Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

Reference is made herein to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company (which may be referred to as we, us or our), without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The Company suggests that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the account of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), Perma-Fix ERRG, for which we are the primary beneficiary (See “Note 14 - VIE” for a discussion of this VIE). The consolidated financial statements for 2021 also included the accounts of the Company’s majority-owned Polish subsidiary, Perma-Fix Medical S.A (“PFM Poland”) and PFM Poland’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Perma-Fix Medical Corporation (“PFMC”), which comprised of the Company’s Medical Segment. As previously discussed, the Company made the strategic decision to cease all research and development (“R&D”) activities under the Medical Segment and sold 100% of its interest in PFM Poland in December 2021. As a condition precent to the sale of PFM Poland, the Company acquired PFMC after its conversion to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result of the sale of PFM Poland, the Company deconsolidated PFM Poland from its consolidated financial statements in December 2021. The Company’s Medical Segment had not generated any revenue.

Information for the Medical Segment is presented for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Medical Segment was disposed of as of December 31, 2021 and is not relevant for the quarter and six month ended June 30, 2022. Prior period segment information is not required to be restated for the disposal of the segment.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are as set forth in the notes to the December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements referred to above.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 206), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This ASU is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU by the Company effective January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and various subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables and loans. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. These ASUs are effective January 1, 2023 for the Company as an SRC. Under new guidance issued by the Commission in March 2020, the Company continued to qualify as a SRC but became an accelerated filer for its 2021 Form 10-K and its 2022 quarterly 10-Q filings. The Company will remain a SRC but will become a non-accelerated filer for its 2022 Form 10-K and subsequent filings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company plans to adopt both ASUs when LIBOR is discontinued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new ASUs on its condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this report, the Company has determined that only its obligations under the credit facility as described in “Note 8 – Long Term Debt” would be impacted by these ASUs. The Company’s obligations under its credit facility permit for payment of annual rate of interests on its obligations using prime rate or LIBOR.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models and removing certain settlement condition qualifiers for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and simplifies the related diluted net income per share calculation for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, for the Company as an SRC. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our services and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations. The nature of the Company’s performance obligations within our Treatment and Services Segments result in the recognition of our revenue primarily over time. The following tables present further disaggregation of our revenues by different categories for our Services and Treatment Segments:

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues which represent advance payment from customers in advance of the completion of our performance obligation. The following table represents changes in our contract liabilities balances:

Schedule of Contract Liabilities

					Year-to-date			Year-to-date
(In thousands)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Change ($)			Change (%)
Contract liabilities
Deferred revenue	$	3,574	$	5,580	$	(2,006	)		(35.9	)%

The decrease was attributed primarily due to revenue recognized in connection with a Services Segment contract.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $2,123,000 and $5,644,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $1,763,000 and $6,074,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. Revenue recognized in each period related to performance obligations satisfied within the respective period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Within our Services Segment, there are service contracts which provide that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice; accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for those contracts.

The Company’s contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites generally allow for termination for convenience at any time at the government’s option without payment of a substantial penalty. The Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations on these contracts.

4. Leases

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on facts and circumstances present in that arrangement. Lease classifications, recognition, and measurement are then determined at the lease commencement date.

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities represent primarily leases for office and warehouse spaces used to conduct our business. Finance leases consist primarily of processing and transport equipment used by our facilities’ operations.

The components of lease cost for the Company’s leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

6. Capital Stock, Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

The Company has certain stock option plans under which it may award incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and/or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) to employees, officers, outside directors, and outside consultants. No stock options were granted in the first six months of 2022.

The Company granted a NQSO to Robert Ferguson on July 27, 2017 from the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan (“2017 Plan”) for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Ferguson Stock Option”) in connection with his work as a consultant to the Company’s Test Bed Initiative (“TBI”) at our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) facility at an exercise price of $3.65 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of the Ferguson Stock Option is seven years from the grant date. The vesting of the Ferguson Stock Option is subject to the achievement of three separate milestones by certain dates. The first milestone was met and the shares under the first milestone were issued to Robert Ferguson in May 2018. The Company had previously entered into amendments whereby the vesting dates for the second and third milestones for the purchase of up to 30,000 and 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were extended to December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively. On January 20, 2022, the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“Compensation Committee”) and the Board of Directors (“Board”) further amended the vesting dates of the second and third milestones to December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This amendment was approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board to take effect December 31, 2021. The Company has not recognized compensation costs (fair value of approximately $289,000 at June 30, 2022) for the remaining 90,000 Ferguson Stock Option under the remaining two milestones since achievement of the performance obligation under each of the two remaining milestones is uncertain at June 30, 2022. All other terms of the Ferguson Stock Option remain unchanged.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for our employee and director stock options.

	2022		2021		2022		2021
	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
Stock Options	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Employee Stock Options	$	86,000	$	33,000	$	172,000	$	66,000
Director Stock Options		17,000		9,000		33,000		21,000
Total	$	103,000	$	42,000	$	205,000	$	87,000

At June 30, 2022, the Company has approximately $1,184,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options for employee and directors. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized is approximately 3.9 years.

The summary of the Company’s total Stock Option Plans as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and changes during the periods then ended, are presented below. The Company’s Plans consist of the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the 2017 Plans and the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan, as amended (“2003 Plan”):

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued a total of 41,187 shares of its Common Stock under the 2003 Plan to its outside directors as compensation for serving on our Board. The Company has recorded approximately $240,000 in compensation expenses (included in selling, general and administration (“SG&A”) expenses) in connection with the issuance of shares of its Common Stock to outside directors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 16,526 shares of its Common Stock from a cashless exercise of an option for the purchase of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $3.97 per share.

In connection with a $2,500,000 loan that the Company entered into with Mr. Robert Ferguson (the “Ferguson Loan”) on April 1, 2019, the Company issued a warrant to Mr. Ferguson for the purchase of up to 60,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.51 per share. The warrant expires on April 1, 2024 and remains outstanding at June 30, 2022. The Ferguson Loan was paid-in-full in December 2020.

7. (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic (loss) income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted (loss) income per share is based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the weighted-average number of potential outstanding common shares. In periods where they are anti-dilutive, such amounts are excluded from the calculations of dilutive earnings per share. The following table reconciles the (loss) income and average share amounts used to compute both basic and diluted (loss) income per share:

Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Capital Line Agreement

The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 8, 2020 (“Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Loan Agreement provides the Company with the following credit facility with a maturity date of March 15, 2024: (a) up to $18,000,000 revolving credit (“revolving credit”) and (b) a term loan (“term loan”) of approximately $1,742,000, requiring monthly installments of $35,547. The maximum that the Company can borrow under the revolving credit is based on a percentage of eligible receivables (as defined) at any one time reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit and borrowing reductions that our lender may impose from time to time. The Loan Agreement, as amended, also provides a capital expenditure line of up to $1,000,000 with advances on the line, subject to certain limitations, permitted for up to twelve months starting May 4, 2021 (the “Borrowing Period”). Only interest is payable on advances during the Borrowing Period. At the end of the Borrowing Period, the total amount advanced under the line will amortize equally based on a five-year amortization schedule with principal payment due monthly plus interest. At the maturity date of the Loan Agreement, as amended, any unpaid principal balance plus interest, if any, will become due. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company advanced approximately $524,000 under the capital line which requires monthly installments in principal of approximately $8,700 plus interest, starting June 1, 2022. The advance was used to purchase the underlying asset under a previous finance lease.

On March 29, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan Agreement with its lender which provided, among other things, the following:

	●	waived the Company’s failure to meet the minimum quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) requirement for the fourth quarter of 2021;
	●	removes the quarterly FCCR testing requirement for the first quarter of 2022;
	●	reinstates the quarterly FCCR testing requirement starting for the second quarter of 2022 and revises the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR for the quarters ending June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 (with no change to the minimum 1.15:1 ratio requirement for each quarter);
	●	requires maintenance of a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under the revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 has been met and certified to the lender; and
	●	revises the annual rate used to calculate the Facility Fee (as defined in the Loan Agreement) on the revolving credit, with addition of the capital expenditure line, from 0.375% to 0.500%. Upon meeting the minimum FCCR requirement of 1.15:1 on a twelve months trailing basis, the Facility Fee rate of 0.375% will be reinstated.

In connection with the amendment, we paid PNC a fee of $15,000 which is being amortized over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement, as amended, as interest expense-financing fees.

The Company’s credit facility under its Loan Agreement, as amended, with PNC contains certain financial covenants, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our credit facility allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The Company was not required to perform testing of the FCCR requirement in the first quarter of 2022 pursuant to the March 29, 2022 amendment as discussed above, otherwise, it met all of its other financial covenant requirements in the first quarter of 2022. The Company failed to meet it FCCR requirement in the second quarter of 2022; however, this non-compliance was waived by the Company’s lender pursuant to an amendment to our Loan Agreement dated August 2, 2022 (See “Note 15 – Subsequent Event – Credit Facility” for a discussion of this waiver and additional provisions of this amendment). Other than the FCCR, the Company met all of its other financial covenant requirements in the second quarter of 2022.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended, payment of annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit is at prime (4.75% at June 30, 2022) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3.00% and the term loan and the capital expenditure line at prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50%. Under the LIBOR option of interest payment, a LIBOR floor of 0.75% applies in the event that LIBOR falls below 0.75% at any point in time.

The Company may terminate its Loan Agreement, as amended, upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of our obligations under the Loan Agreement. No early termination fee will apply if the Company pays off its obligations under the Loan Agreement after May 7, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, the borrowing availability under the Company’s revolving credit was approximately $4,754,000 based on our eligible receivables and includes a reduction in borrowing availability of approximately $3,020,000 from outstanding standby letters of credit.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Hazardous Waste

In connection with our waste management services, the Company processes hazardous, non-hazardous, low-level radioactive and mixed (containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive) 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 at the disposal site, the Company could be a potentially responsible party for the costs of the cleanup notwithstanding any absence of fault on our part.

Legal Matters

In the normal course of conducting our business, we may be involved in various litigation. 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 could would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of future operations.

Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”)

During July 2020, Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”) against CH2M Hill, Inc. (“CH2M”) and four subcontractors of CH2M, including the Company (“Defendants”). The complaint alleges various claims, including a claim for negligence, negligent misrepresentation, equitable indemnification and related business claims against all defendants related to alleged damages suffered by Tetra Tech in respect of certain draft reports prepared by defendants at the request of the U.S. Navy as part of an investigation and review of certain whistleblower complaints about Tetra Tech’s environmental restoration at the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco.

CH2M was hired by the Navy in 2016 to review Tetra Tech’s work. CH2M subcontracted with environmental consulting and cleanup firms Battelle Memorial Institute, Cabrera Services, Inc., SC&A, Inc. and the Company to assist with the review, according to the complaint.

Our insurance carrier is providing a defense on our behalf in connection with this lawsuit, subject to a $100,000 self-insured retention and the terms and limitations contained in the insurance policy.

The majority of Tetra Tech’s claims have been dismissed by the Court. Remaining claims include: (1) Intentional Interference with Contractual Relations; and (2) Inducing a Breach of Contract. The Company continues to believe it does not have any liability to Tetra Tech.

Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”)

During the fourth quarter of 2021, PF Canada received a Notice of Termination (“NOT”) from Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, LTD. (“CNL”) on a Task Order Agreement (“TOA”) that PF Canada entered into with CNL in May 2019 for remediation work within Ontario, Canada (“Agreement”). The NOT was received after work under the TOA was substantially completed and work under the TOA has since been completed. CNL may terminate the TOA at any time for convenience. As of June 30, 2022, PF Canada has approximately $2,750,000 in unpaid receivables and unbilled costs due from CNL as a result of work performed under the TOA. Additionally, CNL has approximately $1,115,000 in contractual holdback under the TOA that is payable to PF Canada. CNL also established a bond securing approximately $1,900,000 (CAD) to cover certain issue raised in connection with the TOA. Under the TOA, CNL may be entitled to set off certain costs and expenses incurred by CNL in connection with the termination of the TOA, including the bond as discussed above, against amounts owed to PF Canada for work performed by PF Canada or its subcontractors. PF Canada continues to be in discussions with CNL to finalize the amounts due to PF Canada under the TOA and continues to believes these amounts are due and payable.

Insurance

The Company has a 25-year finite risk insurance policy entered into in June 2003 (“2003 Closure Policy”) with AIG Specialty Insurance Company (“AIG”), which provides financial assurance to the applicable states for our permitted facilities in the event of unforeseen closure. The 2003 Closure Policy, as amended, provides for a maximum allowable coverage of $28,177,000 which includes available capacity to allow for annual inflation and other performance and surety bond requirements. Total coverage under the 2003 Closure Policy, as amended, was $21,175,000 at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, finite risk sinking funds contributed by the Company related to the 2003 Closure Policy which is included in other long term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $11,511,000 and $11,471,000, respectively, which included interest earned of $2,040,000 and $2,000,000 on the finite risk sinking funds as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $29,000 and $40,000, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $2,000 and $21,000, respectively. If we so elect, AIG is obligated to pay the Company an amount equal to 100% of the finite risk sinking fund account balance in return for complete release of liability from both the Company and any applicable regulatory agency using this policy as an instrument to comply with financial assurance requirements.

Letter of Credits and Bonding Requirements

From time to time, the Company is required to post standby letters of credit and various bonds to support contractual obligations to customers and other obligations, including facility closures. At June 30, 2022, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding was approximately $3,020,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding was approximately $53,148,000.

10. Discontinued Operations

The Company’s discontinued operations consist of all our subsidiaries included in our previous Industrial Segment which encompasses subsidiaries divested in 2011 and prior and three previously closed locations.

The Company’s discontinued operations had net losses of $188,000 (net of tax benefit of $18,000) and $127,000 (net of taxes of $0) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and net losses of $282,000 (net of tax benefit of $80,000) and $242,000 (net of taxes of $0) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The losses were primarily due to costs incurred in the administration and continued monitoring of our discontinued operations. The Company’s discontinued operations had no revenues for each of the periods noted above.

The following table presents the major class of assets of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. No assets and liabilities were held for sale at each of the periods noted.

11. Operating Segments

In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company defines an operating segment as a business activity: (1) from which we may earn revenue and incur expenses; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

Our reporting segments are defined as below:

TREATMENT SEGMENT, 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 primarily through four uniquely licensed and permitted treatment and storage facilities; and
	-	R&D activities to identify, develop and implement innovative waste processing techniques for problematic waste streams.

SERVICES SEGMENT, which includes:

Technical services, which include:

	○	professional radiological measurement and site survey of large government and commercial installations using advanced methods, technology and engineering;
	○	integrated Occupational Safety and Health services including industrial hygiene (“IH”) assessments; hazardous materials surveys, e.g., exposure monitoring; lead and asbestos management/abatement oversight; indoor air quality evaluations; health risk and exposure assessments; health & safety plan/program development, compliance auditing and training services; and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) citation assistance;
	○	global technical services providing consulting, engineering, project management, waste management, environmental, and decontamination and decommissioning field, technical, and management personnel and services to commercial and government customers; and
	○	on-site waste management services to commercial and governmental customers.

Nuclear services, which include:

	○	technology-based services including engineering, decontamination and decommissioning (“D&D”), specialty services and construction, logistics, transportation, processing and disposal;
	○	remediation of nuclear licensed and federal facilities and the remediation cleanup of nuclear legacy sites. Such services capability includes: project investigation; radiological engineering; partial and total plant D&D; facility decontamination, dismantling, demolition, and planning; site restoration; logistics; transportation; and emergency response; and

A company owned equipment calibration and maintenance laboratory that services, maintains, calibrates, and sources (i.e., rental) health physics, IH and customized nuclear, environmental, and occupational safety and health (“NEOSH”) instrumentation.

The Company’s segment also included the Medical Segment in 2021. As previously discussed, the Company made the strategic decision to cease all R&D activities under the Medical Segment and sold 100% of its interest in PFM Poland (which comprised the Medical Segment) in December 2021. The Company’s Medical Segment had not generated any revenue and was involved in the Company’s medical isotope production technology.

Our reporting segments exclude our corporate headquarters and our discontinued operations (see “Note 10 – Discontinued Operations”) which do not generate revenues.

The table below presents certain financial information of our operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

⁽⁴⁾

Net of financed amount of $0 and $29,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

12. Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”) and Accrued Closure Costs

Accrued closure costs represent our estimated environmental liability to clean up our fixed-based regulated facilities as required by our permits, in the event of closure. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a total of $361,000 in additional estimated closure liabilities (within long-term liabilities) and ARO in connection with the footprint expansion at one of our facilities and an update to a processing enclosure area at another facility. The ARO is reported as a component of “Net property and equipment” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2022.

13. Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes.

The Company had income tax expenses of $347,000 and $13,000 for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and income tax benefits of $326,000 and $4,000 for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (38.1%) and 0.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and 11.5% and 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were impacted by non-deductible expenses and state taxes. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were impacted by non-deductible expenses, state taxes, and by the Company’s full valuation on its net deferred tax assets which was subsequently released partially in the third quarter of 2021. The tax expense and negative effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily driven by the change in forecasted income for the year which resulted in a reduction in the estimated annual effective tax rate and a reduction in the year to date tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

14. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

The Company and Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. (“ERRG”) previously entered into an unpopulated joint venture agreement for project work bids within the Company’s Services Segment with the joint venture doing business as Perma-Fix ERRG, a general partnership. The Company has a 51% partnership interest in the joint venture and ERRG has a 49% partnership interest in the joint venture.

The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested meet the criteria of a VIE at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. A VIE is a legal entity that satisfies any of the following characteristics: (a) the legal entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk; (b) the equity investors at risk as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (c) the legal entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights.

The Company consolidates a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Based on the Company’s evaluation of Perma-Fix ERRG and related agreements with Perma-Fix ERRG, the Company determined that Perma-Fix ERRG continues to be a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2022, Perma-Fix ERRG had total assets of $105,000 and total liabilities of approximately $105,000 which are all recorded as current.

15. Subsequent Events

Management evaluated events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2021 through August 5, 2022, the date these consolidated financial statements were available for issuance, and other than as noted below determined that no material recognizable subsequent events occurred.

Credit Facility

On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan Agreement with its lender which provided the following, among other things:

	●	waived the Company’s failure to meet the minimum quarterly FCCR requirement for the second quarter of 2022;
	●	removes the quarterly FCCR testing requirement for the third quarter of 2022;
	●	reinstates the quarterly FCCR testing requirement starting for the fourth quarter of 2022 and revises the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR for the quarters ending December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 (with no change to the minimum 1.15:1 ratio requirement for each quarter);
	●	requires maintenance of a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under the revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 has been met and certified to the lender.

In connection with the amendment, we paid our lender a fee of $15,000.

Overview

Revenue increased by $3,310,000 or 20.5% to $19,455,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $16,145,000 for the corresponding period of 2021. Services Segment revenue increased to $11,062,000 from $8,439,000 or approximately 31.1%. The increase was primarily due to resumed/increased work under certain projects which had been delayed/curtailed due to COVID-19 impact and/or administrative delays experienced by certain customers since the award of the projects to us late in the second quarter of 2021. Treatment Segment revenue increased by $687,000 or approximately 8.9% for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the corresponding period of 2021 primarily due to higher waste volume. As previously disclosed, our Treatment Segment continued to experience delays in waste receipts from certain customers due, in part, from the impact of COVID-19; however, since the latter part of the second quarter of 2022, our Treatment Segment has begun to see improvements in waste receipts which is reflected in our Treatment Segment waste backlog of $7,169,000 at June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $1,048,000 or 17.1% from the balance of $6,121,000 at March 31, 2022. Within our Treatment Segment, we continue to experience a large increase in proposal requests. Additionally, we continue to have bids currently submitted in both segments and awaiting awards. At this time, we expect to see continued improvements in waste receipts and increase work from projects for the remainder of 2022, subject to potential impact of COVID-19 and other impact (See “COVID-19 and Other Impacts” below for a discussion of uncertainties that COVID-19 and other economic impacts may have on the Company’s future results of operations). Gross profit increased $1,918,000 or 198.6% where we saw higher gross profit in both segments. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $687,000 or 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period of 2021.

Revenue decreased by $3,908,000 or 9.9% to $35,370,000 for the six month ended June 30, 2022 from $39,278,000 for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was entirely within our Services Segment where revenue decreased to $19,498,000 from $24,077,000 or approximately 19.0%. As previously disclosed, work under certain of the new projects awarded to our Services Segment at the end of the second quarter of 2021 continued to be delayed/curtailed into most of the first quarter of 2022 due to COVID-19 impact and/or administrative delays experienced by certain customers. However, as discussed above, work under these projects has mostly resumed/increased in the second quarter of 2022. The lower revenue in the first six months of 2022 was further exacerbated by the completion of a large project in the second quarter of 2021 which was not replaced with a similar size contract because of delays in contract awards and procurement from COVID-19 impact in the first half of 2021. Our Treatment Segment revenue increased by $671,000 or 4.4%. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from the second quarter of 2022 as discussed above. Gross profit increased $1,198,000 or 36.1% due to increase in gross profit within our Services Segment. SG&A expenses increased $904,000 or 14.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period of 2021.

COVID-19 and Other Impacts

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, our financial results have been impacted by delays in waste shipments from certain customers, delays in procurement actions and contract awards, and delays/curtailment in work under projects. However, as disclosed above, we have begun to see waste receipt improvements and work under projects resume/increase as our customers continue to ease up on COVID-19 restrictions. Additionally, we continue to see a large increase in proposal requests within our Treatment Segment and have submitted bids awaiting awards in both segments. At this time, we expect these trends to continue for the remainder of the year; however, such may not be the case based on the uncertainty of COVID-19 and how our customers respond to COVID-19. Even if the pandemic subsides, we may continue to experience adverse effect on our business and financial results because of economic impact, including labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, as well as continued inflation or potential recession (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties” – “Supply Chain” and “Inflation and Cost Increases” within this MD&A).

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At June 30, 2022, we had borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of approximately $4,754,000 which was based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. As a result of a recent amendment to our Loan Agreement that we entered into with our lender, we are required to maintain a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under our revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 has been met and certified to our lender (see “Financing Activities” within this MD&A for a discussion of this amendment). We continue to assess the need in reducing operating costs during this volatile time, which may include curtailing certain capital expenditures and eliminating non-essential expenditures.

We continue to closely monitor our customers’ payment performance. However, since a significant portion of our revenues is derived from government related contracts, we do not expect our accounts receivable collections to be materially impacted due to COVID-19.

As the situations surrounding COVID-19 and the countries’ economic conditions continue to remain fluid, the full impact and extent of the pandemic and the countries’ economic conditions on our financial results and liquidity cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty. We continue to closely monitor the impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the countries’ economic conditions on all aspects of our business.

Business Environment

Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continues to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to governmental clients, primarily as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors to government entities or directly as the prime contractor. We believe demand for our services will continue to be subject to fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, the economic conditions, the manner in which the applicable government will be required to spend funding to remediate various sites, and/or potential further impact from COVID-19. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites in the United States are generally subject to termination for convenience at any time at the government’s option, and our governmental contracts/task orders with the Canadian government authorities also allow the authorities to terminate the contract/task orders at any time for convenience. Our work under all of our contracts/task order agreements with Canadian government authorities has substantially been completed. See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”)” for additional discussion as to a terminated Canadian TOA. Significant reductions in the level of governmental funding or specifically mandated levels for different programs that are important to our business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We are continually reviewing methods to raise additional capital to supplement our liquidity requirements, when needed, and reducing our operating costs. We continue to aggressively bid on various contracts, including potential contracts within the international.

Results of Operations

The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to our two reportable segments: The Treatment and Services. Our financial results for 2021 also included our Medical Segments. As previously disclosed, we made the strategic decision to cease all R&D activities under the Medical Segment and sold 100% of our interest in PFM Poland (which comprised the Medical Segment) in December 2021. Our Medical Segment had not generated any revenue and was involved in our medical isotope production technology. All costs previously incurred by the Medical Segment were included within R&D.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues increased $3,310,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, as follows:

⁽¹⁾Includes wastes generated by government clients of $641,000 and $544,000 for the three month ended June 30, 2022 and the corresponding period of 2021, respectively.

Treatment Segment revenue increased by $687,000 or 8.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 over the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher waste volume. Since the latter part of the second quarter of 2022, our Treatment Segment has begun to see improvements in waste receipts from certain customers who have been delaying waste shipments due, in part, to impact of COVID-19. Services Segment revenue increased by approximately $2,623,000 or 31.1%. The increase was primarily due to resumed/increased work under certain projects which had been delayed/curtailed due to COVID-19 impact and/or administrative delays experienced by certain customers since the award of these projects to us late in the second quarter of 2021. As previously disclosed, the delays/curtailments continued to impact our revenue into most of the first quarter of 2022. Our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration and completion of each project vary. As a result, our Services Segment revenues are subject to differences relating to timing and project value.

Consolidated revenues decreased $3,908,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, as follows:

(In thousands)	2022		% Revenue		2021		% Revenue		Change			% Change

⁽¹⁾Includes wastes generated by government clients of $1,111,000 and $1,289,000 for the six month ended June 30, 2022 and the corresponding period of 2021, respectively.

Treatment Segment revenue increased by $671,000 or 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased waste volume from government generators. The decrease in Other nuclear waste was primarily due to lower averaged price waste. As disclosed in our second quarter revenue discussion above, since the latter part of the second quarter of 2022, our Treatment Segment has begun to see improvements in waste receipts from certain customers who have delayed waste shipments due, in part, to impact of COVID-19. This improvement is reflected in our Treatment Segment waste backlog of $7,169,000 at June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $1,048,000 from the balance of $6,121,000 at March 31, 2022. Services Segment revenue decreased by approximately $4,579,000 or 19.0%. As previously disclosed, work under certain of the new projects awarded to our Services Segment at the end of the second quarter of 2021 continued to be delayed/curtailed into most of the first quarter of 2022 due to COVID-19 impact and/or administrative delays experienced by certain customers. However, as noted in our second quarter 2022 revenue discussion above, work under these projects has resumed/increased in the second quarter of 2022. The lower revenue in the first six months of 2022 was further exacerbated by the completion of a large project in the second quarter of 2021 which was not replaced with a similar size contract because of delays in contract awards and procurement from COVID-19 impact in the first half of 2021. Our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration and completion of each project vary. As a result, our Services Segment revenues are subject to differences relating to timing and project value.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $1,392,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as follows:

			%				%

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $557,000 or 8.9%. Treatment Segment’s variable costs increased by approximately $231,000 primarily in transportation, material and supplies and outside services costs. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $326,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by $73,000 due to higher headcount and also in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which lowered prior year quarter payroll costs; general expenses were higher by $138,000 mostly due to higher utility costs; depreciation expenses were higher by approximately $68,000 due to depreciation for asset retirement obligations in connection with our EWOC facility; regulatory expenses were higher by approximately $16,000; maintenance costs were higher by approximately $54,000; and travel expenses were lower by approximately $23,000. Services Segment cost of goods sold increased $835,000 or 9.4% primarily due to higher revenue. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to higher material and supplies, travel and general costs totaling approximately $1,033,000 which was offset by lower payroll and outside services costs. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $464,000 and $394,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Cost of goods sold decreased $5,106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, as follows:

			%				%

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $828,000 or 6.4%. Treatment Segment’s variable costs increased by approximately $227,000 primarily due to higher material and supplies, transportation, and outside services costs. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $601,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by $120,000 due to higher headcount and also in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which reduced the first six months prior year payroll costs; general expenses were higher by $285,000 mostly due to higher utility costs; depreciation expenses were higher by approximately $128,000 due to depreciation for asset retirement obligations in connection with our EWOC facility; regulatory expenses were higher by approximately $31,000; maintenance costs were higher by approximately $50,000; and travel expenses were lower by approximately $13,000. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $5,934,000 or 25.7% primarily due to lower revenue. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to lower salaries/payroll related, material and supplies and outside services costs totaling approximately $6,259,000 which was offset by higher regulatory, travel and general expenses. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $902,000 and $787,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Gross Profit (Negative Gross Profit)

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $1,918,000 over the same period in 2021, as follows:

			%					%

Total	$	2,884		14.8	$	966			6.0		$	1,918

Treatment Segment gross profit increased by $130,000 or 9.1% due to higher revenue and gross margin remained constant as compared to the corresponding period of last year. Services Segment gross profit increased by $1,788,000 or 382.9% and gross margin increased from (5.5%) to 11.9% due to higher revenue and more higher margin projects. Our overall Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1,198,000 over 2021, as follows:

			%				%
(In thousands)	2022		Revenue		2021		Revenue		Change
Treatment	$	2,201		13.9	$	2,358		15.5	$	(157	)
Services		2,319		11.9		964		4.0		1,355
Total	$	4,520		12.8	$	3,322		8.5	$	1,198

Treatment Segment gross profit decreased by $157,000 or 6.7% and gross margin decreased to 13.9% from 15.5% primarily due to revenue mix and the impact of our fixed costs. Services Segment gross profit increased by $1,355,000 or 140.6% and gross margin increased from 4.0% to 11.9% primarily due to higher revenue and more higher margin projects. Our overall Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

SG&A

SG&A expenses increased $687,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period for 2021, as follows:

(In thousands)	2022		% Revenue		2021		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	1,764		—	$	1,291		—	$	473
Treatment		1,119		13.3		901		11.7		218
Services		801		7.2		805		9.5		(4	)
Total	$	3,684		18.9	$	2,997		18.6	$	687

Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: overall outside services expenses were higher by approximately $146,000 from higher consulting/legal/audit fees; travel expenses were higher by approximately $14,000; general expenses were higher by approximately $20,000 in various categories; and salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $293,000 due to higher stock-based compensation expenses from options granted to certain employees in October 2021 and in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which lowered prior year quarter payroll costs. The higher salaries and payroll related expenses in Administrative SG&A also resulted from higher 401(k) plan matching expenses as our payroll expenses in the second quarter of 2021 included forfeitures of 401(k) plan matching funds contributed by us for former employees who failed to meet the 401(k) plan vesting requirements. Additionally, Administrative salaries and payroll related expenses were higher in the quarter as in 2021, resources were allocated in supporting Medical Segment’s R&D/administrative functions. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $148,000 from higher headcount and in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which lowered prior year quarter payroll costs; outside services expense were higher by $57,000 due to more consulting/business matters (including our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives); travel expense were higher by approximately $21,000; and general expenses were lower by $8,000. The slight decrease in Services Segment SG&A was primarily due to lower salaries/payroll related and consulting expenses totaling approximately $24,000 as in 2021, increased hours and consulting costs were spent on bid and proposal efforts. The overall decrease was offset by higher general and travel expense totaling approximately $20,000. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $16,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

SG&A expenses increased $904,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period for 2021, as follows:

(In thousands)	2022		% Revenue		2021		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	3,451		—	$	2,662		—	$	789
Treatment		2,159		13.6		1,880		12.4		279
Services		1,496		7.7		1,660		6.9		(164	)
Total	$	7,106		20.1	$	6,202		15.8	$	904

Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: overall outside services expenses were higher by approximately $332,000 resulting from higher consulting/legal/audit fees; travel expenses were higher by approximately $26,000; general expenses were higher by approximately $20,000 in various categories; and salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $411,000 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expenses from options granted to certain employees in October 2021 and in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which reduced the first six months prior year payroll costs. The higher salaries and payroll related expenses in Administrative SG&A also resulted from higher 401(k) plan matching expenses as our payroll expenses in the first six months of 2021 included forfeitures of 401(k) plan matching funds contributed by us for former employees who failed to meet the 401(k) plan vesting requirements. Additionally, Administrative salaries and payroll related expenses were higher as in 2021, resources were allocated in supporting Medical Segment’s R&D/administrative functions. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $143,000 from higher headcount and in the prior year, more vacation hours were used by employees which reduced the first six months prior year payroll costs; outside services expense were higher by $44,000 due to more consulting/business matters (including our ESG initiatives); travel expense were higher by approximately $56,000; and general expenses were higher by 36,000 in various categories. The decrease in SG&A expenses within our Services Segment was primarily due to the following: salaries/payroll related and consulting expenses were lower by approximately $154,000 as in 2021, increased hours and consulting costs were spent on bid and proposal efforts; bad debt expenses were lower by approximately $34,000; general expenses were slightly higher by $7,000 and travel expenses were higher by approximately $17,000. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $34,000 and $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

R&D

R&D expenses decreased $64,000 and $119,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2021.

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2022		2021		Change			2022		2021		Change
Administrative	$	13	$	10	$	3		$	29	$	24	$	5
Treatment		59		43		16			124		90		34
Services		8		19		(11	)		23		32		(9	)

Total	$	80	$	144	$	(64	)	$	176	$	295	$	(119	)

R&D costs consist primarily of employee salaries and benefits, laboratory costs, third party fees, and other related costs associated with the development of new technologies and technological enhancement of new potential waste treatment processes. The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of PF Poland in December 2021 which comprised of our Medical Segment and which previously was involved in the R&D of our medical isotope technology.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by approximately $27,000 and $19,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2021 primarily due to higher interest earned from lower finite risk sinking fund.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $24,000 and $56,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2021 primarily due to lower interest expense from our declining term loan balance outstanding. Also, interest expense for the first six months of 2021 included interest accrued for our Paycheck Protection Program Loan which was forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration effective June 15, 2021.

Income Taxes

We had income tax expenses of $347,000 and $13,000 for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and income tax benefits of $326,000 and $4,000 for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates were approximately (38.1%) and 0.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and 11.5% and 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were impacted by non-deductible expenses and state taxes. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were impacted by non-deductible expenses, state taxes, and by the full valuation on our net deferred tax assets which was subsequently released partially in the third quarter of 2021. The tax expense and negative effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily driven by the change in forecasted income for the year which resulted in a reduction in the estimated annual effective tax rate and a reduction in the year to date tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flow requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily financed by our operations, cash on hand and credit facility availability. Subject to COVID-19 and other impacts as discussed above, our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, remediation projects, and planned capital expenditures. We plan to fund these requirements from our operations, credit facility availability, and cash on hand. We continue to explore all sources of increasing our capital to supplement our liquidity requirements, when needed, and to improve our revenue and working capital. We are continually reviewing operating costs and reviewing the possibility of further reducing operating costs and non-essential expenditures to bring them in line with revenue levels, when necessary. At this time, we believe that our cash flows from operations, our available liquidity from our credit facility, and our cash on hand should be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. However, due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 as disclosed in “COVID-19 and Other Impacts” within this MD&A, there are no assurances such will be the case.

The following table reflects the cash flow activities during the first six months of 2022:

(In thousands)
Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations	$	(2,690	)
Cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations		(367	)
Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations		(733	)
Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations		(444	)
Effect of exchange rate changes in cash		(3	)
Decrease in cash and finite risk sinking fund (restricted cash)	$	(4,237	)

At June 30, 2022, we were in a positive cash position with no revolving credit balance. At June 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of approximately $163,000, which included account balances of our foreign subsidiaries totaling approximately $36,000.

Operating Activities

Accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, totaled $12,956,000 at June 30, 2022, an increase of $1,584,000 from the December 31, 2021 balance of $11,372,000. The increase was attributed to invoicing for work performed which previously was in our unbilled account for a certain Canadian project (see unbilled receivables discussion below). Also, our contracts with our customers are subject to various payment terms and conditions; therefore, our accounts receivable are impacted by these terms and conditions and the related timing of accounts receivable collections. Additionally, contracts with our customers may sometimes result in modifications which can cause delays in collections. See discussion under “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”) for a discussion as to certain account receivable.

Unbilled receivables totaled $6,348,000 at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2,647,000 from the December 31, 2021 balance of $8,995,000. The decrease in unbilled receivables was primarily within our Services Segment due to invoicing in connection with our Canadian projects.

Accounts payable, totaled $10,725,000 at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1,250,000 from the December 31, 2021 balance of $11,975,000. Our accounts payable are impacted by the timing of payments as we are continually managing payment terms with our vendors to maximize our cash position throughout all segments.

We had working capital of $1,121,000 (which included working capital of our discontinued operations) at June 30, 2022, as compared to working capital of $4,060,000 at December 31, 2021. Our working capital was negatively impacted primarily by our results of operations which were heavily impacted from COVID-19 and other delays, especially in the first quarter of 2022 as discussed above. Additionally, our working capital was negatively impacted by the reclass of approximately $400,000 in remediation reserve within our discontinued operations from long-term to current.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our purchases of capital equipment totaled approximately $872,000, of which $114,000 was subject to financing, with the remaining funded from cash from operations and our credit facility. We have budgeted approximately $2,000,000 for 2022 capital expenditures primarily for our Treatment and Services Segments to maintain operations and regulatory compliance requirements and support revenue growth. Certain of these budgeted projects may either be delayed until later years or deferred altogether. We plan to fund our capital expenditures from cash from operations and/or financing. The initiation and timing of projects are also determined by financing alternatives or funds available for such capital projects.

During March 2022, we signed a joint venture term sheet addressing plans to partner with Springfields Fuels Limited (“SFL”), an affiliate of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, to develop and manage a nuclear waste-materials treatment facility (the “Facility”) in the United Kingdom. The Facility is for the purpose of expanding the partners’ waste treatment capabilities for the European nuclear market. It is expected that upon finalization of a partnership agreement, SFL will have an ownership interest of fifty-five (55) percent and our interest will be forty-five (45) percent. The finalization, form and capitalization of this unpopulated partnership is subject to numerous conditions, including but not limited to, winning a certain contract, completion and execution of a definitive agreement and facility design, and the granting of required regulatory, lender or permitting approvals. Upon finalization of this venture, we will be required to make an investment in this venture. The amount of our investment, the period of which it is to be made and the method of funding are to be determined.

Financing Activities

We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 8, 2020 (“Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Loan Agreement provides us with the following credit facility with a maturity date of March 15, 2024: (a) up to $18,000,000 revolving credit (“revolving credit”) and (b) a term loan (“term loan”) of approximately $1,742,000, requiring monthly installments of $35,547. The maximum that we can borrow under the revolving credit is based on a percentage of eligible receivables (as defined) at any one time reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit and borrowing reductions that our lender may impose from time to time. Our Loan Agreement, as amended, also provides a capital expenditure line of up to $1,000,000 with advances on the line, subject to certain limitations, permitted for up to twelve months starting May 4, 2021 (the “Borrowing Period”). Only interest is payable on advances during the Borrowing Period. At the end of the Borrowing Period, the total amount advanced under the line will amortize equally based on a five-year amortization schedule with principal payment due monthly plus interest. At the maturity date of the Loan Agreement, as amended, any unpaid principal balance plus interest, if any, will become due. At the end of the Borrowing Period, advance on the capital line totaled approximately $524,000. We are required to make monthly principal installment payment of approximately $8,700 starting June 1, 2022 plus interest. At June 30, 2022, balance on the capital line was approximately $515,000. The advance made on the capital line was used to purchase the underlying asset under a previous finance lease.

On March 29, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Loan Agreement with our lender which provided, among other things, the following:

	●	waived our failure to meet the minimum quarterly FCCR requirement for the fourth quarter of 2021;
	●	removes the quarterly FCCR testing requirement for the first quarter of 2022;
	●	reinstates the quarterly FCCR testing requirement starting for the second quarter of 2022 and revises the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR for the quarters ending June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 (with no change to the minimum 1.15:1 ratio requirement for each quarter);
	●	requires maintenance of a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under the revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 has been met and certified to the lender; and
	●	revises the annual rate used to calculate the Facility Fee (as defined in the Loan Agreement) on the revolving credit, with addition of the capital expenditure line, from 0.375% to 0.500%. Upon meeting the minimum FCCR requirement of 1.15:1 on a twelve months trailing basis, the Facility Fee rate of 0.375% will be reinstated.

In connection with the amendment, we paid our lender a fee of $15,000 which is being amortized over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement, as amended, as interest expense-financing fees.

Our credit facility under our Loan Agreement, as amended, with PNC contains certain financial covenants, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our credit facility allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. We were not required to perform testing of the FCCR requirement in the first quarter of 2022 pursuant to the March 29, 2022 amendment as discussed above; otherwise, we met all of our other financial covenant requirements in the first quarter of 2022. We failed to meet our FCCR requirement in the second quarter of 2022; however, this non-compliance was waived by our lender pursuant to an amendment to our Loan Agreement dated August 2, 2022 as discussed below. Other than the FCCR, we met all of our other financial covenant requirements in the second quarter of 2022. We expect to meet our quarterly financial covenant requirements for the next twelve months under our Loan Agreement.

On August 2, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Loan Agreement with our lender which provided the following, among other things:

	●	waived our failure to meet the minimum quarterly FCCR requirement for the second quarter of 2022;
	●	removes the quarterly FCCR testing requirement for the third quarter of 2022;
	●	reinstates the quarterly FCCR testing requirement starting for the fourth quarter of 2022 and revises the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR for the quarters ending December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 (with no change to the minimum 1.15:1 ratio requirement for each quarter);
	●	requires maintenance of a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under the revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 has been met and certified to the lender.

In connection with the amendment, we paid our lender a fee of $15,000.

Pursuant to our Loan Agreement, as amended, payment of annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit is at prime (4.75% at June 30, 2022) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3.00% and the term loan and capital expenditure line at prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50%. Under the LIBOR option of interest payment, a LIBOR floor of 0.75% applies in the event that LIBOR falls below 0.75% at any point in time.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, we are required to post standby letters of credit and various bonds to support contractual obligations to customers and other obligations, including facility closures. At June 30, 2022, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $3,020,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $53,148,000. We also provide closure and post-closure requirements through a financial assurance policy for certain of our Treatment Segment facilities through AIG. At June 30, 2022, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $21,175,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no significant changes in our accounting policies or critical accounting estimates that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for the recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the first six months of 2022, or will be adopted in future periods.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Significant Customers. Our Treatment and Services Segments have significant relationships with the U.S governmental authorities through contracts entered into indirectly as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors or directly as the prime contractor to government authorities. We also had significant relationships with Canadian government authorities primarily through TOAs entered into with Canadian government authorities. Project work under all TOAs with Canadian government authorities has substantially been completed. The contracts that we are a party to with others as subcontractors to the U.S federal government or directly with the U.S federal government generally provide that the government may terminate the contract at any time for convenience at the government’s option. The contracts/TOAs that we are a party to with Canadian governmental authorities also generally provide that the government authorities may terminate the contracts/TOAs at any time for any reason for convenience. Our inability to continue under existing contracts that we have with the U.S government (directly or indirectly as a subcontractor) or significant reductions in the level of governmental funding in any given year could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition.

We performed services relating to waste generated by government clients (domestic and foreign (primarily Canadian)), either directly as a prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to government entities, representing approximately $17,053,000 or 87.7% and $31,211,000 or 88.2% of our total revenues generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $13,671,000 or 84.7% and $33,828,000 or 86.1% of our total revenues generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Impact. See “COVID-19 and Other Impacts” within this MD&A for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 and other on our financial results and the potential impact it may have on our future financial results and business operations.

Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”)

During the fourth quarter of 2021, PF Canada received a Notice of Termination (“NOT”) from CNL on a TOA that PF Canada entered into with CNL in May 2019 for remediation work within Ontario, Canada (“Agreement”). The NOT was received after work under the TOA was substantially completed and work under the TOA has since been completed. CNL may terminate the TOA at any time for convenience. As of June 30, 2022, PF Canada has approximately $2,750,000 in unpaid receivables and unbilled costs due from CNL as a result of work performed under the TOA. Additionally, CNL has approximately $1,115,000 in contractual holdback under the TOA that is payable to PF Canada. CNL also established a bond securing approximately $1,900,000 (CAD) to cover certain issue raised in connection with the TOA. Under the TOA, CNL may be entitled to set off certain costs and expenses incurred by CNL in connection with the termination of the TOA, including the bond as discussed above, against amounts owed to PF Canada for work performed by PF Canada or its subcontractors. PF Canada continues to be in discussions with CNL to finalize the amounts due to PF Canada under the TOA and continues to believes these amounts are due and payable.

Potential Partnership with Springfields Fuels Limited. As discussed above, we have signed a term sheet addressing plans to partner with Springfields Fuels Limited, an affiliate of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, to develop and manage a nuclear waste-materials treatment facility in the United Kingdom. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Investing Activities” of this MD&A for a discussion of this transaction.

Supply Chain. We use various commercially available materials and supplies which include among other things chemicals, containers/drums and personal protective equipment in our operations. We generally source these items from various suppliers in order to take advantage of competitive pricing.

We also utilize various types of equipment, which include among other things trucks, flatbeds, lab equipment, heavy machinery, in carrying out our business operations. Our equipment may be obtained through direct purchase, rental option or leases. Within our Services Segment, equipment required for projects are often provided by our subcontractors as part of our contract agreement with the subcontractor. Due to some of our specialized waste treatment processes, certain equipment that we utilize are designed and built to our specifications. We rely on various commercial equipment suppliers for the construction of these equipment. Due to supply chain challenges, we experienced a delay in the delivery of a new waste processing unit to us by our supplier due to shortage of parts required for the construction of the unit, among other things. Delivery of this unit was expected during the third quarter of 2021 but did not occur until the latter part of the first quarter of 2022. The supply chain interruption delayed deployment of our new technology which negatively impacted our revenue for 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 as associated revenue was not able to be generated. Deployment of this unit commenced in mid-May of 2022. Continued increases in pricing and/or potential delays in procurements of material and supplies and equipment required for our operations resulting from further tightening supply chain could further adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Inflation and Cost Increases. Continued increases in any of our operating costs, including further changes in fuel prices (which impacts our transportation costs), wage rates, supplies, and utility costs, may further increase our overall cost of goods sold or operating expenses. Some of these cost increases have been the result of inflationary pressures that could further reduce profitability. We may attempt to increase our sales prices in order to maintain satisfactory margin; however, competitive pressures in our industry may have the effect of inhibiting our ability to reflect these increased costs in the prices of our services that we provide to our customers and therefore reduce our profitability.

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 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. In the past, numerous third-party disposal sites have improperly managed waste 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 potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a remedial action site, which could have a material adverse effect.

We have three environmental remediation projects, all within our discontinued operations, which principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil, and, in most cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. We expect to fund the expenses to remediate these sites from funds generated from operations. At June 30, 2022, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $861,000, a decrease of $15,000 from the December 31, 2021 balance of $876,000. The decrease represents payments for remediation projects. At June 30, 2022, $751,000 of the total accrued environmental liabilities was recorded as current.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

	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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based on this recent assessment, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were not effective as of June 30, 2022 as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in more detail in our 2021 Form 10-K filing.

	As previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, management concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management did not have the appropriate controls in place over the determination of revenue recognition for nonroutine and complex revenue transactions in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in certain contracts that contained nonstandard terms and conditions.

	Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

	In order to remediate this material weakness, management has implemented its remediation plan which included the following:

	●	consultation with third-party expertise for guidance on large and/or unique contracts to ensure ASC 606 guidance are accurately applied and documented;
	●	updated our ASC 606 revenue templates to ensure unique contract provisions are able to be identified so ASC 606 guidance are applied accurately;
	●	instituted more robust collaboration with the Company’s operation personnel to identify nonstandard contract terms in order to determine appropriate treatment under ASC 606; and
	●	continue training of accounting and operations personnel on ASC 606 by subject matter experts and internal financial department to ensure proper application of guidance under ASC 606.

	Management is committed to improving our internal control processes and believes that the measures described above should remediate the material weakness identified and strengthen internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting resulting from the material weakness described above, additional measures to remediate the material weakness may be necessary. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. At this time, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described above, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period covered thereby.

(b)	Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

	Except for the remediation procedures implemented by the Company as described above, there have been no other change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
