              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.
