East Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 25, 2001
(unaudited)

Reference is made herein to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of East Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation ("M&EC" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2000.

1.

Summary of Accounting Policies

 Nature of Operations. M&EC was formed in December 1997, to build and operate a mixed waste treatment facility to process waste pursuant to three broad spectrum contracts that were awarded to M&EC. We hired individuals with the skills to benefit our company, and during the period of construction we provided engineering and consulting services to the hazardous mixed waste storage, analysis, treatment and disposal industry. Primary customers of the Company are currently United States Department of Energy contractors. In June 1999, the Company obtained the necessary federal and state permits to operate a facility to treat low-level radioactive and hazardous waste. The Company completed construction of the treatment facility located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (the "Oak Ridge Facility"), in June 2001, and the Oak Ridge Facility became operational during the third quarter of 2001. The Company was acquired by Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc ("Perma-Fix"). effective June 25, 2001.

Significant Accounting Policies. Our accounting policies are as set forth in the notes to consolidated financial statements referred to above.

2.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company incurred approximately $8.0 million of additional costs to complete the construction of its treatment facility. The Company capitalized approximately $423,000 and $162,000 of interest expense to construction in progress during the six months ending June 25, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively.

3.

Perma-Fix Acquisition

On June 25, 2001, the Company was acquired by Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. ("Perma-Fix") pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 18, 2001, (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, all of the outstanding voting stock of the Company was acquired by Perma-Fix and the Company with (a) the Company acquiring 20% of its own outstanding shares of voting common stock (held as treasury stock), and (b) Perma-Fix acquiring all of the remaining outstanding shares of the Company's voting common stock (the "Acquisition"). As a result, Perma-Fix now owns all of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.

 

 

 

In March 2001, in contemplation of the Acquisition, the Company's Series A Preferred stockholders converted each preferred share into three shares of common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock was eliminated. In addition, the Company's Board authorized the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,467,396 were designated as Series B Preferred Stock as described below.

Perma-Fix issued 1,597,576 shares of its common stock valued at $2,396,000, or $1.50 per share, in exchange for all of the Company's remaining outstanding common stock. Of the common shares issued, 947,733 were issued in satisfaction of $357,600 of the Company's notes payable and $1,064,000 of long-term debt. In addition, as partial consideration of the Acquisition, the Company issued shares of its newly designated Series B Preferred Stock to former common shareholders of the Company having a stated value of approximately $1,285,000. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and non-convertible, has a $1.00 liquidation preference per share and may be redeemed at $1.00 per share at the option of the Company at any time after one year from the date of issuance. 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 the Company 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. As a condition to the closing of the acquisition, Perma-Fix also issued 346,666 shares of the Common Stock to certain creditors of the Company in satisfaction of $520,000 of the Company's liabilities, of which $350,000 was in satisfaction of an unsecured note payable. At the date of closing, Perma-Fix advanced funds to the Company to pay certain liabilities to the IRS ($50,000), 401(k) plans ($1,336,000) and certain long-term debt holders ($434,000), in the aggregate amount of $1,820,000.

Prior to the date of acquisition, Perma-Fix provided design and construction services under a subcontract agreement with the Company. As of the date of acquisition, Perma-Fix had loaned and advanced the Company approximately $2.3 million for working capital purposes and had billed approximately $9.8 million under the subcontract agreement, of which approximately $2,641,000 had been billed during 2000. As of December 31, 2000 and June 25, 2001, $3,754,410 and 12,122,000, respectively was due Perma-Fix for billings and advances related to the construction of the facility.

As a condition to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into an installment agreement with the IRS relating to withholding taxes owing by the Company in the amount of $923,496 ("Installment Agreement"). The Installment Agreement provides for the payment of such withholding taxes over a term of approximately eight years. In addition, as a condition to such closing, one of the Company's shareholders, Performance Development Corporation ("PDC"), and two corporations affiliated with PDC, PDC Services Corporation ("PDC Services") and Management Technologies, Inc. ("MTI") each entered into an installment agreement with the IRS relating to withholding taxes owing by 

 

 

each of PDC, PDC Services and MTI ("PDC Installment Agreement"). The PDC Installment Agreement provides for the payment of semi-annual installments over a term of eight years in the aggregate amount of approximately $3,714,000. The Installment Agreement and the PDC Installment Agreement provide that (a) Perma-Fix does not have any liability for any taxes, interest or penalty with respect to the Company, PDC, PDC Services or MTI; (b) the Company will be solely liable for paying the obligations of the Company under the Installment Agreement; (c) the IRS will not assert any liability against Perma-Fix, the Company or any current or future related affiliate of Perma-Fix for any tax, interest or penalty of PDC, PDC Services or MTI; and (d) as long as the payments by the Company under the Installment Agreement are made timely, the IRS will not file a notice of a federal tax lien, change or cancel the Installment Agreement. Perma-Fix did not acquire any interest in PDC, PDC Services or MTI. 

Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, PDC had advanced monies to, and performed certain services for the Company aggregating approximately $3,700,000. Amounts due to PDC for such advances and services were $4,490,000 and $5,050,000 at December 31, 2000 and June 25, 2001, respectively. In payment of such advances and services and as a condition to closing, the Company issued a promissory note, dated June 7, 2001, to PDC in the principal amount of approximately $3,700,000. The promissory note is payable over eight years to correspond to payments due to the IRS under the PDC Installment Agreement. PDC has directed the Company to make all payments under the promissory note directly to the IRS to be applied to PDC's obligations under the PDC Installment Agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, Perma-Fix also made corrective contributions to the Company's 401(k) Plan and to the PDC 401(k) Plan. The amounts paid to the PDC Plan by Perma-Fix reduced the Company's accounts payable to PDC.

The Company recently completed the construction of its low-level radioactive and hazardous waste ("mixed waste") treatment facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The 125,000 square-foot facility, located on the grounds of the Oak Ridge K-25 Weapons Facility of the Department of Energy ("DOE"), will use Perma-Fix's various proprietary technologies to treat mixed waste coming from governmental, institutional and commercial generators nationwide. The Company operates under both a hazardous waste treatment and storage permit and a license to store and treat low-level radioactive waste. The Company also has three subcontracts with Bechtel-Jacobs Company, LLC, DOE's site manager, which were awarded in 1998 and cover the treatment of legacy, operational and remediation nuclear waste. The facility began accepting waste in June 2001 and became fully operational during the third quarter of 2001.

Upon the acquisition of the Company, Perma-Fix accrued for the estimated closure costs, determined pursuant to RCRA guidelines, for the Company's facility. This accrual, recorded at $2,025,000, represents the potential future liability to close and remediate the facility, should such a cessation of operations ever occur. No insurance or third party 

 

 

 

 

recovery was taken into account in determining the cost estimates or reserve, nor do the cost estimates or reserve reflect any discount for present value purposes. These estimated closure costs were not accrued by the Company until June 2001 since the construction of the facility had not been substantially completed until then.
