                  ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Unaudited Financial Statements

The  consolidated financial  statements  included herein  have been  prepared by
Energy Service Company,  Inc. (the  "Company"), without audit,  pursuant to  the
rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  in
accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles and, in the opinion of
management,  reflect   all  adjustments  (which  consist   of  normal  recurring
adjustments) which  are  necessary  for  a  fair statement  of  the  results  of
operations for the interim periods presented.

In   August  1993,  the  Company   completed  the     acquisition  (the  "Penrod
Acquisition") of the remaining  63.7% of the outstanding common  stock of Penrod
Holding  Corporation  ("Penrod") that  was not  then  beneficially owned  by the
Company.   The Company  has included  the income  from continuing  operations of
Penrod in its consolidated  results of operations beginning January 1,  1993 and
has  presented the preacquisition earnings  attributable to the  63.7% of Penrod
that the  Company did  not  own prior  to the  Penrod  Acquisition as  "Minority
Interest" in calculating  the Company's net income for the  three and six months
ended June 30, 1993.

The Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1993 does not include the cash provided by operating activities of Penrod or
the cash flows from investing and financing activities of Penrod. 

Certain previously reported  amounts have  been reclassified to  conform to  the
1994 presentation.

It  is  recommended that  these  statements  be  read in  conjunction  with  the
Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1993 included in the  Company's Annual Report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.


Note 2 - Acquisition

On February 14, 1994, the Company purchased two jackup rigs located in the North
Sea and simultaneously entered into a bareboat charter agreement with the seller
for an initial twelve month period, with the seller having the option to  extend
the charter for an additional twelve months under the same terms as the original
agreement.  The purchase price consisted of $50.0 million paid at closing and an
additional $6.0 million  to be  credited against the  bareboat charter  payments
during  the last  four  months  of the  initial  twelve  month bareboat  charter
agreement.


Note 3 - Disposition

On June 30, 1994, the Company  completed the sale of its United States  land rig
operations consisting  of twelve land  rigs and related  equipment and  pipe, as
well as  an office building  and yard, to an  unrelated third party.   The total
purchase  price was approximately $15.5 million consisting of cash, a promissory
<PAGE>




note  and  receivables.    Included  under  the  caption  "Other,  net"  in  the
consolidated statement  of  operations  is  a  loss on  the  sale  of  $201,000.
Revenues for the United States land rig operations  for the three and six months
ended  June 30, 1994 were $3.9 million  and $9.5 million, respectively, and $4.7
million and  $8.8 million  for the  three and  six months  ended June 30,  1993,
respectively.


Note 4 - Debt

In  December  1993,  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  entered  into  a financing
arrangement with a subsidiary of  a Japanese corporation in connection  with the
construction of four barge drilling  rigs to be completed in 1994.  As  of  June
30,  1994, the  Company's  subsidiary  had  borrowed  $33.4  million  under  the
financing arrangement.  The  construction loans carry a floating  interest rate,
which was 5.88%  at June 30, 1994.   The construction  loans are secured by  the
four barge drilling rigs under construction, which had a combined net book value
of  $51.2 million at  June  30,  1994.   Upon completion of  construction of the
barge drilling  rigs, the interim construction  loans are expected to  be repaid
from  the  proceeds  of  separate  secured  term  loans  made  by  the  Japanese
corporation  to a subsidiary of ENSCO  Drilling (Caribbean), Inc.  The financing
agreement provides that each loan is to be secured by a specific  barge drilling
rig and the related  charter contract.  The aggregate amount of the secured term
loans is anticipated  to be  approximately $78.0 million  upon completion.   The
interest rate on the secured term loans will be fixed within four months of when
the rigs  are placed into service.   The financing agreement  provides that upon
completion of construction  the secured term  loans will be without  recourse to
the Company.  

In March  1994,  the Company  redeemed its  convertible subordinated  debentures
consisting of $5.1  million principal amount  of 8.25% convertible  subordinated
debentures which were originally due July 1, 1995.
     

Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity

At the  Company's Annual  Meeting  of Stockholders  held on  May  24, 1994,  the
stockholders approved a one share for four shares reverse stock  split ("reverse
stock  split")  of the  Company's common  stock.   The  reverse stock  split was
effective  June 1, 1994.  Accordingly, all  weighted average share and per share
amounts have been restated for both  1993 and 1994 to reflect the reverse  stock
split.  In connection with  the reverse stock split, the aggregate  par value of
the common  stock was reduced  and additional paid-in  capital was  increased to
reflect  the decreased  aggregate  par value  of  the common  stock  outstanding
subsequent to the reverse stock split.


Note 6 - Provision for Income Taxes

The  income tax provisions  for the  three and  six months  ended June  30, 1994
include provisions for U.S.  alternative minimum taxes and for  deferred foreign
taxes,  primarily for  operations  in  Venezuela and  the  United  Kingdom.   No
provision for regular U.S. federal income  taxes has been recorded for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1994 due to the utilization of net  operating loss
carryforwards to offset taxes currently payable.  
<PAGE>




At June  30, 1994,  the  Company had  regular and  alternative  minimum tax  net
operating loss and  investment tax credit carryforwards  of approximately $302.6
million, $189.8 million, and $3.6 million, respectively.  


Note 7 - Subsequent Event

On  July 22,  1994, the  Company  announced that  it will  redeem the  2,839,100
outstanding shares  of the  Company's $1.50 Cumulative  Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock  ("$1.50 Preferred Stock")  on August 26, 1994.   The redemption
price for the  $1.50 Preferred Stock is $25.60 per  share plus accrued dividends
of $.175 to the  date of redemption.  Holders  of the $1.50 Preferred  Stock may
elect to  convert each  share of  the $1.50  Preferred Stock into  approximately
1.786 shares  of the Company's common  stock, based upon the  $25.00 liquidation
preference  and the $14.00  conversion price  per share  of the  $1.50 Preferred
Stock.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

The  Company conducts its business  in three primary  operating segments serving
the  oil  and  gas  industry:  contract  drilling,  marine  transportation,  and
technical services.  The demand for  services provided by the Company and, thus,
the operating results  of the  Company are significantly  affected by  worldwide
expenditures of  the energy industry  for oil and gas  drilling, particularly in
the Gulf of Mexico where the  Company has a large concentration of its  rigs and
vessels.  Expenditures for oil  and gas drilling activities have  been generally
depressed since  the early 1980's  when a sharp decline  in oil and  natural gas
prices led to reduced exploration and development activities.  

A  general  increase in  U.S. natural  gas  prices in  the  second half  of 1992
resulted in increased exploration and development activity, particularly  in the
Gulf  of Mexico,  which  continued throughout  1993.   This  increased  activity
resulted in higher average day rates and utilization levels for offshore rigs in
the Gulf of  Mexico throughout  1993, which  caused the  Company's revenues  and
operating margins to improve.  However, oil prices declined in late 1993 causing
a  number of  competitor's rigs to  be mobilized  to the  Gulf of Mexico.   This
increase in  the supply of drilling  rigs resulted in reduced  average day rates
for the Company's Gulf of Mexico rigs over the course of 1994.

Offshore rig and oilfield supply  vessel industry utilization for the three  and
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 is summarized below:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In August 1993, the Company completed the acquisition (the "Penrod Acquisition")
of  the  remaining 63.7%  of  the  outstanding common  stock  of  Penrod Holding
Corporation ("Penrod") that was not then beneficially owned by the Company.  The
Company has included the operating results of Penrod in its consolidated results
of  operations  beginning  January   1,  1993.    The  preacquisition   earnings
attributable  to the 63.7% of  Penrod that the Company did  not own prior to the
Penrod Acquisition has been deducted   as "Minority Interest" in calculating the
Company's net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1993.

The  following analysis highlights the Company's operating results for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

The Company's  consolidated revenues and operating margins (defined as operating
revenues  less operating  expenses, exclusive  of depreciation  and general  and
administrative  expenses) for  the three  months ended  June 30,  1994 increased
15.1%  and 42.5%,  respectively, and  for  the six  months ended  June 30,  1994
increased 20.3% and  69.5%, respectively, over comparable 1993 levels.  The 1994
increases  are primarily  attributable  to higher  domestic  day rates  for  the
Company's contract drilling and marine  transportation segments in comparison to
1993 levels. 

The Company reported significant increases in operating income for the three and
six months  ended June 30, 1994  of 90.1% and 231.0%,  respectively, compared to
the  same periods  in 1993.   The increases  in operating  income were primarily
attributable  to higher domestic day  rates for the  Company's contract drilling
and  marine transportation  segments  and were  also  positively impacted  by  a
reduction in general and administrative costs for the three and six months ended
June  30,  1994 of  $1.0  million  and  $2.0  million,  respectively,  from  the
comparable 1993 periods.  Operating income was negatively impacted by additional
depreciation and amortization  expense for the three  and six months ended  June
30, 1994, as compared to the same  periods in 1993, related to the  depreciation
on the  four barge drilling rigs delivered to Venezuela in March through June of
1993,  depreciation on  the two North  Sea jackup rigs  acquired in mid-February
1994, and depreciation and  amortization of the additional value assigned to the
assets  acquired in  the Penrod  Acquisition resulting  form the  application of
purchase accounting.

Revenues and  operating margins for  the Company's jackup rigs  operating in the
U.S. increased  substantially for the three  and six months ended  June 30, 1994
compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to improved market
<PAGE>




conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and to the relocation of  three additional rigs
to the Gulf of Mexico in the second, third and fourth quarters of 1993.  For the
three and six months  ended June 30, 1994,  average day rates for  the Company's
rigs in the Gulf of Mexico increased by 13.4% and  27.6%, respectively, compared
to  the same  periods in  1993, with  results offset  partially by  decreases in
utilization from the prior year same periods.  The decreased utilization in 1994
was  due in  part to  two of  the  Company's Gulf  of Mexico  jackup rigs  being
upgraded in the first three months of 1994 and not available for work.

Revenues and operating margins  for the Company's international jackup  rigs for
the three months ended June 30, 1994 increased by 13.8% and 89.9%, respectively,
from the prior year same periods.  The 1994 increases are primarily attributable
to  the  two North  Sea  rigs acquired  in  mid-February 1994,  which  are under
bareboat charter agreements.  

The Company's international jackup rig revenues decreased by 11.8% and operating
margin increased by 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the
same period  in 1993.   The revenue  decrease is primarily  attributable to  the
mobilization  in the second, third and  fourth quarters of 1993  of three of the
Company's rigs located in the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico.  These  rigs were
included in the international jackup rig results for a portion or all of the six
months ended  June 30, 1993.  The revenue decrease  was partially offset by, and
the operating margin increase was  primarily attributable to, the two  North Sea
jackup rigs acquired in mid-February 1994.

The  Company's  jackup rig  offshore Brazil  completed  its contract  during the
second  quarter of 1994 and is currently being  mobilized to the Gulf of Mexico.
The cost of  the mobilization, estimated to be $1.5 million, will be expensed in
the third quarter.  The rig will be put in the shipyard upon arrival in the U.S.
for  enhancements, including extending the rig's water depth capability from 300
feet  to 350 feet.   Due to the mobilization  and shipyard enhancements, the rig
will be unavailable for work in the third quarter of 1994.

The Company's barge drilling rigs are all located on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. 
Revenues and operating margins  from the Company's barges in  Venezuela improved
substantially  for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1994 compared to the
same periods in 1993, primarily due to the addition of four barge drilling rigs.
The  four  additional  rigs  operate under  separate  five-year  contracts  with
Lagoven,  S.A. ("Lagoven"), a subsidiary of the Venezuelan national oil company.
Two of  the barge drilling rigs  commenced drilling operations in  March and May
1993,  with the other two  barges commencing operations  in June 1993.   In late
1993, the Company  entered into contracts with  Lagoven for four additional  new
barge drilling rigs, which will operate on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela pursuant to
five year firm contracts.  The first of these new barges commenced operations on
July  10, 1994  and  the other  three barges  are  expected to  be  operating by
September 30, 1994. 

Revenues and operating margins for the land rig operations for the three and six
months  ended June 30,  1994 decreased from  the prior  year same periods.   The
decreases are primarily attributable to decreased utilization, offset in part by
increased  day rates.  On June  30, 1994, the Company completed  the sale of its
United  States land  rig  operations, which  included twelve  land  rigs, to  an
unrelated  third party.   The Company  continues to  own four land  rigs, all of
which are located in the Middle East.

The Company's marine  transportation division currently operates  39 vessels, of
which  35  are  owned  by  the  Company  and  four  are  leased under  long-term
agreements.  The  Company operated  four vessels in  Singapore, through a  joint
venture, during the second half of 1993 and most of the first half of 1994.  The
Singapore joint venture was terminated in May 1994 and  three of the vessels are
currently being  mobilized to the  Gulf of Mexico  and the remaining  vessel was
sold effective  June 30, 1994.   During most of  1993, the Company  operated two
vessels  offshore Brazil.   One vessel  returned to  the Gulf  of Mexico  in the
fourth quarter of  1993 and the other vessel  returned to the Gulf of  Mexico in
February 1994.

The Company's marine transportation segment reported increased operating margins
in  1994 compared to the  1993 three and six month  periods due to increased day
rates, even though  gross revenues  are comparable.   The 1993 results  included
substantial lump-sum mobilization  revenue, which is generally  greater than day
rate revenues, and included  the substantially higher cost associated  with this
type of work.

Drilling activity steadily  increased in the Gulf of Mexico during 1993, causing
utilization and day  rates for  the Company's marine  transportation vessels  to
increase throughout  1993.  However, day rates  on new contracts in  the Gulf of
Mexico began to soften in the first quarter of 1994 and such softening continued
into the second quarter of 1994.  Management anticipates that  average day rates
for marine transportation vessels should  remain steady in the third  quarter of
<PAGE>




1994  as compared  to the second  quarter of  1994 with some  improvement in the
fourth quarter.

The Company conducts its  technical services operations primarily in  the Austin
Chalk  trend of Texas.  The Company's  horizontal drilling activity  declined in
the three months ended June 30, 1994 and was flat for the six months  ended June
30, 1994 as compared  to the same periods  of 1993.  However,  operating margins
improved for  the three and six months  ended June 30, 1994,  as compared to the
same periods in 1993, primarily due  to reduced operating expenses.  The Company
intends  to focus  primarily on  opportunities in  the U.S.  and Canada  for its
technical services segment in 1994. 

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation  and Amortization expense for  the three and  six months ended June
30, 1994 increased by $3.2 million  and $6.2 million, respectively, compared  to
the  same  periods  in  1993.   The  increases  are  primarily  attributable  to
depreciation on the  four barge drilling  rigs delivered  to Venezuela in  March
through June of  1993, depreciation on the two North Sea jackup rigs acquired in
mid-February 1994, and depreciation  and amortization related to the  step-up in
basis of the assets acquired in the Penrod Acquisition.    
<PAGE>




General and Administrative

General and Administrative expense for  the three and six months ended  June 30,
1994 decreased by $1.0 million  and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to  the
same  periods  in  1993.    The  decreases  are  primarily  attributable to  the
consolidation  of  Penrod's  general   and  administrative  functions  with  the
Company's in 1993 following the Penrod Acquisition.  

Interest Income      

Interest income increased for the  three and six months  ended June 30, 1994  by
$306,000 and $799,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1993 due to
higher average cash levels and a general increase in interest rates.

Interest Expense      

Interest expense increased  for the three and six months ended  June 30, 1994 by
$239,000 and $944,000,  respectively, compared to the  same periods in  1993 due
primarily to higher average levels of debt outstanding.

Income from Equity Affiliates, net

Income  from Equity Affiliates, net for the  three and six months ended June 30,
1994  consists of the  Company's 50% share  of the earnings (loss)  of a Mexican
joint venture formed in June 1993 to operate a  jackup rig in the Gulf of Mexico
and a joint venture in Singapore formed in August 1993 to operate marine vessels
in Southeast Asia.  The Singapore joint venture was terminated in May 1994.

Other, net

Other, net  for the  three  months ended  June 30,  1994  consists primarily  of
foreign currency  translation losses and the  loss on the sale  of the Company's
United States land rig operations, offset by other miscellaneous income.  Other,
net for  the six  months ended  June 30,  1994 consists  primarily of  the items
discussed above and was further offset by net gains on the sale of equipment and
net   gains  related  to  equipment   lost  downhole  for   which  the  customer
reimbursement exceeded the net book value of the equipment lost.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provisions  of $1.0 million and $2.2 million for
the three and six months ended June 30,  1994, respectively, as compared to $2.3
million  and $3.6  million for  the three and  six months  ended June  30, 1993,
respectively.   The 1994 provisions  include U.S. alternative  minimum taxes and
deferred  foreign  taxes  primarily  related  to  the  Company's  operations  in
Venezuela and the United Kingdom.  The 1993 provisions were primarily related to
deferred foreign taxes in Venezuela and the United Kingdom.   

At June  30, 1994,  the  Company had  regular and  alternative  minimum tax  net
operating loss and investment  tax credit carryforwards of approximately  $302.6
million, $189.8 million, and $3.6 million, respectively.  

Minority Interest

Minority Interest for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1994 decreased by
$1.5  million and  $1.8 million, respectively,  compared to the  same periods in
<PAGE>




1993.     The  minority  interest  charges  for  1994  relate  to  the  minority
shareholder's interest in  the net  income of ENSCO  Drilling (Caribbean),  Inc.
("Caribbean").  The 1993  charges include the minority shareholders  interest in
the net income of Caribbean and $1.6 million and  $2.5 million for the three and
six  months ended June 30,  1993, respectively, for  the preacquisition earnings
related to the 63.7% of Penrod which the Company did not own prior to the Penrod
Acquisition.     


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1993  does not include the  cash provided by operating  activities of Penrod
nor the cash flows from Penrod's investing and financing activities.

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures      

The Company's  cash flow  from operations and  capital expenditures for  the six
months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are as follows (in thousands):   

                                          1994       1993   

          Cash Flow from Operations     $ 64,014   $ 28,956      
          Capital Expenditures           109,310     66,926

Cash flow  from operations increased  $35.1 million in  the first six  months of
1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  The improved cash flow is primarily a
result of  improved  operations  and the  contribution  from the  cash  flow  of
Penrod's operations.

The  Company's  capital expenditures  for  the six  months ended  June  30, 1994
consisted principally of  $55.7 million for the purchase of  the two jackup rigs
located in the North Sea, $40.2 million towards the construction of the four new
barge drilling rigs to  be delivered to Venezuela in the  third quarter of 1994,
$10.6  million  for  contract drilling  equipment  and  $2.8  million for  other
equipment, primarily  for marine  transportation vessels and  technical services
operations.  Management anticipates that capital expenditures in 1994 will total
approximately  $40.0 million for existing operations, $64.0 million  towards the
construction  of the  four new  barge drilling  rigs and  $55.7 million  for the
purchase of the two jackup rigs located in the North Sea.

Financing and Capital Resources     

The Company's long-term  debt, total capital and debt to  capital ratios at June
30, 1994  and December  31,  1993 are  summarized  below (in  thousands,  except

In  March 1994,  the Company  redeemed its  convertible  subordinated debentures
consisting of  $5.1 million principal  amount of 8.25%  convertible subordinated
debentures which  were originally due July 1, 1995.  The Company's cash reserves
were used to redeem the convertible subordinated debentures.  

In  November  1993, Caribbean  signed  four  separate five-year  contracts  with
Lagoven, a subsidiary  of the Venezuelan national  oil company, to  operate four
barge drilling rigs on Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela.  The first of the four barge
drilling rigs  commenced operations on  July 10,  1994 and the  other three  are
expected to be operating  by September 30, 1994.  In December 1993, a subsidiary
of  Caribbean  entered  into a  financing  arrangement with  a  subsidiary  of a
Japanese  corporation  in connection  with the  construction  of the  four barge
drilling rigs  to be completed  in 1994.   As  of June 30,  1994, the  Company's
subsidiary  had borrowed  $33.4 million  under the  financing arrangement.   The
construction loans carry a floating  interest rate, which was 5.88% at  June 30,
1994.  The construction loans are secured by  the four barge drilling rigs under
construction, which had  a combined net book value of $51.2  million at June 30,
1994.  Upon completion of construction,  the construction loans are expected  to
be repaid from the proceeds of separate secured term loans  made by the Japanese
corporation to a subsidiary of Caribbean.  The financing agreement provides that
each loan  is to be  secured by  a specific barge  drilling rig and  the related
charter contract.  The aggregate amount of the secured term loans is anticipated
to be  approximately $78.0 million  upon completion.   The interest rate  on the
secured term loans will be  fixed within four months of when the rigs are placed
into  service.   The  financing  agreement  provides  that  upon  completion  of
construction  the secured term  loans will be  without recourse  to the Company.
Under  the terms of the Lagoven contracts, the  barges will earn day rates which
the Company believes will be sufficient to fully amortize the loans. 

In December 1993, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a $100.0 million loan
arrangement with a  group of international  banks.  The  facility consists of  a
$60.0 million  secured term loan and  a $40.0 million revolving  line of credit.
Proceeds  of  the secured  term  loan  were used  to  repay  a revolving  credit
agreement and existing term loans of Penrod.  The revolver will be reduced semi-
annually  by $1.0  million over  five years  with the  final $30.0  million line
expiring at the  end of the  five year term.   The  facility carries a  floating
interest  rate, which was 6.56% at  June 30, 1994.  The  revolver portion of the
facility was undrawn at June 30, 1994.

On July 22, 1994, the Company announced that it will redeem the 2,839,100 shares
of  the  Company's $1.50  Cumulative  Convertible  Exchangeable Preferred  Stock
("$1.50 Preferred  Stock") on August  26, 1994.   The redemption  price for  the
$1.50 Preferred Stock is $25.60 per share plus accrued dividends of $.175 to the
date of  redemption.  Holders of the $1.50  Preferred Stock may elect to convert
each share of the $1.50  Preferred Stock into approximately 1.786 shares  of the
Company's common stock,  based upon  the $25.00 liquidation  preference and  the
$14.00 conversion  price per share  of the $1.50  Preferred Stock.   The Company
expects to  use existing cash  to redeem  any remainder of  the $1.50  Preferred
Stock that is not converted.

The  Company's liquidity  position at  June 30,  1994 and  December 31,  1993 is
summarized in the table below (in thousands, except ratios):

            Working Capital            91,752      127,105
            Current Ratio                 2.2          2.9

Based  on current energy industry conditions, management believes cash flow from
operations,  the Company's existing credit  facilities and the Company's working
capital should be sufficient  to fund the  Company's debt and capital  additions
for the next twelve months.

            - To elect two Class I directors;  "Proposal 2" - To approve  a
            reverse  stock  split  of  the  Company's  stock  whereby  each

            0.25 of a  share of new  common stock;  and "Proposal  3" -  To

            statement, dated  April 11,  1994, relating to the  1994 annual
