NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006
 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.
  
    
    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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
  (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents:
  (c) Use of 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.
