Management's Assessment
Mark Hess, ENGlobal's Chief Financial Officer stated: "We have been challenged by the significant decline in oil and gas prices and the resulting drop in our clients' activities. However, during the second and third quarters, the Company has taken significant specific steps to improve revenue generating opportunities, improve gross profit margins, and reduce administrative expenses. Benefits from these recently initiated measures should be realized in the quarters to come as we expect to move towards profitability."

Mr. Hess continued: "Although projects have been taking longer to be awarded, our backlog has increased from last year end and our pipeline is robust. Importantly, ENGlobal continues to generate positive cash flow. The Company's cash position increased from $7.8 million at the end of last year to $14.7 million as of June 25, 2016. We expect that our working capital will be adequate for ongoing operations."

William A. Coskey, P.E., Chairman and CEO of ENGlobal added: "Given our debt free balance sheet and diverse mix of business, ENGlobal remains well positioned to successfully navigate through the current industry environment. As stated before, ENGlobal has been using the current downturn to invest in our business through the addition of highly experienced project and business development professionals. As a direct result of these actions, the differentiated offerings under development have the potential to positively transform our business over time. We remain committed to realizing ENGlobal's full potential, and increasing shareholder value over the long term."
