Legal Proceedings. The Company is subject to the risk of litigation, claims and assessments that may arise in the ordinary course of its business activities, including contractual matters and regulatory proceedings. On September 30, 2016 plaintiff Eric Langan et al. filed a complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court for common law fraud under Arizona law against Arête Industries, Inc., Don and Jane Doe Prosser, and Charles and Jane Doe Davis. The action was removed to federal court on November 17, 2016, civil action number 16 – 03994 – PHX – SPL. On September 1, 2017 a judgment was entered in favor of the defendants and against plaintiffs and the case was dismissed.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company was not subject to any pending litigation and management is not currently aware of any asserted or unasserted claims and assessments that may impact the Company's future results of operations.
