Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC

Since October 2012, DPTS has been involved in litigation with TJMD, LLP, a North Dakota limited liability partnership (TJMD) arising out of the termination of TJMD as operator of the transloading facility, in which DPTS leases the facility for the use and benefit of their business. TJMD alleges that a wrongful termination without cause on 90 days written notice occurred in June 2012 under the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and a second wrongful termination occurred in September 2012, when DPTS finally terminated the contract before the end of the 90 day period. TJMD is seeking payment for work performed prior to the final September termination, as well as, monetary damages for future losses and other relief. Because the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, DPTS cannot estimate the possible loss or range of loss for this matter. DPTS intends to vigorously defend against this claim. As of September 30, 2014 and December31, 2013, DPTS has not recorded any accruals associated with this legal claim.

At September 30, 2014, $13,720 of the other receivables balance was attributed to the net asset relating to the amount of cost that DPTS expects to recover from the third parties responsible for causing the incidents on its property in excess of the estimated amount of cost that it reasonably expects to pay for cleanup measures.
