      Employee stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R was not
      reflected in our results of operations for the year ending December 2005 for
      employee stock option grants as all options were granted with an exercise price
      equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant.
      Previously reported amounts have not been restated. See “Note 3 – Share Based
      Compensation” for impact of SFAS 123R on our financial statement.
    Under
      the
      accounting provisions of SFAS 123, our net income and net income per share
      would
      have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands except
      for per share amounts):

Interest
      Rate Swap
    We
      entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective December 22, 2000, to
      modify the interest characteristics of our outstanding debt from a floating
      basis to a fixed rate, thus reducing the possible impact of interest rate
      changes on future income. This agreement involved the receipt of floating rate
      amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the
      agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The
      differential to be paid or received was accrued as interest rates changed and
      recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt. The related
      amount payable to or receivable from counter parties was included in other
      assets or liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded
      a
      gain on the interest rate swap of $41,000, which was included in other
    73
        comprehensive
      income on the Statement of
      Stockholders' Equity. The interest rate swap agreement expired in December
      2005.
    Fair
      Value of Financial Instruments
    The
      carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable,
      accrued expenses and unearned revenues approximate their fair values principally
      because of the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The fair
      value of our long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates offered
      to
      us for debt of similar terms and maturities. Under this method, the fair value
      of long-term debt was not significantly different from the stated carrying
      value
      at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The carrying value of our subsidiary's preferred
      stock is not significantly different than its fair value.
    Recent
      Accounting Pronouncements
    In
      September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157
      simplifies and codifies guidance on fair value measurements under generally
      accepted accounting principles. This standard defines fair value, establishes
      a
      framework for measuring fair value and prescribes expanded disclosures about
      fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
      issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim
      periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted; however the
      FASB has deferred the implementation of the provision of SFAS 157 relating
      to
      nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. We are currently
      evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our
      financial condition, results of operations and cash flow; however, we do not
      expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial
      position or results of operations.
    In
      February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
      Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
      measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
      objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
      opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
      related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
      hedge
      accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value
      measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement
      objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective
      as of
      the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November, 15,
      2007. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS
      159
      will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow;
      however, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact
      on
      our financial position or results of operations.
    In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business
      Combinations.
      SFAS
      No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a
      business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
      assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in
      the
      acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring
      the
      goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information
      to
      disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature
      and
      financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for
      financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
      Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded
      and disclosed following existing GAAP until December 31, 2008. The Company
      expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial
      statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects
      will depend upon the nature, terms and size of acquisitions it consummates
      after
      the effect date. The Company is still assessing the impact of this standard
      on
      its future consolidated financial statements.
    In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
      Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
      51.
      SFAS
      No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interest. Minority
      interest will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported
      as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or
      sales of equity interest that do not result in a change in control will be
      accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable
      to
      the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on
      the
      face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold,
      as
      well as any interest retained, will be recorded at 
    74
        fair
      value with any gain or loss recognized in
      earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
      years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim period within those fiscal
      years, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will
      apply
      retrospectively. This standard is not expected to have as material impact on
      the
      Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

    SHARE
      BASED COMPENSATION
    On
      January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
      Statement No. 123 (revised) ("SFAS 123R"), Share-Based
      Payment,
      a
      revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation,
      superseding APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees, and
      its
      related implementation guidance. We
      adopted SFAS 123R utilizing the modified prospective method in which
      compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on
      SFAS 123R requirements for all (a) share-based payments granted after the
      effective date and (b) awards granted to employees prior to the effective
      date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. In accordance
      with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements
      for
      prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact
      of SFAS 123R.
    As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we had 2,014,026 employee stock options outstanding, which
      included 1,221,359 that were outstanding and fully vested at December 31, 2005,
      726,000 of the 878,000 employee stock options approved and granted on March
      2,
      2006, of which 235,333 are vested, and 66,667 of the 100,000 employee stock
      options approved and granted on May 15, 2006, of which 33,333 became vested
      and
      were exercised on May 15, 2007. The weighted average exercise price of the
      1,456,692 outstanding and fully vested employee stock options is $1.84 with
      a
      weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.95 years. The employee stock
      options outstanding at December 31, 2005 are ten year options, issuable at
      exercise prices from $1.25 to $2.19 per share, and expiration dates from October
      14, 2008 to October 28, 2014. The employee stock option grants in March and
      May
      2006 are six year options with a three year vesting period, with exercise prices
      from $1.85 to $1.86 per share. We did not grant any employee stock options
      for
      the year ended December 31, 2007. The fair value of the employee options which
      vested in 2007, 2006, and 2005 totalled $239,714, $0, and $0,
      respectively.
    Additionally,
      we have 576,000 outstanding director stock options, of which 102,000 were newly
      granted during the year ended December 31, 2007, which are ten year options
      with
      an exercise price of $2.95 and vesting period of six months, resulting from
      the
      election of our Board of Directors on August 2, 2007. The fair value of the
      102,000 option grant was $234,223. The weighted average exercise price of the
      474,000 exercisable director stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2007,
      is $1.97 with a weighted average contractual life of 5.85 years. The director
      stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 are ten year options, issuable
      at exercise prices ranging from $1.22 to $2.98 per share and expiration dates
      from May 20, 2008 to August 2, 2017. The fair value of the director options
      which vested in 2007, 2006, and 2005, totalled $156,815, $11,425, and $0,
      respectively.
    For
      the
      year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized share based compensation expense
      totaling approximately $242,000 for employee stock options grants of March
      2,
      2006 and May 15, 2006, as compared to $194,000 for the same period ended
      December 31, 2006. For the stock option grants on March 2, 2006 and May 15,
      2006, we estimated compensation expense based on the fair value at grant date
      using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and have recognized compensation
      expense using a straight-line amortization method over the three year vesting
      period. As SFAS 123R requires that stock-based compensation expense be
      based on options that are ultimately expected to vest, approximately $30,000
      of
      the $242,000 share based compensation expense recognized above for the twelve
      months ended December 31, 2007, was the result of the difference between our
      estimated forfeiture rate of 5.7% and the actual forfeiture rate of 1.7% for
      the
      first year vesting of our March 2, 2006 employee option grant. We have estimated
      a forfeiture rate of 8.5% for the second year vesting of our March 2, 2006
      employee option grant. 
    75
        When
      estimating forfeitures, we consider trends of
      actual option forfeitures. The forfeiture rates are evaluated, and revised
      as
      necessary. We recognized approximately $215,000 of share based compensation
      expense for our director options for the year ended December 31, 2007 as
      compared to $144,000 for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2006.
      For
      the director option grants on August 2, 2007, we have estimated compensation
      expense based on the fair value at grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation
      model, and have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line
      amortization method over the six month vesting period. In total, the share
      based
      compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 for our director
      and
      employee stock options impacted our results of operations by $457,000 as
      compared to $338,000 for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2006.
      We
      have approximately $457,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related
      to
      unvested options as of December 31, 2007, of which $262,000 will be recognized
      in 2008 and the remaining $195,000 in 2009. 
    For
      the
      director option grant of August 2, 2007, we calculated a fair value of $2.30
      for
      each option grant with the following assumptions using the Black-Scholes option
      pricing model: no dividend yield; an expected life of ten years; an expected
      volatility of 67.60%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.77%. We calculated
      a
      fair value of $0.868 for each March 2, 2006 option grant on the date of grant
      with the following assumptions:
      no
      dividend yield; an expected life of four years; expected volatility of 54.0%;
      and a risk free interest rate of 4.70%. We calculated a fair value of $0.877
      for
      the May 15, 2006 option grant on the date of grant with the following
      assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected life of four years; an expected
      volatility of 54.6%; and a risk-free interest rate of 5.03%. We calculated
      a
      fair value of $1.742 for each July 27, 2006 director option grant on the date
      of
      the grant with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected life
      of
      ten years; an expected volatility of 73.31%; and a risk free interest rate
      of
      4.98%. 
    Our
      computation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility from our
      traded common stock. Due to our change in the contractual term and vesting
      period, we utilized the
      simplified method, defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
      Accounting Bulletin No. 107, to calculate the expected term for our 2006
      employee grants. The expected term for our 2006 and 2007 director grants were
      calculated based on historical trend. The
      interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based
      on
      the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

    GOODWILL
      AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
    The
      following table is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill
      for
      the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 (amounts in thousands). As
      a
      result of the acquisition of the PFNWR facility within our Nuclear Segment
      on
      June 13, 2007, we recorded $7,716,000 in goodwill within our Nuclear Segment
      (See “Note 5” below for goodwill recorded as result of the acquisition of PFNWR
      facility). We have no goodwill for our Industrial Segment (discontinued
      operations) as of December 31, 2007.

The
      following table is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of permits for
      the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 (amounts in thousands). We
      recorded $4,500,000 in permit costs within our Nuclear Segment as result of
      the
      acquisition of our PFNWR facility on June 13, 2007 (See “Note 5” below for
      permit recorded as result of the acquisition of PFNWR facility). Our Engineering
      Segment has 
    76
        been
      excluded as it has no permits recorded. Our
      Industrial Segment, or discontinued operations, has had a balance of $2,369,000
      in Permit costs since December 31, 2005.

As
      result
      of classifying our Industrial Segment as discontinued operations in 2007, we
      performed internal financial valuations on the intangible assets of the
      Industrial Segment as a whole, based on the LOIs received, to test for
      impairment as required by SFAS 142. The only indefinite life intangible was
      permits of $2,369,000. We concluded that no intangible impairments existed
      as of
      December 31, 2007.

    BUSINESS
      ACQUISITION
    Acquisition
      of Nuvotec
    On
      June
      13, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Nuvotec and its wholly owned
      subsidiary, Pacific EcoSolutions, Inc (PEcoS), pursuant to the terms of the
      Merger Agreement, between Perma-Fix, Perma-Fix’s wholly owned subsidiary,
      Transitory, Nuvotec, and PEcoS, dated April 27, 2007, which was subsequently
      amended on June 13, 2007. The Company acquired 100% of the voting shares of
      Nuvotec. The acquisition was structured as a reverse subsidiary merger, with
      Transitory being merged into Nuvotec, and Nuvotec being the surviving
      corporation. As a result of the merger, Nuvotec became a wholly owned subsidiary
      of Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc. (PESI). Nuvotec’s name was changed to
      Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc. (“PFNW”). PEcoS, whose name was changed to Perma-Fix
      Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) on August 2, 2007, is a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of PFNW. PEcoS is a permitted hazardous, low level radioactive and
      mixed waste treatment, storage and disposal facility located in the Hanford
      U.S.
      Department of Energy site in the eastern part of the state of Washington.
    Under
      the
      terms of the Merger Agreement, the purchase price paid by the Company in
      connection with the acquisition was $17.3 million, consisting of as follows:
      
    | (a) | $2.3
                million in cash at closing of the merger, with $1.5 million payable
                to
                unaccredited shareholders and $0.8 million payable to shareholders
                of
                Nuvotec that qualified as accredited investors pursuant to Rule 501
                of
                Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
                (the
                “Act”). | 
| (b) | Also
                payable only to the shareholders of Nuvotec that qualified as accredited
                investors: | 
| · | $2.5
                million, payable over a four year period, unsecured and nonnegotiable
                and
                bearing an annual rate of interest of 8.25%, with (i) accrued interest
                only payable on June 30, 2008, (ii) $833,333.33, plus accrued and
                unpaid
                interest, payable on June 30, 2009, (iii) $833,333.33, plus accrued
                and
                unpaid interest, payable on June 30, 2010, and (iv) the remaining
                unpaid
                principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, payable on June
                30,
                2011 (collectively, the “Installment Payments”). The Installment Payments
                may be prepaid at any time by Perma-Fix without penalty; and
                 | 
77
        | · | 709,207
                shares of Perma-Fix common stock, which were issued on July 23, 2007,
                with
                such number of shares determined by dividing $2.0 million by 95%
                of
                average of the closing price of the common stock as quoted on the
                NASDAQ
                during the 20 trading days period ending five business days prior
                to the
                closing of the merger. The value of these shares on June 13, 2007
                was $2.2
                million, which was determined by the average closing price of the
                common
                stock as quoted on the NASDAQ four days prior to and following the
                completion date of the acquisition, which was June 13, 2007.
                 | 
| (c) | The
                assumption of $9.4 million of debt, $8.9 million of which was payable
                to
                KeyBank National Association which represents debt owed by PFNW under
                a
                credit facility. As part of the closing, the Company paid down $5.4
                million of this debt resulting in debt remaining of $4.0
                million.  | 
| (d) | Transaction
                costs totaling $0.9 million.  | 
In
      addition to the above, the agreement contains a contingency of an earn-out
      amount not to exceed $4.4 million over a four year period (“Earn-Out Amount”).
      The earn-out amounts will be earned if certain annual revenue targets are met
      by
      the Company’s consolidated Nuclear Segment. The first $1.0 million of the
      earn-out amount, when earned, will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy
      certain indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement of Nuvotec,
      PEcoS, and the shareholders of Nuvotec to Perma-Fix that are identified by
      Perma-Fix within the escrow period as provided in the Merger Agreement. The
      earn-out amount, if and when paid, will increase goodwill. As of December 31,
      2007 the Company has not made or accrued any earn-out payments to Nuvotec
      shareholders because such revenue targets have not been met.
    The
      acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, pursuant
      to SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”. The consideration for the acquisition was
      attributed to net assets on the basis of the fair value of assets acquired
      and
      liabilities assumed as of June 13, 2007. The results of operations after June
      13, 2007 have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The excess
      of the cost of the acquisition over the estimated fair value of the net tangible
      assets and intangible assets on the acquisition date, which amounted to $7.7
      million, was allocated to goodwill which is not amortized but subject to an
      annual impairment test. The Company has not yet finalized the allocation of
      the
      purchase price to the net assets acquired in this acquisition. As such the
      estimated purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to further
      revision. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price to
      the
      net assets acquired in this acquisition as of December 31, 2007.

The
      results of operations of Nuvotec (n/k/a Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc.) and PEcoS
      (n/k/a Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc.) have been included in Perma-Fix’s
      consolidated financial statements from the date of the closing of the
      acquisition, which was June 13, 2007. The following unaudited pro forma
      financial information presents the combined results of operations of combining
      Nuvotec and PEcoS and Perma Fix as though the acquisition had occurred as of
      the
      beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information does
      not
      necessarily represent the results of operations that would have occurred had
      Nuvotec and PEcoS and Perma Fix been a single company during the periods
      presented, nor does Perma Fix believe that the pro forma financial information
      presented is necessarily representative of future operating results. As the
      acquisition was a stock transaction, none of the goodwill related to PFNWR
      is
      deductible for tax purposes.

    DISCONTINUED
      OPERATIONS
    Our
      discontinued operations encompass all of our facilities within our Industrial
      Segment. As previously discussed in “Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis
      of Presentation”, on May 25, 2007, our Industrial Segment met the held for sale
      criteria under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, and therefore,
      certain assets and liabilities of the Industrial Segment are classified as
      discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and we have ceased
      depreciation of the Industrial Segment’s long-lived assets classified as held
      for sale. The results of operations and cash flows of the Industrial Segment
      have been reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued
      operations for all periods presented. 
    79
        The
      following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the years
      ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These results are included in our
      Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of our “Loss from discontinued
      operations, net of taxes”. Our “Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes”
for 2007 was impacted by a number of items as discussed below.

A
      subsidiary within our Industrial Segment, PFD was defending a lawsuit styled
      Barbara
      Fisher v. Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc.,
      in the
      United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio (the “Fisher Lawsuit”).
      This citizen’s suit was brought under the Clean Air Act alleging, among other
      things, violations by PFD of state and federal clean air statutes connected
      with
      the operation of PFD’s facility located in Dayton, Ohio. As further previously
      disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Environmental
      Protection Agency, intervened in the Fisher Lawsuit alleging, among other
      things, substantially similar violations alleged in the Fisher Lawsuit (the
      “Government’s Lawsuit”).
    During
      December 2007, PFD and the federal government entered into a Consent Decree
      formalizing settlement of the government’s portion of the above described
      lawsuit, which Consent Decree was approved by the federal court during the
      first
      quarter of 2008. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the settlement with the federal
      government resolved the government’s claims against PFD and requires PFD
      to:
    | · | pay
                a civil penalty of $360,000;  | 
| · | complete
                three supplemental environmental projects costing not less than $562,000
                to achieve air emission controls that go above and beyond those required
                by any current environmental
                regulations. | 
| · | implement
                a variety of state and federal air permit pollution control measures;
                and | 
| · | take
                a variety of voluntary steps to reduce the potential for emissions
                of air
                pollutants. | 
During
      December 2007, PFD and Plaintiff, Fisher, entered into a Settlement Agreement
      formalizing settlement of the Plaintiff’s claims in the above lawsuit. The
      settlement with Plaintiff Fisher resolved the Plaintiff’s claims against PFD
      and, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement,
      requires PFD to pay a total of $1,325,000. Our insurer has agreed to contribute
      $662,500 toward the settlement cost of the citizen’s suit portion of the
      litigation, which we received on March 13, 2008. Based on discussion with our
      insurer, our insurer will not pay any portion of the settlement with the federal
      government in the Government Lawsuit.
    As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we have recorded a total of $1,625,000 of charges in our
      discontinued operations for settlement by PFD of the Fisher Lawsuit and the
      Government Lawsuit.
    In
      connection with PFD’s sale of substantially all of
      its assets, as discussed in Note 19, “Subsequent Event”, the buyer has agreed to
      assume certain of PFD’s obligations under the Consent Decree and Settlement
    80
        Agreement,
      including, without limitation, PFD’s obligation to implement supplemental
      environmental projects costing not less than $562,000, implement a variety
      of
      state and federal air permit control measures and reduce the potential for
      emissions of air pollutants.
    As
      previously reported, on April 12, 2007 our insurer agreed to reimburse PFD
      for
      reasonable defense costs of litigation incurred prior to our insurer’s
      assumption of the defense, but this agreement to defend and indemnify PFD was
      subject to the our insurer’s reservation of its rights to deny indemnity
      pursuant to various policy provisions and exclusions, including, without
      limitation, payment of any civil penalties and fines, as well as our insurer’s
      right to recoup any defense cost it has advanced if our insurer later determines
      that its policy provides no coverage. When, our
      insurer withdrew
      its prior coverage denial and agreed to defend and indemnify PFD in the above
      described lawsuits, subject to certain reservation of rights, we had incurred
      more than $2.5
      million in costs in vigorously defending against the Fisher and the Government
      Lawsuits. To date, our insurer has reimbursed PFD approximately $2.5
      million for legal defense fees and disbursements, which we recorded as a
      recovery within our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2007.
      Partial reimbursement from our insurer of $750,000 was received on July 11,
      2007. A second reimbursement of approximately $1.75 million was received on
      August 17, 2007. Our insurer has advised us that they will reimburse us for
      approximately another $82,000 in legal fees and disbursements, which we recorded
      as a recovery within our discontinued operations in the 4th
      quarter
      2007. This reimbursement is subject to our insurer’s reservation of rights as
      noted above. On February 12, 2008, we received reimbursement of approximately
      $24,000 from our insurer. We anticipate receiving the remaining reimbursement
      by
      the end of the second quarter of 2008. 
    As
      events
      warranted, we performed an updated internal analysis on the tangible and
      intangible assets to test for impairment in the Industrial Segment as required
      by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, “Accounting for the
      Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other
      Intangible Assets”. Our analysis, as required by SFAS 144, included the
      comparison of the offered sale price less cost to sell to the carrying value
      of
      the investment under each LOI separately. Based on our analysis, we concluded
      that the carrying value of the tangible assets for Perma-Fix Dayton, Inc.,
      Perma-Fix of Treatment Services, Inc., Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc., and Perma-Fix
      of South Georgia, Inc. facilities exceeded its fair value, less cost to sell.
      Consequently, in 2007, we recorded $2,727,000, $1,804,000, $507,000 and
      $1,329,000, respectively, in tangible asset impairment loss for each of the
      facilities, which are included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of
      taxes” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December
      31, 2007. We also performed financial valuations on the intangible assets of
      the
      Industrial Segment as a whole to test for impairment as required by SFAS 142.
      We
      concluded that no other tangible and intangible impairments existed as of
      December 31, 2007. 
    Assets
      related to discontinued operations total $14,341,000 and $22,750,000 as of
      December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and liabilities related to
      discontinued operations total $11,949,000 and $10,632,000, as of December 31,
      2007 and 2006, respectively. 
    The
      following table presents the Industrial Segment’s major classes of assets and

Non
      Operational Facilities
    The
      Industrial Segment includes two previously shut-down facilities which were
      presented as discontinued operations in prior years. These facilities include
      Perma-Fix of Pittsburgh (PFP) and Perma-Fix of Michigan (PFMI). Our decision
      to
      discontinue operations at PFP was due to our reevaluation of the facility and
      our inability to achieve profitability at the facility. During February 2006,
      we
      completed the remediation of the leased property and the equipment at PFP,
      and
      released the property back to the owner. Our decision to discontinue operations
      at PFMI was principally a result of two fires that significantly disrupted
      operations at the facility in 2003, and the facility’s continued drain on the
      financial resources of our Industrial Segment. As a result of the discontinued
      operations at the PFMI facility, we were required to complete certain closure
      and remediation activities pursuant to our RCRA permit, which were completed
      in
      January 2006. In September 2006, PFMI signed a Corrective Action Consent Order
      with the State of Michigan, requiring performance of studies and development
      and
      execution of plans related to the potential clean-up of soils in portions of
      the
      property. The level and cost of the clean-up and remediation are determined
      by
      state mandated requirements. Upon discontinuation of operations in 2004, we
      engaged our 
    82
        engineering
      firm, SYA, to perform an analysis and
      related estimate of the cost to complete the RCRA portion of the
      closure/clean-up costs and the potential long-term remediation costs. Based
      upon
      this analysis, we estimated the cost of this environmental closure and
      remediation liability to be $2,464,000. During 2006, based on state-mandated
      criteria, we re-evaluated our required activities to close and remediate the
      facility, and during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we began implementing
      the
      modified methodology to remediate the facility. As a result of the reevaluation
      and the change in methodology, we reduced the accrual by $1,182,000. We
      have spent approximately $710,000 for closure costs since September 30, 2004,
      of
      which $81,000 has been spent during 2007 and $74,000 was spent in 2006. In
      the
      4th
      quarter of 2007, we reduced our reserve by $9,000 as a result of our
      reassessment of the cost of remediation. We have $563,000 accrued for the
      closure, as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate spending $401,000 in 2008
      with the remainder over the next five years. Based on the current status of
      the
      Corrective Action, we believe that the remaining reserve is adequate to cover
      the liability.
    As
      of December 31, 2007, PFMI has a pension payable of $1,287,000. The
      pension plan withdrawal liability, is a result of the termination of the union
      employees of PFMI. The PFMI union employees participate in the Central States
      Teamsters Pension Fund ("CST"), which provides that a partial or full
      termination of union employees may result in a withdrawal liability, due from
      PFMI to CST. The recorded liability is based upon a demand letter received
      from
      CST in August 2005 that provided for the payment of $22,000 per month over
      an
      eight year period. This obligation is recorded as a long-term liability, with
      a
      current portion of $158,000 that we expect to pay over the next
      year.

    PREFERRED
      STOCK ISSUANCE AND CONVERSION
    Series
      B Preferred Stock
    As
      partial consideration of the M&EC Acquisition, M&EC issued shares of its
      Series B Preferred Stock to stockholders of M&EC having a stated value of
      approximately $1,285,000. No other shares of M&EC's Series B Preferred Stock
      are outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and non-convertible,
      has a $1.00 liquidation preference per share and may be redeemed at the option
      of M&EC at any time after one year from the date of issuance for the per
      share price of $1.00. Following the first 12 months after the original issuance
      of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
      will be entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors
      of M&EC out of legally available funds, dividends at the rate of 5% per year
      per share applied to the amount of $1.00 per share, which shall be fully
      cumulative. We began accruing dividends for the Series B Preferred Stock in
      July
      2002, and have accrued a total of approximately $354,000 since July 2002, of
      which $64,000 was accrued in each of the years ended December 31, 2003 to
      2007.
    Series
      17 Preferred
    As
      of
      January 1, 2002, Capital Bank held 2,500 shares of the Company’s Series 17
      Preferred Stock, as agent for certain of its accredited investors. The Series
      17
      Preferred was convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time at a
      conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in
      the
      Certificate of Designations relating to the Series 17 Preferred. The Series
      17
      Preferred had a “stated value” of $1,000 per share. 
    On
      September 30, 2005, the Company received a notice from Capital Bank GRAWE
      Gruppe, AG, dated September 26, 2005, to convert the 2,500 issued and
      outstanding shares of the Company's Series 17 Class Q Convertible Preferred
      Stock (“Series 17”). Pursuant to the terms of the Series 17, the conversion
      resulted in the issuance of 1,666,667 shares of the Company's common stock,
      $.001 par value (“Common Stock”) to Capital Bank, as agent for certain of its
      investors. In addition to $125,000 of dividends paid in cash during 2005, the
      final dividend due on the Series 17 of approximately $30,000 for the period
      from
      July 1, 2005 through the conversion date was paid in cash in October 2005.
      For
      the year ended December 31, 2005, dividends on the Series 17 were $92,000.

Revolving
      Credit and Term Loan Agreement
    On
      December 22, 2000, we entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security
      Agreement (“Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking
      association (“PNC”) acting as agent (“Agent”) for lenders, and as issuing bank.
      The Agreement initially provided for a term loan (“Term Loan”) in the amount of
      $7,000,000, which requires principal repayments based upon a seven-year
      amortization, payable over five years, with monthly installments of $83,000
      and
      the remaining unpaid 
    84
        principal
      balance due on December 22, 2005. The
      Agreement also provided for a revolving line of credit (“Revolving Credit”) with
      a maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time of $18,000,000, as
      amended. The Revolving Credit advances are subject to limitations of an amount
      up to the sum of (a) up to 85% of Commercial Receivables aged 90 days or less
      from invoice date, (b) up to 85% of Commercial Broker Receivables aged up to
      120
      days from invoice date, (c) up to 85% of acceptable Government Agency
      Receivables aged up to 150 days from invoice date, and (d) up to 50% of
      acceptable unbilled amounts aged up to 60 days, less (e) reserves the Agent
      reasonably deems proper and necessary. Our revolving credit and term loan are
      collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding
      the
      assets of PFNWR.
    Effective
      March 25, 2005, the Company and PNC entered into an amended agreement
      (“Amendment No. 4”), which, among other things, extends the $25 million credit
      facility through May 31, 2008. The other terms of the credit facility remain
      principally unchanged, as a result of the amendment, with the exception of
      a 50
      basis point reduction in the variable interest rate on both loans. As of
      December 31, 2007, the excess availability under our Revolving Credit was
      $5,700,000 based on our eligible receivables.
    On
      June
      29, 2005, we entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Agreement.
      Pursuant to Amendment No. 5, PNC increased our Term Loan by approximately $4.4
      million, resulting in a Term Loan of $7 million. Under Amendment No. 5, the
      Term
      Loan continues to be payable in monthly installments of approximately $83,000,
      plus accrued interest, with the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued
      interest, payable in May 2008, upon termination of the amended Agreement. As
      part of Amendment No. 5, certain of our subsidiaries have modified or granted
      mortgages to PNC on their facilities, in addition to the collateral previously
      granted to PNC under the Agreement. All other terms and conditions to the
      Agreement, remain principally unchanged. We used the additional loan proceeds
      to
      prepay a $3.5 million unsecured promissory note, which was due and payable
      in
      August 2005, and the balance was used for general working capital. As
      a
      condition of Amendments No. 4 and 5, we expensed the $140,000 fee to
      PNC.
    Pursuant
      to the Agreement, as amended, the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate
      equal to the prime rate plus 1%, and the Revolving Credit at a floating rate
      equal to the prime rate plus ½%. We are subject to a prepayment fee of 1% until
      March 25, 2006, and ½% until March 25 if we elect to terminate the Agreement
      with PNC. 
    On
      June
      12, 2007, we entered into Amendment No. 6 with PNC. Pursuant to Amendment No.
      6,
      PNC provided Consent to the Company’s acquisition of Nuvotec (n/k/a Perma-Fix
      Northwest, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiary, PEcoS (n/k/a Perma-Fix
      Northwest Richland, Inc.), which was completed on June 13, 2007. PNC also
      provided consent for the Company to issue a corporate guaranty for a portion
      of
      the debt being assumed as result of the acquisition. In addition, the Amendment
      provided us with an additional $2,000,000 of availability via a sub-facility
      within our secured revolver loan. The availability from this sub-facility will
      be amortized at a rate of $83,333 per month.
    On
      July
      18, 2007, we entered into Amendment No. 7 with PNC, which extended the due
      date
      of the $25 million credit facility entered into on December 22, 2000 from May
      31, 2008 to August 29, 2008. Pursuant to the term of the Amendment, we may
      terminate the agreement upon 60 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full
      of the obligation. 
    On
      November 2, 2007, we entered into Amendment No. 8 with PNC, which extended
      the
      due date of the $25 million credit facility from August 29, 2008 to November
      27,
      2008. Pursuant to the term of the Amendment, we may terminate the agreement
      upon
      60 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the obligation.
    On
      December 18, 2007, we entered into Amendment No. 9 with PNC , which entitled
      the
      Company to pay off the collateralized property sold from the sales proceeds
      upon
      the sale of each of the Industrial Segment 
    85
        facility,
      with any remaining proceeds to be used to
      pay off the term note and the revolver in such order. As a condition of the
      amendment, we paid $10,000 fee to PNC.
    On
      March
      26, 2008, we entered into Amendment No. 10 with PNC, which extended the due
      date
      of the $25 million credit facility from November 27, 2008 to September 30,
      2009.
      Pursuant to the amendment, we may terminate the agreement upon 60 days’ prior
      written notice upon payment in full of the obligation. The amendment also waived
      the Company’s violation of the fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 31,
      2007, as discussed below. In addition, the amendment changed our present
      covenant to exclude certain allowable charges in determining our minimum fixed
      charge coverage ratio. As a condition to this amendment, we have agreed to
      pay
      PNC a fee of $25,000.
    Our
      credit facility with PNC contains financial covenants. A breach of any of these
      covenants, unless wavied by PNC, could result in a default under our credit
      facility triggering our lender to immediately require the repayment of all
      outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments to
      extend further credit. In the past, none of our covenants have been restrictive
      to our operations; however, in 2007, our fixed charge coverage ratio fell below
      the minimum requirement pursuant to the covenant. We have obtained a waiver
      from
      our lender for this non-compliance as of December 31, 2007. At this time
      however, we do not expect to be in compliance with the fixed charge coverage
      ratio as of the end of the first and second quarters of 2008 and, as a result,
      we were required under generally accepted accounting principles to reclassify
      the long term portion of this debt to current. Furthermore, we have a cross
      default provision on our 8.625% KeyBank National Association promissory note
      and
      have reclassified the long term portion of that debt to current as well. If
      we
      are unable to meet the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future, we believe
      that our lender will waive this non-compliance or will revise this covenant
      so
      that we are in compliance; however, there is no assurance that we will be able
      to secure a waiver or revision from our lender. If we fail to meet our fixed
      charge coverage ratio in the future and our lender does not waive the
      non-compliance or revise this convenant so that we are in compliance, our lender
      could accelerate the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. In
      the
      event that our lender accelerates the payment of our borrowing, we may not
      have
      sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our credit facility and other
      indebtedness. In addition to the waiver that we have obtained from our lender
      for our non-compliance of our fixed charge coverage ratio as of December 31,
      2007, our lender has amended our present covenant to exclude certain allowable
      charges in determining our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. This amendment
      may improve our ability to maintain compliance of the fixed charge coverage
      ratio in the future. 
    Promissory
      Notes
    In
      conjunction with our acquisition of M&EC, M&EC issued a promissory note
      for a principal amount of $3.7 million to Performance Development Corporation
      (“PDC”), dated June 25, 2001, for monies advanced to M&EC for certain
      services performed by PDC. The promissory note is payable over eight years
      on a
      semiannual basis on June 30 and December 31. The note is due on December 31,
      2008, with principal repayment of $400,000 to be made in June 2008 and the
      remaining $235,000 to be made by December 31, 2008. Interest is accrued at
      the
      applicable law rate (“Applicable Rate”) pursuant to the provisions of section
      6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (10% on December 31, 2007)
      and payable in one lump sum at the end of the loan period. On December 31,
      2007,
      the outstanding balance was $2,704,000 including accrued interest of
      approximately $2,069,000. PDC has directed M&EC to make all payments under
      the promissory note directly to the IRS to be applied to PDC's obligations
      under
      its installment agreement with the IRS.
    86
        In
      conjunction with our acquisition of Nuvotec (n/k/a Perma-Fix of Northwest,
      Inc.)
      and PEcoS (n/k/a Perma-Fix of Northwest Richland, Inc.), (collectively called
      “PFNWR”) which was completed on June 13, 2007, we entered into a promissory note
      for a principal amount of $4.0 million to KeyBank National Association, dated
      June 13, 2007, which represents debt assumed by us as result of the acquisition.
      The promissory note is payable over a two years period with monthly principal
      repayment of $160,000 starting July 2007 and $173,000 starting July 2008, along
      with accrued interest. Interest is accrued at prime rate plus 1.125%. On
      December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance was $3,039,000 and has
      been
      classified as current due to this note’s cross provisions addressed above. This
      note is collateralized by the assets of PFNWR as agreed to by PNC Bank and
      the
      Company.
    Installment
      Agreement
    Additionally,
      M&EC entered into an installment agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
      (“IRS”) for a principal amount of $923,000 effective June 25, 2001, for certain
      withholding taxes owed by M&EC. The installment agreement is payable over
      eight years on a semiannual basis on June 30 and December 31. The agreement
      is
      due on December 31, 2008, with principal repayments of approximately $100,000
      to
      be made in June 2008 and the remaining $53,000 to be made by December 31, 2008.
      Interest is accrued at the Applicable Rate, and is adjusted on a quarterly
      basis
      and payable in lump sum at the end of the installment period. On December 31,
      2007, the rate was 10%. On December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance was
      $652,000 including accrued interest of approximately $499,000.
    Additionally,
      in conjunction with our acquisition of PFNWR, we agreed to pay shareholders
      of
      Nuvotec that qualified as accredited investors pursuant to Rule 501 of
      Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, $2.5 million, with
      principal payable in equal installment of $833,333 on June 30, 2009, June 30,
      2010, and June 30, 2011. Interest is accrued on outstanding principal balance
      at
      8.25% starting in June 2007 and is payable on June 30, 2008, June 30, 2009,
      June
      30, 2010, and June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2007, we had accrued interest
      of
      approximately $110,000.
    Notwithstanding
      our $11,403,000 reclassification from long-term to current as described above
      and in Note 20, the aggregate approximate amount of the maturities of long-term
      debt maturing in future years as of December 31, 2007 for our continuing
      operations, are $3,889,000 in 2008; $12,328,000 in 2009; $899,000 in 2010;
      $890,000 in 2011, and $10,000 in 2012. Our reclassification to current results
      in the shifting of maturities from 2009 to 2008 by $11,403,000. Debt
      related to assets held for sale totals $820,000 at December 31, 2007 and is
      due
      as follows: $403,000 in 2008; $180,000 in 2009; $110,000 in 2010; $87,000 in
      2011; $39,000 in 2012; and $1,000 in 2013.

      ACCRUED
        CLOSURE COSTS
      We
        accrue
        for the estimated closure costs as determined pursuant to RCRA guidelines
        for
        all fixed-based regulated operating and discontinued facilities, even though
        we
        do not intend to or have present plans to close any of our existing facilities.
        The permits and/or licenses define the waste, which may be received at the
        facility in question, and the treatment or process used to handle and/or
        store
        the waste. In addition, the 
    88
        permits
      and/or licenses specify, in detail, the process and steps that a hazardous
      waste
      or mixed waste facility must follow should the facility be closed or cease
      operating as a hazardous waste or mixed waste facility. Closure procedures
      and
      cost calculations in connection with closure of a facility are based on
      guidelines developed by the federal and/or state regulatory authorities under
      RCRA and the other appropriate statutes or regulations promulgated pursuant
      to
      the statutes. The closure procedures are very specific to the waste accepted
      and
      processes used at each facility. We recognize the closure cost as a liability
      on
      the balance sheet. Since all our facilities are acquired facilities, the closure
      cost for each facility was recognized pursuant to a business combination and
      recorded as part of the purchase price allocation of fair value to identifiable
      assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 
    The
      closure calculation is increased annually for inflation based on RCRA
      guidelines, and for any approved changes or expansions to the facility, which
      may result in either an increase or decrease in the approved closure amount.
      An
      increase resulting from changes or expansions is recorded to expense over the
      term of such a renewed/expanded permit, generally five (5) years, and annual
      inflation factor increases are expensed during the current year. 
    During
      2007, the accrued long-term closure cost increased by $3,914,000 to a total
      of
      $8,739,000 as compared to the 2006 total of $4,825,000 for our continuing
      operations. This increase is principally a result of normal inflation factor
      increases as well as the initial establishment of closure cost accrual for
      our
      newly acquired PFNWR facility of $3,768,000. The accrued long-term closure
      cost
      increased by $22,000 for our discontinued operations to a total of $589,000
      in
      2007 as compared to the 2006 total of $567,000 as result of normal inflation
      factor increases. 
    NOTE
      11
    ENVIRONMENTAL
      LIABILITIES
    We
      have
      various remediation projects, which are currently in progress at certain of
      our
      permitted Industrial Segment facilities (discontinued operations) owned and
      operated by our subsidiaries. These remediation projects principally entail
      the
      removal/remediation of contaminated soil and, in some cases, the remediation
      of
      surrounding ground water. Five of the remedial clean-up projects in question
      were an issue for that facility for years prior to our acquisition of the
      facility and were recognized pursuant to a business combination and recorded
      as
      part of the purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities
      assumed. Three of the facilities, (PFD, PFM, and PFSG) are RCRA permitted
      facilities, and as a result, the remediation activities are closely reviewed
      and
      monitored by the applicable state regulators. Additionally, we recorded
      environmental liabilities upon acquisition of PFMD and PFP in March 2004, which
      are not RCRA permitted facilities. We have recognized our best estimate of
      such
      environmental liabilities upon the acquisition of these five facilities, as
      part
      of the acquisition cost. In the normal course of our business, the operations
      will on occasion create a minor environmental remediation issue, which will
      be
      evaluated and a corresponding remedial liability recorded. Minor environmental
      remediation liabilities were recognized and recorded for the PFTS facility
      during 2004. As further discussed in the discontinued operations footnote,
      we
      accrued environmental liabilities for PFMI, one of our two non-operating
      discontinued operations. See “Note 6” – “Discontinued Operations”.
    At
      December 31, 2007, we had accrued environmental liabilities totaling $2,873,000,
      which reflects a decrease of $405,000 from the December 31, 2006, balance of
      $3,278,000. The decrease is a result of payments on the remediation projects
      and
      decrease in our reserve due to our reevaluation of our remediation estimates
      and
      requirements. With the impending divestiture of our Industrial Segment, we
      anticipate the environmental liabilities for all the facilities noted below
      will
      be part of the divestiture with the exception of PFM, PFD, and PFMI, which
      will
      remain the financial obligations of the Company.

PFD
    In
      June
      1994, we acquired from Quadrex Corporation and/or a subsidiary of Quadrex
      Corporation (collectively, “Quadrex”) three treatment, storage and disposal
      companies, including the PFD facility. The former owners of PFD had merged
      EPS
      with PFD, which was subsequently sold to Quadrex. Through our acquisition of
      PFD
      in 1994 from Quadrex, we were indemnified by Quadrex for costs associated with
      remediating this facility leased by PFD (“Leased Property”) but never used or
      operated by PFD, which entails remediation of soil and/or groundwater
      restoration. The Leased Property used by EPS to operate its facility is separate
      and apart from the property on which PFD's facility is located. In conjunction
      with the subsequent bankruptcy filing by Quadrex, and our recording of purchase
      accounting for the acquisition of PFD, we recognized an environmental liability
      of approximately $1,200,000 for the remediation of this leased facility. This
      facility has pursued remedial activities for the past nine years and after
      evaluating various technologies, is seeking approval from appropriate
      governmental authority for the final remedial process. During 2007, we incurred
      remedial expenditures of $28,000, which reduced the reserve. We
      have $702,000 accrued for the closure as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate
      spending $285,000 in 2008 with the remainder over the next four years. The
      Company has retained this liability upon the sale of PFD in March
      2008.
    PFM
    Pursuant
      to our acquisition, effective December 31, 1993, of Perma-Fix of Memphis, Inc.
      (f/k/a American Resource Recovery, Inc.), we assumed certain liabilities
      relative to the removal of contaminated soil and to undergo groundwater
      remediation at the facility. Prior to our ownership of Perma-Fix of Memphis,
      Inc., the owners installed monitoring and treatment equipment to restore the
      groundwater to acceptable standards in accordance with federal, state and local
      authorities. The groundwater remediation at this facility has been ongoing
      since
      approximately 1990. With approval of a remediation approach in 2006, Perma-Fix
      of Memphis, Inc. began final remediation of this facility in 2007. In 2007,
      we
      incurred remediation expenditure of $323,000 and decreased our reserve by
      $2,000. We
      have $476,000 accrued for the closure as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate
      spending $225,000 in 2008 with the remainder over the next four years.
    PFSG
    During
      1999, we recognized an environmental accrual of $2,199,000, in conjunction
      with
      the acquisition of PFSG. This amount represented our estimate of the long-
      term
      costs to remove contaminated soil and to undergo groundwater remediation
      activities at the PFSG acquired facility in Valdosta, Georgia. PFSG have over
      the past four years, completed the initial valuation, and selected the remedial
      process to be utilized. Approval to proceed with final remediation has not
      yet
      been received from the appropriate agency. Remedial activities began in 2003.
      In
      2007, we increased our reserve by approximately $53,000, a result of
      reassessment on the cost of remediation, which was partially offset by
      expenditures of $15,000. We
      have $704,000 accrued for the closure, as of December 31, 2007, and we
      anticipate spending $250,000 in 2008 with the remainder over the next five
      years. 
    90
        PFTS
    In
      conjunction with an oil spill, we accrued approximately $69,000 to remediate
      the
      contaminated soil and ground water at this location. For the year ended December
      31, 2007, we did not incur any remediation expense or make any adjustments
      to
      our remediation reserve. We
      have $37,000 accrued for the closure as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate
      spending $7,000 in 2008 with the remainder over the next four years.
    PFMI
    As
      a
      result of the discontinued operations at the PFMI facility, we were required
      to
      complete certain closure and remediation activities pursuant to our RCRA permit,
      which were completed in January 2006. In September 2006, PFMI signed a
      Corrective Action Consent Order with the State of Michigan, requiring
      performance of studies and development and execution of plans related to the
      potential clean-up of soils in portions of the property. The level and cost
      of
      the clean-up and remediation are determined by state mandated requirements.
      Upon
      discontinuation of operations in 2004, we engaged our engineering firm, SYA,
      to
      perform an analysis and related estimate of the cost to complete the RCRA
      portion of the closure/clean-up costs and the potential long-term remediation
      costs. Based upon this analysis, we estimated the cost of this environmental
      closure and remediation liability to be $2,464,000. During 2006, based on
      state-mandated criteria, we re-evaluated our required activities to close and
      remediate the facility, and during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we began
      implementing the modified methodology to remediate the facility. As a result
      of
      the reevaluation and the change in methodology, we reduced the accrual by
      $1,182,000. We
      have spent approximately $710,000 for closure costs since September 30, 2004,
      of
      which $81,000 has been spent during 2007 and $74,000 was spent in 2006. In
      the
      4th
      quarter of 2007, we reduced our reserve by $9,000 as a result of our
      reassessment of the cost of remediation. We have $563,000 accrued for the
      closure, as of December 31, 2007, and we anticipate spending $401,000 in 2008
      with the remainder over the next five years. Based on the current status of
      the
      Corrective Action, we believe that the remaining reserve is adequate to cover
      the liability. 
    PFMD
    In
      conjunction with the acquisition of PFMD in March 2004, we accrued for long-term
      environmental liabilities of $391,000 as a best estimate of the cost to
      remediate the hazardous and/or non-hazardous contamination on certain properties
      owned by PFMD. This balance remained $391,000 at December 31, 2007. As
      previously discussed, we sold substantially all of the assets of the Maryland
      facility during the first part of 2008. In connection with this sale, the buyer
      agreed to assume all obligations and liabilities for environmental conditions
      at
      the Maryland facility except for fines, assessments, or judgments to
      governmental authorities prior to the closing of the transaction or third party
      tort claims existing prior to the closing of the sale. 
    We
      performed, or had performed, due diligence on each of these environmental
      projects, and also reviewed/utilized reports obtained from third party
      engineering firms who have been either engaged by the prior owners or by us
      to
      assist in our review. Based upon our expertise and the analysis performed,
      we
      have accrued our best estimate of the cost to complete the remedial projects.
      No
      insurance or third party recovery was taken into account in determining our
      cost
      estimates or reserve, nor do our cost estimates or reserves reflect any discount
      for present value purposes. We do not believe that any adverse changes to our
      estimates would be material to us. The circumstances that could affect the
      outcome range from new technologies, that are being developed every day that
      reduce our overall costs, to increased contamination levels that could arise
      as
      we complete remediation which could increase our costs, neither of which we
      anticipate at this time.

Effective
      January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, Accounting
      for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
      FIN No.
      48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
      enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
      for Income Taxes.
      FIN No.
      48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
      financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
      expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance
      on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
      periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not result
      in
      the identification of material uncertain tax positions through December
      31, 2007.
    92
        The
      Company has provided a valuation allowance on substantially all of its deferred
      tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the realizability of these
      net
      deferred tax assets and will reverse some or all of the valuation allowance
      as
      appropriate. In making this determination, the Company considers a number of
      factors including whether there is a historical pattern of consistent and
      significant profitability in combination with the Company’s assessment of
      forecasted profitability in the future periods. Such patterns and forecasts
      allow us to determine whether our most significant deferred tax assets such
      as
      net operating losses will more likely than not be realizable in future years,
      in
      whole or in part. These deferred tax assets in particular will require us to
      generate significant taxable income in the applicable jurisdictions in future
      years in order to recognize their economic benefits. At this point, the Company
      does not believe that it has enough positive evidence to conclude that some
      or
      all of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets should be reversed.
      However, facts and circumstances could change in future years and at such point
      the Company may reverse the allowance as appropriate. Our valuation allowance
      increased (decreased) by approximately$2,414,000, $(1,761,000), and $(1,181,000)
      for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, which
      represents the effect of changes in the temporary differences and net operating
      losses (NOLs), as amended. Included in deferred tax assets is an impairment
      of
      assets for $10,015,000, of which approximately $7,162,000 is in conjunction
      with
      our acquisition of DSSI in August 2000 and approximately $2,853,000 is in
      conjunction with impairment of assets related to our discontinued operations.
      This deferred tax asset is a result of an impairment charge related to fixed
      assets and goodwill of approximately $25,155,000 recorded by DSSI in 1997 prior
      to our acquisition of DSSI. We have recorded approximately $7,855,000 of asset
      impairment related to the discontinued operations of our Industrial Segment,
      of
      which $6,367,000 and $1,488,000 was recorded in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
      This write-off will not be deductible for tax purposes until the assets are
      disposed. 
    We
      have
      estimated net operating loss carryforwards (NOL's) for federal income tax
      purposes of approximately $22,719,000 at December 31, 2007 for continuing
      operations. These net operating losses can be carried forward and applied
      against future taxable income, if any, and expire in the years 2008 through
      2024. However, as a result of various stock offerings and certain acquisitions,
      the use of these NOLs will be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of
      the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. According to Section 382, we have
      approximately $11.8 million in total NOLs available to offset consolidated
      taxable income for the tax year ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, NOLs
      may
      be further limited under the provisions of Treasury Regulation 1.1502-21
      regarding Separate Return Limitation Years.

      Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 29, 2003, our stockholders approved
      the adoption of the Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. 2003 Employee Stock
      Purchase Plan. The plan provides our eligible employees an opportunity to become
      stockholders and purchase our Common Stock through payroll deductions. The
      maximum number of shares issuable under this plan is 1,500,000. The Plan
      authorized the purchase of shares two times per year, at an exercise price
      per
      share of 85% of the market price of our Common Stock on the offering date of
      the
      period or on the exercise date of the period, whichever is lower. The first

      15, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated the 2003 Employee
      Stock Purchase Plan
      due to
      lack of employee participation and the cost of managing the plan. The Plan
      allows the Board of Directors to terminate the Plan at anytime without prior
      notice to the participants and without liability to the participants. A total
      of
      96,380 shares had been purchased under the Plan prior to the Plan’s termination,
      of which 65,257 shares of our Common Stock were issued in 2005 and 31,123 shares
      of Common Stock were issued in 2006. Upon termination of the Plan, the balance,
      if any, then standing to the credit of each participant in the participant

      which 500,000 shares of our Common Stock is reserved for issuance, pursuant
      to
      which officers, directors and key employees are eligible to receive incentive
      or
      Non-qualified stock options. Incentive awards consist of stock options,
      restricted stock awards, deferred stock awards, stock appreciation rights and
      other stock-based awards. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are
      exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant at an
      exercise price which is not less than the market price of the Common Stock
      on
      the date of grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted
      under the Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the then-outstanding
      shares of Common Stock may not exceed five years and the exercise price may
      not
      be less than 110% of the market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
      All grants of options under the Performance Equity Plan have been made at an
      exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Stock at the date of
      grant. On December 16, 2001, the Plan expired. No new options will be issued
      under the Plan, but the options issued under the Plan prior to the expiration
      date will remain in effect until their respective maturity dates.
    Effective
      September 13, 1993, we adopted a Non-qualified Stock Option Plan pursuant to
      which officers and key employees can receive long-term performance-based equity
      interests in the Company. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to
      which stock options may be granted in any year shall not exceed twelve percent
      (12%) of the number of common shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding
      year, less the number of shares covered by the outstanding stock options issued
      under our 1991 Performance Equity Plan as of December 31 of such preceding
      year.
      The option grants under the plan are exercisable for a period of up to ten
      years
      from the date of grant at an exercise price, which is not less than the market
      price of the Common Stock at date of grant. On September 13, 2003, the plan
      expired. No new options will be issued under this plan, but the options issued
      under the Plan prior to the expiration date will remain in effect until their
      respective maturity dates.
    94
        Effective
      December 12, 1993, we adopted the 1992 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan,
      pursuant to which options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common
      Stock had been authorized. This plan provides for the grant of options to
      purchase up to 5,000 shares of Common Stock for each of our outside directors
      upon initial election and each re-election. The plan also provides for the
      grant
      of additional options to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the
      foregoing terms to each outside director upon initial election to the Board.
      The
      options have an exercise price equal to the closing trading price, or, if not
      available, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
      During our annual meeting held on December 12, 1994, the stockholders approved
      the Second Amendment to our 1992 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan which,
      among other things, (i) increased from 100,000 to 250,000 the number of shares
      reserved for issuance under the plan, and (ii) provides for automatic issuance
      to each of our directors, who is not our employee, a certain number of shares
      of
      Common Stock in lieu of 65% of the cash payment of the fee payable to each
      director for his services as director. The Third Amendment to the Outside
      Directors Plan, as approved at the December 1996 Annual Meeting, provided that
      each eligible director shall receive, at such eligible director's option, either
      65% or 100% of the fee payable to such director for services rendered to us
      as a
      member of the Board in Common Stock. In either case, the number of shares of
      our
      Common Stock issuable to the eligible director shall be determined by valuing
      our Common Stock at 75% of its fair market value as defined by the Outside
      Directors Plan. The Fourth Amendment to the Outside Directors Plan, was approved
      at the May 1998 Annual Meeting and increased the number of authorized shares
      from 250,000 to 500,000 reserved for issuance under the plan.
    Effective
      July 29, 2003, we adopted the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan, which was
      approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on such
      date.
      A maximum of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are authorized for issuance
      under this plan. The plan provides for the grant of an option to purchase up
      to
      30,000 shares of Common Stock for each outside director upon initial election
      to
      the Board of Directors, and the grant of an option to purchase up to 12,000
      shares of Common Stock upon each reelection. The options granted generally
      have
      vesting period of six months from the date of grant, with exercise price equal
      to the closing trade price on the date prior to grant date. The plan also
      provides for the issuance to each outside director a number of shares of Common
      Stock in lieu of 65% or 100% of the fee payable to the eligible director for
      services rendered as a member of the Board of Directors. The number of shares
      issued is determined at 75% of the market value as defined in the
      plan.
    Effective
      July 28, 2004, we adopted the 2004 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by
      our
      stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on such date. The plan
      provides for the grants of options to selected officers and employees, including
      any employee who is also a member of the Board of Director of the Company.
      A
      maximum of 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are authorized for issuance
      under this plan in the form of either incentive or non-qualified stock options.
      The option grants under the plan are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years
      from the date of grant at an exercise price of not less than market price of
      the
      Common Stock at grant date.
    Effective
      on January 1, 2006, we began accounting for employee and director stock options
      pursuant to SFAS 123R, which
      requires
      all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
      options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
      Pursuant to our adoption of SFAS 123R we
      began
      recognizing compensation expense for all unvested stock options. Prior to
      adopting SFAS 123R we applied APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for options issued to
      employees and directors. Accordingly, prior to 2006, no compensation cost was
      recognized for options granted to employees and directors at exercise prices,
      which equaled or exceeded the market price of our Common Stock at the date
      of
      grant. Pursuant to the standards in SFAS 123R and our belief that it is in
      the
      best interest of our stockholders to reduce future compensation expense, in
      July
      2005 we accelerated the vesting of all unvested employee stock options
      outstanding at that date. As of December 31, 2007, we have 659,334 unvested
      options outstanding. See “Note 2” for further discussion on SFAS 123R.
    95
        During
      2007, we issued 234,927 shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of 237,225
      employee stock options, at exercise prices from $1.25 to $2.19 per share. An
      optionee surrendered 2,298 shares of personally held Common Stock of the Company
      as payment for the exercise of the 4,000 options. Total proceeds received during
      2007 for option exercises totaled approximately $418,000. We issued 433,500
      shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of 433,500 employee options in 2006,
      resulting in total proceeds of approximately $575,000. During 2005, we issued
      55,800 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of 55,800 employee options,
      resulting in total proceeds of approximately $70,000.
    96
        Summary
      of the status of options under the plans as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and
      2005

Shares
      Reserved
    At
      December 31, 2007, we have reserved approximately 2.6 million shares of Common
      Stock for future issuance under all of the above option arrangements.
    Warrants
    We
      have
      issued various Warrants pursuant to acquisitions, private placements, debt
      and
      debt conversion and to facilitate certain financing arrangements. The Warrants
      principally are for a term of three to five years and entitle the holder to
      purchase one share of Common Stock for each warrant at the stated exercise
      price.
    We
      issued
      no warrants in 2005, 2006, and 2007. During 2007, we issued 563,633 shares
      of
      Common Stock upon exercise of 1,281,731 warrants on a cashless basis, resulting
      in the surrendering of the remaining 718,098 warrants. In addition, 1,775,638
      warrants expired in 2007. We received $54,000 from repayment of stock
      subscription resulting from exercise of warrants to purchase 60,000 shares
      of
      our Common Stock on loan by the Company at an arms length basis in 2006. As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we have no outstanding warrants for the purchase of our
      Common Stock. During 2006, a total of 6,673,290 shares of Common Stock were
      issued upon the exercise of 6,904,149 warrants, both on a cash and cashless
      basis and on a loan by the Company on an arms length basis. We received proceeds
      of $11,460,000 for the exercises, and 306,262 warrants expired. During 2005,
      a
      total of 2,497,512 warrants were exercised on a cash and cashless basis
      resulting in issuance of 1,197,766 shares of Common Stock for proceeds in the
      amount of $937,000 and 25,293 warrants expired. 
    Put
      Options
    In
      2001, we entered into an Option Agreement with AMI and BEC,
      dated July 31, 2001 (the "Option Agreement").  Pursuant to
      the Option Agreement, we granted each purchaser an irrevocable option
      requiring us to purchase any of the Warrants or the shares of Common
      Stock issuable under the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") then held by the
      purchaser (the "Put Option"). The Put Option could be exercised at any time
      commencing July 31, 2004, and ending July 31, 2008. In addition, each
      purchaser granted to us an irrevocable option to purchase all the
      Warrants or the Warrant Shares then held by the purchaser (the
      "Call Option").  The Call Option could be exercised at any
      time commencing July 31, 2005, and ending July 31, 2008. The purchase price
      under the Put Option and the Call Option was based on the quotient obtained
      by
      dividing (a) the sum of
      six times our consolidated EBITDA for the period of
      the 12 most recent consecutive months minus Net Debt plus the
      Warrant Proceeds by (b) our Diluted Shares (as the terms EBITDA, Net Debt,
      Warrant Proceeds, and Diluted Shares are defined in the Option Agreement).
      On November 8, 2007, BEC exercised the 569,658 Warrants on a cashless basis,
      resulting in issuance of 273,321 
    99
        shares of Common Stock and on December 31, 2007, AMI
        exercised
        the 712,073 Warrants on a cashless basis, resulting in issuance of 290,312
        shares of Common Stock, with the remaining warrants forfeited. At December
        31,
        2006 and for the life of the Put Option to the warrant exercise date, this
        instrument has been measured regularly to have no value and thus no liability
        has been recorded. As result of the exercises by BEC and AMI, the Company
        has no
        further obligations under the “Option Agreement”.

    COMMITMENTS
      AND CONTINGENCIES
    Hazardous
      Waste
    In
      connection with our waste management services, we handle both hazardous and
      non-hazardous waste, which we transport to our own, or other facilities for
      destruction or disposal. As a result of disposing of hazardous substances,
      in
      the event any cleanup is required, we could be a potentially responsible party
      for the costs of the cleanup notwithstanding any absence of fault on our
      part.
    Perma-Fix
      of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”)
    A
      subsidiary within our Industrial Segment, PFD was defending a lawsuit styled
      Barbara
      Fisher v. Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc.,
      in the
      United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio (the “Fisher Lawsuit”).
      This citizen’s suit was brought under the Clean Air Act alleging, among other
      things, violations by PFD of state and federal clean air statutes connected
      with
      the operation of PFD’s facility located in Dayton, Ohio. As further previously
      disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Environmental
      Protection Agency, intervened in the Fisher Lawsuit alleging, among other
      things, substantially similar violations alleged in the Fisher Lawsuit (the
      “Government’s Lawsuit”).
    During
      December 2007, PFD and the federal government entered into a Consent Decree
      formalizing settlement of the government’s portion of the above described
      lawsuit, which Consent Decree was approved by the federal court during the
      first
      quarter of 2008. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the settlement with the federal
      government resolved the government’s claims against PFD and requires PFD
      to:
    | · | pay
                a civil penalty of $360,000;  | 
| · | complete
                three supplemental environmental projects costing not less than $562,000
                to achieve air emission controls that go above and beyond those required
                by any current environmental
                regulations. | 
| · | implement
                a variety of state and federal air permit pollution control measures;
                and | 
| · | take
                a variety of voluntary steps to reduce the potential for emissions
                of air
                pollutants. | 
During
      December 2007, PFD and Plaintiff, Fisher, entered into a Settlement Agreement
      formalizing settlement of the Plaintiff’s claims in the above lawsuit. The
      settlement with Plaintiff Fisher resolved the Plaintiff’s claims against PFD
      and, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement,
      requires PFD to pay a total of $1,325,000. Our insurer has agreed to contribute
      $662,500 toward the settlement cost of the citizen’s suit portion of the
      litigation, which we received on March 13, 2008. Based on discussion with our
      insurer, our insurer will not pay any portion of the settlement with the federal
      government in the Government Lawsuit.
    In
      connection with PFD’s sale of substantially all of its assets during March,
      2008, as discussed “Subsequent Event, the buyer has agreed to assume certain of
      PFD’s obligations under the Consent Decree and Settlement Agreement, including,
      without limitation, PFD’s obligation to implement supplemental environmental
      projects costing not less than $562,000, implement a variety of state and
      federal air permit control measures and reduce the potential for emissions
      of
      air pollutants.
    100
        As
      of the
      December 31, 2007, we have recorded a total of $1,625,000 of reserves in our
      discontinued operations for settlement by PFD of the Fisher Lawsuit and the
      Government Lawsuit.
    As
      previously reported, on April 12, 2007 our insurer agreed to reimburse PFD
      for
      reasonable defense costs of litigation incurred prior to our insurer’s
      assumption of the defense, but this agreement to defend and indemnify PFD was
      subject to the our insurer’s reservation of its rights to deny indemnity
      pursuant to various policy provisions and exclusions, including, without
      limitation, payment of any civil penalties and fines, as well as our insurer’s
      right to recoup any defense cost it has advanced if our insurer later determines
      that its policy provides no coverage. When, our
      insurer withdrew
      its prior coverage denial and agreed to defend and indemnify PFD in the above
      described lawsuits, subject to certain reservation of rights, we had incurred
      more than $2.5
      million in costs in vigorously defending against the Fisher and the Government
      Lawsuits. To date, our insurer has reimbursed PFD approximately $2.5
      million for legal defense fees and disbursements, which we recorded as a
      recovery within our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2007.
      Partial reimbursement from our insurer of $750,000 was received on July 11,
      2007. A second reimbursement of approximately $1.75 million was received on
      August 17, 2007. Our insurer has advised us that they will reimburse us for
      approximately another $82,000 in legal fees and disbursements, which we recorded
      as a recovery in our discontinued operations. The reimbursement is subject
      to
      our insurer’s reservation of rights as noted above. On February 12, 2008, we
      received reimbursement of approximately $24,000 from AIG. We anticipate
      receiving the remaining reimbursement by the end of the second quarter of 2008.
      
    Perma-Fix
      of Orlando, Inc. (“PFO”)
    In
      2007,
      PFO was named as a defendant in four cases related to a series of toxic tort
      cases, the “Brottem Litigation” that are pending in the Circuit Court of
      Seminole County, Florida. All of the cases involve allegations of toxic chemical
      exposure at a former telecommunications manufacturing facility located in Lake
      Mary, Florida, known generally as the “Rinehart Road Plant”. PFO is presently a
      defendant, together with numerous other defendants, in the following four cases:
      Brottem
      v. Siemens, et al.; Canada v. Siemens et al.; Bennett v. Siemens et
      al.
      and the
      recently filed Culbreath
      v. Siemens et al.
      All of
      the cases seek unspecified money damages for alleged personal injuries or
      wrongful death. With the exception of PFO, the named defendants are all present
      or former owners of the subject property, including several prominent
      manufacturers that operated the Rinehart Road Plant. The allegations in all
      of
      the cases are essentially identical. 
    The
      basic
      allegations are that PFO provided “industrial waste management services” to the
      Defendants and that PFO negligently “failed to prevent” the discharge of toxic
      chemicals or negligently “failed to warn” the plaintiffs about the dangers
      presented by the improper handling and disposal of chemicals at the facility.
      The complaints make no attempt to specify the time and manner of the alleged
      exposures in connection with PFO’s “industrial waste management services.” PFO
      has moved to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action.
    At
      this
      time, the cases involve a large number of claims involving personal injuries.
      At
      this very early stage, it is not possible to accurately assess PFO’s potential
      liability. Our insurer has agreed to defend and indemnify us in these lawsuits,
      excluding our deductible of $250,000, subject to a reservation of rights to
      deny
      indemnity pursuant to various provisions and exclusions under our policy.
    Perma-Fix
      of Dayton (“PFD”), Perma-Fix of Florida (“PFF”), Perma-Fix of Orlando (“PFO”),
      Perma-Fix of South Georgia (“PFSG”), and Perma-Fix of Memphis
      (“PFM”)
    In
      May
      2007, the above facilities were named Partially Responsible Parties (“PRPs”) at
      the Marine Shale Superfund site in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana (“Site”).
      Information provided by the EPA indicates that, from 1985 through 1996, the
      Perma-Fix facilities above were responsible for shipping 2.8% of the total
      waste
      volume received by Marine Shale. Subject to finalization of this estimate by
      the
      PRP group, PFF, PFO and PFD could be considered de-minimus at .06%, .07% and
      .28% respectively. PFSG and PFM would be 
    101
        major
      at 1.12% and 1.27% respectively. However, at
      this time the contributions of all facilities are consolidated.
    As
      of the
      date of this report, Louisiana DEQ (“LDEQ”) has collected approximately $8.4
      million for the remediation of the site and is proceeding with the remediation
      of the site. The EPA’s unofficial estimate to remediate the site is between $9
      and $12 million; however, based on preliminary outside consulting work hired
      by
      the PRP group, which we are a party to, the remediation costs can be below
      EPA’s
      estimation. As part of the PRP Group, we have paid an initial assessment of
      $10,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was allocated among the facilities.
      As of the date of this report, we cannot accurately access our liability. The
      Company records its environmental liabilities when they are probable of payment
      and can be estimated within a reasonable range. Since this contingency currently
      does not meet this criteria, a liability has not been established. 
    In
      addition to the above matters and in the normal course of conducting our
      business, we are involved in various other litigations. We are not a party
      to
      any litigation or governmental proceeding which our management believes could
      result in any judgments or fines against us that would have a material adverse
      affect on our financial position, liquidity or results of future
      operations.
    Pension
      Liability
    We
      had a
      pension withdrawal liability of $1,287,000 at December 31, 2007, based upon
      a
      withdrawal letter received from Central States Teamsters Pension Fund (“CST”),
      resulting from the termination of the union employees at PFMI and a subsequent
      actuarial study performed. In August 2005, we received a demand letter from
      CST,
      amending the liability to $1,629,000, and provided for the payment of $22,000
      per month over an eight year period.
    Operating
      Leases
    We
      lease
      certain facilities and equipment under operating leases. Future minimum rental
      payments as of December 31, 2007, required under these leases for our continuing
      operations are $677,000 in 2008, $575,000 in 2009, $486,000 in 2010, $357,000
      in
      2011, and $150,000 in years after 2012. Total future minimum payment as of
      December 31, 2007 for our discontinued operations is $2,006,000 and is due
      as
      follows: $544,000 in 2008; $455,000 in 2009; $387,000 in 2010; $372,000 in
      2011; $200,000 in 2012; $41,000 in 2013; and $7,000 in 2014. 
    Net
      rent
      expense was $1,017,000, $893,000, and $940,000 for 2007, 2006, and 2005,
      respectively for our continuing operations. These amounts include payments
      on
      operating leases of approximately $807,000, $796,000, and $826,000 for 2007,
      2006, and 2005, respectively. The remaining rent expense is for non-contractual
      monthly and daily rentals of specific use vehicles, machinery and
      equipment.
    Net
      rent
      expense was $1,581,000, $1,649,000, and $2,598,000 for 2007, 2006, and 2005,
      respectively for our discontinued operations. These amounts include payments
      on
      operating leases of approximately $744,000, $953,000, and $1,338,000,
      respectively. The remaining rent expense is for non-contractual monthly and

    PROFIT
      SHARING PLAN
    We
      adopted the Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k)
      Plan”) in 1992, which is intended to comply under Section 401 of the Internal
      Revenue Code and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
      Act
      of 1974. All full-time employees who have attained the age of 18 are eligible
      to
      participate in the 401(k) Plan. Participating employees may make annual pretax
      contributions to their accounts up to 100% of their compensation, up to a
      maximum amount as limited by law. We, at our discretion, may make matching
      contributions based on the employee's elective contributions. Company
      contributions vest over a period of five years. We currently match up to 25%
      of
      our employees' contributions. We contributed $418,000, $378,000, and $347,000
      in
      matching funds during 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

    RELATED
      PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    Lawrence
      Properties LLC
    During
      February 2006, our Board of Directors approved and we entered into a lease
      agreement, whereby we lease property from Lawrence Properties LLC, a company
      jointly owned by the president of Schreiber, Yonley and Associates, Robert
      Schreiber, Jr. and his spouse. Mr. Schreiber is a member of our executive
      management team. The lease is for a term of five years from June 1, 2006. We
      pay
      monthly rent expense of $10,000, which we believe is lower than costs charged
      by
      unrelated third party landlords. Additional rent will be assessed for any
      increases over the initial lease commencement year for property taxes or
      assessments and property and casualty insurance premiums.
    Mr.
      Joe Reeder
    The
      Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors unanimously recommended to
      the
      full Board of Directors, and, based on such recommendation, on October 31,
      2007,
      our Board of Directors, with Mr. Reeder abstaining, approved that Mr. Joe R.
      Reeder, a member of our Board of Directors be paid an additional director’s fee
      of $160,000 as compensation for his services as the board’s representative in
      negotiating the agreement in principle to settle the claims brought by the
      United States, on behalf of the EPA, against PFD, our Dayton, Ohio, subsidiary,
      and resolution of certain other matters relating to that lawsuit (See Part
      I,
      Item 3 - “Legal Proceedings”). As a fee payable to Mr. Reeder for his services
      as a member of our Board of Directors, payment of the fee is governed by the
      terms of our 2003 Outsider Directors Stock Plan. In accordance with the terms
      of
      the 2003 Directors Plan, fees payable to a non-employee director may be paid,
      at
      the election of the director, with either 65% or 100% in shares of our common
      stock, with any balance payable in cash. The number of shares to be issued
      under
      the 2003 Directors Plan in lieu of cash fees is determined by dividing the
      amount of the fee by 75% of the closing sales price of our common stock on
      the
      business day immediately preceding the date that the fee is due. Mr. Reeder
      elected to receive 100% of such fee in shares of our Common Stock in lieu of
      cash. As fees payable to Mr. Reeder on October 31, 2007, Mr. Reeder was issued
      73,818 shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash (based on 75% of the closing
      price
      of $2.89/share on October 30, 2007). The fair value of the stock on October
      30,
      2007 is $213,334, which we expensed as director’s fees in the 4th
      quarter
      of 2007. The shares were issued to Mr. Reeder on December 31, 2007.
    103
        Mr.
      David Centofanti
    Mr.
      David
      Centofanti serves as our Director of Information Services. For such services,
      he
      received total compensation in 2007 of approximately $154,000. Mr. David
      Centofanti is the son of our chief executive officer and chairman of our board,
      Dr. Louis F. Centofanti. We believe the compensation received by Mr. Centofanti
      for his technical expertise which he provides to the Company is competitive
      and
      comparable to compensation we would have to pay to an unaffiliated third party
      with the same technical expertise. 
    Mr.
      Robert L. Ferguson
    On
      June
      13, 2007, we acquired Nuvotec and Nuvotec's wholly owned subsidiary, PEcoS,
      pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, between us, Nuvotec, PEcoS,
      and
      our wholly owned subsidiary. At the time of the acquisition, Robert L. Ferguson
      was the chairman, chief executive officer, and individually or through entities
      controlled by him, the owner of approximately 21.29% of Nuvotec’s outstanding
      common stock. 
    As
      consideration for the merger, we agreed to pay the Nuvotec’s shareholders the
      sum of approximately $11.2 million, payable as follows:
    | (a) | $2.3
                million in cash at closing of the
                merger; | 
| (b) | an
                earn-out amount not to exceed $4.4 million over a four year period
                ("Earn-Out Amount"), with the first $1.0 million of the Earn-Out
                Amount to
                be placed in an escrow account to satisfy certain indemnification
                obligations under the Merger Agreement of Nuvotec, PEcoS, and the
                shareholders of Nuvotec (including Mr. Ferguson) to us that are identified
                by us within two years following the merger. The earn-out amount,
                if and
                when paid, will increase goodwill;
                and | 
| (c) | payable
                only to the shareholders of Nuvotec that qualified as accredited
                investors
                pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
                Act
                of 1933, as amended (which includes Mr.
                Ferguson): | 
| · | $2.5
                million, payable over a four year period, unsecured and nonnegotiable
                and
                bearing an annual rate of interest of 8.25%, with (i) accrued interest
                only payable on June 30, 2008, (ii) $833,333.33, plus accrued and
                unpaid
                interest, payable on June 30, 2009, (iii) $833,333.33, plus accrued
                and
                unpaid interest, payable on June 30, 2010, and (iv) the remaining
                unpaid
                principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, payable on June
                30,
                2011 (collectively, the "Installment Payments"). The Installment
                Payments
                may be prepaid at any time by Perma-Fix without penalty;
                and | 
| · | 709,207
                shares of our common stock, with such number of shares determined
                by
                dividing $2.0 million by 95% of average of the closing price of the
                common
                stock as quoted on the Nasdaq during the 20 trading days period ending
                five business days prior to the closing of the merger.
                 | 
At
      the
      closing of the merger, the Nuvotec debt was approximately $9.4 million, of
      which
      approximately $3.7 million was for PEcoS. Approximately $8.9 million of the
      $9.4
      million was owed to KeyBank National Association. We paid approximately $5.4
      million of the total debt, with payment of approximately $4.9 million on the
      KeyBank debt. Of the amount of remaining debt, $4.0 million is owed by PESI
      Northwest under a credit facility with KeyBank. The KeyBank credit facility
      and
      a related $1.75 million line of credit with KeyBank is guaranteed by Mr.
      Ferguson [and William Lampson, who prior to the merger was the vice-chairman
      and
      a vice-president of Nuvotec and PEcoS]. 
    We
      paid Mr. Ferguson and entities controlled by him,
      as accredited stockholders in Nuvotec, a total of $224,560 cash and issued
      to
      him and the entities controlled by him a total of 192,783 shares of our common
      stock in consideration for the merger pursuant to the terms described above.
      The
      fair market value of the
    104
         192,783
      shares of common stock issued to Mr. Ferguson was $584,133, based on the closing
      price of our common stock on July 23, 2007, the date of issuance. Mr. Ferguson
      and the entities controlled by him will also be entitled to receive 21.29%
      of
      the total Earn-Out Amount and 27.18% of the Installment Payments payable under
      the terms of the Merger Agreement, based on the proportionate share of Nuvotec’s
      common stock owned prior to the merger by Mr. Ferguson and entities controlled
      by him.
    In
      connection with the merger, we agreed to increase the number of our directors
      from seven to eight and to take reasonable action to nominate and recommend
      Mr.
      Ferguson for election as a member of our Board of Directors, if such nomination
      would not breach any fiduciary duties or legal requirements of our Board. The
      Board of Directors subsequently determined that nominating Mr. Ferguson for
      election as a member of our Board would not breach the Board's fiduciary duties
      or legal requirements. Accordingly, our Corporate Governance and Nominating
      Committee considered Mr. Ferguson’s qualifications and nominated him for
      election to the Board. Our shareholders elected Mr. Ferguson as a director
      at
      our 2007 annual meeting held on August 2, 2007.

    OPERATING
      SEGMENTS
    Pursuant
      to FAS 131, we define an operating segment as a business activity:
    | · | from
                which we may earn revenue and incur expenses; | |
| · | whose
                operating results are regularly reviewed by the segment president
                to make
                decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
                its
                performance; and | |
| · | For
                which discrete financial information is
                available. | 
We
      currently have two operating segments, which are defined as each business line
      that we operate. This however, excludes corporate headquarters, which does
      not
      generate revenue, and our discontinued operations, which include our facilities
      in our Industrial Segment. (See “Note 6 - Discontinued Operations” to “Notes to
      Consolidated Financial Statements”.
    Our
      operating segments are defined as follows:

    The
      Consulting Engineering Services segment provides environmental engineering
      and
      regulatory compliance services through Schreiber, Yonley & Associates, Inc.
      which includes oversight management of environmental restoration projects,
      air
      and soil sampling and compliance and training activities to industrial and
      government customers, as well as, engineering and compliance support needed
      by
      our other segments.
    Our
      discontinued operations encompass our facilities in our Industrial Waste
      Management Services Segment which provides on-and-off site treatment, storage,
      processing and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, and
      wastewater through our six facilities; Perma-Fix Treatment Services, Inc.,
      Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc., Perma-Fix of Ft. Lauderdale, Inc., Perma-Fix of
      Orlando, Inc., Perma-Fix of South Georgia, Inc., and Perma-Fix of Maryland,

    DIVESTITURES
    Perma-Fix
      of Maryland,Inc.
    On
      January 8, 2008, we sold substantially all of the assets of PFMD, pursuant
      to
      the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated January 8, 2008. In
      consideration for such assets, the buyer paid us $3,825,000 in cash at the
      closing and assumed certain liabilities of PFMD. The cash consideration is
      subject to certain working capital adjustments during the first half of 2008.
      As
      of the date of this report, we have sold approximately $3,100,000 of PFMD’s
      assets, which excludes approximately $12,000 in cash in the local checking
      account and restricted cash. The buyer assumed liabilities in the amount of
      approximately $810,000. In the first quarter of 2008, we expect to report a
      gain on sale of approximately $1,791,000. 
    Perma-Fix
      of Dayton, Inc.
    On
      March
      14, 2008, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of PFD,
      pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 14, 2008,
      for
      approximately $2,143,000 in cash, subject to certain working capital adjustments
      after the closing, plus the assumption by the buyer of certain of PFD’s
      liabilities and obligations. In connection with PFD’s sale of substantially all
      of its assets, the buyer has agreed to assume certain of PFD’s obligations under
      the Consent Decree and Settlement Agreement, including, without limitation,
      PFD’s obligation to implement supplemental environmental projects costing not
      less than $562,000, implement a variety of state and federal air permit control
      measures and reduce potential for emissions of air pollutants. In the first
      quarter of 2008, we expect to report a gain on sale of approximately
      $480,000.
    NOTE 20
GOING
      CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
    Our
      working capital position at December 31, 2007 was a negative $17,154,000, which
      includes the working capital of our discontinued operations, as compared to
      our
      positive working capital position of $12,810,000 at December 31, 2006. Our
      working capital in 2007 was negatively impacted by the reclassification of
      approximately $11,403,000 of debt owed to certain of our lenders from long
      term
      to current. As of December 31, 2007, the fixed charge coverage ratio contained
      in our PNC loan agreement fell below the minimum requirement. We obtained a
      waiver from our lender for this non-compliance as of December 31, 2007. At
      this
      time however, we do not expect to be in compliance with the fixed charge
      coverage ratio as of the end of the first and second quarters of 2008 and,
      as a
      result, we are required under generally accepted accounting principles to
      reclassify the long term portion of this debt to current due to this likelihood
      of future default. Furthermore, we have a cross default provision on our 8.625%
      promissory note with a separate bank and have reclassified the long term portion
      of that debt to current as well. 
    If
      we are
      unable to meet the fixed charge coverage ratio in the future, we believe that
      our lender will waive this non-compliance or will revise this covenant so that
      we are in compliance; however, there is no assurance of this. If we fail to
      meet
      our fixed charge coverage ratio in the future and our lender does not waive
      the
      non-compliance or revise this covenant so that we are in compliance, our lender
      could accelerate the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. In
      the
      event that our lender accelerates the payment of our borrowings, we may not
      have
      sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our credit facilities and other
      indebtedness. 
    These
      factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
      concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
      concern basis which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets
      and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements

| We
                maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
                ensure
                that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports
                filed
                with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is recorded,
                processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
                in
                the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated
                and communicated to our management. Based on their most recent evaluation,
                which was completed as of the end of the period covered by this Annual
                Report on Form 10-K, we have evaluated, with the participation of
                our
                Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness
                of
                our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15
                and
                15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). In designing
                and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management
                recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
                and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
                the
                desired control objectives and are subject to certain limitations,
                including the exercise of judgment by individuals, the difficulty
                in
                identifying unlikely future events, and the difficulty in eliminating
                misconduct completely. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
                Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
                controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007
                because
                of material weaknesses to internal controls over financial reporting
                as
                set forth below. | |
| Management's
                Report on Internal Control over Financial
                Reporting | |
| Our
                management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
                internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
                in
                Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
                Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
                reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
                and
                the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
                accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
                States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal
                control
                over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements
                or
                fraudulent acts. A control system, no matter how well designed, can
                provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
                preparation and presentation.  Internal
                control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
                that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
                detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
                of
                the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
                transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation
                of the
                consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
                accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts
                and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
                with
                appropriate authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
                and
                (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
                detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
                Company's
                assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial
                statements. Because
                of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
                may
                not prevent or detect misstatements or fraudulent acts. Also, projections
                of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
                to the
                risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
                or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
                may
                deteriorate. Management,
                with the participation of our Chief
                Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation
                of
                the effectiveness of internal control over
                financial | 
110
         reporting
        based on the framework in Internal
        Control – Integrated Framework issued
        by
        the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
        Based on this evaluation, we concluded the Company did not maintain effective
        internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. 
      BDO
        Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited the
        effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and
        based on that audit, issued their report which is included herein. 
      An
        internal control significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination
        of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
        a
        significant misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements
        will not be prevented or detected. The term “significant misstatement" was
        defined, in turn, to mean "a misstatement that is less than material yet
        important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of
        the
        company's financial reporting”. An internal control material weakness is a
        deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
        reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
        misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will
        not be
        prevented or detected on a timely basis. 
      As
        of
        December 31, 2007, the following material weakness was identified: 
      The
        monitoring of pricing, invoicing, and the corresponding inventory for
        transportation and disposal process controls at certain facilities within
        the
        Company's Industrial Segment were ineffective and were not being applied
        consistently. This weakness could result in sales being priced and invoiced
        at
        amounts, which were not approved by the customer or the appropriate level
        of
        management, and inaccurate corresponding transportation and disposal expense.
        Although this material weakness did not result in an adjustment to the quarterly
        or annual financial statements, if not corrected, it has a reasonable
        possibility that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial
        statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 
      The
        material weakness identified above was partly caused by 2007 being a
        reorganization year for us, including the planned divestiture of our six
        Industrial Segment facilities (Perma-Fix of Maryland and Perma-Fix Dayton
        were
        sold in January and March of 2008, respectively), the reduction of 13 Industrial
        Segment employees (including three controllers and three general managers),
        the
        consolidation of Perma-Fix of Orlando accounting functions into Perma-Fix
        of
        Florida, and the consolidation of various facilities’ payroll and accounts
        payable functions into Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, The V.P. of Facility
        Accounting position was eliminated in August of 2007, and all of this position’s
        responsibilities were consolidated into our Corporate Office in Atlanta,
        Georgia. We currently have interested parties and are negotiating to sell
        certain facilities within our Industrial Segment, and we believe the material
        weakness will inherently be remediated. Furthermore, we are in the process
        of
        developing a formal remediation plan for the Audit Committee’s review and
        approval.

          Report
      of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
    Board
      of
      Directors and Stockholders
    Perma-Fix
      Environmental Services, Inc.
    Atlanta,
      Georgia
    We
      have
      audited Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.’s and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
      2007, based on criteria established in Internal
      Control—Integrated Framework issued
      by
      the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO
      criteria”).  The Company's management is responsible for maintaining
      effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
      of
      the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in
      the
      accompanying Item 9A, Evaluation of disclosure, controls, and procedures. Our
      responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over
      financial reporting based on our audit. 
    We
      conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
      plan
      and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
      internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
      respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
      over
      financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
      testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
      control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing other
      procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that
      our
      audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
    A
      company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
      provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
      and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
      with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control
      over
      financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
      to
      the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
      reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
      (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
      necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
      of
      the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
      and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
      regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
      or
      disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the
      financial statements. 
    Because
      of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
      not
      prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
      effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
      inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
      with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 
    A
      material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies,
      in
      internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
      possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim
      financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The
      following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s
      assessment:
 
    | · | Deficiencies
                    in the monitoring and execution of certain pricing and invoicing
                    process
                    controls at certain facilities within the Company's Industrial
                    Segment
                    were identified and others were not being applied consistently.
                     | 
| · | Deficiencies
                exist in controls at certain facilities within the Industrial Segment
                over
                tracking material for transportation and disposal and the monitoring,
                oversight, and review of related accrual and revenue
                calculations. | 
These
      material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and
      extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2007 consolidated financial
      statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 31, 2008
      on those consolidated financial statements. 
    112
        In
      our
      opinion, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. and subsidiaries did not
      maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
      reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
    We
      do not
      express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statements
      referring to any corrective actions taken by the Company after the date of
      management’s assessment.
    We
      have
      also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
      Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company
      as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of
      operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
      the period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated March 31, 2008
      expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Our report contains an explanatory
      paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going
      concern.

      the closing of the acquisition by the Company of Nuvotec (See “Note 4 -

    EXECUTIVE
      OFFICERS
    See
      Item
      4A –“Executive
      Officers of the Registrant” in Part I of this report for information concerning
      our executive officers, as of the date hereof. 
    There
      are
      no family relationships between any of the directors or executive
      officers.
    Section
      16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
    Section
      16(a) of the Exchange Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder require
      our executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of more than 10%
      of
      our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership of our
      Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Com-mission, and to furnish us
      with copies of all such reports. Based solely on a review of the copies of
      such
      reports furnished to us and written information provided to us, we believe
      that
      during 2007 none of our executive officers, directors, or beneficial owners
      of
      more than 10% of our Common Stock failed to timely file reports under Section
      16(a).
    Capital
      Bank–Grawe
      Gruppe AG (“Capital Bank”) has advised us that it is a banking institution
      regulated by the banking regulations of Austria, which holds shares of our
      Common Stock as agent on behalf of numerous investors. Capital Bank has
      represented that all of its investors are accredited investors under Rule 501
      of
      Regulation D promulgated under the Act. In addition, Capital Bank has advised
      us
      that none of its investors, individually or as a group, beneficially own more
      than 4.9% of our Common Stock. Capital Bank has further informed us that its
      clients (and not Capital Bank) maintain full voting and dispositive
    116
          power
      over such shares. Consequently, Capital Bank
      has advised us that it believes it is not the beneficial owner, as such term
      is
      defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the shares of our Common Stock
      registered in the name of Capital Bank because it has neither voting nor
      investment power, as such terms are defined in Rule 13d-3, over such shares.
      Capital Bank has informed us that it does not believe that it is required (a)
      to
      file, and has not filed, reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or
      (b)
      to file either Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G in connection with the shares of
      our
      Common Stock registered in the name of Capital Bank.
    If
      the
      representations, or information provided, by Capital Bank are incorrect or
      Capital Bank was historically acting on behalf of its investors as a group,
      rather than on behalf of each investor independent of other investors, then
      Capital Bank and/or the investor group would have become a beneficial owner
      of
      more than 10% of our Common Stock on February 9, 1996, as a result of the
      acquisition of 1,100 shares of our Preferred Stock that were convertible into
      a
      maximum of 1,282,798 shares of our Common Stock. If either Capital Bank or
      a
      group of Capital Bank’s investors became a beneficial owner of more than 10% of
      our Common Stock on February 9, 1996, or at any time thereafter, and thereby
      required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, then Capital
      Bank has failed to file a Form 3 or any Forms 4 or 5 for period from February
      9,
      1996, until the present.
    Code
      of Ethics
    We
      have
      adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all our executive officers. Our Code
      of
      Ethics is available on our website at www.perma-fix.com.
      If any
      amendments are made to the Code of Ethics or any grants of waivers are made to
      any provision of the Code of Ethics to any of our executive officers, we will
      promptly disclose the amendment or waiver and nature of such amendment of waiver
      on our website.
    | ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE
                COMPENSATION | 
Compensation
      Discussion and Analysis 
    Our
      long-term success depends on our ability to efficiently operate our facilities,
      evaluate strategic acquisitions within our Nuclear Segment, and to continue
      to
      research and develop innovative technologies in the treatment of nuclear waste,
      mixed waste and industrial waste. To achieve these goals, it is important that
      we be able to attract, motivate, and retain highly talented individuals who
      are
      committed to our values and goals.
    The
      Compensation and Stock Option Committee (for purposes of this analysis, the
      “Committee”)
      of the
      Board has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually
      monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. The Committee ensures
      that the total compensation paid to the named executive officers is fair,
      reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits
      provided to members of the named executive officers are similar to those
      provided to other executive officers at similar sized companies and
      industries.
    Compensation
      Philosophy and Objectives 
    The
      Committee bases its executive compensation program on our performance
      objectives. The Committee evaluates both executive performance and compensation
      to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract superior employees in key
      positions and to remain competitive relative to the compensation paid to
      similarly situated executives of our peer companies. The Committee believes
      executive compensation packages provided to our executives, including the named
      executive officers, should include both cash and equity-based compensation
      that
      provide rewards for performance. The Committee bases it executive compensation
      program on the following criteria:
    | · | Compensation
                should be based on the level of job responsibility, executive performance,
                and company performance. Executive officers’ pay should be more closely
                linked to company performance than that of other employees because
                the
                executive officers have a greater ability to affect our
                results. | 
117
        | · | Compensation
                should be competitive with compensation offered by other companies
                that
                compete with us for talented
                individuals. | 
| · | Compensation
                should reward performance. | 
| · | Compensation
                should motivate executives to achieve our strategic and operational
                goals. | 
Role
      of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions 
    The
      Committee approves all compensation decisions for the named executive officers
      and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to all of our officers.
      Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other officers are made
      by
      the Chief Executive Officer. 
    The
      Chief
      Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each of the named
      executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer whose performance
      is
      reviewed by the Committee). Based on such reviews, the Chief Executive Officer
      presents a recommendation to the Committee, which may include salary
      adjustments, bonus and equity based awards, and annual award. The Committee
      exercises its discretion in accepting or modifying all such recommendations.
      
    The
      Committee’s Processes 
    The
      Compensation Committee has established certain processes designed to achieve
      our
      executive compensation objectives. These processes include the
      following:
    | · | Company
                Performance Assessment.
                The Committee assesses our performance in order to establish compensation
                ranges and, as described below, to assist the Committee in establishing
                specific performance measures that determine incentive compensation
                under
                the Company’s Executive Management Incentive Plan. For this purpose, we
                consider numerous measures of performance of both us and industries
                with
                which we compete. | 
| · | Individual
                Performance Assessment.
                Because the Committee believes that an individual’s performance should
                effect an individual’s compensation, the Committee evaluates each named
                executive officer’s performance. With respect to the named executive
                officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee considers
                the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. With respect
                to all
                named executive officers, the Committee exercises its judgment based
                on
                its interactions with the executive officer, such officer’s contribution
                to our performance and other leadership
                achievements. | 
| · | Peer
                Group Assessment.
                The Committee benchmarks our compensation program with a group of
                companies against which the Committee believes we compete for talented
                individuals (the “Peer Group”). The composition of the Peer Group is
                periodically reviewed and updated by the Committee. The companies
                currently comprising the Peer Group are Clean Harbors, Inc., American
                Ecology Corporation, and EnergySolutions, Inc. The Committee considers
                the
                Peer Group’s executive compensation programs as a whole and the
                compensation of individual officers if job responsibilities are
                meaningfully similar. The Committee sets compensation for executive
                officers at levels paid to similarly situated executives of the companies
                comprising the Peer Group. The Committee also considers individual
                factors
                such as experience level of the individual and market conditions.
                The
                Committee believes that the Peer Group comparison helps insure that
                our
                executive compensation program is competitive with other companies
                in the
                industry. | 
2007
      Executive Compensation Components 
    For
      the
      fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the principal components of
      compensation for executive officers were: 
    | · | base
                salary; | 
118
        | · | performance-based
                incentive compensation; | 
| · | long
                term incentive compensation; | 
| · | retirement
                and other benefits; and | 
| · | perquisites
                and other personal benefits.  | 
Salary
      accounted for approximately 89.7% of the total compensation of the executive
      officers while non-equity incentive, option award, and other compensation
      accounted for approximately 10.3% of the total compensation of the executive
      officers.
    Base
      Salary 
    The
      Company provides the named executive officers, other officers, and other
      employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during
      the
      fiscal year. Base salary ranges for executive officers are determined for each
      executive based on his or her position and responsibility by using market data
      and comparisons to the Peer Group. 
    During
      its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:
      
    | · | market
                data and Peer Group comparisons; | 
| · | internal
                review of the executive’s compensation, both individually and relative to
                other officers; and | 
| · | individual
                performance of the executive. | 
Salary
      levels are typically considered annually as part of the performance review
      process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility.
      Merit
      based increases to salaries of members of the executive are based on the
      Committee’s assessment of the individual’s performance. 
    Performance-Based
      Incentive Compensation 
    The
      Committee has the latitude to design cash and equity-based incentive
      compensation programs to promote high performance and achievement of our
      corporate objectives by Directors and the named executives, encourage the growth
      of stockholder value and enable employees to participate in our long-term growth
      and profitability. The Committee may grant stock options and/or performance
      bonuses. In granting these awards, the Committee may establish any conditions
      or
      restrictions it deems appropriate. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer
      has
      discretionary authority to grant stock options to certain high-performing
      executives. 
    All
      awards of stock options are made at or above the market price at the time of
      the
      award. Stock options may be awarded to newly hired or promoted executives at
      the
      discretion of the Committee, following the hiring or promotion. Grants of stock
      options to newly hired executive officers who are eligible to receive them
      are
      made at the next regularly scheduled Committee meeting following their hire
      date. 
    Executive
      Management Incentive Plan 
    In
      2005,
      the Board of Directors adopted the Executive Management Incentive Plan (the
      “MIP”),
      which
      became effective January 1, 2006 for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
      Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer. The MIP is an annual
      cash
      incentive program under the management incentive plans. The MIP provides
      guidelines for the calculation of annual cash incentive based compensation,
      subject to Committee oversight and modification. The Committee considers whether
      an MIP should be established for the next succeeding year and, if so, approves
      the group of employees eligible to participate in the MIP for that year. Prior
      to 2007, the Committee established the MIP for 2007. The MIP includes various
      incentive levels based on the participant’s responsibilities and impact on
      Company operations, with target award opportunities that are established as
      a
      percentage of base salary. These targets range from 26% of base salary to 50%
      of
      base salary for the Company’s named executive officers. 
119
        For
      fiscal 2007, 70% of a named executive officer’s MIP award was based upon
      achievement of corporate financial objectives relating to revenue and net income
      targets based on board approved budget, with each component accounting for
      15%
      and 55%, respectively, of the total corporate financial objective portion of
      the
      MIP award. The remaining 30% of an executive’s MIP award was based upon health
& safety incidents and permit & license compliance targets. Each year,
      the Committee sets target and maximum levels for each component of the corporate
      financial objective portion of the MIP. Payments of awards under the MIP are
      contingent upon the achievement of such objectives for the current year.
      Executive officers participating in the MIP receive: 
    | · | no
                payment for the corporate financial objective portion of the MIP
                award
                unless we achieve the target performance level (as computed for the
                total
                corporate financial objective
                portion); | 
| · | a
                payment of at least 100% but less than 175% of the target award
                opportunity for the corporate financial objective portion of the
                MIP award
                if we achieve or exceed the target performance level but do not attain
                the
                maximum performance level; and | 
| · | a
                payment of 175% of the target award opportunity for the corporate
                financial objective portion of the MIP award if we achieve or exceed
                the
                maximum performance level. | 
Upon
      completion of each fiscal year, the Committee assesses the performance of the
      Company for each corporate financial objective of the MIP comparing the actual
      fiscal year results to the pre-determined target and maximum levels for each
      objective and an overall percentage amount for the corporate financial
      objectives is calculated. 
    Generally,
      the Committee sets the target level for earnings using our annually approved
      budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Minimum target objectives are set between
      80% - 100% of the Company’s budget. Maximum earnings objectives are set at 161%
      or higher of the Company’s budget. In making the annual determination of the
      target and maximum levels, the Committee may consider the specific circumstances
      facing the Company during the coming year. The Committee generally sets the
      target and maximum levels such that the relative difficulty of achieving the
      target level is consistent from year to year. 
    Each
      of
      the executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
      received the following payments in March 2007 under the MIP for fiscal year
      2006

Long-Term
      Incentive Compensation 
    Employee
      Stock Option Plan
    The
      2004
      Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) encourages participants to focus on
      long-term performance and provides an opportunity for executive officers and
      certain designated key employees to increase their stake in us. Stock options
      succeed by delivering value to the executive only when the value of our stock
      increases. The Option Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options
      and incentive stock options for the purchase of Common Stock.
    The
      Option Plan assists the Company to: 
    | · | enhance
                the link between the creation of stockholder value and long-term
                executive

Stock
      option award levels are determined based on market data, vary among participants
      based on their positions with us and are granted at the Committee’s regularly
      scheduled March meeting. Newly hired or promoted executive officers who are
      eligible to receive options are awarded such options at the next regularly
      scheduled Committee meeting following their hire or promotion date.
    Options
      are awarded with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s
      Common Stock on the date of the grant as reported on the NASDAQ. In certain
      limited circumstances, the Committee may grant options to an executive at an
      exercise price in excess of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on
      the grant date. The Committee will not grant options with an exercise price
      that
      is less than the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date,
      nor has it granted options which are priced on a date other than the grant
      date.
    No
      options were granted to any named executives in 2007 due to timing constraints
      resulting from our acquisition and divestiture efforts. The stock options
      granted prior to 2006 generally have a ten year term with annual vesting of
      20%
      over a five year period. In anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 123R, on July
      28, 2005, the Committee approved the acceleration of all outstanding and
      unvested options as of the approval date. The options granted in 2006 by the
      Committee are for a six year term with vesting period of three years at
      33.3% increment per year. Vesting and exercise rights cease upon
      termination of employment 
121
        except
        in
        the case of death or retirement (subject to a six month limitation), or
        disability (subject to a one year limitation). Prior to the exercise of an
        option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares
        subject to such option. 
      In
        the
        event of a change of control (as defined in the “1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option
        Plan” and “2004 Stock Option Plan”) of the Company, each outstanding option and
        award granted under the plans shall immediately become exercisable in full
        notwithstanding the vesting or exercise provisions contained in the stock
        option
        agreement. 
    Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation 
    On
      January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
      Statement No. 123 (revised) ("SFAS 123R"), Share-Based
      Payment,
      a
      revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation,
      superseding APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees, and
      its
      related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes
      accounting standards for entity exchanges of equity instruments for goods or
      services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
      in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the
      entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those
      equity instruments.  SFAS 123R
      requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
      stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their
      fair values. 
    We
      adopted SFAS 123R utilizing the modified prospective method in which
      compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on
      SFAS 123R requirements for all (a) share-based payments granted after the
      effective date and (b) awards granted to employees and directors prior to
      the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.
    Prior
      to
      our adoption of SFAS 123R, on
      July 28, 2005, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
      Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all the outstanding and
      unvested options to purchase Common Stock awarded to employees as of the
      approval date. The Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of these
      options based on the belief that it was in the best interest of our stockholders
      to reduce future compensation expense that would otherwise be required in the
      statement of operations upon adoption of SFAS 123R, effective beginning January
      1, 2006. See impact of FASB Statement 123(R) on our operating results in “Note 3
      - Stock Based Compensation” to “Notes to Consolidated Financial
      Statements”. 
    Retirement
      and Other Benefits 
    401(k)
      Plan
    We
      adopted the Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k)
      Plan”) in 1992, which is intended to comply with Section 401 of the Internal
      Revenue Code and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
      Act
      of 1974. All full-time employees who have attained the age of 18 are eligible
      to
      participate in the 401(k) Plan. Eligibility is immediate upon employment but
      enrollment is only allowed during two yearly open periods of January 1 and
      July
      1. Participating employees may make annual pretax contributions to their
      accounts up to 100% of their compensation, up to a maximum amount as limited
      by
      law. We, at our discretion, may make matching contributions based on the
      employee’s elective contributions. Company contributions vest over a period of
      five years. We currently match 25% of our employees’ contributions. We
      contributed $418,000 in matching funds during 2007, with $17,000 for our named
      executive officers during 2007.
    Perquisites
      and Other Personal Benefits 
    The
      Company provides executive officers with limited perquisites and other personal
      benefits that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and
      consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company
      to
      attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Committee
122
        periodically
      reviews the levels of perquisites and
      other personal benefits provided to executive officers. The executive officers
      are provided an auto allowance. 
    Proposed
      Employment Agreements  
    On
      March
      1, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized us to enter into employment
      agreements with our named executives, subject to finalization of certain of
      its
      material terms, including, but not limited to, the formula for paying year-end
      incentive bonuses. As of the date of this report, the terms of the employment
      agreements have not been finalized, and none of our named executives has entered
      into any employment agreement with us. 
    It
      is
      anticipated that such proposed employment agreements, if completed, would be
      effective for three years, unless earlier terminated by us with or without
      cause
      or by the executive officer for “good reason” or any other reason. If the
      executive officer’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or for
      cause, it is anticipated that we would pay to the executive officer or to his
      estate a lump sum equal to the sum of any unpaid base salary through the date
      of
      termination, any earned or unpaid incentive bonus, and any benefits due to
      the
      executive officer under any employee benefit plan, excluding any severance
      program or policy (the “Accrued Amounts”).
    If
      the
      executive officer terminates his employment for good reason or is terminated
      without cause, it is anticipated that the employment agreements will provide
      that we would be required to pay the executive officer a sum equal to the total
      Accrued Amounts and one year of full base salary. If the executive terminates
      his employment for a reason other than for good reason, it is anticipated that
      the Company would pay to the executive the amount equal to the Accrued Amounts.
      The employment agreements would provide, when finalized, that if there is a
      Change in Control (to be defined in the agreements), that all outstanding stock
      options to purchase common stock held by the executive officer will immediately
      become exercisable in full.
    Compensation
      Committee Report 
    The
      Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion
      and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and,
      based on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board
      that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Form 10-K.

| (3) | The
                number of shares of Common Stock comprising stock awards granted
                under the
                2003 Outside Directors Plan is calculated based on 75% of the closing
                market value of the Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ on the
                business
                day immediately preceding the date that the quarterly fee is due.
                Such
                shares are fully vested on the date of grant. The value of the stock
                award
                is based on the market value of our Common Stock at each quarter
                end times
                the number of shares as determined in the manner noted.
                 |

                granted under the Company’s 2003 Outside Director Plan resulting from
                reelection of the Board of Directors on August 2, 2007. Options are
                for a
                10 year period with an exercise price of $2.95 per share and are
                fully
                vested in six months from grant date. The value of the option award
                is
                calculated based on the fair value of the option per share ($2.296)
                on the
                date of grant pursuant to SFAS 123R. In 2007, the option expense
                recognized for financial statement purposes totaled $191,000. The
                remaining $43,000 option expense will be recognized by February 2008,
                upon
                vesting of the stock option, pursuant to SFAS 123R. See “Note 2” of “Notes
                to Consolidated Financial
                Statements”. | 
| (5) | In
                addition to the quarterly fees for his service as a member of our
                Board of
                Directors, Mr. Reeder was awarded $160,000 in additional fees by
                the Board
                of Directors on October 31, 2007 as compensation for his services
                as the
                board’s representative in negotiating the agreement in principle to settle
                the claims brought by the United States, on behalf of the EPA, against
                PFD, our Dayton, Ohio, subsidiary, and resolution of certain other
                matters
                relating to that lawsuit. Payment of the fee is governed by the terms
                of
                our 2003 Outsider Directors Stock Plan. Mr. Reeder elected to receive
                100%
                of his fees payable in stock. As a result, Mr. Reeder was issued
                73,818
                shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash (based on 75% of the closing
                price
                of $2.89/share on October 30, 2007). The fair value of the stock
                on

                “Note 16 - Related Party Transactions” in “Notes to Consolidated Financial
                Statements”). | 
2003
      Outside Directors Plan
    We
      believe that it is important for our directors to have a personal interest
      in
      our success and growth and for their interests to be aligned with those of
      our
      stockholders. Therefore, under our 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan (“2003
      Directors Plan”), each outside director is granted a 10 year option to purchase
      up to 30,000 shares of Common Stock on the date such director is initially
      elected to the Board of Directors, and receives on each reelection date an
      option to purchase up to another 12,000 shares of Common Stock, with the
      exercise price being the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
      that
      the option is granted. No option granted under the 2003 Directors Plan is
      exercisable until after the expiration of six months from the date the option
      is
      granted and no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years
      from the 
128
        date
      the option is granted. Options to purchase
      426,000 shares of Common Stock were granted and are outstanding under the 2003
      Directors Plan. 
    In
      2007,
      we increased our monthly payment of fees to our outside directors from $1,500
      to
      $1,750. In addition, each board member is paid $1,000 for each board meeting
      attendance as well as $500 for each telephonic conference call. We compensate
      our Audit Committee Chairman an additional $2,250 for each month of service
      as
      Chairman, as result of the additional responsibilities placed on that position.
      As a member of the Board of Directors, each director elects to receive either
      65% or 100% of the director's fee in shares of our Common Stock based on 75%
      of
      the fair market value of the Common Stock determined on the business day
      immediately preceding the date that the quarterly fee is due. The balance of
      each director’s fee, if any, is payable in cash. In 2007, the fees earned by our
      outside directors totaled $458,000, which included 73,818 shares of stock valued
      at $213,334 paid to Mr. Joe Reeder as compensation for his services as the
      board’s representative in negotiating the agreement in principle to settle the
      claims brought by the United States, on behalf of the EPA, against PFD, our
      Dayton, Ohio, subsidiary, and resolution of certain other matters relating
      to
      that lawsuit (see “Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceeding” and “Note 16 - Related
      Party Transactions” in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”). The
      aggregate amount of accrued directors’ fees at December 31, 2007, to be paid
      during 2008 to the seven outside directors (Colin, Ferguson, Lahav, Reeder,
      Shelton, Young and Zwecker) was approximately $100,000. Reimbursements of
      expenses for attending meetings of the Board are paid in cash at the time of
      the
      applicable Board meeting. Although Dr. Centofanti is not compensated for his
      services provided as a director, Dr. Centofanti is compensated for his services
      rendered as an officer of the Company. See “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Summary
      Compensation Table.”
    As
      of the
      date of this report, we have issued 412,465 shares of our Common Stock in
      payment of director fees under the 2003 Directors Plan, covering the period
      October 1, 2002, through December 31, 2007.
    In
      the
      event of a change of control (as defined in the “2003 Outside Directors Stock
      Plan”), each outstanding option and award granted under the plans shall
      immediately become exercisable in full notwithstanding the vesting or exercise
      provisions contained in the stock option agreement. 
    Compensation
      Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
    During
      2007, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee for our Board of Directors
      was
      composed of Jack Lahav, Jon Colin, Joe Reeder, and Dr. Charles E. Young. None
      of
      the members of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee has been an officer
      or employee of the Company or has had any relationship with the Company
      requiring disclosure under the SEC regulations.

                together as a group or otherwise act in concert for the purpose of
                voting
                on matters subject to the vote of our stockholders or for purpose

                in
                connection with the shares of our Common Stock registered in the

                Bank is not the beneficial owner, as such term is defined in Rule
                13d-3 of
                the Exchange Act, of the shares of Common Stock registered in Capital
                Bank’s name because (a) Capital Bank holds the Common Stock as a nominee

Notwithstanding
      the previous paragraph, if Capital Bank's representations to us described above
      are incorrect or if Capital Bank's investors are acting as a group, then Capital
      Bank or a group of Capital Bank's investors could be a beneficial owner of
      more
      than 5% of our voting securities. If Capital Bank is deemed 
130
        the
      beneficial owner of such shares, the following
      table sets forth information as to the shares of voting securities that Capital
      Bank may be considered to beneficially own on March 10, 2008.

(1)
        This calculation is based upon 53,704,516 shares of Common Stock issued and
        outstanding on March 10, 2008 plus the number of shares of Common Stock which
        Capital Bank, as agent for certain accredited investors has the right to
        acquire
        within 60 days, which is none.
    (2)
      This
      amount is the number of shares that Capital Bank has represented to us that
      it
      holds of record as nominee for, and as an agent of, certain of its accredited
      investors. As of the date of this report, Capital Bank has no warrants or
      options to acquire, as agent for certain investors, additional shares of our
      Common Stocks. Although Capital Bank is the record holder of the shares of
      Common Stock described in this note, Capital Bank has advised us that it does
      not believe it is a beneficial owner of the Common Stock or that it is required
      to file reports under Section 16(a) or Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
      Because Capital Bank (a) has advised us that it holds the Common Stock as a
      nominee only and that it does not exercise voting or investment power over
      the
      Common Stock held in its name and that no one investor of Capital Bank for
      which
      it holds our Common Stock holds more than 4.9% of our issued and outstanding
      Common Stock and (b) has not nominated, and has not sought to nominate, and
      does
      not intend to nominate in the future, any person to serve as a member of our
      Board of Directors, we do not believe that Capital Bank is our affiliate.

                  RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
                  INDEPENDENCE | 
Lawrence
      Properties LLC
    During
      February 2006, our Board of Directors approved and we entered into a lease
      agreement, whereby we lease property from Lawrence Properties LLC, a company
      jointly owned by the president of Schreiber, Yonley and Associates, Robert
      Schreiber, Jr. and his spouse. Mr. Schreiber is a member of our executive
      management team. The lease is for a term of five years from June 1, 2006. We
      pay
      monthly rent expense of $10,000, which we believe is lower than costs charged
      by
      unrelated third party landlords. Additional rent will be assessed for any
      increases over the initial lease commencement year for property taxes or
      assessments and property and casualty insurance premiums.
    Mr.
      Joe Reeder
    The
      Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors unanimously recommended to
      the
      full Board of Directors, and, based on such recommendation, on October 31,
      2007,
      our Board of Directors, with Mr. Reeder abstaining, approved that Mr. Joe R.
      Reeder, a member of our Board of Directors be paid an additional director’s fee
      of $160,000 as compensation for his services as the board’s representative in
      negotiating the agreement in principle to settle the claims brought by the
      United States, on behalf of the EPA, against PFD, our Dayton, Ohio, subsidiary,
      and resolution of certain other matters relating to that lawsuit (See Part
      I,
      Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings”). As a fee payable to Mr. Reeder for his
      services as a member of our Board of Directors, payment of the fee is governed
      by the terms of our 2003 Outsider Directors Stock Plan. In accordance with
      the
      terms of the 2003 Directors Plan, fees payable to a non-employee director may
      be
      paid, at the election of the director, with either 65% or 100% in shares of
      our
      common stock, with any balance payable in cash. The number of shares to be
      issued under the 2003 Directors Plan in lieu of cash fees is determined by
      dividing the amount of the fee by 75% of the closing sales price of our common
      stock on the business day immediately preceding the date that the fee is due.
      Mr. Reeder elected to receive 100% of such fee in shares of our Common Stock
      in
      lieu of cash. As fees payable to Mr. Reeder on October 31, 2007, Mr. Reeder
      was
      issued 73,818 shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash (based on 75% of the
      closing price of $2.89/share on October 30, 2007). The fair value of the stock
      on October 30, 2007 is $213,334, which we expensed as director’s fees in the
      4th
      quarter
      of 2007. The shares were issued to Mr. Reeder on December 31, 2007.

        Mr.
      David Centofanti
    Mr.
      David
      Centofanti serves as our Director of Information Services. For such services,
      he
      received total compensation in 2007 of approximately $154,000. Mr. David
      Centofanti is the son of our chief executive officer and chairman of our board,
      Dr. Louis F. Centofanti. We believe the compensation received by Mr. Centofanti
      for his technical expertise which he provides to the Company is competitive
      and
      comparable to compensation we would have to pay to an unaffiliated third party
      with the same technical expertise. 
    Mr.
      Robert L. Ferguson
    On
      June
      13, 2007, we acquired Nuvotec and Nuvotec's wholly owned subsidiary, PEcoS,
      pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, between us, Nuvotec, PEcoS,
      and
      our wholly owned subsidiary. At the time of the acquisition, Robert L. Ferguson
      was the chairman, chief executive officer, and individually or through entities
      controlled by him, the owner of approximately 21.29% of Nuvotec’s outstanding
      common stock. 
    As
      consideration for the merger, we agreed to pay the Nuvotec’s shareholders the
      sum of approximately $11.2 million, payable as follows:
    | (a) | $2.3
                million in cash at closing of the
                merger; | 
| (b) | an
                earn-out amount not to exceed $4.4 million over a four year period
                ("Earn-Out Amount"), with the first $1.0 million of the Earn-Out
                Amount to
                be placed in an escrow account to satisfy certain indemnification
                obligations under the Merger Agreement of Nuvotec, PEcoS, and the
                shareholders of Nuvotec (including Mr. Ferguson) to us that are identified
                by us within two years following the merger;
                and | 
| (c) | payable
                only to the shareholders of Nuvotec that qualified as accredited
                investors
                pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
                Act
                of 1933, as amended (which includes Mr.
                Ferguson): | 
| · | $2.5
                million, payable over a four year period, unsecured and nonnegotiable
                and
                bearing an annual rate of interest of 8.25%, with (i) accrued interest
                only payable on June 30, 2008, (ii) $833,333.33, plus accrued and
                unpaid
                interest, payable on June 30, 2009, (iii) $833,333.33, plus accrued
                and
                unpaid interest, payable on June 30, 2010, and (iv) the remaining
                unpaid
                principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, payable on June
                30,
                2011 (collectively, the "Installment Payments"). The Installment
                Payments
                may be prepaid at any time by Perma-Fix without penalty;
                and | 
| · | 709,207
                shares of our common stock, with such number of shares determined
                by
                dividing $2.0 million by 95% of average of the closing price of the
                common
                stock as quoted on the Nasdaq during the 20 trading days period ending
                five business days prior to the closing of the merger.
                 | 
At
      the
      closing of the merger, the Nuvotec debt was approximately $9.4 million, of
      which
      approximately $3.7 million was for PEcoS. Approximately $8.9 million of the
      $9.4
      million was owed to KeyBank National Association. We paid approximately $5.4
      million of the total debt, with payment of approximately $4.9 million on the
      KeyBank debt. Of the amount of remaining debt, $4.0 million is owed by PESI
      Northwest under a credit facility with KeyBank. The KeyBank credit facility
      and
      a related $1.75 million line of credit with KeyBank is guaranteed by Mr.
      Ferguson [and William Lampson, who prior to the merger was the vice-chairman
      and
      a vice-president of Nuvotec and PEcoS]. 
    We
      paid Mr. Ferguson and entities controlled by him,
      as accredited stockholders in Nuvotec, a total of $224,560 cash and issued
      to
      him and the entities controlled by him a total of 192,783 shares of our common
      stock in consideration for the merger pursuant to the terms described above.
      The
      fair market value of the 
    134
        192,783
      shares of common stock issued to Mr. Ferguson was $584,133, based on the closing
      price of our common stock on July 23, 2007, the date of issuance. Mr. Ferguson
      and the entities controlled by him will also be entitled to receive 21.29%
      of
      the total Earn-Out Amount and 27.18% of the the Installment Payments payable
      under the terms of the Merger Agreement, based on the proportionate share of
      Nuvotec’s common stock owned prior to the merger by Mr. Ferguson and entities
      controlled by him.
    In
      connection with the merger, we agreed to increase the number of our directors
      from seven to eight and to take reasonable action to nominate and recommend
      Mr.
      Ferguson for election as a member of our Board of Directors, if such nomination
      would not breach any fiduciary duties or legal requirements of our Board. The
      Board of Directors subsequently determined that nominating Mr. Ferguson for
      election as a member of our Board would not breach the Board's fiduciary duties
      or legal requirements. Accordingly, our Corporate Governance and Nominating
      Committee considered Mr. Ferguson’s qualifications and nominated him for
      election to the Board. Our shareholders elected Mr. Ferguson as a director
      at
      our 2007 annual meeting held on August 2, 2007.

Audit
      Fees
    The
      aggregate fees and expenses billed by BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”) for professional
      services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements
      for
      the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, for the reviews of the
      financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
      for those fiscal years, and for review of documents filed with the Securities
      and Exchange Commission for those fiscal years were approximately $557,000
      and

      $175,000 and $195,000, respectively, in fees related to the audit of internal
      control over financial reporting. Approximately 8% and 7% of the total hours
      spent on audit services for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006,
      were spent by Cross, Fernandez and Riley, LLP (“CFR”) and by McLeod and Company,
      respectively, members of the BDO alliance network of firms. Such members are
      not
      full time, permanent employees of BDO. No members of any BDO alliance network
      of
      firms performed audit services for the Company for the years ended December
      31,
      2007
    Audit-Related
      Fees
    BDO
      was
      not engaged to provide audit related services to the Company for the fiscal
      years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The aggregate fees billed by CFR for
      audit related services to the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31,
      2007 was approximately $4,200.
    CFR
      audited the Company's 401(k) Plan during 2007 and 2006, and billed $10,000
      and
      $11,000, respectively.
    Tax
      Services
    BDO
      was
      not engaged to provide tax services to the Company for the fiscal year ended
      December 31, 2007 and 2006.
    The
      aggregate fees billed by CFR for tax compliance services for 2007 and 2006
      were
      approximately $7,800 and $34,000, respectively. CFR was engaged to provide
      consulting on corporate tax issues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
      resulting in fees billed of approximately $4,300. 
    135
        All
      Other Fees
    BDO
      was
      engaged to provide services related to the acquisition of Nuvotec USA, Inc.
      and
      its who1ly owned subsidiary, Pacific EcoSolutions, Inc. (“PEcoS”) and other
      corporate related matters for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, resulting
      in fees totaling approximately $12,000. In 2006, BDO was engaged to provide
      services related to our proposed acquisition of Nuvotec USA, Inc. and its who1ly
      owned subsidiary, Pacific EcoSolutions, Inc. (“PEcoS”), resulting in fees of
      approximately $4,300. 
    The
      Audit
      Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has considered whether BDO’s
      provision of the services described above for the fiscal years ended December
      31, 2007 and 2006, is compatible with maintaining its independence. The Audit
      Committee also considered services performed by CFR and McLeod and Company
      to
      determine that it is compatible with maintaining independence.
    Engagement
      of the Independent Auditor 
    The
      Audit
      Committee is responsible for approving all engagements with BDO and any members
      of the BDO alliance network of firms to perform audit or non-audit services
      for
      us, prior to engaging these firms to provide those services. All of the services
      under the headings Audit Fees, Audit Related Fees, Tax Services, and All Other
      Fees were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C)
      of
      Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee's
      pre-approval policy provides as follows:
    | · | The
                Audit Committee will review and pre-approve on an annual basis any
                known
                audit, audit-related, tax and all other services, along with acceptable
                cost levels, to be performed by BDO and any members of the BDO alliance
                network of firms. The Audit Committee may revise the pre-approved
                services
                during the period based on subsequent determinations. Pre-approved
                services typically include: statutory audits, quarterly reviews,
                regulatory filing requirements, consultation on new accounting and
                disclosure standards, employee benefit plan audits, reviews and reporting
                on management's internal controls and specified tax
                matters. | 
| · | Any
                proposed service that is not pre-approved on the annual basis requires
                a
                specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee, including cost level
                approval. | 
| · | The
                Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more
                of the
                Audit Committee members. The delegated member must report to the
                Audit
                Committee, at the next Audit Committee meeting, any pre-approval
                decisions
                made. |
