NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
Tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per-share amounts (unaudited)
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Storm Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or "Storm"), is a crude oil and natural gas exploration and development company incorporated in the province of Alberta, Canada on June 8, 2010 and is listed on the TSX under the symbol “SRX”. The Company operates primarily in the province of British Columbia and its head office is located at Suite 600, 215 – 2[nd] Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 1M4. The Company became a reporting issuer in August 2010.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) include the accounts of Storm and its wholly owned subsidiary, Storm Gas Resource Corp. All inter-entity transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Storm’s operations are viewed as a single operating segment by the chief decision maker of the Company for the purpose of resource allocation and assessing asset performance.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. All financial information is reported in thousands of Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2020.
Basis of Measurement
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis consistent with prior years, and follow the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value, as explained in Note 12.
Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reviewed with the financial statement effect being recognized in the reporting period that the changes to estimates are made.
Critical judgments applied by management to accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the financial statements are described in Note 5 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. The rapid outbreak and subsequent measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19 have contributed to a significant increase in economic uncertainty, with more volatile commodity prices, currency exchange rates and interest rates. The duration and severity of the business disruptions and reduction in consumer activity internationally and the resulting financial effect is difficult to reliably estimate. The results of the economic downturn and any potential resulting direct or indirect
37
effect on the Company has been considered in management’s estimates at period end. However, there could be further prospective material effects in future periods.

As at December 31, 2019, the balance of assets under construction not subject to depreciation or depletion was $65.0 million and related to the construction of a gas plant at Nig, located in northeast British Columbia. During the first quarter of 2020, construction of the Nig Gas Plant was completed and the gas plant became operational on February 22, 2020 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 35 years.
5. BANK INDEBTEDNESS
As at March 31, 2020, the Company had an extendible revolving credit facility in the amount of $205 million (December 31, 2019 – $205 million) based on a bank determined borrowing base related to the Company’s producing reserves. The credit facility is available to the Company until May 29, 2020 and the annual review process is currently underway with completion expected on or before the aforementioned date. In the ordinary course of business the Company will have the option to extend the facility for an additional year. If the credit facility is not extended, the facility moves into a term phase whereby the outstanding loan amount is to be repaid in full one year later. In the event that the lenders reduce the borrowing base below the amount drawn, the Company would have 90 days to eliminate any borrowing base shortfall by repaying the amount drawn in excess of the re-determined borrowing base or by providing additional security or other consideration satisfactory to the lenders. Repayments of principal are not required provided that the borrowings under the credit facility do not exceed the authorized borrowing amount. Interest is paid on the utilized portion of the credit facility at bankers’ acceptance rates, plus a stamping fee. Collateral comprises a floating charge demand debenture on the assets of the Company.
38
At March 31, 2020, debt including outstanding letters of credit amounted to $135.1 million, representing approximately 66% of the available credit facility.
As at March 31, 2020, the Company had issued letters of credit in the amount of $10.3 million (December 31, 2019 - $10.0 million) in support of future natural gas transportation and processing obligations.

As at March 31, 2020, the total undiscounted amount of the estimated future cash flows to settle the Company’s lease liability over the remaining lease term is $3.1 million.
Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, short-term lease costs of approximately $0.5 million (March 31, 2019 - $1.7 million) were incurred primarily relating to the lease of drilling equipment which was captured within property and equipment costs.
8 . DECOMMISSIONING LIABILITY
The Company provides for the future cost of decommissioning crude oil and natural gas production assets, including well sites, gathering systems and facilities. The total decommissioning liability is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in wells and facilities, the estimated costs to abandon and reclaim the wells, gathering systems and facilities and the estimated timing of future costs. The total estimated inflated and undiscounted liability required to settle the Company’s decommissioning obligation is approximately $33.3 million (December 31, 2019 - $38.3 million), with the majority of payments being made in the years 2034 to 2054. A risk-free discount rate of 1.4% (December 31, 2019 – 1.7%) and an inflation rate of 0.8% (December 31, 2019 – 1.4%) was used to calculate the present value of the decommissioning obligation, amounting to $26.8 million at March 31, 2020.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the carrying amount of the obligation:
| Three Months Ended | Year Ended | |

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock option plan under which it may grant, at the Company’s discretion, options to purchase common shares to directors, officers and employees. Options are granted at the volume weighted average price of the shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant, have a four-year term and vest in one-third tranches over three years. Under the stock option plan, at March 31, 2020, a total of 12,155,681 common shares were available for issuance, options in respect of 10,212,100 common shares were issued and outstanding and options in respect of 1,943,581 common shares were available for future issue.
At May 12, 2020, the date of this quarterly report, options in respect of 10,235,100 common shares were issued and outstanding and options in respect of 1,920,581 common shares are available for future issue.
Details of the options outstanding at March 31, 2020 are as follows:

| Total | 10,212 | 2.3 | $ 2.74 | 4,666 | $ 3.82 |
The fair value of employee stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility, forfeiture rate, weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
The weighted average inputs used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $0.58 per share include the following:
| 2020 | |
|---|---|
| Share price | $1.57 |
| Exercise price | $1.57 |
| Volatility | 48% |
| Forfeiture rate | 2% |
| Expected option life (years) | 3.7 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.4% |
Share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million was charged to the consolidated statement of income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019 - $0.6 million) with an equivalent offset to contributed surplus.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments include accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank indebtedness and risk management contracts.
Storm classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.
-
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide continual and verifiable pricing information.
-
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities and interest rates, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
-
Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying value of bank indebtedness approximates its fair value as it bears interest at market rates. The fair value of the Company’s risk management contracts described below is based on forward prices of commodities and interest rates available in the marketplace and they are therefore classified as Level 2 financial instruments. The Company does not have any financial instruments classified as Level 3 and there were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company’s risk management contracts are subject to master netting agreements that create a legally enforceable right to offset by counterparty the related financial assets and financial liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. The following is a summary of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to offset as at March 31, 2020:
| Gross Amounts | Gross Amounts | Net Amounts | |

Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable tend to be concentrated with a limited number of marketers of the Company’s production as well as joint venture partners and are subject to normal industry credit risk. Receivables from crude oil and natural gas marketers are typically collected on or about the 25[th] of the following month. The Company's production is sold to organizations whose credit worthiness is in part assessable from publicly available information. As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s three major energy customers with investment grade credit ratings, accounted for $10.4 million (March 31, 2019 - $19.0 million) of total receivables and 98% of total revenues (March 31, 2019 – 81% from two major customers). Where operations involve partners in a joint venture, the Company attempts to mitigate the risk from joint venture receivables by obtaining pre-approval and cash call deposits from its partners in advance of significant capital expenditures. Receivables from joint ventures are typically collected within one to three months of the joint venture bill being issued. As at March 31, 2020, there were no receivables outstanding for more than 60 days. No material default on outstanding receivables is anticipated as none of the Company’s outstanding receivables are considered past due at March 31, 2020.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at March 31, 2020 was the carrying amount of accounts receivable of $20.5 million and risk management contract assets of $11.8 million. No receivables were impaired at March 31, 2020.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company uses risk management contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, by fixing prices of future deliveries of crude oil and natural gas and thus providing stability of funds flow. Although the Company had no crude oil production at March 31, 2020, part of its condensate and NGL stream is sold at a price based on crude oil. Accordingly, a financial investment based on crude oil is used as a proxy for the Company’s condensate and NGL stream. At the date of this report, the Company had entered into the following outstanding financial risk management contracts in place to manage commodity price risk:

Risk Management
Risk management contracts may be used by the Company to manage exposure to market risks related to commodity prices, exchange rates and interest rates. The use of financial risk management contracts is governed by Storm’s Board of Directors and follows guidelines and limits approved by the Board. Storm does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. All derivative contracts are classified at fair value through profit and loss and measured at fair value, with gains and losses on re-measurement included as a component of unrealized risk management contracts in the period in which they arise.
The fair market value of these risk management contracts at March 31, 2020 was a net asset position of $8.6 million (December 31, 2019 – net liability position of $1.8 million) and is included on the balance sheet as either a risk management asset or liability and is classified as current or non-current based on the contractual terms specific to the instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, this resulted in an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $10.5 million (March 31, 2019 - unrealized mark-to-market loss of $4.8 million) when measured against the fair market value at the end of the preceding reporting period. These amounts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
The Company realized a gain from risk management price contracts in place in the amount of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019 – realized loss of $9.6 million).
Sensitivities
The following table summarizes the effects of movement in commodity prices and interest rates on net income due to changes in the fair value of risk management contracts in place at March 31, 2020. Changes in the fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in an assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.
