NYMEX
The New York Mercantile Exchange is a commodity futures exchange that quotes prices for transactions which are the prices paid for various commodities, including oil and natural gas, throughout the world.  plugging of abandoned wells
Activities to remove production equipment and seal off a well at the end of a wells economic life.  proved developed reserves
Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.  proved reserves
Those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be
economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless
evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain
that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the
reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved
quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons, as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct
observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil, elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience,
engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid
injection) are included in the proved classification when (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the
reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (ii) the project has been approved for development
by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the
12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within  vi

such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.  proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs)
Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.  PV-10
The present value of estimated future net revenues using a discount rate of 10% per annum.  reasonable certainty
(i) If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered or (ii) if probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities
actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and
geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease. See 17 CFR 210.4-10(a)(24).  recompletion
The completion for production of an existing well bore in another formation from which that well has been previously completed.  reservoir
A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.  secondary recovery
The second stage of hydrocarbon production during which an external fluid such as water or gas is injected into the reservoir through injection wells located in rock that has fluid communication with production wells. The purpose of secondary
recovery is to maintain reservoir pressure and to displace hydrocarbons toward the wellbore. The most common secondary recovery techniques are gas injection and waterflooding.  Tcf
One trillion cubic feet of natural gas.  Trust units
Trust units representing beneficial interests in the Trust.  Underlying Properties
The interest in certain oil and natural gas properties from which the Net Profits Interest was conveyed by Boaz Energy. The Underlying Properties include working interests in oil and natural gas producing properties located in the Permian Basin
in Texas.  waterflood
A method of secondary recovery in which water is injected into the reservoir formation to displace residual oil. The water from injection wells physically sweeps the displaced oil to adjacent production wells.  vii

PART I  Item 1.
Business General PermRock Royalty Trust (the
Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 22, 2017 under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act pursuant to a trust agreement dated November 22, 2017, as amended and restated on May 4, 2018, by and among Boaz
Energy II, LLC (Boaz Energy), as trustor, Simmons Bank, as Trustee (the Trustee), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Delaware Trustee (the Delaware Trustee) (such amended and restated trust agreement,
as amended to date, the Trust Agreement). The Trusts affairs are administered by the Trustee, which maintains its offices at 2200 West 7th Street, Suite 210, P.O. Box 470727 Fort
Worth, Texas 76147. The Trust was created to acquire and hold the Net Profits Interest for the benefit of the Trust unitholders pursuant
to an agreement between Boaz Energy, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee. The affairs of the Trust are managed by Simmons Bank, as Trustee. Boaz Energy has no ability to manage the operations of the Trust, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, does not owe any fiduciary duties or liabilities to the Trust or the unitholders. In addition, Wilmington Trust, National Association is the Delaware Trustee of the Trust. The Delaware Trustee has only minimal rights and duties as are necessary
to satisfy the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering of Trust
units and pursuant to the Conveyance of Net Profits Interest (the Conveyance) effective May 4, 2018, Boaz Energy conveyed the Net Profits Interest to the Trust in exchange for Trust units. The Net Profits Interest entitles the Trust
to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. A description of the Underlying Properties is included under Item 2. Properties. The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and
neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any control over, or responsibility for, costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. Immediately following the Conveyance, Boaz Energy completed an initial public offering of 6,250,000 of its Trust units. Upon completion of the
offering, Boaz Energy owned 5,915,732 Trust units of the 12,165,732 Trust units issued and outstanding. The Trusts purpose is to
own the Net Profits Interest, to distribute to the Trust unitholders cash that the Trust receives in respect of the Net Profits Interest and to perform certain administrative functions in respect of the Net Profits Interest and the Trust units.
Other than the foregoing activities, the Trust does not conduct any operations or activities. The Trust derives all or substantially all of its income and cash flow from the Net Profits Interest. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust is
treated as a grantor trust and not as an unincorporated business entity. The Trust has made, and will continue to make, monthly cash
distributions of all of its monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of the Trust and any cash reserves, to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day
after the record date. The Trusts first distribution related to sales from production from January and February of 2018 and production expenses for the months of January, February and a portion of March of 2018. All distributions following the
first distribution generally relate to sales from a one-month period. The Trustee The affairs of the Trust are managed by the Trustee. Boaz Energy has no ability to manage the operations of the Trust, and, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, does not owe any fiduciary duties or liabilities to the Trust or the Trust unitholders.  1

##### Table of Contents

The Trust has no employees. Administrative functions are performed by the Trustee pursuant
to the Trust Agreement. The Trustee has no authority over or responsibility for, and no involvement with, any aspect of the oil and gas operations or other activities on the Underlying Properties. The duties of the Trustee are specified in the Trust
Agreement and by the laws of the state of Delaware, except as modified by the Trust Agreement. The Trustees principal duties consist of:  

collecting cash attributable to the Net Profits Interest;  

paying expenses, charges and obligations of the Trust from the Trusts assets;  

distributing distributable cash to the Trust unitholders;  

causing to be prepared and distributed a tax information report for each Trust unitholder and causing tax returns
on behalf of the Trust to be prepared and filed;  

causing to be prepared and filed reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), and by the rules of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Trust Units are listed or admitted to trading;  

causing to be prepared and filed a reserve report by or for the Trust by independent reserve engineers as of
December 31 of each year in accordance with criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC);  

establishing, evaluating and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with
the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;  

enforcing the rights under certain agreements; and  

taking any action it deems necessary, desirable or advisable to best achieve the purposes of the Trust. In connection with the formation of the Trust, the Trust entered into several agreements with Boaz Energy that impose
obligations upon Boaz Energy that are enforceable by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, including the Conveyance and a registration rights agreement. The Trustee has the power and authority under the Trust Agreement to enforce these agreements on
behalf of the Trust. Additionally, the Trustee may from time to time supplement or amend the Conveyance and the registration rights agreement to which the Trust is a party without the approval of Trust unitholders, if such supplement or amendment
does not have a material adverse effect on the Trust unitholders, in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or to affect the intent expressed in the initial public offering prospectus. Under the Trust Agreement, following the monthly period ended April 30, 2019, the Trustee is authorized to retain cash up to $1.0 million
from the distributions the Trust receives to be used by the Trust in the event that its cash on hand (including available cash reserves) is not sufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses as they become due. The Trustee is authorized
to retain cash only in such amounts as the Trustee deems appropriate to pay for future liabilities of the Trust. Accordingly, following the monthly period ended April 30, 2019, the Trustee will retain cash from distributions in amounts as the
Trustee determines, but not less than $25,000 per month or more than $100,000 per month and, at such time as the Trusts cash reserve equals or exceeds $1.0 million, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will release the Letter of Credit (as
described below under Item 7. Trustees Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources). Each month, the Trustee pays Trust obligations and expenses and distributes to the Trust unitholders the remaining proceeds received from the
Net Profits Interest. The cash held by the Trustee as a reserve against future liabilities or for distribution at the next distribution date must be invested in:  

interest bearing obligations of the United States government;  

money market funds that invest only in United States government securities;  2




---

##### Table of Contents



repurchase agreements secured by interest-bearing obligations of the United States government;  

bank certificates of deposit;  

other interest bearing accounts in FDIC-insured or national banks, including the Trustee, so long as the entire
amount in such accounts is at all times fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; or  

the SEI SDIT Treasury II Fund, the Goldman Sachs Financial
SquareSM Funds, and other similar funds commonly used by trust departments. Alternatively, cash held for distribution at the next distribution date may be held in an FDIC-insured or national bank, including the
Trustee, if the interest paid to the Trust at least equals amounts paid by the Trustee on similar deposits, and the Trustee may make other short-term investments with the funds distributed to the Trust. The Trust may not acquire any asset except the
Net Profits Interest, cash and temporary cash investments, and it may not engage in any investment activity except investing cash on hand. The Trust is not subject to any pre-set termination provisions based on a maximum volume of oil or natural gas to be produced or the passage
of time. The Trust will dissolve upon the earliest to occur of the following:  

the Trust, upon the approval of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units, sells the Net Profits
Interest;  

the annual cash proceeds available for distribution to the Trust is less than $2.0 million for each of any two
consecutive years;  

the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units vote in favor of dissolution; or  

the Trust is judicially dissolved. Upon dissolution of the Trust, the Trustee would sell all of the Trusts assets, either by private sale or public auction, and, after
payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment of all liabilities of the Trust, distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Trust unitholders. Marketing and Post-Production Services Pursuant to the terms of the Conveyance creating the Net Profits Interest, Boaz Energy has the responsibility to market, or cause to be
marketed, the oil and natural gas production attributable to the Net Profits Interest in the Underlying Properties. The terms of the Conveyance restrict Boaz Energy from charging any fee for marketing production attributable to the Net Profits
Interest other than fees for marketing paid to non-affiliates. Accordingly, a marketing fee will not be deducted (other than fees paid to non-affiliates) in the calculation of the Net Profits Interests share of net profits. The net profits
from the sales of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties attributable to the Net Profits Interest are determined based on the same price that Boaz Energy receives for sales of oil and natural gas production attributable to
Boaz Energys interest in the Underlying Properties. However, in the event that the oil or natural gas is processed, the net profits will receive the same processing upgrade or downgrade as Boaz Energy. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Boaz Energy and other third-party operators of the Underlying Properties sold the oil produced
from the Underlying Properties to third-party purchasers. Oil production from the Underlying Properties is typically transported by pipeline or truck from the field to the closest gathering facility or refinery. Boaz Energy and other operators sell
the majority of the oil production from the Underlying Properties under contracts based on geographic location using market sensitive pricing. The price received by the operators for the oil production from the Underlying Properties is usually based
on a regional price applied to equal daily quantities in the month of delivery that is then reduced for differentials based upon delivery location and oil quality.  3

##### Table of Contents

All natural gas produced from the Underlying Properties is marketed and sold to third-party
purchasers. In all cases, the contract price is based on a percentage of a published regional index price, after adjustments for Btu content, transportation and related charges. Natural gas production is typically transported by pipeline to the
closest gathering facility. Natural gas that is processed to remove NGLs is done under a percentage of proceeds contract and the Trusts percentage of those proceeds are included in the Net Profits Interest. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Boaz Energy reported that Phillips 66, Plains All American Pipeline and Sunoco, Inc. accounted for
27.45%, 29.01%, and 16.32%, respectively, of its total oil and natural gas revenues, and that no other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the total revenue of the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energy does not believe that the loss of any of these
parties as a purchaser of crude oil or natural gas production from the Underlying Properties would have a material impact on the business or operations of Boaz Energy or the Underlying Properties because of the large number of marketing firms and
competitive nature of oil and gas purchasers in the Permian Basin. Competition and Markets The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Boaz Energy competes with major oil and natural gas companies and independent oil and
natural gas companies for oil and natural gas, equipment, personnel and markets for the sale of oil and natural gas. Many of these competitors are financially stronger than Boaz Energy, but even financially troubled competitors can affect the market
because of their need to sell oil and natural gas at any price to attempt to maintain cash flow. Because Boaz Energy and the third party operators of the Underlying Properties are subject to competitive conditions in the oil and natural gas
industry, the Trusts Net Profits Interest is indirectly subject to those same competitive conditions. Oil and natural gas compete
with other forms of energy available to customers, primarily based on price. These alternate forms of energy include electricity, coal and fuel oils. Changes in the availability or price of oil, natural gas or other forms of energy, as well as
business conditions, conservation, legislation, regulations and the ability to convert to alternate fuels and other forms of energy may affect the demand for oil and natural gas. Future prices for oil and natural gas will directly impact Trust distributions, estimates of reserves attributable to the Trusts
interests and estimated and actual future net revenues to the Trust. In view of the many uncertainties that affect the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, neither the Trust nor Boaz Energy can make reliable predictions of future oil and
natural gas supply and demand or future product prices. Nevertheless, lower product prices generally will result in lower distributions, lower estimates of reserves attributable to the Trusts interests and lower estimated and actual future net
revenues to the Trust. All of the Trusts assets are located in the United States. Boaz Energy and the third-party operators of the
Underlying Properties sell the oil and natural gas produced from the Underlying Properties to third-party purchasers in the United States. Demand for natural gas generally is higher in the winter months, but otherwise seasonal factors do not affect
the Trust. Description of Trust Units Each Trust unit is a unit of beneficial interest in the Trust assets and is entitled to receive cash distributions from the Trust on a pro
rata basis. Each Trust unitholder has the same rights regarding each of his Trust units as every other Trust unitholder has regarding his units. The Trust units are in book-entry form only and are not represented by certificates. The Trust had
12,165,732 Trust units outstanding as of April 1, 2019. Distributions and Income Computations Each month, the Trustee determines the amount of funds available for distribution to the Trust unitholders. Available funds are the cash, if
any, received by the Trust from the Net Profits Interest and other sources (such as  4

##### Table of Contents

interest earned on any amounts reserved by the Trustee) that month, over the Trusts liabilities for that month. Available funds will be reduced by any cash the Trustee decides to hold as a
reserve against future liabilities. The holders of Trust units as of the applicable record date are entitled to monthly distributions payable on or before the 10th business day after the record date. Unless otherwise advised by counsel or the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS), the Trustee will treat the income and expenses of
the Trust for each month as belonging to the Trust unitholders of record on the monthly record date. Trust unitholders generally will recognize income and expenses for tax purposes in the month the Trust receives or pays those amounts, rather than
in the month the Trust distributes the cash to which such income or expenses (as applicable) relate. Minor variances may occur. For example, the Trustee could establish a reserve in one month that would not result in a tax deduction until a later
month. Transfer of Trust Units Trust unitholders may transfer their Trust units in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Trustee will not require either the transferor or
transferee to pay a service charge for any transfer of a Trust unit. The Trustee may require payment of any tax or other governmental charge imposed for a transfer. The Trustee may treat the owner of any Trust unit as shown by its records as the
owner of the Trust unit. The Trustee will not be considered to know about any claim or demand on a Trust unit by any party except the record owner. A person who acquires a Trust unit after any monthly record date will not be entitled to the
distribution relating to that monthly record date. Periodic Reports The Trustee files all required Trust federal and state income tax and information returns. The Trustee prepares and mails or otherwise makes
available to Trust unitholders annual reports that Trust unitholders need to correctly report their share of the income and deductions of the Trust. The Trustee also causes to be prepared and filed reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act
and by the rules of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Trust units are listed or admitted to trading, and will also cause the Trust to comply with all of the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, including but not limited to,
establishing, evaluating and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 thereof. Each Trust unitholder and his representatives may examine, for any proper purpose, during reasonable business hours, the records of the Trust
and the Trustee, subject to such restrictions as are set forth in the Trust Agreement. Liability of Trust Unitholders Under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, Trust unitholders are entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of
private corporations for profit under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No assurance can be given, however, that the courts in jurisdictions outside of Delaware will give effect to such limitation. Voting Rights of Trust Unitholders The
Trustee or Trust unitholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding Trust units may call meetings of Trust unitholders. The Trust is responsible for all costs associated with calling a meeting of Trust unitholders unless (i) such meeting is
called by the Trust unitholders, in which case the Trust unitholders will be responsible for all costs associated with calling such meeting of Trust unitholders or (ii) such meeting is called for the purpose of approving the sale or release of
the Net Profits Interest at Boaz Energys request, in which case the Trust will be responsible for 80% of all costs associated with calling such meeting of Trust unitholders and Boaz Energy will be responsible for 20% of such costs. Meetings
must be held in such location as is designated by the  5

##### Table of Contents

Trustee in the notice of such meeting. The Trustee must send notice of the time and place of the meeting and the matters to be acted upon to all of the Trust unitholders at least 20 days and not
more than 60 days before the meeting. Trust unitholders representing a majority of Trust units outstanding must be present or represented to have a quorum. Each Trust unitholder is entitled to one vote for each Trust unit owned. Abstentions and
broker non-votes shall not be deemed to be a vote cast. Unless otherwise required by the Trust Agreement, a matter may be approved or
disapproved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trust units present in person or by proxy at a meeting where there is a quorum. This is true, even if a majority of the total Trust units did not approve it. The affirmative vote of the
holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units is required to:  

dissolve the Trust; or  

amend the Trust Agreement (except with respect to certain matters that do not adversely affect the rights of
Trust unitholders in any material respect). Boaz Energy may cause the Trustee to (i) sell all or any part of the
Trust estate, including all or any portion of the Net Profits Interest or (ii) release any portion of the Net Profits Interest in connection with the sale, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest, by Boaz Energy and/or its
affiliates of a divided or undivided portion of their interests in the Underlying Properties, if approved by Trust unitholders holding at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units, provided that, after December 31, 2022, such a sale or release
shall require approval of a majority of the outstanding Trust units if Boaz Energy and its affiliates own less than 25% of the outstanding Trust units. The net proceeds of any such sale or the consideration received in respect of such release, as
applicable, shall be distributed to the Trust unitholders in the manner approved by the Trust unitholders at such meeting. In addition,
Boaz Energy may, without the consent of the Trust unitholders, require the Trust to release the Net Profits Interest associated with any interest in the Underlying Properties that accounted for no more than 1.0% of the total production from the
Underlying Properties in the prior 12 months, provided that Boaz Energy may not require the release during any 365-day period of portions of the Net Profits Interest having an aggregate fair value to the Trust of greater than $500,000. Computation of Net Profits Net Profits
Interest The provisions of the Conveyance governing the computation of the net profits are detailed and extensive. The following
information summarizes the material provisions of the Conveyance related to the computation of the net profits, but is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Conveyance, which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. As set forth in the Conveyance, net profits are computed monthly, and (i) 80% of the aggregate net profits attributable
to the sale of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties and (ii) all amounts received pursuant to the derivative put option contracts (net of any costs associated therewith), received during each calendar month are paid to
the Trust on or before the end of the following month. Boaz Energy does not pay to the Trust any interest on the net profits held by Boaz Energy prior to payment to the Trust, provided that such payments are timely made. Gross profits means the aggregate amount received by Boaz Energy from and after January 1, 2018 from sales of
oil and natural gas produced from the Underlying Properties that are attributable to a production month that occurs on or after January 1, 2018 (after deducting the appropriate share of all royalties and any overriding royalties, production
payments and other similar charges (in each case, in existence as of January 1, 2018) and  6

other than certain excluded proceeds, as described in the Conveyance), including all proceeds and consideration received (i) directly or indirectly, for advance payments,
(ii) directly or indirectly, under take-or-pay and similar provisions of production sales contracts (when credited against the price for delivery of production) and (iii) under balancing arrangements. Gross profits do not include
consideration for the transfer or sale of any Underlying Property by Boaz Energy or any subsequent owner to any new owner, unless the Net Profits Interest is released (as is permitted under certain circumstances). Gross profits also do not include
any amount for oil or natural gas lost in production or marketing or used by the owner of the Underlying Properties in drilling, production and plant operations. Net profits means, as more fully set forth in the Conveyance, gross profits less the following costs, expenses and,
where applicable, losses, liabilities and damages in each case as incurred by Boaz Energy and attributable to the Underlying Properties on or after January 1, 2018 but that are not attributable to a production month that occurs prior to
January 1, 2018 (as such items are reduced by any offset amounts, as described in the Conveyance):  

all costs and expenses from and after April 1, 2018 for drilling and development activities on the
Underlying Properties, including (i) all direct labor and other services necessary for drilling and developing the Underlying Properties, (ii) all materials purchased for use in, or in connection with, the drilling and development of the
Underlying Properties, and (iii) any other operations with respect to the exploration or development of hydrocarbons from the Underlying Properties;  

all costs and expenses associated with production, operation, maintenance and abandonment operations associated
with the Underlying Properties, including (i) all direct labor and other services necessary for operating, producing and maintaining the Underlying Properties, (ii) treatment, dehydration, compression, separation and transportation,
(iii) all materials purchased for use on, or in connection with operating, producing or maintaining, any of the Underlying Properties and (iv) any other operations with respect to the operation of hydrocarbons from the Underlying
Properties;  

all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities and damages with respect to the operation or maintenance of the
Underlying Properties for (i) defending, prosecuting, handling, investigating or settling litigation, administrative proceedings, claims, damages, judgments, fines, penalties and other liabilities, (ii) the payment of certain judgments,
penalties and other liabilities, (iii) the payment or restitution of any proceeds of hydrocarbons from the Underlying Properties, (iv) complying with applicable local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations,
(v) tax or royalty audits and (vi) any other loss, cost, expense, liability or damage with respect to the Underlying Properties not paid or reimbursed under insurance;  

all taxes, charges and assessments (excluding federal and state income, transfer, mortgage, inheritance, estate,
franchise and like taxes) with respect to the ownership of, or production of hydrocarbons from, the Underlying Properties;  

all insurance premiums attributable to the ownership or operation of the Underlying Properties for insurance
actually carried with respect to the Underlying Properties, or any equipment located on any of the Underlying Properties, or incident to the operation or maintenance of the Underlying Properties;  

all amounts and other consideration for (i) rent and the use of or damage to the surface, (ii) delay
rentals, shut-in well payments and similar payments and (iii) fees for renewal, extension, modification, amendment, replacement or supplementation of the leases included in the Underlying Properties;  

to the extent that Boaz Energy is not the operator of an Underlying Property, all amounts charged by the relevant
operator as overhead, administrative or indirect charges specified in the applicable operating agreements or other arrangements covering such Underlying Property plus $50 per well located on such property in respect of overhead, administrative and
indirect charges incurred by Boaz Energy;  7

##### Table of Contents



to the extent that Boaz Energy is the operator of an Underlying Property, $350 per well located on such property
in respect of Boaz Energys overhead, administrative and indirect charges associated with such Underlying Property;  

if, as a result of the occurrence of the bankruptcy or insolvency or similar occurrence of any purchaser of
hydrocarbons produced from the Underlying Properties, any amounts previously credited to the determination of the net profits are reclaimed from Boaz Energy, then the amounts reclaimed;  

all costs and expenses for recording the Conveyance and, at the applicable times, terminations and/or releases
thereof;  

amounts previously included in gross profits but subsequently paid as a refund, interest or penalty; and  

at the option of Boaz Energy (or any subsequent owner of the Underlying Properties), amounts reserved for ad
valorem taxes, property taxes and future development expenses, including well drilling, recompletion and workover costs, which amounts will at no time exceed $3.0 million in the aggregate, and will be subject to the limitations described below
(provided that such costs shall not be debited from gross profits when actually incurred). The per well overhead
charges described in the seventh and eighth bullet point paragraphs above will be adjusted at the beginning of each year based on the adjustment procedures contained in the 2005 version of the accounting procedures published by the Council of
Petroleum Accountants Societies, Inc., which is attached to the Conveyance. As described above, the costs deducted in the net profits
determination are reduced by certain offset amounts. The offset amounts are further described in the Conveyance, and include, among other things, certain net proceeds attributable to the treatment or processing of hydrocarbons produced from the
Underlying Properties and certain other non-production revenues, including salvage value for equipment related to plugged and abandoned wells. If the offset amounts exceed the costs during a monthly period, the ability to use such excess amounts to
offset costs will be deferred and utilized as offsets in the next monthly period to the extent such amounts, plus accrued interest thereon, together with other offsets to costs, for the applicable month, are less than the costs arising in such
month. The Trust is not liable to the owners of the Underlying Properties or the operators for any operating, capital or other costs or
liabilities attributable to the Underlying Properties. In the event that the net profits for any computation period is a negative amount, the Trust will receive no payment for that period, and any such negative amount plus accrued interest will be
deducted from gross profits in the following computation period for purposes of determining the net profits for that following computation period. Gross profits and net profits are calculated on a cash basis, except that certain costs, primarily ad valorem taxes and expenditures of a
material amount, may be determined on an accrual basis. Derivative Contracts Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 100% of expected oil production attributable to the Net
Profits Interest, based on the reserve report, for the period from its initial public offering through December 31, 2018. Boaz Energy has entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 76% of such production during
2019. Boaz Energy believes that these put option contracts will provide downside protection to the Trust in the event spot prices for crude oil decline below the applicable strike price, while still allowing the Trust to benefit from increasing
crude oil prices. Boaz Energy has not entered into any derivative contracts relating to oil and natural gas volumes expected to be produced after December 31, 2019, and the terms of the Conveyance prohibit Boaz Energy from entering into new
hedging arrangements burdening the Trust. As a result, the amount of the cash distributions will be subject to a greater fluctuation after December 31, 2019 due to changes in oil and natural gas prices.  8

Additional Provisions If a controversy arises as to the sales price of any production, then for purposes of determining gross profits:  

any proceeds that are withheld for any reason (other than at the request of Boaz Energy) are not considered
received until such time that the proceeds are actually collected;  

amounts received and promptly deposited with a nonaffiliated escrow agent will not be considered to have been
received until disbursed to it by the escrow agent; and  

amounts received and not deposited with an escrow agent will be considered to have been received. The Trustee is not obligated to return any cash received from the Net Profits Interest. Any overpayments made to the
Trust by Boaz Energy due to adjustments to prior calculations of net profits or otherwise will reduce future amounts payable to the Trust until Boaz Energy recovers the overpayments plus interest at a prime rate (as described in the Conveyance). The Conveyance generally permits Boaz Energy to transfer without the consent or approval of the Trust unitholders all or any part of its
interest in the Underlying Properties, subject to the Net Profits Interest. The Trust unitholders are not entitled to any proceeds from a sale or transfer of Boaz Energys interest. Except in certain cases where the Net Profits Interest is
released, following a sale or transfer, the Underlying Properties will continue to be subject to the Net Profits Interest, and the gross profits attributable to the transferred property will be calculated (as part of the computation of net profits
described in this Annual Report), paid and distributed by the transferee to the Trust. Boaz Energy has no further obligations, requirements or responsibilities with respect to any such transferred interests. In addition, Boaz Energy may, without the consent of the Trust unitholders, require the Trust to release the Net Profits Interest associated
with any interest in the Underlying Properties that accounted for no more than 1.0% of the total production from the Underlying Properties in the prior 12 months, provided that Boaz Energy may not require the release during any 365-day period of
portions of the Net Profits Interest having an aggregate fair value to the Trust of greater than $500,000. These releases will be made only in connection with a sale by Boaz Energy of the relevant Underlying Properties and the Trust will receive an
amount equal to the fair value (net of sales costs) of the Net Profits Interest released. The Trust announced on November 19, 2018
that Boaz Energy had sold and assigned its interest in certain leases located in Ward County, Texas as a result of a Qualified De Minimis Sale as contemplated by Section 3.02(c) of the Trust Agreement. Boaz Energy received $234,341 in
consideration of the sale of its interest, which amount was included in the Trusts December 2018 distribution to unitholders. As of April 1, 2019, the Trustee has not been notified that Boaz Energy has identified for sale any other of the
Underlying Properties. In addition, Boaz Energy may cause the Trustee to (i) sell all or any part of the Trust estate, including all
or any portion of the Net Profits Interest or (ii) release any portion of the Net Profits Interest in connection with the sale, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest, by Boaz Energy and/or its affiliates of a divided or undivided
portion of their interests in the Underlying Properties, if approved by Trust unitholders holding at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units, provided that, after December 31, 2022, such a sale or release shall require approval of a majority
of the outstanding Trust units if Boaz Energy and its affiliates own less than 25% of the outstanding Trust units. The net proceeds of any such sale or the consideration received in respect of such release, as applicable, will be distributed to the
Trust unitholders in the manner approved by the Trust unitholders at such meeting. As the designated operator of a property comprising
the Underlying Properties, Boaz Energy may enter into farm-out, operating, participation and other similar agreements to develop the property, but any transfers made in connection with such agreements will be made subject to the Net Profits
Interest. Boaz Energy may enter into any of these agreements without the consent or approval of the Trustee or any Trust unitholder.  9

##### Table of Contents

Boaz Energy has the right to release, surrender or abandon its interest in any Underlying
Property that will no longer produce (or be capable of producing) hydrocarbons in paying quantities (determined without regard to the Net Profits Interest). Upon such release, surrender or abandonment, the portion of the Net Profits Interest
relating to the affected property will also be released, surrendered or abandoned, as applicable. Boaz Energy also has the right to abandon an interest in the Underlying Properties if (a) such abandonment is necessary for health, safety or
environmental reasons or (b) the hydrocarbons that would have been produced from the abandoned portion of the Underlying Properties would reasonably be expected to be produced from wells located on the remaining portion of the Underlying
Properties. Boaz Energy must maintain books and records sufficient to determine the amounts payable for the Net Profits Interest to the
Trust. Monthly and annually, Boaz Energy must deliver to the Trustee a statement of the computation of the net profits for each computation period. The annual computation shall be audited. The Trustee has the right to inspect, review and audit the
books and records maintained by Boaz Energy during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice. U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax matters that may be relevant to the Trust unitholders. This summary is
based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), existing and proposed regulations thereunder (the Treasury Regulations) and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of
which are subject to changes that may or may not be retroactively applied. No attempt has been made in the following summary to comment on all U.S. federal income tax matters affecting the Trust or the Trust unitholders. The summary has limited application to non-U.S. persons and persons subject to special tax treatment such as, without limitation: banks,
insurance companies or other financial institutions; Trust unitholders subject to the alternative minimum tax; tax-exempt organizations; dealers in securities or commodities; regulated investment companies; real estate investment trusts; traders in
securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; non-U.S. Trust unitholders that are controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies; persons that are
S-corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities; persons that own their interest in the Trust units through S-corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities; persons that at any time own more than 5% of the aggregate fair
market value of the Trust units; expatriates and certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; U.S. Trust unitholders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; persons who hold the Trust units as a position in a
hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or other risk reduction transaction; or persons deemed to sell the Trust units under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. Each Trust unitholder should consult his
own tax advisor with respect to his particular circumstances. Classification and Taxation of the Trust Tax counsel to the Trust advised the Trust at the time of formation that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in its opinion, the Trust will
be treated as a grantor trust and not as an unincorporated business entity. No ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Trust, including as to the status of the Trust as a grantor
trust. Thus, no assurance can be provided that the tax treatment of the Trust would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS or another taxing authority. The remainder of the discussion below is based on tax counsels opinion that the
Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a grantor trust, the Trust is not subject to U.S.
federal income tax at the trust level. Rather, each Trust unitholder is considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to own its proportionate share of the Trusts assets directly as though the Trust were not in existence. The income of the
Trust is deemed to be received or accrued  10




---

##### Table of Contents

by each Trust unitholder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust, rather than when distributed by the Trust. Each Trust unitholder is subject to tax on its proportionate share
of the income and gain attributable to the assets of the Trust and is entitled to claim its proportionate share of the deductions and expenses attributable to the assets of the Trust, subject to applicable limitations, in accordance with the Trust
unitholders tax method of accounting and taxable year without regard to the taxable year or accounting method employed by the Trust. Trust unitholders should be entitled to deductions for the greater of either cost depletion or (if allowable)
percentage depletion with respect to income from the Net Profits Interest. The Trust files annual information returns, reporting to the
Trust unitholders all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. The Trust allocates these items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to Trust unitholders based on record ownership on each monthly record date. It is possible that the
IRS or another taxing authority could disagree with this allocation method and assert that income and deductions of the Trust should be determined and allocated on a daily or prorated basis, which could require adjustments to the tax returns of the
affected Trust unitholders and result in an increase in the administrative expense of the Trust in subsequent periods. Under current law,
the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income of individuals is 37%, and the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains (generally, gains from the sale or exchange of certain
investment assets held for more than one year) is 20%. The highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to corporations is 21%, and such rate applies to both ordinary income and capital gains. In addition, a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax is imposed on certain investment income earned by individuals, estates, and trusts. For these
purposes, investment income generally will include a Trust unitholders allocable share of the income from the Net Profits Interest plus the gain recognized from a sale of Trust units. In the case of an individual, the tax is imposed on the
lesser of (i) the individuals net investment income from all investments, or (ii) the amount by which the individuals modified adjusted gross income exceeds specified threshold levels depending on such individuals U.S.
federal income tax filing status. In the case of an estate or trust, the tax is imposed on the lesser of (i) undistributed net investment income, or (ii) the excess adjusted gross income over the dollar amount at which the highest income
tax bracket applicable to an estate or trust begins. Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Trust units, a Trust unitholder will
be treated as having sold his share of the Net Profits Interest and must treat as ordinary income the depletion recapture amount, which is an amount equal to the lesser of the gain on such sale or other taxable disposition or the sum of the prior
depletion deductions taken with respect to the Trust units, but not in excess of the initial tax basis of the Trust units. Classification of the Net Profits Interest Tax counsel to the Trust advised the Trust at the time of formation that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, based on the reserve report
and representations made by Boaz Energy regarding the expected economic life of the Underlying Properties and the expected duration of the Net Profits Interest, the Net Profits Interest will be treated as a continuing, non-operating economic
interest in the nature of a royalty payable out of production from the mineral interests it burdens. No assurance can be given that the
IRS or another taxing authority will not assert that the Net Profits Interest should be treated differently. Any such different treatment could affect the amount, timing and character of income, gain or loss in respect of an investment in Trust
units. Reporting Requirements for Widely Held Fixed Investment Trusts The Trustee assumes that some Trust units are held by middlemen, as such term is broadly defined in the Treasury Regulations (and includes
custodians, nominees, certain joint owners and brokers holding an interest for  11




---

##### Table of Contents

a custodian in street name, collectively referred to herein 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. Simmons Bank, EIN 71-0162300, P.O. Box 470727 Fort Worth, Texas 76147, telephone number (855) 588-7839, is the representative of the Trust that will provide the tax information in
accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the middlemen holding Trust units on behalf of Trust unitholders, and not the Trustee of the
Trust, are solely responsible for complying with the information reporting requirements under the Treasury Regulations with respect to such Trust units, including the issuance of IRS Forms 1099 and certain written tax statements. Unitholders 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. Any generic tax information provided by the Trustee of the Trust is
intended to be used only to assist Trust unitholders in the preparation of their U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Available Trust Tax
Information In compliance with the Treasury Regulations reporting requirements for WHFITs and the dissemination of Trust tax reporting
information, the Trustee provides a generic tax information reporting booklet which is intended to be used only to assist Trust unitholders in the preparation of their federal and state income tax returns. This tax information booklet can be
obtained at www.permrock.com. Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters Oil, natural gas and NGL exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to protection of the environment or occupational health and safety. These laws and regulations have the potential to impact production and development operations on the Underlying
Properties, including requirements to:  

obtain permits to conduct regulated activities;  

limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected
areas;  

restrict the types, quantities and concentration of materials that can be released into the environment in the
performance of drilling and production activities;  

initiate investigatory and remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former or current operations, such as
restoration of drilling pits and plugging of abandoned wells; and  

apply specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal sanctions,
including monetary penalties, the imposition of strict, joint and several liability, investigatory and remedial obligations and the issuance of injunctions limiting or prohibiting some or all of the operations on the Underlying Properties. Moreover,
these laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil, natural gas and NGL production below the rate that would otherwise be possible. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the
industry and consequently affects profitability. The trend in environmental regulation has been to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment, and thus, any changes in environmental laws and regulations or
re-interpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly construction, drilling, water management, completion, emission or discharge limits or waste handling, disposal or remediation obligations could increase the cost to
Boaz Energy of developing the Underlying Properties. Moreover, accidental releases or spills may occur in the course of operations on the Underlying Properties, causing Boaz Energy to incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such
releases or spills, including any third-party claims for damage to property, natural resources or persons.  12

##### Table of Contents

Increased costs or operating restrictions on the Underlying Properties as a result of
compliance with or liability under environmental laws could result in reduced exploratory and production activities on the Underlying Properties and, as a result, distributable cash to the Trust unitholders. The following is a summary of certain
existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, each as amended from time to time, to which operations on the Underlying Properties are subject. Hazardous Substances and Waste Handling The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) also known as the Superfund law, and comparable
state laws impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. Under CERCLA,
these responsible persons may include the owner or operator of the site where the release occurred, and entities that transport, dispose of or arrange for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances released at the site. These
responsible persons may be subject to joint and several strict liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health
studies. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. It is not
uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third-parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and comparable state laws control the management and disposal of hazardous and
non-hazardous waste. These laws and regulations govern the generation, storage, treatment, transfer and disposal of wastes generated. Drilling fluids, produced waters and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development and
production of oil, natural gas and NGLs, if properly handled, are currently exempt from regulation as hazardous waste under RCRA and, instead, are regulated under RCRAs less stringent non-hazardous waste provisions, state laws or other federal
laws. However, it is possible that certain oil, natural gas and NGL drilling and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. For example, in December 2016, the EPA and environmental groups
entered into a consent decree to address the EPAs alleged failure to timely assess its RCRA Subtitle D criteria regulations exempting certain exploration and production related oil, natural gas and NGL wastes from regulation as hazardous
wastes under RCRA. The consent decree requires the EPA to propose a rulemaking no later than March 15, 2019 for revision of certain Subtitle D criteria regulations pertaining to oil, natural gas and NGL wastes or to sign a determination that
revision of the regulations is not necessary. If the EPA proposes rulemaking for revised oil and natural gas regulations, the consent decree requires that the EPA take final action following notice and comment rulemaking no later than July 15,
2021. Any such change could result in an increase in the costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could increase the costs of Boaz Energys operations. Certain of the Underlying Properties have been used for oil and natural gas exploration and production for many years. Although the operators
may have utilized operating and disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes may have been disposed of or released on or under the Underlying Properties, or on or under other offsite locations
where these petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes have been taken for recycling or disposal. The Underlying Properties and the petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes disposed or released thereon may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws. Under
such laws, the owner or operator could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes, to clean up contaminated property and to perform remedial operations such as restoration of pits and plugging of abandoned wells to prevent future
contamination or to pay some or all of the costs of any such action. Water Discharges The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict
controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil,  13

into federal and state waters. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency.
Obtaining permits has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects. In addition, federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or
other requirements of the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations. In June 2015, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) published a final rule attempting to clarify the federal jurisdictional reach over
waters of the United States (WOTUS). Several legal challenges to the rule followed, along with attempts to stay implementation following the change in presidential administration. Currently, the WOTUS rule is active in some states and
enjoined in others. However, on December 11, 2018, the EPA and the Corps proposed changes to regulations under the CWA that would provide discrete categories of jurisdictional waters and tests for determining whether a particular waterbody
meets any of those classifications. Several groups have already announced their intentions to challenge the proposed rule. Therefore, the scope of jurisdiction under the CWA is uncertain at this time. Spill prevention, control and countermeasure
plan requirements imposed under the Clean Water Act require appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a hydrocarbon tank spill, rupture or leak. In addition, the Clean
Water Act and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain types of facilities. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended, or OPA, amends the Clean
Water Act and establishes strict liability and natural resource damages liability for unauthorized discharges of oil into waters of the United States. OPA requires owners or operators of certain onshore facilities to prepare Facility Response Plans
for responding to a worst case discharge of oil into waters of the United States. Air Emissions The CAA and comparable state laws restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources through air emissions permitting programs and also
impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. These laws and regulations may require Boaz Energy to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air
emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or incur development expenses to install and utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. For example, in June 2016 the EPA finalized rules regarding
criteria for aggregating multiple small surface sites into a single source for air-quality permitting purposes applicable to the oil and gas industry. This rule could cause small facilities, on an aggregate basis, to be deemed a major source,
thereby triggering more stringent air permitting processes and requirements. Any such requirements could increase the costs of development and production on the Underlying Properties, potentially impairing the economic development of the Underlying
Properties and reducing the amount of cash distributable to Trust unitholders. Obtaining permits has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects. Federal and state regulatory agencies may impose administrative, civil and
criminal penalties for non-compliance with air permits or other requirements of the CAA and associated state laws and regulations. Climate Change In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) present an
endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the CAA that, among other things, establish PSD, construction and Title V operating permit reviews for certain large stationary sources. At the federal level, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented to date. The EPA has, however, adopted rules under
authority of the CAA that, among other things, establish Potential for Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction and Title V operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources that are also potential
major sources of certain principal, or criteria, pollutant emissions. Under these regulations, facilities required to obtain PSD permits must meet best available control technology standards for those GHG emissions. In addition, the EPA
has adopted rules requiring the monitoring  14

##### Table of Contents

and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain petroleum and natural gas system sources in the U.S., including, among others, onshore and offshore production facilities, which include certain
operations on the Underlying Properties. The EPA has expanded the GHG reporting requirements to all segments of the oil and natural gas industry, including gathering and boosting facilities as well as completions and workovers from hydraulically
fractured oil wells. Federal agencies also have begun directly regulating emissions of methane from oil and natural gas operations. For
example, in June 2016, the EPA published New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), known as Subpart OOOOa, that requires certain new, modified or reconstructed facilities in the oil and natural gas sector to reduce these methane gas and
volatile organic compound emissions. Following the change in presidential administration, there have been attempts to modify these regulations, and litigation concerning the regulations is ongoing. As a result, we cannot predict the scope of any
final methane regulatory requirements or the cost to comply with such requirements. At the international level, in December 2015, the
United States and 194 other participating countries adopted the Paris Agreement, which calls for each participating country to establish their own nationally determined standards for reducing carbon output. However, in August 2017 the United States
notified the United Nations that it would be withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement provides for a four-year exit process beginning when it took effect in November 2016, which would result in an effective exit date of November
2020. The United States adherence to the exit process and/or the terms on which the United States may reenter the Paris Agreement or separately negotiated agreement are unclear at this time. Various state and local governments have publicly
committed to furthering the goals of the Paris Agreement. The adoption and implementation of any international, federal or state
legislation or regulations that require reporting of GHGs or otherwise restrict emissions of GHGs could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions for Boaz Energy, and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Notwithstanding potential risks related to climate change, the International Energy Agency estimates that oil and gas will continue to represent a major share of global energy use through
2040, and other private sector studies project continued growth in demand for the next two decades. However, recent activism directed at shifting funding away from companies with energy-related assets could result in limitations or restrictions on
certain sources of funding for the energy sector. Moreover, activist shareholders have introduced proposals that may seek to force companies to adopt aggressive emission reduction targets or to shift away from more carbon-intensive activities. While
we cannot predict the outcomes of such proposals, they could make it more difficult for Boaz Energy to engage in exploration and production activities, ultimately reducing distributable cash to Trust unitholders. Finally, many scientists have
concluded that increasing concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events that could have
an adverse effect on operations of the Underlying Properties and, as a result, the amount of cash distributable to Trust unitholders. Hydraulic
Fracturing Activities Boaz Energy engages in hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a common practice that is used to stimulate
production of hydrocarbons from tight formations, including shales. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production. Currently, hydraulic
fracturing is generally exempt from regulation under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Acts Underground Injection Control program and is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions or similar agencies. However, several federal agencies have asserted regulatory authority over certain aspects of the process. For example, in June 2016, the EPA
published an effluent limit guideline final rule prohibiting the discharge of wastewater from onshore unconventional oil and gas extraction facilities to publicly owned wastewater treatment  15

plants. Additionally, in December 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. The final report concluded that water
cycle activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources under certain limited circumstances. From time to time, legislation has been introduced, but not enacted, in Congress to provide for federal regulation
of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. In the event that new federal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we own mineral or royalty
interests, Boaz Energy may incur additional costs or permitting requirements to comply with such federal requirements that may be significant and that could result in added delays or curtailment in Boaz Energys pursuit of exploration,
development or production activities, which would in turn reduce the oil, natural gas and NGLs produced from the Underlying Properties. Moreover, some states and local governments have adopted, and other governmental entities are considering adopting, regulations that could
impose more stringent permitting, disclosure and well-construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations, including states in which the Underlying Properties are located. For example, Texas has adopted regulations that impose new or more
stringent permitting, disclosure, disposal and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. States could also elect to prohibit high volume hydraulic fracturing altogether. In addition to state laws, local land use
restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict drilling in general and/or hydraulic fracturing in particular. Increased regulation
and attention given to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning, oil, natural gas and NGL production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. Additional legislation or regulation could
also lead to operational delays or increased operating costs for Boaz Energy in the production of oil, natural gas and NGLs, including from the developing shale plays, or could make it more difficult for Boaz Energy to perform hydraulic fracturing.
The adoption of any federal, state or local laws or the implementation of regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing could potentially cause a decrease in Boaz Energys completion of new oil and natural gas wells on the Underlying Properties
and an associated decrease in the distributable cash in the Trust. Endangered Species Act and Migratory Birds Treaty Act In the United States, the Endangered Species Act (the ESA) restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or
their habitats. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the MBTA). To the extent species that are listed under the ESA or similar state laws, or are protected under the MBTA, live in the
areas where the Underlying Properties are located, Boaz Energys abilities to conduct or expand operations on the Underlying Properties could be limited, or Boaz Energy could be forced to incur material additional costs. Moreover, Boaz
Energys drilling activities may be delayed, restricted or precluded in protected habitat areas or during certain seasons, such as breeding and nesting seasons. In addition, as a result of one or more settlements approved by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (the FWS), the agency is
required to make a determination on the listing of numerous other species as endangered or threatened under the ESA by the end of the FWS 2017 fiscal year. The agency missed the deadline, and the review is reportedly ongoing. The designation
of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause Boaz Energys operations to become subject to operating restrictions or bans, and limit future development activity in affected areas. For example, recently, there have
been renewed calls to review protections currently in place for the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard, whose habitat includes portions of the Permian Basin, and to reconsider listing the species under the ESA. If the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard or other species are
listed, the FWS and similar state agencies may designate critical or suitable habitat areas that they believe are necessary for the survival of threatened or endangered species. Such a designation could materially restrict use of or access to
federal, state and private lands. To the extent species are listed under the ESA or similar state laws, or previously unprotected species are designated as threatened or endangered in areas where the Underlying Properties are located, operations on
the Underlying Properties could incur increased costs arising from species protection measures and face delays or limitations with respect to production activities thereon.  16

Item 1A.
Risk Factors Risks Related to the Units Described
below are certain risks that we believe are associated with an investment in the units of the Trust and the oil and natural gas industry. There may be additional risks that are not presently material or known to us. You should carefully consider
each of the following risks and all other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the events described below occur, the Trusts financial condition could be materially adversely affected. The Trust may not be able to
continue as a going concern. Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and lower oil and natural gas prices could reduce proceeds to the Trust and
cash distributions to Trust unitholders. The Trusts reserves and monthly cash distributions are highly dependent upon the
prices realized from the sale of oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas are commodities, and their prices can be volatile and fluctuate widely in response to market uncertainty and relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and
natural gas. These factors include, among others:  

worldwide and regional economic conditions impacting the global supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;  

the price and quantity of foreign imports and U.S. exports of oil and natural gas;  

political and economic conditions in or affecting other oil and natural gas producing regions or countries;  

expectations about future prices of, or the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;  

seasonal energy consumption trends, weather conditions and other natural disasters;  

the volatility and uncertainty of regional pricing differentials, particularly prevailing prices on local price
indexes in the Permian Basin;  

technological advances affecting energy consumption, energy storage and energy supply;  

the price and availability of alternative fuels;  

the proximity, capacity, cost and availability of gathering and transportation facilities;  

U.S. federal, state and local governmental regulation and taxation;  

energy conservation and environmental measures; and  

acts of force majeure. Lower prices of oil and natural gas will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled and may ultimately reduce the amount of oil and natural
gas that is economic to produce from the Underlying Properties. As a result, Boaz Energy or any third-party operator of the Underlying Properties could determine during periods of low commodity prices to shut in or curtail production from wells on
the Underlying Properties or plug and abandon marginal wells that otherwise may have been allowed to continue to produce for a longer period under conditions of higher prices. Specifically, an operator may abandon any well or property if it
reasonably believes that the well or property can no longer produce oil or natural gas in commercially paying quantities. This could result in termination of the Net Profits Interest relating to the abandoned well or property. The Underlying Properties are sensitive to decreasing commodity prices. The commodity price sensitivity is due to a variety of factors that
vary from well to well, including the costs associated with water handling and disposal, chemicals, surface equipment maintenance, downhole casing repairs and reservoir pressure maintenance activities that are necessary to maintain production. As a
result, the volatility of commodity prices may cause the expenses of certain wells to exceed the wells revenue. If this scenario were to occur, Boaz Energy or any third-party operator may decide to shut-in the well or plug and abandon the
well. This could reduce future cash distributions to Trust unitholders.  18

Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 100%
of expected oil production attributable to the Net Profits Interest, based on the reserve report, during 2018 and 76% of such production during 2019. Boaz Energy has not entered into any derivative contracts relating to oil and natural gas volumes
expected to be produced after December 31, 2019, and the terms of the Conveyance prohibit Boaz Energy from entering into new hedging arrangements burdening the Trust or the Underlying Properties. As a result, the amount of the cash
distributions will be subject to a greater fluctuation after December 31, 2019 due to changes in oil and natural gas prices. For a discussion of the derivative contracts, please see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties are depleting assets and production from those reserves will diminish over the long term.
Furthermore, the Trust is precluded from acquiring other oil and natural gas properties or net profits interests to replace the depleting assets and production. Therefore, proceeds to the Trust and cash distributions to Trust unitholders will
decrease over time. The profits payable to the Trust attributable to the Net Profits Interest are derived from the sale of
production of oil and natural gas from the Underlying Properties. The reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties are depleting assets, which means that the reserves and the quantity of oil and natural gas produced from the Underlying
Properties will decline over time. Based on the estimated production and operating expenses in the reserve report of the Underlying Properties, the oil and natural gas production from proved reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties is
projected to increase through 2022 and decline thereafter. Actual decline rates may vary from the projected decline rate. Future
maintenance projects on the Underlying Properties may affect the quantity of proved reserves that can be economically produced from wells on the Underlying Properties. The timing and size of these projects will depend on, among other factors, the
market prices of oil and natural gas. Boaz Energy is not under contractual obligation to develop or otherwise pay development expenses on the Underlying Properties in the future. Furthermore, with respect to properties for which Boaz Energy is not
designated as the operator, Boaz Energy has limited control over the timing or amount of those development expenses. Boaz Energy also has the right to non-consent and not participate in the development expenses on properties for which it is not the
operator, in which case Boaz Energy and the Trust will not receive the production resulting from such development expenses until after payout occurs pursuant to the applicable joint operating agreement. If Boaz Energy or any third-party operator
does not implement maintenance projects when warranted, the future rate of production decline of proved reserves may be higher than the rate currently expected by Boaz Energy or estimated in the reserve report. The Trust Agreement provides that the Trusts activities are limited to owning the Net Profits Interest and any activity reasonably
related to such ownership, including activities required or permitted by the terms of the Conveyance related to the Net Profits Interest. As a result, the Trust is not permitted to acquire other oil and natural gas properties or net profits
interests to replace the depleting assets and production attributable to the Net Profits Interest. Because the net profits payable to the
Trust are derived from the sale of depleting assets, the portion of the distributions to Trust unitholders attributable to depletion may be considered to have the effect of a return of capital as opposed to a return on investment. Eventually, the
Underlying Properties burdened by the Net Profits Interest may cease to produce in commercially paying quantities and the Trust may, therefore, cease to receive any distributions of net profits therefrom. An increase in the differential between the price realized by Boaz Energy for oil or natural gas produced from the Underlying Properties and the NYMEX
or other benchmark price of oil or natural gas could reduce the profits to the Trust and, therefore, the cash distributions by the Trust and the value of Trust units. The prices received for Boaz Energys oil and natural gas production are usually lower than the relevant benchmark prices, such as NYMEX,
that are used for calculating hedge positions. The difference between the  19




---

##### Table of Contents

price received and the benchmark price is called a basis differential. The differential may vary significantly due to market conditions, the quality and location of production and other factors,
including a regional oversupply of oil in the Permian Basin due to current take-away constraints. Boaz Energy cannot accurately predict oil or natural gas differentials in the future. Increases in the differential between the realized price of oil
and natural gas and the benchmark price for oil and natural gas could reduce the profits to the Trust, the cash distributions by the Trust and the value of the Trust units. The amount of monthly cash distributions to Trust unitholders, if any, may vary significantly and is dependent on the net profits available from the
production of the Underlying Properties. The Trust is not expected to consistently maintain or increase distributions over time, and it is possible that no distribution may be made with respect to any particular month. The Trusts revenues are highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices, which are volatile and the Trust indirectly bears an 80% share of
all costs and expenses related to the Underlying Properties, and such expenses may be volatile. As a result, the cash received by the Trust and distributed to Trust unitholders may be unstable. The amount of cash distributed to Trust unitholders is
subject to a variety of factors, including the price at which oil and natural gas produced from the Underlying Properties is sold. The volatility of these prices is due to factors beyond the control of the Trust and Boaz Energy and greatly affects
Boaz Energys business, financial condition, results of operations and, as a result, cash available for distribution. The Trust is not expected to consistently maintain or increase distributions over time. Because the monthly distributions
correlate with the net profits generated each month after payment of costs and expenses related to the Underlying Properties (including direct operating expenses and development expenses), future monthly distributions paid to the Trust unitholders
will vary significantly from month to month and may be zero in any given month. Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts
with respect to approximately 100% of expected oil production attributable to the Net Profits Interest, based on the reserve report, during 2018 and 76% of such production during 2019. Boaz Energy has not entered into any derivative contracts
relating to oil and natural gas volumes expected to be produced after December 31, 2019, and the terms of the Conveyance of the Net Profits Interest prohibit Boaz Energy from entering into new hedging arrangements burdening the Trust or the
Underlying Properties. As a result, the amount of the cash distributions will be subject to a greater fluctuation after December 31, 2019 due to changes in oil and natural gas prices. For a discussion of the derivative contracts, please see
Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual reserves and future production may be less than current estimates, which could reduce cash
distributions by the Trust and the value of the Trust units. The value of the Trust units and the amount of future cash
distributions to the Trust unitholders will depend upon, among other things, the accuracy of the reserves and future production estimated to be attributable to the Trusts interest in the Underlying Properties. It is not possible to measure
underground accumulations of oil and natural gas in an exact way, and estimating reserves is inherently uncertain. Ultimately, actual production and revenues for the Underlying Properties could vary both positively and negatively and in material
amounts from the estimates contained in the reserve reports. Furthermore, direct operating expenses and development expenses relating to the Underlying Properties could be substantially higher than current estimates. Petroleum engineers are required
to make subjective estimates of underground accumulations of oil and natural gas based on factors and assumptions that include:  

historical production from the area compared with production rates from other producing areas;  

oil and natural gas prices, production levels, Btu content, production expenses, transportation costs, severance
and other taxes and development expenses; and  

the assumed effect of expected governmental regulation and future tax rates.  20

##### Table of Contents

Changes in these assumptions and amounts of actual direct operating expenses and development
expenses could materially decrease reserve estimates. In addition, the quantities of recovered reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties may decrease in the future as a result of future decreases in the price of oil or natural gas. Boaz Energy may elect not to invest additional capital in the Underlying Properties in the future. Even if Boaz Energy were to undertake additional
development projects, developing oil and natural gas wells and producing oil and natural gas are costly and high-risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect future production from the Underlying Properties. Any delays,
reductions or cancellations in development and producing activities could decrease revenues that are available for distribution to Trust unitholders. Recovery of proved undeveloped reserves and the development of proved developed non-producing reserves requires capital expenditures and
successful drilling operations by Boaz Energy and other third-party operators of the Underlying Properties. The reserve data included in the reserve report of Boaz Energys independent petroleum engineer assumes a certain amount of capital
expenditures will be made to develop such reserves. The Net Profits Interest bears its proportionate share of these capital expenditures. Moreover, the development of such reserves may take longer and may require higher levels of capital
expenditures than anticipated. Delays in the development of the reserves, increases in drilling and development costs (including expenses related to secondary and tertiary recovery techniques) of such reserves or decreases or continued volatility in
commodity prices will reduce the future net revenues of the estimated proved undeveloped reserves and may result in some projects becoming uneconomic. In addition, delays in the development of reserves could force Boaz Energy to reclassify certain
of the proved reserves as unproved reserves. In addition, the process of developing oil and natural gas wells and producing oil and
natural gas on the Underlying Properties is subject to numerous risks beyond Boaz Energys control, including risks that could delay Boaz Energys or any third-party operators current drilling or production schedule and the risk that
drilling will not result in commercially viable oil or natural gas production. The ability of the operators to carry out operations or to finance planned development expenses could be materially and adversely affected by any factor that may curtail,
delay, reduce or cancel development and production, including:  

delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with environmental and other governmental or regulatory
requirements, including permitting requirements, limitations on or resulting from wastewater discharge and disposal of exploration and production wastes, including, subsurface injections, as well as additional regulation with respect to GHG
emissions;  

pressure or irregularities in geological formations;  

lack of available gathering facilities or delays in construction of gathering facilities;  

lack of available capacity on interconnecting transmission pipelines;  

equipment failures or accidents;  

failure of secondary recovery operations to perform as expected;  

unexpected operational events and drilling conditions;  

declines in oil or natural gas prices;  

limitations in the market for oil or natural gas;  

pipe or cement failures;  

casing collapses;  

lost or damaged drilling and service tools;  

loss of drilling fluid circulation;  

uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas, water or drilling fluids;  21

##### Table of Contents



fires and natural disasters;  

environmental hazards, such as oil and natural gas leaks, pipeline and tank ruptures, encountering naturally
occurring radioactive materials, and unauthorized discharges of brine, well stimulation and completion fluids, toxic gases or other pollutants into the surface and subsurface environment;  

adverse weather conditions, such as drought, floods, blizzards, tornados and ice storms; and  

title problems or legal disputes regarding leasehold rights. In the event that planned operations, including drilling of development wells, are delayed or cancelled, or existing wells or development
wells have lower than anticipated production due to one or more of the factors above or for any other reason, estimated future distributions to Trust unitholders may be reduced. In the event an operator incurs increased costs due to one or more of
the above factors or for any other reason and is not able to recover such costs from insurance, the estimated future distributions to Trust unitholders may be reduced. A significant portion of the reserves associated with and production from the Underlying Properties will be influenced by the success of secondary
recovery techniques. There are uncertainties associated with such techniques and, if these recovery methods do not result in expected production levels, net profits available for distribution to Trust unitholders could be less than expected. A significant portion of the future production from the Underlying Properties will be associated with secondary recovery projects
that are in the early or intermediate stage of implementation. As a result, there can be no assurance that these operations will perform as expected or consistently with the analogous secondary recovery operations used by Boaz Energy in establishing
its reserve and production estimates. As secondary recovery techniques such as waterflooding are used, the amount of oil recovered is expected to first increase as a result of such techniques and then will begin to decline over the long term. Risks
associated with secondary recovery techniques include, but are not limited to, the following:  

higher than projected operating costs;  

lower-than-expected production;  

longer response times;  

unusual or unexpected geological formations;  

fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices;  

regulatory changes;  

shortages of equipment; and  

lack of technical expertise. If these secondary recovery operations do not result in achieving projected production, then the reserves associated with the Underlying
Properties may be less than expected. The standardized measure of the estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the
Trusts interest in the Underlying Properties and the associated PV-10 calculation are not necessarily the same as the current market value of those estimated reserves. The present value of future net cash flow from the proved reserves attributable to the Trusts interest in the Underlying Properties, or
standardized measure, and the related PV-10 calculation, may not represent the current market value of the Trusts interest in the estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Underlying Properties. In accordance with SEC requirements,
the Trust bases the estimated discounted future net cash flow from estimated proved reserves on the 12-month average oil index prices, calculated as the unweighted  22




---

##### Table of Contents

arithmetic average for the first-day-of-the-month price for each month and costs in effect as of the date of the estimate, holding the prices and costs constant throughout the life of the
properties. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in the net present value estimate, and future net present value estimates using then current prices and costs may be significantly less than current estimates. In
addition, the 10% discount factor the Trust uses when calculating discounted future net cash flow for reporting requirements in compliance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board Codification 932, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas,
may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with the Trust or the oil and natural gas industry in general. The Trust is passive in nature and neither the Trust nor the Trust unitholders have any ability to influence Boaz Energy or control the operation or
development of the Underlying Properties. The Trust units are a passive investment that entitle the Trust unitholder to only
receive cash distributions from the Net Profits Interest conveyed to the Trust. Trust unitholders have no voting rights with respect to Boaz Energy and, therefore, have no managerial, contractual or other ability to influence Boaz Energys or
other third party operators activities or the operations of the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energy operated approximately 85% of the production from the Underlying Properties as of December 31, 2018 and is generally responsible for making
all decisions relating to drilling activities, sale of production, compliance with regulatory requirements and other matters that affect such properties. Accordingly, Boaz Energy may take actions that are in its own interest that may be different
from the interests of the Trust. The derivative activities related to production from the Underlying Properties may not adequately protect the
Trust from fluctuations in oil prices. To achieve more predictable cash flows and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in the
prices of oil through December 31, 2018, Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 100% of expected oil production attributable to the Net Profits Interest, based on the reserve report, during the
remainder of 2018 and 76% of such production during 2019. Even so, revenues from the Underlying Properties may fluctuate significantly as a result of the factors described below. In addition, Boaz Energy has not entered into any derivative contracts
relating to oil and natural gas volumes expected to be produced after December 31, 2019. Derivative instruments can also result in
exposure to the risk of financial loss in some circumstances, including when:  

production is less than the volume covered by the derivative instruments;  

the counterparty to the derivative instrument defaults on its contractual obligations;  

there is an increase in the differential between the underlying price in the derivative instrument and actual
prices received; or  

there are issues with regard to legal enforceability of such instruments. The use of derivatives may, in some cases, require the posting of cash collateral with counterparties. If commodity prices or interest rates
change in a manner adverse to Boaz Energy, cash otherwise available for distributions to Trust unitholders would be reduced to the extent of such collateral requirements. Derivative contracts also result in exposure to risk of financial loss if a counterparty fails to perform under a contract. Payments from
derivative contract counterparties to Boaz Energy are intended to offset costs and thus have the effect of providing additional cash to the Trust during periods of lower crude oil prices. In the event that any of the counterparties to the derivative
contracts default on their obligations to make payments to Boaz Energy under the derivative contracts, the cash distributions to the Trust unitholders could be materially reduced. Boaz Energy does not have any security interest from its hedge
counterparties against which it could recover in the event of a default by any such counterparty.  23

The amount of cash available for distribution by the Trust is reduced by the amount of any costs and
expenses related to the Underlying Properties and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trust. The Trust indirectly bears an
80% share of all costs and expenses related to the Underlying Properties, such as direct operating expenses and development expenses (including waterflood expenses), which will reduce the amount of cash received by the Trust and distributed to Trust
unitholders. Historical costs may not be indicative of future costs, and higher costs and expenses related to the Underlying Properties directly decrease the amount of cash received by the Trust in respect of its Net Profits Interest. In addition,
cash available for distribution by the Trust will be further reduced by the Trusts general and administrative expenses. If direct
operating expenses and development expenses on the Underlying Properties together with the other costs exceed gross profits of production from the Underlying Properties, the Trust will not receive net profits from those properties until future gross
profits from production exceed the total of the excess costs, plus accrued interest at the prime rate. If the Trust does not receive net profits pursuant to the Net Profits Interest, or if such net profits are reduced, the Trust will not be able to
distribute cash to the Trust unitholders, or such cash distributions will be reduced, respectively. Development activities may not generate sufficient additional revenue to repay the costs. The unavailability or high cost of equipment, supplies, personnel and services could increase costs of developing and operating the Underlying
Properties and result in a reduction in the amount of cash available for distribution to the Trust unitholders. The demand for
qualified and experienced personnel to conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices,
causing periodic shortages. Historically, there have been shortages of drilling and workover rigs, pipe and other equipment as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled. These factors also cause
significant increases in costs for equipment, supplies, personnel and services. Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate demand and result in increased process for drilling rigs, crews and associated supplies, equipment and services.
Shortages of field personnel and equipment or price increases could hinder the ability to conduct operations. The occurrence, timing and duration of these conditions in the future is impossible to predict. Such shortages could delay development
and/or operating activities or cause a significant increase in development and operating expenses associated with the Underlying Properties, which would reduce the amount of cash received by the Trust and available for distribution to the Trust
unitholders. The Trust units may lose value as a result of title deficiencies with respect to the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energy acquired the Underlying Properties through various acquisitions since October 2013. The existence of a material title deficiency
with respect to the Underlying Properties could reduce the value of a property or render it worthless, thus adversely affecting the Net Profits Interest and the distributions to Trust unitholders. Boaz Energy does not obtain title insurance covering
mineral leaseholds, and Boaz Energys failure to cure any title defects may cause Boaz Energy to lose its rights to production from the Underlying Properties. In the event of any such material title problem, profits available for distribution
to Trust unitholders and the value of the Trust units may be reduced. Boaz Energy may transfer all or a portion of the Underlying Properties at any
time without Trust unitholder consent, subject to specified limitations. Boaz Energy may at any time transfer all or part of the
Underlying Properties, subject to and burdened by the Net Profits Interest, and may abandon its interest in any individual wells or properties if Boaz Energy, acting as a reasonable and prudent operator, believes a well or property has ceased to
produce or is not capable of producing in commercially paying quantities. Trust unitholders are not entitled to vote on any transfer or  24

abandonment of the Underlying Properties, and the Trust will not receive any profits from any such transfer, except in the limited circumstances when the Net Profits Interest is released in
connection with such transfer, in which case the Trust will receive an amount equal to the fair value (net of sales costs) of the Net Profits Interest released. Following any sale or transfer of any of the Underlying Properties, if the Net Profits
Interest is not released in connection with such sale or transfer, the Net Profits Interest would continue to burden the transferred property and net profits attributable to such property would continue to be calculated as part of the computation of
net profits. Boaz Energy may assign to the transferee responsibility for all of Boaz Energys obligations relating to the Net Profits Interest on the portion of the Underlying Properties transferred. A transferee of the Underlying Properties
may operate the Underlying Properties differently than Boaz Energy and may determine not to pursue development projects to the same extent as Boaz Energy or at all. In addition, Boaz Energy may, without the consent of the Trust unitholders, require the Trust to release the Net Profits Interest associated
with the sale of any interest in the Underlying Properties that accounted for no more than 1.0% of the total production from the Underlying Properties in the prior 12 months, provided that Boaz Energy may not require the release during any 365-day
period of portions of the Net Profits Interest having an aggregate fair value to the Trust of greater than $500,000 (a Qualified De Minimis Sale). These releases will be made only in connection with a sale by Boaz Energy of the relevant
Underlying Properties and the Trust will receive an amount equal to the fair value (net of sales costs) of the Net Profits Interest released. In addition, Boaz Energy may cause the Trustee to (i) sell all or any part of the Trust estate, including all or any portion of the Net
Profits Interest or (ii) release any portion of the Net Profits Interest in connection with the sale, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest, by Boaz Energy and/or its affiliates of a divided or undivided portion of their
interests in the Underlying Properties, if approved by Trust unitholders holding at least 75% of the outstanding Trust units, provided that, after December 31, 2022, such a sale or release shall require approval of a majority of the outstanding
Trust units if Boaz Energy and its affiliates own less than 25% of the outstanding Trust units. The net proceeds of any such sale or the consideration received in respect of such release, as applicable, shall be distributed to the Trust unitholders
in the manner approved by the Trust unitholders at such meeting. Boaz Energy may also enter into farm-out, operating, participation and
other similar agreements to develop the property without the consent or approval of the Trustee or any Trust unitholder. The generation of cash for
distribution by the Trust depends in part on access to and operation of gathering, transportation and processing facilities on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. Any limitation in the availability of those facilities could interfere with
sales of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The marketing of oil and natural gas production depends in
large part on the capacity and availability of gathering systems and other pipelines, trucks, storage facilities and other transportation, processing and refining facilities. If these facilities are unavailable on commercially reasonable terms or
otherwise, production from the Underlying Properties could be shut in or Boaz Energy or the third party operators could be required to delay or discontinue drilling plans and commercial production. Boaz Energy relies (and expects to rely in the
future) on facilities developed and owned by third parties in order to transport, store, process and sell the oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energys plan to develop and sell its oil and natural gas could be
materially and adversely affected by the inability or unwillingness of third parties to provide sufficient facilities and services to Boaz Energy on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise. The amount of oil and natural gas that can be produced and sold from a well is subject to limitation in certain circumstances, such as
pipeline interruptions due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, failure of tendered oil and natural gas to meet quality specifications of gathering lines or downstream transporters, excessive pressure, damage to the gathering, transportation,
refining or processing facilities or lack of capacity at such facilities. Increases in activity in the Permian Basin could, in the future, contribute to bottlenecks in  25

processing and transportation that could negatively affect the production, transportation and sale of oil and natural gas from the Underlying Properties, and these adverse effects could be
disproportionately severe compared to more geographically diverse operations. If Boaz Energy or the third party operators are forced to reduce production due to such a curtailment, the revenues of the Trust and the amount of cash distributions to
the Trust unitholders would similarly be reduced due to the reduction of profits from the sale of production. All of the Underlying Properties are
concentrated in the Permian Basin, making the Trust vulnerable to risks associated with operating in only one major geographic area. As a result of the Trusts geographic concentration, an adverse development in the industry in the Permian Basin could have a greater
impact on revenues of the Trust and the amount of cash distributions to the Trust unitholders than if the Underlying Properties were more geographically diverse. The Underlying Properties may also be disproportionately exposed to the impact of
adverse developments in exploration and production of oil and natural gas, regional supply and demand factors, governmental regulation or midstream capacity constraints. Delays or interruptions caused by such factors could have a material adverse
effect on revenues of the Trust and the amount of cash distributions to the Trust unitholders. Similarly, the concentration of the
Underlying Properties within the Permian Basin exposes the Trust to risks, which could adversely affect development activities or production relating to such formations. In addition, in areas where exploration and production activities are
increasing, Boaz Energy could be subject to increasing competition for drilling rigs, equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages or delays. The curtailments arising from these and similar
circumstances may last from a few days to several months, and in many cases, Boaz Energy may be provided only limited, if any, notice as to when such circumstances will arise and their duration. The Trustee must, under certain circumstances, sell the Net Profits Interest and dissolve the Trust prior to the expected termination of the Trust. If
this were to occur, Trust unitholders may not recover their investment. The Trustee must sell the Net Profits Interest and
dissolve the Trust if the holders of 75% of the outstanding units approve the sale of the Net Profits Interest or approve the dissolution of the Trust. The Trustee must also sell the Net Profits Interest and dissolve the Trust if the annual gross
profits from the Underlying Properties attributable to the Net Profits Interest are less than $2.0 million for each of any two consecutive years. The Trust will receive the net proceeds of any such sale, and will distribute such proceeds to its
unitholders after deducting Trust expenses. Boaz Energy may sell Trust units in the public or private markets, and such sales could have an adverse
impact on the trading price of the Trust units. Boaz Energy currently holds an aggregate of 5,915,732 Trust units. Boaz Energy or
its owners, including NGP Energy Capital Management (NGP), may sell Trust units in the public or private markets, and any such sales could have an adverse impact on the price of the Trust units or on any trading market that may develop.
The Trust has granted registration rights to Boaz Energy and its affiliates, including NGP, and their respective transferees, which, if exercised, would facilitate sales of Trust units by Boaz Energy or its owners, as applicable. The trading price for the Trust units may not reflect the value of the Net Profits Interest held by the Trust. The trading price for publicly traded securities similar to the Trust units tends to be tied to recent and expected levels of cash
distributions as well as oil and natural gas prices. The amounts available for distribution by the Trust vary in response to numerous factors outside the control of the Trust, including prevailing prices for sales of oil and natural gas production
from the Underlying Properties and the timing and amount of direct operating expenses and development expenses. Consequently, the market price for the Trust units may not necessarily be indicative of the value that the Trust would realize if it sold
the Net Profits Interest to a third-party  26

##### Table of Contents

buyer. In addition, such market price may not necessarily reflect the fact that, since the assets of the Trust are depleting assets, a portion of each cash distribution paid with respect to the
Trust units should be considered by investors as a return of capital, with the remainder being considered as a return on investment. As a result, distributions made to a Trust unitholder over the life of these depleting assets may not equal or
exceed the purchase price paid by the Trust unitholder. Conflicts of interest could arise between Boaz Energy and its affiliates, on the one hand,
and the Trust and the Trust unitholders, on the other hand. As working interest owners in, and the operator of substantially all
of the production from the Underlying Properties, Boaz Energy and its affiliates could have interests that conflict with the interests of the Trust and the Trust unitholders. For example:  

Boaz Energys interests may conflict with those of the Trust and the Trust unitholders in situations
involving the development, maintenance, operation or abandonment of certain wells on the Underlying Properties for which Boaz Energy acts as the operator. Boaz Energy may also make decisions with respect to development expenses that adversely affect
the Underlying Properties. These decisions include not incurring or reducing development expenses on properties for which Boaz Energy acts as the operator, which could cause the Trust to not achieve the production growth projected in the reserve
report or could cause oil and natural gas production to decline at a faster rate and thereby result in lower cash distributions by the Trust in the future.  

Boaz Energy may sell some or all of the Underlying Properties without taking into consideration the interests of
the Trust unitholders. Such sales may not be in the best interests of the Trust unitholders. These purchasers may lack Boaz Energys experience or its credit worthiness. Boaz Energy also has the right, under certain circumstances, to cause the
Trust to release all or a portion of the Net Profits Interest in connection with a sale of a portion of the Underlying Properties to which such Net Profits Interest relates. In such an event, the Trust is entitled to receive the fair value (net of
sales costs) of the Net Profits Interest released.  

Boaz Energy and its affiliates have registration rights and can sell Trust units without considering the effects
such sale may have on Trust unit prices or on the Trust itself. Additionally, Boaz Energy and its affiliates can vote their Trust units in their sole discretion without considering the interests of the other Trust unitholders. Boaz Energy is not a
fiduciary with respect to the Trust unitholders or the Trust and does not owe any fiduciary duties or liabilities to the Trust unitholders or the Trust.  

Boaz Energy owns and operates oil and natural gas properties that are not included in the Underlying Properties.
As a result, Boaz Energys management team may dedicate their time and effort to the management of these other properties. Additionally, Boaz Energy is under no obligation to dedicate financial resources to the Underlying Properties and may
decide to direct capital expenditures to these other properties. The Trust is administered by a Trustee who cannot be replaced
except by a majority vote of the Trust unitholders at a special meeting, which may make it difficult for Trust unitholders to remove or replace the Trustee. The affairs of the Trust are managed by the Trustee. The voting rights of Trust unitholders are more limited than those of stockholders of most
public corporations. For example, there is no requirement for annual meetings of Trust unitholders or for an annual or other periodic re-election of the Trustee, and the Trust does not intend to hold annual meetings of Trust unitholders. The Trust
Agreement provides that the Trustee may only be removed and replaced by the holders of a majority of the Trust units present in person or by proxy at a meeting of such holders where a quorum is present, including Trust units held by Boaz Energy,
called by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding Trust units. As a result, it will be difficult for public Trust unitholders to remove or replace the Trustee without the cooperation of Boaz Energy so long as it
holds a significant percentage of total Trust units.  27

Trust unitholders have limited ability to enforce provisions of the Conveyance creating the Net
Profits Interest, and Boaz Energys liability to the Trust is limited. The Trustee has the power and authority to cause the
Trust to sue Boaz Energy or any other future owner of the Underlying Properties to enforce the terms of the Conveyance creating the Net Profits Interest. If the Trustee does not take appropriate action to cause the Trust to enforce provisions of the
Conveyance, Trust unitholders recourse would likely be limited to bringing a lawsuit against the Trustee to compel the Trustee to take specified actions or, subject to any restrictions in the governing instrument to the Trust, to bring a
derivative action seeking authority to bring an action in the name of the Trust to enforce provisions of the Conveyance. As a result, Trust unitholders will not be able to sue Boaz Energy or any future owner of the Underlying Properties to enforce
these rights. However, such limitations do not apply to or otherwise limit any claims that the Trust unitholders may have under the federal securities laws. Furthermore, the Conveyance provides that, except as set forth in the Conveyance, Boaz
Energy is not liable to the Trust for the manner in which it performs its duties in operating the Underlying Properties as long as it acts without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Further, the Trust Agreement will provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, Boaz Energy and its affiliates shall not be subject to fiduciary duties or be liable for conflicts of interest principles. Courts outside of Delaware may not recognize the limited liability of the Trust unitholders provided under Delaware law. Under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, Trust unitholders are entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of
corporations for profit under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No assurance can be given, however, that the courts in jurisdictions outside of Delaware will give effect to such limitation. For as long as the Trust is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, it will not be required to comply with certain disclosure
requirements that apply to other public companies. The Trust is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart
Our Business Act (JOBS Act). For as long as the Trust is an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, the Trust will not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an
auditors attestation report on the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring
mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (3) comply with any new audit rules
adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise or (4) provide certain disclosures regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies. In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period
provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Trust intends to take advantage of all of the reduced reporting requirements and exemptions under Section 107 of the JOBS Act until it is no
longer an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information that the Trust provides you may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. Additionally, the Trust is currently a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act and, in the event that the Trust
is still considered a smaller reporting company at such time as it ceases being an emerging growth company, it will be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requiring that an independent registered
public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  28

##### Table of Contents

The operations of the Underlying Properties are subject to environmental laws and regulations that
could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting operations on them or result in significant costs and liabilities, which could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Trust unitholders. The oil and natural gas exploration and production operations on the Underlying Properties are subject to stringent and comprehensive federal,
state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations that apply to the operations on the
Underlying Properties, including the requirement to obtain a permit before conducting drilling, secondary recovery, waste disposal or other regulated activities; the restriction of types, quantities and concentrations of materials that can be
released into the environment; restrictions on water withdrawal and use; the incurrence of significant development expenses to install pollution or safety-related controls at the operated facilities; the limitation or prohibition of drilling
activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; and the imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations. For example, in June 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) finalized rules regarding criteria for aggregating multiple small surface sites into a single source for air-quality permitting purposes applicable to the oil and natural gas industry. This rule could cause small facilities, on an
aggregate basis, to be deemed a major source, thereby triggering more stringent air permitting processes and requirements. Any such requirements could result in delays and increase the costs of development and production, reducing the profits
available to the Trust and potentially impairing the economic development of the Underlying Properties. Numerous governmental authorities, such as the EPA and analogous state agencies, have the power to enforce compliance with these laws and
regulations and the permits issued under them, often times requiring difficult and costly actions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties; the imposition of
investigatory or remedial obligations; and the issuance of injunctions limiting or preventing some or all of the operations on the Underlying Properties. Furthermore, the inability to comply with environmental laws and regulations in a
cost-effective manner, such as removal and disposal of produced water and other generated oil and natural gas wastes, could impair the production of oil and natural gas from the Underlying Properties in a commercial manner, which could further
result in a reduction of distributable cash to the Trust unitholders. There is inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs
and liabilities in the course of operations on the Underlying Properties as a result of the handling of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes, air emissions and wastewater discharges related to operations, and historical industry operations and waste
disposal practices, which in turn could decrease the profitability of the Underlying Properties and result in a reduction of distributable cash to the Trust unitholders. Under certain environmental laws and regulations, owners and operators may be
subject to joint and several strict liability for the removal or remediation of previously released materials or property contamination regardless of whether such owner or operator was responsible for the release or contamination or whether such
owner or operator was in compliance with all applicable laws at the time those actions were taken. Remediation costs related to such contamination have the potential to adversely affect production on the Underlying Properties and could consequently
result in a reduction of distributable cash to the Trust unitholders. Private parties, including the owners of properties upon which wells are drilled and facilities where petroleum hydrocarbons or wastes are taken for reclamation or disposal, may
also have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance as well as to seek damages for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations or for personal injury or property damage. In addition, the risk of accidental spills or releases
could expose the Underlying Properties to significant liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on their financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Trust
unitholders. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly operational control requirements or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could
require operations on the Underlying Properties to incur significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on their results of operations, competitive position or financial condition, which
could subsequently adversely affect the distribution of cash to the Trust unitholders.  29

The Trust indirectly bears 80% of all costs and expenses paid by Boaz Energy, including
those related to environmental compliance and liabilities associated with the Underlying Properties, including costs and liabilities resulting from conditions that existed prior to Boaz Energys acquisition of the Underlying Properties unless
such costs and expenses result from the operators negligence or misconduct. In addition, as a result of the increased cost of compliance, Boaz Energy may decide to discontinue drilling. The amount of cash available for distribution by the Trust could be reduced by expenses caused by uninsured claims. Boaz Energy maintains insurance coverage against potential losses that it believes are customary in its industry. Boaz Energy currently
maintains general liability insurance and excess liability coverage with limits of $2.0 million and $1.0 million per occurrence, respectively, and $10.0 million and $10.0 million in the aggregate, respectively. Boaz Energys excess liability
coverage has a deductible of $10,000 per occurrence, while there is no deductible on the general liability insurance. The general liability insurance covers Boaz Energy and its subsidiaries for liabilities arising out of bodily injury or property
damage, including any resulting loss of use to third parties, and for sudden and accidental pollution or environmental liability, while the excess liability coverage is in addition to and triggered if the general liability per occurrence limit is
reached. In addition, Boaz Energy maintains control of well insurance with per occurrence limits ranging from $2.0 million to $3.0 million and deductibles ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 depending on the status of the well. Boaz Energy is not
required to maintain any minimum levels of insurance and its ability to maintain any such coverages will depend on conditions in the insurance markets among other factors beyond Boaz Energys control. In addition, Boaz Energys general
liability insurance and excess liability policies do not provide coverage with respect to legal and contractual liabilities of the Trust, and the Trust does not maintain such coverage since it is passive in nature and does not have any ability to
influence Boaz Energy or control the operations or development of the Underlying Properties. However, the Trust unitholders may indirectly benefit from Boaz Energys insurance coverage to the extent that insurance proceeds offset or reduce any
costs or expenses that are deducted when calculating the net profits attributable to the Trust. Boaz Energy does not currently have any
insurance policies in effect that are intended to provide coverage for losses solely related to waterflooding or other completion operations; however, Boaz Energy believes its general liability and excess liability insurance policies would cover
third-party claims related to waterflooding or other completion operations in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of such policies. These policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated remediation
of pollution. In addition, these policies do not provide coverage for all liabilities, and Boaz Energy cannot assure you that the insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that Boaz Energy will be able to maintain
adequate insurance at rates it considers reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could result in a significant decrease in the amount of cash available for distribution by the Trust. Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in Boaz Energy incurring increased costs,
additional operating restrictions or delays and fewer potential drilling locations. Boaz Energy engages in hydraulic fracturing.
Hydraulic fracturing is a common practice that is used to stimulate production of hydrocarbons from tight formations, including shales. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into formations to fracture the
surrounding rock and stimulate production. Currently, hydraulic fracturing is generally exempt from regulation under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Acts Underground Injection Control program and is typically regulated by state oil and gas
commissions or similar agencies. However, several federal agencies have asserted regulatory authority over certain aspects of the
process. For example, in June 2016, the EPA published an effluent limit guideline final rule prohibiting the discharge of wastewater from onshore unconventional oil and gas extraction facilities to publicly owned wastewater treatment  30

plants. Additionally, in December 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. The final report concluded that water
cycle activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources under certain limited circumstances. In
recent years there has been increased public concern regarding an alleged potential for hydraulic fracturing to adversely affect drinking water supplies and to induce seismic events. As a result, several federal and state regulatory initiatives have
emerged that seek to increase the regulatory burden imposed on hydraulic fracturing. From time to time, legislation has been introduced, but not enacted, in Congress to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure
of the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. In the event that new federal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where the Underlying Properties are located, Boaz Energy and outside operators
may incur additional costs or permitting requirements to comply with such federal requirements that may be significant and that could result in added delays or curtailment in the pursuit of exploration, development or production activities, which
would in turn reduce the oil, natural gas and NGLs produced from the Underlying Properties. Moreover, some states and local governments
have adopted, and other governmental entities are considering adopting, regulations that could impose more stringent permitting, disclosure and well-construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. For example, Texas, where the
Underlying Properties are located, has adopted regulations that impose new or more stringent permitting, disclosure, disposal and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. States could also elect to prohibit high volume
hydraulic fracturing altogether. In addition to state laws, local land use restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict drilling in general and/or hydraulic fracturing in particular. Increased regulation and attention given to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning,
oil, natural gas and NGL production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. Additional legislation or regulation could also lead to operational delays or increased operating costs for our operators in the production of oil, natural gas and
NGLs, including from the developing shale plays, or could make it more difficult for Boaz Energy and outside operators to perform hydraulic fracturing. The adoption of any federal, state or local laws or the implementation of regulations regarding
hydraulic fracturing could potentially cause a decrease in Boaz Energys completion of new oil and natural gas wells on the Underlying Properties and an associated decrease in the cash distributable to Trust unitholders. The adoption of climate change legislation by Congress could result in increased operating costs for Boaz Energy and reduced demand for the oil, natural
gas and NGLs that Boaz Energy produces. In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other GHGs present
an endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) that among other things, establish PSD, construction and Title V operating permit reviews
for certain large stationary sources. At the federal level, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented to date. The
EPA has, however, adopted rules under authority of the CAA that, among other things, establish PSD construction and Title V operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources that are also potential major sources of
certain principal or critical pollutant emissions. Under these regulations, facilities required to obtain PSD permits must meet best available control technology standards for those GHG emissions. In addition, the EPA has adopted rules
requiring the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain petroleum and natural gas system sources in the U.S., including, among others, onshore production facilities, which include certain of Boaz Energys operations. The EPA
has expanded the GHG reporting requirements to all segments of the oil and natural gas industry, including gathering and boosting facilities as well as completions and workovers from hydraulically fractured oil wells. Federal agencies also have begun directly regulating emissions of methane from oil and natural gas operations. In June 2016, the EPA published
NSPS, known as Subpart OOOOa, that requires certain new,  31

modified or reconstructed facilities in the oil and natural gas sector to reduce these methane gas and volatile organic compound emissions. Following the change in presidential administration,
there have been attempts to modify these regulations, and litigation concerning the regulations is ongoing. As a result, we cannot predict the scope of any final methane regulatory requirements or the cost to comply with such requirements. At the international level, in December 2015, the United States and 194 other participating countries adopted the Paris Agreement, which calls
for each participating country to establish their own nationally determined standards for reducing carbon output. However, in August 2017 the United States notified the United Nations that it would be withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The Paris
Agreement provides for a four-year exit process beginning when it took effect in November 2016, which would result in an effective exit date of November 2020. The United States adherence to the exit process and/or the terms on which the United
States may reenter the Paris Agreement or separately negotiated agreement are unclear at this time. The adoption and implementation of
any international, federal or state legislation or regulations that require reporting of GHGs or otherwise restrict emissions of GHGs could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, and could have a material adverse
effect on Boaz Energys business, financial condition and results of operations. Notwithstanding potential risks related to climate change, the International Energy Agency estimates that oil and gas will continue to represent a major share of
global energy use through 2040, and other private sector studies project continued growth in demand for the next two decades. However, recent activism directed at shifting funding away from companies with energy-related assets could result in
limitations or restrictions on certain sources of funding for operators to engage in exploration and production activities, ultimately reducing income generated from the Underlying Properties. Finally, many scientists have concluded that increasing
concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events that could have an adverse effect on
production on the Underlying Properties and, as a result, the cash distributable to Trust unitholders. Additional restrictions on drilling
activities intended to protect certain species of wildlife may adversely affect Boaz Energys ability to conduct drilling activities. In the United States, the ESA restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. Similar protections are
offered to migratory birds under the MBTA. To the extent species that are listed under the ESA or similar state laws, or are protected under the MBTA, live in the areas where the Underlying Properties are located, Boaz Energys abilities to
conduct or expand operations on the Underlying Properties could be limited, or Boaz Energy could be forced to incur material additional costs. Moreover, Boaz Energys drilling activities may be delayed, restricted or precluded in protected
habitat areas or during certain seasons, such as breeding and nesting seasons. In addition, as a result of one or more settlements
approved by the FWS, the agency is required to make a determination on the listing of numerous other species as endangered or threatened under the ESA by the end of the FWS 2017 fiscal year. The agency missed the deadline, and the review is
reportedly ongoing. The designation of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause Boaz Energys operations to become subject to operating restrictions or bans, and limit future development activity in affected areas.
For example, recently, there have been renewed calls to review protections currently in place for the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard, whose habitat includes portions of the Permian Basin, and to reconsider listing the species under the ESA. If the Dunes
Sagebrush Lizard or other species are listed, the FWS and similar state agencies may designate critical or suitable habitat areas that they believe are necessary for the survival of threatened or endangered species. Such a designation could
materially restrict use of or access to federal, state and private lands. To the extent species are listed under the ESA or similar state laws, or previously unprotected species are designated as threatened or endangered in areas where the
Underlying Properties are located, operations on the Underlying Properties could incur increased costs arising from species protection measures and face delays or limitations with respect to production activities thereon.  32

The bankruptcy of Boaz Energy or any other third-party operator could adversely affect the operation
of the wells and the development of the proved undeveloped reserves and interrupt or decrease distributions to Trust unitholders. The value of the Net Profits Interest and the Trusts ultimate cash available for distribution are highly dependent on Boaz Energys
financial condition. Neither Boaz Energy nor any other operators of the Underlying Properties has agreed with the Trust to maintain a certain net worth or to be restricted by other similar covenants, and Boaz Energy is not obligated to retain and is
not retaining all of the net proceeds of this offering to pay costs of operating and developing the Underlying Properties. In addition, Boaz Energy is not required to retain ownership of its Trust units and may sell such units or distribute such
units, or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to its owners. The ability to develop and operate the Underlying Properties depends on Boaz Energys future financial condition and economic performance and access to capital, which in turn will
depend upon the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Boaz Energy. The bankruptcy of Boaz Energy or any third-party operator of the Underlying Properties could impede the operation of the wells and the
development of the proved undeveloped reserves and decrease distributions to the Trust unitholders. For example:  

The working interest owners in the affected properties may have to seek a new party to perform the development
and the operations of the affected wells. The right to replace an operator would be subject to the terms of any joint operating agreement, and the exercise thereof could be subject to the automatic stay in the operators bankruptcy case. Boaz
Energy or the other working interest owners may not be able to find a replacement operator, and they may not be able to enter into a new agreement with such replacement party on favorable terms within a reasonable period of time.  

The payment of any accrued but unpaid oil and natural gas revenues payable on the Net Profits Interest at the
time of a bankruptcy case filing by Boaz Energy or another operator could be delayed or such amounts may be misapplied or not paid to the Trust at all, which would result in a general unsecured claim in favor the Trust against Boaz Energys (or
the applicable operators) bankruptcy estate. There is no certainty that such unsecured claim would receive a distribution from the bankruptcy estate.  

Executory contracts to which Boaz Energy or another operator is party (including midstream and transportation
contracts) would be subject to possible rejection in the bankruptcy case, which would result in a loss of access to the service provided by the counterparty to such contracts.  

The counterparties to Boaz Energys derivative contracts would not be subject to the automatic stay in
bankruptcy and would be permitted to terminate such derivative contracts, which would result in Boaz Energy losing the benefit of such contracts and could result in any termination payment being applied by a counterparty to other obligations owed to
the counterparty by Boaz Energy and therefore not to the Trust. Boaz Energy is not a reporting company and is not be required to file
periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Therefore, Trust unitholders do not have access to financial information about Boaz Energy. The business of Boaz Energy could be negatively affected by various security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and other disruptions. Boaz Energy faces various security threats, including cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information
or to render data or systems unusable; threats to the security of the facilities and infrastructure of Boaz Energy and of third parties on which Boaz Energy relies such as processing plants and pipelines; and threats from terrorist acts. The
potential for such security threats has subjected Boaz Energys operations to increased risks that could have a material adverse effect on its business, which could reduce revenues that are available for distribution to the Trust unitholders.
In particular, Boaz Energys implementation  33

##### Table of Contents

of various procedures and controls to monitor and mitigate security threats and to increase security for its information, facilities and infrastructure may result in increased capital and
operating costs. Moreover, there can be no assurance that such procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent security breaches from occurring. If any of these security breaches were to occur, they could lead to losses of sensitive
information, critical infrastructure or capabilities essential to Boaz Energys operation of the Underlying Properties, its calculation of gross and net profits and its remittance of payments in respect of the Net Profits Interest to the Trust. Tax Risks Related to the Trust Units The
Trust has not requested a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the Trust. If the IRS were to determine (and be sustained in that determination) that the Trust is not a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the
Trust could be subject to more complex and costly tax reporting requirements that could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Trust unitholders. If the Trust were not treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust should be treated as a partnership for such
purposes. Although the Trust would not become subject to U.S. federal income taxation at the entity level as a result of treatment as a partnership, and items of income, gain, loss and deduction would flow through to the Trust unitholders, the
Trusts tax reporting requirements would be more complex and costly to implement and maintain, and its distributions to Trust unitholders could be reduced as a result. If the Trust were treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, it would likely be subject to new audit rules that alter the
procedures for auditing large partnerships and assessing and collecting income taxes due (including applicable penalties and interest) as a result of an audit. These rules effectively would impose an entity level tax on the Trust, and Trust
unitholders might have to bear the expense of the adjustment even if they were not Trust unitholders during the audited taxable year. Neither Boaz Energy nor the Trustee has requested a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax status of the Trust, and neither Boaz Energy nor the
Trust can assure you that such a ruling would be granted if requested or that the IRS will not challenge these positions on audit. Trust
unitholders should be aware of the possible state tax implications of owning Trust units. Trust unitholders are required to pay U.S. federal income
taxes on their share of the Trusts income, even if they do not receive any cash distributions from the Trust. Trust
unitholders are treated as if they own the Trusts assets and receive the Trusts income and are directly taxable thereon as though the Trust were not in existence. Because the Trust generates taxable income that can be different in amount
than the cash the Trust distributes, Trust unitholders are required to pay any U.S. federal income taxes and, in some cases, state and local income taxes, on their share of the Trusts taxable income even if they receive no cash distributions
from the Trust. Trust unitholders may not receive cash distributions from the Trust equal to their share of the Trusts taxable income or even equal to the actual tax liability that results from that income. A portion of any gain recognized on the disposition of the Trust units could be taxed as ordinary income. A Trust unitholder who sells his Trust units will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Trust
unitholders adjusted tax basis in those Trust units. A substantial portion of any gain recognized may be taxed as ordinary income due to potential recapture items, including depletion recapture. The Trust generally allocates its items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of the Trust units based upon the
monthly record date. The IRS may challenge this treatment. The Trust generally allocates its items of income, gain, loss and
deduction between transferors and transferees of the Trust units each month based upon the ownership of the Trust units on the monthly record date,  34

##### Table of Contents

instead of the date a particular Trust unit is transferred. The IRS could disagree with this allocation method and could assert that income and deductions of the Trust should be determined and
allocated on a daily or prorated basis, which could require adjustments to the tax returns of the affected Trust unitholders and result in an increase in the administrative expense of the Trust in subsequent periods.  Item 1B.

Properties Description of the Underlying Properties The Underlying Properties consist of 35,390 gross (22,997 net) acres in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin extends over 75,000 square miles
in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, consists of multiple, stacked hydrocarbon-bearing formations and has produced over 30 billion Bbls of oil and more than 75 Tcf of natural gas since its discovery in 1921. The basin is further characterized
by a favorable operating environment, high oil and liquids-rich natural gas content, significant in-place midstream infrastructure, a well-developed network of oilfield service providers and long-lived reserves with generally consistent geologic
attributes and reservoir quality. The Underlying Properties consist of long-life reserves in mature, conventional oil fields with
established decline curves. As of December 31, 2018, the Underlying Properties had proved reserves of 12.8 MMBoe and 59.5% of the volumes and 61.7% of PV-10 value were attributable to proved developed reserves. Approximately 93.9% of the 12.8
MMBoe of proved reserves, based on PV-10 value, were operated by Boaz Energy. Major Producing Areas The Underlying Properties consist of the following four operating areas: The Permian Clearfork area consists of 2,434 net acres on the Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin in Hockley and Terry Counties,
Texas. A majority of the production in the Permian Clearfork area comes from wells in the Kingdom Clearfork field, which primarily produce from the Clearfork formation. Boaz Energys waterflooding operations were first implemented in the
Kingdom Clearfork field in March 2015. As of December 31, 2018, CG&A estimates the Underlying Properties in the Permian Clearfork to have 4.51 MMBoe of total proved reserves, 51% of which are proved developed reserves. Decreased reserves in
the Permian Clearfork area were primarily the result of a negative revision of 1,830 MBoe in proved developed reserves as a result of operational issues in one of the waterfloods in Terry County, Texas. The Permian Abo area consists of 1,667 net acres on the Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin in Terry and Cochran Counties, Texas. A
majority of the production in the Permian Abo area comes from wells in the Kingdom Abo field, which primarily produce from the Abo formation. In 2011, a waterflood pilot program was implemented in the North West Terry Abo unit (NWTA)
located in the Kingdom Abo field that converted one producing well to an injection well. Boaz Energy fully converted the field to water injection upon purchasing the NWTA in June 2016, and in January 2017 installed a new injection pump that added an
additional injection capacity of 2,500 barrels of water per day. In August 2017, NWTA 313 demonstrated initial waterflood response. As of December 31, 2018, CG&A estimates the Underlying Properties in the Permian Abo to have 2.53 MMBoe of
total proved reserves, 91.4% of which are proved developed reserves. The Permian Shelf area consists of 14,727 net acres on the Eastern
Shelf of the Permian Basin in Glasscock, Schleicher, Stonewall and Coke Counties, Texas. A significant portion of the production in the Permian Shelf area comes from wells in the Fort McKavitt and Flowers fields, which primarily produce from the

formation. A significant portion of the production in the Permian Shelf area comes from wells in the Fort McKavitt and Flowers fields, which primarily produce from the Canyon formation. As of
December 31, 2018, CG&A estimates the Underlying Properties in the Permian Shelf to have 4.15 MMBoe of total proved reserves, 41.1% of which are proved developed reserves. The Permian Platform area consists of 4,169 net acres on the Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin in Ward, Crane, Terry and Ector
Counties, Texas. The properties primarily produce from the Clearfork, San Andres, and Devonian formations. The properties primarily produce from the Clearfork, San Andres, and Devonian formations. As of December 31, 2018, CG&A estimates the
Underlying Properties in the Permian Platform to have 1.64 MMBoe of total proved reserves, 80.2% of which are proved developed. Oil and Natural Gas
Data Proved Reserves Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. (Cawley Gillespie), independent petroleum and geological engineers, estimated
crude oil (including natural gas liquids) and natural gas proved reserves of the Underlying Properties full economic life and for the Trust life as of December 31, 2018. Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating reserve volumes
and values, and the estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of the reserves may vary significantly from the original estimates. In addition, the
reserves and net revenues attributable to the Net Profits Interest include only 80% of the reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties that are expected to be produced within the term of the Net Profits Interest. The technical person
primarily responsible for overseeing the review of the third-party reserve reports is Casey Morton, Boaz Energys Executive Vice President, Engineering. Mr. Morton received a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech
University in 2003. Prior to joining Boaz Energy, Mr. Morton served as an engineer for Netherland, Sewell & Associates from September 2008 to January 2012. Mr. Morton has over 15 years of experience working in various
capacities in the energy industry, including acquisition analysis, reserve estimation, reservoir engineering and operations engineering. Mr. Morton is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas (License No. 107582).
Mr. Morton consults regularly with Cawley Gillespie during the reserve estimation process to review properties, assumptions and relevant data. The independent petroleum engineers report as to the proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2018 was prepared by
Cawley Gillespie. Cawley Gillespie, whose firm registration number is F-693, was founded in 1961 and is a leader in the evaluation of oil and gas properties. The technical person at Cawley Gillespie primarily
responsible for overseeing the reserve estimates with respect to the Underlying Properties and the Net Profits Interest attributable to the Trust is Mr. Zane Meekins. Mr. Meekins has been a practicing consulting petroleum engineer at
Cawley Gillespie since 1989. Mr. Meekins is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas (License No. 71055) and has over 31 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering, with over 29 years of experience in the
estimation and evaluation of reserves. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering. Mr. Meekins meets or exceeds the education, training, and experience requirements set forth in
the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; he is proficient in judiciously applying industry standard practices to engineering and geoscience
evaluations as well as applying SEC and other industry reserve definitions and guidelines. Proved reserves are reserves which, by
analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations
prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expires, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probalistic methods are used for estimation. If deterministic methods
are used, the term reasonable certainty implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil or natural gas actually  36




---

##### Table of Contents

recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. If probalistic methods are used, there should at least be a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. The technical and economic data used in the estimation of the proved reserves include, but are not limited to, production performance
decline curve analyses, well logs, geologic maps, well-test data, production data (including flow rates), well data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests. Cawley Gillespie uses this technical data, together with a
combination of standard engineering and geoscience methods, including the production performance, volumetric and analogy methods. After estimating the reserves of each proved developed property, it was determined that a reasonable level of certainty
exists with respect to the reserves which can be expected from any individual undeveloped well in the field. The consistency of reserves attributable to the proved developed wells, which cover a wide area, further supports proved undeveloped
classification. The proved undeveloped locations in the Underlying Properties are predominantly direct offsets of other producing wells.
Data from both Boaz Energy and offset operators with which Boaz Energy has exchanged technical data demonstrate a consistency in these conventional plays over an area significantly larger than the Underlying Properties. In addition, information from
other analogous fields in similar geographical locations have also been used to analyze secondary reserves on the underlying properties. Boaz Energys internal petroleum engineer works closely with its independent reserve engineers to ensure the integrity, accuracy and
timeliness of data furnished to the independent reserve engineers in their reserve estimating process. Periodically, the Boaz Energy petroleum engineer meets with the independent reserve engineers to review properties and discuss methods and
assumptions used by Boaz Energy and the independent reserve engineers to prepare reserve estimates. Reserve engineering is and must be
recognized as a subjective process of estimating volumes of economically recoverable oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation. As a result, the estimates of different engineers often vary. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production may justify revisions of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates often
differ from the quantities of economically recoverable oil and natural gas and of future net revenues which are based on a number of variables and assumptions, all of which may vary from actual results, including geologic interpretation, prices and
future production rates and costs. Please read Risk Factors appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Proved
oil and natural gas reserves were based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month prices for the 12-month period before the reporting date. For the year ended December 31, 2018, benchmark prices used were $65.56 per one
barrel (Bbl) for oil and $3.10 per one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for natural gas. The WTI price is used for oil prices and the Henry Hub price is used for natural gas. All prices are then further adjusted for quality,
transportation fees and regional price differentials. The following table summarizes estimated proved reserve quantities and PV-10

Reserves for natural gas liquids are included as a component of natural gas reserves. (2)
Boe represents an approximate energy equivalent basis such that one Bbl of crude oil equals approximately
six Mcf of natural gas. However, the value of oil and natural gas fluctuate and the value of reserve volumes of oil and natural gas are often substantially different than the amount implied by the Boe ratio. (3)
PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from
proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash inflows using the twelve-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month
commodity prices, after adjustment for differentials in location and quality, for each of the preceding twelve months. An estimate of PV-10 is provided because it provides useful information to investors as it is widely used by professional analysts
and sophisticated investors when evaluating oil and gas companies. PV-10 is considered relevant and useful for evaluating the relative monetary significance of oil and natural gas reserves. PV-10 is not intended to represent the current market value
of the estimated reserves of the Underlying Properties. (4)
For 2018, $3.10 per Mcf of natural gas and $65.56 per Bbl of oil were used in determining future net
revenue. Reserve quantities and revenues for the Net Profits Interest were estimated from projections of reserves
and revenues attributable to the Underlying Properties. Since the Trust has a defined Net Profits Interest, the Trust does not own a specific percentage of the oil and natural gas reserve quantities. Accordingly, reserves allocated to the Trust
pertaining to its 80% Net Profits Interest in the Underlying Properties have effectively been reduced to reflect recovery of the Trusts 80% portion of applicable production and development costs. Because Trust reserve quantities are determined
using an allocation formula, any changes in actual or assumed prices or costs will result in revisions to the estimated reserve quantities allocated to the Net Profits Interest. Estimates of proved reserves were prepared in accordance with guidelines prescribed by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions based upon an average of the NYMEX first-day-of-the-month commodity price during the 12-month period ending on the balance sheet date with no provision
for price and cost escalations except by contractual arrangements. Information concerning changes in net proved reserves attributable to
the Trust, and the calculation of the standardized measure of the related discounted future net revenues is contained in the notes to the financial statements of the Trust included in this Form 10-K. Boaz Energy has not filed reserve estimates
covering the Underlying Properties with any other federal authority or agency. Proved Undeveloped Reserves (PUDs) The following table summarizes the changes in estimated proved undeveloped reserves of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2018:  Oil(MBbls)(1)

The Conveyance was effective as of January 1, 2018; however, the reserves are presented as of
December 31, 2017. Changes in proved undeveloped reserves during the year ended December 31, 2018 were
primarily due to the revision of 816 MBoe of proved developed reserves to proved undeveloped reserves because of the expected capital investment needed to capture those reserves. Boaz Energy has estimated that an additional $460,000 of capital for
waterflood conformance work is required to capture these reserves and maintain an efficient and uniform waterflood. This capital will be used to clean out and stimulate producers and injectors in the field used for extracting oil, natural gas and
water and injecting water in secondary recovery methods, respectively. Changes in extensions are a result of the classification of working interest partners drilling wells that were not classified in the year ending December 31, 2017. Developed and Undeveloped Acreage The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2018 relating to the leasehold acreage associated with the Underlying
Properties. Developed acreage consists of acreage spaced or assigned to productive wells and does not include undrilled acreage held by production under the terms of the lease. Undeveloped acreage is defined as acreage on which wells have not been
drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.  DevelopedAcreage

2017 and 2018 was 99.3, 110.9 and 109 MBoe, respectively, consisting solely of oil. Such fields are the only fields that contain 15% or more of the total proved reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties as of December 31, 2016, 2017
and 2018. Production costs for oil and natural gas attributable to the Underlying Properties for the year ended

7,483,466 Abandonment and Sale of Underlying Properties Boaz Energy or any transferee has the right to abandon its interest in any well or property if Boaz Energy or such transferee, acting as a
reasonable and prudent operator, believes a well or property ceases to produce or is not capable of producing in commercially paying quantities. Upon termination of the lease, the portion of the Net Profits Interest relating to the abandoned
property will be extinguished. Boaz Energy generally may sell all or a portion of its interests in the Underlying Properties, subject to
and burdened by the Net Profits Interest, without the consent of the Trust unitholders. In addition, Boaz Energy may, under certain circumstances cause the Trust to release or sell portions of the Net Profits Interest.  41

##### Table of Contents

Title to Properties The Underlying Properties are or may be subject to one or more of the burdens and obligations described below. To the extent that these burdens
and obligations affect Boaz Energys rights to production or the value of production from the Underlying Properties, they have been taken into account in calculating the Trusts interests and in estimating the size and the value of the
reserves attributable to the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energys interests in the oil and natural gas properties comprising the
Underlying Properties are typically subject, in one degree or another, to one or more of the following:  

royalties and other burdens, express and implied, under oil and natural gas leases and other arrangements;  

overriding royalties, production payments and similar interests and other burdens created by Boaz Energys
predecessors in title;  

a variety of contractual obligations arising under operating agreements, farm-out agreements, production sales
contracts and other agreements that may affect the Underlying Properties or their title;  

liens that arise in the normal course of operations, such as those for unpaid taxes, statutory liens securing
unpaid suppliers and contractors and contractual liens under operating agreements that are not yet delinquent or, if delinquent, are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;  

pooling, unitization and communitization agreements, declarations and orders;  

easements, restrictions, rights-of-way and other matters that commonly affect property;  

conventional rights of reassignment that obligate Boaz Energy to reassign all or part of a property to a third
party if Boaz Energy intends to release or abandon such property;  

preferential rights to purchase or similar agreements and required third-party consents to assignments or similar
agreements;  

obligations or duties affecting the Underlying Properties to any municipality or public authority with respect to
any franchise, grant, license or permit, and all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority; and  

rights reserved to or vested in the appropriate governmental agency or authority to control or regulate the
Underlying Properties and also the interests held therein, including Boaz Energys interests and the Net Profits Interest. Boaz Energy believes that the burdens and obligations affecting the Underlying Properties are conventional in the industry for similar
properties. Boaz Energy also believes that the existing burdens and obligations do not, in the aggregate, materially interfere with the use of the Underlying Properties and will not materially adversely affect the Net Profits Interest or its value. In order to give third parties notice of the Net Profits Interest, Boaz Energy recorded the Conveyance in Texas in the real property
records in the Texas counties in which the Underlying Properties are located, or in such other public records of Texas as required under applicable law to place third parties on notice of the Conveyance. Under Texas law, the Conveyance constitutes the conveyance of a presently vested, non-possessory interest in real property. Therefore, Boaz
Energy and the Trust believe that, in a bankruptcy of Boaz Energy, the Net Profits Interest will remain outside of any Boaz Energy bankruptcy estate and will be a continuing obligation of any successor to Boaz Energy as the operator of the
Underlying Properties under Texas law and, as such, outside of Boaz Energys bankruptcy estate.  42

##### Table of Contents

Boaz Energy believes that its title to the Underlying Properties is, and the Trusts
title to the Net Profits Interest will be, good and defensible in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and gas industry, subject to such exceptions as are not so material to detract substantially from the use or value of such
properties or royalty interests. Under the terms of the Conveyance, Boaz Energy has provided a special warranty of title with respect to the Net Profits Interest, subject to the burdens and obligations described in this section. Item 3. Legal Proceedings On October 1, 2018, a lawsuit styled Thaleia L. Marston, Trustee of the Marston Trust v. Blackbeard Operating, LLC, et.al,
No. 18-10-24761-CVW in the 143rd District Court in Ward County, Texas was filed, naming, among others, Boaz Energy and the Trust as defendants. The plaintiff is a lessor under two leases operated by Blackbeard Operating, LLC. The Underlying
Properties include the interests of Boaz Energy in some of the minerals covered by those leases. The litigation seeks surface use damages and alleges violations of the terms of the leases, among other things. Boaz Energy has advised the Trustee
that it does not anticipate the litigation will materially affect the Trust. The Trustee has filed an answer in the litigation and further responses to the plaintiffs claims are being prepared. Currently, there are no other legal proceedings pending to which the Trust is a party or of which any of its property is the subject. The
foregoing does not address any legal proceedings to which Boaz Energy or any of the third party operators may be a party or subject or that may otherwise relate to or affect any of the Underlying Properties or the operations of any of the operators
of the Underlying Properties.  Item 4.
Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable.  43

therefore is not required to provide the information required by this Item.  Item 7.
Trustees Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview PermRock Royalty Trust, a Delaware statutory trust formed in November 2017 by Boaz Energy, completed its initial public offering in May 2018.
The Trusts only asset and source of income is the Net Profits Interest, which entitles the Trust to receive 80% of the net profits from oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The Net Profits Interest is passive in
nature and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any management control over or responsibility for costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. Although the Trust was formed on November 22, 2017, the conveyance of the Net Profits Interest did not occur until May 4, 2018, with
an effective date of January 1, 2018, and no proceeds were received by the Trust from Boaz Energy during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. As a result, the Trust did not recognize any income or make any distributions during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The Trust is required to make monthly cash distributions of substantially all of its
monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of the Trust and any cash reserves, to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day after the record date. The
Net Profits Interest is entitled to a share of the profits from and after January 1, 2018 attributable to production  44

occurring on or after such date. The Trust is not subject to any pre-set termination provisions based on a maximum volume of oil or natural gas to be produced or the passage of time. The amount
of Trust revenues and cash distributions to Trust unitholders depends on, among other things:  

volumes produced;  

wellhead prices;  

price differentials;  

production and development costs;  

potential reductions or suspensions of production; and  

the amount and timing of Trust administrative expenses. Boaz Energy typically receives payment for oil production 30 to 60 days after it is produced and for natural gas production 60 to
90 days after it is produced. 2018 Recap and 2019 Outlook In 2018, Boaz Energy participated in the drilling of 23 new wells operated by others in the Permian Platform area and two new wells in the
Permian Shelf. Boaz Energy has continued to optimize waterfloods in the Permian Clearfork and Permian Shelf through the use of conformance technology. In 2019, Boaz Energy plans to streamline existing waterflood operations, convert additional wells
to injection wells where prudent, drill one to two new operated wells and continue to participate in Permian Platform drilling proposed by non-operating partners. Results of Operations The Trust was
formed on November 22, 2017. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, on May 4, 2018, Boaz Energy contributed the Net Profits Interest to the Trust in exchange for 12,165,732 Trust units. The Net Profits Interest
entitles the Trust to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale and production of oil and natural gas attributable to the Underlying Properties that are produced during the term of the Conveyance. The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and
neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any control over, or responsibility for, costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. Based on 12,165,732 Trust units outstanding at each date listed below, the per unit distributions during the year ended December 31, 2018

##### Table of Contents

the Trust to receive 80% of the net profits attributable to Boaz Energys interest from the sale of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The Trusts income
from the Net Profits Interest consists of monthly net profits attributable to income from the Underlying Properties. Because of the interval between the time of production and receipt of net profits income by the Trust, the Trust recognizes
production during the month in which the related net profits income is paid to the Trust. Net profits income for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, was based on production for the period between January 2018 and October 2018. The table
below outlines the computation of income from the Net Profits Interest received by the Trust derived from the excess of revenues over direct operating expenses of the Underlying Properties for the year ended December 31, 2018:  Year EndedDecember 31,2018Underlying Properties sales volumes:Oil (MBbl)

##### Table of Contents

Derivative Contracts Income from the Net Profits Interest is exposed to fluctuations in energy prices in the normal scope of business. To mitigate the negative
effects of a possible decline in oil prices on distributable income to the Trust, Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 100% of expected oil production attributable to the Net Profits Interest during
the remainder of 2018 and 76% of such production during 2019. These derivative contracts consist of put option contracts with strike prices of $60 per barrel in 2018 and $50 per barrel in 2019. Boaz Energy believes that these put option contracts
provide downside protection to the Trust in the event spot prices for crude oil decline below the applicable strike price, while still allowing the Trust to benefit from increasing crude oil prices. If prices for crude oil as quoted on NYMEX decline
below the applicable strike prices, Boaz Energy could exercise its put option and receive payment generally equal to the difference between the applicable strike price and the market price for crude oil at the time of exercise, multiplied by the
notional quantity of crude oil hedged under the applicable put option contract being exercised. After December 31, 2019, none of the production attributable to the Underlying Properties will be hedged. Liquidity and Capital Resources The
Trusts principal sources of liquidity and capital are cash flow generated from the Net Profits Interest and borrowings, if any, to fund administrative expenses. The Trusts primary uses of cash are distributions to Trust unitholders,
payment of Trust administrative expenses, including, if applicable, any reserves established by the Trustee for future liabilities. Administrative expenses include the Trustee and Delaware Trustee fees, accounting, engineering, legal, tax advisory and other professional
fees, and Form 1099 preparation and distribution expenses. The Trust is also responsible for paying other expenses incurred as a result of being a publicly traded entity, including costs associated with annual, quarterly and current reports to the
SEC, NYSE listing fees, independent auditor fees and registrar and transfer agent fees. If the Trustee determines that cash on hand and cash to be received in respect of the Net Profits Interest are, or will be, insufficient to cover the
Trusts liabilities and expenses, the Trustee may cause the Trust to borrow funds to pay liabilities of the Trust. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to retain cash from the distributions it receives (i) in an
amount not to exceed $1.0 million at any one time to be used by the Trust in the event that its cash on hand (including available cash reserves) is not sufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses as they become due, however until
May 31, 2019, the Trustee shall not retain any cash from monthly distributions pursuant to this clause and (ii) in such amounts as the Trustee in its discretion deems appropriate to pay for future liabilities of the Trust. Boaz Energy has
provided the Trust with a $1.0 million Letter of Credit (the Letter of Credit) that may be drawn by the Trust to pay its administrative expenses. Commencing in the monthly period ending May 31, 2019 and continuing until the reserve
described in clause (i) equals or exceeds $1.0 million, the Trustee will retain cash from distributions in such amount as the Trustee determines but not less than $25,000 per month or more than $100,000 per month. At such time as such reserve
equals or exceeds $1.0 million, the Trustee is required to release the Letter of Credit. If the Trustee causes the Trust to borrow funds,
or if the Trustee draws on the Letter of Credit being provided by Boaz Energy, the Trust unitholders will not receive distributions until the borrowed funds or the amount drawn, as applicable, are repaid. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of
December 31, 2018, the Trust had no off-balance sheet arrangements. New Accounting Pronouncements As the Trusts financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis, most accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the
Trusts financial statements. No new accounting pronouncements have been adopted or issued that would impact the financial statements of the Trust.  47

##### Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Trust uses the modified cash basis of accounting to report Trust receipts of the Net Profits Interest and payments of expenses incurred.
The Net Profits Interest represents the right to receive revenues (oil and natural gas sales), less direct operating expenses (lease operating expenses and severance and ad valorem taxes) and development expenses of the Underlying Properties,
multiplied by 80%, plus any payments received in connection with the settlement of certain derivative contracts. Cash distributions of the Trust are made based on the amount of cash received by the Trust pursuant to terms of the Conveyance creating
the Net Profits Interest. The financial statements of the Trust, as prepared on a modified cash basis, reflect the Trusts assets,
liabilities, Trust corpus, earnings and distributions as follows:  

Income from the Net Profits Interest is recorded when distributions are received by the Trust;  

Distributions to Trust unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trust;  

Trust general and administrative expenses (which includes the Trustees fees as well as accounting,
engineering, legal, tax advisory and other professional fees) are recorded when paid;  

Cash reserves for Trust expenses may be established by the Trustee for certain expenditures that would not be
recorded as contingent liabilities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP);  

Amortization of the investment in the Net Profits Interest is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is
charged directly to Trust corpus, and such amortization does not affect distributions from the Trust; and  

The Trusts investment in the Net Profits Interest is periodically assessed to determine whether its
aggregate value has been impaired below its total capitalized cost basis and, if an impairment loss is indicated by the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows, then an impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The financial
statements of the Trust are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is considered to be the most meaningful basis of preparation for a royalty trust because monthly distributions to the Trust unitholders are based on net cash
receipts. Although this basis of accounting is permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC, the financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP because net profits income is not accrued in the month of
production, expenses are not recognized when incurred and cash reserves may be established for certain contingencies that would not be recorded in GAAP financial statements. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP corresponds to the
accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts. The preparation of financial statements requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Oil and Natural Gas Reserves. The proved oil and natural gas reserves for the Underlying Properties are estimated by independent
petroleum engineers. Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. Estimates by different engineers often vary, sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors
such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates. Because proved reserves are required to be
estimated using prices at the date of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices. Accordingly, oil and natural gas quantities ultimately recovered and the timing of production may be
substantially different from original estimates.  48




---

##### Table of Contents

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 natural gas reserve quantities. Under this disclosure, future cash inflows are computed by applying the average prices during the 12-month
period prior to fiscal year-end, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month benchmark 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 natural gas reserves. Changes in any of these assumptions, including consideration of other factors, could have a significant impact on the standardized measure. The standardized
measure does not necessarily result in an estimate of the current fair market value of proved reserves. Amortization of Net Profits
Interest. The Trust calculates amortization of the Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties on a unit-of-production basis based on the Underlying Properties production and reserves. The reserves upon which the amortization
rate is based are quantity estimates which are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of proved reserves. The volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating costs. These
estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future. Downward revisions in proved reserves may result in an increased rate of amortization. Amortization is recorded on sales volumes paid by the Trust during the
relevant period and is charged directly to the Trust corpus balance. As a result, amortization does not affect the cash earnings of the Trust. Impairment of Net Profits Interest. The Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties is periodically assessed for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the current fair value based on expected future cash flows of the Underlying Properties may be less than the carrying value of the Net Profits Interest. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the
Trust did not recognize any impairment of the Net Profits Interest. Future downward revisions in actual production volumes relative to current forecasts, higher than expected operating costs, or lower than anticipated market pricing could result in
recognition of impairment in future periods. Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in Item 8 of this report
for the Trusts significant accounting policies.  Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we have elected scaled disclosure reporting and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  1.
Organization of Trust PermRock Royalty Trust (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 22, 2017 under the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act pursuant to a Trust Agreement among Boaz Energy II, LLC (Boaz Energy), as trustor, Simmons Bank, as Trustee (the Trustee), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Delaware Trustee (the Delaware
Trustee). The Trust was created to acquire and hold the Net Profits Interest for the benefit of the Trust unitholders pursuant to
an agreement between Boaz Energy, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering of Trust units, on May 4, 2018, Boaz Energy conveyed the Net Profits Interest to the Trust in exchange for
Trust units. The Net Profits Interest represents an interest in the Underlying Properties. The Net Profits Interest entitles the Trust to
receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any control over, or responsibility for, costs
relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. The Trust has and will continue to make monthly cash distributions of all of its monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of the Trust and any cash
reserves, to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day after the record date. The Trusts first distribution in May 2018 related to sales from production from January and February of 2018 and
production expenses for the months of January, February and a portion of March of 2018. All distributions following the first distribution generally relate to sales from a one-month period. The Trustee may deposit funds awaiting distribution in an account with an FDIC-insured or national bank, including the Trustee, if the
interest paid to the Trust at least equals amounts paid by the Trustee on similar deposits, and make other short-term investments with the funds distributed to the Trust. In May 2018, Boaz Energy completed an initial public offering of 6,250,000 of its Trust units and received net proceeds, after payment of
underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $99.6 million. Upon completion of the offering, Boaz Energy owned 5,915,732 Trust units of the 12,165,732 Trust units issued and outstanding.  2.
Trust Significant Accounting Policies  a.
Basis of Accounting The Trust uses the modified cash basis of accounting to report Trust receipts of the Net Profits Interest and payments of expenses incurred.
The Net Profits Interest represents the right to receive revenues (oil and natural gas sales), less direct operating expenses (lease operating expenses and severance and ad valorem taxes) and development expenses of the Underlying Properties,
multiplied by 80%, less any payments made or plus any payments received in connection with the settlement of certain hedge contracts. Cash distributions of the Trust are made based on the amount of cash received by the Trust pursuant to terms of the
Conveyance creating the Net Profits Interest. The financial statements of the Trust, as prepared on a modified cash basis, reflect the
Trusts assets, liabilities, Trust corpus, earnings and distributions as follows:  

Income from the Net Profits Interest is recorded when distributions are received by the Trust;  

Distributions to Trust unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trust;  

Trust general and administrative expenses (which includes the Trustees fees as well as accounting,
engineering, legal, tax advisory and other professional fees) are recorded when paid;  56




---

##### Table of Contents



Cash reserves for Trust expenses may be established by the Trustee for certain expenditures that would not be
recorded as contingent liabilities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP);  

Amortization of the investment in the Net Profits Interest is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is
charged directly to Trust corpus, and such amortization does not affect distributions from the Trust; and  

The Trusts investment in the Net Profits Interest is periodically assessed to determine whether its
aggregate value has been impaired below its total capitalized cost basis and, if an impairment loss is indicated by the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows, then an impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.  b.
Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is considered to be the most meaningful basis
of preparation for a royalty trust because monthly distributions to the Trust unitholders are based on net cash receipts. Although this basis of accounting is permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC, the financial statements of the Trust differ from
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP because net profits income is not accrued in the month of production, expenses are not recognized when incurred and cash reserves may be established for certain contingencies that would not be
recorded in GAAP financial statements. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty
Trusts.  c.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  d.
Risks and Uncertainties. The Trusts revenue and distributions are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for oil and natural gas, each of
which depends on numerous factors beyond the Trusts control such as economic conditions, the global political environment, regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been
volatile, and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.  e.
Contingencies. Contingencies related to the Underlying Properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be expected to result in reductions to cash
receipts to the Trust in respect of the Net Profits Interest with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Trust unitholders. Please see the discussion of litigation in Note 11.  3.
Income Taxes Tax counsel advised the Trust at the time of formation that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust is treated as a grantor trust and
is be subject to federal income tax at the trust level. Trust unitholders are treated for such purposes as owning a direct interest in the assets of the Trust, and each Trust unitholder is taxed directly on its pro rata share of the income and any
gain, if sold, attributable to the assets of the Trust and is entitled to claim  57

##### Table of Contents

its pro rata share of deductions and expenses attributable to the assets of the Trust. Each Trust unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding income tax requirements, if any,
applicable to such unitholders ownership of Trust units.  4.
Cash Reserves Pursuant to the amended and restated Trust Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2018, by and among Boaz Energy, the Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee (the Trust Agreement), the Trustee is authorized to retain cash from the distributions the Trust receives (i) in an amount not to exceed $1.0 million at any one time to be used by the Trust in the event that its cash on hand
(including available cash reserves) is not sufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses as they become due, however until May 31, 2019, the Trustee shall not retain any cash from monthly distributions pursuant to this clause and
(ii) in such amounts as the Trustee in its discretion deems appropriate to pay for future liabilities of the Trust. Boaz Energy has provided the Trust with a $1.0 million letter of credit (the Letter of Credit) that may be drawn by
the Trust to pay administrative expenses of the Trust, and the Trustee is not permitted to retain cash from distributions with respect to the administrative expense reserve described in clause (i) until the monthly period ended May 31,
2019. Commencing in that monthly period and continuing until the reserve described in clause (i) equals or exceeds $1.0 million, the Trustee shall retain cash from distributions in such amount as the Trustee determines but not less than $25,000
per month or more than $100,000 per month. At such time as such reserve equals or exceeds $1.0 million, the Trustee is required to release the Letter of Credit.  5.
Distributions to Unitholders The Trust makes monthly cash distributions of all of its monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of
the Trust and any cash reserves, to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day after the record date. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no distributions as the Trust
received no proceeds until May 2018. Based on 12,165,732 Trust units outstanding at each date listed below, the monthly per unit
distributions during the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:  Record Date

Related Party Transactions Trustee Administrative Fee. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trust pays an annual administrative fee to the Trustee
and Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustees annual fee is $4,000. In 2018, the Trustee received $120,000 for the period from May through December 2018. For 2019, the Trustees annual administrative fee is $183,600. The Trustees
annual administrative fee will increase at a rate of 3% per year for the first three years of the Trusts existence, increase at a rate of 2% per year for the following two years, then increase at a rate of 1% per year until the
20th anniversary of the Trusts formation and then remain flat  58

thereafter. These costs of the Trust, which are included in administration expenses, are deducted by the Trust before distributions are made to Trust unitholders. Agreements with Boaz Energy. On May 4, 2018, the Trust entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of Boaz
Energy and certain of its affiliates and transferees, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to register the offering of the Trust units held by Boaz Energy and certain of its affiliates and permitted transferees upon request by Boaz Energy. As of
March 27, 2019, Boaz Energy owned 5,878,332 Trust units of the 12,165,732 Trust units issued and outstanding.  7.
Derivative Contracts Income from the Net Profits Interest is exposed to fluctuations in energy prices in the normal scope of business. To mitigate the negative
effects of a possible decline in oil prices on distributable income to the Trust, Boaz Energy entered into derivative put option contracts with respect to approximately 100% of expected oil production attributable to the Net Profits Interest during
the remainder of 2018 and 76% of such production during 2019. These derivative contracts consist of put option contracts with strike prices of $60 per barrel in 2018 and $50 per barrel in 2019. Boaz Energy believes that these put option contracts
provide downside protection to the Trust in the event spot prices for crude oil decline below the applicable strike price, while still allowing the Trust to benefit from increasing crude oil prices. If prices for crude oil as quoted on NYMEX decline
below the applicable strike prices, Boaz Energy could exercise its put option and receive payment generally equal to the difference between the applicable strike price and the market price for crude oil at the time of exercise, multiplied by the
notional quantity of crude oil hedged under the applicable put option contract being exercised. After December 31, 2019, none of the production attributable to the Underlying Properties will be hedged.  8.
Certain Contracts The Trust is not a party to any purchase, gathering, or processing contracts. Boaz Energy and other outside operators are parties to oil and
natural gas sales contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Boaz Energy reports that Phillips 66, Plains All American Pipeline and Sunoco, Inc. accounted for 27.45%, 29.01%, and 16.32%, respectively, of total oil and natural gas
revenues, and that no other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the total revenue of the Underlying Properties. Boaz Energy does not believe that the loss of any of these parties as a purchaser of crude oil or natural gas production from the
Underlying Properties would have a material impact on the business or operations of Boaz Energy or the Underlying Properties because of the large number of marketing firms and competitive nature of oil and gas purchasers in the Permian Basin.  9.
Significant Customers Information as to significant purchasers of oil and gas production attributable to the Trusts economic interests is included in Note 8,
above.  10.
Development Costs Boaz Energys capital budget expenditures for 2019 are estimated to be $4 million. The estimate is subject to change based on, among other
things, Boaz Energys actual capital requirements, the pace of regulatory approvals, the mix of projects and swings in the price of oil and natural gas.  11.
Settlements and Litigation On October 1, 2018, a lawsuit styled Thaleia L. Marston, Trustee of the Marston Trust v. Blackbeard Operating, LLC, et.al,
No. 18-10-24761  CVW in the 143rd District Court in Ward County, Texas was filed, naming, among others, Boaz Energy and the Trust as defendants. The plaintiff is a lessor under two leases  59

operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC. The Underlying Properties include the interests of Boaz Energy in some of the minerals covered by those leases. The litigation seeks surface use damages
and alleges violations of the terms of the leases, among other things. Boaz Energy has advised the Trustee that it does not anticipate the litigation will materially affect the Trust. The Trustee has filed an answer in the litigation and responses
to the plaintiffs claims are being prepared.  12.
Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited) Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by independent petroleum engineers. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural
gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and
government regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing
wells with existing equipment and operating methods in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, such estimates are
subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of these reserves may be substantially different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily from new information
obtained from development drilling and production history and from changes in economic factors. The following table presents a
reconciliation of proved reserve quantities attributable to the Trust as of December 31, 2018:  Oil(MBbls)

Changes in proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:  

A negative revision of 1,830 MBoe in proved developed reserves in the Permian Basin Clearfork area as a result of
waterflood conformance requirements in one of the waterfloods in Terry County;  

816 MBoe of proved developed reserves has been moved to proved undeveloped reserves because of the expected
capital investment needed to capture those reserves. Boaz Energy has estimated that an additional $460,000 of capital for waterflood conformance work is required to capture these reserves and maintain an efficient and uniform waterflood. This
capital will be used to clean out and stimulate producers and injectors in the field used for extracting oil, natural gas and water and injecting water in secondary recovery methods, respectively;  60



Extensions include approximately 148 MBoe of proved developed and undeveloped reserves that are a result of
working interest partners drilling wells not classified in the year ending December 31, 2017;  

No reserves were sold during this period in the Underlying Properties other than the Qualified De Minimus sale
described in the Additional Provisions section of Part I, Item 1; and  

The Underlying Properties had production volumes of 315 MBoe. Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows The following is a summary of a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to the Trusts Net Profits Interest in
total proved natural gas and oil reserve quantities. Information presented is based upon valuation of proved reserves by using discounted cash flows based upon average oil and gas 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 and severance and ad
valorem taxes, if any, and economic conditions, discounted at the required rate of 10%. As the Trust is not subject to taxation at the Trust level, no provision for income taxes has been made in the following disclosure. Trust prices may differ from
posted NYMEX prices due to differences in product quality and property location. The impact of changes in current prices on reserves could vary significantly from year to year. Accordingly, the information presented below should not be viewed as an
estimate of the fair market value of the Trusts oil and natural gas reserves or the costs that would be incurred to acquire equivalent reserves. A market value determination would require the analysis of additional parameters.

Item 9.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None.  Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Trustee conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Trusts
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(a) and 15d-15(a) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, the Trustee has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Trust are effective as of December 31, 2018, that the information required to be disclosed by the Trust in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the Trustee has
relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by Boaz Energy. Due to the nature of the Trust as a passive
entity and in light of the contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Trust was created, including the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Conveyance of Net Profits Interest, the Trustees disclosure controls and procedures related to
the Trust necessarily rely on (A) information provided by Boaz Energy, including information relating to results of operations, the costs and revenues attributable to the Trusts interests under the Conveyance and other operating and
historical data, plans for future operating and capital expenditures, reserve information, information relating to projected production, and other information relating to the status and results of operations of the Underlying Properties, and
(B) conclusions and reports regarding reserves by the Trusts independent reserve engineers. Trustees Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The information required to be furnished pursuant to this item is set forth below. The Trustee is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Trustee conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the Trustees evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), the
Trustee concluded that the Trusts internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Trusts internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. The Trustee notes for purposes of clarification that
it has no authority over, has not evaluated and makes no statement concerning, the internal control over financial reporting of Boaz Energy.  Item 9B.
Other Information None.  64

PART III  Item 10.
Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance The Trust has no directors or executive officers. The Trustee is a corporate trustee that may only be removed and replaced by the holders of a
majority of the Trust units present in person or by proxy at a meeting of such holders where a quorum is present, including Trust units held by Boaz Energy, called by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 10% of the then outstanding
Trust units. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance The Trust has no directors or officers. Accordingly, only holders of more than 10% of the Trusts units are required to file with the SEC
initial reports of ownership of units and reports of changes in such ownership pursuant to Section 16 under the Exchange Act. Based solely on a review of these reports, the Trustee is not aware of any person having failed to file on a timely
basis the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year or prior fiscal years. Audit Committee and
Nominating Committee Because the Trust does not have a board of directors, it does not have an audit committee, an audit committee
financial expert or a nominating committee. Code of Ethics Because the Trust has no employees, it does not have a code of ethics. Employees of the Trustee, Simmons Bank, must comply with the banks
standards of conduct, a copy of which will be provided to unitholders without charge, upon request made to Simmons Bank, Trustee, P.O. Box 470727, Fort Worth, Texas 76147, Attention: Lee Ann Anderson.  Item 11.
Executive Compensation The Trust does not have any executive officers, directors or employees. The Trust does not have a board of directors, and it does not have a
compensation committee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust pays an annual administrative fee to the Trustee of $180,000 per year subject to escalation. Administrative fees paid to the Trustee in 2018 were $120,000 for May through December
2018.  Item 12.
