Information for Mr. Burns for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from January 1, 2008 through August 15, 2008 reflects compensation paid by CJ Hughes Construction Company, Inc. pre-acquisition. Compensation from August 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008 reflects compensation paid by CJ Hughes Construction Company, Inc. and consisted solely of salary totaling $15,753, 401(k) matching contribution of $236 and car lease payments of $942.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
          The compensation committee is comprised of our independent directors. Under the board’s policies, Mr. Marshall Reynolds, Mr. Jack Reynolds, and any other director who is also an executive officer, will not participate in the Board of Directors’ determination of compensation for their respective offices in the future if compensation is given to executive officers.
 
Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation
 
          As of the end of fiscal 2008, Energy Services paid no compensation to any executive officer except for the period from August 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008. Because the majority of the compensation was paid to the individual named above by the predecessor company and the Company paid such compensation from August 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008 in order to honor the terms of his existing employment terms with CJ Hughes Construction Company, Inc., the independent members of the Board of Directors have not met in their capacity as the Compensation Committee and have not formulated any policies on executive compensation. If we offer compensation in the future to our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, we will adopt standards and policies to govern compensation.
 
ITEM 13.          Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
Transactions with Certain Related Persons
 
          The Company leases its headquarter offices from a corporation in which two directors, Douglas Reynolds and Jack Reynolds are significant shareholders. One of the Company’s subsidiaries, ST Pipeline, leases its offices from Director James Shafer. Management feels that the rentals are comparable to similar rates for similar space in independent transactions. From time to time, the Company may purchase office supplies or furniture from Chapman Printing, Co. which is owned in part by Marshall Reynolds.

          We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of accountable out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, which will be reviewed only by our board or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.
 
          On March 30, 2006, we issued 2,150,000 shares of our common stock to the parties set forth below for $25,000 in cash, as follows:

Douglas Reynolds is the son of Marshall T. Reynolds and the brother of Jack M. Reynolds.
 
          The holders of the majority of these shares may request that we register these shares pursuant to an agreement signed on September 6, 2006. We will use our best efforts to prepare and file such registration statement, although we are not obligated to do so. The holders of the majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. In addition, these stockholders may request certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. We will use our best efforts to prepare and file such registration statements although we are not obligated to do so. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
 
          Five of our directors as well as Douglas Reynolds and as agreed with Ferris, Baker Watts, Incorporated, purchased in the aggregate 3,076,923 warrants in a private placement that occurred prior to our initial public offering at a price of $0.65 per warrant. In no event shall we be obligated to settle these warrants, in whole or in part, for cash. Therefore any and all such warrants can expire unexercised or unredeemed.
 
          The Companies have advances from a stockholder of $6,000,000. The unsecured advance bears interest at prime, resulting in interest of $38,763 for the period of August 16, 2008 through September 30, 2008. Certain Energy Services subsidiaries routinely engage in transactions in the normal course of business with each other, including sharing employee benefit plan coverage, payment for insurance and other expenses on behalf of other affiliates, and other services incidental to business of each of the affiliates.
 
Board Independence
 
          The Board of Directors consists of a majority of “independent directors” within the meaning of the American Stock Exchange corporate governance listing standards. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Adams, Dosch, Molihan, Scaggs and Williams are “independent directors” within the meaning of such standards.
 
          The Board of Directors has adopted a policy that the independent directors of the Board of Directors shall meet in executive sessions periodically, which meetings may be held in conjunction with regularly scheduled board meetings. Three executive sessions were held during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and three were held during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
