PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
(Calgary, July 31, 2003) /CNW/ Pengrowth Corporation (Pengrowth), administrator of Pengrowth Energy Trust, announced the unaudited results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003.
| Total production in the second quarter of 2003 averaged 48,839 boepd and for the first six months was 49,828 boepd. | ||
| Cash netbacks for the period increased by 38% to $17.93 per boe compared to $12.97 per boe in the second quarter of 2002. | ||
| Operating costs were $7.80 per boe in the second quarter of 2003, down from $8.63 reported in the first quarter. The reduction of operating costs per boe in the second quarter is attributable mainly to the acquisition of the SOEP onshore facilities in May 2003 which has eliminated the onshore processing fees charged to Pengrowth along with a $1.0 million refund of offshore processing fees received in the second quarter. | ||
| Pengrowth paid $61.8 million ($0.67 per trust unit) in cash distributions during the second quarter and retained $7.9 million to fund capital expenditures or repay debt. An additional $9.9 million earned in the first half is intended to be distributed to unitholders over the remainder of 2003. | ||
| Pengrowth realized an average commodity price of $37.63 per boe in the second quarter of 2003 US $30.06 in Q2 2002, a 25% increase from the second quarter 2002. | ||
| On April 23, 2003, Pengrowth closed a US $200 million private placement of senior unsecured notes to a group of US institutional investors. The issue comprised US $150 million 4.93% senior notes due April 2010 and US $50 million 5.47% senior notes due April 2013. Proceeds of this offering were used to replace most of Pengrowths outstanding bank debt. | ||
| On May 8, 2003, Pengrowth acquired an 8.4% working interest in the SOEP pipeline to shore and the onshore processing facilities downstream of the Thebaud processing platform for net closing payments of approximately $57 million after adjustments for capital, processing fees and interest. The acquisition will serve to significantly reduce the processing fees paid by Pengrowth. | ||
| On June 17, 2003, a new management agreement was approved by unitholders at the annual general meeting. The new agreement is designed to incentivize the Manager to enhance per unit performance. The new agreement includes substantially reduced base fees, the elimination of acquisition fees, and the introduction of a performance-based fee. | ||
| Subsequent to quarter end, on July 23, Pengrowth successfully completed a public offering of 8.5 million trust units at $16.95 per unit to raise total gross proceeds of $144.1 million and net proceeds of $136 million. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay bank indebtedness incurred to fund prior acquisitions. The balance will be available for potential future acquisitions. |

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 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 (boe). Production volumes and revenues are reported on a gross basis (before crown and freehold royalties) in accordance with Canadian practice. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Distributable Cash
Distributable cash increased by 49% to $71.8 million ($0.67 per unit) for the second quarter of 2003, from $48.1 million ($0.54 per unit) in the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Pengrowth recorded $169.0 million in distributable cash or $1.42 per unit, compared to $81.3 million or $0.95 per unit in the first six months of 2002. An additional $18.7 million earned in the first half of 2003 was withheld to repay indebtedness or fund capital expenditures. A balance of $9.9 million earned in the first half is intended to be distributed to unitholders over the remainder of 2003.
The increase in distributable cash is attributable mainly to higher commodity prices (Pengrowths average per boe selling price was 51% higher in the first half of 2003 compared to first half 2002), and a 21% increase in production, offset in part by higher expenses and a reduced payout ratio commencing with the January 2003 distribution, approximately 10% of cash available for distribution has been withheld to repay debt or fund capital expenditures.
Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $52.4 million compared to $13.6 million for the previous year. For the first six months, Pengrowth recorded net income of $113.5 million, compared to $14.0 million for the previous year. The increase is due mainly to higher production and commodity prices, and an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $20.7 million recorded in the second quarter. This unrealized foreign exchange gain was recorded on Pengrowths $US denominated debt due to the higher Canadian dollar exchange rate at the end of June, 2003 of approximately $0.74 US as compared to the rate in effect in April, 2003 of approximately $0.69 US.

Oil production volumes increased 30% in the second quarter and 32% for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods last year. Most of this increase is attributable to the acquisition of oil producing properties in B.C. including Rigel, Squirrel and Oak. Development activities over the past year have helped offset natural production declines.
Natural gas production increased 15% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and increased 12% on a year to date basis. This increase is attributable to the B.C. property acquisition on October 1, 2002 as well as the acquisition of additional interests in the Quirk Creek area in the second quarter of 2002, offset in part by natural production declines.
Natural gas liquids (NGL) production increased 1% in the second quarter of 2003 over the second quarter of 2002 but on a year to date basis the increase is 10% compared to last year. The year over year increase is attributable to the property acquisitions over the last year. Any fluctuation in NGL sales from quarter to quarter is due mainly to the timing of condensate sales from the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP). Condensate production from SOEP (which currently averages approximately 830 bpd net to Pengrowth) is initially placed in tanks with shipments (sales) accruing to Pengrowth typically every second or third month.
For the first six months of 2003, Pengrowths production portfolio resulted in sales volumes comprising of 49% crude oil, 40% natural gas and 11% natural gas liquids.
Pengrowth continues to forecast 2003 average production of approximately 48,500 boepd assuming no further acquisitions, dispositions or major production interruptions during the second half.
Prices
Pengrowths average commodity price for the second quarter of 2003 was 25% higher than the second quarter of 2002, and on a year to date basis, the average price for the first half of 2003 exceeded the prior year by 51%. Most of this increase is attributable to the substantial increase in natural gas prices in 2003.

Price Risk Management Program
Pengrowth Corporation conducts a risk management program through natural gas and crude oil price swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange transactions for purposes which include managing the risk and volatility of unitholder distributions and locking in returns associated with acquisitions. The board of directors of Pengrowth Corporation has prescribed annual volume limits for commodity price hedges of up to two thirds of net oil production and two thirds of net natural gas production for up to three years.
Natural Gas
In the second quarter of 2003, Pengrowth realized a net hedging loss of $3.5 million related to fixed price gas contracts (as compared to monthly AECO average spot prices) and natural gas financial swap contracts, compared to a net hedging loss of $0.8 million for the same period last year. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss on natural gas of $15.0 million in the first six months of 2003, compared to a net hedging loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year. These hedging losses reflect the sustained strength in natural gas spot prices experienced into the second quarter of 2003.
Crude Oil
With the moderate decline in crude prices in the second quarter, Pengrowth realized a net hedging gain of $1.1 million on crude oil price swap transactions, compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has realized a net hedging loss on crude oil swaps of $8.0 million in the first six months of 2003, compared to a $0.4 million net loss in the first half of 2002.
Current Position
Pengrowth currently has 11,000 barrels per day of crude oil (approximately 47% of current oil production) hedged for the remainder of 2003 at an average price of Cdn $41.48 per barrel. Pengrowth has also fixed the exchange rate on all of our current crude oil hedging contracts. Approximately 26% of current natural gas production is also hedged 14,218 mcf per day of Western gas production is hedged to realize an average plantgate price of $6.07 per mcf, and 17,000 MMBTU of Eastern gas is hedged to realize an average plantgate price of $5.11 per MMBTU for the remainder of 2003. The details of Pengrowths commodity hedges are provided in Note 8 to the financial statements. No new commodity hedging contracts were entered into during the second quarter of 2003.
At June 30, 2003, the mark-to-market value of Pengrowths commodity hedges was negative $4.2 million negative $15.0 million for natural gas contracts and positive $10.8 million for crude oil.
Royalties
Royalties, including crown and freehold royalties, were 19.0% of oil and gas sales in the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 12.7% in 2002. For the six month period, royalties were 18.1 % and 13.5% in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the royalty percentage in 2003 over 2002 is due mainly to higher commodity prices in 2003. In addition, increased hedging losses in 2003 resulted in a slightly higher reported royalty rate (about 1% higher for the six months ended June 30), since the hedged price applies only to Pengrowths net production volumes, and not to crown royalty volumes.
Operating Costs
Operating costs were $34.7 million (or $7.80 per boe) for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $30.5 million (or $8.22 per boe) for the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in operating costs on a per boe basis in the quarter reflects the acquisition of an 8.4% interest in the SOEP onshore facilities on May 8, 2003, which has reduced the SOEP processing fees charged to Pengrowth by approximately $1.2 million per month. Also, included in second quarter operating costs is a reduction of $1.0 million due to an adjustment of SOEP offshore processing fees previously charged for the first quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating costs were $74.1 million ($8.22 per boe), compared to $58.1 million ($7.77 per boe) for the first half of 2002.
Injectants for Miscible Floods
During the second quarter of 2003, Pengrowth purchased $5.4 million of injectants and amortized a related $9.0 million against second quarter income and distributable cash. On a year to date basis, Pengrowth has purchased $14.8 million of injectants and amortized $18.9 million. At June 30, 2003, the balance of unamortized injectant costs was $29.8 million.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses (G&A) were $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, G&A expenses were $7.9 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year. On a per boe basis, year to date G&A is $0.88 per boe, compared to $0.70 per boe for the first half of 2002. G&A costs have increased in 2003 due to a number of factors including the move to larger office space at the end of 2002, and increased legal and regulatory expenses associated with being listed on the New York Stock Exchange, April 2002. In addition, certain one-time costs including legal and advisory costs and additional directors fees were incurred in the first half of 2003 in connection with the negotiation of the new management agreement, which was approved at the annual general meeting held on June 17, 2003.
Management Fees
Management fees were $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2002. For the six month period, management fees were $6.1 million in 2003 compared to $3.1 million in 2002. On a per boe basis, management fees for the first six months of 2003 are $0.68 per boe, compared to $0.42 per boe in 2002. The increase in management fees is due to the higher net operating income fee base in 2003 management fees were calculated on a sliding scale percentage of net operating income (oil and gas sales and other income, less royalties, operating costs, solvent amortization and reclamation funding).
The new management agreement, approved at the annual general meeting on June 17, 2003, is effective July 1, 2003. Under the terms of this agreement, the base fee has been reduced from a sliding scale between 3.5% and 2.5%, to 2% on the first $200 million of net operating income and 1% on net operating income over $200 million; acquisition fees have been eliminated, and the manager is eligible to receive a performance fee if certain performance criteria are met - in particular should returns exceed 8% per annum on a three year rolling average basis. The maximum fees, including the performance fee, is limited to 80% of the fees that would otherwise have been paid under the old management agreement (including acquisition fees) for the first three years, and 60% for the second three years.
Interest
Interest expense increased to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2002. Included in 2003 second quarter interest expense is $1.9 million of costs to terminate all interest rates swaps on Pengrowths bank debt. $75 million of these swaps were cancelled following the US $200 million private placement on April 23, 2003, the proceeds of which were applied to reduce floating rate bank debt. Pengrowth expects to terminate the remaining $50 million of these swaps in the third quarter, since all floating rate bank debt has been eliminated through the use of proceeds from the July 23 equity issue. For the first six months of 2003, interest expense was $10.0 million compared to $5.8 million for the first half of 2002. In addition to the one time charges related to interest rate swaps, the increase in interest expense also reflects higher average debt and higher short term interest rates in 2003 compared to 2002.
Depletion and Depreciation
Depletion and depreciation increased to $43.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the six month period, depletion and depreciation was $86.7 million compared to $62.1 million in the first half of 2002. On a per boe basis, depletion and depreciation has increased to $9.62 per boe in the first half of 2003 compared to $8.31 per boe in the first half of 2002. The shorter reserve life of the B.C. properties acquired in the third quarter of 2002 has increased the depletion rate and the higher per boe acquisition cost of these properties (due in part to shorter reserve life) has also increased the depletion amount per boe. The recent purchase of a working interest in the SOEP processing facilities, with no associated increase in reserves also increases the amount of depreciation per boe.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Pengrowths long-term debt at June 30, 2003 was $334 million, compared to $317 million at December 31, 2002. The ratio of debt to trailing 12-month distributable cash at June 30, 2003 was 1.2 times, compared to 1.6 times at December 31, 2002. The ratio of long-term debt to long term debt plus equity is 24% at June 30, 2003, up slightly from 23% at year-end 2002, however this ratio is reduced to approximately 15% pro-forma the July equity issue. Distributable cash covered interest expense by 16 times in the first six months of 2003.
On April 23, 2003 Pengrowth closed a US $200 million private placement of senior unsecured notes comprised of US $150 million 4.93% notes due April 2010, and US $50 million 5.47% notes due April 2013. Net proceeds of this offering of approximately Cdn $290 million were used to replace most of Pengrowths outstanding bank debt. Total debt issuance costs incurred in connection with this private placement were approximately $2.1 million and this amount will be amortized over the term of the US$ debt.
During the first half of 2003, $24.4 million of new equity was provided through the exercise of trust unit options and funds received through the Pengrowth DRIP program.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 23, 2003, Pengrowth successfully completed a public equity offering consisting of 8.5 million trust units at $16.95 per unit to raise total gross proceeds of $144.1 million. A portion of the net proceeds from this issue was used to re-pay bank indebtedness incurred to fund prior acquisitions of petroleum and natural gas properties and the balance will be available for potential future acquisitions.
Acquisitions
On May 8, 2003, Pengrowth acquired an 8.4% working interest in the SOEP natural gas and natural gas liquid processing facilities downstream of the Thebaud Central Processing Platform for net closing payments of approximately $57 million net of adjustments for capital, processing fees and interest.
On June 27, 2003, Pengrowth purchased interests in eleven significant discovery licenses (SDLs) from Nova Scotia Resources (Ventures) Limited (NSRVL) for $4.5 million plus a 10% Net Profits Interest to NSRVL.
Capital Spending
Capital expenditures for the six months ending June 30, 2003 totaled $35.5 million of which $31.0 million was spent on drilling, completion and tie-ins, and $4.5 million was spent on facilities. 2003 expenditures include $9.6 million at Judy Creek, $7.8 million at Sable, $3.9 million at Weyburn, $3.1 million at McLeod River, $2.6 million at Oak, and $1.9 million at Elm.
Over 50% of first half capital expenditures have been funded through the 10% holdback from distributable cash.
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Second quarter development activities at Pengrowths major properties include the following: (all production volumes stated below are net to Pengrowth unless otherwise stated)
OPERATED PROPERTIES:
Judy Creek:
| A significant well workover at an A Pool producer increased oil rates by 55 bpd. A second significant workover of a suspended A Pool producer resulted in the well being reactivated with initial oil rates of 100 bpd. | ||
| One oil well was drilled in the Southwest quadrant of A Pool. Oil production has averaged 85 bpd in the first month of operation. One horizontal solvent injector and one vertical water injector were also drilled in the second quarter. | ||
| A second injection well booster pump was installed in the second quarter, increasing the water injection rate from 800 to 2200 bpd. This will result in improved water flood oil recovery in the pattern. |
McLeod River:
| To date in 2003 four wells have been drilled and cased. Two of these wells are now on production and two are being evaluated. One additional location will be drilled in the third quarter. McLeod production is steady at approximately 10.0 mmcf/d (net to Pengrowth) due to the new wells coming on-stream. |
Oak:
| Oak C unitization is complete. Water injection commenced on April 18th. Initial response is expected by year-end. |
Squirrel:
| 12-01 well was fractured in mid June, oil production increased from 45 to 195 bpd. | ||
| Source water injection was increased and one high water cut well was shut-in, reducing the requirement for gas reinjection. This allowed gas production and sales to be increased from 2 to 3 weeks per month. |
Willow:
| A suspended Halfway gas well was brought into production on May 12th at 500 mcf/d. |
Laprise c-18-l:
| Road construction has been completed and the pipeline construction is in progress. A compressor package has been fabricated and depending on weather, construction should be completed in August. Expected production is 1.0 mmcf/d. |
Tupper:
| The first of 3 potential Paddy gas wells, in which Pengrowth has a 50% working interest, is scheduled to spud on August 8, 2003. |
Fireweed:
| A suspended well was tested at 750 mcf/d. Work is in progress on the tie-in. |
Rigel:
| Ongoing optimization has resulted in two pumpjack upgrades and 75 bpd increase in oil production. |
B.C. Undeveloped Lands:
| Pengrowth owns approximately 247,000 net acres of net undeveloped land in Northeastern B.C. On these lands, Pengrowth has completed 10 farmout transactions with other companies and our land department is actively pursuing other transactions. Year to date, our farmout activities have resulted in 15 wells drilled, 6 wells reworked and 5 wells committed to but not yet drilled. Approximately $12 million has been spent by others on Pengrowth undeveloped B.C. lands so far this year. |
NON-OPERATED PROPERTIES:
Sable Offshore Energy Project:
Tier 1 |
| Second quarter raw gas production averaged 475 mmcf/d (39.9 mmcf/d net to Pengrowths royalty interest) with a year to date average for the first six months of 467 mmcf/d (39.2 mmcf/d net). |
Tier 2 Project Status Review |
| Both the Alma 1 and Alma 2 wells have been drilled and are being completed. The jackets are in place and waiting for installation of the topsides which are being built in the Gulf of Mexico. Production from Alma is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2003. | ||
| South Venture detailed engineering is nearly complete with construction of the topsides and jackets underway. | ||
| The resource outlook and development concepts for Glenelg are continuing to be evaluated. |
Weyburn:
| Two WAG (water alternating gas) injection wells were drilled in the second quarter. | ||
| Other major capital projects underway include Phase 1C of the CO2 miscible injection. Phase 1C includes eight new patterns that commenced injection in June and are slated for full development this year. A ninth pattern has seen CO2 encroachment and was also put on injection in February. It will be fully developed as part of the 14 pattern program for 2004. | ||
| There are now 32 active CO2 patterns in the unit. The CO2 injection volumes are currently averaging 96 mmcf/d. |
Swan Hills:
| The operator, Devon, has proposed a three well drilling program to test for oil potential in the northwestern platform area of the unit during the third quarter of 2003. If the project is successful, the incremental production could be on-stream by November. The operator believes that success in this area of the pool could lead to four to six more locations in 2004. | ||
| Devon is also in the process of evaluating the potential for a CO2 flood. |
2003 Tax Estimate Update
Pengrowth forecasts that in the current commodity price environment, approximately 55-60% of distributions paid in 2003 to Canadian investors will be taxable to unitholders, with the remainder of distributions treated as return of capital and thus tax deferred. This estimate reflects the additional equity proceeds received in July.
Conference Call and Webcast
Pengrowth will be conducting a conference call and webcast for analysts, brokers, investors and media representatives regarding its second quarter results at 1:30 P.M. Mountain Daylight Time (3:30 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, July 31, 2003.

On April 23, 2003, Pengrowth closed a U.S.$200 million private placement of senior unsecured notes to a group of U.S. investors. The notes were offered in two tranches of U.S.$150 million at 4.93% due April 2010 and U.S.$50 million at 5.47% due in April 2013. Interest is paid semi-annually on the notes. The proceeds from the private placement were used to repay a portion of Pengrowths outstanding bank debt. Costs incurred in connection with issuing the notes, in the amount of $2,138,000, are being amortized straight line over the term of the notes. | ||
In June 2003, the Corporation negotiated a $225 million revolving credit facility syndicated among eight financial institutions with an extendible 364 day revolving period and a two year amortization term period. In addition, it has a $35 million demand operating line of credit. The borrowing capacity under these facilities is currently reduced by outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $34 million. For 2004, the borrowing capacity will be reduced by a further $25 million of letters of credit.

5. | GUARANTEE | |
Pengrowth has adopted the provisions of Accounting Guideline acG-14, Disclosure of Guarantees. | ||
As at June 30, 2003, the Corporation has provided a guarantee to an investment dealer pursuant to the employee Trust Unit Margin Purchase Plan. Under the terms of this plan, participants may purchase trust units and finance up to 75% of the purchase price through the investment dealer. Participants maintain personal margin loans with the investment dealer and are responsible for all interest costs and obligations with respect to their margin loans. The Corporation has provided a $5 million letter of credit to the investment dealer in relation to amounts owing under the plan. | ||
The Corporation acts as a guarantor on all margin loans under the plan. As at June 30, 2003, 2,483,076 trust units were deposited under the plan with a market value of $42,833,061 and a corresponding margin loan of $7,738,590. The investment dealer has limited the total margin loan available under the plan to the lesser of $15 million or 35% of the market value of the units held under the plan. If the market value of the trust units under the plan declines, the Corporation may be required to make payments or post additional letters of credit to the investment dealer. Any payments to be made by the Corporation would be reduced by proceeds of liquidating the individuals trust units held under the plan. | ||

8. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
Interest Rate Risk | ||
On April 23, 2003, Pengrowth completed a US$200 million private placement of fixed rate seven and ten year term notes. Proceeds from the notes were used to pay down existing floating rate bank debt. Pengrowth had previously fixed the interest rates on $125 million of bank debt using interest rate swaps. During the second quarter, Pengrowth terminated $75 million of the swaps at a cost of $1,045,000. | ||
Pengrowth has two interest rate swaps that remain outstanding on a total of $50 million of bank debt. The first swap on $25 million of debt has a fixed rate of 4.22% and expires November, 2004. The second swap on $25 million has a fixed rate of 4.34% and expires March, 2005. | ||
The estimated fair value of the remaining interest rate swaps has been determined based on the amount Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at period end. At June 30, 2003, the amount Pengrowth would pay to terminate the interest rate swaps is $908,000. | ||
Foreign Exchange Risk | ||
Pengrowth entered into a foreign exchange swap which fixed the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate at Cdn$1.55 per U.S.$1 on U.S.$750,000 per month for 2003 and 2004. This swap has mitigated a portion of the exchange risk on U.S. dollar denominated gas sales. The estimated fair value of the foreign exchange swap has been determined based on the amount Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate the contract at period end. At June 30, 2003, the amount Pengrowth would receive to terminate the foreign exchange swap would be Cdn$2,290,000. | ||
Forward and Futures Contracts | ||
Pengrowth has a price risk management program whereby the commodity price associated with a portion of its future production is fixed. Pengrowth sells forward a portion of its future production through a combination of fixed price sales contracts with customers and commodity swap agreements with financial counterparties. The forward and futures contracts are subject to market risk from fluctuating commodity prices and exchange rates. | ||
As at June 30, 2003, Pengrowth had fixed the price applicable to future production as follows: | ||

The estimated fair value of the financial crude oil and natural gas contracts has been determined based on the amounts Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at period-end. At June 30, 2003, the amount Pengrowth would receive to terminate the financial crude oil contracts is $10,851,000, and the amount Pengrowth would pay to terminate the financial natural gas contracts is $15,026,000. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The carrying value of financial instruments included in the balance sheet, other than long-term debt and remediation trust fund, approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The fair value of the Remediation Trust Fund at June 30, 2003 was $7,511,500 (December 31, 2002 $7,193,000). The fair value of the US denominated debt approximates its carrying value as the rate on the debt does not vary significantly from market rates. |
9. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
On July 23, 2003, Pengrowth completed a public equity offering in Canada, issuing 8.5 million units to raise gross proceeds of $144.1 million. |
