Quarterly Report
The following review of the Trust's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. The discussion of net production attributable to the Hugoton and San Juan properties represents production volumes that are to a large extent hypothetical as the Trust does not own and is not entitled to any specific production volumes. See Note 7 to the financial statements in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Any discussion of "actual" production volumes represents the hydrocarbons that were produced from the properties in which the Trust has an overriding royalty interest.
The Trust is a passive entity whose purposes are limited to: (1) converting
the Royalties to cash, either by retaining them and collecting the proceeds of
production (until production has ceased or the Royalties are otherwise
terminated) or by selling or otherwise disposing of the Royalties; and
(2) distributing such cash, net of amounts for payments of liabilities to the
Trust, to the unitholders. The Trust has no sources of liquidity or capital
resources other than the revenues, if any, attributable to the Royalties and
interest on cash held by the Trustee as a reserve for liabilities or for
distribution.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including without
limitation the statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements.
Although the Working Interest Owners have advised the Trust that they believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained
herein are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will
prove correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in this
Form 10-Q and in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008, including under "Item 1A. Risk Factors." All subsequent

SUMMARY OF ROYALTY INCOME, PRODUCTION AND AVERAGE PRICES
(Unaudited)
Royalty income is computed after deducting the Trust's proportionate share
of capital costs, operating costs and interest on any cost carryforward from the
Trust's proportionate share of "Gross Proceeds," as defined in the Conveyance.
The following summary illustrates the net effect of the components of the actual
Royalty computation for the periods indicated:

º As a result of excess production costs incurred in one monthly operating
period and then recovered in a subsequent monthly operating period(s), the
Royalty income paid to the Trust may not agree to the Trust's royalty
interest in the Net Proceeds. Excess production costs related to the San
Juan Basin-Colorado properties operated by BP were approximately $50,000 as
of September 30, 2009. The excess production costs must be recovered by the
Working Interest Owners before any distribution of Royalty income will be
made to the Trust.

Operational Review
Hugoton Field
Natural gas and natural gas liquids production attributable to the Royalty from the Hugoton field accounted for approximately 38% of the Royalty income of the Trust during the third quarter of 2009.
PNR has advised the Trust that since June 1, 1995 natural gas produced from the Hugoton field has generally been sold under short-term and multi-month contracts at market clearing prices to multiple purchasers recently including Greely Gas and Oneok Energy Marketing, Inc. PNR has advised the Trust that it expects to continue to market gas production from the Hugoton field under short-term and multi-month contracts. As discussed below, overall market prices received for natural gas from the Hugoton Royalty Properties were significantly lower in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008.
Royalty income attributable to the Hugoton Royalty decreased to $352,427 in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $1,844,490 in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in Royalty income was primarily due to lower natural gas and natural gas liquid prices. The average price received in the third quarter of 2009 for natural gas and natural gas liquids sold from the Hugoton Royalty Properties was $3.21 per Mcf and $28.11 per barrel, respectively, compared to $9.73 per Mcf and $65.50 per barrel, respectively, during the same period in 2008. Net production attributable to the Hugoton Royalty was 72,824 Mcf of natural gas and 4,221 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 137,627 Mcf of natural gas and 7,723 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2008. Actual production volumes attributable to the Hugoton properties decreased to 154,594 Mcf of natural and 8,909 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 164,581 Mcf of natural gas and 9,235 barrels of natural gas liquids for the same period in 2008 as a result of natural production decline.
Capital expenditures on these properties in the third quarter of 2009 were $24,804, compared to $0 in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in capital expenditures is due to 2 new wells being drilled in late 2008. Operating costs were $369,207 in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of approximately 2% as compared to $375,270 in the third quarter of 2008.
San Juan Basin
Royalty income from the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties is calculated and paid to the Trust on a state-by-state basis. Substantially all of the Royalty income from the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties is attributable to the Royalty Properties located in the state of New Mexico. The Royalty income from the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in the state of New Mexico was $570,562 during the third quarter of 2009 as compared with $2,416,644 in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in royalty income was primarily the result of lower natural gas and natural gas liquid prices. The average price received in the third quarter of 2009 for natural gas sold from the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in the state of New Mexico was $2.17 per Mcf and $26.97 per barrel, respectively, compared to $8.85 per Mcf and $65.90 per barrel during the same period in 2008. Net production attributable to the San Juan Basin Royalty located in New Mexico was 133,333 Mcf of natural gas and 10,441 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 176,766 Mcf of natural gas and 12,939 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2008. Actual production volumes attributable to the San Juan Basin properties located in the state of New Mexico increased to 225,179 Mcf of natural gas and 17,758 barrels of natural gas liquids in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 224,779 Mcf of natural gas and 16,486 barrels of natural gas liquids for the same period in 2008. The increase in actual production volume for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period 2008 was due to better run times on conventional gathering.
Capital expenditures on the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in the state of New Mexico were $133,574 in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of approximately 20% as compared to $166,650
in the third quarter of 2008. This decrease is due to decreased drilling activity in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. Operating costs were $262,663 in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of approximately 47% as compared to $491,761 in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to a reduction in lease inspections and a reduction in well workover expenses.
Royalty income from the San Juan Basin-Colorado Royalty Properties was $231 during the third quarter of 2009, compared to $273,985 during the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in Royalty income was primarily the result of lower natural gas prices and an increase in excess production costs. Net production attributable to the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in Colorado was 111 Mcf of natural gas during the third quarter of 2009, compared to 34,283 Mcf of natural gas during the third quarter of 2008. The average price received in the third quarter of 2009 for natural gas sold from the San Juan Basin Colorado Properties was $2.09 compared to $8.28 in the third quarter of 2008. Actual production volumes attributable to the San Juan Basin Colorado Properties decreased to 37,109 Mcf of natural gas in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 38,807 Mcf of natural gas for the same period in 2008. Royalty income reported from BP is net of pre-main line production costs. These costs were charged to the Trust in error and as a result the Royalty income for previous periods was reduced. Because Royalty income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by BP, the additional royalties, if any, will not be recorded until received by the Trust.
Operating costs on these properties were $68,262 in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately 44% as compared to $47,445 in the third quarter of 2008 due to an increase in drilling and workover charges.
