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, 2017.

 

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, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

 

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, 2017.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies are as set forth in the notes to the December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements referred to above.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” followed by a series of related accounting standard updates (collectively referred to as “Topic 606”), which superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. Under the new standard, a five-step process is utilized in order to determine revenue recognition, depicting 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. Topic 606 also requires additional disclosure surrounding 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. Topic 606 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The new standard permits two implementation approaches: the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach to all contracts as of date of adoption. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially adopting Topic 606 as an increase of approximately $317,000 to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018. The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in significant changes to our revenue recognition model within our Treatment and Services Segments. The cumulative impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018 was primarily driven by changes to the timing of revenue recognition in certain immaterial waste streams within our Treatment Segment. See “Note 3 – Revenue” for additional disclosures related to our revenues under the new standard. The comparative previous period information continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. We expect the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements on an on-going basis.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to our January 1, 2018 unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of Topic 606 was as follows (in thousands):

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. Although ASU 2016-18 does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, it states that amounts generally described as restricted cash and 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 retrospectively adopted these ASUs effectively January 1, 2018 and has included finite risk sinking funds (included in other long term assets of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Balance Sheets) of $15,807,000 and $15,608,000 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as well as previously reported cash, when reconciling the beginning-of- period and end-of-period cash and restricted cash on the accompanying Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company’s finite risk sinking funds represent cash held as collateral under the Company’s financial assurance policy (see “Note 9 – Commitment and Contingencies – Insurance” for a discussion of the Company’s finite risk sinking funds). The adoption of these ASUs by the Company effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

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 adoption of ASU 2016-16 by the Company effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

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 adoption of ASU 2017-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or 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 adoption of ASU 2017-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted

 

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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases),” which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. For public companies, both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. These ASUs are effective January 1, 2019 for the Company. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting these standards on our financial statements.

 

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This ASU allows for the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act between “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU relates to the requirement that adjustments to deferred tax liabilities and assets related to a change in tax laws or rates to be included in “Income from continuing operations”, even in situations where the related items were originally recognized in “Other comprehensive income” (rather than in “Income from continuing operations”). ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the tax laws or rates were recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

3. Revenue

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, which we adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The majority of our revenue is derived from short term contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

 

Performance Obligation

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Treatment Segment Revenues:

 

Contracts in our Treatment Segment have a single performance obligation as the promise to receive, treat and dispose of waste is not separately identifiable in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Performance obligations are generally satisfied over time using the input method. Under the input method, the Company uses a measure of progress divided into major phases which include receipt, treatment/processing and shipment/final disposal. As major processing phases are completed and the costs are incurred, the proportional percentage of revenue is recognized. Transaction price for Treatment Segment contracts are determined by the stated fixed rate per unit price as stipulated in the contract.

 

Services Segment Revenues:

 

Revenues for our Services Segment are generated from time and materials, cost reimbursement or fixed price arrangements:

 

The Company’s primary obligation to customers in time and materials contracts relate to the provision of services to the customer at the direction of the customer. This provision of services at the request of the customer is the performance obligation, which is satisfied over time. Revenue earned from time and materials contracts is determined using the input method and is based on contractually defined billing rates applied to services performed and materials delivered.

 

The Company’s primary performance obligation to customers in cost reimbursement contracts is to complete certain tasks and work streams. Each specified work stream or task within the contract is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is calculated using an estimated cost to complete the various scope items to achieve the performance obligation as stipulated in the contract. An estimate is prepared for each individual scope item in the contract and the transaction price is allocated on a time and materials basis as services are provided. Revenue from cost reimbursement contracts is recognized over time using the input method based on costs incurred, plus a proportionate amount of fee earned.

 

Under fixed price contracts, the objective of the project is not attained unless all scope items within the contract are completed and all of the services promised within fixed fee contracts constitute a single performance obligation. Transaction price is estimated based upon the estimated cost to complete the overall project. Revenue from fixed price contract is recognized over time using the output method based on the percentage of project completion multiplied by the total fee as a measure of progress.

The nature of our contracts does not give rise to variable consideration.

 

Significant Payment Terms

 

Invoicing is based on schedules established in customer contracts. Payment terms vary by customers but are generally established at 30 days from invoicing.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

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

 

Revenue by Contract Type

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables (contract assets). The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues which represents advance payment from customers in advance of the completion of our performance obligation.

 

The following table represents changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances:

 

           Year-to-date   Year-to-date 
(In thousands)  June 30, 2018   January 1, 2018   Change ($)   Change (%) 
Contract assets                    
Account receivables, net of allowance  $6,075   $7,940   $(1,865)   (23.5)%
Unbilled receivables - current   3,018    4,547    (1,529)   (33.6)%
Unbilled receivables - non-current   129    184    (55)   (29.9)%
                     
Contract liabilities                    
Deferred revenue  $4,472   $5,083   $(611)   (12.0)%

 

The net decrease in our contract assets was primarily due to accounts receivable collections outpacing invoicing. The Company provides various payment terms to our customers; therefore, our accounts receivable are impacted by these terms and the related timing of accounts receivable collections.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $1,629,000 and $5,440,000, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized revenue of $1,370,000 and $4,346,000, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year. All revenue recognized in each period related to performance obligations satisfied within the respective period.

 

Incremental Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

Costs incurred to obtain contracts with our customers are immaterial and as a result, the Company expenses (within selling, general and administration expenses (“SG&A”)) incremental costs incurred in obtaining contracts with our customer as incurred.

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

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

 

The Company applies the transition practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-65-1(f)(3) and does not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue for periods prior to the adoption of Topic 606.

Total     $5,019   $(3,602)  $1,417   $4,982   $(3,433)  $1,549 

 

The intangible assets noted above are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated 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 
Year  (In thousands) 
     
2018 (remaining)  $167 
2019   254 
2020   218 
2121   198 
2022   173 

 

Amortization expenses relating to the definite-lived intangible assets as discussed above were $85,000 and $169,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $95,000 and $189,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

5. 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 18, 2018, the Company granted 6,000 options from the Company’s 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan to a new director elected by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) to fill a vacancy on the Board. The options granted were for a contractual term of ten years with a vesting period of six months. The exercise price of the options was $4.05 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 January 13, 2017, the Company granted 6,000 options from the Company’s 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan to a new director elected by the Company’s Board to fill a vacancy on the Board. The options granted were for a contractual term of ten years with a vesting period of six months. The exercise price of the options 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.

 

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 fair value of the options granted on January 18, 2018 and January 13, 2017 as discussed above and the related assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option model used to value the options granted were as follows:

 

14
 

 

   Outside Director Stock Options Granted 
   January 18, 2018   January 13, 2017 
Weighted-average fair value per option  $2.55   $2.63 
Risk -free interest rate (1)   2.62%   2.40%
Expected volatility of stock (2)   57.29%   56.32%
Dividend yield   None    None 
Expected option life (3)   10.0 years    10.0 years 

 

(1) The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date over the expected term of the option.
   
(2) The expected volatility is based on historical volatility from our traded Common Stock over the expected term of the option.
   
(3) The expected option life is based on historical exercises and post-vesting data.

 

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 for our employee and director stock options.

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
Stock Options  June 30,   June 30, 
   2018   2017   2018   2017 
Employee Stock Options  $37,000   $11,000   $73,000   $21,000 
Director Stock Options   8,000    8,000    18,000    20,000 
Total  $45,000   $19,000   $91,000   $41,000 

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company has approximately $503,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, of which $75,000 is expected to be recognized in remaining 2018, $126,000 in 2019, $114,000 in 2020, $114,000 in 2021, with the remaining $74,000 in 2022.

 

The summary of the Company’s total Stock Option Plans as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, and changes during the periods then ended, are presented below. The Company’s Plans consist of the 2010 and 2017 Stock Option Plans and the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan:

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued a total of 31,567 shares of its Common Stock under the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan to its outside directors as compensation for serving on our Board. The Company has recorded approximately $130,000 in compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (included in selling, general and administration expenses) in connection with the issuance of shares of its common stock to outside directors.

 

On May 1, 2018, Robert Ferguson exercised an option from the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan for the purchase of 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $3.65 per share, resulting in total proceeds received by the Company in the amount of $36,500. Robert Ferguson is a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s Test Bed Initiative (“TBI”) at its Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. facility and is also an advisor to the Company’s Board of Directors. The option exercised by Robert Ferguson was granted to him on July 27, 2017 in connection with his consulting work for the TBI.

 

6. 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 income (loss) and average share amounts used to compute both basic and diluted income (loss) per share:

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 (“Amended Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Amended Loan Agreement has been amended from time to time since the execution of the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Revised 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”) 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). The maximum that we can borrow under the revolving credit is based on a percentage of eligible receivables (as defined) at any one time reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit and borrowing reductions that our lender may impose from time to time.

 

Under the Revised Loan Agreement, we have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit at prime (5.00% at June 30, 2018) 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 Revised Loan Agreement, the Company may terminate the Revised Loan Agreement, upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of its obligations under the Revised Loan Agreement. The Company agreed to pay PNC 1.0% of the total financing had the Company paid off its obligations on or before March 23, 2017, .50% of the total financing had the Company paid 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, 2018, the borrowing availability under our revolving credit was approximately $3,051,000, based on our eligible receivables and includes an indefinite reduction of borrowing availability of $2,000,000 that the Company’s lender has imposed (see “Note 14 – Subsequent Event – Credit Facility” for a discussion on the release by the Company’s lender on July 26, 2018 of $1,000,000 of the $2,000,000 in borrowing availability reduction previously imposed). Our borrowing availability under our revolving credit was also reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit totaling approximately $2,660,000.

 

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 2018 and expects to meet its quarterly financial covenants in each of the remaining quarters of 2018 and into the first nine months of 2019.

 

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

 

The Company continues its plan to close its M&EC facility. Operations at the M&EC facility are limited to the decommissioning and deconstruction of leased premises and related improvements, and equipment removal. The Company continues to transition operational capabilities to our other Treatment Segment facilities, subject to customer requirements and regulatory approvals. The Company continues with closure and decommissioning activities in accordance with M&EC’s license and permit requirements and currently expects to complete on-site M&EC facility closure activities on or before September 30, 2018.

 

At June 30, 2018, total accrued closure liabilities for our M&EC subsidiary totaled approximately $924,000 which are recorded as current liabilities. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an additional $1,215,000 in closure costs and current closure liabilities due to changes in estimated future closure costs. The following reflects changes to the closure liabilities for the M&EC facility from year end 2017:

9. 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. At June 30, 2018, our financial assurance coverage amount under this policy totaled approximately $29,911,000. The Company has recorded $15,807,000 and $15,676,000 in sinking funds related to this policy in other long term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which includes interest earned of $1,255,000 and $1,205,000 on the sinking funds as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was approximately $81,000 and $131,000, respectively. Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, was approximately $34,000 and $61,000, 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.

 

Letter of Credits and Bonding Requirements

 

From time to time, the Company is required to post standby letters of credit and various bonds to support contractual obligations to customers and other obligations, including facility closures. At June 30, 2018, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $2,660,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $8,943,000.

 

10. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company’s 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 undergoing closure, subject to final regulatory approval.

MEDICAL SEGMENT reporting includes: R&D costs for the new medical isotope production technology from our majority-owned Polish subsidiary, PF Medical. The Medical Segment has not generated any revenue as it continues to be primarily in the R&D stage. All costs incurred for the Medical Segment are reflected within R&D in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As previously disclosed, during 2016, the Medical Segment ceased a substantial portion of its R&D activities for the medical isotope production technology due to the need for substantial capital to fund such activities. The Company does not anticipate that the Medical Segment will restart such activities until it obtains such funding.

 

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

 

The table below presents certain financial information of our operating segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands).
