Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-looking Statements Certain statements contained within this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”. All statements in this report other than a statement of historical fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results and performance of the Company to differ materially from such statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein relate to, among other things, ● demand for our services; ● reductions in the level of government funding in future years; ● spending priorities of Congress; ● passage of U.S. fiscal year government budgets or enactment of CRs to keep government departments and agencies in operations; ● improvement in financial results in remainder of 2026; ● advancement of our Perma-FAS technology to support long-term growth; ● demand, pricing, or throughput levels for PFAS waste volumes are sufficient to offset costs incurred from PFAS initiatives; ● waste receipt related to DFLAW program in the second quarter of 2026; ● increase in Hanford waste receipts in 2026; ● delays in anticipated treatment waste volumes; ● reducing operating costs and non-essential expenditures; ● ability to meet our quarterly financial covenant requirements under our PNC Loan Agreement; ● expansion into international and commercial markets; ● cash flow requirements; ● expects to either enter into a new loan agreement or amend our existing PNC Loan Agreement with our lender; ● sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund operations for the next twelve months; ● projected cash flows from operations subject to timing and uncertainty, including those resulting from ongoing federal spending constraints; ● amount and funding of capital expenditures; ● funding of operating and capital expenditures from existing cash from operations, Liquidity under our Credit Facility, and/or financing; ● ability to continue to operate as a going concern; ● improvement in operating margin from absorption of fixed costs with waste volume increase; ● pursue additional sources of liquidity, include raising capital through equity or other financing arrangements or disposing of certain assets; ● obtain additional liquidity on acceptable terms, or at all; ● the efficacy of our PFAS technology process compared to other PFAS destruction or treatment methods; ● adoption and acceptance of our PFAS technology are subject to regulatory and market factors; ● limited current treatment destruction options for these materials to eliminate generator liabilities; ● deployment of the second generation PFAS destruction unit in second half of 2026; ● expectation that the second generation PFAS destruction unit will triple our production capacity; ● funding of remediation expenditures for sites from funds generated internally; ● compliance with environmental regulations; ● positioning for procurements from DOE and other government agencies; 23 ● remediation of material weakness identified; ● potential effect of being a PRP; ● material adverse effect on financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow from NOV at the PFNWR facility; ● favorable resolution of the NOV at the PFNWR facility; ● potential violations of environmental laws and attendant remediation at our facilities. ● result of contract with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and ● results of strategic operations.

Our forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and the information available to our management at the time these statements were prepared. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future. Overview Our results from operations for the first quarter of 2026 were significantly impacted by lower revenues than anticipated due to reduced receipts in conjunction with planned efforts to reduce waste inventories in support of second quarter anticipated receipts and program starts. Our prioritization of processing existing waste inventories, particularly at the PFNWR facility, and the associated timing of these activities deferred revenue recognition into the second quarter. The decrease in activity in the first quarter of 2026 was driven in part by deferred receipts now expected in the second quarter associated with the commencement and ramp-up of the operational phase of DOE’s DFLAW program at Hanford Washington. The commencement, scope, and timing of DFLAW-related waste streams are controlled by the DOE and subject to appropriations, procurement processes, and operational considerations beyond our control. Additionally, seasonal factors, including winter weather and typical post-holiday slowdowns, reduced field activity and delayed waste shipments at each of our plants. In anticipation of increased waste treatment volumes, including those under the DFLAW program, we have made investments to expand treatment capacity, increase our trained workforce, and upgrade infrastructure. As previously disclosed, in December 2025, our PFNWR facility received its long-awaited permit renewal from state regulators. Among other enhancements, this renewal approximately triples the facility’s permitted liquid mixed waste processing capacity to approximately 1,200,000 gallons per year and authorizes the processing of up to 175,000 tons of waste annually through macroencapsulation. This expanded permit provides additional capacity and operational flexibility, enhancing our ability to manage a broader range of complex waste treatment requirements. As waste volumes increase, we expect improved absorption of our fixed operating costs, which we believe should positively impact operating margins. As a result of the combined foregoing factors, revenue for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by approximately $2,793,000, or 20.1%, to $11,126,000, compared to $13,919,000, for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting lower revenue in both the Treatment and Services segments. Overall cost of goods sold increased by $745,000 or approximately 5.6% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to the corresponding period of 2025. Overall gross profit decreased by approximately $3,538,000 or 538.5% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to the corresponding period of 2025, due to lower revenue, changes in waste and project mix across our segments and overall higher fixed costs. Our overall SG&A increased by $284,000 or 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period of 2025. See below “Results of Operations” for further discussions of our financial results for our two segments. As a result of our recurring losses and negative operating cash flows, our liquidity has declined, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within this MD&A for a discussion of factors and conditions that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern). We believe we are positioned for potential improvements in our financial results for the remainder of 2026. We anticipate that our continuing initiatives include positioning ourselves for further large and mid-size procurements within the DOE and DOW and waste treatment in support of DOE’s Hanford closure strategy. During the first quarter of 2026, our Services Segment was awarded a two-year master task agreement which we believe to be valued at approximately $24 million for demolition and disposal at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. 25 Additionally, we continue to focus on expansion into commercial and international markets. Furthermore, we are continuing our aggressive R&D, sales and marketing efforts and capital expenditures related to our new patent-pending technology for the [Excerpt truncated for page length; source filing is linked above.]

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements contained within Item 1 – “Business” and this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the “Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”). See “Special Note regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this report. Management’s discussion and analysis is based, among other things, on our audited consolidated financial statements and includes our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 8 of this report. 19 Overview In 2025, we generated modest consolidated revenue growth year-over-year, while delivering improvements in gross profit and operating performance compared to the prior year, driven primarily by a rebound in the Treatment Segment. The Treatment Segment benefited from higher waste volumes and higher averaged price waste mix, which included higher revenue generated from international and commercial clients. In contrast, the Services Segment experienced lower revenue, due in part to delays in project mobilization and delays in procurements that resulted from changes to the current presidential administration that began in January 2025 (the “Administration”) and supporting policies that occurred in the first half of 2025. The partial government shutdown that occurred effective October 1, 2025, also negatively impacted our revenue as procurement timing cycles were impacted. Overall revenue increased by $2,557,000 or 4.3% to $61,674,000 in 2025 as compared to $59,117,000 in 2024. The increase was entirely from our Treatment Segment where revenue increased by $10,144,000 or approximately 29.0% to $45,097,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, from $34,953,000 in the same period of 2024. Services Segment revenue decreased $7,587,000 or 31.4% to $16,577,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, from $24,164,000 for the same period of 2024. Gross profit increased by $5,971,000 or approximately 298,550% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $1,925,000 or 13.3% for twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. In spite of the improvement in gross profit, we experienced a loss from continuing operations of approximately $10,665,000 in 2025. While the loss was disappointing, it reflected an improvement of approximately 45.5% from the 2024 loss from continuing operations of $19,569,000. See “Results of Operations” below for discussions of certain financial metrics pertaining to our operations, which includes our two reportable segments. We believe we are positioned for potential improvements in our financial results in 2026. These expectations are based on management’s current assumptions regarding the timing and execution of anticipated waste treatment volumes, including the commencement and ramp-up of activities associated with the Direct-Feed-Low-Activity Waste (“DFLAW”) program at Hanford, Washington, as well as our ability to convert existing Treatment Segment backlog into revenue. Treatment Segment backlog as of December 31, 2025, was approximately $11,861,000, representing an increase of approximately 50.9% from Treatment Segment backlog of $7,859,000 as of December 31, 2024. However, Treatment Segment backlog does not guarantee immediate revenue, as the timing of backlog processing may vary based on waste complexity, customer requirements, and operational considerations. As noted above, however, we believe that our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) treatment facility, immediately adjacent to the Hanford Nuclear Site, is positioned to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) DFLAW program at Hanford, which began hot commissioning of the Low-Activity Waste Vitrification Facility in October 2025. The subsequent operational phase of the DFLAW program is anticipated to begin in 2026, which will include generation of several effluent waste streams expected to be treated by our PFNWR facility. However, the commencement, scope, and timing of DFLAW-related waste streams are controlled by the DOE and subject to appropriations, procurement processes, and operational considerations beyond our control. Delays in anticipated waste treatment volumes, including DFLAW-related waste streams, could impact our results of operations as we continue to incur fixed operating costs and capital expenditures in anticipation of waste treatment volumes and program activities. We continue to focus on expansion into international markets which is reflected in revenue generated from foreign entities of approximately $6,440,000 in 2025, as compared to $2,452,000 in the corresponding period of 2024, an increase of $3,988,000 or 162.6%. Additionally, we continue our aggressive research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing efforts and capital expenditures relating to our new patent-pending technology for the destruction of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), which activities adversely impacted our results of operations in 2025 (See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” for a discussion of our new PFAS-destruction technology). Finally, our continuing initiatives include, among other things, positioning ourselves for further large and mid-size procurements within the DOE and U.S. Department of War (“DOW”) and waste treatment in support of DOE’s Hanford closure strategy, continuing investments in our facilities and capabilities to allow for broader waste treatment (including PFAS) and continuing expansion of our waste treatment offerings within the commercial market. We are continually monitoring our operating costs to ensure alignment with our revenue levels. See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Federal Funding” within this MD&A for a discussion of factors that could impact our results of operations in 2026. 20 Business Environment Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continue to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to federal governmental clients, primarily as subcontractors for others who are 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, current economic and political conditions, government reductions, passage of government budgets and continuing resolutions (“CRs”), and the manner in which the applicable government authority will be required to spend funding to remediate various sites. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at federal governmental sites are generally subject to termination for convenience at any time, at the government’s option. Significant reductions in the level of governmental funding, government shutdown 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, liquidity and cash flows. Results of Operations The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to our two reportable segments: The Treatment Segment and Services Segment. Summary - Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 Below are the results of continuing operations for years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 (amounts in thousands): (Consolidated) 2025 % 2024 % Net revenues $ 61,674 100.0 $ 59,117 100.0 Cost of goods sold 55,701 90.3 59,115 100.0 Gross profit 5,973 9.7 2 — Selling, general and administrative 16,416 26.6 14,491 24.5 Research and development 1,291 2.1 1,172 2.0 Loss on disposal of property and equipment 1 — 21 — Loss from operations (11,735 ) (19.0 ) (15,682 ) (26.5 ) Interest income 1,123 1.8 921 1.5 Interest expense (230 ) (.4 ) (473 ) (.8 ) Interest expense – financing fees (84 ) (.1 ) (66 ) (.1 ) Other income 261 .4 166 .3 Loss from continuing operations before taxes (10,665 ) (17.3 ) (15,134 ) (25.6 ) Income tax expense — — 4,435 7.5 Loss from continuing operations $ (10,665 ) (17.3 ) $ (19,569 ) (33.1 ) 21 Revenue Consolidated revenues increased $2,557,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, as follows: (In thousands) 2025 % Revenue 2024 % Revenue Change % Change Treatment Government waste $ 31,510 51.1 $ 22,098 37.4 $ 9,412 42.6 Hazardous/non-hazardous (1) 5,460 8.8 4,995 8.4 465 9.3 Other nuclear waste 8,127 13.2 7,860 13.3 267 3.4 Total 45,097 73.1 34,953 59.1 10,144 29.0 Services Nuclear 10,117 16.4 20,353 34.4 (10,236 ) (50.3 ) Technical 6,460 10.5 3,811 6.5 2,649 69.5 Total 16,577 26.9 24,164 40.9 (7,587 ) (31.4 ) Total $ 61,674 100.0 $ 59,117 100.0 $ 2,557 4.3 1) Includes waste generated by government clients of $2,269,000 and $2,898,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Treatment Segment revenue increased by $10,144,000 or 29.0% for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2025, over the same period in 2024. The overall increase in revenue in the Treatment Segment revenue was primarily due to higher waste volume and higher averaged price waste mix. Our Treatment Segment revenue was also positively impacted by our international initiatives, which generated an increase in revenue of approximately $3,832,000 or 201.7%, to $5,732,000, as compared to $1,900,000, for the same period of last year. Services Segment revenue decreased by approximately $7,587,000 or 31.4%. The decrease in revenue in the Services Segment was due to reasons as discussed in the “Overview” section. Additionally, our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration, and completion of each project vary. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold decreased $3,414,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, as follows: % % (In thousands) 2025 Revenue 2024 Revenue Change Treatment $ 40,303 89.4 $ 36,063 103.2 $ 4,240 Services 15,398 92.9 23,052 95.4 $ (7,654 ) Total $ 55,701 90.3 $ 59,115 100.0 $ (3,414 ) Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $4,240,000 or 11.8%. Treatment Segment’s overall variable costs increased by approximately $1,675,000 primarily due to the following: overall material and supplies, lab, transportation, and outside services costs were higher by approximately $3,371,000; variable payroll costs (overtime) were higher by approximately $426,000 due to increased waste volume production; and disposal costs were lower by approximately $2,122,000. Within our Treatment Segment, variable cost categories can fluctuate based on waste mix. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $2,565,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by $2,130,000 due to higher headcount and cost-of-living adjustments (“COLA”) effected during the third quarter of 2025; general expenses were higher by $376,000, mostly due to higher utility costs; travel expenses were higher by approximately $123,000; maintenance expenses were higher by approximately $59,000 from overall general maintenance of equipment and updates to facility security; depreciation expenses were higher by $106,000 due to more finance leases and equipment purchases; and regulatory expenses were lower by approximately $229,000 from fewer regulatory matters. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $7,654,000 or 33.2% primarily due to lower revenue. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to overall lower salaries/payroll related, outside services, and travel costs totaling approximately $7,180,000; lower depreciation expenses totaling approximately $44,000 as certain equipment became fully depreciated in 2025; lower general expenses of approximately $265,000 in various categories; and overall lower disposal, material and supplies and regulatory costs totaling approximately $165,000. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $1,700,000 and $1,637,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. 22 Gross Profit Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $5,971,000 higher than 2024 as follows: % % (In thousands) 2025 Revenue 2024 Revenue Change Treatment $ 4,794 10.6 $ (1,110 ) (3.2 ) $ 5,904 Services 1,179 7.1 1,112 4.6 $ 67 Total $ 5,973 9.7 $ 2 0.0 $ 5,971 Treatment Segment gross profit increased by $5,904,000 or approximately 531.9% and gross margin increased to 10.6% % from (3.2)% primarily due to higher revenue from higher waste volume and higher averaged price waste mix. The increase in fixed costs within the Treatment Segment partially offset these improvements, negatively impacting gross profit and gross margin. Services Segment gross profit increased by $67,000 or approximately 6.0% and gross margin improved to 7.1% from 4.6%. The increases were attributed primarily to overall improved margin on projects and lower fixed costs which were offset by the impact of lower revenue. Our Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures. SG&A SG&A expenses increased $1,925,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period for 2024 as follows: (In thousands) 2025 % Revenue 2024 % Revenue Change Administrative $ 7,932 — $ 6,896 — $ 1,036 Treatment 5,268 11.7 4,290 12.3 978 Services 3,216 19.4 3,305 13.7 (89 ) Total $ 16,416 26.6 $ 14,491 24.5 $ 1,925 Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to higher salaries, payroll related expenses and stock option compensation expenses totaling approximately $558,000. The hiring of the Company’s COO in January 2025 and COLA increases to payroll effected during the third quarter of 2025 contributed to this increase. The remaining higher expenses in Administrative SG&A were primarily due to higher outside services expenses of approximately $425,000 from more legal and business-related matters and higher travel expenses of approximately $53,000 due to more travel by senior management. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $713,000 as more employee hours were allocated to marketing initiatives of our new PFAS technology and overall business development; general expense were higher by approximately $244,000 in various categories (which include higher tradeshow expenses of approximately $157,000); travel expenses were higher by $35,000; and outside services expenses were lower by approximately $14,000 from fewer consulting matters. Services Segment SG&A expenses were lower primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were lower by approximately $57,000 as fewer employee hours were allocated in supporting administrative/marketing functions due to lower revenue; general expenses were lower by approximately $62,000 in various categories; outside services expenses were higher by approximately $10,000 due to more consulting matters; and travel expense were higher by approximately $20,000. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expense of $59,000 and $126,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. R&D R&D expenses increased by $119,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024, primarily due to expenses incurred in connection with our new PFAS technology. 23 Interest Income Interest income increased by approximately $202,000 for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The increase in interest income in 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarily due to higher interest income earned from funds deposited into our money market deposit account (“MMDA”) from the two equity raises that were completed in May 2024 and December 2024, offset by lower interest income earned from our finite risk sinking fund from lower interest rate. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by approximately $243,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of capitalization of approximately $231,000 in interest costs incurred on debt on construction of projects for our use, particularly our PFAS reactors. Income Taxes We had income tax expenses of $0 and $4,435,000 for continuing operations for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rates were approximately 0% and (29.3%) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the each of the periods above was impacted by our recognition of a full valuation allowance against our U.S federal and state deferred tax assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Backlog Our Treatment Segment maintains a backlog of stored waste, which represents waste that has not been processed. The backlog is principally a result of the timing and complexity of the waste being brought into the facilities and the selling price per container. As of December 31, 2025, our Treatment Segment had a backlog of approximately $11,861,000, as compared to approximately $7,859,000 as of December 31, 2024. Additionally, the time it takes to process waste from the time it arrives may increase due to the types and complexities of the waste we are currently receiving. We use our best efforts to increase treatment of our waste backlog during period of lower incoming waste receipts to optimize facility utilization, which historically has occurred in the first and fourth quarters. Discontinued Operations and Environmental Liabilities Our discontinued operations consist of all our subsidiaries included in our former Industrial Segment which encompasses subsidiaries divested in 2011 and earlier, as well as three previously closed locations. Our discontinued operations had no revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We incurred net losses of $3,119,000 (net of tax expense of $0) and $410,000 (net of tax benefit of $149,000) for our discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Our net loss for 2025 included an increase to the environmental remediation reserve of approximately $2,721,000 for our Perma-Fix of South Geogia, Inc. (“PFSG”) subsidiary as discussed below. The remaining net loss for 2025 and net loss for 2024 were primarily due to costs incurred in connection with management of administrative and regulatory matters related to our remediation projects. We have three remediation projects, which are currently in progress relating to our Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. (“PFD”), Perma-Fix of Memphis (“PFM”) and PFSG subsidiaries, all within our discontinued operations. We divested PFD in 2008; however, the environmental liability of PFD was retained by us upon the divestiture of PFD. These remediation projects principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil and, in most cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. The remediation activities are closely reviewed and monitored by the applicable state regulators. As of December 31, 2025, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $3,485,000, an increase of $2,718,000 from the December 31, 2024, balance of $767,000. The net increase of approximately $2,718,000 reflects an increase of approximately $2,721,000 made to the reserve at our PFSG subsidiary following a reassessment of remediation cost estimates after clarification of the remediation plan from the state regulator, offset by payments of approximately $3,000 for our PFSG remediation project. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $76,000 of our total environmental remediation liabilities were recorded as current. 24 Liquidity and Capital Resources Based on current operating conditions and the timing of anticipated waste receipts and program activities, we currently expect to incur a loss from operations during the first quarter of 2026. This expectation also reflects the timing of backlog processing, continued operating fixed costs and capital expenditures incurred in anticipation of program activities, including ongoing investments in new technology initiatives and with respect to the DFLAW program. Despite the anticipated near-term operating loss, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit (see “Financing Activities – Credit Facility” below for a discussion of our Revolving Credit) and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months, based on management’s current assumptions regarding the timing and execution of anticipated waste treatment volumes. Our cash flow requirements during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were financed by our Liquidity (defined under our Loan Agreement as borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit of our Credit Facility plus cash in our MMDA maintained with our lender). Our MMDA consists of cash received in connection with the sale of our Common Stock completed in 2024 as discussed below under “Financing Activities.” We believe our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, administration and monitoring of our discontinued operations, R&D related to our PFAS technology and capital expenditures, including expenditures related to our PFAS technology (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” within this MD&A for a discussion of this technology). We plan to fund these requirements from our operations and our Liquidity. We continually review operating costs and evaluate opportunities to reduce operating costs and non-essential expenditures in order to align spending levels with revenue levels. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowing under our Revolving Credit and our Liquidity was approximately $18,126,000, which included approximately $11,529,000 of cash held in our MMDA. The following table reflects the cash flow activity for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024: (In thousands) 2025 2024 Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations $ (10,311 ) $ (14,146 ) Cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations (441 ) (597 ) Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations (4,897 ) (4,079 ) Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations (54 ) (51 ) Cash (used in) provided by financing activities of continuing operations (981 ) 40,955 Effect of exchange rate changes on cash 13 (1 ) (Decrease) increase in cash and finite risk sinking fund (restricted cash) $ (16,671 ) $ 22,081 As of December 31, 2025, we were in a positive cash position with no Revolving Credit balance. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash on hand of approximately $11,768,000, which included cash from our foreign subsidiaries of approximately $153,000. The decline in our cash from 2024 to 2025 of approximately $17,207,000 was primarily due to funding of our operating losses and capital investment. Operating Activities Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations during 2025 consisted mostly of the net loss that we incurred of approximately $10,665,000, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as $818,000 of stock-based compensation expenses and $1,759,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses. Cash flow decrease of approximately $2,921,000 resulting from net change in assets and liabilities reflects an increase in unbilled receivables of approximately $3,791,000, a net decrease in accounts payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other accruals totaling approximately $1,660,000, offset by a decreased in accounts receivable (net of provision for credit losses) of approximately $216,000 and a net decrease in inventories, prepaids and other assets totaling approximately of $2,314,000. Our accounts receivables are impacted by timing of invoicing and collections. Our contracts with our customers are subject to various payment terms and conditions. Our unbilled receivables are impacted by differences between invoicing timing and our revenue recognition methodology. Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations during 2024 consisted mostly of the significant net loss that we incurred of approximately $19,569,000, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as $656,000 of stock-based compensation expense, $1,763,000 of depreciation and amortization expense and the deferred income tax expense of $4,448,000. Cash flow decrease of approximately $2,229,000 resulting from net change in assets and liabilities reflects an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $2,076,000 (net of provision for credit losses), a net decrease in accounts payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other accruals totaling approximately $6,667,000, offset by a decreased in unbilled receivables of approximately $3,442,000 and a net decrease in inventories, prepaids and other assets totaling approximately of $3,072,000. 25 Cash used in operating activities of our discontinued operations during 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of expenses incurred in connection with management of administrative and regulatory matters related to our remediation projects. We had working capital of $13,803,000 (which included working capital of our discontinued operations) as of December 31, 2025, as compared to working capital of $28,283,000 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in our working capital was primarily driven by the losses incurred from our operations during 2025 as previously discussed and increase in capital expenditures as discussed below. Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations during 2025 consisted mostly of our purchases of property and equipment totaling approximately $5,172,000, of which $464,000 was financed. Our capital expenditures for 2025 included expenditures made for our PFAS treatment systems, which include our second-generation unit. The remaining cash used in investing activities consisted of cash outlays of approximately $217,000 made in connection with our operating permits and certain intangible assets. Total cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations was partially offset by approximately $28,000 from our sale of idle equipment. Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations during 2024 consisted mostly of our purchases of property and equipment totaling approximately $3,811,000, of which $406,000 was financed. Our capital expenditures for 2024 included expenditures made for our prototype PFAS treatment unit. The remaining cash used in investing activities consisted of cash outlays made in connection with our operating permits and certain intangible assets. Cash used in investing activities of our discontinued operations during 2025 consisted of payments made in connection with a certain regulatory permit at our Perma-Fix South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”) subsidiary and improvements made to the existing building. Cash used in investing activities of our discontinued operations in 2024 was primarily for roof replacement at our PFSG location. Capital Expenditures We anticipate making capital expenditures of approximately $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in 2026 to maintain operations and regulatory compliance requirements and support revenue growth, including the completion of our second-generation unit for our PFAS technology. We plan to fund our capital expenditures for 2026 from cash from operations, Liquidity under our Credit Facility and/or financing. The initiation and timing of our capital expenditures are subject to a number of factors which include, among other things, cost/benefit analysis, the pace of our strategic project initiatives and improvement in our operations. Financing Activities Our cash used in financing during 2025 consisted mostly of principal payments of approximately $631,000 primarily for our Term and Capital Loans under our Credit Facility, principal payments of $308,000 for our finance leases and payments of $195,000 of offering costs from the equity raise that we completed in December 2024, partially offset by proceeds received from option exercises of approximately $172,000. Our cash provided by financing during 2024 consisted mostly of net proceeds of $41,859,000 received from the sales of our Common Stock in May 2024 and December 2024 and proceeds received from option and warrant exercises totaling approximately $292,000, partially offset by principal payments of approximately $832,000 primarily for our Term Loans and Capital Loan under our Credit Facility and $291,000 for our finance leases. 26 Credit Facility We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 8, 2020, which has since been amended, with PNC National Association (“PNC” and “lender”), acting as agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides us with a credit facility with a maturity date of May 15, 2027 (the “Credit Facility”) which consists of the following as of December 31, 2025: (a) up to $12,500,000 revolving credit (“Revolving Credit”), which borrowing capacity is subject to eligible receivables (as defined) and reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit ($3,350,000 as of December 31, 2025) and borrowing reductions that our lender may impose from time to time ($750,000 as of December 31, 2025); (b) a term loan (“Term Loan”) of $2,500,000, requiring monthly installments of $41,667, with a balance due under the Term Loan of approximately $1,333,000 as of December 31, 2025; and (c) a capital expenditure loan (“Capital Loan”) of approximately $524,000, requiring monthly installments of principal of approximately $8,700 plus interest, with a balance due under the Capital Loan of approximately $149,000 as of December 31, 2025. On March 11, 2025, we entered into an amendment to our Loan Agreement with our lender which provided the following, among other things: ● removed the quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant testing requirement utilizing a twelve-month trailing basis; however, such FCCR testing requirement will be triggered on the day we fail to meet a minimum of $5,000,000 in daily Liquidity. If triggered, we will be required to show compliance with an FCCR ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 utilizing a trailing twelve-month period ended starting with the most recently reported fiscal quarter and each fiscal quarter thereafter. The FCCR testing requirement can be removed again once we are able to achieve a minimum of $5,000,000 in daily Liquidity for a thirty-consecutive-day period from the trigger date; ● revised the Facility Fee (as defined) from 0.375% to 0.500%. Such fee percentage will revert back to 0.375% at such time that we are able to achieve a minimum 1.15 to 1.00 ratio in FCCR on a twelve-month trailing basis; and ● required payment by the Company of an amendment fee of $12,500, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement as interest expense-financing fees. As amended, our Loan Agreement with PNC contains certain financial covenant requirements, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenant requirements, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our Loan Agreement allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our Loan Agreement and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. We met all of our financial covenant requirements in 2025. We expect to meet our covenant requirements under our Loan Agreement for the next twelve months. 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. As of December 31, 2025, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding was approximately $3,350,000 and the total amount of bonds outstanding was approximately $11,556,000. We also provide closure and post-closure requirements through a financial assurance policy for certain of our Treatment Segment facilities through American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). As of December 31, 2025, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $23,951,000. 27 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our consolidated financial statements are prepared based upon the selection and application of US GAAP, which may require us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting policies below are those we believe affect the more significant estimates and judgments used in preparation of our financial statements. Our other accounting policies are described in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-K (see “Item 8 –
