ENGLOBAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ENGlobal Corporation (which may be referred to as “ENGlobal,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements do not include all of the information or note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019, included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited for the three month periods ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, and in the case of the condensed balance sheet as of December 28, 2019 have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods presented.
 
The Company has assessed subsequent events through the date of filing of these condensed financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.
 
We had no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented; therefore, no other components of comprehensive income are presented.
 
Each of our quarters is comprised of 13 weeks.
 
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
Revenue Recognition – Our revenue is comprised of engineering, procurement and construction management services and sales of fabricated systems and integrated control systems that we design and assemble. The majority of our services are provided under time-and-material contracts. Some time-and-material contracts may have limits. Revenue is not recognized over these limits until authorization by the client has been received.
 
A majority of sales of fabrication and assembled systems are under fixed-price contracts. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
 
We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. Our customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to deliver products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or service to be provided, which measures the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. We generally use the cost-to-cost method on the labor portion of a project for revenue recognition to measure progress of our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we consume the materials on the contracts. Therefore, revenues and estimated profits are recorded proportionally as labor costs are incurred.

Under the typical payment terms of our fixed-price contracts, the customer pays us progress payments. These progress payments are based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. The customer may retain a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as a contract asset on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer should we fail to adequately complete some or all of our obligations under the contract. For some contracts we may receive advance payments from the customer. We record a liability for these advance payments in contract liabilities on the balance sheet. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demand that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.
 
To determine proper revenue recognition for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single performance obligation or whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For most of our contracts, we provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, we may provide distinct goods or services within a contract in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation and use the expected cost plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to variables and requires significant judgment. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
  
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
 
We have a standard, monthly process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management’s judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule, technical requirements, and other contractual requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation, execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer and overhead cost rates, among other variables.
 
Based on this analysis, any adjustments to revenue, operating costs and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive performance and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations or realizing related opportunities. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss becomes known. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net revenue, operating costs and the related impact to operating income are recognized monthly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations.

NOTE 5 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Our segments are strategic business units that offer different services and products and therefore require different marketing and management strategies. The operating performance of our segments is regularly reviewed with operational leaders in charge of our engineering offices and automation offices of these segments, the chief executive officer (“CEO”), the chief financial officer (“CFO”) and others. This group represents the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for ENGlobal.
 
The Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (“EPCM”) segment provides services relating to the development, management and execution of projects requiring professional engineering and related project services primarily to the energy industry throughout the United States. The Automation segment provides services related to the design, integration and implementation of advanced automation, information technology, process distributed control systems, analyzer systems, and electrical projects primarily to the upstream and downstream sectors of the energy industry throughout the United States. The Automation segment includes the government services group, which provides engineering, design, installation and operation and maintenance of various government, public sector and international facilities and the fabrication operation.

NOTE 6 – FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740-270 we estimate an annual effective tax rate based on year-to-date operating results and our projection of operating results for the remainder of the year. We apply this annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date operating results. If our actual results differ from the estimated annual projection, our estimated annual effective tax rate can change affecting the tax expense for successive interim results as well as the estimated annual tax expense results. Certain states are not included in the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate because the underlying basis for the tax is related to revenues and not taxable income. Amounts for Texas margin taxes are reported as income tax expense.

The Company applies a more likely than not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The FASB guidance for uncertain tax positions only allows the recognition of those tax benefits, based on their technical merits that are greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements. U.S. federal tax returns prior to 2016 and Texas margins tax returns prior to 2016 are closed. Generally, the applicable statues of limitations are three to four years from their filings.
 
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date.  The CARES Act includes changes to the tax provisions that benefit business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in 2017. The tax relief measures for businesses include a five-year net operating loss carryback, suspension of annual deduction limitation of 80% of taxable income from net operating losses generated in a tax year beginning after December 31, 2017, changes in the deductibility of interest, acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit refunds, payroll tax relief, and a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also provides other non-tax benefits to assist those impacted by the pandemic. The Company evaluated the impact of the CARES Act and determined that there was no significant impact to the income tax provision for the quarter.
 
The Company recorded income tax expense of $22 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to income tax expense of $20 thousand for the three months ended March 30, 2019.
 
The effective income tax rate for the three ended March 28, 2020 was 2.15% as compared to (2.06)% for the three months ended March 30, 2019. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the valuation allowances related to the unrealized deferred tax asset generated by the current year benefit.
 
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
From time to time, ENGlobal or one or more of its subsidiaries is involved in various legal proceedings or is subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business alleging, among other things, claims of breach of contract or negligence in connection with the performance or delivery of goods and/or services. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
We carry a broad range of insurance coverage, including general and business automobile liability, commercial property, professional errors and omissions, workers’ compensation insurance, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and a general umbrella policy, all with standard self-insured retentions/deductibles. We also provide health insurance to our employees (including vision and dental) which is partially self-funded for these claims. Provisions for expected future payments are accrued based on our experience, and specific stop loss levels provide protection for the Company. We believe we have adequate reserves for the self-funded portion of our insurance policies. We are not aware of any material litigation or claims that are not covered by these policies or which are likely to materially exceed the Company’s insurance limits.
 
NOTE 8 – LEASES
 
The Company leases land, office space and equipment. Arrangements are assessed at inception to determine if a lease exists and, with the adoption of ASC 842, “Leases,” right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the inception of a lease to calculate the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception for all asset classes, excluding lease liabilities from the balance sheet and recognizing the lease payments in the period they are incurred.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as other written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by the Company and its representatives in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press releases, conferences or otherwise, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This information includes, without limitation, statements concerning the Company’s future financial position and results of operations, planned capital expenditures, business strategy and other plans for future operations, the future mix of revenues and business, customer retention, project reversals, commitments and contingent liabilities, future demand and industry conditions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Generally, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may” and similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Actual results could differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the specific risk factors identified under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.
 
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.
 
Overview
 
ENGlobal Corporation (which may be referred to as “ENGlobal,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), incorporated in the State of Nevada in June 1994, is a leading provider of engineered modular solutions to the energy industry. We deliver these solutions to our clients by combining our vertically integrated engineering and professional project execution services with our automation and systems integration expertise and mechanical fabrication capabilities. We believe our vertically integrated strategy allows us to differentiate our company from most of our competitors as a full service provider, thereby reducing our clients’ dependency on and coordination of multiple vendors and improving control over their project schedules. Our strategy and positioning has also allowed the Company to pursue larger scopes of work centered around many different types of modularized engineered systems.
 
We have identified modular project execution offerings as the opportunity to which our capabilities are best applied, focused our business development team on communicating these offerings to specific clients and realigned our internal reporting structure to better facilitate complete modular project execution. We have identified seven strategic market initiatives where we have a history of delivering project solutions and can provide complete project execution that includes engineering, design, fabrication and integration of automated control systems as a complete packaged solution for our clients, preferably in a modular form. This “design it once – build it many times” concept has many merits including a single vendor interface, better control of costs, better control of schedule and lower safety risk. These seven targeted market initiatives include: (1) natural gas and crude oil production systems; (2) synthesis gas processing; (3) control systems implementation; (4) continuous emission monitoring systems; (5) pipeline pump, compression, metering, loading and blending systems; (6) adding customer relationships in specific markets for automation; and (7) expanding government services beyond our heritage contracts. We have identified specific individuals within the Company to lead the efforts for each market initiative - “a champion” - while coordinating with the other sales leaders.
 
We continue to be mindful of our overhead structure. While we have made investments in key individuals, product developments and new facilities and equipment, which have all negatively impacted our selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) we have been able to offset those increases with decreases in other areas and, overall, our SG&A costs have continued to decrease. We recognize that the level of our SG&A is greater than it could be for a company our size; however, we have maintained our overhead structure in anticipation of higher revenue levels.
 
On April 18, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors had initiated a review of strategic alternatives, which could include strategic mergers, reverse mergers, the issuance or buyback of public shares, or the purchase or sale of specific assets, in addition to other potential actions aimed at increasing shareholder value. The Company does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to its review unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate. There can be no assurance that the Board’s strategic review will result in any transaction, or any assurance as to its outcome or timing.

COVID-19 Update
 
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was severe enough to be characterized as a pandemic. The continued worldwide spread of COVID-19, in conjunction with related government and other preventative measures taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, have caused severe disruptions in the worldwide economy, including the global demand for oil and natural gas. In response, companies within the energy industry (including our customers) have announced capital spending cuts which, in turn, may result in a decrease in new project awards or adjustments, reductions, suspensions, cancellations or payment defaults with respect to existing project awards. At this time, we believe our backlog is sufficient to last for the balance of this year, and thus far have only experienced one project cancellation, which had $0.5 million in revenue for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and one postponed project with a contract value of $0.5 million. The extent to which these events may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The duration and intensity of these impacts and resulting disruption to our business, financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and we will continue to monitor the situation and assess the operational and financial impact on our business.
 
In response to the continued spread of COVID-19 in the United States, federal, state and local governments have imposed various restrictions designed to slow the pace of the pandemic, including stay at home mandates, including in cities where we have offices and employees. We are adhering to the stay at home mandates and while most of our employees can telecommute, some cannot. Our challenge is to keep our employees as productive as possible while not being located in their normal workplace. We are seeking relief for employees impacted by COVID-19 in light of the recently issued Families First Coronavirus Response Act in order to minimize the impact to both our employees and our business. We also expect to utilize some of the tax payment deferral opportunities and federal refund acceleration opportunities provided by the IRS and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES Act”) Act. Further, on April 13, 2020, we obtained a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act. The loan, which is a significant cash injection for us, was necessary to support our ongoing operations as we navigate the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we continue to monitor the situation and assess the operational and financial impact on our business, we may determine to take further actions in response.
 
Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, the impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and difficult to predict. If COVID–19 continues to spread or if the response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For additional information, see Part II. Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
 
Critical Accounting Policies Update
 
A summary of our critical accounting policies is described under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are further disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Results of Operations
 
In the course of providing our time-and-material services, we routinely provide materials and equipment and may provide construction management services on a subcontractor basis. Generally, these materials, equipment and subcontractor costs are passed through to our clients and reimbursed, along with handling fees, which in general are at margins lower than those of our normal core business. In accordance with industry practice and generally accepted accounting principles, all such costs and fees are included in revenue. The material purchases and the use of subcontractor services can vary significantly from project to project; therefore, changes in revenue and gross profit, SG&A expense and operating income as a percentage of revenue may not be indicative of the Company’s core business trends.
 
Segment operating SG&A expense includes management and staff compensation, office costs such as rents and utilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, and other expenses generally unrelated to specific client contracts, but directly related to the support of a segment’s operations. Corporate SG&A expenses include finance, accounting, human resources, business development, legal and information technology which are unrelated to specific projects but which are incurred to support the company’s activities.

Revenue – Revenue increased $7.1 million to $19.3 million from $12.2 million, or an increase of 58.3%, for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019. Revenue from the EPCM segment decreased $0.5 million to $5.1 million from $5.6 million, or a decrease of 9.1%, for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the completion of several large projects in 2019. Revenue from the Automation segment increased $7.6 million to $14.1 million from $6.5 million, or an increase of 116.5%, for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to two projects that were awarded in 2019 and have increased in scope.
 
Gross Profit – Gross profit margin increased 5.9% to 16.9% from 11.0% for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019. Gross profit for the EPCM segment decreased $0.4 million to $0.3 million from $0.7 million and its gross profit margin decreased 6.5% to 5.4% from 11.9% for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily attributable to the cost associated with underutilized staffing at one of our locations as projects were completed without subsequent renewals during the first quarter of 2020. Gross profit margin for the Automation segment increased 10.9% to 21.1% from 10.2% for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019, primarily due to increased utilization of personnel and the projects awards which began in 2019 and have continued into 2020.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expense – SG&A expenses decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to three months ended March 30, 2019 primarily due to the reduction of both salaries and facilities costs by $0.1 million.
 
Other Income (Expense), Net – Other income, net of expense, decreased $14 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2019 primarily due to rental income received in 2019 with no comparable occurrence in 2020.
 
Interest Expense, net – Interest expense is incurred primarily in connection with our insurance financing and our finance leases. Our interest expense increased to $5 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 from $3 thousand for the three months ended March 30, 2019.
 
Tax Expense – We recorded income tax expense of $22 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 as compared to income tax expense of $20 thousand for the three months ended March 30, 2019.
 
Net Income (Loss) – Net income for the three months ended March 28, 2020 was $1.1 million, or a $2.1 million increase from a net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2019, primarily as a result of our increase in revenue and higher margin projects from our Automation segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
The Company defines liquidity as its ability to pay its liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet monetary contractual obligations. As we are currently operating without a credit facility, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and internally generated funds. We had cash of approximately $6.8 million at March 28, 2020 and $8.3 million at December 28, 2019. Our working capital as of March 28, 2020 was $11.9 million versus $11.3 million as of December 28, 2019. On April 13, 2020, we obtained a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act. The loan, which is a significant cash injection for us, was necessary to support our ongoing operations as we navigate the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe our cash on hand, internally generated funds, the borrowings under the loan and other working capital will be sufficient to fund our current operations and expected growth for the next twelve months. 
 
Cash and the availability of cash could be materially restricted if (1) outstanding invoices billed are not collected or are not collected in a timely manner, (2) circumstances prevent the timely internal processing of invoices, (3) we lose one or more of our major customers or our major customers significantly reduce the amount of work requested from us, (4) we are unable to win new projects that we can perform on a profitable basis, (5) we are awarded projects that require a significant amount of cash to fund other components of working capital or (6) we are unable to reverse our use of cash to fund losses. If any such event occurs, we would be forced to consider alternative financing options.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Operating activities used $1.5 million of cash for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and generated $1.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 30, 2019. The primary drivers of our cash used by operations for the three months ended March 28, 2020 were an increase in contract assets net of contract liabilities of $3.7 million and $0.2 million of cash used by an increase in other components of working capital, partially offset by cash provided by a decrease in trade receivables of $0.7 million, a decrease in other current assets of $0.2 million, an increase in trade payables of $0.4 million, and our operating income before non-cash expenses of $1.1 million.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Investing activities used cash of $34 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 primarily for the purchase of property and equipment.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Financing activities used cash of $20 thousand for the three months ended March 28, 2020 primarily for the interest incurred on our finance leases. Financing activities used cash of $61 thousand for the three months ended March 30, 2019 primarily for the purchase of treasury stock, which used $60 thousand.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a registrant designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include processes to accumulate and evaluate relevant information and communicate such information to a registrant’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2020, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 28, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 28, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, ENGlobal or one or more of its subsidiaries may be involved in various legal proceedings or may be subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business alleging, among other things, claims of breach of contract or negligence in connection with the performance or delivery of goods and/or services. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, which outline factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and the additional risk factors below. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions or operating results.

The COVID–19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct transactions with us. The spread of the COVID–19 coronavirus has caused severe disruptions in the worldwide economy, including the global demand for oil and natural gas. In response, companies within the energy industry (including our customers) have announced capital spending cuts which, in turn, may result in a decrease in new project awards or adjustments, reductions, suspensions, cancellations or payment defaults with respect to existing project awards. The continued spread of COVID–19 may result in a significant decrease in business and/or cause our customers to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us, particularly in the event of a spread of COVID–19 in our market areas. The continued spread of COVID–19 could also negatively impact the availability of our key personnel necessary to conduct our business as well as the business and operations of third party service providers who perform critical services for our business. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, the impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and difficult to predict. If COVID–19 continues to spread or if the response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenue or earnings. As of March 28, 2020, our backlog was approximately $53 million. At this time, we believe our backlog is sufficient to last for the balance of this year and expect the majority of the backlog to be completed by 2021.Thus far we have only experienced one project cancellation which had $0.5 million in revenue for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and one postponed project with a contract value of $0.5 million. We cannot assure investors that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. Projects currently in our backlog may be canceled or may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time prior to project execution and, once project execution begins, it may occur unevenly over the current and multiple future periods. In addition, project terminations, suspensions or reductions in scope occur from time to time with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog, reducing the revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts reflected in our backlog. Future project cancellations and scope adjustments could further reduce the dollar amount of our backlog in addition to the revenue and profits that we actually earn. The potential for project cancellations, terminations, suspensions or reductions in scope and adjustments to our backlog are exacerbated by economic conditions, particularly in the energy industry which is experiencing a significant decline in oil prices since the beginning of 2020 due to concerns about the COVID–19 coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the worldwide economy and global demand for oil and the inability of members of OPEC and other producing countries to adequately address the reduced demand. We are unable to predict when market conditions may improve and worsening overall market conditions could result in reductions to our backlog.
 
If we are unable to collect our receivables, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our clients of the amounts they owe us for work performed and materials supplied. In the ordinary course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers. We may also agree to allow our customers to defer payment on projects until certain milestones have been met or until the projects are substantially completed, and customers typically withhold some portion of amounts due to us as retainage. As of March 28, 2020 we had four projects that had $0.6 million in retainage. We bear the risk that our clients will pay us late or not at all. Though we evaluate and attempt to monitor our clients’ financial condition, there is no guarantee that we will accurately assess their creditworthiness. To the extent the credit quality of our clients deteriorates or our clients seek bankruptcy protection, our ability to collect receivables and our results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if our clients are credit-worthy, they may delay payments in an effort to manage their cash flow. Financial difficulties or business failure experienced by one or more of our major customers has had and could, in the future, continue to have a material adverse effect on both our ability to collect receivables and our results of operations.
