Operating Segments
 

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

·
from which we may earn revenue and incur expenses;
·
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
·
for which discrete financial information is available.

We currently have two operating segments, which are defined as each business line that we operate.  This however, excludes corporate headquarters, which does not generate revenue, and our discontinued operations, which includes all facilities within our Industrial Segment (See Note 8 – “Discontinued Operations”).
 
Our operating segments are defined as follows:

The Nuclear Segment provides treatment, storage, processing and disposal of nuclear, low-level radioactive, mixed (waste containing both hazardous and non-hazardous constituents), hazardous and non-hazardous waste and on-site waste management services through our four facilities:  Perma-Fix of Florida, Inc. (“PFF”), Diversified Scientific Services, Inc. (“DSSI”), East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corporation (“M&EC”), and Perma-Fix of Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”).

The Engineering Segment provides environmental engineering and regulatory compliance services through Schreiber, Yonley & Associates, Inc. (“SYA”) which includes oversight management of environmental restoration projects, air, soil, and water sampling, water and hazardous waste permitting, compliance reporting, emission reduction strategies, compliance auditing, and various compliance and training activities to industrial, education, healthcare, and service organizations, as well as, engineering and compliance support needed by our other facilities.
 
The table below presents certain financial information of our operating segment as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands).
