I-1


This short form prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities. No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

The Underwriters have agreed not to offer, sell or deliver the Subscription Receipts offered hereunder, as part of the distribution of such Subscription Receipts at any time, within the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, U.S. persons. Accordingly, this short form prospectus is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Subscription Receipts (or the Trust Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts) within the United States nor is it an offer to sell to, or the solicitation of an offer to buy from, any U.S. persons any of these Subscription Receipts (or the Trust Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts). See "Plan of Distribution".

SHORT FORM PROSPECTUS

New Issue   November 30, 2005

LOGO

$250,000,000

12,500,000 Subscription Receipts,
each representing the right to receive one trust unit

Petrofund Energy Trust (the "Trust") is hereby qualifying for distribution 12,500,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts"), at a price of $20.00 each and each of which will entitle the holder thereof to receive, without payment of additional consideration, one trust unit ("Unit" or "Trust Unit") of the Trust upon closing of the acquisition (the "Acquisition") by the Trust of all of the outstanding shares of Kaiser Energy Ltd. from the Vendor (as defined herein) described in more detail under "Recent Developments — The Acquisition". The proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts (the "Escrowed Funds") will be held by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), and invested in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada (and other approved investments) pending completion of the Acquisition. Upon the Acquisition being completed on or before January 31, 2006, the Escrowed Funds and the interest thereon will be released to the Trust and the Units will be issued to the holders of Subscription Receipts. The Trust will utilize the Escrowed Funds to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition.

If the closing of the Acquisition does not take place by: (i) 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on January 31, 2006; (ii) the date upon which the Trust delivers to the Underwriters (as defined herein) a notice that the Acquisition has been terminated or that the Trust does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition; or (iii) the date that the Trust announces to the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition (in any case, the "Termination Time"), holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the full subscription price therefor and their pro rata entitlements to interest on such amount. The Escrowed Funds will be applied towards payment of such amount.

If the closing of the Acquisition takes place prior to the Termination Time and holders of Subscription Receipts become entitled to receive Units, such holders will be entitled to receive an amount per Subscription Receipt equal to the amount per Unit of any cash distributions for which record dates have occurred during the period from the date of closing of the offering to the date immediately preceding the date the Units are issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts. Accordingly, if the offering closes on December 6, 2005 and the Acquisition closes on December 15, 2005 as currently contemplated, holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive on December 30, 2005 an amount equal to the monthly distribution expected to be paid on December 30, 2005 to Unitholders of record on December 14, 2005. See "Details of the Offerings".

The issued and outstanding Units are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"). On November 15, 2005, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the offering, the closing price of the Units was $20.57 on the TSX and U.S. $17.41 on AMEX. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Subscription Receipts and the Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts on the TSX. Listing is subject to the Trust fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before February 16, 2006. The Trust has applied to list the Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts on AMEX. Listing will be subject to the Trust fulfilling all of the listing requirements of AMEX. There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts purchased under this short form prospectus. The offering price of the Subscription Receipts was determined by negotiation between Petrofund Corp. ("PC") on behalf of the Trust, and CIBC World Markets Inc., on its own behalf and on behalf of National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., TD Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Canaccord Capital Corporation, FirstEnergy Capital Corp., GMP Securities Ltd., Raymond James Ltd., Blackmont Capital Inc., Sprott Securities Inc. and Tristone Capital Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters").

We are permitted to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and they are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Owning the Subscription Receipts and the Trust Units may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. This prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we are incorporated in Alberta, Canada, most of our officers and directors and all of the experts named in this prospectus are Canadian residents, and substantially all of our assets and the assets of those officers, directors and experts are located outside of the United States.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Total   $ 250,000,000   $ 12,500,000   $ 237,500,000

Notes:

(1)
The Underwriters' fee with respect to the Subscription Receipts is payable as to 50% upon the closing of the offering and 50% on the release of the Escrowed Funds to the Trust. If the Acquisition is not completed, the Underwriters' fee with respect to the Subscription Receipts will be reduced to the amount payable upon closing of the offering.

(2)
Excluding interest, if any, on the Escrowed Funds and before deducting expenses of the offering estimated to be $700,000, which will be paid from the general funds of the Trust.

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Subscription Receipts, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Trust and delivered and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under "Plan of Distribution" and subject to approval of certain legal matters relating to the offering on behalf of the Trust by Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. See "Plan of Distribution".

CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., five of the Underwriters, are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Canadian chartered banks which are lenders to the Trust's subsidiary, PC, and to which PC is indebted. Consequently, the Trust may be considered to be a connected issuer of these Underwriters for the purposes of securities regulations in certain provinces. The net proceeds of this offering, together with borrowings under the credit facilities of PC, will be used to pay for the purchase price of the Acquisition. In addition, Scotia Capital Inc. (together with its affiliate, Scotia Waterous Inc.) was retained by the Trust in connection with the Acquisition and will receive a fee from the Trust on completion of the Acquisition. CIBC World Markets Inc. was retained by the Vendor in connection with the Acquisition and will receive a fee from the Vendor on completion of the Acquisition. See "Relationship Between PC's Lenders and the Underwriters".

Subscriptions for Subscription Receipts will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that closing will occur on or about December 6, 2005 or such other date not later than December 14, 2005 as the Trust and the Underwriters may agree. The Subscription Receipts will be represented by a global certificate issued in registered form to the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") or its nominee under the book-based system administered by CDS. No certificates evidencing the Subscription Receipts will be issued to subscribers for Subscription Receipts, except in certain limited circumstances, and registration will be made in the depositary service of CDS. Subscribers for Subscription Receipts will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriter or other registered dealer who is a CDS participant and from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Subscription Receipts is purchased. Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the offering, effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts or the Units at levels other than those that might otherwise prevail on the open market. See "Plan of Distribution".

A return of an investor's investment in Trust Units is not comparable to the return on an investment in a fixed-income security. The recovery of an investor's initial investment is at risk and the anticipated return on an investor's investment is based on many performance assumptions. Cash distributions are not guaranteed. Although the Trust intends to make distributions of its available cash to holders of Trust Units ("Unitholders"), these cash distributions may be reduced or suspended. The actual amount distributed will depend on numerous factors, including profitability, debt covenants and obligations, fluctuations in working capital, the timing and amount of capital expenditures, applicable law and other factors beyond the control of the Trust. In addition, the market value of the Trust Units may decline if the Trust is unable to meet its cash distribution targets in the future and any such decline may be significant. See "Record of Cash Distributions" and "Risk Factors".

It is important for an investor to consider the particular risk factors that may affect the industry in which it is investing and, therefore, the stability of the distributions that Unitholders receive. See, for example the risk factors, under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and in the Trust's Renewal Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The after-tax return from an investment in Trust Units to Unitholders subject to Canadian income tax can be made up of both a return on capital and a return of capital. The composition may change over time thus affecting an investor's after-tax return. Returns on capital are generally taxed as ordinary income or as dividends in the hands of a Unitholder. Returns of capital are generally tax-deferred (and reduce the Unitholder's cost base in the Trust Unit for tax purposes).

Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ("DBRS") has assigned a stability rating of STA-5 (low) to the Trust Units. Income funds rated as STA-5 are considered by DBRS to have a weak level of stability and sustainability of distributions per unit. STA-1 is the highest DBRS rating available to units of income funds and STA-7 is the lowest DBRS rating available to units of income funds. See "Stability Rating".

The Subscription Receipts and the Units are not "deposits" within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) and are not insured under the provisions of that Act or any other legislation. Furthermore, the Trust is not a trust company and, accordingly, it is not registered under any trust and loan company legislation as it does not carry on or intend to carry on the business of a trust company.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER DISCLOSURE

Forward-Looking Statements

        Certain statements contained in this short form prospectus, and in certain documents incorporated by reference into this short form prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "project", "should", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Trust and PC believe the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference into, this short form prospectus should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this short form prospectus or as of the date specified in the documents incorporated by reference into this short form prospectus, as the case may be.

        In particular, this short form prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference, contain forward-looking statements pertaining to the following:

        The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this short form prospectus:

        These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Except as required by applicable securities laws, neither the Trust nor PC undertakes any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Certain Financial Reporting Measures

        The Trust uses cash flow (before changes in non-cash working capital) to analyze operating performance and leverage. Cash flow (before changes in non-cash working capital) and cash flow from operations before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations as presented does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Cash flow (before changes in non-cash working capital) and cash flow from operations before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations as presented is not intended to represent operating cash flows or operating profits for the period, nor should it be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net earnings or other

1



measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with Canadian GAAP. All references to cash flow (before changes in non-cash working capital) and cash flow from operations before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations are based on cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital or before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations, as applicable.

        The Trust also uses "net debt". Net debt as presented does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Net debt as used by the Trust is calculated as bank debt and any working capital deficit excluding the current portion of derivative contracts.

        The Trust uses certain key performance indicators and industry benchmarks such as operating netbacks ("netbacks"), finding, development and acquisition costs ("FD&A"), and total capitalization to analyze financial and operating performance. These performance indicators and benchmarks as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities.

        When the measures noted above are used, they have been footnoted and the footnote to the applicable measure notes that the measure is "non-GAAP" and contains a description of how to reconcile the measure to the applicable financial statements. These measures should be given careful consideration by the reader.

PETROFUND ENERGY TRUST

General

        The Trust is an open-ended investment trust created under the laws of the Province of Ontario on December 18, 1988 under the name "NCE Petrofund I". Active operations commenced March 3, 1989. On July 4, 1996, the name of the Trust was changed to "NCE Petrofund" and on November 1, 2003 the name was changed to its present name of "Petrofund Energy Trust". Effective September 7, 2001, the Trustee became the trustee of the Trust. The Trust is currently governed by the Trust Indenture. The executive office, head office and operations of the Trust are located at Suite 600, 444 - 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0X8.

        The Trust's primary source of income is from 99% net royalty interests granted by PC pursuant to the PC Royalty Agreement and by PVT pursuant to the PVT Royalty Agreement. The Trust may also purchase directly or indirectly securities of oil and gas companies, oil and gas properties and other related assets.

        PC, formerly named NCE Petrofund Corp., was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 17, 1988. PC acquires and manages producing oil and gas properties in western Canada. Pursuant to the PC Royalty Agreement, the Trust receives a 99% net royalty interest in the oil and gas properties of PC. All of the issued and outstanding voting shares of PC are held by the Trust. The capital structure of PC also includes PC Exchangeable Shares. As at September 30, 2005 there were 402,618 PC Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding, which were issued in connection with the Internalization Transaction. As at September 30, 2005, the PC Exchangeable Shares were exchangeable into 539,147 Trust Units based on a ratio which is adjusted on each date that the Trust pays a distribution to its Unitholders. The PC Exchangeable Shares are not listed securities on any stock exchange. See "Capital Structure of PC" in the AIF for a description of the attributes of the PC Exchangeable Shares.

        PVT is a trust created under the laws of the Province of Alberta on August 31, 1997. Following completion of the Ultima Merger, the sole beneficiary of PVT is the Trust. PVT was established for the purpose of, and its business is restricted to, purchasing, holding, operating and divesting petroleum, natural gas and related hydrocarbons and related facility interests including the development of petroleum and natural gas, the transportation, processing, marketing and sale thereafter and all business operations incidental or in anyway related to the foregoing. PC is presently the trustee of PVT. Pursuant to the PVT Royalty Agreement, the Trust receives a 99% net royalty interest in the oil and gas properties of PVT.

        Each Trust Unit represents an equal undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust. Historically, the Trust's activities have been focused on the acquisition of net royalties from PC and, more recently, from PVT. For each property for which a net royalty is granted by PC or PVT, the Trust receives 99% of the revenue generated by the property net of operating costs, debt service charges, general and administrative costs and certain other taxes and charges. The Trust distributes to its Unitholders a majority of its cash flow in the form of monthly distributions, part of which is on a tax-advantaged basis. Cash flow includes royalty income and may include cash flow generated by properties and interests not currently subject to the Trust's net royalty interests.

General Development of the Business

        The Trust was initially formed as a closed-end royalty trust for the purposes of acquiring royalty interests from PC. Effective February 2, 1999, the Trust was converted to an open-ended investment trust. On that date, the Trust Indenture, PC Royalty Agreement and related agreements were amended to: (i) permit the Trust and PC to acquire, directly or indirectly, interests in resource issuers and/or resource properties and other related assets; (ii) remove certain financing restrictions applicable to the Trust and PC to permit the Trust and PC, subject to certain limitations, to raise or issue capital in connection with, or to finance, such acquisitions, either through the issuance of Trust Units or other equity or debt securities of the Trust or PC or through borrowing;

7



and (iii) provide that Unitholders have the right to cause the Trust to redeem their Trust Units in certain circumstances.

        Effective November 1, 2000, the Trust acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PC from a subsidiary of the Previous Manager for nominal consideration, resulting in PC becoming a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Trust. This change simplified the structure of the Trust and related entities and allows the Trust to present consolidated financial statements which fully reflect the assets and liabilities of the Trust and PC.

        In conjunction with PC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, the corporate governance of the Trust was changed so that the stewardship of the Trust and PC was undertaken by the Board of Directors of PC.

        On March 10, 2003, the Trust entered into an agreement to internalize its management structure such that the Previous Manager, the then manager of the Trust, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PC. Unitholder and regulatory approval of the Internalization Transaction was received at the annual and special meeting of Unitholders held on April 16, 2003. As a result of the Internalization Transaction, all management, acquisition and disposition fees payable to the Previous Manager were eliminated effective January 1, 2003. The cost of the Internalization Transaction was $30.9 million, including $2.5 million of transaction costs. The purchase price for the shares of the Previous Manager was satisfied by the issuance of 1,939,147 PC Exchangeable Shares plus a cash amount per PC Exchangeable Share equal to the distributions paid or payable per Trust Unit by the Trust to Unitholders of record from and after January 1, 2003 up to and including the closing date. In addition, at closing, PC paid $3.4 million in cash to fund the repayment of a debt owing by the Previous Manager and, in addition, certain senior executives of the Previous Manager were paid $780,000 in cash and issued 100,244 Trust Units plus an amount per Trust Unit equal to the distributions per Trust Unit paid to Unitholders of record of Trust Units during the period commencing on January 1, 2003 and ending on the closing date.

        Management of the Trust is presently carried out by directors, officers and other employees of PC.

        On June 16, 2004, pursuant to the Ultima Combination Agreement, the Trust completed the acquisition of Ultima, a royalty trust listed on the TSX. Pursuant to the Ultima Merger, the Trust acquired all of the assets of Ultima (which included the PVT Royalty Agreement, a 99% royalty payable by Ultima Energy Inc. to Ultima, all of the outstanding units of Ultima Ventures Trust and all of the shares of Ultima's corporate subsidiaries) and assumed all of the liabilities of Ultima and former Ultima Unitholders became holders of Trust Units on the basis of 0.442 of a Trust Unit for each issued and outstanding Ultima Unit. The total price of the transaction was $563.1 million comprised of 26.4 million Trust Units with an assigned value of $452.8 million, the assumption of $104.4 million of debt and net working capital, and transaction costs of $1.9 million. The properties of Ultima included properties located in the Weyburn, Spirit River, Cherhill, Kerrobert and Westerose areas. Over 50% of the production was operated by Ultima and such production is now operated by PC. Approximately 50% of Ultima's production and reserves were common with or adjacent to PC's properties.

        Immediately following the completion of the Ultima Merger on June 16, 2004, PC acquired from the Trust all of the shares of Ultima Energy Inc. Ultima Energy Inc. was then amalgamated with PC and the amalgamated company continued under the name "Petrofund Corp".

        On June 30, 2004 PC acquired from the Trust all of the shares of Ultima Corp., Ultima Acquisitions Corp. and Ultima Management Inc. and all of such companies were wound up into PC and have since been dissolved. Also on June 30, 2004, PC became the trustee of Ultima Ventures Trust and Ultima Ventures Trust's name was changed to "Petrofund Ventures Trust".

        At a special meeting of Unitholders held on November 16, 2004, Unitholders approved a reclassification of the trust unit capital of the Trust (the "Reclassification") into two new classes of Trust Units: Class R units and Class N units. The principal distinctions of the Class R units and the Class N units as compared to the existing Trust Units relate to who would be entitled to hold and to trade in the respective classes on the basis of residency in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act. The purpose of the Reclassification was to change the structure and procedures that regulate non-resident ownership of trust units of the Trust to ensure that the Trust continued to qualify as a mutual fund trust under the Tax Act. On December 6, 2004, the Minister of Finance for the Government of Canada announced that the previously announced proposed amendments to the Tax Act that were introduced in the March, 2004 Canadian federal budget relating to non-resident ownership of mutual fund trusts would be suspended and further public consultation undertaken prior to implementation of any amendment to the Tax Act in this regard. As a result of such announcement by the Minister of Finance, the Trust

8



determined not to implement the Reclassification. See "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — The Trust — Status of the Trust".

        In accordance with the approval of Unitholders which was obtained at the Special Meeting of Unitholders held on November 16, 2004, a number of amendments were made to the Trust Indenture as well as the PC Royalty Agreement, all effective November 16, 2004. Such amendments consisted of: (a) deleting the acquisition criteria which are contained in the PC Royalty Agreement which must be adhered to in respect of direct acquisitions of oil and gas properties; (b) amending the Trust Indenture to remove the present requirement that amendments to the PC Royalty Agreement (and any other royalty agreements) be approved by Unitholders and to add to the powers delegated to PC in the Trust Indenture the responsibility and authority for approving the entering into and the amendment of the provisions of royalty agreements; (c) expanding the definition of "Exchangeable Shares" which is contained in the Trust Indenture to include, in addition to shares in the capital of PC or an affiliate which are by their terms exchangeable into Trust Units, interests in a partnership in which PC or an affiliate of PC is the managing partner or interests in a limited partnership in which PC or an affiliate of PC is the general partner which are, by their terms, exchangeable into one or more classes of Trust Units; (d) amending certain of the provisions contained within Article 5 of the Trust Indenture, which article provides Unitholders with the right to require the Trustee to retract, at any time or from time to time, at the demand of the Unitholder all or any part of the Trust Units registered in the name of the Unitholder at the price determined, and payable, in accordance with the Trust Indenture; and (e) amending the Trust Indenture to provide that the Trustee will mail to each Unitholder within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, the audited financial statements of the Trust for such year, together with a report of the auditor thereon and for the Trustee to mail to each Unitholder within 45 days after the end of each quarter unaudited financial statements of the Trust for such quarter. In addition, effective November 16, 2004 each of the PC Royalty Agreement and the Ultima Royalty Agreement were amended by terminating such agreements and replacing them with one agreement, that being the PC Royalty Agreement.

        The following chart shows the structure of the Trust and its material subsidiaries at the date hereof:

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Recent Acquisitions

        To date in 2005, the Trust has completed four minor acquisitions, all adjacent to existing operations of the Trust, primarily in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. The total purchase price for the acquisitions was $73.8 million, subject to adjustments. These acquisitions are expected to add approximately 1,650 boepd of production to the Trust. Based on the Trust's internal estimates, the properties acquired have been assigned proved plus probable reserves of 4.6 million boe.

Potential Acquisitions

        The Trust continues to evaluate potential acquisitions of all types of petroleum and natural gas and other energy-related assets as part of its ongoing acquisition program. The Trust is normally in the process of evaluating several potential acquisitions at any one time which individually or together could be material. As of the date hereof, the Trust has not reached agreement on the price or terms of any potential material acquisitions. The Trust cannot predict whether any current or future opportunities will result in one or more acquisitions for the Trust.

The Acquisition

        On November 16, 2005, PC entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Vendor providing for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of KEL for the purchase price of approximately $485 million in cash, subject to interim period adjustments. The Acquisition will have an effective date of December 1, 2005 and is expected to close on December 15, 2005. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PC paid a deposit of $48.5 million to the Vendor, which amount will be credited to the purchase price in the event that the Acquisition is completed and will be retained by the Vendor if the Acquisition is not completed under certain circumstances, including breach by PC of its representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and failure by PC to perform its covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement. See "Risk Factors — Possible Failure to Complete the Acquisition".

        KEL holds (or will hold prior to the completion of the Acquisition), either directly or indirectly, interests in the New Properties, which consist primarily of natural gas assets located in Alberta, and which had average gross production for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of approximately 5,800 boe/d. The New Properties also include undeveloped lands located in Alberta. See "Information Concerning the New Properties".

        Conditions to closing of the Acquisition include standard conditions for transactions of this nature including the following: the continued accuracy of representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement (provided PC's losses caused by any breaches of representations and warranties of the Vendor must exceed $5 million in aggregate for PC not to close for reason of such breaches); the performance of covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement; the delivery of closing documents; title due diligence satisfactory to PC; and receipt of regulatory approvals. If PC fails to complete the Acquisition as a result of the breach by the Vendor of its representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement, PC is entitled to recover from the Vendor its costs and expenses resulting from such breach up to a maximum of $10 million.

        In connection with the Acquisition, the Vendor has agreed to indemnify PC in respect of tax liabilities that relate to the period prior to the date that the Acquisition is completed (provided that such liabilities exceed $5 million) and liabilities relating to breaches of representations and warranties of Vendor contained in the Purchase Agreement (provided that individual breaches exceed $200,000 and provided that all of such breaches exceed $5 million). PC has also agreed to indemnify the Vendor in respect of all past, present and future environmental liabilities relating to the New Properties.

        Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement a number of reorganization transactions will be completed prior to the completion of the Acquisitions, which transactions will result in, among other things: (1) KEL acquiring, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, all of the interests in the Limited Partnership; (2) KEL acquiring all of the Unincorporated Assets; and (3) KEL disposing of certain oil and natural gas assets which are presently held by it (the "Excluded Assets"). The financial statements for KEL which are included in this short form prospectus include the Excluded Assets and the results from the operation of such assets. Average gross production from

10



the Excluded Assets for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was approximately 450 boe/d. The New Properties do not include the Excluded Assets and were not evaluated by GLJ or included in the GLJ Report.

Principal Producing Properties

        The following is a description of the principal properties comprising the New Properties on production or under development as at September 30, 2005. The term "gross", when used to describe the share of production of the New Properties, means the aggregate of the Vendor's working interest share to be acquired by the Trust before deduction of royalties owned by others. Reserve amounts are stated, before deduction of royalties, at July 1, 2005, based on forecast cost and price assumptions as evaluated in the GLJ Report. See "Information

11



Concerning the New Properties — Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the New Properties". The following information in respect of gross and net acres of land is as at September 30, 2005 and information in respect of production is gross for the New Properties and is as at June 30, 2005 except where otherwise indicated. The reserves set forth in the principal property description and the table below are as presented in the GLJ Report. Such additional reserves are set forth on a consolidated basis in the oil and natural gas reserve tables set forth under the heading "Information Concerning the New Properties — Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the New Properties". The estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level of estimates of reserves for all properties due to the effect of aggregation. All of the New Properties' proved producing reserves were on production on June 30, 2005.

Berland River

        The Berland River area is located approximately 130 kilometres south east of Grande Prairie, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 70% working interest in approximately 23,000 gross acres (approximately 16,200 net acres) of land in this area of which approximately 5,000 net acres are undeveloped. This area has multi-zone potential from the Bluesky, Gething, Cadomin, Falher, Viking and Dunvegan formations. Twenty new drilling locations have been identified on these lands to target multiple pay potential. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 8.4 mmcf/d of natural gas, 68 bbls/d of crude oil and 83 bbls/d of NGLs which totals to over 25% of the New Properties' production for such period. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 17.6 bcf of natural gas, 310 mbbls of NGLs and 31 mbbls of light and medium oil. In addition, probable reserves of 6.2 bcf of natural gas, 99 mbbls of NGLs and 22 mbbls of light and medium oil have been assigned.

Strachan

        The Strachan area is located approximately 120 kilometres west of Red Deer, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 58% interest in approximately 22,700 gross acres (approximately 13,100 net acres) of land in this area including approximately 5,500 net undeveloped acres. The producing formations in this area range from the deep, sour Devonian Leduc and Nisku reefs through the sweet Cretaceous Ellerslie, Ostracod, Glauconitic, Viking and Cardium. One well is planned on this property before year end targeting the Glauconitic zone, and up to ten locations have been identified to drill for multiple pay potential in 2006 and future years. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 4.5 mmcf/d of natural gas, 111 bbls/d of NGLs and 2 bbls/d of crude oil. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 10.3 bcf of natural gas and 252 mbbls of NGLs and additional probable reserves of 5.7 bcf of natural gas, 141 mbbls of NGLs and 48 mbbls of light and medium oil. The Strachan area is an existing core area for the Trust and, as such, the Trust expects there to be an opportunity to realize significant synergies associated with its and KEL's operations in this area.

Herronton

        The Herronton area is located approximately 50 kilometres southeast of Calgary, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 82% working interest in approximately 60,700 gross acres (approximately 49,800 net acres) of land in the Herronton area of which approximately 9,100 net acres are undeveloped. Most of the production from this area comes from the Turner Valley carbonates or the Mannville and Belly River sands. The potential for coal bed methane production will be tested early next year in five recently recompleted wells. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 5.1 mmcf/d of natural gas and 8 bbls/d of NGLs. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 11.5 bcf of natural gas, 42 mbbls of NGLs and 1 mbbl of light and medium oil. In addition, probable reserves of 3 bcf of natural gas, 4 mbbls of NGLs and 1 mbbl of light and medium oil have been assigned.

Drumheller

        The Drumheller area is located approximately 100 kilometres northeast of Calgary, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 47% working interest in approximately 26,300 gross acres (approximately 12,300 net acres) of land in this area including approximately 3,500 net undeveloped acres. Activity in this area is high due to the current trend to downspace from one well per section to two wells per section for many gas bearing formations.

12



28 locations have been identified on these lands for this purpose. The main producing zones in the area are Medicine Hat, Belly River, Viking, Basal Colorado, Glauconitic and Ellerslie. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 2.1 mmcf/d of natural gas, 30 bbls/d of light and medium oil and 14 bbls/d of NGLs. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 8.0 bcf of natural gas, 18 mbbls of light and medium oil and 71 mbbls of NGLs. In addition, probable reserves of 1.8 bcf of natural gas, 5 mbbls of light and medium oil and 12 mbbls of NGLs have been assigned.

Sugden

        The Sugden area is located approximately 150 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 46% working interest in approximately 83,500 gross acres (approximately 38,800 net acres) of land in this area of which approximately 18,300 net acres is undeveloped. The main producing zones are Colony, Clearwater, McLaren and Viking. Seven drilling locations targeting Mannville and Viking gas have been selected and an additional 16 potential locations for Viking gas have been identified. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 3.4 mmcf/d of natural gas. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 6.6 bcf of natural gas and additional probable reserves of 3.3 bcf of natural gas.

Ribstone

        The Ribstone area is located approximately 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, Alberta. The Trust will acquire an average 59% working interest in approximately 14,900 gross acres (approximately 8,700 net acres) of land in the area including approximately 1,500 net undeveloped acres. The main producing zones are Colony, Sparky and Viking. There is potential for infill drilling in the Colony pools in the area. The average gross production from this property for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 1.8 mmcf/d of natural gas and 17 bbls/d of heavy crude oil. The GLJ Report assigned proved reserves of 6.2 bcf of natural gas and 14 mbbls of heavy oil. In addition, probable reserves of 1.6 bcf of natural gas and 62 mbbls of heavy oil have been assigned.

Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the New Properties

        The statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information set forth below (the "Statement") is dated August 12, 2005 in respect of the reserves data for the New Properties. The effective date of the Statement is July 1, 2005 and the preparation date of the Statement is July 15, 2005.

Disclosure of Reserves Data

        The reserves data set forth below (the "Reserves Data") for the New Properties are based upon an evaluation by GLJ with an effective date of July 1, 2005 as contained in the GLJ Report. The Reserves Data summarizes the crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves of the New Properties and the net present values of future net revenue for these reserves using constant prices and costs and forecast prices and costs. The Reserves Data conforms with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Additional information not required by NI 51-101 has been presented to provide continuity and additional information which we believe is important to the readers of this information. GLJ was engaged to provide an evaluation of proved and proved plus probable reserves and also proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

        All of the New Properties' reserves are in located Canada and, specifically, in the province of Alberta.

        Disclosure provided herein in respect of boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

        It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables below represent the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the constant prices and costs assumptions and forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.

Definitions and Other Notes

In the tables set forth above and elsewhere in this short form prospectus except where indicated otherwise the following definitions and other notes are applicable:

(1)
"Gross" means:

(a)
in relation to the interest in production and reserves of the New Properties, its "gross reserves", which is the interest to be acquired by the Trust (operating and non-operating) before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interest of the New Properties;

(b)
in relation to wells, the total number of wells in which the Trust will acquire an interest; and

(c)
in relation to properties, the total area of properties in which the Trust will acquire an interest.

(2)
"Net" means:

(a)
in relation to the interest in production and reserves of the New Properties, its "net reserves", which is the interest to be acquired by the Trust (operating and non-operating) after deduction of royalties obligations, plus the royalty interest in production or reserves.

(b)
in relation to wells, the number of wells obtained by aggregating the working interest in each of its gross wells; and

(c)
in relation to interest in the New Properties, the total area in which the Trust will acquire an interest multiplied by the working interest to be acquired.

(3)
"Exploration well" means a well that is not a development well, a service well or a stratigraphic test well.

(4)
"Development costs" means costs incurred to obtain access to reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas from reserves. More specifically, development costs, including applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(a)
gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines and power lines, pumping equipment and wellhead assembly;

(b)
drill and equip development wells, development type stratigraphic test wells and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment and wellhead assembly;

17


(5)
"Development well" means a well drilled inside the established limits of an oil and gas reservoir, or in close proximity to the edge of the reservoir, to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(6)
"Exploration costs" means costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects that may contain oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property and after acquiring the property. Exploration costs, which include applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(a)
costs of topographical, geochemical, geological and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews and others conducting those studies;

(b)
costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties, such as delay rentals, taxes (other than income and capital taxes) on properties, legal costs for title defence, and the maintenance of land and lease records;

(c)
dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions;

(d)
costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells; and

(e)
costs of drilling exploratory type stratigraphic test wells.

(7)
"Service well" means a well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Wells in this class are drilled for the following specific purposes: gas injection (natural gas, propane, butane or flue gas), water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt water disposal, water supply for injection, observation or injection for combustion.

(8)
Definitions used for reserve categories are as follows:

        The following definitions apply to both estimates of individual reserves entities and the aggregate of reserves for multiple entities.

        Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on

        Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

18


        "Economic Assumptions" will be the prices and costs used in the estimate, namely:

        Each of the reserve categories (proved and probable) may be divided into developed and undeveloped categories:

        In multi-well pools it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should be based on the estimator's assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.

        The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are applicable to individual reserve entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves are presented). Reported reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:

        A qualitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties. However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.

(9)
Forecast prices and costs

        Future prices and costs that are:

19


        The forecast summary table under "Pricing Assumptions" identifies benchmark reference pricing that apply to the New Properties.

(10)
Constant prices and costs

        Prices and costs used in an estimate that are:

(11)
Estimated reclamation costs related to a property have not been taken into account by GLJ in determining reserves that should be attributed to a property and in determining the aggregate future net revenue therefrom. A reasonable estimate of future well abandonment costs was taken into account and was deducted.

(12)
Numbers may not add due to rounding.

(13)
Both the constant and forecast price and cost assumptions assumed the continuance of current laws and regulations.

(14)
The extent and character of all factual data supplied to GLJ were accepted by GLJ as represented. No field inspection was conducted.

(15)
The estimates of future net revenue presented in the tables above do not represent fair market value.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations is before changes in non-cash working capital. As such, it is not a measure recognized by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, cash flow from operations before changes in working capital and before settlement of asset retirement obligations of the Trust may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, and subscribers are cautioned that it should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST UNITS

Trust Units

        An unlimited number of Trust Units may be created and issued pursuant to the Trust Indenture. Each Trust Unit represents an equal undivided beneficial interest in the assets of Trust. Each outstanding Trust Unit is entitled to an equal share of distributions by the Trust and, in the event of termination of the Trust, the net assets of the Trust. All Trust Units rank equally. Each Trust Unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote at all meetings of Unitholders. No Unitholder will be liable to pay any further calls or assessments in respect of the Trust Units. No conversion or preemptive rights attach to the Trust Units.

        As holders of Trust Units, Unitholders do not have the statutory rights normally associated with ownership of shares of a corporation including, for example, the statutory right given shareholders to bring an action against an issuer and its directors. The Trust is not a legally recognized entity within the relevant definitions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), and in some cases the Winding Up and Restructuring Act (Canada). As a result, in the event a restructuring of the Trust were necessary, the Trust would not be able to access the remedies available thereunder. In the event of a restructuring, the position of Unitholders may be different than that of the shareholders of a corporation.

Special Voting Units

        An unlimited number of Special Voting Units are also issuable pursuant to the Trust Indenture. Special Voting Units may only be issued by the Trust in conjunction with the issuance by the Corporation or an affiliate of securities which are, by their terms, exchangeable into Trust Units. Each holder of a Special Voting Unit of record is entitled to vote at all meetings of Unitholders. The maximum number of votes attached to each Special

25



Voting Unit shall be that number of Trust Units into which the exchangeable shares issued in conjunction with the Special Voting Unit and at that time outstanding are then exchangeable. The holders of Trust Units and the holder of Special Voting Units vote together as a single class on all matters. Special Voting Units have the foregoing rights in respect of voting at all meetings of unitholders but have no other rights and, for greater certainty, Special Voting Units do not represent a beneficial interest in the Trust. In the event that exchangeable shares issued in conjunction with a Special Voting Unit cease to be outstanding, such Special Voting Unit shall be deemed to be cancelled.

Trust Indenture

        The Trust Indenture, among other things, provides for the calling of meetings of Unitholders, the conduct of business thereof, notice provisions, the appointment and removal of the Trustee and the form of Trust Unit certificates. The Trust Indenture may be amended from time to time. Substantive amendments to the Trust Indenture, including early termination of the Trust and the sale or transfer of the property of the Trust as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, require approval by Special Resolution of the Unitholders. See "Information Relating to the Trust — Trust Indenture" in the AIF.

        The foregoing is a summary of certain provisions of the Trust Indenture. For a complete description of such Trust Indenture, reference should be made to the complete text of the Trust Indenture, copies of which may be viewed at the offices of, or obtained from, the Trustee.

Notes:

(1)
PC has a revolving working capital operating facility in the amount of $25 million and a syndicated facility in the amount of $390 million that are available in Canadian or U.S. dollars (collectively, the "Current Credit Facilities"). Interest rates fluctuate under the working capital operating facility with Canadian prime and U.S. base rates, as well as with Canadian banker's acceptance and LIBOR rates plus 80 basis points. Interest rates fluctuate under the syndicated facility with Canadian prime and U.S. base rates plus between 0 and 25 basis points, as well as with Canadian banker's acceptance and LIBOR rates plus between 80 basis points and 125 basis points, depending, in each case upon the Trust's debt to cash flow ratio. Indebtedness under the Current Credit Facilities is secured by a $600 million debenture containing a first ranking security interest on all of PC's assets. In addition, each of the Trust and PVT have provided a guarantee of PC's indebtedness under the Current Credit Facilities that is secured by a $600 million debenture containing a first ranking security interest in their respective assets. The limit of the syndicated facility is subject to adjustment from time to time to reflect changes in PC's asset base. The next review date for the Current Credit Facilities is April 2006. PC is negotiating replacement credit facilities (the "New Credit Facilities") in the aggregate principal amount of $590 million to be available for the closing of the Acquisition. It is expected that the New Credit Facilities will consist of a combined revolving working capital operating facility in the amount of $50 million and a syndicated facility in the amount of $540 million. Interest rates are expected to fluctuate under the working capital operating facility of the New Credit Facilities with Canadian prime and U.S. base rates, as well as with Canadian banker's acceptance and LIBOR rates. Interest rates are expected to fluctuate under the syndicated facility of the New Credit Facilities with Canadian prime and U.S. base rates plus between 0 and 25 basis points, as well as with Canadian banker's acceptance and LIBOR rates plus between 75 basis points and 125 basis points, depending, in each case upon the Trust's debt to cash flow ratio. The New Credit Facilities are expected to be secured by a $900 million debenture containing a first ranking security interest on all PC's assets. In addition, it is expected that the New Credit Facilities will require each of the Trust, PVT, KEL and its subsidiaries to provide a

(2)
In addition, as at September 30, 2005, rights were outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 44,532 Trust Units, having a weighted average exercise price of $11.03 which were granted pursuant to the Trust's unit rights incentive plan.

(3)
In addition, as at September 30, 2005, 123,173 restricted units were outstanding which were granted pursuant to the Trust's restricted unit plan, which restricted units entitled the holders to acquire 123,173 Trust Units, subject to adjustment for cash distributions paid to Unitholders.

(4)
In addition, as at September 30, 2005, 40,830 restricted units were outstanding which were granted pursuant to the Trust's long-term incentive plan, which restricted units entitled the holders to acquire 40,830 Trust Units, subject to adjustment in accordance with cash distributions paid to Unitholders and subject to meeting certain performance measures.

(5)
As at September 30, 2005, 402,618 PC Exchangeable Shares were outstanding entitling the holders to exchange shares at an exchange ratio of 1.3391. If all PC Exchangeable Shares were exchanged on September 30, 2005, there would be 539,147 additional Trust Units issued.


STABILITY RATING

        Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ("DBRS") has assigned a stability rating of STA-5 (low) to the Trust Units. The stability rating is based on a rating scale developed by DBRS that provides an indicator of both the stability and sustainability of an income fund's distributions per unit. Ratings categories range from STA-1 to STA-7, with STA-1 being the highest. In addition, DBRS further separates the ratings into "high", "middle" and "low" subcategories to indicate where they fall within the rating category. Ratings take into consideration the seven main factors of: (1) operating and industry characteristics; (2) asset quality; (3) financial flexibility; (4) diversification; (5) size and market position; (6) sponsorship/governance; and (7) growth. In addition, consideration is given to specific structural or contractual elements that may eliminate or mitigate risks or other potentially negative factors.

        Specifically, income funds rated as STA-5 are considered by DBRS to have weak distribution per unit stability and sustainability. An income fund rated as STA-5 is subject to many of the same cyclical, seasonal and economic factors as the higher STA-4 rating category, but the lack of diversification is generally more pronounced and such income funds will tend to be below average in several areas.

        A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by DBRS.

October   $ 0.17
November   $ 0.17

        Cash distributions by the Trust are payable on the last business day of each month to Unitholders of record on the tenth business day preceding the end of such month.

        If the offering closes on December 6, 2005 and the Acquisition closes on December 15, 2005 as currently contemplated, holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive on December 30, 2005 an amount equal to the monthly distribution expected to be paid on December 30, 2005 to Unitholders of record on December 14, 2005.

        Distributions may vary significantly from period to period based on, among other things, commodity prices and production levels. The Trust's acquisition and development activity will also impact the level of distributions. The Trust has historically been engaged in an active program of acquiring producing oil and gas properties with a view to replacing exploited reserves and increasing production in order to enhance distributions; however, there can be no assurance that such acquisitions will continue in the foreseeable future. Distributions for any given period will also vary to the extent cash flows are utilized for debt repayment, reserved for purposes of funding future operating costs, capital expenditures, reclamation obligations, general and administrative costs or debt service charges or to the extent such reserve is utilized in a particular period. Distributions per Trust Unit will also vary based on the number of outstanding Trust Units. There is no minimum distribution payable in any period.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        The net proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Subscription Receipts hereunder are estimated to be $236,800,000 after deducting the fees of $12,500,000 payable to the Underwriters and the estimated expenses of the issue of $700,000. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition.


DETAILS OF THE OFFERING

        The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Subscription Receipts. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

        At closing, a certificate representing the Subscription Receipts will be issued in registered form to CDS or its nominee, CDS & Co., and will be deposited with CDS on the closing date of this offering pursuant to the book-entry only system. Unless the book-entry only system is terminated, and except in certain limited circumstances, owners of beneficial interests in Subscription Receipts shall not receive a certificate for Subscription Receipts or, unless requested, for the Trust Units issuable on the exchange of the Subscription

29



Receipts. Beneficial interests in Subscription Receipts will generally be represented solely through the book-entry only system and such interests will be evidenced by customer confirmations of purchase from the Underwriters.

        The Escrowed Funds will be delivered to and held by the Escrow Agent and invested in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada (and other approved investments) pending the closing of the Acquisition. Provided that the closing of the Acquisition occurs by 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on January 31, 2006, the Escrowed Funds and the interest earned thereon will be released to the Trust and the Units will be issued to holders of Subscription Receipts who will receive, without payment of additional consideration or further action, one Unit for each Subscription Receipt held.

        Forthwith upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Trust will execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a notice thereof, and will issue and deliver the Units to the Escrow Agent. Contemporaneously with the delivery of such notice, the Trust will issue a press release specifying that the Units have been issued.

        If the closing of the Acquisition does not take place by 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on January 31, 2006, the Acquisition is terminated at any earlier time or the Trust has advised the Underwriters or announced to the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition (in any case, the "Termination Time"), holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the full subscription price therefor and their pro rata entitlements to interest on such amount. The Escrowed Funds will be applied toward payment of such amount. The issuance of a cheque in payment of the subscription price for the Subscription Receipts will require the surrender of the certificate(s) representing the same at the principal office of the Escrow Agent in Calgary, Alberta. If any certificates representing Subscription Receipts have not been surrendered one year after the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent will mail the cheques that the holders thereof are entitled to receive to their last addresses of record.

        If the closing of the Acquisition takes place prior to the Termination Time and holders of Subscription Receipts become entitled to receive Units pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, such holders will be entitled to receive an amount per Subscription Receipt equal to the amount per Unit of any cash distributions for which record dates have occurred during the period from the date of closing of the offering to the date immediately preceding the date the Units are issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts. All or a portion of this amount will be satisfied by the payment by the Escrow Agent to holders of Subscription Receipts of interest earned on the Escrowed Funds. The difference, if any, between the amount of interest earned on the Escrowed Funds and the distribution that would have been payable on the Units will be paid by the Trust. If holders of Subscription Receipts become entitled to receive Units, the Escrow Agent and the Trust will pay such amounts to holders on the later of the date the Units are issued and the date such distribution(s) is paid to Unitholders. For greater certainty, if the closing of the Acquisition takes place on a date that is a Unit distribution record date, holders of Subscription Receipts shall not be entitled as such to receive a payment in respect of the cash distribution for such record date but shall instead be deemed to be holders of Units on such date and will be entitled as Unitholders to receive such monthly distribution.

        In addition, if the offering closes on December 6, 2005 and the Acquisition closes on December 15, 2005 as currently contemplated, holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive on December 30, 2005 an amount equal to the monthly distribution expected to be paid on December 30, 2005 to Unitholders of record on December 14, 2005.

        Under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, original purchasers of Subscription Receipts under the offering will have a contractual right of rescission following the issuance of Units to such purchaser upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts to receive the amount paid for the Subscription Receipts if this short form prospectus (including documents incorporated by reference) and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to such purchaser, provided such remedy for rescission is exercised within 180 days of closing of the offering.

        Holders of Subscription Receipts are not Unitholders. Holders of Subscription Receipts are entitled only to receive Units on surrender of their Subscription Receipts to the Escrow Agent or to a return of the subscription price for the Subscription Receipts together with any payments in lieu of interest or distributions, as applicable, as described above.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Trust has agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 11,250,000 Subscription Receipts to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase such Subscription Receipts on December 6, 2005, or such other date not later than December 14, 2005 as may be agreed among the parties to the Underwriting Agreement. Delivery of the Subscription Receipts is conditional upon payment on closing of $20.00 per Subscription Receipt by the Underwriters to the Escrow Agent. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Trust will pay the Underwriters' fee of $1.00 per Subscription Receipt for Subscription Receipts issued and sold by the Trust, for an aggregate fee payable by the Trust of $11,250,000, in consideration for their services in connection with the offering. The Underwriters' fee is payable as to 50% upon the closing of the offering and 50% upon closing of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not completed by January 31, 2006, the Underwriters' fee in respect of the Subscription Receipts will be reduced to the amount payable upon closing of the offering. The terms of the offering were determined by negotiation between PC, on behalf of the Trust, and CIBC World Markets Inc., on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Underwriters.

        Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Trust had granted to the Underwriters an Underwriters' option to purchase up to an additional 1,250,000 Subscription Receipts on the same terms and conditions as the offering, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the offering. The Underwriters exercised the option in full on November 24, 2005 increasing the offering from 11,250,000 Subscription Receipts to 12,500,000 Subscription Receipts and resulting in, the total offering, Underwriters' fee and net proceeds to the Trust (before expenses of the offering) being $250,000,000, $12,500,000 $237,500,000, respectively.

        The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and not joint, and may be terminated at their discretion upon the occurrence of certain stated events. The obligations of the Trust and the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement to complete the purchase and sale of the Subscription Receipts will terminate automatically if the Acquisition is terminated or the Trust has advised the Underwriters or announced to the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition. If one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase its allotment of Subscription Receipts, the remaining Underwriter or Underwriters are obligated to purchase the Subscription Receipts not purchased by the Underwriter or Underwriters which fail to purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event one or more of the Underwriters who have an obligation to purchase in the aggregate more than 7% of the Subscription Receipts offered hereunder fail to purchase their allotment of Subscription Receipts, the remaining Underwriter or Underwriters have the right but not the obligation to purchase the Subscription Receipts not purchased by the Underwriter or Underwriters which fail to purchase or the remaining Underwriter or Underwriters have the right to terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters are obligated to take up and pay for all of the Subscription Receipts if any purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Trust and the Corporation will indemnify the Underwriters and their directors, officers, agents, shareholders and employees against certain liabilities and expenses.

        Except in certain limited circumstances, the Subscription Receipts will be issued in "book-entry only" form and must be purchased or transferred through a participant in the depository service of CDS. See "Details of the Offering".

        The Trust has been advised by the Underwriters that, in connection with the offering, the Underwriters may effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts or the Units at levels other than those that might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        The Trust has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not offer or issue, or enter into an agreement to offer or issue, Units or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Units for a period of 90 days subsequent to the closing date of the offering without the consent of CIBC World Markets Inc. on behalf of the Underwriters, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

        The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Subscription Receipts offered hereunder and the Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts on the TSX. Listing is subject to the Trust fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before February 16, 2006. The Trust has applied to list the Units issuable

31


pursuant to the Subscription Receipts on AMEX. Listing will be subject to the Trust fulfilling all of the listing requirements of AMEX.

        The Underwriters have agreed not to offer, sell or deliver the Subscription Receipts offered hereunder, as part of the distribution of such Subscription Receipts at any time, within the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, U.S. persons. Accordingly, this short form prospectus is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Subscription Receipts (or the Trust Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts) within the United States nor is it an offer to sell to, or the solicitation of an offer to buy from, any U.S. persons any of these Subscription Receipts (or the Trust Units issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts).


RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PC'S LENDERS AND THE UNDERWRITERS

        CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., five of the Underwriters, are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Canadian chartered banks which are lenders to PC and to which PC is indebted. See note (1) to the table under "Consolidated Capitalization of the Trust" for a description of the existing credit facility of PC and PVT and the New Credit Facilities. Consequently, the Trust may be considered to be a connected issuer of these Underwriters for the purposes of securities regulations in certain provinces. PC and PVT are currently in compliance with the terms of the credit facility. The decision to distribute the Subscription Receipts hereby and the determination of the terms of distribution were made through negotiations between PC, on behalf of the Trust, and CIBC World Markets Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters. The banks did not have any involvement in such decision or determination; however, the banks have been advised of the issuance and the terms thereof. As a consequence of this issuance, CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. will receive their respective share of the Underwriters' fee. In addition, Scotia Capital Inc. (together with its affiliate, Scotia Waterous Inc.) was retained by the Trust in connection with the Acquisition and will receive a fee from the Trust on completion of the Acquisition.

        CIBC World Markets Inc. was retained by the Vendor in connection with the Acquisition and will receive a fee from the Vendor on completion of the Acquisition.

        CIBC World Markets Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc. have performed financial advisory work for the Trust since the commencement of the Trust's last completed fiscal year.


INTEREST OF EXPERTS

        Certain legal matters relating to the offering will be passed upon by Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP on behalf of the Trust, and by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP on behalf of the Underwriters. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP, as a group, owned less than 1% of outstanding Trust Units and the partners and associates of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, as a group, own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the Trust Units. Oil and natural gas reserve estimates contained in or incorporated by reference into this short form prospectus have been prepared by GLJ. As of the date hereof, the directors, officers and associates of GLJ, as a group, own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the Trust Units.


CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        In the opinion of Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP (collectively, "Counsel"), the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations pursuant to the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations") generally applicable to a subscriber who acquires Subscription Receipts pursuant to the offering and who at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is resident or deemed to be resident in Canada, holds the Subscription Receipts and the Units issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts (collectively, the "Securities") as capital property and deals at arm's length with the Trust and the Underwriters and is not affiliated with the Trust. Generally speaking, the Securities will be considered to be capital property to a holder provided the holder does not hold the Securities in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Certain holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Units as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have them treated

32



as capital property by making the election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. This summary is not applicable to: (i) a holder that is a "financial institution", as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the mark-to-market rules; (ii) a holder an interest in which would be a "tax shelter investment" as defined in the Tax Act; or (iii) a holder that is a "specified financial institution" as defined in the Tax Act. Any such holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to an investment in the Securities.

        This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations in force as of the date hereof and Counsel's understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA"). Except for specifically proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the Tax Act and the Regulations that have been publicly announced by the federal Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof, this summary does not take into account or anticipate changes thereto, whether by legislative, regulatory or judicial action, nor any changes in the administrative practices of the CRA. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations nor does it take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations arising from the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Securities. Except as otherwise indicated, this summary is based on the assumption that all transactions described herein occur at fair market value.

        Prospective Unitholders that are registered pension plans or who are not resident (or deemed not to be resident) in Canada should consult their own tax advisors regarding the income tax considerations applicable to them in their particular circumstances.

        This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or holder of Securities, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any prospective purchaser or holder are made. Consequently, prospective holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Holders of Securities Resident in Canada

Subscription Receipts

        No gain or loss will be realized by a holder on the issuance of a Unit pursuant to a Subscription Receipt. If the Acquisition is completed prior to the Termination Time, the holder of a Subscription Receipt will be required to include in income the amount equal to the distributions that the holder would have received on such Unit had the Unit been issued to the holder on the date of closing of this offering, and such amount will not reduce the cost of the acquired Units. The cost of any Units acquired must be averaged with the cost of any other Units held by the Unitholder to determine the adjusted cost base of each Unit held.

        In the event the Acquisition does not close before the Termination Time or if the Acquisition is terminated at an earlier time, holders of Subscription Receipts will be required to include their proportionate share of interest on the Escrowed Funds in computing their income for purposes of the Tax Act.

        A disposition or deemed disposition by a holder of a Subscription Receipt, other than on the exchange thereof for a Unit, will generally result in the holder realizing a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition are greater (or less) than the aggregate of the holder's adjusted cost base thereof and any reasonable costs of disposition. Prior to delivery of a Unit pursuant to a Subscription Receipt, the cost of a Subscription Receipt need not be averaged with the cost of any Units held. Any such capital gains or capital losses will be treated, for tax purposes in the same manner as capital gains and capital losses arising from a disposition of Units, which treatment is described below under "Holders of Securities Resident in Canada — Units".

Units

        Income of a Unitholder from the Units will be considered to be income from property and not resource income (or "resource profits") for the purposes of the Tax Act. Any loss of the Trust for the purposes of the Tax Act cannot be allocated to and treated as a loss of a Unitholder.

        A Unitholder will generally be required to include in computing income for a particular taxation year of the Unitholder the portion of the net income of the Trust for a taxation year, including taxable dividends and net

33



realized taxable capital gains determined for purposes of the Tax Act, that is paid or payable to the Unitholder in that particular taxation year.

        Provided that appropriate designations are made by the Trust, such portions of its net taxable capital gains and taxable dividends as are paid or payable to a Unitholder will effectively retain their character as taxable capital gains and taxable dividends, respectively, and shall be treated as such in the hands of the Unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act. Such dividends will be subject, among other things, to the gross-up and dividend tax credit provisions in respect of individuals, the refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act in respect of certain corporations, and the deduction in computing taxable income in respect of dividends received by taxable Canadian corporations.

        Based on the distribution policy of the Trust, the amount distributed to Unitholders in a year may exceed the income of the Trust for tax purposes for that year. Distributions in excess of the Trust's taxable income in a year will not generally be included in computing the income of the Unitholders from the Trust for tax purposes. However, a Unitholder is required to reduce the adjusted cost base of the Unitholder's Trust Units by the portion of any amount paid or payable to the Unitholder by the Trust (other than the non-taxable portion of certain capital gains) that was not included in computing Unitholder's income, and will realize a capital gain in a year to the extent the adjusted cost base of the Unitholder's units becomes a negative amount.

        Upon the disposition or deemed disposition by a holder of a Unit, whether on redemption or otherwise, the Unitholder will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition are greater (or less) than the aggregate of the Unitholder's adjusted cost base of the Unit and any reasonable costs of disposition. The cost of any Units acquired must be averaged with the cost of any other Units held by the Unitholder to determine the adjusted cost base of each Unit held. Where Units are redeemed and notes of PC are distributed or Repurchase Notes are issued to the Unitholder in satisfaction of the aggregate redemption price, the proceeds of disposition to the holder of the Units will generally be equal to the adjusted cost base to the Trust of the notes of PC so distributed or the fair market value of the Repurchase Notes so issued, as the case may be. A capital loss realized on the disposition of a Unit will generally be reduced by the amount of any non-taxable dividends payable to the Unitholder and, where the Unitholder is a corporation, the amount of any taxable dividends that are deductible by the corporation in computing taxable income. Similar rules apply where the Unitholder is a partnership or a Trust. Where a Unitholder that is a corporation or a Trust (other than a mutual fund trust) disposes of a Unit, the Unitholder's capital loss from the disposition will generally be reduced by the amount of dividends from taxable Canadian corporations previously designated by the Trust to the Unitholder except to the extent that a loss on a previous disposition of a Unit has been reduced by such dividends. Analogous rules apply where a corporation or Trust (other than a mutual fund trust) is a member of a partnership that disposes of Units.

        One-half of any capital gain realized by a Unitholder on a disposition or deemed disposition of Units, and the amount of any net taxable capital gains designated by the Trust in respect of the Unitholder, will be included in the Unitholder's income under the Tax Act in the year of disposition or designation, as the case may be, as a taxable capital gain. To the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act, one-half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized by a Unitholder upon a disposition of Units must be deducted against any taxable capital gains realized by the Unitholder in the applicable taxation year and any excess thereof may be deducted against, (i) net taxable capital gains in any of the three preceding taxation years, and (ii) net taxable capital gains in any subsequent taxation year.

        The cost of any note of PC distributed or Repurchase Note issued to a Unitholder by the Trust upon a redemption of Units will be equal to the fair market value of the note of PC or Repurchase Note, as the case may be, at the time of the distribution or issuance, as applicable, less any accrued interest thereon. Such a Unitholder will be required to include in income interest paid or accrued on the note of PC or Repurchase Note in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. To the extent that a Unitholder is required to include in income any interest that had accrued to the date of the acquisition of the note of PC or Repurchase Note, an offsetting deduction may be available. For purposes of computing the adjusted cost base to a holder of notes of PC or Repurchase Notes the respective costs must be averaged with the adjusted cost base to the holder of all other notes of PC or Repurchase Notes, as the case may be, held at that time by the holder as capital property.

34



Unitholders who receive a note of PC or a Repurchase Note should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of holding such note or Repurchase Note.

        Taxable capital gains realized by a Unitholder who is an individual may give rise to minimum tax depending on the Unitholder's circumstances. A Unitholder that throughout the relevant taxation year is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation", as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 62/3% on certain investment income, including income that was received or became receivable from the Trust in the relevant taxation year and taxable capital gains arising from a disposition of Units.

        Provided that the Trust qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Tax Act, the Units will be qualified investments for Trusts governed by Exempt Plans. Exempt Plans will generally not be liable for tax in respect of any distributions received from the Trust or any capital gain realized on the disposition of any Units. If the Trust ceases to qualify as a mutual fund trust, the Units will cease to be qualified investments for Exempt Plans. Where, at the end of any month, an Exempt Plan holds Units that are not qualified investments, the Exempt Plan must, in respect of that month, pay a tax under Part XI.1 of the Tax Act equal to 1% of the fair market value of the Units at the time such Units were acquired by the Exempt Plan. In addition, where a Trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund holds Units that are not qualified investments, the Trust will become taxable on its income attributable to the Units while they are not qualified investments. Where a Trust governed by a registered education savings plan holds Units that are not qualified investments, the registration of the registered education savings plan may be revoked.

The Trust

Status of the Trust

        Based upon representations of PC and the Trustee as to certain factual matters, the Trust qualifies as a "unit trust" and a "mutual fund trust" as defined in the Tax Act, and this summary assumes that the Trust will also qualify at the time of acquisition of the Subscription Receipts by subscribers under this offering, and will continue to qualify thereafter, as a unit trust and as a mutual fund trust for the purposes of the Tax Act. The qualification of the Trust as a mutual fund trust under the Tax Act requires that certain factual conditions generally be met throughout its existence. These conditions generally include that the Trust must generally have at least 150 Unitholders each of whom owns not less than one "block" of Units having an aggregate fair market value of not less than $500 where a "block" of Units, in this case, means 100 Units if the fair market value of one Unit is less than $25. The Trust must also restrict its activities to investing and may not carry on any business. The Trust must also not be established nor maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents, unless, at all times since the formation of the Trust, all or substantially all of the Trust's property consists of property other than taxable Canadian property. Under proposed amendments announced in the 2004 Federal Budget and released as draft legislation on September 16, 2004, a trust would be considered to be maintained primarily for the benefit of non-residents and would cease to qualify as a mutual fund trust at the time trust units having more than 50% of the fair market value of all issued trust units are held by non-residents of Canada or partnerships in which all of the partners are not residents of Canada (a "non-Canadian partnership"). However, in a press release issued on December 6, 2004 the Minister of Finance indicated that these proposed amendments would be suspended and further discussions would take place with the private sector concerning the appropriate tax treatment of investments by non-residents in mutual fund trusts holding interest in resource properties. Accordingly the Notice of Ways and Means Motion tabled by the Minister of Finance on December 6, 2004 did not include the proposed amendments relating to investments in mutual fund trusts by non-residents originally released on September 16, 2004. Based on information provided to the Trust by its transfer agent and registrar, as at October 31, 2005, non-residents held approximately 74% of the then outstanding Units. See the discussion under the headings "Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Securities Markets and the Ownership of Trust Units — Mutual Fund Trust" and "Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Securities Markets and the Ownership of Trust Units — Change in the Trust's Status under Tax Laws" in the AIF.

        Counsel has been advised by PC that the Trust has satisfied the foregoing factual requirements and that it is intended these requirements will continue to be satisfied so that the Trust will continue to qualify as a mutual fund trust, and the balance of this summary assumes that the Trust does and will continue to so qualify. In the event the Trust were not to qualify as a mutual fund Trust, the income tax considerations would, in some

35



respects, be materially different from those described below. The Trust will continue to so qualify as a mutual fund trust throughout its taxation year if it so qualifies at the beginning of the taxation year and it would not otherwise qualify at any other particular time in such taxation year solely by virtue of a failure to satisfy the requirement regarding dispersal of ownership of Units.

        If the Trust ceases to qualify as a mutual fund trust, it will be required to pay a tax under Part XII.2 of the Tax Act. The payment of Part XII.2 tax by the Trust may have adverse income tax consequences for certain Unitholders including non-resident persons and Exempt Plans that acquire an interest in the Trust.

Taxation of the Trust

        The Trust is subject to taxation in each taxation year on its income for the year, including net realized taxable capital gains, less the portion thereof that is paid or payable in the year to Unitholders and which is deducted by the Trust in computing its income for purposes of the Tax Act. An amount will be considered to be payable to a Unitholder in a taxation year if it is paid in the year by the Trust or the Unitholder is entitled in that year to enforce payment of the amount. The taxation year of the Trust is the calendar year.

        The Trust will be required to include in its income any amounts accrued in respect of the royalties held by the Trust. The Trust will also be required to include in its income interest that accrues to the Trust to the end of the year, or becomes receivable or is received by the Trust before the end of the year, except to the extent that such interest was included in computing its income for a preceding taxation year, any dividends paid or deemed to be received on shares owned by the Trust and any amounts paid or payable to the Trust in respect of its interest in PVT. Provided that appropriate designations are made by the Trust, all dividends which would otherwise be included in its income as dividends received on shares held by the Trust will be deemed to have been received by Unitholders and not to have been received by the Trust.

        Generally, the Trust may deduct, in computing its income from all sources for a taxation year, an amount not exceeding 10% on a declining balance basis of its cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense ("COGPE") account at the end of that year, pro-rated for short taxation years. If, after taking into account all additions and deductions for any taxation year, the balance of the cumulative COGPE account of the Trust is negative at the end of the taxation year, the negative balance will be included in the income of the Trust for such year.

        Where as a result of a release or other disposition of a royalty by the Trust, proceeds of disposition become receivable by the Trust in a taxation year, the amount of such proceeds ("Disposition Proceeds") will be required to be deducted from the balance of the Trust's cumulative COGPE account otherwise determined. If all or a portion of the Disposition Proceeds receivable in a taxation year is utilized in that year by the Trust to acquire additional interests in respect of one or more "Canadian resource properties", as defined under the Tax Act, the amount so utilized will be added, in that year, to its cumulative COGPE account.

        In addition to annual deductions in respect of its cumulative COGPE account, the Trust will be entitled to deduct on an annual basis reasonable administrative expenses incurred in its ongoing operations. Generally, the Trust will be entitled to deduct, over five years on a straight-line basis pro-rated for short taxation years, reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with the issuance of Units, including Units issued by way of the Subscription Receipts provided such Units are issued.

        Under the Trust Indenture, an amount equal to all of the royalty, interest, dividend and other income of the Trust for each year, together with the taxable and non-taxable portion of any capital gains realized by the Trust in the year (net of the Trust's expenses and amounts, if any, required to be retained to pay any tax liability of the Trust and certain other amounts) will be payable to the holders of Units. Disposition Proceeds will also be payable to the holders of Units to the extent such proceeds create a negative balance in the cumulative COGPE account of the Trust as of December 31 of any year. Subject to the exceptions described below, all amounts payable to the holders of Units shall be paid by way of cash distributions. Under the Trust Indenture, the Trust may, in certain circumstances, issue its own notes ("Repurchase Notes") or distribute notes of PC held by the Trust to finance the repurchase of Units.

        For purposes of the Tax Act, Counsel is advised that the Trust intends to deduct, in computing its income, the full amount available for deduction in each year to the extent of its income for the year otherwise

36



determined. As a result of such deduction from income, it is expected that the Trust will not be liable for any material amount of tax under the Tax Act. However, no assurances can be given in this regard. Losses incurred by the Trust cannot be allocated to Unitholders but may be deducted by the Trust in future years in accordance with the Tax Act.


RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the Subscription Receipts and Units is subject to certain risks. Investors should carefully consider the risks described under "Risk Factors" in the AIF in addition to the following risk factors.

Possible Failure to Realize Anticipated Benefits of Acquisitions

        The Trust has completed a number of acquisitions to date in 2005 and is proposing to complete the Acquisition to strengthen its position in the oil and natural gas industry and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits including, among other things, potential cost savings. Achieving the benefits of these and future acquisitions the Trust may complete depends in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as the Trust's ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired businesses and operations with those of PC and PVT. The integration of acquired businesses requires the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during this process. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees and the disruption of ongoing business, customer and employee relationships that may adversely affect the Trust's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of these and future acquisitions.

Possible Failure to Complete the Acquisition

        The Acquisition is subject to normal commercial risk that the Acquisition may not be completed on the terms negotiated or at all. If closing of the Acquisition does not take place by the Termination Time, the Escrow Agent and the Trust will repay to holders of Subscription Receipts, commencing on or before the second Business Day following the Termination Time, an amount equal to the issue price therefor plus a pro rata share of the interest earned on the Escrowed Funds.

        Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PC paid a deposit of $48.5 million (the "Deposit") to the Vendor which amount will be credited to the purchase price in the event the Acquisition is completed and will be retained by the Vendor if the Acquisition is not completed in certain circumstances.

        See "Recent Developments — The Acquisition".

Operational and Reserve Risks Relating to the New Properties

        The risk factors set forth in the Trust's AIF and in this short form prospectus relating to the oil and natural gas business and the operations and reserves of the Trust apply equally in respect of the New Properties that the Trust is acquiring pursuant to the Acquisition. In particular, the reserve and recovery information contained in the GLJ Report in respect of the New Properties is only an estimate and the actual production from and ultimate reserves of those properties may be greater or less than the estimates contained in such report.

Market for Subscription Receipts

        There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts purchased under this short form prospectus. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Subscription Receipts after the offering, or if developed, that such a market will be sustained at the price level of the offering.

Reserve Estimates

        The reserve and recovery information contained in the GLJ Report and in the reserve reports as described in or incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus are only estimates and the actual production and

37



ultimate reserves from the properties may be greater or less than the estimates prepared. In addition, probable reserve estimates for properties may require revision based on the actual development strategies employed to prove such reserves. Estimated reserves may also be affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices. Declines in the reserves of PC and PVT which are not offset by the acquisition or development of additional reserves may reduce the underlying value of Units to Unitholders.

Credit Facilities — Limitations on Distributions

        PC presently has in place the Current Credit Facilities and is negotiating the New Credit Facilities which will be utilized to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition. See Note 1 to the table under the heading "Consolidated Capitalization of the Trust". The terms of the Current Credit Facilities may restrict future cash distributions to Unitholders as described in the AIF under "Information Relating to the Trust — Credit Facility — Limitations on Distributions". It is expected that the New Credit Facilities will, similarly to the Current Credit Facilities, contain terms which may restrict future cash distributions to Unitholders. The New Credit Facilities will increase the total debt of the Trust; however, the Trust does not expect that the terms of the New Credit Facilities will have any incremental or additional impact on future cash distributions.

Refinancing of Credit Facilities

        Although PC has in place the Current Credit Facilities and is negotiating the New Credit Facilities, if it is necessary at some future time for PC to obtain alternative financing, there is no assurance that refinancing will be available or, if available, available on favourable terms. If the Trust is unable to refinance on favourable terms cash distributions may be unfavourably impacted.


MATERIAL CONTRACTS

        The only material contracts entered into or to be entered into by the Trust in connection with the offering are as follows:

OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES ABOUT OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES
(unaudited)

        The tables in this section set forth oil and gas information prepared by the Trust in accordance with U.S. disclosure standards, pertaining to FAS 69, "Disclosure about Oil and Gas Producing Activities".

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein

        In calculating the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, year-end constant prices and cost assumptions were applied to the Trust's annual future production from proved reserves to determine cash inflows. Future production and development costs are based on constant price assumptions and assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of the oil and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. The Trust is currently not taxable. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent discount factor to the future net cash flows. The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon the discounted future net cash flows prepared by the Trust's independent qualified reserves evaluators in relation to the reserves they respectively evaluated, and adjusted by the Trust is to account for management's estimates of risk management activities, asset retirement obligations and future income taxes.

        The Trust cautions that the discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves are an indication of neither the fair market value of the Trust's oil and gas properties, nor of the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted future cash flows do not include the fair market value of exploratory properties and probable or possible oil and gas reserves, nor is consideration given to the effect of anticipated future changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, development, asset retirement and production costs and possible changes to tax and royalty regulations. The prescribed discount rate of 10 percent may not appropriately reflect future interest rates.

PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS OF THE TRUST

COMPILATION REPORT

To the Directors of Petrofund Corp.

        We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of Petrofund Energy Trust ("Petrofund") as at September 30, 2005 and unaudited combined statements of operations for the nine months then ended and for the year ended December 31, 2004, and have performed the following procedures.

1.
Compared the figures in the column captioned "Petrofund Energy" to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Petrofund as at September 30, 2005 and for the nine months then ended, and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Petrofund as at December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended and found them to be in agreement.

2.
Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Ultima Energy" to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Ultima Energy Trust ("Ultima") as at March 31, 2004 and for the three months then ended and to Ultima's accounting records for the period April 1, 2004 to June 16, 2004, and found them to be in agreement.

3.
Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Kaiser Energy" to the unaudited consolidated Financial Statements of Kaiser Energy Ltd. as at September 30, 2005 and for the nine months then ended and to the audited consolidated Financial Statements of Kaiser Energy Ltd. as at December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended and found them to be in agreement.

4.
Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Canadian Partnership" to the unaudited Financial Statements of Canadian Acquisition Limited Partnership ("Canadian Partnership") as at September 30, 2005 and for the nine months then ended and to the audited Financial Statements of Canadian Partnership as at December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended and found them to be in agreement.

5.
Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Properties to be Transferred" to the unaudited statement of revenue and operating costs for the Properties to be Transferred to Kaiser Energy Ltd. for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the audited statement of revenue and operating costs of the Properties to be Transferred to Kaiser Energy Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2004 and found them to be in agreement.

6.
Made enquiries of certain officials of Petrofund who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:

(a)
the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

(b)
whether the pro forma combined financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the regulatory requirements of the various Securities Commissions and similar regulatory authorities in Canada.
7.
Read the notes to the pro forma combined financial statements and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

F-1


8.
Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the captioned "Petrofund Energy", "Ultima Energy", "Kaiser Energy", "Canadian Partnership", and "Properties to be Transferred" columns, as applicable as at September 30, 2005 and for the nine months then ended, and the year ended December 31, 2004, and found the amounts in the column captioned "Pro Forma Combined" to be arithmetically correct.

        A pro forma financial statement is based on management assumptions and adjustments which are inherently subjective. The forgoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management's assumption, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma combined financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statement.

COMMENTS BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS FOR
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA READERS ON DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES REPORTING STANDARDS

        The above compilation report, provided solely pursuant to Canadian requirements, is expressed in accordance with standards of reporting generally accepted in Canada. To report in conformity with the United States of America standards on the reasonableness of the pro forma adjustments and their application to the pro forma financial statements would require an examination or review which would be substantially greater in scope than the review as to compilation only that we have conducted. Consequently, under the United States of America standards, such compilation report would not be included.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF KAISER ENERGY LTD.


AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Directors
Kaiser Energy Ltd.

        We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Kaiser Energy Ltd. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Kaiser Energy Ltd. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

        We have audited the balance sheets of Canadian Acquisition Limited Partnership as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended.

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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE UNINCORPORATED ASSETS

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Directors Kaiser Energy Ltd.

This financial information is the responsibility of KEL's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial information 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 information is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial information. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of financial information.

        In our opinion, the statement of revenue and operating costs presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and operating costs of the Properties for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

        Under the provisions of the Amended and Restated Trust Indenture dated as of November 16, 2004 providing for the creation of the Registrant, the trustee is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant for any liability and costs, charges and expenses incurred in respect of any action, suit or proceeding against the trustee in respect of anything done or the performance by the trustee of its duties, responsibilities and powers and in respect of the administration and termination of the trust, unless the trustee shall not have exercised its powers and carried out its functions honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the trust and unitholders.

        Under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the directors and officers of Petrofund Corp., former directors and officers and persons who act or acted at the request of Petrofund Corp. as a director or officer of a corporation of which Petrofund Corp. is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, are entitled to be indemnified by Petrofund Corp. against any costs, charges and expenses including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been such a director or officer (except in respect of an action by or on behalf of Petrofund Corp. to procure a judgement in its favor), if (a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Petrofund Corp.; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in respect of an action by or on behalf of Petrofund Corp. to procure a judgement in its favor only with prior approval of the court having jurisdiction and only if such director or officer fulfils the conditions set forth in (a) and (b) above. Such director or officer is entitled to such indemnification as a matter of right if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense in the proceeding and fulfils the conditions set forth in (a) and (b) above.

        Liability insurance is in place for the benefit of the directors and officers, former directors and officers of Petrofund Corp. and every person who acts or acted at its request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which Petrofund Corp. is or was a shareholder or creditor, and their respective heirs and legal representatives, in the amount of Cdn$40,000,000 subject to a deductible.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
