To determine the Audit Committee of our Board of Directorsproper revenue recognition method, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end and financial accounting cycle. With effect from January 1, 2017, the Company commenced reporting its financial results on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31st (whethercombined or not in the following calendar year), with interim calendar quarters ending on the Saturday closest to the end of such calendar quarter (whether or not in the following calendar quarter). As such, in calendar year 2017, the first fiscal quarter ended on April 1, 2017, the second fiscal quarter ended on July 1, 2017, the third fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2017, and the fiscal year will end on December 30, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s most recent assessment of underlying facts and circumstances using the most recent information available. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences couldsingle contract should be material.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on our cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the fair value estimates usedestimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, subcontractors’ costs and other direct costs.
Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in accountingtime is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed.
As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $610,368 of remaining performance obligations, of which $498,457 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for business combinations includingwhich work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations.

Trade receivable balances carried by the Company are comprised of accounts from a diverse client base across a broad range of industries and are not collateralized. However, approximately 32% and 35% of the Company’s gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are from California-based projects. The Company does not have any clients individually representing more than 10% of gross revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Furthermore, approximately 57% and 71% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are for public and quasi-public projects. Management continually evaluates the creditworthiness ofrecognized on these and future clients and provides for bad debt reserves as necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, accrued liabilities and debt obligations to meet the definition of financial instruments. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or payment. The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics.

The Company applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwillcontracts as of the acquisition datereporting date. This liability is measuredgenerally classified as current.

There have been no material changes, other than those related to the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets (customer relationships, customer backlog, trade name and non-compete) is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. Generally, the Company engages a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in management’s determination of fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates.  The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

Several factors are considered when determining contingent consideration liabilities as part of the purchase price, including whether (i) the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (ii) the former owners of the acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of other key employees.  The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination.

We review and re-assess the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. The Company measures contingent consideration recognized in connection with business combinations at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3, as defined in the accounting guidance. The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate on the acquisition date and amount paid will be recorded in earnings (see Note 10). Adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in income from operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and simplifies how the amount of an impairment loss is determined. The update is effective for public companies in the beginning of fiscal year 2020 and shall be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The Company has determined there were no changes to its financial statements as a result of the adoption.

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’scompany’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then performing the two-stepCompany may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The two-step impairment test requires a comparisonas the excess of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities associated with a reporting unit, including goodwill, with theunit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. NV5 Global is required to make certain

subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would calculate the implied fair value of its reporting unit goodwill as compared to the carrying value of its reporting unit goodwill to determine the appropriate impairment charge, if any. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on August 1 of each year. The Company historically conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill.

Identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer backlog, customer relationships, finite and indefinite-lived trade names, non-compete agreements, and non-compete agreements.developed technology. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model.

There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the three months ended March 28, 2020.


On August 1, 2019, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Based on the quantitative analyses the Company determined the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2019. Furthermore, there were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2019 through March 28, 2020.

See Note 7,Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information on goodwill and identified intangibles.

expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The standard was applied prospectively and did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 –Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In accordance with the FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, theThe effect of potentially dilutive securities is not considered during periods of loss or if the effect is anti-dilutive.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU clarifies guidance for cash flow classification to reduce current and potential future diversity in practice. The update is effective for public companies in the beginning of fiscal 2018. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. For items that are impractical to apply the amendments retrospectively, they shall be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of this ASU to be material to its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis, which resulted in a decrease in income tax expense of approximately $974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits be presented within the statement of cash flows as an operating activity rather than as a financing activity and excess tax benefits to be excluded from the assumed future proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize, in the balance sheet, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to acustomer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU. In July 2015, FASB voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date to December 31, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. As a result, ASU 2014-09 will become effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The Company has begun its assessment and is evaluating the areas of impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has decided to adopt this standard under the modified retrospective approach. Currently, the Company has identified various revenue types by services, contracts, clients and billings. The Company is reviewing its contracts in the various revenue types in order to isolate those that will be significantly impacted as well as to identify the relevant revenue types for disaggregated disclosure. After the assessment is complete, the Company can estimate potential impacts, if any, of the new standard as well as the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company's consolidated net income, financial position, cash flows, disclosures, information technology systems and internal controls.

Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2017. There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2017 through September 30, 2017.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering, consulting and construction profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. The Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. While management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in aggregate, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, management acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters.

Note13– Income Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 as of January 1, 2017 and retrospectively applied ASU 2015-17 to all periods presented.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company reclassified $2,173 of deferred tax assets from "Current assets" to "Non-current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2017March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2016,28, 2019, the Company had net non-current deferred income tax liabilities of $22,084$51,727 and $6,197,$53,341, respectively. No valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred income tax assets is needed as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as it is more-likely-than-not that the positions will be realized upon settlement. Deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to intangible assets and accounting basis adjustments where the Company haswe have a future obligation for tax purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $15,567 in conjunction with the purchase price allocation of B&C, RDK and H&K as a result of the intangibles acquired in the acquisitions.

Furthermore, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a reduction in incomeexcess tax expense of $114 and $974, respectively, relating to the income tax benefit received in conjunction with the vesting of restricted stock during the periods. Also contributing to the decreasebenefits from share-based payments in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is the lower effective tax rate applicable to the Asia operations purchased in the JBA acquisition at the endfirst quarter of 2016.

The Company evaluates2019.

We evaluate tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The California Franchise Tax Board (“CFTB”) is challenging the use of certainchallenged research and development tax credits generated for the years 20052012 to 2014. Fiscal years 20052012 through 20162019 are considered open tax years in the State of California and 20132016 through 20162019 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and other state jurisdictions. During 2016, the Internal Revenue Service informed the Company of its interest to examine the income tax return for the tax year 2014.

 At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $770 of unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $770 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate.foreign jurisdictions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits inwithin the next 12 months.

To reflect management's revised perspective, the Company is now organized into two3 operating and reportable segments: Infrastructure (INF), which includes ourthe Company's engineering, civil program management, and construction quality assurance practices; and Building, Technology & Sciences (BTS) (formerly Building, Energy & Sciences (BES)), which includes our energy andthe Company's utility services, environmental practices as well asand buildings program management. 

management practices; and Geospatial Solutions (GEO), which includes the Company's geospatial solution practices. The GEO segment has been created in order to provide greater visibility regarding the operational and financial performance of QSI and of the Company evaluatesas a whole. The GEO segment structure is consistent with how the Company plans and allocates resources, manages its business, and assesses its performance. There was no impact to the INF and BTS prior period segment financial results. The assets of QSI were reallocated from the Company's INF reportable segment to the Company's new GEO reportable segment.

We evaluate the performance of these reportable segments based on their respective operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions and other unallocated corporate expenses. The Company accountsWe account for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if the sales and transfers were to third parties. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 15 – Leases
The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and has 5 equipment operating leases for aircrafts used by the operations of QSI. The Company's property operating leases consist of various office facilities, which we lease from unrelated parties. We use a portfolio approach to account for such leases due to the similarities in characteristics and apply an incremental borrowing rate based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans over a similar term. Our office leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We account for lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Some of our leases include one or more options to renew the lease term at our sole discretion; however, these are not included in the calculation of our lease liability or ROU lease asset because they are not reasonably certain of exercise.
We also lease vehicles through a fleet leasing program. The payments for the vehicles are based on the terms selected. We have determined that occurred duringit is reasonably certain that the fourth quarterleased vehicles will be held beyond the period in which the entire capitalized value of 2016:

The purchase price of this acquisition is up to $2,200, paid with a combination of cash, stock and future note payments.

On May 1, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Lochrane Engineering, Inc. (“Lochrane”), an Orlando, Florida based civil engineering firm which specializes in the provision of services on major roadway projects and its major clients include the Florida Department of Transportation and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. The aggregate purchase price paid by us is up to $4,940, paid with a combination of cash at closing and future note payments.


On April 14, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Bock & Clark Corporation (“B&C”subsidiaries, including Quantum Spatial, Inc. (collectively "QSI"), an Akron, Ohio based surveying, commercial zoning, and environmental services firm. We believe that the acquisition of B&C will expand our cross-selling opportunities within our infrastructure engineering, surveying, and program management groups and with our financial and transactional real estate clients. The aggregate purchase price consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition was $42,000, subject to customary closing working capital adjustments, funded entirely in cash.

Tax credit.

We To reflect management's revised perspective, we are currently under examination by the CFTB about certain research and development tax credits generated for the years 2005 to 2014. Fiscal years 2005 through 2016 are considered open tax years in the State of California and 2013 through 2016 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and other state jurisdictions. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $770 of unrecognized tax benefits related to this matter.

Backlog.

As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $274,500 of gross revenue backlog expected to be recognized over the next 12 months compared to gross revenue backlog of approximately $220,800 as of December 31, 2016. We include in backlog only those contracts for which funding has been provided and work authorizations have been received. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. In addition, project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog. For example, certain of our contracts with the U.S. federal government and other clients are terminable at the discretion of the client, with or without cause. These types of backlog reductions could adversely affect our revenue and margins. Accordingly, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.

Segments.

Our Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker and now organized the Company into twothree operating and reportable segments: Infrastructure (INF), which

Infrastructure (INF) - includes our engineering, civil program management, and construction quality assurance, testing and inspection practices;
Building, Technology & Sciences (BTS) includes our utility services, environmental and buildings program management practices; and
Geospatial Solutions (GEO) includes our geospatial solution practices.

The GEO segment has been created in order to provide greater visibility regarding the operational and financial performance of QSI. The GEO segment structure is consistent with how we plan and allocate resources, manage our engineering, civil program management,business, and construction quality assurance practices;assess our performance. Our INF and Building, Technology & Sciences (BTS) (formerly known as Building, Energy & Sciences (BES)), which includes our energyBTS segments remain unchanged and environmental practices as well as buildings program management. 

Components of Income and Expense

Revenues

We enter into contracts with our clients that contain two principal types of pricing provisions: cost-reimbursable and fixed-price. The majority of our contracts are cost-reimbursable contracts that fall under the relatively low-risk subcategory of time and materials contracts.

Cost-reimbursable contracts. Cost-reimbursable contracts consistaddition of the following:

• 

Time and materials contracts are common for smaller scale professional and technical consulting and certification services projects. Under these types of contracts, there is no predetermined fee. Instead, we negotiate hourly billing rates and charge our clients based upon actual hours expended on a project. In addition, any direct project expenditures are passed through to the client and are typically reimbursed. These contracts may have a fixed-price element in the form of an initial not-to-exceed or guaranteed maximum price provision.

Cost-plus contracts are the predominant contracting method used by U.S. federal, state, and local governments. These contracts provide for reimbursement of the actual costs and overhead (predetermined rates) we incur, plus a predetermined fee.

• 

Fixed-unit contracts typically require the performance of an estimated number of units of work at an agreed price per unit, with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units performed, over a fixed construction schedule. In most cases, we can bill additional fees if the schedule is modified and lengthened.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, cost-reimbursable contracts represented approximately 95% and 96%, respectively, of our total revenues.

Fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts also consist of the following:

• 

Lump-sum contracts typically require the performance of all of the work under the contract for a specified lump-sum fee, subject to price adjustments if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen conditions arise. Many of our lump-sum contracts are negotiated and arise in the design of projects with a specified scope and project deliverables.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, lump-sum contracts represented approximately 5% and 4%, respectively, of our total revenues.

Revenues from engineering services are recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues under cost-reimbursable contracts are recognized when services are performed or on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues recognized on the percentage-of-completion method are generally measured by the direct costs incurred to date as compared to estimated costs incurred which represents approximately 24% and 14% of revenues recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Direct Costs of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Direct costs of revenues consist primarily of that portion of technical and non-technical salaries and wages incurred in connection with fee generating projects. Direct costs of revenues also include production expenses, sub-consultant services, and other expenses that are incurred in connection with our fee generating projects. Direct costs of revenues exclude that portion of technical and non-technical salaries and wages related to marketing efforts, vacations, holidays, and other time not spent directly generating fees under existing contracts. Such costs are included in operating expenses. Additionally, payroll taxes, bonuses, and employee benefit costs for all of our personnel, facilities costs, and depreciation and amortization are included in operating expenses since no allocation of these costs is made to direct costs of revenues. We expense direct costs of revenues when incurred.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include the costs of the marketing and support staffs, other marketing expenses, management and administrative personnel costs, payroll taxes, bonuses and employee benefits for all of our employees and the portion of salaries and wages not allocated to direct costs of revenues for those employees who provide our services. Operating expenses also include facility costs, depreciation and amortization, professional services, legal and accounting fees, and administrative operating costs. We expense operating costs when incurred.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global stock markets and economies and has adversely affected the market price of our common stock. We are closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers and employees. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our internal controls inreported results for our Annual Reportfirst quarter, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on Form 10-K forour business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the year ended December 31, 2016 as otherwise required by Section 404(b)COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The JOBS Act also permits us, as an “emerging growth company,”outbreak and actions by government authorities to take advantagecontain the outbreak or treat its impact. We intend to continue to monitor the impact of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have chosen to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards when they are required to be adopted by issuers. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The

For a discussion of our financial conditioncritical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and resultsAnalysis of operationsFinancial Condition and Results of Operations” that is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. During the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our financial statements. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reportedincluded in the consolidated financial statements relate to the fair value estimates used in accounting for business combinations (including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets) and contingent consideration, fair value estimates in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units for goodwill impairment assessment, revenue recognition on the percentage-of-completion method, allowances for uncollectible accounts and provision for income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on2019 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Gross and Net Revenues.

Our consolidated gross revenues increased approximately $31,172 and $78,170by $48,145, or approximately 51.9% and 48.6%41.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 28, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 30, 2016. 2019. The increase in gross revenues was primarily due to the contribution from QSI of $37,942. Additionally, other acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2019 contributed gross revenues of $15,608. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in gross revenue from our liquefied natural gas business of $9,936. This decrease is primarily due to the timing revenue recognition. All other locations had a net increase in gross revenues of $4,531.
Our consolidated net revenues increased approximately $27,035 and $64,630by $38,879, or approximately 56.4% and 49.6%42.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 28, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 30, 2016. The increases in gross and net revenues are due primarily to organic growth from our existing platform as well as the contribution from various acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increases in gross revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, includes gross revenues of $21,316 and $35,524, respectively, related to acquisitions closed during 2017.2019. The increase in net revenues forwas primarily due to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, includescontribution from QSI of $26,258. Additionally, other acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2019 contributed net revenues of $17,164 and $27,223, respectively, related to acquisitions closed during 2017. Also contributing to the increases$12,401. All other locations had a net increase in net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is an increased utilization of our billable employees and reduction of sub-consultants used to perform services in 2017. The growth in revenues was primarily attributable to increases in energy distribution services; construction materials testing and engineering services; and program and construction management services. However, the increases in gross and net revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were partially offset by reductions in revenues related to project delays due to record rainfall and hurricanes affecting our California, Florida and Texas projects. We are currently unaware of any long-term delays in current projects and therefore are not anticipating such to influence future revenues. Such revenues could be affected by changes in economic conditions and the impact thereof on our public and quasi-public sector funded projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flowflows from operations, lines of credit,borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility, and access to financial markets. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, and acquisition expenditures. We believe our sources of liquidity, including cash flowflows from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We will monitor our capital requirements thereafter to ensure our needs are in line with available capital resources.

We believe our experienced employees and management team are our most valuable resources. Attracting, training, and retaining key personnel have been and will remain critical to our success. To achieve our human capital goals, we intend to remain focused on providing our personnel with entrepreneurial opportunities to increase client contact within their areas of expertise and to expand our business within our service offerings.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,582 and accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, totaled $113,004, compared to $35,666 and $75,511, respectively, on December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, our accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $17,133 and $18,173, respectively, compared to $13,509 and $17,316, respectively, on December 31, 2016. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, we had notes payable and other obligations and contingent consideration of $77,976 and $2,778, respectively, compared to $32,396 and $2,439, respectively, on December 31, 2016.
