A forward-looking statement involves risks with regard to the accuracy of assumptions underlying the projections. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology The terminology used in the computer and telecommunications field adds tremendous confusion not only for the lay person, but for the technicians themselves. What many do not realize is that terms are made up by anybody and everybody in a nonchalant, casual manner without any regard or such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue", or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. A number of factors, including the business risks discussed below, may cause actual results to vary materially from these estimates. Actual events or results may differ materially. In addition, this discussion contains forward-looking statements attributed to third party industry sources. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. When converting natural gas to equivalent barrels of oil within this discussion, Pengrowth uses the international standard of 6 thousand cubic feet (mcf) to one barrel of oil equivalent The barrel of oil equivalent (bboe, sometimes BOE) is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

Net Income Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $100.2 million ($0.63 per trust unit) compared to $51.3 million ($0.38 per trust unit) for the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005 Pengrowth recorded net income of $209.7 million ($1.34 per trust unit) compared to $122.6 million ($0.93 per trust unit) for the first nine months of 2004. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period last year is due mainly to a 37 percent increase in average commodity prices. Production Production for the third quarter of 2005 decreased approximately two percent compared to the third quarter of 2004. Natural production declines more than offset the increased production associated with ongoing development activities, the increased working interest in Swan Hills Unit No. 1, the Crispin acquisition and an additional shipment of condensate condensate, matter in the form of a gas of atoms, molecules, or elementary particles that have been so chilled that their motion is virtually halted and as a consequence they lose their separate identities and merge into a single entity. from the Sable Offshore Energy Project

Third quarter 2005 light crude oil production volumes remained relatively flat versus both the second quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2004. The Swan Hills Unit No. 1 and Crispin acquisitions, in addition to development activities over the past year, combined to offset natural production declines. Heavy oil production decreased 17 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 and approximately four percent from the second quarter of 2005. The decrease is due to natural production declines, particularly at Tangleflags and Bodo. Natural gas production remained unchanged in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004.

Natural gas production was up seven percent versus the second quarter of 2005 resulting from additional volumes from SOEP and Judy Creek.

This was partially offset by the appreciation in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Pengrowth's average realized light crude oil price for the third quarter of 2005, net of hedging losses, increased 13 percent compared to the second quarter of 2005. Pengrowth's average realized heavy oil price increased 26 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 and 57 percent versus the second quarter of 2005. The year-to-date average realized heavy oil price for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 decreased seven percent largely as a result of widening in the light/heavy price differential and the increasing cost of diluent diluent /dil·u·ent/ (dil´oo-int) 1. causing dilution. 2. an agent that dilutes or renders less potent or irritant. dil·u·ent adj.

Certain fixed price gas contracts which were associated with the Murphy acquisition also partially offset the increase in market prices. Price Risk Management Program Pengrowth uses forward price swap and option contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, to provide a measure of stability to our monthly cash distributions and to partially secure returns on new acquisitions. On a combined basis, oil and gas hedging losses were $21.6 million ($3.99 per boe) for the third quarter and $38.1 million ($2.38 per boe) for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $18.9 million ($3.42 per boe) and $46.4 million ($3.23 per boe) for the respective periods of 2004. With the continued strength in crude oil prices in the third quarter, Pengrowth realized a net hedging loss of $19.8 million ($10.42 per bbl) on crude oil price swap transactions, compared to a loss of $17.9 million ($9.38 per bbl) in the third quarter of 2004. On a year-to-date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss of $37.4 million ($6.63 per bbl) for the first nine months of 2005 on crude oil price swap transactions, compared to a net hedging loss of $37.8 million ($6.55 per bbl) for the first nine months of 2004. In the third quarter of 2005, Pengrowth realized a net hedging loss of $1.8 million ($0.12 per mcf) related to natural gas financial swap contracts, compared to a net hedging loss of $1.0 million ($0.07 per mcf) for the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss of $0.7 million ($0.02 per mcf) in the first nine months of 2005 related to natural gas financial swap contracts, compared to a net hedging loss of $8.6 million ($0.22 per mcf) for the same period of last year.

At September 30, 2005, the mark-to-market value of Pengrowth's commodity hedges represented a potential loss of $64.2 million which consisted of a loss of $25.0 million on natural gas contracts and $39.2 million for crude oil contracts.

The decrease in royalty Compensation for the use of property, usually copyrighted works, patented inventions, or natural resources, expressed as a percentage of receipts from using the property or as a payment for each unit produced. rate from the third quarter of 2004 to the third quarter of 2005 is primarily due to the non-recurring nature of a $4.4 million adjustment for Judy Creek royalties that was included in the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months, royalties were 18 percent and 19 percent in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Operating Costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales Operating costs were $57.4 million ($10.59 per boe) for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $47.2 million ($8.53 per boe) for the third quarter of 2004 and $50.4 million ($9.56 per boe) for the second quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, operating costs were $156.9 million ($9.80 per boe) compared to $117.1 million ($8.15 per boe) for the same period of 2004. The Murphy, Swan Hills Unit No. 1 and Crispin acquisitions, higher utility and oilfield services costs and the expense associated with the trust unit award plan contributed to higher operating costs in total as well as on a per boe basis compared to the third quarter of 2004 and the second quarter of 2005. Heavy oil operating costs in 2005 have been impacted by a $2.1 million adjustment related to a prior period expense on a non-operated property and higher costs associated with rising natural gas costs at thermal thermal /ther·mal/ (ther´m'l) pertaining to or characterized by heat. ther·mal adj. 1.

During the third quarter of 2005, Pengrowth purchased and capitalized $6.9 million of injectants and amortized $6.0 million against third quarter net income and distributable cash, compared to $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2004 and $5.7 million and $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. On a year-to-date basis, Pengrowth has purchased and capitalized $20.2 million of injectants and amortized $17.3 million, compared to $12.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively, in the same period last year. The increase in injectant in·jec·tant n. A substance injected, as into the skin. costs year over year is due mainly to Pengrowth's increased working interest at Swan Hills Unit No. 1.

The year-to-date non-cash component is $2.1 million compared to $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2004. Excluding the non-cash component of G&A, 2005 year-to-date G&A has increased over 2004 levels by $4.1 million mainly due to the addition of personnel and office space required to manage the Murphy assets as well as the expense associated with the trust unit award plan. Management Fees Management fees were $3.5 million ($0.65 per boe) for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $2.5 million ($0.45 per boe) for the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005, management fees were $11.6 million ($0.72 per boe) for 2005 compared to $10.3 million ($0.72 per boe) for the same period in 2004.

The maximum fees payable, including the performance fee, is limited to 80 percent of the fees that would otherwise have been payable under the previous management agreement for the first three years and 60 percent for the subsequent three years. Management fees have increased from 2004 mainly due to higher commodity prices that have increased cash generated from operations. Interest Interest expense decreased to $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to reduced debt level. For the first nine months of 2005, interest expense was $16.8 million compared to $20.6 million for the same period of 2004.

Distributions and Taxability of Distributions Pengrowth generated $162.0 million ($1.02 per average trust unit outstanding) of distributable cash related to third quarter 2005 operations, compared to $104.3 million ($0.77 per average trust unit outstanding) in the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005, Pengrowth generated $423.9 million distributable cash compared to $296.2 million in the first nine months of 2004. Distributions were $326.1 million for 2005 (2004 - $266.6 million) and as a percentage of cash generated from operations (payout ratio) represent approximately 77 percent (2004 - 86 percent).

For the third quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors resolved to maintain the existing level of distributions at $0.23 per trust unit. Given the level of current commodity prices, this action has resulted in an increase in cash available to help fund Pengrowth's capital expenditures. Pengrowth is pleased to announce an increase in monthly distributions to $0.25 per trust unit for the fourth quarter of 2005 beginning with the December 15, 2005 distribution. Cash distributions are paid to unitholders on the 15th day of the second month following the month of production. Pengrowth paid $0.69 per trust unit as cash distributions during the third quarter of 2005. There is no standardized measure of distributable cash and therefore distributable cash, as reported by Pengrowth, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other trusts. In conjunction with the change to Pengrowth's withholding practice, distributable cash as presented below may not be comparable to previous disclosures. The following table provides a reconciliation of distributable cash for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

At this time, Pengrowth anticipates that approximately 75 to 80 percent of 2005 distributions will be taxable for Canadian residents; this estimate is subject to change depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the level of commodity prices, acquisitions, dispositions and new equity offerings. Liquidity and Capital Resources Pengrowth's long-term debt at September 30, 2005 was $422.2 million, compared to $345.4 million at December 31, 2004 and $355.3 million at September 30, 2004. During the third quarter, Pengrowth received $18.6 million of proceeds from the sale of non-operated oil and natural gas properties. Year-to-date capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of $114.5 million were financed through the combination of cash withheld of $97.7 million and of $32.0 million proceeds from the exercise of trust unit rights and options. Approximately $295 million of a $470 million revolving credit Revolving Credit A line of credit where the customer pays a commitment fee and is then allowed to use the funds when they are needed. It is usually used for operating purposes, fluctuating each month depending on the customers current cash flow needs. facility and a $35 million demand operating line of credit remain unutilized at September 30, 2005. The remainder of Pengrowth's debt outstanding at the end of the third quarter 2005 is U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate term debt, details of which are provided in Note 2 to the financial statements. Due to the change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, an unrealized gain Unrealized Gain A profit that results from holding on to an asset rather than cashing it in and using the funds. Notes: Let's say you own a stock that has doubled, but you haven't sold it yet. This is said to be an unrealized gain. of $12.9 million has been recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 ($8.2 million year-to-date) on the U.S. dollar denominated debt. Since the U.S. $200 million denominated debt was issued in April 2003, the Canadian dollar has strengthened significantly, resulting in a cumulative unrealized gain of $58.0 million. At the end of the third quarter of 2005, Pengrowth was capitalized with 12 percent net debt (long-term debt less working capital) and 88 percent equity, as compared with 20 percent debt and 80 percent equity at the end of the third quarter of 2004 (based on quarter-end market capitalization Market Capitalization A measure of a public company's size. Market capitalization is the total dollar value of all outstanding shares. It's calculated by multiplying the number of shares times the current market price. This term is often referred to as market cap. ). The Trust's net debt to annualized cash flow from operations was approximately 0.8 times at the end of the third quarter of 2005, as compared to 1.7 times at the end of the third quarter of 2004.

Acquisitions and Dispositions During the third quarter of 2005, Pengrowth received approximately $19 million of proceeds from the sale of non-core oil and natural gas properties with associated production of approximately 200 boe per day. Due to the timing of the sales, production from these properties is included in the third quarter of 2005 results. Prior to the third quarter, Pengrowth successfully completed the acquisition of an additional 11.89 percent working interest in the Swan Hills Unit No. 1 property for $87 million which was funded through additional debt. Pengrowth also closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Crispin Energy Inc. on April 29, 2005 by issuing approximately 677,000 Class A trust units and approximately 3,552,000 Class B trust units, valued at $88 million, and assuming debt of approximately $20 million. Capital Spending Capital expenditures for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 totaled $114.5 million including $24.6 million at Judy Creek, $18.5 million at SOEP, $7.8 million at Buick

Pengrowth currently expects to spend a total of approximately $70 million on development activities in the remaining quarter of 2005 for a total revised capital program of approximately $185 million for full year 2005. The revised capital plan represents a decrease of $30 million or 14 percent from the previous guidance of $215 million. The reduction in the 2005 capital program reflects the impact of limited rig availability and weather related delays in planned development activities which have resulted in deferral deferral - Waiting for quiet on the Ethernet. of related expenditures to the 2006 capital year.

Outlook Based on third quarter 2005 production results, Pengrowth expects daily average production of approximately 57,500 to 58,500 boe per day for the full year 2005. This estimate incorporates production additions from the Swan Hills Unit No. 1 and Crispin acquisitions, Pengrowth's 2005 development program and two condensate shipments from SOEP in the fourth quarter of 2005, offset by normal production declines and non-core property divestitures. Total operating costs for 2005 are expected to increase to approximately $210 to $220 million including a full year of costs from the Murphy acquisition and those associated with the Swan Hills Unit No. 1 and Crispin acquisitions. Assuming Pengrowth's average production results for 2005 are as forecast above, Pengrowth now estimates 2005 operating costs per boe of between $9.80 and $10.45 and combined G&A and management fees of approximately $2.05 to $2.15 per boe. Pengrowth currently anticipates capital expenditures for maintenance and development of approximately $185 million for 2005. Pengrowth is pleased to announce an increase in monthly distributions during the fourth quarter to $0.25 per trust unit beginning with the December 15, 2005 distribution which is expected to result in a payout ratio of 73 to 76 percent for the full year 2005.

In connection with statements made in the 2005 Federal Budget, the Department of Finance released a consultation paper (the "Consultation Paper") on September 8, 2005 titled Tax and Other Issues Related to Publicly Listed Flow-Through Entities A flow-through entity (FTE) is a corporate legal entity where income "flows through" to investors (unitholders) in the form of regular cash distributions. The FTE is normally the operating arm of a holdings company or trust to which the earnings from operations are transferred as a .The Consultation Paper launched a process of discussion and third-party input on the impact of publicly listed income trusts and other flow-through entities (FTEs) on federal tax revenues and the Canadian economy.Although not specifically referred to, FTEs could include royalty trusts royalty trust An ownership interest in certain assets, generally crude oil or gas production and real estate. Unlike the usual corporate organization, a trust arrangement permits income and tax benefits to flow through to the individual owners. such as Pengrowth Energy Trust.The consultation process will seek input on a number of questions, including: - Does the tax advantage of FTEs relative to public corporations have a significant impact on how businesses are organized in Canada? - Have FTEs had a significant impact on tax revenues? Is there potential for revenue losses to grow in the years to come? - What impacts are FTEs having on investment decision and the allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place. In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as of capital in Canada?

This process will not include separate consultations announced by the Department of Finance on December 6, 2004 regarding the 2004 Federal Budget proposals with respect to mutual funds maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents. The Department of Finance has invited submissions until December 31, 2005. Subsequent to the consultation process, the Minister of Finance announced there would be a moratorium A suspension of activity or an authorized period of delay or waiting. A moratorium is sometimes agreed upon by the interested parties, or it may be authorized or imposed by operation of law. on the issuance of tax ruling to FTEs.

TRUST UNIT AWARD PLAN Effective July 13, 2005, Pengrowth established a new incentive plan to reward and retain employees whereby Class B trust units and cash to offset the estimated taxable benefit will be awarded to eligible employees.Employees will receive one half of the trust units and cash on January January: see month. 1, 2006 and one half of the trust units and cash on July 1, 2006.Any appreciation or depreciation in the Class B trust units over the vesting Vesting The process by which employees accrue non-forfeitable rights over employer contributions that are made to the employee's qualified retirement plan account. Notes: period accrues to the eligible employees. Pengrowth acquired the Class B trust units to be awarded under the plan on the open market for $4.3 million and placed them in a trust account established for the benefit of the eligible employees. The cost to acquire the trust units has been recorded as deferred compensation expense and is being charged to net income on a straight line basis over one year.In addition, the cash portion of the incentive plan of approximately $1.5 million is being accrued ac·crue v. ac·crued, ac·cru·ing, ac·crues v.intr. 1.

TRUST UNIT BASED COMPENSATION PLANS Pengrowth has trust unit based compensation plans under which directors, officers, employees and special consultants of Pengrowth and the Manager are eligible to receive trust unit options and rights.Pengrowth records compensation expense and a corresponding decrease to contributed surplus in respect of rights incentive options granted on or after January 1, 2003.The amount of compensation expense is reduced and a corresponding increase to contributed surplus recorded for rights incentive options which are subsequently cancelled can·cel v. can·celed also can·celled, can·cel·ing also can·cel·ling, can·cels also can·cels v.tr. 1.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Effective January 1, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a Long Term Incentive Plan.Under the Long Term Incentive Plan for permanent employees of Pengrowth and other designated participants, deferred entitlement trust units are granted based on a grant value as a percentage of an individual's base salary and an established weighting of deferred entitlement trust units and/or rights incentive options that is dependent on an individual's position within the organization.The deferred entitlement trust units fully vest and are converted to Pengrowth Energy Trust Class B trust units ("Class B trust units") on the third anniversary year from the date of grant and will receive distributions prior to the vesting date in the form of additional deferred entitlement trust units.However, the number of deferred entitlement trust units actually issued to each participant Participant A party of a funding. It usually refers to the lowest rank or smallest level of funding. at the end of the three year vesting period will be subject to a relative performance test which compares Pengrowth's three year average total return to the three year average total return of a peer group of other energy trusts such that upon vesting, the number of Class B trust units issued from treasury may range from zero to one and one-half times the number of deferred entitlement trust units granted plus accrued deferred entitlement trust units through the deemed re-investment of distributions. Compensation expense related to deferred entitlement trust units is based on the fair value of the deferred entitlement trust units at the date of grant.The number of Class B trust units awarded at the end of the vesting period is subject to certain performance conditions.Compensation expense incorporates the estimated fair value of the deferred entitlement trust units at the date of grant and an estimate of the relative performance multiplier multiplier In economics, a numerical coefficient showing the effect of a change in one economic variable on another.

The loss of a corporate charter or franchise as a result of illegality, malfeasance, or Nonfeasance. has not been made; rather compensation expense is reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur.Compensation expense is recognized in income over the vesting period with a corresponding increase or decrease to Contributed Surplus.Upon issuance of the Class B trust units at the end of the vesting period, trust unit holders' capital is increased and contributed surplus is reduced.For the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2005, Pengrowth recorded compensation expense of $358,000 and $795,000, respectively associated with the deferred entitlement trust units.Compensation expense associated with the deferred entitlement trust units was based on the weighted average estimated fair value of $18.69 per deferred entitlement trust unit.
