Formation Fluid Management Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FFM) ("Formation Fluid" or "the
Company") announced today that further to its news release on April 20, 2012,
the Company has received a Statement of Claim from Maple Leaf Development
Corporation ("Maple Leaf") commencing legal action in the Court of Queen's Bench
Alberta against the Company. Maple Leaf alleges that the Company has breached an
agreement between the Company and Maple Leaf granting Maple Leaf the right,
subject to their ability to provide competitive manufacturing services to the
Company, to be the single source manufacturer and supplier of a mobile-produced
water processing plant.


Maple Leaf is claiming it has suffered damages in the amount of $2,400,000 for
loss of profit due to the alleged breach of the agreement by the Company. In
addition, Maple Leaf is seeking an interim or permanent injunction to prevent
the Company from manufacturing or causing to be manufactured the mobile-produced
water processing plant itself. 


The Company is currently reviewing the Statement of Claim and intends to
vigorously defend the allegations. The Company is of the view that the
allegations of Maple Leaf are wholly without merit and that Maple Leaf was given
the opportunity to provide the manufacturing services in question. The Company
believes that, in proceeding to manufacture the plant itself, it has complied
with the terms of the agreement.


In light of these recent developments, the Company has determined that at this
time it will not proceed with its previously announced non-brokered private
placement of up to 15,000,000 units.
