1.	Organization and Basis of Presentation

Ecology and Environment Inc., (“EEI”) was incorporated in 1970 as a global broad-based environmental consulting firm whose underlying philosophy is to provide professional services worldwide so that sustainable economic and human development may proceed with acceptable impact on the environment. During the six months ended January 26, 2019, EEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included six active wholly-owned and majority-owned operating subsidiaries located in four countries (the United States of America (the “U.S.”), Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador), and one majority-owned equity investment in Chile. The Company’s staff is comprised of individuals representing numerous scientific, engineering, health, and social disciplines working together in multidisciplinary teams to provide innovative environmental solutions. The majority of employees hold bachelor’s and/or advanced degrees in such areas as chemical, civil, mechanical, sanitary, soil, structural and transportation engineering, biology, geology, hydrogeology, ecology, urban and regional planning and oceanography. The Company’s client list includes governments, industries, multinational corporations, organizations, and private companies.

The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including a description of significant accounting policies, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018 filed with the SEC (the “2018 Annual Report”). Other than new or revised accounting policies resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements described in Note 3 of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies followed by the Company for preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in the 2018 Annual Report were also followed for this quarterly report. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended January 26, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2019.
