STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The body of generally accepted accounting principles applicable to us is commonly referred to as &#147;GAAP.&#148; A non-GAAP financial measure is
generally defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or
includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measures. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, excluding
the effects of foreign exchange gain or loss, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative financial instruments, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on disposal of plant and equipment and certain other non cash items
included in the calculation of net income (loss). We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of the performance of our business because it excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest and taxes, which are not directly related
to the operating performance of our business. Management reviews EBITDA to determine whether capital assets are being allocated efficiently. In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a
maximum senior leverage ratio, which includes the reference to Consolidated EBITDA. Non-compliance with this financial covenant could result in our being required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA are not measures of performance under Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP and our computations of EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered as
alternatives to operating income or net income as measures of operating performance or cash flows as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation,
or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under Canadian GAAP or US GAAP. Our methods of calculating EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

(&#147;SFAS 133&#148;) establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and debt instruments) be recorded in the balance sheet as either
an asset or liability measured at its fair value. On November&nbsp;26, 2003, the Company issued 8<FONT SIZE="1"><SUP>&nbsp;3</SUP></FONT><FONT SIZE="1">/</FONT><FONT SIZE="1">4</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000">% senior
notes for US$200 million (Canadian $263 million). On May&nbsp;19, 2005 the Company issued 9% senior secured notes for US$60.4 million (Canadian $76.3 million), subsequently retired on November 28, 2006. Both of these issues included certain
contingent embedded derivatives which provided for the acceleration of redemption by the holder at a premium in certain instances. These embedded derivatives met the criteria for bifurcation from the debt contract and separate measurement at fair
value. The embedded derivatives have been measured at fair value and classified as part of the carrying amount of the Senior Notes on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in the fair value being recorded in net income as realized and
unrealized (gain) loss on derivative financial instruments for the period under U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, separate accounting of embedded derivatives from the host contract is not permitted by EIC-117. </FONT></FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1">EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, excluding the effects of
foreign exchange gain or loss, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative financial instruments, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on disposal of plant and equipment and certain other non cash items included in the
calculation of net income (loss). We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of the performance of our business because it excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest and taxes, that are not directly related to the operating
performance of our business. Management reviews EBITDA to determine whether capital assets are being allocated efficiently. In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior
leverage ratio, which are calculated using Consolidated EBITDA. Non-compliance with these financial covenants could result in our being required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. EBITDA and
Consolidated EBITDA are not measures of performance under Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP and our computations of EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives
to operating income or net income as measures of operating performance or cash flows as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as
substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA is as follows: </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

upgraded oil to refineries. Some oil sands projects have upgraders at mine site and others transport bitumen to upgraders located elsewhere. While current pipeline and upgrading capacity is sufficient for current production, future increases in
production from new oil sands projects and expansions to existing projects will require increased upgrading and pipeline capacity. If these increases do not materialize, whether due to inadequate economics for the sponsors of such projects,
shortages of labor or materials or any other reason, our customers may be unable to efficiently deliver increased production to market and may therefore delay, reduce or cancel planned capital investment. Such delays, reductions or cancellations of

necessitating substantial improvements to accommodate growth in the region. The local government having responsibility for a majority of the oil sands region has been exceptionally impacted by this growth and is not currently in a position to
provide the necessary additional infrastructure. In an effort to delay further development until infrastructure funding issues are resolved, the local governmental authority has intervened in two recent hearings considering applications by major oil
sands companies to the EUB for approval to expand their operations. Similar action could be taken with respect to any future applications. The EUB has issued conditional approval for the expansion in respect of one of the hearings despite the
intervention by the local government authority, and a decision in the second hearing is pending. The EUB has indicated that it believes that additional infrastructure investment in the oil sands region is needed and that there is a short window of
opportunity to make these investments in parallel with continued oil sands development. If the necessary infrastructure is not put in place, future growth of our customers&#146; operations could be delayed, reduced or canceled which could in turn

future. In addition, the majority of our Pipeline revenues in previous fiscal years resulted from work performed for one customer. If we lose or experience a significant reduction of business from one or more of our significant customers, we may not
be able to replace the lost work with work from other customers. Our long-term contracts typically allow our customers to unilaterally reduce or eliminate the work which we are to perform under the contract. Our contracts generally allow the
customer to terminate the contract without cause. The loss of or significant reduction in business with one or more of our major customers, whether as a result of completion of a contract, early termination or failure or inability to pay amounts

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our core market is the Alberta oil sands, where we generated 72% of our fiscal 2007 revenue. The oil
sands are located in three regions of northern Alberta: Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River. According to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, or EUB, Canada&#146;s oil sands are estimated to hold 315 billion barrels of ultimately recoverable
oil reserves, with established reserves of almost 174 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia. According to the Canadian National Energy Board, or NEB, oil sands production of bitumen is expected to increase from 1.1&nbsp;million barrels per
day, or &#147;bpd,&#148; in 2005 to approximately 3.0&nbsp;million bpd by 2015 and account for 75% of total Canadian oil output, compared to approximately 50% of output today. In order to achieve this increase in production, the NEB estimates that
over $95 billion of capital expenditures by companies operating in the oil sands will be required through 2015. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our significant knowledge,
experience, equipment capacity and scale of operations in the oil sands differentiates us from our competition. Our principal customers are the major operators in the oil sands, including all three of the producers that currently mine bitumen, being
Syncrude Canada Ltd., Suncor Energy Inc. and Albian Sands Energy Inc. (a joint venture among Shell Canada Limited, Chevron Canada Limited and Western Oil Sands Inc.). Canadian Natural Resources Limited, or CNRL, another significant customer, is
developing a bitumen-mining project in the oil sands. We provide services to every company in the oil sands that uses surface mining techniques for its production. These surface mining techniques account for over 70% of total oil sands production.
We have also provided site construction services for in-situ producers, which use horizontally drilled wells to inject steam into deposits and pump bitumen to the surface. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have long-term relationships with most of our customers. For example, we have been providing services to Syncrude and Suncor since they pioneered oil
sands development over 30 years ago. We believe our customers&#146; leases have an average remaining productive life of over 35 years. In addition, 34% of our revenues in fiscal 2007 were derived from recurring, long-term contracts, which assists in
providing stability in our operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Our Operations </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

projects. Decisions by oil sands operators to make capital investments are driven by a number of factors, with one of the most important being the expected long-term price of oil. </FONT></P> <P

grains of sand covered by a thin layer of water and coated by heavy oil, or bitumen. Bitumen, because of its structure, does not flow, and therefore requires non-conventional extraction techniques to separate it from the sand and other foreign
matter. There are currently two main methods of extraction: open pit mining, where bitumen deposits are sufficiently close to the surface to make it economically viable to recover the bitumen by treating mined sand in a surface plant; and in-situ,
where bitumen deposits are buried too deep for open pit mining to be cost effective, and operators instead inject steam into the deposit so that the bitumen can be separated from the sand and pumped to the surface. We currently provide most of our
services to companies operating open pit mines to recover bitumen reserves. These customers utilize our services for surface mining, site preparation, piling, pipe installation, site maintenance, equipment and labor supply and land reclamation.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">According to the EUB, the oil sands contained almost 174 billion barrels of established oil reserves as of the end of 2005, approximately
32 billion barrels of which is recoverable by open pit mining techniques. This is second only to Saudi Arabia&#146;s 264 billion barrels and approximately six times the recoverable reserves in the United States. Beginning in the mid-1990&#146;s,
increasing global energy demand and improvements in mining and in-situ technology resulted in a significant increase in oil sands investments. This increased level of investment was also driven by a revised royalty regime adopted by the Government
of Alberta in 1997, which was designed to accelerate investment in the oil sands. Under the revised royalty structure, oil sands operators pay a royalty of 1% of gross revenue until the operator has recovered all its allowed costs in respect of a
project plus a return allowance, after which the royalty increases to the greater of 25% of net revenue or 1% of gross revenue. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Outlook

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our operations are subject to numerous federal, provincial and municipal environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the release of substances, the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater,
vehicle emissions and air and water emissions. These laws and regulations are administered by federal, provincial and municipal authorities, such as Alberta Environment, Saskatchewan Environment, the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, and
other governmental agencies. The requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex and stringent, and meeting these requirements can be expensive. The nature of our operations and our ownership or operation of property
expose us to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred with such claims. For example, some laws can impose strict, joint and several liability on
past and present owners or operators of facilities at, from or to which a release of hazardous substances has occurred, on parties who generated hazardous substances that were released at such facilities and on parties who arranged for the
transportation of hazardous substances to such facilities. If we were found to be a responsible party under these statutes, we could be held liable for all investigative and remedial costs associated with addressing such contamination, even though
the releases were caused by a prior owner or operator or third party. We are not currently named as a responsible party for any environmental liabilities on any of the properties on which we currently perform or have performed services. However, our
leases typically include covenants which obligate us to comply with all applicable environmental regulations and to remediate any environmental damage caused by us to the leased premises. In addition, claims alleging personal injury or property
damage may be brought against us if we cause the release of, or any exposure to, harmful substances. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Capital expenditures relating to
environmental matters during the fiscal years ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 were not material. We do not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on our business or financial position as a result of future compliance with
applicable environmental laws and regulations. Future events, however, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies or stricter or different interpretations of
existing laws and regulations may require us to make additional expenditures which may be material. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Employees and Labor Relations </B></FONT></P> <P

the largest pieces of equipment in the world and are designed for use in the largest earthmoving and mining applications globally. Our large, diverse fleet gives us flexibility in scheduling jobs and allows us to be responsive to our customers&#146;
needs. A well-maintained fleet is critical in the harsh climatic and environmental conditions we encounter. We operate four significant maintenance and repair centers, which are capable of accommodating the largest pieces of equipment in our fleet,
on the sites of the major oil sands projects. These factors help us to be more efficient, thereby reducing costs to our customers to further improve our competitive edge, while concurrently increasing our equipment utilization and thereby improving
our profitability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

and equipment maintenance are also performed at regional facilities in Calgary and Fort McMurray, Alberta; Vancouver, Fort Nelson and New Westminister, British Columbia; and Regina and Martensville, Saskatchewan. We occupy office and shop space in
British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan under leases which expire between late 2007 and 2011, subject to various renewal and termination rights. We expect to renew our office lease, which expires in 2007, with rates that are competitive with the
prevailing markets rates at that time. We also occupy, without charge, some customer-provided lands. Our revolving credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our properties. The following table describes our primary facilities.

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1">EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, excluding the effects of
foreign exchange gain or loss, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative financial instruments, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on disposal of plant and equipment and certain other non cash items included in the
calculation of net income (loss). We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of the performance of our business because it excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest and taxes, that are not directly related to the operating
performance of our business. Management reviews EBITDA to determine whether capital assets are being allocated efficiently. In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior
leverage ratio, which are calculated using Consolidated EBITDA. Non-compliance with these financial covenants could result in our being required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. EBITDA and
Consolidated EBITDA are not measures of performance under Canadian GAAP or U.S. GAAP and our computations of EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives
to operating income or net income as measures of operating performance or cash flows as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as
substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under Canadian GAAP or US GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA is as follows: </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, our consolidated revenue increased to $629.4 million, from $492.2&nbsp;million in 2006. While gains were achieved
in all operating segments, the $137.2 million, or 27.9%, improvement was primarily due to increased project work in the Mining and Site Preparation segment, most notably at Albian&#146;s Jackpine Mine. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gross profit increased by 15.1% to $92.4 million in 2007, from $80.3 million in 2006 as a result of the increased revenue. As a percentage of revenue,
gross profit declined to 14.7% in 2007, from 16.3% in 2006 resulting from losses on three pipeline projects. Gross profit was also reduced by a $3.6 million impairment charge recognized on a major piece of construction equipment and higher operating
expenses. The increase in operating expenses reflects higher equipment, repair and maintenance, and shop overhead costs related to our fleet expansion, increased activity and escalating tire costs. Operating lease expense also increased in 2007
reflecting the addition of new leased equipment to support new projects, including the 10-year CNRL overburden removal project. The impact of higher operating costs and reduced Pipeline profitability was partially offset by improved project
performance in the Mining&nbsp;&amp; Site Preparation and Piling segments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Operating income for 2007 increased to $51.1 million, from
$49.4 million in 2006. This $1.7 million, or 3.4%, improvement was primarily due to the $12.1 million increase in gross profit discussed above, partially offset by a $8.9 million, or 28.7%, increase in general and administrative costs. The increase
in general and administrative costs reflects increased employee costs related to our growing employee base, the payment of fees to the Sponsors for termination of the Advisory Services Agreement and higher professional fees for audit, legal and
general consulting services. We recorded a loss of $1.0 million on the disposal of plant and equipment as a result of the sale and write down of certain heavy equipment, compared to a gain of $0.7 million in 2006. </FONT></P> <P

change orders, in 2006 for which corresponding costs were recognized in 2005. These favorable impacts were partially offset by an increase in equipment costs, operating lease expense and depreciation. The increase in equipment costs and depreciation

increased to $49.4 million, from $9.4 million in 2005. This $40.0 million, or 424.1%, increase reflects the $44.1 million increase in gross profit discussed above, partially offset by higher general and administrative costs. General and
administrative costs increased by $8.0 million, or 35.1%, as a result of increased professional fees relating to financing transactions in 2006, increased employee costs and higher bonuses. We also recorded a gain of $0.7 million on disposal of
plant and equipment in 2006, compared to a loss of $0.5 million in 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Segment Operations </B></FONT></P> <P

seasonality, as weather conditions make operating during this period difficult. The level of activity in the Mining and Site Preparation and Pipeline segments declines when frost leaves the ground and many secondary roads are temporarily rendered
incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment. The duration of this period is referred to as &#147;spring breakup&#148; and it has a direct impact on our activity levels. Revenues during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year are typically
highest as ground conditions are most favourable in our operating regions. As a result, full-year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters. </FONT></P> <P

from $31.7 million in 2006, as a result of project losses in the Pipeline segment, a $3.6 million asset impairment charge and higher equipment operating expenses. Equipment costs were driven by higher activity levels, significant increases in tire
costs and increased shop labour and overhead. Operating lease expense decreased in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the buy out of numerous leases as part of the proceeds from the IPO. As a result of the pipeline losses, asset impairment charge and
higher equipment operating costs, gross profit as a percentage of revenue, was 6.6% in 2007, compared to 22.3% in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Operating income

largely unchanged in the fourth quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 as increased stock compensation expense was offset by decreased employee costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Site Preparation revenue for the fourth quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 increased 48.9% to $150.1 million in 2007, from $100.9 million in 2006. The growth in revenue was primarily due to higher oil sands and mining activity relating to large site
preparation projects at Albian, continued ramp up on the CNRL overburden removal project and increased project work at the De Beers Canada Victor Diamond Mine in northern Ontario. Piling revenue for the fourth quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007
increased 6.2% to $29.9 million, from $28.1 million in 2006. This increase was primarily due to higher volume of construction projects in the Fort McMurray region and a large project in the Edmonton region. Pipeline revenue increased 91.0% to $25.4
million, from $13.3 million in 2006, as a result of a large pipeline project for Suncor. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

$23.6 million in 2006. Increased revenues and a claim settlement related to a large site preparation project completed in fiscal 2006, was entirely offset by margin reductions on a large site preparation project in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Challenging soil and water conditions on this project resulted in the recognition of $4.7 million in additional costs, with no associated revenue. We are actively negotiating change orders with the client relating to these changed conditions. Fourth
quarter Piling segment profit increased 6.1% to $8.8 million in 2007, from $8.3 million in 2006, reflecting the impact of increased volume. Our Pipeline segment recorded a loss of $9.8 million for the fourth quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007,
compared to a profit of $3.9 million in 2006. This change in profitability reflects the negative impact of increased scope, condition changes and difficult weather conditions on a large pipeline project that resulted in $8.0 million of additional
costs being recognized during the quarter without any associated revenue. We are in the process of requesting change orders from our customers to recover all or a portion of these additional costs, but did not meet the criteria to recognize this
revenue for the fourth quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Consolidated Financial Position </B></FONT></P> <P

included in financial statements until an agreement is reached with the client or specific criteria for the recognition of revenue from unapproved change orders and claims are met. This can, and often does, lead to costs being recognized in one

retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Under EIC-159, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a

Consolidated Capital Expenditures during any applicable period cannot exceed 120% of the amount in the capital expenditure plan. In addition, we are also required to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio
and a maximum senior leverage ratio, both of which are calculated using Consolidated EBITDA, as well as a minimum current ratio. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Consolidated EBITDA is defined in the credit facility as the sum, without duplication, of (1) consolidated net income, (2) consolidated interest expense, (3) provisions for taxes based on income, (4) total depreciation expense, (5) total
amortization expense, (6) costs and expenses incurred by us in entering into the credit facility, (7) accrual of stock-based compensation expense to the extent not paid in cash or if satisfied by the issue of new equity, and (8) other non-cash items
(other than any such non-cash item to the extent it represents an accrual of or reserve for cash expenditures in any future period), but only, in the case of clauses (2)-(8), to the extent deducted in the calculation of consolidated net income, less
other non-cash items added in the calculation of consolidated net income (other than any such non-cash item to the extent it will result in the receipt of cash payments in any future period), all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated
basis for us in conformity with Canadian GAAP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Interest coverage is determined based on a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated
cash interest expense, and the senior leverage is determined as a ratio of senior debt to Consolidated EBITDA. Measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on a trailing four-quarter basis, Consolidated EBITDA shall not be less than 2.5 times
consolidated cash interest expense (2.35 times at June 30, 2007). Also, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on a trailing four-quarter basis, senior leverage shall not exceed 2 times Consolidated EBITDA. We believe Consolidated EBITDA
as defined in the credit facility is an important measure of our liquidity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT </B></FONT></P> <P

Canadian natural resource sector. In particular, our business has benefited from increased oil sands development in Northern Alberta. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">According to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (&#147;EUB&#148;), Canadian oil sands are estimated to contain nearly 315 billion barrels of oil with established reserves of almost 174 billion barrels as of the end of 2004, however the
extraction of oil from bitumen is significantly more complex and costly than in conventional oil operations. In recent years, higher oil prices have made oil sands production economically viable, and a diverse range of oil companies and consortiums
are moving swiftly to develop this resource. Interest in the oil sands has been further bolstered by political unrest in the Middle East and the subsequent desire of Western economies to seek oil supplies from more stable regions. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a leading supplier of construction and mining services to oil sands operators, our business has benefited from these developments. We have

sands. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2007, we recorded record revenue of $629.4 million, up from $492.2 million in 2006 and $357.3 million in 2005. This represents a
compound annual growth rate of 32.7%. The higher revenues, together with a focus on higher-margin projects led to an even more significant improvement in profitability. Gross profit from our consolidated operations increased to $92.4 million in
2007, from $80.3 million in 2006 and $36.2 million in 2005, representing a compound annual growth rate of 59.8%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Of our three operating
segments, Mining and Site Preparation (74.7% and 64.4% of total three-year consolidated revenues and total three-year segment profits, respectively) has benefited most from oil sands development. This segment has enjoyed significant growth in
revenue and gross profit since 2005 as a result of our expanding relationships with oil sands customers, as well as the positive impact of our contract with De Beers Canada at their Victor Diamond Mine in northern Ontario, where we are providing
winter road construction and maintenance and overburden removal services. All of the growth in this segment has been achieved organically. Segment profit has increased from $11.6 million in 2005 to $71.1 million in 2007, representing a compound
annual growth rate of 147.3%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Growth in our Piling business (17.7% and 34.0% of total three-year consolidated revenues and total
three-year segment profits, respectively) has been driven both by oil sands development and by western Canada&#146;s strong economy, which has supported a high level of commercial and industrial construction activity. In addition, the Piling segment
has realized benefits from the acquisition of Midwest Foundation Technologies Inc. (&#147;Midwest Micropile&#148;) in 2007, which has helped us expand into niche, higher-margin segments of the piling industry. Segment profit has increased from $13.3
million in 2005 to $34.4 million in 2007, representing a compound annual growth rate of 60.8%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Pipeline business (7.6% and 1.6% of
total three-year consolidated revenues and total three-year segment profits, respectively) has also achieved revenue growth in the past three years. Revenues increased to $47.0 million in 2007, from $34.1 million in 2006 and $31.5 million in 2005 as
a result of large contracts with CNRL, Husky Energy Inc. and Suncor. However, profitability in this segment has been negatively affected by cost overruns related to poor weather and challenging ground conditions. Segment profit increased from $4.9
million in 2005 to $9.0 million in 2006. However, due to the conditions described above, we have incurred a segment loss of $10.5 million in 2007. To reduce the potential for similar impacts on future projects, we are revising our Pipeline contract
strategy. Going forward, our Pipeline segment will primarily focus on cost-reimbursable contracts and we will only undertake fixed-price contracts on rare occasions when we perceive the risk to be very low. The new $170 million contract for the
construction of Kinder Morgan Canada Inc.&#146;s (&#147;Kinder Morgan&#148;) TMX pipeline will not be a fixed-price contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our outlook
for 2008 is positive. With world economic growth continuing to positively impact oil demand and price, we expect to experience increasing project activity in our core market, the Canadian oil sands. Activity in the Fort McMurray area remains very
strong with a number of high-profile projects underway including the CNRL expansion, Albian&#146;s Jackpine Mine, Suncor&#146;s Voyageur project and the planned Fort Hills project (a partnership between Petro-Canada Oil Sands Inc., UTS Energy Corp.,
Teck Cominco Ltd. and Fort Hills Energy Corp.). Our 2007 acquisition of new equipment ideally suited to heavy earth moving in the oil sands area has strengthened our ability to bid competitively and profitably into this expanding market, and we have
secured contract wins on many of these new projects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our Mining and Site Preparation operating segment, we are actively pursuing a

America, Inc. and Mr.&nbsp;William Oehmig, one of our directors. After our IPO, the shareholders party to the agreement and their permitted transferees are entitled, subject to certain limitations, to include their common shares in a registration of
common shares we initiate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, after the 120th day following our IPO, any one or more shareholders party to the agreement has the right to require us to effect the registration of all or any part
of such shareholders&#146; common shares under the Securities Act, referred to as a &#147;demand registration,&#148; so long as the amount of common shares to be registered has an aggregate fair market value of at least US$5.0 million and, at such
time, the SEC has ordered or declared effective fewer than four demand registrations initiated by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement. In the event the aggregate number of common shares which the shareholders party to the agreement
request us to include in any registration, together, in the case of a registration we initiate, with the common shares to be included in such registration, exceeds the number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold in such
offering without materially affecting the offering price of such shares, the number of shares of each shareholder to be included in such registration will be reduced pro rata based on the aggregate number of shares for which registration was
requested. The shareholders party to the agreement have the right to require, after four demand registrations, one registration in which their common shares will not be subject to pro rata reduction with others entitled to registration rights.

includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the

Company performs its projects under the following types of contracts: time-and-materials; cost-plus; unit-price; and lump sum. For time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts, revenue is recognized as costs are incurred. Revenue on unit-price and
lump sum contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the ratio of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs. Excluded from costs incurred to date, particularly in the early stages of the contract, are the
costs of items that do not relate to performance of contracted work. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The length of the Company&#146;s contracts varies from
less than one year for typical contracts to several years for certain larger contracts. Contract project costs include all direct labour, material, subcontract and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance such as
indirect labour, supplies, and tools. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in project
performance, project conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income that are recognized in the period in which such
adjustments are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenue when their realization is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Once a
project is underway, the Company will often experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials and work schedule. Generally, a &#147;change order&#148; will be negotiated with the customer to modify the
original contract to approve both the scope and price of the change. Occasionally, however, disagreements arise regarding changes, their nature, measurement, timing and other characteristics that impact costs and revenue under the contract. When a
change becomes a point of dispute between the Company and a customer, the Company will then consider it as a claim. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Costs
related to change orders and claims are recognized when they are incurred. Revenues related to change orders are included in total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in a bona fide addition to contract
value and can be reliably estimated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Revenues related to claims are included in total estimated contract revenue only to
the extent that contract costs related to the claim have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will result in (1)&nbsp;a bona fide addition to contract value and (2)&nbsp;revenues can be reliably estimated. These two conditions are
satisfied when (1)&nbsp;the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim or a legal opinion is obtained providing a reasonable basis to support the claim, (2)&nbsp;additional costs incurred were caused by unforeseen circumstances
and are not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (3)&nbsp;costs associated with the claim are identifiable and reasonable in view of work performed and (4)&nbsp;evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. No profit is
recognized on claims until final settlement occurs. This can lead to a situation where costs are recognized in one period and revenue is recognized when customer agreement is obtained or claim resolution occurs, which can be in subsequent periods.
Historical claim recoveries should not be considered indicative of future claim recoveries.</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Claims revenue recognized was

circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. The impairment test is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to its fair value. When the fair value of the reporting
unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. The second step is carried out when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, in which case the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the value of goodwill is determined in a business combination, is compared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of the

securities commissions in preparation for the public sale of common shares, the Company is no longer eligible to use the minimum value method for measuring stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the Company considered the effect of expected
volatility in its assumptions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted after this date. The Company determined its expected volatility based on a statistical analysis of historical volatility for a peer group of companies,
which was prepared by an independent valuation firm. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company offered to accelerate the

options were exercised pursuant to this offer resulting in additional compensation cost of $24 for the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The vesting period remained unchanged for stock options held by Directors who did not accept the Company&#146;s

Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee may provide that any options granted will vest immediately or in increments over a period of time. Options to be granted under the amended option plan will have an
exercise price of not less than the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange at the time of grant. The amended option plan provides that up to 10% of the Company&#146;s

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">U.S. GAAP requires capitalization of interest costs as part of the historical cost of acquiring certain qualifying assets that require a
period of time to prepare for their intended use. This is not required under Canadian GAAP. Accordingly, the capitalized amount is subject to depreciation in accordance with the Company&#146;s policies when the asset is placed into service.

related debt using the effective interest method resulting in a consistent interest rate over the term of the debt in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.&nbsp;21 (&#147;APB 21&#148;). </FONT></P> <P

general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income equals net income (loss) for the period as adjusted for all other non-owner changes in shareholders&#146; equity. SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement. The only component of comprehensive income (loss) is the net income (loss) for the period. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">Up until April&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company followed the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Stock-Based Compensation&#148; for U.S. GAAP purposes. As the Company uses the fair value method of
accounting for all stock-based compensation payments under Canadian GAAP there were no differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP prior to April&nbsp;1, 2006. On April&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123(R), &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148; (&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;). As the Company used the minimum value method for purposes of complying with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123, it was required to
adopt SFAS 123(R) prospectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The methodology for determining the expense to be recognized in each period that is
prescribed by SFAS 123(R) differs from that prescribed by Canadian GAAP. Canadian GAAP permits accounting for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur while U.S. standards require an estimate of forfeitures to be made at the date of grant
and thereafter until the requisite service period has been completed or the awards are cancelled. The required adjustment under U.S. GAAP to account for estimated forfeitures was not significant for all periods presented. </FONT></P> <P

certain contingent embedded derivatives which provided for the acceleration of redemption by the holder at a premium in certain instances. These embedded derivatives met the criteria for bifurcation from the debt contract and separate measurement at
fair value. The embedded derivatives have been measured at fair value and classified as part of the carrying amount of the Senior Notes on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in the fair value being recorded in net income as realized and
unrealized (gain) loss on derivative financial instruments for the period under U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, separate accounting of embedded derivatives from the host contract is not permitted by EIC-117. </FONT></FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">Prior to the modification of the terms of the NAEPI Series B preferred shares, there were no differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP related to the NAEPI Series B preferred shares. As a result of the modification of terms of
NAEPI&#146;s Series B preferred shares on March&nbsp;30, 2006, under Canadian GAAP, the Company continued to classify the NAEPI Series B preferred shares as a liability and was accreting the carrying amount of $42.2 million on the amendment date
(March 30, 2006) to their December&nbsp;31, 2011 redemption value of $69.6 million using the effective interest method. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized the fair value of the amended NAEPI Series B preferred shares as minority interest as
such amount was recognized as temporary equity in the accounts of NAEPI in accordance with EITF Topic D-98 and recognized a charge of $3.7 million to retained earnings for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the Series B
preferred shares on the amendment date. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company was accreting the initial fair value of the amended NAEPI Series B preferred shares of $45.9 million recorded on their amendment date (March 30, 2006) to the December&nbsp;31, 2011
redemption value of $69.6 million using the effective interest method, which was consistent with the treatment of the NAEPI Series B preferred shares as temporary equity in the financial statements of NAEPI. The accretion charge was recognized as a
charge to minority interest (as opposed to retained earnings in the accounts of NAEPI) under US&nbsp;GAAP and interest expense in the Company&#146;s financial statements under Canadian GAAP. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On November&nbsp;28, 2006, the Company exercised a call option to acquire all of the issued and outstanding NAEPI Series B preferred
shares in exchange for 7,524,400 common shares of the Company. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Company recorded the exchange by transferring the carrying value of the NAEPI Series B preferred shares on the exercise date of $44,682 to common shares.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the conversion has been accounted for as a combination of entities under common control as all of the shareholders of the NAEPI Series B preferred shares are also common shareholders of the Company resulting in the
reclassification of the carrying value of the minority interest on the exercise date of $48,140 to common shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Accordingly the joint venture has been consolidated on a prospective basis effective January&nbsp;1, 2005. Prior to its consolidation, the joint venture was accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method under Canadian GAAP. Under U.S.
GAAP, investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The different accounting treatment affects only the display and classification of financial statement items and not net earnings or shareholders&#146; equity. Rules
prescribed by the <I>Securities and Exchange Commission</I> of the United States permit the use of the proportionate consolidation method in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP provided the joint venture is an operating entity and the significant
financial operating policies are, by contractual agreement, jointly controlled by all parties having an interest in the joint venture. In addition, the Company disclosed in note 19(c) the major components of its financial statements resulting from

instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, the Statement was adopted by the Company on January&nbsp;1, 2005. The adoption of the standard required the Company to reclassify the carrying value of the NACG Preferred Corp.

that do not have commercial substance. The standard is effective for the Company for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005, being July&nbsp;1, 2005 for the Company. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2005, FASB Staff Position FIN 46R-5,

The guidance describes an implicit variable interest as an implied financial interest in an entity that changes with changes in the fair value of the entity&#146;s net assets exclusive of variable interests. An implicit variable interest acts the
same as an explicit variable interest except that it involves the absorbing and/or receiving of variability indirectly from the entity (rather than directly). This guidance was adopted in 2006 and did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s
