Sikanni Reports 2007 Second Quarter Results

29/08/2007 2:15pm

Marketwired Canada


SIKANNI SERVICES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:SKI) ("Sikanni" or the "Corporation") is
pleased to announce its operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007
("Q2 2007").


Consolidated revenues increased to $ 4.4 million for Q2 2007 from $1.0 million
for Q2 2006 and the Company finished with $0.5 million of positive Ebitda during
a quarter that was impacted by reduced capital spending and prolonged wet
weather. The increase in the quarterly and year-to-date results is attributable
to the impact of strategic acquisitions and the deployment of additional
equipment and resources. The financial results for the three months ended June
30, 2007 include Sikanni and Twilight Oilfield Hauling for the entire quarter
and the results of Northwell Oilfield Hauling for 12 days only. The full impact
of the Northwell acquisition will be seen in Q3 2006.


"Our Q2 results were well below our expectations but were consistent with our
industry peers. No one is immune to industry trends, but we are pleased to have
finished the quarter with positive Ebitda.", reported Rod MacDonald, President
and CEO of Sikanni, "With the recent addition of Northwell and our expansion
into the US markets, we are positioning Sikanni to withstand short term industry
cycles and provide long term value to our shareholders."

Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2007

- Generated revenues of $4.4 million and positive Ebitda of $0.5 million during
a period of challenging industry activity levels.


- Acquired Northwell Oilfield Hauling Ltd. on June 18, 2007 for cash
consideration of $13.9 million and 4.4 million shares of Sikanni, adding a
profitable operation with an enviable track record and strategic locations in
Swan Hills and Fox Creek in the process. The entire management and operating
teams were retained and will continue to operate this business going forward.


Northwell is primarily focused on production related oilfield transportation,
which typically generates more stable revenue steams that are less impacted by
drilling levels. The results of operations include the Northwell activity for
the 12 day period commencing on June 19, 2007.


- Closed the sale of an additional 4,570,683 common shares for gross proceeds of
$2,742,410 in connection with the over-allotment option in the prospectus.


- Expanded its operations into the US market with a long term contract to supply
40 wheeled frac tanks to a US based energy services company.


- Commenced the EUB approval process for the first of its waste management
facilities. Although construction will not commence until final approval has
been rendered, the Company is hopeful it will begin operating during Q1 2008.


Outlook

Second quarter activity levels in 2007 were below levels seen for several years
in Western Canada as the industry experienced prolonged wet weather conditions,
reduced drilling activity and weaknesses in the underlying commodity prices. The
Company expects to see an improvement its financial performance during Q3 2007,
as activity levels increase from the Q2 2007 levels. However, management
anticipates that there will continue to be volatility in the sector and that
industry activity levels will remain below the comparative for Q3 2006. While
management acknowledges that commodity pricing is subject to a wide range of
external factors that can materially impact industry activity levels, they
remain cautiously optimistic that activity levels will begin to increase during
Q4 2007 and continue on into 2008.


The Petroleum Services Association of Canada has forecasted a 25% decline in
wells drilled in 2007 from 2006. Management expects that this reduction will be
manifested in competitive pricing pressures for the remaining service work. This
pricing trend was experienced in Q2 and has continued into Q3.


At the end Q2 2007, the Company closed the Northwell acquisition, which was both
accretive and strategic to its goal of expanding its oilfield services.
Management expects that Northwell will positively impact the Q3 2007 results and
that the combined operations will benefit from a broader service line, more
geographic diversity and the ability to cross sell services to a larger customer
base.


The Company entered into an equipment rental contract with a US based customer
during Q2 2007 and will continue to seek out market opportunities for strategic
advantage and strong organic growth.


Management is adapting to difficult industry conditions by remaining extremely
focused on minimizing overhead costs, scrutinizing all capital expenditures,
concentrating on its core businesses and being receptive to strategic
acquisition opportunities that are accretive to its shareholders. The management
and directors of Sikanni are collectively focused on positioning the Company for
significant growth when the industry returns to historical activity levels.
