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 June 30,
2013, the distributable income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the changes in trust corpus for the six-month periods ended June 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 June 30, 2013 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 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 June 30, 2013, and the related condensed statements of distributable income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and changes in trust corpus for the six-month periods ended June 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 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 June 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 six 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 June 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 June 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 June 30, 2013 was $13,137,080, or $0.90 per unit. Royalty income for the
three months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $13,857,161 while interest income was $1,775. General and administrative expenses totaled $721,856 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Distributions during the period were $.44058, $.35200, and $.24428 per Unit payable to Unit holders of record on April 15, May 15,
and June 17, 2013, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Royalty income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased approximately $1,251,000 or 8%
compared with the second quarter of 2012. This decrease was primarily caused by decreases in the production of both natural gas and oil ($1.8 million) along with a decrease in the price of oil ($1.1 million). These decreases were offset somewhat by
an increase in the price of natural gas ($1.6 million).

Compared to the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2013, royalty
income decreased approximately $1,645,000 or 11%, due mainly to a decrease in the production of both oil and natural gas ($2.8 million). These decreases were tempered somewhat by an increase in the price of both oil and natural gas ($0.7 million)
and decreases in taxes and operating expenses ($0.5 million).

Royalty income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased
$960,000 or 3% compared with the same time period in 2012. This decrease was due mainly to a decrease in the price of oil ($2.3 million), a decrease in the production of natural gas ($0.1 million), and an increase in taxes and operating expenses
($0.2 million). These decreases were offset somewhat by an increase in the price of natural gas ($1.1 million) along with an increase in the production of oil ($0.5 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 June 30, 2013, related primarily to production for
January 2013 through March 2013. The average price of gas as reported by the Henry Hub for the same time period was $3.12 per Mcf. The average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $3.75 per Mcf for January 2013 through June 2013. Oil revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 2013 related primarily to production for February 2013 through April 2013. The average price of oil as reported by NYMEX for that time period was $93.50 per barrel. The average price of oil was $94.26 per barrel for
January 2013 through June 2013. As of July 19, 2013, the average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $3.41 per Mcf and the average price of oil reported by NYMEX was $108.05 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 June 30,
2013 decreased approximately $200 compared with the second quarter of 2012. Compared to the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2013, interest income increased approximately $400. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased
approximately $600 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 June 30, 2013 decreased by approximately $88,700 compared to the same quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreases in fees for legal and other
professional services of approximately $62,500, engineering fees of approximately $25,400 and trustee/escrow agent fees of approximately $19,300. These decreases were offset somewhat by an increase in fees for unitholder information services of
approximately $22,600. Compared to the previous quarter ended March 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses increased $226,200 due mainly to changes in the timing of payment for annual expenses such as engineering fees of approximately
$155,100, and the timing of payment of fees for printing and unitholder information services pertaining to year-end reporting of approximately $128,700. These increases were offset somewhat by a decrease due to the timing of the payment of the New
York Stock Exchange listing fee in the first quarter of $42,000 and decreases in legal and other professional fees of approximately $18,100 along with a decrease in trustee/escrow agent fees of approximately $6,400.

Administrative expenses decreased $154,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012 due primarily
to decreases in legal and other professional fees of approximately $80,000; trustee/escrow agent fees of approximately $33,100; engineering services fees of approximately $25,400 and a delay in the timing of payments of audit fees of approximately
$14,000.

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 June 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.
