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 changes as described in note 2, Changes in Accounting Policies.

 

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, 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

 

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

 

2. 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 in the first quarter of 2006 was $48 million.

 

3. ENERGY MARKETING AND TRADING ACTIVITIES

 

The company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options to gain market information and earn trading and marketing revenues. These energy 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. The results of these activities are reported as revenue and as energy marketing and trading expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

 

Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to enhance prices and satisfy physical deliveries to customers. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006 these activities resulted in a net pretax gain of $10 million (2005 - net pretax gain $2 million).

 

In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company also enters into various financial energy contracts for trading activities. The following information presents all positions for the financial instruments only. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, a net pretax loss of $1 million (2005 - net pretax gain $2 million) resulted from the settlement and revaluation of the financial contracts. The above amounts do not include the impact of related general and administrative costs.

Note: An option will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the option.

 

(a) Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted-average number of common shares.

 

(b) Diluted earnings per share is net earnings, divided by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares.

 

6. 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 that hold options must earn the right to exercise them. This is done by the employee 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 Suncor’s shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies.

 

(a) Stock Option Plans

 

Under the SunShare long-term incentive plan, the company granted 260,000 options to new employees in the first quarter of 2006 (264,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2005).

 

On April 30, 2008, 50% of the outstanding, unvested SunShare options will vest. 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 criteria is not met, the unvested options that have not previously expired or been cancelled, will automatically vest on January 1, 2012.

 

Under the company’s other plans, 1,509,000 options were granted in the first quarter of 2006 (1,291,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2005).

 

The fair values of all common share options granted during the period are estimated as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted during the various periods and the weightedaverage assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

9. ROYALTY ESTIMATE MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

 

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 being treated by the Government of Alberta as a separate project from the rest of the Oil Sands operations for royalty purposes.

 

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.

 

Oil Sands royalties payable in 2006 are highly sensitive to, among other factors, changes in crude oil and natural gas pricing,
timing of the receipt of property damage insurance proceeds, foreign exchange rates and total capital and operating costs
for each project. Oil Sands pretax royalty estimate was $285 million ($182 million after-tax) for the first three months of 2006
compared to $87 million ($53 million after-tax) for the first three months of 2005. We estimate 2006 annualized Crown Royalties
to be approximately $950 million ($608 million after-tax) based on three months of actual results including the final $385 million
in business interruption insurance proceeds, together with 2006 forward crude oil pricing of US$69.02 as at March 31, 2006,
current forecasts of production, capital and operating costs for the remainder of 2006, a Canadian/US foreign exchange rate
of $0.88, and no further receipts of property loss insurance proceeds other than those recorded to date. Accordingly, actual
results will differ, and these differences may be material. The balance of the royalty expense is in respect of natural gas royalties
of $44 million ($28 million after tax).

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In April 2006, as a result of the agreement of final terms for the settlement of its business interruption claim, the company determined that $385 million (US$330 million) in proceeds were unconditionally received or receivable. The proceeds relate to business activity during 2005 and have accordingly been recognized as revenue in the first quarter.

 

In April 2006, the Alberta Government substantively enacted a 1.5% reduction in the Alberta corporate income tax rate. The company anticipates that this will result in an approximately $125 million reduction in non cash income tax expense on the revaluation of opening future income tax liabilities. The adjustment will be recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

(1)     Cash flow from operations for the period; divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

(2)     For the twelve month period ended; net earnings (2006 - $1,787 million; 2005 - $927 million) adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (2006 - income of $17 million; 2005 - income of $36 million) divided by average capital employed (2006 - $6,279 million; 2005 - $5,902 million). 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 capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable). Return on capital employed (ROCE) for Suncor operating segments as presented in the Quarterly Operating Summary is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated ROCE. For a detailed reconciliation of ROCE prepared on an annual basis, see page 56 of Suncor’s 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

(3)     If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2006 - $8,510 million; 2005 - $7,075 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain financial measures referred to in the Highlights and Quarterly Operating Summary are not prescribed by 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.

 

 

 

(2) Average sales price

-

This operating statistic is calculated before royalties and net of related transportation costs (including or excluding the impact of 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 production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities. 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 for in-situ operations. Per barrel amounts are based on all production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities.

 

 

 

(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 all production volumes that are processed through the upgrader facilities.

 

 

 

(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.

 

 

 

(7) Total operating costs – In-situ bitumen production

-

Include cash operating costs – Firebag as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes.

 

Explanatory Notes

 

*                                         Excludes the impact of hedging activities.

 

**                                  Currently all Natural Gas 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.
