|
The
liability method to account for options granted to U.S. employees.
The Company began using this method in 2007. Under this
method, Storm Cat records a liability for vested
options as calculated by the Black-Scholes model using the
option exercise price and the fair value per share of the common
stock
underlying the option as of the measurement
date.
|
•
|
The
equity method to account for options granted to Canadian employees.
The Company calculates the expense under this method based on the
Black-Scholes value of the option at the date of the
grant. This expense is recorded in equal amounts as the
options vest; typically over two years.

The
Company actively manages its exposure to commodity price fluctuations
by
hedging meaningful portions of expected production through the
use of
derivatives. A detailed hedging policy and procedures are outlined
in the Company’s Hedging Policy, and are overseen by Storm Cat's Hedging
Committee.
|
|
·
|
Storm
Cat has a multi-year inventory of drilling locations associated
with its
CBM and shale assets, allowing it the opportunity to grow reserves
and
replace and expand production
organically.
|
|
·
|
The
Company has put in place a Delegation of Authority policy outlining
the
hierarchy of authorization for expenditures and commitments and
to provide
checks and balances.
|
|
·
|
A
comprehensive Authorization for Expenditure policy allows for the
tracking
of all significant capital expenditures so that budget to actual
integrity
can be monitored and maintained.
|
|
·
|
Storm
Cat uses third party engineering to evaluate acquisitions and estimate
year-end reserves. This provides an unbiased check against the
Company’s
internal evaluations.
|
|
·
|
Employees
and Directors sign a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which
contains a
Whistle Blower Policy with an anonymous hotline to the Audit Committee
Chair so that fraud or violation of the Company’s policies can be reported
immediately and appropriate action
taken.
|
|
·
|
The
Board of Directors for the Company includes a majority of independent
Board Members. The Audit and Compensation Committees are exclusively
independent directors. The Board and the Audit Committee meet a
minimum of
once each quarter. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the
auditors
in sessions where management is not
present.
