INTRODUCTION
1.1
On October 14, 2015, pursuant to an order of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta (the
“Court” or “Canadian Court”), PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) was appointed
as receiver (in such capacity, the “Receiver”), without security, of all of the current and
future assets, undertakings and properties of every nature and kind whatsoever, and
wherever situate including all proceeds thereof of Enseco Energy Services Corp.
(“Enseco Canada”) pursuant to section 243(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act,
R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3 (“BIA”).
1.2
Subsequently, on October 21, 2015, PwC was appointed Receiver of Enseco Energy
Services USA Corp. (“Enseco USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enseco Canada
operating in the United States (“U.S.”). The Enseco Canada and Enseco USA
receivership proceedings were consolidated under an Amended and Restated
Receivership Order (the “Receivership Order”).
1.3
Following the commencement of the Receivership proceedings in Canada, the Receiver
sought provisional relief from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Colorado (the "U.S. Court") pursuant to Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (“Chapter 15”). On November 3, 2015 a Preliminary Injunction Order was granted
against any person or entity from commencing or continuing any legal proceeding against
the Company.
1.4
A final hearing was held on November 30, 2015 for recognition of the Canadian
proceeding as the Foreign Main Proceeding, pursuant to Chapter 15, and the U.S. Court
granted Recognition Orders for Enseco Canada and Enseco USA.
1.5
Enseco Canada and Enseco USA are collectively referred to herein as “Enseco” or the
“Company”, unless otherwise stated.
1.6
On December 21, 2015 the Receiver assigned Enseco Canada into bankruptcy pursuant to
paragraph 3 (s) of the Receivership Order and PwC was named Trustee of the Estate.
1.7
HSBC Bank Canada (“HSBC”) is the Company’s major secured lender, holding a general
security agreement over all of Company’s present and after acquired personal in Canada
and the U.S.

1.8
HSBC is the plaintiff in these proceedings and we understand based on the materials filed
in these proceedings that HSBC is owed approximately $16.4 million.
1.9
This is the Receiver’s Third Report to the Court. The purpose of this report is to inform
the Court of the failure of TechMaster Oil Tools Inc. (“TechMaster”) to close on the sale
of the Leduc drilling and MWD assets (Lot 2) (the “Leduc Assets”), such sale having
been approved by the Court on January 12, 2016, and to seek an order approving an
auction of the Leduc Assets by Century Services Corp. (“Century”).
1.10
In accordance with industry practice, except as described in this Third Report, the
Receiver has not audited, reviewed or otherwise attempted to verify the accuracy or
completeness of the information in a manner that would comply with Generally Accepted
Assurance Standards pursuant to the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
Handbook.
1.11
The Receiver reserves the right to refine or amend its comments and findings as further
information is obtained or brought to its attention subsequent to the date of this Third
Report. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts noted herein are expressed in
Canadian dollars.
STATUS OF THE SALE OF ENSECO’S ASSETS AND TECHMASTER’S
FAILURE TO CLOSE ON ITS OFFER ON THE LEDUC ASSETS
2.1
As described in the Receiver’s Second Report dated December 21, 2015, the Receiver
sought approval of offers received on the sale of Enseco’s assets from 1st Rate Energy
Services Inc. (“1st Rate”) for the Grande Prairie/Red Deer production assets (Lot 1);
TechMaster for the Leduc Assets; and, Tiger Capital Group LLC (“Tiger”) for the U.S.
assets (Lots 3 and 4).
2.2
On January 12, 2016 the Canadian Court approved the sale of the Enseco assets to 1st
Rate, TechMaster and Tiger. Subsequently, on or about January 22, 2016 the U.S. Court
approved the sale of the Enseco assets to the above noted parties. The Receiver’s legal
counsel at both the Canadian and U.S. applications advised the Court of its concerns over
the ability of TechMaster to close on its offer.
2.3
The Receiver confirms that 1st Rate and Tiger closed on their offers on or about January
27, 2016 with the balance of their respective purchase prices having been remitted to the
Receiver; however, TechMaster has failed to close in a reasonable time period.

RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT
February 22, 2016
TechMaster advised that it was having difficulty securing funding for the purchase price.
The Receiver advises that TechMaster’s offer was unconditional.
2.4
The Receiver notes the following with respect to TechMaster:
2.4.1
On December 9, 2015, TechMaster provided the Receiver with a cheque for the
15% deposit which accompanied TechMaster’s offer for the Leduc Assets. That
cheque bounced. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of sale, offerors were to
provide their 15% deposit by way of certified cheque, bank draft or wire;
2.4.2
The Receiver pursued TechMaster for a replacement, certified cheque; however,
TechMaster advised that its partner, who was to provide the funding for its offer,
was in financial difficulty. TechMaster advised that they were in the process of
securing alternate funding from another source;
2.4.3
The Receiver proceeded to seek court approval for the TechMaster offer on
January 12, 2016 and advised TechMaster that it would provide TechMaster until
the end of January to come up with the 15% deposit and, upon receipt, would
consider allowing TechMaster additional time to close the deal, failing which the
Receiver would proceed to realize on the assets by other means;
2.4.4
On February 1, 2016, the Receiver was contacted by a representative of Promerita
Group who advised they were handling the financing of the Leduc transaction on
behalf of TechMaster and offered to pay 50% of the Leduc purchase price with the
balance being paid over a 6 to 9 month period. The Receiver declined this offer.
2.4.5
On February 11, 2016, TechMaster advised they had come to an agreement with a
company named KCR Fund (“KCR”) for the financing of the Leduc purchase
price. On February 13, 2016 a letter on KCR letterhead was provided to the
Receiver by TechMaster advising of KCR’s intention to fund the Leduc
transaction.
2.4.6
On February 13, 2016, the Receiver formally advised TechMaster that
TechMaster had failed to comply with the terms and conditions of sale and that
the Receiver was proceeding to realize on the Leduc Assets.
2.4.7
Attached as Appendix “A” is a copy of various email correspondence between the
Receiver and TechMaster since December 2015. In addition, attached as

RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT
February 22, 2016
Appendix “B” is a copy of KCR’s letter along with the Receiver’s February 13,
2016 letter and email sent to TechMaster.
3.
2.5
In early January 2016 the Receiver approached Century and Tiger to seek auction
proposals for the Leduc Assets as the Receiver had serious concerns that TechMaster
would be unable to close. Both Century and Tiger subsequently provided the Receiver
with auction proposals.
2.6
In addition, the Receiver approached a number of parties who were initially interested in
the Leduc Assets, but who had not submitted offers. Each party advised that they were
interested in some of the Leduc Assets but were not prepared to offer on all Leduc Assets.
2.7
After the issuance of the February 13, 2016 letter to TechMaster, on February 17, 2016
(and with the concurrence of HSBC) the Receiver executed Century’s auction proposal as
the Receiver and HSBC were of the view that the Century proposal would likely yield
higher recoveries than the Tiger proposal. Attached as Appendix “C” is a signed copy of
Century’s auction proposal.
2.8
The general terms of Century’s auction proposal are as follows:
2.8.1
0% commission payable to Century;
2.8.2
Century expenses of $27,500, payable to Century;
2.8.3
Century responsible for charging, collecting and remitting GST;
2.8.4
Century shall be responsible for collection of monies for all sales. All sale
proceeds shall be deposited in a trust account;
2.8.5
Century reserves the right to charge and retain a Buyer’s Premium;
2.8.6
Within 21 days of the sale, Century shall provide a full report of all asset sales
together with sale proceeds in the form of a cheque.
RECEIVER’S RECOMMENDATION
3.1
Despite the Receiver’s efforts to provide TechMaster with additional time, TechMaster
was unable to close on its offer to purchase the Leduc Assets and the Receiver has no
5
ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP. AND ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES
USA CORP.
RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT
February 22, 2016
confidence that TechMaster can secure funding in a reasonable time period in the near
future.
4.
3.2
The Receiver is of the view that remarketing the Leduc Assets for sale to strategic or
industry players would be time consuming, costly and likely not result in the receipt of
any offers. The Receiver’s previous efforts to market and sell the Company’s assets were
described in the Second Report, the results of which were noted in the Bid Summary
attached as Confidential Appendix “H” to the Second Report. As noted above, the
Receiver contacted a number of parties in the industry who had previously viewed the
Leduc Assets and they advised they were not interested in an en bloc purchase of the
Leduc Assets but would be interested if the Leduc Assets were to go to auction.
3.3
Further, the Receiver advises that the monthly rent obligation at the Leduc premises is
approximately $30,000. Accordingly, monthly holding costs are significant. Century has
advised the Receiver that it believes it will be in a position to sell the Leduc Assets and
vacate the Leduc premises by the end of March or shortly thereafter, which will mitigate
these holding costs.
3.4
Accordingly, the Receiver believes that proceeding with Century’s auction proposal is the
best course of action to realize on the Leduc Assets in an efficient, timely and cost
effective manner and that the terms of the Century auction proposal are reasonable.
3.5
Further, HSBC fully supports the Receiver proceeding with Century’s auction proposal.
3.6
The Receiver advises that it will be serving TechMaster with a copy of this Third Report
and application materials.
CONCLUSION
4.1
The Receiver respectfully requests that the Court grant the Receiver’s motion to approve
the auction proposal of Century for the Leduc Assets.

Thanks Nikan,
I'm assuming the partner you are negotiating with will be providing the funding for the purchase of the Enseco
equipment. Assuming that is correct and you consummate an agreement shortly, what is the timing/date of the
funds flowing to PwC?

Enseco - Update
Sean & Mark,
We have come to a verbal agreement with one of the parties we were negotiating with for our project.
This has been a time consuming task because as explained the project we have is large-scale and long
term. It will span the next two years and requires the tools that we have agreed to purchase from Enseco
among other things. The party that we agree to work with will be a part of this project, which makes this
step of negotiations very critical for us. We are now preparing the written agreement, and we estimate
that we should be able to meet the proposed 2 weeks ending on around January 20th, that we discussed
last week.

NIKAN SAMIMI

Hello Sean & Mark,
Sorry for the late response. We were looking for a response from a number of parties we are negotiating
with. They have been evaluating the documents we obtained from Enseco. We should have a final
response from the partner by tomorrow. We are also continuing negotiations with alternative parties. We
should have a firm date confirmed either by tomorrow or in the next couple of days. The commitment
we discussed over the phone still stands.
Thank you for obtaining the court approval.

We were in court yesterday and obtained approval of the sale of the Leduc assets to Techmaster. See the
attached order. Accordingly, we would like to proceed with a closing of the transaction with Techmaster asap.
I understand Mark has reached out to you by phone and email over the past week but has not received any
responses. We will have to make a decision soon regarding how we will be moving forward on the sale of Leduc
assets. In this regard, we request the following:
l
l
l
A commitment to provide us with daily updates on the status of funding or payment of the purchase price,
including timely responses to any inquiries we make of you.
A firm commitment date by which Techmaster will pay the purchase price to PwC.
Payment of the deposit immediately.
If we feel that the deal is floundering and Techmaster will be unable to close, we will have no choice but to
proceed with another offer for the Leduc assets. That decision will likely be made in the next 10 days unless
Techmaster can provide us with some comfort that it is able to close, along with providing us with the full amount
of the deposit.
We look forward to your response.

Hello Sean,
What you have pointed out is understood. We are doing our best to provide the funds for the tools in the
quickest possible way.
As noted the documentation will be very helpful to us in doing so. Please let us know if this
documentation is available, and when it can be provided. Whether (and how much of) this
documentation is available and when it can be provided, will enable us to choose the best path for
providing the funding for the tools.

Nikan,
Mark has kept me apprised of the issue with TechMaster. To summarize:
l
l
l
l
l
No certified cheque was provided with TechMaster's offer despite assurances leading up to the Bid
Deadline that one would be provided.
We accepted TechMaster's offer, deposited the cheque provided with TechMaster's offer and discovered
after that there were insufficient funds in TechMaster's bank account.
We were subsequently advised that a certified replacement cheque was in transit.
When we followed up with the status of this cheque, we were advised that a wire for the deposit would be
made instead and wire instructions were provided by PwC to TechMaster
Now we are advised that funding for TechMaster's offer is an issue due to concerns from an investor over
the "as is, where is" condition.
file:///C:/Users/sfleming010/AppData/Local/Temp/notesF3B52A/~web9058.htm
2/20/2016
Page 2 of 6
To be frank, we are extremely disappointed with TechMaster's handling of its offer. To be clear, the offer
submitted by TechMaster is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale which were accepted by TechMaster
when it submitted its offer. As a reminder, set out below are the key terms agreed to by TechMaster:
l
l
l
l
Para 5 - All tenders must be accompanied by a certified cheque or bank draft payable to
“PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., Receiver of Enseco”, for an amount equal to 15 percent of the Tender
(the“Deposit”). If the tender is accepted, the Deposit will be applied to the purchase price on closing. The
tenderer hereby agrees that the Deposit, subject always to paragraph 22, constitutes a genuine preestimate of damages and that the Deposit will be forfeited as liquidated damages by the tenderer to the
Receiver if the tender is withdrawn at any time before notification of the acceptance of the successful
tender has been given. Otherwise, the Deposit shall be returned to the tenderer if the tender is not
accepted and if the tender is accepted, the Deposit will be dealt with in accordance with the Terms and
Conditions of Sale.
Para 6 - In consideration of the Receiver making available the Terms and Conditions of Sale and/or in
consideration of receiving and considering any tender submitted, each tenderer agrees that its tender is
irrevocable and cannot be retracted, withdrawn, varied or countermanded prior to acceptance or rejection
thereof.
Para 12 - The Assets are being sold on an “as is, where is” basis. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, a tender will be accepted on the basis that no representation, warranty, inducement or condition
has been expressed, given or made or can be implied as to title, size, description, fitness for purpose or
intended use, quantity, number, condition or quality of the Assets or in respect of any other matter or thing
whatsoever, and the tenderer shall be deemed to have relied entirely upon his own inspection and
investigation of the Assets. All conditions and warranties provided for in the Alberta Sale of Goods Act and
any other relevant legislation in Canada or the United States are waived by the tenderer.
Para 22 - If the Purchaser fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the
Deposit and all other payments shall be forfeited and the Assets may be sold, and the deficiency, if
any, by such resale, together with all costs, expenses and charges attending to the same or
occasioned by such default, shall be paid forthwith by the Purchaser to the Receiver on demand
We have accepted TechMaster's offer and are proceeding to obtain Court approval. Accordingly, we expect
TechMaster to close the sale and remit the full amount of the purchase price to PwC once Court approval is
obtained in the middle of January. If TechMaster fails to close, we will have no choice but to pursue our legal
remedies. We draw your attention to paragraph 22 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale (bolded above).
While we are open to assisting TechMaster with providing whatever documentation is in our possession regarding
the kits, and we understand there are not issues with respect to the assets, we note that TechMaster has already
agreed that it has conducted its owned due diligence and inspection of the assets and is purchasing the assets,
"as is, where is". Therefore, from our perspective the availability of this documentation has no bearing on
TechMaster's offer and the closing of the sale.
Accordingly, we request the 15% deposit to be wired to us immediately. Please confirm to us within the next two
days that the wire payment has been made, failing which we will be pursuing other offers and seeking our
remedies against TechMaster pursuant to paragraph 22.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Sea

Subject: Re: Enseco - Wire Instructions
Hi Mark,
I have been speaking to the company owners and investors to figure out the situation. I was waiting to
reach a conclusion on where we stand.
First of all note that we have projects that require these tools, so there is no doubt that these tools are
needed. However, as discussed last week, one of the partners has become hesitant about the investment
that he is going to have to put in. This is due to the tools being sold “as is”. His concern is that what if a
number of the kits that we are purchasing do not work (beyond what can be fixed with regular service).
To address this concern, the simple solution for us is that we provide documentation such as test and
calibration records showing these tools are in working condition. This is documentation which these
tools are required to have, and we are quite certain that they should be available at Enseco, as we have
purchased similar tools in 2014 and 2015 from Enseco before (2 purchases with a total value of about
$1.5 million USD). We need your cooperation in collecting these documents so we can satisfy this
partner. We can send our personnel to assist with this.
Convincing that one partner is the quickest way, however we have been working with other parties as
alternatives to this partner for the investment, since as stated these tools are needed. These parties have
shown high interest, and we are sure that this project will happen, the only issue is the timing.

Enseco - Wire Instructions
Nikan,
Further to our conversation this morning, we confirm having advised you that the Receiver has been
communicating with representatives of TechMaster for several weeks regarding TechMaster's offer for the Leduc
assets and the deposit which accompanied the offer. At the time of the receipt of the offer, we drew attention to
TechMaster that the cheque was not certified. Upon notifying TechMaster of the Receiver's acceptance of the
offer on Lot 2, we advised TechMaster that we would be depositing the deposit cheque. You have advised us
that although the deposit cheque was signed by TechMaster and issued to PwC, there are insufficient funds in
TechMaster's bank account to cover this cheque.
We draw your attention to paragraphs 5, 16 and 22 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale described in the
Information Package, which TechMaster agreed it was subject to when TechMaster submitted its offer. In this
regard, we request the entire amount of the Lot 2 purchase price, totalling $ MM ($ MM + GST of $
), be
wired to us immediately. We understand you will be working to have these funds wired to us immediately. In
addition, we confirm having advised you that we will hold these funds in trust pending court approval and the
closing of the sale anticipated to occur around January 12, 2016. Set out below is the wire instructions for this
amount.

February 13, 2016 PwC Letter and Email to
TechMaster
KCR Letter to PwC attached to TechMaster Email
dated February 13, 2016
February 13, 2016
Mr. Kamran Samimi
President
Techmaster Oil Tools Inc.
5222 22 Avenue NW
Calgary, AB
T3B 0Y9
Dear Sirs:
Enseco Energy Services Corp. (“Enseco”) - In Receivership
Techmaster Oil Tools Inc. (“Techmaster”) - Offer on Leduc Assets
As you are aware, on December 9, 2015 Techmaster submitted an unconditional offer to purchase the
Enseco Leduc assets (Lot 2) pursuant to a sales process conducted by PwC in its capacity as Court
appointed Receiver of Enseco. On December 21, 2015, the Receiver accepted Techmaster’s offer and
subsequently obtained Court approval on January 12, 2016.
As of the date of this letter, and despite additional time afforded Techmaster by the Receiver to obtain
funding, we confirm the following:
1.
Techmaster failed to provide the Receiver with funds representing the 15% deposit required to be
submitted with Techmaster’s December 9, 2015 offer;
2. Techmaster advised that it does not having sufficient funds to complete the transaction or to
provide the Receiver with the 15%; and
3. Despite efforts to secure funding, Techmaster has failed to close on its offer to purchase the Leduc
assets in a reasonable time period and the Receiver does not have confidence funding is
forthcoming in the near future.
Accordingly, we advise that Techmaster has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of sale outlined
in the Receiver’s Information Package dated November 11, 2015. Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph 22 of
the terms and conditions, the Receiver is now free to sell the Leduc assets and pursue Techmaster for any
deficiency by such resale, together with all costs, expenses and charges attending to the same.
Yours truly,
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.
Receiver of Enseco Energy Services Corp.

Unfortunately we know nothing of KCR, their ability to fund or to even close a transaction. A letter of their
intention and financial statements are not sufficient, they are simply pieces of paper. As we have stated
on several occasions, we need evidence of a commitment to complete the deal, meaning a significant
non-refundable deposit or the full amount of the purchase price. If that was provided then we would likely
provide Techmaster with additional time. To date, we have neither and we cannot wait any longer.
Please see the attached letter.

then we might be able to circumvent the process; however, until I see something concrete

Unfortunately, $30K offer will not work. I have seen nothing that gives me confidence that
Techmaster will be able to close in 3 weeks. I will be sending Techmaster a formal letter
advising of the same. The time has come where we have to move forward with other options to
realize on these assets. It has been 2 months since we received the offer from Techmaster and
we are no further ahead. In fact, the delay has only resulted in additional costs for us.

Dear Sean,
My apologies, it is a long weekend here and we hit the weekend in the Middle
East waiting for the information to arrive.
Kamran is stuck between a rock and a hard place with people delaying the
promises to him. As such he notified me this morning that his team is prepared
to advance $30,000 and close in three weeks and I am advising you of the
same.
Please note that everyone is wishing to make this happen and the distance,
timing and commitments are not looked at as time sensitive as they are here.
If there are any issues please advise

I have communicated your points through Kamran to the overseas purchase

an alternative way forward to avoid the terms that would slow the delivery.
An alternative that was suggested is payment by way of an LC to us and we
would then discount and pay to you .
Kamranand his team are working hard to make this happen but are limited by the
time difference.
Please allow one more day for the Middle East group to advise response by end

Kamran/Farid,
I've spoken with HSBC. They are concerned with proposed 6 - 9 month period for the payment in

offer of 50% of the purchase price and Techmaster only taking 25% of the assets initially, they
have advised that the following terms would be acceptable to them.

PwC and Techmaster must come to an agreement by tomorrow afternoon based on the

Dear Sean,
KCR Fund has reviewed the proposed business plan presented by Techmaster
regarding the expansion of their existing Directional Drilling business in the Middle East.
We are providing this letter to confirm that we have come to an agreement with
Techmaster for a partnership in their project through a financial investment and
technical support during the implementation of the project. As part of our investment in
the project we will be financing the purchase of the Enseco Leduc assets sold through
tender and awarded to Techmaster, January 13, 2016.
The assets will be a key part of the investment required to expand the Directional
Drilling business in the Middle East. We have completed our due diligence and are
finalizing the MOU to enable our lawyers to complete drafting the final agreement. This
process should be completed within the next two weeks. We have only been brought
into this project recently and have expedited the process as Techmaster has made us
aware of the sense of urgency to consummate the agreement to complete the
transaction with PWC/Enseco.

KCR has invested in venture capital oil and gas projects in the past and is familiar with
the industry and the risks associated with the business. KCR is writing this letter to
confirm our intention to close the transaction and fund the project to complete the
acquisition of the Enseco Leduc assets. Our expectations is this transaction will be

require further assurance.
