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 Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, specifically International Accounting Standard 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, 2011.

The policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued and outstanding as at October 31, 2012, 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, 2011. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

(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, 2011.

3. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The company's operating segments are determined based on differences in the nature of their operations, products and services.

Intersegment sales of crude oil and natural gas are accounted for at market values and included, for segmented reporting, in revenues of the segment making the transfer and expenses of the segment receiving the transfer. Intersegment amounts are eliminated on consolidation.

5. ASSET IMPAIRMENT

Syria

In the second quarter of 2012, the company recognized after-tax impairment charges and write-downs of $694 million related to Syrian assets in its Exploration and Production business. In December 2011, the company declared force majeure under its contractual obligations, suspended its operations and ceased recording production due to political unrest and international sanctions affecting that country. No Syrian production has been recorded in 2012.

As there was no resolution of the political situation at the end of the second quarter, an impairment test on the company's assets was performed. In calculating the company's impairment, the recoverable amount was determined using a value-in-use methodology. The company used an expected cash flow approach based on 2011 year-end reserves data updated for the company's best estimate of price realizations, with three scenarios representing i) resumption of operations in 18 months, ii) resumption of operations in 30 months, and iii) total loss. These scenarios were probability-weighted based on the company's best estimates, and present valued using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 19%. The calculation was most sensitive to management's assumptions on the relative likelihood of the three scenarios and price realizations.

The impairment losses were recorded as part of Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment expense and charged against Property, Plant and Equipment ($604 million) and other current assets ($23 million).

In the second quarter of 2012, the company also wrote off the remainder of its Syrian receivables ($67 million). A provision of $64 million was previously recorded at December 31, 2011.

After these impairments and write-offs, the carrying value of the company's net assets in Syria as at September 30, 2012 was approximately $250 million.

No additional impairment has been recognized in the third quarter of 2012 as no indicators have been identified that would change the company's overall impairment assessment.

Libya

In the second quarter of 2011, the company recognized after-tax impairment charges of $514 million related to Libyan assets in its Exploration and Production business. At that time, production had been shut in due to political violence in Libya. The impairment losses were recorded as part of Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment expense, and charged against Property, Plant and Equipment ($259 million), Exploration and Evaluation assets ($211 million), and Inventories ($44 million).

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the company reversed $11 million impairment charge that related to crude oil inventories. The reversal was the result of lifting certain of the political sanctions, and the joint venture partner confirming the existence of previously written off crude oil.

No additional impairment or impairment reversal has been recognized in the third quarter of 2012 as no indicators have been identified that would change the company's overall impairment assessment.

7. NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

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 up to $1 billion of its common shares between September 20, 2012 and September 19, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company purchased 34.4 million (2011 – 5.0 million) common shares for total consideration of $1,043 million (2011 – $141 million), net of $1.3 million (2011 – $nil) option premiums recognized in share capital. Of the amount recognized, $447 million (2011 – $65 million) was charged to share capital and $596 million (2011 – $76 million) to retained earnings.

The company has also recorded a liability of $300 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, $121 million was charged to share capital and $179 million to retained earnings.

9. INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of 2012, the Ontario government substantively enacted legislation to freeze the general corporate income tax rate at the current 11.5% instead of the planned reduction to 10%. Accordingly, the company recognized an increase in deferred tax expense of $88 million related to the revaluation of deferred income tax balances.

In the first quarter of 2011, the U.K. government substantively enacted a 12% increase in the supplementary charge on U.K. oil and gas profits. Accordingly, the company recognized an increase in deferred tax expense of $442 million related to the revaluation of deferred income tax balances.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
