TEL OFFSHORE TRUST        NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        (Unaudited)

(1) Trust Organization

Tenneco Offshore Company, Inc. ("Tenneco Offshore") created the TEL Offshore Trust ("Trust") effective January 1, 1983, pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution ("Plan")
approved by Tenneco Offshore's stockholders on December 22, 1982. In accordance with the Plan, the TEL Offshore Trust Partnership ("Partnership") was formed in which the Trust owns a 99.99%
interest and Tenneco Oil Company initially owned a .01% interest. In general, the Plan was effected by transferring an overriding royalty interest ("Royalty") equivalent to a 25% net profits interest
in the oil and gas properties (the "Royalty Properties") of Tenneco Exploration, Ltd. located offshore Louisiana to the Partnership and issuing certificates evidencing units of beneficial
interest in the Trust ("Units") in liquidation and cancellation of Tenneco Offshore's common stock.

On
January 14, 1983, Tenneco Offshore distributed Units to holders of Tenneco Offshore's common stock on the basis of one Unit for each common share owned on such date.

The
terms of the Trust Agreement, dated January 1, 1983 (as amended, the "Trust Agreement"), provide, among other things, that:

(Unaudited)

(1) Trust Organization (Continued)



On
October 27, 2011, the Partnership sold 20% of the Royalty for gross proceeds of $1,600,000. See Note 3.

The
Trust is currently administered by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the "Corporate Trustee"), which succeeded JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the corporate trustee,
effective October 2, 2006 pursuant to an agreement under which The Bank of New York acquired substantially all of the corporate trust business of JPMorgan Chase (formerly known as The Chase
Manhattan Bank), and Gary C. Evans, Thomas H. Owen, Jr., and Jeffrey S. Swanson (the "Individual Trustees"), as trustees (the "Trustees").

(2) Basis of Accounting and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited financial information has been prepared by the Corporate Trustee. The accompanying financial information is prepared on a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles"). The Corporate Trustee and the Individual Trustees believe that the
information furnished reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Trustees, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Overriding Royalty InterestThe Trust uses the modified cash basis of accounting to report Trust receipts from the overriding royalty and payments of
expenses incurred. The actual cash distributions to the Trust are made based on the terms of the conveyance that created the Trust's overriding royalty interest. The overriding royalty interest
entitles the Trust to receive revenues (oil, gas and natural gas liquid sales) less expenses (the amount by which all royalties, lease operating expenses including well workover costs, production and
property taxes, post-production costs including plugging and abandonment, and producing overhead of the underlying properties) multiplied
by 20%. Actual cash receipts may vary due to timing delays of cash receipts from the property operators or purchasers and due to wellhead and pipeline volume balancing agreements or practices.

(2) Basis of Accounting and Going Concern (Continued)

Modified Cash Basis of AccountingThe condensed financial statements of the Trust, as prepared on a modified cash basis, reflect the Trust's assets,
liabilities, Trust corpus, earnings and distributions, as follows:



This
manner of reporting income and expenses is considered to be the most meaningful because the quarterly distributions to Unit holders are based on net cash receipts received from the
Working Interest Owners. The condensed financial statements of the Trust differ from condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, because, under such principles, Royalty income and
Trust general and administrative expenses for a quarter would be recognized on an accrual basis. In addition, amortization of the net overriding royalty interest, calculated on a
units-of-production basis, is charged directly to Trust corpus since such amount does not affect distributable income. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP
corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E,Financial
Statements of Royalty Trusts.

The
Trustees, including the Corporate Trustee, have no authority over, have not evaluated and make no statement concerning, the internal control over financial reporting of any of the
Working Interest Owners.

On
the last business day of each calendar quarter prior to August 1, 2011, the Working Interest Owners were to pay to the Partnership 25% of the Net Proceeds (as defined below in
Note 3) for the

4

TEL OFFSHORE TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(2) Basis of Accounting and Going Concern (Continued)

immediately
preceding Quarterly Period. As discussed in Note 3Net Overriding Royalty Interest, on October 27, 2011, but effective as of August 1, 2011, the
Partnership sold 20% of the Royalty to a third party; as a result, on the last business day of each calendar quarter after August 1, 2011, the Working Interest Owners are to pay to the
Partnership 20% of the Net Proceeds for the immediately preceding Quarterly Period. A Quarterly Period is each period of three months commencing on the first day of February, May, August and November.
In turn, the Partnership distributes funds to its partners on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Cash distributions from the Trust are made in January, April, July and October of each
year, and are payable to Unit holders of record as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. Thus, any cash conveyed to the Trust from the Royalty during the quarter ended
September 30, 2012 would substantially represent the
revenues and expenses from the Royalty Properties from May 2012 through July 2012. Similarly, any cash conveyed to the Trust from the Royalty during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 would
substantially represent the revenues and expenses from the Royalty Properties from May 2011 through July 2011. However, there was no cash conveyed to the Trust from the Royalty Properties from either
May 2012 through July 2012 or May 2011 through July 2011. The financial and operating information included in this Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
September 30, 2011 represents financial and operating information with respect to the Royalty Properties for the immediately preceding months of May, June and July. Similarly, financial and
operating information with respect to the Royalty Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 represents financial and operating information with
respect to the Royalty Properties for the immediately preceding months of November through July. Income from the Royalty is recorded by the Trust on a cash basis, when it is received by the Trust from
the Partnership.

Amortization of Overriding Royalty InterestThe Trust amortizes the investment in overriding royalty interest using the
units-of-production method. The Trust's rate of recording amortization is dependent upon the estimates of total proved reserves, which incorporates various assumptions and
future projections. If the estimates of total proved reserves decline significantly, the rate at which the Trust records amortization expense would increase, reducing Trust corpus. Such a decline in
reserves may result from lower commodity prices, which may make it uneconomic to produce from higher cost fields. The Trust is unable to predict changes in reserve quantity estimates as such
quantities are dependent on future economic and operational conditions.

Impairment of Investment in Overriding Royalty InterestThe Trust reviews overriding royalty interests in oil and gas properties for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, the Trust prepares an estimate of future cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an
impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on

5

TEL OFFSHORE TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(2) Basis of Accounting and Going Concern (Continued)

the
Corporate Trustee's best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. There were no write downs taken in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three
months or less.

Reserve for future Trust expensesRepresents cash reserves for future Trust expenses established by the Trustee. The changes in reserves for future
Trust expenses includes both changes of amounts deemed necessary by the Trustees and related distributions, as well as amounts paid from the reserve during periods when the Trust has insufficient
income to pay Trust expenses. See Note 6.

Proceeds from Sale of Overriding RoyaltyThe Trust records proceeds from the sale of Overriding Royalty Interests when received.

Special Cost Escrow accountThe Special Cost Escrow account (see Note 5) is established for future costs to be incurred to plug and abandon
wells, dismantle and remove platforms, pipelines and other production facilities, and for the estimated amount of future capital expenditures on the Royalty Properties. The funds held in the Special
Cost Escrow account are not reflected in the condensed financial statements of the Trust. However, funds deposited to or released from the Special Cost Escrow account are included in Royalty income.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements requires the Trustees to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported
in the condensed financial statements as well as certain disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsThere were no accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended September 30, 2012, applicable to
the Trust or its condensed financial statements.

Going ConcernThe accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Trust will continue as a going concern. Financial
statements prepared on the going concern basis assume the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Trust has not received royalty income since the
fourth quarter of 2008. The lack of sufficient Net Proceeds to make distributions in the foreseeable future as discussed in Note 4 and the inability to maintain adequate cash reserves raise
substantial doubt about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. Certain potential alternatives available to the Trustees are described in Note 6. The condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(3) Net Overriding Royalty Interest

On October 27, 2011, the Trust issued a press release announcing that the Partnership had consummated the sale of 20% of the Royalty. The sale generated $1,600,000 in gross
proceeds and

6

TEL OFFSHORE TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(3) Net Overriding Royalty Interest (Continued)

occurred
as part of a formal auction process for the Royalty. The Trust received from the Partnership a distribution of approximately $1,485,851, representing 99.99% of the net proceeds from the sale
of $1,486,000. The Trust will use such net proceeds solely for the payment of expenses of the Trust.

The
sale is governed by a letter agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership and RNR Production, Land and Cattle Company, Inc. (the "Purchaser") made various representations and
warranties, with related indemnification obligations. In connection therewith, the Partnership and the Purchaser executed a Partial Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The
sale was made to the Purchaser on October 27, 2011, though the assignment of the 20% was effective as of August 1, 2011. The Purchaser initially required a minimum
purchase of 25% of the Royalty. Pursuant to an Option Agreement, the Partnership has agreed with the Purchaser that if the Partnership elects to sell, or market for sale, any portion of the Royalty on
or prior to December 31, 2012, the Purchaser will have the option to acquire such percentage interest, up to an additional 5% of the entire Royalty, for a sales price equivalent to the product
of $80,000 times the percentage interest acquired. In order to exercise the option, the Purchaser would have to provide the Partnership notice of such exercise within 10 days following the
Partnership's notice to the Purchaser of such proposed sale.

The
Royalty entitles the Trust to its share (99.99%) of 80% of 25% of the Net Proceeds attributable to the Royalty Properties. The Conveyance, dated January 1, 1983, provides that
the Working Interest Owners will calculate, for each period of three months commencing the first day of February, May, August and November, an amount equal to 25% of the Net Proceeds from their oil
and gas properties for the period. Generally, "Net Proceeds" means the amounts received by the Working Interest Owners from the sale of minerals from the Royalty Properties less operating and capital
costs incurred, management fees and expense reimbursements owing to the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, applicable taxes other than income taxes, and the Special Cost Escrow account. The
Special Cost Escrow account is established for the future costs to be incurred to plug and abandon wells, dismantle and remove platforms, pipelines and other production facilities, and for the
estimated amount of future capital expenditures on the Royalty Properties. Net Proceeds do not include amounts received by the Working Interest Owners as advance gas payments,
"take-or-pay" payments or similar payments unless and until such payments are extinguished or repaid through the future delivery of gas.

As
of October 9, 2001, Chevron Corporation merged with Texaco Inc. and the Royalty Properties owned by Texaco Exploration and Production Inc. ("TEPI") were assigned
to Chevron U.S.A. Inc. ("Chevron") on May 1, 2002. Crude oil sales from the Chevron and TEPI properties added together accounted for approximately 100% of crude oil revenues from the
Royalty Properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. Sales to Chevron Corporation accounted for 100% of total gas revenues from the Royalty
Properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.

(3) Net Overriding Royalty Interest (Continued)

The
Trust's share of Royalty income was reduced by approximately $59,072 and $89,120, respectively, for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30,
2011, and approximately $168,415 and $215,579, respectively, for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, for management fees paid to the Working Interest
Owners as reimbursement for expenses incurred by them on behalf of the Trust. Such management fees were calculated as 3% of the Trust's share of the sum of revenues, production expenses and capital
expenditures attributable to the Royalty Properties in each of the periods above.

(4) Distributions to Unit Holders

In accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, generally all Net Proceeds received by the Trust, net of Trust general and administrative expenses and any cash reserves
established for the payment of contingent or future obligations of the Trust, are distributed currently to the Unit holders. These distributions are referred to as "distributable income". The amounts
distributed are determined on a quarterly basis and are payable to Unit holders of record as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. However, cash distributions are made in January, April,
July and October and include interest earned from the quarterly record date to the date of distribution.

Production
ceased at Eugene Island 339 and Ship Shoal 182 and 183 following damages inflicted by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Future Net Proceeds may take into account the Trust's
share of
project costs and other related expenditures that are not covered by insurance of the operator of the Royalty Properties. On December 19, 2008, the Trust announced its fourth quarter
distribution of approximately $0.7 million, which was paid on January 9, 2009. The funds available for the fourth quarter distribution were severely negatively impacted by Hurricane Ike.
On March 25, 2009, the Trust announced that there would be no trust distribution for the first quarter of 2009, and the Trust has not made a distribution since January 9, 2009.

While
oil and gas production at Ship Shoal 182 and 183 has been partially restored, there are not likely to be sufficient Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties for the Trust to make a
regularly scheduled quarterly distribution to Unit holders for the foreseeable future. As a result of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike, Net Proceeds will continue to be severely impacted by
reduced production, from historical levels, and the amount of expenditures incurred that are associated with such damages, including the expenditures required to plug and abandon the wells on Eugene
Island 339 and, as currently expected, to redevelop the facility at Eugene Island 339. While Chevron has stated that it intends to redevelop Eugene Island 339, there is no obligation for
Chevron to continue to pursue such redevelopment. There can be no assurance by Chevron or anyone else as to the actual timing for any future distributions to the Partnership from the Royalty, and
there is no guarantee that any further distributions will be made. Future Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties will take into account the Trust's share of project costs and other related
expenditures that are not covered by the insurance of the operators of the Royalty Properties. In September 2011, Chevron informed the Trust that the

8

TEL OFFSHORE TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(4) Distributions to Unit Holders (Continued)

estimate
of the Trust's net portion of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had increased from approximately $15 million to approximately
$16.5 million. As of the October 31, 2011 reserve report, the estimate of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had increased to
approximately $17.6 million. In September 2012, Chevron informed the Trust that the estimate of the Royalty's net portion of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the
Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had further increased to approximately $19.8 million, approximately $19.2 million of which had been incurred through July 31, 2012, and without
giving credit for an expected approximately $212,000 of insurance proceeds to be received by Chevron and to be allocated for the benefit of the Royalty with respect to Eugene Island 339. If
development and production costs of the Royalty Properties exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties, the Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future proceeds from production
exceed the total of the excess costs plus accrued interest. As a result of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike, the Trust has not received Net Proceeds since December 2008. As of July 31,
2012, aggregate development and production costs for the Royalty Properties since November 2008 have exceeded the related proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties by approximately
$8.4 million, net to the entire Royalty ($6.7 million attributable to the Trust as of July 31, 2012). As of October 31, 2011, aggregate development and production costs for
the Royalty Properties since November 2008 have exceeded the related proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties by
approximately $5.9 million, net to the entire Royalty ($4.7 million attributable to the Trust as of December 31, 2011). In the fourth quarter of 2010, Chevron withdrew $4,304,894
from the Special Cost Escrow account of the Working Interest Owners to cover expenses incurred in connection with the plugging and abandonment of Eugene Island 339, which served to reduce the amount
by which development and production costs exceeded the related proceeds of production as of December 31, 2010. Significant redevelopment costs will be incurred if Eugene Island 339 is
redeveloped; however, Chevron has entered into a participation agreement with a third party whereby the third party has the right to earn an assignment of 65% of Chevron's working interest in the
Eugene Island properties, and neither Chevron nor the Trust would, except in the event of any amendment or termination of the participation agreement, bear the cost of the redevelopment of Eugene
Island 339. Accordingly, there will not be sufficient Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties to make distributions for some period of time in the future. At this time, the ultimate outcome of these
matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

For
the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Trust had undistributed net loss of $762,772, representing the Trust's portion of the aggregate undistributed net loss of
$3,814,240 associated with the Royalty Properties for the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Trust had undistributed net loss of
$2,051,982, representing the Trust's portion of the undistributed net loss of $10,260,937 associated with the Royalty Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The cumulative
undistributed net loss for the Trust was $6,738,912 as of September 30, 2012. Undistributed net loss represents the amount of development and production costs

(4) Distributions to Unit Holders (Continued)

associated
with the Royalty that exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties during the period. An undistributed net loss is carried forward and offset, in future periods, by
positive proceeds earned by the related Working Interest Owner(s). The Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus applicable
accrued interest. Undistributed net income represents positive Net Proceeds, generated during the respective period, but not distributed by the Working Interest Owners.

(5) Special Cost Escrow Account

The Special Cost Escrow is an account of the Working Interest Owners, and it is described herein for informational purposes only. The Conveyance provides for reserving funds for
estimated future "Special Costs" of plugging and abandoning wells, dismantling platforms and other costs of abandoning the Royalty Properties, as well as for the estimated amount of future drilling
projects and other capital expenditures on the Royalty Properties. As provided in the Conveyance, the amount of funds to be reserved is determined based on certain factors, including estimates of
aggregate future production costs, aggregate future Special Costs, aggregate future net revenues and actual current net proceeds. Deposits into this account reduce current distributions and are placed
in an escrow account and invested in short-term certificates of deposit. Such account is herein referred to as the "Special Cost Escrow" account. As of September 30, 2012,
approximately $1,000 remained in the Special Cost Escrow account. Special Cost Escrow account funds will generally be utilized to pay Special Costs to the extent there are not adequate current net
proceeds to pay such costs. Special Costs that have been paid are no longer included in the Special Cost Escrow calculation. Deposits to the Special Cost Escrow account will generally be made when the
balance in the Special Cost Escrow account is less than 125% of estimated future Special Costs and there is a Net Revenues Shortfall (a calculation of the excess of estimated future costs over
estimated future net revenues pursuant to a formula contained in the Conveyance). When there is not a Net Revenues Shortfall, amounts in the Special Cost Escrow account will generally be released, to
the extent that Special Costs have been incurred. Amounts in the Special Cost Escrow account will also be released when the balance in such account exceeds 125% of future Special Costs.

During
the first nine months of 2012 and during 2011, there were no funds released from or deposited into the Special Cost Escrow account.

In
connection with the sale of 20% of the Royalty by the Partnership in October 2011, the Partnership also assigned 20% of its rights and obligations with respect to the Special Cost
Escrow.

The
discussion of the terms of the Conveyance and Special Cost Escrow Account contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Conveyance.

Deposits
to the Special Cost Escrow Account will be required in future periods in connection with other production costs, other abandonment costs, other capital expenditures and changes

and factors described above. Such deposits could result in a significant reduction in Royalty income in the periods in which such deposits are made.

(6) Reserve For Future Trust Expenses

The Trust generally maintains a cash reserve, equal to approximately three times the average annual expenses of the Trust during each of the then past three years, to provide for future
administrative expenses in connection with the winding up of the Trust. However, as a result of the damage inflicted upon certain of the Royalty Properties by Hurricane Ike in September 2008, the
Trust has not received sufficient Net Proceeds to maintain the reserve at such level. During the third quarter of 2012, the Trust decreased its reserve by $128,400, to pay current expenses, resulting
in a reserve balance of $326,494 as of September 30, 2012, or approximately 42% of the average annual expenses of the Trust
during the three-year period ended September 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the reserve was $944,917 or 102% of the average annual expenses during the three year period
ended December 31, 2011.

There
are not likely to be positive Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance by Chevron or anyone else as to the actual timing for
any future distributions to the Partnership from the Royalty, and there is no guarantee that any further distributions will be made. Absent the receipt of Net Proceeds or other actions being taken, it
is anticipated that by the end of the first quarter of 2013, the Trust will not have sufficient funds to pay the liabilities of the Trust. As such, the Trustees may take certain actions, discussed
below, on behalf of the Trust as permitted under the Trust Agreement, which could materially impact the Unit holders.

In
March 2011, the Trustees unanimously determined to suspend future payments of fees to the Trustees, until a date to be determined in the future by the Trustees. Such suspended fees
were accrued as an expense of the Trust, but were not being paid on a current basis, until November 2011, when such fees were paid following receipt by the Trust of proceeds from the following
described sale of a portion of the Royalty by the Partnership in late October 2011.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trustees are authorized to borrow funds, and pledge the assets of the Trust to secure payments of such borrowings, in the event that
cash on hand is not sufficient to pay the liabilities of the Trust. In the event that the Trustees borrow funds to pay the liabilities of the Trust, no distributions will be made to the Unit holders
until the indebtedness created by such borrowings has been paid in full.

The
Trust Agreement further provides that, if necessary to provide for the payment of specific liabilities of the Trust then due, the Trustees may without a vote of the Unit holders
(a) sell all or a portion of the Trust's interest in the Partnership or any other assets of the Trust for such cash consideration as the Trustees shall deem appropriate, (b) exercise
their rights under the Partnership

Agreement
to dissolve the Partnership, or (c) cause a sale by the Partnership of the overriding royalty interest owned by the Partnership.

On
March 11, 2011, the Trustees provided written notice to Chevron that, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust needed funds to pay for liabilities of the Trust and that the
Trustees therefore instructed Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, to sell such portion, and only such portion, of the Royalty that will provide the Trust with a current
distribution equal to $2,000,000 from the proceeds of such sale. Based on a recommendation from Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, Chevron marketed for sale by the
Partnership the entire Royalty, while reserving the right to sell only a portion of the Royalty. Chevron engaged EnergyNet.com, Inc. to conduct the marketing process and the related auction for
the Royalty, with the bids in the auction due on August 30, 2011. EnergyNet.com, Inc. is a FINRA-registered broker dealer that provides marketing services to the oil and gas industry.

On
October 27, 2011, the Trust issued a press release announcing that the Partnership had consummated the sale of 20% of the Royalty to RNR Production, Land and Cattle
Company, Inc. ("RNR Production"). The sale generated $1,600,000 in gross proceeds and occurred as part of such formal auction process for the Royalty. The Trust received from the Partnership a
distribution of approximately $1,485,851, representing 99.99% of the net proceeds from the sale of $1,486,000. The Trust has used and will continue to use such net proceeds solely for the payment of
expenses of the Trust.

In
September 2012, the Trustees again unanimously determined to suspend future payments of fees to the Trustees effective as of the third quarter of 2012, until a date to be determined
in the future by the Trustees. Such suspended fees will be accrued as an expense of the Trust, but will not be paid currently.

Based
on the continuing expenses of the Trust and the lack of any distributions and any assurances as to the actual timing of any future distributions, on July 11, 2012, the
Trustees provided written notice to Chevron that, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust needed funds to pay for liabilities of the Trust and that the Trustees therefore instructed Chevron, as the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership, to sell a portion of the Royalty so that the Trust will have sufficient funds to pay its liabilities. The Trustees initiated contact with RNR Production to
determine its interest in purchasing the additional five percent (5%) of the Royalty pursuant to an Option Agreement entered into between the Partnership and RNR Production in connection with the
Partnership's previous sale of 20% of the Royalty to RNR Production. In addition, and pursuant to the Option Agreement, Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, provided RNR
Production with formal notice that the Partnership would be marketing additional Royalty interests and that RNR Production must exercise its option to purchase the additional Royalty within ten days
of the receipt of such notice. RNR Production has indicated that it is not interested in purchasing an additional part of the Royalty at this time pursuant to the Option Agreement. Accordingly, the
Trustees have evaluated the alternatives

available
to the Trust and by letter dated October 16, 2012, provided written notice to Chevron to proceed with an alternative sale process to sell such portion, and only such portion, of the
Royalty that will provide the Trust with a current distribution equal to $1,000,000 from the proceeds of such sale. Based on a recommendation from Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the
Partnership, Chevron is marketing for sale by the Partnership the entire Royalty; however, the Trust has reserved the right and expects to sell only a portion of the Royalty. Also based on a
recommendation from Chevron, Chevron has engaged EnergyNet.com to conduct the marketing process and related auction of the Royalty. EnergyNet.com handled the Partnership's sale of a portion of the
Royalty to RNR Production in 2011. The Trustees are in ongoing discussions with Chevron regarding the sales process. There can be no assurance that such a sale of interests in the Royalty will be
consummated, or as to the terms, conditions and timing of such a sale of interests in the Royalty. In addition, there is no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from any such sale of interests in the
Royalty will be sufficient to fund the continuing expenses of the Trust and the Trustees shall continue to evaluate all other options available for the Trust.

(7) Federal Income Tax Matters

The IRS has ruled that the Trust is a grantor trust and that the Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Thus, the Trust will incur no federal income tax liability
and each Unit holder will be treated as owning an interest in the Partnership.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

The Managing General Partner of the Partnership has advised the Trust that, although Chevron believes that it is in general compliance with applicable health, safety and environmental
laws and regulations that have taken effect at the federal, state and local levels, costs may be incurred to comply with current and proposed environmental legislation that could result in increased
operating expenses on the Royalty Properties.

Item 2.    Trustee's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Trust's source of capital is the Royalty income received from its share of the Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties. Total
future net revenues attributable to the Partnership's interest in the Royalty were estimated at $11.5 million as of October 31, 2011. However, there are not likely to be sufficient Net
Proceeds from the Royalty Properties for the Trust to make a regularly scheduled quarterly distribution to Unit holders for the foreseeable future. The Trust has not received a distribution of Net
Proceeds since December 2008. Because of the lack of Net Proceeds, the Trust has in the past not had sufficient cash flow to pay expenses on a current basis, and the Trust may in the future not have
sufficient cash flow to pay expenses on a current basis. There can be no assurance by Chevron or anyone else as to the actual timing for any future distributions to the Partnership from the Royalty,
and there is no guarantee that any further distributions will be made.

On
October 7, 2008, the Trust announced that production from the two most significant oil and gas properties associated with the Trust had ceased following damage inflicted by
Hurricane Ike in September 2008. On December 19, 2008, the Trust announced its fourth quarter distribution of approximately $0.7 million, which was paid on January 9, 2009. Based
on the damage caused by
Hurricane Ike, the Trust's scheduled distribution for the fourth quarter of 2008 was severely negatively impacted, although there were funds available for distribution given that there was some
production from Eugene Island 339 and Ship Shoal 182/183 in August and September 2008. The Trust has not received a distribution of Net Proceeds since December 2008. Consequently, the Trust has
not made a distribution to Unit holders for 15 consecutive quarters, or since January 9, 2009. As a result of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike, Net Proceeds will continue to be severely
impacted by reduced production, from historical levels, and the amount of expenditures incurred that are associated with such damages, including the expenditures required to plug and abandon the wells
on Eugene Island 339. While Chevron has stated that it intends to redevelop Eugene Island 339, there is no obligation for Chevron to continue to pursue such redevelopment.

The
platforms and wells on Eugene Island 339 were completely destroyed by Hurricane Ike. Chevron is working on the plugging and abandonment of the existing wells, clearing debris and
otherwise dealing with the remaining infrastructure, which activities are not expected to be completed until the fourth quarter of 2012. Chevron has informed the Corporate Trustee that Chevron
presently intends to pursue the redevelopment of platforms and wells at Eugene Island 339 in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the BOEM in response to Chevron's submission to the
BOEM of a program to restore production at Eugene Island 339; however, there is no obligation for Chevron to pursue such redevelopment. The costs for the redevelopment would be significant. Failure or
inability to pursue such a redevelopment, and on the timeframes approved by the BOEM, could result in a loss of the lease. At this time, there can be no assurance that production will be restored at
Eugene Island 339. Chevron has informed the Trust that, under a participation agreement with a third party, the third party holds the right to earn an assignment of 65% of Chevron's working interest
in the Eugene Island 339 properties. Because Chevron's working interests will, upon any assignment as may be earned by the third party under such participation agreement, be reduced by 65%, the
Royalty held by the Partnership with respect to such properties will, effective as of the date of any such assignment, be reduced proportionately. According to Chevron, as a result of any assignment
that may be earned and delivered under such participation agreement, neither Chevron nor the Trust will, except in the event of any subsequent amendment(s) of the participation agreement, bear the
cost of the

14

---



redevelopment
of Eugene Island 339 under the terms of such participation agreement. See "Operational Review" for a more detailed discussion of Eugene Island 339.

Production
at Ship Shoal 182/183 ceased following damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. While the hurricane caused limited surface damage to the facilities at Ship Shoal
182/183, all of the wells at Ship Shoal 182/183 were shut-in following hurricane-related damage to a third-party transporter's natural gas pipeline. The third-party transporter's natural
gas pipeline repairs
were completed and gas sales at Ship Shoal 182/183 were restored on June 26, 2009. However, the pipeline was shut down in mid-September 2009 for additional repairs. Production sales
for both oil and natural gas at Ship Shoal 182 and 183 were restored on October 8, 2009 following completion of such additional repairs. Production ceased at Ship Shoal 182/183 in late March
2010 due to a leak in the oil pipeline that services Ship Shoal 182/183. Such pipeline was repaired and Ship Shoal 182/183 was reopened on May 1, 2010 after a 36-day
shut-in. In November 2010, the platform at Ship Shoal 182/183 was shut-in for tank replacement and production has slowly returned thereafter. See "Operational
Review" for a more detailed discussion of Ship Shoal 182/183.

In
addition, production from West Cameron 643 and East Cameron 371 ceased following damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike in September 2008 to third-party transporters' pipelines. Chevron
has been informed by the operator of West Cameron 643 that the operator submitted to the BOEM a request for an extension of the program to restore production but that such request was denied.
Accordingly, the lease for West Cameron 643 expired on May 31, 2010. The field operator for East Cameron 371 has reported to Chevron that a review of the remaining reserves for East Cameron 371
has been conducted, and that the wells at East Cameron 371 have been depleted. The lease for East Cameron 371 expired on March 31, 2010. See "Operational Review" for a more
detailed discussion of West Cameron 643 and East Cameron 371.

Production
from Eugene Island 342 ceased in the first quarter of 2011 because a third-party pipeline from the field was shut in due to a leak. Chevron has been informed by Apache
Corporation, the operator of Eugene Island 342, that production resumed on July 26, 2012. At the time of such notification, Apache Corporation indicated that production was 1,251 barrels of
crude oil per day.

Future
Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties will take into account the Trust's share of project costs and other related expenditures that are not covered by the insurance of the
operators of the Royalty Properties. Chevron has informed the Trustees that Chevron has reached settlements that provide Chevron with insurance proceeds associated with damages that Chevron's assets
sustained from Hurricane Ike, and that the allocated portion thereof with respect to the Partnership's interest in Eugene Island 339, as a Royalty Property, is approximately $612,000. Chevron applied
$400,000 thereof in the first quarter of 2011 and has stated that the remaining approximately $212,000 is to be received by Chevron and allocated to the Royalty upon completion of the abandonment work
at Eugene Island, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012. Chevron has stated that all such allocated insurance proceeds will be applied to the Partnership's portion of the aggregate
cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339. In September 2011, Chevron informed the Trust that the estimate of the aggregate cost to the Royalty to plug and abandon
the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had increased from approximately $15 million to approximately $16.5 million. As of the October 31, 2011 reserve report, the
estimate of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had increased to approximately $17.6 million. In September 2012, Chevron informed the
Trust that the estimate of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had further increased to

15

---



approximately
$19.8 million, approximately $19.2 million of which had been incurred through July 31, 2012 without giving credit for an expected approximately $212,000 of insurance
proceeds to be received by Chevron and to be allocated for the benefit of the Royalty with respect to Eugene Island 339. If Production Costs of the Royalty Properties exceed the Gross Proceeds from
the Royalty Properties, the Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus accrued interest at a rate equal to
one-fourth of (i) one-half of one percent plus (ii) the median between the prime interest rate at the end of a quarterly period in which there are excess costs
and the prime interest rate at the end of the preceding quarterly period, during the deficit period. As a result of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike, the Trust has not received Net Proceeds since
December 2008. As of July 31, 2012, aggregate development and production costs for the Royalty Properties since November 2008 have exceeded the related proceeds of production from the Royalty
Properties by approximately $8.4 million, net to the entire Royalty ($6.7 million attributable to the Trust as of July 31, 2012). As of October 31, 2011, aggregate
development and production costs for the Royalty Properties since November 2008 have exceeded the related proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties by approximately $5.9 million, net
to the entire Royalty. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Chevron withdrew $4,304,894 from the Special Cost Escrow account of the Working Interest Owners (a reserve fund for certain costs) to cover
expenses incurred in connection with the plugging and abandonment of Eugene Island 339, which served to reduce the amount by which production costs exceeded the proceeds from production; however,
additional deposits to the Special Cost Escrow account would be required in future periods in accordance with the terms of the Conveyance if, and when, Net Proceeds would otherwise be payable on the
Royalty. Accordingly, there will not be sufficient Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties to make distributions for some period of time in the future. At this time, the ultimate outcome of these
various matters cannot be determined. See "Operational Review."

Substantial
uncertainties exist with regard to future oil and gas prices, which are subject to material fluctuations due to changes in production levels and pricing and other actions
taken by major petroleum producing nations, as well as the regional supply and demand for oil and gas, worldwide political conditions, weather, industrial growth, conservation measures, competition,
economic conditions generally and other variables.

In
accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, generally all Net Proceeds received by the Trust, net of Trust general and administrative expenses and any cash reserves
established for the payment of contingent or future obligations of the Trust, are distributed currently to the Unit holders. In 1994, in anticipation of future periods when the cash received from the
Royalty may not be sufficient for payment of Trust expenses, the Trust determined, in accordance with the Trust Agreement, to begin further increasing the Trust's cash reserve each quarter. In the
first quarter of 1998, the Trust determined that the Trust's cash reserve was then sufficient to provide for future
administrative expenses in connection with the winding up of the Trust. The Trust determined that a cash reserve equal to three times the average expenses of the Trust during each of the past three
years was sufficient at such time to provide for future administrative expenses in connection with the winding up of the Trust.

The
Trust generally maintains a cash reserve, equal to approximately three times the average annual expenses of the Trust during each of the then past three years, to provide for future
administrative expenses in connection with the winding up of the Trust. However, as a result of the damage inflicted upon certain of the Royalty Properties by Hurricane Ike in September 2008, the
Trust

16

---



has
not received sufficient Net Proceeds to maintain the reserve at such level. During the third quarter of 2012, the Trust decreased its reserve by $128,400, to pay current expenses, resulting in a
reserve balance of $326,494 as of September 30, 2012, or approximately 42% of the average annual expenses of the Trust during the three-year period ended September 30, 2012.
As of December 31, 2011, the reserve was $944,917 or 102% of the average annual expenses during the three year period ended December 31, 2011.

The
Trustees of the Trust have previously asked Chevron if it would be willing to advance funds to the Partnership against future payments to the Partnership on the Royalty, particularly
in light of Chevron's withdrawal of $4,304,894 from the Special Cost Escrow account in the fourth quarter of 2010. Chevron declined to make any such advance of funds, though orally offered to the
Corporate Trustee in December 2010 to buy the Royalty for $0. As discussed under "Operational Review", in January 2010, the Trust engaged an independent oil and gas accounting firm to
review the books and records of certain Working Interest Owners with respect to the Royalty Properties and the related payments to the Trust and such review is currently ongoing. The Corporate Trustee
has requested Chevron to pay any adjustments resulting from such audit directly to the Partnership; however, Chevron instead has stated that it will credit any such adjustments against the
Partnership's share of allocated expenses for the Royalty Properties. As a result, there will be no current payments to the Partnership resulting from such audit.

In
March 2011, the Trustees unanimously determined to suspend future payments of fees to the Trustees, until a date to be determined in the future by the Trustees. Such suspended fees
were accrued as an expense of the Trust, but were not being paid on a current basis, until November 2011, when such fees were paid following receipt by the Trust of proceeds from the following
described sale of a portion of the Royalty by the Partnership in late October 2011.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, are authorized to borrow funds, and pledge the assets of the Trust to secure payments of such
borrowings, in the event that cash on hand is not sufficient to pay the liabilities of the Trust. In the event that the Trustees borrow funds to pay the liabilities of the Trust, no distributions will
be made to the Unit holders until the indebtedness created by such borrowings has been paid in full. However, there can be no assurance as to the terms and conditions of any such financing, or that
any such financing can actually be obtained.

The
Trust Agreement provides that, if necessary to provide for the payment of specific liabilities of the Trust then due, the Trustees may without a vote of the Unit holders
(a) sell all or a portion of the Trust's interest in the Partnership or any other assets of the Trust for such cash consideration as the Trustees shall deem appropriate, (b) exercise
their rights under the Partnership Agreement to dissolve the Partnership, or (c) cause a sale by the Partnership of the overriding royalty interest owned by the Partnership.

On
March 11, 2011, the Trustees provided written notice to Chevron that, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust needed funds to pay for liabilities of the Trust and that the
Trustees therefore instructed Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, to sell such portion, and only such portion, of the Royalty that would provide the Trust with a current
distribution equal to $2,000,000 from the proceeds of such sale. Based on a recommendation from Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, Chevron marketed for sale by the
Partnership the entire Royalty, while reserving the right to sell only a portion of the Royalty. Chevron engaged

17

EnergyNet.com, Inc.
to conduct the marketing process and the related auction for the Royalty, with the bids in the auction due on August 30, 2011. EnergyNet.com, Inc. is a
FINRA-registered broker dealer that provides marketing services to the oil and gas industry.

On
October 27, 2011, the Trust issued a press release announcing that the Partnership had consummated the sale of 20% of the Royalty. The sale generated $1,600,000 in gross
proceeds and occurred as part of such formal auction process for the Royalty. The Trust received from the Partnership a distribution of approximately $1,485,851, representing 99.99% of the net
proceeds from the sale of $1,486,000. The Trust will use such net proceeds solely for the payment of expenses of the Trust.

The
sale is governed by a letter agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership and RNR Production, Land and Cattle Company, Inc. ("RNR Production") made various representations and
warranties, with related indemnification obligations. In connection therewith, the Partnership and RNR Production executed a Partial Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interests.

The
sale was made to RNR Production on October 27, 2011, though the assignment of the 20% is effective as of August 1, 2011. RNR Production initially required a minimum
purchase of 25% of the Royalty. Pursuant to an Option Agreement, the Partnership has agreed with RNR Production that if the Partnership elects to sell, or market for sale, any portion of the Royalty
on or prior to December 31, 2012, RNR Production will have the option to acquire such percentage interest, up to an additional 5% of the entire Royalty, for a sales price equivalent to the
product of $80,000 times the percentage interest acquired. In order to exercise the option, RNR Production would have to provide the Partnership notice of such exercise within 10 days following
the Partnership's notice to RNR Production of such proposed sale.

In
September 2012, the Trustees again unanimously determined to suspend future payments of fees to the Trustees effective as of the third quarter of 2012, until a date to be determined
in the future by the Trustees. Such suspended fees will be accrued as an expense of the Trust, but will not be paid currently.

As
discussed above, the Trust maintains a cash reserve to provide for future administrative expenses in connection with the winding up of the Trust. The Trust seeks to maintain a cash
reserve of approximately three times the average annual expenses of the Trust. However, the Trust has not received sufficient Net Proceeds to maintain a cash reserve at such level and as of
September 30, 2012, the cash reserve decreased to $326,494, or approximately 42% of the Trust's average annual expenses during the three-year period ended September 30, 2012.

Based
on the continuing expenses of the Trust and the lack of any distributions and any assurances as to the actual timing of any future distributions, on July 11, 2012, the
Trustees provided written notice to Chevron that, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust needed funds to pay for liabilities of the Trust and that the Trustees therefore instructed Chevron, as the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership, to sell a portion of the Royalty so that the Trust will have sufficient funds to pay its liabilities. The Trustees initiated contact with RNR Production to
determine its interest in purchasing the additional five percent (5%) of the Royalty pursuant to an Option Agreement entered into between the Partnership and RNR Production in connection with the
Partnership's previous sale of 20% of the Royalty to RNR Production. In addition, and pursuant to the Option Agreement, Chevron, as the Managing General partner of the Partnership, provided RNR
Production with formal notice that the Partnership would be marketing additional Royalty interests and that RNR Production must exercise its

18

---



option
to purchase the additional Royalty within ten days of the receipt of such notice. RNR Production has indicated that it is not interested in purchasing an additional part of the Royalty at this
time pursuant to the Option Agreement. Accordingly, the Trustees have evaluated the alternatives available to the Trust and by letter dated October 16, 2012, provided written notice to Chevron
to proceed with an alternative sale process to sell such portion, and only such portion, of the Royalty that will provide the Trust with a current distribution equal to $1,000,000 from the proceeds of
such sale. Based on a recommendation from Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, Chevron is marketing for sale by the Partnership the entire Royalty; however, the Trust has
reserved the right and expects to sell only a portion of the Royalty. Also based on a recommendation from Chevron, Chevron has engaged EnergyNet.com to conduct the marketing process and related
auction of the Royalty. EnergyNet.com handled the Partnership's sale of a portion of the Royalty to RNR Production in 2011. The Trustees are in ongoing discussions with Chevron regarding the sales
process. There can be no assurance that such a sale of interests in the Royalty will be consummated, or as to the terms, conditions and timing of such a sale of interests in the Royalty. In addition,
there is no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from any such sale of interests in the Royalty will be sufficient to fund the continuing expenses of the Trust and the Trustees shall continue to
evaluate all other options available for the Trust.

The
accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Trust will continue as a going concern. Financial statements prepared on the going concern basis
assume the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The lack of Net Proceeds and the inability to maintain adequate cash reserves raise substantial
doubt about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. Certain potential alternatives available to the Trustees are described in Note 6 to the condensed financial statements. The
condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Notes 2 and 6 to the condensed financial statements.

Future Net Revenues and Termination of the Trust

Based on a reserve study provided to Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, by DeGolyer and MacNaughton,
independent petroleum engineers, as of October 31, 2011 future net revenues attributable to the Trust's royalty interests were estimated at $11.5 million. Estimates of proved oil and gas
reserves attributable to the Partnership's royalty interest are based on existing economic and operating conditions in effect at October 31, 2011 in order to
correspond with distributions to the Trust. Such reserve study also indicates that approximately 39% of the future net revenues from the Royalty Properties are expected to be received by the Trust by
October 31, 2013. The reserve study does not include reserves attributable to Eugene Island 339 or any capital expenditures for any redevelopment of Eugene Island 339. However, such reserve
study does include the Trust's share of the estimated total plugging and abandonment costs related to Eugene Island 339. In September 2012, Chevron informed the Trust that the estimate of the
Royalty's net portion of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had further increased to approximately $19.8 million, approximately
$19.2 million of which had been incurred through July 31, 2012, and without giving credit for an expected approximately $212,000 of insurance proceeds to be received by Chevron and to be
allocated for the benefit of the Royalty with respect to Eugene Island 339. Because the Trust will terminate in the event estimated future net revenues fall below $2.0 million, it would be
possible for the Trust to terminate even though some or all of the Royalty Properties continued to have remaining productive lives. Upon termination of the Trust, the

19

---



Trustees
will sell for cash all of the assets held in the Trust estate and make a final distribution to Unit holders of any funds remaining after all Trust liabilities have been satisfied. The
estimates of future net revenues discussed above are subject to large variances from year to year and should not be construed as exact. There are numerous uncertainties present in estimating future
net revenues for the Royalty Properties. The estimate may vary depending on changes in market prices for crude oil and natural gas, the recoverable reserves, annual production and costs assumed by
DeGolyer and MacNaughton. In addition, future economic and operating conditions as well as results of future drilling plans may cause significant changes in such estimate. The discussion set forth
above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2011 10-K. The Trust's Form 10-K is available at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") at www.sec.govor upon request
from the Corporate Trustee.

Special Cost Escrow Account

The Conveyance provides for reserving funds for estimated future "Special Costs" of plugging and abandoning wells, dismantling
platforms and other costs of abandoning the Royalty Properties, as well as for the estimated amount of future drilling projects and other capital expenditures on the Royalty Properties. As provided in
the Conveyance, the amount of funds to be reserved is determined based on factors including estimates of aggregate future production costs, aggregate future Special Costs, aggregate future net
revenues and actual current net proceeds. Deposits
into this account reduce current distributions and are placed in an escrow account and invested in short-term certificates of deposit. Such account is herein referred to as the "Special
Cost Escrow" account. The Trust's share of interest generated from the Special Cost Escrow account serves to reduce the Trust's share of allocated production costs. Special Cost Escrow funds will
generally be utilized to pay Special Costs to the extent there are not adequate current net proceeds to pay such costs. Special Costs that have been paid are no longer included in the Special Cost
Escrow calculation. Deposits to the Special Cost Escrow account will generally be made when the balance in the Special Cost Escrow account is less than 125% of estimated future Special Costs and there
is a Net Revenues Shortfall (a calculation of the excess of estimated future costs over estimated future net revenues pursuant to a formula contained in the Conveyance). When there is not a Net
Revenues Shortfall, amounts in the Special Cost Escrow account will generally be released, to the extent that Special Costs have been incurred. Amounts in the Special Cost Escrow account will also be
released when the balance in such account exceeds 125% of estimated future Special Costs. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no funds released or escrowed from
the Special Cost Escrow account. As of September 30, 2012, $1,000 remained in the Special Cost Escrow account. The funds held in the Special Cost Escrow account are not reflected in the
condensed financial statements of the Trust. The discussion of the terms of the Conveyance and Special Cost Escrow account contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Conveyance
itself, which is an exhibit to this Form 10-Q and is available upon request from the Corporate Trustee.

In
the fourth quarter of 2010, Chevron withdrew $4,304,894 from the Special Cost Escrow Account to cover expenses incurred in connection with the plugging and abandonment of Eugene
Island 339, leaving a balance of $1,000 in the Special Cost Escrow Account. After taking into account such withdrawal, aggregate development and production costs in excess of the related proceeds for
the royalty Properties as of October 31, 2011 was approximately $5.9 million, net to the entire Royalty; however, additional deposits to the Special Cost Escrow account would be required
in future periods in accordance with the Conveyance if, and when, Net Proceeds would otherwise be payable on the royalty. During 2011, there were no funds released from or escrowed into the Special
Cost Escrow account. As of September 30, 2012, $1,000 remained in the Special Cost Escrow account.

In
connection with the sale of 20% of the Royalty by the Partnership in October 2011, the Partnership also assigned 20% of its rights and obligations with respect to the Special Cost
Escrow.

Chevron,
in its capacity as Managing General Partner of the Partnership, has advised the Trust that additional deposits to the Special Cost Escrow account may be required in future
periods in connection with other production costs, other abandonment costs, other capital expenditures and changes in the estimates and factors described above. Such deposits could result in a
significant reduction in Royalty income in the periods in which such deposits are made, including the possibility that no Royalty income would be received in such periods.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011



Royalty income was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 because there were no positive Net Proceeds
attributable to the Royalty Properties due to damages inflicted to the Royalty Properties by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

General
and administrative expenses for the Trust were $128,411 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $41,046 for the three months ended September 30,
2011. The increase is due primarily to the timing of the payment of expenses.

The
reserve for future Trust expenses decreased approximately $128,400 from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012 due to payments for Trust expenses.

There
was no distributable income for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and therefore no distributions to unit holders.

For
the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Trust had undistributed net loss of $762,772, representing the Trust's portion of the undistributed net loss of $3,814,240
associated with the Royalty Properties for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The cumulative undistributed net loss for the Trust was $6,738,912 as of September 30, 2012.
Undistributed net loss represents the amount of development and production costs associated with the Royalty that exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties during the period. An
undistributed net loss is carried forward and offset, in future periods, by positive proceeds earned by the related Working Interest Owner(s). The Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future
proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus applicable accrued interest.



The following financial and operational information has been based on information provided to the Corporate Trustee by the Managing
General Partner. The Trustees have no control over these operations or internal controls relating to this information.

Volumes and dollar amounts discussed below represent amounts recorded by the Working Interest Owners unless otherwise specified.

Ship
Shoal 182/183 crude oil revenues decreased from $4,956,353 in the third quarter of 2011 to $2,963,103 in the third quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in net crude oil
production from 42,147 barrels in the third quarter of 2011 to 28,049 barrels in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in volumes was due to multiple shut ins for facility improvement projects
during the third quarter of

21

2012.
There was also a decrease in the average crude oil price received from $117.60 per barrel in the third quarter of 2011 to $105.64 per barrel for the same period in 2012. Gas revenues decreased
from $118,335 in the third quarter of 2011 to $78,110 in the third quarter of 2012, due to a decrease in average gas revenue price received from $4.82 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 to $2.20 per
Mcf for the same period in 2012. Gas production increased from 24,538 Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 to 35,453Mcf in the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the shut ins during the third quarter of
2011. Capital expenditures increased from $324,725 in the third quarter of 2011 to $2,733,543 in the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the costs associated with the facility improvement projects
and a new development well being drilled at Ship Shoal 182 during the third quarter 2012. Operating expenses decreased from $1,384,432 in the third quarter of 2011 to $1,170,790 for the same period in
2012.

Eugene
Island 339 net crude oil revenues were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012 due to suspended drilling activity and, therefore, no production in the third quarter of 2012 and
2011. Gas revenues were $0 in the third quarter 2011 and 2012 also as a result of the suspended drilling and, therefore, no gas production during the third quarter of 2011 and 2012. Capital
expenditures were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and $(42,673) in the third quarter of 2012. Operating expenses decreased from $4,924,382 in the third quarter of 2011 to $2,790,790 in the third
quarter of 2012 due primarily to decreased well and platform abandonment costs in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011.

West
Cameron 643 gas revenues were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and in the third quarter of 2012. Gas volumes were 0 Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012. There was no actual gas
production during the third quarter of 2011 and 2012 as a result of the field being shut-in following Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Operating expenses decreased from $2,391,767 in the
third quarter of 2011 to $0 in the third quarter of 2012. Capital expenditures were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012.

East
Cameron 371 crude oil revenues were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012 as a result of the field being shut-in following Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Production
was 0 barrels in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012. Gas revenues were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012 as a result of no gas volumes in the third quarter 2011 and 2012. Operating expenses and
capital expenditures were $0 in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012.

South
Timbalier 36/37 crude oil revenues decreased from $126,213 in the third quarter of 2011 to $119,784 for the same period in 2012 due primarily to a decrease in the average crude oil
price received from $117.45 per barrel in the third quarter of 2011 to $109.54 per barrel in the third quarter of 2012. Crude oil production volumes increased to 1,093 barrels in the third quarter of
2012 from 1,075 barrels in the third quarter of 2011. Gas revenues decreased from $ 14,330 in the third quarter 2011 to $7,046 in the third quarter of 2012 due primarily to a decrease in the average
natural gas price received. The average natural gas price received decreased from $4.54 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 to $2.37 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2012. There was a slight decrease
in natural gas volumes from 3,154 Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 to 2,977 Mcf in the third quarter of 2012. Capital expenditures increased from $1,701 in the third quarter of 2011 to $4,104 in the
third quarter of 2012 due primarily to increased drilling work that was conducted during the third quarter of 2012. Operating expenses decreased from $14,895 in the third quarter of 2011 to $10,489 in
the third quarter of 2012.

Eugene
Island 342 crude oil and gas revenues were $18.20 in the third quarter of 2011 and $0 in the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the field being shut in due to a leak in a
third-party pipeline.

There
was no production in the third quarter of 2011 and 2012 due to the field being shut in and all revenue mentioned above is due to a prior period accounting adjustment.

Crude
oil and condensate revenues decreased $1,999,680, or 39%, to $3,082,887 in the third quarter of 2012 from $5,082,567 in the third quarter of 2011. Oil volumes during the third
quarter of 2012 decreased 57% to 29,143 barrels, compared to 43,221 barrels of oil produced in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in volumes is due primarily to the shut-ins for
facility improvement projects at Ship Shoal 182/183 during the third quarter of 2012. The average price received for crude oil and condensate decreased 10%, or $11.80, to $105.79 per barrel in the
third quarter of 2012 from $117.59 per barrel in the third quarter of 2011.

Gas
revenues decreased $47,510, or 36%, to $85,155 in the third quarter of 2012 from $132,665 in the third quarter of 2011. Gas volumes during the third quarter of 2012 increased 39% to
38,430 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"), compared to 27,692 Mcf produced in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in volumes is primarily due to an adjustment that was made in 2011 to correct
volumes and values reported in a prior quarter as well as normal fluctuations in production. The average price received for natural gas was $2.22 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $4.79
per Mcf in the third quarter of 2011. Gas products revenue decreased $8,359, or 45%, to $10,183 in the third quarter of
2012 from $18,542 in the third quarter of 2011. Gas products volumes during the third quarter of 2012 decreased 4% to 14,068 gallons, compared to 14,597 gallons in the third quarter of 2011.

Capital
expenditures increased by $2,368,547, or 726%, from $326,427 in the third quarter of 2011 to $2,694,974 in the third quarter of 2012. The higher amount of capital expenditures
during the third quarter of 2012 relate primarily to the facility improvement projects at Ship Shoal 182/183 during the third quarter of 2012.

Production
expenses decreased by $2,412,800, or 36.1%, from $6,680,226 in the third quarter of 2011 to $4,267,426 in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating expenses is due
primarily to less well and platform abandonment work being conducted at Eugene Island 339 in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Reflected within the production
expenses are management fees to Chevron, as Managing General Partner of the Partnership, of $356,517 and $295,358 for the third quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2012, respectively.

The
Royalty Properties had undistributed net loss of $3,814,240 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1,798,460 for the third quarter of 2011.

In
the third quarter of 2012, there were no funds released from or escrowed into the Special Cost Escrow account. As of September 30, 2012, $1,000 remained in the Special Cost
Escrow account. The funds held in the Special Cost Escrow account are not reflected in the condensed financial statements of the Trust. The Special Cost Escrow account is set aside for estimated
abandonment costs and future capital expenditures, as provided for in the Conveyance. For additional information relating to the Special Cost Escrow account, see "Special Cost Escrow
Account" below.

In
the third quarter of 2011, there were no funds released from or escrowed into the Special Cost Escrow account. As of September 30, 2011, $1,000 remained in the Special Cost
Escrow account.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011



Royalty income was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 because there were no positive Net Proceeds
attributable to the Royalty Properties due to damages inflicted to the Royalty Properties by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

General
and administrative expenses for the Trust were $617,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $345,451 for the nine months ended September 30,
2011. The increase is due primarily to the timing of the payment of expenses.

The
reserve for future Trust expenses decreased approximately $617,284 from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 due to payments for Trust expenses.

There
was no distributable income for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and therefore no distributions to unit holders.

For
the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Trust had undistributed net loss of $2,051,982, representing the Trust's portion of the undistributed net loss of $10,260,937
associated with the Royalty Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The cumulative undistributed net loss for the Trust was $6,738,912 as of September 30, 2012.
Undistributed net loss represents the amount of development and production costs associated with the Royalty that exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties during the period. An
undistributed net loss is carried forward and offset, in future periods, by positive proceeds earned by the related Working Interest Owner(s). The Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future
proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus applicable accrued interest.



The following financial and operational information has been based on information provided to the Corporate Trustee by the Managing
General Partner. The Trustees have no control over these operations or internal controls relating to this information.

Volumes and dollar amounts discussed below represent amounts recorded by the Working Interest Owners unless otherwise specified.

Ship
Shoal 182/183 crude oil revenues decreased from $11,921,357 in the first nine months of 2011 to $8,646,163 in the same period in 2012, due primarily to a decrease in net crude oil
production from 114,239 barrels in the first nine months of 2011 to 79,056 in the same period of 2012. The decrease in volumes was due to multiple shut ins for facility improvement projects during the
second and third quarter of 2012. The average crude oil price increased from $104.35 per barrel in the first nine months of 2011 to $109.37 per barrel for the same period in 2012. Gas revenues
decreased from $440,167 in the first nine months of 2011 to $272,513 in the same period of 2012. Gas production decreased from 105,143 Mcf in the first nine months of 2011 to 97,457 Mcf in the same
period of 2012. The natural gas sales price was $4.19 per Mcf in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $2.80 per Mcf in the first nine months of 2012. Capital expenditures increased from $956,995
in the first nine months of 2011 to $4,377,145 in the same period of 2012, as a result of the costs associated with the facility improvement projects. Due to the same reason, operating expenses also
increased from $3,279,122 in the first nine months of 2011 to $3,487,628 for the same period in 2012.

South
Timbalier 36/37 crude oil revenues increased from $367,274 in the first nine months of 2011 to $397,752 for the same period in 2012 due primarily to an increase in the average
crude oil price received from $101.65 per barrel in the first nine months of 2011 to $113.84 per barrel for the same period in 2012. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in crude oil
production volumes to 3,494 barrels in the first nine months of 2012 from 3,613 barrels in the first nine months of 2011. Gas revenues decreased from $38,537 in the first nine months of 2011 to
$27,428 in the first nine months of 2012. The natural gas sales price was $4.26 per Mcf in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $3.00 per Mcf in the first nine months of 2012. There was an
increase in natural gas volumes from 9,037 Mcf in the first nine months of 2011 to 9,149 Mcf in the first nine months of 2012. Capital expenditures decreased from $35,665 in the first nine months of
2011 to $16,501 in the first nine months of 2012 due primarily to less drilling work that was conducted during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Operating expenses
decreased from $31,248 in the first nine months of 2011 to $24,961 in the first nine months of 2012.

Eugene
Island 342 crude oil and gas revenues decreased from $18.20 in the first nine months of 2011 to $0 for the same period in 2012. There was no production in 2011 due to the field
being shut in during the first quarter of 2011 due to a leak in a third-party pipeline and all revenue mentioned above is due to a prior period accounting adjustment.

Crude
oil and condensate revenues decreased $3,244,716, or 26%, to $9,043,915 in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to $12,288,631 for the same period in 2011, due primarily to
decreased oil volumes. Oil volumes decreased 30% to 82,551 barrels in the first nine months of 2012 from 117,850 barrels in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease in volumes is due primarily to
the shut-ins for facility improvement projects at Ship Shoal 182/183 during the second and third quarter of 2012. The average price received for crude oil and condensate increased 5%, or
$5.29,
to $109.56 per barrel in the first nine months of 2012 from $104.27 per barrel in the first nine months of 2011.

Gas
revenues decreased $178,765, or 37%, to $299,940 in the first nine months of 2012 from $478,705 for the same period in 2011. Gas volumes decreased 7% to 106,605 Mcf in the first nine
months of 2012 from 114,180 Mcf for the same period in 2011. The decrease in volumes is due primarily to the shut-ins for facility improvement projects at Ship Shoal 182/183 during the
second and third quarter of 2012. The average price received for natural gas decreased 33%, or $1.38, to $2.81 per Mcf in the first nine months of 2012 from $4.19 per Mcf in the same period of 2011.
Gas products revenue decreased $11,769, or 25%, to $35,718 in the first nine months of 2012 from $47,487 in the same period of 2011, primarily due to a decrease in the average price received of $0.36,
or 27%, to $0.98 per gallon in the first nine months of 2012 from $1.34 per gallon in the same period of 2011. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in production volume of 917 gallons, or
3%, to 36,366 gallons in the first nine months of 2012 from 35,449 gallons in the same period of 2011.

Capital
expenditures increased $3,350,778, or 338%, from $992,662 in the first nine months of 2011 to $4,343,440 in the same period of 2012. The higher amount of capital expenditures
during the first nine months of 2012 and relate primarily to the facility improvement projects at Ship Shoal 182/183 during the second and third quarter of 2012.

Production
expenses decreased by $613,538, or 4%, from $15,801,648 in the first nine months of 2011 to $15,188,111 in the first nine months of 2012, due primarily to increased well and
platform abandonment work being conducted at Eugene Island 339 in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Reflected within the production expenses are management fees to
Chevron, as Managing General Partner of the Partnership, of $862,402 and $842,072 for the first nine months of 2011 and the first nine months of 2012, respectively.

The
Royalty Properties had undistributed net loss of $10,260,936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In
the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, no funds were released or escrowed from the Special Cost Escrow account.

Operational Review

The following operational information has been based on information provided to the Corporate Trustee by Chevron as the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership. The Trustees have no control over these operations or internal controls relating to this information.

The
platforms and wells on Eugene Island 339 were completely destroyed by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Crude oil revenues from Eugene Island 339 represented approximately 48% of the
crude oil and condensate revenues for the Royalty Properties in 2007 and approximately 47% of such revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Eugene Island 339 contributed
approximately 12% of the revenues from natural gas sales from the Royalty Properties in 2007 and approximately 41% of such revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Based on a
prior year reserve study prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, independent petroleum engineering consultants, Eugene Island 339 accounted for approximately 34% of the total future net revenues
attributable to the Partnership's interest in the Royalty as of October 31, 2007. Chevron has completed the plugging and abandonment of the existing wells and platforms and completed the site
clearance trawling at both locations. Chevron is still waiting on final approval from the Bureau of Safety and Environment Enforcement ("BSEE") of the abandonment work. As of the October 31,
2011 reserve report, the estimate of the aggregate cost to plug and abandon the wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene

Island 339
had increased to approximately $17.6 million. In September 2012, Chevron informed the Trust that the estimate of the aggregate cost to the Royalty to plug and abandon the
wells subject to the Royalty on Eugene Island 339 had further increased to approximately $19.8 million, approximately $19.2 million of which had been incurred through July 31,
2012, without giving credit for an expected approximately $212,000 of insurance proceeds to be received by Chevron and to be allocated for the benefit of the Royalty with respect to Eugene Island 339.

Generally,
if production ceases from an outer continental shelf lease, like that for Eugene Island 339, production must be restored or drilling operations must commence within
180 days of the cessation of production (which was in early March 2009 with respect to Eugene Island 339 given the cessation of production in September 2008 resulting from Hurricane Ike), or
the lease will be terminated. Alternatively, an operator of a lease may seek a Suspension of Production, or "SOP", that, if approved by the regional supervisor of the BOEM, allows additional time to
restore production in the event of certain circumstances, such as hurricanes and other events beyond the control of the operator. Chevron, as the operator of Eugene Island 339, sought and obtained an
SOP for Eugene Island 339 for the period from December 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011. Chevron had previously sought and obtained an SOP providing for the staged redevelopment of
Eugene Island 339 and the adjacent lease, Eugene Island 338 (which is not a Royalty Property), as a single development project, contingent upon meeting certain obligations established in the SOP. The
initial SOP extended the lease on Eugene Island 339 until November 30, 2010. A subsequent SOP extended the lease from December 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011, as long as certain
SOP milestones were met. The first milestone, "issue Jacket and Pile Material Order (MTO) Drawings to fabrication contractor," due prior to April 30, 2011, was met and Chevron so informed the
BOEM. The second milestone, "continuation of offshore deck refurbishment," due prior to May 30, 2011, was met and Chevron so informed the BOEM. Additional SOP milestones included a report on
deck refurbishment due prior to August 30, 2011, and commencement of jacket and pile fabrication prior to October 30, 2011, both of which were also met. Chevron is required to provide
the BOEM with periodic updates on the progress of the redevelopment of Eugene Island and to meet each of the SOP activity schedule deadlines to maintain the SOP. The second SOP (December 1,
2010 through October 31, 2011) expired on October 31, 2011. A third SOP was requested and was granted covering the period of time from October 31, 2011, through August 31,
2012. The third SOP requires meeting development and construction milestones prior to August 31, 2012, with the restoration of production in October 2012. A fourth SOP was requested by the
third party with whom Chevron entered into a participation agreement, Arena Offshore, LP, ("Arena") and the SOP request was approved by the BSEE and covers the period of time from
September 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012. The fourth SOP requires Arena to complete loadout, installation, and hook-up and commence drilling on Lease OCS-G 2318
by October 31, 2012 and commence production on the lease by December 31, 2012. Arena successfully completed installation of the remaining topside decks of the structure as of
August 4, 2012 and commenced mobilization of the H&P 100 platform rig components on August 16, 2012. Arena spud the OCS-G 2318 Well No. K002 on September 28,
2012.

In
December 2009, Chevron entered into a participation agreement with Arena to assist in the redevelopment of Eugene Island 338 and 339. The redevelopment plan provided that three wells
were to be drilled from a common open water location in Eugene Island 338 in the second quarter of 2010. The first well of the three-well drilling program had been drilled; however,
drilling activity was suspended and the drilling rig moved off location in July 2010. Chevron's inability to obtain related drilling permits in a timely basis under the new guidelines issued by the
BOEM on June 8, 2010,

27

---



following
the oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico related to the sinking of theDeepwater Horizondrilling rig, pursuant to Notice to Lessees
No. 2010-N05, "Increased Safety Measures for Energy Development on the OCS", caused the parties to such participation agreement to revise and amend the participation agreement. The
revised redevelopment plan provides for setting a platform at Eugene Island 338 and drilling wells into Eugene Island 339 and Eugene Island 338 from such platform. The revised redevelopment plan
retains the original estimate for first production from Eugene Island 339 of the fourth quarter of 2012.

By
letter dated May 9, 2011, Chevron informed the Trust that, under such participation agreement with the third party, the third party holds the right to earn an assignment of 65%
of Chevron's working interest in the Eugene Island 339 properties. Chevron holds a 50% interest in Eugene Island 339, which interest is included in the 5500' and the 4500' sand units; 42.05% of all
production from the 5500' sand unit is allocated to Eugene Island 339 and 38.50% of the gas production and 24.44% of the oil production from the 4500' sand unit is allocated to Eugene Island 339.
Pursuant to the terms of the Conveyance, Chevron may enter into a farmout agreement whereby Chevron assigns any portion of its interest in the Royalty Properties free and clear of the Royalty, and the
Royalty will be reduced in the same proportion as that in which the Royalty Property is reduced. Under the terms of the Conveyance, a "farmout agreement" is defined as an agreement with a third party
requiring or permitting the performance of drilling or development operations on a Royalty Property, and for which all or substantially all of the consideration is the transfer of an interest in a
Royalty Property. Because Chevron's working interests will, upon any assignment as may be earned under such participation agreement, be reduced by 65%, the Royalty held by the Partnership with respect
to such properties will, effective as of the date of such assignment, be reduced proportionately. According to Chevron, as a result of any assignment that may be earned and delivered under such
participation agreement, neither Chevron nor the Trust will, except in the event of any subsequent amendment(s) of the participation agreement, bear the cost of the redevelopment of Eugene Island 339
under the terms of such participation agreement. Chevron and the Trust will bear the proportionately reduced post-redevelopment costs incurred for each Eugene Island 339 Royalty Property.

Restoration
of production at Eugene Island 338 and 339 is a complex process, requires various governmental permits, and cannot be assured at this time. The costs for the redevelopment
project would be significant. Failure or inability to pursue such a redevelopment, or to satisfy the activity schedule approved by the BOEM, could result in a loss of the lease covering Eugene Island
339. At this time, there is and can be no assurance that each activity schedule date will be met or that an additional SOP will be approved by the BOEM or that production will be restored at Eugene
Island 339. Additionally, the Trust cannot predict at this time the further impact that the changes in regulatory requirements resulting from the oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico related to
the sinking of theDeepwater Horizondrilling rig may have on the redevelopment of Eugene Island 339.

Production
at Ship Shoal 182/183 ceased following damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. While the hurricane caused limited surface damage to the facilities at Ship Shoal
182/183, all of the wells at Ship Shoal 182/183 were shut-in following hurricane-related damage to a third-party transporter's natural gas pipeline. Crude oil revenues from Ship Shoal
182/183 represented approximately 50% of the crude oil and condensate revenues for the Royalty Properties in 2007 and approximately 51% of such revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. Ship Shoal 182/183 contributed approximately 77% of the revenues from natural gas sales from the Royalty Properties in 2007 and approximately 42% of such revenues for the nine months ended
September 30,

28

---



2008.
A limited volume of oil production was restored in November 2008. The volume of oil production that can be produced is limited by the amount of gas that is also produced by the oil wells. The
third-party transporter's natural gas pipeline repairs were completed and gas sales at Ship Shoal 182/183 were restored on June 26, 2009. However, the pipeline was shut down in
mid-September 2009 for additional repairs. Production sales for both oil and natural gas at Ship Shoal 182 and 183 were restored on October 8, 2009 following completion of such
additional repairs. Oil and gas production at Ship Shoal 182/183 ceased in March 2010 due to a leak in the oil pipeline that services Ship Shoal 182/183. Such oil pipeline was subsequently repaired
and Ship Shoal 182/183 was reopened on May 1, 2010 after a 36-day shut-in. In November 2010, the platform at Ship Shoal 182/183 was shut-in for a scheduled
tank replacement and production has slowly returned thereafter.

In
addition, production from West Cameron 643 and East Cameron 371 ceased following damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike in September 2008 to third-party transporters' pipelines. Chevron,
as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, understands that, as a result of the cessation of production at West Cameron 643 due to the damages inflicted by Hurricane Ike to a third-party
transporter's pipeline, Hilcorp submitted to the BOEM a program to restore production at West Cameron 643 and such request was granted. The approval by the BOEM expired by its terms on May 31,
2010, and Chevron has been informed by Hilcorp that it submitted to the BOEM a request for an extension but that such request was denied. Accordingly, the lease for West Cameron 643 expired on
May 31, 2010. Chevron has been informed by Hilcorp that Hilcorp completed the plugging and abandoning of the wells at West Cameron 643 in October 2012. The field operator for East Cameron 371
has reported to Chevron that a review of the remaining reserves for East Cameron 371 has been conducted, and that the wells at East Cameron 371 have been depleted. The lease for East Cameron
371 expired on March 31, 2010 and field abandonment work, including the related wells, equipment platforms and any field infrastructure, remains to be completed.

Production
from Eugene Island 342 ceased in the first quarter of 2011 because a third-party pipeline from the field was shut in due to a leak. Chevron has been informed by Apache
Corporation, the operator of Eugene Island 342, that production resumed on July 26, 2012. At the time of such notification, Apache Corporation indicated that production was 1,251 barrels of
crude oil per day.

In
January 2010, the Trust engaged an independent oil and gas accounting firm to review the books and records of certain Working Interest Owners with respect to the Royalty Properties
and the related payments to the Trust. Such audit review process is currently on-going and may result in certain adjustments to revenues, production volumes, prices and expenditures. As
part of such process, Chevron agreed that $22,197 in adjustments were appropriate, which were credited in the first quarter of 2011. Chevron did not pay this amount to the Partnership or the Trust,
but credited such amount against the Partnership's share of allocated expenses for the Royalty Properties. Chevron also agreed that $608,409 of expenses with respect to Eugene Island 339 in the first
quarter of 2009 that were previously allocated to the Partnership should have been charged to Chevron. Credit for $287,594 of such amount was made in the second quarter of 2011, with the remaining
$320,815 credited in the third quarter of 2011. No assurance can be provided as to the ultimate outcome of such audit review process.

(1)Amounts
are based on actual production for the three- and nine- month period ended July 31 of each year, respectively.(2)Undistributed
net loss represents the amount of development and production costs associated with the Royalty that exceed the proceeds of production from the
Royalty Properties during the period. An undistributed net loss is carried forward and offset, in future periods, by positive proceeds earned by the related Working Interest Owner(s). The Trust will
not receive Net Proceeds until future proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus applicable accrued interest. Undistributed net income represents positive Net Proceeds,
generated during the respective period, but not distributed by the Working Interest Owners.(3)The
Net Proceeds with respect to Hilcorp's ownership of West Cameron 643 are calculated separately from the determination of Net Proceeds with respect to
the other Royalty Properties. Similarly, the Net Proceeds with respect to ERT's ownership of East Cameron 371 are calculated separately from the determination of Net Proceeds with respect to the other
Royalty Properties. No further Net Proceeds are expected with respect to these two properties; and any excess Production Costs associated with these properties are not expected to be taken into
account with respect to the calculation of Net Proceeds with respect to the other Royalty Properties.

(4)See
"Trustee's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 4 to
the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a discussion regarding uncertainty of distributions.


Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting.The Trust's condensed financial statements are prepared on a modified cash basis, which is a comprehensive basis of
accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. This method of accounting is consistent with reporting of taxable income to the Trust unitholders. The most significant differences
between the Trust's condensed financial statements and those prepared in accordance with GAAP are:



This
manner of reporting income and expenses is considered to be the most meaningful because the quarterly distributions to Unit holders are based on net cash receipts received from the
Working Interest Owners. The condensed financial statements of the Trust differ from condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because, under
such principles, Royalty income and Trust general and administrative expenses for a quarter would be recognized on an accrual basis. In addition, amortization of the net overriding royalty interest,
calculated on a units-of-production basis, is charged directly to Trust corpus since such amount does not affect distributable income. This comprehensive basis of accounting
other than GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty
Trusts.

The
accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Trust will continue as a going concern. Financial statements prepared on the going concern basis
assume the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The lack of Net Proceeds and the inability to maintain adequate cash reserves raise substantial
doubt about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. Certain potential alternatives available to the Trustees are described in Note 6 to the condensed financial statements. The
condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Notes 2 and 6 to the condensed financial statements.

31

---





The
Trustees, including the Corporate Trustee, have no authority over, have not evaluated and make no statement concerning, the internal control over financial reporting of any of the
Working Interest Owners.

Amortization of Overriding Royalty Interest.The Trust amortizes the investment in net profits interest using the
units-of-production method. The Trust's of recording amortization is dependent upon the estimates of total proved reserves, which incorporates various assumptions and future
projections. If the estimates of total proved reserves decline significantly, the rate at which the Trust records amortization expense would increase, reducing Trust corpus. Such a decline in reserves
may result from lower commodity prices, which may make it uneconomic to produce from higher cost fields. The Trust is unable to predict changes in reserve quantity estimates as such quantities are
dependent on future economic and operational conditions.

Impairment of Investment in Overriding Royalty Interest.The Trust reviews net overriding royalty interests in oil and gas properties
for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, the Trust prepares an estimate of future cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an
impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on the Corporate Trustee's
best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. There were no write downs taken in the periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended September 30, 2012 applicable to the Trust or its
condensed financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Trust has no off-balance sheet arrangements. The Trust has not guaranteed the debt of any other party, nor does the
Trust have any other arrangements or relationships with other entities that could potentially result in unconsolidated debt, losses or contingent obligations.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The only assets of and sources of income to the Trust are cash and the Trust's interest in the Partnership, which is the holder of the
Royalty. Consequently, the Trust is exposed to market risk associated with the Royalty from fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Reference is also made to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The
Trust may borrow money to pay expenses of the Trust. Additionally, if development and production costs of the Royalty exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties,
the Trust will not receive Net Proceeds until future proceeds from production exceed the total of the excess costs plus accrued interest, at a rate equal to one-fourth of
(i) one-half of one percent plus (ii) the median between the prime interest rate at the end of a quarterly period in which there are excess costs and the prime interest rate
at the end of the preceding quarterly period, during the deficit period. Consequently, the Trust will be exposed to interest rate market risk should it borrow money to pay

expenses
and to the extent that development and production costs of the Royalty exceed the proceeds of production from the Royalty Properties.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.The Corporate Trustee maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure
that
information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Trust is accumulated and communicated by Chevron, as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, and the Working Interest Owners to the Corporate Trustee of the Trust, and its employees who
participate in the preparation of the Trust's periodic reports as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporate Trustee carried out an evaluation of the Trust's disclosure controls and procedures. Mike Ulrich, as Trust Officer of
the Corporate Trustee, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust are effective.

Due
to the contractual arrangements of (i) the Trust Agreement, (ii) the Partnership Agreement and (iii) the rights of the Partnership under the Conveyance regarding
information furnished by the Working Interest Owners, the Trustees rely on (A) information provided by the Working Interest Owners, including historical operating data, plans for future
operating and capital expenditures, reserve information and information relating to projected production, (B) information from the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, including
information that is collected from the Working Interest Owners, and (C) conclusions and reports regarding reserves by the Trust's independent reserve
engineers. See Item 1A. Risk Factors "The Trustees and the Unit holders have no control over the operation or development of the Royalty Properties and have little influence over
operation or development" and "The Trustees rely upon the Working Interest Owners and Managing General Partner for information regarding the Royalty Properties" in the 2011
Form 10-K for a description of certain risks relating to these arrangements and reliance on and applicable adjustments to operating information when reported by the Working Interest
Owners to the Corporate Trustee and recorded in the Trust's results of operation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.During the three months ended September 30, 2012, there has been no change
in the
Trust's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. The Corporate
Trustee notes for purposes of clarification that it has no authority over, and makes no statement concerning, the internal control over financial reporting of the Working Interest Owners or the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

The Trust continues to utilize its cash reserves to pay expenses, and there are not likely to be sufficient Net
Proceeds distributed to the Trust for the foreseeable future to enable the Trust to
pay expenses on a current basis. The Trustees have taken certain actions on behalf of the Trust as permitted under the Trust Agreement, which could materially impact the Unit
holders.

The
Trust's source of capital is the Royalty income received from its share of the Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties. The Trust has not received a distribution of Net Proceeds
since December 2008, and there are not likely to be positive Net Proceeds from the Royalty Properties for the foreseeable future. The Trust continues to utilize its cash reserves to pay expenses;
however, as of September 30, 2012, those reserves were approximately 42% of the average annual expenses of the Trust during the three-year period ended September 30, 2012.

Based
on the continuing expenses of the Trust and the lack of any distributions and any assurances as to the actual timing of any future distributions, on July 11, 2012, the
Trustees provided written notice to Chevron that, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust needed funds to pay for liabilities of the Trust and that the Trustees therefore instructed Chevron, as the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership, to sell a portion of the Royalty so that the Trust will have sufficient funds to pay its liabilities. The Trustees initiated contact with RNR Production to
determine its interest in purchasing the additional five percent (5%) of the Royalty pursuant to an Option Agreement entered into between the Partnership and RNR Production in connection with the
Partnership's previous sale of 20% of the Royalty to RNR Production. In addition, and pursuant to the Option Agreement, Chevron, as the Managing General partner of the Partnership, provided RNR
Production with formal notice that the Partnership would be marketing additional Royalty interests and that RNR Production must exercise its option to purchase the additional Royalty within ten days
of the receipt of such notice. RNR Production has indicated that it is not interested in purchasing an additional part of the Royalty at this time pursuant to the Option Agreement. Accordingly, the
Trustees have evaluated the alternatives available to the Trust and by letter dated October 16, 2012, provided written notice to Chevron to proceed with an alternative sale process to sell such
portion, and only such portion, of the Royalty that will provide the Trust with a current distribution equal to $1,000,000 from the proceeds of such sale. Based on a recommendation from Chevron, as
the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, Chevron is marketing for sale by the Partnership the entire Royalty; however, the Trust has reserved the right and expects to sell only a portion of
the Royalty. Also based on a recommendation from Chevron, Chevron has engaged EnergyNet.com to conduct the marketing process and related auction of the Royalty. EnergyNet.com handled the Partnership's
sale of a portion of the Royalty to RNR Production in 2011. The Trustees are in ongoing discussions with Chevron regarding the sales process. There can be no assurance that such a sale of interests in
the Royalty will be consummated, or as to the terms, conditions and timing of such a sale of interests in the Royalty. In addition, there is no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from any such sale
of interests in the Royalty will be sufficient to fund the continuing expenses of the Trust and the Trustees shall continue to evaluate all other options available for the Trust.
