QWhat is an energy royalty trust?
AA royalty trust is a tax advantaged equity investment structuredesigned to accomplish the following:
• To purchase and manage a portfolio of mature producing oil and gas properties on behalf of its unitholders (investors).
• To receive monthly revenue generated from the oil and gas production of these properties and to pay out the net revenue (cash flow) after operations costs and expenses of the trust on a monthly basis.

QIs an energy royalty trust
a fixed income investment?
A• No, a royalty trust is characterized as a high-yield investment instrument.• The monthly payout, or cash distribution, is not fixed and is not guaranteed.• The level of cash distributions is largely a function of oil and gas production,
the costs incurred to operate the properties of the trust, and the commodity prices received during the time period. Production, costs and prices fluctuate.

QIs there more risk associated from investing in an
energy royalty trust than a conventional oil and gas company?
APengrowth’s overall risk profile is generally lower than a conventional oil and gas exploration company:
• Pengrowth focuses on lower risk development drilling opportunities and avoids high risk exploration.
• Pengrowth’s properties have a history of production, a high proportion of proven reserves and predictable future production profiles.
• Pengrowth’s properties produce premium priced light crude oil and natural gas that can withstand swings in commodity prices and continue to generate strong cash flows.
• Pengrowth pays out its net cash flows to unitholders as physical evidence ofsuccess every month.

QMy electric bills keep increasing and every time
I fill my car I pay more for gas.How will investing in Pengrowth help me?
A• Pengrowth’s investors are basically buying a small interest
in a large pool of oil and gas properties and receiving the net cash flow from these properties.
• With a monthly cash payment from Pengrowth, investors canoffset their energy costs.
During periods of rising energy costs, Pengrowth’s monthly distributions increase.

Record distributable income of $3.785 per unit
Record production of 17,599 barrels of oil per day, 4,205 barrels of natural gas liquids per day, and 70 million cubic feet of gas per day
Record commodity prices of $40.37 per barrel for crude oil and $4.34 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas
Over 175 percent of production was replaced by acquisitions in 2000
Subsequent to year-end Pengrowth entered into a proposed property transaction, the successful completion of which will increase the proportion of natural gas production to 41 percent and increase Established reserves to 237 million barrels of oil equivalent (6:1 basis).

Review of the Year 20002000 was indeed a favourable year for the
Unitholders of Pengrowth Energy Trust.
OperationsProduction of both crude oil and natural gas reached
record levels, averaging 17,599 barrels per day of oil (a
marginal increase over 17,570 barrels per day in 1999)
and 70.1 million cubic feet of natural gas daily (14
percent over the previous year). Total barrels of oil
equivalent (boe) production on a 6:1 basis increased 6
percent from 31,821 to 33,581 boe per day.
ReservesTotal oil and natural gas reserves also increased by 4
percent from 176.6 million boe at year-end 1999 to
183.0 million boe at December 31, 2000 with an average
reserve life index of 13.2 years (GLJ), as compared with
15.1 years the previous year, reflecting the acquisition of
lower reserve life index properties during the year.
DistributionsMore significantly to our unitholders, distributable
income during the year increased by 70 percent from
$128.2 million or $2.49 per trust unit to $218.3 million
or $3.79 per trust unit, reflecting both the 6 percent
increase in overall production, and more importantly a
56 percent increase in the average price received per boe.
Average price realizations increased from $21.73 per boe
in 1999 to $33.87 per boe in 2000. Prices for crude oil
and natural gas have remained firm to date this year, and
at the time of writing are approximately $44.00 per boe.
Cost Effective Management of the Resource BaseOverall operating costs (prior to solvent
amortization) increased by 13 percent from $57.6
million to $65.2 million, mainly reflecting the new
properties acquired during the year. On a per boe basis,
operating costs increased by 7 percent from $4.96 to
$5.30, which essentially reflected the advent of increased
electric power costs later in the year.

With a full year of higher electric power costs in
2001, a further increase in operating costs in the range of
$6.00 to $6.50 per barrel of oil equivalent level is now
projected for the current year.
General and administrative costs (G&A) rose by 19
percent from $6.0 million in 1999 to $7.1 million which,
in part, reflects the additional costs of managing newly
acquired properties. On a per boe basis, G&A costs rose
from $0.51 in 1999 to $0.58 in 2000, an increase of 14
percent. However, Pengrowth’s combined G&A costs
and management fees, at $1.14 per boe in 2000 (versus
$0.90 per boe in 1999) remained among the lowest in its
peer group, according to independent financial analysts.
It is one of management’s goals to keep the combined
cost structure in the lowest quartile.
Prudent Development of ReservesDuring 2000, Pengrowth’s capital expenditures
totalled $59.8 million as compared with $17.7 million
the previous year. During 1999, most industry
participants, including Pengrowth, significantly reduced
capital expenditures in response to the steep decline in
crude oil prices to lows in the US$12.00 per barrel range
during the second half of 1998.
Pengrowth’s finding and development (F&D) costs
were $9.28 per boe in 2000, reflecting a trend towards
higher F&D costs generally in the Canadian industry.
Three-year F&D costs averaged $7.98 per boe. The
recycle ratio, which measures the efficiency in which new
reserves are added, was 2.2 times in 2000, and the three-
year average was 1.8 times.
Generally, a recycle ratio of 2.0 or better is
considered favourable, and it is Pengrowth’s goal to
improve on the results of its development programs.
Economic Reserve ReplacementDue to the ongoing depletion of our reservoirs, it is
essential that Pengrowth strive to replace each year’s
production on an annual basis. During 2000, Pengrowth
acquired 21.5 million boe of established reserves, with
an average reserve life index (RLI) of 12.4 years at a
price of $8.34 per boe which replaced over 1.75 times
the current year’s production. Specific acquisitions
included the purchase of the Nipisi Non-Unit interest on
October 3, representing 5.5 million boe (RLI of 10
years), at a price of $9.55 per boe, or $51.6 million. In
December, Pengrowth acquired $128 million in new

reserves (net of asset dispositions) totalling 16.1 million
boe in six producing oil and gas units, (RLI 14 years), at
$7.95 per boe. The purchases met or exceeded
Pengrowth’s target acquisition criteria. The year 2000
acquisitions were similar to 1999 when Pengrowth
acquired 26.7 million boe at an average cost of $5.31 per
boe, replacing approximately two times annual
production in that year. The higher prices paid per boe in
2000 reflected the significant increase in crude oil and
natural gas prices during the year. Over the past five
years, Pengrowth has replaced reserves an average of 3.7
times current production, and it is Pengrowth’s intent to
continue to more than replace annual production each
year through prudent reserve acquisitions.
Pengrowth has steadfastly adhered to its stringent
investment criteria, which has withstood the test of time,
and resulted in above average performance.
Maintaining a Sound Financial ConditionDuring November and December 2000, Pengrowth
concluded the largest equity offering in the Canadian oil
and gas industry, raising a total $155.1 million (gross)
through the issuance of 8.16 million trust units at $19.00
per trust unit. The net proceeds were applied to the
acquisition of the properties referred to in the previous
section. At year-end 2000, Pengrowth’s long-term debt
totalled $286.8 million as compared with $230.3 million
at the previous year-end. Year-end debt divided by 2000
distributable income was 1.3 times as compared with 1.8
times at year-end 1999. However, distributable income
was considerably higher in 2000 as a result of a
significant improvement in oil and natural gas prices
during the year.
All Pengrowth’s present borrowings are bank debt,
syndicated among seven major chartered banks.
Pengrowth may consider the issuance of longer term
debt financing through either private placement or
public markets at an appropriate time in the future. Late
in 2000, Pengrowth began to market various interests in
non-core assets valued at approximately $40-$50
million. Pengrowth’s continuing goal is to maintain
a solid financial structure, financing major acquisitions
with equity issues and employing prudent levels of
debt financing.
Pengrowth has raised over $1 billion in new equity
through eleven public offerings since its inception in
December 1988. As a result of this growth, Pengrowth
now ranks among the top fifteen independent oil and gas
producers in Western Canada, with a market
capitalization exceeding $1.3 billion, providing an
increased level of market liquidity for the investors.
Pengrowth Continues to OutperformThe following graphs from independent research
analysts illustrate that Pengrowth continues to
outperform its peers in the area of production and
reserves per trust unit, reserve replacement and overall
market performance. Pengrowth continues to be the
Benchmark of Energy Trusts.
Our distributions on a per trust unit basis have
grown at a compound rate of 19 percent per year since
the Trust was created in December 1988. Considered on
a total return basis, Pengrowth unitholders have seen
their investment outperform both fixed rate instruments
such as bonds and treasury bills by a wide margin, as
well as the Toronto Stock Exchange’s index of the largest
300 public companies and the Canadian Oil and Gas
Producers Index.
Pengrowth has also been highly competitive as a
business. The Financial Post ranked Pengrowth number
36 out of 500 companies in terms of 1999 profit margin.
Pengrowth was also ranked number 26 with respect to

growth in profits over the five years ended December 31,
1999. The Globe and Mail Report on Business Magazine
ranked Pengrowth number 50 out of 1,000 companies in
terms of growth in revenue over the five year period
ending December 31, 1999. We were also pleased that
our 1999 Annual Report received an Oilweek award for
having the best content among intermediate-sized oil and
gas companies.
Industry Environment Creates OpportunitiesThe ongoing oil and gas industry consolidation
continues in earnest in Canada. In recent months, well
known public mid to large capitalization companies such
as Cabre, Newport, Renaissance, Numac, Startech,
Berkley, Ulster and Place, among others, have been
acquired, leaving the mid-cap market (in the range of $0.5
billion to $2 billion) with very few remaining companies.
Some industry observers believe that the energy trusts may
now represent the new mid-cap market.
The continuing industry consolidation will result in
additional assets becoming available for acquisition and
Pengrowth is poised to continue to add value through its
focused and prudent acquisition program.
Commodity Price Outlook and Hedging ProgramCrude Oil
Crude oil prices rebounded in 2000 to average
US$30.20 during 2000 (Cdn$44.00) as compared with
US$19.30 during 1999 (Cdn$28.00) and Pengrowth’s
realized prices for each year reflected these averages after
allowance for hedging activities.
The OPEC countries have established price targets
for a basket of OPEC crudes in the West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) range of US$24-$30. Current crude
prices are US$28.00 per barrel (Cdn$44.00), towards
the higher end of the suggested OPEC range. There has
been evidence of increased cohesion among the OPEC
countries with respect to crude oil price support;
however the widening U.S. economic slowdown could
affect OPEC’s resolve and prices could weaken from
current levels. Pengrowth has contracted to sell forward
1,000 barrels of oil per day during the balance of 2001
at an average price of Cdn$32.02 per barrel. This
represents approximately 5 percent of Pengrowth’s 2001
estimated oil production.

Natural GasCurrent Canadian natural gas prices are approximately
Cdn$7.00 at AECO, significantly higher then the former
Cdn$2.50-$3.00 levels that existed a year ago. While this
is indeed a significant increase, in part it reflects the reality
of the marketplace in which high rates of production
declines in North America are creating a very tight supply
situation in natural gas products. This is particularly true
in an environment of accelerated new gas-fired electric
power generating plant construction, particularly in the
United States. For example, California, which has not
experienced any new electric power plant construction in
the past ten years, is proposing up to 40 new electrical
generating facilities over the next five years, most of which
will be gas-fired.
A similar situation, on perhaps a smaller scale, is also
anticipated in neighbouring Arizona. The advent of
accelerated gas-fired power plant construction will serve to
keep demand growing and higher gas prices will be
required to stimulate new natural gas exploration and
development.
Pengrowth has sold forward approximately 18 percent
of projected 2001 gas production at $2.97 per thousand
cubic feet and about 11 percent of 2002 production at
$2.98 per thousand cubic feet. Further forward sales of gas
are possible, however the current market fundamentals for
natural gas are very favourable.
Pengrowth is also continuing its endeavours to increase
its exposure to the North American natural gas industry,
particularly through its acquisition program. For example,
the proportion of natural gas to Pengrowth’s total boe
sales rose from 32 percent in 1999 to 35 percent in 2000,
and Pengrowth’s goal is to increase this proportion further
in the future.
New Capital MarketsPengrowth is continuing its endeavours to source
equity capital from new sectors within the domestic
market, and also from investors located outside Canada.
Pengrowth has made inquiries regarding the potential for
listing on other world stock exchanges and may consider
these possibilities if it can achieve improved market
liquidity and investor demand.
Building our Human ResourcesWe wish to extend a hearty welcome to the new
Pengrowth team members. Our success is a tribute to all
team members at Pengrowth who have worked diligently
over the years.
Pengrowth’s compensation system has been designed
to reward outstanding individual performance through a
program of trust unit options and a generous bonus
program. These programs have contributed in a positive
and tangible way toward the success of Pengrowth.
During 2000, Carol Donald, Assistant Corporate
Secretary, who had been with the Pengrowth group since
its inception 18 years ago, retired. Pengrowth thanks
Carol for her exceptional contributions, which were
always above and beyond, and wishes her a long and
enjoyable retirement.
Nova ScotiaPotential Sable Island Investment
On February 6, 2001 Pengrowth announced that it had
reached agreement along with Emera Inc. and
PanCanadian Petroleum to acquire the Nova Scotia
government’s 100 percent interest in Nova Scotia
Resources Ltd. for $420 million. Pengrowth’s interest is in
the natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves, which
would involve an investment of $265 million. The
acquisition is subject to rights of first refusal held by the
other co-venturers which include Exxon/Mobil and Shell.
The results of this process may be known in April, 2001.
Pengrowth will provide further information on this project
as it becomes available.
AcknowledgementsI would like to express my sincere thanks to the 158
men and women of Pengrowth who have contributed to
Pengrowth’s success. They have been dedicated, talented
and innovative in searching for new ways to increase
unitholder value.
I also thank our Board of Directors for their guidance
over the past year and our unitholders who stayed the
course through the commodity price cycle and are now
reaping the benefits of our strong performance.

Facility Optimization
Pengrowth has instituted a continuous program of
facilities optimization – projects that improve the
efficiency of the Judy Creek operations. During 2000,
the most significant project was the replacement of a
13,500 horsepower electric-drive compressor with three
surplus gas-drive compressors. As a result, we anticipate
an annual cost reduction of $6.5 million.

Judy Creek A & B PoolsJudy Creek, consisting of two pools, A Pool (100
percent working interest) and B Pool (94.6 percent
working interest), is Pengrowth’s largest property,
accounting for 50 percent of total production during
2000. Since assuming operatorship in 1998,
Pengrowth has successfully reversed production
declines through miscible flooding and infill drilling.
During 2000, seven new solvent injection well
patterns were initiated through a combination of
drilling new wells and converting existing wells to
injection. On the east side of A Pool, solvent injection
commenced at two new well patterns during 2000,
continuing a program that began in 1998. In
preparation for 2001 solvent injection, two horizontal
miscible injection wells had been drilled by year-end
and four new patterns of injection were expanded into
the northwest quadrant of the pool. One new pattern
was drilled at the west side of the unit, becoming active
for the first time since 1998.
Development drilling activities during 2000
included nine successful infill oil wells drilled in the
northwest part of A Pool. These wells will benefit from
both waterflooding and miscible flooding. Oil
production from the northwest infill-drilling program
averaged 480 barrels per day for 2000; by year-end
daily oil production from the new wells exceeded 950
barrels per day.
Development plans in 2001 include drilling two
production wells and one horizontal miscible injection
well. These wells, combined with work performed in
late 2000, will support the start-up of five new
miscible injection patterns during 2001. The feasibility
of supplementing the program with additional
production locations and water injection wells is being
studied.
By utilizing updated 3-D seismic data obtained
during 1999, Pengrowth has identified several
potential new edge well drilling locations along the
edge of A Pool. We expect to drill an edge well during
early 2001, with additional locations dependent on the
results of the well. The successful edge well drilled in
1999 (based on 3-D seismic information) averaged 128
barrels per day during 2000.
Ongoing evaluation and the recent acquisition of
lands adjoining A and B Pools has enabled Pengrowth
to identify several shallow gas drilling opportunities,
including new well locations and the re-entry of
existing wells during 2001.

To maximize the natural gas facility utilization, Pengrowth
custom processes third party gas. For example, by
extending our gas gathering system we attracted 9 million
cubic feet per day of gas for custom processing and
increased the possibility of additional tie-ins. This
required the recommissioning of 5.5 miles of suspended
lines and installation of 5 miles of new line.

Solvents injected into the Judy Creek reservoir through horizontal wells mobilize additional oil and sweep it to producing wells,increasing recovery. The effect of this technology is shown in the graph below by the production increase that began in late 1998.
Drilling infill wells at Judy Creek has added incremental production beyond the miscible flood response.

QPengrowth has more crude oil than
natural gas property interests.Why?
A • Our approach to creating ongoing value for existing unit-
holders is through the acquisition of quality properties in either commodity.
• We are an opportunistic acquisitor, meaning that we acquireproperties that add value for our investors.
• Crude oil properties may offer more opportunity to maximize recovery through new technologies, as they usually have a longer reserve life and more reserves in place that can be unlocked in the future as technology and ecomomics advance.
• However, some natural gas properties also offer significant value to unitholders, such as McLeod River and Monogram.

McLeod RiverPengrowth drilled eight new wells during 2000, with a
working interest in these wells ranging from 25 to 100
percent. Results of the drilling program included two
producing gas wells, two producing oil wells, one
suspended well, one well being tested and two abandoned
wells. Two previously suspended gas wells were also tied-
in and commenced production by year-end 2000. A
compressor station was constructed and brought
onstream in early 2000 to minimize the back-pressure on
several gas wells. Production volumes from the successful
wells partially offset natural production declines. McLeod
River production at year-end 2000 averaged 11 million
cubic feet per day of natural gas and 417 barrels per day
of crude oil and natural gas liquids.
Two new sections of land at 29 and 31-55-15 W5M
were purchased during 2000 that will provide additional
development opportunities in the McLeod River area.
Development plans for 2001 include the drilling of up to
eight new wells and tieing-in five suspended wells.

NipisiDuring the fourth quarter of 2000, Pengrowth acquired a
working interest in, and became operator of, the Nipisi
non-unit property. This property includes 32 producing
oil wells on 8,800 gross acres and a 100 percent working
interest in an oil battery and a natural gas processing
plant. Pengrowth holds a 95 percent average working
interest in the Nipisi non-unit oil wells. Established
reserves for this property are estimated at 5.5 million
barrels of oil equivalent. At the time of the acquisition,
production was 1,520 barrels of oil equivalent per day,
which includes high quality 40º API crude oil, and
operating costs were $4.44 per barrel of oil equivalent.
Development plans for 2001 include the exploitation
of bypassed pay zones, increased water injection, the
installation of higher capacity pumps and well workovers.
After reviewing the 3-D seismic and examining the
performance of offsetting wells, we have identified two
new infill drilling locations.

WeyburnDuring 2000, Pengrowth increased its working interest
from 5.18 percent to 9.75 percent in this crude oil
property, making it the second largest working
interest holder.
The field was discovered in 1954 and unitized in
1962. The unit has an estimated economic reserve life of
49 years and has produced almost 350 million barrels of
oil, which represents approximately 25 percent of the
1.4 billion barrels of original oil-in-place.
A carbon dioxide (CO2) miscible flood project was
initiated in 2000 with the objective of recovering an
additional 120 million barrels of oil during the next 20
years. The CO2 flood project is a tertiary enhanced
recovery technique that injects carbon dioxide into the
reservoir, mixing it with the remaining oil. The CO2 acts
as a solvent making the oil more mobile by lowering its
viscosity. As the reservoir pressure increases with
continued injection, banks of oil are driven to the
producing wells. This flood is projected to increase the
unit’s oil production from 18,400 barrels per day to
30,000 barrels per day by 2008.
Carbon dioxide is supplied to the Weyburn project
through a 325-kilometre pipeline that was built from
Beulah, North Dakota to Weyburn, Saskatchewan during
1999. PanCanadian Petroleum Limited, the operator of
the unit, receives the injectant at a terminal inside the
southern border of the unit. Injection for the first phase of
the project began in October 2000 and the first
production response is expected by early 2002. An
extension of the flood program is under review and a
royalty rate has been negotiated with the Saskatchewan
Government that will ensure continued economical
development.

MonogramPengrowth holds a 53.82 percent working interest in the
Monogram Gas Unit, near Medicine Hat, Alberta. This
PanCanadian Petroleum Limited operated property produces
sweet, dry natural gas from shallow formations. Presently
374 wells produce a total of 18.4 million cubic feet per
day. Natural gas production was maintained during 2000
through an ongoing well optimization program.
A 40-well development drilling program is scheduled
for completion during March 2001. This drilling program
is based on an analysis of both geological mapping and
well spacing, as well as production decline curve analysis.
The additional wells will accelerate production and
increase overall recovery by accessing reserves in lower
permeability areas of the north-half of the unit. Central
compression facilities were upgraded in Fall 2000 to
accommodate this growth in production and allow for
additional processing of third party gas volumes.
Pengrowth’s total capital costs of the drilling program are
estimated to be $3.2 million, while incremental operating
costs will be approximately $0.12 per thousand cubic
feet, or less than $300 per well per month. The
development program will maintain Monogram’s low
operating costs and high netbacks while providing a
relatively short payout of the investment.

Pengrowth acquired Established reserves of 21.5 million
barrels of oil equivalent on a 6:1 basis in transactions
totalling $179.6 million during 2000. These acquisitions
replaced over 175 percent of 2000 production at a cost of
$8.34 per barrel of oil equivalent. Eighty-three percent of
the reserves were oil, nine percent were gas and the
remaining eight percent were natural gas liquids. Seven
properties were acquired with an average reserve life index
of 12.4 years. In addition to Nipisi and the increased
interest at Weyburn, assets were also acquired at Minnehik-
Buck Lake, House Mountain (two properties), Goose River
and Mitsue.
Minnehik-Buck LakeThe Minnehik-Buck Lake property, acquired during
December 2000, is producing, net to Pengrowth, 4.3
million cubic feet per day of natural gas from 15 wells.
Pengrowth has a 17.9 percent interest in the Minnehik-
Buck Lake Unit #1 and gas plant, from which third party
gas processing revenue is received. This long-life field,
operated by Penn West Petroleum Ltd., has been producing
since the 1950s and exhibits a low current decline rate.

Goose River
A 42.25 percent working interest was acquired in late
2000 in the Goose River Unit #1, a property operated by
Gulf Canada Resources Limited. Pengrowth’s share of
light crude oil production is approximately 1,150 barrels
per day, obtained from 28 producing wells and 17
miscible flood injection wells. Established reserves are
estimated at 4.3 million barrels of oil and NGLs and 2.3
billion cubic feet of gas at the time of acquisition. Future
development plans include an expansion of the miscible
flood program with three or more additional flood
patterns. In addition, fourteen new development well
locations have been identified.

House Mountain
During December 2000, Pengrowth announced the
acquisition of a 12.1 percent working interest in House
Mountain Unit #1 and a 7.05 percent working interest in
House Mountain Unit #2, both operated by Apache
Canada Ltd. Established reserves were estimated at 4.1
million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids and 340
million cubic feet of natural gas, net to Pengrowth. The
units have undergone a waterflood and together produce
565 barrels per day of light crude oil and 50 mcf per day
of natural gas liquids from 279 wells. A program of drilling
horizontal sidetrack wells and fracture stimulations in
2000 has increased production, improved sweep efficiency
and led to additional reservoir recovery. Production
increases from horizontal well re-entries, reactivations and
waterflood optimizations are expected in 2001.

Achieved record distributions to unitholders.
• Distributable income increased 70% to $218 million.
• Distributable income per trust unit increased 52% to $3.785.
Oil and gas sales increased 65% to $416 million.
Production increased 6% to 33,581 boe per day.
Established reserves increased 4% to 183 mmboe.
Purchased 21.5 mmboe of Established reserves in 2000 for total cash consideration of $179.6 million to replace over 175% of production.
Raised gross proceeds of approximately $155 million through a public offering of 8,165,000 trust units at $19.00 per unit in November 2000.
Conversion of Natural Gas to OilIn the past, the practice in the Canadian petroleum and natural gas industry has been to convert natural gas to equivalent
barrels of oil at a ratio of 10 thousand cubic feet (mcf) to 1 barrel (10:1). This conversion rate was supported by the
value of gas within Alberta relative to oil. Over the last 18 months, with increased export pipeline capacity to the U.S.,
Canadian natural gas prices have increased relative to oil prices, and Pengrowth has adopted the international standard
of 6 mcf to 1 barrel (6:1) when converting natural gas to oil within this discussion and analysis.
Subsequent Events - Non-Core Property Dispositions and Acquisitions of Kaybob Notikewin and Sable Offshore Energy ProjectPengrowth continuously evaluates its property portfolio, and in January 2001, announced that it was soliciting offers for
a package of non-core properties that were no longer part of Pengrowth’s strategic direction. The disposition package
represents 8.2 mmboe of Established reserves and current production of approximately 1,300 boe per day of crude oil
and NGLs, with 3.2 mmcf per day of natural gas. Pengrowth expects to close the dispositions in the second quarter of 2001.
On February 2, 2001 Pengrowth announced it had entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 43.5%
working interest in the Kaybob Notikewin Unit for $25.2 million, subject to rights of first refusal (ROFRs). The
acquisition of this natural gas producing property is expected to close in the first quarter of 2001.

On February 6, 2001 Pengrowth reached an agreement, along with two other companies, to acquire Nova Scotia
Resources Limited (NSRL) from the Province of Nova Scotia. The transaction, which is subject to rights of first refusal,
is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2001. Pengrowth’s portion of the purchase price is $265 million,
representing approximately 63% of the total purchase price for NSRL of $420 million. The acquisition is structured to
provide Pengrowth with a royalty interest, convertible into a working interest, in the natural gas and natural gas liquids
reserves from NSRL’s 8.4% interest in the Sable Offshore Energy Project (the “SOEP Royalty”).
None of these transactions – the non-core disposition package, the acquisition of Kaybob Notikewin, or the
acquisition of the SOEP Royalty, are reflected in Pengrowth’s fiscal 2000 financial results, reserves, or production.
Pengrowth’s 2000 production portfolio was weighted 52% crude oil and 35% natural gas, with the remaining 13% made
up of natural gas liquids and sulphur. Five areas (Judy Creek, Swan Hills, McLeod River, Enchant and Weyburn) accounted for
60% of the total daily production in 2000. The exit production rate for the month of December 2000 was 38,070 boe per day.
With the potential acquisition of Kaybob Notikewin and the SOEP Royalty mentioned earlier, Pengrowth’s
production may become significantly more weighted to natural gas in 2001, with the following proforma profile: 47%
crude oil, 41% natural gas, and 12% natural gas liquids.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONSProductionDaily production increased an average of 6% during 2000. This increase can be attributed mainly to the acquisition of the
Nipisi non-unit properties in October, and the acquisition of the following properties in December: Goose River Unit #1,
Minnehik-Buck Lake Unit #1, Weyburn, and Mitsue Gilwood Sand Unit #1. These acquisitions, combined with the results
of our development program, more than offset the decline in reserves resulting from production.
During the year, production decreased only 3.8% at Pengrowth’s largest property, Judy Creek, where Pengrowth’s
development program of infill drilling and miscible flooding helped to mitigate production declines. Natural gas
production increased mainly due to the full year impact of McLeod River (purchased in October 1999), the purchase
of Minnehik-Buck Lake in December 2000, as well as internal development programs. Several properties, such as
Monogram, Hanlan, and Dunvegan experienced a growth in production in 2000 when compared to last year.

Pricing and Product MarketingPengrowth’s average crude oil price increased 51% from 1999 levels to average Cdn$40.37 per bbl for 2000. This
increase reflected a 56% increase in the WTI benchmark crude price, from US$19.30 per bbl in 1999 to US$30.20 per
bbl in 2000, tempered by the influence of hedging and foreign exchange. During 2000, demand for crude oil continued
on the strength of world economies. In addition, OPEC demonstrated it could maintain global oil prices through
disciplined production quotas.
Pengrowth markets 88% of its crude oil production on a direct sales basis predominantly on the Pembina and
Rainbow pipeline systems in Alberta. Sales are made to refiners and marketing companies. The remainder of Pengrowth’s
crude oil is sold at the well site.
In 2000, Pengrowth had 4,243 bbls per day, or 24% of its crude oil production hedged at an average price of Cdn$32.97
per bbl. As spot prices exceeded this hedged position, an opportunity cost of $18.1 million or $2.81 per bbl is reflected
in 2000 oil sales.
Pengrowth’s natural gas price increased 75% from $2.48 per mcf in 1999 to $4.34 per mcf in 2000, reflecting an improvement
in the AECO and NYMEX gas price benchmarks of 70% and 71%, respectively in 2000. The strength of the natural gas
market reflected demand from electrical generation, pipeline export capacity to the U.S. and a lack of production replacement
by the industry.
Approximately 50% of Pengrowth’s natural gas is sold to aggregators that provide a basket of fixed and floating
index-based prices, as well as exposure to various regions in the U.S. The aggregators’ prices improved in 2000 as fixed
price contracts expired and were renegotiated at higher prices. The remainder of Pengrowth’s natural gas is sold on a
direct basis with reference to AECO or NYMEX price indices.
During 2000, Pengrowth sold 5.9 bcf, or 23% of its natural gas production through fixed price physical delivery
contracts at an average plant gate price of $3.00 per mcf. As spot prices exceeded this hedged position, an
opportunity cost of $10.6 million or $0.41per mcf (relative to the monthly AECO index) is included in Pengrowth’s
gas sales for 2000.
The price of Pengrowth’s natural gas liquids increased 86% in response to higher crude oil and natural gas prices and
improved markets for products such as condensate and propane.
Oil and Gas SalesPengrowth’s oil and gas sales increased 65% to $416.2 million in 2000.

RoyaltiesIn 2000, Crown royalties, freehold royalties and mineral taxes were 19% of oil and gas sales or $77.1 million compared
to 13% of oil and gas sales in 1999 or $33.3 million. Royalties are sensitive to prices and production rates, and
consequently, they vary with the level of oil and gas sales. Pengrowth continues to benefit from Crown royalty credits
with respect to its enhanced oil recovery projects. The royalty rate is expected to increase next year if natural gas and
crude oil prices remain at current levels for the remainder of the year.
Operating ExpensesOperating expenses increased to $65.2 million in 2000 from $57.6 million in 1999. This 13% increase in cost
corresponds to a 6% increase in production volumes as Pengrowth assumed the costs of recently acquired properties.
Net operating costs per boe of production increased from $4.96 per boe to $5.30 per boe reflecting increased well
workovers and optimization activity, plant turnarounds, and higher electricity costs.
Pengrowth’s operating expenses include the administrative costs associated with its Calgary-based operations team.
The net profit from casinghead gas agreements is included in operating expense as these arrangements were intended to
defray the operating costs of the Judy Creek Gas Conservation Plant.
Operating expenses are expected to increase approximately $15-$20 million in 2001 with the full year effect of
recently acquired properties, and an expected doubling of electrical power costs in the Province of Alberta caused by
high natural gas prices and electrical deregulation.

Amortization of Injectants for Miscible FloodsInjectants (primarily ethane and methane) are used in miscible floods to stimulate incremental oil recovery. The cost of
injectants purchased from third parties is deferred and amortized against distributable income over the period of
expected future economic benefit, which is currently 30 months. In 2000, $46.8 million of injectants were purchased
from third parties (1999 - $36.8 million) and injectant costs of $32.5 million were expensed and deducted from
distributable income (1999 - $14.0 million). As at December 31, 2000, Pengrowth had injectant costs of $54.1 million
that were deferred, temporarily debt-financed and available for amortization in future periods (1999 - $39.8 million).
The value of Pengrowth’s proprietary injectants is not recorded until they are reproduced from the flood and sold,
although the cost of producing these injectants is included in operating costs. The cost of injectants in 2001 will be
dependent on commodity prices and the scheduling of flood patterns. Pengrowth delayed the start of several flood
patterns in the first quarter of 2001 to sell gas into the premium priced market that existed at the time. The amount of
injectants expensed in 2001 will increase as a result of the amortization policy, however, Pengrowth also expects
continued production from enhanced recovery projects.
InterestAs a result of higher average debt levels and higher interest rates and bank service costs, Pengrowth’s interest expense
increased 60% from $10.9 million in 1999 to $17.4 million in 2000. Distributable income covered interest expense by
12 times in 2000 (1999 - 11 times). Interest costs in 2001 will be dependent on future acquisitions and capital spending,
and the relative amount of debt and equity financing.
During 2000, Pengrowth’s interest costs were entirely based on floating rates with a term of less than one year, as it
was determined that these rates offered the most cost-effective financing strategy. Pengrowth may consider fixing a portion
of its interest rate exposure in 2001, depending on its financing requirements and the forward interest rate market.
General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses increased from $6.0 million in 1999 to $7.1 million in 2000, reflecting increased
costs required to manage the higher levels of activity and acquired properties. General and administrative costs per boe
increased 14% from $0.51 per boe in 1999 to $0.58 per boe in 2000. Aside from slight pressures on costs due to the
level of activity in the oil and gas industry, Pengrowth does not anticipate any major increases in general and
administrative costs in 2001.
Management FeesManagement fees paid with respect to net operating income were $6.9 million in 2000 compared to $4.5 million in the
previous year. On a unit-of-production basis, the fees increased 44% to $0.56 per boe in 2000 from $0.39 per boe in
1999. This increase reflects the increased operating income during 2000.
Management fees are based on a sliding scale percentage of “net operating income” (generally oil and gas sales and
other income, less royalties, operating costs, solvent amortization and reclamation funding):

In addition, the Manager earns a fee on the acquisition of oil and gas properties by Pengrowth based on the following
sliding scale:• 1.0% on the Base Amount. The “Base Amount” is defined as a minimum of $100 million, or the purchase price of
Established reserves acquired to replace reserves in the preceding calendar year. If the reserve replacement amount isgreater than $100 million in any year, then it becomes the minimum Base Amount for the next year;
• 0.5% of the purchase price of any amount above the Base Amount.
Acquisition fees paid to the Manager are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired properties. There are no fees paid
to the Manager for the disposition of properties.
TaxesTax expense of $1.8 million in 2000 (1999 - $1.2 million) consists of the Federal Large Corporations Tax and the
Saskatchewan Capital Tax and Resource Surcharge.
In determining its taxable income, Pengrowth Corporation deducts royalty payments to unitholders, and historically
this has been sufficient to reduce taxable income to zero.
During the year, Pengrowth Corporation changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the deferral
method to the liability method. This change has been applied retroactively without restating prior periods. As a result of
adopting this new standard, there was no change to the financial statements reported as at December 31, 1999.
The net book value of property, plant and equipment exceeded the cost basis for income tax purposes by
approximately $102 million and a future income tax liability of $45.5 million has been recorded in respect thereof,
principally as a result of the acquisition of oil and gas properties during the year.
Pengrowth Energy Trust’s taxable income is comprised of net royalty income and net income earned from direct
investments, less deductions for Canadian Oil and Gas Property Expense (COGPE). Any taxable income is allocated
annually to unitholders. At December 31, 2000 the trust had unused tax deductions of $10.61 per trust unit. (1999 -
$11.08 per unit).
Pengrowth Energy Trust paid $3.5550 per trust unit as cash distributions during the 2000 calendar year. For
Canadian tax purposes, 44.2% of these distributions, or $1.5719 per unit is a tax deferred return of capital, and 55.8%
or $1.9831 per unit will be taxable to unitholders as other income. The tax deferred return of capital will reduce the
unitholder’s cost base for purposes of calculating a capital gain or loss upon ultimate disposition of the trust units. The
increase in taxability is due to higher commodity prices, increased production, and record distributable income earned
by Pengrowth during the year.
Depending on the level of commodity prices, acquisitions, dispositions, and equity offerings, a portion of the 2001
cash distributions may become taxable in the hands of unitholders for Canadian tax purposes.
Depletion and Ceiling TestDepletion of the property, plant and equipment is provided on the unit-of-production method based on proven reserves,
with the conversion of gas to oil using the relative energy content (6 mcf gas = 1 bbl). The provision for depletion
increased 21% from $73.9 million in 1999 to $89.3 million in 2000 due to a larger depletable asset base and higher
production. The rate of depletion and depreciation also increased from $6.37 per boe in 1999 to $7.26 per boe in 2000.
The rate is expected to remain relatively constant in 2001, however, it can be influenced by Pengrowth’s future
acquisition and development costs.
Pengrowth places a limit on the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment and other assets (the “ceiling
test”). The cost of these assets, less accumulated depletion, is limited to the estimated future net revenue from proved
reserves (based on unescalated prices and costs at the balance sheet date) less estimated future general and administrative
costs, financing costs, and management fees. There was a substantial surplus in the ceiling test at year-end 2000.

Future Site RestorationAn engineering estimate of the future costs for restoration and abandonment of well sites and facilities is updated
annually. The present value of this cost estimate is amortized over the life of the properties on a unit-of-production basis.
The provision for future site restoration increased from $7.0 million in 1999 to $7.6 million in 2000 as a result of higher
production. The 2001 provision is expected to increase marginally as a result of higher production.
Remediation Expenses and Trust Fund ContributionsPengrowth has established a trust fund for certain remediation obligations of the Judy Creek and Swan Hills properties.
Pengrowth made contributions of $2.5 million to this fund in 2000. Pengrowth also incurred $0.1 million in reclamation
expenditures that were not covered by the trust fund in 2000. In comparison, remediation expenses and trust fund
contributions in 1999 totalled $3.0 million. Pengrowth expects to pay approximately $0.75 million into the remediation
trust fund based on contribution requirements in 2001.
NetbacksNetbacks per Boe of Production (6:1)Year ended December 31 2000 1999
Oil and gas sales $ 33.87 $ 21.73 Crown and freehold royalties (6.28) (2.87)Other income and ARC 1.03 0.54 Operating costs (5.30) (4.96)Amortization of injectants (2.64) (1.20)

As illustrated in the chart above, Pengrowth earned distributable income of $17.77 for every barrel of oil equivalent
produced in 2000. This represents a 61% increase over 1999 netbacks.
Acquisitions and DispositionsOn October 3, 2000 Pengrowth closed the acquisition of producing properties in the Nipisi Non-Unit area of Alberta
for consideration of $51.6 million. This acquisition consisted of an average 95% working interest in 32 producing oil
wells and 8,800 gross acres, including a 100% working interest in an oil battery and gas plant. Through this transaction,
Pengrowth acquired Established reserves of 5.5 mmboe and estimated daily production of 1,550 boe per day.
On December 2, 2000 Pengrowth announced the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties from an
independent Canadian exploration and production company for cash consideration of $128 million and Pengrowth’s
interest in certain properties (the “sale properties”). The purchased properties (net of the sale properties) will add 16.0
mmboe of Established reserves and an estimated 3,488 boe per day of production in 2001. These properties included
unitized interests in Goose River, House Mountain, Minnehik-Buck Lake, Mitsue Gilwood Sand Unit #1 and Weyburn.
As of the date the year-end financial statements were finalized, the acquisition of the House Mountain Units and the
disposition of the sale properties (of comparable value) had not closed, and certain other ROFRs remained outstanding.
As a result, Pengrowth recorded approximately 80% of the net production and reserves associated with this acquisition
in the month of December 2000.
In total, Pengrowth acquired 21.5 mmboe of Established reserves in 2000, with an average reserve life index of 12.4
years at a price of $8.34 per boe to replace over 175% of the current year’s production.

Capital ExpendituresPengrowth spent $59.8 million in capital expenditures in 2000, compared with $17.7 million expended during 1999 (net
of acquisitions and dispositions): $45.4 million was spent on development drilling, completions and tie-ins, and $14.4
million was spent on facilities.
At Judy Creek, development drilling included eight successful oil wells and four miscible injection wells. In addition,
facilities expenditures included upgrading three compressors, improving the water injection system, and extension of the
Judy Creek gas gathering pipeline system.
At McLeod River, eight new wells were drilled resulting in two producing gas wells, two producing oil wells, two
suspended wells and two abandoned wells. Pengrowth’s working interests on these wells range from 25% to 100%.
In addition, two previously suspended gas wells were tied-in and producing by the end of 2000, and a field
compressor was installed.
At Weyburn, PanCanadian Petroleum Limited as operator has been drilling infill and injection wells and building
facilities to support a CO2 miscible flood program that commenced in October 2000.
At Enchant, development drilling included three successful oil wells and several workovers. In addition, one well was
converted to water injection to enhance deliverability of the field.
At Swan Hills, capital expenditures included the drilling of one edge well, five well recompletions, the tie-in of two
horizontal injectors to the produced water injection system, and minor facility modifications.
Pengrowth expects to spend approximately $60 million on development and exploitation of existing properties in 2001.
Pengrowth’s financing policy with respect to capital spending is outlined in the section on Financial Resources and Liquidity.

Net Asset ValueIn the following table, Pengrowth’s net asset value is measured with reference to the present value of future net cash flows
from reserves, as estimated by independent reserve engineers, Gilbert Laustsen Jung Associates Ltd. (GLJ), less any
working capital deficiency and long-term debt at year-end.
*Based on GLJ’s report effective December 31, 2000 for Established reserves (proven plus half probable) including the effects of Pengrowth’s
current hedging program.
This calculation of net asset value assumes that existing reserves are produced to the end of their economic life and
are not replaced by acquisitions. Pengrowth has a 12-year history of reserve replacement through successful acquisitions.
The measurement is also sensitive to the price forecasts and the reservoir engineering assumptions used by GLJ.
Financial Resources and LiquidityPengrowth’s long-term debt increased by $56.5 million in fiscal 2000 to $286.8 million at December 31, 2000, largely
as a result of increased acquisitions and capital spending.
Pengrowth currently has $350 million in committed revolving credit facilities and $35 million in demand bank lines
available. Pengrowth intends to pursue an increase in the size of the credit facility in the first quarter of 2001 based on
the additional value of properties acquired in the second half of 2000 and higher commodity prices. Pengrowth also has
an additional credit facility available to fund the acquisition of the SOEP Royalty in the event that additional credit
capacity is required to close the transaction.

Pengrowth’s current policy is to pay out all its cash flow in distributions to unitholders. Capital spending and
acquisitions are generally debt financed and credit capacity is replenished by issuing equity when appropriate.
It is management’s intention to maintain a conservative capital structure, and although it has not been required in
the past, management has the ability to retain a portion of the cash flow to repay debt and/or contribute towards capital
spending in the future.
Price Risk Management ProgramPengrowth has a price risk management program whereby it may fix the price on a portion of its future production to
lock in the value of acquisitions and enhance its capital development program.
Pengrowth currently has a financial swap transaction in place that fixes the price on 1,000 barrels of oil per day for
the year 2001 at an average price of Cdn$32.02 per barrel. With approximately 5% of its crude oil production hedged
for a one-year term, Pengrowth is currently expecting continued strength in crude oil markets. Pengrowth’s hedged
position may change in 2001 depending on the forward price of crude oil, acquisitions, and other market developments
and expectations.
Pengrowth has sales commitments to deliver natural gas at fixed prices in the future, as summarized below:
• 4.8 bcf (13.2 mmcf per day) for 2001 at an average plantgate price of Cdn$2.97 per mcf; and
• 2.8 bcf (7.8 mmcf per day) for 2002 at an average plantgate price of Cdn$2.98 per mcf.
With approximately 18% of its natural gas production sold at a fixed price in 2001 and 11% fixed for 2002, the
majority of Pengrowth’s gas is exposed to the current premium spot market for natural gas. Again, Pengrowth’s hedged
position may change in the future, depending on the forward market for the price of natural gas, acquisitions, and other
market developments and expectations.
Sensitivity AnalysisThe following table estimates the impact that changes to commodity prices, production levels and exchange rates may have
on unitholder distributions. This analysis is based on GLJ forecast prices, production levels, and exchange rates for 2001.
Trust Unit InformationPengrowth had 63,852,198 trust units outstanding at December 31, 2000 compared to 53,639,338 trust units at
December 31, 1999. The weighted number of trust units outstanding during 2000 was 55,672,865.
In November 2000, Pengrowth issued 8,165,000 trust units at $19.00 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately
$155 million through a public offering.
During 2000, Pengrowth also issued 1,915,833 trust units pursuant to the exercise of trust unit options for proceeds
of $29.3 million. In addition, 132,027 trust units were issued pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Program for
proceeds of $2.4 million.

Business RisksThe amount of distributable income available to unitholders and the value of Pengrowth trust units are subject to
numerous risk factors. As the trust units allow investors to participate in the net cash flow from Pengrowth’s portfolio
of producing oil and natural gas properties, the principal risk factors that are associated with the oil and gas business
include, but are not limited to, the following influences:
• The prices of Pengrowth’s products (crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs) fluctuate due to local and global market
supply and demand, weather patterns, pipeline transportation, political stability.
• Canadian/U.S. exchange rates influence revenues and, to a lesser extent, operating and capital costs.
• Geological and operational risks affect the quantity and quality of reserves and the costs of recovering those reserves.
• Increased activity within the oil and gas sector can increase the cost of goods and services and make it more difficult
to hire and retain professional staff.
• Approximately 42% of Pengrowth’s production is dependent on third party operators and harm to their business
could impact Pengrowth’s results.
• The Alberta government’s deregulation of the electrical power industry and the rising cost of natural gas as a fuel
source for electrical generation have increased electrical costs in the short-term.
• Government royalties, income tax laws, environmental laws and regulatory initiatives impact Pengrowth financially
and operationally.
• Changing interest rates influence borrowing costs and the availability of capital.
• Environmental and safety risks influence the workforce, operating costs and compliance with regulatory standards.
• The ability to replace production depends on Pengrowth’s success in developing existing reserves, acquiring new
reserves, and financing this development and acquisition activity within the context of the capital markets.
Pengrowth seeks to mitigate some of these risks by:
• Fixing the price on a portion of its future crude oil and natural gas production.
• Fixing the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate through financial hedging contracts or by fixing commodity prices in
Canadian dollars.
• Offering competitive incentive-based compensation packages to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated
professional staff.
• Ensuring strong third party operators for partner-operated properties.
• Managing electrical power purchases through the use of physical contracts or financial instruments.
• Adhering to strict investment criteria for acquisitions.
• Acquiring mature production with long life reserves and proven production.
• Performing extensive geological, geophysical, engineering and environmental analysis before committing to capital
development projects.

Business ProspectsOne of the most influential factors affecting the fortunes of Pengrowth’s investors remains the price of crude oil and
natural gas which continue to be extremely difficult to predict. It is our view that world demand for crude oil will
continue to grow, and the main downside risk to this growth pattern is the threat of a sustained recession in the world
economy. On the supply side, it is becoming more evident that there are only a few OPEC countries with the ability to
increase production, and those countries are becoming more disciplined in managing their production quotas and
maintaining oil prices within a publicly stated price band of U.S. $24-$30 per bbl WTI equivalent. Non-OPEC producers
have experienced years of capital constraints, production declines and a lack of exploration success, and it will take some
time before higher prices attract the capital required to reverse this trend.
We also expect North American natural gas prices to remain strong in 2001. U.S. demand for natural gas continues
to increase in response to a decade of economic expansion and the use of gas for electrical generation. In the meantime,
U.S. gas producers are suffering from capital constraints, reservoir declines, and a lack of exploration success. The
Canadian export capacity problem has been solved with the new Alliance pipeline and expansions at Northern Border
and TransCanada Pipelines. However, the markets are discovering that there is no surplus gas north of the border, and
Canadian producers are battling the same production declines and lack of exploration success as their southern
neighbors. Aside from weather-related factors, the main threat to the North American gas market is the risk of an
economic recession and associated slump in demand, and in the long term, the risk that high gas prices will spark fuel
switching to alternate energy sources such as crude oil, coal, and nuclear energy.
As with most yield-based investments, interest rates have historically had an impact on Pengrowth’s trust unit value.
If North American interest rates continue to decline in response to slowing economies, it could have a positive impact
on the value of Pengrowth’s trust units. In addition, if energy prices maintain their current levels for a sustained period
of time, it is possible that the risk premium placed on energy-based investments such as Pengrowth may gradually
diminish, with potentially positive implications for Pengrowth’s trust unit values.
Pengrowth continues to pursue opportunities to acquire quality oil and gas properties in order to replenish reserves
and increase value to unitholders. We believe there will be further opportunities to acquire mature, long-life properties
as the industry continues to consolidate and rationalize. These opportunities are evidenced by the February 6, 2001
announcement that Pengrowth is acquiring a convertible royalty with respect to the natural gas and NGL reserves
associated with the Province of Nova Scotia’s 8.4% interest in the Sable Offshore Energy Project for $265 million. This
transaction, which is subject to rights of first refusal, offers many attractions to Pengrowth unitholders. It is expected to
be accretive to cash flow, production and reserves per trust unit. It increases Pengrowth’s production weighting to natural
gas. The SOEP Royalty offers relatively constant production for an estimated 10 years, with a reasonable capital
expenditure profile, an Established reserve life index of 20.1 years, and the advantage of natural gas delivered into the
premium-priced Northeastern U.S markets.
The current environment of strong prices also brings increasing costs for production and acquisitions, and it is more
important than ever to maintain discipline towards the business. Pengrowth’s staff has incentives to control costs and
maximize production and Pengrowth will remain disciplined in its capital spending, acquisitions, and efforts to enhance
shareholder value.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Pengrowth Energy Trust as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
consolidated statements of income and distributable income, unitholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Trust as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
would have affected results of operations for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2000 and
unitholders’ equity as at December 31, 2000 and 1999, to the extent summarized in note 13 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of dollars except per unit amounts.)
1. STRUCTURE OF THE TRUSTPengrowth Energy Trust (“EnergyTrust”) is a closed-end investment trust created under the laws of the Province of
Alberta pursuant to a Trust Indenture dated December 2, 1988 (as amended) between Pengrowth Corporation
(“Corporation”) and ComputerShare Investor Services Inc. (formerly Montreal Trust Company of Canada). Operations
commenced on December 30, 1988. The beneficiaries of EnergyTrust are the holders of trust units (the “unitholders”).
EnergyTrust acquires and holds royalty units issued by the Corporation, which entitles EnergyTrust to the net
revenue generated by Corporation’s petroleum and natural gas properties less certain defined charges. In addition,
unitholders are entitled to receive the net cash flows from other investments that are held directly by EnergyTrust.
As at December 31, 2000 EnergyTrust owned 99.9 percent of the royalty units issued by the Corporation.
Pengrowth Management Limited (the “Manager”) is responsible for the management of the business affairs of the
Corporation and the administration of EnergyTrust. The shares of the Corporation are wholly owned by the
Manager, and the Manager is controlled by a director of the Corporation.
Under the terms of the Royalty Indenture, the Corporation is entitled to retain a 1 percent share of royalty income
and all miscellaneous income (the “Residual Interest”) to the extent this amount exceeds the aggregate of debt
service charges, general and administrative expenses, and management fees. In 2000 and 1999, the Corporation was
not eligible to retain this Residual Interest.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of PresentationEnergyTrust’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in Canada and they include the accounts of EnergyTrust and the accounts of Corporation
(collectively referred to as “Pengrowth”). All inter-entity transactions have been eliminated. These financial
statements do not contain the accounts of the Manager.
Although there is no legal ownership between EnergyTrust and Corporation, EnergyTrust, through the royalty,
obtains substantially all the economic benefits of Corporation. In addition, the unitholders of EnergyTrust have the
right to elect the majority of the board of directors of Corporation.
Property Plant and EquipmentPengrowth follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and facilities whereby all costs of
acquiring such interests are capitalized and depleted on the unit of production method based on proved reserves
before royalties as estimated by independent engineers. Natural gas production and reserves are converted to
equivalent units of crude oil using their relative energy content.
General and administrative costs are not capitalized other than to the extent they are directly related to a successful
acquisition, or to the extent of Pengrowth’s working interest in capital expenditure programs to which overhead fees
can be recovered from partners. Overhead fees are not charged on 100 percent owned projects.
Proceeds from disposals of oil and gas properties and equipment are credited against capitalized costs unless the
disposal would alter the rate of depletion and depreciation by more than 20 percent, in which case a gain or loss on
disposal is recorded.
Pengrowth places a limit on the aggregate carrying value of property, plant and equipment and deferred injectant
costs that may be carried forward for depletion against revenues of future periods (the “ceiling test”). The cost of
these assets less accumulated depletion and depreciation is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net
revenue from production of proved reserves (based on unescalated prices and costs at the balance sheet date) less
estimated future general and administrative costs, financing costs and management fees.

Injectant CostsInjectants (mostly ethane and methane) are used in miscible flood programs to stimulate incremental oil recovery.
The cost of injectants purchased from third parties for miscible flood projects is deferred and amortized over the
period of expected future economic benefit which is estimated as 30 months.
InventoryInventories of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Future Site Restoration CostsProvisions for future site restoration costs are made over the life of the oil and gas properties and facilities using the
unit of production method. Costs are based on engineering estimates considering current regulations, costs and industry
standards. Pengrowth has placed cash in a segregated remediation trust account to fund certain site restoration costs
for the Judy Creek and Swan Hills properties. Contributions to the remediation trust account and remediation
expenditures not funded by the trust account are charged against distributable income in the period incurred.
Income TaxesEnergyTrust is a taxable trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada). No provision has been made for income taxes
by EnergyTrust in these financial statements, as income taxes are the responsibility of the individual unitholders and
EnergyTrust distributes all of its income to its unitholders. In 2000, EnergyTrust allocated $110.4 million in taxable
income or $1.983 per unit to unitholders (1999 - $34.8 million, or $0.674 per unit).
The Corporation follows the tax liability method of accounting for income taxes. The method was adopted in 2000
without restatement of prior years. Under this method, income tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated
tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the Corporation’s financial statements
and their respective tax bases, using enacted income tax rates. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future
income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. In determining its taxable
income, the Corporation deducts royalty payments to the unitholders. In 2000, net income of the Corporation, after
deducting royalty payments to royalty unitholders, was nil. If the Corporation ever lacked sufficient deductions to
reduce taxable income to nil, the taxes would be deducted from royalty payments to unitholders.
Trust unit compensation plansPengrowth has a number of trust unit compensation plans, the accounting policies for which are described in Note 6.
Forward and Futures ContractsPengrowth uses forward and futures contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations. The net
receipts or payments arising from these contracts are recognized in income as a component of oil and gas sales
during the same period as the corresponding hedged position.
Measurement UncertaintyThe amounts recorded for depletion, depreciation and amortization of injectants and the provision for abandonment
costs are based on estimates. The ceiling test calculation is based on estimates of proved reserves, production rates,
oil and natural gas prices, future costs and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, these estimates are subject
to measurement uncertainty and may impact the consolidated financial statements of future periods.
Earnings per unitThe Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has approved a new standard for the computation, presentation and
disclosure of earnings per unit. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, Pengrowth retroactively adopted the new standard.
The impact of adopting the new standard on the periods presented is not significant. Under the new standard, the
treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under
the treasury stock method, only “in the money” dilutive instruments impact the diluted calculations.
Comparative figuresCertain comparative figures have been restated to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.

3. REMEDIATION TRUST FUNDPursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 15, 1997 between Pengrowth and Imperial Oil Resources
(“Imperial”), a trust was established to fund certain remediation obligations of the Judy Creek and Swan Hills properties.
ComputerShare Investor Services Inc. is the trustee for the Remediation Trust Fund. With respect to the current and
future years, Pengrowth agreed to make a contribution of $1,750,000 on October 15, 2000 and a contribution of
$250,000 per annum for each year subsequent to 2000 to the Remediation Trust Fund. In addition, Pengrowth makes
a monthly trust fund contribution equivalent to $0.10 per boe of production from the Judy Creek properties.
Every five years Pengrowth must deliver a report to Imperial evaluating the assets in the trust fund and the outstanding
remediation obligations, and make recommendations as to whether contribution levels should be changed. If Imperial
does not consent to recommended changes in the contribution level, the matter may be arbitrated.
The following summarizes Pengrowth’s Remediation Trust Fund contributions for 2000 and 1999 and Pengrowth’s
expenditures on remediation activities not covered by the trust fund:
As at December 31, 2000, Pengrowth had a surplus in its ceiling test using year end prices.
Total estimated future site restoration costs are approximately $114 million of which $25.3 million has been accrued
to date.
The Corporation has a $350 million revolving credit facility syndicated among seven financial institutions with an
extendible 364 day revolving period and a five year amortization term period. In addition, it has a $35 million
demand operating line of credit that is currently reduced by outstanding letters of credit in the amount of
approximately $12 million. The facilities are secured by a $500 million first fixed and floating charge debenture on
all of the Corporation’s assets. In addition, EnergyTrust has issued a guarantee and a $200 million debenture granting
a first fixed security interest in the Judy Creek and Swan Hills facilities to the financial institutions in the credit facility.
Interest payable is at the bankers’ acceptance rates plus stamping fees, lenders’ prime lending rates, or U.S. libor rates
plus applicable margins, depending on the form of borrowing by the Corporation. The margins and stamping fees
vary depending on financial statement ratios and can range from 0.50 percent to 1.00 percent. Interest expense for
the year ended December 31, 2000 includes $15,620,843 in cash interest payments (1999- $7,009,058).

The credit facility will revolve until June 24, 2001, whereupon it is expected to be renewed for a further 364 days,
subject to satisfactory review by the lenders. If the lenders were to convert the facility to a non-revolving term
facility, then amounts outstanding under the facility become repayable in 20 equal quarterly instalments. As at
December 31, 2000, the obligation outstanding under the revolving credit facility is classified as long-term debt as
the lenders have advised management that subject to the Corporation complying with the terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement, no principal repayments are required in 2001.
6. TRUST UNITSThe authorized capital of Pengrowth is 500,000,000 trust units.
Pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Indenture and the Trust Indenture, there is attached to each royalty unit granted
by the Corporation the right to exchange such royalty unit for an equivalent number of trust units. Computershare,
as Trustee has reserved 18,940 trust units for such future conversion.
Distribution Reinvestment PlanThe Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) entitles unitholders to reinvest cash distributions in additional units
of EnergyTrust. The trust units under the plan may be acquired in the open market at prevailing market prices or
issued from treasury at the weighted average price of all EnergyTrust units traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange
for the 20 trading days preceding a distribution payment date.
Trust Unit Option PlanPengrowth has a trust unit option plan under which employees and directors of the Corporation and the Manager
are eligible to receive options. As options are issued at the market price on date of grant, no compensation expense
is recognized when new options are issued. Under the terms of the plan, up to 10% of the issued and outstanding
trust units to a maximum of 7 million units may be reserved for these option grants. One third of the options vest
on the grant date, one third on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining third on the second
anniversary. The options expire five years from the date of grant. The exercise price of each option equals the market
price of EnergyTrust’s units on the date of the grant. As at December 31, 2000, options to purchase 2,893,554 trust
units were outstanding (1999 - 4,041,287) that expire at various dates to November 24, 2005.

The following table summarizes information about trust unit options outstanding at December 31, 2000:
Share Appreciation RightsOn May 12, 1999, 426,000 trust unit options granted to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pengrowth
were cancelled and replaced with an equal number of Share Appreciation Rights (“SAR’s”) which have the same
exercise price, vesting provisions, and expiry dates as the predecessor options. As at December 31, 2000, the
426,000 SAR’s were still outstanding. They are fully vested, have a weighted average exercise price of $18.39 and
expiry dates ranging from October 15 to December 1, 2002.
The SAR’s grant the right to receive a Payment Amount equal to any increase in the market price of the 426,000
trust units above the exercise price. Pengrowth may, at its option, satisfy this Payment Amount with either a cash
payment or the issue of trust units from treasury based on market prices at the time of exercise. No compensation
expense is recognized for the SAR’s until a cash payment is made.
Trust Unit Savings PlanPengrowth has a trust unit savings plan whereby qualifying employees may contribute from 1 to 10 percent of their basic
annual salary. Employee contributions are invested in EnergyTrust units purchased on the open market. Pengrowth
matches the employees’ contribution, investing in additional trust units purchased on the open market. Pengrowth’s
share of contributions is recorded as compensation expense and amounted to $532,014 in 2000 (1999 - $466,776).
Trust Unit Margin Purchase PlanPengrowth has a plan whereby the Manager, and employees, directors, and certain consultants of Corporation can
purchase trust units and finance up to 75% of the purchase price through an investment dealer, subject to certain
participation limits and restrictions. Participants maintain personal margin accounts 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 to guarantee amounts owing with respect to the plan.
The amount of the letter of credit may fluctuate depending on the amounts financed pursuant to the plan. At
December 31, 2000, 1,925,518 trust units were deposited under the plan (1999 - 1,508,985) with a market value
of $37.0 million (1999 - $23.4 million) and a corresponding margin loan of $11.6 million (1999 - $10.7 million).

8. INCOME TAXESDuring the year, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the deferral method to the
liability method as described in note 2, and has applied this change retroactively without restating prior periods. As a
result of adopting this new standard, there was no change to the financial statements reported as at December 31, 1999.
The net book value of property, plant and equipment exceeded the cost basis for income tax purposes by
$102,040,000 and a future income tax liability of $45,510,000 has been recorded in respect thereof, principally as
a result of the acquisition of oil and gas properties during the year.
In 2000, the Corporation made cash payments of $1,827,000 in respect of capital taxes (1999 - $2,104,000).
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSPengrowth Management Limited provides certain services pursuant to a management agreement for which
Pengrowth paid $1,238,000 (1999 - $2,224,365) for acquisition fees and $6,872,570 (1999 - $4,489,706) for a
management fee. The law firm controlled by the corporate secretary received $284,456 (1999-$326,746) for legal
services provided to Pengrowth.
The Corporation has provided a $5 million letter of credit to an investment dealer to guarantee amounts owing to
the investment dealer. See note 6 - Trust Unit Margin Purchase Plan.
10. AMOUNTS PER UNITThe per unit amounts for net income and distributable income are based on weighted average units outstanding for
the year. The weighted average units outstanding for 2000 were 55,672,865 units (1999 - 51,233,796 units). In
computing fully diluted net income per unit, 354,331 units were added to the weighted average number of units
outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2000 (1999 - nil) for the dilutive effect of employee stock options.
The per unit amount of distributions paid or declared reflect actual distributions paid or declared based on units
outstanding at the time.
Distributions are declared payable during the month following the month in which the distributions were earned.
Distributions are paid to unitholders on the 15th day of the second month after the distributions are earned. As at
December 31, 2000 there was a balance of $700,188 or $0.0110 per unit that had been earned but had not yet been
paid or declared (1999 - $139,090 or $0.0026 per unit).
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSInterest Rate RiskAs at December 31, 2000 Pengrowth was exposed to floating interest rates with respect to its long-term debt and it
had no fixed interest rate borrowings extending beyond one year.
Foreign Currency Exchange RiskPengrowth is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as crude oil and natural gas prices received are referenced to
U.S. dollar denominated prices. Pengrowth has mitigated some of this exchange risk by entering into fixed Canadian
dollar crude oil price swaps as outlined below.
Credit RiskA portion of Pengrowth’s accounts receivable are with joint venture partners in the oil and gas industry and are
subject to normal industry credit risks. Purchasers of Pengrowth’s petroleum and natural gas products are subject
to an internal credit review designed to mitigate the risk of non-payment. The use of commodity price swap
agreements involves a degree of credit risk that Pengrowth manages through its credit policies which are designed
to limit eligible counterparties to those with “A” credit ratings or better.
Forward and Futures ContractsPengrowth 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
however, gains or losses on the contracts are offset by changes in the value of Pengrowth’s production.

As at December 31, 2000, Pengrowth had fixed the price applicable to future production as follows:
The estimated fair value of the crude oil financial swap contracts and the natural gas fixed price sales contracts have
been determined based on the amounts Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at year-end. At
December 31, 2000 the amount Pengrowth would pay to terminate the crude oil and natural gas contracts would
be $2,127,700 and $39,366,300, respectively.
Fair value of financial instrumentsThe carrying value of financial instruments included in the balance sheet, other than bank debt and marketable
securities, approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The fair value of the Remediation Trust Fund
was $5,544,077 (1999 - $3,789,797). The fair value of the marketable securities at December 31, 1999 was
$4,205,000. The carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value as it bears interest at floating rates.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTSOn February 2, 2001 Pengrowth announced it had entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 43.5%
working interest in the Kaybob Notikewin Unit for $25.2 million. The acquisition of this natural gas producing
property is expected to close in the first quarter of 2001.
On February 6, 2001 Pengrowth reached an agreement, along with two other companies, for the acquisition of
Nova Scotia Resources Limited (“NSRL”) from the Government of the Province of Nova Scotia. The transaction,
which is subject to rights of first refusal, is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2001. The purchase price to
Pengrowth is $265 million, representing approximately 63% of the total purchase price for NSRL of $420 million.
The acquisition is structured to provide Pengrowth with the natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves from NSRL’s
8.4% interest in the Sable Offshore Energy Project (“SOEP”). Pengrowth has arranged a credit facility to fund this
acquisition in the event that additional credit capacity is required to close the transaction.
13. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTEDACCOUNTING PRINCIPLESThe significant differences between Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) which,
in most respects, conforms to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), as they
apply to Pengrowth, are as follows:
(a) Under U.S. GAAP, the carrying value of petroleum and natural gas properties and related facilities, net of future or
deferred income taxes, is limited to the present value of after tax future net revenue from proven reserves, discounted
at 10 percent (based on prices and costs at the balance sheet date), plus the lower of cost and fair value of unproven
properties. Under Canadian GAAP, this “ceiling test” is calculated without application of a discount factor. At
December 31, 1998 and 1997 the application of the full cost ceiling test under U.S. GAAP resulted in a write-down
of capitalized costs of $328.6 million and $49.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the
application of the full cost ceiling test under U.S. GAAP did not result in a write-down of capitalized costs.
Where the amount of a ceiling test writedown under Canadian GAAP differs from the amount of the write-down
under U.S. GAAP, the charge for depletion, depreciation, and amortization will differ in subsequent years.
(b) Under U.S. GAAP, the provision for abandonment costs is recorded as a reduction of capital assets.
(c) Under U.S. GAAP, interest and other income would not be included as a component of Net Revenue.

Under the provisions of SFAS 123 the pro forma disclosures above include only the effects of stock options granted
by Pengrowth subsequent to December 31, 1996. During this initial phase-in period, the pro-forma disclosures as
required by SFAS 123 are not representative of the effects on reported income for future years as options vest over
several years and additional awards are generally made each year.
The weighted average fair market value of options granted in 2000 and 1999 was $0.26 and $0.40 per option
respectively. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Modified Black-
Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for 2000 and 1999 respectively: risk-free interest rate
of 5 percent for both years, dividend yield of 19.0 and 12.7 percent, volatility of 16 and 22 percent, normalized
dilution of 7 percent and liquidity discount of 10 percent for both years, and expected life of five years in both years.
APB 25 also requires recognition of compensation cost with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights granted to
employees. Application of provisions of APB 25 result in a compensation cost of $510,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 for U.S. GAAP purposes. No compensation cost resulted from application of the above
provisions for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(e) Marketable securities held by Pengrowth are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with definitions of SFAS
115. Under provisions of this Statement, available-for-sale securities are reported at the fair value, with unrealized
holding gains and losses included in comprehensive income and reported as a separate component of unitholders’
equity until realized.
(f) SFAS 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net earnings. Comprehensive income
includes net income plus other comprehensive income; specifically, all changes in equity of a company during a
period arising from non-owner sources.
(d) SFAS 123, “ Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”, establishes financial accounting and reporting standards
for stock-based employee compensation plans as well as transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments
to acquire goods or services from non-employees. As permitted by the SFAS 123, Pengrowth has elected to continue
to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, as provided for in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB 25”). Since all options were granted with an exercise price equal
to the market price at the date of the grant, no compensation cost has been charged to income. Had compensation
cost for Pengrowth’s stock options been determined based on the fair market value at the grant dates of the awards
consistent with methodology prescribed by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, Pengrowth’s
net income and net income per unit for years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 would have been the pro forma
amounts indicated below:
Years ended December 31, 2000 1999
Net Income:As Reported $ 150,654 $ 78,741Pro forma 150,498 78,275

(g) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging
Activities” (SFAS 133), was issued in June 1998 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. SFAS 133 establishes
new accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This statement
requires an entity to establish, at the inception of a hedge, the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of
the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those
methods must be consistent with the entity’s approach to managing risk. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Pengrowth will implement the standards set out in SFAS 133 for the fiscal year
commencing January 1, 2001. If it were adopted at December 31, 2000, an amount of $2.1 million would be
recorded as a liability in respect of the fair value of a crude oil hedge outstanding at year end with a corresponding
reduction in other comprehensive income. This amount would be amortized against crude oil sales over the
remaining term of the hedge.
