CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1. Financial Statements. The condensed financial statements included herein are presented, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Trustee believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Trusts latest Annual Report on Form
10-K. In the opinion of the Trustee, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Cross Timbers Royalty
Trust at March 31, 2020, and the distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been included. Distributable income for such interim periods is not necessarily indicative of
the distributable income for the full year. The condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2020, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been subjected to a review by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the
Trusts independent registered public accounting firm, whose report is included herein.  4

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Unitholders of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust and Simmons
Bank, Trustee Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the Trust) as of
March 31, 2020, and the related condensed statements of distributable income and of changes in trust corpus for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the
interim financial statements). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with the modified cash basis of
accounting described in Note 1. We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the statements of assets, liabilities and trust corpus as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of distributable income and of changes in trust corpus for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
March 12, 2020, which included a paragraph describing the modified cash basis of accounting, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of
assets, liabilities and trust corpus as of December 31, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statements of assets, liabilities and trust corpus from which it has been derived. Basis for Review Results These interim financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Basis of Accounting As described in Note 1,
these financial statements were prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Dallas, Texas May 11, 2020  5

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST  Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements(Unaudited)  1.
Basis of Accounting The financial statements of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the Trust) are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to
present financial position and results of operations in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP):  

Net profits income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by XTO Energy Inc., the owner of the
underlying properties, to Simmons Bank, as trustee (the Trustee) for the Trust. XTO Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Net profits income consists of net proceeds received by XTO Energy from the underlying
properties in the prior month, multiplied by net profit percentages of 90% for the 90% net profits interests, and 75% for the 75% net profits interests.  

Costs deducted in the calculation of net proceeds for the 90% net profits interests generally include applicable
taxes, transportation, marketing and legal costs. In addition to those costs, the 75% net profits interests include deductions for production expense, development costs, operating charges and other costs.  

Net profits income is computed separately for each of five conveyances under which the net profits interests were
conveyed to the Trust. If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from the other conveyances.  

Interest income and distribution payable to unitholders include interest earned on the previous months
investment.  

Trust expenses are recorded based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established by the Trustee for
liabilities and contingencies.  

Distributions to unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trustee. The Trusts financial statements differ from those prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP because revenues are recognized when received
rather than accrued in the month of production, expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred, and certain cash reserves may be established by the Trustee for contingencies which would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP. This
comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. 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. Most accounting pronouncements apply to entities whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, directing
such entities to accrue or defer revenues and expenses in a period other than when such revenues were received or expenses were paid. Because the Trusts financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis, as described above, most
accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the Trusts financial statements.  9

##### Table of Contents

Impairment of Net Profits Interests The Trustee reviews the Trusts net profits interests (NPI) in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the NPI may not be recoverable. In general, the Trustee does not view temporarily low prices as an indication of impairment. The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a history of significant
price volatility and though prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand. If events and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, the
Trustee would use the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI to evaluate the recoverability of the Trust assets. If the undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI are less than the NPI carrying value, the Trust would
recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the NPI carrying value and the estimated fair value of the NPI. The determination as to whether the NPI is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by the Trustee and is based on the
best information available to the Trustee at the time of the evaluation, including information provided by XTO Energy such as estimates of future production and development and operating expenses. During the first quarter of 2020, short term oil price forecasts declined significantly primarily due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and market factors, including supply and demand. Although temporary low prices generally are not viewed as an indication of impairment, due to the significance of the current facts and
circumstances, a trigger event occurred in the first quarter of 2020 for the 75% NPI indicating a need for further analysis. An assessment of the undiscounted future net cash flows for the 75% NPI was performed and it was determined that such cash
flows exceeded the carrying value of the 75% NPI. Accordingly, there was no impairment of the NPI as of March 31, 2020. The Trustee will continue to monitor the NPI for impairment in future periods in light of continued price volatility
following March 31, 2020. Impairments recorded for book purposes will not result in a loss for tax purposes for the unitholders until the loss is recognized. Net profits interests in oil and gas properties The initial carrying value of the net profits interests of $61,100,449 represents XTO Energys historical net book value for the interests
on February 12, 1991, the creation date of the Trust. Amortization of the net profits interests is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is charged directly
to trust corpus. Accumulated amortization was $53,241,817 as of March 31, 2020 and $52,938,654 as of December 31, 2019.  2.
Income Taxes For federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust that is taxed as a grantor trust. A grantor trust is not
subject to tax at the trust level. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. The unitholders are considered to own the Trusts income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of
the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each unitholder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust and not when distributed by the Trust. Impairments recorded for book purposes will not result in a loss for tax
purposes for the unitholders until the loss is recognized. All revenues from the Trust are from sources within Texas, Oklahoma or New
Mexico. Because it distributes all of its net income to unitholders, the Trust has not been taxed at the trust level in New Mexico or Oklahoma. While the Trust has not owed tax, the Trustee is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return
reflecting the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to properties located in that state, along with a schedule that includes information regarding distributions to unitholders. Oklahoma and New Mexico tax the income of nonresidents from
real property located within those states, and the Trust has been advised by counsel that such states will tax nonresidents on income from  10




---

##### Table of Contents

the net profits interests located in those states. Oklahoma and New Mexico also impose a corporate income tax that may apply to unitholders organized as corporations (subject to certain
exceptions for S corporations and limited liability companies, depending on their treatment for federal tax purposes). Texas imposes a
franchise tax at a rate of 0.75% on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas franchise tax statutes. Entities subject to tax generally include trusts and most other types of entities that provide limited
liability protection, unless otherwise exempt. Trusts that receive at least 90% of their federal gross income from certain passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other non-operated
mineral interest income, and do not receive more than 10% of their income from operating an active trade or business, generally are exempt from the Texas franchise tax as passive entities. The Trust has been and expects to continue to be
exempt from Texas franchise tax as a passive entity. Because the Trust should be exempt from Texas franchise tax at the trust level as a passive entity, each unitholder that is a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax will generally be
required to include its Texas portion of trust revenues in its own Texas franchise tax computation. This revenue is sourced to Texas under provisions of the Texas Administrative Code providing that such income is sourced according to the principal
place of business of the Trust, which is Texas. The Trust could potentially be required to bear a portion of the amounts paid by XTO to
resolve the royalty claims asserted in the Chieftain class action lawsuit. For information on contingencies, see Note 3 to Condensed Financial Statements. In the event that the Trust is determined to be responsible for such costs, XTO may
deduct the costs in its calculation of the net profits income payable to the Trust from the applicable net profits interests. Thus, for unitholders, these costs will be reflected through a reduction in net profits income received from the Trust and
thus in a reduction in the gross royalty income reported by and taxable to the unitholders. In the event that the Trustee objects to such claimed reductions, the Trustee may also incur legal fees in representing the Trusts interests. For
unitholders, such costs would be reflected through an increase in the Trusts administrative expenses, which would be deductible by unitholders in determining the net royalty income from the Trust. However, as discussed in Note 3 to Condensed
Financial Statements, the Trustee and XTO have entered into an agreement regarding the timing of XTO making the accounting entries to allocate to the Trust its proportional share of the Chieftain settlement. Each unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding income tax requirements, if any, applicable to such persons ownership
of Trust units. Unitholders should consult the Trusts latest annual report on Form 10-K for
a more detailed discussion of federal and state tax matters.  3.
Contingencies Litigation A
federal district court approved the settlement of a royalty class action lawsuit against XTO Energy Inc. (Chieftain Royalty Company v. XTO Energy Inc.) in March 2018. In July 2018, the class plaintiffs submitted their plan to allocate the
settlement funds among members of the class. After that plan of allocation was approved, XTO Energy advised the Trustee that, based upon that plan, approximately $40,000 should be allocated to the Trust as additional production costs. The Trustee has objected to similar claims relating to the Chieftain settlement with respect to another trust for which it serves as
trustee (the Hugoton Royalty Trust) pursuant to a demand for arbitration styled Simmons Bank (successor to Southwest Bank and Bank of America, N.A.) vs. XTO Energy Inc. through the American Arbitration Association seeking a declaratory
judgment that the Chieftain  11




---

##### Table of Contents

settlement is not a production cost and that XTO Energy is prohibited from charging the settlement as a production cost under the conveyance or otherwise reducing the Hugoton Royalty Trusts
payments now or in the future as a result of the Chieftain litigation. Therefore, the Trustee and XTO have agreed that XTO will defer making the accounting entries to allocate to the Trust its proportional share of the Chieftainsettlement until the panel in the pending arbitration issues its final award on the Trustees request for a declaratory judgment. The Trustee intends to review any claimed reductions in payment to the Trust based on the facts and
circumstances of the settlement. Other Several states have enacted legislation requiring state income tax withholding from payments made to nonresident recipients of oil and gas
proceeds. After consultation with its tax counsel, the Trustee believes that it is not required to withhold on payments made to the unitholders. However, regulations are subject to change by the various states, which could change this conclusion.
Should amounts be withheld on payments made to the Trust or the unitholders, distributions to the unitholders would be reduced by the required amount, subject to the filing of a claim for refund by the Trust or unitholders for such amount.  4.
Excess Costs If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of
that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from other conveyances. The following summarizes excess costs activity, cumulative excess
costs balances and accrued interest to be recovered by conveyance:  UnderlyingTX WI

XTO Energy Inc. In computing net proceeds for the 75% net profits interests, XTO Energy deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with
monitoring these interests. This monthly overhead charge at March 31, 2020 was $41,705 ($31,279 NPI) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. XTO Energy deducts a monthly overhead charge for reimbursement of administrative expenses as operator of the Hewitt Unit, which is one of the
properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. As of March 31, 2020, this monthly charge was approximately $29,000 ($22,000 NPI) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. Other than this
property, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil do not operate or control any of the underlying properties or related working interests. Item 2. Trustees Discussion and Analysis. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Trustees discussion and analysis contained in the Trusts 2019 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as well as the condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports are available on the Trusts
web site at www.crt-crosstimbers.com. Distributable Income For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net profits income was $2,023,519 compared to $1,335,885 for first quarter 2019. This 51% increase in net profits
income is primarily the result of increased oil and gas production ($0.3 million), increased oil prices ($0.2 million), decreased taxes, transportation and other costs ($0.2 million), net excess costs activity ($0.1 million), and decreased
development costs ($0.1 million), partially offset by decreased gas prices ($0.2 million) and increased overhead ($0.1 million). See Net Profits Income below. After considering interest income of $4,293 and administration expense of $218,878, distributable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was
$1,808,934, or $0.301489 per unit of beneficial interest. Administration expense for the quarter decreased $40,694 from the prior year quarter, primarily related to the timing of receipt and payment of Trust expenses and terms of professional
services. Changes in interest income are attributable to fluctuations in net profits income and interest rates. For first quarter 2019, distributable income was $1,083,084, or $0.180514 per unit. Distributions to unitholders for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020 were:  Record Date

##### Table of Contents

Net Profits Income Net profits income is recorded when received by the Trust, which is the month following receipt by XTO Energy and generally two months after oil production and
three months after gas production. Net profits income is generally affected by three major factors:  

oil and gas sales volumes,  

oil and gas sales prices, and  

costs deducted in the calculation of net profits income. Because properties underlying the 90% net profits interests are primarily royalty and overriding royalty interests, the calculation of net profits income from
these interests includes deductions for production and property taxes, legal costs, and marketing and transportation charges. In addition to these costs, the calculation of net profits income from the 75% net profits interests includes deductions
for production expense, development costs and overhead since the related underlying properties are working interests.  14

%  (a)
Because of the interval between time of production and receipt of royalty income by the Trust, oil and
gas sales for the quarter ended March 31 generally represent oil production for the period November through January and gas production for the period October through December.  (b)
Oil and gas sales volumes are allocated to the net profits interests by dividing Trust net cash inflows
by average sales prices. As oil and gas prices change, the Trusts allocated production volumes are impacted as the quantity of production necessary to cover expenses changes inversely with price. As such, the underlying property production
volume changes may not correlate with the Trusts allocated production volumes in any given period. Therefore, comparative discussion of oil and gas sales volumes is based on the underlying properties.  (c)
Production expense includes an overhead charge which is deducted and retained by the operator. XTO
Energy deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. See Note 5 to Condensed Financial Statements.  (d)
See Note 4 to Condensed Financial Statements.  15

The following are explanations of significant variances on the underlying properties from first quarter 2019
to first quarter 2020: Sales Volumes Oil Oil sales volumes increased 14% from first quarter 2019 to first quarter 2020 primarily because of timing of cash receipts, partially offset by
natural production decline. Gas Gas sales
volumes increased 5% from first quarter 2019 to first quarter 2020 primarily because of timing of cash receipts, partially offset by natural production decline. The estimated rate of natural production decline on the underlying oil and gas properties is approximately 6% to 8% a year. Sales Prices Oil The average oil price increased 12% to $54.72 per Bbl for the first quarter. The first quarter 2020 oil price is primarily related to production from November
2019 through January 2020, when the average NYMEX price was $58.30 per Bbl. Gas Gas prices for the first quarter decreased 25% to $3.16 per Mcf. The first quarter 2020 gas price is primarily related to production from October through
December 2019, when the average NYMEX price was $2.50 per MMBtu. Beginning in March 2020 and continuing into the second quarter of 2020, numerous events
have continued to have a downward impact on sales prices of our products. The COVID-19 pandemic and the government responses to this pandemic have significantly decreased the demand for oil and
gas. It is not clear at the present time when or whether the pandemic will lift or when government policies may change. Additionally, market factors, including abundant supplies, have also negatively impacted prices. Even when demand
returns, it could take time for these accumulated supplies to decrease and a new market equilibrium to emerge. Costs Taxes, Transportation and Other Taxes,
transportation and other costs decreased 41% for the first quarter primarily because of decreased property taxes and the receipt of oil severance tax incentives. Production Expense Production expense increased
10% for the first quarter primarily because of timing of charges.  16

Development Costs Development costs related to properties underlying the 75% net profits interests decreased 84% for the first quarter primarily because of the absence of
drilling costs related to the Hewitt Unit. Excess Costs If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance
and cannot reduce net proceeds from any other conveyance. Underlying cumulative excess costs for the Texas working interest conveyance remaining as of March 31, 2020 totaled $2.3 million, including accrued interest of $0.4 million.
For further information on excess costs, see Note 4 to Condensed Financial Statements. Contingencies For information on contingencies, see Note 3 to Condensed Financial Statements. Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this report
relating to future plans, predictions, production, excess costs, litigation, arbitration, liquidity, financing, regulatory or court decisions, and the assumed public health necessary to carry out business activities are forward-looking statements.
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements regarding the net profits interests, underlying properties, development activities,
annual or monthly development, production and other costs and expenses, estimated rates of natural production decline, oil and gas prices and differentials to NYMEX prices, estimated changes in expenses, distributions to unitholders, and industry
and market conditions, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Part I, Item 1A of the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. XTO Energy and the Trustee assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Not applicable. Upon qualifying as a smaller reporting company, this information is no longer required. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Trustee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Trusts disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Trustee concluded that the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are effective in ensuring
that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Trustee to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In its
evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the Trustee has relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by XTO Energy. There has not been any change in the Trusts internal control over financial reporting during
the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trusts internal control over financial reporting.  17

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1A. Risk Factors. The recent spread of COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus, and the measures taken to mitigate the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic, are likely adversely affecting the business and operations of the operators of the properties underlying the net profits interests, which in turn could have an adverse
effect on Trust distributions. The business of the operators of the properties underlying the net profits interests is likely being adversely
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and measures being taken to mitigate its impact. As the coronavirus pandemic and government responses are rapidly evolving, the extent of the impact on
domestic sales of crude oil and natural gas remains unknown and is constantly evolving. The industry is experiencing a sharp and rapid decline in the demand for crude oil and natural gas as the U.S. and global economy, and commodity prices, are
being negatively impacted as economic activity is curtailed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as due to other geopolitical factors. Official restrictions on
non-essential activities, including shelter in place and stay at home orders, have recently been introduced throughout the U.S. and the world, which may impact operators
production activities and the length of time such measures are in place may further adversely affect Trust distributions. Fewer businesses than normal are open and fewer people are going to work which has reduced the demand for oil and natural gas,
plus our operators reliance on third-party suppliers, contractors, and service providers exposes them to possibility of delay or interruption of operations. At this time, the full extent to
which COVID-19 will negatively impact the global economy and the oil and gas industry is uncertain, but pandemics or other significant public health events will most likely have a material adverse
effect on operators business and financial condition which would likely have an adverse effect on Trust distributions. Risk factors relating to the
Trust are contained in Item 1A of the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Other than the item listed above, there have been no material changes in the risk
factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Item 6. Exhibits.  (31)
