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 September 30, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 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. BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH PETRO-CANADA

(a)  Overview

In the first quarter of 2009, Suncor announced that it had agreed to merge with Petro-Canada. The transaction was accomplished through a plan of arrangement, which included a share exchange, pursuant to which holders of common shares of Petro-Canada received 1.28 common shares of Suncor for each common share of Petro-Canada held.

In the second and third quarters of 2009, the arrangement received approval from Suncor and Petro-Canada shareholders, the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, and the Competition Bureau of Canada. The transaction closed August 1, 2009 and the merged company continues to operate as Suncor Energy Inc.

(b)  Accounting for business combinations

The company has accounted for this business combination as prescribed by CICA Handbook section 1581 "Business Combinations". As such, the company is required to recognize Petro-Canada assets and liabilities as at August 1, 2009. The results of Petro-Canada operations are included in the consolidated financial statements of the company from August 1, 2009.

(c)  Consideration and purchase price

Consideration offered to complete the merger included 621.1 million shares of Suncor with a value of $18,878 million, or $30.39 per share, that were issued to Petro-Canada shareholders and 7.1 million Suncor share options with a fair value of $147 million, that were exchanged for existing Petro-Canada share options. The replacement of stock options and other stock-based compensation plans that are accounted for as liabilities are not included in consideration (see note 9).

The total purchase price for the acquisition was $19,630 million, consisting of the following amounts:

($ millions)

         
 

621.1 million common shares issued to Petro-Canada shareholders

    18,878    

7.1 million Petro-Canada share options exchanged for share options of Suncor

(d)  Preliminary allocation of purchase price

The following fair values were assigned to the net assets of Petro-Canada as at August 1, 2009:

($ millions)

         
 

Current assets

    4,645    

Property, plant and equipment

    27,550

Net assets purchased

    16,431    

Goodwill

    3,199    
 
 

Total purchase price

    19,630    
 

Cash acquired was $248 million, net of transaction costs of $167 million.

Other assets includes $236 million for intangible assets, relating to the Petro-Canada brand, with an indefinite life, and customer lists, which will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

This preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on current best estimates by Suncor's management and is based principally on valuations prepared by independent valuation specialists. The completion of the purchase price allocation may result in further adjustment to the carrying value of Petro-Canada's recorded assets and liabilities and the residual amount allocated to goodwill. The company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of goodwill on acquisition to its operating segments. In the Schedule of Segmented Data, goodwill on acquisition has been included in total assets for the Corporate, Energy Trading and Eliminations segment. No amount that is part of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

(f)  Pre-existing contract with Petro-Canada

CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 154 (EIC 154) Accounting for Pre-existing Relationships between the Parties of a Business Combination states that the consummation of a business combination between parties with a pre-existing relationship requires an evaluation to determine if a settlement of the related contract exists, and where the relationship is favourable to the acquirer, that the purchase cost of the acquisition be the sum of the consideration paid and the benefit from the settlement of the relationship. The benefit is measured as the lesser of the amount of any stated settlement provisions in the contract and the amount by which the contract is favourable, from the perspective of the acquirer, when compared to pricing for current market transactions for the same or similar items.

In 2003, Suncor entered into a fee-for-service contract where it agreed to upgrade bitumen supplied by Petro-Canada. The contract came into effect January 1, 2009. The contract processing fee included an escalation factor tied to the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, which was intended to approximate changes in Canadian light/heavy differentials for crude oil. The contract terms included a take-or-pay volume commitment and no early settlement provisions.

Since 2003, crude prices have increased significantly and industry conditions for the supply and demand of upgraded bitumen have changed dramatically resulting in the contract being favourable to Suncor at the transaction closing date. A value of $438 million was assigned to the effective settlement of the contract, by comparing estimated future processing fees on the take-or-pay volume commitment to estimated Canadian light/heavy differentials using future pricing assumptions for WTI, synthetic crude and bitumen.

The deemed settlement amount of $438 million (net of income taxes of $nil) is included in the total purchase price of the acquisition and included in interest and other income in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

4. CHANGE IN SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES

As a result of the business combination described in note 3, the company has reclassified its operations into the following segments.

Oil Sands includes the company's operations in northeast Alberta to produce synthetic crude through the recovery and upgrading of bitumen from mining and in-situ development.

Natural Gas includes exploration and production of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids in western Canada and the U.S. Rockies.

The East Coast Canada segment comprises activity offshore Newfoundland and Labrador, and includes interests in the Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose and Hebron oilfields.

             Suncor Energy Inc.
036    2009 Third Quarter                                                                    For more information about Suncor Energy, visit our website www.suncor.com


The International segment includes the exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas in the U.K., the Netherlands, Trinidad and Tobago, Libya and Syria.

Refining and Marketing includes the purchase and sale of crude oil, the refining of crude oil products, and the distribution and marketing of these and other purchased products through refineries located in eastern and western Canada and the U.S., as well as a lubricants plant located in eastern Canada.

The Corporate, Energy Trading and Eliminations segment includes third-party energy trading activities and activities not directly attributable to an operating segment.

All prior periods have been restated to conform to these segment definitions.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

(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 income tax, asset retirement and pension obligations), long-term debt, and a portion of non-current accrued liabilities and other. 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 September 30, 2009, the carrying value of our fixed-term debt accounted for under the amortized cost method was $10.3 billion (December 31, 2008 – $6.7 billion) and the fair value was $10.8 billion (December 31, 2008 – $5.4 billion).

(b)  Hedges – Documented as Part of a Qualifying Hedge Relationship

Fair Value Hedges

At September 30, 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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

There was no earnings impact associated with hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts to hedge risks specific to individual transactions during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 (2008 – loss of $1 million, net of income taxes of $1 million). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the earnings impact was a gain of $2 million, net of income taxes of $1 million (2008 – loss of $4 million, net of income taxes of $2 million).

Cash Flow Hedges

At September 30, 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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

(c)  Hedges – Not Documented as Part of a Qualifying Hedge Relationship

The company also periodically enters into derivative financial instruments such as options, basis swaps, and heat rate swaps that either do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or that the company has not elected to document as part of a qualifying hedge relationship. The earnings impact associated with these contracts for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, was a gain of $43 million, net of income taxes of $15 million (2008 – a gain of $54 million, net of income taxes of $22 million). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the earnings impact was a loss of $658 million, net of income taxes of $232 million (2008 – a loss of $6 million, net of income taxes of $2 million).

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 September 30, 2009, the company's exposure to risks associated arising from the use of financial instruments had not changed significantly from December 31, 2008.

6. 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 third quarter of 2009 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.

The increase in debt levels as a result of the merger with Petro-Canada has caused our net debt/cash flow from operations measure to increase significantly, as the calculation only includes two months of cash flow from operations relating to legacy Petro-Canada operations.

The company's capital management strategy, objectives, definitions, monitoring measures and targets have not changed significantly from the prior period.

Stock-Based Compensation


A stock 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. The holder must fulfill a time requirement for service to the company, at which time the option is considered vested. Certain options are subject to accelerated vesting should the company meet predetermined performance criteria.

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.

Certain stock options with a cash payment alternative (CPA) entitle the holder to surrender vested options for cancellation in return for a direct cash payment based on the excess of the then current market price of the underlying common share over the option exercise price or for a common share in the company at the option exercise price.

A stock appreciation right unit (SAR) entitles the holder to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the stated exercise price and the market price of the company's common shares on the date the vested option is surrendered.

A performance share unit (PSU) is a time-vested 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 (RSU) is a time-vested award entitling employees to receive cash.

A deferred share unit (DSU) is a notional share unit, redeemable for cash or a common share for a period of time after a unitholder ceases employment or Board membership. The DSU plan is only for executives and members of the company's Board of Directors.

(iv) Petro-Canada Stock Options ("Adjusted Options")

Granting of options under this plan ended on July 31, 2009. In conjunction with the business combination transaction described in note 3, each outstanding option issued under the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan to purchase Petro-Canada common shares was exchanged on August 1, 2009 for 1.28 options to purchase Suncor common shares, for a total of 29.9 million options outstanding at August 1, 2009. The same exchange ratio was applied to the exercise price of these options.

The Adjusted Options, issued to officers and certain employees, have a term of ten years if granted prior to 2004 and seven years if granted subsequent to 2003. Holders of options granted after 2003 are entitled to exercise the options in exchange for a cash payment alternative (CPA). A total of 22.8 million of the Adjusted Options outstanding on August 1, 2009 had a CPA and are recorded in accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on their intrinsic value at each period end. All Adjusted Options vest over periods of up to four years.

Fair Value of Options Granted

The fair values of all legacy Suncor common share options granted during the period and Adjusted Options granted in 2003 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. Adjusted Options which have a CPA granted subsequent to 2003 are accounted for based on the intrinsic value at each period end.

The merger of Suncor Energy Inc. and Petro-Canada resulted in a deemed year end for income tax purposes for both companies effective July 31, 2009. This deemed year end generated an increase in income taxes payable as well as an acceleration of the tax payments. The tax payments that would ordinarily have been payable in monthly installments over the August to December period were due and payable at September 30, 2009.

In the third quarter of 2009, the provision for future income tax increased by $152 million due in part to the merger with Petro-Canada. The combined provincial allocation of both entities caused an increase to the future income tax rate, the impact of which is recorded in net earnings and is allocated to the segments as follows: Oil Sands – $140 million, Natural Gas – $9 million, Corporate, Energy Trading and Eliminations – $3 million.

15. CHANGES IN NON-CASH WORKING CAPITAL

Non-cash working capital is comprised of current assets and current liabilities, other than cash and cash equivalents, future income taxes and the current portion of long-term debt.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with Canadian 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 (2009 – $672 million; 2008 – $3,500 million) after adjustment to add back after-tax financing expense (2009 – $198 million; 2008 – $105 million) divided by average capital employed (2009 – $18,107 million; 2008 – $12,196 million). Average capital employed is shareholders' equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, less capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable), on a weighted-average basis. 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.

(3)
If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2009 – $26,246 million; 2008 – $16,703 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. The increase in debt levels as a result of the merger with Petro-Canada has caused our net debt/cash flow from operations measure to increase significantly, as the calculation only includes two months of cash flow from operations relating to legacy Petro-Canada operations.

(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 operating earnings, 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 and excludes the realized impact of hedging activities unless stated.
(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.
