Fuel Tech, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Fuel Tech", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") develops and provides proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization, water treatment, and advanced engineering services. These technologies enable customers to operate in a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner.

The Company’s ~~NOx~~nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction technologies reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from boilers, furnaces, and other stationary combustion sources. To reduce NOx emissions, our technologies utilize advanced combustion modification techniques and post-combustion NOx control approaches including non-catalytic, catalytic, and combined systems. The Company also provides solutions for the mitigation of particulate matter, including particulate control with electrostatic precipitator products and services, and using flue gas conditioning systems which modify the ash properties of particulate for improved collection efficiency. The Company’s FUEL CHEM® technology improves the efficiency, reliability, fuel flexibility, boiler heat rate, and environmental status of combustion units by controlling slagging, fouling, corrosion, and opacity. Water treatment technologies include DGI™ Dissolved Gas Infusion Systems which utilize a patented nozzle to deliver supersaturated oxygen solutions and other gas-water combinations to target process applications or environmental issues. This infusion process has a variety of applications in the water and wastewater industries, including remediation, aeration, biological treatment, and wastewater odor management.

Many of Fuel Tech’s products and services rely heavily on the Company’s Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling capabilities, which are enhanced by internally developed, high-end visualization software.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ~~("U.S. GAAP")~~(U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for athe fair ~~presentation~~statement of ~~the statements~~Fuel Tech's financial position, cash flows, and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Fuel Tech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic ~~has~~have presented significant risks to the Company, not all of which the Company is able to fully evaluate or even foresee at the current time. Although the impact of the pandemic is difficult to quantify, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of our products due to the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our customers’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ financial distress or concern regarding the volatility of global markets.

Geopolitical events and global economic sanctions resulting from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may impact new or existing projects and the prices and availability of raw materials, energy and other materials. These events may also impact energy and regulatory policy nationally or regionally for the impacted regions.

Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events on the Company’s sales and marketing channels and supply chain, and as a result, the ultimate extent of the effects ~~of the COVID-~~19 ~~pandemic~~ on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments. Such effects could exist for an extended period of ~~time even after~~time. The Company continues to monitor the ~~pandemic might end.~~potential impacts on the business.

On ~~February 11, 2021,~~ Fuel Tech entered into a securities purchase agreement to issue and sell, in a private placement, 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,500,000 warrants exercisable for a total of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.10 per Warrant Share, at a purchase price of $5.1625 per Share and associated warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were $25,812, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of $1,783. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire on the ~~five~~ ~~and~~ ~~one~~-half year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the Warrant Shares for resale. In addition, the Company issued to the placement agent Warrants to purchase up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $6.45 per share of Common Stock and expire on the ~~five~~ ~~and~~ ~~one~~~~-half year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the Shares and the Warrant Shares for resale.~~

Restricted cash as of June 30, 2021 ~~represents~~represent funds that are restricted to satisfy any amount borrowed against the Company's Cash Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank ~~N.A. The balance~~N.A (Cash Collateral Security agreement). In June 2022, the Company replaced the former Cash Collateral Security agreement with an Investment Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A (Investment Collateral Security agreement) where existing standby letters of ~~restricted cash totaling $368~~credit are collateralized by amounts held in the Company's investment funds (see Note 10). At June 30, 2022, the amount of funds collateralized under the Investment Collateral Security agreement is ~~comprised of $98 in current assets~~$1,990 relating to existing standby letters of credit with varying maturity dates and expire no later than June 30, 2023.~~30,~~~~2022~~ ~~and $270 in long-term assets will remain through the expiration dates of the underlying standby letter of credits (the latest maturity date is~~ ~~February 1, 2023)~~ ~~with BMO Harris Bank N.A. Refer to Note~~ 10 ~~Debt Financing for further information on the Cash Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A.~~

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

In June 2022, the Board of Directors approved a plan to invest up to $10 million of excess capital in debt securities, or held in money market funds until such investments can be made, with BMO Harris Bank N.A (BMO Harris). At June 30, 2022, $10,000 was invested in a money market fund with the intent to purchase debt securities in the near term. A portion of the funds invested are restricted as collateral under the Investment Collateral Security agreement (see Note 10).

We consider all highly liquid debt investments with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds. Carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the maturities of 3 months or less.

Our investments in debt securities consist of Unites States (US) Treasury securities, including Notes, Bonds, and Bills, and US Government Agency securities, that are designated as held-to-maturity (HTM) and stated at amortized cost. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity and does not expect to sell any debt securities before maturity to settle an obligation under the Investment Collateral Security agreement. The maturities of our HTM investments range from 3 to 36 months. HTM debt investments with original maturities of approximately three months or less from the date of purchase are classified within cash and cash equivalents. HTM debt investments with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than approximately three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. HTM debt investments with remaining maturities beyond one year are classified as other long-term investments. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, are included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Interest income under the effective yield method. Discounts or premiums are included in the effective yield and amortized on a straight-line until maturity.

Inventories consist primarily of equipment constructed for resale and spare parts and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted-average cost method. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, inventory included equipment constructed for resale of $208 and $227, respectively, and spare parts, net of reserves of $197 and $121, respectively. Usage is recorded in cost of sales in the period that parts were issued to a project, used to service equipment, or sold to customers. Inventories are periodically evaluated to identify obsolete or otherwise impaired parts and are written off when management determines usage is not probable. The Company ~~applies~~estimates the ~~provisions~~balance of ~~Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")~~ ~~842,~~ ~~Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception~~excess and obsolete inventory by ~~evaluating whether~~analyzing inventory by age using last used and original purchase date and existing sales pipeline for which the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets also include the impact of any lease incentives. Operating leases are included in right-of-use ("ROU") operating lease assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - non-current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.inventory could be used.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do ~~not~~ provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms ~~may~~ include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

~~We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we elected the practical expedient to~~ ~~not~~ separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We also elected the practical expedient to keep leases with an initial term of 12 ~~months or less off of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.~~

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Fuel Tech’s sales of products to customers generally represent single performance obligations. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is ~~not~~ ~~separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore,~~ ~~not~~ distinct. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

~~We generally expense sales commissions on a ratable basis when incurred because the amortization period would have been~~ ~~one~~ ~~year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.~~

~~Fuel Tech’s APC contracts are typically~~ ~~six~~ to ~~eighteen~~ ~~months in length. A typical contract will have~~ ~~three~~ or ~~four~~ critical operational measurements that, when achieved, serve as the basis for us to invoice the customer via progress billings. At a minimum, these measurements will include the generation of engineering drawings, the shipment of equipment and the completion of a system performance test.

As part of most of its contractual APC project agreements, Fuel Tech will agree to customer-specific acceptance criteria that relate to the operational performance of the system that is being sold. These criteria are determined based on modeling that is performed by Fuel Tech personnel, which is based on operational inputs that are provided by the customer. The customer will warrant that these operational inputs are accurate as they are specified in the binding contractual agreement. Further, the customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of the operating condition information; typically all performance guarantees and equipment warranties granted by us are voidable if the operating condition information is inaccurate or is ~~not~~ ~~met.~~

Since control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the single performance obligation. Fuel Tech uses the cost-to-cost input measure of progress for our contracts since it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost input measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include all internal and external engineering costs, equipment charges, inbound and outbound freight expenses, internal and site transfer costs, installation charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, project personnel travel expenses and other direct and indirect expenses specifically identified as project- or product-line related, as appropriate (e.g. test equipment depreciation and certain insurance expenses).

Fuel Tech’s APC product line also includes ancillary revenue for post contractual goods and services. Revenue associated with these activities are recognized at point in time when delivery of goods or completion of the service obligation is performed.

Fuel Tech has installed over 1,200 units with APC technology and normally provides performance guarantees to our customers based on the operating conditions for the project. As part of the project implementation process, we perform system start-up and optimization services that effectively serve as a test of actual project performance. We believe that this test, combined with the accuracy of the modeling that is performed, enables revenue to be recognized prior to the receipt of formal customer acceptance.

Revenues from the sale of chemical products are recognized when control transfers to customer upon shipment or delivery of the product based on the applicable shipping terms. We generally recognize revenue for these arrangements at a point in time based on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services.

On occasion, Fuel Tech will engineer and sell its chemical pumping equipment. These projects are similar in nature to the APC projects described above and for those project where control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the single performance obligation.

For projects containing multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price based on the estimated standalone selling price. The Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company utilizes key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which ~~may~~ ~~include other comparable transactions, pricing considered in negotiating the transaction and the estimated costs. Variable consideration is allocated specifically to~~ ~~one~~ or more performance obligations in a contract when the terms of the variable consideration relate to the satisfaction of the performance obligation and the resulting amounts allocated are consistent with the amounts the Company would expect to receive for the satisfaction of each performance obligation.

The consideration allocated to each performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control is transferred for the related goods or services. For performance obligations which consist of licenses and other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due until the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional.

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by geography, based on the location of the ~~billing addresses of our customers:~~end-user:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the ~~consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In our Air Pollution Control ~~Technology~~(APC) technology segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. For the FUEL CHEM technology segment, deliveries made in the current period but billed in subsequent periods are also considered unbilled receivables (contract assets). These assets are reported on the ~~consolidated balance sheet~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020,, contract assets for APC technology projects were approximately ~~$406~~$1,106, $1,277, and ~~$2,080,~~$2,079, respectively, and ~~$0 and $269, respectively,~~at December 31, 2020, contract assets for the FUEL CHEM technology segment were approximately $269, and are included in accounts receivable on the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were 0 contract assets for the FUEL CHEM technology segment as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

However, the Company will periodically bill in advance of costs incurred before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These liabilities are reported on the ~~consolidated balance sheet~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities were ~~$694~~$578, $390, and $850 at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020,, respectively, and are included in other accrued liabilities on the ~~consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the six month period ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022, were not materially impacted by any other items other than amounts billed and revenue recognized as described previously. Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was ~~$49~~$20 and ~~$157~~$250 for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022, respectively, and ~~$210~~$49 and ~~$458~~$157 for three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021, respectively, which represented primarily revenue from progress towards completion of our ~~Air Pollution Control~~APC technology contracts.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had 10 construction ~~contract~~contracts in progress that ~~was~~were identified as a loss ~~contract and a provision for losses of $11 was recorded in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Footnote~~ 14 ~~for an accrual related to an equipment failure issue with a Customer that requires remedy under the warranty provision of the customer~~ contract. ~~As of~~ ~~December 31, 2020~~, we had 1 construction contract in progress that was identified as a loss contract and a provision for losses in the amount of $176 was recorded in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of ~~Air Pollution Control~~APC technology booked orders for which work has not been performed. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was ~~$4,943.~~$10,547. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately ~~$2,825~~$8,414 of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months with the remaining recognized thereafter.

On January 18, 2019, the Company announced a planned suspension of its ~~Air Pollution Control (“APC”)~~APC business operation in China. This action was part of Fuel Tech’s ongoing operational improvement initiatives designed to prioritize resource allocation, reduce costs, and drive profitability for the Company on a global basis. The transition associated with the suspension of the APC business which has taken place through June 30, ~~2021~~2022 includes staff rationalization and reduction, supplier and partner engagement, and the monetization of certain assets. The remaining transition activities include the execution of the activities to satisfy the requirements for the remaining APC projects in China (with a backlog totaling approximately ~~$12)~~$6) in addition to collection efforts for the remaining accounts receivable.

The following table presents our revenues and net ~~income (loss) which includes the Restructuring charge line item within the Condensed Statements of Operations~~loss for ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 in China as follows:

Total assets primarily consist of cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, prepaid expenses, and other current assets. Total liabilities consist of accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities.

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component were as follows:

Common stock held in treasury totaled ~~963,509~~976,006 and ~~948,347~~963,509 with a cost of ~~$2,234~~$2,251 and ~~$2,182~~$2,234 at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, respectively. These shares were withheld from employees to settle personal tax withholding obligations that arose as a result of restricted stock units that vested in the periods presented.

Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), warrants, and the nil coupon non-redeemable convertible unsecured loan notes. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of the nil coupon non-redeemable convertible unsecured loan notes, RSUs, warrants, and unexercised in-the-money stock options, except in periods of net loss where the effect of these instruments is anti-dilutive. Out-of-money stock options and warrants are excluded from diluted earnings per share because they are ~~anti-dilutive.~~unlikely to be exercised and would be anti-dilutive if they were exercised. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~June 30, 2020~~2021, basic earnings per share is equal to diluted earnings per share because all outstanding stock awards, warrants, and convertible loan notes are considered anti-dilutive during periods of net loss.

The following table sets forth the weighted-average shares used in calculating the earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Fuel Tech had weighted-average outstanding equity awards of 583,000 and 466,000, respectively, and warrants of 2,850,000 in both periods, which were antidilutive for the purpose of the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Fuel Tech had 23,000 and 36,000, respectively, of incremental equity awards that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the inclusion of such would have been anti-dilutive due to a net loss in the period. These equity awards could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future years. Fuel Tech had 160,000 ~~and 553,000~~ weighted average equity awards outstanding at June 30, 2021 ~~and~~ ~~2020,~~ ~~respectively~~ that were not dilutive for the ~~purposes~~purpose of inclusion in the calculation of diluted earnings per ~~share but could potentially become dilutive in future periods.~~share.

Under our stock-based employee compensation plan, referred to as the Fuel Tech, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan), awards may be granted to participants in the form of Non-Qualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, ~~Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”),~~RSUs, Performance Awards, Bonuses or other forms of share-based or non-share-based awards or combinations thereof. Participants in the Incentive Plan may be our directors, officers, employees, consultants, or advisors (except consultants or advisors in capital-raising transactions) as the directors determine are key to the success of our business. There are a maximum of 5,600,676 shares that may be issued or reserved for awards to participants under the Incentive Plan. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, Fuel Tech had ~~2,603,801~~1,809,250 shares available for share-based awards under the ~~2014~~Incentive Plan.

We did not record any excess tax benefits within income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022. and 2021. Given the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, there were no excess tax benefits to record for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022. and 2021. In addition, we account for forfeitures of awards based on an estimate of the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is no longer probable that the employee will fulfill the service condition.

Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general, and administrative costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The components of stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were as follows:

Stock options granted to employees under the Incentive Plans have a 10-year life and they vest as follows: 50% after the second anniversary of the award date, 25% after the third anniversary, and the final 25% after the fourth anniversary of the award date. Fuel Tech calculates stock compensation expense for employee option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, less expected annual forfeitures, and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the four-year service period of the award. Stock options granted to members of our board of directors vest immediately. Stock compensation for these awards is based on the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized in expense immediately.

Fuel Tech uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of employee stock options. The principal variable assumptions utilized in valuing options and the methodology for estimating such model inputs include: (1) risk-free interest rate – an estimate based on the yield of zero–coupon treasury securities with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option; (2) expected volatility – an estimate based on the historical volatility of Fuel Tech’s Common Stock for a period equal to the expected life of the option; and (3) expected life of the option – an estimate based on historical experience including the effect of employee terminations.

Stock option activity for Fuel Tech’s Incentive Plans for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was as follows:

As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, there was 0 unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Incentive Plans.

~~Restricted stock units (RSUs)~~RSUs granted to employees vest over time based on continued service (typically vesting over a period between two ~~and~~to four ~~years). Such~~years), and RSUs granted to directors vest after a one year vesting period based on continued service. Such time-vested RSUs are valued at the date of grant using the intrinsic value method based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the grant date. Compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service ~~period.~~period.

~~In addition to the time vested RSUs, the Company entered into a~~ ~~2021~~ ~~Executive Performance RSU Award Agreement (the~~ ~~“2021~~ ~~Agreement”) with certain officers, including its President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which each~~ ~~2021~~ Participating Executive will have the opportunity to earn a specified amount of restricted stock units (RSUs). The amount of RSUs awarded, if any, will be based on the Company’s achievement of varying levels of operating income before the impact of incentive pay (but including adjustments to reflect the payment of sales commissions) in fiscal ~~2021~~ ~~(“Operating Income”), as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion. Nevertheless,~~ no ~~Participating Executive will be entitled to any such RSUs unless the Company achieves a minimum of $1 million in Operating Income in~~ ~~2021.~~ ~~If awarded, such RSUs will vest in equal amounts (~~~~i.e.,~~~~1/3,1/3~~ ~~and~~ ~~1/3) over~~ ~~three~~ ~~years commencing~~ ~~one~~ year after the grant date based on continued service. Such RSUs are valued at the date of grant using the intrinsic value method based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Currently there is no ~~expense reflected in the financial statements for these awards as the achievement is~~ ~~not~~ ~~considered probable.~~

At June 30, ~~2021~~2022, there is ~~$59~~$916 of unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of ~~0.72 years.~~2.80 years.

A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is as follows:

The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six month period ending June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$75.~~$68.

In addition to the Incentive Plans, Fuel Tech has a Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (Deferred Plan). Under the terms of the Deferred Plan, Directors can elect to defer Directors’ fees for shares of Fuel Tech Common Stock that are issuable at a future date as defined in the agreement. In accordance with ~~ASC~~ Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Fuel Tech accounts for these awards as equity awards as opposed to liability awards. During the six month periods ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, Fuel Tech recorded 0 stock-based compensation expense under the Deferred Plan.

Fuel Tech uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of the warrants. The principal variable assumptions utilized in valuing warrants and the methodology for estimating such model inputs are: (1~~) risk-free interest rate of 0.59%, an estimate based on the yield of zero–coupon treasury securities with a maturity equal to the expected life of the warrant; (~~2~~) expected volatility of 94.66% – an estimate based on the historical volatility of Fuel Tech’s Common Stock for a period equal to the expected life of the warrant; and (~~3~~) expected life of the warrant of~~ ~~five~~ ~~and~~ ~~one~~~~-half years based on the term of the warrant.~~

The calculated fair value allocated to the warrants is $7,337. This amount has been recorded as Additional paid in capital - warrants and is shown net in the Additional paid in capital line of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~The issuance of warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock are summarized as follows:~~

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Investment Collateral Security agreement to use for the sole purpose of issuing standby letters of credit that replaces the former Cash Collateral agreement with BMO Harris. The Investment Collateral Security agreement requires us to pledge our investments as collateral for 150% of the aggregate face amount of outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company pays 250 basis points on the face values of outstanding letters of credit. There are no financial covenants set forth in the Investment Collateral Security agreement. At June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling approximately $1,326 under the Investment Collateral Security agreement. At June 30, 2022, the investments held as collateral totaled $1,990. Fuel Tech is committed to reimbursing the issuing bank for any payments made by the bank under these instruments.

On April 17, 2020, the Company received $1,556 in loan proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program ~~(the “PPP”)~~(PPP), established pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ~~(the “CARES Act”)~~ and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ~~(“SBA”)~~(SBA). The unsecured loan is evidenced by a promissory note of the Company dated April 15, 2020 (~~the “Note”)~~ in the principal amount of $1,556, issued to BMO Harris Bank N.A. ~~(the “Bank”)~~, the lender.

On January 8, 2021, the Company received full forgiveness from the SBA for the entire balance of loan proceeds used to fund its qualified payroll expenses. The Company ~~accounts~~accounted for the PPP Loan as debt in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ~~Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)~~ASC 470, Debt and ~~accrues~~accrued interest in accordance with the interest method under FASB ASC 835-30. When the loan was forgiven, the Company reduced the non-current liability by the amount forgiven and recorded other income in the Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Operations.

We segregate our financial results into 2two reportable segments representing two broad technology segments as follows:

The “Other” classification includes those profit and loss items not allocated to either reportable segment. There are no inter-segment sales that require elimination.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on reviewing gross margin by reportable segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1 in our annual report on Form 10-K). We do not review assets by reportable segment, but rather, in aggregate for the Company as a whole.

Information about reporting segment net sales and gross margin from operations are provided below:

Information concerning our operations by geographic area is provided below. Revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the ~~customer.~~end-user. Assets are those directly associated with operations of the geographic area.

~~We have~~ ~~seven~~ ~~total operating leases which relate to both office space locations and certain office equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 4 months to 4 years. Our leases do~~ ~~not~~ ~~contain any material residual value guarantees or material restricted covenants and we currently have~~ no ~~material sublease arrangements. We have 0 financing leases as defined under ASC~~ ~~842.~~

~~Total operating lease expense for the~~ ~~three~~ ~~and~~ ~~six~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~~~, is as follows:~~

~~The weighted average remaining lease term was 2.67 years as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~~~. The weighted average discount rate was 4.63% as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~.

~~Remaining maturities of our existing lease liabilities as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~were as follows:~~

~~The following is the balance sheet classification of our existing lease liabilities as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~:

Fuel Tech is subject to various claims and contingencies related to, among other things, workers compensation, general liability (including product liability), and lawsuits. The Company records liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.

From time to time we are involved in litigation with respect to matters arising from the ordinary conduct of our business. In the opinion of management, based upon presently available information, either adequate provision for anticipated costs have been accrued or the ultimate anticipated costs will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We do not believe we have any pending loss contingencies that are probable or reasonably possible of having a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~During the~~ ~~third~~ ~~quarter of~~ ~~2020,~~ the Company was notified of an equipment component failure at a foreign customer location. The failure is being remedied under the warranty provision of the contract that is in place with the customer and supplier. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2020,~~ ~~respectively, a charge of $11 and $176 was recorded in the other accrued liabilities line of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~

Fuel Tech issues a standard product warranty with the sale of its products to customers. Our recognition of warranty liability is based primarily on analyses of warranty claims experienced in the preceding years as the nature of our historical product sales for which we offer a warranty are substantially unchanged. This approach provides an aggregate warranty accrual that is historically aligned with actual warranty claims experienced.

There was 0 change in the warranty liability balance included in the other accrued liabilities line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021. The warranty liability balance was $159 at June 30, ~~2021~~ 2022and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company’s effective tax rate is approximately ~~2.6%~~0.7% and 3%2.6% for the six~~-month~~ month periods ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% for the six month ~~period~~periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on our United States, China and Italy deferred tax assets since we cannot anticipate when or if we will have sufficient taxable income to utilize the deferred tax assets in the future. Further, our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state taxes, differences between U.S. and foreign tax rates, foreign losses incurred with no related tax benefit, non-deductible commissions, and non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021. Income generated in the six months ended June 30, 2021attributed to the gain on forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Plan loan is tax exempt.

Fuel Tech had 0 unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021.

~~Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or~~ ~~one~~ ~~level below an operating segment. Fuel Tech has 2 reporting units for goodwill evaluation purposes: the FUEL CHEM~~^® ~~technology segment and the APC technology segment. There is 0 goodwill associated with our APC segment. At both~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2020~~~~, our entire goodwill balance of $2,116 was allocated to the FUEL CHEM~~^® ~~technology segment.~~

Goodwill is allocated to each of our reporting units after considering the nature of the net assets giving rise to the goodwill and how each reporting unit would enjoy the benefits and synergies of the net assets acquired. There were 0 indications of goodwill impairment in the ~~six~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~.

~~Fuel Tech reviews other intangible assets, which include patent assets, for impairment on a recurring basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset~~ ~~may~~ ~~not~~ be recoverable. In the event that impairment indicators exist, a further analysis is performed and if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the estimates of future cash flows are made, however, the actual cash values that could be realized ~~may~~ ~~differ from those that are estimated.~~

~~There were 0 indications of intangible asset impairments for the~~ ~~six~~ ~~month periods ended~~ ~~June 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

We continue to monitor our liquidity needs and in response to our continued losses have taken measures to reduce expenses and restructure operations which we feel are necessary to ensure we maintain sufficient working capital and liquidity to operate the business and invest in our future.

We have experienced continued declines in revenues and recurring losses historically. As a result, we have evaluated our ongoing business needs, and considered the cash requirements of our base business of Air Pollution Control (APC) and Fuel Chem businesses. This evaluation included consideration of the following: a) customer and revenue trends in our APC and Fuel Chem business segments, b) current operating structure and expenditure levels, c) current availability of working capital, and d) support for our research and development initiatives. We continue to monitor our liquidity needs and have taken measures to reduce expenses and restructure operations which we feel are necessary to ensure we maintain sufficient working capital and liquidity to operate the business and invest in our future. We believe our current cash position and net cash flows expected to be generated from operations are adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 ~~months.~~

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company continued to experience a challenging operational environment resulting from the ongoing substitution of gas-fired and renewable energy plants for coal-fired installations and the ongoing impacts of geopolitical events and the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. We continue to invest in new technologies to expand our product offerings into the water pollution control and treatment market. In June, the Board approved a plan to invest excess capital to provide returns on excess cash, while preserving capital and managing liquidity. Our capital resources are sufficient for our immediate and longer-term needs, and we continue to enjoy the services and support of a dedicated workforce. We expect that our cost control efforts will maintain our existing levels of operating expenditures and the diminishing effects of the pandemic should lead to an improved market outlook.

Our FUEL CHEM segment experienced a decline in revenues and segment operating profits in the quarter compared to 2021. FUEL CHEM faced some headwinds in the quarter due to the loss of one customer from permanent plant retirement and the reduction in demand from other customers due to climate and operating and maintenance scheduling.

Our Air Pollution Control (APC) business experienced improvement in the quarter compared to 2021, due to the execution on projects awarded in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022. We are also encouraged by the pace and depth of our business development activities, which reflects an increased focus on global emissions protocols across a variety of fuel sources. Our Consolidated APC backlog at June 30, 2022 was $10,547 and our global sales pipeline is in the $50 -75 million range.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022 the decrease of $129 is primarily the result of decreases in depreciation expense of $58, employee related costs of $40, outside services of $27, and other costs of $64, partially offset by increases in travel costs of $54 and certain administrative overhead expenses for our international operations of $6. For the six month periods ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, SG&A as a percentage of revenues decreased to 50% from 59%.

Research and development expenses for the three and ~~six-month~~six month periods ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$315~~$289 and ~~$730,~~$509, respectively, and for the same periods in ~~2020 was $271~~2021 were $315 and ~~$595~~$730, respectively. The decreases in expenditures were related to reduced employee related costs and timing of execution on current project initiatives. The expenditures in our research and development expenses ~~were~~are focused on new product development efforts in the pursuit of commercial applications for technologies outside of our traditional markets, and in the development and analysis of new technologies that could represent incremental market opportunities. This includes water treatment technologies and more specifically, our DGI™ Dissolved Gas Infusion Systems, an innovative alternative to current aeration technology. This infusion process has a variety of applications in the water and ~~waste water~~wastewater industries, including remediation, treatment, biological activity, and wastewater odor management. DGI technology benefits include reduced energy consumption, installation costs, and operating costs, while improving treatment performance.

Income tax expense for both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 was $9. Income tax expense for both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was ~~$10 and $10, and $31 and $149 respectively.~~$10. The Company is projecting a consolidated effective tax rate of approximately 3%0% for ~~2021~~2022, which is lower than the federal income tax rate of 21%. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% for the three and six ~~months~~ month periods ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on our United States, China and Italy deferred tax assets since we cannot anticipate when or if we will have sufficient taxable income to utilize the deferred tax assets in the future. Further, our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state taxes, differences between U.S. and foreign tax rates, foreign losses incurred with no related tax benefit, non-deductible commissions, and non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses.

Other income, net was $134 for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to Other expense, net of $76 for the same period in 2021. Other income (expense), net changed $210 mainly due to transactional foreign exchange gain/loss.

Other income, net was $124 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1,482 for the same period in 2021. Other income, net decreased $1,358 due to the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program Loan in 2021 consisting of $1,556 of principal and $10 of accrued interest.

We have ~~sustained~~ losses from operations during the six month period ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 totaling ~~$1,846.~~$1,469. Our cash ~~provided~~used by operations for this same period totaled ~~$229.~~ $3,321.

Our cash and cash equivalent balance as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 totaled ~~$36,562 (including~~$33,298, which includes $8,010 of cash equivalents and $1,990 of restricted cash ~~of $368),~~equivalents, and our working capital totaled ~~$37,892.~~$36,953. We have no outstanding debt other than our outstanding letters of credit, under our ~~current credit~~Investment Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the Investment Collateral Security agreement), which does not have any financial ~~covenants as we are currently~~covenants. We expect to continue operating under this arrangement for the foreseeable future.

Operating activities used cash of $3,321 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable balances of $3,245 due to the timing of project milestone billings and the net loss from continuing operations, partially offset by removals of non-cash items from our net loss from continuing operations for depreciation and amortization of $232, increases in accounts payable balances of $812, and a ~~Cash Collateral Security agreement with our lender.~~decrease in other assets of $205.

Operating activities provided $229 of cash for the six month period ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to decreases in our accounts receivable balance of $3,079 and prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets of $681 and the add back of non-cash items from our net loss including depreciation and amortization of $390, partially offset by the add back of a non-cash items from our net loss for the gain on the Paycheck Protection Program Loan forgiveness of $1,556 and decreases in our accounts payable balance of $943 and accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities of $1,021.

Investing activities used cash of $138 and $237 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Investing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily consisted of purchases of equipment.

Financing activities used cash of $17 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash provided of $23,977 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. In 2022, the financing activity was related to the taxes paid on behalf of the equity award participants on the vesting of restricted stock units. In 2021, the Company issued common stock in connection with the private placement offering. Proceeds from the private placement offering were $25,812, partially offset by the costs related to the offering of $1,783.

The effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic have presented significant risks to the Company, not all of which the Company is able to fully evaluate or even foresee at the current time. Although the impact of the pandemic is difficult to quantify, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of our products due to the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our customers’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ financial distress or concern regarding the volatility of global markets. Other directly or indirectly COVID-19 related effects, such as supply chain disruptions and travel restrictions, have been impacting operations and financial performance to varying degrees. We continue to monitor our liquidity needs and in response to our ~~continued~~recent periods of declines in revenue and net losses have taken measures to reduce expenses and restructure operations which we feel are necessary to ensure we maintain sufficient working capital and liquidity to operate the business and invest in our future. We have evaluated our ongoing business needs and considered the cash requirements of our base business of Air Pollution Control and FUEL CHEM, as well as our efforts to wind-down our APC operations in China. This evaluation included consideration of the following: a) customer and revenue trends in our APC and FUEL CHEM business segments, b) current operating structure and expenditure levels, and c) the costs of winding down our APC operations in China as well as other research and development initiatives. Based on this analysis, management believes that currently we have sufficient cash and working capital to operate our base APC and FUEL CHEM businesses. We believe our current cash position and net cash flows expected to be generated from operations are adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 months.

We expect additional capital expenditures in 2022 for maintenance of field equipment, computer and systems, and general office equipment. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with cash from operations or cash on hand.

In June 2022, the Board of Directors approved an investment plan that would hold $10,000 in funds at BMO Harris Bank (BMO Harris) to be invested in held-to-maturity debt securities of United States (US) Treasuries, including Notes, Bonds, and Bills, or US Government Agency securities. The funds would be held in money market funds until they are invested in those securities. The investments would be structured to create a maturity “ladder” where the proceeds from maturities are re-invested to maintain a balance of short- and long-term investments based on the expected business needs. Maturities will be between three and thirty-six months. This strategy allows the Company to provide returns on excess cash, while managing liquidity and minimizing exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

On June ~~19, 2019,~~30, 2022, the Company entered into ~~a Cash~~the Investment Collateral Security agreement ~~with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the BMO Harris agreement)~~ to use for the sole purpose of issuing standby letters of ~~credit.~~credit, which replaces the Cash Collateral Security agreement with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the Former Collateral agreement). The ~~BMO Harris~~Investment Collateral Security agreement requires us to pledge our investments as ~~cash~~ collateral ~~105%~~for 150% of the aggregate face amount of outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company pays 250 basis points on the face values of outstanding letters of credit. There are no financial covenants set forth in the ~~BMO Harris~~Investment Collateral Security agreement. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling approximately ~~$351~~$1,326 under the ~~BMO Harris~~Investment Collateral Security agreement. ~~As of~~At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the ~~Company~~investments held ~~$368 in a separate restricted use designated BMO Harris Bank N.A. deposit account.~~as collateral totaled $1,990. Fuel Tech is committed to reimbursing the issuing bank for any payments made by the bank under these instruments.

On June 19, 2019, the Company entered into the Former Collateral agreement to use for the sole purpose of issuing standby letters of credit. The Former Collateral agreement requires us to pledge as cash collateral 105% of the aggregate face amount of outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company paid 250 basis points on the face values of outstanding letters of credit. There were no financial covenants set forth in the Former Collateral agreement. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding standby letters of credit under the Former Collateral agreement.

On ~~April 15,~~February 11, 2021, Fuel Tech entered into a securities purchase agreement to issue and sell, in a private placement, 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,500,000 warrants exercisable for a total of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.10 per Warrant Share, at a purchase price of $5.1625 per Share and associated warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were $25,812, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of $1,783.

In 2020, the Company received $1,556 in loan proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program ~~(the “PPP”)~~, established pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ~~(the “CARES Act”)~~ and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ~~(“SBA”)~~(SBA). On January 8, 2021 the Company received full forgiveness from the SBA for the entire balance of loan proceeds used to fund its qualified payroll expenses. When the loan was forgiven, the Company reduced the non-current liability by the amount forgiven and recorded other income in the ~~condensed consolidated statement~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~operations.~~Operations.

Fuel Tech issues a standard product warranty with the sale of its products to customers as discussed in Note ~~14.~~13. There was no change in the warranty liability balance during the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and reflect Fuel Tech’s current expectations regarding future growth, results of operations, cash flows, performance and business prospects, and opportunities, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Fuel Tech has tried to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “will,” and similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to Fuel Tech and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Fuel Tech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors,” which could cause Fuel Tech’s actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance and business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. Fuel Tech undertakes no obligation to update such factors or to publicly announce the results of any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events, developments, or changed circumstances or for any other reason. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Fuel Tech’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fuel Tech’s earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts nor into foreign currency option contracts to manage this risk due to the immaterial nature of the transactions involved.

Fuel Tech is also exposed to changes in interest rates primarily due to its debt facility (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements). A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not have a materially adverse effect on interest expense during the upcoming year ended December 31, 2021.

Fuel Tech maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure (a) that information required to be disclosed in Fuel Tech’s filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Fuel Tech’s Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d -15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, and they have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

We are from time to time involved in litigation incidental to our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation in which we believe an adverse outcome would have a material effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations, or prospects.

The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 have not materially changed.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
