statements and information included in this MD&A should not be unduly relied upon. These forward-looking statements and
information speak only as of the date of this MD&A.
In particular, forward-looking information and statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation:
The 2012 capital expenditure budget has been approved by the Board of Directors and is projected to be
$38.9 million. PHX Energy plans to expand its fleet with the addition of 28 MWD systems, down hole
performance drilling motors and the required ancillary equipment. As a result, further reductions to the level of
third party equipment rentals are anticipated.
Growth in international areas is expected in 2012 with the addition of a fifth rig in Albania late in 2011,
improvements to the reliability of the Resistivity While Drilling (“RWD”) fleet deployed and work recently
awarded in Russia, and the commencement of full service operations in Colombia expected late in the middle
of the year.
PHX Energy is concentrated on growing in all of its US operating regions.
At December 31, 2011, the Corporation had on order an additional 9 positive pulse MWD systems, all of
which are expected to be delivered during the end of the first quarter, and the Corporation expects to add 14
positive pulse and 5 CLT-EM MWD systems by mid-year. As a result, by the end of 2012 the Corporation
expects to have a fleet of 218 MWD systems, which would be comprised of 147 positive pulse MWD systems,
64 CLT EM-MWD systems and 7 RWD systems.
The Corporation’s objective is to maintain a strong balance sheet moving forward in 2012.
PHX Energy believes the reliability issues with respect to its RWD tool are now resolved.
The Corporation is examining cost reduction efforts in all areas but specifically regarding third party equipment
rental costs and within its down hole performance drilling motor repair operations. Management believes that
strategies can be put into place to improve margins and profitability in the upcoming year.
It is expected that the Permian Basin in Texas, Mid-Continent region in Oklahoma, and Bakken play in North
Dakota will contribute to Phoenix USA’s growth in 2012, along with activity within the Utica shale in Ohio.
The Corporation’s presence in Albania grew with the addition of a permanent Operations Manager and the
Corporation is continuing to hire, train, and develop local Albanian staff which is expected to create greater
efficiencies and profitability.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
-3-
PHX Energy would like to leverage its infrastructure in Albania by expanding its Eastern European operations
into other countries if the opportunity arises.
PHX Energy is optimistic towards the 2012 growth potential for Russia and expects that additional job
capacity could be added.
The Corporation's ability to maintain the current level of dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the
realization of cash flow from operations, and if the Corporation does not meet its budgeted cash flow from
operations, dividends to shareholders may be reduced.
If a sustained period of market uncertainty and financial market volatility persists in 2012, the Corporation's
activity levels, cash flows and access to credit may be negatively impacted, and the expenditure level would
be reduced accordingly.
The Corporation believes that future cash flows generated by the operations and access to additional liquidity
through capital and banking markets will be adequate to meet its financial obligations.
Cost reduction strategies and initiatives PHX Energy undertook in 2011 will continue to produce benefits into
2012.
In 2012, PHX Energy will continue to focus on capturing greater market share in its US and international
locations and on increasing operating margins in all areas, with the ultimate goal of generating EBITDA that
represents a greater percent of revenue.
The Northeast US region’s activity has slowed with lower natural gas prices, however, the Corporation
expects to remain active in the Marcellus shale, albeit at lower activity levels than in past years, and enter the
Utica shale.
There is also optimism towards the ability for operators in certain areas of South America to benefit from the
technologies that have helped create the momentum in North American horizontal drilling activity, and the
Corporation believes it is positioned to be at the forefront of this trend.
As the 2012-year progresses, PHX Energy will continue to examine its international operations, expanding
where markets and revenues are promising and scrutinizing areas that are underperforming. The Corporation
believes its international operations are heading in the right direction and in future anticipates that they will
represent 20 percent of consolidated revenue.
PHX Energy believes that its robust Canadian operations will also continue to thrive.

financial performance, business prospects, impact of competition, strategies, the general stability of the economic and
political environment in which the Corporation operates; exchange and interest rates; tax laws; the sufficiency of budgeted
capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour and services and the adequacy of
cash flow; debt and ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to fund its planned expenditures, which are subject to
change based on commodity prices; market conditions and future oil and natural gas prices; and potential timing delays.

factors that could affect the Corporation's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with the Canadian
Securities Regulatory Authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) or at the

As a result of strong demand for services in 2011, a record level of capital expenditures, $49.3 million, was incurred in the
year. These expenditures were financed by cash flow from operations and borrowing under the Corporation’s extendible
debt facility. With these capital expenditures, PHX Energy’s job capacity increased by 27 percent to 190 concurrent jobs
from 150 in 2010 through the addition of 38 positive pulse MWD systems and two RWD systems. As at December 31, 2011,
the Corporation’s MWD fleet consisted of 124 positive pulse MWD systems, 59 current loop telemetry electromagnetic (“CLT
EM”) MWD systems, and 7 RWD systems. Of these, 97 MWD systems were deployed in Canada, 72 in the US, 8 in Russia,
5 in Albania, and 4 in both Peru and Colombia.
At December 31, 2011, the Corporation had on order an additional 9 positive pulse MWD systems, all of which are expected
to be delivered during the end of the first quarter, and the Corporation expects to add 14 positive pulse and 5 CLT-EM MWD
systems by mid-year. As a result, by the end of 2012 the Corporation expects to have a fleet of 218 MWD systems, which would
be comprised of 147 positive pulse MWD systems, 64 CLT EM-MWD systems and 7 RWD systems.
In light of the Corporation’s increased requirements for capital expenditures, in 2011 PHX Energy increased its extendible debt
facility with its bank by $40.0 million. As a result the total debt facility, including a $10.0 million demand overdraft revolving
facility, was $90.0 million at the end of the 2011-year. The Corporation’s objective is to maintain a strong balance sheet moving
forward in 2012. PHX Energy exited the 2011-year with net debt (long-term debt less working capital) of $11.1 million.
The Corporation paid dividends to its shareholders in 2011 of $0.48 per share (2010 - $0.48 per share), or $12.5 million for
the year (2010 - $12.2 million). PHX Energy ended 2011 with a conservative cash dividend payout ratio of 29 percent (cash
dividends paid divided by funds from operations). In light of this and strong current and forecasted operational activity levels,
the Board of Directors has approved a 50 percent increase in the monthly dividend to $0.06 per share, or $0.72 on an
annualized basis, from $0.04 per share, or $0.48 on an annualized basis. This dividend increase will be effective for the
Corporation’s March 2012 dividend that will be payable on April 13, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business
on March 30, 2012 and PHX dividends are designated as an “eligible dividend” within the meaning of subsection 89(1) of the
Income Tax Act (Canada). The ex-dividend date is March 28, 2012.
Equity Financing There were no equity financings undertaken by the Corporation in the 2011 and 2010-years. The Corporation has financed
its operations through its internally generated cash flows and bank borrowings.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
-9-
Business Acquisitions The Corporation did not complete any business acquisitions in 2011 nor in 2010. PHX Energy has been successful in
growing its business internally by strategically targeting US and international markets, and increasing its market share in
Canada and the US with superior services and technology.
Key Drivers of the Corporation’s Business PHX Energy considers the following to be the key drivers of its business.
World demand for natural gas and oil commodities directly affect oil and natural gas prices. These in turn have
a direct impact on the Corporation’s customers’ level of cash flows and their ability to fund capital drilling
programs with the use of debt or equity financing, ultimately impacting PHX Energy’s activity levels.
New drilling technologies must be continually developed for the Corporation to further expand and meet the
ongoing demands from its customers, oil and natural gas producing companies, for greater operating
efficiencies.
Superior customer service and satisfaction must be delivered and achieved consistently in order to retain
business.
The Corporation must attract, train and retain key personnel in order to ensure future growth.
Policies in areas such as taxation put in place by government authorities can affect the profitability and overall
activity levels of the industry, the Corporation and its customers.
Key Performance Measures There are several performance measures that are used by the Corporation to assess its performance relative to its strategies
and goals, the most significant of which are:
EBITDA and EBITDA as a percentage of revenue;
gross profit margin;
dividends as a percentage of cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital;
the reliability of the Corporation’s equipment and ability to provide high quality services in the field; and
health and safety performance targets.

SG&A costs excluding share-based payments as a percentage of revenue 11% 14% 11% 12%
SG&A costs for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 19 percent to $8.5 million as compared to
$10.5 million in 2010. Included in SG&A costs under IFRS are share-based payments of $0.5 million in the 2011-quarter as
compared to a $2.5 million in the 2010 comparable period. Excluding these costs, in both the 2011 and 2010-quarters SG&A
costs were $8.0 million, despite activity in 2011 being greater. As a result, the SG&A cost excluding share-based payments
represented 11 percent of consolidated revenue in the 2011 three-month period compared to 14 percent in the 2010-period.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, SG&A costs increased by 17 percent to $31.6 million as compared to $27.0 million
in 2010. Excluding share-based payments of $3.0 million in the 2011-year and $4.1 million in the corresponding 2010-year,
SG&A costs as a percentage of consolidated revenue were 11 and 12 percent, respectively.
SG&A costs, excluding share-based payments, generally increased in dollar terms during the 2011-year due to payroll
related costs associated with the greater activity and additional expenses with respect to the growth and expansion of PHX
Energy’s international operations.
Share-based payments relate to the amortization of the fair values of issued options of the Corporation using the Black-
Scholes model. In the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2011, share-based payments decreased by 81
percent and 27 percent, respectively. The decrease in the 2011-year is related predominantly to a re-statement made to the
fair value of options previously reported in 2010 as a result of the transition to IFRS.

Research and development expense 503 360 40 2,124 1,809 17
Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures charged to net earnings during each of the three-month periods ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition, during the same 2011-period,
$0.1 million (2010 - $0.2 million) were capitalized as development costs on certain projects.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, R&D expenditures of $3.2 million were incurred, of which $1.1 million were
capitalized as deferred development costs. R&D expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $2.5 million, of
which $0.7 million were capitalized.

Finance charges increased to $2.1 million in the 2011-year from $0.7 million in 2010. In order to fund PHX Energy’s
extensive capital expenditure programs in 2010 and 2011, additional bank borrowings were incurred.

Other income 1,859 1,441 29 5,589 3,575 56
For the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2011, other income is represented by gains on disposition of
drilling equipment of $1.9 million (2010 - $1.4 million) and $5.6 million (2010 - $3.6 million), respectively. The dispositions of
drilling equipment relate primarily to equipment lost in well bores that are uncontrollable in nature. The gain reported is net of
any asset retirements that are made before the end of the equipment's useful life and self-insured down hole equipment
losses, if any. Gains typically result from insurance programs undertaken whereby proceeds for the lost equipment are at
current replacement values, which are higher than the respective equipment's book value. There was a higher occurrence of
losses in both the 2011-quarter and year as compared to the corresponding 2010-periods.

Energy’s Canadian activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 – 76 percent) with the remainder of activity primarily
related to liquids rich natural gas.
Reportable segment profit before tax for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 increased by 85 percent to $10.5
million from $5.7 million in the 2010-quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2011, reportable segment profit before tax
increased by 109 percent to $29.0 million from $13.9 million in 2010. The increases in both 2011-periods were primarily due
to higher activity and resulting margins achieved.

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, US revenue of $23.5 million was generated compared to $20.8
million in the 2010-period, a 13 percent increase. The Corporation’s US operating days in the fourth quarter decreased by 14
percent to 2,015 days from 2,340 days in the 2010-quarter; however, this was offset by a 31 percent increase in overall day
rates realized in the 2011-quarter, $11,651 compared to $8,907 in the 2010-quarter. Horizontal drilling typically demands a
higher day rate than directional drilling due to extra personnel required, and horizontal oil well drilling represented
approximately 39 percent of Phoenix USA’s overall activity, as measured by drilling days, in the three-month period ended
December 31, 2011 as compared to 26 percent in the 2010-period.
In comparison, US industry activity, as measured by the average number of horizontal and directional rigs running on a daily
basis, increased by 20 percent to 1,384 rigs in the fourth quarter of 2011 from 1,155 rigs in 2010. (Source: Baker Hughes)
The Corporation’s US revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 10 percent to $93.5 million from $85.2
million in the comparable 2010-period. Phoenix USA achieved a 13 percent increase in its average day rates, $10,432 in
2011 as compared to $9,201 in 2010, and US operating days decreased slightly by 3 percent, 8,961 days in the 2011-year
compared to 9,255 days in 2010-year. In addition, US revenue was adversely impacted in 2011 due to a strengthening
Canadian dollar against the US dollar.
In 2011, Phoenix USA was active in oil and liquids rich natural gas drilling areas such as the Permian Basin, Barnett,
Eagleford and Bakken. Additionally, the Lower Huron and Marcellus, where operators drill for dry gas, were active areas. US
industry activity, as measured by the average number of horizontal and directional rigs running on a daily basis, increased by
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
-19-
25 percent for the year ended December 31, 2011 to 1,305 rigs, 69 percent of total activity, as compared to 1,044 rigs, 68
percent of total activity in the 2010-year.
PHX Energy has been focused on expanding its core US markets as the US continues to be one of the largest markets in the
world. The Corporation expanded its Gulf Coast operations in 2011 by opening two new Operations Centers, one in the
Permian Basin in Midland, Texas and the other in the Mid-Continent region in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Corporation
also, late in the year, launched a new proprietary power section for its down hole performance drilling motor fleet that was
designed specifically for drilling conditions in the Bakken region. It is expected that these areas will contribute to Phoenix
USA’s growth in 2012 along with activity within the Utica shale in Ohio.
Reportable segment loss before tax for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 57 percent to $0.6
million from $1.3 million in the 2010-period. For the year ended December 31, 2011, reportable segment profit before tax
decreased by 34 percent to $3.5 million from $5.3 million in 2010. The decline was caused by lower activity levels in the
fourth quarter, along with higher third party equipment rental charges and down hole performance drilling motor repair costs.

PHX Energy’s international operations are gaining momentum and revenue and operating days set new quarterly and annual
records for the Corporation. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, international revenue increased by 20
percent to $6.3 million from $5.2 million in the 2010-quarter and international operating days also increased 20 percent from
379 days in 2010 to 456 days in 2011. The Corporation generated 9 percent of its consolidated revenue from international
operations in both three-month periods. Revenue increased by 64 percent to $22.2 million for the 2011-year as compared to
$13.5 million in 2010 and operating days increased from 973 days in 2010 to 1,737 days in 2011; a 79 percent increase.
The Corporation’s most active international area in 2011, as in the past, was Albania. PHX Energy commenced providing
drilling services on a fifth rig in November 2011 and has successfully drilled in excess of 160 wells in Albania since 2008.
The Corporation’s presence in the Country grew with the addition of a permanent Operations Manager and the Corporation is
continuing to hire, train, and develop local Albanian staff which is expected to create greater efficiencies and profitability.
PHX Energy would like to leverage its infrastructure in Albania by expanding its Eastern European operations into other
countries if the opportunity arises.

Despite challenges with relatively low industry activity in 2011, the Corporation’s Peruvian operations, Phoenix TSP, realized
an increase in operating days as compared to 2010. In the fourth quarter, Phoenix TSP was successful in securing a contract
for both offshore and land drilling applications. The Corporation is also continuing to work with a number of operators, and
currently, the Corporation has a job capacity of 4 full service jobs in Peru. To date, PHX Energy has had an excellent
performance record with existing clients due to the reliability of PHX Energy’s technology deployed.
Even though Russian job activity in 2011 more than doubled that of the 2010-year, it did not reach the annual targets that the
Corporation had set for its Russian operations, Phoenix TSR, primarily due to equipment issues encountered with the
Corporation’s RWD tool. However, with design improvements deployed, PHX Energy is optimistic towards 2012 growth
potential for Russia. Phoenix TSR has developed the much needed visibility among key operators in the Nizhnevartovsk
region and has secured work from a large exploration and development company within Russia. Presently there is a
concurrent job capacity of 8 in Russia but with upcoming forecasted activity it is expected that additional job capacity could
be added in 2012.
In Colombia PHX Energy spent the majority of 2011 building up its infrastructure in the country. The Corporation’s first
Colombian job, a down hole performance drilling motor rental, was completed in the first part of 2012, and it is expected with
the recent business development initiatives undertaken, full service drilling activity will commence mid-2012. The Corporation
will use its resources from Peru to assist with the Colombian operations where viable. PHX Energy’s operations in Colombia
currently have a 4 job capacity.
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, reportable segment profit before tax is $0.9 million, which is the same
level as in the corresponding 2010-period. Reportable segment profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $3.7
million as compared to $3.8 million in 2010; a 4 percent decrease. Despite the large pick-up in activity led by Albania, the
increase in international profit was lower than expected as a result of the start-up of Colombia and the lower than expected
activity levels in Peru and Russia.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
-27-
Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation
has financial liabilities, thus, is exposed to liquidity risk. The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure
that it always has sufficient cash and credit facilities to meet its obligations when due. Management typically forecasts cash
flows for a period of twelve-months to identify financing requirements. These requirements are then addressed through a
combination of demand credit facilities and access to capital markets. The Corporation believes that future cash flows
generated by the operations and access to additional liquidity through capital and banking markets will be adequate to meet
its financial obligations.
The following table reflects the Corporation’s anticipated payment of contractual obligations related to continuing operations
as at December 31, 2011:

As at December 31, 2011, the Corporation had purchase commitments for $24.7 million in drilling and other equipment.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments The Corporation has designated its accounts payable and dividends payable as other financial liabilities carried at amortized
cost. Accounts receivable are designated as loans and receivables, measured at amortized cost. The Corporation’s carrying
values of these items approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments. Loans and
borrowings have been designated as an other financial liability, and it is measured at amortized cost. The fair value of loans
and borrowings included in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair values as the indebtedness is subject to
floating rates of interest.

representatives from approximately 170 countries met in Copenhagen, Denmark to attempt to negotiate a successor to the
Protocol. The result of such meeting was the Copenhagen Accord, a nonbinding political consensus rather than a binding
international treaty such as the Protocol. Implementation of strategies for reducing greenhouse gases, whether to meet the
limits required by the Protocol, the Copenhagen Accord or as otherwise determined, could have a material impact on the
nature of oil and natural gas operations, including those of the Corporation and the Corporation’s customers. Given the
evolving nature of the debate related to climate change and the control of greenhouse gases and the possible resulting
requirements, it is not possible to predict either the nature of those requirements or the impact on the Corporation and its
operations and financial condition.
Employees The success of the Corporation will be dependent upon key personnel. Loss of the services from such persons could have a
material adverse effect on the business and operations of the Corporation. The ability of the Corporation to expand its
services is dependent upon its ability to attract additional qualified employees.
Access to Equipment and Development of New Technology The ability of the Corporation to compete and expand is dependent upon it having access to certain drilling equipment and
components at a reasonable cost, and upon its ability to develop or acquire new competitive technology. The Corporation
purchases equipment from various suppliers in the oil and natural gas drilling service industry. There can be no assurance
that these sources for equipment will be maintained. If such equipment is not available, and is not available from any other
source, the Corporation’s ability to compete may be impaired.
Competition The Corporation’s major competitors are principally large multinational companies with significantly greater resources
available for marketing and R&D programs. The Corporation also competes with a number of other small and medium sized
companies. Like the Corporation, these companies have certain competitive advantages, such as low overhead costs and
specialized regional strengths. The Corporation’s ability to generate revenue depends on its ability to obtain contracts and to
perform services within projected times and costs.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
-31-
Oil and Natural Gas Industry Risk There are risks associated with the provision of drilling services to the oil and natural gas industry. The Corporation may
become liable for risks against which it may choose not to insure due to high premium costs, or which may exceed the limits of
policy coverage. Interruptions and delays caused by adverse weather conditions, equipment failures or other events can
significantly adversely affect revenue. While the Corporation will maintain liability insurance, the insurance is subject to
coverage limits. There can be no assurance that insurance will continue to be available to the Corporation on commercially
reasonable terms, that the possible types of liabilities that may be incurred by the Corporation will be covered by its insurance,
or that the dollar amount of such liabilities will not exceed policy limits. Even a partially uninsured claim, if successful and of
sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and prospects.
Seasonality In general, the level of activity of the Canadian oilfield service industry is influenced by seasonable weather patterns. Wet
weather and the spring thaw may make the ground unstable. Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation
departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby reducing activity
levels. Additionally, certain oil and natural gas producing areas are located in areas that are inaccessible, except during
winter months, because the ground surrounding or containing the drilling sites in these areas consists of swampy terrain
known as muskeg.
Foreign Operations The Corporation will conduct a certain portion of its business in the US, Albania, Peru, Russia, and Colombia. Any change in
government policies could have a significant impact on business. Risks of foreign operations include, but are not necessarily
limited to changes of laws affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties, rates of
exchange, inflation, exchange control, and repatriation of earnings. There are no assurances that the economic and political
conditions in the countries in which the Corporation operates will continue as they are at the present time. The effect of these
factors cannot be accurately predicted.

2) Funds from Operations
Funds from operations is defined as cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working
capital. This is not a measure recognized under GAAP. Management uses funds from operations as an indication of the
Corporation’s ability to generate funds from its operations before considering changes in working capital balances. Investors
should be cautioned, however, that this financial measure should not be construed as an alternative measure to cash flows
from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. PHX Energy’s method of calculating funds from Operations
may differ from that of other organizations and, accordingly, it may not be comparable to that of other companies.
The following is a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to funds from operations:
(Stated in thousands of dollars)

Cash flows from operating activities 19,376 7,393 23,224 12,755

Income taxes paid 52 47 688 473
Funds from operations 12,918 6,633 42,972 27,246
Funds from operations per share - diluted is calculated using the treasury stock method whereby deemed proceeds on the
exercise of the share options are used to reacquire common shares at an average share price. The calculation of funds from
operations per share on a dilutive basis does not include anti-dilutive options.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Corporation
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Acquisitions prior to January 1, 2010
As part of its transition to IFRS, the Corporation elected to restate only those business combinations that occurred
on or after January 1, 2010. In respect of acquisitions prior to January 1, 2010, goodwill represents the amount
recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (the Corporation’s previous accounting
framework). All assets and liabilities qualified for recognition under IFRS.
ii. Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Corporation’s entities
at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The methods used to account for assets and liabilities relating
to foreign currency transactions entered into by the Corporation, and to measure the foreign exchange risk arising
on such transactions, depend upon whether the asset or liability in question is classified as a monetary or non-
monetary item.
Receivables, liabilities and other monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are
retranslated at the functional currency spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences that
arise between the rate at the transaction date and the one in effect at the payment date or the rate at the balance
sheet date are recognized in the income statement as other expense.
Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories and other non-monetary items purchased in foreign
currencies and that are measured on the basis of historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the
dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
iii. Foreign Operations
When entities, which prepare their financial statements in a functional currency other than Canadian dollars, are
recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the income and expenses are translated at the monthly
average exchange rates. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars at the
rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-49-
Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income in the cumulative translation account.
The exchange differences arising on the translation to the Corporation’s presentation currency are recognized
directly in the cumulative translation reserve as a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign
operation, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve relating to that particular
foreign operation is recognized in the income statement as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor
likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are
considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive
income, and are presented within equity in the foreign currency translation reserve.
In accordance with IFRS 1, the Corporation has elected to deem all foreign currency translation differences that
arose prior to the date of transition in respect of all foreign operations to be nil at the date of transition.
b) Financial Instruments
i. Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation initially recognizes trade and other receivables on the date that they originate. All other financial
assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date at
which the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when,
and only when, the Corporation has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or
to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Corporation has the following non-derivative financial assets: financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss, and trade and other receivables.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated
as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the
Corporation manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in
accordance with the Corporation’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition,
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-50-
attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and deposits with original maturities of three-months or less.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand, and form an integral part of the Corporation’s cash management,
are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
The Corporation initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are
originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Corporation becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Corporation derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
The Corporation has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and
trade and other payables.
Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
ii. Share Capital
Common shares
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and
share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-51-
c) Property, Plant and Equipment
i. Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost is comprised of the acquisition price, costs directly attributable to the acquisition and preparation costs of the
asset until the time when it is ready to be put into operation. Where material, borrowing costs directly attributable
to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to
ready for use) are included in capitalized cost. Borrowing costs have not been material to the cost of assets for
any period presented. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour and any
other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within
other income in the Corporation’s profit or loss.
ii. Subsequent Costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the
item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Corporation, and its
cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-
day servicing of property, plant and equipment (repair and maintenance) are recognized in the Corporation’s profit
or loss as incurred.
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-52-
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation expense is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and is calculated using the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or
other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from
the remainder of that asset, then that component is depreciated separately.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Directional drilling equipment 4 to 8 years straight-line, 0 to 20 percent residual value
Office and computer equipment 3 to 5 years straight-line
Machinery and equipment 5 years straight-line
Vehicles 5 years straight-line
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if
appropriate.
d) Intangible Assets
i. Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.
In respect of acquisitions prior to January 1, 2010, goodwill is included on the basis of its deemed cost, which
represents the amount recorded under previous Canadian GAAP.
Subsequent measurement
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
ii. Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-53-
iii. Research and Development Costs
Expenditure on research activities undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge
and understanding is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved product and
process. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product
or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Corporation
intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure
capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the
asset for its intended use, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for
capitalization is on or after January 1, 2010. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as
incurred.
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditures
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which is relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
iv. Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
Amortization is recognized in the Corporation’s profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely
reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated
useful life for intangibles is 2-years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if
appropriate.
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-54-
e) Leased Assets The Corporation has both vehicle and premise leases that have been determined to be operating leases and are
recognized in the income statement.
f) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the
first-in first-out method, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion
costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of
manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overhead based
on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses.
g) Impairment
i. Financial Assets (Including Receivables)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine
whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates
that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect
on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring
of an amount due to the Corporation on terms that the Corporation would not consider otherwise, and indications
that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy.
The Corporation considers evidence of impairment for receivables at a specific asset level. All individually
significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-55-
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference
between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s
original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against
receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognized through the unwinding of the discount.
When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is
reversed through profit or loss.
ii. Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are
reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite
useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are
grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (“CGU”). For the purposes of goodwill
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the group of CGUs that is expected
to benefit from the synergies of the combination. This allocation is subject to an operating segment ceiling test and
reflects the lowest level at which that goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill was allocated
to the Canadian CGU.
The Corporation’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate
asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset
belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying
amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-56-
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized
in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer
exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment
loss had been recognized.
iii. Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related
service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus plans if the Corporation
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the
employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become
entitled to the awards (vesting period). The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of
awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the
amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service
and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share retention awards, which are settled in cash,
is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees
unconditionally become entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement
date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized as personnel expense in profit or loss.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-57-
h) Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Corporation has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding
of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
i) Revenue Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit and loss as services are provided based on the proportion
of total services delivered at the balance sheet date. The Corporation’s services are sold based upon bid
acceptance or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices based upon daily, hourly or job
rates. The criteria for recognition of rendering services are:
probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity,
stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably,
amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and
costs incurred and costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
Based on these criteria, sales of horizontal and directional drilling services are recognized in the period in which
services are rendered. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and is recorded net of
sales tax, duties, customer discounts and similar charges. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured
reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Revenue is reported net of supplier costs when the Corporation is acting as an agent between the client and the
supplier. Factors generally considered to determine whether the Corporation is a principal or an agent are most
notably whether it is the primary obligor to the client, it assumes credit and delivery risks, or it adds meaningful
value to the supplier’s product or service.
Income from recharges of freight and other activities which are incidental to the normal revenue generating
activities is included in drilling service revenue.
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-58-
j) Lease Payments Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of
the lease.
k) Finance Income and Finance Expense Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the
Corporation’s profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance expense comprises interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in the Corporation’s profit or loss
using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
l) Income Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or
loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that
is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating
to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the
initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to
temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current

During the year ended December 31, 2011, a total of 462,570 (2010 - 957,241) options were exercised at exercise
prices between $4.20 and $10.24 (2010 - $4.24 to $10.24), a total of 116,842 (2010 - 35,835) options were
forfeited, and 69,005 (2010 - 13,834) options were cancelled. As at December 31, 2011, the Corporation had a
total of 2,493,321 (2010 - 1,837,359) options outstanding which expire over a period of 2 to 5 years.
The fair value of options that were exercised for the year ended December 31, 2011 in the amount of $2,298,676
(2010 - $1,617,986) has been added to share capital.
The Corporation values all of its share options using the Black-Scholes model. The Corporation’s determination of
fair value of options on the date of grant is affected by the Corporation’s share price as well as assumptions
regarding a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Corporation’s expected share
price volatility over the term of the options of 41 percent, annual dividends of $0.48, and a risk free interest rate of 2

b) Retention Award Plan The Retention Award Plan results in eligible participants receiving cash compensation in relation to the value of a
specified number of underlying notional Retention Awards (“RA”). Retention Awards vest evenly over a period of
three-years. Upon vesting and subsequent exercise, the holder is entitled to receive a cash payment based on the
fair value of the underlying shares determined using the five-day weighted-average trading price of the shares
ending immediately prior to the exercise date plus accrued reinvested dividends.

The following table reflects the Corporation’s anticipated payment of contractual obligations related to continuing
operations as at December 31, 2011:
(Stated in thousands of dollars)
2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Loans and borrowings - 22,400 33,600 - -
Operating leases 2,740 2,483 1,882 1,750 1,514

Dividends payable 1,065 - - - -
Total 48,344 24,883 35,482 1,750 1,514
c) Fair Values of Financial Instruments The Corporation has designated its accounts payable and dividends payable as other financial liabilities carried at
amortized cost. Accounts receivable are designated as loans and receivables, measured at amortized cost. The
Corporation’s carrying values of these items approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to
maturity of the instruments. Loans and borrowings have been designated as an other financial liability, and it is
measured at amortized cost. The fair value of loans and borrowings included in the consolidated balance sheet
approximates fair values as the indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest.
d) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is created by fluctuations in the fair values of financial instruments due to changes in the market
interest rates. The Corporation has variable interest long-term debt which exposes it to fluctuations in cash
interest payment amounts.
A one percent change in interest rates would have increased or decreased the Corporation’s profit by $458,000.

Notes to the Reconciliations
i. Cumulative Translation Adjustment
In accordance with IFRS 1, the Corporation had elected to deem all foreign currency translation differences that
arose prior to the date of transition in respect of all foreign operations to be nil at the date of transition.
Under previous Canadian GAAP, the Corporation has accounted for its Peruvian and Russian subsidiaries as fully-
integrated operations and exchange differences upon translation to Canadian dollars were recognized in the
statement of earnings under the temporal method. In addition, in accordance with IFRS and the Corporation’s
accounting policy, from the date of transition, the exchange differences arising on the translation from the US dollar
functional currency to Canadian dollars are recognized directly in the cumulative translation reserve as a separate
component of equity.
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Condensed consolidated statement of financial position:
Increase in translation reserve at transition $ 3,459,990 $ 3,459,990
Foreign exchange differences on translation of Peruvian and Russian operations
- 685,532
Non-controlling interest portion (68,550)
Increase in accumulated other comprehensive income $ 3,459,990 $ 4,076,972
ii. Share-Based Payments
The Corporation is required to apply IFRS 2 share-based payments to equity instruments that were granted after
November 7, 2001, and that vest after January 1, 2010.
Recognition of expense
Under Canadian GAAP, for grants of share-based awards with graded vesting, the total fair value of the award was
recognized on a straight-line basis over the employment period necessary to vest the award. Under IFRS, each
tranche in an award with graded vesting is considered a separate grant with a different vesting date and fair value.
PHX Energy Services Corp. | 2011 Annual Report
-84-
Each grant must be accounted for on that basis, and as a result the Corporation adjusted its expense for share-
based awards to reflect this difference in recognition.
Forfeitures
Under Canadian GAAP, forfeitures of awards were recognized as they occur. Under IFRS, an estimate is required
of the number of awards expected to vest, which is revised if subsequent information indicates that actual
forfeitures are likely to differ from the estimate. As a result the Corporation adjusted its expense for share-based
awards to reflect this difference.
Cash-settled share-based payments
Under Canadian GAAP, a liability for share options was accrued based upon the intrinsic value of the award with
changes recognized in the income statement each period. Under IFRS, an entity must measure the liability incurred
at fair value by applying an option pricing model. Until the liability is settled, the fair value of the liability is remeasured
at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized as the awards vest. Changes in fair value of vested
awards are recognized immediately in earnings. As a result, the Corporation adjusted expenses associated with
options expected to be settled in a cash payment to reflect the changes of the fair values of these awards.
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Consolidated statement of financial position:
Change in the fair value of share options $ (1,171,802) $ 2,443,351
(Decrease) Increase in contributed surplus $ (1,171,802) $ 2,443,351
From transition date onwards, the Corporation also adjusted the amounts recognized in share capital upon option
exercise to reflect the changes of the fair values of these awards.
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Consolidated statement of financial position:
Change in the fair value of share options $ - $ (969,300)
Decrease in share capital $ - $ (969,300)
iii. Property, Plant & Equipment
The Corporation did not take the exemption under IFRS 1 to use fair value as deemed cost but rather applied IAS 16,
the “componentization approach” and identified parts of assets on an item-by-item basis using historical cost. In
rebuilding the historical cost of property, plant and equipment in compliance with IFRS componentization, adjustments
have been made to the Corporation’s opening statement of financial position at the January 1, 2010 transition date. As
a result, even though depreciation is calculated in the same manner, the amount of depreciation differs.
Consolidated Financial Statements & Notes
-85-
The impact arising from the componentization in property, plant and equipment is summarized as follows:
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Consolidated statement of financial position:
Componentization of property, plant and equipment $ (1,829,482) $ (1,174,712)
Decrease in property, plant and equipment $ (1,829,482) $ (1,174,712)
iv. Deferred Tax Liability
The above changes decreased (increased) the deferred tax liability as follows based on a tax rate of 25 percent -
Canada and 37.5 percent - US:
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Consolidated statement of financial position:
Property, plant and equipment $ 528,233 $ 360,450 Decrease in deferred tax liabilities / Increase in deferred tax assets $ 528,233 $ 360,450
The effect on the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was to increase the
previously reported tax charge for the period by $167,782.
v. Retained Earnings
The above changes increased (decreased) retained earnings (each net of related tax) as follows:
January 1, 2010 December 31, 2010
Consolidated statement of financial position:
Cumulative translation adjustment $ (3,459,990) $ (4,145,522)
Share-based payments 1,171,802 (1,474,054)
Property, plant and equipment (1,301,249) (814,262)
Decrease in retained earnings $ (3,589,437) $ (6,433,838)
