In some circumstances,
presentation has been changed to minimize the use of non-GAAP measures.
(1) Calculated based on distributions paid
or payable. Cash distributions to unitholders per unit will not correspond to
the actual monthly distributions of $5.04 as a result of using the
annual weighted average trust units outstanding.
(2) Based on annual weighted average
trust units outstanding.
(3) Calculated as Cash Distributions to
Unitholders divided by Cash Flow from Operating Activities.
(4) Non-cash amounts have been excluded.
(5) Net of oil and gas transportation
costs, but before the effects of commodity derivative instruments.
(6) Reserve figures are calculated based
upon company interest reserves using forecast prices and costs.
(7) Based upon proved plus probable
company interest reserves.
|
We continued to reinvest a significant amount of cash flow into our assets.
|
Cash distributions to unitholders increased by more than 13% per unit in 2006.
