Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

(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, 2016.

1.	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed 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 condensed 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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

The Company suggests 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, 2016.

Reclassification

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

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," as amended, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted for ASU 2014-09, as amended, to the original effective date of the period beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). ASU 2014-09 may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently analyzing the effect of the standard across all of its revenue streams to evaluate the impact of the new standard on revenue contracts. This includes reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements under the new standard. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 and anticipates using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)," which aims to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. Subsequently, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force," which clarifies the guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of these ASUs to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which eliminates the existing exception in U.S. GAAP prohibiting the recognition of the income tax consequences for intra-entity asset transfers. Under ASU 2016-16, entities will be required to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective on a modified retrospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisition, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 232) – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings.” This amendment states that registrants should consider additional qualitative disclosures if the impact of an issued but not yet adopted ASU is unknown or cannot be reasonably estimated and to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined. Transition guidance included in certain issued but not yet adopted ASUs were also updated to reflect this update. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. ASU 2017-09 is to be applied on a prospective basis to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3.	Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes information relating to the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets:

				June 30, 2017							December 31, 2016
	Useful			Gross					Net		Gross					Net
	Lives			Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying		Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying
	(Years)			Amount		Amortization			Amount		Amount		Amortization			Amount

Total				$	4,911	$	(3,248	)	$	1,663	$	4,897	$	(3,059	)	$	1,838

The intangible assets noted above 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 Company has only one definite-lived permit that is subject to amortization.

The following table summarizes the expected amortization over the next five years for our definite-lived intangible assets (including the one definite-lived permit):

	Amount

2017 (remaining)	$	184
2018		337
2019		254
2020		218
2021		198

Amortization expenses relating to the definite-lived intangible assets as discussed above was $95,000 and $189,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $138,000 and $240,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

4.	Capital Stock, Stock Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has certain stock option plans under which it awards incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, officers, and outside directors.

On January 13, 2017, the Company granted 6,000 non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) from the Company’s 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan to a new director elected by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Jack Lahav who retired from the Board in October 2016. The options granted were for a contractual term of ten years with a vesting period of six months. The exercise price of the NQSO was $3.79 per share, which was equal to our closing stock price the day preceding the grant date, pursuant to the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan.

On May 15, 2016, the Company granted 50,000 incentive stock options (“ISOs”) from the Company’s 2010 Stock Option Plan to our Executive Vice President (“EVP”)/Chief Operating Officer (“COO”). The ISOs granted were for a contractual term of six years with one-third yearly vesting over a three year period. The exercise price of the ISO was $3.97 per share, which was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.

The summary of the Company’s total Stock Option Plans as of June 30, 2017, as compared to June 30, 2016, and changes during the periods then ended, are presented below. The Company’s Plans consist of the 2010 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan:

5.	Income (Loss) Per Share

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

⁽³⁾Net of debt issuance costs of ($133,000) and ($151,000) at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Amended Loan Agreement”), provides the Company with the following credit facility with a maturity date of March 24, 2021: (a) up to $12,000,000 revolving credit (“revolving credit”), subject to the amount of borrowings based on a percentage of eligible receivables (as defined) and (b) a term loan (“term loan”) of approximately $6,100,000, which requires monthly installments of approximately $101,600 (based on a seven-year amortization).

Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company has the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit at prime (4.25% at June 30, 2017) plus 2% or London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3% and the term loan at prime plus 2.5% or LIBOR plus 3.5%.

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company may terminate the Amended Loan Agreement, upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of its obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement. The Company agreed to pay PNC 1.0% of the total financing in the event the Company had paid off its obligations on or before March 23, 2017, .50% of the total financing if the Company pays off its obligations after March 23, 2017 but prior to or on March 23, 2018, and .25% of the total financing if the Company pays off its obligations after March 23, 2018 but prior to or on March 23, 2019. No early termination fee shall apply if the Company pays off its obligations after March 23, 2019.

At June 30, 2017, the availability under our revolving credit was $3,302,000, based on our eligible receivables and includes an indefinite reduction of borrowing availability of $2,000,000 that the Company’s lender has imposed, which includes $750,000 that was imposed immediately upon the Company’s receipt of finite risk sinking funds on May 1, 2017, in connection with the cancellation of the closure policy for the Company’s Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) subsidiary (see “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Insurance” below for further information of the PFNWR closure policy and the receipt of the related sinking funds).

The Company’s credit facility with PNC contains certain financial covenants, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our credit facility allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The Company met its quarterly financial covenants in the first and second quarters of 2017 and expects to meet its quarterly financial covenants in each of the remaining quarters of 2017 and the first nine months of 2018.

7.	East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corporation (“M&EC”)

The Company continues its plan to close its M&EC facility by the end of the M&EC’s lease term of January 21, 2018. Operations at the M&EC facility are continuing during the remaining term of the lease and the facility continues to transition waste shipments and operational capabilities to our other Treatment Segment facilities, subject to customer requirements and regulatory approvals. Simultaneously, the Company continues with the required clean-up/maintenance procedures at M&EC’s Oak Ridge, Tennessee facility in accordance with M&EC’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) permit requirements.

At June 30, 2017, total accrued closure liabilities for our M&EC subsidiary totaled approximately $2,745,000 which are recorded as current liabilities. At December 31, 2016, M&EC had long-term closure liabilities of approximately $881,000 which were reclassified to current at March 31, 2017. The following reflects changes to the closure liabilities for the M&EC subsidiary from year end 2016:

Amounts in thousands
Balance as of December 31, 2016		3,058
Accretion expense		94
Payments		(407	)
Balance as of June 30, 2017	$	2,745

Revenues for the M&EC subsidiary were $1,692,000 and $5,072,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $1,382,000 and $2,755,000 for the corresponding periods of 2016, respectively.

8.	Commitments and Contingencies

Hazardous Waste

In connection with our waste management services, we process 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

In the normal course of conducting our business, we are involved in various litigation. We are not a party to any litigation or governmental proceeding which our management believes could result in any judgments or fines against us that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of future operations.

Insurance

The Company has a 25-year finite risk insurance policy entered into in June 2003 with 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. All of the required payments for this finite risk insurance policy, as amended, were previously made by the Company. At June 30, 2017, our financial assurance coverage amount under this policy totaled approximately $29,473,000. The Company has recorded $15,608,000 and $15,546,000 in sinking funds related to this policy in other long term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which includes interest earned of $1,136,000 and $1,075,000 on the sinking funds as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $34,000 and $61,000, respectively. Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, was approximately $24,000 and $38,000, respectively. If the Company so elects, AIG is obligated to pay us an amount equal to 100% of the sinking fund account balance in return for complete release of liability from both us and any applicable regulatory agency using this policy as an instrument to comply with financial assurance requirements.

The Company also had a finite risk insurance policy dated August 2007 for our PFNWR facility with AIG (“PFNWR policy”) which provided financial assurance to the State of Washington in the event of closure of the PFNWR facility. The Company had recorded $5,941,000 in finite risk sinking funds at December 31, 2016 in other long term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets which included interest earned of $241,000 on the sinking fund. In April 2017, the Company received final releases from state and federal regulators for the PFNWR policy which enabled the Company to cancel the PFNWR policy resulting in the release of approximately $5,951,000 on May 1, 2017 in finite sinking funds previously held by AIG as collateral for the PFNWR policy. The Company used the released finite sinking funds to pay off its revolving credit with the remaining funds to be used for general working capital needs. The Company has acquired new bonds in the required amount of approximately $7,000,000 (“new bonds”) to replace the PFNWR policy in providing financial assurance for the PFNWR facility. Upon receipt of the $5,951,000 in finite sinking funds from AIG, the Company and its lender executed a standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 as collateral for the new bonds for the PFNWR facility. In addition, the Company’s lender placed an additional $750,000 restriction on the Company’s borrowing availability pursuant to a “Condition Subsequent” clause in the November 17, 2016 amendment that the Company entered into with its lender. Interest income earned under the PFNWR policy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $2,000 and $10,000, respectively. Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, was approximately $5,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Subsequent Events

Option Plans

The Company adopted the 2017 Stock Option Plan (“2017 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 27, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The 2017 Plan authorizes the grant of options to officers and employees of the Company, including any employee who is also a member of the Board of Directors, as well as to consultants of the Company. The 2017 Plan authorizes an aggregate grant of 540,000 NQSOs and ISOs, which includes a rollover of 140,000 options remaining available for issuance under the 2010 Stock Option Plan. As a result of the approval of the 2017 Stock Option Plan, no further options will be granted under the 2010 Stock Option Plan. In all other respects, the 2010 Stock Option Plan will remain in full force and effect with respect to all outstanding options granted under the 2010 Stock Option Plan, which stands at 60,000. Consultants of the Company can only be granted NQSOs. The term of each stock option granted under the 2017 Plan shall be fixed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“Compensation Committee”), but no stock options will be exercisable more than ten years after the grant date, or in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder, five years after the grant date. The exercise price of any ISO granted under the 2017 Plan to an individual who is not a 10% stockholder at the time of the grant shall not be less than the fair market value of the shares at the time of the grant, and the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value at the time of grant. The exercise price of any NQSOs granted under the plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders also approved an amendment to the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan (“2003 Plan”) which authorizes the issuance of an additional 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the plan. Immediately prior to the approval of this amendment by the Company’s shareholders, the 2003 Plan had available for issuance approximately 99,900 shares.

Grant of Options

On July 27, 2017, the Company’s appropriate committees of the Board and the Board approved the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) from the 2017 Plan (which was approved by our stockholders as discussed above) to our named executive officers as follows: 50,000 ISOs to our Chief Executive Officer (Louis F. Centofanti); 100,000 ISOs to our EVP/COO (Mr. Mark Duff); and 50,000 ISOs to our Chief Financial Officer (Mr. Ben Naccarato). The ISOs granted were for a contractual term of six years with one-fifth yearly vesting over a five year period. The exercise price of the ISO was $3.65 per share, which was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Robert L. Ferguson

Mr. Robert Ferguson (“Ferguson”) is a consultant to the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s Test Bed Initiative (“TBI”) at its PFNWR facility. For Ferguson’s consulting work with the Board, he has been receiving compensation of $4,000 a month. For Ferguson’s consulting work in connection with the Company’s TBI, on July 27, 2017 (“grant date”), the Compensation Committee and the Board granted Ferguson a stock option from the Company’s 2017 Plan (see above for a discussion of the 2017 Plan) for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.65 a share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (“Ferguson Stock Option”). The exercise of the Ferguson Stock Option is subject to the achievement of the following milestones:

●

Upon treatment and disposal of three (3) gallons of waste at the PFNWR facility by January 27, 2018, 10,000 shares of the Ferguson Stock Option shall become exercisable;

●

Upon treatment and disposal of 2,000 gallons of waste at the PFNWR facility by January 27, 2019, 30,000 shares of the Ferguson Stock Option shall become exercisable; and

●

Upon treatment and disposal of 50,000 gallons of waste at the PFNWR facility and assistance, on terms satisfactory to the Company, in preparing certain justifications of cost and pricing data for the waste and obtaining a long-term commercial contract relating to the treatment, storage and disposal of waste by January 27, 2021, 60,000 shares of the Ferguson Stock Option shall become exercisable.

The term of the Ferguson Stock Option is seven (7) years from the grant date. Each of the milestones is exclusive of each other; therefore, achievement of any of the milestones above by Ferguson by the designated date will provide Ferguson the right to exercise the number of options in accordance with the milestone attained. The Company will account for this transaction in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”

Overview

Revenue decreased $2,094,000 or 14.1% to $12,715,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $14,809,000 for the corresponding period of 2016. Revenue from our Services Segment decreased $3,739,000 or 54.8% primarily due the completion of a significant Nuclear services project in December 2016. Revenue from our Treatment Segment increased $1,645,000 or 20.6% primarily due to higher waste volume. Total gross profit increased $538,000 or 29.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the increase in revenue in our Treatment Segment. Total Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $458,000 or 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016.

Revenue increased $575,000 or 2.3% to $25,422,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $24,847,000 for the corresponding period of 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the increase in revenue in our Treatment Segment of approximately $4,476,000 or 29.5% from higher waste volume. Services Segment revenue decreased approximately $3,901,000 or 40.4% to $5,757,000 from $9,658,000. Total gross profit increased $3,223,000 or 174.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016 primarily due to higher revenue generated from our Treatment Segment. Total SG&A expenses increased $253,000 or 4.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016.

Business Environment and Outlook

Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continues to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to governmental clients directly as the contractor or indirectly as a subcontractor. 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 and the manner in which the government will be required to spend funding to remediate federal sites. 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 or specifically mandated levels for different programs that are important to our business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. As previously disclosed, during the latter part of 2016, our Medical Segment reduced substantially its R&D activities due to the need for capital to fund such activities. Our Medical Segment continues to seek various sources in order to raise this capital. We anticipate that our Medical Segment research and development (“R&D”) activities will be limited until it obtains the necessary capital through obtaining its own credit facility or additional equity raise. If the Medical Segment is unable to raise the necessary capital, the Medical Segment could be required to further reduce or delay or eliminate its R&D program.

Results of Operations

The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to three reportable segments: The Treatment, Services, and Medical Segments. Our Medical Segment encompasses the operations of our majority-owned Polish subsidiary, PF Medical, which has not generated any revenue and all costs incurred are included within R&D.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses increased $458,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the corresponding period for 2016, as follows:

(In thousands)	2017		% Revenue		2016		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	1,244		—	$	1,270		—	$	(26	)
Treatment		856		8.9		906		11.3		(50	)
Services		733		23.8		199		2.9		534
Total	$	2,833		22.3	$	2,375		16.0	$	458

The increase in total SG&A was primarily due to higher SG&A costs in the Services Segment. Services Segment SG&A increased by $534,000 primarily due to higher bad debt expense of approximately $459,000. During the second quarter of 2016, the Services Segment recorded a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately $364,000 resulting from a reduction in allowance for doubtful accounts as a previously uncertain account receivable was determined to be collectible at June 30, 2016. The remaining increase in Services Segment SG&A was primarily due to higher outside services expenses of approximately $16,000 and higher salaries and payroll related expenses of approximately $59,000. The decrease in Administrative SG&A was primarily the result of lower salaries and payroll related expenses of approximately $23,000 and lower amortization expense of approximately $37,000 as we recorded a patent write-off during the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in costs was partially offset by higher outside services expenses of approximately $34,000 resulting from more legal/consulting matters. Treatment SG&A was lower primarily due to lower salaries and payroll related costs of approximately $54,000 and lower general expenses of approximately $9,000 in various categories. The lower cost was partially offset by higher outside services expenses of approximately $13,000 resulting from more consulting matters. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $22,000 and $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

SG&A expenses increased $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the corresponding period for 2016, as follows:

(In thousands)	2017		% Revenue		2016		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	2,460		—	$	2,458		—	$	2
Treatment		1,753		8.9		1,907		12.6		(154	)
Services		1,471		25.6		1,066		11.0		405
Total	$	5,684		22.4	$	5,431		21.9	$	253

The increase in total SG&A was primarily due to higher SG&A costs in the Services Segment. Services Segment SG&A increased by $405,000 primarily due to higher bad debt expense of approximately $425,000. During the second quarter of 2016, the Services Segment recorded a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately $364,000 resulting from a reduction in allowance for doubtful accounts as a previously uncertain account receivable was determined to be collectible at June 30, 2016. The higher cost was partially reduced primarily by lower outside services costs resulting from fewer consulting/subcontract matters. The slight increase in Administrative SG&A was primarily the result of higher outside services expenses of approximately $111,000 resulting from more legal/consulting matters and higher travel expenses of approximately $14,000. The higher cost was mostly offset by lower salaries and payroll related expenses of approximately $45,000 and lower amortization expense of approximately $38,000 as we recorded a patent write-off during the second quarter of 2016. In addition, general expenses were lower by approximately $40,000 in various categories. Treatment SG&A was lower primarily due to lower salaries and payroll related costs of approximately $164,000 from lower headcount, lower travel expenses of $16,000, and lower general expenses of approximately $6,000. The lower cost was partially offset by higher outside services expenses of approximately $32,000 resulting from more consulting matters. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $43,000 and $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

R&D

R&D expenses increased $65,000 and decreased $120,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2016.

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30
(In thousands)	2017		2016		Change			2017		2016		Change
Administrative	$	7	$	11	$	(4	)	$	15	$	15	$	-
Treatment		62		120		(58	)		243		226		17
Services		—		7		(7	)		—		33		(33	)
PF Medical		550		416		134			750		854		(104	)
Total	$	619	$	554	$	65		$	1,008	$	1,128	$	(120	)

R&D costs consist primarily of employee salaries and benefits, laboratory costs, third party fees, and other related costs associated with the development of new technologies and technological enhancement of new potential waste treatment processes. The increase in R&D costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily in the Medical Segment. The increase was primarily due to additional legal costs incurred of approximately $289,000. The decrease in R&D costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016 was primarily in the Medical Segment. As disclosed previously, our Medical Segment reduced substantially its R&D activities in late 2016 due to the need for capital to fund such activities. We anticipate that our Medical Segment will not resume full R&D activities until it obtains the necessary funding. This decrease was partially offset by the additional legal costs incurred as discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased approximately $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest from our declining term loan balance and lower average revolver loan balance outstanding. Also, interest was lower resulting from declining loan balance from the $3,000,000 loan dated August 2, 2013, which was paid in full by us in August 2016. Interest expense decreased approximately $87,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period of 2016 primarily due to $68,000 in loss on debt extinguishment that we recorded in the first quarter of 2016 resulting from an amendment dated March 24, 2016 that we entered into with our lender which extended the due date of our credit facility, among other things, to March 24, 2021. Excluding this $68,000 loss on debt extinguishment, the lower interest expense was primarily due to the same reasons as discussed above for the second quarter of 2017.

Interest Expense- Financing Fees

Interest expense-financing fees decreased approximately $20,000 and $67,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2016. The decrease for each period was primarily due to lower monthly amortized financing fees resulting from our amended credit facility pursuant to the amendment dated March 24, 2016 as discussed above. The decrease was also the result of final amortization of debt discount as financing fees in August 2016 in connection with the issuance of our common stock and two warrants to certain lenders as consideration for the Company receiving a $3,000,000 loan which was paid off by the Company in August 2016.

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Our discontinued operations consist of all our subsidiaries included in our Industrial Segment: (1) subsidiaries divested in 2011 and prior, (2) two previously closed locations, and (3) our PFSG facility, which is currently in the process of undergoing closure, subject to regulatory approval of necessary plans and permits.

Our discontinued operations had no revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and the corresponding period of 2016. We had net losses of $160,000 and $291,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We had net losses of $264,000 and $431,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flow requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily financed by our operations, credit facility availability, and the restricted finite risk sinking funds that were released back to us from the cancellation of the financial assurance policy for our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) subsidiary (see “Investing Activities” below for further information of this finite sinking fund and the new closure mechanism acquired for the PFNWR subsidiary). Our cash flow requirements for the remainder of 2017 and into the first nine months of 2018 will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, remediation projects, planned capital expenditures, and closure spending requirements of approximately $2,745,000 in connection with the pending shut down of our M&EC facility. We plan to fund these requirements from our operations, our credit facility availability and the remaining finite risk sinking funds that we received in connection with the cancellation of our PFNWR financial assurance policy. We continue to explore all sources of increasing revenue. We are continually reviewing operating costs and are committed to further reducing operating costs to bring them in line with revenue levels, when necessary. Although there are no assurances, we believe that our cash flows from operations, our available liquidity from our credit facility, and the remaining finite risk sinking funds that we received are sufficient to fund our operations for the remainder of 2017 and into the first nine months of 2018. As previously disclosed, during the latter part of 2016, our Medical Segment reduced substantially its R&D activities due to the need for capital to fund such activities. We anticipate that our Medical Segment will not resume full R&D activities until it obtains the necessary funding through obtaining its own credit facility or additional equity raise. Our Medical Segment continues to seek various sources in order to raise this funding. If the Medical Segment is unable to raise the necessary capital, the Medical Segment could be required to further reduce or delay or eliminate its R&D program.

The following table reflects the cash flow activities during the first six months of 2017:

(In thousands)	2017
Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations	$	(744	)
Cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations		(284	)
Cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations		5,771
Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations		34
Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations		(4,412	)
Effect of exchange rate changes in cash		7
Increase in cash	$	372

At June 30, 2017, we were in a positive cash position and no revolving credit balance. At June 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of approximately $535,000. The cash balance at June 30, 2017, primarily represents remaining restricted cash finite sinking funds released back to us resulting from the cancellation of our PFNWR financial assurance policy and account balances for our foreign subsidiaries.

Operating Activities

Accounts receivable (including Accounts receivable – non-current), net of allowances for doubtful accounts, totaled $8,589,000 at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $328,000 from the December 31, 2016 balance of $8,917,000. The decrease was primarily due to increased accounts receivable collections. We provide a variety of payment terms to our customers; therefore, our accounts receivable are impacted by these terms and the related timing of accounts receivable collections.

Accounts payable, totaled $3,911,000 at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $333,000 from the December 31, 2016 balance of $4,244,000. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of the payment of our accounts payables. Also, we continue to manage payment terms with our vendors to maximize our cash position throughout all segments.

Disposal/transportation accrual at June 30, 2017, totaled $1,785,000, an increase of $395,000 over the December 31, 2016 balance of $1,390,000. Our disposal accrual can vary based on revenue mix and the timing of waste shipments for final disposal. During the six months of 2017, we shipped less waste for disposal.

We had a working capital deficit of $825,000 (which included working capital of our discontinued operations) at June 30, 2017, as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,131,000 at December 31, 2016. The improvement in our working capital was primarily the result of the pay down of our payables and the receipt of the finite risk sinking funds from the cancellation of our PFNWR financial assurance policy. The funds received were used to pay off our revolver credit which is included in long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remaining funds to be used for working capital purposes. Our working capital was negatively impacted by the reclassification of approximately $881,000 in accrued closure costs in the first quarter of 2017 from long-term to current resulting from expected spending relating to the pending closure of our M&EC facility.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our purchases of capital equipment totaled approximately $116,000. These expenditures were primarily for improvements in our Treatment and Services Segments. These capital expenditures were funded by cash from operations. We had budgeted approximately $1,000,000 for 2017 capital expenditures for our Treatment and Services Segments to maintain operations and regulatory compliance requirements. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company’s Board approved an additional $630,000 in capital expenditure for expanding the range of waste streams that can be accepted for treatment and processing. Certain of these budgeted projects may either be delayed until later years or deferred altogether. We have traditionally incurred actual capital spending totals for a given year at less than the initial budgeted amount. We plan to fund our capital expenditures from cash from operations and/or financing. The initiation and timing of projects are also determined by financing alternatives or funds available for such capital projects.

We had a closure policy dated August 2007 for our PFNWR facility with AIG (“PFNWR policy”) which provided financial assurance to the State of Washington in the event of closure of the PFNWR facility. In April 2017, we received final releases from state and federal regulators for the PFNWR policy which enabled us to cancel the PFNWR policy resulting in the release of approximately $5,951,000 on May 1, 2017 in finite sinking funds previously held by AIG as collateral for the PFNWR policy. We used the released finite sinking funds to pay off our revolving credit with the remaining funds to be used for general working capital needs. We have acquired new bonds in the required amount of approximately $7,000,000 (“new bonds”) to replace the PFNWR policy in providing financial assurance for the PFNWR facility. Upon receipt of the $5,951,000 in finite sinking funds from AIG, we and our lender executed a standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 as collateral for the new bonds for the PFNWR facility.

Financing Activities

We entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011 (“Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Amended Loan Agreement”), provides us with the following credit facility with a maturity date of March 24, 2021: (a) up to $12,000,000 revolving credit (“revolving credit”), subject to the amount of borrowings based on a percentage of eligible receivables (as defined) and (b) a term loan (“term loan”) of approximately $6,100,000, which requires monthly installments of approximately $101,600 (based on a seven-year amortization).

Under the Amended Loan Agreement, we have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit at prime plus 2% or London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3% and the term loan at prime plus 2.5% or LIBOR plus 3.5%.

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 had paid off our obligations on or before March 23, 2017, .50% of the total financing if we pay off our obligations after March 23, 2017 but prior to or on March 23, 2018, and .25% of the total financing if we pay off our obligations after March 23, 2018 but prior to or on March 23, 2019. No early termination fee shall apply if we pay off our obligations after March 23, 2019.

At June 30, 2017, the availability under our revolving credit was $3,302,000, based on our eligible receivables and includes an indefinite reduction of borrowing availability of $2,000,000 that our lender has imposed, which includes $750,000 that was imposed immediately upon the receipt of the $5,951,000 in finite sinking funds by us in connection with cancellation of our PFNWR policy, pursuant a “Condition Subsequent” clause in the November 17, 2016 amendment that we entered into with our lender (see “Investing Activities” above for further discussion of the receipt of the finite risk sinking funds in connection with our PFNWR facility).

Our credit facility with PNC contains certain financial covenants, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our credit facility allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our credit facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The following table details the quarterly financial covenant requirements under our credit facility at June 30, 2017.

We met our quarterly financial covenants in the first and second quarters of 2017 and we expect to meet these quarterly financial covenant requirements in each of the remaining quarters of 2017 and through the first nine months of 2018; however, if we fail to meet any of these quarterly financial covenant requirements as noted above and our lender does not waive the non-compliance or revise our covenant so that we are in compliance, our lender could accelerate the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. In the event that our lender accelerates the payment of our borrowings, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay our debt under our credit facility and other indebtedness.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have a number of routine operating leases, primarily related to office space rental, office equipment rental and equipment rental for contract projects as of June 30, 2017, which total approximately $532,000, payable as follows: $341,000 in the remainder of 2017 with the remaining $191,000 in 2018.

From time to time, we are required to post standby letters of credit and various bonds to support contractual obligations to customers and other obligations, including facility closures. At June 30, 2017, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $2,675,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $8,253,000. The Company also provides closure and post-closure requirements through a financial assurance policy for certain of our Treatment Segment facilities through AIG. At June 30, 2017, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $27,473,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no significant changes in our accounting policies or critical accounting estimates that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Significant Customers. Our Treatment and Services Segments have significant relationships with the federal government, and continue to enter into contracts, directly as the prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor, with the federal government. The U.S Department of Energy (“DOE”) and U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) represent major customers for our Treatment Segment and Services Segments. The contracts that we are a party to with the federal government or with others as a subcontractor to the federal government generally provide that the government may terminate or renegotiate the contracts on 30 days notice, at the government's election. Our inability to continue under existing contracts that we have with the federal government (directly or indirectly as a subcontractor) or significant reductions in the level of governmental funding in any given year could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition.

We performed services relating to waste generated by the federal government, either directly as a prime contractor or indirectly as a subcontractor to the federal government, representing approximately $9,598,000 or 75.5% and $18,976,000 or 74.6% of our total revenues generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $6,576,000 or 44.4% and $12,941,000 or 52.1% of our total revenue generated during the corresponding period of 2016, respectively.

Environmental Contingencies

We are engaged in the waste management services segment of the pollution control industry. As a participant in the on-site treatment, storage and disposal market and the off-site treatment and services market, we are subject to rigorous federal, state and local regulations. These regulations mandate strict compliance and therefore are a cost and concern to us. Because of their integral role in providing quality environmental services, we make every reasonable attempt to maintain complete compliance with these regulations; however, even with a diligent commitment, we, along with many of our competitors, may be required to pay fines for violations or investigate and potentially remediate our waste management facilities.

We routinely use third party disposal companies, who ultimately destroy or secure landfill residual materials generated at our facilities or at a client's site. In the past, numerous third party disposal sites have improperly managed waste and consequently require remedial action; consequently, any party utilizing these sites may be liable for some or all of the remedial costs. Despite our aggressive compliance and auditing procedures for disposal of wastes, we could further be notified, in the future, that we are a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a remedial action site, which could have a material adverse effect.

Our subsidiaries where remediation expenditures will be made are at three sites within our discontinued operations. While no assurances can be made that we will be able to do so, we expect to fund the expenses to remediate these sites from funds generated internally.

At June 30, 2017, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $885,000, of which $637,000 is recorded as a current liability, which reflects a decrease of $40,000 from the December 31, 2016 balance of $925,000. The decrease represents payments on remediation projects at Perma-Fix of South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”) and Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”) of $1,000 and $39,000, respectively.

	There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) in the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

There are no additional material legal proceedings pending against us and/or our subsidiaries not previously reported by us in Item 3 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There has been no other material change from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except as follows:

Shareholder Activism Could Cause Material Disruption to Our Business

Our Board is currently reviewing a recent investor communication as to the Company’s strategic direction. Investor activism can divert management attention and resources, thereby creating uncertainty and harm our business, and among other ways, by hindering execution of our business strategy and initiatives. This in turn can adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and making it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.
