E Enterprise Group Inc

Enterprise Group, Inc. ("Enterprise", or "Company") (TSX:E) is pleased to
announce the Company's results for the period ended June 30, 2013.


QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS



--  Enterprise's operations are seasonal and the second quarter continues to
    be the slowest quarter of the year. It has been well publicized that the
    weather in western Canada during the second quarter has had a
    significant impact on both utilities and infrastructure construction
    projects, which has also affected Enterprise's rental equipment
    division. This in turn has created a backlog of work which will have a
    positive impact on revenue in the last half of the year. During this
    slower operational period, Enterprise focused on its strategy by
    solidifying financing, assessing future acquisitions and completing the
    previously announced acquisition.
      
--  Enterprise completed the acquisition of a specialized underground
    infrastructure construction company, Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal
    Augering Ltd., for a purchase price of $12,000,000 plus working capital.
    The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash, the issuance
    of 727,908 common shares at a deemed price of $0.69 per share and vendor
    take-back financing in the amount of $1,000,000 to be paid over two
    years. This acquisition is aligned with the Company's strategy to focus
    on infrastructure and specialty rental operations and will assist to
    mitigate the seasonality of existing operations and provide significant
    future growth opportunities. The effective date of the acquisition was
    June 14, 2013 and combined with the wet conditions and flooding in
    Alberta, the impact of this acquisition on the second quarter operating
    results is minimal. The Company estimates that if this acquisition had
    occurred January 1, 2013, the Company's consolidated revenues and net
    income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been
    approximately $19,000,000 and $5,100,000 respectively.
      
--  In the second quarter, the Company increased its senior secured finance
    facility to a maximum of $20,000,000 from $12,500,000. The increase
    provides an additional financing source for future acquisitions, capital
    expenditures and working capital.
      
--  In June 2013, the Company purchased land for $2,050,000 to support the
    new multi-million dollar service contract awarded in the first quarter
    to the utilities/infrastructure construction division. The land will
    have multiple purposes providing operational efficiencies and cost
    effectiveness while servicing the new contract.
      
--  Artic Therm International Ltd. has completed the construction of 3
    project units which are in the final commission stage. The remaining 3
    units are on schedule for completion in the fall to take advantage of
    the busy winter heating season.
      
--  Earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.03
    compared to $0.01 in the same period last year. Earnings per share for
    the quarter was ($0.02) compared to $0.01 in the same period last year.
      
--  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 net income was $1,624,000
    compared to $585,000 in the same period last year, an increase of
    $1,039,000. Net loss for the quarter was ($1,523,000), compared to net
    income of $417,000 in the same period last year. Results include a non-
    cash charge of $625,000 for the fair value of stock options issued and
    also includes an additional $500,000 of fees associated with raising
    capital and the acquisition.
      
--  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $13,730,000 compared
    to $7,523,000 in the same period last year, an increase of $6,207,000.
    Revenue for the quarter increased by $934,000 to $4,826,000 compared to
    the same period last year.
      
--  EBITDAS(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by
    $2,501,000 to $3,906,000 compared to the same period last year. EBITDAS
    for the quarter decreased by $805,000 to $5,000 compared to the same
    period last year.

Forward Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute forward-looking
information. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future
performance. The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will",
"projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to
matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking
information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to
the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future results may differ
materially. The Company's Annual Information Form and other documents filed with
securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website
www.sedar.com) describe the risks, material assumptions and other factors that
could influence actual results and which are incorporated herein by reference.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable
securities laws.


Non-IFRS Measures

The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA is
not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is
therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains
references to EBITDA. This non-IFRS measure used by the Company may not be
comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes
that in addition to net income, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it
provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal
business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed
or how the results are taxed. EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding
depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes.
