Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.05 – Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 6, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized management to attempt to sell the Company’s remaining Industrial Segment facilities and operations, which are Perma-Fix of Ft. Lauderdale, Inc. (“PFFL”), Perma-Fix of Orlando, Inc. (“PFO”), and Perma-Fix of South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”) and to reclassify these facilities and operations as discontinued operations.  For 2009, these facilities accounted for approximately 8% of the Company’s total revenues and 5% of total assets.  As of the date of this report, we are unable in good faith to make a determination of the estimates required by paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this item, and we shall file an amended report on Form 8-K after we make a determination of such estimates or range of estimates.  The Company had previously sold three other Industrial Segment facilities, Perma-Fix of Maryland, Inc., Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc., and Perma-Fix Treatment Services, Inc., on January 8, 2008, March 14, 2008, and May 30, 2008, respectively.  The decision to sale our remaining Industrial Segment operations reflects our strategic decision to focus our efforts and resources primarily on our nuclear waste services.
