ENGlobal Announces Expansion of Its Department of Defense Contract

HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENGlobal (Nasdaq:ENG), a leading provider of energy-related engineering and automation services, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, ENGlobal Government Services, Inc. based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been awarded an additional delivery order on one of its existing multi-year contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense. The value of the award to ENGlobal from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic is estimated to be approximately $7.0 million.

As previously reported in July 2012, ENGlobal was awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), cost-plus/fixed-fee contract for technical and maintenance services for automated tank gauging and automated fuel handling equipment (AFHE). Under the scope of the new delivery order, ENGlobal expects to perform engineering and design services to maintain, repair, and/or rebuild the fuel handling equipment of the Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Command Center in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

"We are successfully being awarded a steady mix of business, including this delivery order by the U.S. Department of Defense," said Mr. William A. Coskey, P.E., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ENGlobal. "The Company is focused on improving the profit mix of its operations and maintaining overhead discipline. We are excited about our growth potential after recent divestitures, together with select project opportunities. We believe this strategy, plus our strong financial condition, puts us in a good competitive position going forward."

Commentary and Notes: We will soon see the 3Q for ENG and how the above comments relate. This is a small but a positive contract addition.

ENGlobal Announces First Universal Master Control Station(TM) Installation Patent-Pending, Vendor-Independent Subsea Control System 

HOUSTON, Oct 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- ENGlobal Corporation, a leading provider of energy-related engineering and automation services, announced today that its first patent-pending Universal Master Control Station(TM) (UMCS(TM)) has been successfully installed on an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico for a major international oil and gas company. The UMCS(TM) provides a standardized interface between industry available subsea production systems and topsides production facilities.

"We are pleased to reach this significant milestone and look forward to pending deployments of the UMCS(TM) technology," said William A. Coskey, P.E., ENGlobal's Chief Executive Officer. "ENGlobal intends to utilize the UMCS(TM) platform as the basis for further subsea controls integration projects, including hydraulic power and electrical systems. As a Subsea Controls Integrator (SCI), we offer added value to our customers by utilizing our execution skills to manage technically complex subsea projects."

The UMCS(TM) is a control station used primarily to monitor and control subsea production equipment, with features including:

-- Integration of multiple subsea equipment vendors within a single master control station;

-- Operable in new or existing subsea production/injection areas;

-- Scalable object-based programming software utilizing off-the-shelf commercial hardware;

-- Standardized interface to subsea communication units, distributed control systems, electrical power units, and hydraulic power units; and

-- Easily configurable operational graphics, security protection, interlocks, and shutdown sequences tailored via the UMCS Client Configuration Tool(TM).

As previously reported, the UMCS(TM) has been in development since 2006, with coordination between ENGlobal, its client and leading providers of subsea equipment and services. The Company acquired the subsea control system technology - and initiated its U.S. patent process - in 2010 in order to expand into the active offshore upstream market.

Here is a labor lawsuit filed against ENGlobal:

I am familiar with the attorney filing the suit. My advice is to question both sides of the case. Amplification is endemic in the legal world.

Item 8.01 Other Events
Notice from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department that ENGlobal Corporation has regained compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)

As previously reported, on October 3, 2012, ENGlobal Corporation ("the Registrant") received a letter from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department ("NASDAQ") notifying the Registrant that for the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of the Registrant's common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), (the "October Letter").

On April 16, 2013, the NASDAQ approved the Registrant's application to list its common stock on the Capital Market and was granted an additional 180 calendar day period, or until September 30, 2013, to regain compliance.

On July 19, 2013, the Registrant received a letter from NASDAQ notifying the Registrant that since the closing bid price of the Registrant's common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive days since the date of the October Letter, the Registrant has regained compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and NASDAQ now considers the matter closed.

-------------------------

Judging by the way the stock has surged in volume on Thursday 7/11 and the price spiked to $1.54 I would say an announcement is forthcoming.

Looks like the news released today, 7/16, was a partial sale of ENG assets to Furmanite America. Opportunities will be present for all. Watch how the leaders react.

Good luck to everyone.
