 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 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, 2006 condensed balance sheet is derived from the audited
balance sheet 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, 2007, the distributable income and the changes in trust
corpus for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, included
herein, have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered
public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein. 2

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Unit Holders of Sabine Royalty Trust and
Bank of America, N.A., Trustee We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and
trust corpus of Sabine Royalty Trust as of September 30, 2007, and the related
condensed statements of distributable income
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 and changes in the trust corpus for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006. These condensed financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trustee. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with 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 financial statements, these condensed
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 financial statements for them to be in conformity with
the basis of accounting described in Note 2. We have previously audited, in accordance with 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, 2006,
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 13, 2007,
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, 2006, is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the statement of assets, liabilities
and trust corpus from which it has been derived. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Dallas, Texas

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. 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). 8

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 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. 9

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, 2007, no impairment is
required. 10

New
Accounting Standards In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities.This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133
Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in
Securitized Financial Assets. This statement is effective for all financial instruments
acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. The Trust has no financial instruments and accordingly,
the adoption of this new Standard did not impact the financial statements of the Trust. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.This statement requires an entity to
recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. This
statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have an effect on the Trusts financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB
issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial
statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. FIN 48 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption
of this statement did not have an effect on the Trusts financial statements. In September 2006, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  This statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007.  The Trustee does
not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material
effect on the Trusts financial
statements. In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115.
This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. The Trustee does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have
a material effect on the Trusts financial statements. 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. 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 tax
purposes and furnishes tax information to Unit holders on that basis. The Trustee
assumes that some Trust Units are held by a middleman, 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 custodian in street name).  Therefore, the Trustee
considers the Trust to be a widely held fixed investment trust
(WHFIT) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Bank of America, N.A.,
901 Main Street, 17th Floor, Dallas, Texas, 75202, telephone number (214) 209-2400, 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. 11

##### Table of Contents



Each Unit holder should consult his tax advisor regarding Trust tax
compliance matters.      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. 12

 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 November 5, 2007. 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 and nine months
ended September 30, 2007 was $16,364,444 and $42,654,790, or $1.12 and $2.93 per unit,
respectively.  Royalty income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 amounted to
$16,710,605 and $44,082,218, respectively, while interest income was $94,142 and $251,961, respectively.
General and administrative expenses totaled $440,303 and $1,679,389 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007. Distributions
during the period were $.33857, $.39044, and $.30230 per Unit
payable to Unit holders of record on July 16, August 15, and
September 17, 2007,
respectively. 13

Royalty income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased approximately $1,577,000 or 10%
compared with the third quarter of 2006.  This increase was caused by increases in the production
of both oil and gas.  This increase was offset somewhat by decreases in the price of both oil and
natural gas.  Compared to the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2007, royalty income increased
approximately $2,141,000, or 15%, due to increases in the production of both oil and natural
gas as well as an increase in the price of oil. This increase was offset somewhat by a decrease in the price of
natural gas.  Royalty income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased approximately
$3,510,000, or 7%, compared with the nine months ended September
2006, due mainly to decreases in the price of both oil and natural gas as well as the production
of oil.  This decrease was tempered somewhat by an increase in the production of natural gas. The following tables illustrate average prices received for the periods
discussed above and the related oil and gas production volumes: Quarter EndedSeptember 30,

 Gas revenues received for the three months ended September 30, 2007, related primarily to production for April 2007
through June 2007.  The average price of gas as reported by the Henry Hub for the same time period was
$6.85 per Mcf.  The average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $7.01 per Mcf for January 2007 through September 2007.
Oil revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 related primarily to production for May 2007 through
July 2007.  The average price of oil as reported by Nymex for that time period was $67.99 per barrel.  The average
price of oil was $66.07 per barrel for January 2007 through September 2007.  As of October 22, 2007, the average price of
gas for the Henry Hub was $7.04 per Mcf and the average price of oil reported by Nymex was $88.60 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, 2007 decreased approximately $1,000
compared with the third quarter of 2006.  Compared to the preceding quarter ended
June 30, 2007, interest income increased approximately $7,600.  Interest income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 decreased approximately $11,000 compared to the same time period in 2006.
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, 2007 decreased by approximately
$67,800 compared to the same quarter of 2006 primarily due to decreases in escrow agent/trustee fees, printing fees
and professional fees of approximately $9,000, $53,900, and $15,100, respectively.  Offsetting the decreases
was an increase due to the timing of invoices in auditing fees as well as an increase in unitholder information services of
approximately $9,000 and $1,500, respectively.  Compared to the previous quarter ended June 30, 2007, general and
administrative expenses decreased approximately $238,600.  This decrease was primarily due to the timing of expenses
such as the transfer agent fees, engineering fees,auditing fees, printing fees and professional services of approximately
$23,300, $82,100, $17,000, $98,500, and $10,100, respectively, along
with a decrease in unitholder information expenses of $10,900.
These decreases were offset somewhat by an increase in the escrow agent/trustee fees of approximately $7,800. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased approximately
$11,700 compared to the same time period in 2006, due mainly to an increase in the escrow agent/trustee fees
of $43,200 as well as an increase in printing costs of $8,800.  These increases were offset somewhat by decreases in
legal services related to the proxy solicitation in 2006 of approximately $18,800, a decrease in professional services of approximately $5,000, a decrease in the engineering fees of approximately $5,900 as well as tax reporting fees that were approximately
$6,600 less than last year. This decrease was further increased by a decrease in the timing of audit fees of
approximately $4,000. 14

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. 15

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. Reserve Disclosure Independent petroleum engineers estimate the net proved reserves
attributable to the royalty interests. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Standards No. 69, Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities,
estimates of future net revenues from proved reserves have been prepared using
year-end contractual gas prices and related costs. 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
non-producing 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 November 5, 2007. 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. 16

New
Accounting Standards In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities.This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133
Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in
Securitized Financial Assets. This statement is effective for all financial instruments
acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. The Trust has no financial instruments and accordingly, the adoption of this new Standard did not impact the financial statements of the Trust. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.This statement requires an entity to
recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situation. This
statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not
have an effect on the Trusts  financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
 (FIN 48 ), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
 taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance
 with SFAS No. 109,  Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
 2006. The adoption of this
statement did not have an effect on the Trusts financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
 Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value,
 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
 accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures
 about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for
 financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
 15, 2007. The Trustee does not believe that the adoption of this statement
will have a material effect on the Trusts financial statements. In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115.
This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. The Trustee does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have
a material effect on the Trusts financial statements. 17

State Tax Considerations In May 2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to implement a new margin tax at a rate of 1% to be imposed on revenues less certain costs, as specifically set forth in the new legislation.  The effective date of the new legislation is January 1, 2008, but the tax
generally will be imposed on revenues generated in 2007 and
thereafter.  Entities subject to tax generally include trusts unless
otherwise exempt, and most other types of entities.  Trusts that meet
certain statutory requirements are generally exempt from the margin
tax as passive entities. Recent legislative action has clarified that the Trust is exempt from the margin tax as a passive entity. Since the Trust is exempt from the margin tax at the Trust level
as a passive entity, each Unit holder that is a taxable entity would
generally include its share of the Trusts revenue in its margin
tax computation. Each Unit holder is urged to consult his own tax advisor regarding the requirements for filing state tax returns. Other Trustee Brand Change On
October 15, 2007, the Bank of America private wealth management group
officially became known as "U.S.Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management" as a result of Bank of America's acquisition of U.S. Trust Corporation.  This change is a brand name change only and the legal entity that serves as the Trustee for the Trust will continue to be Bank of America, N. A. 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. 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 timely alerting the Trustee
to material information relating to the Trust required to be included in the
Trusts periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. 18
