REPORT TO UNITHOLDERS

Distributable Income Increases 25% for the Nine months ended September 30, 2001

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, Pengrowth recorded $183.8 million in distributableincome, a 25% increase compared to $146.7 million in the first nine months of 2000. The additional trustunits issued in the May 2001 equity offering have offset this increase when measured on a per trust unitbasis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, distributable income per trust unit was $2.60compared to $2.675 per trust unit in the first nine months of last year.

Pengrowth’s year-to-date distributions history is summarized below:

*To benefit from the monthly cash distribution, unitholders must purchase or hold trust units prior to theex-distribution date

In the third quarter of 2001, distributable income decreased 9% to $48.3, compared to $53.2 million in2000. On a per trust unit basis, distributable income decreased 34% to $0.63 per trust unit in the thirdquarter of 2001 compared to $0.96 per trust unit for the same period in 2000. The decline in distributableincome for the quarter can be attributed to weaker natural gas and crude oil prices.

At September 30, 2001, Pengrowth had $0.02 per trust unit in distributable income that had been earnedbut not yet paid or declared payable to unitholders. This surplus will be paid in the fourth quarter.

Pengrowth’s Average Price Per BOE Decreases 17% in the Third Quarter

Pengrowth’s average price per BOE of production decreased 17% from $35.30/boe in the third quarter of2000 to $29.23/boe in the third quarter of 2001. During this time period, Pengrowth’s average natural gasprice decreased 32% and its crude oil price decreased 5%.

The price that Pengrowth received for natural gas liquids (“NGL’s”) in the third quarter of 2001 was 22%lower than the comparable price in the third quarter of 2000. The lower NGL price reflects lower pricingfor ethane (which tracks the price of natural gas rather than oil) and lower pricing for condensate, propaneand butane. Pengrowth’s average NGL price averaged 85% of its crude oil price for the nine months endedSeptember 30th, 2001 compared to 82% in 2000.

The average prices in the table above include the following opportunity costs from commodity hedges:

• losses related to fixed price natural gas contracts (compared to monthly AECO average spot prices) of$15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, of which $1 million related to the thirdquarter of 2001; and,

• losses related to crude oil price swap transactions of $3.1 million for the nine months endingSeptember 30, 2001, of which $0.7 million related to the third quarter of 2001.

Commodity Price Outlook

The record North American natural gas prices experienced in the first half of 2001 proved unsustainable inthe wake of conservation measures by industrial and retail consumers, fuel switching to coal, oil andnuclear power, and a slowing economy.

AECO gas index prices decreased 25% in the third quarter from $5.26/mcf in 2000 to $3.93/mcf in 2001.NYMEX Henry Hub gas prices decreased 33% in the third quarter from US$4.27/mmbtu in 2000 toUS$2.88/mmbtu in 2001.

In the near term, natural gas prices may continue to experience pressure due to high gas storage levels inNorth America and weak demand from a slowing economy. A recovery of natural gas prices will depend onwinter weather conditions, fuel switching back to natural gas, and economic recovery. The currentreduction in natural gas drilling activity and the inability of producers to replace production declines onexisting properties may limit supply and strengthen prices over the mid to long term.

Crude oil prices have been relatively stable for most of the year. Recently, crude prices have shownweakness in response to the tragic events of September 11th, slowing world energy demand, anduncertainty over OPEC’s ability to maintain price discipline. WTI crude oil prices decreased 16% in thethird quarter from US$31.58/bbl in 2000 to US$26.49/bbl in 2001 (a decrease of 13% in Canadian dollarterms from C$46.81/bbl to C$40.95/bbl after adjusting for exchange rate variations). In comparison, forthe nine months ended September 30th, WTI decreased 6% from US$29.60/bbl (C$43.59/bbl) in 2000 toUS$27.72/bbl (C$42.63/bbl) in 2001.

Pengrowth’s production portfolio in the third quarter was weighted 45% towards crude oil while natural gasaccounted for 41% of total production. Natural gas liquids represented the remaining 14% of production.

Oil production volumes have increased as a result of the acquisition of oil producing properties at GooseRiver, House Mountain, Weyburn and Nipisi in the fourth quarter of 2000. Judy Creek oil productionvolumes were down slightly in July and August as a result of an electrical outage. By September, JudyCreek crude oil production had increased to 10,474 bpd. Judy Creek production is demonstrating positiveresponse to the recent development drilling and miscible flooding that was initiated earlier this year.

Pengrowth Average Production

Third quarter natural gas production volumes have increased 55% when compared to the third quarter of2001. This increase can be attributed to the acquisition of interests in Minnihik Buck Lake in December2000, Kaybob Notikewan in March 2001, and the Sable Offshore Energy Project (“SOEP”) in June 2001.SOEP production volumes have been strong in the third quarter. Pengrowth has recorded natural gas salesof 42,774 mcf/d and NGL sales of 1,450 boepd with respect to SOEP since the acquisition on June 15, 2001.

Price Risk Management Program

Looking forward, Pengrowth has entered into financial swap transactions that fix the price on:• 4,000 barrels of oil per day for the remainder of 2001 (20% of estimated production) at an average

price of C$39.32/bbl.• 1,000 barrels of oil per day for the first six months of 2002 (5% of estimated production) at an

average price of C$42.20/bbl.

Pengrowth also has sales commitments to deliver natural gas at fixed prices in the future, as follows:• 1.0 bcf (10.5 mmcf/d or 10% of estimated production) for the remainder of 2001 at an average

plantgate price of $2.98/mcf; and• 2.8 bcf (7.7 mmcf/d or 7% of estimated production) for 2002 at an average plantgate price of

$2.98/mcf.

At September 30, 2001 the mark-to-market value of these hedge positions was a positive $0.6 million(positive $1.9 million for crude oil offset by a negative $1.3 million for natural gas).

Net Income Increases 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased 14% to $89.3 million compared to$78.1 million for the similar period last year.

Net income for the third quarter of 2001 decreased 57% to $13.5 million compared to $31.1 million forthe third quarter of 2000.

Operating Costs

For the nine months ended September 30th, 2001, operating costs were $76.3 million ($7.16 / boe),compared to $46.3 million ($5.10/boe) for the first nine months of 2000.

The increase in operating costs is attributable to property acquisitions in late 2000 and the first half of2001 and increased electricity rates. Alberta experienced very high electricity rates in the first half of2001; however, recent rates have declined significantly in response to lower natural gas prices. The SOEPacquisition in June 2001, with its related operating costs and processing fees has increased Pengrowth’saverage cost per boe.

Operating costs also include approximately $2 million of CO2 costs at Weyburn. Pengrowth hasconservatively chosen to expense the CO2 costs rather than defer and amortize these costs. The decisionto expense the CO2 costs is based on the limited information and history on the PanCanadian-operatedCO2 flood at Weyburn.

Injectants for Miscible Flood

Injectants (primarily ethane and methane) are used in the Judy Creek area miscible floods to stimulateincremental oil recovery. Pengrowth amortizes the cost of injectants purchased from third parties againstdistributable income over the period of expected future economic benefit, which is currently 30 months.In the nine months ended September 30, 2001 Pengrowth purchased $50.2 million of injectants formiscible floods. During this same period, we expensed a related $35.1 million against distributableincome. The remaining $15.1 million has been temporarily debt financed and is available for amortizationin future periods.

Pengrowth had expected the rate of amortization to match the rate of purchasing in 2001. However, theincreases in natural gas prices during the first quarter accounted for much of the $15.1 million deferralevidenced in 2001. In recent months, amortization has exceeded purchases and the deferred injectantcosts are being drawn down. For example, in the third quarter of 2001, Pengrowth purchased $10.1 millionworth of injectants and amortized $12.6 million against distributable income, with the difference of $2.5million going toward debt repayment.

Update on the Sable Project

On June 15, 2001 Pengrowth purchased a royalty on 8.4% of the natural gas and natural gas liquidsproduction from the Sable Offshore Energy Project ("SOEP").

The SOEP owners and Pengrowth recently entered into a Confidentiality Agreement providing Pengrowth with continuing access to confidential information regarding SOEP (includingproduction, geological and geophysical data and forecasts of production and costs prepared for the jointaccount). Pengrowth previously had limited access to information as a royalty owner.

Future public announcements with respect to SOEP must be coordinated through the SOEP ManagementCommittee in accordance with the arrangements with the other SOEP owners. However, Pengrowth hasretained the right to disclose certain information with respect to the SOEP royalty, subject to noticeprovisions in the agreement and applicable legal / regulatory requirements.

Access to confidential information assists in Pengrowth's negotiation of processing fees that will apply toSOEP onshore facilities. Emera Inc. acquired an 8.4% working interest in the flow lines and productionplatforms associated with the SOEP project. The other Sable owners exercised rights of first refusal withrespect to an 8.4% working interest in the balance of the Sable facilities. While Pengrowth had pre-arranged a processing agreement with Emera, it did not have a processing agreement with the other Sableowners.

The SOEP owners have proposed a processing fee arrangement that is higher than the original Emeraformula (the difference equates to a net present value of approximately $20 million over the full economiclife of the SOEP project). Pengrowth has not agreed to the proposal and is working towards a lower costfee structure. Access to ongoing confidential information will also facilitate Pengrowth's budgeting andgas marketing activities.

Daily average raw gas production from SOEP for the third quarter was approximately 543 mmcf/d(45.6 mmcf/d net to Pengrowth) reflecting increases in operating rates at the SOEP processing facilities.Pengrowth's share of sales gas averaged 42.5 mmcf/d plus 1,572 bbls of natural gas liquids during thethird quarter. Pengrowth had previously anticipated gas sales from Sable of approximately 474 mmcf/d(39.8 mmcf/d net to Pengrowth) based upon the Gilbert Laustsen Jung Established reserve case (P-50) atthe time of purchase. As a result, the average production for the 3 month period is approximately 10%higher than our original expectations.

Pengrowth is currently negotiating a contract to sell 25,000 MMBTU per day of Sable natural gas to a U.S. based gas fired electrical generation facility which is currently under construction. The proposedcontract is for an initial term of five years commencing in the third quarter of 2002. The contract price willbe based upon a basket of floating index prices related to the Boston market. Upon completion of thiscontract, Pengrowth will have contracted 33,000 MMBTU per day of its SOEP gas under long term salesarrangements.

The original agreement with respect to the SOEP acquisition anticipated that PanCanadian Energy wouldacquire the shares of Nova Scotia Resources Limited ("NSRL") after the SOEP assets had been sold.However, PanCanadian exercised its right to withdraw from the share sale because it was not able toobtain all the waivers and agreements it required. Pengrowth had executed a Share Sale BackstopAgreement with the Province of Nova Scotia (the "Province"). Under the Share Sale Backstop Agreement,Pengrowth may be required to acquire the shares of NSRL for $65 million, subject to the satisfaction ofcertain conditions. Pengrowth provided the Province with a $3 million deposit and a promissory note assecurity for any obligation to pay the balance of the purchase price. Pengrowth has taken the position thatit is not required to close under the Backstop Share Sale Agreement for reasons that include the non-satisfaction of the conditions.

Pengrowth and the Province have nonetheless entered into an agreement to seek an alternate buyer forthe shares of NSRL. If a mutually acceptable buyer to both Pengrowth and the Province is found for theshares of NSRL before December 17th, 2001 for a price less than $65 million, Pengrowth may be obligedto account to the Province for half of the shortfall. The Province and Pengrowth are also exploring otherdeal structures and potential transactions. An active sale solicitation process is being conducted inconjunction with the financial advisors to both Pengrowth and the Province and we anticipate an offer oroffers will be advanced to the Province with respect to the sale of NSRL.

The assets that remain in NSRL include interests in Significant Discovery Licenses, 2 production platformsand other assets. One of the production platforms is located in the previously abandoned Cohasset field,and the other is located in the Panuke field. The 11 Significant Discovery Licenses have modest directvalue to Pengrowth but may have farm-out or exploration potential to a conventional oil and gas company.The production platforms have abandonment liabilities associated with them, but may be useful in thedevelopment of other fields in the area.

Financial Resources

Pengrowth’s long-term debt at September 30, 2001 was $389.8 million, compared to $286.8 million atDecember 31, 2000. The increase in debt is attributed to acquisitions and capital spending offset byproceeds of trust units issued and property dispositions.

The ratio of debt to trailing 12-month distributable income at September 30, 2001 was 1.5 times. Inaddition, distributable income covered interest expense by 12 times in the first nine months of 2001.

Reconciliation of Funds Generated from Operations to Distributions

The following table demonstrates Pengrowth’s policy of distributing 100% of funds generated by operationsafter adjusting for the manner in which Pengrowth amortizes miscible injectant costs. The practice ofamortizing injectant costs over 30 months creates a temporary difference that reverses over time.

A meaningful comparison of “Funds Generated from Operations” to the “Distributions” amount shown onPengrowth’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow requires an adjustment for the two-month time lagbetween when funds are generated by the business and when they are paid to unitholders.

Judy Creek – Viking Gas Development Activity

• Drilled a successful gas well (100% Pengrowth) which is currently being tied in.• Successfully shut down one gas plant by transferring loads to other plants and optimizing processing

conditions. This resulted in an annual cost saving of over $500,000 net to Pengrowth.• Drilled a water & solvent injection well in the NW quadrant of “A” pool.• Started production at another oil well drilled in the NW quadrant earlier in the year. The current oil

rate is 125 bopd net Pengrowth.• Started gas production from three successful workovers performed in Q2. Once optimization

activities are completed, total production from these three 100% Pengrowth wells is forecast to be1.5 mmcf/d.

• Started water injection at three injection wells drilled earlier in the year to enhance the waterfloodcapabilities of the reservoir.

At McLeod River:• Completed two new gas wells drilled earlier in the year. The first well (100% Pengrowth) has

commenced production at a rate that is expected to stabilize at approximately 1.5 mmcf/d from twoproducing zones. The second well (87.5% Pengrowth) is on stream at 1.0 mmcf/d.

McLeod River Drilling Activity

At Enchant:• Installed a high volume pump on a 100% Pengrowth-owned well resulting in a 65 bpd production

increase.• Continued well optimization and development has reduced the reservoir decline rate over the last

year from 22% to 10%.

At Kaybob Notikewan:• Installed a wellhead compressor resulting in a production increase of 260 mcf/d net to Pengrowth• Removed gathering system restrictions for a production increase of 65 mcf/d net to Pengrowth.

At Nipisi:• Drilled one successful oil well and one water injector. Both wells are currently being tied in.

At Deer Mountain:• Pengrowth assumed the operatorship of this 78% Pengrowth-owned oil unit enabling Pengrowth to

better initiate optimization and development work. Several opportunities are being evaluated.

Page 14: Pengrowth 2001 Q3

At Weyburn Unit:• Pengrowth has a 9.75% working interest in the PanCanadian operated Weyburn Unit. • The carbon dioxide (CO2) project has begun to show favorable performance in the third quarter of

2001. CO2 injection has commenced in seventeen of nineteen initial patterns and six patterns havealready exhibited production response. The incremental oil production is currently 1,900 bpd(185 bpd net to Pengrowth) and is increasing. The gross unit production for the third quarteraveraged 19,200 bpd, 1,872 bpd net to Pengrowth.

At House Mountain:• Oil production decreased approximately 20% in the month of September due to an Apache gas plant

maintenance turnaround. It is anticipated that oil production volumes will return to the pre-turnaround level in October.

At Monogram:• A number of compressor failures at this PanCanadian operated property have delayed the

incremental production expected from the recent 40 well infill drilling program. The compressorproblems are expected to be remedied during October.

• Pengrowth participated in the drilling of two successful non-unit Belly River wells during the thirdquarter. These wells will be placed on production in October.

At Minnehik Buck Lake:• Pengrowth holds a 17.9% working interest in the Minnehik Buck Lake Gas Unit #1 where gas

production for the third quarter averaged 3.8 mmcf/d and 175 bbls of NGLs net to Pengrowth. Theoperator, Penn West, has recently completed three successful gas wells which are currentlyproducing at a combined raw gas rate of 3.6 mmcf/d (Pengrowth share 640 mcf/d).

At Sable:• Record levels of production were achieved from the Sable project in the third quarter with gross raw

gas volumes averaging 543 mmcf/d (45.6 mmcf/d Pengrowth share). Net sales gas volumes averaged42.5 mmcf/d during the quarter, 10% over our expectations.

• Venture 2, a successful development well, was placed on stream during August and averaged60 mmcf/d raw gas in September (Pengrowth share 5 mmcf/d).

• A well is currently being drilled in the Thebaud gas field. Testing and completion operations areexpected to occur during October.

2001 Tax Estimate Update

Pengrowth forecasts that in the current commodity price environment, approximately 60% ofdistributions paid in 2001 will be taxable to unitholders, with the remainder of distributions treated asreturn of capital and thus tax deferred. The taxability may be reduced if Pengrowth makes additionalacquisitions and issues new equity during the balance of the year.

New Capital Markets

Pengrowth continues its endeavours regarding the potential of listing on stock exchanges and raisingequity financing in the United States. Pengrowth has initiated this process with the intent of improvingmarket liquidity and investor demand.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSForward and Futures ContractsPengrowth has a price risk management program whereby the commodity price associated with a portionof its future production is fixed. Pengrowth sells forward a portion of its future production through acombination of fixed price sales contracts with customers and commodity swap agreements with financialcounterparties. The forward and futures contracts are subject to market risk from fluctuating commodityprices and exchange rates however, gains or losses on the contracts are offset by changes in the value ofPengrowth’s production.

As at September 30, 2001, Pengrowth had fixed the price applicable to future production as follows:

Crude Oil Natural GasVolume Price Volume Plantgate Price

(bbl/d) C$/bbl (mcf/d) C$/mcf

2001 4,000* $39.32 10,508 $2.982002 1,000* $42.20 7,736 $2.98

*Contract ends June 30, 2002

The estimated fair value of the crude oil financial swap contracts and the natural gas fixed price salescontracts have been determined based on the amounts Pengrowth would receive or pay to terminate thecontracts at period-end. At September 30, 2001 the amount Pengrowth would receive if the crude oilcontracts were terminated would be $1,861,000. Pengrowth would pay $1,271,000 at September 30,2001 to terminate the natural gas contracts.

7. INCOME TAXESThe net book value of property, plant and equipment exceed the cost basis for income tax purposes by$159,332,000 and a future income liability of $71,062,000 has been recorded in respect thereof.

8. COMMITMENTPengrowth has entered into an agreement with the Province of Nova Scotia whereby Pengrowth may berequired to purchase the shares of Nova Scotia Resources Limited for $65 million, subject to satisfactionof certain conditions by the Province of Nova Scotia.
