ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740206), Debt-Modifications 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 adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 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 SecuritiesExtinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)718), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), clarifyingHedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).This guidanceASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for the transition into and outcertain modifications or exchanges 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.freestanding equity-classified written call options.

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.

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.

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 various subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (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. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. These ASUs are effective January 1, 2023 for the Company as a smaller reporting company (“SRC”).an SRC. Under new guidance issued by the Commission in March 2020, the Company will continuecontinues to qualify as a smaller reporting company but will also bebecame an accelerated filer forstarting with its 2021 Form 10-K and all filings with the Commission after January 1, 2022.subsequent filings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company plans to adopt both ASUs when LIBOR is discontinued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new ASUs on its condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this report, the Company has determined that only its obligations under the credit facility as described in “Note 8 – Long Term Debt would be impacted by these ASUs. The Company’s obligations under its credit facility permit for payment of annual rate of interests on its obligations using prime rate or LIBOR.

 

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.an SRC. 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.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 206), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This ASU is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASCparagraph 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.

 

4. LeasesThe Company’s contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites generally allow for termination for convenience at any time at the government’s option without payment of a substantial penalty. The Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations on these contracts.

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. Finance leases consist primarily of processing and transport equipment used by our facilities’ operations and also include a building with land for our waste treatment operations.

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. The 10,000 optionsfirst milestone was met and the shares under the first milestone were exercised byissued to Robert Ferguson in May 2018. The Company had previously entered into amendments whereby the vesting datedates for the second and third milestones for the purchase of up to 30,000 and 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was previouslywere extended to December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

COVID-19 Impact and Impact due to Other Delays

Our management team continuesfirst quarter financial results continued to proactively update our ongoing business operations and safety plans in an effort to mitigate any potential impact ofbe impacted by COVID-19. We continue to remain focused on protecting the health and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate while assuring the continuity of our business operations, particularly in light of emerging new variants of the virus. Similar to most of the U.S., we have relaxed COVID-19 precautions associated with operations since more people have become vaccinated, including our employees. However, our Treatment Segment continues to see unexpected delays in waste shipments from certain customers due to impacts of COVID-19. We expect to see returns in waste receipts from these customers starting in the second half of 2021. WithinAs previously disclosed, within our Services Segment, we continue to experienceexperienced delays in procurement actions and contract awards during the first half of 2021 resulting primarily from the impact of COVID-19. Since the end of the second quarter of 2021, we were awarded a number of new contracts. However, due to continued COVID-19 butimpact and/or customer administrative delay experienced by certain customers, work under certain of our new awards was temporarily curtailed/delayed which continued for most of the first quarter of 2022 and negatively impacted revenue. We have, recentlyhowever, begun to receivesee improvement in activities from certain of these new contract awards.projects starting in the latter part of the first quarter of 2022. Our Treatment Segment revenue continues to be negatively impacted by continued waste shipment delays from certain customers since the latter part of the first quarter of 2020, the start of the pandemic. We expect to see a gradual improvement in waste receipts from these customers in the upcoming months as our customers start easing up on COVID-19 restrictions; however, such may not be the case based on our customers’ own responses to COVID-19, including, but not limited to delaying or limiting full return-to-work schedules. Additionally, as a result of supply chain challenges, we experienced a delay in the delivery of a new technology waste processing unit from our supplier which negatively impacted our revenue as associated revenue was not able to be generated. Delivery of this unit had been expected during the third quarter of 2021 but did not occur until the latter part of the first quarter of 2022. Deployment of this unit is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2022. Within our Treatment and Services Segments,Segment, we are experiencing a large increase in proposal requests. We continue to have an unprecedented number of bids currently submitted in both segments and awaiting awards. We expect procurement actions and contract awards to continue throughout the second half of 2021.

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At March 31, 2022, we had borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility of approximately $4,544,000 which was based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. As a result of a recent amendment to our Loan Agreement, we are required to maintain a minimum of $3,000,000 in borrowing availability under our revolving credit until the minimum FCCR requirement for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 has been met and certified to our lender (see “Financing Activities” within this MD&A for a discussion of this amendment). We continue to assess the need in reducing operating costs during this volatile time, which may include curtailing certain capital expenditures and eliminating non-essential expenditures.

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.

 

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. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including supply chain challenges, our customers’ payment performance. However, since a significant portion of our revenues is derivedlabor force and increasing costs from government related contracts, we do not expect our accounts receivable collections to be materially impacted due to COVID-19.inflationary pressures (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties” – “Supply Chain” and “Inflation and Cost Increases” within this MD&A).

 

23

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to continue business operations during the next twelve months. At June 30, 2021, our borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility was approximately $9,550,000 which was based on a percentage of eligible receivables and subject to certain reserves. We continue to assess the need in reducing operating costs during this volatile time, which may include curtailing capital expenditures, eliminating non-essential expenditures and implementing a hiring freeze as needed. Based on our current projection, we believe that we will be able to meet our current covenant requirements under our loan agreement for the next twelve months, however, such may not be the case due to, among other things, the uncertainty of COVID on our operations and/or delays in procurement actions, contract awards, or waste shipments.

 

Overview

Our overall revenueRevenue decreased $5,902,000by $7,218,000 or 26.8%31.2% to $16,145,000$15,915,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 from $22,047,000$23,133,000 for the corresponding period of 2020 due primarily from the impact of COVID-19.2021. The revenue decrease was primarily within our Services Segment where revenue decreased byto $8,436,000 from $15,638,000 or approximately $5,768,000 or 40.6%46.1%. As discussed above, work under certain of the new projects awarded to $8,439,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $14,207,000 for the corresponding period of 2020 primarily due to delays in procurement actions and contract awards resulting primarily from the impact of COVID-19. The completion of a certain large project in theour Services Segment inat the end of the second quarter exacerbatedof 2021 continued to be delayed/curtailed for most of the decreasefirst quarter of 2022 due to COVID-19 impact and/or administrative delays experienced by certain customers. However, we have begun to see improvement in revenue. Revenue within our Treatment Segment decreased $134,000 or 1.7%. Our Treatment Segment’s revenue has been negatively impacted by continued waste shipment delaysactivities from certain customers sinceof these new projects starting in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 at2022. The lower revenue in the startfirst quarter of 2022 resulting from delays/curtailments in work was further exacerbated by the pandemic. However, we expect to see returns in waste receipts from these customers startingcompletion of a large project in the second quarter of 2021 which was not replaced with a similar size contract because of delays in contract awards and procurement from COVID-19 impact in the first half of 2021. Our Treatment Segment revenue decreased slightly by $16,000 or 0.2%. Although we saw minimal overall change in revenue within Treatment Segment, our Treatment Segment revenue has not returned to pre-pandemic levels as certain customers continue to delay waste shipments due to impact of COVID-19. Gross profit decreased $2,344,000$720,000 or 70.8% primarily due to decreases in revenues in both segments as described above.30.6%. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by approximately 297,000$217,000 or 11.0%6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period of 2020.2021.

 

Our overall revenue decreased $7,629,000 or 16.3% to $39,278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $46,907,000 for the corresponding period of 2020. Services Segment revenue decreased by $5,427,000 or 18.4% to $24,077,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $29,504,000 for the corresponding period of 2020 primarily due to delays in procurement actions and contract awards as discussed above. Additionally, as discussed above, the completion of a certain large project in the Services Segment in the second quarter of 2021 exacerbated the decrease in revenue. Treatment Segment revenue decreased by $2,202,000 or 12.7% to $15,201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $17,403,000 for the corresponding period of 2020 primarily due to continued delays in waste shipments from certain customers as discussed above. Total gross profit decreased $4,628,000 or 58.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2020. Total SG&A expenses increased $575,000 or 10.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of 2020.

Our working capital was $3,394,000 at June 30, 2021 as compared to working capital of $3,672,000 at December 31, 2020. Our working capital was negatively impacted by revenue decreases in both Segments. However, the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan, along with accrued interest, by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) had a positive impact to our working capital (see “The CARES Act – PPP Loan” within this MD&A for a discussion of this loan forgiveness).

Business Environment

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 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 thepotential further impact resulting from COVID-19 as discussed above.COVID-19. 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’ noticefor convenience at any time at the government’s option, and our governmental contracts/task orders with the Canadian government authorities also allow the authorities to terminate the contract/task orders at any time for convenience. Our work under all of our contracts/task order agreements with Canadian government authorities has substantially been completed. See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”)” for additional discussion as to a terminated Canadian TOA. 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 has not generated any revenues and 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 threetwo reportable segments: The Treatment Services, and Services. Our financial results for 2021 also included our Medical Segments. As previously disclosed, we made the strategic decision to cease all R&D activities under the Medical Segment and sold 100% of our interest in PFM Poland (which comprised the Medical Segment) in December 2021. Our Medical Segment hashad not generated any revenue and allwas involved in our medical isotope production technology. All costs previously incurred areby the Medical Segment were included within R&D.

The revenue decrease was attributed primarily to lower revenue from government waste generators resulting from lower waste volume. The increase in hazardous/non hazardous wastenon-hazardous revenue was primarily due to higherlower waste volume. Revenue from other nuclear waste was lower primarily due to lower averaged price waste. OurWaste from government generators increased by approximately $1,050,000 or 23.9% primarily due higher waste volume. Although we saw minimal overall change in revenue within Treatment Segment, our Treatment Segment revenue has been negatively impactednot returned to pre-pandemic levels as certain customers continue to delay waste shipments due, in part, to impact of COVID-19.

Treatment Segment revenue decreased $2,202,000 or 12.7 % for the six months ended June 30, 2021 over the same period in 2020 primarily due to lower waste volume. As previously disclosed, since the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 at the start of the pandemic, revenue within our Treatment Segment has been impacted by waste shipment delays from certain customers primarily due to the impact of COVID-19. Within our Treatment Segment, revenue generated from other nuclear waste increased primarily due to higher waste volume generated from commercial customers. Services Segment revenue decreased $5,427,000 or 18.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 over the same period in 2020. As previously disclosed, our Services Segment revenue for the first six months of 2021 was impacted by delays in procurement actions and contract awards resulting primarily from the impact of COVID-19.

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $128,000$271,000 or 2.1%4.1%. The increased costs was primarily due to higher overall fixed costs of approximately $277,000 resulting from the following: general expenses were higher by $144,000 primarily due to higher utility costs; salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $49,000; depreciation expenses were higher by approximately $59,000 due to depreciation for asset retirement obligations in connection with our EWOC facility; regulatory expenses were higher by approximately $15,000; and travel expenses were higher by $10,000 resulting from easing up of COVID-19 restrictions. Treatment Segment’s variable costs increaseddecreased slightly by approximately $136,000$6,000 primarily due to lower overall costs in disposal, transportation, material and supplies andwhich were mostly offset by higher outside services. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were slightly lower by approximately $8,000 resulting from the following: payroll related expenses were lower by approximately $54,000; maintenance expenses were lower by $54,000; general expenses were higher by $52,000 in various categories; depreciation expenses were higher by approximately $35,000 due to more financed leases; and travel expenses were higher by approximately $13,000 due to ease of travel restrictions since the start of the pandemic.services costs. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $3,686,000approximately $6,769,000 or 29.3%47.6% primarily due to lower revenue.

R&D costs consist primarily of employee salaries and benefits, laboratory costs, third party fees, and other related costs associated with the development of new technologies and technological enhancement of new potential waste treatment processes. The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of PF Poland in December 2021 which comprised of our Medical Segment and which previously was involved in the R&D of our medical isotope technology.

 

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by approximately $26,000 and $63,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2020 primarily due to lower interest earned from lower finite risk sinking fund.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flow requirements during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were primarily financed by our operations, cash on hand and credit facility availability. Subject to the impact of COVID-19 and other delays 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 and cash on handhand. We continue to explore all sources of increasing our capital to supplement our liquidity requirements, when needed, and if deemed appropriate, other sources available to us.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 continuedand other delays as disclosed in waste shipments from certain customers, delays in procurement actions“COVID-19 Impact and contract awards, and/or certain reserves that our lender has placed (see the amendment that we entered into with our lender in August 2021 in “Financing Activities” below) or may place in the future against our revolving line of credit,Impact due to Other Delays” within this MD&A, there are no assurances such will be the case.As a result, we continue to explore all sources, including, but not limited to, selling additional stock of ours under our currently effective shelf registration, to increase our capital or supplement our liquidity requirements and working capital. 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.

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.

 

During March 2022, we signed a joint venture term sheet addressing plans to partner with Springfields Fuels Limited (“SFL”), an affiliate of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, to develop and manage a nuclear waste-materials treatment facility (the “Facility”) in the United Kingdom. The Facility is for the purpose of expanding the partners’ waste treatment capabilities for the European nuclear market. It is expected that upon finalization of a partnership agreement, SFL will have an ownership interest of fifty-five (55) percent and our interest will be forty-five (45) percent. The finalization, form and capitalization of this unpopulated partnership is subject to numerous conditions, including but not limited to, winning a certain contract, completion and execution of a definitive agreement and facility design, and the granting of required regulatory, lender or permitting approvals. Upon finalization of this venture, we will be required to make an investment in this venture. The amount of our investment, the period of which it is to be made and the method of funding are to be determined.

Financing Activities

We expect to meet our quarterly financial covenant requirements for the next twelve months under our Loan Agreement, as amended, as discussed above.Agreement.

 

The CARES Act

PPP Loan

On April 14, 2020, we entered into a promissory note under the PPP with PNC, our credit facility lender, which had a balance of approximately $5,318,000 (the “PPP Loan”) at March 31, 2021. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and is administered by the SBA. The CARES Act was subsequently amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (“Flexibility Act”). Proceeds from the promissory note was used by us for eligible payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs as permitted under the Flexibility Act. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.0%

On October 5, 2020, we applied for forgiveness on repayment of the PPP Loan as permitted under the Flexibility Act. On July 1, 2021, we were notified by PNC that the entire balance of the PPP Loan of approximately $5,318,000, along with accrued interest of approximately $63,000 was forgiven by the SBA, effective June 15, 2021. Accordingly, we recorded the entire forgiven PPP Loan balance, along with accrued interest, totaling approximately $5,381,000 as “Gain on extinguishment of debt” on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Deferral of Employment Tax Deposits

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. At June 30, 2021, we have deferred payment of approximately $1,252,000 in our share of social security taxes, of which approximately $626,000 is included in “Other long-term liabilities,” with the remaining balance included in “Accrued expenses” within current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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, 2021,March 31, 2022, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $3,020,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $43,561,000.$51,295,000. 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, 2021,March 31, 2022, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $19,898,000.$21,047,000.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

 

Significant Customers. Our Treatment and Services Segments have significant relationships with the U.S and Canadian governmental authorities through contracts entered into indirectly as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors or directly as the prime contractor to government authorities. As stated previously, our governmentalWe also had significant relationships with Canadian government authorities primarily through TOAs entered into with Canadian government authorities. Project work under all TOAs with Canadian government authorities has substantially been completed. The contracts and subcontracts relatingthat we are a party to activitieswith others as subcontractors to the U.S federal government or directly with the U.S federal government generally provide that the government may terminate the contract at governmental sites in the United States are generally subject to termination or renegotiation on 30 days’ noticeany time for convenience at the government’s option, and ouroption. The contracts/TOAs that we are a party to with Canadian governmental contracts/task orders withauthorities also generally provide that the Canadian government authorities allow the authorities tomay terminate the contract/task orderscontracts/TOAs at any time for any reason for convenience. Our inability to continue under existing material contracts that we have with the U.S 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.

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 $13,671,000$14,158,000 or 84.7% and $33,828,000 or 86.1%89.0% of our total revenues generatedrevenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,March 31, 2022, as compared to $19,811,000$20,157,000 or 89.9% and $42,313,000 or 90.2%87.1% of our total revenues generatedrevenue during the threecorresponding period of 2021.

COVID-19 Impact. See “COVID-19 Impact and six months ended June 30, 2020.Impact due to Other Delays” within this MD&A for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our financial results and the potential impact it may have to our future financial results and business operations.

Perma-Fix Canada, Inc. (“PF Canada”)

During the fourth quarter of 2021, PF Canada received a Notice of Termination (“NOT”) from CNL on a TOA that PF Canada entered into with CNL in May 2019 for remediation work within Ontario, Canada (“Agreement”). The NOT was received after work under the TOA was substantially completed and work under the TOA has since been completed. CNL may terminate the TOA at any time for convenience. As of March 31, 2022, PF Canada has approximately $2,722,000 in unpaid receivables and unbilled costs due from CNL as a result of work performed under the TOA. Additionally, CNL has approximately $1,150,000 in contractual holdback under the TOA that is payable to PF Canada. CNL also established a bond securing approximately $1,900,000 (CAD) to cover certain issue raised in connection with the TOA. Under the TOA, CNL may be entitled to set off certain costs and expenses incurred by CNL in connection with the termination of the TOA, including the bond as discussed above, against amounts owed to PF Canada for work performed by PF Canada or its subcontractors. PF Canada continues to be in discussions with CNL to finalize the amounts due to PF Canada under the TOA and continues to believes these amounts are due and payable.

 

COVID-19 Impact.Supply Chain. The extentWe use various commercially available materials and supplies which include among other things chemicals, containers/drums and personal protective equipment in our operations. We generally source these items from various suppliers in order to take advantage of the impactcompetitive pricing.

We also utilize various types of the COVID-19 pandemic onequipment, which include among other things trucks, flatbeds, lab equipment, heavy machineries, in carrying out our business continues tooperations. Our equipment may be uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses to the pandemic continue to evolve rapidly. We continue to experience delays in waste shipments from certain customers within our Treatment Segment primarily related to the impact of COVID-19. However, we expect to see returns in waste receipts from these customers in the second half of 2021.obtained through direct purchase, rental option or leases. Within our Services Segment, equipment required for projects are often provided by our subcontractors as part of our contract agreement with the subcontractor. Due to some of our specialized waste treatment processes, certain equipment that we continueutilize are designed and built to experienceour specifications. We rely on various commercial equipment suppliers for the construction of these equipment. Due to recent supply chain challenges, we experienced a delay in the delivery of a new waste processing unit to us by our supplier due to shortage of parts required for the construction of the unit, among other things. Delivery of this unit was expected during the third quarter of 2021 but did not occur until the latter part of the first quarter of 2022. The supply chain interruption delayed deployment of our new technology which negatively impacted our revenue for 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 as associated revenue was not able to be generated. Deployment of this unit is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2022. Continued increases in pricing and/or potential delays in procurement actionsprocurements of material and contract awardssupplies and equipment required for our operations resulting primarily from the impact of COVID-19 but have recently begun to receive contract awards. We expect procurement actionsfurther tightening supply chain could further adversely affect our operations and contract awards to continue throughout the second half of 2021. Within our Treatment and Services Segments, we have an unprecedented number of bids currently submitted and awaiting awards.profitability.

 

The severityPotential Partnership with Springfields Fuels Limited. As discussed above, we have signed a term sheet addressing plans to partner with Springfields Fuels Limited, an affiliate of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, to develop and manage a nuclear waste-materials treatment facility in the impact the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend onUnited Kingdom. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Investing Activities” of this MD&A for a numberdiscussion of factors, including, but not limited to, the durationthis transaction.

Inflation and severity of the pandemic, impact from the emergence of new variants of the virus, the extent and severity of the impact on our customers, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, inoculation rate of the 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 from continued delaysCost Increases. Continued increases in waste shipments, continued delays in procurement actions and contract awards, and/or recurrence of project work shut downs as well as potential partial/full shutdown of any of our facilities dueoperating costs, including further changes in fuel prices (which impacts our transportation costs), wage rates, supplies, and utility costs, may further increase our overall cost of goods sold or operating expenses. Some of these cost increases have been the result of inflationary pressures that could further reduce profitability. We may attempt to COVID-19.increase our sales prices in order to maintain satisfactory margin; however, competitive pressures in our industry may have the effect of inhibiting our ability to reflect these increased costs in the prices of our services that we provide to our customers and therefore reduce our profitability.

 

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.

 

3531

 

 

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 partythird-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 whereWe have three environmental remediation expenditures will be made are at three sitesprojects, all within our discontinued operations. While no assurances can be made that we will be able to do so, weoperations, which principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil, and, in most cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. We expect to fund the expenses to remediate these sites from funds generated from operations.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $781,000, a decrease of $73,000$876,000, with no change from the December 31, 20202021 balance of $854,000. The decrease represents primarily payments made on remediation projects.$876,000. At June 30, 2021, $671,000March 31, 2022, $621,000 of the total accrued environmental liabilities was recorded as current.

Item 4.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of disclosure 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 not effective as of June 30,March 31, 2022 as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as set forth below.

Certain revenue contracts that contained nonstandard terms and conditions were not appropriately evaluated in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Specifically, management did not have the appropriate controls in place over the determination of revenue recognition for nonroutine and complex revenue transactions. The material weakness identified resulted in errors in the Company’s books and records which led to audit adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2021. The errors arising from the underlying revenue adjustments were not material to the financial statements reported in any interim or annual period and therefore, did not result in a revision to any previously filed financial statements. However, the control deficiencies could result in misstatements of the revenue accounts and related disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Accordingly, we have determined that the control deficiencies when evaluated in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.

32

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The material weakness as discussed above was primarily attributed to the uniqueness of certain of the Company’s contracts that contain nonstandard terms and conditions. Although the Company’s policies and procedures were in place to ensure guidance under ASC 606 were applied to the majority of its contracts accurately, the Control failed to operate in a manner to specifically identify the nonstandard terms that would impact revenue recognition. The Company is evaluating the material weakness identified and is developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our internal controls pertaining to evaluating revenue contracts that contain nonstandard terms and conditions. This remediation plan includes evaluating the manner in which we use third-party consulting firms with expertise in applying the revenue recognition guidance that will assist management with the assessment and evaluation of revenue contracts executed that contain nonstandard terms and conditions. In conjunction with further evaluation of this relationship, management will also perform a more rigorous evaluation of these nonstandard revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606.

The Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls. The Company has started to implement these steps, however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

 

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.reporting
ThereOther than the aforementioned material weakness and remediation plan noted, 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.
