Energy Services of America Corporation Announces results for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2012

HUNTINGTON, W.Va., Aug. 10, 2012

Marshall T. Reynolds, Chairman, discussed the performance for the quarter and six months.  "The losses for the current period are disappointing.  We have experienced continued losses on the Job that resulted in losses in the last quarter.  We have also experienced lower revenues for the quarter with the industry slowdown.  Although our backlog currently totals $100,000,000, the larger portion of that will result in revenues in the next fiscal year.  We are focusing on ways to restore the Company's profitability on a sustained basis.  These efforts include restructuring our internal operations, looking at ways to diversify our product line and reviewing potential expansion our geographic locations.  We have employed some financial and management advisors to help us with this process, and are working diligently towards that end."

Edsel R. Burns, President of ESA, added.  "Long term, there appears to be continued demand for our services and also several opportunities to diversify the company.  The projects in which we have incurred losses that hurt our performance are now almost completely finished .  As Chairman Reynolds noted, we currently are focused on our internal structure and looking for ways to improve our performance moving forward."  Key information at June 30, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:
