On February 13, 2008, Energy Services Acquisition Corp. (the "Company")
entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire C.J. Hughes Construction
Company, Inc., Huntington, West Virginia ("C.J. Hughes"). The Company believes

operations to provide services to the companies serving the utilities and energy
industry. Marshall T. Reynolds, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary, and Directors Neal Scaggs and Edsel R. Burns are
shareholders of C.J. Hughes. Additionally, Mr. Burns serves as President of C.J.
Hughes.
On February 14, 2008, the Company announced that it may terminate the Stock
Purchase Agreement with GasSearch Corporation and GasSearch Drilling Services
Corporation after it was advised that COG Finance Corporation indicated its
intent to exercise its option to acquire GasSearch Drilling.
