compensation for employees is measured at the grant date based on the value
of the awards and is recognized as expense over the requisite service
period (usually a vesting period). The Company selected the modified
prospective method of adoption described in SFAS No. 123(R). The fair
values of awards recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) are determined based on
the vested portion of the awards; however, the total compensation expense
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company maintained the Plan, under which the Company had the ability to

options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards and stock
appreciation rights to employees including non-employee directors.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards
In June 2008, the Company granted compensation to each of its three
non-employee directors via restricted stock awards. It was the Company's
intention that such awards be issued pursuant to the Plan. It was later
determined that the grants had been made after the Plan's expiration.
Therefore, the grants of restricted stock were rescinded.
On August 8, 2008, the Company replaced the grants of restricted stock with grants of
non-Planissued restricted stock units equivalent to 6,420
shares of common stock.
The awardstock to each of its three non-employee directors. These
restricted stock units, isissued outside of the Option Plan, were intended to
compensate and retain the directors over the term of the award.one-year service period commencing
July 1, 2008. The fair value of the awardawards was $93,411 per director based on the
market price of $14.55 per share of the Company's stock on the date the award
was granted. Upon vesting, the units will beare convertible into cash based on the fair
value of the Company's shares at the vesting date or, if shareholder approval is
obtained, the Company may elect to settle the Units either in cash or in common
stock. The units will vest in equal quarterly installments beginning on September 30,
2008, so long as the grantee continues to serve as an independent director of
the Company. Recognition of compensation expense related to the restricted stock
awards will commenceunits commenced in the third quarter of 2008. 7At the end of the fourth quarter
2008, the compensation value of the vested units was measured again and the
amount to be settled in cash was classified as a liability. The units that
vested in 2008 were settled on March 15, 2009. At the end of the first quarter
2009, the compensation value of the outstanding vested units was measured again
and the amount to be settled in cash was classified as a liability. The
remaining units are required to be settled by March 15, 2010.

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
ENGlobal has four reportable segments: Engineering, Construction,
Automation and Land. Our segments are strategic business units that offer
different services and products and therefore require different marketing
and management strategies. Our segments have grown through strategic
acquisitions, which have also served to augment management expertise.
The Engineering segment provides consulting services relating to the
development, management and execution of projects requiring professional
engineering and related project services. Services provided by the
Engineering segment include feasibility studies, engineering, design,
procurement, and construction management. The Construction segment provides
construction management personnel and services in the areas of inspection,
mechanical integrity, vendor and turnaround surveillance, field support,
construction, quality assurance and plant asset management. The Automation
segment provides services related to the design, fabrication, and
implementation of process distributed control and analyzer systems,
advanced automation, and information technology projects. The Land segment
provides land management, right-of-way, environmental compliance, and
governmental regulatory compliance services primarily to pipeline, utility
and telecom companies and other owner/operators of infrastructure
facilities throughout the United States and Canada.
The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significantcritical accounting policies.policies referenced in Note
2 above. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from
operations before interest, income taxes and other income or loss, but
after selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the
reportable segments. Transactions between reportable segments are at market
rates comparable to terms available from unrelated parties.

NOTE 9 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain of its executive
officers and certain other officers. Such agreements provide for minimum salary
levels. IfGenerally, if the Company terminates the employment of the employee
for any reason other than (1) for cause, as defined in the employment
agreement, (2) voluntary resignation, or (3) the employee's death, the
Company is obligated to provide a severance benefit equal up to sixtwelve
months of the employee's salary, and, at its option, an additional six
months at 50% to 100% of the employee's salary in exchange for an extension
of the employee's agreement not to engage in certain competitive
activities. These agreements are renewable for one year at the Company's
option.
Long-term Note Receivable
In the first quarter of 2007, ENGlobal Engineering, Inc. ("EEI") and South
Louisiana Ethanol, LLC ("SLE") executed an agreement for engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) services relating to the retro-fit of an
ethanol plant in southern Louisiana. In October 2007, SLE executed a
promissory note, or "Hand Note," payable to the Company and having a
principal balance of approximately $12.3 million, constituting amounts then
due to the Company for its work in connection with the project. The history
of the SLE project (the "SLE Project") is described in Note 129 to the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the "Third Quarter 10-Q")March 31, 2008, and is
discussed further in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007.2007, under Litigation, below, and in Part II, "Item 1 -
Legal Proceedings" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
11
Accounts Receivable
On March 13, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the "letter
agreement") with a significant client resolving the payment of presently
due and past due Accounts Receivable invoices in the amount of $6.8
million. The principle terms of the letter agreement include the recovery
of interest in monthly payments beginning in March 2009 and ending with
final payment due in December 2009. Included in the $6.8 million payment
plan is $4.6 million in sub-contractor obligations which are a part of our
Accounts Payable balances and are scheduled to be paid on a pro-rata basis
similar to the terms of the letter agreement.
Litigation Claims
Due to past due payments on Accounts Receivable invoices for services
provided to Bigler, LP ("Bigler") in the amount of $3,169,000, the Company
exercised its statutory right to file a materialman's and mechanic's lien.
In response, Bigler filed a petition in Harris County Court asking for
relief claiming lack of delivery of notice with respect to the Lien, and
requesting declaratory relief from the Court clearing title of the lien,
and for unspecified monetary damages for breach of contract. ENGlobal
Engineering filed its answer and counterclaim for collection of the fees
due, and for foreclosure on the real property and improvements for which
the services were performed on April 27, 2009. We believe the invoices are
collectible.
In 2007, ENGlobal Engineering, Inc. ("EEI") entered into an Engineering,
Procurement & Construction agreement with South Louisiana Ethanol, LLC
("SLE") to refurbish and upgrade SLE's ethanol facility in Belle Chase, LA.
EEI commenced work in March 2007 but SLE shut down the project in September
2007 after failing to secure permanent financing for the project. Due to
SLE's continued failure to obtain permanent financing, on May 30, 2008, the
Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Louisiana, Cause Number 08-3601, seeking damages of $15.8
million and to foreclose on the acquired mechanics liens of its
subcontractors. An independent appraisal, dated March 17, 2008, from the
SLE's bridge lending bank's appraiser, Revpro and Associates, indicated a
fair market value of SLE's assets of $35.8 million, an orderly liquidation
value of $25.3 million, and a forced liquidation value of $20.0 million.
While the Company believes that in the event the collateral is liquidated,
SLE's obligations to the Company would be paid in full pursuant to the
Collateral Mortgage in favor of the Company, collectability is not assured
at this time. However, at this time the Company believes that the ultimate
disposition of the SLE collateral will not materially adversely affect our
liquidity or overall financial position.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business alleging, among other things,
breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of
professional services, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with
certainty. As of the date of this filing, we are party to several legal
proceedings that we believe have been reserved for or are covered by
insurance, or that, if determined adversely to us individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations or financial position.
DueInsurance
The Company carries 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. The Company is not aware
of any claims in excess of insurance recoveries. ENGlobal is partially
self-funded for health insurance claims. Provisions for expected future
payments are accrued based on the Company's experience.

and business automobile liability, commercial property, professional errors

policy. The Company is not aware of any claims in excess of insurance
recoveries. ENGlobal is partially self-funded for health insurance claims.
Provisions for expected future payments are accrued based on the Company's

Building Lease Commitment
As discussed in Note 20 of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February
28, 2008, ENGlobal entered into a lease agreement with a third party
relating to the construction of a new facility in Beaumont, Texas.
Commencement of the lease agreement and construction of the facility was
contingent on the sale of property to the developer/lessor. During May
2008, the Company completed the sale of property to the developer/lessor.
Construction has commenced on the new facility and is expected to continue
throughout 2008.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Sale of Office Building in Baton Rouge
In June 2007, we sold an office building we owned in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. At the time of the sale, we accepted a note receivable from the
buyer for approximately $1.4 million. On July 24, 2008, the buyer paid the
note in full. The sale of the building was described in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
SemCrude, L.P.
We have potential exposure to SemCrude, L.P. ("SemCrude"), an affiliate of
SemGroup, L.P. ("SemGroup"), related to services provided by our
Engineering and Construction segments to SemCrude in connection with the
construction of the White Cliffs Pipeline. As of June 30, 2008, on a
combined basis our Engineering and Construction segments had received
payments from SemCrude totaling approximately $2.7 million. On July 22,
2008, SemGroup and several of its affiliates, including SemCrude (Case
Number 08-11525), filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware.
As of June 30, 2008, combined Engineering and Construction segment
receivables attributable to SemCrude totaled approximately $2.0 million. As
of July 25, 2008, our exposure was approximately $2.8 million. Because
SemCrude's account with ENGlobal had historically been paid on a materially
current basis, and because it was materially current as of June 30, 2008,
we did not reflect any portion of SemCrude's account in either our
Engineering segment's or our Construction segment's allowance for doubtful
accounts. On July 28, 2008, ENGlobal was notified that the White Cliffs
Pipeline project would continue under a third-party manager and that it was
anticipated that SemCrude's accounts would be kept current. On August 1,
and August 7, 2008, the Company received payments of approximately $941,000
and $339,000, respectively, each of which brought SemCrude's account
materially current as of those dates. We have continued performing work on
this project.
We are currently unable to quantify what amount of SemCrude's balance, if
any, may be uncollectible. However, we believe that the ultimate
disposition of SemCrude's asset investment in the White Cliffs Pipeline
project will not materially adversely affect our liquidity or overall
financial position.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
We recorded net income of $6.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $3.9 million,
or $0.14 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.
Cumulatively, we recorded net income of $10.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted
share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of
$7.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in
2007.
The Company recognizes service revenue as soon as the services are
performed. The majority of the Company's service revenue has historically
been provided through cost-plus contracts, whereas a majority of our
fabrication and turnkey EPC projects revenue is earned on fixed-price
contracts.
Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recorded primarily using the
percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method. Under this method, revenue
on long-term contracts is recognized in the ratio that contract costs
incurred bear to total estimated contract costs. Revenue and gross margin
on fixed-price contracts are subject to revision throughout the lives of
the contracts and any required adjustments are made in the period in which
the revisions become known. Losses on contracts are recorded in full as
they are identified.
In the course of providing our services, we routinely provide engineering,
materials, and equipment and may provide construction services on a direct
hire or subcontractor basis. Generally, the materials, equipment and
subcontractor costs are passed through to our clients and reimbursed, along
with fees, which in total 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 reported
revenue. The use of subcontractor services can change significantly from
project to project; therefore, changes in revenue and gross profit, SG&A
expense and operating income as a percent of revenue may not be indicative
of the Company's core business trends.
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 contracts, but directly
related to the support of a segment's operations.
All other SG&A expense is comprised primarily of business development
costs, as well as costs related to the executive, investor
relations/governance, finance, accounting, safety, human resources, project
controls, legal and information technology departments and other costs
generally unrelated to specific projects, but which are incurred to support
corporate activities and initiatives.
Industry Overview:
Given the fact that global demand for oil products has tightened the supply
of both crude oil as well as refined products, we believe each of
ENGlobal's business segments is well positioned within the industry given
increased spending on energy infrastructure in North America.
Many ENGlobal offices have benefited from significant capital projects in
the downstream refinery market, primarily related to increasing capacity,
the utilization of heavy or sour crude oil, and rebuilding facilities
damaged by accidents. While many existing projects of this type are
underway, it is possible that some refiners will defer significant new
spending given a recent tightening of refining margins. The Company expects
a continuation of refining projects that are compliance driven, such as EPA
environmental initiatives and OSHA safety related projects that can
originate as a result of increased audits of U.S.-based refineries. The
Company is also currently seeing good opportunities to upgrade obsolete
automation and control systems at existing refineries, and also to plan and
manage turnaround projects.
The downstream petrochemical industry has historically been a good source
of projects for ENGlobal. While not currently as robust as the refining
market, we have seen a recent increase in both maintenance and capital
spending after several years of relative inactivity. We believe that major
grassroots petrochemical projects will continue to be undertaken overseas,
either closer to product demand in emerging economies, or located closer to
less expensive feed stocks. We expect for the foreseeable future, that
petrochemical work undertaken in the U.S. will consist of smaller capital
projects or be maintenance related.
16
Despite past downturns in the industry, pipeline projects have remained
fairly constant and we have recently seen a significant increase in project
activity. Although pipeline projects tend to require less engineering man
hours than similar sized downstream projects, ENGlobal may also provide a
pipeline client with several additional services, such as right-of-way
acquisition, inspection, and construction management. The drivers we see
behind growth in domestic pipeline activity include: 1) natural gas
transportation away from the Rocky Mountain area and new gas fields in
other parts of the country, 2) natural gas transportation related to LNG
import facilities, 3) movement of heavy Canadian crude oil into the United
States, and 4) movement of refined products from Gulf Coast refineries to
the Midwest and Northeast.
The country's focus on alternative energy has presented the Company with
many new project opportunities. The North American Industrial Project
Spending Index has recently indicated that capital spending for all
alternative energy projects exceeds that for refining and pipeline
combined. To date, ENGlobal has mainly focused its efforts on biomass
processes, such as those related to coal-to-liquids projects, the
production of ethanol and biodiesel, and the utilization of refinery
petroleum coke as an energy source. In addition, the Company predicts
possible opportunities related to solar energy in the coming years,
including the potential opportunity to perform project services on solar
collector and poly-silicon (used in photovoltaic cells) production
facilities. Most of our alternative-energy projects are for smaller
developers rather than our larger, traditional clients.
Revenue:
Revenue increased $46.4 million, or 51.8%, to $136.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, from $89.6 million for the comparable
prior-year period. Approximately $77.5 million of the increase is
attributable to our Engineering segment, while $35.7 million of the
increase is attributable to our Construction segment, $11.0 million of the
increase is attributable to our Automation segment, and $11.8 million of
the increase is attributable to our Land segment. Revenue from procurement
services increased 218.2%, or $12.0 million, to $17.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, from $5.5 million for the comparable period in
2007. This is discussed further in our segment information.
Revenue increased $63.0 million, or 36.8%, to $234.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, from $171.2 million for the comparable
prior-year period. Approximately $129.5 million of the increase is
attributable to our Engineering segment, while $62.6 million of the
increase is attributable to our Construction segment, $21.4 million of the
increase is attributable to our Automation segment, and $20.7 million of
the increase is attributable to our Land segment. Revenue from procurement
services increased 157.4%, or $10.7 million, to $17.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, from $6.8 million for the comparable period in
2007. This is discussed further in our segment information.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit increased $6.1 million, or 43.0%, to $20.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, from $14.2 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The $6.1 million increase in gross profit is
attributable to a $46.4 million increase in revenue, which was offset by
approximately $40.3 million in higher costs and lower margins.
As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased 1.0% from 15.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, to 14.9% for the three months ended June
30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue
primarily relates to a shift in revenue mix quarter-over-quarter. Revenues
in the Engineering segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
included $17.5 million in procurement services compared to $5.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues in the Construction segment
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, included $31.0 million in
inspection services compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. While these two portions of our revenue added $30.9 million
to our overall revenue growth, these pass-through type services have
typically been performed at lower margins, thereby, resulting in an average
reduction of 1.0% in our overall gross margin.
Gross profit increased $7.1 million, or 25.8%, to $34.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, from $27.5 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The $7.1 million increase in gross profit is
attributable to a $63.0 million increase in revenue, which was offset by
approximately $55.9 million in higher costs and lower margins.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased 1.3% from 16.1% for the
six months ended June 30, 2007, to 14.8% for the quarter ended June 30,
2008. . Revenues in the Engineering segment for the three months ended June
30, 2008, included $17.5 million in procurement services compared to $6.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues in the
Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008, included
$54.4 million in inspection services compared to $22.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. While these two portions of our revenue
added $42.3 million to our overall revenue growth, these pass-through type
services have typically been performed at lower margins, thereby, resulting
in an average reduction of 1.3% in our overall gross margin.
Selling, General, and Administrative:
As a percentage of revenue, total SG&A expense decreased 1.7% to 6.4% for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 8.1% for the comparable period
in 2007. Total expense for SG&A increased $1.4 million, or 19.2%, to $8.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $7.3 million for the
comparable prior-year period.
As a percentage of revenue, operating SG&A expense decreased 0.8% to 3.4%
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.2% for the comparable
prior-year period. Operating SG&A increased $0.8 million, or 21.1%, to $4.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $3.8 million for the
comparable prior-year period. Increases in Operating SG&A were primarily
related to increases in higher bad debt expense. Operating SG&A is
discussed in further detail in each of the segment sections.
As a percentage of revenue, all other SG&A expense decreased 0.9% to 3.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 3.9% for the comparable
prior-year period. All other SG&A expense increased approximately $0.6
million, or 17.1%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008, from $3.5 million for the comparable prior-year period. The increase
over the prior year's all other SG&A expense was related to increases of
approximately $169,000 related to stock compensation expense, $99,000 in
depreciation and amortization expense, and $236,000 for professional
services.
As a percentage of revenue, total SG&A expense decreased 2.0% to 6.8% for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, from 8.8% for the comparable period in
2007. Total expense for SG&A increased $0.9 million, or 6.0%, to $15.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $15.0 million for the
comparable prior-year period.
As a percentage of revenue, operating SG&A expense decreased 1.1% to 3.4%
for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.5% for the comparable
prior-year period. Operating SG&A expense increased approximately $0.3
million to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $7.6
million for the comparable prior-year period. Increases in Operating SG&A
were primarily related to increases in higher bad debt expense, offset by
identifying certain associate expenses as direct costs rather than
overhead.
As a percentage of revenue, all other SG&A expense decreased 0.9% to 3.4%
for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.3% for the comparable
prior-year period. All other SG&A expense increased approximately $0.6
million, or 8.1%, to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
from $7.4 million for the comparable prior-year period. The increase over
the prior year's all other SG&A was related to increases of approximately
$321,000 related to stock compensation expense, $224,000 in depreciation
and amortization expense, and $152,000 in professional services.
Operating Income:
Operating income increased approximately $4.7 million, or 68.1%, to $11.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $6.9 million for to
the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased 0.7% to 8.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 7.8%
for the comparable prior-year period.
Operating income increased approximately $6.2 million, or 49.6%, to $18.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $12.5 million for the
comparable period in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased 0.7% to 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 7.3%
for the comparable prior- year period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
Other Expense, net:
Other expense increased $0.2 million, to $0.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, from $0.2 million for the comparable prior-year
period, primarily due to other income related to gain on the sale of the
Baton Rouge office building in the second quarter of 2007. Net interest
expense on our Credit Facility was reduced from $633,000 in June 2007 (with
a rate of 8.25%) to $356,000 in June 2008 (with an average rate of
approximately 4.5%). Other expense for the three months ended June 30,
2008, is net of approximately $82,000 gain on the sale of land described in
Note 9 above, and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
is net of approximately $500,000 gain on the sale of the Baton Rouge
building described in Note 10, above.
Other expense increased $0.1 million, to $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, from $0.7 million for the comparable prior-year
period, primarily due to other income related to gain on the sale of the
Baton Rouge office building in the second quarter of 2007. Net interest
expense was reduced related to lower interest rates on our Credit Facility
from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 2007, to $794,000 for the
six months ended June 2008. Other expense for the three months ended June
30, 2008, is net of approximately $82,000 gain on the sale of land
described in Note 9 above, and other expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2007, is net of approximately $500,000 gain on the sale of the
Baton Rouge building described in Note 10 above.
Tax Provision:
Income tax expense increased $1.7 million, or 60.7%, to $4.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $2.8 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The estimated effective tax rate was 40.4% for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 42.0% for the comparable prior-year
period.
Income tax expense increased $2.6 million, or 56.5%, to $7.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $4.6 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The estimated effective tax rate was 40.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 39.7% for the comparable prior-year
period and 39.7% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007.
The estimated effective tax rates are based on estimates using historical
rates adjusted by recurring and non-recurring book to tax differences.
Estimates at June 30, 2008, are based on results of the 2007 year end and
adjusted for estimates of non-recurring differences from the prior year, as
well as anticipated book to tax differences for 2008.
Net Income:
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $2.8 million,
or 71.8%, to $6.7 million from $3.9 million for the comparable prior-year
period. As a percentage of revenue, net income increased 0.5% to 4.9% for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.4% for the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $3.6 million,
or 50.7%, to $10.7 million from $7.1 million for the comparable prior-year
period. As a percentage of revenue, net income increased 0.5% to 4.6% for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.1% for the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Overview
The Company defines liquidity as its ability to pay liabilities as they
become due, fund the business operations and meet monetary contractual
obligations. Our primary source of funds to meet liquidity needs during the
period ended June 30, 2008 was borrowings under our senior revolving Credit
Facility, also. Cash on hand at June 30, 2008 totaled $2.3 million and
availability under the Credit Facility totaled $23.3 million resulting in
cash and previously arranged borrowing capacity to meet additional
liquidity needs of $25.6 million. As of June 30, 2008, management believes
the Company is positioned to meet its liquidity requirements for the next
12 months.
We are a growth company and we manage our business to achieve reasonable
growth objectives that are commensurate with profitable operations given
existing and anticipated economic conditions. The outlook for our continued
organic growth is generally favorable. We also expect to have opportunities
to make strategic acquisitions. We intend to continue to meet both of the
incremental liquidity needs through our internally generated profits and

existing borrowing arrangements. In 2008, we began to utilize capital lease
arrangements for a significant upgrade in our computing equipment. We
expect that the capital lease commitment will approximate $1.0 million when
completed by the end of 2008.
The competitive contracting environment exposes us to situations where our
clients may become unable or unwilling to complete a contract and meet
their obligations to us in the normal course of business. These situations
cause unexpected liquidity requirements, lower than expected profits and
even losses. We currently are financing more than $10 million relating to
such a situation (i.e. the SLE Project note receivable) as described more
fully in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.4,003

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
We recorded net income of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or
$0.15 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.
The decline in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
due in part to lower energy commodity prices, lower oil and gas processing
margins, and the generally weak economy. These factors have led our clients
to spend less through the deferral or cancellation of both capital and
maintenance projects. Competition has increased greatly for the amount of
project work on the market, putting pressure on our billing rate structures
and profit margins. In response to the economic pressures, we have also
increased our sales efforts, therefore increasing costs, to focus on
winning new work and expanding into new markets and increasing our client
base.
The Company recognizes service revenue as soon as the services are
performed. The majority of the Company's service revenue historically has

Industry Overview:
In the past, many ENGlobal offices have benefited from significant capital
projects in the downstream refinery market, primarily related to increasing
capacity, utilizing heavy or sour crude oil, and rebuilding facilities
damaged by accidents or natural disasters. While some such projects are
currently underway, some refiners have now chosen to defer significant new
spending given the recent economic conditions, lower refining margins and
lower refinery utilization. The Company expects a continuation of
compliance-driven refining projects, such as EPA environmental initiatives,
DOT pipeline integrity requirements, and OSHA safety-related projects,
which may result from increased audits of U.S.-based refineries. Also, the
Company is seeing opportunities to upgrade obsolete automation and control
systems at existing refineries and to plan and manage turnaround projects.
The downstream petrochemical industry has historically been a good source
of projects for ENGlobal. While not currently as robust as the refining
market, we have seen a steady level of both maintenance and small capital
projects from this industry. We believe that major grassroots petrochemical
17
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
projects will continue to be undertaken overseas, either closer to product
demand in emerging economies, or located closer to less expensive feed
stocks. We expect that future petrochemical work undertaken in the U.S.
primarily will consist of smaller capital projects or will be maintenance
related.
Despite past downturns in the industry, pipeline projects have remained
fairly constant. Although pipeline projects tend to require fewer
engineering man-hours than similarly sized downstream projects, ENGlobal
may also provide a pipeline client with several additional services, such
as right-of-way acquisition, regulatory permitting, inspection, and
construction management. The drivers we see behind growth in domestic
pipeline activity include: (1) natural gas transportation away from the
Rocky Mountain area and new gas fields in other parts of the country, (2)
natural gas transportation related to LNG import facilities, (3) movement
of heavy Canadian crude oil into the United States, and (4) movement of
refined products from Gulf Coast refineries to the Midwest and Northeast.
The country's focus on alternative energy has presented the Company with
many new project opportunities. The North American Industrial Project
Spending Index has recently indicated that capital spending for all
alternative energy projects exceeds that for refining and pipeline. To
date, ENGlobal has mainly focused its efforts on biomass processes, such as
those related to coal-to-liquids projects, the production of ethanol and
biofuels, and the gasification of refinery petroleum coke and other
feedstocks as an energy source. In addition, the Company has begun pursuing
business on electric transmission and distribution projects, as a large
amount of capital spending is expected for transporting renewable electric
energy produced in remote areas to population centers. In many cases,
alternative energy projects are being developed by new and smaller firms,
rather than our larger, traditional clients.
Tightening credit markets have triggered substantial uncertainty with
respect to the funding of capital expenditures by our customers, and oil
and natural gas prices have fallen substantially from their highs in summer
2008. These changes have impacted general business conditions and may
continue to reduce demand for certain of our products and services. As
mentioned above, some refiners have chosen to defer and cancel significant
new spending given the recent narrowing of energy processing margins.
Although we are not immune to the current financial and economic events as
evidenced by lower revenues in our Engineering and Construction segments,
as well as by our lower consolidated net profits, we believe each of
ENGlobal's business segments is well positioned within the industry for the
following reasons:
o About half of the states in the U.S. have enacted Renewable Portfolio
Standards, which mandate a timeline and percentage for electricity
generation from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and
biomass. Also, the Investment Tax Credit for these renewable energy
projects was due to expire on December 31, 2008, but was extended as
part of the recent stimulus legislation. We believe these two factors,
working together will serve to drive demand for alternative energy
projects in the future.
o Facilities in the energy industry, as well as in many other
industries, are aging. No grass roots refinery has been built in the
U.S. since 1976, and many of the country's large pipelines were
installed over 50 years ago. We anticipate that maintaining and
rebuilding this aging infrastructure - an ENGlobal core competency -
will benefit our Company.
o ENGlobal has served many of our valued clients over a long period of
time, and these strong alliance relationships are the foundation of
our business. While some clients are basing their purchasing decisions
on overall costs rather than existing relationships, we are seeing
continued project awards from our long-term clients.
o Our business relies primarily on small to mid-sized projects, many of
which fall into the "run and maintain" category. We are not as
dependent on large capital projects as many of our competitors. As a
result, although we have been affected by delayed or cancelled capital
project work and by clients awarding new capital project work based on
18
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
price, the impact on our business has not been as significant as it
might otherwise have been. In addition, we anticipate that our entry
into the renewable energy market will create potential for future
growth.
o A significant part of our Automation segment's work is driven by our
clients' need to replace aging and obsolete distributed control system
(DCS) and analytical equipment. While some of these expenditures can
be deferred, the need to replace DCS and other equipment has
historically provided a reliable and recurring source of projects. We
expect to benefit as manufacturers are currently phasing out their
support for heritage DCS platforms with a large installed based, and
our clients will therefore need to migrate to newer DCS platforms. We
are focusing our efforts on improving operational efficiencies that
will allow us to fully capitalize on these opportunities.
The specific segment information contained in this Item provides further
detail regarding the reasons for changes in our financial performance from
period to period.
Revenue:
Revenue decreased $4.7 million, or 4.8%, to $93.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, from $98.2 million for the comparable
prior-year period. Of the decrease, approximately $9.5 million is
attributable to our Engineering segment and $5.7 million to our
Construction segment, while we had increases in our Land segment of $0.3
million and our Automation segment of $10.2 million. Many of our clients
have delayed or canceled scheduled capital projects due to the economy in
general as well as lower oil prices. They are focusing more on run and
maintain type smaller projects. Competition has increased greatly for the
amount of project work on the market.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit decreased $3.8 million, or 26.6%, to $10.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, from $14.3 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The $3.8 million decrease in gross profit is
attributable to approximately $3.1 million in higher costs and increased
procurement services and a $0.7 million decrease in revenue.
As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased 3.4% from 14.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, to 11.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of
revenue primarily relates to renegotiations of existing contracts to lower
margins, increased overhead costs to retain employees even though our level
of work has decreased, and increased overhead costs to expand our marketing
to new sectors and new clients.
Selling, General, and Administrative:
As a percentage of revenue, total SG&A expense increased 0.2% to 7.6% for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 7.4% for the comparable period
in 2008. Total expense for SG&A decreased $0.1 million, or 1.4%, to $7.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $7.2 million for
the comparable prior-year period.
Operating Income:
Operating income decreased approximately $3.7 million, or 52.1%, to $3.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $7.1 million for
the same period in 2008. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
decreased 3.6% to 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 7.2%
for the comparable prior-year period. Operating income decreased due to the
lower revenue levels as well as increased costs for both new sales efforts
and maintaining core employees during a time of decreasing projects.
19
Management's Discussion and Analysis (contined)
- -----------------------------------------------
Other Expense, net:
Other expense decreased $465,000 to an income of $8,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. We had other expense of $457,000 for the
comparable prior-year period. This is due to our expected receipt in 2009
of $300,000 from our Hurricane Ike insurance claim, with the remainder of
the expense reduction due to lower interest expense.
Tax Provision:
Income tax expense decreased $1.3 million, or 48.1%, to $1.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $2.7 million for the comparable
prior-year period. The estimated effective tax rate was 41.3% for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 39.9% for the comparable
prior-year period.
The estimated effective tax rates are based on estimates using historical
rates adjusted by recurring and non-recurring book to tax differences.
Estimates at March 31, 2009 are based on results of the 2008 year end and
adjusted for estimates of non-recurring differences from the prior year, as
well as anticipated book to tax differences for 2009.
Net Income:
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $2.0
million, or 50.0%, to $2.0 million from $4.0 million for the comparable
prior-year period. As a percentage of revenue, net income decreased 2.0% to
2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 4.1% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ------------------------------
Overview
The Company defines liquidity as its ability to pay liabilities as they
become due, fund our operations and meet monetary contractual obligations.
Our primary source of funds to meet liquidity needs during the period ended
March 31, 2009 was borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility.
Cash on hand at March 31, 2009 totaled $4.2 million and availability under
the credit facility totaled $29.1 million, resulting in cash and previously
arranged borrowing capacity to meet additional liquidity needs of $33.3
million. As of March 31, 2009, management believes the Company is
positioned to meet its liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2009, the amount outstanding on the Company's line of credit
was $20.0 million compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2008.
We are a growth company and we manage our business to achieve reasonable
growth objectives that are commensurate with profitable operations given
existing and anticipated economic conditions. The outlook for our continued
organic growth is generally favorable. We also expect opportunities to make
strategic acquisitions. We intend to continue to meet our incremental
liquidity needs through internally generated profits and existing borrowing
arrangements.
The competitive contracting environment exposes us to situations where our
clients may become unable or unwilling to complete a contract and meet
their obligations to us in the normal course of business. These situations
cause unexpected liquidity requirements, lower than expected profits and
even losses. We currently are financing more than $8.6 million relating to
the SLE Project, described more fully in Note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. While this situation has caused the Company to incur higher interest
costs than would otherwise have been incurred, our liquidity remains
sufficient to meet our objectives.
However, cash and the availability of cash could be materially restricted
if:
(1) circumstances prevent the timely internal processing of invoices,
(2) amounts billed are not collected or are not collected in a timely
manner,
(3) project mix shifts from cost-reimbursable to fixed-price
contracts during periods of growth,
(4) the Company loses one or more of its major customers,
(5) the Company experiences material cost overruns on fixed-price
contracts,
(6) our client mix shifts from our historical owner-operator client
base to more developer-based clients,
(7) acquisitions are not accretive or integrated timely, or
(8) we not able to meet the covenants of the Credit Facility.
If any such event occurs, we would be forced to consider alternative
financing options.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities:
Operations generated approximately $4.5 million in net cash for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared with net cash used for operations of
$4.4 million during the same period in 2007. Operations generated
approximately $4.1 million in net cash for the three months ended June 30,
2008, compared to the $0.4 million generated for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. The unfavorable changes in working capital accounts during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, which negatively impacted cash
flows, were more than offset by income and non-cash provided by operating
activities. The primary changes in working capital accounts were due to the
following:
o Increased Trade Receivables - The increase was primarily the
result of an overall increase in operating activity. Our
collections on past due Accounts Receivable balances continue to
improve.
o Increased Accounts Payable - The increase was primarily the
result of increases in vendor and sub-contractor charges due to
increased operating activity in our Engineering segment during
the three months ended June 30, 2008. The material portion of
these obligations must be met during the third quarter of 2008
and are expected to be funded through receipts from collections
of Trade Receivables. An additional $1.3 million in payments
scheduled to be made during the second quarter of 2008 for
commitments related to the SLE Project were extended due to
delays in execution of settlement and release documents. The SLE
obligations are expected to also be met during the third quarter
of 2008.
o Increased Accrued Compensation and Benefits - The increase was
primarily due to timing of bi-weekly payroll and benefits
payments for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
Despite the Company's favorable liquidity situation, cash and the
availability of cash could be materially restricted if:
(1) circumstances prevent the timely internal processing of invoices,
(2) amounts billed are not collected or are not collected in a timely
manner,
(3) project mix shifts from cost-reimbursable to fixed-price contracts,
(4) the Company loses one or more of its major customers,
(5) the Company experiences material cost overruns on fixed-price
contracts,
(6) our client mix shifts from our historical owner-operator client base
to more developer-based clients,
(7) acquisitions are not accretive or are not integrated timely, or
(8) we are unable to meet the covenants of the Credit Facility.
If any such event occurs, we would be forced to consider alternative
financing options, if such options are available given current market
conditions.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities:
Operations generated approximately $8.2 million in net cash for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared with net cash used by operations of
$0.4 million during the same period in 2008.
The primary changes in working capital accounts during the period were:
o Decreased Trade Receivables - The decrease of $20.7 million from
December 31, 2008, was primarily the result of an overall decline in
operating activity. Our collections on past due Accounts Receivable
balances continue to improve although our days sales outstanding has
increased from 62 days for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008
and 64 days for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008 to 72
days at the end of the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The
primary reasons for the increase in our days sales outstanding were
three past due client accounts totaling $11.9 million which added 11
days to our days sales outstanding for the three-month period ending
March 31, 2009.
o Decreased Accounts Payable - The decrease of $6.8 million from
December 31, 2008, was primarily the result of payouts of vendor and
sub-contractor charges incurred by our Automation segment due to
increased operating activity during the three months ended December
31, 2008.
o Decreased Accrued Compensation and Benefits - The decrease of $9.2
million from December 31, 2008 was primarily due to timing of
bi-weekly payroll and benefits payments at March 31, 2009 as well as a
decrease of approximately 200 employees.

Management's DiscussionDue to the current
economy, more clients are requesting work to be performed on a fixed price
basis to control their costs and shift risk to their contractors.
Gross Profit:
Our Engineering segment's gross profit decreased $5.3 million, or 53.5%, to
$4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $9.9 million
for the comparable period in 2008. As a percentage of the total Engineering
segment revenue, gross profit decreased by 8.2% to 10.8% from 19.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
Our detail-design services proved strong with revenue increasing 37.3%, or
$12.5 million, to $46.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Of the overall
$5.3 million decrease in gross profit, $3.5 million was attributable to
increased costs, while decreased revenues contributed to $1.8 million of
overall decrease. Generally, clients are awarding new work based on
competitive bidding. In response to the decrease in work, we have decreased
our number of employees. However, realization of the cost savings
associated with reducing our workforce lags a period of increased overhead
costs associated with employees being removed from projects and being
carried as non-billable employees prior to termination.
Selling, General, and Administrative:
Our Engineering segment's SG&A expense remained stable at $1.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the comparable period in 2008. As
a percentage of the total Engineering segment revenue, due to the decline
in revenue, the segment's SG&A costs increased by 0.6% to 3.1% from 2.5%
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Operating Income:
Operating income for the Engineering segment decreased $5.3 million, or
61.6%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $8.6
million for the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of the total
Engineering segment revenue, operating income decreased by 8.8% to 7.7% for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $33.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. As a percentage of
the total Engineering segment revenue, detail-design revenue increased 0.5%
to 59.4% in 2008 from 58.9% in 2007.
Our detail-design services proved strong with revenue increasing 26.7%, or
$17.7 million, to $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008,

Our Engineering segment's gross profit increased $3.2 million, or 33.3%, to
$12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $9.6 million
for the comparable period in 2007. As a percentage of the total Engineering
segment revenue, gross profit decreased by 0.3% to 16.5% from 16.8% for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The overall $3.2
million increase in gross profit was attributable to the $20.5 million
increase in total revenue, including approximately $17.5 million in lower
margin procurement revenue.
Our Engineering segment's gross profit increased $4.0 million, or 21.4%, to
$22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $18.7 million
for the comparable period in 2007. As a percentage of the total Engineering
segment revenue, gross profit increased by 0.2% to 17.5% from 17.3% for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Of the overall $4.0
million increase in gross profit, approximately $3.5 million was
attributable to the $21.1 million increase in total revenue, plus
approximately $0.5 million in improved margins. The increase in margins can
be attributed to the reduced activity in low margin/high dollar procurement
projects, as these projects are being replaced with higher margin, core
revenue derived from labor activity. Margin improvement slowed in the
second quarter of 2008, as Engineering revenue included approximately $17.5
million in lower margin procurement revenue.
Selling, General, and Administrative:
Our Engineering segment's SG&A expense increased $0.6 million, or 35.3%, to
$2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $1.7 million
for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in the Engineering
segment's SG&A expense came from approximately $0.8 million in higher bad
debt expense offset by approximately $0.2 million in employee and
associated costs reclassified to direct expense. As a percentage of the
total Engineering segment revenue, the segment's SG&A costs decreased by
0.1% to 2.9% from 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Our Engineering segment's SG&A expense remained flat at $3.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $3.6 million for the comparable
period in 2007. The differences in the Engineering segment's SG&A expense
are attributable to approximately $0.5 million in lower employee and
associated costs re-classified to direct expense in 2008, $0.1 million in
non-recurring costs associated with closing the Dallas office during the
first quarter of 2007, a $0.7 million increase in bad debt expense and a
$0.1 million decrease in share-based incentives for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. As a percentage of the total Engineering segment revenue,
the segment's SG&A costs decreased by 0.6% to 2.7% from 3.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

focused on growing this segment's business, we increased the number of its
personnel. As a result, our gross profit margins decreased because we were
not able to immediately pass through to clients the resulting increased
costs of labor and expenses. We renegotiated billing rates on existing
contracts to accommodate these increased costs and implemented these
changes in the acceptance of new work. As the gross profit percentage has
increased by 5.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, the success of
these modifications and our growth is becoming apparent.

was 8.1% for both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and for the same
period in 2008.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, notes and capital leases payable, and debt
obligations. The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and short-term notes payable are considered to
be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and we do not
hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to
significant market risk. In the normal course of business, our results of
operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest
rates and currency exchange rates.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to our obligations under the Comerica Credit Facility (the "Credit
Facility"). As of March 31, 2009, $20.0 million had been borrowed under the
Credit Facility, accruing interest at an average rate of 2.92% per year,
excluding amortization of prepaid financing costs. If it becomes necessary
for the Company to replace the Credit Facility in the current economic
environment, it may not be able to obtain as favorable a rate structure as
the existing arrangement.
In general, our exposure to fluctuating exchange rates relates to the
effects of translating the financial statements of our Canadian subsidiary
from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. We follow the provisions of
SFAS No. 52 - "Foreign Currency Translation" in preparing our condensed
consolidated financial statements. Currently, we do not engage in foreign
currency hedging activities.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission's ("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 disclosures.
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009, 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 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during
the three months ended March 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
----------------------------
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company received notice of an action filed in the 234th District Court for
Harris County, TX on or about March 20, 2009, seeking declaratory relief to
clear title to real property and improvements owned by Bigler Chemical on which
ENGlobal Engineering, Inc. ("EEI") had filed a statutory mechanics lien
statement in the amount of $3,169,000 on or about February 18, 2009. Bigler also
claims breach of contract by EEI and monetary damages. The Company filed its
Answer and Counterclaim for damages on breach of contract, for its attorneys'
fees and costs, and to foreclose on its lien interest on April 27, 2009.
As discussed in Note 9 above, in the first quarter of 2007 ENGlobal Engineering,
Inc. and South Louisiana Ethanol, LLC ("SLE") executed an agreement for EPC
services relating to the retro-fit of an ethanol plan in southern Louisiana. The
history of the SLE Project is described in Note 12 to the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and is discussed further in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Due to the
continued failure of SLE to obtain permanent financing, on May 30, 2008, the
Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Louisiana, Cause Number 08-3601. The Company is seeking damages of $15.8
million.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries become parties to various
legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of normal business activities.
While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion and
based on reports of counsel, any liability arising from such matters,
individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material effect upon
the consolidated financial position or operations of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
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 31,
2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only
additional 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------
The Land segment's SG&A expense increased approximately $0.4 million, or
33.3%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $1.2
million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of the total Land
segment revenue, SG&A expense decreased by 0.8% to 7.5%, from 8.3% for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Most of the
increases in SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were
related to $132,000 in higher salaries and associated expenses primarily
associated with our growth, and an increase in bad debt expense of
$163,000.
Operating Income:
The Land segment recorded an operating income of $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to an operating income of $0.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of the total Land
segment revenue, operating income increased 6.6% to 10.9% for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, from 4.3% for the same period in 2007.
The Land segment recorded an operating income of $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to an operating income of $1.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of the total Land
segment revenue, operating income decreased 2.8% to 9.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, from 6.9% for the same period in 2007.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, notes and capital leases payable, and debt
obligations. The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and short-term notes payable are considered to
be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and we do not
hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to
significant market risk. In the normal course of business, our results of
operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest
rates and currency exchange rates.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to our obligations under the Comerica Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2008,
$25.5 million had been borrowed under the Credit Facility, accruing
interest at 4.75% per year, excluding amortization of prepaid financing
costs. A 10% increase in the short-term borrowing rates on the Credit
Facility outstanding as of June 30, 2008 would be 47.5 basis points. Such
an increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by
approximately $121,000, assuming the amount of debt outstanding remains
constant.
In general, our exposure to fluctuating exchange rates relates to the
effects of translating the financial statements of our Canadian subsidiary
from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. We follow the provisions of
SFAS No. 52 - "Foreign Currency Translation" in preparing our condensed
consolidated financial statements. Currently, we do not engage in foreign
currency hedging activities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission's ("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 disclosures.
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008, as required by Rule
13a-15 of the Exchange Act. As described below, material weaknesses were
identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30,
2008. Based on the evaluation described above, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we disclosed certain
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which are
identified below. Neither material weakness has been remediated as of June
30, 2008.
30
Deficiencies in the Company's Control Environment and Accounting System
Controls.
We did not effectively and accurately close the general ledger in a timely
manner and we did not provide complete and accurate disclosure in our notes
to financial statements, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. Specifically, the Company lacks sufficient knowledge and
expertise in financial reporting to adequately handle complex or
non-routine accounting issues, resulting in the following:
- failure in a timely manner to properly evaluate goodwill for
potential impairment in accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets";
- difficulty in obtaining timely resolution of SEC comments related
to the above item, causing a delay in the Company's period-end
closing process for its 2007 Form 10-K; and
- failure to effectively utilize third-party specialists in a
timely manner to assist with complex or non-routine accounting
issues.
As noted above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting
occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Remediation Initiatives
Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, has been addressing the material weaknesses discussed above.
While progress has been made, these remedial steps have not been completed;
however, the Company has performed additional analysis and procedures in
order to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Although the Company's remediation efforts are underway, control weaknesses
will not be considered remediated until new internal controls over
financial reporting are implemented and operational for a sufficient period
of time to allow for effective testing and are tested, and management and
its independent registered certified public accounting firm conclude that
these controls are operating effectively. Management, along with its
outside consultants, and the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors are working to determine the most effective way to implement the
remedial measures listed below, and, if necessary, to develop additional
remedial measures to address the internal control deficiencies identified
above. The Company is monitoring the effectiveness of planned actions and
will make any other changes and take such other actions as management or
the Audit Committee determines to be appropriate. The Company's remediation
efforts include:
o engagement of various third-party consultants to assist us with
specific technical accounting issues;
o engagement of third-party consultants to provide valuation
services in accordance with SFAS 142;
o implementation of quarterly and annual disclosure checklists,
which are utilized in connection with the completion of our
quarterly financial statements;
o provision of additional training to accounting staff on SFAS 142,
SEC reporting principles, and GAAP; and
o implementation of periodic accounting management meetings where
our accounting processes and procedures are communicated and
reinforced.
The Company has been holding quarterly meetings of the accounting staff to
facilitate quarterly closing procedures and review of quarterly checklists.
Certain training needs have been addressed as a result. The Company has
engaged Sirius Solutions to review specific non-recurring technical
accounting issues and to review SEC disclosure checklists to improve
compliance.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
----------------------------
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As discussed in Note 9 above, in the first quarter of 2007 ENGlobal
Engineering, Inc. and South Louisiana Ethanol, LLC ("SLE") executed an
agreement for EPC services relating to the retro-fit of an ethanol plan in
southern Louisiana. The history of the SLE Project is described in Note 12
to the Company's financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the "Third Quarter
10-Q") and is discussed further in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007. Due to the continued failure of SLE
to obtain permanent financing, on May 30, 2008, the Company filed suit in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana,
Cause Number 08-3601. The Company is seeking damages of $15.8 million.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries become parties to
various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of normal business
activities. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, in
our opinion and based on reports of counsel, any liability arising from
such matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a
material effect upon the consolidated financial position or operations of
the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
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. 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. Financial difficulties or business failure experienced by
one or more of our major customers could have a material adverse affect on
both our ability to collect receivables and our results of operations.
As discussed further in Note 9 above, due to the continued failure of South
Louisiana Ethanol, LLC ("SLE") to obtain permanent financing, the Company
has filed suit against SLE seeking damages of $15.8 million. While the
Company believes that in the event that the collateral is liquidated, SLE's
obligations to the Company would be paid in full pursuant to the Collateral
Mortgage in favor of the Company, collectability is not assured at this
time.
As discussed further in Note 10 above, we have potential exposure to
SemCrude, L.P. ("SemCrude"), an affiliate of SemGroup, L.P. ("SemGroup),
related to services provided by our Engineering and Construction segments
in connection with construction of the White Cliffs Pipeline. While
SemCrude's account was materially current as of August 7, 2008, the Company
is pursuing various legal remedies in connection with the SemGroup
situation, and we are currently unable to quantify what amount of
SemCrude's balance, if any, may be uncollectible.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, 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 31, 2007,
which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On June 19, 2008, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As
of the April 21, 2008 record date, 27,063,541 shares of Common Stock were
entitled to vote at the meeting. Represented at the meeting in person or by
proxy were 23,980,538 shares, or 88.6% of the total shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote at the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was the re-election of four directors to a
one-year term. All of management's nominees as listed in the Company's
proxy statement were elected. The following table sets forth the results of
the election:
Shares Voted FOR Shares WITHHELD

David C. Roussel 23,444,659 535,879
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Indemnification Agreements
--------------------------
In June 2008, ENGlobal's Board of Directors authorized the Company's entry
into indemnification agreements with the following Company directors and
executive officers: William A. Coskey, P.E. (Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer), Robert W. Raiford (Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer), Michael M. Patton, P.E. (Senior Vice President, Business
Development), R. David Kelley (Senior Vice President, Corporate Services),
Randall B. Hale (Director), David W. Gent (Director), and David C. Roussel
(Director).
Under each indemnification agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify the
officer or director signing the agreement against expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) and other types of losses incurred by reason of
his serving the Company, or other enterprise at the Company's request, as
an officer, director, employee, or agent, subject to certain limitations.
The Company also agrees to advance his expenses, and each officer and
director undertakes to repay the advances should a court ultimately
determine that indemnification was not authorized.
The above description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnification
agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
----------------------------
In June 2008, the Company granted compensation to each of its three
non-employee directors via restricted stock awards. It was the Company's
intention that such awards be issued pursuant to the Plan. It was later
determined that the grants had been made after the Plan's expiration.
Therefore, the grants of restricted stock were rescinded. On August 8,
2008, the Company replaced the grants of restricted stock with grants of
non-Plan restricted stock units equivalent to 6,420 shares of common stock.
The award of restricted stock units is intended to compensate and retain
the directors over the term of the award. The fair value of the award was
$93,411 per director based on the market price of $14.55 per share of the
Company's stock on the date the award was granted. Upon vesting, the units
will be convertible into cash or, if shareholder approval is obtained,
common stock. The units will vest in equal quarterly installments beginning
on September 30, 2008, so long as the grantee continues to serve as an
independent director of the Company. Recognition of compensation related to
the restricted stock awards will commence in the third quarter of 2008. The
form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement granted to the non-employee
directors is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
and incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
