================================================================================


1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     These interim consolidated financial statements of Harvest Energy Trust
     (the "Trust") 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. Except as noted below,
     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, 2004 and should be
     read in conjunction with that report. Certain comparative figures have been
     reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

     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.


     a)  Convertible debentures

         The Trust presents its convertible debentures in their debt and equity
         component parts, where applicable, as follows:

         (i)      The debt component represents the total discounted present
                  value of the semi-annual interest obligations to be satisfied
                  by cash and the principal payment due at maturity, using the
                  rate of interest that would have been applicable to a
                  non-convertible debt instrument of comparable term and risk at
                  the date of issue. Typically, this results in a lower
                  accounting value assigned to the debt component of the
                  convertible debentures compared to the principal amount due at
                  maturity. The debt component amount presented on the balance
                  sheet increases over the term of the relevant debenture to the
                  full face value of the outstanding debentures. The difference
                  is reflected as increased interest expense with the result
                  that adjusted interest expense reflects the effective yield of
                  the debt component of the convertible debenture.

         (ii)     The equity component of the convertible debentures is
                  presented under "Unitholders' Equity" in the consolidated
                  balance sheets. The equity component represents the value
                  ascribed to the conversion right granted to the holder, which
                  remains a fixed amount over the term of the debentures. Upon
                  conversion of the debentures into units by the holders, a
                  proportionate amount is transferred to Unitholders' capital.


     b)  Non-controlling interest

         Non-controlling interest represents the exchangeable shares issued by a
         subsidiary of the Trust to third parties which are ultimately
         exchangeable for units of the Trust. These exchangeable shares were
         issued as partial consideration for the acquisition of Storm Energy
         Ltd. in 2004. Non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance
         sheet is recognized based on the fair value of the exchangeable shares
         on issuance together with a portion of the Trust's accumulated earnings
         attributable to the non-controlling interest generated subsequent to
         their issuance. Net income is reduced for the portion of earnings
         attributable to the non-controlling interest. As the exchangeable
         shares are converted to Trust Units, the non-controlling interest on
         the consolidated balance sheet is reduced on a pro-rata basis together
         with a corresponding increase in Unitholders' capital.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY


     a)  Financial Instruments

         On January 1, 2005, the Trust retroactively adopted the amendment to
         the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") handbook
         section 3860 "FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - DISCLOSURE AND PRESENTATION"
         ("Section 3860"). These changes require that fixed-amount contractual
         obligations that can be settled by issuing a variable number of equity
         instruments be classified as liabilities. The convertible debentures
         and the equity bridge notes previously issued by the Trust have
         characteristics that meet the noted criteria.

         CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

         The principal of the convertible debentures may be redeemed, at the
         option of the Trust on or after a predetermined date, and may, at the
         option of the Trust be redeemed through the issuance of units. The
         number of units issued varies depending on the weighted average market
         price of the units for the preceding 20 consecutive trading days, five
         days prior to the settlement date.

         The convertible debentures also have an option that allows the holder
         to convert the debentures into a fixed number of units. In accordance
         with CICA handbook section 3860, the convertible debentures have been
         reclassified from equity to long term debt with a portion, representing
         the value of the equity conversion feature, remaining in equity.

         EQUITY BRIDGE NOTES

         Under the terms of the equity bridge notes, the interest and principal
         may have, at the option of the Trust, been repaid in Trust Units. The
         number of Trust Units issued would have been dependent on the market
         value of the units at the time of issue. As at March 31, 2005 and
         December 31, 2004 there were no equity bridge notes payable. However,
         for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended
         December 31, 2004 interest payments had been made related to these
         notes. In accordance with the amended CICA handbook section 3860, these
         notes would have been classified as debt rather than equity. The
         interest associated with these notes has been reflected in these
         consolidated financial statements as a direct charge to income rather
         than to equity as it was previously classified.

     b)  Exchangeable shares

         On January 19, 2005, the CICA issued EIC-151 "EXCHANGEABLE SECURITIES
         ISSUED BY SUBSIDIARIES OF INCOME TRUSTS" ("EIC-151") that states that
         equity interests held by third parties in subsidiaries of an income
         trust should be reflected as either non-controlling interest or debt in
         the consolidated balance sheet unless they meet certain criteria.
         EIC-151 requires that the shares be non-transferable in order to be
         classified as equity. The exchangeable shares issued by Harvest
         Operations Corp. are transferable and, in accordance with EIC-151, have
         been reclassified to non-controlling interest on the consolidated
         balance sheet. In addition, a provision for non-controlling interest is
         reflected on the consolidated statement of income. Prior periods have
         been retroactively restated.

4.   ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

     The Trust's asset retirement obligation results from net ownership
     interests in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites,
     gathering systems and processing facilities. The Trust estimates the total
     undiscounted amount of its asset retirement obligation is approximately
     $336 million, the majority of which will be settled between 2015 and 2023.
     A credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 10 percent was used to calculate the
     fair value of the asset retirement obligation on the consolidated balance
     sheet.



     A reconciliation of the asset retirement obligations is provided below:

     On February 28, 2005, the Trust declared a special distribution to be made
     to unitholders' on April 15, 2005. The special distribution will be paid in
     units, with each unitholder of record on March 31, 2005 receiving 0.01098
     of a Trust Unit per Trust unit held on that date. Although this special
     distribution is deemed payable as at December 31, 2004, for tax purposes,
     pursuant to the terms of Harvest's trust indenture, it has been reflected
     in the financial statements in the period it was formally declared by the
     Board of Directors of Harvest Operations Corp. As a result, at March 31,
     2005, unitholders' capital was increased by $10.7 million with a
     corresponding increase to accumulated distributions as a result of the
     special distribution.

    (A) BASED ON WEIGHTED AVERAGE UNIT APPRECIATION RIGHTS OUTSTANDING

     Prior to December 31, 2004, the Trust utilized the fair value method to
     account for its unit rights plan. The fair value of each Trust Unit right
     was estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions.



                                                                                                        Three Months Ended

     For the purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of all
     of the trust unit rights is amortized to expense over the vesting periods.
     The Trust's pro forma net income and per trust amounts would have been
     accounted for as follows:

         The Trust retroactively applied EIC-151 "Exchangeable Securities Issued
         by a Subsidiary of an Income Trust" in the first quarter of 2005. The
         non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet consists of
         the fair value of the exchangeable shares upon issuance plus the
         accumulated earnings attributable to such non-controlling interest less
         conversions to date. On the consolidated statement of income the
         non-controlling interest represents the share of net income
         attributable to the non-controlling interest based on the Trust Units
         issuable for exchangeable shares in proportion to total Trust Units
         issued and issuable at each period end.

     (A) SUBSEQUENT TO MARCH 31, 2005, THE CONVERSION PRICE FOR THE $60 MILLION
         DEBENTURE AND THE $100 MILLION DEBENTURE CHANGED AS A RESULT OF THE
         SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. THE CONVERSION PRICE CHANGED TO $13.85 AND
         $16.07, RESPECTIVELY.


     As at January 1, 2005, the Trust adopted the amended CICA Handbook Section
     3860 relating to the classification of liabilities that may be settled with
     a variable number of equity instruments such as Trust Units. The adoption
     has resulted in the convertible debentures being classified as debt rather
     than equity, with a small portion remaining in equity representing the
     value associated with the conversion feature. As the debentures are
     converted, a portion of the debt and equity amounts are transferred to
     Unitholders' capital. The debt balance associated with the convertible
     debentures accretes over time to the amount owing on maturity, and such
     increases in the debt balance are reflected as non-cash interest expense in
     the statement of income.



     The following table summarizes the issuance and subsequent conversions of
     the convertible debentures:

10.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Trust is exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations in
     commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates in the normal
     course of operations.

     (a) INTEREST RATE RISK

         The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank debt. All of the
         Trust's other debt has fixed interest rates.

     (b) CREDIT RISK

         Substantially all accounts receivable are due from customers in the oil
         and natural gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit
         risks. Concentration of credit risk is mitigated by having a broad
         customer base, which includes a significant number of companies engaged
         in joint operations with the Trust. The Trust periodically assesses the
         financial strength of its partners and customers, including parties
         involved in marketing or other commodity arrangements. The carrying
         value of accounts receivable reflects management's assessment of the
         associated credit risks.

     (c) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE RISK

         The Trust is exposed to the risk of changes in the Canadian/US dollar
         exchange rate on sales of commodities that are denominated in US
         dollars or directly influenced by US dollar benchmark prices. In
         addition, the Trust's senior notes are denominated in US dollars
         (US$250 million). These notes act as an economic hedge to help offset
         the impact of exchange rate movements on commodity sales during the
         year. As at March 31, 2005 the full balance of the notes is still
         outstanding and is not repayable until October 15, 2011. Interest is
         payable semi-annually on the notes in US dollars.

     (d) COMMODITY RISK MANAGEMENT

         The Trust uses fixed price oil sales contracts and derivative financial
         instruments to manage its commodity price exposure. Under the terms of
         some of the derivative instruments, the Trust is required to provide
         security from time to time based on the underlying market value of
         those contracts. The Trust is also exposed to counterparty risk for
         these derivative contracts. This risk is managed by diversifying the
         Trust's derivative portfolio among a number of counterparties and by
         dealing with large investment grade institutions.

     At March 31, 2005, the net unrealized loss position reflected on the
     balance sheet for all the financial derivative contracts outstanding at
     that date was approximately $86.1 million.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the total unrealized loss
     recognized in the statement of income was $74.7 million ($5.5 million -
     March 31, 2004). The realized losses on all derivative contracts are
     included in the period in which they are incurred. Both of these amounts
     are reflected in gains and losses on derivative contracts on the statement
     of income.

     At October 1, 2004, the Trust discontinued hedge accounting for all of its
     derivative financial instruments. For those contracts where hedge
     accounting had previously been applied, a deferred charge or gain was
     recorded equal to the fair value of the contracts at the time hedge
     accounting was discontinued with a corresponding amount recorded in the
     derivative contracts balance. The deferred charge or gain is subsequently
     recognized in income in the period in which the underlying transaction is
     recognized.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005, $4.4 million ($5.5 - three
     months ended March 31, 2004) of the deferred charge and $445,000 (nil -
     March 31, 2004) of the deferred gain has been amortized and recorded in
     gains and losses on derivative contracts in the statement of income. At
     March 31, 2005, $6.4 million ($10.8 million - December 31, 2004) and $1.7
     million ($2.2 million - December 31, 2004) has been recorded as a deferred
     charge and a deferred gain, respectively on the balance sheet, relating to
     derivatives.

12.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     A director and a corporation controlled by a director of Harvest Operations
     Corp., were repaid $25 million under the equity bridge notes during the
     three month period ended March 31, 2004. The Trust also paid $850,300 of
     accrued interest during the year. [Note 5]

     A corporation controlled by a director of Harvest Operations Corp. sublets
     office space and is provided administrative services on a cost recovery
     basis.


13. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

     From time to time, the Trust is involved in litigation or has claims
     brought against it in the normal course of business operations. Management
     of the Trust is not currently aware of any claims or actions that would
     materially affect the Trust's reported financial position or results from
     operations.

     In the normal course of operations, management may also enter into certain
     types of contracts that require the Trust to indemnify parties against
     possible third party claims, particularly when these contracts relate to
     purchase and sale agreements. The terms of such contracts vary and
     generally a maximum is not explicitly stated; as such the overall maximum
     amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Management does
     not believe payments, if any, related to such contracts would have a
     material affect on the Trust's reported financial position or results from
     operations.

     The Trust has letters of credit outstanding in the amount of approximately
     $5 million related to electricity infrastructure usage. These letters are
     provided by Harvest Operations' lenders pursuant to its secured senior
     credit facility. These letters expire throughout 2005, and are expected to
     be renewed as required.
