ENGLOBAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of ENGlobal Corporation (which may be referred to as "ENGlobal," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company consolidates all of its subsidiaries' financial results, and significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, have been prepared from the books and records of the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the case of the condensed balance sheet as of December 28, 2013, 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. 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2013, included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has assessed subsequent events through the date of filing of these condensed consolidated 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform the presentation to report discontinued operations (refer to Note 2) and to conform continuing operations of notes receivables and long term leases to current presentation.

A summary of our critical accounting policies is disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are further described under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Each of our quarters is comprised of 13 weeks, which includes two 4-week months and one 5-week month (4-4-5 calendar quarter).
 
NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 2, 2012, the Company divested its Land and Right-of-Way division of its Field Solutions segment to Steele & Company, LLC.  On January 3, 2013, the Company completed the divestiture of the Inspection division of its Field Solutions segment to a subsidiary of Furmanite Corporation. 

The operations of the Field Solutions segment (and the smaller Electrical Services division) have been classified as discontinued operations and accordingly, are presented as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The results of the discontinued operations are shown on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes" for the nine months ended September 28, 2013. There was no impact from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 28, 2013 or the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014.  Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 is shown below (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 3 – DISPOSAL OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

On August 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its Gulf Coast engineering and in-plant operations to a subsidiary of Furmanite Corporation. The total value of the transaction to the Company was $18 million, consisting primarily of $15 million of cash and a $3 million promissory note issued at 4% interest with a Furmanite Corporation guarantee.  The transaction resulted in a $721,000 gain on the sale of these operations.  The Company used most of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay advances under its previous credit facility.  As a result of this transaction, approximately 900 employees transferred from the Company to Furmanite.  In conjunction with this sale, the Company reduced its corporate selling, general and administrative expenses to support ongoing continuing operations.  The impact of the sale of these operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and the comparable period in 2013 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Aspen note bears interest at 6% per annum, and was due and payable in September 2011. The Steele note bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable in four annual installments beginning November 1, 2013. This 2013 payment was not made and the Company faces challenges in collecting the note due to the terms of a subordination agreement with Steele’s lender. The SLE judgment is still being held by the court pending the outcome of continuing litigation (see “Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2013). The Furmanite notes are two separate four year notes, respectively dated January 1, 2013 and August 30, 2013, bearing interest at 5% and 4% per annum, payable in annual installments beginning January 1, 2014 and September 1, 2014 and maturing January 2, 2017 and September 1, 2017.  The Company believes it is adequately reserved.

Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recorded primarily using the percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method. 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. To manage unknown risks, management may use contingency amounts to increase the estimated costs, therefore lowering the earned revenues until the risks are better identified and quantified or have been mitigated. We currently have $2.9 million in contingency amounts as of September 27, 2014 compared to $3.6 million as of December 28, 2013. Losses on contracts are recorded in full as they are identified.

The Company recognizes service revenue as soon as the services are performed. For clients that we consider higher risk, due to past payment history or history of not providing written work authorizations, we have deferred revenue recognition until we receive either a written authorization or a payment. We currently have $1.1 million in deferred revenue as of September 27, 2014 compared to $0.1 million as of December 28, 2013. This deferred revenue represents work on not to exceed contracts that has been performed but has not been billed and has not been booked in revenue due to the Company’s revenue recognition policies as the work was performed outside the contracted amount without obtaining proper work order changes. It is uncertain as to whether these revenues will eventually be recognized by the Company or the proceeds collected. The costs associated with these billings have been expensed as incurred.

The effective tax rates for the three months and nine months periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 were 7.3% and a negative 9.4%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance placed against our deferred tax assets and state income taxes.

NOTE 7 – LINE OF CREDIT AND LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITIES

Line of Credit Facility

On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into a three year Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Regions Bank (“Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to extend credit to the Company in the form of revolving loans of up to the lesser of $10.0 million (the "Commitment") or a defined Borrowing Base. The Loan Agreement includes a sub-facility for standby and / or trade letters of credit of up to $2.5 million. This Loan Agreement will mature on September 16, 2017. There were no loans outstanding under this Loan Agreement as of September 27, 2014.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial, affirmative and negative covenants affecting its businesses and operations, including:
·  
The Company will not be party to mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, reorganizations or similar transactions.
·  
The Company will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan Agreement).
·  
The Company will not declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution on any shares of common or preferred stock or make any cash payment to repurchase or otherwise retire any common or preferred stock.
·  
The Company will maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00.  
·  
The Company will not permit capital expenditures during any fiscal year to exceed $3.5 million.

Any loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Index Rate plus 2.25%.  If the loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan, then such loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (defined as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, (b) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, or (c) a per annum rate equal to LIBOR determined with respect to an interest period of one month plus 1.00%) plus 1.25%.

Also on September 16, 2014, the Company terminated its previous credit facility with PNC Bank. There were no loans outstanding under that facility on that date.  See “Note 9 - Credit Facilities” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the material terms of the PNC credit facility.
 
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.

 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, all with standard self-insured retentions/deductibles. The Company also provides health insurance to its employees (including vision and dental), and is partially self-funded for these claims. Provisions for expected future payments are accrued based on the Company's experience, and specific stop loss levels provide protection for the Company. The Company believes it has adequate reserves for the self-funded portion of its insurance policies. The Company is 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 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 28, 2013, 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 condensed consolidated 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 28, 2013.

Overview

The Company has experienced a significant transformation over the last eighteen months. This transformation has allowed us to focus on our project execution, our client relationships, our cost structure and our employees. Additionally, the divestiture of the Gulf Coast business in August of 2013 has changed our mix of business from largely downstream customers to more mid-stream and up-stream customers, which allow us to operate under historically higher margin contracts. As a result we have been able to improve gross margins in both of our remaining segments, hire and retain our staff and control overhead expenses. We have divested our non-core business units, become virtually debt free, entered into a new multi-year credit facility providing flexibility and returned to profitability. We are now a smaller company with two operating segments; one offering multidiscipline engineering services (“EPCM”) and the other offering automation services to our clients. Both segments primarily serve the energy industry. In short, we have refocused, shrunk and are now growing again as evidenced by the following comparisons to last year.

The following are certain key operating statistics for the last four quarters. Because the Company has come through a significant change, these statistics may be helpful in analyzing our ongoing business (in thousands):

ENGLOBAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Continuing Operations

The Company recognizes service revenue when the services are performed. The majority of the Company's engineering services have historically been provided through time-and-material contracts while a majority of the Company's engineered automation system sales are earned on fixed-price contracts. 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 change 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. Segment operating SG&A expense includes management, business development and staff compensation, office costs such as rents and utilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, bad debt 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 all segments of the Company.

ENGLOBAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Revenue - Overall, our revenue for the three and nine month periods decreased from last year due to the sale of the Gulf Coast EPCM business in August of 2013. Excluding the Gulf Coast EPCM business, combined revenues for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 were $27.0 million and $81.0 million, respectively, an increase of 17.0% from $23.0 million and 26.8% from $63.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively.

Revenue from the automation segment increased 27.9% to $14.6 million and 38.0% to $43.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively, as compared to $11.4 million and $31.3 million for the comparable periods last year. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (‘CPC”) project added $5.9 million and $15.5 million in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 compared to $6.3 million and $14.2 million in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013. Automation revenues increased as a result of strong customer relationship development and a general increase in demand for our integration services. We believe our state of the art facility and the high quality of our work is becoming a differentiating factor for these services.

While revenues from the EPCM segment increased slightly for the three months ended September 27, 2014, revenues increased 16.0% to $37.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 as compared to $32.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2013. This increase reflects the demand created by the current spending levels of our clients on capital improvement and maintenance projects across the domestic energy sectors.

Gross Profit – Overall, gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 was $6.1 million and $18.0 million, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively from the comparable periods last year. Excluding the Gulf Coast EPCM business, gross profit for the three months ended September 27, 2014 was $6.1 million, an increase of 63.0% from $3.7 million for the comparable period last year. Excluding the Gulf Coast EPCM business, gross profit margin was 22.2% for the three months ended September 27, 2014, a substantial increase from the 16.2% gross profit margin for the three months ended September 28, 2013. Excluding the Gulf Coast EPCM business, the gross profit for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 was $18.0 million, an increase of 85.5% from $9.7 million for the comparable period last year. Excluding the Gulf Coast EPCM business, gross profit margin was 22.2% for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, a substantial increase from the 15.2% gross profit margin for the three months ended September 28, 2013.

Gross profit in the automation segment increased 105.8% to $4.5 million for a gross profit margin of 30.8% for the three months ended September 27, 2014 as compared to $2.2 million for a gross profit margin of 19.2% for the three months ended September 28, 2013. Gross profit increased 105% to $11.7 million for a gross profit margin of 27.0% for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 as compared to $5.7 million for a gross profit margin of 18.3% for the three months ended September 28, 2013. Our ability to design, program, and integrate high quality automated systems in a state of the art facility allows us to attract higher value projects.

Gross profit in the EPCM segment was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 and gross profit margin for both periods was 13.0%. Revenues and gross margin for the current quarter were impacted by the down time associated with the transition from completed projects into new projects. For the nine months ended September 27, 2014 gross profit in the EPCM segment increased 58.1% to $6.3 million for a gross profit margin of 16.6% as compared to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 with a gross profit margin of 12.2%. Improved utilization of our billable employees and improved project execution drove the increase in gross margin in the current period.

Selling, General and Administrative – Overall, our SG&A expenses decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 27, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2013.  Of this decline $0.7 million was direct selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale of our Gulf Coast EPCM business. Overall, our SG&A expenses decreased $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2013.  Of this decline, $2.8 million was direct selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale of our Gulf Coast EPCM business. The rest of the decrease is due to SG&A expenses no longer needed to support the business sold along with continued monitoring of SG&A costs resulting from the cost reduction initiative implemented in the fourth quarter of 2012. We believe that our current level of SG&A expenditures will support our current organization and provide a strong base for future growth.

Interest Expense, net - Interest expense decreased $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively, due to the reduced amounts outstanding on our previous credit facility as a result of repaying advances related to the sale of our Gulf Coast EPCM business.

Tax Expense – The effective tax rates for the three months and nine months periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 were 7.3% and a negative 9.4%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance placed against our deferred tax assets and state income taxes.

ENGLOBAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company defines liquidity as its ability to pay liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated funds and up to $10 million of availability under the Loan Agreement discussed under “Line of Credit Facility” below. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement as of September 27, 2014 or under our previous credit facility as of December 28, 2013. We had cash of $5.7 million and $4.0 million at September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. Our working capital as of September 27, 2014 was $18.8 million versus $11.3 million as of December 28, 2013. We believe our current cash on hand, availability under the Loan Agreement and our other working capital is sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.
 
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. Additionally, we have a significant receivable outstanding on our CPC project. Actions outside of our control may hinder the collection of these receivables. 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $3.2 million in net cash during the nine months ended September 27, 2014, compared with net cash provided by operations of $3.5 million during the comparable period in 2013.  The primary driver of our cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 was our net income of $5.4 million offset by increases in working capital requirements resulting from the increased revenue. The cash generated in 2013 was primarily due to the liquidation of the working capital of the Field Solutions segment that the Company retained.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash totaling $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, and provided $22.9 million for the comparable period in 2013 due to the sale of the inspection division of our Field Solutions segment, the sale of our Gulf Coast operations and the release of the restricted cash collateralizing our performance guarantee that was eliminated on our CPC project. The amount in 2014 represents funds used to purchase replacement computer equipment.  Future investing activities are anticipated to range from $0.5 million to $1.5 million annually for the next two years for maintenance purposes, in principal, and include replacement computer equipment, capital additions for leasehold improvements and technical applications. The Company uses vendor leasing programs when prudent to keep technology up-to-date on its software and equipment. The Loan Agreement limits our annual capital expenditures to $3.5 million annually over the next three years.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used cash totaling $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and $25.8 million during the nine months ended September 28, 2013. The use of cash during the nine months ended September 27, 2014 was for payments on capital leases. During the nine months ended September 28, 2013, we used the funds generated by liquidating the working capital of the sold Field Solutions segment, the proceeds from the sale of the segment and the restricted cash that was released to repay our borrowings under our previous credit facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Line of Credit Facility

On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into a three year Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Regions Bank (“Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to extend credit to the Company in the form of revolving loans of up to the lesser of $10.0 million (the "Commitment") or the Borrowing Base. The Loan Agreement includes a sub-facility for standby and / or trade letters of credit up to an amount not to exceed $2.5 million. Also on September 16, 2014, the Company terminated its previous credit facility with PNC Bank (See “Note 9 – Credit Facilities” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the material terms of the PNC credit facility).  There were no loans outstanding under this Loan Agreement as of September 27, 2014.

Borrowing Base: The Borrowing Base is an amount equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the total amount of Eligible Approved Cost Plus Contract Amounts, plus (b) the lesser of (i) 85% of the total amount of Eligible Approved Fixed Price Contract Accounts or (ii) $2,500,000, plus (c) the lesser of (i) 85% of the total amount of Eligible Approved Government Contract Accounts or (ii) $1,000,000, plus (d) the lesser of (i) 75% of the total amount of Eligible Unbilled Accounts or (ii) total revenues from all Accounts over the preceding 30-day period, provided that to the extent that any Eligible Unbilled Accounts consist of Accounts that would be Eligible Approved Government Contracts and be included in provision (c) above if billed there shall be a limitation in eligibility thereof under this provision (d) of $800,000, plus (e) 75% of the total amount of Eligible Costs in Excess of Billings, and minus (f) such amounts as may be required by Lender to be reserved at any time and from time to time.

Interest: Any loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Index Rate plus 2.25%.  If the loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan, then such loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (defined as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, (b) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, or (c) a per annum rate equal to LIBOR determined with respect to an interest period of one month plus 1.00%) plus 1.25%.

Collateral: All obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected lien against any and all personal property assets of the Company (other than certain excluded property).

Term: All loans and all other obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement shall be payable in full on September 14, 2017, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

Covenants: The Loan Agreement requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its businesses and operations, including:
·  
The Company will not be party to mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, reorganizations or similar transactions.
·  
The Company will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan Agreement).
·  
The Company will not declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution on any shares of common or preferred stock or make any cash payment to repurchase or otherwise retire any common or preferred stock.
·  
The fixed charge coverage ratio must not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.  
·  
The Company will not permit capital expenditures during any fiscal year to exceed $3.5 million.

The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants of the Loan Agreement as of the date of this Report. For a description of the material terms of the Loan Agreement, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 17, 2014.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes 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, to a minor extent, currency exchange rates.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our obligations under the Loan Agreement. As of September 27, 2014, we had zero borrowings under the Loan Agreement.
 
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.

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 September 27, 2014, 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 September 27, 2014, 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 September 27, 2014, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company 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. Certain specific matters are discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe, as of the date of this filing, all such active proceedings and claims of substance that have been asserted against the Company 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.

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 28, 2013, which outlines factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and the additional risk factors below.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013 and below, 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.

Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenue or earnings.   As of September 27, 2014, our backlog was $79.4 million, including $36.4 million for the CPC Project. Other than the CPC Project, substantially all of this backlog is expected to be completed in 2014 and 2015.  We expect to complete a majority of the CPC Project backlog in 2015. 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 and the revenue and profits that we actually earn.

The CPC Project, which represents a significant portion of our current business, involves a pipeline expansion project in Russia and Kazakhstan along the Caspian Sea, and we may be adversely affected by operational and political risks in that geographic region that are greater than in the United States.  The CPC Project is an engineering, procurement, and commissioning services agreement with the Caspian Pipeline Consortium that is expected to have a total value of $81 million and a value of $36.4 million over the remaining life of the contract.  This contract involves a pipeline expansion project in Russia and Kazakhstan along the Caspian Sea.  This region, specifically Russia, has undergone significant political, economic and social change in recent years, and the risk of unforeseen changes in this region may be greater than in the United States.  For example, significant unrest in the Russian/Ukranian border region could escalate into further armed conflict and result in additional economic sanctions by the U.S., United Nations or other countries against Russia.  In addition, changes in laws or regulations, including with respect to payment of service providers, taxation, transportation, information technology, data transmission and the Internet, or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, whether caused by a change in government or otherwise, could materially adversely affect our ability to perform under the CPC Project and, thus, our business, operating results and financial condition.  While we do not believe that the possibility of further armed conflict with respect to the Russian/Ukrainian border region will affect the region in which we perform services under the CPC Project, conducting our international operations through the CPC Project subjects us to other risks that we do not generally face in the United States. These include:
 
   
· difficulties in managing the staffing of our international operations, including hiring and retaining qualified employees and transportation of employees to and from the region;
   
· difficulties and increased expense introducing corporate policies and controls in our international operations;
   
· increased expense to comply with foreign laws and legal standards, including laws that regulate pricing and promotion activities and the import and export of information technology, which can be difficult to monitor and are often subject to change;
   
· increased expense to comply with U.S. laws that apply to foreign operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations;
   
· longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and
   
· political, social and economic instability.
 
 
18

 
The occurrence of one or more of these events could negatively affect our operations under the CPC Project and, consequently, our operating results. Further, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that the resources required to perform our services under the CPC Project in these other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability.
