Average daily production increased four percent to 58,344 boe per day in the third quarter of 2006 from 56,325 boe per day in the second quarter of 2006 and remained relatively stable when compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increase is mainly attributable to improved volumes at the Sable Offshore Energy Project after second quarter operational curtailments and new production from the Prespatou and heavy oil areas. Pengrowth has increased its full year production outlook to 62,500 to 63,500 boe per day which incorporates production additions from the Dunvegan and Carson Creek area acquisitions, the Esprit Energy Trust business combination and anticipated production additions from planned 2006 development activities, excluding the impact from other future acquisitions or divestitures.
 
During the quarter, Pengrowth generated $143.3 million ($0.89 per average trust unit outstanding) of distributable cash from operations and distributions to unitholders totaled $0.75 per trust unit.
 
Pengrowth’s average realized price after hedging decreased two percent to $53.67 per boe in the third quarter of 2006 when compared to $54.91 per boe recorded in the second quarter of 2006 and four percent when compared to the same period in 2005 when $56.07 was recorded. The decrease is due mainly to the continuing decline in natural gas prices and the negative impact of the strong Canadian dollar on relatively robust crude oil prices.
 
During the third quarter, Pengrowth successfully completed an acquisition from Exxon Mobil Canada Energy of the shares of a wholly owned subsidiary company that owned and controlled assets in the Carson Creek area in central Alberta for a total purchase price of $475 million prior to adjustments. The Carson Creek assets provide Pengrowth with ownership in one of the larger conventional original oil-in-place reservoirs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, are in close proximity to Pengrowth’s existing Judy Creek and Swan Hills properties, and add approximately 19 million boe of proved plus probable reserves and approximately 5,100 boe per day of mainly high-quality, light crude oil production.
 
Subsequent to quarter-end, Pengrowth also successfully completed the business combination with Esprit Energy Trust, which closed on October 2, 2006. This combination capitalized on the opportunity to acquire long life natural gas assets in an environment of lower natural gas prices. As a result of the combination, Pengrowth acquired approximately 18,350 boe per day of current production, 71.7 million boe of proved plus probable oil and natural gas reserves and 250,000 net acres of undeveloped land, including shallow gas and coalbed methane potential.

President’s Message
To our valued unitholders,
I am pleased to announce the unaudited quarterly results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The third quarter of 2006 was characterized by Pengrowth’s commitment to providing stable distributions to unitholders while executing its business plan for continued growth and success in both its operational activities and financial results.
In my annual letter dated February 27, 2006, I stated that Pengrowth’s objectives for the year ahead would be focused upon:
  1.   continuing to seek out high-quality acquisitions which target areas in which we already hold significant interests including large oil-in-place reservoirs, shallow gas properties with additional development potential and areas with coalbed methane prospects; and
 
  2.   to capitalize on organic growth opportunities including an increased concentration on exploiting our existing asset base, aggressively pursuing improved reserve recovery potential and enhancing operational efficiencies.
I am pleased to report that Pengrowth achieved success in both areas.
At the end of the third quarter, Pengrowth successfully completed an acquisition from Exxon Mobil Canada Energy of the shares of a wholly owned subsidiary company which owned and controlled assets in the Carson Creek area in central Alberta for a total purchase price of $475 million prior to adjustments. The Carson Creek acquisition was in line with our strategic direction and further strengthened Pengrowth’s high-quality asset base.
The Carson Creek assets provide Pengrowth with ownership in one of the larger conventional original oil-in-place reservoirs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and they are in close proximity to Pengrowth’s existing Judy Creek and Swan Hills properties. The acquisition expands our strategic focus area in light crude oil; provides anticipated field operating synergies; further development potential; and is expected to improve overall efficiencies for both the Judy Creek and Carson Creek facilities. The acquisition adds approximately 19 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of proved plus probable reserves and approximately 5,100 boe per day of mainly high-quality, light crude oil production.
In conjunction with the Carson Creek acquisition, Pengrowth completed a bought deal equity offering in which 23,310,000 trust units were issued at $22.60 per trust unit for gross proceeds of $526,806,000. The majority of the net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the acquisition, with the remaining net proceeds being applied against Pengrowth’s revolving credit facility or for general corporate purposes.
Subsequent to quarter-end, Pengrowth also successfully completed the business combination with Esprit Energy Trust, which closed on October 2, 2006. This combination illustrated our commitment to capitalize on counter-cyclical acquisitions as evidenced by acquiring these long life natural gas assets in the current environment of lower natural gas prices. As a result of the combination, Pengrowth acquired approximately 18,350 boe per day of current production, 71.7 million boe of proved plus probable oil and natural gas reserves and 250,000 net acres of undeveloped land, including shallow gas and coalbed methane potential.
The Esprit assets are highly concentrated with seven properties making up over 70 percent of the corporate total and are of a high quality with a proved plus probable reserve life index of 10.5 years. Esprit’s net undeveloped acreage position adds approximately 60 percent to Pengrowth’s existing undeveloped land base to total approximately 660,000 net acres. This large land base is expected to provide significant upside to the trust based on the growth and development opportunities associated with it.

 


 

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 5 -
The combination of these acquisitions is accretive to unitholders on all significant metrics including distributable cash, production and reserves per trust unit. Pengrowth also expects to realize additional value through infill development drilling opportunities, drilling on undeveloped lands and enhanced oil recovery potential. Pengrowth’s anticipated fourth quarter production is now approximately 79,000 boe per day which represents a slight decrease relative to our previous 81,000 boe per day estimate due to a combination of temporary third-party facility restrictions at Willesden Green and Three Hills; on-going well remediation and optimization work in Carson Creek; and weather-related delays in drilling and tie-ins across most areas. The trust retains an above sector average reserve life index of 10.6 years and the production mix will remain balanced at approximately 51 percent natural gas with the remainder in oil and natural gas liquids. The combination of our operations teams provides additional resources and technical expertise to take advantage of our expanded inventory of organic growth opportunities.
In the third quarter of 2006, Pengrowth continued to focus on enhancing its business through internal development opportunities including the further exploitation of our asset base and the active pursuit of improved reserve recovery. This was apparent in third quarter average daily production which increased four percent quarter over quarter. The increase is attributable to not only improved volumes at the Sable Offshore Energy Project but also our internal development program with new production additions from the Prespatou and the heavy oil areas.
We have raised our forecast for full year production to 62,500 to 63,500 boe per day which not only reflects the production associated with the Esprit and Carson Creek area acquisitions but also includes anticipated production additions from planned 2006 development activities. Pengrowth has spent approximately $179 million in the first three quarters of the year on its maintenance and development program with the majority of its development program directed at increasing production and improving reserve recovery through infill drilling. The 2006 capital program has been increased to $280 million, mainly reflecting additional capital related to the addition of the Esprit business combination.
During the third quarter, development capital totaled $56.8 million with approximately 75 percent directed towards drilling and completions. Pengrowth’s development program provided strong results during the quarter which included drilling 93 gross wells (43.7 net) with a 94 percent success rate.
Production testing of the new Quirk Creek gas well, in which Pengrowth holds a 68 percent working interest, was completed and has commenced production in October at a restricted rate of approximately 5 mmcf per day (3.4 mmcf per day net). We have also had some good success in our two-phase coalbed methane project in the Twining area of southern Alberta. In Phase 1, 11 wells were completed and five of these wells were tied in and are expected to begin production in the fourth quarter. The second phase consists of a 50 well program and during the third quarter Pengrowth drilled ten wells with an average working interest of 61 percent. Partners in the area drilled an additional 17 wells of which 15 are expected to be completed for production and the remaining two to come on stream in the fourth quarter. In addition, we have had reasonable success in the development of the new miscible flood pattern at Judy Creek which has continued to provide positive returns.
Pengrowth’s high quality, long-life assets have provided the trust with a stable production profile that is reflected in the steady distribution provided to unitholders. Distributable cash generated from operations remained relatively flat in the third quarter at $143 million ($0.89 per average trust unit outstanding) compared with $149 million ($0.93 per trust unit) in the second quarter of 2006. Distributions to unitholders during the quarter totaled $0.75 per trust unit.
The Honourable Jim Flaherty, Canadian Minister of Finance, made an announcement yesterday outlining proposed changes to the taxation of income trusts. In his announcement, Mr. Flaherty included a proposed tax on distributions paid on publicly traded income trusts and limited partnerships. As Pengrowth is an existing, publicly traded income trust these proposed changes would not affect Pengrowth until 2011. At this stage, this remains a proposal and would need to be approved by the Canadian government before becoming legislation. Pengrowth will continue to pay close attention to the government’s stance on taxing distributions from income trusts and any potential impact this may have on Pengrowth and its stakeholders.

The past quarter has been a period of significant growth and change for the trust with considerable challenges and opportunities evident ahead. Our skilled and experienced team of employees has increased substantially and along with our talented leadership team and Board of Directors, we remain dedicated to meeting these challenges head on and exploiting opportunities fully with innovative strategies focused on long term growth. I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to our team for their efforts thus far in 2006 and I look forward to continuing to work with them in striving towards providing unitholders with continued solid returns and superior value.

consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are made as of the date of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Pengrowth does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period then ended.
The amounts recorded for depletion, depreciation and amortization of injectants and the provision for asset retirement obligations are based on estimates. The ceiling test calculation is based on estimates of proved reserves, production rates, oil and natural gas prices, future costs and other relevant assumptions. As required by National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101), Pengrowth uses independent qualified reserve evaluators in the preparation of reserve evaluations. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in these estimates may impact the consolidated financial statements of future periods.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with GAAP in Canada or the United States. These measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other trusts or corporations. Measures such as funds generated from operations, distributable cash, distributable cash per trust unit, payout ratio and operating netbacks do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP. We discuss these measures because we believe that they facilitate the understanding of the results of our operations and financial position.
Conversion and Currency
When converting natural gas to equivalent barrels of oil within this discussion, Pengrowth uses the international standard of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil equivalent. Barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation; a conversion ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Production volumes, revenues and reserves are reported on a company interest gross basis (before royalties) in accordance with Canadian practice. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains no material amounts relating to the September 28, 2006 completed acquisition of assets in the Carson Creek area of Alberta, or the Esprit Energy Trust (Esprit) business combination completed on October 2, 2006.
Production
Average daily production for the third quarter of 2006 increased four percent from the second quarter of 2006. This increase is attributable primarily to improved volumes after the operational curtailments at the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) during the second quarter and new production from the Prespatou and heavy oil areas. Production for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 decreased marginally from the same periods in 2005 as additions from Judy Creek improved gas sales, the Dunvegan area acquisition and new production from development activities were not able to offset the Monterey Exploration Ltd. (Monterey) and other minor previously disclosed divestitures, the operational downtime at SOEP and natural production declines.
At this time, Pengrowth anticipates full year production of 62,500 to 63,500 boe per day, up from its previous production guidance of 56,000 to 57,500 boe per day. This estimate incorporates production additions from the Dunvegan and Carson Creek area acquisitions, the Esprit business combination and anticipated production additions from planned 2006 development activities. The above estimate excludes the impact from other future acquisitions or divestitures.

(BAR CHART)
Light crude oil production volumes for the third quarter of 2006 increased two percent from the second quarter of 2006, while in comparison to the third quarter of 2005, the production volumes were flat. For the first nine months of 2006 versus the same period in 2005, production increased minimally as improvements at Weyburn, Judy Creek and Swan Hills offset natural production declines.
Heavy oil production increased eight percent in the third quarter of 2006 from the second quarter of 2006 as new production from drilling at Bodo and Cactus Lake came on stream. The two percent decrease in production for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of 2005 is attributable to natural production declines. For the first nine months, production decreased 11 percent due to natural production declines.
Natural gas production for the third quarter of 2006 increased five percent from the second quarter of 2006. This increase is primarily due to new production from wells drilled in the Prespatou area and improved volumes after the operational curtailments at SOEP and the Hanlan turnaround during the second quarter. Production for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of 2005 decreased three percent. Additions from the Dunvegan area and Carson Creek acquisitions and new production from the Prespatou and Princess areas were more than offset by natural production declines and the Monterey and other minor previously disclosed divestments. For the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, production decreased by almost two percent. Additional production volumes from increased gas sales at Judy Creek due to lower residue gas solvent utilization, ongoing development activities, particularly the Prespatou and Princess drilling programs completed in the second half of 2005, and the Dunvegan area and Crispin acquisitions, were more than offset by SOEP operational downtime, the Monterey and other divestments, and natural production declines.
Natural gas liquids (NGLs) production for the third quarter of 2006 remained flat from the second quarter of 2006. In comparing the third quarter of 2006 to the same quarter of 2005, production increased nine percent primarily from acquisition activity. Production for the first nine months of 2006 increased three percent in comparison to the same period of 2005 due to the increased ownership in Swan Hills.
Pricing and Commodity Price Hedging
U.S. based prices for North American crude oil remained strong in the third quarter of 2006, but continued to be partially offset by the negative impact of the strong Canadian dollar. Natural gas prices in North America continued to decline in the third quarter of 2006 from the second quarter of 2006.

Starting in the second quarter of 2006, Pengrowth no longer adopted hedge accounting for any new hedges entered into. Pengrowth will recognize any changes to the fair value of commodity hedges entered into after the first quarter in the income statement.
Commodity price hedges in place at September 30, 2006 are provided in Note 11 to the Financial Statements. At September 30, 2006, the mark-to-market value of the fixed price financial sales contracts represented a potential gain of $15.0 million, which includes a $16.6 million gain year to date that has been recognized on the income statement. At September 30, 2005, the mark-to-market value of the fixed price financial sales contracts represented a potential loss of $64.2 million, none of which was recognized on the income statement.
In conjunction with the Murphy acquisition, which closed in 2004, Pengrowth assumed certain fixed price natural gas sales contracts and firm pipeline demand charge contracts. Under these contracts, Pengrowth is obligated to sell 3,886 mmbtu per day, until April 30, 2009 at an average remaining contract price of Cdn $2.31 per mmbtu. As required by GAAP, the fair value of the natural gas sales contract was recognized as a liability based on the mark-to-

market value at May 31, 2004. The liability at September 30, 2006 of $14.3 million for the contracts will continue to be drawn down and recognized in income as the contracts are settled. As this is a non-cash component of income, it is not included in the calculation of distributable cash. As at September 30, 2006, Pengrowth would be required to pay $17.8 million to terminate the fixed price physical sales contract. This amount is not included above in hedging losses (gains).

Royalties include crown, freehold and overriding royalties as well as mineral taxes. The royalty rate for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2006 increased by 4.1 percent. This was primarily due to a favorable adjustment of $5.0 million recorded in the second quarter for SOEP. SOEP has a five tier royalty regime based on gross revenue for the first three tiers and net revenue for the final two tiers. During 2005, the royalty obligation at SOEP was approximately two percent of gross revenue (Tier II) but progressed to five percent of gross revenue (Tier III) starting with October 2005 production. This was recognized in March 2006 when the annual royalty submission was filed. Based on Pengrowth’s forecast the royalty obligation is now in the fourth tier which is 30 percent of net revenue (gross revenue less certain capital and other costs associated with getting the gas and natural gas liquids to the project boundary) commencing with March 2006 production, which is later than previously estimated in the first quarter.

Operating expenses increased minimally in the third quarter of 2006 in comparison to the second quarter of 2006; while the expense per boe decreased as production volumes improved from the second quarter’s maintenance/turnaround activity. Increased utility costs and higher maintenance were the most significant reasons for the increase in expenses in comparing the first nine months of 2006 versus the same period in 2005. Operating expenses include costs incurred to earn processing and other income reported separately.

Pengrowth incurs transportation costs for its product once the product enters a feeder or main pipeline to the title transfer point. The transportation cost is dependant upon industry rates and distance the product flows on the pipeline prior to changing ownership or custody. Pengrowth has the option to sell some of its natural gas directly to premium markets outside of Alberta by incurring additional transportation costs. Prior to September 30, 2006, Pengrowth sold most of its natural gas without incurring significant additional transportation costs. Similarly, Pengrowth has elected to sell approximately 75 percent of its crude oil at market points beyond the wellhead, but at the first major trading point, requiring minimal transportation costs.

The cost of injectants (primarily natural gas and ethane) purchased for injection in miscible flood programs is amortized equally over the period of expected future economic benefit. Prior to 2005, the expected future economic benefit from injection was estimated at 30 months, based on the results of previous flood patterns. Commencing in 2005 the

response period for additional new patterns being developed is expected to be somewhat shorter relative to the historical miscible patterns in the project. Accordingly, the cost of injectants purchased in 2005 and 2006 will be amortized over a 24 month period while costs incurred for the purchase of injectants in prior periods will continue to be amortized over 30 months. During the third quarter of 2006, the balance of unamortized injectant costs decreased by $0.9 million to $35.2 million.
The value of Pengrowth’s proprietary injectants is not recorded until reproduced from the flood and sold, although the cost of producing these injectants is included in operating expenses. The cost of purchased injectants increased 18 percent in the third quarter of 2006 from the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to the increase in volume of injectants. The 14 percent increase in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter of 2005 is due to increased injection volumes. On a year to date basis, the 25 percent increase in purchased injectants is due to increased injection volumes and the price of injectants.
Operating Netbacks
There is no standardized measure of operating netbacks and therefore operating netbacks, as presented below may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Certain assumptions have been made in allocating operating expenses, other production income, other income and royalty injection credits between light crude, heavy oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production.
Pengrowth recorded an operating netback of $30.82 per boe (after hedging) in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $33.94 per boe (after hedging) for the same period in 2005, mainly due to lower average commodity prices, higher operating expenses and royalty expenses.

Other production income consists of sulphur sales and brokered sales and purchases. A prior period adjustment for brokered sales is included in the second quarter of 2006 while both the second and third quarter of 2006 include adjustments for brokered purchases.
Interest
Interest expense increased eight percent to $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 from $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate. Interest expense increased by $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to higher average interest rates.

Under the current management agreement, which came into effect July 1, 2003, the Manager will earn a performance fee if the Trust’s total returns exceed eight percent per annum on a three year rolling average basis. The maximum fees payable until June 30, 2006, including the performance fee, were limited to 80 percent of the fees plus expenses that would otherwise have been payable under the original management agreement that was effective prior to July 1, 2003. Commencing July 1, 2006, for the remaining three year term, the maximum fees payable are limited to 60 percent of the fees that would have been payable under the original agreement or $12 million, whichever is lower. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2009 and does not contain a further right of renewal.

Depletion and depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided on the unit of production method based on total proved reserves. The increase in the third quarter rates for both depletion and depreciation and accretion is due to the inclusion of the Carson Creek property.
Other Expenses
Other expenses, on a year to date basis, consist of costs related to the consolidation of Class A and Class B trust units ($2.7 million) and the Saskatchewan Resource Surcharge.
Taxes
In determining its taxable income, the Corporation deducts payments made to the Trust, effectively transferring the income tax liability to unitholders thus reducing taxable income to nil. Under the Corporation’s current distribution policy, funds are withheld from distributable cash to fund future capital expenditures and repay debt.
On October 31, 2006, the Federal Government announced it intends to remove certain deductions currently available to the Trust when calculating taxable income. While no specific legislation has been proposed making it difficult to fully assess the impact of the announcement, the intent of the proposal is to change Pengrowth’s taxability starting in 2011.
Capital Expenditures
During the first nine months of 2006, Pengrowth spent $179.0 million on development and optimization activities. The largest expenditures were at Judy Creek ($29.4 million), SOEP ($17.7 million), Quirk Creek ($11.0 million), West Pembina ($9.7 million), Bodo ($8.4 million), Weyburn ($8.2 million), Three Hills Creek ($7.1 million) and Prespatou ($6.6 million). Pengrowth engages in limited exploration activities and in the first nine months of 2006 most of the capital spent on development was directed towards increasing production and improving reserve recovery through infill drilling. An additional $528 million was incurred to complete the Carson Creek area, Dunvegan area and other acquisitions.

Pengrowth currently anticipates capital expenditures for maintenance and development of approximately $280 million for 2006, up from our previous guidance of $261 million. The increase from our previous guidance includes post acquisition capital expenditures primarily related to the Esprit business combination.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
On September 28, 2006, Pengrowth acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of a company which had interests in oil and natural gas assets in the Carson Creek area of Alberta and the adjacent Carson Creek Gas Plant for $475 million prior to adjustments. Goodwill of $133 million was determined based on the excess of the total consideration paid less the value assigned to the identifiable assets and liabilities including the future tax liability.
On March 30, 2006, Pengrowth closed the acquisition of an additional working interest in the Dunvegan area as well as some minor oil and gas properties in central Alberta for approximately $48 million.
On January 12, 2006, Pengrowth divested oil and gas properties for $22 million of cash, prior to adjustments, and approximately eight million shares in Monterey. Pengrowth holds approximately 34 percent of the common shares of Monterey.

The $97 million increase in the revolving credit facilities from December 31, 2005 is primarily due to capital expenditures, acquisitions, and the purchase of portfolio investments exceeding cash withholdings, proceeds from the Monterey transaction and net proceeds from the equity offering that closed September 28, 2006.
Pengrowth funds its capital expenditures through a combination of cash withholdings, available credit from its bank credit facilities and proceeds from exercise of trust unit rights and the distribution reinvestment plan. The credit facility and other sources of cash are expected to be sufficient to meet Pengrowth’s near term capital requirements and provide the flexibility to pursue profitable growth opportunities. A significant decline in oil and natural gas prices could impact our access to bank credit facilities and our ability to fund operations and maintain distributions.
At September 30, 2006, Pengrowth maintained a $500 million term credit facility and a $35 million demand operating line of credit. These facilities were reduced by drawings of $132 million and by $17 million in letters of credit outstanding at period end. Pengrowth remains well positioned to fund its 2006 development program and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they arise. At September 30, 2006, Pengrowth had $387 million available to draw from its credit facilities. On October 2, 2006, concurrent with the closing of the business combination with Esprit, Pengrowth increased its term credit facility to $950 million. A total of $315 million was used to repay and cancel Esprit’s credit facility. On October 2, 2006, Pengrowth had over $500 million available to draw from its credit facilities after the increase to its credit facility and repayment of Esprit’s facility.
Pengrowth does not have any off balance sheet financing arrangements.

 


 

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 17 -
Pengrowth’s U.S. $200 million senior unsecured notes, Pound sterling denominated £50 million senior unsecured notes, and the revolving credit facilities have certain financial covenants which may restrict the total amount of Pengrowth’s borrowings. The financial covenants are different between the revolving credit facilities and the senior unsecured notes and some of the covenants are summarized below:
  1.   Total senior debt should not be greater than three times Earnings Before Income Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for the last four fiscal quarters
 
  2.   Total debt should not be greater than 3.5 times EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters
 
  3.   Total senior debt should be less than 50% of total book capitalization
 
  4.   EBITDA should not be less than four times interest expense
In the event that Pengrowth enters into a significant acquisition, certain credit facility financial covenants are relaxed for two fiscal quarters after the close of the acquisition.
The actual loan documents are filed on SEDAR as Other Material Contracts. As at September 30, 2006, Pengrowth was in compliance with all its financial covenants. In the event that Pengrowth was not in compliance with any of the financial covenants in its credit facility or senior unsecured notes, Pengrowth would be in default of that specific debt and would have to repay the debt, refinance the debt or negotiate new terms with the debt holders and may have to suspend distributions to unitholders.
On November 1, 2006, Pengrowth announced its offer to purchase all of the outstanding 6.5 percent convertible extendible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”). Approximately $95.8 million of Debentures remained outstanding at September 30, 2006. Following the completion of the business combination with Esprit on October 2, 2006, Pengrowth assumed all the covenants and obligations of Esprit under its Debenture Indenture providing for the issuance of the Debentures. Pursuant to the change of control provisions in the Debenture Indenture, Pengrowth is required within 30 days of such change of control, to make an offer to purchase all the outstanding Debentures at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

There is no standardized measure of distributable cash and therefore distributable cash, as reported by Pengrowth, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other trusts.

Distributable cash is derived from producing and selling oil, natural gas and related products. As such, distributable cash is highly dependent on commodity prices. From time to time, Pengrowth enters into forward commodity contracts to fix the commodity price and mitigate price volatility. Details of commodity contracts are contained in Note 11 to the September 30, 2006 Financial Statements.
The Board of Directors and Management regularly monitor forecasted distributable cash and payout ratio. The Board considers a number of factors, including expectations of future commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements,

 


 

- 18 - PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST
and the availability of debt and equity capital. Pursuant to the Royalty Indenture, the Board can establish a reserve for certain items including up to 20 percent of Gross Revenue to fund various costs including future capital expenditures, royalty income in any future period and future abandonment costs.
Cash distributions are paid to unitholders on the 15th day of the second month following the month of production. Pengrowth paid $0.75 per trust unit as cash distributions during the third quarter of 2006.

Taxability of Distributions
At this time, Pengrowth anticipates that approximately 75 to 80 percent of 2006 distributions will be taxable to Canadian residents. This estimate is subject to change depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the level of commodity prices, acquisitions, dispositions, and new equity offerings.
The following discussion relates to the taxation of Canadian unitholders only. For detailed tax information relating to non-residents, please refer to our website www.pengrowth.com. Cash distributions are comprised of a return of capital portion, which is tax deferred, and return on capital portion which is taxable income. The return of capital portion reduces the cost base of a unitholders trust units for purposes of calculating a capital gain or loss upon ultimate disposition.

Subsequent Events
On October 2, 2006 Pengrowth and Esprit completed the previously announced business combination of Pengrowth and Esprit (the “Combination”). Under the terms of the agreement, each Esprit trust unit was exchanged for 0.53 of a Pengrowth trust unit (the new trust units from the consolidation of Pengrowth’s Class A and Class B trust units effective on July 27, 2006). The Combination was approved by in excess of 99 percent of the votes cast at the Esprit unitholder meeting held on September 26, 2006. As a result of the Combination, approximately 35,514,327 Pengrowth trust units were issued to Esprit unitholders, including 789,170 Pengrowth trust units issued to the Corporation which were exchanged with and immediately cancelled by Pengrowth.
On October 27, 2006 Pengrowth entered into an exclusivity agreement with a third party with respect to a possible significant asset acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, Pengrowth has made a $30 million payment as an exclusivity fee. If Pengrowth chooses not to proceed, the $30 million is not refundable. If the vendor chooses not to proceed, the $30 million is refundable. Pengrowth is now in the process of determining whether it will proceed in light of a variety of considerations, including the recent Federal Government announcement on taxability of Trusts. Pengrowth has no information as to whether the vendor will proceed.

Subsequent to September 30, 2006, Pengrowth has entered into a series of fixed price commodity sales contracts with third parties. The effect of these contracts is to fix the price received in 2007 for approximately 15,860 boe per day. Including contracts entered into prior to the third quarter, the total volumes subject to fixed price commodity sales contracts is approximately 21,530 boe per day for the majority of 2007.
Outlook
At this time, Pengrowth anticipates full year production of 62,500 to 63,500 boe per day, up from its previous production guidance of 56,000 to 57,500 boe per day. The increase in estimated production is mainly as a result of the Carson Creek area and the Esprit acquisitions. The fourth quarter production is estimated at 79,000 boe per day. This two percent decrease relative to our previous 81,000 boe per day estimate at acquisition is due to a combination of temporary third-party facility restrictions at Willesden Green and Three Hills; on-going well remediation and optimization work in Carson Creek; and weather-related delays in drilling and tie-ins across most areas. Offsetting the additions from acquisitions and planned 2006 development activities are the Monterey and other minor previously disclosed divestitures and expected production declines from normal operations. The above estimate excludes the impact from other future acquisitions or divestitures.
Pengrowth expects to increase its total operating expenses for 2006 to approximately $245 million, up from its previous guidance of $220 million as a result of the Esprit strategic business combination and the Carson Creek area acquisition. Assuming Pengrowth’s average production results for 2006 are as forecast above, Pengrowth now estimates 2006 operating expenses per boe of between $10.55 and $10.75 and combined G&A and management fees of approximately $2.30 to $2.40 per boe.
Pengrowth currently anticipates capital expenditures for maintenance and development of approximately $280 million for 2006, up from our previous guidance of $261 million. The increase from our previous guidance includes post acquisition capital expenditures primarily related to the Esprit business combination.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Office, James Kinnear, and the Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Webster, have evaluated Pengrowth’s disclosure controls and procedures for the period ending September 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, there has not been any change in the company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Pengrowth’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Operations Review
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
(All volumes stated below are net to Pengrowth unless otherwise stated)
In addition to the acquisitions announced in the third quarter, Pengrowth remained focused on developing internal opportunities. Development capital in the quarter totaled $56.8 million with approximately 75 percent directed towards drilling and completions. During the quarter, Pengrowth drilled 93 gross (43.7 net) wells with a 94 percent success rate.
NORTHEAST BRITISH COLUMBIA (NEBC) / NORTHWEST ALBERTA
    A farmout well was drilled at Grand Prairie and is currently undergoing production testing.
 
    At Cutbank, three non-operated wells were drilled and are on production at a combined initial rate of 5.1mmcf per day. Four additional wells are planned for the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
    Two successful oil wells were drilled at Rigel adding 210 bbls per day.
 
    Devon, the operator of the Dunvegan Gas Unit, drilled five successful gas wells that are expected to be tied in during the fourth quarter.
 
    Monterey drilled eight wells in the quarter with Pengrowth participating in seven of those wells. This resulted in four gas wells, one suspended well and two dry holes. Tie in of the gas wells is expected during the fourth quarter of this year.

CENTRAL
    During the quarter, 13 wells were drilled at the Weyburn Unit bringing the total number of wells drilled at the property in 2006 to 38. An additional 13 to 17 wells are expected to be drilled before year end. The 2006 drilling program has been very successful adding 9,397 bbls per day (917 bbls per day net) of incremental production.
 
    At Swan Hills, the last well in a four well program was drilled during the third quarter. Three of the four wells averaged 510 bbls per day (114 bbls per day net) of production. The fourth well of the 2006 program is expected to commence production in the fourth quarter of 2006. Work is underway on the development of two new miscible patterns including the drilling of a new injection well to support solvent injection which will also commence in the upcoming quarter.
 
    Tie in work on three new West Pembina wells was completed and incremental production of 2.6 mmcf per day was realized. One non-operated well (50 percent working interest) was drilled and cased in the quarter at West Pembina.
 
    An infill oil producer at Judy Creek which was rig released in the second quarter of 2006 was brought on production in the third quarter and has a current oil rate of 95 bbls per day.
 
    Power interruptions due to severe lightning storms in August resulted in electrical operational problems and 13 days of reduced production at Judy Creek of approximately 400 bbls of oil per day.

    In the Twining area, completions on the 11 wells of phase one of the coalbed methane (CBM) program were completed in the third quarter. Five of the 11 wells were tied in and began production during the quarter.
 
    A 50 well CBM program (Phase 2) commenced with the drilling of 10 wells (average working interest of 61 percent) in the third quarter.
CBM PHASE 2
(PICTURE)
    Partners drilled 17 wells of which 15 are expected to be completed for CBM production. The remaining two wells are anticipated to be on stream in the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
    Pengrowth drilled, completed and tied in 16 wells (100 percent working interest) at Princess in the third quarter targeting shallow gas.
 
    Two wells (100 percent working interest) were drilled and cased at Elnora and Trochu. Testing is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
    A Pekisko gas well in the Twining Unit (88 percent working interest) was successfully tested at 0.71 mmcf per day.
 
    At Monogram, a 70 well re-frac program was completed adding 1.75 mmcf per day (0.94 mmcf per day net) of incremental production.
 
    Production testing of the new Quirk Creek gas well (68 percent working interest) was completed in the third quarter. It commenced production in October at approximately 5 mmcf per day (3.4 mmcf per day net).
 
    At Mikwan/Three Hills, four Belly River and Mannville conventional wells were drilled and completed and all tested gas.

SABLE OFFSHORE ENERGY PROJECT (SOEP)
     Production
    Third quarter gross raw gas production from the five SOEP fields Thebaud, Venture, North Triumph, Alma and South Venture averaged 416 mmcf per day (35 mmcf per day net).
 
    Monthly raw gas production for July, August and September was 433 mmcf per day (36.4 mmcf per day net); 427 mmcf per day (35.9 mmcf per day net); and 387 mmcf per day (32.5 mmcf per day net), respectively.
 
    Production was reduced in the third quarter due to a required September shutdown in order to test the compression control systems and complete final tie ins.
 
    Pengrowth shipped approximately 67,000 bbls of condensate in the third quarter.
 
    A condensate cargo expected for late September was moved to early October.
     Tier II Status as of September 30, 2006
    Shutdown to test compression computer and instrumentation systems started on September 20, 2006.
 
    Modifications to the Goldboro gas plant were also made during the shutdown.
 
    In-service for the compressor is scheduled for late 2006.

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 27 -
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
    (Unaudited)
September 30, 2006
 
    (Tabular dollar amounts are stated in thousands of dollars except per trust unit amounts)
 
1   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The interim consolidated financial statements of Pengrowth Energy Trust include the accounts of Pengrowth Energy Trust (the “Trust”), Pengrowth Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Pengrowth”). The financial statements do not contain the accounts of Pengrowth Management Limited (the “Manager”).
 
    The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, except as discussed below. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Pengrowth’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    Effective May 1, 2006, Pengrowth no longer designates new commodity contracts as hedges. Commodity contracts that do not qualify as hedges, or are not designated as hedges, are recorded using the fair value method of accounting whereby instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. Realized gains or losses from financial derivatives related to commodity prices are recognized in natural gas and crude oil revenues as the related sales occur. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in expenses at the end of each respective reporting period. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices or, in its absence, estimated using third party market indications and forecasts.
 
    Commodity contracts are used by Pengrowth to manage economic exposure to market risks relating to commodity prices. Pengrowth’s policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
 
    Financial derivative contracts previously designated as hedges continue to be designated as hedges and are accounted for as disclosed in the annual financial statements.

- 28 - PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST
    On June 16, 2006, Pengrowth entered into a new $500 million extendible revolving term credit facility syndicated among eight financial institutions. The facility is unsecured, covenant based and has a three year term. Pengrowth has the option to extend the facility each year, subject to the approval of the lenders, or repay the entire balance at the end of the three year term. Various borrowing options are available under the facility including prime rate based advances and bankers’ acceptance loans. This facility carries floating interest rates that are expected to range between 0.65 percent and 1.15 percent over bankers’ acceptance rates, depending on Pengrowth’s consolidated ratio of senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes and non-cash items. In addition, Pengrowth has a $35 million demand operating line of credit for working capital purposes. The facilities were reduced by drawings of $132 million and by outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $17 million at September 30, 2006.
 
    On October 2, 2006, concurrent with the closing of the business combination with Esprit Energy Trust (Esprit), Pengrowth increased its extendible revolving credit facility to $950,000,000 and added two new financial institutions into the syndicate. No other material changes were made to the credit facility. $315 million of the increase was used to repay and cancel Esprit’s credit facility, leaving over $500 million available to draw from the credit facility.
 
3.   CORPORATE ACQUISITION
 
    On September 28, 2006, Pengrowth acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of a company which has interests in oil and natural gas assets in the Carson Creek area of Alberta (the “Carson Creek” acquisition). The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with the allocation of the purchase price and consideration paid as follows:
         
Allocation of purchase price:
       
Property, plant and equipment
  $ 502,270  
Goodwill
    132,831  
Asset retirement obligations
    (38,874 )
Future income taxes
    (120,610 )
 
 
  $ 475,617  
 
 
       
Cost of Acquisition:
       
Cash
  $ 475,558  
Acquisition costs
    59  
 
 
  $ 475,617  
 
    Property, plant and equipment of $502 million represents the fair value of the assets acquired determined in part by an independent reserve evaluation. Goodwill of $133 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes, was determined based on the excess of the total consideration paid less the value assigned to the identifiable assets and liabilities including the future tax liability.
 
    The future income tax liability was determined based on the enacted income tax rate of approximately 29 percent. The asset retirement obligations were determined using Pengrowth’s estimated costs to remediate, reclaim and abandon the wells and facilities, the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods, an inflation rate of two percent, and a discount rate of eight percent.
 
    Results of operations from the Carson Creek acquisition subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the consolidated financial statements. Final determination of the cost of the acquisition and the allocation thereof to the fair values of the Carson Creek assets is still pending.

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 29 -
    INVESTMENT IN ESPRIT ENERGY TRUST
 
    On July 24, 2006, Pengrowth announced an agreement providing for the combination of Pengrowth and Esprit (See Note 13). As at September 30, 2006, Pengrowth held 1,489,000 Esprit trust units with a market value of approximately $17.3 million. The investment is accounted for at cost. Distributions earned on the Esprit trust units of $1.4 million are recorded in other income, as received. On October 2, 2006, in connection with the business combination with Esprit, the Corporation received 789,170 Pengrowth trust units which were exchanged with and immediately cancelled by Pengrowth.
 
    EQUITY INVESTMENTS
 
    On January 12, 2006 Pengrowth closed certain transactions with Monterey Exploration Ltd. (Monterey) under which Pengrowth has sold certain oil and gas properties for $22 million in cash, less closing adjustments, and 8,048,132 common shares of Monterey. As of September 30, 2006, Pengrowth held approximately 34 percent of the common shares of Monterey.
 
    Pengrowth utilizes the equity method of accounting for the investment in Monterey. The investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter to include Pengrowth’s pro rata share of post-acquisition earnings of Monterey. Any dividends received or receivable from Monterey would reduce the carrying value of the investment.

Class A Trust Unit and Class B Trust Unit Consolidation
On June 23, 2006 the Pengrowth unitholders voted to consolidate the Class A trust units and Class B trust units into one class of trust units (“consolidated” trust units). As a result:
Effective as of 5:00 p.m. (MDT) on June 27, 2006, the restrictions on the Class B trust units that provided that the Class B trust units may only be held by residents of Canada was eliminated.
Effective as of 5:00 p.m. (MDT) on July 27, 2006;
    the Class A trust units were delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (effective as of the close of markets);
 
    the Class B trust units were renamed consolidated trust units and the trading symbol of the consolidated trust units was changed from PGF.B to PGF.UN;
 
    all of the issued and outstanding Class A trust units were converted into consolidated trust units on the basis of one consolidated trust unit for each whole Class A trust unit previously held (with the exception of Class A trust units held by residents of Canada who have provided a residency declaration to the Trustee);
 
    the consolidated trust units were substitutionally listed in place of the Class A trust units on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PGH; and
 
    the unclassified trust units were converted into consolidated trust units on the basis of one consolidated trust unit for each unclassified trust unit held.
Per Trust Unit Amounts
The per trust unit amounts of net income are based on the following weighted average trust units outstanding for the period. The weighted average trust units outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were 161,502,209 trust units (September 30, 2005 — 158,789,481 trust units) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were 160,752,712 trust units (September 30, 2005 — 156,318,245). In computing diluted net income per trust unit, 670,218 trust units were added to the weighted average number of trust units outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2006 (September 30, 2005 — 507,494 trust units) and 647,654 trust units were added to the weighted average number of trust units outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (September 30, 2005 — 502,233) for the dilutive effect of trust unit options, rights and deferred entitlement trust units (DEU’s). For the three months ended September 30, 2006, no anti-dilutive options, rights or DEU’s (September 30, 2005 — 10,140) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 no anti-dilutive options, rights or DEU’s (September 30, 2005 — 549,284), were excluded from the diluted net income per trust unit calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive.

    Pengrowth is obligated by virtue of its Royalty and Trust Indentures to distribute to unitholders a significant portion of its cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations typically exceeds net income as a result of non-cash expenses such as depletion, depreciation and accretion. These non-cash expenses result in a deficit being recorded despite Pengrowth distributing less than its cash flow from operations.
 
6.   TRUST UNIT BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
 
    Trust Unit Option Plan
 
    As at September 30, 2006, options to purchase 109,323 trust units were outstanding (December 31, 2005 — 259,317 Class B trust units) that expire at various dates to June 28, 2009. All outstanding trust unit options were fully expensed by December 31, 2004.

    Compensation expense associated with the trust unit rights granted during 2006 was based on the estimated fair value of $1.87 per trust unit right. The fair value of trust unit rights granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was estimated at eight percent of the exercise price at the date of grant using a binomial lattice option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 4.1 percent, volatility of 19 percent and reductions in the exercise price over the life of the trust unit rights. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compensation expense of $1,056,000 (September 30, 2005 — $1,308,000) related to the trust unit rights was recorded.

    Trust Unit Award Plans
 
    Pengrowth has an incentive plan to reward and retain employees whereby trust units and, in some cases trust units and cash, are awarded to eligible employees. Employees will receive the trust units and cash on or about July 1, 2007. Pengrowth acquired the trust units to be awarded on the open market for $5.1 million and placed them in a trust account established for the benefit of the eligible employees. The cost to acquire the trust units has been recorded as deferred compensation expense and is being charged monthly to net income on a straight line basis. The cash portion of the incentive plan of approximately $1.1 million is being accrued monthly.
 
    During the three months ended September 30, 2006, $0.7 million has been charged to net income and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, $4.2 million has been charged to net income.

11.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    Pengrowth has a price risk management program whereby the commodity price associated with a portion of its future production is fixed. Pengrowth sells forward a portion of its future production through a combination of fixed price sales contracts with customers and commodity swap agreements with financial counterparties. The forward and futures contracts are subject to market risk from fluctuating commodity prices and exchange rates.

12.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
    On October 2, 2006 Pengrowth and Esprit announced the completion of the previously announced business combination. The combination was approved by in excess of 99 percent of the votes cast at the Esprit unitholder meeting held on September 26, 2006. As a result of the combination, approximately 35,514,327 Pengrowth trust units were issued to Esprit unitholders, including 789,170 Pengrowth trust units issued to the Corporation which were exchanged with and immediately cancelled by Pengrowth.
 
    On October 2, 2006, concurrent with the closing of the business combination with Esprit, Pengrowth increased its extendible revolving credit facility to $950,000,000 and added two new financial institutions into the syndicate. No other material changes were made to the credit facility. $315 million of the increase was used to repay and cancel Esprit’s credit facility, leaving over $500 million available to draw from the credit facility.
 
    On October 27, 2006, Pengrowth entered into an exclusivity agreement with a third party with respect to a possible significant asset acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, Pengrowth has made a $30 million payment as an exclusivity fee. If Pengrowth chooses not to proceed, the $30 million is not refundable. If the vendor chooses not to proceed, the $30 million is refundable. Pengrowth is now in the process of determining whether it will proceed in light of a variety of considerations, including the recent Federal Government announcement on taxability of Trusts. Pengrowth has no information as to whether the vendor will proceed.

 


 

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 37 -
    Subsequent to September 30, 2006, Pengrowth has entered into a series of fixed price commodity sales contracts with third parties. The effect of theses contracts is to fix the price received in 2007 for approximately 15,860 boe per day. The forward and futures contracts are subject to market risk from fluctuating commodity prices and exchange rates.
 
    Pengrowth had fixed the price and will recognize the mark-to-market loss on future production in future periods as follows:
    Crude Oil:
