SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, Cordy's consolidated revenues decreased by $29.9 million, from the comparative period in 2014. This significant drop is attributable to Cordy's initiatives in response to the cancellation of significant contracts and the decline in oil and gas activity in western Canada. These initiatives include:

• The shutdown of all operations in the Heavy Construction segment except for the Pipeline and Facilities division based in Sundre, Alberta. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015 this has resulted in a decline of revenue in the Heavy Construction segment of $7.6 million, from the comparative period in 2014.
• Reduced operations in Cordy Manufacturing while alternatives were analysed. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015 this has resulted in a decline of revenue in the Manufacturing segment of $4.9 million, from the comparative period in 2014.

The Corporation incurred expenses related to this restructuring included in both direct operating and general and administrative expenses. These expenses include severances, consulting, legal fees, bringing equipment to market and other shut down costs.

The Environmental Services segment saw a decline in revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, of $3.3 million, from the comparative period in 2014. The volatility of commodity prices has resulted in reduced capital expenditures of Cordy Environmental's oilfield customers, which in turn has resulted in a pressure on rates and overall reduced demand for services. Despite the significant reduction of revenue, the segment produced only $0.5 million lower EBITDAS than in the same period of the prior year. This can be attributable to significant cost reductions implemented Company wide.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 Lyncorp agreed to extend the facility until June 2016, payments of $0.3 million will be made 15 days after each quarter end and bears interest at 15 percent per annum. Cordy made a $0.3 million payment in July 2015 against the principal balance.

On July 31, 2015, Cordy Manufacturing Inc. ("CMI"), wholly owned subsidiary of Cordy Oilfield Services, sold inventory having an aggregate book value of $2.2 million to Cordy Oilfield Services for a purchase price of $2.2 million. The purchase price was satisfied by the set-off of $2.2 million of debt owed to Cordy Oilfield Services by CMI. Prior to this transaction, CMI was indebted to Cordy Oilfield Services in the total amount of $8.8 million.

On August 10, 2015, Cordy Oilfield Services sold CMI, inclusive of its liabilities, to an arm's length purchaser in consideration of the purchase price of one dollar. As a result, Cordy has exited the manufacturing and supply business and now carries on business in two segments, Environmental Services and Heavy Construction.

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING AND OUTLOOK

Continuing volatility of commodity prices has resulted in a significantly reduced demand from customers and a more competitive environment. Cordy has continued to take steps to prepare for a prolonged decline in activity as a result of the weakened crude oil prices. Cordy successfully completed a number of initiatives with the objective of strengthening its balance sheet by reducing debt, shedding non-core assets and managing costs.

These initiatives have included:

• selling a significant portion of its property and equipment relating to the Heavy Construction segment and currently only actively operating its Pipeline and Facilities division based in Sundre, Alberta,
• selling underutilized equipment in the Environmental Services segment, while taking measures to improve utilization,
• sale of the Manufacturing and Supply segment, in the third quarter of 2015,
• implementing cost cutting measures across Cordy to mitigate losses, and
• extending financing agreements resulting in reduced monthly payments.

Cordy continues to rationalize the business and ensure it is responding to economic demands and uncertainties. This includes cutting all expense items including fleet size, headcount and discretionary spending as well as working capital to ensure the Corporation can satisfy customer requirements. Cordy expects our Construction and Environmental segments will face extremely competitive pressures, relative to last year, until commodity prices and demand improves. As Cordy continues to work towards right sizing our business, given the uncertainty of commodity prices, we have put additional focus on sales and service to non-oilfield customers. Furthermore, Cordy continues to explore creative and strategic alliances to deploy its equipment throughout western Canada.

2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Cordy will hold its annual general meeting of shareholders on Tuesday, November 10, 2015. The record date for the meeting will be October 5, 2015. Meeting materials will be mailed to shareholders in mid-October 2015.
