• | Acquisitions should be accretive on a per Trust Unit basis based upon current forecast parameters. In determining whether an acquisition is accretive, we examine the profile of production, operating costs, capital costs, abandonment expenses and other key variables and compare that with our existing asset base to understand the impact over time in terms of production, reserves and distributions on a per Trust Unit basis. | ||
• | The undiscounted aggregate projected future net cash flow from the properties should exceed the aggregate purchase price of the properties and provide a reasonable rate of return. | ||
• | Properties to be acquired should be high quality, relatively long life and proven producing properties. Pengrowth gives priority to properties with: |
o | low anticipated capital expenditures relative to the cash generation potential of the properties; | ||
o | relatively low operating costs or high netbacks; | ||
o | experienced, well regarded industry operators or where operatorship may be assumed by Pengrowth; | ||
o | favourable production history; | ||
o | upside potential through infill drilling, improved field operations and other development activities; | ||
o | potential synergies with our current properties and areas of our core expertise; and | ||
o | low environmental and site remediation risk. |
• | Each purchase of new properties must be based on an independent engineering report except for properties where the purchase price is less than $5 million. |
• | Development investments should provide a high rate of return and provide production within a short period of time, or be necessary to maintain existing production operations. Pengrowth prioritizes its development investments based on: |
o | rate of return; | ||
o | timing of production; | ||
o | potential for continued development; and | ||
o | those investments necessary to maintain existing facilities and wells. |

• | Reserve additions from drilling activity, improved recovery and technical revisions replaced 2007 production by 56 percent and 54 percent for Total Proved and Proved Plus Probable Reserves, respectively. Based on all changes, including acquisitions and dispositions, reserve replacement was 148 percent and 169 percent for Total Proved and Proved Plus Probable Reserves, respectively. | ||
• | The net increase of 36.7 MMboe from acquisitions and dispositions accounted for approximately 68 percent of the Total Proved Plus Probable Reserves added in 2007. Acquisition adds were almost entirely from the ConocoPhillips properties acquired in January 2007. Acquisitions were offset by the planned sale of non-core assets closing at various times during 2007. | ||
• | New reserves were added from development activity. Most significant were drilling extensions for Horseshoe Canyon CBM and infill drilling and drilling extensions at Twining, Harmattan and Monogram. Reserve increases in the Proved Producing category also resulted from reclassification of Proved and Probable Undeveloped Reserves primarily for additional drilling and tie-in of Horseshoe Canyon CBM, infill drilling at Monogram and infill drilling and improved recovery in the Weyburn and Swan Hills miscible flood projects. | ||
• | Various performance related revisions were made to previous estimates resulting in a net positive change. The largest revisions to Proved Reserves occurred at Sable Island (+1,308 Mboe), Fenn Big Valley (+965 Mboe), Jenner (+887 Mboe) and Winnifred (-520 Mboe). |

• | The Trust Units would cease to be a qualified investment for trusts governed by RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and DPSPs, as defined in the Tax Act. Where, at the end of a month, a RRSP, RRIF, RESP or DPSP holds Trust Units that ceased to be a qualified investment, the RRSP, RRIF, RESP or DPSP, as the case may be, must, in respect of that month, pay a tax under Part XI.1 of the Tax Act equal to 1 percent of the fair market value of the Trust Units at the time such Trust Units were acquired by the RRSP, RRIF, RESP or DPSP. In addition, trusts governed by a RRSP or a RRIF which hold Trust Units that are not qualified investments will be subject to tax on the income attributable to the Trust Units while they are non-qualified investments, including the full capital gains, if any, realized on the disposition of such Trust Units. Where a trust governed by a RRSP or a RRIF acquires Trust Units that are not qualified investments, the value of the investment will be included in the income of the annuitant for the year of the acquisition. Trusts governed by RESPs which hold Trust Units that are not qualified investments can have their registration revoked by the Canada Revenue Agency. | ||
• | The Trust would be required to pay a tax under Part XII.2 of the Tax Act. The payment of Part XII.2 tax by the Trust may have adverse income tax consequences for certain Unitholders, including non-resident persons and residents of Canada who are exempt from Part I tax. | ||
• | The Trust would not be entitled to use the capital gains refund mechanism otherwise available for mutual fund trusts. | ||
• | The Trust Units would constitute “taxable Canadian property” for the purposes of the Tax Act, potentially subjecting non-residents of Canada to tax pursuant to the Tax Act on the disposition (or deemed disposition) of such Trust Units. |

• | We have elected under applicable United States Treasury Regulations to be treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes. Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that publicly-traded partnerships such as the Trust will, as a general rule, be taxed as corporations. We will not be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes only if 90 percent or more of its gross income consists of “qualifying income”. Although we expect to satisfy the 90 percent requirement at all times, if we fail to satisfy this requirement, we will be treated as a foreign corporation. Such conversion will be taxable unless a certain filing is made. | ||
• | If we were treated as a foreign corporation, we could be a passive foreign investment company or “PFIC”. If we were considered a PFIC, United States holders of Trust Units could be subject to substantially increased United States tax liability, including an interest charge upon the sale or other disposition of the United States holder’s Trust Units, or upon the receipt of “excess distributions” from the Trust. Certain elections may be available to a United States holder if we were classified as a PFIC to alleviate these adverse tax consequences. | ||
• | We treat the Royalty between the Trust and the Corporation as a royalty interest for all legal purposes, including United States federal income tax purposes. The Royalty Indenture in some respects differs from more conventional “net profits” interests as to which the courts and the IRS have ruled regarding the federal income tax treatment as a royalty, and as a result the propriety of such treatment is not free from doubt. It is possible that the IRS could contend, for example, that we should be considered to have a working interest in the properties of the Corporation. If the IRS were successful in making such a contention, the United States federal income tax consequences to United States holders could be different, perhaps materially worse, than indicated in the discussion herein, which generally assumes that the Royalty Indenture will be respected as a royalty. | ||
• | Gain or loss will be recognized on a sale of Trust Units equal to the difference between the amount realized and the United States holder’s tax basis for the Trust Units sold. Gain or loss recognized by a United States holder on the sale or exchange of Trust Units will generally be taxable as capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such United States holder’s holding period of the Trust Units exceeds one year. A portion of any amount realized on a sale or exchange of Trust Units (which portion could be substantial) will be separately |
- 88 -
computed and taxed as ordinary income under Section 751 of the Code to the extent attributable to the recapture of depletion or depreciation deductions. Ordinary income attributable to depletion deductions and depreciation recapture could exceed net taxable gain realized upon the sale of the Trust Units and may be recognized even if there is a net taxable loss realized on the sale of the Trust Units. Thus, a United States holder may recognize both ordinary income and a capital loss upon a taxable disposition of Trust Units. | |||
• | We have registered as a “tax shelter” with the United States Secretary of the Treasury because of the absence of assurance that we will not be subject to tax shelter registration and in light of the substantial penalties which otherwise might be imposed if we failed to register and it were subsequently determined that registration was required. Registration as a “tax shelter” may increase the risk of an IRS audit of us or a Unitholder. Any Unitholder owning less than a 1 percent profits interest in us has very limited rights to participate in the income tax audit process. Further, any adjustments in our tax returns will lead to adjustments in our Unitholders’ tax returns and may lead to audits of Unitholders’ tax returns and adjustments of items unrelated to us. You will bear the cost of any expense incurred in connection with an examination of your personal tax return. | ||
• | Because we cannot match transferors and transferees of Trust Units, we must maintain uniformity of the economic and tax characteristics of the Trust Units to a purchaser of these Trust Units. In the absence of such uniformity, the Trust may be unable to comply completely with a number of federal income tax requirements. A lack of uniformity, however, can result from a literal application of some Treasury regulations. If any non-uniformity was required by the IRS, it could have a negative impact on the value of the Trust Units. | ||
• | The Trust may not be an appropriate investment for certain types of entities. For example, there is a risk that some of the Trust’s income could be unrelated business taxable income with respect to tax-exempt organizations. Prospective purchasers of Trust Units that are tax-exempt organizations are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding investments in Trust Units. | ||
• | The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, or an investment in our Trust Units may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. For example, in response to certain recent developments, members of Congress are considering substantive changes to the existing U.S. tax laws that would affect certain publicly traded partnerships. Any modification to the U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof may or may not be applied retroactively. Although the currently proposed legislation would not appear to affect our tax treatment, we are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the value of an investment in our Trust Units. | ||
• | We prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of our Trust Units each month based upon the ownership of our Trust Units on the first day of each month, instead of on the basis of the date a particular Trust Unit is transferred. The use of the proration method may not be permitted under existing Treasury Regulations, and, accordingly, our counsel is unable to opine as to the validity of this method. If the IRS were to challenge this method or new Treasury Regulations were issued, we may be required to change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our Unitholders. | ||
• | On September 21, 2007, Canada and the United States signed the Protocol to the Canada-U.S. Convention. On December 14, 2007, Canada completed the steps required to give effect to the Protocol. The Protocol will come into force once it has been ratified by the United States, and the two countries have formally notified each other that their procedures are complete. The Protocol contains new Article IV(7)(b), a treaty benefit denial rule, which would increase the Canadian withholding tax on Pengrowth’s distributions (which for the purposes of this paragraph |
- 89 -
includes deemed dividends pursuant to the SIFT Legislation) to Non-Resident Unitholders who are residents of the U.S. for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Convention. Article IV(7)(b) of the Protocol will not come into force until the first day of the third calendar year that ends after the Protocol is in force. Article IV(7)(b) of the Protocol generally denies benefits under the Canada-U.S. Convention in circumstances where (i) a Unitholder who is a resident of the U.S. for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Convention receives an amount, such as a distribution, from an entity that is a resident of Canada, such as Pengrowth, (ii) Pengrowth is treated as a fiscally transparent entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is the case inasmuch as Pengrowth is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (iii) the tax treatment of the amount (or distribution) received by the U.S. Resident Unitholder would, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be different if Pengrowth were not treated as fiscally transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The effect of Article IV(7)(b) of the Protocol is that the Canadian withholding tax rate on distributions of income would be 25 percent instead of 15 percent or such lower rate otherwise available under the Canada-U.S. Convention. Returns of capital would still be subject to a 15 percent Canadian withholding tax and such rate is not modified by the Protocol. The Protocol also contains measures which, generally speaking, are designed to limit the benefits under the Canada-U.S. Convention to “treaty shopping” transactions or arrangements. |

REPORT ON RESERVES DATA
BY
INDEPENDENT QUALIFIED RESERVES
EVALUATOR OR AUDITOR
1. | We have prepared an evaluation of the Company’s reserves data as at December 31, 2007. The reserves data are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and related future net revenue as at December 31, 2007, estimated using forecast prices and costs. | |
2. | The reserves data are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the reserves data based on our evaluation. | |
We carried out our evaluation in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the “COGE Handbook”) prepared jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society). | ||
3. | Those standards require that we plan and perform an evaluation to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the reserves data are free of material misstatement. An evaluation also includes assessing whether the reserves data are in accordance with principles and definitions in the COGE Handbook. | |
4. | The following table sets forth the estimated future net revenue (before deduction of income taxes) attributed to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent, included in the reserves data of the Company evaluated by us for the year ended December 31, 2007, and identifies the respective portions thereof that we have audited, evaluated and reviewed and reported on to the Company’s board of directors: |

6. | We have no responsibility to update our reports referred to in paragraph 4 for events and circumstances occurring after their respective preparation dates. |
7. | Because the reserves data are based on judgments regarding future events, actual results will vary and the variations may be material. |
