Disclaimer
  • Except for historical financial information
    contained herein, the matters discussed in this
    presentation may be considered forward-looking
    statements. Such statements include declarations
    regarding management's intent, belief or current
    expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned
    that any such forward-looking statements are not
    guarantees of future performance and involve a
    number of risks and uncertainties actual results
    could differ materially from those indicated by
    such forward-looking statements. Among the
    important factors that could cause actual results
    to differ materially from those indicated by such
    forward-looking statements are (i) that the
    information is of a preliminary nature and may be
    subject to further adjustment, (ii) the possible
    unavailability of financing, (iii) risks related
    to the exploration and development of oil and gas
    properties, (iv) the impact of price fluctuations
    and the demand and pricing for oil and natural
    gas, (v) the seasonal nature of the business,
    (vi) start-up risks, (vii) general operating
    risks, (viii) dependence on third parties, (ix)
    changes in government regulation, (x) the effects
    of competition, (xi) dependence on senior
    management, (xii) financial condition of real
    estate tenants and financial services
    counterparts, (xiii) impact of the Canadian
    economic conditions or the demand for real estate
    leasing opportunities, and (xiv) fluctuations in
    currency exchange rates and interest rates.
  • Funds from operations, funds from operations per
    unit, net back and working capital (net debt) are
    not recognized measures under Canadian generally
    accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Funds
    from operations is calculated by taking cash
    provided by operating activities on the statement
    of cash flows adjusted for the effect of changes
    in non-cash working capital and asset retirement
    costs incurred. See page 8 for the quantitative
    reconciliation of funds from operations. Working
    capital (net debt) is calculated by taking
    current assets less current liabilities including
    mortgages. Operating netbacks per BOE equal
    total petroleum and natural gas revenue net of
    transportation expenses and realized gains on
    commodity contracts per BOE less royalties per
    BOE and operating expenses per BOE. Operating
    netbacks as used in the MDA do not have any
    standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore may
    not be comparable with the calculation of similar
    measures of other entities. Operating netbacks
    are a useful measure to compare the Trusts
    operations with those of its peers). Management
    believes that these measures are useful
    supplemental measures to analyze operating
    performance as they demonstrate the Trusts
    ability to generate the funds from operations
    necessary to fund future distributions and
    capital investments. The Trusts method of
    calculating these measures may differ from other
    issuers, and accordingly, they may not be
    comparable to measures used by other issuers.
    Investors should be cautioned that Funds from
    operations and Funds from operations per unit
    should not be construed as an alternative to net
    income, cash flow from operating activities or
    other measures of financial performance
    calculated in accordance with GAAP. Distribution
    Payout Ratio is calculated by dividing the
    Distributions by the Funds from operations.

Strategy
  • Prudent cash flow payout strategy allows for the
    management of sustainable distributions
  • Through diversification, AVF.UN is able to
    allocate resources and take advantage of
    opportunities in each segment
  • Target quality trustable assets for acquisition
    (too small to become trusts independently)
  • Accretively grow each segment to generate steady
    income and capital appreciation
  • Build each business unit to a size of
    independence for possible divestment
  • Each business unit operates independently like a
    trust on their own with significant input at the
    Trust level
