September 30, 2020March 31, 2021

(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, 2019.2020.

 

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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.2021.

 

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, 2019.2020.

 

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 1413 - 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, 2020 consolidated financial statements referred to above.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value MeasurementNo. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 820)740): Disclosure Framework - ChangesSimplifying 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 Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13general 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, 2019.2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-132019-12 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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 adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

9

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” ASU 2020-10 updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 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 U.S. 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 tois currently evaluating 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 does not expect the adoptionimpact of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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 does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’sits consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models and removing certain settlement condition qualifiers for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and simplifies the related diluted net income per share calculation for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, for the Company as a smaller reporting company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

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. Starting in late March 2020, the Company’s operations were impacted by the shutdown of a number of projects and the delays of certain waste shipments that continued into the second quarter of 2020. Since the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, all of the projects that were previously shutdown within our Services Segment have restarted as stay-at-home orders and certain other restrictions resulting from the pandemic were lifted. Revenues within our Services Segment in the third quarter of 2020 exceeded the corresponding period of 2019 by approximately $10,652,000. The Company continues to experience delays in waste shipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment directly related to the impact of COVID-19 including generator shutdowns and limited sustained operations, along with other factors. These waste shipment delays may impact the Company’s results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 and potentially the first quarter of 2021.

10

At this time, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $4,811,000 and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of approximately $16,404,000 based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. 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 September 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 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”) on June 5, 2020, provides the Company the option to defer the payment of its share of social security taxes beginning on March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. 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 also entered into a promissory note (“PPP Loan”) with its credit facility lender under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) that was established under the CARES Act, as amended (see “Note 9 – Long Term Debt – PPP Loan” for further detail of this loan).

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) September 30, 2020  December 31, 2019  Year-to-date Change ($)  Year-to-date Change (%)  March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Change ($) Change (%)

Account receivables, net of allowance $13,442  $13,178  $264   2.0% $20,121  $9,659  $10,462   108.3%

During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $1,134,000$4,311,000 and $7,673,000,$4,023,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of theeach respective year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $1,877,000 and $9,322,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of the year. All revenueRevenue 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”)paragraph 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.

5.4.

Leases

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on facts and circumstances present in that arrangement. Lease classifications, recognition, and measurement are then determined at the lease commencement date.

 

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities represent primarily leases for office and warehouse spaces used to conduct our business. These leases have remaining terms of approximately 3 to 10 years which include one or more options to renew (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. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases consist primarily consist of processing and transport equipment used by our facilities’ operations. Our finance leasesoperations and also include a building with land for our waste treatment operations. The Company’s finance leases generally have initial terms between one to six years and some 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 years with an option to buy at the end of the lease term, which the Company is reasonably certain to 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

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.

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%. 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 has 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, second and third 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.

14.13.Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

 

On May 24, 2019, theThe Company and Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc.

TheSegment with 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.

22

 

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 iscontinues to be a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. At September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Perma-Fix ERRG had total assets of $5,302,000$4,865,000 and total liabilities of $5,302,000$4,865,000 which are all recorded as current.

COVID-19 Impact

 

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have remainedOur management team continues to proactively update our ongoing business operations and safety plans. We continue to remain focused on keeping our employees working and, at the same time, focusing on protecting the health and wellbeingwell-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate while assuring the continuity of our business operations. Similar to most of the U.S., we are beginning to relax the COVID-19-related precautions associated with ongoing operations as more staff is vaccinated and the new cases continue to decline in our locations. However, our Treatment Segment continues to see delays in waste shipments from certain customers due to continued impacts of COVID-19. We expect to see a gradual return in waste receipts from these customers in the first half of 2021. Within our Services Segment, we are realizing delays in procurement actions and contract awards resulting from the impact of COVID-19. As the situations surrounding COVID-19 continues to remain fluid, the full impact and extent of the pandemic on our financial results and liquidity cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty but appear to be subsiding towards the end of the second quarter of 2021. We are realizing pent-up demands in both segments, which have been reflected in the large increase in proposal requests throughout the first quarter of 2021 and into the second quarter of 2021.

 

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 and results in significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets. 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 the Company’s first quarter 2020 results of operations. Starting in late March 2020, our operations were impacted by the shutdown of a number of projects and the delays of certain waste shipments that continued into the second quarter of 2020. Since the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, all of the projects that were previously shutdown within our Services Segment have restarted as stay-at-home orders and certain other restrictions resulting from the pandemic were lifted. Revenues within our Services Segment in the third quarter of 2020 exceeded the corresponding period of 2019 by approximately $10,652,000. We continue to experience delays in waste shipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment directly related to the impact of COVID-19business, including generator shutdowns and limited sustained operations, along with other factors. These waste shipment delays may impact our results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 and potentially the first quarter of 2021.

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At September 30, 2020, we had cash on hand of approximately $4,811,000 and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of approximately $16,404,000 based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. In April 2020, we entered into a promissory note (“PPP Loan”) with our credit facility lender in the amount of approximately $5,666,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) that was established under the 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). During the third quarter of 2020, we repaid approximately $348,000 of the PPP Loan resulting from clarification in the loan calculation at the time of the loan origination. On October 5, 2020, we applied for forgiveness on the entire PPP Loan balance as permitted under the program, which is subject to the review and approval of our lender and Small Business Administration (“SBA”). 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 our 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. ForAt 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,time, we believe that our cashwe have sufficient liquidity on hand and our credit facility should provide sufficient liquidity to continue business operations during the next twelve months.

The increasedecrease was entirely within our ServicesTreatment Segment where revenue increased $10,652,000decreased $2,068,000 or 85.5%21.6% which was attributed primarily to lower waste volume resulting from increased projects. Our Treatment Services revenue decreased by $3,015,000 or 29.9% primarily due to continued delays in waste shipmentsshipment from certain customers resulting from the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above. The delays in waste shipments were also partly attributed to the transition of new prime contractors at certain DOE sites. Additionally,Also, lower averaged price waste from revenue mix contributed to the decrease in revenue within the Treatment Segment. Revenue from our Services Segment increased by approximately $341,000 or 2.2%. Gross profit decreased $407,000$2,284,000 or 7.9%49.2% primarily due to the decrease in revenues in the Treatment Segment. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately $363,000$277,000 or 12.3%9.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019.2020.

The increase was entirely within our Services Segment where revenue increased $31,311,000 or 147.0% 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. These previously shut down projects have since restarted. Our Treatment Services revenue decreased by $5,610,000 or 18.7% primarily due to continued delays in waste shipments from certain customers resulting from the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above. The delays in waste shipments were also partly attributed to the transition of new prime contractors at certain DOE sites. Total gross profit increased $1,771,000 or 16.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

Business Environment and Outlook

 

Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continues to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to governmental clients, primarily as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors to government entities or directly as the contractor or indirectly as a subcontractor.prime contractor. 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-uphas not generated any revenues 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 further subjected to the impact of COVID-19 as discussed above under “COVID-19 Impact.”

Interest Income

 

Interest income decreased by approximately $49,000 and $153,000 for$38,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively,first quarter of 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease was2020 primarily due to lower interest earned on the finite risk sinking funds from lower interest rate. The decrease in interest income was also attributed 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 at the end of 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.fund.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by approximately $12,000 and increased by $13,000 for$53,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively,first quarter of 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower interest expense from our declining term loan balance outstanding and lower interest rate. Also, interest expense was lower resulting from declining loan balance outstanding onthe payoff of the $2,500,000 loan at year end 2020 that we had previously entered into with Robert Ferguson on April 1, 2019. The overall decrease in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest expense from more finance leases and interest accrued for the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan in the first quarter of 2021 (see “The CARES Act – PPP Loan. The increase in interest expenseLoan” below for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period was primarily due to higher interest expense from more finance leases and interest accrued forfurther information of the PPP Loan. The higher interest expense was offset by lower interest from our declining loan balances on the term loan and the Ferguson loan as discussed above.Loan).

Interest expense-financing fees decreased by approximately $11,000 and increased $48,000 for$60,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively,first quarter of 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease in interest expense-financing fees in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to lower amortization of debt issuance costs in connection with our new credit facility dated May 8, 2020 as compared to our previous credit facility. On May 8, 2020, we entered into a new credit facility with our lender which resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $27,000. The increase in interest expense-financing fees of approximately $48,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to debt discount/debt issuance costs that became fully amortized as financing fees at year end 2020 in connection with the issuance of our Common Stock and a purchase Warrant as consideration for the Companyus receiving the $2,500,000 loan from Robert Ferguson ondated April 1, 2019 (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Activities” for further information of this debt discount and the new credit facility dated May 8, 2020).

We had an income tax benefit of $133,000 and income tax expense of $55,000 for continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and an income tax benefit of $128,000 and income tax expense of $99,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rates were approximately 9.9% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 4.4% and 5.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tax benefit and expense for the periods above were comprised of state tax benefit and expense for separate company filing states. Our tax rate for each of the periods discussed above was impacted by our full valuation on our net deferred tax assets. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included refunds from amended state returns filed in separate company filing states.

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Our discontinued operations consist of all our subsidiaries included in our Industrial Segment which encompasses subsidiaries divested in 2011 and prior and three previously closed locations.

Our discontinued operations had no revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the corresponding period of 2019. We incurred net losses of $67,000 and $266,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We incurred net losses of $156,000 and $424,000 for our discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash flow requirements during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 were primarily financed by our operations, cash on hand and 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 $3,503,000 cash from our continuing operations.availability. 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, our capital expenditure line (see “Financing Activities” below for this new capital expenditure line entered into with our lender below) and cash on hand which was approximately $4,811,000 at September 30, 2020.hand. 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, our capital expenditure line 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, which has resulted in continued delays in waste shipments from certain customers and delays in procurement actions and contract awards, there are no assurances such will be the case in the events that certain of our customers continue to delay waste shipments and/or elect to shut down projects again due to continue surge in outbreak of COVID-19.case. As previously disclosed, our Medical Segment, which has not generated any revenues, has 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”).

Financing Activities

 

We entered into ana Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 31, 2011May 8, 2020 (“Amended Loan Agreement”), with PNC National Association (“PNC”), acting as agent and lender. The Amended Loan Agreement had been amended from time to time sinceprovides the execution of the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement, as subsequently amended (“Revised Loan Agreement”), provided usCompany with the following credit facility with a maturity date of March 24, 2021:15, 2024: (a) up to $12,000,000$18,000,000 revolving credit (“revolving credit”) and (b) a term loan (“term loan”) of approximately $6,100,000.$1,742,000, requiring monthly installments of $35,547. The maximum that wethe Company can borrow under the revolving credit wasis 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 wasis at prime (3.25% at September 30, 2020)March 31, 2021) 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 London InterBank Offer Rate (“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 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, second and third 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% shallwill 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,At March 31, 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.

At September 30, 2020, the borrowing availability under our revolving credit was approximately $16,404,000,$10,280,000, based on our eligible receivables and includes a reduction in borrowing availability of approximately $3,026,000 from outstanding standby letters of credit.

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, second and third quarters of 2020. Additionally, we met our remaining financial covenant requirements in the first secondquarter of 2021 and third quarters of 2020. We expectexpects to meet our quarterly financial covenant requirements in the next twelve months; however, ifmonths. Our fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) calculation in the first quarter of 2021 included the add-back of approximately $5,318,000 in eligible expenses that were incurred and covered by the PPP Loan that we failreceived in 2020, as permitted by an amendment to meet any of our financial covenant requirements andLoan Agreement that we entered into with our lender does not further waive the non-compliance or reviseas discussed below.

On May 4, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our covenant so that we are in compliance,Loan Agreement with our lender could acceleratewhich provided the repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. following, among other things:

revised our FCCR calculation requirement which allows for the add-back of approximately $5,318,000 in eligible expenses that were incurred and covered by the PPP Loan that we received in 2020. The add-back is to be applied retroactively to the second and third quarters of 2020. (see “The CARES Act – PPP Loan” below for a discussion of the PPP Loan); and
a capital expenditure line of up to $1,000,000 with advances on the line, subject to certain limitations, permitted for up to twelve months starting May 4, 2021 (the “Borrowing Period”). Only interest is payable on advances during the Borrowing Period at annual rate of prime plus 2.50% or LIBOR (with minimum floor rate of 0.75%) plus 3.50%. At the end of the Borrowing Period, the total amount advanced under the line will amortize equally based on a five-year amortization schedule with principal payment due monthly plus interest.

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2019, we completed a lending transaction with Robert Ferguson (the “Lender”), whereby we 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 ours and also serves as a consultant to us in connection with our Test Bed Initiative (“TBI”) at our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“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 nine 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 andAgreement remains outstanding at September 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.principally unchanged.

On April 14, 2020, we entered into a promissory note under the PPP with PNC, our credit facility lender, in the amountwhich has a balance of approximately $5,666,000 under the PPP$5,318,000 (the “PPP Loan”). at March 31, 2021. The PPP was established under the CARES Act and is administeredwas subsequently amended by the 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. During the third quarter of 2020, we repaid approximately $348,000 of the PPP Loan to PNC resulting from clarification in the loan calculation at the time of the loan origination.

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 week24-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. On October 5, 2020, we applied for forgiveness on repayment of the loan balance as permitted under the program, which is subject to the review and approval of our lender and the SBA. The approval of the loan forgiveness allows for a maximum period of 150 days from the submittal of a complete loan forgiveness application. If all or a portion of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, all or the remaining portion of the loan 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. While our PPP Loan currently has a two year maturity, the Flexibility Act permits us to request a five year maturity with our lenderlender. At March 31, 2021, we have not received a determination on potential forgiveness on any portion of the PPP Loan balance; therefore, we have classified approximately $4,786,000 of the PPP Loan balance as “Current portion of long-term debt,” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which we do not expect to request at this time.was based on payment of the PPP Loan starting in July 2021 (10 months from end of our covered period) in accordance with the terms of our PPP Loan agreement.

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, with 50% of the amount of social security taxes deferred to 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 $1,225,000 of social security taxes otherwise due in 2020 will be deferred with 50% due by DecemberAt March 31, 2021, and the remaining 50% due by December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2020, we have deferred payment of $838,000approximately $1,252,000 in our share of social security taxes, of which amount has beenapproximately $626,000 is included in “other“Other long-term liabilities”liabilities,” with the remaining balance included in our“Accrued expenses” within current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.Sheets.

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 enterthrough contracts entered into contracts,indirectly as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors or directly as the prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to government authorities. As stated previously, 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. Our inability to continue under existing material 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 indirectly as a subcontractor or directly as a prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to government entities, representing approximately $28,094,000$20,157,000 or 93.1% and $70,407,000 or 91.3%87.1% of our total revenues generatedrevenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively,March 31, 2021, as compared to $19,496,000$22,502,000 or 86.5% and $41,354,000 or 80.5%90.5% of our total revenues generatedrevenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.corresponding period of 2020.

CoronavirusCOVID-19 Impact. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business iscontinues to be 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 certain parts of the country. Since the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, all of the projects within our Services Segment that were previously shutdown have restarted as stay-at-home orders and certain other restrictions resulting from the pandemic were lifted. At this time, werapidly. We continue to experience delays in waste shipmentshipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment directly related to the impact of COVID-19 including generator shutdownsCOVID-19. However, we expect to see a gradual return in waste receipts from these customers in the first half of 2021. Within our Services Segment, we are realizing delays in procurement actions and limited sustained operations, along with other factors. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide continue to be negatively impacted bycontract awards resulting from 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.impact of COVID-19.

 

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/approvalinoculation rate of treatments orthe 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 byfrom continued delays in waste shipments, delays in procurement actions and contract awards, 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 September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $854,000,$811,000, a decrease of $73,000$43,000 from the December 31, 20192020 balance of $927,000.$854,000. The decrease represents primarily payments made on remediation projects for our Perma-Fix of South Georgia,Memphis, Inc. and Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. subsidiaries.subsidiary. At September 30, 2020, $744,000March 31, 2021, $659,000 of the total accrued environmental liabilities was recorded as current.

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, we do not believe we have any liability to Tetra Tech. We have provided notice of this lawsuit to our insurance carrier. Our insurance carrier is providing a defense on our behalf in connection with this lawsuit, subject to a $100,000 self-insured retention and the terms and limitations contained in the insurance policy.
