Reflects
the principal balance payable to Wells Fargo Foothill at December 31,
2007. Interest calculated on the Credit Facility is through
September 27, 2011 (the maturity date of the Credit Facility, which may be
extended to December 27, 2012 in the event the Convertible Notes are
entirely converted into equity, with no remaining cash payment obligations
or are refinanced with a maturity date not earlier than June 27,
2013).

|
We
have entered into swaps to hedge our exposure to natural gas price
fluctuations. As of December 31, 2007, fixed prices specified
by these swaps generally exceeded the market price, resulting in a current
unrealized gain of $1.76 million and long-term unrealized loss of $0.18
million. If market prices are higher than the contract
prices when the cash settlement amount is calculated, we are required to
pay the contract counterparties. While such payments generally
will be funded by higher prices received from the sale of our production,
timing differences between our receipt of sales from production and
payment due to counterparties can result in draws on our revolving Credit
Facility.
|

|
We
have entered firm transportation contracts with various pipelines for
various terms through 2013. Under these contracts, we are
obligated to transport minimum daily gas volumes, as calculated on a
monthly basis, or pay for any deficiencies at a specified
rate. We also have field gathering, compression and
transportation agreements that contain financial obligations requiring a
minimum level of fees through a fixed
period.

The
liability method to account for options granted to U.S. employees in
Canadian dollars. Under this method, we record a liability for
vested options equal to the value of such vested options

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 and
options granted to U.S. employees in U.S. dollars. We calculate
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
liability method to account for options granted to U.S. employees in
Canadian dollars. Under this method, we record a liability for
vested options equal to the value of such 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 and
options granted to U.S. employees in U.S. dollars. We calculate
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.

amounts represent the portion of the fair value of RSUs recognized as
expense during 2007 for financial statement reporting purposes,
disregarding the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting
conditions, but otherwise computed in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,
“Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), converted into US dollars based on
the average exchange rate for 2007 of C$1.00: US$0.93565. The amounts do

On
May 18, 2007, the Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement
(the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Zimmerman. Pursuant to
the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to accelerate Mr. Zimmerman’s
outstanding unvested stock options and agreed to extend the expiration
date of Mr. Zimmerman’s options from 90 days after the effective date of
Mr. Zimmerman’s expiration of his term as a director as set forth in the
original terms of the option award until the original expiration date of
each of the options. As a result of such modifications, the
options set forth below were subject to the retirement eligibility
provisions of SFAS 123R, which resulted in acceleration of expense
recognition of $246,787 converted into US dollars based on the average
exchange rate for 2007 of C$1.00: US$0.93565. The incremental fair value,
computed as of the modification date in accordance with SFAS 123R, with
respect to the modified options is $392,522, converted into US dollars
based on the average exchange rate for 2007 of C$1.00:
US$0.93565.

All

|
Options
are granted with an exercise price in Canadian dollars and based on the
closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the date

amounts shown here reflect a conversion from Canadian dollars to U.S.
dollars based on the exchange rate on the date of the original

exercised. Options may terminate earlier in certain
circumstances, such as in connection with a named executive officer’s

converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate

amount realized on the vesting of RSUs for each of the named executive

realized was computed by multiplying the number of RSUs by the market
value of the Company’s common shares underlying the RSUs on the TSX on the
vesting date (or the next trading day as applicable). The value
of the Company’s common shares at vesting is based on the closing market
price of our common shares and converted from Canadian dollars to U.S.
dollars based on the exchange rate on the date of
vesting.

that such transaction comes to the attention of such authorized
officer.

An
authorized officer may present any such transaction arising in the time
period between meetings of the Audit Committee to the Chair of the Audit
Committee, who shall review and may approve such transaction, subject to

the transaction, by the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee
meeting.

inconsistent with, the best interests of the

The
liability method to account for options granted to U.S. employees in
Canadian dollars. Under this method, we record a liability for
vested options equal to the value of such 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 and
options granted to U.S. employees in U.S. dollars. We calculate
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

control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules

be established and maintained, for the registrant and
have:
|
a)
|
Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
|
b)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purpose
in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles;
|
c)
|
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures
and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period
covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and
|
d)
|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent
fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting; and
|
5.
|
The
registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):
|
a)
|
All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial information;
and
|
b)
|
Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control
over financial reporting.
