INDUSTRIAL SERVICES
ClearStream's improved results for the period ended June 30, 2013 reflect a strong performance of the underlying businesses. On a divisional basis, higher business volumes from the Wear and Oil Sands divisions drove the improved results. In addition to this, ClearStream has experienced improvements in gross margins across most of its divisions. The business is beginning to realize the organizational benefits and synergies of operating under the one company strategy which has been implemented over the past two years.
Quantum Murray's results have improved over the same quarter in the prior year, however the results are still disappointing. The Demolition division has been successful in bidding on and effectively executing several smaller and medium sized projects. Activity in the Pacific Remediation division of Quantum Murray has been stronger, however volumes in the Hazmat division have been lower than usual.
MARKETING
Gemma had a challenging quarter with lower revenues compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in revenues was primarily a result of a reduction in business volumes from a key client, as well as program delays with other clients.
OTHER
Gusgo's results in the second quarter of 2013 were lower than the same period a year ago due to lower volumes from a significant client who experienced production issues. Another large client had fewer drop shipments than in the prior year, resulting in increased delivery and storage costs for Gusgo.
Titan's results in the second quarter of 2013 were lower than the same quarter in the prior year due to the fact that Titan's sales mix thus far in 2013 included a greater proportion of lower margin wear products. Abnormally wet weather conditions, also have negatively affected the construction market that Titan serves.
THIRD QUARTER OUTLOOK
At ClearStream, there continues to be a strong business outlook in some divisions as we expect high levels of activity in both the Wear and Oil Sands divisions to continue. The Fabrication division is now more active and seeking opportunities for new work which are in various stages of the bidding/award process. Should these projects materialize, the Fabrication division should experience a growth in revenues over the first half of 2013. Conventional oil and gas maintenance services are expected to have better results in the second half of 2013, partly due to a significant client win. ClearStream now has its largest contingent of business development personnel with proven expertise currently on staff. Two new members recently joined the business development team and management believes that these individuals will be instrumental in successfully pursuing new opportunities.
Quantum Murray's third quarter outlook appears to be more favourable reflecting the high season of the business and improved results from a positive change in organizational structure and processes. Management expects continued strength in the Remediation divisions which will continue to work through several larger projects over the remaining summer months. In spite of a few ongoing challenges with legacy projects in the Demolition division, the Demolition group has a robust pipeline of projects which should contribute positively through the remainder of 2013. The Demolition division's recovery and future success continues to depend on management's ability to successfully bid and win new projects of all sizes, but particularly medium to large projects.
In the Marketing segment, the outlook continues to be mixed. At Gemma, unplanned hour reductions from a key client will impact third quarter revenues. Recent new client wins are encouraging but need to continue. The loss of a large customer from IC Group will continue to negatively impact IC Group's results for 2013, however management hopes that the shortfall will be made up by a new client that has been secured. Management has also increased its sales efforts at IC Group in an effort to diversify the client base and grow the business.
In the Other segment, results are expected to be similar to the first two quarters of 2013. The Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors is calling for similar drilling activity in the third and fourth quarter of 2013, which may result in lower sales of higher margin rigging products compared to the prior year for Titan. Titan will continue to focus on improving its relationship with existing customers and cost cutting measures. Gusgo's results in the third and fourth quarter will depend on its clients' ability to manage production issues and return to more drop shipments, resulting in lower costs.
Management continues to look to create value through the improvement of the operations of Tuckamore's assets and, in some cases, may look to realize value through the sale of certain of its assets.

Without limitation, information regarding the future operating results and economic performance of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships constitute forward-looking information. Such forward-looking information reflects management's current beliefs and is based on information currently available to management of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships. Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties.

These factors should not be considered exhaustive. In addition, in evaluating this information, investors should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors," which may cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. In formulating forward-looking information herein, management has assumed that business and economic conditions affecting Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships will continue substantially in the ordinary course, including without limitation with respect to general levels of economic activity, regulations, taxes and interest rates.

Non-standard measures
The terms "EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA", (collectively the "Non-IFRS measures") are financial measures used in this press release that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Tuckamore's method of calculating Non-IFRS measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, Tuckamore's Non-IFRS measures, as presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
EBITDA refers to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by management and the Directors as well as many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management also uses EBITDA to monitor the performance of Tuckamore's reportable segments and believes that in addition to net income or loss and cash provided by operating activities, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine Tuckamore's ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes and distributions. Tuckamore has provided a reconciliation of income to EBITDA in its press release.
Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA excluding the gain or loss on reduction or sale of ownership interest (dilution gains or losses), the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets, restructuring costs, gain on re-measurement of investments, gain on debt extinguishment, fair value adjustments on stock based compensation expense and the impairment of long-term investments. Tuckamore has used Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for the analysis of its past operating financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used by Tuckamore and management believes it is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine Tuckamore's ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that management believes facilitates the comparability of the results of historical periods and the analysis of its operating financial performance which may be useful to investors.
Investors are cautioned that the Non-standard Measures are not alternatives to measures under IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return on the shares. These Non-standard Measures should only be used in conjunction with the financial statements included in the press release and Tuckamore's (formally Newport Partners Income Fund) annual audited financial statements available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or www.tuckamore.ca.
