The Company will continue to evaluate its opportunities to expand the Company through additional and complementary service lines, organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

Secured Debt Financings

The Company has entered into term sheets for a total of $5.35 million of secured debt financing, subject to regulatory approval.

The Company has entered into a term sheet for a secured debt facility of $4.25 million with a Canadian based mezzanine lender (the "Lender") with a term to June 30, 2014. The facility provides for initial funding of $1.5 million at closing, with the remaining $2.75 million to be available upon completion of the workover of the Company's disposal well at Chamberlain. The facility bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and the Company has agreed to issue the Lender 1,333,333 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") at closing, subject to a four month hold period of which 666,666 Common Shares will be held in escrow and released pro-rata with further facility advances.

The Company has also entered into term sheets for a secured debt facility for gross proceeds of $1.1 million with a group of investors ("Investor Lenders"), which includes an affiliate of an officer and director, with a term to June 30, 2014. The facility also bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and requires a deferred payment on repayment of the loan of $66,000 or 165,000 Common Shares, at the option of the Investor Lenders.

Collectively, these debt financings (the "Debt Financings") provide the capital to fund the estimated capital expenditures and working capital requirements of the Company for the balance of 2013.

Management Role Change
