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 and note 3, Change in Segmented Disclosures.

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, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

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

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2007 the company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3855 “Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement”, Section 1530 “Comprehensive Income” and Section 3865 “Hedging”. These sections establish the accounting and reporting standards for financial instruments and hedging activities, and require the initial recognition of financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. The comparative interim consolidated financial statements have not been restated, except for the presentation of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

Transaction costs and the related cash flow impacts are included in the fair value assessments of each financial asset and financial liability instrument.

Generally, all derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, excluding those considered as normal purchases and normal sales, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge each period, changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge each period, the effective portions of the changes in fair value of the derivative are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings when the hedged item is recognized. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings immediately for both fair value and cash flow hedges.

Gains or losses arising from hedging activities, including the ineffective portion, are reported in the same Consolidated Statement of Earnings caption as the hedged item. The determination of hedge effectiveness and the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges are based on internally derived valuations. The company uses these valuations to estimate the fair values of the underlying physical commodity contracts.

In addition to containing the effective portions of the gains/losses on our cash flow hedges, the accumulated other comprehensive income account will also contain the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of our foreign operations.

Upon implementation and initial measurement under the new standards at January 1, 2007, the following adjustments were recorded to the balance sheet:

Financial Assets

 

$42 million

 

Financial Liabilities

 

$29 million

 

Retained Earnings

 

$5 million

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

 

$63 million

 

 

The comparative interim consolidated financial statements have not been restated, except for the presentation of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $71 million.

Additional disclosure requirements for financial instruments have been approved by the CICA, and will be required disclosure for the company beginning January 1, 2008.

See Note 4 for a summary of financial instrument disclosures at March 31, 2007.

3. CHANGE IN SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES

Consistent with the company’s organizational restructuring during the first quarter of 2007, results from our Canadian and U.S. downstream refining and marketing operations have been combined into a single business segment – Refining & Marketing. Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect the combination of the previously disclosed Energy Marketing & Refining – Canada (EM&R) and Refining & Marketing – U.S.A. (R&M) segments. The results of company-wide energy marketing and trading activities will continue to be included in this segment. The financial results relating to the sales of Oil Sands and Natural Gas production will continue to be reported in their respective business segments. There was no impact to consolidated net earnings as a result of the restructuring.

Effective January 1, 2007, the company began allocating stock-based compensation expense to each of the reportable business segments. Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect the allocation of stock-based compensation. There was no impact to consolidated net earnings as a result of the allocation.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The company’s financial instruments recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet 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 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, or through comparisons to similar debt instruments; 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. At March 31, 2007, the carrying value of our fixed-term debt was $2.4 billion (fair value – $2.6 billion).

Hedges

Fair Value Hedges

The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy to minimize exposure to changes in cash flows of interest-bearing debt. At March 31, 2007, the company had interest rate derivatives classified as fair value hedges outstanding for up to five years relating to fixed rate debt.

There was no ineffectiveness recognized on derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges during the three month period ended March 31, 2007.

Cash Flow Hedges

Suncor operates in a global industry where the market price of its produced petroleum and natural gas products is determined based on floating benchmark indices denominated in U.S. dollars. The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to hedge against the potential adverse impact of changing market prices due to changes in the underlying indices. Specifically, the company manages crude sales price variability by entering into West Texas Intermediate (WTI) derivative transactions. The company also manages variability in market interest rates during periods of debt issuance through the use of interest rate swap transactions.

At March 31, 2007, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated cash flows subject to U.S. dollar WTI commodity risk for 2007 and 2008, as well as cash flows related to natural gas production and refinery operations in 2007 and 2008, and a portion of its Euro currency exposure created by the anticipated purchase of equipment payable in Euros in 2007.

The earnings impact associated with realized and unrealized hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was a gain of $2 million.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, assets increased by $20 million and liabilities increased by $9 million as a result of recording derivative instruments at fair value in accordance with the new standards.

The fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments as recorded, is the estimated amount, based on broker quotes and/or internal valuation models, that the company would receive (pay) to terminate the contracts. Such amounts were as follows:

Energy Marketing and Trading Activities

In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options, to 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. Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to enhance prices and satisfy physical deliveries to customers. The results of these activities are reported as revenue and as energy trading and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The net pretax earnings (loss) for the three month period ended March 31 were as follows:

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 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 312,000 options to new employees in the first quarter of 2007 (260,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2006).

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. Management believes that it is highly likely the final performance criterion will be met and that all unvested SunShare options at April 30, 2008 will therefore vest. Stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to reflect this assumption.

Under the company’s other plans, 1,615,000 options were granted in the first quarter of 2007 (1,509,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2006).

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 weighted-average assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

Common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 are not recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company’s reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders and earnings per share prepared in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation would have been reduced for all common share options granted prior to 2003 to the pro forma amounts stated below:

10. 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.

Oil Sands royalties payable in 2007 are highly sensitive to, among other factors, changes in crude oil and natural gas pricing, foreign exchange rates and total capital and operating costs for each project. Oil Sands pretax royalty estimate was $157 million ($110 million after tax) for the first three months of 2007 compared to $285 million ($182 million after tax) for the first three months of 2006. We estimate 2007 annualized Crown Royalties to be approximately $665 million ($465 million after tax) based on three months of actual results together with 2007 forward crude oil pricing of US$63.14 per barrel as at March 31, 2007; current forecasts of production, capital and operating costs for the remainder of 2007; and a Canadian/US foreign exchange rate of $0.87. Accordingly, actual results will differ, and these differences may be material. The balance of the consolidated royalty expense is in respect of natural gas royalties of $32 million ($26 million after tax).

11. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

On March 5, 2007, the company repaid maturing 6.80% $250 million Medium Term Notes. The company used commercial paper to repay the notes.

On March 26, 2007, the company issued 5.39% Medium Term Notes with a principal amount of $600 million, under an outstanding $2 billion debt shelf prospectus. These notes bear interest, which is paid semi-annually, and mature on March 26, 2037. The net proceeds received were used to repay commercial paper.

At March 31, 2007, undrawn lines of credit were approximately $1,767 million, as follows:

($ millions)

 

 

 

Facility that is fully revolving for 364 days, has a term period of one year and expires in 2008

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 (2007 $2,821 million; 2006 $1,787 million) adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (2007 income of $12 million; 2006 income of $17 million) divided by average capital employed (2007 $8,040 million; 2006 $6,279 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 58 of Suncor’s 2006 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: 2007 $10,660 million; 2006 $8,510 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.

(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 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 for in-situ operations. 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 hedging activities.

**

 

Currently Natural Gas production is located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

***

 

Excludes exploratory wells in progress.
