CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding National Energy Services Company, Inc., (“National Energy Services”) its business and its financial prospects. These statements represent Management’s present intentions and its present belief regarding the Company’s future. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results suggested in this Report. Among the more significant factors are:
• | The Company has not been profitable in recent years. Although the Company implemented a number of programs to help us achieve profitability, they were unsuccessful. |
• | The Company lacks the capital necessary to significantly expand its business. Unless the expansion of business is sufficient enough that the gross profit will exceed administrative costs, the Company will not achieve profitability. |
• | Expansion of business will require that an expansion of accounting and other internal management systems. Such an expansion may lead to inefficiencies that could prevent profitability. |
• | The Company has sought to expand its business model and discontinue certain unprofitable business elements while expecting to expand other product offerings. |
Because these and other risks may cause National Energy Services’ actual results to differ from those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report. Readers should also take note that National Energy Services will not necessarily make any public announcement of changes affecting these forward-looking statements, which should be considered accurate on this date only.
ITEM 1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Business of the Company
National Energy Services Company, Inc. (“NES”) was incorporated on February 17, 1998 in Nevada as Coastal Enterprises, Inc. Coastal Enterprises, Inc. and National Energy Services Company, Inc., an unaffiliated New Jersey formed in September 1994, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated October 19, 2001, immediately changing the name of Coastal Enterprises, Inc. to National Energy Services Company, Inc. pursuant to which the shareholders of the New Jersey corporation were issued 10,000,000 common shares, par value $.001, of the Nevada corporation in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the New Jersey corporation, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nevada corporation. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. National Energy Services Company, Inc. of New Jersey operates as the sales and service subsidiary of National Energy Services Company, Inc. The subsidiary’s New Jersey sales operations were closed in January 2010.

Recent Developments
The Company entered into an agreement to purchase an alternative energy construction management contract on January 21, 2010, as filed on Form 8-K on January 26, 2010. The agreement required the officers and directors to resign immediately except John O’Neill, who remained as a director and Dr. John G. Kalogeris was seated as the new CEO, CFO, and director. Dr. John G Kalogeris is in search of additional directors and officers and business expansion opportunities. A complete business plan and the determination of existing products and programs to be continued will be completed by the end of February 2010. Many of the current product offerings are feasible and usable in the construction management business as all are energy efficient and therefore “green” as mandated in the construction management offerings. A change of voting control will take place on March 1, 2010 when all agreement and escrow terms have been completed.
The ozone laundry business will not be continued as all business opportunities and warranty contracts had been disposed before the negotiations for the agreement were begun.
The Company, through its subsidiary engaged in the business of marketing a comprehensive energy management program for long-term care, hospitality, warehousing and distribution facilities. The program features lighting upgrades, an energy efficient laundry system, wireless energy management for the monitoring and control of energy, lighting upgrades, group purchasing of natural gas, and improvements to heating, venting and air conditioning systems. The facilities generally recover the costs of these renovations through monthly energy savings, resulting in no out-of-pocket expense to the facility.
Financing Arrangements
The Company has offered the Facilities several financing alternatives through various lending sources. In the past Facilities purchased the upgrade equipment and obtained purchase financing from Charter Management, LLC (“Charter”) under the Energy Gatekeeper Program (“Gatekeeper”). Charter is owned by John O’Neill and Deborah O’Neill, who have a controlling equity interest in National Energy Services as well. Under the Gatekeeper Program, the Company provided the Facility with all of its energy services and assisted the Facility in obtaining financing from Charter for the energy services. The Gatekeeper Program was terminated in 2006.
The Company also has customers who fund these projects through their own capital expenditure budgets and pay the Company directly.
Principal Products and Services
The principal products and services offered in the Program are the Ozone Laundry System (OLS), Lighting Upgrades, Mechanical Systems (HVAC), Water/Sewer Conservation Methods and Energy Management.
Ozone Laundry System (OLS). OLS is a system that can reduce a Facility’s laundering costs by more than 50%, primarily by eliminating the need for hot water during the washing process. The OLS injects activated oxygen (ozone) into the wash and rinse water, with the result that the laundry is cleaned and completely disinfected. Ozone is a powerful oxidant that is more effective than chlorine, but without chlorine’s dangerous properties. Various studies have shown

that using ozone in laundering is far more effective than conventional disinfectants against microorganisms and viruses. With ozone laundering, fewer cycles are required to clean, thus chemical use is reduced. Energy bills are also greatly reduced because ozone is only active in cold water, eliminating the need to buy natural gas or other energy sources to heat the water. The savings to the Facility are substantial since laundering expense is one of the most significant expense items in a Facility’s budget. This portion of the sales operations has been reflected as the discontinued operation on the Consolidated Statements of Operation for the year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Lighting Upgrades. The Company provides Facilities with energy-efficient lighting upgrades or retrofits (“Lighting Upgrades”). The Lighting Upgrades can reduce the Facility’s energy consumption and prevent pollution while delivering comparable or better lighting. For example, a Lighting Upgrade in a typical 120 bed nursing home can reduce energy usage by 226,666 kilowatt hours per year, resulting in an annual savings of approximately $20,400. This calculation of average savings is based on our own engineering studies and actual results in more than 100 installations.
Although a Lighting Upgrade product may cost slightly more than the standard lighting product it replaces, the energy savings are so significant that any incremental cost is rapidly recovered by the Facility. For example, compact fluorescent light bulbs use 70 percent less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs. By replacing just one 75-watt incandescent light bulb with a 20-watt CFL, a Facility saves approximately $14 a year, assuming the bulb is used for 5,000 hours in the year. Further, compact fluorescent light bulbs last an average of 10,000 hours, compared to only 850 hours for a standard incandescent light bulb.
Mechanical Systems/HVAC. The installation of state-of-the-art, energy conserving boilers, heating and air conditioning units and other mechanical equipment can improve a Facility’s operating efficiency and increase its productivity. Retrofitting outdated systems with new equipment not only saves energy dollars, but reduces repair and maintenance expense. The impact of environmental improvements such as improved air quality and increased comfort levels can make a noticeable positive impact on the Facility’s residents and employees.
Water and Sewer Conservation. The goal of an effective water conservation project is to reduce usage and maintain or improve the water quality and fixture performance. The installation of low use, optimum performance fixtures is the key to an effective water conservation program. For example, the retrofit of a low-flush toilet can reduce water usage by more than 750,000 gallons annually in the average 120 bed nursing home. This reduction in usage has a significant impact on water/sewer costs. Depending on the local water/sewer rates, the annual savings can be as much as $5,000 per year with equipment life expectancy of 15 to 20 years.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution
The Company’s primary market has been the nursing home industry. There are approximately 17,000 nursing homes operating nationally, with approximately 10,000 of them in the high cost energy regions of the East and West coasts. Nursing homes are a fertile area for our energy-saving Program for several reasons:
• | Nursing homes are under intense fiscal and regulatory pressures. |
• | Nursing homes have very few areas to conserve cash without compromising care. |
4
Table of Contents
• | Utility costs are among the five highest line items in the operating budget. |
• | Most nursing homes are operating outdated HVAC and lighting systems. |
• | The customer is well-defined and easy to reach. |
• | Most long term care facilities are alike in construction, design and energy consumption. |
• | Data about nursing home energy consumption is quickly and efficiently obtained. |
• | The Medicaid utilities reimbursement structure assures a Facility’s ability to pay. |
In addition to capitalizing on the Company’s track record in the skilled nursing facility industry, in 2007 the Company made its entry into the hospitality industry, with a successful test for Hilton Hotels. As a result of that test, the Company is now in the process of gearing up its sales and marketing team in order to actively sell its Ozone Laundry System to Hilton. The Company is also looking to sell its system to other hotel chains. The addressable market of approximately 30,000 hotels/motels is much larger than the skilled nursing industry. The Company is proceeding carefully, looking to field test equipment in several locations with several chains, much in the way the nursing home market was initially approached. To assist in this area, the Company recently engaged a new salesperson, who has existing relationships in the hotel industry.
Additionally the Company is starting to penetrate the warehouse, freight distribution and manufacturing sectors, offering the T-5 lighting system. This is a relatively new way to light traditional steel pre-fabricated buildings. This lighting system, which consumes 50% less energy than conventional metal halide and high-pressure sodium HID fixtures, also provides better quality of light, increased productivity, and lower maintenance costs.
The Company believes that relationships are the cornerstone of its marketing philosophy. The process of building and maintaining working relationships requires a commitment at all levels of the organization. Our marketing program includes: market research, feasibility studies, public and industry relations, promotion, advertising, direct response, sales support, customer service, employee relations and training and education. As a result of the complexity of the products offered and the market, the Company works very hard to ensure that its employees and representatives have a working knowledge of all products and processes.
The addition of construction management operations provides the expansion to markets such alternative energy processing, medical treatment, and agricultural facilities.
Purchasing and Installation
The Company has developed solid relationships with major suppliers of industrial lighting, mechanical equipment and other energy conservation products. The Company has preferred vendor or distributor status with several suppliers. This means that the Company enjoys the following: (i) preferred pricing, (ii) quantity discounts, (iii) timely delivery, (iv) quality products, (v) exceptional warranties, (vi) superior customer service, (vii) product exclusivity, (viii) manufacturer sponsored training, and (ix) superior customer service. The Company is dedicated to maintaining quality relationships with suppliers and makes a concentrated effort to expand its sphere of influence among manufacturers. This allows the Company to customize product lines and select the materials that best fill the needs of its customers.
The installation of the products is the most delicate part of the entire process and can place enormous strain on a customer relationship. The Company’s selection of the right contractor to carry out the installation is critical to a successful installation. The Company has strict contractor criteria. The selected firm must have a complete understanding of what is required to work in the health care or hospitality environment and be willing to complete the contractor compliance paperwork.

Reliance On Major Customers and Suppliers
In the year ended October 31, 2009, we had a customer who provided $150,000 or 20% of our sales, representing no balance in our trade receivable; and one customer who provided $87,717 or 11% of our sales, representing 100% of our trade receivables.
The Company has a broad range of suppliers because of its varied business sales model. However, during the year ended October 31, 2009 one supplier accounted for 18% of purchases.
Competition
The principal markets in which the Company competes are competitive and fragmented. No competitor known to us controls more than 3% of the nursing home market for any of the several services provided. There are competitors supplying energy, providing energy management services or financing, but few providing a total package deal with no out-of-pocket cost to the facility. Increased competition could have a material adverse effect, as competitors may have far greater financial and other resources available to them.
Governmental Regulation
The government regulations applicable to the health care and hospitality industries are in many ways unique. State regulations include specifications for HVAC, lighting, water quality and laundry equipment. It is the Company’s responsibility to find supplies and equipment that meet and/or surpass the regulatory guidelines. Guidelines vary from state to state. It is critical to become familiar with each state’s regulations and policies regarding each energy conservation measure (“ECM”) before we start to market and install the particular ECM in any given state.
The one portion of the Company’s Program that is most intensely affected by government regulation is the laundry process. The majority of states in which the Company markets have specific guidelines for laundry that is processed in an on-site laundry. Typical regulations include guidelines mandating separate holding areas for soiled and clean linen, linen cart storage, having enough clean linen on hand to adequately service the facility, adequate soiled and clean linen storage, an area for folding, mending and ironing the clean linen, proper storage for supplies, a deep sink for soaking and a separate hand washing sink. Policies, procedures and proper protocol to reduce bacteria in linens and to protect the staff and residents from infection are required to be written and implemented by the facility.
The procedures and policy section is what most affects the installation of the OLS. Since these procedures and policies are left to the individual Facility to develop, it is common practice to follow the “manufacturers specifications” when it comes to disinfection. Because standard laundering procedures use chlorine bleach to disinfect the linen, the “manufacturers specifications” often require 160 degree water because that is the water temperature in which chlorine bleach is most effective. While most states do not define a minimum water temperature, two states have a minimum wash water temperature in their respective regulations: Maryland and Massachusetts. To overcome the minimum wash water temperature requirements, the Company presented Maryland and Massachusetts with the merits of using ozone in the wash water to clean and disinfect. The Company was successful in this endeavor and has received waivers from both states to install the OLS.

Compliance with Environmental Laws
The Company is in compliance with all relevant environmental laws. The waste generated during a lighting upgrade that can be considered hazardous is the Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs) in the existing ballasts and the mercury in the existing fluorescent lamps. The Company uses federal and state licensed and fully insured recycling facilities and hazardous waste disposers. This practice in some instances exceeds the minimum disposal requirements. But it is the Company’s view that this practice will provide its clients and itself the greatest protection from any Super Fund or toxic waste liability issues.
The Company’s practices are required to comply with the federal Toxic Substance Control Act (“TSCA”), which regulates the disposal of PCBs. Fully complying with the TSCA removes the risk of liability under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Compliance and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which is also known as the Superfund Law. Under this law, any release or threat of a release of a hazardous substance requires immediate cleanup and notification of all responsible parties. The Company’s practices are also required to comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). RCRA requires generators of lamps to test a sample of mercury-containing lamps to determine if they should be treated as hazardous waste. Lamps must be managed as hazardous waste if the mercury concentration exceeds 0.2 mg per liter. In addition, lamps must be managed as hazardous waste if they are not tested and proven non-hazardous. The Company treats all fluorescent lamps as hazardous and properly dispose and recycle them.
Employees
The Company, as of February 6, 2010, employs one full time, no part time employees and two contractors to provide essential services. None of the Company’s employees is represented by a labor union.

Results of Operations
The Company’s revenue for the year ended October 31, 2009 was 51% lower than the revenues for the year ended October 31, 2008. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company realized revenue from three distinct sources:
Equipment Sales. Our revenue from sales of capital equipment was $698,773 for the year ended October 31, 2009, which is 52% lower than the level of equipment sales for the year ended October 31, 2008. The 2009 sales represent 94% of our total revenue for the period.
Invoice Management Fees. Some of the Facilities that we service pay us fees for aggregating invoices from the utility companies and processing their payments. Our revenue from invoice management services represented 2% of total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2009. It is expected that invoice management fees will continue to make only a minor contribution to revenue, as it is the intention of the Company to limit this relatively labor-intense business to situations in which the services can be performed profitably.
Energy Management Fees. A number of the Facilities that the Company manages pay fees for monitoring their utility invoices to ensure correct charges and appropriate tariffs. Revenue from management services represented 4% of total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2009. As with invoice management services, the portion of revenue attributable to energy management fees will remain modest, as the intention is to limit this relatively labor-intense business to situations in which the services can be performed profitably.
In the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, the Company implemented a number of initiatives designed to increase revenues in the coming months. The Company established a relationship with an equipment leasing company, so it could now offer prospective clients a choice of financing options. In addition, the Company revised its internal procedures for evaluation of the credit worthiness of potential clients in order to substantially hasten the process, thus enabling the sales staff to close contracts more efficiently. The expectation was that these initiatives, combined with increased demand for services due to the recent surge in energy prices, would enable the Company to expand its operations in the coming months. Due to the current economic climate, sales for the current year were not what was expected. The Company has worked to establish relationships with new customer bases.
National Energy has also begun to explore new markets. To date the typical customer has been the long term care facility. The Company is now quoting business to the warehouse, freight distribution, manufacturing and hospitality industries. These new areas will take some time to develop.

Our gross margin during the year ended October 31, 2009 was 47%, compared to 49% gross margin for the year ended October 31, 2008. In general, gross margin will depend on product mix and volume of business. The Company realizes a higher gross profit from sales of ozone laundry systems than from upgrades to lighting and HVAC systems, although the profit is counterbalanced by the higher marketing costs attendant to sales of ozone laundry systems.
If the Company is successful in increasing its volume of business, gross profit should increase as well, for a number of reasons. For one, each sale of equipment requires that field surveyors are sent to interested Facilities to determine the potential energy savings so that a cost proposal can be presented to the Facility. That expense is incurred whether the sale closes or not, and the expense of failed contracts burdens the gross profit that is realized from successful marketing efforts. If the Company is able to close more contracts and at a higher success rate, the burden on gross profit of costs from failed contracts will be proportionately reduced.
Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2009 totaled $909,297, a decrease of $537,142 compared to the year ended October 31, 2008. Management decreased expenses by a reduction in the employees, a decision to reduce all sales expenses and a careful examination of all administrative expenses.
Interest expense for the year ended October 31, 2009 was $24,599, compared to interest expense of $21,348 incurred in the year ended October 31, 2008. Interest expense should continue to decrease as debt is amortized unless the Company secures new debt financing.
As a result of the factors listed above, the Company reported a net loss of $591,109 for the year ended October 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $713,316 for the year ended October 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the years prior to fiscal 2009,, the Company’s only significant source of working capital financing was Charter Management, LLC, which is owned by two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, John O’Neill and Deborah O’Neill.
The Company’s working capital deficit increased by $528,566 during fiscal 2009, so that at October 31, 2009 the deficit was $2,154,932. The Company has minimal liquidity and working capital is severely strained, as credit lines have been fully utilized. It is expected that there will continue to be a working capital deficit until revenues increase significantly.
Our working capital deficit is primarily a result of our poor operating results. However, working capital has also been impaired, in part, by the nature of the Company’s business contracts. In most of the sales arrangements, the Company must complete the job, pay for all costs incurred, and obtain a completion certificate before an invoice can be submitted for reimbursement to the lender or lessor. Only then will the Company collect the cash payment for the job. This procedure creates a delay of approximately thirty days before funds are received. Until a level of operations is reached in which the Company is completing jobs on a consistent basis, this delay in receiving payment for jobs will impair the ability to fund operations. The Company expects the change in the businesses that we participate with the acquisition of the construction management contracts and their size and scope will bring profitability and financing opportunities that have not formerly been available.

In 2004 PPL Spectrum, Inc. (“PPL”) terminated the arrangement under which it had previously provided equipment financing to the Company’s customers. Effective March 1, 2005 the Company assigned to PPL all of the notes receivable that arose from customer financing provided by PPL. In turn, PPL released the Company from the corresponding notes payable to PPL.
In connection with the termination of the lending arrangement and assignment of the notes, the Company did assume certain obligations to PPL:
• | The Company entered into a settlement agreement with PPL for aged payables. In February 2004 the payables were consolidated into a three-year promissory note in the amount of $314,047, bearing interest at 18% per annum. Effective March 1, 2005, this note was renegotiated to bear interest rate at 8% per annum. The balance at March 1, 2005 was $219,473 payable over seven years. |
• | The Company contracted to pay $1,400 per month toward a reserve for any bad debts among the notes it assigned to PPL. The Company has recorded the present value of that obligation on its balance sheet as a debt. |
• | The Company also contracted to assume a contingent liability to reimburse PPL for the bad debts of certain customers if they filed for protection in bankruptcy. The contingency occurred in June 2005, and the Company became obligated to fund $140,709 over 10 years with an imputed interest rate of 6%. |
• | On August 4, 2009 PPL Spectrum Inc. commenced a legal action against the Company entitled “PPL Spectrum, Inc. and PPL Energy Services Holdings, LLC. v. National Energy Services Company, Inc.” the action is pending in Common Pleas Court in the County of Lehigh, State of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2009-C-4006. The complaint alleges that National Energy Services has failed to make payments due to PPL Spectrum, and demands damages in the amount of $435,745. National Energy Services, Inc. received a judgment in favor of PPL Spectrum on October 14, 2009. The Company accrued additional interest from October 14 through October 31, 2009 adding $1,275 and bringing the total to $437,020. |

Assets totaled $123,818 and $144,280 as of October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On both dates assets consisted primarily of notes receivable from our customers who financed through Charter Management and accounts receivable from current installations.
The addition of construction management operations provides the expansion to markets such alternative energy processing, medical treatment, and agricultural facilities. The contracts we have or are negotiating are all cost plus based with the add on ranging from 8-11%. These new revenues and substantial profits are expected to bring us acceptable financing opportunities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the financial statements the Company is required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values. In the preparation of the financial statements for fiscal year 2009, there was one estimate made which were (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty and (b) material to our results.
The estimate was the determination, detailed in Note 9 to the Financial Statements, that the Company should record a valuation allowance for the full value of the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss carry-forward. The primary reason for the determination was the lack of certainty as to whether the Company will carry on profitable operations in the future.
The Company made no material changes to critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2009.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. There were two accounting pronouncements that may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. To date, the adoption of this interpretation has not impacted the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On May 28, 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events.” The objective of this statement is to establish general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial reporting of the Company.

ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
The Company’s financial statements, together with notes and the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are set forth immediately following Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). In the course of that review, the Company’s management were advised by our independent registered public accounting firm, that during its performance of review procedures with respect to the financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2007, and subsequent reporting periods, it identified a material weakness (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 5) in our internal control over financial reporting. Friedman LLP identified the same material weakness and reiterated the former advice.
The material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping and accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees who have bookkeeping and accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. In light of the advice from our independent registered public accounting firm, management has considered adding personnel to the Company’s bookkeeping and accounting operations. However, as there has been no instance in which the company failed to identify or resolve a disclosure matter or failed to perform a timely and effective review, management determined that the addition of personnel to our bookkeeping and accounting operations is not an efficient use of our limited resources at this time.
Accordingly, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2009, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or persons performing similar functions) have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective.

(b) | Changes in internal controls. |
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or persons performing similar functions), has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(c) | Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of October 31, 2009, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weaknesses consisted of:
a.Inadequate staffing and supervision within the accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
Because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of October 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
National Energy Services Company, Inc.
Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of National Energy Services Company, Inc. (the “Company”), as of October 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2009. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of National Energy Services Company, Inc., as of October 31, 2009 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced substantial net losses for the year ended October 31, 2009 that has resulted in substantial accumulated deficits. The Company’s financial position and operating results raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS
National Energy Services Company, Inc. (“NES”) was incorporated on February 17, 1998 in Nevada as Coastal Enterprises, Inc. to engage in an internet-related business. The Company and National Energy Services Company, Inc., an unaffiliated New Jersey corporation formed in late 1995 (“NESNJ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated October 19, 2001, pursuant to which the shareholders of NESNJ on October 19, 2001 were issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock of NES, par value $0.001 in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of NESNJ, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. NESNJ operates the sales and service program of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.
The Company is engaged in the business of marketing a comprehensive energy management program for long- term care and hospitality facilities. The program features an upgrade to lighting fixtures, improved heating, venting and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment, and ozone laundry support systems (“OLSS”). The facilities generally recover the cost of these renovations through the monthly energy savings, resulting in no out-of-pocket costs to the facility.
In February of 2007, the Company began to offer an additional service. It provides telecommunications services to further assist in reducing its clients’ operating expenses. The Company is not affiliated with any one-service provider and is able to quote from various sources. This allows the Company to obtain the best solution for improving service quality for its customer.
The Company entered into a agreement to purchase an alternative energy construction management contract on January 21, 2010 as filed on Form 8-K on January 26, 2010. agreement required the officers and directors to resign except John O’Neill remained as a director and a new CEO, Secretary and director were seated. The CEO, Dr. John G Kalogeris is in search of additional directors and officers and business expansion opportunities. A complete business plan and the determination of existing products and programs to be continued will be completed by the end of February 2010. Many of the current product offerings are feasible and usable in the construction management business as all are energy efficient and therefore “green” as mandated in the construction management offerings. A change of voting control will take place on March 1, 2010 when all agreement and escrow terms have been completed.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial net losses for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 and has sustained large accumulated deficits as well as negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and management states that they are confident that they can improve operations and raise the appropriate funds needed through the advancements in energy conservation over the past year. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support those operations
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Revenue Recognition
The Company receives revenues according to agreements with its customers. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or services are rendered, evidence of a contract exists, the price is fixed or reasonably determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally three, five or seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Historical net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:
October 31, 2009 | October 31, 2008 | |||||||
Net Loss | $ | (591,109 | ) | $ | (713,316 | ) | ||
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Basic) | 30,866,348 | 29,746,536 | ||||||
Weighted-average common stock equivalents: | ||||||||

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Options and warrants outstanding to purchase stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS in 2009 and 2008 because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. There were 1,000,000 options and warrants available at October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Advertising
Costs of advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $1,667 and $15,371 for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications were made to the October 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2009 presentation. These had no effect on net loss or cash flow for the year ended October 31, 2008.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates Subsequent Events through the time of the filing of this Form 10-K on February 16, 2010. The Company is not aware of any other significant events that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See NOTE - 12 below.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events.” The objective of this statement is to establish general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial reporting of the Company.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168) will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted account principals (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, America Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. ASC 105 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. ASC 105 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. All future referenced to authoritative accounting literature in our financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009 will be referenced in accordance to ASC 105.

NOTE 4-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 which defines fair value measurement guidelines and the Company believes its application provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs- Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Inputs- Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 Inputs- Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

NOTE 5 -DEBT
The Company had a $200,000 note, which carried an interest rate of the issuing bank’s prime rate plus 1% (6.00% at October 31, 2008). The loan was originally a line of credit when acquired in February 2004, and converted into a 4-year loan. As of October 31, 2008 the balance was $2,377 which was classified as current. The loan was secured by substantially all corporate assets and a shareholder/officer guarantee. The loan was repaid in 2009.
Debt also consists of residual liabilities arising from the Company’s now-terminated financing arrangements with PPL Spectrum, Inc. (“PPL”). In prior fiscal years, PPL provided financing to the Company’s clients in connection with the Company’s Energy Gatekeeper Program. Under its arrangement with PPL, the Company executed notes payable to PPL for the amount of the financing, and took notes receivable from the client in like amount.
Effective March 1, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with PPL in which the Company assigned the client notes to PPL, and PPL released the Company from liability under its notes to PPL. That transaction reduced the Company’s assets by $3,062,257, the amount of the notes assigned to PPL, and reduced the Company’s liabilities by the same amount, representing the Company’s obligation on the note released by PPL. At the same time, however, the Company contracted to pay $1,400 per month toward a reserve for any bad debts among the notes it assigned to PPL. The Company has recorded the present value of that obligation on its balance sheet as a debt.
Additionally, the Company has also contracted to fund a contingent liability to reimburse PPL for bad debts of certain customers should the customer file for protection in bankruptcy. The agreement was consummated in June 2005, and the Company became obligated to fund $140,709 over a ten (10) year period. This obligation carries an imputed interest rate of 6%.
During its 2004 fiscal year, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with PPL with respect to certain aged obligations from the Company to PPL. The payables were consolidated into a three-year promissory note in the amount of $314,047 bearing interest at 18% per annum. Effective March 1, 2005, this note was renegotiated to lower the interest rate to 8%. The balance due on the note at March 1, 2005 was $219,473 payable over seven years.
On August 4, 2009 PPL Spectrum Inc. commenced a legal action against the Company entitled “PPL Spectrum, Inc. and PPL Energy Services Holdings, LLC. v. National Energy Services Company, Inc.” the action in Common pleas Court in the County of Lehigh, State of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2009-C-4006.

Further requirements cause the shares for the transaction to be placed in escrow until all sales tax debts are paid or have been negotiated for payment and the payment of certain debts to prior management and a counsel to the Company have been paid on or before March 1, 2010. When these requirements are met the Company will have a reduction in the notes payable - related parties to $400,000 that is expected to result in a reduction of debt of approximately $940,000 that will be reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
