OUTLOOK

Enseco's record performance is a direct result of its successful expansion into
both the Canadian and United States resource plays. In 2013 Enseco will focus on
a strategy for continued growth in these geographical areas by expanding its US
production testing fleet and targeting US directional drilling opportunities.


Enseco is well positioned in the current commodity price environment with the
majority of its income related to horizontal oil and liquids drilling activity.
Enseco has focused its operating areas in some of the most economic resource
plays in the US and Canada, such as the Bakken in both Canada and the United
States in which the underlying fundamentals should remain strong. The Company
will continue to work with its customers to refine existing technology and
processes to allow the Company to have continued success during times when
commodity pricing is turbulent.


The Company has developed a capital program that allows it to be flexible to
market changes and industry demand. This flexibility will allow the Company to
deploy new equipment only in areas where it can be fully utilized.


In fiscal 2012 the Company embarked on developing an in house motor repair
facility. In June 2012 this facility become operational providing the Company
with the ability to repair a significant portion of its motor fleet. Management
expects to achieve a major reduction in repair and rental costs as well as
improved efficiency and decreased downtime.


The Company will experience the benefits from the new motor shop facility in
Leduc, Alberta in the coming year. The major benefits from repairing motors in
house will ultimately be to provide better service quality to our customers.


Directional and horizontal drilling continues to increase as a percentage of
total wells drilled and now comprises over 80% of total wells drilled. Demand
for the Company's directional drilling services and production testing frac
flowback services are expected to continue to remain strong. Longer, more
complex, flow back operations are expected to continue to increase the
requirements for production testing services in both Canada and the US.


The Company continues to successfully leverage the service quality of all its
divisions resulting in overall improved margins companywide. The improved
service quality has well positioned the Company for future growth in all
divisions.


With continued and increasing positive cash flow, Enseco is focused on
accelerating its expansion into the US and reducing overall debt levels while
opportunistically increasing its capital expenditures to take advantage of the
growth in our core operating areas. Enseco is also able to redeploy equipment
between Canada and the US as demand changes between these two operating basins.


It is expected that the pursuit of these growth opportunities, accompanied by
initiatives to improve margin efficiency, and reduced debt levels, will continue
to improve the Company's financial performance in the future.


PROPERTY

On March 8, 2012 the Company completed the previously announced sale of a first
secured mortgage (the "Mortgage") held by the Company over certain real property
located in British Columbia to a company controlled by the former President and
Chief Executive Officer of Enseco, for gross proceeds of $750,000. The proceeds
from the sale of the Mortgage were used to fund the Company's capital program.


FILINGS

Enseco will be filing later today with Canadian securities regulatory
authorities its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2012 and the accompanying management's discussion and analysis
("MD&A"). These filings will be available under Enseco's SEDAR profile at
