NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. REPORTING ENTITY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor or the company) is an integrated energy company headquartered in Canada. Suncor's operations include oil sands development and upgrading, onshore and offshore oil and gas production, petroleum refining, and product marketing primarily under the Petro-Canada brand. The consolidated financial statements of the company comprise the company and its subsidiaries and the company's interests in associates and jointly controlled entities.

The address of the company's registered office is 150 - 6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E3.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), specifically International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as at April 29, 2013, the date the Audit Committee approved these statements on behalf of the Board of Directors.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policies disclosed in the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Those accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except as described in note 3.

(c) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the company's functional currency.

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgment

The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgment used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND AMENDED IFRS STANDARDS

Impact of the application of IFRS 11

Effective January 1, 2013, the company has adopted IFRS 11 Joint arrangements. IFRS 11 establishes a principle-based approach to the accounting for joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement and limits the application of proportionate consolidation accounting to arrangements where sufficient rights and obligations are passed to the partners. As a result, two existing joint arrangements in the Refining and Marketing segment were reclassified as joint ventures. They were previously accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method and are now being accounted for using the equity method of accounting. This change does not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements, but does result in the netting of revenues and expenses for these entities into Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and the netting of the equity pickup and cash distribution within Other in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the company's net investment in these entities has been presented in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Impact of the application of IAS 19

Effective January 1, 2013, the company has adopted the amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits. The revised standard requires the recognition of interest cost on the net unfunded obligation, which is calculated based on the net unfunded obligation and the discount rate used to measure the employee benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period. Previously, interest cost was calculated as the difference between interest income on plan assets (using the expected return on plan assets) and interest expense on the plan obligation (using the discount rate). The net interest costs are also now presented within Financing Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. These costs were previously included within Operating, Selling and General expense. In addition, as a result of the change to the interest cost calculation, the refundable tax accounts (RTA) are now present valued. Previously, RTAs were assigned 0% rate of return in calculating the return on plan assets and interest cost. This resulted in an immaterial adjustment to the Consolidated Balance Sheets noted below.

IFRS 11 and the amendments to IAS 19 have been applied retroactively, and the effects of the application of IFRS 11 and IAS 19 amendments on the comparative periods are shown in the tables below.

In September 2012, the company completed its first Normal Course Issuer Bid and put option program, and also announced a second Normal Course Issuer Bid program to purchase for cancellation of up to $1.0 billion of its common shares between September 20, 2012 and September 19, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the company purchased 12.8 million (2012 – 5.5 million) common shares for total consideration of $405 million (2012 – $183 million). Of the amount recognized, $168 million (2012 – $71 million) was charged to share capital and $237 million (2012 – $112 million) to retained earnings.

The company has also recorded a liability of $95 million for share purchases that may take place during its internal blackout period under an automatic repurchase plan agreement with an independent broker. Of the liability recognized, $41 million was charged to share capital and $54 million to retained earnings.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted a notice filed by the company to amend its NCIB and purchase with the intent for cancellation up to an additional $2 billion of its common shares, commencing May 2, 2013 and ending September 19, 2013.

Options with tandem stock appreciation rights or cash payment alternatives are accounted for as cash-settled plans. As these awards can be exchanged for common shares of the company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the company's diluted net earnings per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period. Accounting for these awards as equity-settled was determined to have the most dilutive impact for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

10. PROVISIONS

During the first quarter of 2013, there was a net decrease of $6 million to the decommissioning and restoration provision, which was comprised of a $138 million decrease as a result of an increase to the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to 3.93% (December 31, 2012 – 3.75%). This was offset by an increase of $132 million as a result of acquiring the 49% interest in the Voyageur Upgrader Limited Partnership (VULP) and the timing of certain reclamation activities being accelerated due to the Voyageur upgrader project not proceeding (see note 12).

At March 31, 2013, the balance in decommissioning and restoration provisions was $4,602 million (December 31, 2012 – $4,688 million), of which $612 million was current (December 31, 2012 – $395 million).

12. VOYAGEUR UPGRADER PROJECT

Effective March 27, 2013, the company acquired Total E&P Canada Ltd.'s (Total E&P) interest in VULP for $515 million and gained full control over the partnership assets. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.

Management applies judgment in determining whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business combination or an asset purchase. When a transaction meets the definition of a business combination, the acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, including contingent liabilities, are measured and recognized at their fair value on the date of the acquisition, including tax assets and liabilities. Associated transaction costs are expensed when occurred.

As VULP was in the development stage and therefore had no revenues and the majority of costs were capitalized, no significant net earnings were generated.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on current best estimates by the company. The completion of the purchase price allocation may result in further adjustment to the carrying value of the recorded assets and liabilities acquired.

Suncor Energy Inc.            
                                                                                                                                      2013 First Quarter    063


The fair value of consideration transferred and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are summarized below:

($ millions)

         
 

Total purchase price

    515    
 

Preliminary allocation of purchase price:

         

Property, plant and equipment

    374    

Deferred income taxes

    312    

Decommissioning and restoration provisions

    (81 )  

Contracts and liabilities acquired

    (90 )  
 

Net assets acquired

    515    
 

The fair value attributed to the property, plant and equipment acquired was based on an expected future cash flow approach for assets expected to be retained, with a risk adjusted discount rate of 10%. For assets expected to be sold, the fair value was determined based on management's best estimate of the recoverable amount.

The fair value of the decommissioning and restoration provisions was determined based on management's best estimate of the costs to complete the reclamation activities, the timing of cash outflows, method of reclamation, the discount rate or management's anticipated use of the area in the future.

Following the acquisition, the company announced that it was not proceeding with the Voyageur upgrader project. The decision was a result of a joint strategic and economic review launched by the company and its co-owner, Total E&P, in response to a change in market conditions that challenged the economics of the project.

The total net book value of the assets retained as at March 31, 2013 is approximately $800 million, and includes a hot bitumen blending facility, storage tanks and a camp which the company plans to utilize to support the continued growth in its Oil Sands operations.

As a result of not proceeding with the project, an after-tax charge to net earnings of $127 million was recorded, which included provisions associated with the decommissioning and restoration of the Voyageur site and contract cancellation costs.

13. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

On April 15, 2013, the company announced that it had reached an agreement to sell a significant portion of its natural gas business in Western Canada for $1 billion, subject to closing adjustments on an economic basis, with an effective date of January 1, 2013. This transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013, and is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The proceeds received on the closing of the transaction will be reduced by the net revenues that the company receives between the effective date and the closing date, and other closing adjustments.
