Current report
We have sustained losses during 2024, 2025, and the first six months of 2026.
Current report
The Company sustained significant losses during 2024, 2025, and the first six months of 2026. We believe that our results of operations should improve starting in the second half of 2026. If, however, we fail to become profitable on an annualized basis in the foreseeable future, this could have a material adverse effect on our operations, credit facility, liquidity and potential growth. Continuing losses may require us to seek additional liquidity through equity or other financing arrangements, potential asset dispositions, or other strategic alternatives. We may also be required to reduce certain operating expenditures, including, but not limited to, reduction in R&D activities.
Current report
As described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, our recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from continuing operations have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date those financial statements are issued. Although the May 2026 equity offering significantly increased our liquidity, management concluded that the substantial doubt was not alleviated because a significant portion of the revenues and cash flows underlying our forecast depends on the timing and volume of waste shipments and project activity directed by U.S. government customers. Those customers do not provide binding assurances regarding the timing or volume of future work, and such activity is subject to appropriations, procurement processes, operational considerations and other factors outside our control. We expect that the operational developments and backlog discussed in this report may result in improved operating results during the second half of 2026; however, the timing and amount of any improvement remain subject to significant uncertainty.
Current report
On August 10, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, and within four business days prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the PNC Loan Agreement. The amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the credit facility from May 15, 2027 to May 15, 2030 and eliminated the annual capital expenditure limitation of $6,000,000, provided that the Company maintains a minimum daily PNC Liquidity of $5,000,000. If PNC Liquidity falls below $5,000,000, the annual capital expenditure limitation of $6,000,000 becomes applicable.
Current report
On August 10, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, and within four business days prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was awarded a Master IDIQ Subcontract by Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC (“H2C”) for the treatment and disposal of pretreated liquid mixed low-level waste from DOE’s Hanford Site (the “Company’s Master Subcontract”). H2C also awarded Master IDIQ Subcontracts to two other companies. H2C is the prime contractor to DOE’s Office of Environmental Management for tank waste operations and closure at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State. Work awarded to the Company under future task orders, if any, under the Company’s Master Subcontract, would be performed at its PFNW facility in Richland, Washington and would include the receipt and treatment of pretreated mixed low-level waste, with treated waste transported by rail for final disposal at a licensed commercial mixed low-level waste disposal facility outside the State of Washington. Task orders may be issued from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2041, with performance of task orders issued before the end of the ordering period permitted for up to five years beyond the end of the ordering period. The multiple-award IDIQ procurement provides for a maximum cumulative quantity of 50 million gallons, with a maximum cumulative value of approximately $4.4 billion. These amounts represent procurement ceilings shared among all Master IDIQ Subcontract holders and do not represent amounts awarded or committed to the Company. The number, size and timing of task orders to be issued to the Company, if any, cannot be assured. Under the Company’s Performance Work Statement, the Company is required to maintain the capability to treat and dispose of pretreated tank waste at a rate of 100,800 gallons per week in accordance with facility license and permit conditions.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the PNC Loan Agreement under “Credit Facility” does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment, which is filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.6 to this Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
Current report
The information set forth above under “Credit Facility” is being provided pursuant to Items 1.01 and 2.03 of Form 8-K and the information set forth above under “Contract Award” is being provided pursuant to Item 1.01 of Form 8-K.
Removed paragraphs (12)
Previous report
Our Liquidity (defined under our PNC Loan Agreement as borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit facility plus cash in our MMDA maintained with our lender) declined from $18,126,000 at December 31, 2025 to $10,720,000 at March 31, 2026, driven by ongoing operating losses, investments in PFAS technology, and infrastructure expansion, among other things. While we expect to fund operations through cash on hand, anticipated operating cash flows, and availability under our Revolving Credit facility, these sources are subject to uncertainty, including federal budget constraints and compliance with financial covenants. If these sources are insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing or reduce expenditures, including R&D, which could materially adversely affect our business.
