Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements of ENGlobal Corporation (“ENGlobal” or the “Company”) included herein, are unaudited for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly depict the results for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The Company has a Credit Facility with Fleet Capital Corporation (“Fleet”) that consists of a line of credit. The loan agreement positions the Fleet debt as senior to all other debt. The line of credit is limited to $15,000,000, subject to borrowing base restrictions. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. The outstanding balance on the line of credit as of March 31, 2004 was $5,876,000. The Credit Facility matures on June 30, 2005. The interest rate was lowered to prime on March 1, 2004 from prime plus one-quarter of one percent (4.0 percent at March 31, 2004) by qualifying for the Rate Reduction Performance Factor after demonstrating compliance with the fixed charge ratio covenant for 12 consecutive calendar months. The commitment fee on the unused line of credit is 0.375 percent. The remaining borrowings available under the line of credit as of March 31, 2004, were $4,940,000 after consideration of the borrowing base limitations and cash timing differences. The Company’s Credit Facility contains covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios, including cumulative fixed charge coverage, debt coverage and specified levels of certain other items.

The Petro-Chem note was paid in full on a discounted basis during April 2004.

Current notes payable include notes that finance commercial insurance on a short-term basis, with a balance of $396,000 and $721,000 as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The notes bear interest of 7.25% and are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $108,000 through July 24, 2004. Also included in current notes payable are notes to Mrs. Senftleber and the Senftleber Family Trust for the acquisition of Senftleber & Associates, L.P. The notes have a balance of $50,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and mature in October 2004.

ENGlobal Corporation

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s acquisition strategy is focused on developing breadth and depth of expertise within the organization. The Company announced that one of its subsidiaries, ENGlobal Technologies, Inc. (“ETI”), acquired certain assets of Tulsa-based Engineering Design Group, Inc. (“EDG”) on January 23, 2004. Beginning February 2004, ENGlobal included the EDG operating results in its financial statements. The Company expects that the acquisition of these assets will enhance its capabilities related to various government and public sector facilities. EDG’s most active sector is the Automated Fuel Handling Systems that serve the U.S. military. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued two $150,000 notes bearing interest at 5% maturing in 2008 and a $2.5 million five-year contingent promissory note as part of an earn-out structure based on revenues of the EDG operations over five years. There was no cash or stock consideration paid as a result of the transaction.

The consideration given for the acquisition of Engineering Design Group approximated the fair value of the net acquired assets, therefore no goodwill arose from the transaction. Principal payments on the contingent promissory note of $2.5 million will be applied to goodwill.

The unaudited proforma combined historical results, as if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2003 and 2004, respectively are as follows:

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is no longer amortized over its estimated useful life, but rather will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment. Goodwill has been allocated to the lowest reporting units, the engineering and systems segments. The test for impairment is made on each of these reporting units. No impairment of goodwill has been incurred to date. However, the recent performance of the systems segment may give rise to an impairment during 2004. The Company cannot predict at this time the amount of any such impairment.

The Company accounts for its stock option plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the Company’s plan were equal to or greater than the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, issued in December 2002.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion And Analysis And Results Of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders, 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 with the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This information includes, with 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; commitments and contingent liabilities; and 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. When used in this report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company and its subsidiaries, and management, identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties set forth with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the specific risk factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003 with a discussion of the changes in financial condition during the first three months of 2004.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

Total Revenue. Total revenue increased by $7,986,000 or 34.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The engineering segment reported a significant increase in sales during the period, while the systems segment reported a decrease (in thousands).

Total revenues in the engineering segment increased by $9,284,000, or 50.7%, due to new contracts and a large co-generation project that began in 2003. This project, staffed out of the Beaumont office, includes revenues resulting from procurement of materials and subcontractors in addition to the engineering labor revenues. Revenues recognized from procurement activities on the large co-generation project during the three months ended March 31, 2004 exceeded $5.6 million. The Beaumont office, our largest office, achieved an increase in labor revenues of $2.1 million, or 32%. The Tulsa and Baton Rouge offices have doubled their revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. However, the Houston office, which services the pipeline industry, continues to under perform due to the poor economic conditions in that business sector, which is over-leveraged and focusing on debt reduction.

The revenues in the systems segment, which represents 10.9% of total revenues, decreased by $1,298,000, or 27.7%, from $4,690,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $3,392,000 for the same period in 2004. This decrease occurred primarily at ENGlobal Systems, Inc. (“ESI”), which experienced a reduction of over $2.4 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The revenue reduction resulted primarily from the conclusion of two large fixed price projects for instrumentation systems for a single client. The Senftleber acquisition in the last quarter of 2003 provided $459,000 in revenues and the EDG acquisition in January 2004 provided $864,000 in revenues to partially offset the loss of revenues at ESI.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Engineering gross profit improved from $3,123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $3,641,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, due primarily to the higher revenue levels and our better utilization of manpower. Presented below is the gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2004 by segment compared to the same period last year with the percentage of revenue (in thousands).

The gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased for engineering from 17.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to 13.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to an increase in material and subcontract procurement activities that provide little or no profit.

The systems segment gross profit decreased by $284,000, or 35.3%, from $804,000 to $520,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenue declined from 17.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to 15.3% for the same period in 2004. This decline in gross profit as a percent of revenue was primarily due to competitive market pressures on contract pricing and budget over-runs on several projects at ESI. The Senftleber and EDG acquisitions contributed $276,000 in gross profit to the systems segment in 2004.

Selling, General, and Administrative. Expenses related to selling, general and administrative, including depreciation and amortization increased $427,000 or 14.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. A majority of the increase resulted from the changes within the systems segment. The acquisitions of EDG in January 2004 and Senftleber in November 2003 and increases in ETI’s expenses were partially offset by reductions at ESI and ENGlobal Constant Power. EDG’s total selling, general and administrative expenses, including depreciation and amortization, were $312,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The office space in Beaumont was expanded and remodeled causing an increase in the facilities expenses, primarily rent, of $40,000. Leasehold improvements related to the remodeling were completed at the end of 2003, increasing depreciation expense by $30,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period last year. The relocation and expansion of the Tulsa office during 2003, increased its facilities expenses by $36,000 for the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003

Operating Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, operating income decreased from $1,045,000. to $852,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in the engineering segment’s revenues resulted in an improvement in that segment’s contribution to operating income by $350,000 for the first three months of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The systems segment, however, experienced losses in virtually every entity except Senftleber, which contributed $67,000 to the first quarter 2004 operating income. The gross profit for the systems segment was not sufficient to cover the fixed selling, general, and administrative expenses for that segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have satisfied our cash requirements through operations and borrowings under a revolving line of credit with Fleet (the “Credit Facility”). As of March 31, 2004, we had working capital of $7.9 million. Long-term debt on March 31, 2004 was $8.5 million, including $5.9 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and other long-term debt of $2.6 million.

The Fleet loan agreement positions the Fleet debt as senior to all other debt with the Credit Facility limited to $15,000,000, subject to borrowing base restrictions. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. At March 31, 2004, $5,876,000 was outstanding on the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures on June 30, 2005. The interest rate on the line of credit was lowered to prime on March 1, 2004 from prime plus one-quarter of one percent by qualifying for the Rate Reduction Performance Factor after demonstrating compliance with the fixed charge ratio covenant for 12 consecutive calendar months. The commitment fee on the unused line of credit is 0.375 percent. The remaining borrowings available under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2004 amounted to $4,940,000 after consideration of the borrowing base limitations. Our loan agreement places limits on our ability to borrow based on the concentration of sales to individual clients. The eligible accounts receivable balance of any one customer (except Exxon Mobil) may not exceed 20% of

11

Table of Contents

all net eligible accounts. Exxon Mobil’s concentration balance is limited to 30% of all net eligible accounts. As of March 31, 2004, there was no reduction in our borrowing capability due to the concentration limit.

The Company’s Credit Facility contains covenants, which require the maintenance of certain ratios, including cumulative fixed charge coverage and debt coverage and specified levels of certain other items. The Company must meet all covenants through the maturity date of the Credit Facility. The Company is currently in compliance and management believes it will remain in compliance with all loan covenants, although no assurances can be given regarding such compliance in future periods.

We have five long-term notes payable that are subordinate to the Credit Facility with remaining balances as follows:

The Petro-Chem note was paid in full on a discounted basis in April 2004.

As of March 31, 2004, management believes the Company’s cash position is sufficient to meet its working capital requirements. EBITDA, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1,145,000. Any future decrease in demand for the Company’s services or products would reduce the availability of funds through operations.

Cash Flow

Operating activities provided net cash totaling $560,000 and $2,811,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects the increase and timing of payments of accounts payable for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003 offset by a reduction of accounts receivable in 2004.

Investing activities used cash totaling $321,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $171,000 for the same period in 2003. The Company’s investing activities during the period ended March 31, 2004 were for the purchase of property and equipment. No cash or stock consideration was paid as a result of the EDG acquisition.

Financing activities used cash totaling $235,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $2,680,000 for the same period in 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, borrowings on the Credit Facility were $36.6 million and payments on the Credit Facility were $36.3 million. Repayments of long-term and short-term debt were $554,000 during the first quarter of 2004.

The Company believes that it has available the necessary cash required for the next 12 months. Cash and the availability of cash could be materially restricted if circumstances prevent the timely internal processing of invoices, if amounts billed are not collected within 90 days of the original invoice date, if project mix shifts from cost reimbursable to fixed costs contracts during significant periods of growth, or if ENGlobal is not able to meet the monthly covenants of the Credit Facility. If any such events occur, the Company would be forced to consider alternative financing options.

Asset Management

The Company’s cash flow from operations has been affected primarily by the timing of its collection of trade accounts receivable. The Company typically sells its products and services on short-term credit terms and seeks to minimize its credit risk by performing credit checks and conducting its own collection efforts. The Company had net trade accounts receivable of $18.1 million and $20.2 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The number of days’ sales outstanding in trade accounts receivable was 56 days and 54 days, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

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. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our obligations under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2004, $5,876,000 had been borrowed under the Credit Facility, accruing interest at 4.0% per year, excluding amortization of prepaid financing costs. A 10% increase in the short-term borrowing rates on the Credit Facility outstanding as of March 31, 2004 would be 40 basis points. Such an increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $24,000, assuming the amount of debt outstanding remains constant.

The analysis does not consider the effects this movement may have on other variables including changes in revenue volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates. The actions that management would take in response to such a change are also not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results could well be different than the sensitivity effects discussed above.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

With the participation of management, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer reviewed and evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and have concluded that they are effective as of March 31, 2004, in providing reasonable assurance that such information is identified and communicated on a timely basis. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls for financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including discovery of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls that would require corrective action. In connection with new federal and American Stock Exchange rules, the Company is currently in the process of further reviewing and documenting its disclosure controls and procedures, including its internal accounting controls, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently a party to the following legal proceedings that have been reserved for, are covered by insurance, or that, if determined adversely to us individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material affect on the Company’s results of operations.

Engineered Carbons, Inc. filed a claim in 2000 against the Company in the 60^th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, alleging failure of contractual performance purportedly caused by faulty design. The claim is covered by the Company’s errors and omissions insurance. The Company has further reserved the amount of its deductible under such insurance. This litigation remains pending and is in the discovery phase. Engineered Carbons has yet to formally specify the relief it is seeking in the litigation. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

During 2003, the Company, its subsidiaries, and more than 40 other parties were named defendants in several petitions for damages filed in various district courts in Louisiana (East Baton Rouge, Calcasieu, Iberville, Ascension, and Orleans Parishes) on behalf of former employees of Barnard and Burk, Inc. The plaintiffs, who allege exposure to asbestos during the course of their employment, were employees of Barnard and Burk, Inc. during a period covering the late 1950’s through the early 1980’s at facilities located within the State of Louisiana. In 1994, AMEC Engineering, Inc. assigned the trade name “Barnard and Burk” to RPM Engineering, Inc. along with selected assets. No liabilities were acquired by RPM. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ENGlobal Engineering, Inc., formerly known as Petrocon Engineering, Inc., acquired RPM (along with the “Barnard and Burk” trade name) in 1996 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Because Petrocon acquired only the “Barnard and Burk” trade name, and none of its liabilities, the Company is seeking to be extricated from the suits via summary judgment. The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
