This communication includes certain statements that may
constitute "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the federal
securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or
other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including any underlying assumptions. The words "anticipate,"
"believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intends,"
"may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict,"
"project," "should," "would" and similar expressions may identify
forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements may include, for example, statements about: KLRE's
ability to consummate the Business Combination and related private
placement; the benefits of the Business Combination; the future
financial performance of KLRE following the Business Combination;
changes in Tema's reserves and future operating results; and
expansion plans and opportunities. These forward-looking statements
are based on information available as of the date hereof, and
current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a
number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly,
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
representing KLRE's views as of any subsequent date, and KLRE does
not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements
to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required under applicable securities
laws. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, KLRE's actual results or
performance may be materially different from those expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that
could cause actual results to differ include: (i) the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could
delay the Business Combination or the private placement or give
rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement by
and between KLRE and Tema, dated as of December 20, 2016 (the "Business Combination
Agreement"); (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that
may be instituted against KLRE following announcement of the
Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby;
(iii) the inability to complete the Business Combination due
to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of KLRE,
or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination
Agreement; (iv) the risk that the Business Combination
disrupts current plans and operations of KLRE or Tema as a result
of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described
herein; (v) KLRE's ability to recognize the anticipated
benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by,
among other things, competition and the ability of KLRE to grow and
manage growth profitably following the Business Combination;
(vi) costs related to the Business Combination;
(vii) changes in applicable laws or regulations;
(viii) the possibility that KLRE or Tema may be adversely
affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors,
including, but not limited to, future trends in energy markets and
commodity prices; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties
described herein, as well as those risks and uncertainties
discussed from time to time in other reports and other public
filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") by KLRE.
Additional information concerning these and other factors that
may impact our expectations and projections can be found in our
periodic filings with the SEC, including our Registration

result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
