ARGENT ENERGY TRUST

N OTES TO THE I NTERIM C ONSOLIDATED F INANCIAL S TATEM ENTS For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 (tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except unit and per unit information) (unaudited)

1. R e p or t i n g E n ti t y Argent Energy Trust (the "Trust" or “Argent”) is an unincorporated open-ended limited purpose trust established under the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 31, 2012. The strategy of the Trust is to acquire non-Canadian oil and gas assets in order to generate returns for its unitholders. The Trust intends to make monthly distributions of a portion of its available cash to unitholders and will reinvest remaining cash into its subsidiaries for the purposes of acquiring non-Canadian oil and gas assets, and investing in capital expenditures. Cash flow is generated by the Trust through the oil and gas assets owned and operated by the subsidiaries of the Trust. The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Trust are located at Suite 500, 321 - 6th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3H3. Pursuant to the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement, Argent Energy Ltd. (the "Administrator"), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Alberta on June 9, 2011, is the Administrator of the Trust and performs all general and administrative services that are or may be required or advisable, from time to time, for the Trust. 2. B a si s of P r e p ar a t i o n Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on November 11, 2013. These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for income tax expense for an interim period which is based on an estimated average annual effective income tax rate. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB. These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CDN”), which is the Trust’s functional currency. All financial information is rounded to the nearest thousands, except per unit amounts and where otherwise indicated. The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financials for the year ended December 31, 2012. 3. S i g ni f i c a n t a c c o u n ti n g p ol i c i e s New IFRS policies

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following standards and amendments which have been adopted as of January 1, 2013. No restatement of financial statement line items was required as a result of the adoption of the following policies.

3. S i g ni f i c a n t a c c o u n ti n g p ol i c i e s ( c o n t i n u e d ) IFRS 10 – Consolidation IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Under the previous IFRS, consolidation is required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities, and parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venturer will recognize its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation. Under the previous IFRS, entities had the choice to proportionately consolidate or equity account for interests in joint ventures. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities—Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, is a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement and disclosure for use across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. Under the previous IFRS, guidance on measuring and disclosing fair value is dispersed among the specific standards requiring fair value measurements and does not always reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent disclosures. Amendment standards issued but not yet effective

In May 2013, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The overall effect of the amendments is to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where the recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. Financial liabilities

The Trust has designated its convertible debentures (note 11) as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. As such, the convertible debentures are recorded at their fair value, and are marked to market at each financial reporting date. Changes in the fair value due to changes in market risks are recorded through income and loss, and changes in fair value due to changes in the Trust’s internal credit risk is recognized through other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income related to credit risk are not subject to recycling to the income statement. The fair value of the convertible debentures is determined based on their closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

N OTES TO THE I NTERIM C ONSOLIDATED F INANCIAL S TATEM ENTS For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 (tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except unit and per unit information) (unaudited)

3. S i g ni f i c a n t a c c o u n ti n g p ol i c i e s ( c o n t i n u e d ) The convertible debentures are classified entirely as a liability because in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instrument Presentation, the redemption features in the Trust’s units preclude the conversion from qualifying as an equity instrument. All transaction costs related to financial instruments designated as FVTPL are expensed as incurred. Changes in fair value due to changes in the Trust’s internal credit risk is estimated using a pricing model based on a discounted cash flow utilizing risk free rate, the trading price, and volatility of the Trust’s units and convertible debentures. 4. F i n a n ci a l R i s k M a n a g e m e n t Overview: The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks that arise as a result of its operating, investing, and financing activities such as: •

Credit risk;



Liquidity risk;



Price risk; and



Foreign exchange risk

This note presents information about significant changes in the Trust’s exposure to each of the above risks since the year ended December 31, 2012.

As at September 30, 2013, there is a working capital deficiency of $33,783,000 due to current assets being less than current liabilities. This deficit will be financed with the Company’s revolving credit facility which has a remaining credit limit of US$96,500,000. Market risk:

Market risk is the potential for loss to the Trust from changes in the values of its financial instruments due to changes in commodity prices, securities prices, credit risk, interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The Trust may use both financial derivatives and physical delivery sales contracts to manage market risks. All such transactions are conducted within risk management tolerances that are reviewed by the Board of Directors. Commodity Price Risk Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for oil and natural gas are impacted by not only the relationship between the Canadian and United States dollar, but also world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.

N OTES TO THE I NTERIM C ONSOLIDATED F INANCIAL S TATEM ENTS For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 (tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except unit and per unit information) (unaudited)

4. F i n a n ci a l R i s k M a n a g e m e n t ( c o n t i n u e d ) The Trust may enter into certain financial derivative instruments periodically to economically hedge some oil and natural gas sales through the use of various financial derivative forward sales contracts and physical sales contracts. The Trust does not apply hedge accounting for these contracts. The Trust’s production is usually sold using “spot” or near term contracts, with prices fixed at the time of transfer of custody or on the basis of a monthly average market price. The Trust, however, may give consideration in certain circumstances to the appropriateness of entering into long term, fixed price marketing contracts. As at September 30, 2013, the Trust has entered into the following financial contracts to mitigate the effects of fluctuating prices on a portion of its production as follows: Commodity Costless collars

(375) (750) (1,069)

The total fair value of the Trust’s unrealized risk management positions at September 30, 2013, was a net liability of $1,732,000 (December 31, 2012 – net liability of $1,069,000) and has been calculated using both quoted prices in active markets and observable market-corroborated data. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Trust recorded a loss of $5,160,000 (September 30, 2012 –$293,000) and $2,190,000 (September 30, 2012 – $293,000), respectively, on its risk management positions of which $4,014,000 (September 30, 2012 $293,000) and $623,000 (September 30, 2012 - $293,000), respectively, was unrealized. Securities price risk The Trust’s convertible debentures are subject to securities price risk as they are traded on a public exchange. As at September 30, 2013, had the securities price of the convertible debentures increased or decreased by 1%, net income would have decreased or increased by approximately $867,000. Foreign exchange risk The Trust has entered into a number of CDN/US$ forward swap contracts on US$1.0 million per month from July to June 2014 at an average rate of US $1.00 = CDN $1.0369. The average exchange rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was US $1 equal to $1.0386 and $1.0236, respectively. A $0.01 increase (decrease) in the value of Cdn versus US$ on September 30, 2013 would have decreased (increased) profit or loss by approximately $2.5 million due to the unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain) from the Trust’s inter-company loan to its US subsidiary of approximately US$250 million. Under IFRS, this inter-company loan is not part of the net investment in the subsidiary and any period end foreign exchange translation adjustment is required to be recorded in income or loss. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements Level 2 fair value measurements are based on inputs other than quoted prices within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 financial instruments have been valued indirectly through calculations based on market information. The Trust’s derivative contracts were measured based on quotes from the Trust's counterparties. Such quotes have been derived using valuation models that consider various inputs including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward prices for natural gas and crude oil, volatility factors and interest rates. Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Level 3 fair value measurements are based on models using significant unobservable inputs.

6. A c q ui s i t i o n a n d B u s i n e ss C o m bi n a t i o n s Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated July 12, 2013, the Trust purchased producing petroleum properties in Kansas and Colorado (the “Kansas Assets”) from a private company for total cash consideration (including closing adjustments) of $45,797,000. The acquisition had an effective date of June 1, 2013, and was closed on September 5, 2013. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows: Oil and gas assets

The amounts of revenue, net of royalties, since the Kansas Assets’ acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.8 million. Had this transaction closed on January 1, 2013 the additional revenue, net of royalties, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, would have been approximately $1.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively. It is impracticable to determine the net income in the current reporting period had this transaction closed on January 1, 2013. The effect of retrospective application of IFRS policies is not determinable and requires significant estimates of amounts and information that were not readily available. The above amounts are estimates, which were made by management at the time of preparation of these financial statements based on information then available. Amendments may be made to these amounts as values subject to estimate and post-closing adjustments are finalized.

The credit facility has a maturity date of August 12, 2015. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Trust increased the credit limit on its credit facility from US$115 million to US$160 million. 1 1. C o n v er t i bl e d e b e n t ur e s On June 4, 2013, the Trust issued $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) due June 30, 2018 at a price of $1,000 per debenture. On June 12, 2013, the trust issued an additional $11,250,000 principal amount of Debentures upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Debentures pay interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, payable on a semi-annual basis on June 30 and December 31 of each year, maturing on June 30, 2018. Interest payments will commence on December 31, 2013. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into trust units at a fixed conversion price of $13.90 per unit, on or after June 30, 2016 until their maturity date. The Debentures are convertible at the Trust’s option on or after June 30, 2016 until their maturity date at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Trust’s units on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the conversion price.

1 9. S u b s e q u e n t e v e n t s ( c o n t i n u e d ) Business combination

On October 25, 2013, the Trust closed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire producing petroleum properties in Wyoming (the "Wyoming Assets") from a private company. The purchase price was approximately US$102 million, (net of closing adjustments). The Trust is currently in the process of assessing the financial effects of this transaction. It is impracticable to determine the additional revenue, net of royalties, and net income in the current reporting period had this transaction closed on January 1, 2013. The effect of retrospective application of IFRS policies is not determinable and requires significant estimates of amounts and information that are not currently available. The above amounts are estimates, which were made by management at the time of preparation of these financial statements based on information then available. Amendments may be made to these amounts as values subject to estimate and post-closing adjustments are finalized. Bought deal financing

On October 31, 2013, the Trust issued $60 million principal 6.50% convertible unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) on a bought deal basis (the "Offering"). The underwriters have also been granted an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from closing of the Offering, to purchase up to $9 million additional principle 6.50% Debentures. If the over-allotment option is fully exercised, gross proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $69 million. Net proceeds from the Offering were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the Trust's existing credit facility which indebtedness was incurred to purchase the Wyoming Assets, described above. Credit facility

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Trust increased the credit limit on its credit facility from US$115 million to US$160 million.
