NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005
 Basis of Presentation
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 (a) Basis of Accounting:
  (1)
    
    Royalty income is recorded on a cash receipt basis.(2)
    
    Trust administration expenses are recorded in the month in which they are paid.(3)
    
    Amortization of the net royalty and overriding royalty interests, which is
calculated on a units-of-production basis, is charged directly to trust corpus
since such amount does not affect distributable income.(4)
    
    Distributions to Unit Holders are recognized when declared by the Trustee.
   (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
  
    
    Royalty income 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.
    
    Reserves for liabilities which are contingent or uncertain in amount may also be
established if considered necessary.
    
    Net royalty and overriding royalty interests 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.
  
    
    Royalty income is recognized in the month received rather than in the month of production.
    
    Expenses are not accrued.
    
    Amortization of the net royalty and overriding royalty interests 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.
