OPTI CANADA INC. - 4 - 2008 Q3 INTERIM REPORT
OPTI Canada Inc. (OPTI) is a public Canadian company with its shares listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: OPC). OPTI’s primary activity is the Long Lake Project (the Project), in which OPTI has a 50 percent working interest.
On January 1, 2008, OPTI Long Lake LP (Partnership) was dissolved by a distribution of assets to each of the partners, OPTI and OPTI GP Inc. On January 1, 2008, OPTI GP Inc. was amalgamated with OPTI Canada Inc.
The interim financial statements of OPTI Canada Inc. are presented in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 except as identified below. These interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007.
3. | NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
On January 1, 2008, OPTI adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) handbook section 1535 “Capital Disclosures.” Section 1535 requires the disclosure of OPTI’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. This includes qualitative information regarding OPTI’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital and quantitative data about what OPTI manages as capital. These disclosures are based on information used internally by OPTI’s management. See note 7.
On January 1, 2008, OPTI adopted the CICA handbook section 3862 “Financial Instruments - Disclosures,” and section 3863 “Financial Instruments - Presentation.” Sections 3862 and 3863 replace section 3861 “Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation” which revises financial instruments disclosure requirements and leaves unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how OPTI manages those risks. See discussion in OPTI’s third quarter 2008 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) under the heading “Financial Instruments.”
| c) | Future accounting changes |
| (i) The CICA issued a new accounting standard section 3064 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” which is effective for OPTI in the first quarter of 2009. This standard replaces section 3062 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and section 3450 “Research and Development Costs.” The new section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The provisions relating to the definition and initial recognition of intangible assets are equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 38, “Intangible Assets.” Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) abstract 27 “Revenues and Expenditures During the Pre-Operating Period” will no longer apply once section 3064 is adopted. Accounting Guideline (AcG) 11 “Enterprises in the Development Stage” is amended to delete references to deferred costs and to provide guidance on development costs as intangible assets under section 3064. |

3. NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
In accordance with GAAP and OPTI’s accounting policies, OPTI has capitalized gains and losses related to the translation of OPTI’s U.S. dollar debt as well as unrealized gains and losses related to certain financial derivatives associated with its long-term debt. As a result of these proposed changes to GAAP, OPTI expects that these capitalized gains and losses will no longer meet the criteria for capitalization. As such, OPTI anticipates expensing these items with retroactive effect on January 1, 2009 with a corresponding adjustment to opening deficit. The magnitude of this adjustment will depend primarily on the value of the contracts at December 31, 2008 whose value reflects the then current and future value of foreign exchange and interest rates.
| (ii) On February 13, 2008 the CICA Accounting Standards Board announced that Canadian public reporting issuers will be required to report under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in 2011. Prior to the adoption date, certain MD&A disclosures are required, beginning for the fourth quarter of 2008. OPTI is currently evaluating the impact of these new standards. |
OPTI’s debt consists of the following:
| | September 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
Senior secured notes (a) | | $ | 1,862,350 | | | $ | 1,734,775 | |

OPTI has US$1,000 million senior secured notes which bear interest at 8.25 percent and mature on December 15, 2014. These notes are collateralized by a second priority security interest on all OPTI’s existing and future property. OPTI may redeem up to 35 percent of these notes prior to December 15, 2009 with net proceeds from certain equity offerings. At any time prior to December 31, 2010, OPTI may redeem these notes at the principal amount, plus the applicable premium and accrued interest and at any time after December 31, 2010, at redemption prices between 104.13 percent and 100 percent of the principal amount.
OPTI also has US$750 million senior secured notes. These notes bear interest at 7.875 percent and mature December 15, 2014. The other terms and conditions associated with these notes are substantially the same as the notes described above.
| b) | $500 million revolving credit facility |
OPTI has a $500 million revolving credit facility due December 15, 2011. Borrowings under this facility can take the form of prime rate based loans, bankers’ acceptances, LIBOR loans or letters of credit. Amounts currently drawn under this facility bear interest at 5.5 percent. Future borrowings will bear interest at the prime rate, bankers’ acceptance rate or at LIBOR plus a spread above the reference rate between 1.0 percent and 2.5 percent per annum. This facility is collateralized by a first priority security interest on all present and after acquired property of OPTI. The revolving credit facility includes certain conditions precedent to all borrowings which include a sufficient funding test related to the Project.

| c) | $150 million revolving credit facility |
On June 23, 2008, OPTI established a $150 million revolving credit facility due June 22, 2009. Borrowings under this facility can take the form of prime rate based loans, bankers’ acceptances, LIBOR loans or letters of credit. Borrowings will bear interest at the prime rate, bankers’ acceptance rate or at LIBOR plus a spread above the reference rate between 1.0 percent and 2.5 percent per annum. This facility is collateralized by a first priority security interest on all present and after acquired property of OPTI. This facility includes certain conditions precedent to all borrowings which include a sufficient funding test related to the Project.
5. | OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES |
OPTI’s other long-term liabilities consists of the following:
| | September 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
Cross currency interest rate swaps (a) | | $ | 220 | | | $ | 59,607 | |
Asset retirement obligation | | | 7,672 | | | | 7,070 | |
Commodity contract liability (b) | | | 2,360 | | | | - | |
| | $ | 10,252 | | | $ | 66,677 | |
a) Cross currency interest rate swaps
In relation to OPTI’s U.S. dollar senior secured notes, OPTI has cross currency interest rate swaps to fix a portion of the U.S. dollar interest and principal repayment amounts in Canadian dollars. At the maturity date of the notes in December 2014, the swaps provide for a fixed payment of CDN$928 million in exchange for receipt of US$875 million. The swaps also provide for semi-annual Canadian interest payments until December 2014 at a fixed rate of 8.15 percent based on notional CDN$928 million of debt in exchange for receipt of semi-annual U.S. dollar payments at a fixed rate of 8.25 percent based on a notional US$875 million. As a result of the period end fair value revaluation, an unrealized gain of approximately $65 million has been capitalized to property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. See also Note 12 - Subsequent Event.
b) Commodity contract liability
During the first quarter, OPTI purchased put options that provide a minimum price for a portion of its anticipated 2009 production. OPTI purchased deferred premium put options that provide a US$80 per barrel strike price for 6,000 bbl/d in 2009. The cost of the put option is paid as the contracts expire and has been recorded as a long-term liability. The total liability is $9 million, of which $2 million is long-term and $7 million is current and has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The liability will be increased to the settlement value over the life of the options.

d) Call obligations
On June 30, 2008, $202 million of outstanding call obligations expired unexercised by OPTI. The call obligations consisted of unconditional and irrevocable call options whereby OPTI, at its option, could have required a subscription for either a convertible preferred share or a common share for the face amount of the call obligation. The exercise price per share of the call obligations was $2.20 per share. The amount of the expired call obligations has been included as an adjustment to Deficit.
e) Outstanding Warrants

OPTI’s debt facilities set certain limitations on its capital structure primarily through financial covenants including a debt-to-capitalization ratio. Measurement of the ratios for this purpose is defined in the relevant credit agreement and uses non-GAAP financial measures. OPTI is presently in compliance with these financial covenants.
OPTI sets internal targets for its financial ratios that are more stringent than the requirements in the debt agreements. These internal targets support evaluation of the timing and amount of new debt and equity that balance creation of value for stakeholders with the management of risks associated with debt. Capital funding plans and targets are set annually based on expected growth programs and forecasted financial results for the business.
OPTI’s capital consists of long-term debt, warrants and capital stock. As we do not have commercial operations, virtually all of our capital to date has resulted from the issuance of debt and equity. To date, OPTI has been funded with both long-term debt and equity. A description of debt and related changes in the period are detailed in note 4. Equity capital for OPTI is identified in note 6.
OPTI is a public company and has established access in past transactions to both public and private debt and equity markets. OPTI anticipates continued long-term access to both the debt and equity markets to fund future growth of the business.

8. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT |
OPTI’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, interest reserve account, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of the instruments, the carrying values approximate the fair values. The commodity contracts, cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are considered to be held-for-trading and are recorded at fair value. OPTI’s senior secured notes and the revolving credit facilities are considered other financial liabilities and are recorded at cost. At September 30, 2008, the estimated fair value of the notes is US$1,550 million (CDN$1,655 million) and the carrying value of the revolving credit facilities approximates their fair value due to their variable rate and short-term duration of instruments outstanding under the facilities.
