Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

(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, 2011.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

We suggest 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, 2011.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”), “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU 2011-04 improves comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this guidance are to be applied prospectively, and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, and in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". Both ASUs amend guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. Although the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under existing guidance. Both ASUs were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. These ASUs changed our financial statement presentation of comprehensive income but did not impact our net income, financial position, or cash flows. Upon adoption on January 1, 2012, we elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements as part of the condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Index

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment” that gives companies the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU No. 2011-08 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

3.	Business Acquisition

On October 31, 2011, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Safety and Ecology Holdings Corporation (“SEHC”) and its subsidiaries, Safety & Ecology Corporation (“Safety & Ecology”), SEC Federal Services Corporation, Safety and Ecology Corporation Limited (“SECL” – a United Kingdom operation) and SEC Radcon Alliance, LLC (“SECRA”, which we own 75%), (collectively, “SEC”) pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2011 (“Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, Homeland Capital Security Corporation (“Homeland”) and SEHC. SEC is an international provider of environmental, hazardous and radiological remediation infrastructure upgrades and nuclear energy services. SEC provides remediation of nuclear materials for the U.S. government and other commercial customers. We acquired SEC for a total consideration of approximately $17,885,000 determined as follows:

(i)	cash consideration of approximately $14,885,000, after certain working capital closing adjustments. This cash consideration was reduced by approximately $1,000,000 total consideration for our Common Stock purchased from us by certain security holders of Homeland as discussed below;

(ii)

$2,500,000 unsecured, non-negotiable promissory note (the “Note”), bearing an annual rate of interest of 6%, payable in 36 monthly installments, which Note provides that we have the right to prepay such at any time without interest or penalty. We prepaid $500,000 of the principal amount of the Note within 10 days of closing of the acquisition. The Note may be subject to offset of amounts Homeland owes us for indemnification for breach of, or failure to perform, certain terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement if the Escrow Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms or the amount held in escrow has been exhausted pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Note, in the event of a continuing event of default under the Note, Homeland has the option to convert the unpaid portion of the Note into our restricted shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing the principal amount owing under the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus certain expenses, by the average of the closing prices per share of our Common Stock as reported by the primary national securities exchange or automatic quotation system on which our Common Stock is traded during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to receipt by us of Homeland’s written notice of its election to receive our Common Stock as a result of the event of default that is continuing; provided that the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued to Homeland under the Note in the event of a continuing event of default plus the number of shares of our Common Stock issued to the Management Investors, as discussed below, shall not exceed 19.9% of the voting power of all of our voting securities issued and outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement; and

Index

(iii)

the sum of $2,000,000 deposited in an escrow account to satisfy any claims that we may have against Homeland for indemnification pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Escrow Agreement”). On January 3, 2012, we received $1,500,000 of the amount deposited in the escrow account as certain terms pursuant to an agreement entered into by Homeland, SEHC and us at closing of the acquisition were not met by December 31, 2011.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, upon closing of the Purchase Agreement, certain security holders of Homeland (“Management Investors”) purchased 813,007 restricted shares of our Common Stock for a total consideration of approximately $1,000,000, or $1.23 a share, which was the average of the closing prices of our Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq during the 30 trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition. The purchase of the Company’s Common Stock was pursuant to a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with FASB ASC 805 – “Business Combinations”. The consideration for the acquisition was attributed to net assets on the basis of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of October 31, 2011. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the estimated fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets on the acquisition date, which amounted to $11,215,000 (of which $322,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2012), was allocated to goodwill which is not amortized but subject to an annual impairment test. The Company has not yet finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired in this acquisition. As such the estimated purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to further revision. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2012:

(Amounts in thousands)

Current assets	$	22,174
Property, plant and equipment		2,135
Intangible assets		4,084

Total tangible assets	$	2,135

The results of operations of SEC have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the closing of the acquisition, which was October 31, 2011. SEC contributed revenues of approximately $18,602,000 and net loss of $1,264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company has incurred $632,000 in acquisition-related costs, of which approximately $20,000 was incurred in the first quarter of 2012. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of combining SEC and Perma Fix as though the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented below, which is January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results of operations that would have occurred had SEC and Perma Fix been a single company during the periods presented, nor does Perma Fix believe that the pro forma financial information presented is necessarily representative of future operating results. As the acquisition was a stock transaction, none of the goodwill related to SEC is deductible for tax purposes.

Index

Intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition of SEC on October 31, 2011 included a non-compete agreement, customer relationships, customer contracts, and software ($4,000) which were recorded at fair market value of approximately $4,084,000 (see “Note 3 –Business Acquisition” for the purchase price allocation of SEC). The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives with the exception of customer relationships which are being amortized using an accelerated method. The following table summarizes the expected amortization over the next five years for our definite-lived intangible assets noted above and includes the only one definite-lived permit, which is at our DSSI facility. This permit of approximately $545,000 was capitalized in 2009 in connection with the authorization issued by the U.S. EPA to commercially store and dispose of radioactive PCBs. This permit is being amortized over a ten year period in accordance with its estimated useful life.

Amortization expense relating to intangible assets for the Company was $390,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

5.	Stock Based Compensation

We follow FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) to account for stock-based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

The Company has certain stock option plans under which it awards incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, officers, and outside directors. Stock options granted to employees have either a ten year contractual term with one-fifth yearly vesting over a five year period or a six year contractual term with one-third yearly vesting over a three year period. Stock options granted to outside directors have a ten year contractual term with vesting period of six months.

No stock options were granted during the first quarter of 2012 or 2011.

As of March 31, 2012, we had an aggregate of 1,821,000 employee stock options outstanding (from the 1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, 2004 and 2010 Stock Option Plans, and a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement noted below), of which 1,271,000 are vested. The weighted average exercise price of the 1,271,000 outstanding and fully vested employee stock options is $2.13 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 2.04 years. Additionally, we had an aggregate of 796,000 outstanding director stock options (from the 1992 and 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plans), all of which are vested. The weighted average exercise price of the 796,000 outstanding and fully vested director stock options is $2.13 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 5.14 years.

The Company granted a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”) which allows for the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.35 per share by Mr. Christopher Leichtweis, who was appointed a Senior Vice President of the Company and the President of SEC upon the closing of the acquisition of SEC on October 31, 2011. The Option was granted in accordance with, and is subject to, the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated October 31, 2011. The Option has a term of 10 years from grant date, with 25% yearly vesting over a four-year period.

Index

The Company estimates fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted include the exercise price of the award, the expected term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the expected annual dividend yield.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 for our employee and director stock options.

	Three Months Ended
Stock Options	March 31,
	2012		2011
Employee Stock Options	$	38,000	$	76,000
Director Stock Options		26,000		40,000
Total	$	64,000	$	116,000

We recognized stock-based compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the requisite period, which is the vesting period of the stock option grant. ASC 718 requires that stock based compensation expense be based on options that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have generally estimated forfeiture rates based on historical trends of actual forfeitures. When actual forfeitures vary from our estimates, we recognize the difference in compensation expense in the period the actual forfeitures occur or when options vest. As of March 31, 2012, we have approximately $370,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, of which $101,000 is expected to be recognized in 2012, $135,000 in 2013, $96,000 in 2014, with the remaining in $38,000 in 2015.

6.	Capital Stock and Stock Plans

During the first quarter of 2012, we issued 32,881 shares of our Common Stock under our 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan to our outside directors as compensation for serving on our Board of Directors. We paid each of our outside directors $6,500 in fees quarterly for serving as a member of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional quarterly fee of $5,500 due to the position’s additional responsibility. In addition, our Research and Development Committee Chairman receives an additional quarterly fee of $1,000 due to the additional time commitment to the position. Each board member is also paid $1,000 for each board meeting attendance as well as $500 for each telephonic conference call. As a member of the Board of Directors, each director elects to receive either 65% or 100% of the director’s fee in shares of our Common Stock. The number of shares received is calculated based on 75% of the fair market value of our Common Stock determined on the business day immediately preceding the date that the quarterly fee is due. The balance of each director’s fee, if any, is payable in cash.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

On October 31, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of SEC, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Amended Loan Agreement”), with PNC, replacing our previous Loan Agreement with PNC. The Amended Loan Agreement provides us with the following credit facilities:

●

up to $25,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit”), subject to the amount of borrowings based on a percentage of eligible receivables. The revolving credit advances are subject to limitations of an amount up to the sum of (a) up to 85% of Commercial Receivables aged 90 days or less from invoice date, (b) up to 85% of Commercial Broker Receivables aged up to 120 days from invoice date, (c) up to 85% of acceptable Government Agency Receivables aged up to 150 days from invoice date, and (d) up to 50% of acceptable unbilled amounts aged up to 60 days, less (e) reserves the Agent reasonably deems proper and necessary;

●

a term loan (“Term Loan”) of $16,000,000, which requires monthly installments of approximately $190,000 (based on a seven-year amortization); and

●

equipment line of credit up to $2,500,000, subject to certain limitations.

The Amended Loan Agreement terminates as of October 31, 2016, unless sooner terminated.

We have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit facility at prime plus 2% or London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3% and the term loan and equipment credit facilities at prime plus 2.5% or LIBOR plus 3.5%.

As a condition of the Amended Loan Agreement, we paid the remaining balance due under the term loan under our previous Loan Agreement totaling approximately $3,833,000 using our credit facilities under the Amended Loan Agreement. In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, we paid PNC a fee of $217,500 and incurred other direct costs of approximately $289,000 (of which $24,000 was incurred during the first quarter of 2012), which are being amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement as interest expense – financing fees. As a result of the termination of the original Loan Agreement with PNC, we recorded approximately $91,000 during the fourth quarter of 2011, in loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments”. As of March 31, 2012, the excess availability under our revolving credit was $15,056,000 based on our eligible receivables.

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, we may terminate the Amended Loan Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement. We agreed to pay PNC 1.0% of the total financing in the event we pay off our obligations on or before October 31, 2012 and 1/2% of the total financing if we pays off our obligations after October 31, 2012 but prior to or on October 31, 2013. No early termination fee shall apply if we pay off our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement after October 31, 2013.

Promissory Notes and Installment Agreements

The Company has a promissory note dated May 8, 2009, with William N. Lampson and Diehl Rettig (collectively, the “Lenders”) for $3,000,000. The Lenders were formerly shareholders of Nuvotec USA, Inc. (“Nuovtec”) (n/k/a Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc. (“PFNW”)) prior to our acquisition of PFNW and Pacific EcoSolution, Inc. (“PEcoS”) (n/k/a Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”)) and are also stockholders of the Company, having received shares of our Common Stock in connection with our acquisition of PFNW and PFNWR. The promissory note provided for monthly principal repayment of approximately $87,000 plus accrued interest, starting June 8, 2009, with interest payable at LIBOR plus 4.5%, with LIBOR at least 1.5%. Any unpaid principal balance along with accrued interest was due May 8, 2011. We paid approximately $22,000 in closing costs on the promissory note which was being amortized over the term of the note. The promissory note may be prepaid at any time by the Company without penalty. As consideration of the Company receiving this loan, we issued a Warrant to Mr. Lampson and a Warrant to Mr. Diehl to purchase up to 135,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Warrants were exercisable six months from May 8, 2009 and were to expire on May 8, 2011. We also issued an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with Mr. Lampson receiving 180,000 shares and Mr. Rettig receiving 20,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The fair value of the Common Stock and Warrants on the date of issuance was estimated to be $476,000 and $190,000, respectively. The fair value of the Common Stock and Warrants was recorded as a debt discount and was being amortized over the term of the loan as interest expense – financing fees. On April 18, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the promissory note whereby the remaining principal balance on the promissory note of approximately $990,000 is to be repaid in twelve monthly principal payments of approximately $82,500 plus accrued interest, starting May 8, 2011, with interest payable at the same rate of the original loan. As consideration of the amended loan, the original Warrants issued to Mr. Lampson and to Mr. Rettig which were to expire on May 8, 2011, were extended to May 8, 2012 at the same exercise price (Mr. Rettig is now deceased; accordingly, the amended Warrant and the remaining portion of the note payable to Mr. Rettig is now held by and payable to his personal representative or estate). Also, as previously disclosed, Mr. Robert Ferguson, a member of our Board of Directors acquired one-half of Mr. Lampson’s Warrant during 2011 to purchase up to 65,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. We accounted for the amended loan as a modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments”. At the date of the loan modification, unamortized debt discount and fees on the original loan and the fair value of the modified Warrants were determined to be approximately $42,000, which is being amortized as a debt discount over the term of the modified loan as interest expense-financing fees in accordance to ASC 470-50.

Index

The promissory note also includes an embedded Put Option (“Put”) that can be exercised upon default, whereby the lender has the option to receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the unpaid principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest, or the number of whole shares of our Common Stock equal to the outstanding principal balance. The maximum number of payoff shares is restricted to less than 19.9% of the outstanding equity. We concluded that the Put should have been bifurcated at inception; however, the Put Option had and continues to have nominal value as of March 31, 2012. We will continue to monitor the fair value of the Put until expiration.

In connection with the acquisition of SEC, we entered into a $2,500,000 unsecured, non-negotiable promissory note (the “Note”) on October 31, 2011, bearing an annual rate of interest of 6%, payable in 36 monthly installments, with Homeland. The Note provides that we have the right to prepay such at any time without interest or penalty. We prepaid $500,000 of the principal amount of the Note within 10 days of closing of the acquisition. The Note is subject to offset of amounts Homeland owes us under certain terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Note. Our monthly payments consist of approximately $76,000 (which includes interest) starting November 15, 2011. As a result of the $500,000 prepayment, the final payment of approximately $15,500 will be due on March 15, 2014.

The promissory note payable to SEC also includes an embedded conversion option (“Conversion Option”) that can be exercised upon default, whereby Homeland has the option to convert the unpaid portion of the Note into a number of whole shares of our restricted Common Stock. The number of shares of our restricted Common Stock to be issuable under the Conversion Option is determined by the principal amount owing under the Note at the time of default plus all accrued and unpaid interest divided by the average of the closing prices per share of our Common Stock as reported by the primary national securities exchange on which our Common Stock is traded during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to receipt by us of Homeland’s written notice of its election to receive our Common Stock as a result of the event of default by us, with the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon such default subject to certain limitations. We concluded that the Conversion Option had and continues to have nominal value as of March 31, 2012. We will continue to monitor the fair value of the Conversion Option on a regular basis.

Index

On September 28, 2010, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,322,000, with the former shareholders of Nuvotec in connection with an earn-out amount that we are required to pay upon meeting certain conditions for each earn-out measurement year ending June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2011, as a result of our acquisition of PFNW and PFNWR. Interest is accrued at an annual interest rate of 6%. The promissory note provides for 36 equal monthly payments of approximately $40,000, consisting of interest and principal, starting October 15, 2010. The promissory note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. See further details of the earn-out amount in “Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies - Earn-Out Amount.”

9.	Commitments and Contingencies

Hazardous Waste

In connection with our waste management services, we handle both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, which we transport to our own, or other facilities for destruction or disposal. As a result of disposing of hazardous substances, in the event any cleanup is required, we could be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) 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 are involved in various litigations. We are not a party to any litigation or governmental proceeding which our management believes could result in any judgments or fines against us that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of future operations.

Earn-Out Amount

In connection with the acquisition of PFNW and PFNWR in June 2007, we were required to pay to those former shareholders of Nuvotec an earn-out amount upon meeting certain conditions for each measurement year ended June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2011, with the aggregate of the full earn-out amount not to exceed $4,552,000, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as amended (“Agreement”). As of March 31, 2012, an aggregate earn-out amount of $3,896,000 has been paid as follows: (i) $2,574,000 in cash; and (ii) we issued a promissory note, dated September 28, 2010, in the principal amount of $1,322,000, as discussed above. The total $3,896,000 in earn-out amount paid to date or to be paid pursuant to the promissory note excludes approximately an aggregate $656,000 in Offset Amount, which represents an indemnification obligation (as defined by the Merger Agreement) which is payable or may be payable to the Company by the former shareholders of Nuvotec. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate amount of any Offset Amount may total up to $1,000,000, except an Offset Amount is unlimited as to indemnification relating to liabilities for taxes, misrepresentation or inaccuracies with respect to the capitalization of Nuvotec or PEcoS or for willful or reckless misrepresentation of any representation, warranty or covenant. The $656,000 Offset Amount represents approximately $93,000 relating to an excise tax issue and a refund request from a PEcoS customer in connection with services for waste treatment prior to our acquisition of PFNWR and PFNW and an anticipated Offset Amount of $563,000 in connection with the receipt of nonconforming waste at the PFNWR facility prior to our acquisition of PFNWR and PFNW. We are currently involved in litigation with the party that delivered the nonconforming waste to the facility prior to our acquisition of PFNWR and PFNW.

Insurance

The Company has a 25-year finite risk insurance policy entered into in June 2003 with Chartis, a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), which provides financial assurance to the applicable states for our permitted facilities in the event of unforeseen closure. Prior to obtaining or renewing operating permits, we are required to provide financial assurance that guarantees to the states that in the event of closure, our permitted facilities will be closed in accordance with the regulations. The policy, as amended, provides for a maximum allowable coverage of $39,000,000 and has available capacity to allow for annual inflation and other performance and surety bond requirements. This finite risk insurance policy, as amended, requires the following payments:

Index

●

an upfront payment of $4,000,000, of which $2,766,000 represents the full premium for the 25-year term of the policy, and the remaining $1,234,000 is to be deposited in a sinking fund account representing a restricted cash account;

●

eight annual installments of $1,004,000 starting February 2004, of which $991,000 is to be deposited in a sinking fund account, with the remaining $13,000 representing a terrorism premium;

●

a payment of $2,000,000 due on March 6, 2009, of which approximately $1,655,000 is to be deposited into a sinking fund account, with the remaining representing a fee payable to Chartis;

●

three yearly payments of approximately $1,073,000 payable starting December 31, 2009 (the final $1,073,000 payment was made in January 2012), of which $888,000 is be deposited into a sinking fund account, with the remaining representing a fee payable to Chartis; and

●

a final payment of $1,054,000 (paid in March 2012) of which $991,000 is to be deposited in a sinking fund account, $13,000 representing a terrorism premium, and the remaining $50,000 representing a fee payable to Chartis.

We have made all of the payments above. As of March 31, 2012, our financial assurance coverage amount under this policy totaled approximately $37,496,000. We have recorded $15,361,000 in our sinking fund related to the policy noted above on the balance sheet, which includes interest earned of $889,000 on the sinking fund as of March 31, 2012. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was approximately $8,000. On the fourth and subsequent anniversaries of the contract inception, we may elect to terminate this contract. If we so elect, Chartis is obligated to pay us an amount equal to 100% of the sinking fund account balance in return for complete releases of liability from both us and any applicable regulatory agency using this policy as an instrument to comply with financial assurance requirements.

In August 2007, we entered into a second finite risk insurance policy for our PFNWR facility with Chartis. The policy provided an initial $7,800,000 of financial assurance coverage with an annual growth rate of 1.5%, which at the end of the four year term policy, provides maximum coverage of $8,200,000. We have the option to renew this policy at the end of the four year term. The policy requires total payments of $7,158,000, consisting of an initial payment of $1,363,000 ($1,106,000 represented premium on the policy and the remaining was deposited into a sinking fund account), two annual payments of $1,520,000 (for each annual payment, $1,344,000 was deposited into a sinking fund and the remaining represented premium), and an additional $2,755,000 payment (paid quarterly and all deposited into a sinking fund). We have made all of the payments. As of March 31, 2012, we have recorded $5,885,000 in our sinking fund related to this policy on the balance sheet, which includes interest earned of $185,000 on the sinking fund as of March 31, 2012. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $4,000. On July 31, 2011, the policy was renewed for an additional year which required a $46,000 fee. We have the option to renew this policy annually going forward with a similar fee which will be determined at the time of renewal. All other terms of the policy remain substantially unchanged.

10.	Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

On August 12, 2011, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, PFFL, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 13, 2011. In consideration for the sale of 100% of the capital stock of PFFL, the buyer paid us $5,500,000 in cash at closing. The cash consideration is subject to certain working capital adjustments after closing. As of March 31, 2012, expenses related to the sale of PFFL totaled approximately $160,000, of which all have been paid ($3,000 was paid during the first quarter of 2012). As of March 31, 2012, the gain on the sale of PFFL totaled approximately $1,707,000 (net of taxes of $1,067,000), which included a working capital adjustment of $185,000 to be received from the buyer. The gain was recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

On October 14, 2011, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, PFO, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 12, 2011. In consideration for such assets, the buyer paid us $2,000,000 in cash at the closing and assumed certain liabilities of PFO. The cash consideration is subject to certain working capital adjustments after closing. As of March 31, 2012, expenses related to the sale of PFO totaled approximately $37,000, of which all have been paid ($17,000 was paid during the first quarter of 2012). As of March 31, 2012, loss on the sale of PFO totaled approximately $198,000 (net of taxes of $209,000), which was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2011. No working capital adjustment has been made on the sale of PFO.

We continue to market our PFSG facility for sale. As required by ASC 360, based on our internal financial valuations, we concluded that no tangible asset impairments existed for PFSG as of March 31, 2012. No intangible asset exists at PFSG.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011. The operating results of discontinued operations are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of our “(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of taxes”.

Assets related to discontinued operations total $2,358,000 and $2,343,000 as of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, and liabilities related to discontinued operations total $3,998,000 and $3,972,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table presents the major classes of asset and liabilities of discontinued operations that are classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The held for sale assets and liabilities may differ at the closing of a sale transaction from the reported balances as of March 31, 2012:

Total liabilities of discontinued operations	$	1,603	$	1,603

The environmental liabilities for our discontinued operations consist of remediation projects currently in progress at PFMI, PFM, PFD, and PFSG. These remediation projects principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil, and in some cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. All of the remedial clean-up projects were an issue for years prior to our acquisition of the facility and were recognized pursuant to a business combination and recorded as part of the purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The environmental liability for PFD was retained by the Company upon the sale of PFD in March 2008 and pertains to the remediation of a leased property which was separate and apart from the property on which PFD’s facility was located. The reduction of approximately $10,000 in environmental liabilities from the December 31, 2011 balance of $2,002,000 reflects payment on remediation projects.

“Accrued expenses and other liabilities” (not held for sale) for our discontinued operations include a pension payable at PFMI of $468,000 as of March 31, 2012. The pension plan withdrawal liability is a result of the termination of the union employees of PFMI. The PFMI union employees participated in the Central States Teamsters Pension Fund ("CST"), which provides that a partial or full termination of union employees may result in a withdrawal liability, due from PFMI to CST. The recorded liability is based upon a demand letter received from CST in August 2005 that provided for the payment of $22,000 per month over an eight year period. This obligation is recorded as a long-term liability, with a current portion of $232,000 that we expect to pay over the next year.

11.	Operating Segments

In accordance to ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, we define an operating segment as a business activity:

●

from which we may earn revenue and incur expenses;

●

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

●

for which discrete financial information is available.

We currently have two reporting segments, which are based on a service offering approach. This however, excludes corporate headquarters, which does not generate revenue, and our discontinued operations, which includes all facilities as discussed in “Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Divestitures”.

Our reporting segments are defined as follows:

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

research and development activities to identify, develop and implement innovative waste processing techniques for problematic waste streams.

SERVICES SEGMENT which includes:

On-site waste management services to commercial and government customers;

Technical services which includes:

professional radiological measurement and site survey of large government and commercial installations using advance 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

augmented engineering services (through our Schreiber, Yonley & Associates subsidiary – “SYA”) providing consulting environmental services to industrial and government customers:

including air, water, and hazardous waste permitting, air, soil and water sampling, compliance reporting, emission reduction strategies, compliance auditing, and various compliance and training activities; and

engineering and compliance support to other segments.

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

(1) Segment assets have been adjusted for intercompany accounts to reflect actual assets for each segment.

(2) Amounts reflect the activity for corporate headquarters, not included in the segment information.

(3) The following customers accounted for 10% or more of the total revenues generated from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the corresponding period of 2011: (1) Revenues from CH Plateau Remediation Company (“CHPRC”) totaled 6,311,000 or 16.6% and 13,662,000 or 57.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and (2) Revenues generated directly from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) accounted for $7,679,000 or 20.2% and $0 and 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in revenue generated directly from the DOE was attributable to the acquisition of SEC in October 31, 2011.

(4) Amount includes assets from our discontinued operations of $2,358,000 and $7,512,000 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(5) Net of debt discount of ($2,000) and ($34,000) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, based on the estimated fair value at issuance of two Warrants and 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued on May 8, 2009 in connection with a $3,000,000 promissory note entered into by the Company and Mr. William Lampson and Mr. Diehl Rettig. The promissory note and the Warrants were modified on April 18, 2011. See “Note 8 – Long-Term Debt – Promissory Notes and Installment Agreements” for additional information.

12.	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.

Index

We had a tax benefit of $485,000 for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a tax benefit of $340,000 for the corresponding period of 2011. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 36.2% and 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We recognized a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2012 based on the taxable loss that is more likely than not to be realized during 2012.

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax asset will be recovered from future taxable income. The Company considers projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies, then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred income tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

13.	Subsequent Event

As discussed in “Note 8 – Long Term Debt”, we have three Warrants outstanding (held by Mr. Lampson, the estate of Mr. Rettig, and Mr. Ferguson, a member of our Board of Directors) which expired on May 8, 2012. The Warrants provided for the purchases of up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.50 per share. Each of the Warrants were not exercised and expired on May 8, 2012.

The Company undertakes no obligations to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

As previously reported, as a result of the acquisition on October 31, 2011 of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Safety and Ecology Holdings Corporation (“SEHC”) and its subsidiaries, Safety & Ecology Corporation (“Safety & Ecology”), SEC Federal Services Corporation, Safety and Ecology Corporation Limited (“SECL” – a United Kingdom operation) and SEC Radcon Alliance, LLC (“SECRA”, which we own 75%), (collectively, “SEC”) pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2011 (“Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, Homeland Capital Security Corporation (“Homeland”) and SEHC, we made structure and reporting changes to our internal organization and changes to our operating segments to create better consistency, greater coordination and enhanced communication. This restructuring aligns the internal management and functional support assets based on company service offerings. Such restructuring also provides a functionally supported matrix management approach which better supports resource allocation by our chief operating decision maker and optimizes performance assessment. These changes resulted in our new reporting segments: Treatment Segment (“Treatment”) and the Services Segment (“Services”). The Treatment Segment comprises of treatment, processing, and disposal services of nuclear, low-level radioactive, mixed (waste containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive constituents), hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The Services Segment comprises of on-site waste management, technical, and consulting services. As such, the reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions below are tailored to the two newly re-aligned reportable segments. All of the historical segment numbers presented in the Form 10-Q have been recast to conform to this change in reportable segments.

Revenue increased $14,458,000 or 61.2% to $38,073,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $23,615,000 for the corresponding period of 2011. The revenue increase included revenue of $18,602,000 from the acquisition of SEC on October 31, 2011. Excluding revenue from this acquisition, revenue decreased $4,144,000 or 17.5% from the three months ended March 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Treatment Segment revenue increased $507,000 or 4.1% primarily due to higher waste volume which was reduced by lower average priced waste. Services Segment revenue decreased $4,651,000 or 41.2% primarily due to reduced revenue from the CH Plateau Remediation Company (“CHPRC”) subcontract (“CHPRC subcontract”), a cost plus award fee subcontract. We were awarded the CHPRC subcontract in the second quarter of 2008 by CHPRC, a general contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). This subcontract entails performing a portion of facility operations and waste management activities for the DOE Hanford, Washington Site. The revenue reduction was the result of a reduction in workforce which occurred during September 30, 2011 under the CHPRC subcontract.

Gross profit increased $1,271,000 or 41.9%, which included gross profit of $286,000 from the SEC acquisition. Excluding gross profit from SEC, remaining gross profit increased approximately $985,000 or 32.5% primarily due to increased gross profit from our Treatment Segment. Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $1,666,000 which included SG&A expenses of $1,327,000 of SEC. Excluding SG&A expense of SEC, remaining SG&A increased $339,000 or 10.1%.

Index

Outlook

We believe demand for our services will be subject to fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including the current economic conditions, and the manner in which the government will be required to spend funding to remediate federal sites. Our operations depend, in large part, upon governmental funding, particularly funding levels at the DOE. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites are generally subject to termination or renegotiation on 30 days notice at the government’s option. Significant reductions in the level of governmental funding due to the completion of most stimulus funded projects and federal budgets driven by temporary continuing resolutions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Results of Operations

The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to two reportable segments: The Treatment and Services Segments.

Net Revenue

The Treatment Segment realized revenue growth of $507,000 or 4.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period in 2011. Revenue from government generators increased $853,000 or 9.6% primarily due to higher waste volume which was partially reduced by lower averaged priced waste. Revenue from hazardous and non-hazardous waste was down $272,000 or 24.1% primarily due to lower waste volume. Other nuclear waste revenue decreased approximately $74,000 or 3.1% primarily due to lower waste volume. Services Segment revenue increased $13,951,000 or 123.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the corresponding period of 2011 primarily due to the revenue of $18,602,000 generated by SEC which was acquired on October 31, 2011. Excluding the revenue of SEC, Services Segment revenue decreased $4,651,000 or 41.2% primarily due to reduced revenue in the nuclear services area. This decrease was primarily from the CHPRC subcontract which is a cost plus award fee subcontract. The reduction in revenue of $4,745,000 or 44.4% under this subcontract from $10,694,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2011 to $5,949,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was primarily the result of reduced headcount resulting from a reduction in workforce which occurred in September 2011 under this subcontract. The remaining revenue increase of $94,000 within the Services Segment resulted from higher billing rate in our technical services area.

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment decreased $1,254,000 or 11.0% primarily due to revenue mix and reduction in certain fixed costs. We saw lower disposal and transportation costs, lower travel and general costs, and lower salaries and payroll related expenses resulting from reduction in workforce which occurred in April 2011 under our treatment operations. The reduced costs mentioned above were partially offset by higher healthcare costs. Excluding the cost of goods sold of SEC (which is under our Services Segment), the Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $3,875,000 or 42.1%, which included the cost of goods sold of approximately $4,829,000 related to the CHPRC subcontract. Cost of goods sold for the CHPRC subcontract was approximately $8,590,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of goods sold for the CHPRC subcontract of $3,761,000 or 43.8% was consistent with the decrease in revenue for the CHPRC subcontract. The remaining decrease in Services Segment cost of goods sold of $114,000 or 18.4% was primarily due to lower salaries and payroll related expenses resulting from the reduction in workforce which occurred during March 2011 in our engineering group within the Segment. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $1,539,000 and $1,132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
