NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

Energy Services of America Corporation, formerly known as Energy Services Acquisition Corp., (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2006 as a blank check company whose objective was to acquire an operating business or businesses. The Company operated as a blank check company until August 15, 2008. On that date, the Company acquired S.T. Pipeline, Inc. and C.J. Hughes Construction Company, Inc. with proceeds from the Company’s Initial Public Offering. S. T. Pipeline and C. J Hughes operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

S.T. Pipeline, Inc. (S.T.) was incorporated in May 1990 under the laws of the State of West Virginia. S.T. engaged in the construction of natural gas pipelines for utility companies in various states, mostly in the mid-Atlantic area of the country. The financial position and results of operations of S.T. Pipeline, Inc. have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements for all presented periods. On May 14, 2013, the Company liquidated the operation of S.T. and realized $1.9 million from the sale.

C.J. Hughes Construction Company, Inc. (C.J. Hughes) is a general contractor primarily engaged in pipeline construction for utility companies. C.J. Hughes operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Nitro Electric Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of C. J. Hughes, is involved in electrical contracting providing its services to the power and refining industries. Nitro Electric operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Contractors Rental Corporation, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of C.J. Hughes is involved in main line pipeline installation and repairs in the mid-Atlantic region of the country as well. All of the C.J. Hughes, Nitro Electric, and Contractors Rental production personnel are union members of various related construction trade unions and are subject to collective bargaining agreements that expire at varying time intervals.

The Company’s stock trades under the symbol “ESOA” on the Over-the-Counter market.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed December 20, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to interim financial reporting rules and regulations of the SEC. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Energy Services include the accounts of Energy Services and its wholly owned subsidiaries. S.T. Pipeline has been shown as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to Energy Services include Energy Services and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Backlog at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was $48.2 million and $52.6 million respectively.

3. CLAIMS

The Company had claims valued at $2,200,000 with respect to September 30, 2013. On December 5, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for $2,350,000. The agreement called for payment to be received by the Company within 10 days of execution. The Company received payment of the full amount on December 13, 2013. The Company does not have any claims recorded as of March 31, 2014.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Under the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

As noted above, there is a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for nonbinding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data.

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 carrying amount for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. The fair value of the Company’s long term fixed-rate debt to unrelated parties was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis and a yield rate that was estimated based on the borrowing rates for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s fixed-rate debt of $12.8 million at March 31, 2014 was $12.7 million.

The Company uses fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis in its assessment of goodwill and long-lived assets held and used. In accordance with its annual impairment test during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36.9 million, which represented the entire amount of goodwill carried on the Company’s balance sheet. Refer to Note 4, Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Company’s September 30, 2013 10-K filing for further information.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Due to organizational changes and operating losses incurred in fiscal year 2012, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary S.T. Pipeline, Inc. On May 14, 2013, the Company liquidated the operation of S.T. and realized $1.9 million from the sale.

The operating results for S.T. Pipeline, Inc. for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended			Six Months Ended

Company Overview

On August 15, 2008, Energy Services of America (the “Company” or “ESA”) completed the acquisitions of S.T. Pipeline, Inc. and C.J. Hughes Construction Company, Inc.

Energy Services is a provider of contracting services to America’s energy providers, primarily the gas and electricity providers. The Company’s services include:

●

The installation, replacement and repairs of pipelines for the oil and natural gas industries.

The work includes a combination of both interstate and intrastate pipelines that move natural gas from the producing regions to consumption regions. The Company does not own or is not directly involved in the exploration, transportation or refinement of oil and natural gas nor any of the facilities used for transporting electricity. The Company has established relationships with numerous customers, which include many of the leading companies in the industries we serve.

Representative Customer list:

Columbia Gas Transmission

Columbia Gas of Ohio and Kentucky

Nisource

Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC

American Electric Power

Toyota

Hitachi

Bayer Chemical

Dow Chemical

Kentucky American Water

Equitable Resources

Various State, county and municipal public service districts.

Energy Services’ sales force consists of industry professionals with significant relevant sales experience, who utilize industry contacts and available public data to determine how to most appropriately market ESA’s line of products. The Company relies on direct contact between its sales force and customers’ engineering and contracting departments in order to obtain new business. Due to the occurrence of inclement weather during the winter months, certain parts of the Company business, i.e., the construction of pipelines, is somewhat seasonal in that most of the work is performed during the non-winter months.

Wholly owned subsidiary C.J. Hughes Construction Company, Inc. (C.J. Hughes) is a general contractor primarily engaged in pipeline construction for utility companies. C.J. Hughes operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Nitro Electric Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of C. J. Hughes, is involved in electrical contracting providing its services to the power and refining industries. Nitro Electric operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Contractors Rental Corporation, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of C.J. Hughes is involved in main line pipeline installation and repairs in the mid-Atlantic region of the country as well. All of the C.J. Hughes, Nitro Electric, and Contractors Rental production personnel are union members of various related construction trade unions and are subject to collective bargaining agreements that expire at varying time intervals.

S.T. Pipeline, Inc. (S.T.) engaged in the construction of natural gas pipelines for utility companies in various states, mostly in the mid-Atlantic area of the country. The financial position and results of operations of S.T. Pipeline, Inc. have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements for all presented periods. On May 14, 2013, the Company liquidated the operation of S.T. and realized $1.9 million from the sale of assets.

A goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 in the amount of $36.9 million, representing all of the goodwill on our balance sheet. Based on our continued operating losses and management’s forecasts of future cash flows our goodwill impairment test indicated that the goodwill of the Company had no value. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with their audit of the Company’s 2013 financial statements, Arnett Foster Toothman, our independent public auditing firm as part of its audit report on our financial statements expressed substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a “going concern”. The financial difficulties giving rise to Arnett Foster Toothman’s conclusion included the significant and sustained losses that the Company has incurred over recent years as well as the inability to secure loans and lines of credit to fund the business in a manner deemed adequate to conduct our business. On January 31, the Company reached a refinancing agreement with its bank group and it currently working to secure an adequate line of credit to fund future work. The Company has also finished its restructuring effort in an attempt to return the Company to profitability. The Company believes that it will be able to successfully resolve the factors that gave rise to Arnett Foster Toothman’s decision to render its “going concern” opinion by the end of the current fiscal year, September 30, 2014.

On September 28, 2011, the Company completed an exchange offer pursuant to which we exchanged 8 ½ warrants for one share of common stock. Following the completion of the exchange offer any warrants which were not exchanged expired on October 12, 2011. On November 14, 2011, we delisted from the NYSE AMEX the warrants and units. Following the completion of the exchange offer and expiration of the warrants that were not tendered, we had 14,446,836 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no warrants or units outstanding.

The Company’s stock trades under the symbol “ESOA” and transactions in the stock are reported on the Over-the-Counter market.

Forbearance Agreement

On November 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with our lender related to our revolving line of credit and term debt as reported in the Company’s November 29, 2012 Form 8-K filing. The Forbearance Agreement, among other things, required the Company to close the S.T. Pipeline subsidiary and dispose of its assets. The Company was also required to prepare recommendations relating to the on-going operations of Nitro Electric Company, Inc, C.J. Hughes Construction Company, and Contractors Rental Corporation, including refinancing, sale or liquidation of the companies by May 31, 2013.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with United Bank, Inc. (West Virginia) and Summit Community Bank (West Virginia). The financing arrangement is a five year term loan in the amount of $8.8 million. In addition, the Company entered into a separate five year term loan agreement with First Guaranty Bank (Louisiana) for $1.6 million. Taken together, the $10.4 million in new financings supersede the prior financing arrangements the Company had with United Bank as well as the other lenders. As a result of entering into the new financings, United Bank and the other lenders of the Company agreed to terminate their Forbearance Agreement with the Company. This was reported in the Company’s February 4, 2014 Form 8-K filing.

First Quarter Overview

The following is an overview for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The second fiscal quarter of the Company is typically a slower period for our business lines given the weather and climate. The Company typically has a fewer number of workable days during the first and second quarters as compared to the remaining quarters.

Quarter Ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 Comparison

Revenues. Total revenues from continuing operations decreased by $6.5 million or 31.7% to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 and decreased by $8.6 million or 18.1% to 39.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to customer scheduled outage work performed by the Company in December 2012 that did not reoccur in December 2013. The Company had a $3,000 reduction of revenue from discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $304,000 and $1.8 million for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2013.

Cost of Revenues. Total costs of revenues from continuing operations decreased by $6.1 million or 32.6% to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased $7.5 million or 17.4% to 35.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to customer scheduled outage work performed by the Company in December 2012 that did not reoccur in December 2013. Cost of revenues from discontinued operations decreased by $393,000 million to $(3,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased by $2.8 million to (107,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ended in 2013. There was a reclassification of costs accrued as direct costs as of September 30, 2013 and charged as selling and administrative expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit from continuing operations decreased by $414,000 or 22.0% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased $1.2 million or 24.5 % to $3.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ending in 2013. This was due to the decrease in revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ending in 2013. There was no gross profit on discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Gross profits from discontinued operations increased $989,000 to $104,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ended in 2013.

Selling and administrative expenses. Total selling and administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased by $414,000 or 20.4% to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased $1.2 million to $3.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ending in 2013. This decrease was due in part to a $510,000 decrease in restructuring costs to a total of $19,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The remainder reflects cost reduction measures taken by the Company. There were no selling and administrative expenses for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and such expenses decreased by $728,000 to $83,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period ended in 2013. The $83,000 in expenses was in part due to a reclassification of costs related to non-project liabilities accrued as direct project costs as of September 30, 2013. The Company believes that any ongoing costs associated with closing discontinued operations will be immaterial.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $365,000 or 77.4% to $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and decreased 495,000 or 51.8% to 461,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same periods ending in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of debt owed to the bank group resulting from the liquidation of S.T. assets in May 2013. In March 2014, the Company reclassified $77,250 of dividend payments previously recorded as interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013 to a reduction of retained earnings.

Net Income (Loss). Net income from continuing operations was $5,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $302,000 for the same period ending in 2013. Net income from continuing operations was $453,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $416,000 for the same period ending in 2013. Income tax benefits for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 were $246,000 and $629,000, respectively. Included in net income for the six months ended March 31, 2013 is a $294,000 gain on the sale of equipment. The net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $19,000 compared to a net loss of $897,000 for the same period ended in 2013. The net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,100 compared to a net loss of $1,543,000 for the same period ended in 2013. Included in the net income for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was a $21,000 loss from the sale of equipment compared to a $219,000 gain for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

Comparison of Financial Condition

The Company had total assets at March 31, 2014 of $37.9 million, a decrease of $12.8 million from September 30, 2013. Two primary components of the balance sheet were accounts receivable which totaled $7.0 million, a decrease of $9.8 million from September 30, 2013 and costs and earnings in excess of billings which totaled $4.8 million, a decrease of $4.2 million from September 30, 2013. Other major categories of assets at March 31, 2014 included cash of $7.5 million and fixed assets less accumulated depreciation of $8.5 million. Liabilities totaled $22.5 million, a decrease of $13.3 million from September 30, 2013. One primary component was accounts payable which totaled $1.5 million, a decrease of $4.9 million from September 30 2013. Also, long term debt and short term borrowings totaled $12.8 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from September 30, 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $473,000 from $14.9 million at September 30, 2013 to $15.4 million at March 31, 2014. This increase was due to the net income of $455,000, $250,000 proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, and a $232,000 reduction from dividends on preferred stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

We prepare weekly cash forecasts for our own benefit and for submission to our lenders. We anticipate that our current cash and the cash to be generated from collection of our receivables will be adequate for our cash needs for the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. The new financing agreement the Company reached with its lenders on January 31, 2014 is for term financing and does not provide for a line of credit. The Company is in discussions with its lenders concerning the financing of future work.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The net income for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $455,000, which was significantly affected by depreciation expense during the period of $1.7 million. Contracts, other receivables, and prepaids provided $10.9 million while decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses used $6.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2014. Investing activities used $432,000. Financing activities used $3.7 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $7.6 million in cash and working capital of $20.0 million.

Loan Covenants

Under the terms of the new financing agreement reached January 31, 2014, the Company must meet the following loan covenants:

Minimum tangible net worth of $10.0 million to be measured quarterly

Minimum traditional debt service coverage of 1.50x to be measured quarterly on a rolling twelve month basis

Minimum current ratio of 1.30x to be measured quarterly

Maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio to be measured semi-annual on the following basis:

Date Debt to TNW

6/30/2014 2.50x

12/31/2014 2.25x

6/30/2015 2.00x

12/31/2015 1.75x

6/30/2016 1.50x

Thereafter 1.50x

Off-Balance Sheet transactions

Due to the nature of our industry, the Company often enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Though for the most part not material in nature, some of these are:

Leases

Our work often requires us to lease various facilities, equipment and vehicles. These leases usually are short term in nature, one year or less though at times we may enter into longer term leases when warranted. By leasing equipment, vehicles and facilities, we are able to reduce our capital outlay requirements for equipment vehicles and facilities that we may only need for short periods of time. The Company currently rents office and shop space from an independent lessor for its Nitro Electric operations. The office space rental is $6,300 per month and escalates to $6,684 before expiring in December 2016. The shop rental is $10,000 per month and escalates to $11,500 in January 2015 until expiration in December 2018.

Letters of Credit

Certain customers or vendors may require letters of credit to secure payments that the vendors are making on our behalf or to secure payments to subcontractors, vendors, etc. on various customer projects. At March 31, 2014, the Company had one letter of credit outstanding in the amount of $953,340.

Performance Bonds

Some customers, particularly new ones or governmental agencies, require the Company to post bid bonds, performance bonds and payment bonds, (collectively, performance bonds). These bonds are obtained through insurance carriers and guarantee to the customer that we will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the insurer make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the insurer for any expenses or outlays it is required to make. In February 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a surety company to provide bonding which will suit the Company’s immediate needs. The ability to obtain bonding for future contracts is an important factor in the contracting industry with respect to the type and amount of contracts that can be bid.

Depending upon the size and conditions of a particular contract, we may be required to post letters of credit or other collateral in favor of the insurer. Posting of these letters or other collateral will reduce our borrowing capabilities. Historically, the Company has never had a payment made by an insurer under these circumstances and does not anticipate any claims in the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2014, the Company had $16.7 million in performance bonds outstanding.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In the ordinary course of business the Company grants credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, to our customers, which include natural gas and oil companies, general contractors, and various commercial and industrial customers located within the United States. Consequently, we are subject to potential credit risk related to business and economic factors that would affect these companies. However, we generally have certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided. Under certain circumstances such as foreclosure, we may take title to the underlying assets in lieu of cash in settlement of receivables. The Company had two customers that exceeded 10% of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2014. These customers accounted for 33.1% of revenues for the period and 8.65% of receivables at March 31, 2014. Another two customers accounted for 22.4% of receivables at March 31, 2014.

Related Party Transactions

Total long-term debt at March 31, 2014 was $11.7 million, none of which was related party debt. Related party transactions for the six months ended March 31, 2014 were immaterial.

Inflation

Due to relatively low levels of inflation during the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, inflation did not have a significant effect on our results.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Management believes the following accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Claims. Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that a contractor seeks to collect from customers or others for customer-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. The Company records revenue on claims that have a high probability of success. Revenue from a claim is recorded only to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred.

Revenue Recognition. Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. These contracts provide for a fixed amount of revenues for the entire project. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate us the services rendered, measured in terms of units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, tools and expendables. The cost estimates are based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s engineers, project managers and financial professionals. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and others all affect the total estimated costs at completion. The effects of these changes are recognized in the period in which they occur. Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The current asset “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed for fixed price contracts. The current liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized for fixed price contracts.

Revenue on all costs plus and time and material contracts are recognized when services are performed or when units are completed.

Self Insurance. The Company has its workers’ compensation, general liability and auto insurance through a captive insurance company. While the Company believes that this arrangement has been beneficial in reducing and stabilizing insurance costs the Company does have to maintain a restricted cash account to guarantee payments of premiums. That restricted account had a balance of $1.4 million as of March 31, 2014. Should the Company experience severe losses over an extended period, it could have a detrimental effect on the Company, notwithstanding the captive insurance company.

Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts . The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection of an account is considered doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates relating to, among others, our customers’ access to capital, our customer’s willingness or ability to pay, general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customer. While most of our customers are large well capitalized companies, should they experience material changes in their revenues and cash flows or incur other difficulties and not be able to pay the amounts owed, this could cause reduced cash flows and losses in excess of our current reserves. At March 31, 2014, management concluded that the allowance for doubtful accounts was adequate.

Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with United Bank, Inc. (West Virginia) and Summit Community Bank (West Virginia). The amount of the financing arrangement is for $8.8 million. In addition, the Company entered into a separate loan arrangement with First Guaranty Bank (Louisiana) for $1.6 million. Taken together, the $10.4 million in new financings supersede the prior financing arrangements the Company had with United Bank as well as the other lenders. As a result of entering into the new financings, United Bank and the other lenders of the Company have agreed to terminate their Forbearance Agreement with the Company.

The new financing agreement the Company reached with its lenders on January 31, 2014 is for term financing and does not provide for a line of credit. The Company has had preliminary discussions with the lenders concerning the financing of future work. The Company prepares weekly cash forecasts for our own benefit and for submission to our lenders. We anticipate that our current cash and the cash to be generated from collection of our receivables will be adequate for our cash needs for the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year.

Prior to the general economic crisis that severely impacted demand in 2009, our customers were experiencing high demands for their products, particularly natural gas. Currently, the Company is seeing the increased demand for its services and accordingly, the Company would expect to see projected spending for our customers on their transmission and distribution systems increasing dramatically over the next few years. However, with the current uncertainty in the economy the demand for the customer’s project could wane and also their ability to fund planned projects could be reduced. The Company’s backlog at March 31, 2014 was $48.2 million and while adding additional business projects appears likely, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in bidding on projects that become available. Moreover, even if the Company obtains contracts, there can be no guarantee that the projects will go forward.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily related to increases in fuel prices and adverse changes in interest rates, as discussed below.

Fuel Prices. Our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates to our consumption of fuel and the price we have to pay for it. As prices rise, our total fuel cost rises. We do not feel that this risk is significant due to the fact that we would be able to pass a portion of those increases on to our customers.

Interest Rate. Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to our borrowings from banks. Some of our loans have variable interest rates. Accordingly, as rates rise, our interest cost would rise. We do not feel that this risk is significant.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Energy Services of America Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in Energy Services of America Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during Energy Services of America Corporation’s second quarter of fiscal year 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Energy Services of America Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
