UN
) (NY

E:P

H), is pleased to announce the interim unaudited operating and financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2009.
C
ash flow from operating activities before working capital changes was approximately $160.1 million ($0.62 per trust unit) in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $130.4 million ($0.51 per trust unit) in the first quarter and $272.7 million ($1.10 per trust unit) in the same period last year.
T
he decrease in cash flow from operations from the same period last year is largely due to lower commodity prices, partly offset by higher production volumes and lower royalty expenses. Pengrowth recorded net income of $10.3 million ($0.04 per trust unit) for the second quarter of 2009 compared to a loss of $118.7 million ($0.48 per trust unit) in the same period last year.
F
or both years, non-cash items, specifically unrealized losses on mark-to-market risk management contracts had a negative impact on net income, yet did not impact cash flow from operating activities. Distributions declared in the second quarter totalled $77.5 million versus $77.2 million during the first quarter and $168.2 million in the second quarter last year. Pengrowth reduced its distributions in the first quarter of 2009 to $0.10 per trust unit per month, to align with the global decline in commodity prices since the second quarter of 2008. During the second quarter, Pengrowth declared distributions of $0.30 per trust unit to its unitholders, which is 48 percent of cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes. Pengrowth's distributions have remained stable at $0.10 per trust unit per month for the past six months, up to and including the most recently announced
A
ugust 17, 2009 distribution. Daily production was 82,171 boe per day, an increase of two percent when compared to both the first quarter's production of 80,284 boe per day and the second quarter of 2008's production of 80,895 boe per day.
T
he increase was partially due to prior period adjustments, arising through the final stage of the integration process for assets previously acquired. In addition, volumes brought on stream from the development program together with a scheduled condensate lift at
S
able Offshore Energy Project (
S
OEP) and minimal weather related issues throughout the quarter all aided in boosting production during the second quarter.
A
t this time, Pengrowth is raising its guidance for annual production from 76,000 - 78,000 boe per day to 78,000 - 79,500 boe per day, excluding any impact from potential future acquisitions or dispositions. Development capital for the second quarter of 2009 totalled $40.1 million, with approximately 63 percent spent on drilling and completions. Pengrowth participated in drilling 10 gross wells (5.4 net) throughout the quarter, all of which were cased for production.

C
hairman's Message
T
o our valued unitholders, I am pleased to present the unaudited quarterly operating and financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
A
lthough positive sentiment has begun to be reflected in the global marketplace, lower commodity prices through the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 continued to have the most significant impact on earnings and operating cash flow throughout the second quarter.
T
he second quarter results reflected a stabilization in crude oil prices in the U.
S
. $50 to $60 per barrel range, recovering from the lows in the U.
S
. $32 to $35 range reached during the first quarter. Natural gas price weakness continued during the quarter averaging U.
S
. $ 3.50 per mcf as compared with U.
S
. $4.89 per mcf in the first quarter of 2009. Pengrowth was able to offset the weak crude oil and natural gas prices somewhat through our price risk management program and solid daily production averaging 82,171 boe per day during the quarter.
T
o summarize Pengrowth's second quarter results: Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $160.1 million (or $0.62 per trust unit), a 23 percent increase over the first quarter's operating cash flow of $130.4 million (or $0.51 per trust unit) and a 41 percent decrease when compared to $272.7 million (or $1.10 per trust unit) in the second quarter of 2008. Daily production increased two percent to 82,171 boe per day during the second quarter from the first quarter's level of 80,284 boe per day and also increased two percent from 2008's second quarter level of 80,895 boe per day.
A
t this time, Pengrowth is raising its guidance for annual production from 76,000 - 78,000 boe per day to 78,000 - 79,500 boe per day.
T
he increase in production of almost 2,000 boe per day is partially attributable to prior period adjustments, arising through the final stage of the integration process for assets previously aquired. In addition, volumes brought on stream from the development program together with a scheduled condensate lift at
S
able Offshore Energy Project (
S
OEP) and minimal weather related issues throughout the quarter all aided in boosting production during the second quarter. Distributions declared remained stable during the second quarter totalling $77.5 million or $0.30 per trust unit as compared with $77.2 million or $0.30 per trust unit during the first quarter. When compared to the same period last year, distributions declared have declined by 54 percent from $168.2 million or $0.68 per trust unit declared during the second quarter of 2008.
T
he reduction in distributions year-over-year is reflective of Pengrowth's conservative approach toward both distributions and capital spending based on our continued commitment to preserve our financial flexibility. Pengrowth's payout ratio (ratio of distributions declared over cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes) for the second quarter of 2009 was 48 percent and our total payout ratio when including capital expenditures totalled 76 percent during the quarter.
T
his represents an operating surplus and the outlook is positive for the balance of the year.
F
ully funding our capital program and distributions from cash flow from operating activities continues to place Pengrowth in a position of considerable flexibility to pursue new acquisition and consolidation activities should the right opportunities present themselves. Beginning with the March 15, 2009 payment, Pengrowth has maintained our
C
dn $0.10 per trust unit distribution level for six consecutive months up to and including the recently declared
A
ugust 17, 2009 distribution. Pengrowth's board of directors will continue to prudently examine distributions on a monthly basis while considering overall oil and gas market conditions and capital spending requirements. While our planned capital spending may be lower in 2009 than 2008, the projects have been selected to provide the greatest economic value for the capital spent.
C
apital development expenditures were $40.1 million for the second quarter of 2009 as compared with $68.0 million during the first quarter. Pengrowth's development program has continued to deliver as expected with 63 percent of our capital development expenditures being spent on the drilling of 10 gross wells (5.4 net) throughout the quarter, all of which were cased for production and $0.6 million was spent on land acquisitions, adding 5,560 net acres. During the second quarter, we continued to selectively reallocate capital to high-grade projects where immediate cash flow and value creation could be realized.
C
apital reallocation of $23 million budgeted for other projects ($7 million from Lindbergh oil sands pilot project) was reallocated to our
C
arson
C
reek property, an area in which we have had considerable development success in recent months. Pengrowth acquired additional 3D seismic in the first quarter and plans to follow up with six horizontal wells during the remainder of the year.
T
his area in the
C
arson pool had no production at the time of acquisition in 2006, yet following a drilling campaign of five vertical wells and one horizontal well production peaked at 1,500 boe per day. We plan to ramp up production for the remainder of the year and into the first quarter of 2010 pending success of the horizontal well drilling program which commenced in the second quarter.
T
he Lindbergh oil sands property also continues to provide significant long term potential for Pengrowth and the progress being made on the pilot project remains important as commercial development is ready to move forward once commodity prices improve. In May, the
G
overnment of
A
lberta, through
A
lberta Energy's Innovative Energy
T
echnologies Program (IE
T
P) announced it would commit $3.54 million towards Pengrowth's carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery pilot at our Judy
C
reek facility in central
A
lberta.
T
his project is very helpful in evaluating and confirming the economic viability of recovering additional reserves from Pengrowth's proven long-life conventional oil pools. Over the quarter, Pengrowth continued to benefit from the stabilization in operating cash flow provided by our risk management strategy, especially as we continue to be challenged by depressed North
A
merican gas prices. In total, realized gains from our hedging strategy were $47.1 million in the quarter. Pengrowth realized a price of
C
dn $73.26 per bbl on its light oil contracts during the second quarter as compared to the benchmark
WT
I
(West
T
exas Intermediate) translated to
C
dn $69.71 per bbl and realized a price of
C
dn $4.78 per mcf(i) of natural gas, in comparison to the
A
E
C
O spot benchmark of
C
dn $3.47 per gj(i) and the NYMEX gas equivalent translated to
C
dn $4.06 per mmbtu(i).
F
or the remainder of the year, Pengrowth has hedged approximately 64 percent of our net liquids production at a price of
C
dn $82.45 per bbl and 44 percent of our net natural gas production at an average price of
C
dn $8.00 per mmbtu. In addition, for 2010, Pengrowth has approximately 12,500 bbl per day of crude oil production hedged at
C
dn $82.09 per bbl and 16,600 mmbtu per day of natural gas production hedged at
C
dn $8.64 per mmbtu.
A
s the majority of our revenue is derived in U.
S
. dollars, the strengthening of the
C
anadian dollar in relation to the U.
S
. dollar has negatively impacted Pengrowth's revenue in
C
anadian dollar terms.
T
he
C
anadian dollar/U.
S
. dollar exchange rate averaged 0.86 for the second quarter, closed at 0.86 on June 30, 2009 and has recently risen to the 0.92 U.
S
. level.
T
he average price realized for Pengrowth's oil and gas sales of $44.74 per boe, after commodity risk management contracts, remained stable when compared to the first quarter's average realized price of $44.57 per boe, after risk management contracts. When compared to the second quarter of 2008's average realized price of $73.21, 2009's second quarter average realized price decreased 39 percent.
T
he stabilization between the first two quarters of the year is reflective of Pengrowth's active risk management program, whereas the decrease from the second quarter of last year to the second quarter of this year can be attributed to the lower commodity price environment in 2009 versus 2008. Operating expenses in the second quarter of $11.84 per boe decreased 20 percent from $14.87 per boe in the first quarter as reductions in
A
lberta Power Pool prices resulted in lower operating expenses in the second quarter. Reductions in
A
lberta Power Pool prices resulted in a $7.8 million decrease in utility expenses over the quarter.
A
t this time, due primarily to the lower utility pricing expected for the remainder of the year as well increased production guidance and ongoing cost reduction activities, Pengrowth is lowering our full year 2009 operating cost guidance from $14.45 per boe to $14.00 per boe.
C
ost savings will continue to be an important focus for Pengrowth given the current economic climate and depressed commodity prices. Pengrowth's operating netback increased to $26.28 per boe in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $23.87 in the first quarter and $42.15 in the same period last year.
T
he decrease in operating costs during the second quarter was the primary contributor to the higher netback quarter-over-quarter.
T
he decrease in netback year-over-year can mainly be attributed to the decline in global commodity prices offset slightly by lower utility pricing. Recent weeks have seen considerable positive sentiment in the financial markets as consumer confidence continues to rise, credit markets soften and global fiscal and monetary stimulus plans take hold. Pertinent to our industry, the fundamentals for crude oil also continue to strengthen with increasingly positive economic news.
S
ince the first quarter, we have seen the leveling of crude prices from their lows in the mid $30 range to their current levels around the $70 mark.
A
lthough there is continued concern over depressed North
A
merican natural gas prices these too seem to have found a stabilized trading range between U.
S
. $3.25 to $4.00 per mcf and we see a number of positive signs moving forward. Rig activity has declined dramatically in North
A
merica over the last year and production decline will likely cut into storage volumes as the economy recovers.
T
he Bank of
C
anada recently announced their belief that the
C
anadian economy will in fact grow through the next quarter and that
C
anada (and the rest of the world) are on the track toward economic recovery. Regardless of the differing beliefs on how swift a recovery may be, the popular opinion contends that we have found bottom and a definite revival of the financial markets is in the works. It is my belief that it is only a matter of time before a visible and firm recovery takes shape.
A
t Pengrowth, we are poised and ready to embark on the emerging road to recovery and we remain focused toward the growth and value opportunities that lie ahead for the
T
rust and our unitholders.
T
hank you for your continued support and dedication through the first half of this year and I look forward to the potential continued recovery that is ahead of us for the remainder of 2009. Best regards, James

. When converting natural gas to equivalent barrels of oil within this discussion, Pengrowth uses the industry standard of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil equivalent. Barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation; a conversion ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion primarily and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Production volumes, revenues and reserves are reported on a company interest gross basis (before royalties) in accordance with

A
ll amounts are stated in
C
anadian dollars unless otherwise specified. OVERVIEW Pengrowth generated cash flow from operating activities of $144.1 million during the second quarter of 2009, a 53 percent increase from the first quarter of 2009.
C
ontributing to the increase were higher production volumes, higher realized prices for oil and natural gas liquids (N
G
L), lower operating expenses and a reduction in non-cash operating working capital. Lower commodity prices in the current year was the major contributor to a 51 percent decrease in operating cash flow and a 33 percent decrease in the operating netback comparing the first half of 2009 to the same period of 2008.
S
imilarly, the 46 percent decrease in operating cash flows from the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to commodity prices retreating from 2008's record high oil prices and very strong natural gas prices. /

omparing second quarter 2009 to the first quarter of 2009, Pengrowth recorded net income of $10.3 million compared to a net loss of $54.2 million in the first quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $118.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. Included in the net income (loss) are unrealized losses on mark-to-market commodity risk management contracts which result from the change in fair value of the contracts between periods. In the second quarter of 2009, an unrealized loss of $115.4 million before taxes ($82.5 million after tax) was recorded compared to an unrealized loss of $12.6 million before tax ($9.0 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2009 and an unrealized loss of $352.6 million before tax ($247.3 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2008. While the strengthening of the
C
anadian dollar relative to the U.
S
. dollar during the quarter had a negative impact on cash flow as lower revenue was received, the stronger dollar resulted in unrealized foreign exchange gains on foreign denominated debt of $79.8 million before tax ($79.8 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2009 compared to a loss of $39.2 million before tax ($39.2 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2009 and a gain of $4.7 million before tax ($4.1 million after tax) for the second quarter of 2008. During the first half of 2009, the net loss was approximately $44 million, a decrease of 75 percent compared to the first half of 2008.
T
his decrease is primarily due to reduced unrealized commodity risk management losses in the current year, partly offset by lower price-driven revenue as discussed above.

econd quarter 2009 production volumes benefited from prior period volumes which are mainly from prior year acquisitions, reduced solvent injection at Judy

/ Light crude oil production volumes decreased approximately one percent in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily a result of turnaround activity at Nipisi and natural declines. Production volumes decreased approximately eight percent comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the same period of 2008 and approximately seven percent for the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.
T
he decreases are primarily attributable to the previously mentioned turnaround work, first quarter operational issues at Judy
C
reek and natural declines. Heavy oil production increased approximately two percent compared to the first quarter of 2009.
T
he increase in the second quarter was a result of the completion of downhole repair work at
T
angleflags.
T
he decrease in production comparing the second quarter of 2009 and first half of 2009 to the same periods of 2008 is attributable to maintenance activities at
T
angleflags and natural declines offset by strong performance of the East Bodo polymer flood pilot. Natural gas production increased five percent from the first quarter of 2009.
T
he increase in the second quarter is attributable to prior period volumes from previous acquisitions (approximately 1,000 boe per day) being recorded in the current quarter. Other factors contributing to the increase in the second quarter include improved uptime at Quirk
C
reek, additional volumes as a result of the gas development program and the production from properties purchased in the first quarter. Partially offsetting the increases were operational issues at
S
OEP, turnaround activities at Dunvegan and natural declines. Production volumes increased six percent comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the same period of 2008 and approximately two percent for the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.
T
hese increases are a result of the prior period volumes recorded in the current quarter, additional volumes from the gas development program, particularly at
C
arson
C
reek and Monogram, volumes from the minor acquisitions in the first quarter, the
A
ccrete acquisition and uptime at Olds in the current period as the maintenance shutdown in 2008 was not repeated in the current year.

hese increases to production were partially offset by the previously mentioned operational issues at
S
OEP, current year turnaround activity and natural declines. N
G
L production increased two percent in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to the condensate lift at
S
OEP compared to the absence of a condensate lift in the first quarter of 2009 and prior period volumes being booked at Harmattan for ethane recoveries (approximately 500 bbls per day average for the second quarter).
S
econd quarter 2009 production increased approximately 16 percent compared to second quarter 2008 and nine percent in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.
T
hese increases are attributable to the prior period ethane recoveries at Harmattan and higher sales at Judy
C
reek as a result of lower solvent injection in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by decreased number of condensate lifts at
S
OEP in the current period and natural decline. Pricing and
C
ommodity Risk Management Pengrowth's realizations are influenced by the benchmark prices; realized gains from commodity risk management activities have partially muted the effects of lower natural gas prices.
A
s part of its risk management strategy, Pengrowth uses forward price swaps to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations to provide a measure of stability to monthly cash distributions and to partially secure returns on significant new acquisitions.
A
s of June 30, 2009, Pengrowth has crude oil contracts for the remainder of 2009, 2010 and 2011 for 15,500 bbls per day, 12,500 bbls per day and 500 bbls per day respectively.
A
lso as of June 30, 2009, Pengrowth has natural gas contracts for the remainder of 2009 and 2010 for approximately 75,000 mcf per day and approximately 16,600 mcf per day, respectively. Each
C
dn $1 per barrel change in future oil prices would result in approximately
C
dn $7.6 million pre-tax change in the value of the crude contracts.
S
imilarly, each
C
dn $0.25 per mcf change in future natural gas prices would result in approximately
C
dn $4.9 million pre-tax change in the value of the natural gas contracts.
T
he changes in the fair value of the forward contracts directly affects reported net income as the unrealized amounts recorded in the income statement during the period.
T
he effect on cash flows will be recognized separately only upon realization of the contracts, which could vary significantly from the unrealized amount recorded due to timing and prices when each contract is settled. However, if each contract were to settle at the contract price in effect at June 30, 2009, future revenue and cash flow would be increased by the $36.7 million unrealized commodity risk management asset that has been recorded to June 30, 2009.
T
he $36.7 million asset is composed of an asset of $46.3 million relating to contracts expiring in 2009 and a liability of $9.6 million relating to contracts expiring in 2010 and 2011. Pengrowth has fixed the
C
anadian dollar exchange rate at the same time that it swaps any U.
S
. dollar denominated commodity in order to protect against changes in the foreign exchange rate. Pengrowth has not designated any outstanding commodity contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and therefore records these contracts on the balance sheet at their fair value and recognize changes in fair value on the income statement as unrealized commodity risk management gains or losses.
T
here will continue to be volatility in earnings to the extent that the fair value of commodity contracts fluctuate however, these non-cash amounts do not impact Pengrowth's operating cash flows. Realized commodity risk management gains or losses are recorded in oil and gas sales on the income statement and impacts cash flows at that time. /

econd quarter 2009 operating expenses decreased $21.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. In addition to the previously mentioned lower utility prices, lower maintenance activities and deferral of maintenance projects in the current quarter, second quarter 2008 included $4.5 million of expenses related to the Olds turnaround not repeated in the current year. Operating expenses for the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 decreased by $13.2 million mainly attributable to a 44 percent decrease in power pool prices, the absence of turnaround expenses at Olds and the deferral of maintenance activities.
A
t this time, primarily due to lower utility pricing as well as increased production guidance; Pengrowth is lowering its anticipated total operating expenses for 2009 from approximately $14.45 per boe to approximately $14.00 per boe. /

T
he amount of injectants purchased and capitalized in the second quarter 2009 was higher than the first quarter of 2009 as Pengrowth relied more heavily on third party volumes for injectant requirements rather than on proprietary volumes.
T
he value of Pengrowth's proprietary injectants is not recorded as an asset or a sale; the cost of producing these injectants is included in operating expenses. Operating Netbacks
T
here is no standardized measure of operating netbacks and therefore operating netbacks, as presented below, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
C
ertain assumptions have been made in allocating operating expenses, other production income, other income and royalty injection credits between light crude, heavy oil, natural gas and N

L production. Pengrowth recorded an average operating netback of $26.28 per boe in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $23.87 per boe in the first quarter of 2009 and $42.15 per boe for the second quarter of 2008.
T
he increase in the netback in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2009 is primarily attributable to lower operating expenses.
T
he decrease in operating netback in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 was primarily a result of lower combined commodity price realizations and partly offset by lower royalty expenses.

axes In determining its taxable income, the
C
orporation deducts payments made to the
T
rust, effectively transferring the income tax liability to unitholders thus reducing the
C
orporation's taxable income to nil. Under the
C
orporation's current distribution policy, at the discretion of the board, funds can be withheld to fund future capital expenditures, repay debt or used for other corporate purposes. If withholdings increased sufficiently or the
C
orporation's tax pool balances were reduced sufficiently, the
C
orporation could become subject to taxation on a portion of its income in the future.
T
his can be mitigated through various options including the issuance of additional trust units, increased tax pools from additional capital spending, modifications to the distribution policy or potential changes to the corporate structure. Bill

" and the taxation of distributions from such entities (the "
S

Legislation"). Bill
C
-52 applies a tax at the trust level on distributions of certain income from such a
S
I
FT
trust at a rate of tax comparable to the combined federal and provincial corporate tax rate.
T
hese distributions will be treated as dividends to the trust unitholders. Pengrowth believes that it is characterized as a
S
I
FT
trust and, as a result, will be subject to Bill
C
-52 commencing on January 1, 2011 subject to the qualification below regarding the possible loss of the four year grandfathering period in the case of "undue expansion". Pengrowth may lose the benefit of the grandfathering period, which ends December 31, 2010, if Pengrowth exceeds the limits on the issuance of new trust units and convertible debt that constitute normal growth during the grandfathering period (subject to certain exceptions).
T
he normal growth limits are calculated as a percentage of Pengrowth's market capitalization of approximately $4.8 billion on October 31, 2006.
T
he normal growth guidelines have been revised to accelerate the safe harbour amount for each of 2009 and 2010.
A
s of June 30, 2009 Pengrowth may issue $4.2 billion of equity in total for 2009 and 2010 under the safe harbour provision.
T
he normal growth restriction on trust unit issuance is monitored by management as part of the overall capital management objectives. Pengrowth is in compliance with the normal growth restrictions. Based on existing tax legislation, the tax rate in 2011 is expected to be 26.5 percent and 25 percent in 2012 and subsequent years.
T
he payment of this tax will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders. On July 14, 2008,

F

T
he conversion rules would be available to Pengrowth if Pengrowth determines to convert to a corporation.
T
he transition provisions are only available to trusts that convert prior to 2013. Pengrowth can continue to have the benefit of its tax structure through December 31, 2010.
S

C
-10, which received Royal
A
ssent on March 12, 2009, contained legislation implementing the conversion rules. Pursuant to the
S
I

hose steps could include, but are not limited to, raising equity, selling assets, reducing capital expenditures or reducing distributions. Details of these measures are included in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. In the event of a significant acquisition, Pengrowth may prepare pro forma financial statements for debt covenant purposes and has additional flexibility under its debt covenants for a set period of time. Pengrowth has implemented an Equity Distribution Program which permits the distribution of up to 25,000,000 trust units from time to time at prevailing market prices until January of 2010 through the New York
S
tock Exchange (NY
S

A
greement enabling the at-the-market distribution had expired but were reinstated on May 6, 2009 and July 13, 2009 respectively. No trust units were issued under the Equity Distribution Program during the period ended June 30, 2009.

T
rust Units over two trading days at an average price of U

C
anadian banks and four foreign banks which expires June 15, 2011, and a $50 million demand operating line of credit with one
C
anadian bank.
A
s of June 30, 2009 the term credit facility was reduced by drawings of $450 million and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $11 million while the operating facility, which is accounted for under Bank Indebtedness on the Balance
S
heet, was reduced by drawings of $3 million. Pengrowth expects to be able to fund its 2009 development program and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they arise.
A
t June 30, 2009, Pengrowth had approximately $784 million available to draw from its credit facilities. Unitholders are eligible to participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). DRIP entitles the unitholder to reinvest cash distributions in additional units of the
T
rust.
T
he trust units under the plan are issued from treasury at a five percent discount to the weighted average closing price of all trust units traded on the
TS

In certain circumstances, being in default of one loan will, absent a cure, result in other loans to also be in default. In the event that Pengrowth was not in compliance with any one of the financial covenants in its credit facility or senior unsecured notes, Pengrowth would be in default of one or more of its loans and would have to repay the debt, refinance the debt or negotiate new terms with the debt holders and may have to suspend distributions to unitholders.

T
/ Distributions typically exceed net income as a result of non-cash expenses which may include unrealized losses on commodity risk; depletion, depreciation, and amortization; future income tax expense; trust unit based compensation; and accretion.
T
hese non-cash expenses result in a reduction to net income, with no impact to cash flow from operating activities. Pengrowth's goal over longer periods of time is to maximize returns to the unitholders through cash distributions on a per
T
rust Unit basis and enhancing the value of the
T
rust Units.
A
ccordingly, we expect that distributions will exceed net income in most periods. In most periods, we would not expect distributions to exceed cash flows from operating activities. In the event distributions exceed cash flows from operating activities, the shortfall would be funded by available bank facilities.
T
he most likely circumstance for this to occur would be where there is a significant negative impact to working capital during the reporting period.
A
s a result of the depleting nature of Pengrowth's oil and gas assets, capital expenditures are required to offset production declines while other capital is required to maintain facilities, acquire prospective lands and prepare future projects.
C
apital spending and acquisitions may be funded by the excess of cash flows from operating activities over distributions declared, through additional debt or the issuance of equity. Pengrowth does not deduct capital expenditures when calculating cash flows from operating activities. However, Pengrowth does deduct costs associated with environmental activities when calculating cash flows from operating activities. Notwithstanding the fact that cash flow from operating activities normally exceeds distributions, the difference is not sufficient to fund the capital spending required to fully replace production.
T
hat difference is funded by equity or a combination of equity and debt.
A
ccordingly, Pengrowth believes our distributions include a return of capital.
F
orecasted capital spending in 2009 of $207 million will not be sufficient to fully replace the oil and gas reserves Pengrowth expects to produce during the year. If the produced reserves are not offset in the future by additional capital or acquisitions, future distributions could be impacted. Pengrowth has historically paid distributions at a level that includes a portion which is a return of capital to its investors.
F
rom time to time Pengrowth may issue additional trust units to fund capital programs and acquisitions. Investors can elect to participate in the distribution re-investment program.
C
ash flows from operating activities are derived from producing and selling oil, natural gas and related products.
A
s such, cash flow from operating activities is highly dependent on commodity prices. Pengrowth entered into forward commodity contracts to mitigate price volatility and to provide a measure of stability to monthly cash flows. Details of commodity contracts are contained in Note 13 to the financial statements.
T
he board of directors and management regularly review the level of distributions.
T
he board considers a number of factors, including expectations of future commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements, and the availability of debt and equity capital. Pursuant to the Royalty Indenture, the board can establish a reserve for certain items including up to 20 percent of the
C
orporation's gross revenue to fund various costs including future capital expenditures, royalty income in any future period and future abandonment costs.
A
s a result of the volatility in commodity prices, changes in production levels and capital expenditure requirements, there can be no certainty that Pengrowth will be able to maintain current levels of distributions and distributions can and may fluctuate in the future.
T
o maintain its financial flexibility, Pengrowth reduced monthly distributions twice between March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 from 22.5 cents per trust unit to 17 cents per trust unit to 10 cents per trust unit. In the current production and price environment, the possibility of suspending distributions in the near future is unlikely, but the amount may vary. Pengrowth has no restrictions on the payment of its distributions other than maintaining its financial covenants in its borrowings.
C
ash distributions are generally paid to unitholders on or about the 15th day of the second month following the month of production. Pengrowth paid $0.30 per trust unit as cash distributions during the second quarter of 2009.
T
axability of Distributions
A
t this time, 100 percent of Pengrowth's 2009 distributions are anticipated to be taxable to
C
anadian residents. Pengrowth amended its U.
S
. tax entity election to be classified as a corporation for U.
S
. federal income tax purposes effective July 1, 2009. Distributions paid to U.
S
. residents for the first six months of 2009 will be treated as partnership distributions for U.
S
. federal tax purposes and will be treated as dividends starting with the July 15th distribution. Distributions to U.
S
. residents are currently subject to a 15 percent
C
anadian withholding tax. On
S
eptember 21, 2007,
C
anada and the United
S
tates signed the fifth protocol of the
C
anada-United
S
tates
T
ax
C
onvention (the "Protocol") which increases the amount of
C
anadian withholding tax from 15 percent to 25 percent on distributions of income from a partnership.
T
he increase will become effective on and after January 1, 2010, which was one of the reasons prompting Pengrowth to change its election on July 1, 2009, and have its distributions taxed as dividends for U.
S
. investors.
A
s a result the increase does not apply to corporate dividends and the withholding tax will remain at 15 percent on Pengrowth's distributions. Residents of the U.
S
. should consult their individual tax advisors on the impact of this change.
T
he
C
anadian withholding tax rate on distributions paid to unitholders in other countries varies based on individual tax treaties. /

T
/ Production changes over these quarters was a result of property dispositions completed by Pengrowth throughout 2007, production limitations due to plant turnarounds and unscheduled maintenance in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2008 and a property acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2008.
C
hanges in commodity prices have affected oil and gas sales, which have been partially muted by risk management activity to mitigate price volatility and to provide a measure of stability to monthly cash flows. Net income (loss) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 has been impacted by non-cash charges, in particular depletion, depreciation and accretion, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, and future taxes.
C
ash flow has not been impacted by the non-cash charges, however, reflects the impact of higher operating and general and administrative costs. Business Risks
T
he amount of distributions available to unitholders and the value of Pengrowth trust units are subject to numerous risk factors.
A
s 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: -
C
apital markets may restrict Pengrowth's access to capital and raise its borrowing costs.
T
o the extent that external sources of capital become limited or cost prohibitive, Pengrowth's ability to fund future development and acquisition opportunities may be impaired. - Pengrowth is exposed to third party credit risk through it's oil and gas sales, financial hedging transactions and joint venture activities.
T
he failure of any of these counterparties to meet their contractual obligations could adversely impact Pengrowth. In response, Pengrowth has established a credit policy designed to mitigate this risk and monitors its counterparties on a regular basis. -
T
he prices of Pengrowth's products (crude oil, natural gas, and N
G
Ls) fluctuate due to many factors including local and global market supply and demand, weather patterns, pipeline transportation and political and economic stability. -
T
he marketability of our production depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities. Operational or economic factors may result in the inability to deliver our products to market. -
G
eological and operational risks affect the quantity and quality of reserves and the costs of recovering those reserves. Our actual results will vary from our reserve estimates and those variations could be material. -
G
overnment royalties, income taxes, commodity taxes and other taxes, levies and fees have a significant economic impact on Pengrowth's financial results.
C
hanges to federal and provincial legislation governing such royalties, taxes and fees, including implementation of the
S
I
FT
Legislation, could have a material impact on Pengrowth's financial results and the value of Pengrowth trust units. - Pengrowth could lose its grandfathered status under the
S
I
FT
Legislation and become subject to the old
S
I
FT
tax prior to January 1, 2011 if it exceeds the normal growth guidelines. - Oil and gas operations carry the risk of damaging the local environment in the event of equipment or operational failure.
T
he cost to remediate any environmental damage could be significant. - Environmental laws and regulatory initiatives impact Pengrowth financially and operationally. We may incur substantial capital and operating expenses to comply with increasingly complex laws and regulations covering the protection of the environment and human health and safety. In particular, we may be required to incur significant costs to comply with future regulations to reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions. - Pengrowth's oil and gas reserves will be depleted over time and our level of cash flow from operations and the value of our trust units could be reduced if reserves and production are not replaced.
T
he ability to replace production depends on the amount of capital invested and success in developing existing reserves, acquiring new reserves and financing this development and acquisition activity within the context of the capital markets. - Increased competition for properties will drive the cost of acquisitions up and expected returns from the properties down. -
T
iming of oil and gas operations is dependent on gaining timely access to lands.
C
onsultations, that are mandated by governing authorities, with all stakeholders (including surface owners,
F
irst Nations and all interested parties) are becoming increasingly time consuming and complex, and are having a direct impact on cycle times. -
A
significant portion of Pengrowth's properties are operated by third parties whereby Pengrowth has less control over the pace of capital and operating expenditures. If these operators fail to perform their duties properly, or become insolvent, we may experience interruptions in production and revenues from these properties or incur additional liabilities and expenses as a result of the default of these third party operators. - During periods of increased activity within the oil and gas sector, the cost of goods and services may increase and it may be more difficult to hire and retain professional staff. -
C
hanging interest rates influence borrowing costs and the availability of capital. -
F
ailing a financial covenant may result in one or more of Pengrowth's loans being in default. In certain circumstances, being in default of one loan will result in other loans to also be in default. - Investors' interest in the oil and gas sector may change over time which would affect the availability of capital and the value of Pengrowth trust units. - Inflation may result in escalating costs, which could impact unitholder distributions and the value of Pengrowth trust units. -
C
anadian / U.
S
. exchange rates influence revenues and, to a lesser extent, operating and capital costs. Pengrowth is also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on the U.
S
. dollar denominated notes for both interest and principal payments. -
T
he value of Pengrowth trust units is impacted directly by the related tax treatment of the trust units and the trust unit distributions, and indirectly by the tax treatment of alternative equity investments.
C
hanges in
C
anadian or U.
S
. tax legislation could adversely affect the value of our trust units.
A
s 2011 approaches, the expectation of taxability of distributions may negatively impact the value of trust units. -
A
ttacks by individuals against facilities and the threat of such attacks may have an adverse impact on Pengrowth and the implementation of security measures as a precaution against possible attacks would result in increased cost to Pengrowth's business. -
S
ubstantial and sustained reductions in commodity prices or equity markets, including Pengrowth's unit price, in some circumstances could result in Pengrowth reducing the recorded book value of some of its assets. - Delays in business operations could adversely affect Pengrowth's distributions to unitholders and the market price of the trust units.

his deterioration could negatively affect Pengrowth as continued uncertainty in the credit markets may restrict the availability and/or increase the cost of borrowing required for future development and acquisitions.
T
he dramatic decreases in commodity prices since highs reached in the summer of 2008 negatively impacts operating cash flow and future borrowing capacity.
T
his uncertainty may also impair Pengrowth's normal business counterparties to meet their obligations to Pengrowth.
A
dditional credit risk could exist where little or none previously existed. Pengrowth's guidance on the capital expenditure program for 2009 is focused on reducing risk and repositioning the
T
rust to adjust to current market conditions. Pengrowth continues to maintain a strong mix of both conventional and non-conventional assets and a solid overall financial structure. Management and the Board of Directors will continue to evaluate both capital expenditures and distribution levels within the context of economic and commodity price outlooks. International

S
tandards (I
F
R
S
) On
F
ebruary 13, 2008, the
C
anadian
A
ccounting
S
tandards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt International
F
inancial Reporting
S
tandards ("I
F
R
S
") in place of
C
anadian
GAA
P for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
A
t this time, the impact on Pengrowth's future financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or estimable. Pengrowth commenced its I
F
R
S
conversion project in 2008 and has established a formal governance structure.
T
his structure includes a full time I
F
R
S
Project
C
oordinator, a steering committee consisting of senior members of the finance team on an ongoing basis and also includes information technology, treasury and operations personnel. Pengrowth has also engaged an external expert advisory firm. Regular I
F
R
S
project reporting is provided to senior management and to the
A
udit
C
ommittee of the Board of Directors. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, accounting policy analysis has been documented and presented to the board for business combinations, in addition to the previously completed documentation for the three most critical issues - accounting for exploration and development activities including classification of exploration and evaluation expenditures, depletion and impairment of capital assets. In addition, regular updates on the I
F
R
S
project are presented to the
A
udit
C
ommittee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. Pengrowth's project consists of four phases: diagnostic; design and planning; solution development; and implementation. Pengrowth completed the diagnostic phase in 2008, which involved a high level review of the major differences between
C
anadian
GAA
P and I
F
R
S
, and identification of potential information systems and process changes. Pengrowth has begun detailed analysis of the next most significant issues - asset retirement obligations, stock based compensation, financial instruments and initial adoption of I
F
R
S
.
T
he impact on disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting will also be determined. Pengrowth is currently engaged in the design and planning and solution development phases of our project, working with issue-specific teams to focus on generating options and making recommendations in the identified areas. Pengrowth's I
F
R
S
team has determined accounting policies for property, plant and equipment and business combinations under I
F
R
S
.
T
hese I
F
R
S
accounting policies require calculation of depletion and testing for possible impairment of assets at a more detailed level than under current accounting policies and Pengrowth is currently planning information technology solutions to address these new calculations. Business combinations would require different valuation of share based consideration paid and require all transaction costs to be expensed as incurred, increasing general and administrative costs in the periods where acquisitions occur. We are also currently planning solutions to allow Pengrowth to account for transactions in
C
anadian
GAA
P and I
F
R
S
financial statements in 2010. During the design and planning phase, Pengrowth has initiated training for key personnel.
T
he I
F
R
S
steering committee has presented the I
F
R
S
property, plant and equipment accounting policy choices to key finance, investor relations and information technology personnel.
F
uture training for key operational personnel and senior management are in the planning phase. On July 23, 2009, the International
A
ccounting
S
tandards Board issued an amendment to I
F
R
S
1 in respect of property plant and equipment as at the date of initial transition to I
F
R
S
.
T
his amendment permits issuers currently using the full cost method of accounting to allocate the balance of property plant and equipment (as determined under
C
anadian
GAA
P) to the I
F
R
S
categories of exploration and evaluation assets and development and producing properties without significant adjustment arising from the retroactive adoption of I
F
R
S
. Pengrowth currently intends to use the exemption provided therein.
T
he
C
anadian
A
ssociation of Petroleum Producers (
CA
PP) has released a guidance document in March 2009 to assist upstream oil and gas producers with I
F
R
S
implementation. Members of Pengrowth's I
F
R
SS
teering
C
ommittee have been involved in the development of this guidance since its inception. Pengrowth's I
F
R
S
Project
C
oordinator was one of the presenters in the roll-out of the
CA
PP guidance and has been named chairman of
CA
PP's accounting policy committee. Pengrowth continues to monitor the I
F
R
S
adoption efforts of many of its peers and will participate in any related processes, as appropriate. Pengrowth is currently involved in an I
F
R
S
working group comprised of intermediate to large oil and gas producers and an I
F
R
S
and
F
inancial Reporting group consisting of our peer income trusts. Recent
A
ccounting Pronouncements New
C
anadian accounting standards related to business combinations have been issued which will require changes to the way business combinations are accounted.
T
he new standards broaden the scope of business combinations and require transaction costs to be expensed as incurred as well as require valuing all assets and liabilities and measuring consideration paid at the closing date.
T
he new
C
anadian standards are required for all business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2011 although early adoption is allowed. Pengrowth has not yet determined the impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Pengrowth has not determined if it will adopt this standard earlier than the required date. New
C
anadian accounting recommendations related to goodwill and intangible assets were adopted on January 1, 2009.

t the end of the interim period ended June 30, 2009, Pengrowth did not have any material weakness relating to design of its internal control over financial reporting. Pengrowth has not limited the scope of its design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures of (i) a proportionately consolidated entity in which Pengrowth has an interest; (ii) a variable interest entity in which Pengrowth has an interest; or (iii) a business that Pengrowth acquired not more than 365 days before June 30, 2009, and summary financial information about these items has been proportionately consolidated or consolidated in Pengrowth's financial statements. During the interim period ended June 30, 2009, no change occurred to Pengrowth's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Pengrowth's internal control over financial reporting.

(
A
ll volumes and amounts stated below are net to Pengrowth unless otherwise stated) In the second quarter of 2009, Pengrowth's daily production averaged 82,171 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day.
T
his was a two percent increase from the first quarter mainly due to prior period adjustments (from prior year acquisitions), reduced solvent injection at Judy
C
reek, two minor acquisitions in the first quarter and current results from our develop program. Pengrowth's full year production guidance has increased to 78,000 to 79,500 boe per day excluding any future acquisitions and dispositions. Development capital expenditures totaled $40 million, with approximately 63 percent spent on drilling, completions and facilities. Included in the development capital expenditures are land acquisition costs of $0.6 million. In addition to the Development
C
apital, $3.3 million was spent at Lindbergh. Pengrowth participated in the drilling of 10 gross and 5.4 net wells in the quarter, all of which were cased for production. During the quarter, Pengrowth added to its undeveloped land position through the acquisition of 5,560 net acres at
C
rown land sales in
A
lberta. Pengrowth assesses our asset portfolio by aggregating production from properties into the following categories: light oil; heavy oil; conventional gas; shallow gas and coalbed methane; offshore gas; and oil sands. Because all the production from the properties are aggregated into one of these groups, as opposed to the actual commodities, the production by commodity reported elsewhere will be different than those reported below. Light Oil: Pengrowth's asset base includes interests in a number of large original-oil-in-place reservoirs in the Western
C
anadian
S
edimentary Basin (W
CS
B).
T
hese properties mainly produce light, sweet oil and are candidates for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. Major light oil properties in our portfolio include Judy
C
reek, Weyburn,
S
wan Hills,
C
arson
C
reek North and
F
enn Big Valley. Production from the light oil properties averaged 26,554 boe per day including natural gas and natural gas liquids.
A
pproval for a water injection scheme was received for a key well in the
G
oose River
S
wan Hills Unit. Injection began on June 1, 2009. In
T
hree Hills
C
reek a well was recompleted as a Viking oil well, adding an initial incremental 60 boe per day.
T
he well is being monitored and may result in additional drilling opportunities.
A
t Judy
C
reek,
C
O2 injection was completed in the second quarter and pattern response monitoring will continue through 2010.
A
t House Mountain Unit No. 1 two horizontal wells (0.25 net) drilled in the first quarter, were put on production in
A
pril 2009 at a cumulative initial production rate of approximately 73 boe per day. Pengrowth participated in the drilling of four partner-operated (0.96 net) new wells in
S
wan Hills Unit No. 1.
T
hree (0.72 net) of these wells will be on stream in the third quarter of 2009.
T
hey are expected to produce a combined of 47 boe per day. Heavy Oil: Pengrowth's heavy oil properties consist mainly of operated primary and secondary recovery fields in southeastern
A
lberta and southwestern
S
askatchewan plus a non-operated EOR steam assisted gravity drainage (
SAG
D) operation. Major properties include Jenner, Bodo,
C
actus and
T
angleflags. Production from the heavy oil properties averaged 9,778 boe per day during the first quarter. In the second quarter, Pengrowth tied-in a horizontal producer at East Bodo that was drilled in the first quarter, adding approximately 100 boe per day.
T
his well's performance has been enhanced due to the polymer flood in the area.
A
dditional production of approximately 125 boe per day was added through waterflood optimization at East Bodo.
A
t Jenner, a gas recompletion was brought on production at an initial rate of 700 mcf per day (117 boe per day) to coincide with the new royalty incentives. Pengrowth also successfully conducted one oil well recompletion adding 30 boe per day.
C
onventional
G
as:
C
onventional gas provides a stable source of base production for Pengrowth. Major properties include Olds,
C
arson
C
reek
G
as Unit, Harmattan, Dunvegan, Quirk
C
reek and
K
aybob. Production during the quarter from the conventional gas properties averaged 25,759 boe per day including liquids.
T
he first horizontal well drilled for
S
wan Hills gas in the
C
arson
C
reek
G
as Unit was tied in during the second quarter. Pengrowth has a 95 percent working interest in this unit.
T
his well was put on production in
A
pril 2009.
A
three month average initial rate of 570 boe per day (gas and condensate) has been obtained from this well. Phase one of the follow-up multi-well drilling program was initiated in the second quarter with the "batch drilling" of one vertical and two horizontal wells from one pad.
T
he first vertical pilot hole was cored, and logged in June 2009.
T
he build sections for the first two horizontal wells have been drilled and cased.
T
he two horizontal legs will be drilled back to back starting in July 2009.
A
t Olds, one (0.5 net) new drill in the Harmattan area was brought on stream in
A
pril, adding initial production of approximately 35 boe per day.
T
his well was drilled in a property acquired in late 2008.
A
n Olds unit Wabamun new drill was spud in the quarter and, pending success, will be completed in the third quarter. Pengrowth participated in one (0.5 net) Dunvegan gas well in the Puskwa area in the first quarter of 2008.
T
his well was put on production in
A
pril at a rate of 355 mcf per day (60 boe per day).
A
partner-operated well (0.5 net) was drilled in the Lanfine area of
S
outhern
A
lberta and tested at approximately 900 mcf per day (150 boe per day).
T
he well is expected to be on production early in the third quarter. In the McLeod area, Pengrowth operated two Wilrich re-completions. Both wells were put on production in early
A
pril 2009 at a cumulative rate of 200 mcf per day (33 boe per day).
A
lthough these are low rate wells, the re-completions have proven potential for Wilrich gas production in the McLeod area. In
A
pril, Pengrowth received approval for waterflooding in the
S
toddart North Pine
G
Pool. Pengrowth subsequently drilled a successful Dunvegan water source well and expects the water flood scheme to be fully implemented in the third quarter.
A
t Pine
C
reek one (0.5 net) non-operated gas well was pooled for gas production and came on stream in mid
A
pril.
T
he well came on stream at 63 mcf per day (10 boe per day) at no capital cost to Pengrowth.
S
hallow
G
as and
C
oalbed Methane (
C
BM):
S
hallow gas has been a significant part of Pengrowth's portfolio for some time and
C
BM production has been an important addition to this strategic focus.
S
hallow gas is an attractive resource as it is generally low-risk, low decline with relatively low capital requirements.
C
BM has similar risk and capital characteristics to conventional shallow gas and provides Pengrowth with a new, unconventional source of gas as conventional shallow gas production in the W
CS
B declines. Principle shallow gas and
C
BM properties include
T
hree Hills/
T
wining, Monogram,
T
illey, Jenner and Lethbridge. Production from the shallow gas and
C
BM properties averaged 14,261 boe per day including liquids during the second quarter. In response to commodity prices, focus continues on recompletions. In the Jenner,
F
enn Big Valley and
T
wining areas six recompletions resulted in approximately 180 boe per day being brought onstream in the quarter, the bulk starting
A
pril 1 to coincide with the new royalty incentives.
A
t Monogram 79 of the 80 (43 net) first quarter gas wells were on production at the end of the quarter adding approximately 2,309 mcf per day (385 boe per day) of production.
A
t
T
illey, four gas wells (0.39 net) were drilled and cased in the first quarter and two of these wells were placed on production in the second quarter.
A
100 percent working interest Horseshoe
C
anyon/Belly River well was drilled and cased in the
T
hree Hills
C
reek area. Pengrowth brought on its fourth Mannville
C
BM well in the
F
enn Big Valley area to coincide with the new royalty incentives.
T

Pengrowth defines its capital as trust unitholders' equity, long term debt, bank indebtedness, convertible debentures and working capital. Pengrowth's goal over longer periods of time is to maximize returns to the unitholders through cash distributions on a per trust unit basis and enhancing the value of the trust units. Pengrowth's aim is to maintain sufficient financial flexibility in its capital structure to allow it to finance its capital expenditures to replace produced reserves through operating cash flows and within Pengrowth's debt capacity while maintaining distributions at a level that provides a reasonable return to unitholders. Pengrowth seeks to retain sufficient flexibility with its capital to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise. Pengrowth must comply with certain financial debt covenants.
C
ompliance with these financial covenants is closely monitored by management as part of Pengrowth's overall capital management objectives.
T
he covenants are based on specific definitions prescribed in the debt agreements and are different between the credit facility and the term notes.
T
hroughout the period, Pengrowth was in compliance with all financial covenants. Pengrowth's ability to issue trust units and convertible debt is subject to external restrictions as a result of the

In order to maintain its financial condition or adjust its capital structure, Pengrowth may issue new debt, refinance existing debt, issue additional equity, adjust the level of distributions paid to unitholders, adjust the level of capital spending or dispose of non-core assets to reduce debt levels.
