PART II -- Rules 12b-25(b) and (c)


If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
     

[X]

(b)

The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

     
  (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 


PART III -- NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The registrant is expected to receive a waiver from its lender as a result of its failure to meet its third quarter fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as required by its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement. However, due to unexpected delay, such waiver is not expected to be received until after the scheduled deadline filing date of November 14, 2016. The Company expects to receive such waiver during the grace period allowed by filing this Form 12b-25. The Company’s inability to meet its quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio in the third quarter of 2016 was due in large part, to the decrease in revenues sustained by our Treatment Segment as a result of delays in receipt of certain waste shipments that we expected to receive during the third quarter of 2016. The registrant is also expected to receive a further revision from its lender in the methodology to be used in calculating its quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio for the remainder of 2016.

(2)

Have all other periodic reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding twelve months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X] YES [ ] NO

   
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    [X ] YES [ ] NO
   
  If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

 

The registrant estimates that it will have revenues from continuing operations of approximately $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $4.4 million from revenues from continuing operations of $17.3 million for the corresponding period of 2015. Also, the registrant estimates it will have net loss from continuing operations of approximately $1.5 million for third quarter of 2016 as compared to income from continuing operations of $1.3 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2016 was negatively impacted due in large part, to the decrease in revenues of approximately $3.2 million sustained by our Treatment Segment as a result of delays in receipt of certain waste shipments that we expected to receive during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the timing of the completion of certain projects and the start of new projects in our Services Segment also impacted our financial results in the third quarter of 2016. The registrant estimates net loss attributable to common stockholders (both basic and diluted) to be approximately ($0.13) per share for third quarter of 2016 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders (both basic and diluted) of $0.09 for the corresponding period of 2015.
