ENGlobal (R)

                                                                  April 30, 2009

To Our Stockholders:

Despite the tough economic times that faced our country in the latter part of
2008, ENGlobal produced record results in terms of both revenue and
profitability. Some highlights include:

     o    Record $0.66 earnings per diluted share for the year, an increase of
          47% over fiscal 2007
     o    Record revenue for the year of $494 million, an increase of 36% over
          fiscal 2007
     o    Positive cash flow from operations of $8.4 million for the year
     o    97% of year-over-year revenue increase attributable to organic or
          non-acquisition growth
     o    13% year-over-year backlog increase at December 31, 2008, for a total
          backlog of $326 million

These results are unprecedented in ENGlobal's history, and especially impressive
given that we almost reached the $500 million revenue mark. It's notable that
our Company's year-over-year earnings growth of 47% exceeded our 36% revenue
growth. All four operating segments participated in our positive results, as
each of our segments, to varying degrees, grew its revenue and operating income.
We would like to acknowledge the management and employees of ENGlobal for
achieving these results, and commend them on their outstanding performance on
behalf of our clients and stockholders.

Although ENGlobal continues to win contracts and our backlog increased slightly
over 2007, we are certainly not immune to the current economic slowdown. We have
seen a downward trend in billable hours for many of our operations thus far in
2009.

From an industry perspective, we perceive that midstream (pipeline) capital
spending has been impacted, but to a lesser degree than downstream (refinery or
petrochemical) spending. Certain refining and petrochemical clients currently
seem to be taking a more aggressive approach to cutting their costs and capital
spending. The general trend is toward project delays and deferrals, as opposed
to outright project cancellations. It seems that spending by our clients is very
much a function of their size and balance sheets. Larger self-funded clients
appear to have been able to sustain their level of spending in early 2009.
However, smaller operators typically require project financing, which has been
unavailable. As a result, many of their projects have been delayed or cancelled.

Going forward, whether we see a greater amount of project activity and spending
by our clients in the midstream and downstream sectors is likely to be a
function of several factors, such as (1) higher commodity prices, (2) higher
refining and petrochemical margins, and (3) availability of capital. For
example, several clients have informally told us they expect to increase their
spending in the latter part of the year, which is one indicator of an expected
improving trend.

ENGlobal is fortunate not to have a majority of our work tied to large capital
projects, as this area of our industry seems to be impacted the most. We
recently prepared an internal analysis of our larger booked projects from early
this year in order to assess the underlying drivers of recent new work. Although
one month cannot be a leading indicator of the work we see ahead of us, current
trends in the analysis showed that approximately 75% of anticipated 2009 revenue
is likely to come from a variety of smaller sources, including:

     1.   "Run and maintain" projects, such as small capital projects, alliance
          and ongoing maintenance work;
     2.   Control system upgrades to retrofit obsolete distributed control
          system and analyzer equipment in process plants;
     3.   Recovery efforts required as a result of hurricanes or other natural
          disasters; and
     4.   Regulatory compliance, such as process safety management, pipeline
          integrity, and environmental mandates.

In summary, the results of our recent internal analysis are consistent with our
long-term business mix, which trends toward smaller and recurring work.

Some of our biggest opportunities may come from a new set of clients in the
alternative energy sector. To that end, ENGlobal has formed alliances with key
alternative energy technology providers and project developers. If these
potential projects are funded, ENGlobal would be positioned to support the
design/construction and operation of multiple facilities. Two particular areas
where we have alliances are: (1) the production of bio-diesel, and (2) various
gasification technologies, such as the gasification of refuse derived fuel. In
addition, the project plans are consistent with the Obama Administration's new
energy policy, which provides significant support for all renewable and
sustainable forms of energy.

As previously reported, ENGlobal is in the process of relocating our control
systems fabrication shop to a larger, better equipped 80,000 square foot
facility in Houston. This move is required due to the increased amount of work
we have booked to fabricate remote instrument enclosures and analyzer systems.
We have also now occupied a new 52,000 square-foot engineering and
administration building in Beaumont. The Beaumont move consolidates space and
provides for improved working conditions for the staff, which we anticipate will
result in greater levels of efficiency. Most importantly for both facilities ~
we are delivering a statement to our clients that we are optimistic about our
mid- to long-term prospects, and will continue to expand to meet their project
needs.

In summary, 2008 offered excellent financial results. We are hopeful that the
general economic environment for our business will improve throughout 2009.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and my 2,500 fellow employees - to whom we
owe our success - thank you for your investment in ENGlobal.

Sincerely,

/s/ William A. Coskey
