EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 40-F filed on March 31, 2006 (the “Original Filing”) of Baytex Energy Trust (the “Trust”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, is being filed for the purpose of filing the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) of the Trust for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, including the auditors' report with respect thereto; and to reflect changes resulting from a restatement of the Financial Statements to amend previously issued reconciliations between financial statements prepared under Canadian GAAP and U.S.GAAP. In December 2006, the Trust’s management and the audit committee of the board of directors determined to restate the previously issued Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The Financial Statements have been amended to reflect the effects of the restatement. See detailed discussion of the restatement in Note 19 to the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements have not been updated to reflect other events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or to modify or update any disclosures affected by subsequent events.

For U.S. readers of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as further described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Trust has determined that certain adjustments are required to restate the reconciliation of differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP. The Trust has determined that components of that reconciliation were accounted for incorrectly for the 2005 and prior years. In aggregate, the required amendments result in an increase in accumulated earnings as reported under United States generally accepted accounting principles of $170.6 million ($Cdn) to December 31, 2005. Net income for 2005 under U.S. GAAP decreased by Cdn.$6.9 million ($0.10 per unit).

In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment, we are including as exhibits certain currently dated certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This Amendment has no effect on the Annual Information Form or other information presented in the Original Filing. Therefore, this Amendment should be read together with other documents that the Trust has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Information in such reports and documents updates and supersedes certain information contained in this Amendment. The filing of this Amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Filing, when made, included any known, untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.
