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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

We suggest that these consolidated condensed 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, 2012.

Current Financial Position and Liquidity
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $3,853,000 and $6,092,000, respectively.  In the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013, revenues were $19,829,000 and $22,784,000, respectively.  Despite this increase, which is consistent with our historical revenue trends, the 2013 revenue and our fiscal 2012 revenue were below our expectations and internal forecasts as a result of government sequestration, ending of contracts and general adverse economic conditions.  Our revenue to date in fiscal 2013 has been insufficient to attain profitable operations and has generated negative operating cash flow from operations; however, historically, the Company has generated positive operating cash in the third and fourth quarters due to the government fiscal year end of September 30th and upfront contractual billing terms.

The Company’s cash flow requirements during 2013 have been financed by cash on hand, operations, and our credit facility (Note 7).  Should the increased revenue consistent with prior trends not materialize, we are committed to further reducing operating costs to bring them in line with reduced revenue levels.  If we are unable to improve our revenue and working capital during the remainder of 2013, such could result in a material adverse impact on our results and liquidity, including potential impact on our goodwill balances.

On August 2, 2013, the Company completed a lending transaction with Messrs. Robert Ferguson and William Lampson (collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lenders the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note (Note 13).  These additional funds allowed us to pay down the current revolver balance, effectively increasing our borrowing availability to approximately $6,200,000 as of August 2, 2013 based on eligible collateral. The loan is a fixed rate loan with a favorable rate that is lower than our current variable rates and thus translates to lower interest expense.

The Company continues to focus on expansion into both commercial and international markets to help offset the uncertainties of government spending. This includes new services, new customers and increased market share in our current markets.  Although no assurances can be given, we believe we will be able to successfully implement this plan.
 
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, for certain significant claims when it is determined that recovery of incurred costs is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-35-25 “Revenue Recognition–Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, these requirements are satisfied when the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the Company’s performance, claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. The Company periodically evaluates its position and the amounts recognized in revenue with respect to all its claims. Amounts ultimately realized from claims could differ materially from the balances included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02 (“ASU 2013-02”), "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”   This ASU requires entities to disclose the effect of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on each affected net income line item. For accumulated other comprehensive income reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. This information may be provided either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the financials. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date,”  an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 405, “Liabilities.”   The update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date as the sum of the obligation the entity agreed to pay among its co-obligors and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations that existed upon adoption of the ASU. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of adopting this guidance.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU No. 2013-11 is a new accounting standard on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit and an net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward on a net basis as part of a deferred tax asset, unless the unrecognized tax benefit is not available to reduce the deferred tax asset component or would not be utilized for that purpose, then a liability would be recognized. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  We are still assessing the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.

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 six months of 2013 or 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, we had an aggregate of 1,138,000 employee stock options outstanding (from the 2004 and 2010 Stock Option Plans), of which 938,000 are vested.  The weighted average exercise price of the 938,000 outstanding and fully vested employee stock options is $2.05 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 1.5 years.  Additionally, we had an aggregate of 816,000 outstanding director stock options (from the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plans), all of which are vested. The weighted average exercise price of the 816,000 outstanding and fully vested director stock options is $2.04 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 4.5 years.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 for our employee and director stock options.

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 stock-based compensation expense in the period the actual forfeitures occur or when options vest.  Our stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included a reduction of approximately $23,000 resulting from the forfeiture of a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”) due to the voluntary termination of our Safety and Ecology Corporation (“SEC” or Safety and Ecology Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries) President from the Company which became effective May 24, 2013 (see Note 12 – “Related Party Transaction” for further information regarding the SEC President’s voluntary termination from the Company).   The Option was granted on October 31, 2011, with a term of 10 years from grant date and provided for the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of our Common Stock at $1.35 per share, with 25% yearly vesting over a four-year period (in accordance with a Non-Qualified Option Agreement).  As of June 30, 2013, we have approximately $94,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, of which $44,000 is expected to be recognized in 2013, with the remaining $50,000 in 2014.

Amortization expense relating to intangible assets noted above and our one definite-lived permit for the Company was $179,000 and $343,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $147,000 and $322,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Goodwill impairment
Our East Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation (“M&EC”) subsidiary was awarded the CH Plateau Remediation Company (“CHPRC”) subcontract by CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Company (“CH2M Hill”), effective June 19, 2008, in connection with CH2M Hill’s prime contract with the Department of Energy (“DOE”), relating to waste management and facility operations at the DOE’s Hanford, Washington site. The CHPRC subcontract provides for a base contract period from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2013, with an option of renewal for an additional five years.  During the second quarter of 2013, our M&EC subsidiary was notified by CH2M Hill that the subcontract will expire on September 30, 2013 and will not be renewed.  As permitted by ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” when an impairment indicator arises toward the end of an interim reporting period, the Company may recognize its best estimate of that impairment loss. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis prepared as of June 30, 2013, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1,149,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2013.  This amount represented the total goodwill for our CHPRC reporting unit – our operations under the CHPRC subcontract. The goodwill impairment charge is noncash in nature and did not affect the Company’s liquidity or cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the goodwill impairment had no effect on the Company’s borrowing availability or covenants under its credit facility agreement.

The preliminary assessment for the Treatment Segment, SYA and Safety & Ecology Corporation reporting units indicated that the fair values were greater than its net book value with no initial indication of goodwill impairment.  Although the Company believes that the financial projections used in the assessment were reasonable and appropriate for its four reporting units at that time, there is uncertainty inherent in those projections.

We believe demand for our services will continue to be subject to fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including the current economic conditions that drive both commercial and government clients to reduce spending.  In addition, federal governmental clients have operated under reduced budgets due to Continuing Resolutions (“CR”) and sequestration.  We believe that this has negatively impacted the amount of waste shipped to our treatment facilities as well as jobs available in our Services Segment. Significant uncertainty exists regarding how sequestration cuts will be implemented and what challenges this may present for our industry. While members of Congress and the Administration continue to discuss various options to address sequestration and the U.S. Government’s overall fiscal challenges, we cannot predict the outcome of these efforts.  Currently, there is insufficient information to determine the full impact of sequestration and CR on our 2013 results of operations and cash flows, including their potential impact on our goodwill balances.

Revolving Credit and Term LoanAgreement
The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Amended Loan Agreement”), with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender, 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.
 
 
13

 
The Amended Loan Agreement terminates as of October 31, 2016, unless sooner terminated.  We may terminate the Amended Loan Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice and upon payment in full of our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement.  We agreed to pay PNC 0.5% of the total financing if we pay 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.

We have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit facility at prime plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3% and the term loan and equipment credit facilities at prime plus 2.5% or LIBOR plus 3.5%.

In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, we paid PNC a fee of $217,500 and incurred other direct costs of approximately $298,000, all of which are being amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement as interest expense – financing fees.  As of June 30, 2013, the excess availability under our revolving credit was $7,281,000, based on our eligible receivables.

On May 9, 2013, we entered into an Amendment to our Amended Loan Agreement.  This Amendment waived our fixed charge coverage ratio non-compliance for the first quarter of 2013.  This Amendment also changed the methodology in calculating the fixed charge coverage ratio in each subsequent quarter of 2013.  The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement of 1:25 to 1:00 for each subsequent quarter of 2013 remains unchanged. As a condition of this Amendment, we paid PNC a fee of $20,000, which is being amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement. All other terms of the Amended Loan Agreement remain principally unchanged. We met our fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the second quarter of 2013.

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note (“New Note”) with Timios National Corporation (“TNC” and formerly known as Homeland Capital Security Corporation) in the principal amount of approximately $230,000 as a result of a settlement with TNC in connection with certain claims that we asserted against TNC for breach of certain representations and covenant subsequent to our acquisition of Safety & Ecology Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively known as “SEC”) from TNC on October 31, 2011.  In connection with the acquisition of SEC on October 31, 2011, as partial consideration of the purchase price, we entered into a $2,500,000 unsecured, non-negotiable promissory note (the “October Note”), bearing an annual rate of interest of 6%, payable in 36 monthly installments, with TNC.  As part of the settlement with TNC regarding the aforementioned claims, the October Note, with balance of approximately $1,460,000, was cancelled and terminated and the New Note was issued in replacement of the October Note.  The New Note bears an annual interest rate of 6%, payable in 24 monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $10,000, with the first payment due February 28, 2013, as agreed by us and TNC after entering into the promissory note, with subsequent payments due on the last day of each month thereafter.  The New Note provides us the right to prepay such at any time without interest or penalty.

The Note payable to TNC included an embedded conversion option (“Conversion Option”) that can be exercised upon default, whereby TNC 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 and expenses (as defined) divided by the average of the closing price 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 TNC’s written notice of its election to receive our restricted 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 June 30, 2013.  We will continue to monitor the fair value of the Conversion Option on a regular basis.

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 (now known as Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc. or “PFNW”) in connection with an earn-out amount that we are required to pay upon meeting certain conditions for each earn-out measurement year ended June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2011, as a result of our acquisition of PFNW and Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) in June 2007.  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 8 – “Commitments and Contingencies - Earn-Out Amount.”

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Hazardous Waste
In connection with our waste management services, we handle both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, which we transport to our own, or other, facilities for destruction or disposal.  As a result of disposing of hazardous substances, in the event any cleanup is required, we could be a potentially responsible party for the costs of the cleanup notwithstanding any absence of fault on our part.

Legal Matters
On March 7, 2013, our PFNWR subsidiary received a Notice of Intent to File Administrative Complaint from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), alleging PFNWR had improperly stored certain mixed waste.  If a settlement is not reached between the Company and EPA in connection with these alleged violations within 120 days of initiating negotiations, the EPA has advised it will initiate an action for civil penalties for these alleged violations. The EPA could seek penalties up to $37,500 per day per violation. The EPA has proposed a consent agreement and final order (“CAFO”) and has proposed a total penalty in the CAFO in the amount of $215,500 to resolve these alleged violations. We recorded approximately $188,000 in accrued penalty (of which $4,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2013) based on our best estimate to resolve these alleged violations. See Note 13 - “Subsequent Events – Notice of Intent to File Administrative Complaint – PFNWR” on settlement of this matter with the EPA on July 16, 2013.

Earn-Out Amount – Perma-Fix Northwest, Inc. (“PFNW”) and Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”)
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 June 30, 2013, an aggregate earn-out amount of $3,896,000 has been paid or is payable 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, payable in thirty six equal monthly payments of approximately $40,000 consisting of interest and principal, starting October 15, 2010. 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 (now known as “PFNWR”) or for willful or reckless misrepresentation of any representation, warranty or covenant. The $656,000 Offset Amount (which was recorded as part of the purchase price allocation of PFNWR) 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. 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. We have made all of the required payments totaling $18,305,000, for this finite risk insurance policy, as amended, of which $14,472,000 has been deposited into a sinking fund account which represents a restricted cash account; $2,883,000 represented full/terrorism premium; and $950,000 represented fee payable to Chartis.  As of June 30, 2013, our financial assurance coverage amount under this policy totaled approximately $38,161,000.  We have recorded $15,396,000 in our sinking fund related to the policy noted above in other long term assets on the accompanying balance sheets, which includes interest earned of $925,000 on the sinking fund as of June 30, 2013.  Interest income for three and six months ended June 30, 2013, was approximately $7,000 and $13,000, respectively.  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 made all of the required payments on this policy, totaling $7,158,000, of which $5,700,000 has been deposited into a sinking fund account and $1,458,000 represented premium.  As of June 30, 2013, we have recorded $5,894,000 in our sinking fund related to this policy in other long term assets on the accompanying balance sheets, which includes interest earned of $194,000 on the sinking fund as of June 30, 2013.  Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled approximately $2,000 and $5,000, respectively.  This policy is renewed annually at the end of the four year term with a nominal fee for the variance between the policy and coverage requirement.  We renewed this policy in 2011 and 2012 with an annual fee of $46,000.  All other terms of the policy remain substantially unchanged.

Recognition of Revenue from Contract Claims
The Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, for certain significant claims when it is determined that recovery of incurred costs is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated in accordance with ASC 605-35-25.  The Company’s revenue for quarter ended June 30, 2013, includes claim revenue related to this issue for costs incurred to date on a certain fixed price contract. The Company believes the ultimate recovery of incurred costs related to the claim is probable under ASC 605-35-25, and will continue periodically to evaluate its position and the amount recognized in revenue as to this claim. The project is substantially complete; resolution of the claim is projected to extend beyond the project completion date. The Company currently is conferring this claim revenue with the customer and will seek to recover, including litigation if necessary, all amounts owed as allowed under the contract or for other work performed.  The customer can file a counterclaim against the Company seeking to recover costs associated with alleged defects. Relative success of the customer’s counterclaim and the Company’s claims for damages could result in a substantial change to earnings.

9. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Our discontinued operations consist of our Perma-Fix of South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”) facility which met the held for sale criteria under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” on October 6, 2010.  Our discontinued operations also encompass our Perma-Fix of Fort Lauderdale, Inc. (“PFFL”), Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc. (“PFO”), Perma-Fix of Maryland, Inc. (“PFMD”), Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”), and Perma-Fix Treatment Services, Inc. (“PFTS”) facilities, which were divested on August 12, 2011, October 14, 2011,  January 8, 2008, March 14, 2008, and May 30, 2008, respectively.  Our discontinued operations also include two previously shut down locations, Perma-Fix of Michigan, Inc. (“PFMI”), and Perma-Fix of Memphis, Inc. (“PFM”).

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 June 30, 2013.  No intangible assets exist at PFSG.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The operating results of discontinued operations are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of our “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes.”

10. Operating Segments

In accordance with 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 9 – “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 include:
  o professional radiological measurement and site survey of large government and commercial installations using advance methods, technology and engineering;
  o integrated Occupational Safety and Health services including industrial hygiene (“IH”) assessments; hazardous materials surveys, e.g., exposure monitoring; lead and asbestosmanagement/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;
  o 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,
 
 
18

 
  o 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;
  - Nuclear services, which include:
  o technology-based services including engineering, decontamination and decommissioning (“D&D”), specialty services and construction, logistics, transportation, processing and disposal;
  o 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; site construction; logistics; transportation; and emergency response; and
  - 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.

11. 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.

We had income tax benefits of $132,000 and $399,000 from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and the corresponding period of 2012, respectively, and income tax benefits of $1,560,000 and $855,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the corresponding period of 2012, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 134.7% and 26.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 37.0% and 30.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We have treated the goodwill impairment loss of approximately $1,149,000 recorded for our CHPRC reporting unit as a discrete item and have not included the impact of the impairment in our estimated effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, in accordance with ASC 740-270-30-8 (see Note 6 – “Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for further information regarding this goodwill impairment).

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.
 
12. Related Party Transaction

On May 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) with Mr. Christopher Leichtweis (“Leichtweis”), the Company’s SEC President.  Pursuant to the Agreement:

  (i) effective May 24, 2013 (“Separation Date”), Leichtweis voluntarily terminated and retired as an employee of the Company, Senior Vice President of the Company and President of SEC;

  (ii) the Leichtweis Employment Agreement dated October 31, 2011 between the Company and Leichtweis was terminated and becomes null and void, except for the “Confidentiality of Trade Secrets and Business Information” (“Section 7”) clause of the Leichtweis Employment Agreement.  No severance and Special Bonus (as defined in the Leichtweis Employment Agreement) were payable to Leichtweis under the Leichtweis Employment Agreement.  Leichtweis was paid all accrued salary, vacation and any benefit under the employee’s benefit plan to Separation Date.  Leichtweis voluntary termination of employment with the Company was for reasons other than for “Good Reason”  (as defined by Leichtweis Employment Agreement) and is within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(1) as of the Separation Date;

13. Subsequent Events

Notice of Intent to File Administrative Complaint – PFNWR
On July 16, 2013, our PFNWR subsidiary entered into a consent agreement and final order (“CAFO”) with the EPA in final settlement of certain alleged violations that our PFNWR subsidiary had improperly stored certain mixed waste.  In settlement of these alleged violations, our PFNWR subsidiary has agreed to pay a penalty of approximately $188,000 within thirty days of July 16, 2013.  See Note 9 – “Commitment and Contingencies – Legal Matters” for further information regarding this matter.

Promissory Notes and Subordination Agreement
On August 2, 2013, the Company completed a lending transaction with Messrs. Robert Ferguson and William Lampson (“collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lenders the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note (the “Loan”).  The Lenders were formerly shareholders of PFNW prior to our acquisition of PFNW and PFNWR and are also stockholders of the Company, having received shares of our Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of PFNW and PFNWR in June 2007.  Mr. Ferguson also served as a Company Board member from August 2007 to February 2010 and from August 2011 to September 2012. The proceeds from the Loan will be used for general working capital purposes.  The promissory note is unsecured, with a term of three years with interest payable at a fixed interest rate of 2.99% per annum.  The promissory note provides for monthly payments of accrued interest only during the first year of the Loan with the first interest payment due September 1, 2013 and monthly payments of $125,000 in principal plus accrued interest for the second and third year of the Loan.  In connection with the above Loan, the Lenders entered into a Subordination Agreement dated August 2, 2013, with the Company’s credit facility lender, whereby the Lenders agreed to subordinate payment under the Loan, and agreed that the Loan will be junior in right of payment to the credit facility in the event of default or bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding by the Company.  As consideration for the Company receiving the Loan, we issued a Warrant to each Lender to purchase up to 175,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock at the closing of the transaction which was determined to be $0.45. The Warrants are exercisable six months from August 2, 2013 and expire on August 2, 2016.  As further consideration for the Loan, the Company also will issue an aggregate 450,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with each Lender receiving 225,000 shares.  The 450,000 shares of Common Stock and 350,000 Common Stock purchase warrants will be issued in a private placement and bear a restrictive legend against resale except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from registration thereunder.  The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment of this transaction and the impact to our financial statements.

Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement
On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into an Amendment to our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Amended Loan Agreement”) with PNC.  This Amendment reduced our Revolving Credit facility from $25,000,000 to $18,000,000 and removed the equipment line credit of up to $2,500,000.  All other terms of the Amended Loan Agreement remain principally unchanged.

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

Overview
Revenue decreased $10,914,000 or 32.4% to $22,784,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $33,698,000 for the corresponding period of 2012 primarily due to reduced revenue within our Services Segment of approximately $10,985,000 resulting from completion/near completion of certain large contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) within the nuclear services area and a large contract in the technical services area.  Gross profit increased $93,000 or 2.4%, primarily due to the reduction in our fixed cost structure as we continue to improve and reduce certain costs in our operations.  Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $1,219,000 or 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period of 2012.

Business Environment and Outlook
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $3,853,000 and $6,092,000, respectively.  In the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013, revenues were $19,829,000 and $22,784,000, respectively.  Despite this increase, which is consistent with our historical revenue trends, the 2013 revenue and our fiscal 2012 revenue were below our expectations and internal forecasts as a result of government sequestration, ending of contracts and general adverse economic conditions.  Our revenue to date in fiscal 2013 has been insufficient to attain profitable operations and has generated negative operating cash flow from operations; however, historically, the Company has generated positive operating cash in the third and fourth quarters due to the government fiscal year end of September 30th and upfront contractual billing terms.

The Company’s cash flow requirements during 2013 have been financed by cash on hand, operations, and our credit facility.  Should the increased revenue consistent with prior trends not materialize, we are committed to further reducing operating costs to bring them in line with reduced revenue levels.  If we are unable to improve our revenue and working capital during the remainder of 2013, such could result in a material adverse impact on our results and liquidity, including potential impact on our goodwill balances.

On August 2, 2013, the Company completed a lending transaction with Messrs. Robert Ferguson and William Lampson (collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lenders the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note.  These additional funds allowed us to pay down the current revolver balance, effectively increasing our borrowing availability to approximately $6,200,000 as of August 2, 2013 based on eligible collateral. The loan is a fixed rate loan with a favorable rate that is lower than our current variable rates and thus translates to lower interest expense.

The Company continues to focus on expansion into both commercial and international markets to help offset the uncertainties of government spending. This includes new services, new customers and increased market share in our current markets.  Although no assurances can be given, we believe we will be able to successfully implement this plan.

Net Revenue
Treatment Segment revenue increased $71,000 or 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012. The small increase was primarily due to higher averaged priced waste offset by lower waste volume.  Revenue from hazardous and non-hazardous waste was up $962,000 or 132.0% primarily due to increased remediation projects.  Other nuclear waste revenue increased approximately $922,000 or 38.1% primarily due to receipt of a high priced and high margin waste shipment which did not occur in the corresponding period of 2012.  Services Segment revenue decreased $10,985,000 or 46.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 from the corresponding period of 2012 primarily as a result of the completion/near completion of certain large contracts with the DOE within the nuclear services area and a large contract in the technical services area.  The decrease in our revenue was impacted by a reduction in spending by our governmental and commercial clients in connection with the treatment of waste and new remediation projects as discussed above.

The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue from government clients of approximately $7,294,000 or 44.0% resulting from lower waste volume.  Revenue from hazardous and non-hazardous waste was up $794,000 or 50.1% primarily due to higher remediation projects.  Other nuclear waste revenue increased approximately $1,071,000 or 22.8% primarily due to higher average priced waste.  Services Segment revenue decreased $23,592,000 or 48.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the corresponding period of 2012 primarily as a result of the completion/near completion of certain large contracts with the DOE within the nuclear services area and a large contract in the technical services area.  The decrease in our revenue was impacted by a reduction in spending by our governmental and commercial clients in connection with the treatment of waste and new remediation projects as discussed above.

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment decreased $1,154,000 or 12.9% primarily due to our continued effort in reducing our cost structure.  We saw significant reduction in salaries and payroll related costs ($680,000) resulting from reductions in workforce which occurred in February 2013,  December 2012, and June 2012 as we continue to manage headcount and streamline our operations.  We incurred lower maintenance costs, outside service costs, and general expenses throughout various categories.  Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $9,853,000 or 47.3% primarily due to reduced revenue as discussed above.  We incurred lower costs throughout most categories within cost of goods sold.  Salaries and payroll related expenses were significantly lower ($5,300,000) resulting from reduced revenue and a reduction in workforce which occurred in February 2013. In addition, we incurred significantly lower outside services/subcontract costs ($3,300,000).  Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $1,127,000 and $1,309,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
