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 30, 2017, included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, and in the case of the condensed balance sheet as of December 30, 2017 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
In May 2014, the Financial Statements Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This new revenue recognition standard became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard allows for several transition methods. We adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2017 utilizing the modified retrospective method. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this standard. See Note 3 “Critical Accounting Policies Update” within these consolidated financial statements for additional information.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This amendment addresses how certain specified cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. This guidance became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard had an immaterial impact to our consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
| 6 |
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), that will amend the accounting standards for leases. This new standard retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases but the primary change is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases on the lessee’s balance sheet and certain aspects of lease accounting have been simplified. This new standard requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. We have very little lease exposure and, therefore, we believe the impact this pronouncement will have on our financial statements and related disclosures will be immaterial.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This amendment removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. When adopted, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This pronouncement is effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE
Our critical accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 – Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements” within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting Topic 606 are discussed below:
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 of revenue recognition to measure progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we consume the costs on the contracts. Therefore, revenues and estimated profits are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
| 7 |
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 require 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.
| 8 |
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 is recorded. 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. See Note 6 – Segment Information for disaggregated revenue information.
Incremental Costs – Our incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consists of sales commission and proposal costs, are reviewed and those costs that are immaterial to the financial statements are expensed as they occur. Those costs that are deemed to be material to the contract are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance. We classify incremental costs as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of incremental costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, net, respectively in our consolidated balance sheet. We had no amortization expense related to incremental costs in the second quarter of 2018 or 2017.
NOTE 4 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated financial statements:

Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside to collateralize a letter of credit required by a customer. This letter of credit expired on December 31, 2017.
| 9 |
NOTE 5 – CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Our contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue. The noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Costs, estimated earnings and billings on uncompleted contracts consisted of the following at June 30, 2018 and December 30, 2017:
| June 30, 2018 | December 30, 2017 | |||||||

NOTE 6 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our segments are strategic business units that offer different services and products and therefore require different marketing and management strategies. During 2017, ENGlobal changed the reporting structure within the Company by placing an operational leader in charge of its engineering offices and a separate operational leader in charge of its automation offices, including the office that contracts with government agencies. The operating performance is regularly reviewed with these two operational leaders, 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 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.
We have revised our segment reporting to reflect our current management approach and recast prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation.
Effective December 31, 2017, we adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method as discussed in “Note 2 – Accounting Standards.” The presentation of our business segments, including corporate, set forth in these consolidated financial statements reflect these changes.
| 10 |
Revenues, operating income, and identifiable assets for each segment are set forth in the following table. The amount identified as Corporate includes those activities that are not allocated to the operating segments and includes costs related to business development, executive functions, finance, accounting, safety, human resources and information technology that are not specifically identifiable with the segments.

NOTE 7 – 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 2014 and Texas margins tax returns prior to 2014 are closed. Generally, the applicable statues of limitations are three to four years from their filings.
The Company recorded a $2 thousand income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a $392 thousand income tax expense for the three months ended July 1, 2017. No tax benefit is provided on the book loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 because of the full valuation allowance on any unrecognized benefit.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 0.0% as compared to -78.0% for the three months ended July 1, 2017. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the valuation allowances related to the expected unrealized deferred tax asset generated by the current year benefit.

NOTE 8 – 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), and are 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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, 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. 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 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the specific risk factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 30, 2017.
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 engineering and professional services principally to the energy industry through two segments: Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (“EPCM”), which includes fabrication, and Automation engineering and integrated products (“Automation”).
The extension of our service offerings into fabrication has positioned us in our market place as a vertically integrated service provider capable of engineering, mechanical fabrication, systems integration and automation. We believe this will allow us to differentiate our company from most of our competitors as a full service provider, thereby reducing our clients’ coordination of multiple vendors and improving control of their 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 are making strides implementing the multi-year strategic initiative we began last fall. We have realigned our internal Automation segment reporting structure and our business development focus. We are now focusing our efforts on selling our heritage engineering and design capabilities combined with modular fabrication and automation expertise to deliver engineered modular solutions to our current and future clients.
| 14 |
We have positioned ourselves as a vertically integrated supplier in order to take advantage of growth opportunities, and identified the systems for which our capabilities are best applied toward modular project execution. A majority of these opportunities are expected to be in all sectors of the energy industry. One result of our positioning is that our proposal pipeline has continued to increase, as we are now focused on selling complete fabricated modular systems as opposed our past focus of primarily selling consultant man-hours. Many of these proposals have not yet been awarded and have exceeded our expected award timing, which would imply that many of our customers will release awards when they are more comfortable that commodity prices have stabilized at a sufficient level.
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 all have negatively impacted our 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 engaged B. Riley FBR, Inc. as its exclusive financial advisor during this process. 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.
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 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are further disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as a result of adopting Topic 606 are discussed in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations
In the course of providing our 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 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. Historically, the majority of our EPCM revenue was provided through time-and-material contracts. However, due to our focus on providing engineered modular solutions approximately 50% of our EPCM revenue was provided from fixed-price contracts during the second quarter of 2018.
Segment operating SG&A expense includes management, business development 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, legal and information technology which are unrelated to specific projects but which are incurred to support the company’s activities.

Revenue – Revenue decreased $2.1 million to $13.9 million from $16.0 million, or a decrease of 13.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. Revenue from the EPCM segment increased $0.7 million to $6.6 million from $5.9 million, or an increase of 11.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. As a result of our multi-year strategic initiative, increased volume from our engineered modular solutions provided revenue of $2.7 million partially offset by reduced volume from our other EPCM services, specifically the completion of one project in 2017 representing a reduction of $1.4 million. Revenue from the Automation segment decreased $2.8 million to $7.2 million from $10.0 million, or a decrease of 27.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. This decrease is driven largely by reduced material purchases in our government services group of $1.5 million and a reduction due to the completion of the CPC project in 2017 of $0.9 million.
Revenue decreased $1.4 million to $27.0 million from $28.4 million, or a decrease of 4.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. Revenue from the EPCM segment increased $0.2 million to $11.7 million from $11.5 million, or an increase of 1.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. As a result of our multi-year strategic initiative, increased volume from our engineered modular solutions provided revenue of $3.5 million partially offset by reduced volume from our other EPCM services, specifically the completion of one project in 2017 representing a reduction of $2.5 million. Revenue from the Automation segment decreased $1.6 million to $15.3 million from $16.9 million, or a decrease of 9.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. This decrease is driven by reduced material purchases in our government services group of $1.1 million and a reduction due to the completion of the CPC project in 2017 of $2.0 million, partially offset by new awards which added $1.5 million in revenues.
Gross Profit – Gross profit margin increased to 16.2% from 15.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. Gross profit for the EPCM segment increased $0.5 million to $1.3 million from $0.8 million and its gross profit margin increased to 20.0% from 14.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increased volume from our engineered modular solutions of $1.0 million which also contributed 4.5% to the increased gross profit margin. Gross profit for the Automation segment decreased $0.8 million to $0.9 million from $1.7 million and its gross profit margin declined to 12.8% from 16.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. This decline in gross profit is driven largely by reduced material purchases in our government services group of $0.5 million and a reduction due to the completion of the CPC project in 2017 of $0.3 million. Gross profit margin was further impacted by project reversals that contributed 3.9% to the margin decline.
Gross profit margin decreased to 13.5% from 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. Gross profit for the EPCM segment increased $0.4 million to $1.7 million from $1.3 million and its gross profit margin increased to 14.9% from 11.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. The increase in gross profit was driven by increased volume from our engineered modular solutions of $1.2 million which also contributed 2.1% to the increased gross profit margin while being partially offset by decreased volume and project reversals. Gross profit for the Automation segment decreased $1.0 million to $1.9 million from $2.9 million and its gross profit margin declined to 12.5% from 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017. This decline in gross profit is driven largely by reduced material purchases in our government services group of $0.5 million and a reduction due to the completion of the CPC project in 2017 of $0.7 million. Gross profit margin was further impacted by project reversals that contributed 2.4% to the margin decline.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Income (Expense) – Overall our SG&A expenses declined by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. During the quarter, we settled all of our outstanding litigation. As a result, we recorded expenses related to this litigation of $0.2 million in SG&A and recorded settlements related to this litigation of $0.4 million in Other Income (Expense). In addition, we recorded the cost of our investment banker of $0.2 million in SG&A during the current quarter. Excluding these non-recurring charges, our SG&A would have decreased by $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. During the second half of 2017, we eliminated several overhead positions and re-negotiated several of our office leases. As a result, our office salaries declined by $0.3 million and facility and office costs declined by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2017. In addition, our depreciation and amortization declined by $0.1 million over the same periods. Our office salaries declined by $0.8 million, facility and office costs declined by $0.2 million and our depreciation and amortization declined by $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2017.
Interest Expense, net - Interest expense is incurred primarily in connection with our insurance financing and our capital leases and has decreased as the balances have decreased. Our current capital leases will expire in the second half of 2018. Therefore, our interest expense has reduced from less than $0.1 million for the six months ended July 1, 2017 to approximately $14 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Tax Expense – The Company recorded a $2 thousand income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a $392 thousand income tax expense for the three months ended July 1, 2017. No tax benefit is provided on the book loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 because of the full valuation allowance on any unrecognized benefit.
Net Loss – Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.0 million, or a $0.1 million increase from a net loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017, primarily as a result of lower gross profit. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2.2 million, or a $0.4 million increase from a net loss of $1.8 million for the six months ended July 1, 2017, primarily as a result of lower gross profit.
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. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and internally generated funds. We had cash and restricted cash of approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2018 and $9.6 million as of December 30, 2017. Our working capital as of June 30, 2018 was $15.0 million versus $16.8 million as of December 30, 2017. We believe our cash on hand, internally generated funds and other working capital are sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and provide us with the funds for near-term growth.
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 (4) we are unable to win new projects that we can perform on a profitable basis. Actions outside of our control may hinder or preclude the collection of these receivables.
| 19 |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used $4.1 million of cash and $3.8 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. The primary drivers of our cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were our operating loss before non-cash expenses of $1.8 million, an increase in trade receivables of $0.8 million and increases of contract assets net of contract liabilities of $2.1 million partially offset by other components of working capital of $0.6 million. The primary drivers of our cash used in operations for the six months ended July 1, 2017 were our operating loss before non-cash expenses of $1.4 million, an increase in trade receivables of $1.0 million and increases of contract assets net of contract liabilities of $0.8 million partially offset by other components of working capital of $0.5 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $51 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to expenditures for property and equipment of $65 thousand partially offset by proceeds from notes receivable of $14 thousand.
Investing activities used cash of $0.5 million for the six months ended July 1, 2017 primarily due to the expenditures for property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The use of cash for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $0.1 million was for the payment of our capital leases obligations. Financing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2017 used $0.1 million for the payment of our capital leases obligations and $0.1 million for the purchase of treasury stock.
Changes in Accounting
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for several transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment reflected in retained earnings. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This new revenue recognition standard became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.
We adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2017 utilizing the modified retrospective method. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this standard.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This amendment addresses how certain specified cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. This guidance became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard had an immaterial impact to our consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.
| 20 |
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), that will amend the accounting standards for leases. This new standard retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases but the primary change is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases on the lessee’s balance sheet and certain aspects of lease accounting have been simplified. This new standard requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. However, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact this pronouncement will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This amendment removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. When adopted, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This pronouncement is effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, capital leases payable and debt obligations. The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts 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, to a minor extent, currency exchange rates.
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 disclosure.
| 21 |
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 June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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. We believe, as of the date of this filing, all such active proceedings and claims of substance that have been asserted against ENGlobal or one or more of its subsidiaries have been adequately allowed for, or are covered by insurance, such that, if determined adversely to the Company, individually or in the aggregate, they would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
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 30, 2017, 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.
We are reviewing strategic alternatives and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying or completing any strategic alternative, that any such strategic alternative will result in additional value for our shareholders or that the process will not have an adverse impact on our business. On April 18, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors had initiated a review of strategic alternatives. These alternatives could include, but are not limited to, 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. There can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in the identification or consummation of any transaction. Our Board of Directors may also determine that our most effective strategy is to continue to effectuate our current business plan. The process of reviewing strategic alternatives may be time consuming and disruptive to our business operations and, if we are unable to effectively manage the process, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We could incur substantial expenses associated with identifying and evaluating potential strategic alternatives. No decision has been made with respect to any transaction and we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify and undertake any transaction that allows our shareholders to realize an increase in the value of their common stock or provide any guidance on the timing of such action, if any.
| 22 |
We also cannot assure you that any potential transaction or other strategic alternative, if identified, evaluated and consummated, will provide greater value to our shareholders than that reflected in the current price of our common stock. Any potential transaction would be dependent upon a number of factors that may be beyond our control, including, but not limited to, market conditions, industry trends, the interest of third parties in our business and the availability of financing to potential buyers on reasonable terms. We do not intend to comment regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives until such time as our Board of Directors has determined the outcome of the process or otherwise has deemed that disclosure is appropriate or required by applicable law. As a consequence, perceived uncertainties related to our future may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and volatility in the market price of our common stock and may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenue or earnings. As of June 30, 2018, our backlog was approximately $24.8 million. We expect a majority of this backlog to be completed in 2018 and 2019. 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 cancellations and adjustments to our backlog are exacerbated by economic conditions, particularly in our chosen area of concentration, the energy industry. The energy industry has experienced a sustained period of low crude oil and natural gas prices which has reduced our clients’ activities in the energy industry.
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 June 30, 2018 we had two projects that had $34 thousand 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.
