NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as, and should be read in conjunction with, the most recent annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy change as described in note 2, Change in Accounting Policies. Certain information and disclosures normally required to be included in notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly Suncor Energy Inc.'s (Suncor) financial position at March 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Certain prior period comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2009, the company retroactively adopted Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook section 3064 "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". This new standard replaces section 3062 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and section 3450 "Research and Development Costs", and focuses on the criteria for asset recognition in the financial statements, including those internally developed. The impact of adopting this standard resulted in a change in the classification of our deferred maintenance shutdown costs that had previously been classified within other assets and amortized over the period to the next shutdown, as follows:

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS


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 rate 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 help to 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 help to 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 changes 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.

Hedge accounting is a method for recognizing the gains, losses, revenues and expenses associated with the items in a hedging relationship at the time when the underlying transaction impacts earnings. Suncor has elected to use hedge accounting on certain derivatives linked to future commodity and financial transactions.

See below for more technical details and amounts.


(a)  Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The company's financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, substantially all current liabilities (except for the current portions of asset retirement and pension obligations and future income tax), and long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, carrying values reflect the current fair value of the company's financial instruments.

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 based on industry accepted third-party models; however, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction.

The company's fixed-term debt is accounted for under the amortized cost method. Upon initial recognition, the cost of the debt is its fair value, adjusted for any associated transaction costs. We do not recognize gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of this debt until the gains or losses are realized. Gains or losses on our U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt resulting from changes in the exchange rate are recognized in the period in which they occur. At March 31, 2009, the carrying value of our fixed-term debt accounted for under the amortized cost method was $6.8 billion (December 31, 2008 – $6.7 billion) and the fair value was $5.4 billion (December 31, 2008 – $5.4 billion).

(b)  Hedges – documented as part of a qualifying hedge relationship

Fair Value Hedges

At March 31, 2009, the company had interest rate swaps classified as fair value hedges outstanding until August 2011, relating to fixed-rate debt. There was no ineffectiveness recognized on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.

The earnings impact associated with hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts to hedge risks specific to individual transactions during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was a loss of $1 million net of income taxes of less than $1 million (2008 – loss of $1 million, net of income taxes of $1 million).

Cash Flow Hedges

At March 31, 2009, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted cash flows subject to natural gas price risk. There was no earnings impact associated with realized and unrealized hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.

Fair Value of Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments as recorded, is the estimated amount that the company would receive (pay) to terminate the hedging derivative contracts. Such amounts, which also represent the unrealized gain (loss) on the contracts, were as follows:

Financial Risk Factors

The company is exposed to a number of different financial risks arising from normal course business exposures, as well as the company's use of financial instruments. These risk factors include market risks relating to commodity prices, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, as well as liquidity risk and credit risk.

The company maintains a formal governance process to manage its financial risks. The company's Risk Management Committee (RMC) is charged with the oversight of the company's risk management for trading risk management activities which are defined as strategic hedging, optimization trading, marketing and speculative trading. The RMC, acting under board authority, meets regularly to monitor limits on risk exposures, review policy compliance and validate risk-related methodologies and procedures. All risk management activity is carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision with the appropriate financial and management controls.

At March 31, 2009, the company's exposure to risks associated arising from the use of financial instruments had not changed significantly from December 31, 2008, except for our sensitivity related to commodity price risk.

Changes in commodity prices on our financial contracts would have the following impact on our net earnings and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2009:

4. CAPITAL STRUCTURE FINANCIAL POLICIES

The company's primary capital management objective is to maintain a solid investment-grade credit rating profile. This objective affords the company the financial flexibility and access to the capital it requires to execute on its growth objectives.

The company monitors capital through two key ratios: net debt to cash flow from operations and total debt to total debt plus shareholders' equity.

Net debt to cash flow from operations is calculated as short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the twelve month trailing cash flow from operations.

Total debt to total debt plus shareholders' equity is calculated as short term-debt plus long-term debt divided by short-term debt plus long-term debt plus shareholders' equity.

The company's strategy during the first quarter of 2009, which was unchanged from 2008, was to maintain the measure set out in the following schedule. The company believes that maintaining our capital target helps to provide the company access to capital at a reasonable cost by maintaining solid investment-grade credit ratings. The company operates in a cyclical business environment and ratios may periodically fall outside of management targets.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


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 non-employee directors that hold options must earn the right to exercise them. This is done by the holder fulfilling a time requirement for service to the company, and with respect to certain options, is subject to accelerated vesting should the company meet predetermined performance criteria. 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 option is granted.

A performance vesting share unit is an award entitling employees to receive cash to varying degrees contingent upon the company's shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies.

A restricted share unit is a time-vested award with a three-year term entitling employees to receive cash.


(a) Stock Option Plans:

(i) SunShare 2012 Performance Stock Option Plan

The company granted 493,000 options in the first quarter of 2009 (230,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2008) to all eligible permanent full-time and part-time employees, both executive and non-executive, under its SunShare 2012 performance stock option plan. During 2008, in connection with the achievement of a predetermined performance criterion, 25% of the outstanding options vested under the SunShare 2012 plan and will become exercisable on January 1, 2010. The remaining 75% of outstanding options may vest on January 1, 2013 if further specified performance targets are met. All unvested options at January 1, 2013, which have not previously expired or been cancelled, will automatically expire.

(ii) Executive Stock Plan

Under this plan, the company granted 711,000 common share options in the first quarter of 2009 (802,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2008) to non-employee directors and certain executives and other senior members of the company. Options granted have a ten-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.

(iii) Key Contributor Stock Option Plan

Under this plan, the company granted 565,000 common share options in the first quarter of 2009 (2,340,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2008) to non-insider senior managers and key employees. Options granted have a ten-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.

Fair Value of Options Granted

The fair values of all common share options granted during the period are estimated as at the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation approach for the SunShare 2012 option plan and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for all other option plans. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted during the various periods and the weighted-average assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

10. ROYALTIES

For a description of the Alberta Crown royalty regimes in effect for our oil sands operations, see page 15 of our 2008 Annual Report.

Our current estimation of Alberta Crown royalties is based on regulations and crown agreements currently in effect. Alberta Crown royalties in effect for each of our oil sands projects 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 at 25% to 40% (the R-C Royalty), subject to a minimum payment of 1% to 9% of R (the Minimum Royalty).

Inquiries John Rogers (403) 269-8670                                                                                                                                      2009 First Quarter    033


Changes in crude oil and natural gas pricing, production volumes, foreign exchange rates, and capital and operating costs for each oil sands project; changes resulting from regulatory audits of prior year filings; changes in legislation and the occurrence of unexpected events all have the potential to have an impact on oil sands royalties payable to the Crown.

The oil sands royalty expense was $8 million for the first three months of 2009, compared to $282 million for the first three months of 2008. The lower expense was due to a significant decrease in price realizations in this quarter, causing royalty eligible operating costs and capital expenditures to exceed revenues related to bitumen, less related transportation costs. As a result, royalties were paid on 1% of R instead of 25% of R minus C. In addition, effective January 1, 2009, revenues from our base mine operations are now based on bitumen values (previously based on synthetic crude oil) with a corresponding exclusion of upgrading costs from royalty eligibility.

The balance of the consolidated royalty expense is in respect of natural gas royalties of $23 million (2008 – $40 million).

If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2009 – $19,757 million; 2008 – $14,256 million), the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

(4)
Short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by cash flow from operations for the twelve month period then ended.

(5)
Net earnings plus income taxes and interest expense, divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

(6)
Cash flow from operations plus current income taxes and interest expense; divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

(7)
Short-term debt plus long-term debt; divided by the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and shareholders' equity.

Quarterly Operating Summary (continued)

Non GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures referred to in the Highlights and Quarterly Operating Summary are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Suncor includes cash flow from operations, return on capital employed and cash and total operating costs per barrel data because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity. The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Definitions

(1) Total operations production     Total operations production includes total production from both mining and in-situ operations, as well as volumes processed for Petro-Canada on a fee-for-service basis.
(2) Average sales price     This operating statistic is calculated before royalties and net of related transportation costs (including or excluding the impact of realized hedging activities as noted).
(3) Cash operating costs – Total operations     Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense, taxes other than income taxes and the cost of bitumen imported from third parties. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure see Management's Discussion and Analysis.
(4) Total cash operating costs – Total operations     Include cash operating costs – Total operations as defined above and cash start-up costs. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes.
(5) Total operating costs – Total operations     Include total cash operating costs – Total operations as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes.
(6) Cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production     Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense and taxes other than income taxes. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.
(7) Total cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production     Include cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production as defined above and cash start-up operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.
(8) Total operating costs – In-situ bitumen production     Include total cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.

Explanatory Notes

*   Excludes the impact of realized hedging activities.
**   Currently production is located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.
***   Excludes exploratory wells in progress.
****   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.

 

(a)   thousands of barrels per day   (d)   millions of cubic feet per day   (g)   dollars per thousand cubic feet
(b)   dollars per barrel   (e)   thousands of barrels of oil equivalent per day   (h)   thousands of cubic metres per day
(c)   dollars per barrel rounded to the nearest $0.05   (f)   millions of cubit feet equivalent per day   (i)   $ millions
