Harvest Energy Trust

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Period ended June 30, 2006

(Tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except Trust Unit and per Trust Unit amounts)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

These interim consolidated financial statements of Harvest Energy Trust (the "Trust" or "Harvest") have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies, if any, as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. In the opinion of management, these financial statements have been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as described and used in the consolidated financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2005 and should be read in conjunction with that report.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvest Energy Trust, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its proportionate interest in a partnership with a third party.

2. Acquisitions

(a) Business Acquisition

On February 3, 2006, the unitholders of the Trust and Viking Energy Royalty Trust ("Viking") voted to approve a resolution to effect the Plan of Arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") by which unitholders of Viking received 0.25 Harvest Trust Units for every Viking Trust Unit held, and the Trust acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Viking for total consideration of approximately $1,638.1 million. This amount consisted of the issuance of 46,040,788 Trust Units [Note 9(b)] at an ascribed value of $35.58 per Trust Unit, based on the weighted average trading price of the Harvest Trust Units before and after the announcement date of November 28, 2005. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of Vikings’ convertible debenture indenture, Harvest’s acquisition of Viking’s net assets resulted in Harvest assuming the obligations of Viking’s convertible debentures, including the adjustment of the conversion ratio to reflect the 0.25 Harvest Trust Unit for each Viking Trust Unit exchange ratio.

The Trust’s aggregate consideration for the acquisition of Viking consists of the following:

Consideration for the acquisition:
Ascribed value of Trust Units issued	$	1,638,131
Bank debt assumed		106,247
Convertible debentures assumed
Debt component		202,232
Equity component		24,123
Acquisition costs		4,600
	$	1,975,333

This transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method whereby the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values with the excess of the aggregate consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets allocated to goodwill. The following summarizes the allocation of the aggregate consideration for the Viking acquisition.


Allocation of purchase price:		Amount
Net working capital deficiency	$	(31,297)
Capital assets		1,455,000
Fair value deficiency of risk management contracts		(1,224)
Fair value of office lease		931
Goodwill		612,416
Asset retirement obligation		(60,493)
	$	1,975,333

On January 19, 2006, the Trust closed an asset acquisition in the Hay River and Killarney area for total cash consideration of $21.9 million.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2006 $6.8 million (six months ended June 30, 2005 - $2.8 million) of general and administrative costs have been capitalized, of which $2.7 million (six months ended June 30, 2005 - $2.7 million) relate to the Trust Unit incentive plan and the unit award incentive plan.

6. Asset Retirement Obligation

The Trust’s asset retirement obligation results from its net ownership interest in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities and the estimated costs and timing to reclaim and abandon them. The Trust estimates the total undiscounted amount of cash flows required to settle its asset retirement obligation to be approximately $622 million which will be incurred between 2006 and 2026. The majority of the costs will be incurred between 2015 and 2026. A credit-adjusted risk-free discount rate of 8% and inflation rate of approximately 1% were used to calculate the fair value of the asset retirement obligation as at June 30, 2006.

A reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation is provided below:

	Six Months ended June 30, 2006		Year ended December 31, 2005

Balance, end of period	$	189,841	$	110,693

7. Bank Loan

The Trust entered into a new credit facility agreement on February 3, 2006, that increased its borrowing capacity from $400 million to $750 million. At March 31, 2006, the Trust completed a secondary syndication of its credit facility resulting in a broadening of its banking group and an increase in its three year extendible revolving credit facility to $900 million.

At June 30, 2006, the Trust had $227.5 million drawn under a $900 million three year extendible revolving credit facility. With the consent of the lenders, the facility may be extended on an annual basis for an additional 364 days. The facility is secured by a $1.5 billion first floating charge over all of the assets of the operating subsidiaries and a guarantee from the Trust. Amounts borrowed under this facility bear interest at a floating rate based on bankers acceptances plus 65 basis points to 115 basis points depending on the Trust’s Senior Debt to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Availability under this facility is subject to quarterly financial covenants requiring that the Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio is less than 3 to 1, the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio is less than 3.5 to 1, Senior Debt to Capitalization Ratio is less than 50% and Total Debt to Capitalization Ratio is less than 55%, all as defined in the Credit Agreement.

8. Convertible Debentures

The Trust has issued three series of unsecured subordinated debentures and has assumed two additional series as part of the Viking acquisition [Note 2]. The two additional series of debentures assumed in the Viking acquisition have the same general terms as the three series issued by Harvest, the details of which have been outlined in our December 31, 2005 annual financial statements.

The following is a summary of the five series of convertible debentures.

(1) This series of convertible debentures may also be redeemed by the Trust at a price of $1,000 per debenture on or after November 1, 2009 until maturity.
⁽²⁾The fair value, including the equity component, of the 10.5% convertible debentures and the 6.40% convertible debentures at acquisition was $44.8 million and $181.5 million, respectively.

15. Subsequent Events

On July 12, 2006, the Board of Directors of Harvest Operations Corp. approved the monthly cash distributions for July, August, and September of $0.38 per Trust Unit, for total distributions before the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $116 million.

On July 26, 2006, the Trust entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of a private Western Canadian oil and natural gas producer for $440 million, plus adjustments, with closing anticipated in mid August. The definitive agreement was entered into by shareholders owning substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares, which irrevocably transferred control of the company to the Trust, subject to only conditions that are routine procedures for a transaction of this nature. As such, in accordance with Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 119, the Trust will account for the acquisition at the effective date of July 28, 2006. The purchase will be financed with proceeds from an issuance of trust units, as discussed below, and the Trust’s existing credit facilities.

In connection with the acquisition, the Trust has entered into an agreement to sell on a bought deal basis 6,110,000 Trust Units for gross proceeds of $200 million. The Trust granted the underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, which was exercised, to purchase an additional 916,500 Trust Units at the same offering price. Total gross proceeds to the Trust will be approximately $230 million. Closing is expected to occur on or about August 17, 2006.
