Litigation In addition to the matters described below, we may be subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations arising out of the Company’s operations in the normal course of business, which cover matters such as general commercial, governmental and trade regulations, product liability, environmental, intellectual property, employment and other actions. Although the outcomes of these routine claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $5,718 of revenue from customers with which we have pending litigation. As of March 31, 2019, $17,078 of accounts and unbilled receivables were from customers with which we have pending litigation. U.S. Well Services, LLC On January 14, 2019, Smart Sand, Inc. (plaintiff) filed suit against U.S. Well Services, LLC (defendant) in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (C.A. No. N19C-01-144-PRW [CCLD]). In the suit, plaintiff alleges that defendant is in breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due and payable under a long-term take-or-pay Master Product Purchase Agreement and coterminous Railcar Usage Agreement and is seeking unspecified monetary damages and other appropriate relief. Plaintiff is also seeking a declaratory judgment that the relevant agreements are continuing in full force and effect despite defendant’s purported notice of termination to the contrary. Defendant has filed an Amended Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim seeking unspecified monetary damages and declaratory relief. The Company intends to both vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against U.S. Well’s counterclaims. At this time, the Company is unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome of the matter. Amounts recorded as accounts and unbilled receivables in the financial statements do not represent the full amounts sought in this lawsuit. Schlumberger Technology Corporation On January 3, 2019, Smart Sand, Inc. (plaintiff) filed suit against Schlumberger Technology Corporation (defendant) in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2019-00557). In the suit, plaintiff alleges that defendant is in breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due and payable under a long-term take-or-pay Master Product Purchase Agreement and is seeking unspecified monetary damages and other appropriate relief. Defendant has filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim seeking unspecified monetary damages and declaratory relief. The Company intends to both vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against defendant’s counterclaims. At this time, the Company is unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome of the matter. Amounts recorded as accounts and unbilled receivables in the financial statements do not represent the full amounts sought in this lawsuit. The Company is periodically involved in litigation and claims incidental to its operation. Management believes that any pending litigation will not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.
