SABINE ROYALTY TRUST

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements.

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Bank of America, N.A. (as successor to NationsBank, N.A.), as Trustee
(the Trustee) of Sabine Royalty Trust (the Trust), 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. The condensed financial statements of the Trust presented herein
are unaudited. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements and notes thereto be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trusts latest annual report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2012 condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus is derived from the audited statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus as of that date. In the opinion of the
Trustee, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Trust as of September 30, 2013, the distributable income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the
changes in trust corpus for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been included. The distributable income for such interim periods is not necessarily indicative of the distributable income for the full year.

The condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012,
included herein, have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Unit Holders of Sabine Royalty Trust and

Bank of America,
N.A., Trustee

Dallas, Texas

We have reviewed the
accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of Sabine Royalty Trust (the Trust) as of September 30, 2013, and the related condensed statements of distributable income for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and changes in trust corpus for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Trustee.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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.

As described in Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a modified cash basis
of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Based on
our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 2.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of assets,
liabilities, and trust corpus of Sabine Royalty Trust as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2013,
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, 2012 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the statement of assets, liabilities, and trust corpus from which it has been derived.

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. TRUST ORGANIZATION AND PROVISIONS

Sabine Royalty Trust (the Trust) was established by the Sabine Corporation Royalty Trust Agreement (the Trust
Agreement), made and entered into effective as of December 31, 1982, to receive a distribution from Sabine Corporation (Sabine) of royalty and mineral interests, including landowners royalties, overriding royalty
interests, minerals (other than executive rights, bonuses and delay rentals), production payments and any other similar, nonparticipatory interests, in certain producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas properties located in Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas (the Royalties).

Certificates evidencing units of beneficial interest (the
Units) in the Trust were mailed on December 31, 1982 to Sabines shareholders of record on December 23, 1982, on the basis of one Unit for each share of Sabines outstanding common stock. In May 1988, Sabine was
acquired by Pacific Enterprises (Pacific), a California corporation. Through a series of mergers, Sabine was merged into Pacific Enterprises Oil Company (USA) (Pacific (USA)), a California corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pacific, effective January 1, 1990. This acquisition and the subsequent mergers had no effect on the Units. Pacific (USA), as successor to Sabine, has assumed by operation of law all of Sabines rights and obligations with
respect to the Trust. The Units are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

In connection with the transfer of the Royalties to
the Trust upon its formation, Sabine had reserved to itself all executive rights, including rights to execute leases and to receive bonuses and delay rentals. In January 1993, Pacific (USA) completed the sale of substantially all its
producing oil and gas assets to a third party. The sale did not include executive rights relating to the Royalties, and Pacific (USA)s ownership of such rights was not affected by the sale.

Bank of America, N.A. (the Trustee), acts as trustee of the Trust. In 2007 the Bank of America private wealth management group
officially became known as U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management. The legal entity that serves as the Trustee of the Trust did not change, and references in this Form 10-Q to U.S.
Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management shall describe the legal entity Bank of America, N.A. The terms of the Trust Agreement provide, among other things, that:



| |  |  | The Trust shall not engage in any business or commercial activity of any kind or acquire assets other than those initially transferred to the Trust.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Trustee may not sell all or any part of its assets unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Units in which case the sale must be for cash and the proceeds, after satisfying all existing
liabilities, promptly distributed to Unit holders.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Trustee may establish a cash reserve for the payment of any liability that is contingent or uncertain in amount or that otherwise is not currently due or payable.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Trustee will use reasonable efforts to cause the Trust and the Unit holders to recognize income and expenses on monthly record dates.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Trustee is authorized to borrow funds to pay liabilities of the Trust provided that such borrowings are repaid in full before any further distributions are made to Unit holders.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Trustee will make monthly cash distributions to Unit holders of record on the monthly record date (see Note 3).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Because of the passive nature of the Trust and the restrictions and limitations on the powers and
activities of the Trustee contained in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee does not consider any of the officers and employees of the Trustee to be officers or executive officers of the Trust as such terms are defined under
applicable rules and regulations adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The proceeds of production from the Royalties are
receivable from hundreds of separate payors. In order to facilitate creation of the Trust and to avoid the administrative expense and inconvenience of daily reporting to Unit holders, the conveyances by Sabine of the Royalties located in five of the
six states provided for the execution of an escrow agreement by Sabine and the initial trustee of the Trust, in its capacities as trustee of the Trust and as escrow agent. The conveyances by Sabine of the Royalties located in Louisiana provided for
the execution of a substantially identical escrow agreement by Sabine and a Louisiana bank in the capacities of escrow agent and of trustee under the name of Sabine Louisiana Royalty Trust. Sabine Louisiana Royalty Trust, the sole beneficiary of
which is the Trust, was established in order to avoid uncertainty under Louisiana law as to the legality of the Trustees holding record title to the Royalties located in Louisiana. The Trust now only has one escrow agent, which is the Trustee,
and a single escrow agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement and the conveyances of the properties by Sabine, the
proceeds of production from the Royalties for each calendar month, and interest thereon, are collected by the Trustee, as escrow agent, and are paid to and received by the Trust only on the next monthly record date. The Trustee, as escrow agent, has
agreed to endeavor to assure that it incurs and pays expenses and fees for each calendar month only on the next monthly record date. The Trust Agreement also provides that the Trustee is to endeavor to assure that income of the Trust will be accrued
and received and expenses of the Trust will be incurred and paid only on each monthly record date. Assuming that the escrow agreement is recognized for federal income tax purposes and that the Trustee is able to control the timing of income and
expenses, as stated above, cash and accrual basis Unit holders should be treated as realizing income only on each monthly record date. The Trustee is treating the escrow agreement as effective for federal income tax purposes. However, for financial
reporting purposes, royalty and interest income are recorded in the calendar month in which the amounts are received by either the escrow agent or the Trust.

Distributable income as determined for financial reporting purposes for a given quarter will not usually equal the sum of distributions made
during that quarter. Distributable income for a given quarter will approximate the sum of the distributions made during the last two months of such quarter and the first month of the next quarter.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The
financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP):



| |  |  | Royalty income, net of severance and ad valorem tax, and interest income are recognized in the month in which amounts are received by the Trust (see Note 1).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trust expenses, consisting principally of routine general and administrative costs, include payments made during the accounting period. Expenses are accrued to the extent of amounts that become payable on the next
monthly record date following the end of an accounting period. Reserves for liabilities that are contingent or uncertain in amount may also be established if considered necessary.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Royalties that are producing properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method. This amortization is shown as a reduction of
Trust corpus.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Distributions to Unit holders are recognized when declared by the Trustee (see Note 3).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America because of the following:



| |  |  | Royalty income is recognized in the month received rather than in the month of production.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Expenses other than those expected to be paid on the following monthly record date are not accrued.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Amortization of the Royalties is shown as a reduction to Trust corpus and not as a charge to operating results.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reserves may be established for contingencies that would not be recorded under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Use of
Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the basis of accounting described above requires the Trustee to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

Impairment

The Trustee
routinely reviews the Trusts royalty interests in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an impairment event occurs and it is determined
that the carrying value of the Trusts royalty interests may not be recoverable, an impairment will be recognized as measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the royalty interests exceeds the fair value of these assets, which
would likely be measured by discounting projected cash flows. As of September 30, 2013, no impairment is required.

Distributable
Income per Unit

Basic distributable income per Unit is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average Units
outstanding. Distributable income per Unit assuming dilution is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average number of Units and equivalent Units outstanding. The Trust had no equivalent Units outstanding for any period
presented. Therefore, basic distributable income per Unit and distributable income per Unit assuming dilution are the same.

New
Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Trusts
financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

Federal Tax Considerations

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Trust is classified as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not
subject to taxation at the trust level. The Unit holders are considered, for federal income tax purposes, to own the Trusts income and principal as though no trust were in existence. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax expense has
been made in these financial statements. The income of the Trust will be deemed to have been received or accrued by each Unit holder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust (on the applicable monthly record date) if the escrow
arrangement discussed in Note 1 to these financial statements is respected by the Internal Revenue Service. In the absence of the escrow arrangement, Unit holders would be deemed to receive or accrue income from production from the royalty
properties (and interest income) on a daily basis, in accordance with their method of accounting, as the proceeds from production and interest thereon were received or accrued by the Trust. The Trustee is treating the escrow arrangement as effective
for federal income tax purposes and furnishes tax information to Unit holders on that basis.

The Royalties constitute economic
interests in oil and gas properties for federal income tax purposes. Unit holders must report their share of the revenues from the Royalties as ordinary income from oil and gas royalties and are entitled to claim depletion with respect to such
income. During the first nine months of 2013, the Trust also incurred administration expenses and earned interest income on funds held for distribution and for the cash reserve maintained for the payment of contingent and future obligations of
the Trust.

The classification of the Trusts income for purposes of the passive loss rules may be important to a Unit holder.
Royalty income generally is treated as portfolio income and does not offset passive losses.

Some Trust Units are held by middlemen, as
such term is broadly defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations (and includes custodians, nominees, certain joint owners, and brokers holding an interest for a customer in street name, referred to herein collectively as middlemen).
Therefore, the Trustee considers the Trust to be a non-mortgage widely held fixed investment trust (WHFIT) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth
Management, EIN: 56-0906609, 901 Main Street, 17th Floor, Dallas, Texas, 75202, telephone number (214) 209-2400, email address trustee@sbr-sabineroyalty.com, is the
representative of the Trust that will provide tax information in accordance with applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT. Tax information is also posted by the Trustee at www.sbr-sabineroyalty.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the middlemen holding Trust Units on behalf of Unit holders, and not the Trustee of the Trust, are solely responsible for complying with the information
reporting requirements under the U.S. Treasury Regulations with respect to such Trust Units, including the issuance of IRS Forms 1099 and certain written tax statements. Unit holders whose Trust Units are held by middlemen should consult with such
middlemen regarding the information that will be reported to them by the middlemen with respect to the Trust Units.

Each Unit holder
should consult his tax advisor regarding Trust tax compliance matters.

State Tax Considerations

The Trust holds properties located in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Unit holders should consult the
Trusts latest annual report on Form 10-K for a summary of tax matters.

Florida does not
have a personal income tax. Florida imposes an income tax on resident and nonresident corporations (except for S corporations not subject to the built-in-gains tax or
passive investment income tax), which will be applicable to royalty income allocable to a corporate Unit holder from properties located within Florida.

Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Oklahoma each impose taxes applicable to both resident and nonresident individuals and/or corporations
(subject to certain exceptions for S corporations and limited liability companies, depending on their treatment for federal tax purposes), which will be applicable to royalty income allocable to a Unit holder from properties located within those
states. New Mexico and Oklahoma impose a withholding tax on payments of oil and gas proceeds derived from royalty interests. To reduce the administrative burden imposed by these rules, the Trustee has opted to allow the payors of oil and gas
proceeds to withhold on royalty payments made to the Trust. The Trust has filed New Mexico and Oklahoma tax returns, obtained a refund, and distributed that refund to Unit holders. Unit holders who transfer their Units before either the New Mexico
or Oklahoma tax refunds are received by the Trust or after the refunds are received but before the next Monthly Record Date will not receive any portion of the refund. As a result, such Unit holders may incur a double tax  first through the
reduced distribution received from the Trust as withholding at the Trust level reduces the amount of cash available for distribution and second by the tax payment made directly to New Mexico or Oklahoma with the filing of their New Mexico or
Oklahoma income tax returns.

Texas imposes a franchise tax at a rate of 1% 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 designated 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 Unit holder that is considered a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax will generally be required to include its portion of Trust revenues in its own Texas franchise tax computation.
This revenue is sourced to Texas under provisions of the Texas Administrative Code sourcing such income according to the principal place of business of the Trust, which is Texas.

Each Unit holder should consult his or her tax advisor regarding state tax requirements, if any, applicable to such persons ownership of
trust units.

3. DISTRIBUTION TO UNIT HOLDERS

The amount to be distributed to Unit holders (Monthly Income Amount) is determined on a monthly basis. The Monthly Income Amount
is an amount equal to the sum of cash received by the Trust during a monthly period (the period commencing on the day after a monthly record date and continuing through and including the next succeeding monthly record date) attributable to the
Royalties, any reduction in cash reserves and any other cash receipts of the Trust, including interest, reduced by the sum of liabilities paid and any increase in cash reserves. Unit holders of record as of the monthly record date (the 15th day of
each calendar month except in limited circumstances) are entitled to have distributed to them the calculated Monthly Income Amount for such month on or before 10 business days after the monthly record date. The Monthly Income Amount per Unit is
declared by the Trust no later than 10 days prior to the monthly record date.

The cash received by the Trust from purchasers of the
Trusts oil and gas production consists of gross sales of production less applicable severance taxes.

4. PAYABLES

Other payables consist primarily of royalty receipts suspended pending verification of ownership interest or title.

The Trustee believes that these other payables represent an ordinary operating condition of the Trust and that such payables will be paid or
released in the normal course of business.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Trust declared the following distributions:

6. CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies related to the royalty properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be reflected by the Trust as reductions to
future royalty income payments to the Trust with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Unit holders. The Trustee is not aware of any such items as of September 30, 2013.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The
Trust makes monthly distributions to the holders of Units of the excess of the preceding months revenues received over expenses incurred. Upon receipt, royalty income is invested in short-term investments until its subsequent distribution. In
accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trusts only long-term assets consist of royalty interests in producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas properties. Although the Trust is permitted to borrow funds if necessary to continue its
operations, borrowings are not anticipated in the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

Distributable income consists of royalty income plus interest income plus any decrease in cash reserves established by the Trustee less
general and administrative expenses of the Trust less any increase in cash reserves established by the Trustee. Distributable income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $16,830,876, or $1.15 per unit. Royalty income for the three
months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $17,245,077 while interest income was $1,772. General and administrative expenses totaled $415,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Distributions during the period were $.30479, $.44969, and $.31073 per Unit payable to Unit holders of record on July 15, August 15, and
September 16, 2013, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Royalty income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 increased approximately $4,890,000 or 40%
compared with the third quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily caused by an increase in the production of oil ($2.5 million) along with increases in the price of both natural gas and oil ($4.0 million). These increases were offset somewhat by
a decrease in the production of natural gas ($1.5 million) as well as an increase in taxes and operating expenses ($0.2 million).

Compared to the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2013, royalty income increased approximately $3,388,000 or 24%, due mainly to an increase in
the production of oil ($2.4 million) along with an increase in the price of both oil and natural gas ($1.4 million) These increases were tempered somewhat by a decrease in the production of natural gas ($0.3 million) and an increase in taxes and
operating expenses ($0.3 million).

Royalty income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $3,930,000 or 9% compared with
the same time period in 2012. This increase was due mainly to an increase in the production of oil ($2.9 million) and an increase in the price of natural gas ($3.9 million). These increases were offset somewhat by a decrease in the production of
natural gas ($1.4 million) along with a decrease in the price of oil ($1.2 million) and an increase in taxes and operating expenses ($0.4 million).

The following tables illustrate average prices received for the periods discussed above and the related oil and gas production volume:

Gas revenues received for the three months ended September 30, 2013, related primarily to production for April
2013 through June 2013. The average price of gas as reported by the Henry Hub for the same time period was $3.62 per Mcf. The average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $3.69 per Mcf for January 2013 through September 2013. Oil revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2013 related primarily to production for May 2013 through July 2013. The average price of oil as reported by NYMEX for that time period was $98.35 per barrel. The average price of oil as reported by NYMEX was $98.14
per barrel for January 2013 through September 2013. As of October 22, 2013, the average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $3.30 per Mcf and the average price of oil reported by NYMEX was $99.22 per barrel. It is difficult to accurately estimate
future prices of oil and gas, and any assumptions concerning future prices may prove to be incorrect.

Interest income for the quarter
ended September 30, 2013 increased approximately $200 compared with the second quarter of 2012. Compared to the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2013, interest income was flat. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased
approximately $400 compared to the same time period in 2012. Changes in interest income are the result of changes in interest rates and funds available for investment.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately
$21,900 compared to the same quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreases in escrow agent/trustee fees of approximately $26,900, fees for processing revenue of approximately $8,200 and printing and unitholder information services pertaining to
unitholder reporting of approximately $8,600. These decreases were offset somewhat by an increase in fees for tax reporting services due to timing of approximately $16,000 as well as an increase in legal and other professional fees of approximately
$2,500. Compared to the previous quarter ended June 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses decreased $305,900 due mainly to changes in the timing of payment of annual expenses such as engineering fees of approximately $155,100, the timing of
payment of fees for printing and unitholder information services pertaining to year-end reporting of approximately $139,000 and a decrease in legal and other professional fees of approximately $13,800. These decreases were offset somewhat by an
increase due to the timing of payment of tax services in the third quarter of $16,000. Administrative expenses decreased $176,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012 due primarily to decreases in
legal and other professional fees of approximately $85,500; trustee/escrow agent fees of approximately $60,000; engineering services of approximately $25,400 and a delay in the timing of payments of audit fees of approximately $12,900. These
decreases were tempered somewhat by an increase in fees for tax reporting due to timing of payments of approximately $11,700 as well as an increase in the NYSE listing fee of $4,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Trusts financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies that require the Trust to make significant
estimates and assumptions. The following are some of the more critical judgement areas in the application of accounting policies that currently affect the Trusts financial condition and results of operations.

Basis of Accounting

The
financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America:



| |  |  | Royalty income, net of severance and ad valorem taxes, and interest income are recognized in the month in which amounts are received by the Trust.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trust expenses, consisting principally of routine general and administrative costs, include payments made during the accounting period. Expenses are accrued to the extent of amounts that become payable on the next
monthly record date following the end of the accounting period. Reserves for liabilities that are contingent or uncertain in amount may also be established if considered necessary.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Royalties that are producing properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method. This amortization is shown as a reduction of
Trust corpus.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Distributions to Unit holders are recognized when declared by the Trustee.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America because of the following:



| |  |  | Royalty income is recognized in the month received rather than in the month of production.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Expenses other than those expected to be paid on the following monthly record date are not accrued.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Amortization of the Royalties is shown as a reduction to Trust corpus and not as a charge to operating results.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reserves may be established for contingencies that would not be recorded under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Revenue
Recognition

Revenues from royalty interests are recognized in the period in which amounts are received by the Trust. Royalty income
received by the Trust in a given calendar year will generally reflect the proceeds, on an entitlements basis, from natural gas produced for the twelve-month period ended September 30th in that calendar year and from oil produced for the
twelve-month period ended October 31st in the same calendar year.

Reserve Disclosure

The SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires supplemental disclosures for oil and gas producers based on a standardized
measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities. Under this disclosure, future cash inflows are computed by applying the average prices during the 12-month period
prior to the fiscal year-end, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined
by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Future price changes are only considered to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year end. The standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows is achieved by using a discount rate of 10% a year to reflect the timing of future cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves. Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating volumes and the value of proved reserves and in
projecting future production rates and the timing of development of nonproducing reserves. Such reserve estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production may be
substantially different from the reserve estimates. Other than those filed with the SEC, our estimated reserves have not been filed with or included in any reports to any federal agency.

Contingencies

Contingencies related to the royalty properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be reflected by the Trust as reductions to
future royalty income payments to the Trust with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Unit holders. The Trustee is not aware of any such items as of September 30, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with the basis of accounting described above requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and for the
reporting periods. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

Impairment

The Trustee routinely reviews the Trusts royalty interests in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an impairment event occurs and it is determined that the carrying value of the Trusts royalty interests may not be recoverable, an impairment will be recognized as
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the royalty interests exceeds the fair value of these assets, which would likely be measured by discounting projected cash flows.

##### Table of Contents

Distributable Income per Unit

Basic distributable income per Unit is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average Units outstanding. Distributable
income per Unit assuming dilution is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average number of Units and equivalent Units outstanding. The Trust had no equivalent Units outstanding for any period presented. Therefore, basic
distributable income per Unit and distributable income per Unit assuming dilution are the same.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Trusts financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report
includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created thereby. All statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this Report are forward-looking statements. Although the Trustee believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such expectations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and the
Trustee can give no assurance that they will prove correct. There are many factors, none of which is within the Trustees control, that may cause such expectations not to be realized, including, among other things, factors identified in the
Trusts most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K affecting oil and gas prices and the recoverability of reserves, general economic conditions, actions and policies of petroleum-producing nations and other
changes in the domestic and international energy markets.

The Trust has an Internet website and has made available its annual reports on
Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to such reports filed or furnished
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act at http://www.sbr-sabineroyalty.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such information is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Trust invests in no derivative financial instruments, and has no foreign operations or long-term debt instruments. Other than the
Trusts ability to periodically borrow money as necessary to pay expenses, liabilities and obligations of the Trust that cannot be paid out of cash held by the Trust, the Trust is prohibited from engaging in borrowing transactions. The amount
of any such borrowings is unlikely to be material to the Trust. The Trust periodically holds short-term investments acquired with funds held by the Trust pending distribution to Unit holders and funds held in reserve for the payment of Trust
expenses and liabilities. Because of the short-term nature of these borrowings and investments and certain limitations upon the types of such investments which may be held by the Trust, the Trustee believes that the Trust is not subject to any
material interest rate risk. Currently, such funds are invested in Bank of America certificates of deposit which are backed by the good faith and credit of Bank of America, N.A., but are only insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up
to $250,000. Each Unit holder should independently assess the creditworthiness of Bank of America, N.A. For more information about the credit rating of Bank of America, N.A., please refer to its periodic filings with the SEC. The Trust does not
engage in transactions in foreign currencies which could expose the Trust or Unit holders to any foreign currency related market risk.

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 design and operation 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. 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.
