Algonquin
Power Income Fund Announces Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
November 15, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario – Algonquin Power Income Fund (TSX: APF.UN
and APF.DB) today announced financial results for the third quarter
of 2006, ended September 30, 2006.
For the third quarter, revenue grew to $51.1 million as compared
to $42.8 million in the third quarter of 2005. The third quarter
increase in revenue is primarily due to the acquisition of the St.
Leon Wind Energy facility (“St. Leon”), continued growth
in the Infrastructure Division combined with the positive impact
of facilities that were purchased during 2005, and increased energy
production in the hydroelectric division. Additionally in the third
quarter, the Alternative Fuels Division experienced increased volumes
of waste processed at the Energy-from-Waste facility compared to
the third quarter of 2005.
Net earnings in the third quarter of 2006 were $5.0 million compared
to $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net earnings per
trust unit in the third quarter of 2006 were $0.07, compared to
$0.14 in the same period in 2005. The decrease in net earnings for
the third quarter is attributed to lower unrealized foreign exchange
gains on US dollar denominated debt, increased expected future income
taxes, and increased interest expense, partially offset by additional
profits earned from the newly acquired facilities including St.
Leon and Rio Rico.
Cash available for distribution in the third quarter of 2006 was
$17.6 million or $0.23 per unit compared to $14.6 million or $0.21
per unit in the third quarter of 2005. During the third quarter,
Algonquin Power Income Fund distributed $0.23 per trust unit, consistent
with the amount distributed during the same period in 2005.
At the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Fund successfully
completed the offer to indirectly acquire all of the outstanding
limited partnership units of AirSource Power Fund I LP (“AirSource”).
AirSource and its affiliates constructed the St. Leon facility,
a 99 megawatt facility located near the Town of St. Leon, Manitoba.
The facility is the first wind farm in the province of Manitoba,
and one of the largest wind turbine farms in Canada to date.
Performance Summary for the third quarter of 2006:
- Revenue of $51.1 million in Q3 2006 compared to $42.8 million
in Q3 2005.
- Net earnings of $5.0 million ($0.07 per trust unit) in Q3 2006
compared to $9.5 million ($0.14 per trust unit) in Q3 2005.
- Cash available for distribution of $17.6 million ($0.23 per
trust unit) in Q3 2006 compared to $14.6 million ($0.21 per trust
unit) in Q3 2005. Distributions for the third quarter of both
2006 and 2005 were $0.23 per trust unit.
Performance Summary for the first nine months of 2006:
- Revenue of $147.7 million for the first nine months of 2006
compared to $128.4 million in the first nine months of 2005.
- Net earnings of $26.1 million ($0.37 per trust unit) for the
first nine months of 2006 compared to $12.9 million ($0.18 per
trust unit) for the first nine months of 2005.
- Cash available for distribution of $50.0 million ($0.70 per
trust unit) in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $45.1
million ($0.65 per trust unit) for the same period in 2005. Distributions
for the first nine months of both 2006 and 2005 were $0.69 per
trust unit.
“The manager of Algonquin Power Income Fund is pleased with
the results of the quarter, and the addition of wind energy generation
to the Fund through the newly acquired St. Leon Wind Energy facility”,
commented Chris Jarratt, a senior manager with the Fund. “Algonquin
Power Income Fund is a strong player in the Canadian investment
community, with a structure and strategy that has and continues
to provide unitholders with a stable investment opportunity backed
by long-lived, sustainable assets.”

Algonquin
Power Income Fund Announces Re-powering and Expansion Initiative
for a California Natural Gas Fired Generating Station
November 14, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario – Algonquin Power Income Fund (the "Fund")
announced today that it has approved plans for a re-development
of its 42MW natural gas powered generating station located in Sanger,
California which is expected to result in substantial improvement
in fuel efficiency and facility output.
The Sanger generating station is a combined cycle electrical generating
station currently powered by a Westinghouse W251 natural gas fired
turbine and a General Electric steam turbine. Electrical energy
and capacity produced by the facility are sold to Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (“PG&E”) pursuant to a long term
agreement ending in May, 2022. Payments under the power purchase
agreement consist of a monthly capacity payment and an energy payment
related to the cost of natural gas. While the facility has demonstrated
a successful operating history since its commissioning in 1991,
advances in general turbine technology provide an opportunity to
substantially improve the fuel efficiency and output of the facility.
Accordingly, the Fund has approved a plan to retrofit the Sanger
facility with a General Electric LM6000 turbine, estimated for completion
during the fourth quarter of 2007.
“The projected fuel and maintenance costs savings alone provide
an accretive investment opportunity for the Fund.” commented
Ian Robertson, a senior manager of the Fund. “Perhaps as importantly,
the broad industry support for the General Electric turbine will
substantially reduce operating risks for the Fund and the attractive
fuel efficiency of the LM6000 will allow the facility to participate
competitively in the electrical capacity market following the expiration
of the existing power purchase agreement in 2022.” he continued.
The projected cost of the retrofit program is approximately US$23
million. The layout of the Sanger facility will allow the installation
of the LM6000 turbine concurrently with continued operation of the
Westinghouse turbine prior to switchover to eliminate any expected
loss of capacity payments from PG&E during the construction
period. The higher electrical capacity of the LM6000 turbine will
allow total electric output of the Sanger facility to be increased
to approximately 56MW.

Algonquin Power
Income Fund Provides Update on Offering and Comments on Proposed
Taxation Changes
November 3, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario- Algonquin Power Income Fund (the “Fund”)
of Oakville, Ontario announced today that, in light of the recent
statements from the federal Minister of Finance respecting the taxation
of income trusts and the ensuing impact to the capital markets,
it has reconsidered completing at this time the offerings announced
October 12, 2006 for 6,440,000 trust units and $50,000,000 of convertible
unsecured debentures and remains in discussions with the underwriters
regarding same.
The Fund’s financing strategy involves periodic access of
the capital markets to repay indebtedness incurred in respect of
its continuing growth initiatives. The planned use of proceeds from
the proposed offerings was to retire a portion of such growth related
indebtedness. The Fund believes that completing such financings
is discretionary.
The Fund believes any impact on its unitholders of the proposed
taxation changes will be significantly mitigated due to the large
proportion of distributions which are a return of capital. Comprising
over 50% of the Fund’s 2005 distributions, such return of
capital is not subject to taxation under the proposed provisions.
“We believe that the capital markets appreciate the positive
impact enjoyed by our unitholders resulting from the high percentage
of distributions which constitute a return of capital.” commented
Ian Robertson, a senior manager for the Fund. “The long-lived
nature of the Fund’s growing portfolio of renewable assets
is expected to allow the Fund to continue to provide its unitholders
with this benefit following the proposed application of the tax
rule changes in four years.” he continued. Additionally, the
Fund receives a significant proportion of its income from U.S. based
assets, which income may not be subject to the application of the
proposed taxation rules.

Algonquin
Power Income Fund Announces Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results
August 9, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario - Algonquin Power Income Fund (TSX: APF.UN
and APF.DB) today announced financial results for the second quarter
of 2006, ended June 30, 2006.
For the second quarter, revenue grew to $47.1 million as compared
to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter
increase in revenue is primarily due to strong hydrology experienced
in the Hydroelectric Division and improved energy prices at the
Cogeneration Division’s Windsor Locks facility. Additionally
in the second quarter, the Alternative Fuels Division experienced
increased volumes of waste processed at the Energy from Waste facility
compared to the second quarter of 2005, and the Infrastructure Division
continued to see strong organic growth combined with the positive
impact of facilities that were purchased during 2005.
Net earnings in the second quarter of 2006 were $13.8 million compared
to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. Net earnings per
trust unit in the second quarter of 2006 increased to $0.19 from
$0.02 in the same period in 2005. The increase in net earnings for
the second quarter is attributed to higher quarterly revenue, an
unrealized foreign exchange gain on US dollar denominated debt,
a recovery of future income taxes, and increased interest and other
income on its investments in the Alternative Fuels Division.
Cash available for distribution in the second quarter of 2006 was
$16.0 million or $0.23 per unit compared to $16.7 million or $0.24
per unit in the second quarter of 2005. During the second quarter,
Algonquin Power Income Fund distributed $0.23 per trust unit, consistent
with the amount distributed during the same period in 2005.
At the end of the second quarter of 2006, the Fund successfully
completed an offer to indirectly acquire all of the outstanding
limited partnership units of AirSource Power Fund I LP (“AirSource”).
AirSource and its affiliates have constructed the St. Leon Wind
Energy facility, a 99 megawatt facility located near the Town of
St. Leon, Manitoba. The facility is the first wind farm in the province
of Manitoba, and one of the largest wind turbine farms in Canada
to date.
Performance Summary for the second quarter of 2006:
- Revenue of $47.1 million in Q2 2006 compared to $45.0 million
in Q2 2005.
- Net earnings of $13.8 million ($0.20 per trust unit) in Q2 2006
compared to $1.6 million ($0.02 per trust unit) in Q2 2005.
- Cash available for distribution of $16.0 million ($0.23 per
trust unit) in Q2 2006 compared to $16.7 million ($0.24 per trust
unit) in Q2 2005. Distributions for the second quarter of both
2006 and 2005 were $0.23 per trust unit.
Performance Summary for the first six months of 2006:
- Revenue of $96.6 million for the first six months of 2006 compared
to $85.6 million in the first six months of 2005.
- Net earnings of $21.2 million ($0.30 per trust unit) for the
first six months of 2006 compared to $3.4 million ($0.05 per trust
unit) for the first six months of 2005.
- Cash available for distribution of $32.4 million ($0.47 per
trust unit) in the first six months of 2006 compared to $30.5
million ($0.44 per trust unit) for the same period in 2005. Distributions
for both the first half of 2006 and 2005 were $0.46 per trust
unit.
“The Fund continues to focus on maintaining stable, predictable
cash distributions to unitholders, while maximizing the performance
of existing assets and seeking growth opportunities that complement
the Fund’s portfolio”, commented Chris Jarratt, a senior
manager with the Fund. “Significant growth of the Fund was
demonstrated through the acquisition of the St. Leon Wind Energy
facility at the end of the second quarter. This facility is an excellent
addition to the Fund’s Alternative Fuels Division and further
balances the Fund’s technologic, geographic and regional diversity.”

Algonquin Power
Income Fund Announces its Intention to Make an Offer to Acquire
AirSource Power Fund I LP
May 11, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario - Algonquin Power Income Fund
(“Algonquin”) announced today that it has entered into
a Support Agreement pursuant to which, Algonquin will cause its
affiliated entity, Algonquin (AirSource) Power LP (the “Offeror”)
to make an offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the
outstanding limited partnership units (the “AirSource Units”)
of AirSource Power Fund I LP (“AirSource”). The Offer
will be made by way of a take-over bid through the issuance of one
exchangeable limited partnership unit (an “Exchangeable Unit”)
of the Offeror for each AirSource Unit representing an equivalent
price of $10.00 per Unit, based on the volume weighted average price
of Algonquin’s trust units (the “Algonquin Units”)
on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 trading days ending May
9, 2006 and will be open for acceptance for 45 days from the date
of mailing of the Offer, unless withdrawn or extended.
Each Exchangeable Unit will be entitled, subject to available cash
in the Offeror, to receive monthly distributions equivalent to the
distributions paid on Algonquin Units and will be exchangeable by
the holder, at any time, into 0.9808 Algonquin Units. The Offer
will provide eligible holders of AirSource Units (“AirSource
Unitholders”) the opportunity to elect pursuant to subsection
97(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) if they wish to defer the recognition
of all or any portion of the capital gain which would otherwise
occur on the exchange of AirSource Units for Exchangeable Units.
The AirSource Independent Liquidity Committee (comprised of directors
of the AirSource general partner who are not related to Algonquin)
has determined that the Offer is in the best interests of AirSource
Unitholders and has received an opinion from CIBC World Markets
Inc. that the consideration offered pursuant to the Offer is fair,
from a financial point of view, to the AirSource Unitholders. The
Board of Directors of AirSource will recommend that AirSource Unitholders
accept the Offer. Notwithstanding their support for the Offer, the
Independent Liquidity Committee, with the assistance of Algonquin
as provided under the Support Agreement, has committed to solicit
alternative proposals from third parties including publicly-traded
income funds during the period the Offer is open for acceptance
and has reserved the right to consider any superior proposals which
may arise.
The Offer will be conditional upon, among other things, there
not occurring any material adverse change in the business, the St.
Leon wind energy facility (the “Project”), operations,
assets or liabilities of AirSource and/or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliated entities. The Offeror acknowledges that completion
of the Project has been delayed due to adverse weather conditions,
equipment delivery delays and construction completion difficulties
experienced by the turn-key construction contractor. While all wind
turbines comprising the Project have now been erected and individually
commissioned, a number of technical concerns remain to be addressed
by the turn-key construction contractor in respect of the construction
of the Project. The Offeror acknowledges that the Offer is being
made on an “as-is, where-is” basis with respect to the
status of the Project. Further, provided that and notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Project manifests additional problems that
have or could have a significant effect on the economic viability
of the Project, in the opinion of the Offeror, acting reasonably,
the Offeror shall have the right to assert that the same constitutes
a material adverse change.

Algonquin Power
Income Fund Announces First Quarter 2006 Financial Results
- Strong combined divisional performance contributes to growing
cash available for distribution
May 10, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario – Algonquin Power Income Fund (TSX: APF.UN
and APF.DB) today announced financial results for the first quarter
of 2006, ended March 31, 2006.
For the first quarter, revenue grew to $49.5 million as compared
to $40.6 million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 21%.
The first quarter increase in revenue is primarily due to strong
hydrology experienced in the Hydroelectric Division and a strong
performance by the Cogeneration Division. Additionally in the first
quarter, the Alternative Fuels Division experienced improved energy
production and higher levels of waste processed at the Energy from
Waste facility, and the Infrastructure Division continued to see
strong organic growth combined with the positive impact of facilities
that were purchased during 2005.
Net earnings in the first quarter of 2006 were $7.3 million compared
to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2005. Net earnings per
trust unit in the first quarter of 2006 increased to $0.11 from
$0.03 in the same period in 2005. The increase in net earnings for
the first quarter is attributed to higher revenue and higher interest
and other income from the Fund’s investment in AirSource Power
Fund I LP.
Cash available for distribution in the first quarter of 2006 increased
to $16.3 million or $0.23 per unit compared to $13.9 million or
$0.20 per unit in the first quarter of 2005. During the first quarter,
Algonquin Power Income Fund distributed $0.23 per trust unit, consistent
with the amount distributed during the same period in 2005.
Performance Summary for the first quarter of 2006:
- Revenue of $49.5 million in Q1 2006 compared to $40.6 million
in Q1 2005.
- Net earnings of $7.3 million ($0.11 per trust unit) in Q1 2006
compared to $1.8 million ($0.03 per trust unit) in Q1 2005.
- Cash available for distribution of $16.3 million in Q1 2006
compared to $13.9 million in Q1 2005.
- Cash available for distribution per trust unit of $0.23 in Q1
2006 compared to $0.20 per trust unit in Q1 2005.
“Strong combined performance of the Fund’s four divisions
has resulted in the achievement of stable cash distributions to
unitholders and growing cash available for distribution”,
stated Chris Jarratt, a senior manager with the Fund. “The
facilities acquired in 2005 have been successfully integrated into
the Fund’s operations and are now contributing to the Fund’s
overall success in the first quarter of 2006. The Fund will continue
to focus on growing its portfolio of generating and infrastructure
assets to diversify both technologically and geographically throughout
North America in order to maintain and improve the stability of
the Fund for unitholders.”

Algonquin Power
Income Fund Announces 2005 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results
Cash available for distribution shows continued
growth
March 8, 2006
OAKVILLE, Ontario - Algonquin Power Income Fund
(TSX: APF.UN and APF.DB) today announced results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.
For the year 2005, revenue grew to $179.3 million as compared to
$160.5 million in 2004, an 11.7% year over year increase. In the
fourth quarter of 2005 revenue grew to $50.9 million as compared
to $40.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The fourth quarter
increase is mainly due to strong hydrology experienced in the Hydroelectric
Division and improved production in the Cogeneration Division. Additionally
in the fourth quarter, the Alternative Fuels Division experienced
improved levels of energy production from the Energy from Waste
facility and the Infrastructure Division continued to see strong
organic growth and began to see benefits from the facilities acquired
during the year.
Net earnings in 2005 were $21.8 million compared to $22.8 million
for 2004. Net earnings per trust unit in 2005 decreased to $0.31
from $0.33 in 2004. The decline in net earnings is primarily attributed
to a write down related to the Crossroads facility including the
associated tax loss, lower unrealized foreign exchange gains in
2005 compared to 2004, and higher interest expenses in 2005 as compared
to 2004.
Cash available for distribution in 2005 increased to $64.9 million
or $0.93 per unit compared to $59.9 million or $0.87 per unit in
2004. Cash distributions in 2005 totaled $0.92 per trust unit, unchanged
from 2004. During the fourth quarter, Algonquin Power Income Fund
distributed $0.23 per trust unit, consistent with the same period
in 2004. Cash available for distribution for the quarter grew to
$19.5 million over the $12.7 million available for the fourth quarter
of 2004.
Performance Summary for the fourth quarter of 2005:
- Revenue increased to $50.9 million in Q4 2005 from $40.7 million
in Q4 2004.
- Net earnings of $8.9 million in Q4 2005 compared to $(0.1) million
in Q4 2004.
- Net earnings per trust unit of $0.12 in Q4 2005 compared to
$0.00 in Q4 2004.
- Cash available for distribution of $19.5 million ($0.28 per
trust unit) in Q4 2005 compared to $12.7 million ($0.18 per trust
unit) in Q4 2004. Distributions remained at $0.23 per trust unit
during the fourth quarter of both 2005 and 2004.
Performance Summary for the year 2005:
- Revenue increased to $179.3 million for the year 2005 compared
to $160.5 million in 2004.
- Net earnings of $21.8 million for 2005 compared to $22.8 million
for 2004.
- Net earnings per trust unit of $0.31 in 2005 compared to $0.33
in 2004.
- The Fund generated $0.93 per trust unit of cash available for
distribution for 2005 compared to $0.87 for 2004. Distributions
remained at $0.92 per unit for both 2005 and 2004.
“Algonquin Power Income Fund is very pleased with the achievements
of the Fund throughout 2005”, commented Chris Jarratt, a senior
manager with the Fund. “Strong performance results were achieved
by key assets within the Cogeneration and Infrastructure Divisions,
along with strong overall performance for the year in the Hydroelectric
Division and increased investment income in Alternative Fuels. The
positive performance from each division contributed to the Fund
achieving record levels of distributable cash in 2005. The importance
of developing and maintaining a stable, well diversified portfolio
of assets continues to be a priority for the Fund with efforts over
the past few years resulting in a strong, balanced Fund moving into
2006 and beyond.”
