Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020

(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, 2019.

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company (which may be referred to as we, us or our), without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company suggests that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts, those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and our majority-owned Polish subsidiary, Perma-Fix Medical. Additionally, the Company’s financial statements include the account of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), Perma-Fix ERRG for which we are the primary beneficiary (See “Note 14 - VIE” for a discussion of this VIE).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are as set forth in the notes to the December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements referred to above.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 by the Company effective January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 848”): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another rate that is expected to be discontinued. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 on March 12, 2020 by the Company did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company will continue to assess the potential impact of this ASU through the effective period.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” ASU 2019-05 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” ASU 2019-11 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” and ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)” (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables and loans. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. These ASUs are effective January 1, 2023 for the Company as a smaller reporting company. The Company had expected to early adopt theses ASUs effective January 1, 2020; however, due to the need for reallocation of the Company’s resources to manage COVID-19 related matters, the Company has deferred adoption of theses ASUs effective January 1, 2020 and expect to adopt these ASUs by January 1, 2023.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” This guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3. COVID-19 Impact

The spread of COVID-19 continues to result in significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. As previously reported, the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in a material impact to the Company’s first quarter 2020 results of operations; however, the Company’s second quarter results of operations were impacted by the shutdown of a number of projects and the delays of certain waste shipments which began in late March 2020 that continued into the second quarter of 2020. As states began to lift stay-at-home orders, along with certain other restrictions since the start of the pandemic, in the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, the Company was able to restart on a number, but not all, of the projects that were previously shutdown. Despite these project shutdowns, revenues within our Services Segment in the second quarter of 2020 exceeded the corresponding period of 2019 by approximately $7,166,000. The Company continues to experience some delays in waste shipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment due to the planning time that is required by these customers to restart waste shipments as they return to work on-site. These continued project shutdowns and waste shipment delays may impact the Company’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2020 and potentially the remainder of fiscal year 2020.

At this time, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $5,630,000 and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of $12,330,000 based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. The Company’s cash at June 30, 2020 included proceeds received from a loan in the amount of approximately $5,666,000 (“PPP Loan”) in April 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) that was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”) was signed into law, amending the CARES Act (see “Note 9 – Long Term Debt –PPP Loan” for further detail of this loan. Additionally, see “Note 16 – Subsequent Event – PPP Loan” for the discussion of the repayment of approximately $327,000 of the PPP Loan the Company made on July 9, 2020). The Company continues to assess reducing operating costs during this volatile time, which include curtailing capital expenditures, eliminating non-essential expenditures and implementing a hiring freeze as needed.

The Company is closely monitoring our customers’ payment performance. However, as a significant portion of our revenues is derived from government related contracts, the Company does not expect its accounts receivable collections to be materially impacted due to COVID-19.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 continues to remain fluid. The potential for a material impact on the Company’s business increases the longer COVID-19 impacts the level of economic activities in the United States and globally as our customers may continue to delay waste shipments and project work may shut down again. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity which may impact our ability to meet our financial covenant requirements under our credit facility. Given the current economic environment and the market volatility from COVID-19, the Company considered whether these events or changes in circumstances triggered the need for an interim impairment analysis of our long-lived assets and intangible assets. Based on the Company’s assessment of the impact of these conditions on our business, the Company determined there was no triggering event as of June 30, 2020. However, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, the Company will continue to assess the need to perform interim impairment tests of our long-lived assets and intangible assets.

The CARES Act, as amended, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforwards, corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) provisions, net interest expense deduction, and deferment of social security tax payments. The Company elected to defer payment of its shares of social security taxes starting in April 2020 (see “Note 15 – Deferral of Employment Tax Deposits”). The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of the CARES Act, as amended, and how certain other elections may impact our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures, if elected.

4. Revenue

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 nature of the Company’s performance obligations within our Treatment and Services Segments result in the recognition of our revenue primarily over time. The following tables present further disaggregation of our revenues by different categories for our Services and Treatment Segments:

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, 2020		December 31, 2019		Change ($)			Change (%)
Contract assets
Account receivables, net of allowance	$	10,806	$	13,178	$	(2,372	)		(18.0	)%
Unbilled receivables - current		11,069		7,984		3,085			38.6	%

Contract liabilities
Deferred revenue	$	3,699	$	5,456	$	(1,757	)		(32.2	)%

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $2,516,000 and $6,539,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $2,865,000 and $7,442,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. Revenue recognized in each period related to performance obligations satisfied within the respective period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company applies the practical expedient in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Within our Services Segment, there are service contracts which provide that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice; accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for those contracts.

5. Leases

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities represent primarily leases for office spaces used to conduct our business. These leases have remaining terms of approximately 4 to 10 years which include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms from 3 years to 8 years (which are included in valuing our ROU assets and liabilities). As most of our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when determining the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the Company’s secured borrowing rate, lease terms and current economic environment. Some of our operating leases include both lease (rent payments) and non-lease components (maintenance costs such as cleaning and landscaping services). The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for lease component and non-lease component as a single component for all leases. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases primarily consist of processing and transport equipment used by our facilities’ operations. Our finance leases also includes a building with land for our waste treatment operations. The Company’s finance leases generally have terms between one to three years and most of the leases include options to purchase the underlying assets at fair market value at the conclusion of the lease term. The lease for the building and land has a term of two year with option to buy at the end of the lease term which the Company is reasonably certain exercise.

The Company adopted the policy to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for short term leases.

The components of lease cost for the Company’s leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

7. Capital Stock, Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

The Company has certain stock option plans under which it may award incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and/or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) to employees, officers, outside directors, and outside consultants.

On February 4, 2020, the Company granted 6,000 NQSOs from the Company’s 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plan (“2003 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 $7.00 per share, which was equal to the Company’s closing stock price per share the day preceding the grant date, pursuant to the 2003 Plan.

On January 17, 2019 the Company granted 105,000 ISOs from the 2017 Stock Option Plan (“2017 Plan”) to certain employees, which included our executive officers as follows: 25,000 ISOs to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”); 15,000 ISOs to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”); and 15,000 ISOs to our Executive Vice President (“EVP”) of Strategic Initiatives. The ISOs granted were for a contractual term of six years with one-fifth vesting annually over a five year period. The exercise price of the ISO was $3.15 per share, which was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock per share on the date of grant.

The Company granted a NQSO to Robert Ferguson on July 27, 2017 from the Company’s 2017 Plan for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Ferguson Stock Option”) in connection with his work as a consultant to the Company’s Test Bed Initiative (“TBI”) at our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) facility at an exercise price of $3.65 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of the Ferguson Stock Option is seven years from the grant date. The vesting of the Ferguson Stock Option is subject to the achievement of three separate milestones by certain dates. On January 17, 2019, the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“Compensation Committee”) and Board approved an amendment to the Ferguson Stock Option whereby the vesting date for the second milestone for the purchase of up to 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was extended to March 31, 2020 from January 27, 2019. On March 27, 2020, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved another amendment to the Ferguson Stock Option whereby the vesting date for the second milestone was further extended to December 31, 2021 from March 31, 2020 and the vesting date for the third milestone for the purchase of up to 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was extended to December 31, 2022 from January 27, 2021. The 10,000 options under the first milestone were exercised by Robert Ferguson in May 2018. The Company has not recognized compensation costs (fair value of approximately $334,000 at June 30, 2020) for the remaining 90,000 Ferguson Stock Option under the remaining two milestones since achievement of the performance obligation under each of the two remaining milestones is uncertain at June 30, 2020. All other terms of the Ferguson Stock Option remain unchanged.

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 February 4, 2020 and January 17, 2019 as discussed above and the related assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option model used to value the options granted were as follows:

	Outside Director Stock Options Granted			Employee Stock Option Granted
	February 4, 2020			January 17, 2019
Weighted-average fair value per option	$	4.89		$	1.42
Risk -free interest rate ⁽¹⁾		1.61	%		2.58	%
Expected volatility of stock ⁽²⁾		55.83	%		48.67	%
Dividend yield		None			None
Expected option life ⁽³⁾		10.0 years			5.0 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, 2020 and 2019 for our employee and director stock options.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
Stock Options	June 30,				June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Employee Stock Options	$	33,000	$	36,000	$	65,000	$	79,000
Director Stock Options		15,000		―		27,000		5,000
Total	$	48,000	$	36,000	$	92,000	$	84,000

At June 30, 2020, the Company has approximately $335,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options for employee and directors. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized is approximately 2.6 years.

The summary of the Company’s total Stock Option Plans as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and changes during the periods then ended, are presented below. The Company’s Plans consist of the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the 2017 Plans and the 2003 Plan:

Additionally, the Company issued 1,884 shares of its Common Stock from cashless exercises of 8,000 and 2,500 options at $3.60 per share and $3.15 per share, respectively.

8. 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:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

The Amended Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Revised Loan Agreement”), provided 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. The maximum that the Company can borrow under the revolving credit was 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.

Payment of annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit under the Revised Loan Agreement was at prime (3.25% at June 30, 2020) plus 2% and the term loan at prime plus 2.5%.

On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “New Loan Agreement”) with PNC, replacing our previous Revised Loan Agreement with PNC. The New Loan Agreement provides the Company with the following credit facility:

	●	up to $18,000,000 revolving credit facility, subject to the amount of borrowings based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves; and

	●	a term loan of $1,741,818, which requires monthly installments of $35,547.

The New Loan Agreement terminates as of May 15, 2024, unless sooner terminated.

Similar to our Revised Loan Agreement, the New Loan Agreement requires the Company to meet certain customary financial covenants, including, among other things, a minimum Tangible Adjusted Net Worth requirement of $27,000,000 at all times; maximum capital spending of $6,000,000 annually; and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) requirement of 1.15:1.

Under the New Loan agreement, payment of annual rate of interest due on the credit facility is as follows:

●	revolving credit at prime plus 2.50% or London InterBank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.50% and the term loan at prime plus 3.00% or LIBOR plus 4.00%. The Company can only elect to use the LIBOR interest payment option after it becomes compliant with meeting the minimum FCCR of 1.15:1; and

●

Upon the achievement of a FCCR of greater than 1.25:1, the Company will have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit at prime plus 2.00% or LIBOR plus 3.00% and the term loan at prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50%. The Company met this FCCR in the first and second quarters of 2020. Upon meeting the FCCR of 1.25:1, this interest payment option will remain in place in the event that the Company’s future FCCR falls below 1.25:1.

Under the LIBOR option of interest payment noted above, a LIBOR floor of 0.75% shall apply in the event that LIBOR falls below 0.75% at any point in time.

Pursuant to the New Loan Agreement, the Company may terminate the New Loan Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of our obligations under the New Loan Agreement. The Company has agreed to pay PNC 1.0% of the total financing in the event we pay off our obligations on or before May 7, 2021 and 0.5% of the total financing if we pay off our obligations after May 7, 2021 but prior to or on May 7, 2022. No early termination fee shall apply if we pay off our obligations under the New Loan Agreement after May 7, 2022.

In connection with New Loan Agreement, the Company paid its lender a fee of $50,000 and incurred other direct costs of approximately $35,000, which are being amortized over the term of the New Loan Agreement as interest expense-financing fees. As a result of the termination of the Revised Loan Agreement, the Company recorded approximately $27,000 in loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishment.”

At June 30, 2020, the borrowing availability under our revolving credit was approximately $12,330,000, based on our eligible receivables and includes a reduction an in borrowing availability of approximately $3,126,000 from outstanding standby letters of credit.

The Company’s credit facility under its Revised and New Loan Agreement 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 FCCR requirement in the first and second quarters of 2020. Additionally, the Company met its remaining financial covenant requirements in the first and second quarters of 2020.

Loan and Securities Purchase Agreement, Promissory Note and Subordination Agreement

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed a lending transaction with Robert Ferguson (the “Lender”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lender the sum of $2,500,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note (the “Loan”). The Lender is a shareholder of the Company and also serves as a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s TBI at its PFNWR subsidiary. The proceeds from the Loan were used for general working capital purposes. The Loan is unsecured, with a term of two years with interest payable at a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum. The Loan provides for monthly payments of accrued interest only during the first year of the Loan, with the first interest payment due May 1, 2019 and monthly payments of approximately $208,333 in principal plus accrued interest starting in the second year of the Loan. The Loan also allows for prepayment of principal payments over the term of the Loan without penalty with such prepayment of principal payments to be applied to the second year of the loan payments at the Company’s discretion. Since inception of the loan, the Company has made total prepayments in principal of $936,000, of which $416,000 was made in the first six months of 2020. In connection with the above Loan, the Lender agreed under the terms of the Loan and a Subordination Agreement with our credit facility lender, 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 us. In connection with this capital raise transaction described above and consideration for us receiving the Loan, the Company issued a Warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Lender to purchase up to 60,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.51 per share, which was the closing bid price for a share of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.com immediately preceding the execution of the Loan and Warrant. The Warrant expires on April 1, 2024 and remains outstanding at June 30, 2020. As further consideration for this capital raise transaction relating to the Loan, the Company also issued 75,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Lender. The fair value of the Warrant and Common Stock and the related closing fees incurred from the transaction totaled approximately $398,000 and was recorded as debt discount/debt issuance costs, which is being amortized over the term of the loan as interest expense – financing fees. The 75,000 shares of Common Stock, the Warrant and the 60,000 shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Warrant were and will be issued in a private placement that was and will be exempt from registration under Rule 506 and/or Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and bear a restrictive legend against resale except in a transaction registered under the Act or in a transaction exempt from registration thereunder.

Upon default, the Lender will have the right to elect to receive in full and complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Loan either: (a) the cash amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance owing under the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Payoff Amount”) or (b) upon meeting certain conditions, the number of whole shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Payoff Shares”) determined by dividing the Payoff Amount by the dollar amount equal to the closing bid price of our Common Stock on the date immediately prior to the date of default, as reported or quoted on the primary nationally recognized exchange or automated quotation system on which our Common Stock is listed; provided however, that the dollar amount of such closing bid price shall not be less than $3.51, the closing bid price for our Common Stock as disclosed on NASDAQ.com immediately preceding the signing of this loan agreement.

If issued, the Payoff Shares will not be registered and the Lender will not be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Payoff Shares. The aggregate number of shares, warrant shares, and Payoff Shares that are or will be issued to the Lender pursuant to the Loan, together with the aggregate shares of the Company’s Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company owned by the Lender or which may be acquired by the Lender as of the date of issuance of the Payoff Shares, shall not exceed the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 14.9% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date immediately prior to the default, less the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Lender immediately prior to the date of such default plus the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired by the Lender under warrants and/or options outstanding immediately prior to the date of such default.

PPP Loan

On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with PNC, our credit facility lender, in the amount of $5,666,300 under the PPP (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP was established under the recently enacted CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On June 5, 2020, the Flexibility Act was signed into law which amended the CARES Act. The note evidencing the PPP Loan contains events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and provisions of the promissory note. (See “Note 16 – Subsequent Event – PPP Loan” for a discussion of a repayment of approximately $327,000 of the PPP Loan to PNC on July 9, 2020 which amount has been included in “current portion of long-term debt” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020).

Under the terms of the Flexibility Act, the Company can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds by the Company for eligible payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels for the covered period (which is defined as a 24 week period, beginning April 14, 2020, the date in which proceeds from the PPP Loan was disbursed to the Company by PNC). At least 60% of such forgiven amount must be used for eligible payroll costs. The Company expects to apply for forgiveness on repayment of the loan as permitted under the program, which is subject to the approval of our lender. If all or a portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, all or the remaining portion will be for a term of two years but can be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without any prepayment penalties. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.0% and no payments of principal or interest are due until the date that the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to our lender, provided that the Company submits its loan forgiveness application to our lender within ten months following the last day of the applicable covered period. While the Company’s PPP Loan currently has a two year maturity, the Flexibility Act permits the Company to request a five year maturity with our lender which the Company does not expect to request at this time.

10. 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 (“2003 Closure Policy”) with AIG Specialty Insurance Company (“AIG”), which provides financial assurance to the applicable states for our permitted facilities in the event of unforeseen closure. The 2003 Closure Policy, as amended, provides for a maximum allowable coverage of $28,177,000 which includes available capacity to allow for annual inflation and other performance and surety bond requirements. Total coverage under the 2003 Closure Policy, as amended, was $19,651,000 at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, finite risk sinking funds contributed by the Company related to the 2003 Closure Policy which is included in other long term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $11,390,000 and $11,307,000, respectively, which included interest earned of $1,919,000 and $1,836,000 on the finite risk sinking funds as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $27,000 and $83,000, respectively. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $107,000 and $188,000, respectively. If we so elect, AIG is obligated to pay the Company an amount equal to 100% of the finite risk sinking fund account balance in return for complete release of liability from both the Company 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, 2020, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding was approximately $3,126,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding was approximately $52,519,000.

13. 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.

The Company had income tax benefit of $9,000 and income tax expense of $5,000 for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and income tax expenses of $6,000 and $45,000 for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 3.6% and 0.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 1.6% and 34.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The tax benefit and expense for the periods above were comprised of state tax benefit and expense for separate company filing states. The Company’s tax rate for each of the periods discussed above was impacted by the Company’s full valuation on its net deferred tax assets.

The CARES Act, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforwards and AMT provisions. At this time, the Company is not expecting any effects to its tax provisions from the CARES Act. However, the Company will continue to monitor for any potential impact to its tax provisions from the CARES Act.

14. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

On May 24, 2019, the Company and Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. (“ERRG”) entered into an unpopulated joint venture agreement for project work bids within the Company’s Services Segment. The joint venture is doing business as Perma-Fix ERRG, a general partnership. The Company has a 51% partnership interest in the joint venture and ERRG has a 49% partnership interest in the joint venture. Activities under Perma-Fix ERRG did not commence until the first quarter of 2020.

The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested meet the criteria of a VIE at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. A VIE is a legal entity that satisfies any of the following characteristics: (a) the legal entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk; (b) the equity investors at risk as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (c) the legal entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights.

The Company consolidates a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Based on the Company’s evaluation of Perma-Fix ERRG and related agreements with Perma-Fix ERRG, the Company determined that Perma-Fix ERRG is a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2020, Perma-Fix ERRG had total assets of $2,523,000 and total liabilities of $2,523,000 which are all recorded as current.

15. Deferral of Employment Tax Deposits

The CARES Act, as amended by the Flexibility Act which was signed into law on June 5, 2020, provides employers the option to defer the payment of an employer’s share of social security taxes beginning on March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, among other things, 50% of the amount of social security taxes deferred will become due on December 31, 2021 with the remaining 50% due on December 31, 2022. The Company elected to defer such taxes starting in mid-April 2020. The Company estimates the remaining payment of approximately $790,000 of social security taxes otherwise due in 2020 will be deferred with 50% due by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due by December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2020, the Company has deferred payment of approximately $393,000 in its share of social security taxes, which amount has been included in “other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020.

16. Subsequent Events

PPP Loan

As discussed in “Note 9 – Long Term Debt – PPP Loan,” the Company entered into a promissory note with PNC, our credit facility lender, in the amount of $5,666,300 (“PPP Loan”) under the PPP. The PPP was established under the recently enacted CARES Act (as amended by the Flexibility Act signed into law on June 5, 2020) and is administered by the SBA. On July 9, 2020, the Company repaid approximately $327,000 of the PPP Loan to PNC resulting from an error made in the loan calculation at the time of the loan origination.

Employment Agreements

On July 22, 2020, the Company’s Board appointed Richard Grondin to the position of EVP of Waste Treatment Operations and an executive officer of the Company. Mr. Grondin previously held the position of Vice President of Western Operations within our Treatment Segment. Immediately after the appointment of Richard Grondin to the position of EVP of Waste Treatment Operations and an executive officer of the Company, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board approved, and the Company entered into, an employment agreement with each of Mark Duff, CEO (the “CEO Employment Agreement”), Dr. Louis Centofanti, EVP of Strategic Initiatives (the “EVP of Strategic Initiatives Employment Agreement”), Ben Naccarato, CFO (the “CFO Employment Agreement”), Andrew Lombardo, EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services (the “EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services Employment Agreement”), and Richard Grondin, EVP of Waste Treatment Operations (the “EVP of Waste Treatment Operations Employment Agreement”), collectively with the CEO Employment Agreement, the EVP of Strategic Initiative Employment Agreement, the CFO Employment Agreement, the EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services Employment Agreement and the EVP of Waste Treatment Operations Employment Agreement, the “New Employment Agreements” and each individually the “New Employment Agreement”. The Company had previously entered into an employment agreement with each of Mark Duff, Dr. Louis Centofanti and Ben Naccarato on September 8, 2017, all three of which were due to expire on September 8, 2020. These three employment agreements dated September 8, 2017 were terminated effective July, 22, 2020.

Pursuant to New Employment Agreements, which are effective July 22, 2020, each of these executive officers is provided an annual salary, which annual salary may be increased, but not reduced, from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee. As a result of Richard Grondin’s promotion to EVP of Waste Treatment and an executive officer of the Company, his annual salary was increased from $208,000 as Vice President of Western Operations within our Treatment Segment to $240,000, effective July 22, 2020. No change was made to the salary of the remaining executive officers for fiscal year 2020. In addition, each of these executive officers is entitled to participate in the Company’s broad-based benefits plans and to certain performance compensation payable under separate Management Incentive Plans (“MIP”) as approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Company’s Board. The Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board approved individual 2020 MIP on January 16, 2020 (which are effective January 1, 2020) for each Mark Duff, Dr. Louis Centofanti, Ben Naccarato and Andrew Lombardo which remains effective for fiscal year 2020. See “MIP” below for the MIP approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board for Richard Grondin.

Each of the New Employment Agreements is effective for three years from July 22, 2020 (the “Initial Term”) unless earlier terminated by the Company or by the executive officer. At the end of the Initial Term of each New Employment Agreement, each New Employment Agreement will automatically be extended for one additional year, unless at least six months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, the Company or the executive officer provides written notice not to extend the terms of the New Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to the New Employment Agreements, if the executive officer’s employment is terminated due to death/disability or for cause (as defined in the agreements), the Company will pay to the executive officer or to his estate an amount equal to the sum of any unpaid base salary and accrued unused vacation time through the date of termination and any benefits due to the executive officer under any employee benefit plan (the “Accrued Amounts”) plus any performance compensation payable pursuant to the MIP with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination.

If the executive officer terminates his employment for “good reason” (as defined in the agreements) or is terminated by the Company without cause (including any such termination for “good reason” or without cause within 24 months after a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement)), the Company will pay the executive officer the Accrued Amounts, two years of full base salary, and two times the performance compensation (under the MIP) earned with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination provided the performance compensation earned with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination has not been paid. If performance compensation earned with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination has been made to the executive officer, the executive officer will be paid an additional year of the performance compensation earned with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination. If the executive terminates his employment for a reason other than for good reason, the Company will pay to the executive an amount equal to the Accrued Amounts plus any performance compensation payable pursuant to the MIP with respect to the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination.

If there is a Change in Control (as defined in the agreements), all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock held by the executive officer will immediately become exercisable in full commencing on the date of termination through the original term of the options. In the event of the death of an executive officer, all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock held by the executive officer will immediately become exercisable in full commencing on the date of death, with such options exercisable for the lesser of the original option term or twelve months from the date of the executive officer’s death. In the event an executive officer terminates his employment for “good reason” or is terminated by the Company without cause, all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock held by the executive officer will immediately become exercisable in full commencing on the date of termination, with such options exercisable for the lesser of the original option term or within 60 days from the date of the executive’s date of termination. Severance benefits payable with respect to a termination (other than Accrued Amounts) shall not be payable until the termination constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)).

MIP

On July 22, 2020, upon the approval of the EVP of Waste Treatment Operations Employment Agreement as discussed above, the Company’s Board and the Company’s Compensation Committee approved a MIP for Richard Grondin effective January 1, 2020, applicable for fiscal 2020. The MIP provides guidelines for the calculation of annual cash incentive-based compensation, subject to Compensation Committee oversight and modification. The MIP awards cash compensation based on achievement of performance thresholds, with the amount of such compensation established as a percentage of the Mr. Grondin’s 2020 annual base salary as the EVP of Waste Treatment Operations. The potential target performance compensation ranges from 5% to 100% ($12,000 to $240,000) of the base salary for the EVP of Waste Treatment Operations, which became effective on July 22, 2020.

PFMI

As discussed in “Note 11- Discontinued Operations,” the Company’s discontinued operations included a note receivable in the original amount of approximately $375,000 recorded in May 2016 resulting from the sale of property at its PFMI subsidiary. On July 24, 2020, the purchaser of the property paid off the outstanding note receivable balance of approximately $105,000.

Legal Matter

During July 2020, Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against CH2M Hill, Inc. (“CH2M”) and four subcontractors of CH2M, including the Company (“defendants”). The complaint alleges claims for negligence, negligent misrepresentation and equitable indemnification against all defendants related to alleged damages suffered by Tetra Tech in respect of certain draft reports prepared by defendants at the request of the U.S. Navy as part of an investigation and review of certain whistleblower complaints about Tetra Tech’s environmental restoration at the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco.

CH2M was hired by the Navy in 2016 to review Tetra Tech’s work. CH2M subcontracted with environmental consulting and cleanup firms Battelle Memorial Institute, Cabrera Services, Inc., SC&A, Inc. and the Company to assist with the review, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges that the subject draft reports were prepared negligently and in a biased manner, made public, and caused damage to Tetra Tech’s reputation; triggering related lawsuits and costing it opportunities for both government and commercial contracts.

At this time, the Company does not believe it has any liability to Tetra Tech, and has provided notice of the claim to its insurance carrier. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims.

COVID-19 Impact

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have remained focused on keeping our employees working and, at the same time, focusing on protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees and the communities in which we operate while assuring the continuity of our business operations.

Our management team has proactively implemented our business continuity and safety plans and has taken a variety of measures to ensure the ongoing availability of our waste treatment and remediation services, while taking health and safety measures, including separating employee and customer contact, social distancing between employees, implementing enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols in all of our facilities, and implementing remote work policies, when necessary.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents potential new risks to our business. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. As previously reported, the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in a material impact to our first quarter 2020 results of operations; however, our second quarter results of operations were impacted by the shutdown of a number of projects and the delays of certain waste shipments which began in late March 2020 that continued into the second quarter of 2020. As states began to lift stay-at-home orders, along with certain other restrictions since the start of the pandemic, in the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, we were able to restart on a number, but not all, of the projects that were previously shutdown. Despite these project shutdowns, revenues within our Services Segment in the second quarter of 2020 exceeded the corresponding period of 2019 by approximately $7,166,000. We continue to experience some delays in waste shipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment due to the planning time that is required by these customers to restart waste shipments as they return to work on-site. These continued project shutdowns and waste shipment delays may impact our results of operations for the third quarter of 2020 and potentially the remainder of fiscal year 2020.

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At June 30, 2020, we had cash on hand of approximately $5,630,000 and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of $12,330,000 based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. Our cash at June 30, 2020 included proceeds received from a loan in the amount of approximately $5,666,000 (“PPP Loan”) in April 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) that was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”) was signed into law, amending the CARES Act (see “CARES Act – PPP Loan” under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of the PPP Loan and the repayment of approximately $327,000 of the PPP Loan we made to our lender on July 9, 2020). We expect to apply for forgiveness on all or a portion of the loan as permitted under the program, which is subject to the approval of our lender. Proceeds from the PPP Loan have allowed us to avoid having to furlough or layoff certain eligible employees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, although there are no assurances that such will not be required. We continue to assess reducing operating costs during this volatile time, which include curtailing capital expenditures, eliminating non-essential expenditures and implementing a hiring freeze as needed. We have elected to defer payment of our share of social security taxes as permitted under the CARES Act, as amended (see “CARES Act – Deferral of Employment Tax Deposits” within this MD&A for a discussion of this deferral).

We are closely monitoring our customers’ payment performance. However, since a significant portion of our revenues is derived from government related contracts, we do not expect our accounts receivable collections to be materially impacted due to COVID-19.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 continues to remain fluid. The potential for a material impact on the Company’s business increases the longer COVID-19 impacts the level of economic activities in the United States and globally as our customers may continue to delay waste shipments and project work may shut down again. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity during the next twelve months. As of the date of this report, we believe that our cash on hand and our credit facility should provide sufficient liquidity to continue business operations during the next twelve months. Based on our current projection, we believe that we will be able to meet the current covenant requirements under our loan agreement for the next twelve months despite the impact of COVID-19.

Overview

Revenue increased $4,912,000 or 28.7% to $22,047,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $17,135,000 for the corresponding period of 2019. The increase was entirely within our Services Segment where revenue increased $7,166,000 or 101.8% from increased projects. Our Services Segment experienced this increase in revenue despite a number of our projects being shut down during part of the second quarter 2020 and certain projects not restarting until the latter part of the second quarter 2020. Our Treatment Services revenue decreased by $2,254,000 or 22.3% primarily due to delays in waste shipments from certain customers that started in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 and has continued through the second quarter of 2020, resulting from the impact of COVID-19. Gross profit increased $39,000 or 1.2% primarily due to the increase in revenues in the Services Segment. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $5,000 or 0.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

Revenue increased $18,064,000 or 62.6% to $46,907,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $28,843,000 for the corresponding period of 2019. The increase was entirely within our Services Segment where revenue increased $20,660,000 or 233.6% from increased projects. Our Services Segment experienced this increase in revenue despite a number of our projects being shut down during part of the second quarter 2020 and certain projects not restarting until the latter part of the second quarter 2020. Our Treatment Services revenue decreased by $2,596,000 or 13.0% primarily due to delays in waste resulting from the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above. Total gross profit increased $2,178,000 or 37.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. Total SG&A expenses increased $24,000 or 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

Our working capital was $5,314,000 at June 30, 2020 as compared to working capital of $26,000 at December 31, 2019.

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, without limitation, the economic conditions, the manner in which the applicable government will be required to spend funding to remediate various sites, and/or the impact resulting from COVID-19 as discussed above. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites in the United States are generally subject to termination or renegotiation on 30 days’ notice at the government’s option, and our governmental contracts/task orders with the Canadian government authorities allow the authorities to terminate the contract/task orders at any time for convenience. 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, our Medical Segment continues to evaluate strategic options to commercialize its medical isotope production technology. These options generally require substantial capital to fund R&D requirements, in addition to start-up and production costs. Our Medical Segment has substantially reduced its R&D costs and 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 or obtaining new partners willing to fund its R&D activities. If the Medical Segment is unable to raise the necessary capital, the Medical Segment could be required to further reduce, delay or eliminate its R&D program.

We are continually reviewing methods to raise additional capital to supplement our liquidity requirements, when needed, and reducing our operating costs. We continue to aggressively bid on various contracts, including potential contracts within the international markets.

Results of Operations

The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to our three reportable segments: The Treatment, Services, and Medical Segments. Our Medical Segment has not generated any revenue and all costs incurred are included within R&D. Our results of operations for the balance of 2020 could be subject to the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above under “COVID-19 Impact.”

1) Includes wastes generated by government clients of $496,000 and $657,000 for the three month ended June 30, 2020 and the corresponding period of 2019, respectively.

Treatment Segment revenue decreased $2,254,000 or 22.3 % for the three months ended June 30, 2020 over the same period in 2019. The decrease in Treatment Segment revenue in all categories was attributed primarily to lower waste volume as a number of our customers delayed waste shipments starting in late March 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. These delays has continued through the second quarter of 2020. Services Segment revenue increased by $7,166,000 or 101.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from the corresponding period of 2019. The increase in our Services Segment revenue of $7,166,000 or 101.8% was primarily due to the increase in number of projects. Our Services Segment experienced this increase in revenue despite a number of our projects being shut down during part of the second quarter 2020 and certain projects not restarting until the latter part of the second quarter 2020. Additionally, our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration and completion of each project vary. As a result, our Services Segment revenues are subject to differences relating to timing and project value.

Consolidated revenues increased $18,064,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, as follows:

¹⁾Includes wastes generated by government clients of $1,119,000 and $1,268,000 for the six month ended June 30, 2020 and the corresponding period of 2019, respectively.

Treatment Segment revenue decreased $2,596,000 or 13.0 % for the six months ended June 30, 2020 over the same period in 2019. The revenue decrease was primarily due to lower revenue generated in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from waste shipment delays due to the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above. Our Services Segment revenue increased $20,660,000 or 233.6% due to the increase in number of projects. Our Services Segment experienced this increase in revenue despite a number of our projects being shut down during part of the second quarter 2020 and certain projects not restarting until the latter part of the second quarter 2020. Additionally, our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration and completion of each project vary. As a result, our Services Segment revenues are subject to differences relating to timing and project value.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment decreased approximately $1,322,000 or 17.7%. Treatment Segment costs of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2019 included additional closure costs recorded in the amount of $165,000 for our East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corporation (“M&EC”) facility due to finalization of closure requirements in connection with the closure of the facility. Excluding the closure costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019, Treatment Segment cost of goods sold decreased $1,157,000 or 15.8% primarily due to the decrease in revenue. Excluding the closure costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019, Treatment Segment variable costs decreased by approximately $1,401,000 primarily in disposal, transportation, material and supplies and outside services due to lower revenues. Our overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $244,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $62,000; regulatory expenses were higher by approximately $20,000; maintenance expenses were higher by $116,000; and depreciation expenses were higher by approximately $46,000 primarily due to financed leases that we did not have in the second quarter of 2019. Services Segment cost of goods sold increased $6,195,000 or 96.8% primarily due to increased revenue as discussed above. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to higher salaries and payroll costs, travel, and outside services expenses totaling approximately $5,556,000, higher material and supplies and disposal costs totaling approximately $416,000, and higher general expenses of $223,000 in various categories. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $358,000 and $307,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Cost of goods sold increased $15,886,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, as follows:

			%				%

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment decreased approximately $1,452,000 or 10.1%. Treatment Segment costs of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included additional closure costs recorded in the amount of $330,000 for our M&EC facility due to finalization of closure requirements in connection with the closure of the facility. Excluding the closure costs recorded in the six months of 2019, Treatment Segment cost of goods sold decreased $1,122,000 or 8.0% primarily due to the decrease in revenue. Excluding the closure costs recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2019, Treatment Segment variable costs decreased by approximately $1,285,000 primarily due to lower disposal, transportation, and outside services costs totaling approximately $1,516,000 which was partially offset by higher material and supplies costs of $231,000. Our overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $163,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $28,000; regulatory expenses were higher by approximately $51,000; maintenance expenses were higher by $229,000; travel expenses were higher by approximately $8,000; deprecation expenses were higher by approximately $78,000 primarily due to financed leases that we did not have in the first six months of 2019; and general expenses were lower by approximately $231,000 in various categories. Services Segment cost of goods sold increased $17,338,000 or 200.3% primarily due to the increase in revenue. The increase in cost of goods sold within our Services Segment was primarily due to higher salaries and payroll related costs, travel, and outside services expenses totaling approximately $15,452,000, higher material and supplies and disposal costs totaling approximately $1,392,000, and higher general expenses of $494,000 in various categories. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $699,000 and $617,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 increased $39,000 over the same period in 2019, as follows:

			%				%
(In thousands)	2020		Revenue		2019		Revenue		Change
Treatment	$	1,695		21.6	$	2,627		26.0	$	(932	)

Total	$	3,310		15.0	$	3,271		19.1	$	39

Excluding the additional $165,000 in closure costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019 as discussed above within our Treatment Segment’s cost of goods sold, our Treatment Segment gross profit decreased by $1,097,000 and gross margin decreased to 21.6% from 27.7% primarily due to lower revenue from lower waste volume. The increases in gross profit in the Services Segment of $971,000 or 150.8% and gross margin from 9.1% to 11.4% was primarily due to the increase in revenue as discussed above. Additionally, our overall Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $2,178,000 over 2019, as follows:

			%				%
(In thousands)	2020		Revenue		2019		Revenue		Change

Total	$	7,950		16.9	$	5,772		20.0	$	2,178

Treatment Segment gross profit decreased $1,144,000 or 20.5% and gross margin decreased to 25.5% from 27.9%. Excluding the additional closure costs of $330,000 recorded in connection with the closure of our M&EC facility as discussed previously, gross profit decreased 1,474,000 or 24.9% and gross margin decreased to 25.5% from 29.6% primarily due lower revenue from lower waste volume. In the Services Segment, gross profit increased $3,322,000 or 1,767.0% and gross margin increased from 2.1% to 11.9%. The increase in gross profit for the six month ended June 30, 2020 was attributed to the increase in revenue. Our overall Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

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

SG&A expenses decreased $5,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period for 2019, as follows:

(In thousands)	2020		% Revenue		2019		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	1,296		—	$	1,261		—	$	35
Treatment		867		11.1		940		9.3		(73	)
Services		537		3.8		504		7.2		33
Total	$	2,700		12.2	$	2,705		15.8	$	(5	)

Our Administrative SG&A was higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $39,000; general expenses were higher by approximately $22,000 in various categories; travel expense was lower by approximately $19,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19; and outside services expense was lower by approximately $7,000 resulting from less consulting/subcontract matters. Our Treatment Segment SG&A was lower due to the following: travel expense were lower by approximately $45,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19; general expenses were lower by $20,000 in various categories; bad debt expenses were lower by approximately $58,000; and salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $50,000. The higher SG&A costs within our Services Segment was primarily due to the following: salaries/payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $64,000; general expenses were higher by approximately $24,000 in various categories; travel expense was lower by approximately $40,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19; and outside services expenses were lower by approximately $15,000 due to fewer consulting matters. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $6,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

SG&A expenses increased $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period for 2019, as follows:

(In thousands)	2020		% Revenue		2019		% Revenue		Change
Administrative	$	2,655		—	$	2,564		—	$	91

Total	$	5,627		12.0	$	5,603		19.4	$	24

The increase in Administrative SG&A was primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related costs were higher by approximately $40,000; general expenses were higher by $39,000 in various categories; outside services were higher by approximately $26,000 resulting from more consulting/business matters; and travel expense was lower by approximately 14,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19. Treatment SG&A was lower primarily due to the following: travel expense were lower by approximately $24,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19; bad debt expenses were lower by approximately $55,000; general expenses were higher by $13,000 in various categories; and salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $16,000. Services Segment SG&A decreased by $17,000 primarily due to the following: bad debt expenses were lower by approximately $89,000 as certain customer accounts which we had previously reserved for were collected in the first six months of 2020; travel expense was lower by approximately $64,000 due to restrictions implemented resulting from the impact of COVID-19; outside services expenses were lower by approximately $10,000 due to fewer consulting matters; salaries/payroll related expenses were higher by a total of approximately $124,000; and general expenses were higher by approximately $22,000 in various categories. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $12,000 and $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

R&D

R&D expenses decreased $14,000 and $9,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,

Total	$	209	$	223	$	(14	)	$	441	$	450	$	(9	)

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.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by approximately $79,000 and $104,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 primarily due to lower interest earned from lower finite risk sinking fund balance resulting from the release of $5,000,000 in finite risk sinking funds by AIG Specialty Insurance Company (“AIG”) to us in July 2019 in connection with the closure of our M&EC facility. The $5,000,000 in finite sinking funds represented a partial release of the total collateral held under our finite risk insurance policy. The lower interest income for each period discussed above was also partially attributed to a lower interest rate earned on the finite risk sinking funds.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $8,000 and increased by approximately $25,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease in interest expense in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 was primarily due to lower interest expense from our declining term loan balance outstanding and lower interest rate. Also, interest expense was lower from declining loan balance outstanding on the $2,500,000 loan that we entered into with Robert Ferguson on April 1, 2019. The overall decrease in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest expense from higher averaged revolver loan balance and higher interest due to additional finance leases which we did not have in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 was primarily due to higher interest expense incurred from the Robert Ferguson loan as discussed above, higher interest expense from higher averaged revolver loan balance and higher interest due to additional finance leases which we did not have in the first six months of 2019. The overall higher interest expense was reduced by lower interest expense from our declining term loan balance outstanding and lower interest rate.

Interest Expense- Financing Fees

No change was noted in interest expense-financing fees for the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The increase in interest expense-financing fees of approximately $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 was primarily due to debt discount/debt issuance costs amortized as financing fees in connection with the issuance of our Common Stock and a purchase Warrant as consideration for the Company receiving the $2,500,000 loan from Robert Ferguson on April 1, 2020 (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Activities” for further information of this debt discount).

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

We had net losses of $85,000 and $199,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively (net of taxes of $0 for each period). We had net losses of $115,000 and $267,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively (net of taxes of $0 for each period).

The “Current assets related to discontinued operations” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020, included an outstanding note receivable in the amount of approximately $105,000 from the sale of property at our Perma-Fix of Michigan, Inc. (“PFMI”) subsidiary in May 2016. On July 24, 2020, the purchaser of the property paid off the outstanding note receivable balance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flow requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily financed by our operations, credit facility availability, and the PPP Loan that we received under the CARES Act as discussed below (see “CARES Act – PPP Loan”). We generated approximately $2,957,000 cash from our continuing operations. Subject to the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above, our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, remediation projects, and planned capital expenditures. We plan to fund these requirements from our operations, credit facility availability, and cash on hand (which includes the proceeds received under the PPP Loan that we received under the Paycheck Protection Program established under the CARES Act, as amended). We continue to explore all sources of increasing our capital to supplement our liquidity requirements, when needed, and to improve our revenue and working capital. We are continually reviewing operating costs and reviewing the possibility of further reducing operating costs and non-essential expenditures to bring them in line with revenue levels, when necessary. At this time, we believe that our cash flows from operations, our available liquidity from our credit facility, and our cash on hand should be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. However, due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, there are no assurances such will be the case in the events that certain of our customers continue to delay waste shipments or the restart of projects and/or, elect to, shut down projects again due to governmental and societal responses from continuation or potential second-wave outbreak of COVID-19. As previously disclosed, our Medical Segment substantially reduced its R&D costs and activities due to the need for capital to fund such activities. We continue to seek various sources of potential funding for our Medical Segment. 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 or obtaining new partners willing to fund its R&D activities. If the Medical Segment is unable to raise the necessary capital, the Medical Segment could be required to further reduce, delay or eliminate its R&D program.

We are aware that PPP loans in excess of $2,000,000 may be subject to being audited by the appropriate governmental authority. If our PPP Loan is audited, it is currently unknown how our PPP Loan could be affected by an audit. An audit could result, among other things, in us being required to return all or a portion of our PPP Loan (see discussion below as to the PPP Loan under “The CARES Act – PPP Loan”).

The following table reflects the cash flow activities during the first six months of 2020:

(In thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	2,957
Cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations		(259	)
Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations		(1,362	)
Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations		13
Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations		3,992
Effect of exchange rate changes in cash		(18	)
Increase in cash and finite risk sinking fund (restricted cash)	$	5,323

At June 30, 2020, we were in a positive cash position with no revolving credit balance. At June 30, 2020, we had cash on hand of approximately $5,630,000, which includes account balances of our foreign subsidiaries totaling approximately $795,000.

Operating Activities

Accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, totaled $10,806,000 at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2,372,000 from the December 31, 2019 balance of $13,178,000. The decrease was primarily due to timing of invoicing which was reflective of the increase in our unbilled receivables and timing of our accounts receivable collection. 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. The amount of our accounts receivables and collection could be materially impacted the longer COVID-19 persists.

Accounts payable, totaled $11,560,000 at June 30, 2020, an increase of $2,283,000 from the December 31, 2019 balance of $9,277,000. The increase in accounts payable was attributed to an increase in costs within our Services Segment resulting from the significant increase in revenue. Additionally, our accounts payable are impacted by the timing of payments as we are continually managing payment terms with our vendors to maximize our cash position throughout all segments.

We had working capital of $5,314,000 (which included working capital of our discontinued operations) at June 30, 2020, as compared to working capital of $26,000 at December 31, 2019. The improvement in our working capital was primarily due to the proceeds that we received from the PPP Loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (see “PPP Loan” under “CARES Act” below for a discussion of this loan). The positive impact was partially offset by the increase in our accounts payable.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our purchases of capital equipment totaled approximately $1,498,000, of which $132,000 was subject to finance leases, with the remaining funded from cash from operations and our credit facility. We have budgeted approximately $2,000,000 for 2020 capital expenditures for our Treatment and Services Segments to maintain operations and regulatory compliance requirements and support revenue growth. Certain of these budgeted projects may either be delayed until later years or deferred altogether. 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, especially in light of the uncertainties that COVID-19 may impact the economy which may have an adverse impact to our results of operations and liquidity.

Financing Activities

We 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 had been amended from time to time since the execution of the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Revised Loan Agreement”), provided us 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. The maximum that we can borrow under the revolving credit was 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.

Payment of annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit under the Revised Loan Agreement was at prime (3.25% at June 30, 2020) plus 2% and the term loan at prime plus 2.5%.

On May 8, 2020, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “New Loan Agreement”) with PNC, replacing our previous Revised Loan Agreement with PNC. The New Loan Agreement provides us with the following credit facility:

	●	up to $18,000,000 revolving credit facility, subject to the amount of borrowings based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves; and

	●	a term loan of $1,741,818, which requires monthly installments of $35,547.

The New Loan Agreement terminates as of May 15, 2024, unless sooner terminated.

Similar to our Revised Loan Agreement, the New Loan Agreement requires us to meet certain customary financial covenants, including, among other things, a minimum Tangible Adjusted Net Worth requirement of $27,000,000 at all times; maximum capital spending of $6,000,000 annually; and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) requirement of 1.15:1.

Under the New Loan agreement, payment of annual rate of interest due on the credit facility is as follows:

●	revolving credit at prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50% and the term loan at prime plus 3.00% or LIBOR plus 4.00%. We can only elect to use the LIBOR interest payment option after we become compliant with meeting the minimum FCCR of 1.15:1; and

●

Upon the achievement of a FCCR of greater than 1.25:1, we will have the option of paying an annual rate of interest due on the revolving credit at prime plus 2.00% or LIBOR plus 3.00% and the term loan at prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50%. We met this FCCR in the first and second quarters of 2020. Upon meeting the FCCR of 1.25:1, this interest payment option will remain in place in the event that our future FCCR falls below 1.25:1.

Under the LIBOR option of interest payment noted above, a LIBOR floor of 0.75% shall apply in the event that LIBOR falls below 0.75% at any point in time.

Pursuant to the New Loan Agreement, we may terminate the New Loan Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of our obligations under the New Loan Agreement. We have agreed to pay PNC 1.0% of the total financing in the event we pay off our obligations on or before May 7, 2021 and 0.5% of the total financing if we pays off our obligations after May 7, 2021 but prior to or on May 7, 2022. No early termination fee shall apply if we pay off our obligations under the New Loan Agreement after May 7, 2022.

In connection with New Loan Agreement, we paid our lender a fee of $50,000 and incurred other direct costs of approximately $35,000, which are being amortized over the term of the New Loan Agreement as interest expense-financing fees. As a result of the termination of the Revised Loan Agreement, the Company recorded approximately $27,000 in loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishment.”

Our credit facility under our Revised and New Loan Agreement 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. We met our FCCR requirement in the first and second quarters of 2020. Additionally, we met our remaining financial covenant requirements in the first and second quarters of 2020. We expect to meet our financial covenant requirements in the next twelve months; however, if we fail to meet any of our financial covenant requirements and our lender does not further 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.

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2019, the Company completed a lending transaction with Robert Ferguson (the “Lender”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lender the sum of $2,500,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note (the “Loan”). The Lender is a shareholder of the Company and also serves as a consultant to the Company in connection with the Company’s TBI at its PFNWR subsidiary. The proceeds from the Loan were used for general working capital purposes. The Loan is unsecured, with a term of two years with interest payable at a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum. The Loan provides for monthly payments of accrued interest only during the first year of the Loan, with the first interest payment due May 1, 2019 and monthly payments of approximately $208,333 in principal plus accrued interest starting in the second year of the Loan. The Loan also allows for prepayment of principal payments over the term of the Loan without penalty with such prepayment of principal payments to be applied to the second year of the loan payments at our discretion. Since inception of the loan, we have made total prepayments in principal of $936,000, of which $416,000 was made in the first six months of 2020. In connection with this capital raise transaction described above and consideration for us receiving the Loan, we issued a Warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Lender to purchase up to 60,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.51 per share, which was the closing bid price for a share of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.com immediately preceding the execution of the Loan and Warrant. The Warrant expires on April 1, 2024 and remains outstanding at June 30, 2020. As further consideration for this capital raise transaction relating to the Loan, we also issued 75,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Lender. The fair value of the Warrant and Common Stock and the related closing fees incurred from the transaction totaled approximately $398,000 and was recorded as debt discount/debt issuance costs, which is being amortized over the term of the loan as interest expense – financing fees. The 75,000 shares of Common Stock, the Warrant and the 60,000 shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Warrant were and will be issued in a private placement that was and will be exempt from registration under Rule 506 and/or Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and bear a restrictive legend against resale except in a transaction registered under the Act or in a transaction exempt from registration thereunder.

The CARES Act

PPP Loan

On April 14, 2020, we entered into a promissory note with PNC, our credit facility lender, in the amount of $5,666,300 under the PPP (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP was established under the recently enacted CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (“Flexibility Act”) was signed into law which amended the CARES Act. The note evidencing the PPP Loan contains events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and provisions of the promissory note. On July 9, 2020, we repaid approximately $327,000 of the PPP Loan to PNC resulting from an error made in the loan calculation at the time of the loan origination. This amount has been included the “current portion of long-term debt” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020.

Under the terms of the Flexibility Act, we can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds by us for eligible payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels for the covered period (which is defined as a 24 week period, beginning April 14, 2020, the date in which proceeds from the PPP Loan was disbursed to us by PNC). At least 60% of such forgiven amount must be used for eligible payroll costs. We expect to apply for forgiveness on repayment of the loan as permitted under the program, which is subject to the approval of our lender. If all or a portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, all or the remaining portion will be for a term of two years but can be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without any prepayment penalties. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.0% and no payments of principal or interest are due until the date that the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to our lender, provided that we submit our loan forgiveness application to our lender within ten months following the last day of the applicable covered period. While our PPP Loan currently has a two year maturity, the Flexibility Act permits us to request a five year maturity with our lender which we do not expect to request at this time.

Deferral of Employment Tax Deposits

The CARES Act, as amended by the Flexibility Act, provides employers the option to defer the payment of an employer’s share of social security taxes beginning on March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, among other things. 50% of the amount of social security taxes deferred will become due on December 31, 2021 with the remaining 50% due on December 31, 2022. We elected to defer such taxes starting in mid-April 2020. We estimate the remaining payment of approximately $790,000 of social security taxes otherwise due in 2020 will be deferred with 50% due by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due by December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2020, the Company has deferred payment of $393,000 in its share of social security taxes, which amount has been included in “other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020.

The CARES Act, as amended, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforwards, corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) provisions, net interest expense deduction, and deferment of social security tax payments. We elected to defer payment of our shares of social security taxes as discussed above. We continue to evaluate the provisions of the CARES Act, as amended, and how certain other elections may impact our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures, if elected.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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, 2020, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $3,126,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $52,519,000. We also provide closure and post-closure requirements through a financial assurance policy for certain of our Treatment Segment facilities through AIG. At June 30, 2020, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $19,651,000.

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, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for the recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the first six months of 2020, or will be adopted in future periods.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Significant Customers. Our Treatment and Services Segments have significant relationships with the U.S and Canadian governmental authorities, and continue to enter into contracts, directly as the prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to government authorities. Our inability to continue under existing contracts that we have with the U.S federal government and Canadian government authorities (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. In addition, our U.S. 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. The Task Order Agreements (“TOAs”) with the Canadian government generally provide that the government may terminate a TOA at any time for convenience.

We performed services relating to waste generated by government clients (domestic and foreign (primarily Canadian)), either directly as a prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to government entities, representing approximately $19,811,000 or 89.9% and $42,313,000 or 90.2% of our total revenues generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $12,864,000 or 75.1% and $21,857,000 or 75.8% of our total revenues generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Coronavirus Impact. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses to the pandemic continue to evolve rapidly, especially in light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases around the country. In the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, we were able to restart on a number of projects that were previously shutdown as states lifted stay-at-home orders, along with certain other restrictions since the start of the pandemic. At this time, we continue to experience delays in the restart of some projects and some delays in waste shipment from certain customers due to the planning time that is required by these customers to restart waste shipment as they return to work on-site. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business as our customers could curtail and reduce capital and overall spending.

The severity of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the extent and severity of the impact on our customers, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with any accuracy or confidence at this time. Our future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by continued delays in waste shipments and restart of projects and/or the recurrence of project work shut downs as well as potential partial/full shutdown of any of our facilities due to COVID-19.

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 from operations.

At June 30, 2020, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $866,000, a decrease of $61,000 from the December 31, 2019 balance of $927,000. The increase represents payments made on remediation projects for our Perma-Fix of South Georgia, Inc. and Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. subsidiaries. At June 30, 2020, $756,000 of the total accrued environmental liabilities was recorded as current.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Not applicable

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

	We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based on this recent assessment, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of June 30, 2020.

(b)	Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

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

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

COVID-19 could result in material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses to the pandemic continue to evolve rapidly, especially in light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases around the country. In the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, we were able to restart on a number of projects that were previously shutdown as states lifted stay-at-home orders, along with certain other restrictions since the start of the pandemic.
