Management’s statement of responsibility for financial reporting
The management of Suncor Energy Inc. is responsible for the presentation and preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Suncor Energy Inc. on pages 65 to 103 and all related financial information contained in this Annual Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
We, as Suncor Energy Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have certified Suncor’s annual disclosure document filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 40-F) as required by the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. They include certain amounts that are based on estimates and judgments relating to matters not concluded by year-end. Financial information presented elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements.
In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies adopted by management as summarized on pages 65 to 69. If alternate accounting methods exist, management has chosen those policies it deems the most appropriate in the circumstances. In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and reliability of the financial statements, management maintains and relies upon a system of internal controls designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition and liabilities are recognized. These controls include quality standards in hiring and training of employees, formalized policies and procedures, a corporate code of conduct and associated compliance program designed to establish and monitor conflicts of interest, the integrity of accounting records and financial information among others, and employee and management accountability for performance within appropriate and well-defined areas of responsibility.
The system of internal controls is further supported by the professional staff of an internal audit function who conduct periodic audits of all aspects of the company’s operations.
The company retains independent petroleum consultants, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd., to conduct independent evaluations of the company’s oil and gas reserves.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, currently composed of five independent directors, reviews the effectiveness of the company’s financial reporting systems, management information systems, internal control systems and internal auditors. It recommends to the Board of Directors the external auditors to be appointed by the shareholders at each annual meeting and reviews the independence and effectiveness of their work. In addition, it reviews with management and the external auditors any significant financial reporting issues, the presentation and impact of significant risks and uncertainties, and key estimates and judgments of management that may be material for financial reporting purposes. The Audit Committee appoints the independent petroleum consultants. The Audit Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve interim financial statements prior to their release, as well as annually to review Suncor’s annual financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Annual Information Form/Form 40-F, and annual reserves estimates, and recommend their approval to the Board of Directors. The internal auditors and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have unrestricted access to the company, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Independent auditors’ report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SUNCOR ENERGY INC.
We have completed integrated audits of the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of Suncor Energy Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004 and an audit of its December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements. Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Suncor Energy Inc. as at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of the Company’s financial statements as at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004 and for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements as at December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. A financial statement audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have also audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December31,2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA – U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCES
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability of the company’s financial statements, such as the changes described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated February 28, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such a change in accounting principles in the Auditors’ Report when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Suncor Energy Inc. is a Canadian integrated energy company comprised of four operating segments: Oil Sands, Natural Gas, Energy Marketing and Refining – Canada, and Refining and Marketing – U.S.A.
Oil Sands includes the production of light sweet and light sour crude oil, diesel fuel and various custom blends from oil sands in the Athabasca region of northeastern Alberta, and the marketing of these products substantially in Canada and the United States.
Natural Gas includes the exploration, acquisition, development, production, transportation and marketing of natural gas and crude oil in Canada and the United States.
Energy Marketing and Refining – Canada includes the manufacture, transportation and marketing of petroleum, petrochemical and biofuel products, primarily in Ontario and Quebec.
Refining and Marketing – U.S.A. includes the manufacture, transportation and marketing of petroleum and petrochemical products, primarily in Colorado.
In addition to the operating segments outlined above, we also report a corporate segment, which includes the activities not directly attributable to an operating segment, as well as those of our self-insurance entity.
The significant accounting policies of the company are summarized below:
(a) Principles of Consolidation and the Preparation of Financial Statements
These consolidated financial statements are prepared and reported in Canadian dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada, which differ in some respects from GAAP in the United States. These differences are quantified and explained in note 18.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Suncor Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries and the company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of its joint ventures. Subsidiaries are defined as entities in which the Company holds a controlling interest, is the general partner or where it is subject to the majority of expected losses or gains.
The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions, and use judgment regarding assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur.
Certain prior period comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
(b) Cash Equivalents and Investments
Cash equivalents consist primarily of term deposits, certificates of deposit and all other highly liquid investments with a maturity at the time of purchase of three months or less. Investments with maturities greater than three months and up to one year are classified as short-term investments, while those with maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term investments. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.
(c) Revenues
Crude oil sales from upstream operations (Oil Sands and Natural Gas) to downstream operations (Energy Marketing and Refining – Canada and Refining and Marketing – U.S.A.) are based on actual product shipments. On consolidation, revenues and purchases related to these sales transactions are eliminated from operating revenues and purchases of crude oil and products.
The company also uses a portion of its natural gas production for internal consumption at its oil sands plant and Sarnia refinery. On consolidation, revenues from these sales are eliminated from operating revenues, crude oil and products purchases, and operating, selling and general expenses.
Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and petrochemical products and all other items not eliminated on consolidation are recorded when title passes to the customer and delivery has taken place. Revenues from oil and natural gas production from properties in which the company has an interest with other producers are recognized on the basis of the company’s net working interest.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets
Cost
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are recorded at cost.
Expenditures to acquire and develop Oil Sands mining properties are capitalized. Development costs to expand the capacity of existing mines or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized.
The company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its conventional natural gas and in-situ oil sands operations. Under the successful efforts method, acquisition costs of proved and unproved properties are capitalized. Costs of unproved properties are transferred to proved properties when proved reserves are confirmed. Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are expensed as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized. If it is determined that a specific well does not contain proved reserves, the related capitalized exploratory drilling costs are charged to expense, as dry hole costs, at that time. Related land costs are expensed through the amortization of unproved properties as covered under the Natural Gas section of the depreciation, depletion and amortization policy below.
Development costs, which include the costs of wellhead equipment, development drilling costs, gas plants and handling facilities, applicable geological and geophysical costs and the costs of acquiring or constructing support facilities and equipment are capitalized. Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and equipment and to lift oil and gas to the surface are expensed as operating costs.
Costs incurred after the inception of operations are expensed.
Interest Capitalization
Interest costs relating to major capital projects in progress and to the portion of non-producing oil and gas properties expected to become producing are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Capitalization of interest ceases when the capital asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended productive use.
Leases
Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership to the company are recorded as capital leases and classified as property, plant and equipment with offsetting long-term debt. All other leases are classified as operating leases under which leasing costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
OIL SANDS Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis, commencing when the assets are placed into service. Mine and mobile equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 20 years and plant and other property and equipment, including leases in service, primarily over four to 40 years. Capitalized costs related to the in-progress phase of projects are not depreciated until the facilities are substantially complete and ready for their intended productive use.
NATURAL GAS Acquisition costs of unproved properties that are individually significant are evaluated for impairment by management. Impairment of unproved properties that are not individually significant is provided for through amortization over the average projected holding period for that portion of acquisition costs not expected to become producing. The average projected holding period of five years is based on historical experience.
Acquisition costs of proved properties are depleted using the unit of production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized exploratory drilling costs and development costs are depleted on the basis of proved developed reserves. For purposes of the depletion calculation, production and reserves volumes for oil and natural gas are converted to a common unit of measure on the basis of their approximate relative energy content. Gas plants, support facilities and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which average 12 years.
| Suncor Energy Inc. | 067 |
| 2006 Annual Report |
DOWNSTREAM OPERATIONS (INCLUDING ENERGY MARKETING AND REFINING – CANADA AND REFINING AND MARKETING – U.S.A.) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of assets. The Sarnia and Commerce City refineries and additions thereto are depreciated over an average of 30 years, service stations and related equipment over an average of 20 years and pipeline facilities and other equipment over three to 40 years. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized over a maximum period of four years. The amortization of intangible assets is included within depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Asset Retirement Obligations
A liability is recognized for future retirement obligations associated with the company’ property, plant and equipment. The fair value of the Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) is recorded on a discounted basis. This amount is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized to expense over its useful life. The liability accretes until the company settles the obligation.
A significant portion of the company’s assets have retirement obligations for which the fair value cannot be reasonably determined because the assets currently have an indeterminate life. The asset retirement obligation for these assets is reviewed regularly, and will be recorded in the first period in which the lives of the assets become determinable.
Impairment
Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized asset retirement costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or conditions indicate that their net carrying amount, less future income taxes, may not be recoverable from estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If it is determined that the estimated net recoverable amount is less than the net carrying amount, a write-down to the asset’s fair value is recognized during the period, with a charge to earnings.
Disposals
Gains or losses on disposals of non-oil and gas property, plant and equipment are recognized in earnings. For oil and gas property, plant and equipment, gains or losses are recognized in earnings for significant disposals or disposal of an entire property. However, the acquisition cost of a subsequently surrendered or abandoned unproved property that is not individually significant, or a partial abandonment of a proved property, is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization.
(e) Deferred Charges and Other
Deferred charges and other are primarily comprised of deferred maintenance shutdown costs and deferred financing costs.
The cost of major maintenance shutdowns is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period to the next shutdown, which varies from three to seven years. Normal maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Financing costs related to the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related debt.
(f) Employee Future Benefits
The company’s employee future benefit programs consist of defined contribution pension plans, as well as other post-retirement benefits.
The estimated future cost of providing defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefits is actuarially determined using management’s best estimates of demographic and financial assumptions, and such cost is accrued ratably from the date of hire of the employee to the date the employee becomes fully eligible to receive the benefits. The discount rate used to determine accrued benefit obligations is based on a year end market rate of interest for high-quality debt instruments with cash flows that match the timing and amount of expected benefit payments. Company contributions to the defined contribution plan are expensed as incurred.
(g) Inventories
Inventories of crude oil and refined products are valued at the lower of cost (using the LIFO method) and net realizable value.
Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value.
Costs include direct and indirect expenditures incurred in bringing an item or product to its existing condition and location.

(h) Derivative Financial Instruments
The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument commodity contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps and options to hedge against the potential adverse impact of changing market prices due to changes in the underlying commodity indices. The company also periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards as part of its risk management strategy to manage exposure to interest and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
These derivative contracts are initiated within the guidelines of the company’s risk management policies, which require stringent authorities for approval and commitment of contracts, designation of the contracts by management as hedges of the related transactions, and monitoring of the effectiveness of such contracts in reducing the related risks. Contract maturities are consistent with the settlement dates of the related hedged transactions.
Derivative contracts accounted for as hedges are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains or losses on these contracts, including realized gains and losses on hedging derivative contracts settled prior to maturity, are recognized in earnings and cash flows when the related sales revenues, costs, interest expense and cash flows are recognized. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in earnings and cash flows when those changes occur.
Canadian Accounting Guideline 13 (AcG 13) “Hedging Relationships” is applicable to the company’s hedging relationships. AcG 13 specifies the circumstances in which hedge accounting is appropriate, including the identification, documentation, designation and effectiveness of hedges, as well as the discontinuance of hedge accounting. The Guideline does not specify hedge accounting methods. The company believes that its hedging documentation and tests of effectiveness are prepared in accordance with the provisions of AcG 13.
The company also uses energy derivatives, including physical and financial swaps, forwards and options to earn trading revenues. These energy marketing and trading activities are accounted for at fair value.
Effective January 1, 2007, accounting for financial instruments will change significantly as outlined in Section (l) “Recently Issued Canadian Accounting Standards.”
(i) Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Other assets and related depreciation, depletion and amortization, other liabilities, revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction dates. The resulting exchange gains and losses are included in earnings.
The company’s Refining and Marketing – U.S.A. operations, and corporate self-insurance operations are classified as self-sustaining and are translated into Canadian dollars using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate, while revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains or losses are included in cumulative foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.
(j) Stock-based Compensation Plans
Under the company’s common share option programs (see note 11), common share options are granted to executives, employees and non-employee directors.
Compensation expense is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as operating, selling and general expense for all common share options granted to employees and non-employee directors on or after January 1, 2003, with a corresponding increase recorded as contributed surplus in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. The expense is based on the fair values of the option at the time of grant and is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the estimated vesting periods of the respective options. For employees eligible to retire prior to the vesting date the compensation expense is recognized over the shorter period. In instances where an employee is eligible to retire at the time of grant, the full expense is recognized immediately.
| Suncor Energy Inc. | 069 |
| 2006 Annual Report |
For common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 (“pre-2003 options”), compensation expense is not recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company continues to disclose the pro forma earnings impact of related stock-based compensation expense for pre-2003 options. Consideration paid to the company on exercise of options is credited to share capital.
Stock-based compensation awards that are to be settled in cash are measured using the fair value-based method of accounting. The expense is based on the fair values of the award at the time of grant and the change in fair value from the time of grant. The expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the estimated vesting periods of the respective award.
See also Section (l) “Recently Issued Canadian Accounting Standards.”
(k) Transportation Costs
Transportation costs billed to customers are classified as revenues with the related transportation costs classified as transportation and other costs in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
(l) Recently Issued Canadian Accounting Standards
Financial Instruments/Other Comprehensive Income/Hedges
In 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) approved Handbook section 3855 “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement,” section 1530 “Comprehensive Income” and section 3865 “Hedges.” Effective January 1, 2007, these standards require the presentation of financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. These standards must be applied prospectively with an initial recognition adjustment to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income.
For specific transactions identified as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings or other comprehensive income based on the type and effectiveness of the individual instruments. Upon adoption the company’s presentation will be more aligned with the current U.S. GAAP reporting as outlined in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
Other comprehensive income will represent the foreign currency translation of self-sustaining subsidiaries, the fair value gains/losses of specific financial investments (available for sale) and the effective portion of gains/losses of cash flow hedges. Presentation of other comprehensive income will require a change in the presentation of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and result in a new Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Upon implementation and initial measurement under the new standards at January 1, 2007, the following adjustments will be recorded to the balance sheet:
• Financial Assets – $26 million
• Financial Liabilities – $13 million
• Retained Earnings – $5 million
• Cumulative Foreign Currency Translation – $71 million
• Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss – $63 million
No restatement of comparative balances is permitted.
The CICA has approved additional financial instrument and capital disclosure requirements. These new requirements will become effective on January 1, 2008.
Accounting Changes
In 2006, the CICA approved revisions to Handbook section 1506 “Accounting Changes.” Effective January 1, 2007, accounting policy changes are permitted only in the event a change is made within a primary source of GAAP, or where a change is warranted to provide more relevant and reliable information. All accounting policy changes are to be applied retrospectively, unless impracticable. Any prior period errors identified also require retrospective application. The revised standards will not impact net earnings or financial position.
Stock-based Compensation
On July 6, 2006, the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) of the CICA approved an abstract (EIC 162) addressing the recognition of stock-based compensation expenses for employees eligible to retire prior to the vesting date of any award(s) issued. The abstract requires that the compensation expense be recognized over the term until the employee is eligible to retire, when earlier than the award vesting date. If the employee is eligible to retire at the time of grant, the award is to be expensed immediately. The abstract was applied retrospectively, effective December 31, 2006. No material adjustment was required in applying this standard.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Overburden Removal Costs
On January 1, 2006, the company retroactively adopted EIC 160 “Stripping Costs Incurred in the Production Phase of a Mining Operation.” Under the new standard, overburden removal costs should be deferred and amortized only in instances where the activity benefits future periods, otherwise the costs should be charged to earnings in the period incurred. At Suncor, overburden removal precedes mining of the oil sands deposit within the normal operating cycle, and is related to current production. In accordance with the new standard, overburden removal costs are treated as variable production costs and expensed as incurred. Previously overburden removal was deferred and amortized on a life-of-mine approach. The impact of adopting this accounting standard is as follows:

(b) Non-monetary Transactions
On January 1, 2006, the company prospectively adopted CICA Handbook section 3831 “Non-monetary Transactions.” The standard requires all non-monetary transactions to be measured at fair value (if determinable) unless future cash flows are not expected to change significantly as a result of a transaction or the transaction is an exchange of a product held for sale in the ordinary course of business. The company was required to record the effects of an existing contract at Oil Sands that exchanges off-gas produced as a by-product of the upgrading operations for natural gas. An equal amount of revenues for the sale of the off-gas and purchases of crude oil and products for the purchase of the natural gas are recorded. The amount of the gross up of revenues and purchases of crude oil and products for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $126 million.

4. ROYALTIES
Alberta Crown royalties in effect for each Oil Sands project require payments to the Government of Alberta based on annual gross revenues less related transportation costs (R) less allowable costs (C), including the deduction of certain capital expenditures (the 25% R-C royalty), subject to a minimum payment of 1% of R. Firebag is treated by the Government of Alberta as a separate project from the rest of the Oil Sands operations for royalty purposes. During 2004 to 2006, Firebag was subject to the minimum payment of 1% of R. However, for the rest of Oil Sands, the 2004 calendar year was a transitional year, as the remaining amount of prior years’ allowable costs carried forward of approximately $600 million were claimed before the 25% R-C royalty applied to 2004 results.
In February 2006, we advised the Government of Alberta we would not proceed with a July 2004 claim we filed against the Crown where we were seeking to overturn the government’s decision on the royalty treatment of our Firebag in-situ operations.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, Suncor exercised its option to move our Oil Sands operations to the bitumen based royalty regime effective January 1, 2009.
Royalty expense for the company’s Oil Sands operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $911 million (2005 – $406 million; 2004 – $407 million).

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives are financial instruments that either imitate or counter the price movements of stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and interest rates. Suncor uses derivatives to reduce (hedge) its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates and to manage interest or currency-sensitive assets and liabilities. Suncor also uses derivatives for trading purposes. When used in a trading activity, the company is attempting to realize a gain on the fluctuations in the market value of the derivative.
Forwards and futures are contracts to purchase or sell a specific item at a specified date and price. When used as hedges, forwards and futures manage the exposure to losses that could result if commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates change adversely.
An option is a contract where its holder, for a fee, has purchased the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell a specified item at a fixed price during a specified period. Options used as hedges can protect against adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, or foreign currency exchange rates.
A costless collar is a combination of two option contracts that limit the holder’s exposure to change in prices to within a specific range. The “costless” nature of this derivative is achieved by buying a put option (the right to sell) for consideration equal to the premium received from selling a call option (the right to purchase).
A swap is a contract where two parties exchange commodity, currency, interest or other payments in order to alter the nature of the payments. For example, fixed interest rate payments on debt may be converted to payments based on a floating interest rate, or vice versa; a domestic currency debt may be converted to a foreign currency debt.
See below for more technical details and amounts.
(a) Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The company’s financial instruments recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts not accounted for as hedges, substantially all current liabilities (except for the current portions of asset retirement and pension obligations), and long-term debt.
The estimated fair values of recognized financial instruments have been determined based on the company's assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies; however, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction.
The following table summarizes estimated fair value information about the company's financial instruments recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31:

(b) Unrecognized Derivative Financial Instruments
The company is also a party to certain derivative financial instruments that are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as follows:
Revenue, Cost and Margin Hedges
Suncor operates in a global industry where the market price of its petroleum and natural gas products is determined based on floating benchmark indices denominated in U.S. dollars. The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to hedge against the potential adverse impact of changing market prices due to changes in the underlying indices. Specifically, the company manages crude sales price variability by entering into West Texas Intermediate (WTI) derivative transactions. As at December 31, 2006, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated cash flows subject to U.S. dollar WTI commodity price risk for 2007 and 2008. As at December 31, 2006, the company had outstanding costless collar agreements covering 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2007 and 10,000 bpd in 2008. Prices for these barrels are fixed within a range of US$51.64 to US$93.26 per barrel in 2007 and US$59.85 to US$101.06 per barrel in 2008. The company has not hedged any portion of the foreign exchange component of these forecasted cash flows.
At December 31, 2006, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted cash flows related to natural gas production and refinery operations, as well as a portion of its Euro dollar exposure created by the anticipated purchase of equipment payable in Euros in 2007.
The financial instrument contracts do not require the payment of premiums or cash margin deposits prior to settlement. On settlement, these contracts result in cash receipts or payments by the company for the difference between the contract and market rates for the applicable dollars and volumes hedged during the contract term. Such cash receipts or payments offset corresponding decreases or increases in the company’s sales revenues or crude oil purchase costs. For collars, if market rates are not different than, or are within the range of contract prices, the options contracts making up the collar will expire with no exchange of cash. For accounting purposes, amounts received or paid on settlement are recorded as part of the related hedged sales or purchase transactions.

(i) Settlement for applicable forwards occurring within the period April to September 2007.
(j) Settlement for applicable forward was March 2006.
Interest Rate Hedges
The company periodically enters into interest rate swap contracts as part of its risk management strategy to manage its exposure to interest rates. The interest rate swap contracts involve an exchange of floating rate and fixed rate interest payments between the company and investment grade counterparties. The differentials on the exchange of periodic interest payments are recognized in the accounts as an adjustment to interest expense.
The notional amounts of interest rate swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2006, are detailed in note 5, Long-term Debt.
Fair Value of Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments is the estimated amount, based on broker quotes and/ or internal valuation models that the company would receive (pay) to terminate the contracts. Such amounts, which also represent the unrecognized and unrecorded gain (loss) on the contracts, were as follows at December 31:

(c) Energy Marketing and Trading Activities
In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options to earn trading and marketing revenues. The financial trading activities are accounted for using the mark-to-market method and as such, all financial instruments are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date. Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to enhance prices and satisfy physical deliveries to customers. The results of these activities are reported as revenue and as energy trading and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The net pretax earnings (loss) for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

(d) Counterparty Credit Risk
The company may be exposed to certain losses in the event that counterparties to the derivative financial instruments are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The company’s exposure is limited to those counterparties holding derivative contracts with positive fair values at the reporting date. The company minimizes this risk by entering into agreements with counterparties, of which substantially all are investment grade. Risk is also minimized through regular management review of credit ratings and potential exposure to such counterparties. At December 31, the company had exposure to credit risk with counterparties as follows:

The total undiscounted amount of estimated future cash flows required to settle the obligations at December 31, 2006, was approximately $1.7 billion (2005 – $1.2 billion). The liability recognized in 2006 was discounted using the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 5.5% (2005 – 5.6%). Payments to settle the ARO occur on an ongoing basis and will continue over the lives of the operating assets, which can exceed 35 years.
A significant portion of the company’s assets, including the upgrading facilities at the Oil Sands operation and the two downstream refineries located in Sarnia and Commerce City, have retirement obligations for which the fair value cannot be reasonably determined because the assets currently have an indeterminate life. The asset retirement obligation for these assets will be recorded in the first period in which the lives of the assets are determinable.
(b) Employee and Director Incentive Plans
Total employee and director incentive plans also include an additional $32 million in current liabilities (2005 – $4 million).
(c) Environmental Remediation Costs
Total accrued environmental remediation costs also include an additional $17 million in current liabilities (2005 – $14 million). Environmental remediation costs are obligations assumed through the purchase of the Commerce City refineries.

8. EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS LIABILITY
Suncor employees are eligible to receive certain pension, health care and insurance benefits when they retire. The related Benefit Obligation or commitment that Suncor has to employees and retirees at December 31, 2006, was $1,024 million (2005 – $889 million).
As required by government regulations, Suncor sets aside funds with an independent trustee to meet certain of these obligations. In addition, commencing in 2005, the company began to fund its unregistered supplementary pension plan and supplementary executive retirement plan on a voluntary basis. The amount and timing of future funding for these supplementary plans is subject to capital availability and is at the company’s discretion. At the end of December 2006, Plan Assets to meet the Benefit Obligation were $616 million (2005 – $479 million).
The excess of the Benefit Obligation over Plan Assets of $408 million (2005 – $410 million) represents the Net Unfunded Obligation.
See below for more technical details and amounts.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Post-retirement Benefits
The company’s defined benefit pension plans provide non-indexed pension benefits at retirement based on years of service and final average earnings. These obligations are met through funded registered retirement plans and through unregistered supplementary pensions and senior executive retirement plans that, commencing in 2005, are voluntarily funded through retirement compensation arrangements, and/or paid directly to recipients. Company contributions to the funded plans are deposited with independent trustees who act as custodians of the plans’ assets, as well as the disburing agents of the benefits to recipients. Plan assets are managed by an employee pension committee on behalf of beneficiaries. The committee retains independent managers and advisors.
Funding of the registered retirement plans complies with applicable regulations that require actuarial valuations of the pension funds at least once every three years in Canada, depending on funding status, and every year in the United States. The most recent valuation for the Canadian plan was performed in 2004. A valuation of the Canadian plan will be performed in 2007.
The company’s other post-retirement benefits programs are unfunded and include certain health care and life insurance benefits provided to retired employees and eligible surviving dependents.
The expense and obligations for both funded and unfunded benefits are determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP and actuarial principles. Obligations are based on the projected benefit method of valuation that includes employee service to date and present pay levels, as well as a projection of salaries and service to retirement.

In order to measure the expected cost of other post-retirement benefits, a 9.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2006 (2005 – 10%; 2004 – 11.5%). It is assumed that this rate will decrease by 0.5% annually, to 5% by 2015, and remain at that level thereafter.

(c) Pension plan assets are not the company’s assets and therefore are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(d) The unamortized net actuarial loss represents annually calculated differences between actual and projected plan performance. These amounts are amortized as part of the net periodic benefit cost over the expected average remaining service life of employees of 11 years for pension benefits (2005 – 11 years; 2004 – 12 years), and over the expected average future service life to full eligibility age of 10 years for other post-retirement benefits (2005 – 9 years; 2004 – 12 years).
(e) The company uses a measurement date of December 31 to value the plan assets and accrued benefit obligation.

(a) The net periodic benefit cost includes certain accounting adjustments made to allocate costs to the periods in which employee services are rendered, consistent with the long-term nature of the benefits. Costs actually incurred in the period (arising from actual returns on plan assets and actuarial gains and losses in the period) differ from allocated costs recognized.
(b) The expected return on plan assets is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the year. It is based on plan assets at the beginning of the year that have been adjusted on a weighted average basis for contributions and benefit payments expected for the year. The expected return on plan assets is included in the net periodic benefit cost for the year to which it relates, while the difference between it and the actual return realized on plan assets in the same year is amortized over the expected average remaining service life of employees of 11 years for pension benefits.
To estimate the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the company considered the current level of expected returns on the fixed income portion of the portfolio, the historical level of the risk premium associated with other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectation for future returns on each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was weighted based on the policy asset mix to develop an expected long-term rate of return on asset assumption for the portfolio.

Plan Assets and Investment Objectives
The company’s long-term investment objective is to secure the defined pension benefits while managing the variability and level of its contributions. The portfolio is rebalanced periodically as required, while ensuring that the maximum equity content is 65% at any time. Plan assets are restricted to those permitted by legislation, where applicable. Investments are made through pooled, mutual, segregated or exchange traded funds.
The company’s weighted average pension plan asset allocation based on market values as at December 31, 2006 and 2005.and the target allocation for 2007 are as follows:

Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The company has a Canadian defined contribution plan and two U.S. 401(k) savings plans, under which both the company and employees make contributions. Company contributions and corresponding expense totalled $11 million in 2006 (2005 – $10 million; 2004 – $8 million).
9. INCOME TAXES
The assets and liabilities shown on Suncor’s balance sheets are caculated in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Suncor's income taxes are calculated according to government tax laws and regulations, which results in different values for certain assets and liabilities for income tax purposes. These differences are known as temporary differences, because eventually these differences will reverse.
The amount shown on the balance sheets as future income taxes represent income taxes that will eventually be payable or recoverable in future years when these temporary differences reverse.
See next page for more technical details and amounts.

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate that differs from the statutory tax rate. A reconciliation of the two rates and the dollar effect is as follows:

(a) |
| The resource allowance is a federal tax deduction allowed as a proxy for non-deductible provincial Crown royalties. As required by GAAP in Canada, resource allowance is accounted for by adjusting the statutory tax rate by the resource allowance rate. |
(b) |
| During the second quarter of 2006, the federal government substantively enacted a 3.1% reduction to its federal corporate tax rates. Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $292 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances. |
|
|
|
|
| As well, the provincial government of Alberta substantively enacted a 1.5% reduction to its provincial corporate tax rates during the second quarter of 2006. Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $127 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances. |
|
|
|
|
| Effective April 1, 2004, the Alberta provincial corporate tax rate decreased by 1%. In 2003, the Ontario government substantively enacted a general corporate tax rate and manufacturing and processing tax rate increase of 1.5% and 1%, respectively, effective January 1, 2004. Accordingly, in 2004, the company revalued its future income tax liabilities and recognized a decrease in future income tax expense of $53 million. |
In 2006, net income tax payments totalled $36 million (2005 – $77 million; 2004 – $50 million).

10. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, AND GUARANTEES
(a) Operating Commitments
In order to ensure continued availability of, and access to, facilities and services to meet its operational requirements, the company periodically enters into transportation service agreements for pipeline capacity and energy services agreements as well as non-cancellable operating leases for service stations, office space and other property and equipment. Under contracts existing at December 31, 2006, future minimum amounts payable under these leases and agreements are as follows:

| Includes annual tolls payable under transportation service agreements with major pipeline companies to use a portion of their pipeline capacity and tankage, as applicable, including the shipment of crude oil from Fort McMurray to Hardisty, Alberta. The agreements commenced in 1999 and extend up to 2033. As the initial shipper on one of the pipelines, Suncor’s tolls payable are subject to annual adjustments. |
|
|
|
|
| Suncor has commitments under long-term energy agreements to obtain a portion of the power and the steam generated by certain cogeneration facilities owned by a major third party energy company. Since October 1999, this third party has also managed the operations of Suncor’s existing energy services facility at its Oil Sands operations. |
| Suncor Energy Inc. | 093 |
| 2006 Annual Report |
(b) Contingencies
The company is subject to various regulatory and statutory requirements relating to the protection of the environment. These requirements, in addition to contractual agreements and management decisions, result in the recognition of estimated asset retirement obligations. Estimates of retirement obligation costs can change significantly based on such factors as operating experience and changes in legislation and regulations.
The company carries both property damage and business interruption insurance policies with a combined coverage limit of up to US$1.4 billion, net of deductible amounts or waiting periods. The primary property loss policy of US$250 million has a deductible of US$10 million per incident. The excess coverage of US$1.0 billion can be used for either property damage or business interruption coverage for oil sands operations. Excess business interruption coverage begins the greater of 90 days from the date of the incident or US$250 million in gross earnings lost. For the purposes of determining loss for business interruption claims, effective January 1, 2006, the excess coverage has a ceiling of US$40 WTI and effective January 1, 2007, the excess coverage has a lost production maximum of 150,000 barrels per day in addition to the US$40 WTI ceiling. In addition to this coverage, in December 2005, Suncor formed a self-insurance company which offers business interruption coverage for oil sands with a limit of $150 million and a deductible of the greater of 20 days or US$30 million.
The company is defendant and plaintiff in a number of legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The company believes that any liabilities that might arise pertaining to such matters would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position.
Costs attributable to these commitments and contingencies are expected to be incurred over an extended period of time and to be funded from the company’s cash flow from operating activities. Although the ultimate impact of these matters on net earnings cannot be determined at this time, the impact may be material.
(c) Variable Interest Entities, Guarantees and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2006, the company had various off-balance sheet arrangements with Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) and indemnification agreements with third parties as described below.
The company has a securitization program in place to sell, on a revolving, fully serviced and limited recourse basis, up to $170 million of accounts receivable (2005 – $340 million) having a maturity of 45 days or less, to a third party. The third party is a multiple party securitization vehicle that provides funding for numerous asset pools. As at December 31, 2006, $170 million (2005 – $340 million) in outstanding accounts receivable had been sold under the program. Although the company does not believe it has any significant exposure to credit losses, under the recourse provisions, the company provided indemnification against potential credit losses for certain counterparties. This indemnification did not exceed $72 million in 2006 and no contingent liability or earnings impact have been recorded for this indemnification as the company believes it has no significant exposure to credit losses. Proceeds received from new securitizations and proceeds from collections reinvested in securitizations on a revolving basis for the year ended December 31, 2006, were $170 million and approximately $623 million, respectively. The company recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $2 million on the securitization program in 2006 (2005 – $4 million; 2004 – $2 million).
In 1999, the company entered into an equipment sale and leaseback arrangement with a VIE for proceeds of $30 million. The VIE’s sole asset is the equipment sold to it and leased back by the company. The VIE was consolidated effective January 1, 2005. The initial lease term covers a period of seven years and is accounted for as an operating lease. The company repurchased the equipment in 2006 for $21 million. As at December 31, 2006, the VIE did not have any assets or liabilities.
The company has agreed to indemnify holders of the 7.15% notes, the 5.95% notes and the company’s credit facility lenders (see note 5) for added costs relating to taxes, assessments or other government charges or conditions, including any required withholding amounts. Similar indemnity terms apply to the receivables securitization program, and certain facility and equipment leases.
There is no limit to the maximum amount payable under the indemnification agreements described above.

Common Share Options
A common share option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase common shares at a predetermined price over a specified period of time.
After the date of grant, employees and directors that hold options must earn the right to exercise them. This is done by the employee or director fulfilling a time requirement for service to the company, and with respect to certain options, subject to accelerated vesting should the company meet predetermined performance criterion. Once this right has been earned, these options are considered vested.
The predetermined price at which an option can be exercised is equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the options are granted.
See below for more technical details and amounts on the company’s stock option plans:
(i) EXECUTIVE STOCK PLAN Under this plan, the company granted 538,000 common share options in 2006 (2005 – 518,000; 2004 – 1,346,000) to non-employee directors and certain executives and other senior employees of the company. The exercise price of an option is equal to the market value of the common shares at the date of grant. Options granted have a 10-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.
(ii) SUNSHARE PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTION PLAN During 2006, the company granted 1,637,000 options (2005 – 1,253,000; 2004 – 1,742,000) to eligible permanent full-time and part-time employees, both executive and non-executive, under its employee stock option incentive plan (“SunShare”). Under SunShare, meeting specified performance targets accelerates the vesting of some or all options.
On January 31, 2005, in connection with the achievement of a predetermined performance criterion, 2,062,000 SunShare options vested, representing approximately 25% of the then outstanding unvested options under the SunShare plan. On June 30, 2005, an additional predetermined performance criterion under the SunShare plan was met, resulting in the vesting of 50% of the outstanding, unvested SunShare options on April 30, 2008. The remaining 50% of the outstanding, unvested SunShare options may vest on April 30, 2008 if the final predetermined performance criterion is met. If the performance criterion is not met, the unvested options that have not previously expired or been cancelled will automatically vest on January 1, 2012. Management believes that it is highly likely the final performance criterion will be met and that all unvested SunShare options at April 30, 2008 will vest. During the fourth quarter of 2006, stock-based compensation expense was adjusted to reflect this assumption.

| 2006 Annual Report |
(iii) KEY CONTRIBUTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN In 2004, the Board of Directors approved the establishment of the new Key Contributor stock option plan, under which 5,200,000 options were made available for grant to non-insider senior managers and key employees. Under this plan, the company granted 1,050,000 common share options in 2006 (2005 – 901,000; 2004 – nil) to senior managers and key employees. The exercise price of an option is equal to the market value of the common shares at the date of grant. Options granted have a 10-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.
(iv) DEFERRED SHARE UNITS (DSUs) The company had 1,170,000 DSUs outstanding at December 31, 2006 (1,190,000 at December 31, 2005). DSUs were granted to certain executives under the company’s former employee long-term incentive program. Members of the Board of Directors receive one-half, or at their option, all of their compensation in the form of DSUs. DSUs are only redeemable at the time a unitholder ceases employment or Board membership, as applicable.
In 2006, 59,000 DSUs were redeemed for cash consideration of $5 million (2005 – 81,000 redeemed for cash consideration of $5 million; 2004 – no redemption). Over time, DSU unitholders are entitled to receive additional DSUs equivalent in value to future notional dividend reinvestments. Final DSU redemption amounts are subject to change depending on the company’s share price at the time of exercise. Accordingly, the company revalues the DSUs on each reporting date, with any changes in value recorded as an adjustment to compensation expense in the period. As at December 31, 2006, the total liability related to the DSUs was $107 million (2005 – $87 million), of which $2 million (2005 – $4 million) was classified as current.
During 2006, total pretax compensation expense related to DSU’s was $25 million (2005 – $39 million; 2004 – $12 million).
(v) PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS (PSUs) During 2006, the company issued 397,000 PSUs (2005 – 453,000; 2004 – 354,000) under its Performance Share Unit Compensation Plan. PSUs granted replace the remuneration value of reduced grants under the company’s stock option plans. PSUs vest and are settled in cash approximately three years after the grant date to varying degrees (0%, 50%, 100% and 150%) contingent upon Suncor’s performance (performance factor). Performance is measured by reference to the company’s total shareholder return (stock price appreciation and dividend income) relative to a peer group of companies. Expense related to the PSUs is accrued based on the price of common shares at the end of the period and the anticipated performance factor. This expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the grant. Pretax expense recognized for PSUs during 2006 was $42 million (2005 – $21 million; 2004 – $5 million).

13. ACQUISITION OF REFINERY AND RELATED ASSETS
On May 31, 2005, the company acquired all of the issued shares of the Colorado Refining Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Valero Energy Corp. for cash consideration of $37 million. Additional payments for working capital and associated inventory brought the total purchase price to $62 million. The acquired company’s principal assets are a Commerce City refinery and a products terminal located in Grand Junction, Colorado. The allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $79 million for property, plant and equipment, $30 million for inventory and $41 million for environmental liabilities assumed. The fair value assigned to other liabilities was $6 million. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
The results of operations for these assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The new operations have been reported as part of the Refining and Marketing – U.S.A. segment in the Schedules of Segmented Data.

(a) Derivative Financial Instruments
The company accounts for its derivative financial instruments under Canadian GAAP as described in note 6. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (Statement) 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by Statements 138 and 149 (the Standards), establishes U.S. GAAP accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Generally, all derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, and excluding normal purchases and normal sales, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk each period are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in fair value of the derivative are initially recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) each period and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings when the hedged item is recognized. Accordingly, ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are recognized in net earnings immediately for both fair value and cash flow hedges. Gains or losses arising from hedging activities, including the ineffective portion, are reported in the same earnings statement caption as the hedged item.
The determination of hedge effectiveness and the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges is based on internally derived valuations. The company uses these valuations to estimate the fair values of the underlying physical commodity contracts.
Commodity Price Risk
As described in note 6, Suncor manages crude price variability by entering into WTI derivative transactions and has historically, in certain instances, combined U.S. dollar WTI derivative transactions and Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange derivative contracts. As at December 31, 2006, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated cash flows subject to U.S. dollar WTI commodity price risk for 2007 and 2008.
U.S. GAAP requires the company to consider all cash flows arising from forecasted Canadian dollar denominated crude oil sales when measuring the ineffectiveness of its cash flow hedges. In periods of significant Canadian/U.S. dollar foreign exchange fluctuations, material hedge ineffectiveness can result from unhedged foreign exchange exposures. This ineffectiveness arises despite the company’s assessment that its U.S. dollar WTI hedging instruments are highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to its forecasted Canadian dollar denominated crude oil sales.
Under U.S. GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2006, the company would have recognized $5 million of hedging gains relating to forecasted cash flows in 2007 and 2008 (2005 – $2 million ineffectiveness relating to 2006 and 2007 forecasted cash flows). The net earnings impact of this ineffectiveness will not be recognized for Canadian GAAP purposes until the related forecasted sales occur.

| 2006 Annual Report |
Interest Rate Risk
The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy to minimize exposure to changes in cash flows of interest-bearing debt. At December 31, 2006, the company had interest rate derivatives classified as fair value hedges outstanding for up to five years relating to fixed rate debt.
Non-designated Hedging Instruments
In 1999, the company sold inventory and subsequently entered into a derivative contract with an option to repurchase the inventory at the end of five years. The company realized an economic benefit as a result of liquidating a portion of its inventory. The derivative did not qualify for hedge accounting as the company did not have purchase price risk associated with the repurchase of the inventory. This derivative did not represent a U.S. GAAP difference as the company recorded this derivative at fair value for Canadian purposes. The inventory was repurchased in 2004.
Accumulated OCI and U.S. GAAP Net Earnings Impacts
A reconciliation of changes in accumulated OCI attributable to derivative hedging activities for the years ended December 31 is as follows:
($ millions) |
| 2006 |
| 2005 |
|
OCI attributable to derivatives and hedging activities, beginning of the period, net of income taxes of $1 (2005 – $69) |
| 2 |
| (138 | ) |
Current period net changes arising from cash flow hedges, net of income taxes of $4 (2005 – $2) |
| 9 |
| (3 | ) |
Net hedging losses at the beginning of the period reclassified to earnings during the period, net of income taxes of $1 (2005 – $72) |
| (3 | ) | 143 |
|
OCI attributable to derivatives and hedging activities, end of period, net of income taxes of $4 (2005 – $1) |
| 8 |
| 2 |
|
For the year ended December 31, 2006, assets increased by $26 million and liabilities increased by $13 million as a result of recording all derivative instruments at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The earnings gain associated with realized and unrealized hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the period was $5 million, net of income taxes of $3 million (2005 – loss of $3 million, net of income taxes of $2 million; 2004 – loss of $130 million, net of income taxes of $66 million). The company estimates that $2 million of after-tax hedging gains will be reclassified from OCI to current period earnings within the next 12 months as a result of forecasted sales occurring.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, U.S. GAAP net earnings increased by $7 million, net of income taxes of $4 million (2005 – increased net earnings of $55 million, net of income taxes of $28 million; 2004 – increased net earnings of $65 million, net of income taxes of $27 million) to reflect the impact of the above items.
(b) Stock-based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the company adopted the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 123(R) “Share-based Payment,” using the modified-prospective approach. SFAS 123(R) allows the company to expense common share options issued after January 1, 2003 in a manner consistent with Canadian GAAP. The statement requires the recognition of an expense for employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The cost is to be recognized over the period for which an employee is required to provide the service in exchange for the award. In addition, the statement requires recognition of compensation expense for the portion of outstanding unvested awards granted prior to the effective date.
Under Canadian GAAP, the company’s Performance Share Units (PSUs) are measured using an intrinsic approach, a fair-value technique not permitted under U.S. GAAP. After adoption of SFAS 123(R), our PSUs for U.S. GAAP have been measured using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach to determine fair value. This change results in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting policy of $4 million, net of income taxes of $2 million. The impact on net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006, is an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $3 million, net of income taxes of $1 million.
Under Canadian GAAP, compensation expense related to common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 (“pre-2003 options”) is not recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. SFAS 123(R) requires the immediate recognition of expense related to the unvested portion of the company’s pre-2003 options. This resulted in an increase to stock-based compensation expense of $15 million (there was no impact on income taxes) for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(c) Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 “Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit and Other Post-retirement Plans.” The standard requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability on the balance sheet. The changes to funded status in the year are recorded through comprehensive income, net of tax. This standard has been applied prospectively effective December 31, 2006, as retrospective application is not permitted.
For the current year up to the adoption of SFAS 158 on December 31, 2006, and for prior year comparative balances previously disclosed under U.S. GAAP, recognition of an additional minimum pension liability is required when the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets to the extent that such excess is greater than accrued pension costs otherwise recorded. For the purpose of determining the additional minimum pension liability, the accumulated benefit obligation does not incorporate projections of future compensation increases in the determination of the obligation. No such adjustment is required under Canadian GAAP. As required under SFAS 158, the minimum pension liability adjustment from prior years is reversed in the current year.
At December 31, 2006, the company would have recognized a minimum pension liability of $35 million (2005 – $87 million), an intangible asset of $16 million (2005 – $9 million) and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $12 million, net of income taxes of $7 million (2005 – $51 million, net of income taxes of $27 million). Other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2006, would have increased by $39 million, net of income taxes of $20 million (2005 – a decrease of $15 million, net of taxes of $8 million; 2004 – an increase in other comprehensive income of $5 million, net of income taxes of $3 million).
Under U.S. GAAP, the impact on future benefit obligations recorded to the balance sheet as at December 31, 2006, as a result of adopting SFAS 158 are as follows:
• Unfunded pension benefits – $177 million
• Unfunded other post-retirement benefits – $29 million
In total, other comprehensive income was decreased by $139 million, net of income taxes at December 31, 2006.

• Amortization of net actuarial loss – $29 million
• Amortization of past service costs – $nil
(d) Cumulative Foreign Currency Translation
Under Canadian GAAP, foreign currency gains of $10 million (2005 – losses of $26 million; 2004 – losses of $29 million) arising on translation of the company’s U.S. based foreign operations have been recorded directly to shareholders’ equity. Under U.S. GAAP, these foreign currency translation losses would be included as a component of comprehensive income.
(e) Suspended Exploratory Well Costs
Effective January 1, 2005, Suncor adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position 19-1 (FSP 19-1) “Accounting for Suspended Well Costs.” FSP 19-1 amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19 (FAS 19) “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies,” to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well

| 2006 Annual Report |
costs beyond one year if (a) the well found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. There were no capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense upon the adoption of FSP 19-1.
The table below provides details of the changes in the balance of suspended exploratory well costs as well as an aging summary of those costs.

(f) Accounting for Purchases and Sales Inventory with the Same Counterparty
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Abstract No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” addresses when it is appropriate to measure purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty at fair value and record them in revenues and cost of sales and when they should be recorded as exchanges measured at the book value of the item sold. The EITF concluded that purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another should be combined and recorded as exchanges measured at the book value of the item sold (reported net versus gross). The EITF is effective for transactions entered into subsequent to April 1, 2006.
As required by EITF 04-13, we record certain crude oil, natural gas, petroleum product and chemical purchases and sales entered into contemporaneously with the same counterparty on a net basis within the “purchases of crude oil and products” line in the statements of earnings. These transactions are undertaken to ensure that the appropriate crude oil is at the appropriate refineries when required and that the appropriate products are available to meet customer demands. These transactions take place in the oil sands and downstream operating segments.
In addition, the R&M segment sells finished product and buys coker gas oil as a raw material to be used in the refining process from the same counterparty under terms specified in a single contract. These sales and purchases, as noted in the table below, are recorded at fair value in “revenue” and “purchases of crude oil and products” in the statements of income in accordance with the consensus for Issue 2 in EITF 04-13.
The purchase/sale of contract amounts included in revenue for 2006, 2005 and 2004 are shown below.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” The standard, effective January 1, 2008, establishes a recognized framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures relating to fair value inputs. No new fair value measurements are required. This Statement is generally to be applied prospectively and does not have an impact on earnings or financial position.
In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The standard, effective January 1, 2007, requires recognition of uncertain tax positions only where positions are determined to be more likely than not, defined as greater than 50%, to be sustained on audit. All tax positions will be required to meet the recognition threshold as of the effective date of this standard, with the cumulative effect of application shown as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The effect of this standard has not yet been determined.

(a) | Refining and Marketing – U.S.A. reflects the results of operations since acquisitions on August 1, 2003 and May 31, 2005. |
(b) | Capital employed – the sum of shareholders’ equity plus short-term debt and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, less capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable). |
(c) | Net earnings adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (income) for the 12 month period ended; divided by average capital employed. Average capital employed is the sum of shareholders’ equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning and end of the year, divided by two, less average capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable). Return on capital employed (ROCE) for Suncor operating segments presented in the Quarterly Operating Summary is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated ROCE. For a detailed annual reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure see page 58 of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. |
(d) | If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress, the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line. |
(e) | Net earnings as a percentage of average shareholders’ equity. Average shareholders’ equity is the sum of total shareholders’ equity at the beginning and end of the year divided by two. |
(f) | Short-term debt plus long-term debt; divided by the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and shareholders’ equity. |
(g) | Short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents; divided by cash flow from operations for the year then ended. |
(h) | Cash flow from operations plus current income taxes and interest expense; divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest. |

Corporate governance
Providing strategic guidance to the company, setting policy direction and ensuring Suncor is fairly reporting its progress are central to the work of Suncor’s Board of Directors.
The Board’s oversight role encompasses Suncor’s strategic planning process, risk management, standards of business conduct and communication with investors and other stakeholders. Suncor’s Board is also responsible for selecting, monitoring and evaluating executive leadership and aligning management’s decision making with long-term shareholder interest.
There are no significant differences between Suncor’s governance practices and those prescribed by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with the exception of the requirements applicable to equity compensation plans. A comprehensive description of Suncor’s governance practices, including differences between Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and NYSE requirements related to equity compensation plans, is available in the company’s Management Proxy Circular on Suncor’s website at www.suncor.com/financialreporting or by calling 1-800-558-9071.
Independence
As of December 31, 2006, Suncor’s Board of Directors comprised 12 directors, 11 of whom have been determined by the Board to be independent of management under the guidelines established by the TSX and NYSE. The role of chair is assumed by an independent director and is separate from the role of chief executive officer. All Board committees are comprised entirely of independent directors.
The selection of new nominees for membership on the Board is conducted by the Board Policy, Strategy Review and Governance Committee, comprised solely of independent directors. The selection process includes an annual assessment of the competencies and skills the Board as a whole should possess, and of current director capabilities. The Board Policy, Strategy Review and Governance Committee utilizes the services of executive search consulting firms to assist with the selection process. Ultimately, the committee provides its recommendation to the full Board, which approves a nominee for submission to shareholders for election to the Board.
Additionally, the committee annually assesses and evaluates the overall performance and effectiveness of the Board, its committees, and individual directors. Each year, a confidential questionnaire including a self-assessment and peer review is completed by each director. The resulting data is analyzed by the Board Policy, Strategy Review and Governance Committee, which then reports to the full Board with any recommendations for enhancing or strengthening effectiveness.
