Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2013



--  The USA directional division made outstanding strides this year,
    specifically this past quarter. During the third quarter of 2013, the
    division increased its sales and operational base with the addition of
    new personnel. Through the last quarter of 2013 the division
    successfully added several new clients and has seen a remarkable
    improvement in its revenue and service quality. The division will be a
    highlight for 2014 as it continues to expand its geographical markets
    and customer base.

--  Enseco has spent the last few years making advancements to its in-house
    MWD system and improving its reliability and service quality. This
    continues to benefit the Company and its clients by means of decreased
    downtime and higher utilizations. As part of this effort, the Company
    has taken opportunities to sell non-core MWD technology and replace
    these non-core MWD platforms with its own. Enseco's own MWD has been
    operating at levels of reliability not seen before and it is expected to
    only improve as the Company continues to make changes and advancements
    to the equipment. 



Outlook

Enseco expects growth and expansion from both of its USA divisions. Both the
directional and testing divisions are expanding their geographic markets and
their customer base. The Company expects most of its revenue growth to come from
the division's operating in the USA.


The Company will search for efficiencies and cost reductions to increase its
gross margins and EBITDAS. It is expected that the pursuit of these
opportunities, accompanied by initiatives to both improve margin efficiency, and
reduce debt levels, will improve the Company's financial performance going
forward.

audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013
and accompanying management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"). These filings

factors include, but are not limited to, such things as changes in industry
conditions (including the levels of capital expenditures made by oil and gas
producers and explorers), the credit risk to which the Company is exposed in the
conduct of its business, fluctuations in prevailing commodity prices or currency

Non-IFRS Measures 

EBITDAS means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
and stock-based compensation and is equal to earnings before income taxes from
continuing operations plus interest on debt, other charges and interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign
exchange loss, and loss on sale of equipment. Adjusted gross margin from
continuing operations equals gross margin, plus interest on debt, other charges
and interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,
impairment loss/recovery, and loss on sale of equipment. Cash flow means cash
flows provided by continuing operations before changes in non-cash working
capital items. 


EBITDAS, adjusted gross margin from continuing operations, and cash flows from
continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital items are not
recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
Management believes that in addition to net losses, EBITDAS and cash flows, are
useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results
generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of
how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in
various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary
business activities. Readers should be cautioned, however, that EBITDAS and cash
flows from continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital
items should not be construed as an alternative to net losses determined in
accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Enseco's performance. Enseco's method of
calculating operating losses, EBITDAS and cash flows from continuing operations
before changes in non-cash working capital items may differ from other
organizations and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to measures
used by other organizations. For reconciliation to the appropriate IFRS measure,
see our MD&A.
