The franchise expires on December 31, 2017 and the patents have a remaining legal life of 6 years with an estimated useful life of 4 years.

On July 1, 2015, Lagina paid $20,000 to successfully defend its patent.

During 2015, Lagina incurred $800,000 of experimental and development costs to develop a new drilling methodology.

The patent has a legal and estimated useful life of 7 years.

Due to a change in the local regulatory climate, at the end of 2015, after recording amortization, Lagina determined it was necessary to assess impairment on the franchise. At December 31, expected future cash flows are $150,000 and estimated fair value is $130,000.
