On May 31, 2004 Pengrowth acquired certain oil and natural gas assets in Alberta and Saskatchewan (the Murphy
Assets) from a subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation (Murphy) for a purchase price of Cdn $550.5 million. Net
production revenue from the Murphy Assets for the month of June was reflected in second quarter 2004 results.
Distributable cash for the second quarter 2004 increased 7% to $89.1
million from $83.6 in the first quarter as the result of continued strength
in commodity prices and the inclusion of production volumes associated with
the Murphy Assets for the month of June. Year-to-date 2004 distributable
cash reached $172.7 million versus $169.0 million during the same period in
2003. Actual cash distributions in respect of the second quarter 2004 and on
a year to date basis were $0.64 per unit and $1.27 per unit respectively. At
the end of the second quarter approximately $3 million remained available
for distribution in future months over the 10% holdback.
On July 22, 2004 Pengrowth announced a 5% increase in the monthly
distribution to $0.22 per unit after 13 consecutive months of
maintaining a $0.21 per unit distribution. The increased distribution
will be payable to unitholders on August 15, 2004.
During the period Pengrowth issued $325 million of new debt to fund the
Murphy acquisition. Pengrowths debt at June 30, 2004 was $591.8 million.
Total daily production for the second quarter 2004 averaged 51,451
barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), an increase of 5% over the same
period last year. Total production increased 5% year over year to 4.68
million boe from 4.44 million boe.
With the addition of the new Murphy Assets, Pengrowth now anticipates daily
average production of approximately 53,000 to 54,000 boepd for the full
year 2004.
Second quarter operating results benefited from continued strength in all
commodity prices with Pengrowth realizing an average price of $41.36 per
boe in 2004 compared to $38.08 in the same period of 2003, an increase of
9%.
During the second quarter 2004, Pengrowth unitholders approved the
reclassification of trust units into Class A and Class B trust units. The
reclassification will enable Pengrowth to manage the level of foreign
ownership in the trust to meet the requirements of being a Mutual Fund
Trust; will help maintain the long-term integrity of the markets for
Pengrowth units; and will permit Pengrowth to pursue equity markets in
Canada and internationally. Subsequent to quarter end, Pengrowth announced
that the implementation of the trust unit reclassification would occur on July 27,
2004.

PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 3 -
Presidents Message
Pengrowth is pleased to present the unaudited results for the three months and six month ended June 30, 2004.
Pengrowth unitholders enjoyed another strong quarter on the heels of solid first quarter results. Managements commitment to enhancing unitholder value was further evidenced by the acquisition of oil and gas producing properties (the Murphy Assets) from a subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation which closed on May 31, 2004.
The Murphy assets are expected to be accretive to unitholders on virtually every significant metric, including reserves, production and distributable cash per unit. The acquisition adds a new dimension to Pengrowths asset mix with its broad portfolio of properties, while also providing significant development potential. Production is comprised of approximately 50% natural gas, 40% heavy oil and 10% light/medium crude oil and Natural Gas Liquids. With the additional production from the Murphy Assets, Pengrowth now expects 2004 daily average production of between 53,000 and 54,000 boepd.
The benefits of both the contribution of one months production from the Murphy Assets and the continued strength in commodity prices during second quarter 2004 generated a 24% increase in distributable cash year over year. Unitholders have enjoyed enhanced stability in their monthly distributions, having received 13 consecutive months of distributions at Cdn $0.21 per unit. Subsequent to quarter end, Pengrowth announced a 5% increase in the August 15, 2004 distribution to Cdn $0.22 per unit, which partially reflects the upside associated with the acquisition of the Murphy Assets. Pengrowth has also retained approximately $3 million in additional funds which is available for future distributions.
Subsequent to the second quarter 2004, Pengrowth took steps to address the issue of international ownership of the trust with the reclassification of trust units into Class A and Class B trust units. The equity capital reorganization had received strong unitholder approval at the Annual General Meeting on April 22, 2004.
The reclassification of trust units will enable the trust to protect its status as a Mutual Trust Fund under the Income Tax Act (Canada) which requires the trust to maintain a majority Canadian ownership of its units. The two classes of units are economically equivalent in all respects, including the entitlement to cash distributions, participation in the underlying assets and voting rights with the main difference being that Class B trust units can only be held by Canadian residents. The number of issued and outstanding Class A trust units are restricted to 99% of the number of Class B trust units issued and outstanding, with the exception of the implementation period. Going forward this will provide Pengrowth with an important mechanism to manage foreign ownership levels. The reclassification will also allow Pengrowth to offer future equity issues in both classes of units and preserve the integrity of the markets for Pengrowth units.
Currently Pengrowth estimates that approximately 57% of trust units are held by non-Canadian residents. The trust is committed to meeting the ownership threshold and intends to be in compliance with majority Canadian ownership by December 31, 2004. Both Pengrowth management and the board are assessing various actions as outlined in the March 15, 2004 Information Circular and will determine its courses of action shortly.
The first six months of 2004 were both exciting and challenging for Pengrowths leadership team, board of directors and team members and I would like to express a note of thanks for their efforts. We look forward to the second half of 2004 and will continue to strive forward with our mandate to provide exceptional growth and value to unitholders.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis of financial results should be read in conjunction with:
| The MD&A and the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002; and | |||
| The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2004. |
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential, continue, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. A number of factors, including the business risks discussed below, may cause actual results to vary materially from these estimates. Actual events or results may differ materially. In addition, this discussion contains forward-looking statements attributed to third party industry sources. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
When converting natural gas to equivalent barrels of oil within this discussion, Pengrowth uses the international standard of 6 thousand cubic feet (mcf) to one barrel of oil equivalent (boe). BOEs may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. Production volumes and revenues are reported on a gross basis (before crown and freehold royalties) in accordance with Canadian practice. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Overview
During the second quarter, Pengrowth successfully completed an acquisition of oil and gas properties in Alberta and Saskatchewan (the Murphy Assets) from a subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation (Murphy) for $550.5 million. This acquisition added estimated proved plus probable reserves of 48.7 million boe, an increase of approximately 27% to Pengrowths reserve base. The acquisition, which closed on May 31, 2004, was pre-funded in part by $190 million net proceeds from an equity issue completed on March 23, 2004.
Continued strength in commodity prices, and one months production from the Murphy Assets had a favourable impact on 2004 second quarter results. A full three months contribution from the Murphy Assets will be reflected in the third quarter which is expected to result in higher distributable cash over the remainder of 2004.
Subsequent to quarter end 2004, Pengrowth announced that the reclassification of Pengrowth Energy Trust units as Class A and Class B trust units would be implemented effective July 27, 2004. On July 27, 2004, generally, each Canadian unitholder will have the trust units held by them reclassified as Class B trust units. Each unitholder who is not a Canadian unitholder will have the trust units held by them reclassified as Class B trust units and then immediately converted into Class A trust units. The Class B trust units will trade solely on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Class A trust units will trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. See Note 14 to the June 30, 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
The directors of Pengrowth resolved to proceed with the Class A and Class B trust unit reclassification based upon a combination of communications from the Department of Finance, opinions from tax counsel and an advance tax ruling from Canada Revenue Agency in respect to the implementation of the Class A and Class B trust unit reclassification.
Distributable Cash
Distributable cash increased by 24% to $89.1 million for the second quarter of 2004, from $71.8 million in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Pengrowth recorded $172.7 million in distributable cash compared to $169.0 million in the first six months of 2003. Actual cash distributions paid or declared in respect of the results for the second quarter 2004 were $0.64 per unit and $1.27 per unit on a year to date basis. An additional $19.2 million earned in the first half of 2004 was withheld to repay indebtedness or fund capital expenditures. A balance of $3.0 million earned in the first half will be distributed to unitholders in future months.

Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2004 was $32.7 million compared to $54.2 million for the previous year. For the first six months of 2004 Pengrowth recorded net income of $71.3 million, compared to $117.1 million for the previous year. The decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same periods last year is due mainly to the unrealized foreign exchange gain that was recorded in 2003, as a result of the impact of the change in the U.S.$/Cdn$ exchange rate on Pengrowths U.S. dollar denominated debt. Hedging losses and an increase in depletion and depreciation in 2004 also contributed to lower reported net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods last year.
Production
Second quarter 2004 production of 51,451 boepd was 5% higher than the second quarter of 2003, due to additional production in June 2004 from the Murphy Assets and the impact of development activities, which helped offset production declines over the past year. On a year to date basis, production for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 2% lower than the same period last year. Second quarter 2004 production was negatively impacted by a forest fire at Judy Creek, which resulted in approximately 13,000 boepd of Judy Creek and Swan Hills production being shut in for 3 days. Plant turnarounds during the second quarter also reduced production volumes from Judy Creek and Quirk Creek. The decline in production due to these factors more than offset the positive impact on second quarter production of one additional condensate shipment (approximately 64,000 barrels) from the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP).

Light oil production volumes decreased 11% in the second quarter, and 12% for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same periods last year. Production from the Murphy Assets and continued development activities over the past year have helped offset natural production declines.
Heavy oil production comes from the newly acquired Murphy Assets, including working interests in Tangleflags and Bodo.
Natural gas production increased 14% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 and increased by 6% on a year to date basis. Additional gas volumes from the Murphy Assets, as well as incremental volumes from development activities mitigated the impact of natural production declines.
Natural gas liquids (NGL) production increased by 11% in the second quarter of 2004 over the second quarter of 2003 but on a year to date basis NGL production decreased by 7% compared to last year. The fluctuation in NGL sales from quarter to quarter is due mainly to the timing of condensate sales from SOEP. Two condensate shipments were made in the second quarter of 2004, totaling approximately 124,000 barrels, compared to 47,000 barrels in the same period last year. At this time, Pengrowth anticipates only one additional condensate shipment from SOEP in 2004, during the fourth quarter.
Prices
Pengrowths average commodity price realized for the second quarter of 2004 was 9% higher than the second quarter of 2003, and on a year to date basis, the average price realized for the first half of 2004 was 2% lower than the prior year.

Pengrowths average realized light oil price increased 5% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2004, Pengrowths average crude oil price was 3% lower than the same period last year. Although the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark price increased 17% in the first half of 2004 compared to the same period last year, the decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, the widening of the sweet oil differential at Edmonton and the impact of increased hedging losses in 2004 more than offset this increase in WTI.
PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST -7-
Pengrowths average natural gas price for the second quarter of 2004 increased by 12% over prices realized in the second quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2004 prices decreased by 1% to $6.96 per mcf compared to $7.05 per mcf over the same period last year. By comparison, the AECO and Nymex average prices decreased by 10% and 3% respectively in the first six months of 2004 as compared to the same period last year. A reduction of hedging losses in 2004 as compared to 2003 accounts for the lower year over year decline in Pengrowths average realized natural gas price, relative to the AECO and Nymex indices.
Price Risk Management Program
Pengrowth uses forward and futures contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, and to provide a measure of stability to monthly cash distributions.
In the second quarter of 2004, Pengrowth realized a net hedging loss of $2.8 million ($0.23 per mcf) related to natural gas financial swap contracts, compared to a net hedging loss of $3.5 million ($0.32 per mcf) for the same period last year. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss on natural gas of $7.5 million ($0.33 per mcf) in the first six months of 2004, compared to a net hedging loss of $15.0 million ($0.69 per mcf) for the same period last year.
With the continued strength in crude prices in the second quarter, Pengrowth realized a net hedging loss of $12.8 million ($6.72 per bbl) on light crude oil price swap transactions, compared to a gain of $1.1 million ($0.52 per bbl) in the second quarter of 2003. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss on light crude oil swaps of $19.9 million ($5.15 per bbl) in the first six months of 2004, compared to an $8.0 million ($1.83 per bbl) net loss in the first half of 2003.
In conjunction with the acquisition of the Murphy Assets on May 31, 2004, Pengrowth assumed a fixed price natural gas sales contract. Under the contract, Pengrowth is obligated to sell 3,886 mcf per day, until April 30, 2009 at an average contract price of Cdn $2.27 per mcf. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value of the contract was recognized as a liability ($21.8 million) based on the mark-to-market value at May 31, 2004. This liability will be drawn down and recognized in income as the contract is settled. As this is a non-cash component of income, it will not be included in the calculation of distributable cash.
Pengrowth currently has 10,500 barrels per day of crude oil hedged for the remainder of 2004 at an average price of Cdn $38.78 per barrel. Western gas production of 3,317 mcf per day is hedged at an average price of Cdn $7.58 per mcf, and 19,500 mmbtu of Eastern gas is hedged at an average price of Cdn$7.51 per mmbtu for the remainder of 2004. Further details of Pengrowths commodity hedges are provided in Note 12 to the financial statements.
At June 30, 2004, the mark-to-market value of Pengrowths commodity hedges was negative $26.7 million consisting of a loss of $8.1 million on natural gas contracts and $18.6 million for crude oil.
Royalties
Royalties, including crown and freehold royalties, were 16.0% of oil and gas sales in the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 18.8 % in 2003. For the six month period, royalties were 15.4% and 17.9% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The average royalty rate has decreased year over year at some of Pengrowths crude oil properties including Rigel, Squirrel and Nipisi, due to lower production volumes. Low productivity wells generally attract significantly lower crown royalty rates, and as production declines at some of these major oil producing properties, there are more wells producing at these lower rates. Royalties were also lower at Weyburn in 2004 due to expansion of the CO2 miscible flood program, which enjoys lower initial royalty rates for qualifying wells.
Operating Costs
Operating costs were $38.8 million (or $8.29 per boe) for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $34.7 million (or $7.80 per boe) for the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating costs were $70.0 million ($7.92 per boe),
-8- PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST
compared to $74.1 million ($8.22 per boe) for the first half of 2003. Second quarter operating costs reflect the addition of the Murphy Assets for one month. Excluding the impact of the Murphy Assets second quarter operating expenses were higher than first quarter 2004 by approximately $4.8 million due to a number of factors including annual plant turnaround costs at Judy Creek and Quirk Creek, property tax and power adjustments, well workover costs at Judy Creek and compressor related costs at SOEP. On a year to date basis, operating costs are lower than the prior year due mainly to the purchase of the Sable facilities in May and December of 2003 which reduced operating costs on a year over year basis by approximately $11.5 million, offset in part by additional costs from the Murphy Assets, and some incremental second quarter 2004 costs as discussed above.
Injectants for miscible floods
During the second quarter of 2004, Pengrowth purchased $1.9 million of injectants and amortized a related $4.8 million against second quarter income and distributable cash, compared to $5.3 million and $9.0 million respectively in the second quarter of 2003. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has purchased $9.2 million of injectants and amortized $10.0 million, compared to $14.8 million and $18.9 million in the same period last year. The decline in injectant costs year over year is due mainly to reduced injectant volumes at Judy Creek and an increase in the use of proprietary injectants. The majority of ethane and natural gas volumes injected at Judy Creek are proprietary volumes from Judy Creek and Swan Hills, which are re-injected. No cost is recorded in the financial statements for these re-injected volumes.
At June 30, 2004, the balance of unamortized injectant costs was $23.5 million.
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 oil, heavy oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production.

General and administrative
General and administrative expenses (G&A) were $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, G&A expenses were $10.8 million compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year. On a per boe basis, year to date G&A is $1.23 per boe, compared to $0.89 per boe for the first half of 2003. Included in 2004 second quarter G&A is $0.3 million of non-cash compensation costs related to trust unit rights ($1.4 million year to date) compared to $0.1 million for the first six months of 2003. Excluding the non-cash component of G&A, 2004 year to date G&A has increased over 2003 levels by $1.5 million due to a number of factors including increased financial reporting and regulatory costs and the addition of personnel and additional office space required to manage the Murphy Assets.
Management Fees
Management fees were $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2004 compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2003. For the six month period, management fees were $8.4 million in 2004 compared to $6.1 million in 2003.
Management fees recorded in the second quarter of 2004 include an accrual for estimated performance fees of $3.0 million. Under the current management agreement, which came into effect July 1, 2003, the manager will earn a performance fee if Pengrowth trust unit total returns exceed 8% per annum on a three year rolling average basis. The maximum fees, including the performance fee, is
- 10 - PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST
limited to 80% of the fees that would otherwise have been paid under the old management agreement (including acquisition fees) for the first three years, and 60% thereafter. Although the total fees payable to the manager are less under the current management agreement, which came into effect on July 1, 2003, the new fee structure includes a performance fee component. Under the management agreement that was in effect in the second quarter of 2003, the manager earned an acquisition fee, but this was capitalized as part of the cost of the properties acquired.
Interest
Interest expense increased to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2003. Included in 2004 second quarter interest is $2.3 million of bank fees incurred to establish the bridge facility used to finance the Murphy acquisition. Second quarter 2003 interest expense included $1.9 million associated with terminating interest rate swaps on long-term debt. For the first six months of 2004, interest expense was $11.9 million compared to $10.0 million for the first half of 2003. Interest expense also includes on a year to date basis $0.9 million of fees related to the amortization of U.S. dollar debt issue costs and imputed interest on the note payable to Emera Offshore Incorporated.
Depletion and Depreciation
Depletion and depreciation increased to $58.1 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2003. For the six month period, depletion and depreciation was $108.6 million compared to $89.2 million in the first half of 2003. On a per boe basis, depletion and depreciation has increased to $12.29 per boe in the first half of 2004 compared to $9.89 per boe in the first half of 2003. The increase is attributable to the purchase of properties over the past year, including the Murphy Assets in May 2004, and the SOEP facilities in 2003, which had no associated reserve additions. With the sustained strength in commodity prices in recent years, the cost of acquiring oil and gas properties has increased resulting in higher depletion per boe.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Pengrowths long term debt at June 30, 2004 was $371.8 million, compared to $259.3 million at December 31, 2003, and $334.3 million at June 30, 2003. During the second quarter, Pengrowth issued $325 million of new debt to fund the Murphy acquisition. Of this amount, $220 million is an acquisition facility with a one year term ending May 31, 2005 and the remaining $105 million was provided for from a $275 million revolving credit facility with a renewal date of May 30, 2005. Approximately $170 million of the credit facility remains unutilized at June 30, 2004. Pengrowth also maintains a $35 million demand operating line of credit. The remainder of Pengrowths debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter 2004 is U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate term debt, details of which are provided in Note 4 to the financial statements. Due to the decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar at the balance sheet dates, an unrealized loss of $4.5 million has been recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. A total unrealized gain of $23.5 million has been recorded since the debt issuance in April 2003.
Acquisition
On May 31, 2004, Pengrowth acquired certain oil and natural gas assets in Alberta and Saskatchewan (the Murphy Assets) from a subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation (Murphy) for a purchase price of Cdn $550.5 million. Pengrowths independent engineering evaluator, Gilbert Laustsen Jung Associates Ltd. (GLJ) prepared an evaluation with an effective date of April 1, 2004. The reserves that are booked based on this report include total proved reserves of 39.6 million boe and proved plus probable reserves of 48.7 million boe.
As required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Pengrowth recorded a future tax liability upon acquisition of the Murphy Assets. The tax liability arises due to the deficiency in tax pools of the Murphy Assets acquired, less certain excess tax pools (compared to book value) from past acquisitions. The future tax liability represents the income taxes that would arise, based on the enacted income tax rates, if the operating companys assets and liabilities were disposed of or settled at book value. Because of the tax effective structure of the Trust, Pengrowth does not expect to pay cash income taxes in the operating companies in the foreseeable future.
In accordance with GAAP, Pengrowth was also required to record goodwill of $170.5 million upon acquisition of the Murphy Assets. The goodwill value was determined based on the excess of total consideration paid less the net value assigned to other identifiable assets and liabilities, including the future income tax liability. Details of the acquisition are provided in Note 5 of the financial statements.
Capital Spending
Capital expenditures for the six months ending June 30, 2004 totaled $63.6 million including $19.9 million at Judy Creek, $5.1 million at Monogram, $2.0 million at Weyburn, $2.9 million at McLeod and the balance at SOEP and other projects.
Pengrowth plans to spend a total of approximately $98 million on development activities in the second half of 2004, including approximately $18 million on the newly acquired Murphy properties. Over 54% of capital expenditures spent in the first half of 2004
have been funded through the combination of the 10% holdback from distributable cash and cash generated through the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) and exercise of trust unit rights.
Summary of Quarterly Results
The following table is a summary of quarterly results for 2002, 2003 and the first and second quarters of 2004. Net income for the second quarter 2004 was lower than net income for the first quarter of 2004 due mainly to higher operating costs and depletion and depreciation expense which offset the increase in oil and gas sales from one months production from the Murphy assets acquired on May 31, 2004. Distributable cash for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2004 was positively impacted by one months production from the Murphy assets.
This table also shows the relatively high commodity prices sustained since the first quarter of 2002, which has a positive impact on net income and distributable cash.

Pengrowth is currently evaluating the second phase of the 2004 program for an additional 14 wells. |
Swan Hills Unit (10.45% working interest)
| A total of five wells were drilled in the second quarter. Completion operations are expected to commence in the third quarter. |
Weyburn Unit (9.75% working interest)
| Weyburn production continues to outperform budget expectations largely due to favourable CO2 response. Pengrowths share of Weyburn production is forecast to average 2,300 bbls per day for the remainder of 2004. | |||
| The CO2 supplier, North Dakota Gasification Company, scheduled a one time total turnaround for the month of June. Wet weather had a major impact on field operations in May shutting down drilling operations for two weeks and reducing the operators effectiveness to service wells. Four horizontal wells were drilled in the second quarter. |
2004 Tax Estimate Update
Pengrowth forecasts that in the current commodity price environment, approximately 65% to 70% of distributions paid in 2004 will be taxable to Canadian unitholders, with the remainder of distributions treated as return of capital and thus tax deferred. The increase in taxability estimate compared to the first quarter estimate relates mainly to higher distributable cash expected as a result of the acquisition of the Murphy Assets, without a corresponding increase in tax pools at the trust level.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2004
(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of dollars except per unit amounts)
1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |||
The interim consolidated financial statements of Pengrowth Energy Trust include the accounts of Pengrowth Energy Trust, Pengrowth Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Pengrowth). The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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, 2003. 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 Pengrowths annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. | ||||
GOODWILL | ||||
Goodwill must be recorded upon a corporate acquisition when the total purchase price exceeds the net identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired company. The goodwill balance will not be amortized but instead is assessed for impairment each reporting period. Impairment is determined based on the fair value of the reporting entity compared to the net book value of the reporting entity. Any impairment will be charged to earnings in the period in which the fair value of the reporting entity is below the book value. | ||||
2. | CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |||
Prior period comparative balances have been restated due to the changes in accounting polices described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. | ||||
As a result of the changes in accounting policies, net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased by $1,779,000 and $3,649,000, respectively. Net income per unit basic and diluted for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased by $0.016 per unit and $0.033 per unit, respectively. |

On June 30, 2004, Pengrowth had a $275 million revolving credit facility syndicated among eight financial institutions with an extendible 364 day revolving period and a two year amortization term period. In addition, it has a $35 million demand operating line of credit. The facilities are currently reduced by outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $23 million. A $220 million unsecured acquisition facility with a one year term was put in place May 31, 2004 to fund the Murphy acquisition (see Note 5). Interest payable on amounts drawn is at the prevailing bankers acceptance rates plus stamping fees, lenders prime lending rates, or U.S. libor rates plus applicable margins, depending on the form of borrowing by the Corporation. The margins |
PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST - 19 -
and stamping fees on the revolving credit facility vary from 0.25 percent to 1.50 percent depending on financial statement ratios and the form of borrowing. The margins and stamping fees on the acquisition facility for the first six month term vary from 1.50 percent to 2.50 percent and for the final six month term, the margins and stamping fees vary from 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent depending on the form of borrowing. | ||||
The revolving credit facility will revolve until May 30, 2005, whereupon it may be renewed for a further 364 days, subject to satisfactory review by the lenders, or converted into a term facility with amounts outstanding under the facility repayable in equal quarterly installments. One third of the amount outstanding would be paid in each of the first two years and the final one third owing would be repaid upon maturity of the term period. Pengrowth can post, at its option, security suitable to the banks in lieu of the first years payments. In such an instance, no principal payment would be made to the banks for one year following the date of non-renewal. | ||||
5. | CORPORATE ACQUISITION | |||
On May 31, 2004, Pengrowth acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of a company which had interests in oil and natural gas assets in Alberta and Saskatchewan (the Murphy Assets). The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with the allocation of the purchase price and consideration as follows: |
Net assets acquired: |
||||
Working capital |
$ | 7,363 | ||
Property, plant, and equipment |
502,924 | |||
Goodwill |
170,470 | |||

$ | 224,836 | ||
Acquisition facility |
325,000 | |||
Acquisition costs |
656 | |||
$ | 550,492 | |||
Property, plant and equipment of $503 million represents the fair value of the assets acquired determined in part by an independent reserve evaluation, net of purchase price adjustments. Goodwill of $170 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 income tax liability. | ||||
The future income tax liability was determined based on the enacted income tax rate of approximately 34 percent as at May 31, 2004. | ||||
Contract liabilities include a natural gas fixed price sales contract (see Note 12) and firm pipeline demand charge contracts. The fair value of these liabilities have been determined on the date of acquisition and a liability of $21,824,000 has been recorded for the natural gas fixed price sales contract and $6,351,000 has been recorded for the firm pipeline demand charge contracts. The liabilities will be reduced as the contracts are settled. | ||||
Results from operations of the acquired Murphy Assets subsequent to May 31, 2004 are included in the consolidated financial statements. |

The per unit amounts for net income are based on weighted average units outstanding for the period. The weighted average units outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were 135,472,925 (June 30, 2003 111,466,759 units) and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were 130,346,384 (June 30, 2003 111,119,478 units). In computing diluted net income per unit, 588,294 units were added to the weighted average number of units outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 (June 30, 2003 508,654 units) and 618,264 units were added for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (June 30, 2003 418,995 units) for the dilutive effect of trust unit options and rights. | ||||

Fair Value of Unit Based Compensation | ||||
The fair value of rights incentive options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was estimated at 15 percent of the exercise price at the date of grant using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 3.9 percent, volatility of 22 percent, expected life of five years and adjustments for the estimated distributions and reductions in the exercise price over the life of the right incentive option. | ||||
For trust unit options and rights granted in 2002, Pengrowth has elected to disclose the pro forma effect on net income had compensation expense been recorded using the fair value method. The following is the pro forma effect on net income: |

Foreign Exchange Risk | ||||
Pengrowth entered into a foreign exchange swap which fixed the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate at Cdn$1.55 per U.S. $1 on U.S. $750,000 per month effective 2003 and 2004. This swap has mitigated a portion of the exchange risk on U.S. dollar denominated gas sales. The estimated fair value of the foreign exchange swap has been determined based on the amount Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate the contract at period end. At June 30, 2004, the amount Pengrowth would receive to terminate the foreign exchange swap would be Cdn$958,000. |

Forward and Futures Contracts | ||||
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.
As at June 30, 2004, Pengrowth had fixed the price applicable to future production as follows: |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||
The carrying value of financial instruments included in the balance sheet, other than long term debt, the note payable and remediation trust funds, approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The fair value of the remediation trust funds at June 30, 2004 was $8,066,000 (December 31, 2003 $7,479,000). The fair value of the U.S. dollar denominated debt at June 30, 2004 was approximately $260,341,000 based on the changes in the fair value of the underlying U.S. Treasury Bill that was originally used as the basis for determining the coupon rate for each of Pengrowth Corporations notes. The fair value of the note payable at June 30, 2004, approximates its carrying value net of the imputed interest included in deferred charges. | ||||
13. | COMMITMENTS | |||
Associated with the Murphy Assets acquired by Pengrowth are firm pipeline demand charge commitments, payments of which are expected to be, based on current toll rates, approximately $18,450,000 in 2004, $19,051,000 in 2005, $18,895,000 in 2006, $18,449,000 in 2007, and $15,686,000 in 2008 and are expected to continue until 2015 with total payments totaling approximately $78,701,000 for the period from 2009 to 2015. | ||||
14. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT | |||
Reclassification of Trust Units | ||||
On July 13, 2004, Pengrowth announced that the reclassification of Pengrowth Energy Trust trust units as Class A and Class B trust units would be implemented effective July 27, 2004. On July 27, 2004, generally each Canadian unitholder will have the trust units held by them reclassified as Class B trust units. Each unitholder who is not a Canadian unitholder will have the trust units held by them reclassified as Class B trust units and then immediately converted into Class A trust units. The Class B trust units will trade solely on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Class A trust units will trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. | ||||
The Class A and Class B trust units will have the same rights as the existing trust units to vote, obtain distributions and participate in the assets of Pengrowth upon wind-up or dissolution of Pengrowth. Class A trust units will have no residency restriction and will be exchangeable for Class B trust units provided the holder is a resident of Canada. With the exception of the implementation period, Class A trust units will be subject to an ownership threshold equivalent to 49.75 percent of all outstanding trust units. Class B trust units may only be held by Canadian residents and will be exchangeable into Class A trust units provided that the number of Class A trust units does not exceed the ownership threshold of 49.75 percent. |
