Under the new contract, ENGlobal will immediately begin the front-end engineering of Phase 1 through its Baton Rouge engineering office and staffing levels are expected to peak at over 25 people. Completion of Phase 1 is expected sometime during the second quarter, 2005 with projected revenues of approximately $2 million. All phases, which are expected to be executed over a several year period, represent a potential contract value of over $10 million. With the successful completion of Phase 1, the contract may be amended for each subsequent phase based on performance. Mike Burrow, chairman and CEO of ENGlobal, stated, "This project represents a major milestone in our longstanding plan to rebuild our Baton Rouge office to higher levels than before the current downturn in Petrochemicals. A long-term contract, such as this, provides a base load of work which gives management the confidence to move forward with the aggressive execution of its business plan. Due to market conditions, some excellent talent is available in Baton Rouge today. While we have sufficient manpower to perform this work, this contract will allow us to expand our staff, which, in turn, increases our ability to better serve our customers in Baton Rouge.
