(i) Trican makes reference to operating income, adjusted profit (loss) and  
funds provided by operations. These are measures that are not recognized    
under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Management        
believes that, in addition to profit (loss), operating income, adjusted     
profit (loss) and funds provided by operations are useful supplemental      
measures. Operating income provides investors with an indication of earnings
before depreciation, foreign exchange, taxes and interest. Adjusted profit  
(loss) provides investors with information on profit (loss) excluding one-  
time non-cash charges and the non-cash effect of stock-based compensation   
expense. Funds provided by operations provide investors with an indication  
of cash available for capital commitments, debt repayments and other        
expenditures. Investors should be cautioned that operating income, adjusted 
profit (loss), and funds provided by (used in) operations should not be     
construed as an alternative to profit (loss) and cash flow from operations  
determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Trican's performance. 
Trican's method of calculating operating income, adjusted profit (loss) and 
funds provided by operations may differ from that of other companies and    
accordingly may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.      



FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $643.2 million, an
increase of 4% compared to the first quarter of 2013. The adjusted consolidated
loss was $6.3 million compared to profit of $27.6 million, and adjusted loss per
share was $0.04 compared to profit of $0.18 for the same period in 2013. 


Canadian revenue increased by 4% but operating margins decreased by 880 basis
points in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Canadian equipment utilization levels were high for most of the quarter due to
an extended winter drilling season that kept pressure pumping demand strong to
the end of March. Pressure pumping demand also benefitted from improving
Canadian market fundamentals as Canadian commodity prices and a weakening
Canadian dollar led to increased cash flows for our customers. Despite the
strong demand, Canadian operating margins were below expectations due to a low
pricing environment combined with increased costs. Higher diesel prices,
increased sand hauling requirements and a stronger U.S. dollar have all
contributed to the rising cost structure in Canada. We expect to raise prices in
Canada during the second quarter of 2014 to address the recent declines in
Canadian operating margins. In addition, due to an expected increase in customer
demand, we plan to deploy an additional fracturing crew in Canada in late 2014.
The equipment for this crew is expected to come from our existing fleet of
parked equipment.


U.S. revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was relatively consistent with the
first quarter of 2013 and was up 22% on a sequential basis. Although operating
income increased on a sequential basis, our U.S. operations incurred an
operating loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. U.S. equipment
utilization was negatively impacted by unfavorable weather conditions in January
and February for our operations in the Marcellus, Permian and Oklahoma regions.
The financial performance of our U.S. operations improved substantially in March
as operating conditions improved. We believe the March results reflect improving
fundamentals for the U.S. pressure pumping market and we expect operating
margins to continue to improve sequentially for our U.S. business throughout
2014. During the second quarter, we expect to deploy a fourth fracturing crew
into the Marcellus region that will be supported by customer commitments. In
addition, due to underperformance in the region, we have closed our operating
base in Woodward, Oklahoma, where one fracturing crew had been active. We
believe these strategic decisions will improve the financial performance of our
U.S. operations in the second half of 2014.


International revenue for the first quarter of 2014 increased by 12% and
operating margins improved by 340 basis points compared to the first quarter of
2013. As expected, cold weather at the start of the quarter negatively impacted
Russian activity levels; however, Russian activity rebounded strongly near the
end of the first quarter once operating conditions improved. First quarter
revenue and operating margins increased substantially for the North Sea
completion tools business on both a year-over-year and sequential basis. Strong
customer acceptance of the completion tools technology in this region has led to
improved financial performance for this division. International operating
margins in the first quarter of 2014 were negatively impacted by increased
start-up costs incurred in both Saudi Arabia and Colombia. Active cementing
operations were initiated in Colombia during April and we expect to begin coiled
tubing operations in Saudi Arabia in the second quarter of 2014.

Operations Review 

Equipment utilization for our Canadian operations was strong throughout most of
the first quarter of 2014. Pressure pumping demand was soft in the first half of
January due to reduced drilling and completions activity at the end of 2013 that
carried into early 2014; however, our Canadian equipment was fully utilized from
the second half of January to the end of March. First quarter Canadian pressure
pumping demand benefitted from increased customer cash flows due to higher
Canadian commodity prices combined with a stronger U.S. dollar. In addition,
cold temperatures throughout the quarter led to an extended winter drilling
season that carried to the end of March and into early April. 


The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the U.S. dollar on both a
year-over-year and sequential basis. A weaker Canadian dollar negatively
impacted operating margins as a portion of our product costs are denominated in
U.S. dollars. In addition, sand volumes and fracturing stages per well continued
to increase during the first quarter of 2014. This trend led to higher sand
hauling requirements in Canada and required our Canadian operations to outsource
a higher percentage of hauling services. Our Canadian cost structure was also
impacted by higher first quarter diesel prices relative to the comparative
periods. 


Our pricing levels declined at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 and these
rates were carried throughout all of the first quarter of 2014. As a result,
first quarter Canadian pricing was down slightly on a sequential basis and
substantially compared to the first quarter of 2013. Lower pricing combined with
higher costs led to first quarter operating margins that were 880 basis points
lower in Canada on a year-over-year basis. 


The Canadian completion tools division continued to show strong growth during
the first quarter of 2014. We are continuing to gain customer acceptance of the
technology and are focused on increasing the Canadian customer base and
improving the profitability of the division. 


Q1 2014 versus Q1 2013

Canadian revenue for the first quarter of 2014 increased by 4% compared to the
first quarter of 2013. Revenue per job increased by 14% due to an increase in
fracturing job size combined with an increase in fracturing revenue as a
percentage of total revenue. Proppant used per fracturing job, a good indicator
of job size, increased by 40% on a year-over-year basis. These factors were
partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in Canadian pricing. 


The job count decreased by 8% due largely to lower coiled tubing activity caused
by increased competition in Canada for this service line. Lower coiled tubing
activity also had a negative impact on our nitrogen and acidizing job count as
these service lines are closely correlated with coiled tubing. Cementing and
fracturing activity remained strong throughout most of the quarter and
benefitted from robust demand and favorable weather conditions.


As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 80.2%
compared to 71.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The most significant cause of
the margin decline was lower year-over-year pricing. Operating margins were also
negatively impacted by higher fuel and sand hauling costs as well as a weaker
Canadian dollar that led to higher U.S. denominated product costs. 


General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million due to slightly
higher overhead costs associated with the growing Canadian completion tools
business. 


Q1 2014 versus Q4 2013

Sequentially, Canadian revenue increased by 23% due largely to an increase in
activity levels. The job count increased by 24% as equipment utilization was up
for all pressure pumping service lines compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.
Pressure pumping demand benefitted from favorable weather conditions and
increased customer cash flows due to higher Canadian commodity prices combined
with a stronger U.S. dollar. Revenue per job was down slightly as lower average
pricing levels were offset by larger fracturing job sizes.


As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 80.2%
compared to 79.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Lower average pricing combined
with increased product, fuel and hauling costs contributed to the reduction in
operating margins. These factors were largely offset by increased operational
leverage on our fixed costs due to the increase in utilization for our pressure
pumping service lines.


General and administrative expenses increased by $2.3 million due largely to
higher share-based and profit sharing expenses.

Operations Review

January and February activity levels in the U.S. were negatively impacted by
cold weather and customer delays, in particular for our operations in the
Marcellus, Permian and Oklahoma regions. As operating conditions improved in
late February, overall equipment utilization increased for our U.S. operations.
As a result, March financial results improved substantially compared to January
and February for most of our U.S. operating regions.


March results were particularly strong in the Marcellus play. Our reputation for
superior service quality and operational execution continued to benefit our
Marcellus operations, despite the flat rig count in the region. Once weather
conditions improved, our three fracturing crews operating in this region were
fully utilized. 


Financial and operational performance improved significantly in both the Permian
and Bakken regions during the first quarter. Despite the challenging weather
conditions at the start of the first quarter, improved operational execution
combined with a rising horizontal rig count led to improved March financial
results for our operations in the Permian region. In addition, a focused sales
effort, strong operational execution, and customer acceptance of our recycled
water technology led to significant sequential financial improvements for our
fracturing crew operating in the Bakken play. 


Improving natural gas prices led to a modest increase in activity levels in the
Haynesville shale and, as a result, a fracturing crew was deployed back into
this region during the first quarter of 2014. Pressure pumping demand remained
steady in the Eagle Ford region with one contracted crew and one crew working in
the spot market. 


Our operations in the Barnett shale and Oklahoma regions performed below
expectations during the first quarter. Despite the recent rise in natural gas
prices, the rig count in the Barnett shale continued to decrease and led to weak
first quarter utilization for our fracturing crew in this region. Despite
relatively strong overall activity levels in the various Oklahoma oil and gas
plays, our two Oklahoma operating regions performed below expectations. Weather
impacted our Oklahoma operations early in the first quarter; however, equipment
utilization did not return to acceptable levels once operating conditions
improved. 


Our first quarter pricing levels were relatively consistent with the fourth
quarter of 2013 for all of our U.S. operating regions. 


Revenue for the U.S. completion tools division decreased sequentially due to
delays with one of our major customers. We continue to be pleased with customer
acceptance of the completion tools technology in the U.S. and expect revenue and
profitability to improve throughout 2014. 


Q1 2014 versus Q1 2013

First quarter revenue for our U.S. operations was relatively stable in Canadian
dollars but was down approximately 8% in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar
strengthened by approximately 9% on a year-over-year basis. The positive impact
of a stronger U.S. dollar on revenue per job was more than offset by a change in
job mix as revenue per job in the first quarter of 2014 decreased by 40%
compared to the first quarter of 2013. A substantial year-over-year increase in
Marcellus, Bakken and Permian activity contributed to the lower revenue per job.
Fracturing jobs in these regions are generally higher volume but lower revenue
per job compared to other U.S. operating regions such as the Haynesville and
Oklahoma. Lower year-over-year pricing also contributed to the decrease in
revenue per job. The job count rose by 58% due largely to increased Marcellus,
Bakken and Permian fracturing activity combined with higher coiled tubing
activity.


First quarter materials and operating expenses increased to 97.2% of revenue
compared to 88.4% in the first quarter of 2013. Lower pricing was the most
significant cause of the reduction in operating margins. Margins were also
negatively impacted by higher fuel and repairs and maintenance expenses. These
factors were partially offset by decreased product costs. General and
administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million due primarily to higher
insurance costs and one-time professional fees. 


Q1 2014 versus Q4 2013

Sequentially, U.S. revenue increased by 22% due to an increase in activity
levels combined with a 5% strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The job count
increased by 42% due largely to higher Marcellus, Bakken and Permian activity
levels. Fracturing jobs in these plays are generally smaller, which contributed
to the 10% decline in revenue per job.


As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses decreased to 97.2%
compared to 100.9% sequentially. Operating margins benefitted from increased
operational leverage on our fixed cost structure, which was offset partially by
higher fuel and repairs and maintenance expenses. General and administrative
expenses were relatively consistent on a sequential basis.

Operations Review

The majority of International revenue is generated from our Russian operations.
Cold weather throughout January and February negatively impacted Russian
activity levels, which was consistent with expectations. Operating conditions
improved in March and Russian financial and operating results were strong at the
end of the quarter. 


The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine did not impact our Russian
operations during the first quarter of 2014 and we are not anticipating any
operational disruptions to our Russian business throughout 2014; however, we
will continue to monitor the situation closely and react appropriately if the
conflict escalates further. The potential financial impact, if any, to Trican
from additional economic sanctions placed on Russia in the future is unknown at
this time.


First quarter revenue and operating margins increased substantially for the
North Sea completion tools business on both a year-over-year and sequential
basis. We continued to expand our customer base in this region through strong
acceptance of the completion tools technology.


Start-up costs were incurred in both Saudi Arabia and Colombia during the first
quarter of 2014, which had a negative impact on international operating margins.
We completed our first cementing job in Colombia during April 2014 and expect
activity to increase in this region throughout 2014. Active operations in Saudi
Arabia are expected to commence the second quarter of 2014. We are currently in
discussions with Saudi Aramco to secure additional contracts in this region. 


Revenue increased for our Australian operations in the first quarter of 2014
compared to the first quarter of 2013 as we improved our market share in the
region. We remain optimistic about the long-term growth opportunities in the
region and are committed to growing our Australian cementing business during
2014. Although financial results improved in Algeria during the first quarter,
this region continued to perform below expectations due to low equipment
utilization levels.


Q1 2014 versus Q1 2013

First quarter International revenue increased by 12% compared to the first
quarter of 2013. Year-over-year international revenue benefited from a
substantial increase in North Sea completion tools sales. In addition, the job
count increased by 6% as strong March activity led to an increase in Russian
pressure pumping jobs. A rise in cementing work in Australia also contributed to
the increase in the job count. Revenue per job was up slightly as larger
fracturing job size in Russia was offset by a devaluation of the ruble relative
to the Canadian dollar. 


Materials and operating expenses decreased to 93.0% of revenue compared to 97.5%
in the first quarter of 2013. An increase in activity for our Russian,
Australian, Algerian and North Sea operations led to improved operational
leverage on our fixed cost structure. This was offset partially by increased
start-up costs during the first quarter of 2014 in Saudi Arabia and Colombia
compared to the first quarter of 2013. General and administrative expenses
increased by $1.4 million due to higher share based employee expenses and a bad
debt provision in Russia of $0.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2014. 


Q1 2014 versus Q4 2013

Sequentially, International revenue decreased by 14%. The job count decreased by
10% due to seasonal factors in Russia that led to lower activity for all Russian
service lines. Low Russian activity was offset by a sequential rise in North Sea
completion tools activity. Revenue per job decreased by 11% due to a decline in
the value of the ruble relative to the Canadian dollar, which led to lower
revenue per job in Russia. A change in job type mix also led to lower revenue
per job in Russia for the fracturing and cementing service lines. 


As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 93.0%
compared to 87.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating margins were
negatively impacted by a sequential increase in start-up costs in Saudi Arabia
and Colombia and lower activity levels in Russia. General and administrative
costs increased by $0.8 million due primarily to a bad debt provision recorded
in Russia during the first quarter of 2014.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



Q1 2014 versus Q1 2013

Corporate costs for the first quarter of 2014 decreased by $0.3 million due
largely to lower profit sharing and share based expenses, offset partially by
expenses incurred relating to an insolvent vendor issue.


Q1 2014 versus Q4 2013

Corporate costs increased sequentially by $3.2 million due largely to expenses
incurred relating to an insolvent vendor issue, higher share based expenses and
a slight increase in profit sharing expenses. 


OTHER EXPENSES AND INCOME

Finance costs increased by $1.7 million on a year-over-year basis due to an
increase in average debt balances. Foreign exchange gains of $2.3 million were
recognized in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.7 million in the first
quarter of 2013. The gain is due largely to the net impact of fluctuations in
the U.S. dollar and Russian ruble relative to the Canadian dollar. Other income
was $2.6 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period in 2013. Other
income is largely comprised of net gains on disposal of property and equipment
and interest income earned on cash balances.


Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2014 increased by $5.7 million
compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to an increase in depreciable property
and equipment balances. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

Funds provided by operations was $38.0 million in the first quarter of 2014
compared to $58.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. Lower profits
contributed to the decline in operating cash flows, which was partially offset
by less taxes paid. 


Working capital at March 31, 2014 increased by $112 million compared to December
31, 2013 due to a sequential increase in Canadian activity, and to a lesser
extent, an increase in U.S. activity. 


Investing Activities

Property and equipment purchases were $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2014
compared to $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. Capital spending has
decreased in response to reduced operating cash flows from our Canadian and U.S.
operations as well as adequate equipment capacity in all of our operating
regions. 


There were no significant changes made to our 2014 capital budget during the
first quarter of 2014. Remaining expenditures on approved capital budgets are
expected to be approximately $65 million to $75 million.


Financing Activities

As at May 7, 2014, Trican had 149,030,739 common shares and 10,351,798 employee
stock options outstanding.


Trican currently pays a semi-annual dividend of $0.15 per share. During the
first quarter of 2014, $22.3 million in dividend payments were made and we
expect an additional $22.3 million to be paid in July 2014.


During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Trican withdrew $103.6 million on its
revolving credit and bank facilities to fund operating, investing and financing
activities. As at March 31, 2014, Trican has available unused committed bank
credit facilities in the amount of $199.0 million plus cash and trade and other
receivables of $95.4 million and $606.7 million respectively, for a total of
$901.1 million available to fund the cash outflows relating to its financial
obligations. We believe we have sufficient funding through the use of these
sources to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements.


During the first quarter of 2014, Trican received approval from the Toronto
Stock Exchange to purchase its own common shares, for cancellation, in
accordance with a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") that expires on March 12,
2015. There were no common shares purchased through the NCIB during the first
quarter of 2014. 


OUTLOOK

Canadian Operations

Canadian pressure pumping demand is expected to remain strong during the second
half of 2014. Increased customer cash-flows in the first quarter are expected to
carry into the second half of the year, assuming that commodity prices and
exchange rates remain relatively consistent with current levels. 


Utilization of our Canadian equipment is expected to benefit from a Horn River
project during the third quarter of 2014, which will be similar to the project
completed during the third quarter of 2013. We also expect to complete a small
project in the Liard basin during the third quarter of 2014. This will be the
first fracturing project completed by Trican in the Liard basin and reflects
potential customer interest in this region in light of Canadian LNG export
opportunities. We also expect activity in the Duvernay play to continue to
increase and contribute to higher year-over-year pressure pumping demand in
Canada. 


With strong Canadian activity levels anticipated for the second half of 2014, we
expect to implement a pricing increase in the second quarter that is expected to
be phased in during the second half of 2014. Rising costs combined with lower
pricing have led to Canadian financial results that are below our return on
capital targets and we believe that a price increase is required and justified
given the current operating environment in Canada. Due to an expected increase
in customer demand, we plan to deploy an additional fracturing crew in Canada in
late 2014. The equipment for this crew is expected to come from our existing
fleet of parked equipment.


As expected, second quarter activity in Canada will be impacted by spring
break-up conditions. Second quarter operating margins are expected to be
negatively impacted by lower year-over-year pricing and higher costs compared to
the second quarter of 2013; however, we expect second quarter utilization to
increase year-over-year due to a strong activity in early April combined with
incremental multi-well projects planned for May and June. 


U.S. Operations

Although the U.S. pressure pumping market remains over-supplied with equipment
and very competitive, market fundamentals are continuing to improve. While these
improvements are expected to benefit our U.S. operations, our focus continues to
be on optimizing equipment location, adding crews to select regions from our
parked fleet, improving utilization in certain regions, and reducing costs,
where possible. 


The Marcellus play continues to be our most profitable U.S. region, and we
expect solid financial results in this area for the remainder of 2014. We expect
to add a fourth fracturing crew into the Marcellus play during the latter half
of the second quarter of 2014, which will be supported by new customer
commitments. We will continue to explore additional expansion prospects in
Marcellus throughout 2014.


Fracturing demand in the Permian region increased throughout the first quarter
and we expect this trend to continue throughout 2014. We are currently operating
three fracturing crews in this region and, although utilization has recently
increased, continued utilization improvement and cost reduction is the focus for
our Permian operations. We have recently obtained pricing improvements in the
Permian region and we will look for additional opportunities to increase pricing
as the year progresses.


Although natural gas prices have recently strengthened, the rig count in both
the Barnett and Haynesville regions are expected to remain low for the remainder
of 2014. Activity levels are up slightly in Haynesville and, as a result, we
deployed one crew back into this play late in the quarter for the remainder of
2014. We expect utilization of our Longview fracturing crew to be stable for the
remainder of 2014, and we are committed to maintaining our presence in this
region. 


Overall activity levels in the various Oklahoma oil and gas plays have remained
steady. Despite stable pressure pumping demand, equipment utilization and
financial results have not met expectations for our two operating bases in
Oklahoma over the past several quarters. As a result, we have closed our
operating base in Woodward, Oklahoma during the second quarter of 2014. We are
currently looking at opportunities to deploy the Woodward fracturing crew into
the Permian region. Customer commitments in Woodward will be covered by our base
in Shawnee, Oklahoma, which is expected to improve the utilization for this
location. 


Equipment utilization has improved substantially in the Bakken region over the
last several months. Our focus is to maintain these utilization levels going
forward by continuing to offer innovative technology and strong service quality
in this region. We will also look to add an additional crew into this region if
utilization remains high. 


Eagle Ford activity and demand is expected to remain stable for the remainder of
2014. 


International Operations

Consistent with our previous guidance, 2014 Russian revenue is expected to
increase by 5% compared to 2013 with a slight improvement in operating margins.
We continue to see an increase in horizontal drilling and completions activity
in Russia. We expect 30% of our 2014 Russian pressure pumping revenue to be
generated from horizontal wells compared to 20% in 2013.


Customer acceptance of our completion tools technology in the North Sea has been
strong and we expect the completion tools business to grow during 2014 as we
increase our customer base in the region. 


Although the Australian market continues to develop slowly, we will continue to
focus on expanding market share through sales and marketing initiatives. We
believe in the long-term potential of this market and are committed to growing
our presence in the region. 


Algeria continues to be a challenging market. We are currently exploring
opportunities to obtain more profitable contracts in the region or redeploy the
Algerian assets into a more profitable area. We expect to have more clarity on
our future in Algeria once existing customer contract commitments have been
completed. 


We began active operations in Colombia during April 2014 and will look to expand
our customer base in this region throughout 2014. We expect active operations in
Saudi Arabia to commence in the second quarter of 2014.

(i) Depreciation and amortization expense for the fourth quarter of 2013    
included a $14.3 million charge for accelerated depreciation on fluid ends  
in Canada. $9.5 million of this adjustment ($7.2 million net of tax) relates
to periods prior to October 1, 2013 and has been excluded from adjusted net 
income for the fourth quarter of 2013.                                      
                                                                            
(ii) Depreciation and amortization expense for the fourth quarter included  
$3.1 million in amortization on the intangible assets relating to the       
purchase of i-TEC. The purchase price accounting was not finalized until the
fourth quarter of 2013; therefore, a catch-up entry was required to ensure  
that adequate amortization had been recorded as of December 31, 2013. $2.1  
million of this adjustment ($1.6 million net of tax) relates to periods     
prior to October 1, 2013 and has been excluded from adjusted net income for 
the fourth quarter of 2013.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains certain forward-looking information and financial outlook
based on Trican's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions
that were made by the Company in light of information available at the time the
statement was made. Forward-looking information and financial outlook that
address expectations or projections about the future, and other statements and
information about the Company's strategy for growth, expected and future
expenditures, costs, operating and financial results, future financing and
capital activities are forward-looking statements. Some forward-looking
information and financial outlook are identified by the use of terms and phrases
such as "anticipate," "achieve", "achievable," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intention", "plan", "planned", and other similar terms and phrases. This
forward-looking information and financial outlook speak only as of the date of
this document and we do not undertake to publicly update this forward-looking
information and financial outlook except in accordance with applicable
securities laws. This forward-looking information and financial outlook
includes, among others:




--  The expectation to raise prices in Canada during the second quarter of
    2014 to help address the recent declines in Canadian operating margins; 
--  The expectation that Canadian pricing increases will be phased in during
    the second half of 2014; 
--  The belief that strong March results reflect improving fundamentals for
    the U.S. pressure pumping market; 
--  The expectation that operating margins will improve sequentially for our
    U.S. business throughout 2014; 
--  The expectation that, during the latter half of the second quarter of
    2014, we will deploy a fourth fracturing crew into the Marcellus play
    that will be supported by customer commitments; 
--  The belief that the closure of the Woodward base will improve the
    financial performance of our U.S. operations in the second half of 2014;
--  The intention to begin coiled tubing operations in Saudi Arabia in the
    second quarter of 2014; 
--  The expectation that revenue and profitability will improve throughout
    2014 for our U.S. completion tools division; 
--  The expectation that the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine will
    not disrupt our Russian operations throughout 2014; 
--  Our plan to monitor the Russian/Ukraine conflict closely and react
    appropriately if the conflict escalates further; 
--  The expectation that activity in Colombia will increase; 
--  The expectation that Canadian pressure pumping demand will remain strong
    during the second half of 2014; 
--  The expectation that increased Canadian customer cash-flows in the first
    quarter will carry into the second half of the year, assuming that
    commodity prices and exchange rates remain relatively consistent with
    current levels; 
--  The expectation that utilization of our Canadian equipment will benefit
    from a Horn River project during the third quarter of 2014, which will
    be similar to the project completed during the third quarter of 2013; 
--  The expectation that we will complete a small project in the Liard basin
    during the third quarter of 2014 and that this reflects potential
    customer interest in this region; 
--  The expectation that activity in the Duvernay play will continue to
    increase and contribute to higher year-over-year pressure pumping demand
    in Canada; 
--  The belief that a Canadian price increase is required and justified
    given the current operating environment in Canada; 
--  The plan to deploy an additional fracturing crew in Canada from our
    parked equipment in late 2014;  
--  The expectation that second quarter Canadian operating margins will be
    negatively impacted by lower year-over-year pricing and higher costs
    compared to the second quarter of 2013; 
--  The expectation that second quarter utilization will increase year-over-
    year in Canada due to a strong activity in early April combined with
    incremental multi-well projects planned for May and June; 
--  The belief that U.S. market fundamentals are continuing to improve,
    which will benefit our U.S. operations; 
--  The intention to focus on optimizing equipment location, adding crews to
    select regions from our parked fleet, improving utilization in certain
    regions, and reducing costs, where possible, for our U.S. operations; 
--  The expectation that the Marcellus region will continue to be our most
    profitable U.S. region for the remainder of 2014; 
--  The intention to explore additional expansion prospects in the Marcellus
    region throughout 2014; 
--  The expectation that fracturing demand in the Permian region will
    continue to increase throughout 2014; 
--  The intention to focus on improving utilization for our Permian
    operations. 
--  The intention to look for opportunities to increase pricing for our
    Permian fracturing crews; 
--  The expectation that the rig count in both the Barnett and Haynesville
    regions will remain low for the remainder of 2014; 
--  The expectation that utilization of our Longview fracturing crew will be
    stable for the remainder of 2014; 
--  The intention to maintain our presence in the Haynesville region; 
--  The expectation that customer commitments in Woodward will be covered by
    our base in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and that the utilization for this
    location will improve; 
--  The plan to add an additional crew into the Bakken play if utilization
    remains high in the region; 
--  The expectation that Eagle Ford activity and demand will remain stable
    for the remainder of 2014; 
--  The expectation that 2014 Russian revenue will increase by 5% compared
    to 2013 with a slight improvement in operating margins; 
--  The expectation that 30% of our 2014 Russian pressure pumping revenue
    will be generated from horizontal wells compared to 20% in 2013; 
--  The expectation that the North Sea completion tools business will grow
    during 2014 as we increase in our customer base in the region; 
--  The intention to expand our Australian market share through sales and
    marketing initiatives. 
--  The belief that the long-term potential of the Australian market is
    strong and that we are committed to growing our presence in the region; 
--  The plan to explore opportunities to obtain more profitable contracts in
    Algeria or redeploy the Algerian assets into a more profitable area; 
--  The expectation that we will have more clarity on our future in Algeria
    once existing customer contract have been completed; 
--  The expectation that remaining expenditures on approved capital budgets
    will be approximately $65 million to $75 million; 
--  The expectation that $22.3 million in dividends will be paid in July
    2014; 
--  The belief that we have sufficient funding to meet foreseeable borrowing
    requirements.

and services; the ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a
timely and cost efficient manner; the ability to operate its business in a safe,
efficient and effective manner; the performance and characteristics of various
business segments; the effect of current plans; the timing and costs of capital
expenditures; future oil and natural gas prices; currency, exchange and interest
rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental
matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and the ability of
the Company to successfully market its products and services.

global economic, political and business conditions; weather conditions;
regulatory changes; the successful exploitation and integration of technology;
customer acceptance of technology; success in obtaining issued patents; the
potential development of competing technologies by market competitors; and
availability of products, qualified personnel, manufacturing capacity and raw
materials. The foregoing important factors are not exhaustive. In addition,
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking

covenants that are typical for this type of arrangement. Trican was in
compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2014 (2013 - in compliance).

The Notes payable require the Company to comply with certain financial and
