Precision Drilling Trust
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except unit numbers)
 
NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
These interim financial statements for Precision Drilling Trust (the "Trust") were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application consistent with those used in the preparation of the Trust’s consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 except as noted below. These interim financial statements conform in all material respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles in Canada for annual financial statements with the exception of certain note disclosures regarding balance sheet items and transactions occurring prior to the current reporting period. As a result, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Effective January 1, 2007 the Trust adopted new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. The standards regarding the disclosure of comprehensive income (Sections 1530 and 3251) require a statement of comprehensive income, which is comprised of net earnings and other comprehensive income. The Trust does not have any amounts that would be included in comprehensive income, therefore, comprehensive income is equivalent to net earnings and no statement of comprehensive income is presented. The adoption of the standards relating to the recognition, measurement, disclosure and presentation of financial instruments (Section 3855 and 3861), and hedge accounting (Section 3865) did not have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.
 
New Canadian accounting standards relating to the disclosure of financial instruments and capital have been issued. The new standards have not yet been applied by the Trust. The application of these standards will result in additional disclosure when they become effective for the fiscal period commencing January 1, 2008.
 
Certain of the prior period’s comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
 
NOTE 2.  SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
 
The majority of the Trust’s operations are carried on in Canada. The ability to move heavy equipment in the Canadian oil and natural gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. As warm weather returns in the spring, the winter’s frost comes out of the ground rendering many secondary roads incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment until they have thoroughly dried out. The duration of this "spring break-up" has a direct impact on the Trust’s activity levels. In addition, many exploration and production areas in northern Canada are accessible only in winter months when the ground is frozen hard enough to support equipment. The timing of freeze up and spring break-up affects the ability to move equipment in and out of these areas. As a result, late March through May is traditionally the Trust’s slowest time.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
 
The Trust incurs taxes to the extent that there are certain provincial capital taxes, as well as taxes on any taxable income, of its underlying subsidiaries. Future income taxes arise from the differences between the accounting and tax basis of the underlying subsidiary’s assets and liabilities.
 
The provision for income taxes differs from that which would be expected by applying statutory Canadian income tax rates. A reconciliation of the difference at March 31 is as follows:
