PART I  Item 1.
Business Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the Trust) is an express trust created under the laws of Texas pursuant to the Cross Timbers Royalty
Trust Indenture entered into on February 12, 1991 between predecessors of XTO Energy Inc. (formerly known as Cross Timbers Oil Company), as grantors, and NCNB Texas National Bank, as Trustee. On January 9, 2014, the successor of NCNB Texas
National Bank, U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, a division of Bank of America, N.A., gave notice to unitholders that it would resign as Trustee. At the special meeting of the Trusts unitholders held on June 20, 2014,
the unitholders of the Trust voted to approve the proposal to appoint Southwest Bank as successor Trustee of the Trust effective August 29, 2014. Effective October 19, 2017, Simmons First National Corporation (SFNC) completed its acquisition of First Texas BHC, Inc., the
parent company of Southwest Bank, the Trustee of the Trust. SFNC is the parent of Simmons Bank. SFNC merged Southwest Bank with Simmons Bank effective February 20, 2018. Simmons Bank (the Trustee) is now the Trustee of the Trust. The principal office of the Trust is 2911 Turtle Creek Blvd, Suite 850, Dallas, Texas 75219. (Telephone number 855-588-7839). The Trusts internet web site is www.crt-crosstimbers.com. We make available free of charge, through our web
site, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those
reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These reports are accessible through our internet web site as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with,
or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information on our website is not incorporated into this report. On
February 12, 1991, the predecessors of XTO Energy conveyed defined net profits interests to the Trust under five separate conveyances:  1.
one in each of the states of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, to convey a 90% defined net profits interest
carved out of substantially all royalty and overriding royalty interests owned by the predecessors in those states, and  2.
one in each of the states of Texas and Oklahoma, to convey a 75% defined net profits interest carved out of
specific working interests owned by the predecessors in those states. The conveyance of these net profits interests was
effective for production from October 1, 1990. The net profits interests and the underlying properties are further described under Item 2, Properties. In exchange for the net profits interests conveyed to the Trust, the predecessors of XTO Energy received 6,000,000 units of beneficial
interest of the Trust. Predecessors of XTO Energy distributed units to their owners in February 1991 and November 1992, and in February 1992, sold units in the Trusts initial public offering. Units are listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol CRT. XTO Energy currently is not a unitholder of the Trust. On June 25, 2010, XTO Energy
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Under the terms of each of the five conveyances, the Trust receives net
profits income from the net profits interests generally on the last business day of each month. Net profits income is determined by XTO Energy by multiplying the net profit percentage (90% or 75%) times net proceeds from the underlying properties
for each conveyance during the previous month. Net proceeds are the gross proceeds received from the sale of production, less production costs, as defined in the conveyances. For the 90% net profits interests and the 75% net profits
interests, production costs generally include applicable property taxes, transportation, marketing and other charges. For the 75% net profits interests, production costs also include capital and operating costs paid (e.g., drilling, production and
other direct costs of owning and operating the property), monthly overhead charged by operators of the underlying properties, and a monthly overhead XTO Energy deducts as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these  2

##### Table of Contents

interests. If production costs exceed gross proceeds for any conveyance, this excess is carried forward to future monthly computations of net proceeds until the excess costs (plus interest
accrued as specified in the conveyances) are completely recovered. Excess production costs and related accrued interest from one conveyance cannot be used to reduce net proceeds from any other conveyance. For further information on excess costs, see
Note 7 to Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Trust is not liable for any production
costs or liabilities attributable to the underlying properties. If at any time the Trust receives net profits income in excess of the amount due, the Trust is not obligated to return such overpayment, but future net profits income payable to the
Trust will be reduced until the overpayment, plus interest at the prime rate, is recovered. As a working interest owner, XTO Energy can
generally decline participation in any operation and allow consenting parties to conduct such operations, as provided under the operating agreements. XTO Energy also can assign, sell, or otherwise transfer its interest in the underlying properties,
subject to the net profits interests, or can abandon an underlying property that is a working interest if it is incapable of producing in paying quantities, as determined by XTO Energy. To the extent allowed, XTO Energy is responsible for marketing its production from the underlying properties under existing sales contracts or
new arrangements on the best terms reasonably obtainable in the circumstances. Net profits income received by the Trust on or before the
last business day of the month is generally attributable to oil production two months prior and gas production three months prior. The monthly distribution amount to unitholders is determined by: Adding -  1.
net profits income received; 2.
estimated interest income to be received on the monthly distribution amount, including an adjustment for the
difference between the estimated and actual interest received for the prior monthly distribution amount; 3.
cash available as a result of reduction of cash reserves; and 4.
other cash receipts; then Subtracting -  1.
liabilities paid; and 2.
the reduction in cash available due to establishment of or increase in any cash reserve. The monthly distribution amount is distributed to unitholders of record within ten business days after the monthly record date. The monthly
record date is generally the last business day of the month. The Trustee calculates the monthly distribution amount and announces the distribution per unit at least ten days prior to the monthly record date. The Trustee may establish cash reserves for contingencies. Cash held for such reserves, as well as for pending payment of the monthly
distribution amount, may be invested in federal obligations or certificates of deposit of major banks. The Trustees function is to
collect the net profits income from the net profits interests, to pay all Trust expenses and to pay the monthly distribution amount to unitholders. The Trustees powers are specified by the terms of the indenture. The Trust cannot engage in any
business activity or acquire any assets other than the net profits interests and specific short-term cash investments. The Trust has no employees since all administrative functions are performed by the Trustee. Approximately 46% of the net profits income received by the Trust during 2018 was attributable to natural gas, as well as 41% of the
Trusts estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves at December 31, 2018 (based on  3

##### Table of Contents

estimated future net cash flows using 12-month average oil and gas prices, based on the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period). There is generally a greater demand for gas during the winter. Otherwise, Trust income is not subject
to seasonal factors, nor dependent upon patents, licenses, franchises or concessions. The Trust conducts no research activities. The oil
and gas industry is highly competitive in all its phases. Operators of the properties in which the Trust holds interests encounter competition from other oil and gas companies and from individual producers and operators. Oil and natural gas are
commodities, for which market prices are determined by external supply and demand factors. Current market conditions are not necessarily indicative of future conditions.  Item 1A.
Risk Factors The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this report
and presented elsewhere by the Trustee from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect upon the Trusts financial condition, distributable income and changes in trust corpus. The following discussion of risk factors should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included under Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indication of future performance. The market price for the Trust units may not reflect the value of the net profits interests held by the Trust. The public trading price for the Trust units tends to be tied to the recent and expected levels of cash distributions on the Trust units. The
amounts available for distribution by the Trust vary in response to numerous factors outside the control of the Trust or XTO Energy, including prevailing prices for oil and natural gas produced from the underlying properties. The market price of the
Trust units is not necessarily indicative of the value that the Trust would realize if the net profits interests were sold to a third party buyer. In addition, such market price is not necessarily reflective of the fact that, since the assets of the
Trust are depleting assets, a portion of each cash distribution paid on the Trust units should be considered by investors as a return of capital, with the remainder being considered as a return on investment. There is no guarantee that distributions
made to a unitholder over the life of these depleting assets will equal or exceed the purchase price paid by the unitholder. Oil and natural gas
prices fluctuate due to a number of uncontrollable factors, and any decline will adversely affect the net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions. The Trusts monthly cash distributions are highly dependent upon the prices realized from the sale of natural gas and oil. Oil and natural
gas prices can fluctuate widely on a month-to-month basis in response to a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and XTO Energy. Factors that
contribute to price fluctuations include instability in oil-producing regions, worldwide economic conditions, weather conditions, the supply of domestic and foreign oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids,
consumer demand, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the proximity to, and capacity of, transportation facilities and the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures. Moreover, government regulations, such as regulation of natural
gas transportation and price controls, can affect product prices. Oil and natural gas prices have declined substantially from historical highs and may not return to those levels in the foreseeable future, if ever. A significant decline in current
oil or natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the amount of oil and natural gas that is economic to produce, Trust net profits (and therefore cash available for distribution to unitholders) and proved reserves attributable to the
Trusts interests. The volatility of energy prices reduces the predictability of future cash distributions to Trust unitholders. Higher
production expense and/or development costs, without concurrent increases in revenue, will directly decrease the net proceeds payable to the Trust from the properties underlying the 75% net profits interests. Production expense and development costs are deducted in the calculation of the Trusts share of net proceeds from properties underlying
the 75% net profits interests. Accordingly, higher or lower production expense and  4

##### Table of Contents

development costs, without concurrent changes in revenue, will directly decrease or increase the amount received by the Trust for its 75% net profits interests. If development costs and
production expense for properties underlying the 75% net profits in a particular state exceed the production proceeds from the properties, (as was the case with respect to the properties underlying the Texas working interests for all of 2017 and
2018 and with respect to the properties underlying the Oklahoma working interests for the first three quarters of 2017, and the last month of 2018) the Trust will not receive net profits income for those properties until future net proceeds from
production in that state exceed the total of the excess costs plus accrued interest during the deficit period. Development activities may not generate sufficient additional revenue to repay the costs. Proved reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying
assumptions could cause the quantities and net present value of the reserves to be overstated. Estimating proved oil and gas
reserves is inherently uncertain. Petroleum engineers consider many factors and make assumptions in estimating reserves and future net cash flows. Those factors and assumptions include historical production from the area compared with production
rates from similar producing areas, the effects of governmental regulation, assumptions about future commodity prices, production expense and development costs, taxes and capital expenditures, the availability of enhanced recovery techniques and
relationships with landowners, working interest partners, pipeline companies and others. Lower oil and gas prices generally cause lower estimates of proved reserves. Ultimately, actual production, revenues and expenditures for the underlying
properties will vary from estimates and those variances could be material. Because the Trust owns net profits interests, it does not own a specific percentage of the oil and gas reserves. Estimated proved reserves for the net profits interests are
based on estimates of reserves for the underlying properties and an allocation method that considers estimated future net proceeds and oil and gas prices. Because Trust reserve quantities are determined using an allocation formula, increases or
decreases in oil and gas prices can significantly affect estimated reserves of the 75% net profits interests. Operational risks and hazards
associated with the development and operations of the underlying properties may decrease Trust distributions. There are
operational risks and hazards associated with the production and transportation of oil and natural gas, including without limitation natural disasters, blowouts, explosions, fires, leakage of oil or natural gas, releases of other hazardous
materials, mechanical failures, cratering, and pollution. Any of these or similar occurrences could result in the interruption or cessation of operations, personal injury or loss of life, property damage, damage to productive formations or
equipment, damage to the environment or natural resources, or cleanup obligations. The operation of oil and gas properties is also subject to various laws and regulations. Non-compliance with such laws and
regulations could subject the operator to additional costs, sanctions or liabilities. The uninsured costs resulting from any of the above or similar occurrences could be deducted as a production expense or development cost in calculating the net
proceeds payable to the Trust from properties underlying the 75% net profits interests, and would therefore reduce Trust distributions by the amount of such uninsured costs. Future net profits may be subject to risks relating to the creditworthiness of third parties. The Trust does not lend money and has limited ability to borrow money, which the Trustee believes limits the Trusts risk from exposure to
credit markets. The Trusts future net profits, however, may be subject to risks relating to the creditworthiness of the operators of the underlying properties and other purchasers of crude oil and natural gas produced from the underlying
properties. This creditworthiness may be impacted by the price of crude oil and natural gas. Trust unitholders and the Trustee have no influence
over the operations on, or future development of, the underlying properties. Because XTO Energy does not operate most of the
underlying properties, it is unable to significantly influence the operations or future development of the underlying properties. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust unitholders can  5

##### Table of Contents

influence or control the operation or future development of the underlying properties. The failure of an operator to conduct its operations or discharge its obligations in a proper manner could
have an adverse effect on the net proceeds payable to the Trust. Although XTO Energy and the other operators of the underlying properties must adhere to the standard of a prudent operator, they are under no obligation to continue operating the
properties. Neither the Trustee nor Trust unitholders have the right to replace an operator. The assets of the Trust represent interests in
depleting assets and, if XTO Energy or any other operators developing the underlying properties do not perform additional successful development projects, the assets may deplete faster than expected. Eventually, the assets of the Trust will cease to
produce in commercial quantities and the Trust will cease to receive proceeds from such assets. The net proceeds payable to the
Trust are derived from the sale of hydrocarbons from depleting assets. Future maintenance and development projects on the underlying properties will affect the quantity of proved reserves and can offset the reduction in the depletion of proved
reserves. The timing and size of these projects will depend on the market prices of oil and natural gas. If the operator(s) of the properties do not implement additional maintenance and development projects, the future rate of production decline of
proved reserves may be higher than the rate currently expected by the Trust. Because the net proceeds payable to the Trust are derived from the sale of hydrocarbons from depleting assets, the portion of distributions to unitholders attributable to
depletion may be considered a return on capital as opposed to a return on investment. Distributions that are a return of capital will ultimately diminish the depletion tax benefits available to the unitholders, which could reduce the market value of
the units over time. Eventually, the properties underlying the Trusts net profits interest will cease to produce in commercial quantities and the Trust will, therefore, cease to receive any net proceeds therefrom. Terrorism and geopolitical hostilities could adversely affect Trust distributions or the market price of the Trust units. Terrorist attacks and the threat of terrorist attacks, whether domestic or foreign, as well as military or other actions taken in response,
cause instability in the global financial and energy markets. Terrorism and other geopolitical hostilities could adversely affect Trust distributions or the market price of the Trust units in unpredictable ways, including through the disruption of
fuel supplies and markets, increased volatility in oil and natural gas prices, or the possibility that the infrastructure on which the operators of the underlying properties rely could be a direct target or an indirect casualty of an act of terror. XTO Energy may transfer its interest in the underlying properties without the consent of the Trust or the Trust unitholders. XTO Energy may at any time transfer all or part of its interest in the underlying properties to another party. Neither the Trust nor the Trust
unitholders are entitled to vote on any transfer of the properties underlying the Trusts net profits interests, and the Trust will not receive any proceeds of any such transfer. Following any transfer, the transferred property will continue to
be subject to the net profits interests of the Trust, but the calculation, reporting and remitting of net proceeds to the Trust will be the responsibility of the transferee. XTO Energy or any other operator of any underlying property may abandon the property, thereby terminating the related net profits interest payable to
the Trust. XTO Energy or any other operator of the underlying properties, or any transferee thereof, may abandon any well or
property without the consent of the Trust or the Trust unitholders if they reasonably believe that the well or property can no longer produce in commercially economic quantities. This could result in the termination of the net profits interest
relating to the abandoned well or property.  6

##### Table of Contents

The net profits interests can be sold and the Trust would be terminated. The Trust will also be
terminated if it fails to generate sufficient gross proceeds. The Trust may sell the net profits interests if the holders of 80%
or more of the outstanding Trust units approve the sale or vote to terminate the Trust. The Trust will terminate if it fails to generate gross proceeds from the underlying properties of at least $1,000,000 per year over any successive two-year period. Sale of all of the net profits interests will terminate the Trust. The net proceeds of any sale must be for cash with the proceeds less any Trust administrative costs promptly distributed to the
Trust unitholders. The sale of the remaining net profits interests and the termination of the Trust will be taxable events to the Trust
unitholders. Generally, a Trust unitholder will realize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and termination of the Trust and his adjusted basis in such units. Gain or loss realized by a Trust unitholder who
is not a dealer with respect to such units and who has a holding period for the units of more than one year will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss except to the extent of any depletion recapture amount, which must be treated as ordinary
income. Other federal and state tax issues concerning the Trust are discussed under Item 2 and Note 4 to the Trusts financial statements, which are included herein. Each Trust unitholder should consult his own tax advisor regarding Trust tax
compliance matters, including federal and state tax implications concerning the sale of the net profits interests and the termination of the Trust. Trust unitholders have limited voting rights and have limited ability to enforce the Trusts rights against XTO Energy or any other operator of the
underlying properties. The voting rights of a Trust unitholder 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. Additionally, Trust unitholders have no voting rights
in XTO Energy or Exxon Mobil Corporation. The Trust indenture and related trust law permit the Trustee and the Trust to sue XTO Energy or
any other operator of the underlying properties to compel them to fulfill the terms of the conveyance of the net profits interests. If the Trustee does not take appropriate action to enforce provisions of the conveyance, the recourse of the Trust
unitholders would likely be limited to bringing a lawsuit against the Trustee to compel the Trustee to take specified actions. Trust unitholders probably would not be able to sue XTO Energy or any other operator of the underlying properties. Financial information of the Trust is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other
than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Although this basis of accounting is permitted for royalty trusts by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements of the Trust differ from U.S. GAAP financial
statements 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 U.S. GAAP financial statements. The limited liability of Trust unitholders is uncertain. The Trust unitholders are not protected from the liabilities of the Trust to the same extent that a shareholder would be protected from a
corporations liabilities. The structure of the Trust does not include the interposition of a limited liability entity such as a corporation or limited partnership which would provide further limited liability protection to Trust unitholders.
While the Trustee is liable for any excess liabilities incurred if the Trustee fails to ensure that such liabilities are to be satisfied only out of Trust assets, under the laws of Texas, which are unsettled on this point, a unitholder may be
jointly and severally liable for any liability of the Trust if the satisfaction of such liability was not contractually limited to the assets of the Trust and the assets of the Trust and the Trustee are not adequate to satisfy such liability. As a
result, Trust unitholders may be exposed to personal liability. The Trust, however, is not liable for production costs or other liabilities of the underlying properties.  7

Drilling oil and natural gas wells is a high-risk activity and subjects the Trust to a variety of
factors that it cannot control. Drilling oil and natural gas wells involves numerous risks, including the risk that commercially
productive oil and natural gas reservoirs are not encountered. The presence of unanticipated pressures or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause drilling activities to be unsuccessful. In addition, there is often
uncertainty as to the future cost or timing of drilling, completing and operating wells. Further, development activities may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including:  1.
reduced oil or natural gas prices; 2.
unexpected drilling conditions; 3.
title problems; 4.
restricted access to land for drilling or laying pipeline; 5.
pressure or irregularities in formations; 6.
equipment failures or accidents; 7.
adverse weather conditions or natural disasters; and 8.
costs of, or shortages or delays in the availability of, drilling rigs, tubular materials and equipment. While these risks do not expose the Trust to liabilities of the drilling contractor or operator of the well, they can
reduce net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions by decreasing oil and gas revenues or increasing production expense or development costs from the underlying properties. Furthermore, these risks may cause the costs of development
activities on properties underlying the 75% net profits interests to exceed the revenues therefrom, thereby reducing net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions. The underlying properties are subject to complex federal, state and local laws and regulations that could adversely affect net proceeds payable to the
Trust and Trust distributions. Extensive federal, state and local regulation of the oil and natural gas industry significantly
affects operations on the underlying properties. In particular, oil and natural gas development and production are subject to stringent environmental regulations. These regulations have increased the costs of planning, designing, drilling,
installing, operating and abandoning oil and natural gas wells and other related facilities, which costs could reduce net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions. These regulations may become more demanding in the future. See
Regulation in Item 2, Properties, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change Regulations in Item 7, Trustees Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Cash held by the Trustee is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Currently, cash held by the Trust reserved for the payment of accrued liabilities and estimated future expenses and distributions to
unitholders is typically held in a treasury fund that under normal market conditions invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations. Although the funds underlying investments are obligations of the U.S. government, the fund itself is not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In the event that the fund becomes insolvent, the Trustee may be unable to recover any or all such cash from the insolvent fund. Any loss of such cash may have a material adverse effect on the
Trusts cash balances and any distributions to unitholders. The tax treatment of an investment in Trust units could be affected by recent and
potential legislative changes, possibly on a retroactive basis. U.S. federal tax reform legislation informally known as the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA) was enacted December 22, 2017, and makes significant changes to the federal income tax rules applicable to both individuals and entities, including changes to the effective tax rate on a Trust
unitholders allocable share of certain income from the Trust. The TCJA is complex and lacks administrative guidance, thus, Trust unitholders should consult their tax advisor regarding the TCJA and its effect on an investment in Trust units.  8

##### Table of Contents

For taxable years beginning after 2017, the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rates
applicable to ordinary income and long-term capital gains of individuals are 37% and 20%, respectively. Any modification to the U.S. federal income tax laws or interpretations thereof (including administrative guidance relating to the TCJA) may be
applied retroactively and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The Trust is unable to predict whether any changes or other proposals will ultimately be enacted, or whether any adverse interpretations
will be used. Any such changes or interpretations could negatively impact the value of an investment in the Trust units.  Item 1B.
Unresolved Staff Comments As of December 31, 2018, the Trust did not have any unresolved Securities and Exchange Commission staff comments.  Item 2.
Properties The net profits interests are the principal asset of the Trust. The Trustee cannot acquire any other asset, with the exception of certain
short-term investments as specified under Item 1, Business. The Trustee is prohibited from selling any portion of the net profits interests unless approved by holders of at least 80% or more of the outstanding Trust units or at such time as Trust
gross revenue is less than $1 million for two successive years. The net profits interests comprise:  1.
the 90% net profits interests which are carved from:  a)
producing royalty and overriding royalty interest properties in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico; and  b)
11.11% nonparticipating royalty interests in nonproducing properties located primarily in Texas and Oklahoma;
and  2.
the 75% net profits interests which are carved from working interests in four properties in Texas and three
properties in Oklahoma. All underlying royalties, underlying nonproducing royalties and underlying working interest
properties are currently owned by XTO Energy or other affiliated companies of ExxonMobil. XTO Energy may sell all or any portion of the underlying properties at any time, subject to and burdened by the net profits interests. The underlying properties include over 2,900 producing properties with established production histories in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. The
average reserve-to-production index for the underlying properties as of December 31, 2018 is approximately 11 years. This index is calculated using total proved
reserves and estimated 2019 production for the underlying properties. The projected 2019 production is from proved developed producing reserves as of December 31, 2018. Based on estimated future net cash flows at
12-month average oil and gas prices, based on the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period, the future net cash flows from
proved reserves of the underlying properties are approximately 59% oil and 41% natural gas. The underlying properties also include certain nonproducing properties in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico that are primarily mineral interests. Producing Acreage, Wells and Drilling 90% Net Profits Interests Underlying Royalties.    Royalty and overriding royalty properties underlying the 90% net
profits interests represent 80% of the discounted future net cash flows from Trust proved reserves at December 31, 2018. Approximately 52% of the discounted future net cash flows from the 90% net profits interests are from gas reserves,
totaling 19.0 Bcf. Oil reserves allocated to the 90% net profits interests are primarily located in West Texas and are estimated to be 1,059,000 Bbls at December 31, 2018. The underlying royalties are royalty and overriding royalty interests primarily located in mature producing oil and gas fields. The most
significant producing region in which the underlying royalties are located is the San Juan Basin in  9

northwestern New Mexico. The San Juan Basin royalties gas production accounted for approximately 73% of the Trusts gas sales volumes and 33% of the net profits income for 2018. The
Trusts estimated proved gas reserves from this region totaled 14.1 Bcf at December 31, 2018, or approximately 82% of Trust total gas reserves at that date. XTO Energy estimates that underlying royalties in the San Juan Basin include more
than 4,891 gross (approximately 57.2 net) wells, covering almost 60,000 gross acres. The majority of these wells are operated by BP America Production Company or Hilcorp. San Juan Basin oil and gas accumulations, inclusive of the Fruitland Coal, Pictured Cliffs, Mancos, Mesaverde, and Dakota formations, have
produced within the basin for over 90 years. Although these reservoirs have seen almost a century of development, numerous upside opportunities are still available to basin operators via down-spacing drilling, recompletions, lateral drilling, and
lease cost optimizations. Recently, operators have moved development toward the more liquid-rich portions of the basin through the following:  1.
reduced dry gas drilling with a shift toward horizontal drilling in the more liquids-rich areas; 2.
lease optimization via compression upgrades, restimulations, and improved artificial lift; 3.
basinal work to rail crude oil out of basin to improve pricing; and 4.
stable gas pipeline infrastructure. The underlying royalties also include royalties in the Sand Hills field of Crane County, Texas. Most of these properties are operated by major
operators. The Sand Hills field was discovered in 1931 and includes production from three main intervals, the Tubb, McKnight and Judkins. Development potential for the field includes recompletions and additional infill drilling. The underlying royalties contain approximately 277,567 gross (approximately 34,198 net) producing acres. Well counts for the underlying
royalties cannot be provided because information regarding the number of wells on royalty properties is generally not made available to royalty interest owners. Because the properties related to the 90% net profits interests are primarily royalty interests and overriding royalty interests, the net
profits income from these properties is not reduced by production or development costs, with the exception of a limited number of wells that were converted to working interest after conveyance that incur production and development costs.
Additionally, net profits income from these interests cannot be reduced by any excess costs of the 75% net profits interests. The Trust, therefore, should generally receive monthly net profits income from these interests, as determined by oil and
gas sales volumes and prices. 75% Net Profits Interests Underlying Working Interest Properties.Underlying
the 75% net profits interests are working interests in seven large, predominantly oil-producing properties in Texas and Oklahoma operated primarily by established oil companies. These properties are located in
mature fields undergoing secondary or tertiary recovery operations. Most of the oil produced from the 75% net profits interest properties is sour oil, which is sold at a discount to NYMEX sweet crude oil prices. XTO Energy is the operator of the
Hewitt Unit, which is one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. With the exception of the Hewitt Unit, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil generally have little influence or control over operations on any of these properties. Proved reserves from the 75% net profits interests are almost entirely oil, estimated to be approximately 414,000 Bbls at year-end 2018. Proved reserves from these interests represent 20% of the discounted future net cash flows of the Trusts proved reserves at December 31, 2018.  10

% The underlying working interest properties consist of 3,814 gross (2,995 net) producing acres. As of
December 31, 2018, there were 1,414 gross (72.2 net) productive oil wells. There were seven wells drilled in 2018 with completions planned during the first and second quarters of 2019, no wells drilled in 2017, and no wells drilled in 2016. XTO
Energy has advised the Trustee that it plans to drill eight vertical wells in the Hewitt Unit during 2019. Because these underlying
properties are working interests, production expense and development costs are deducted in calculating net profits income from the 75% net profits interests. As a result, net profits income from these interests is affected by the level of
maintenance and development activity on these underlying properties. Net profits income is also dependent upon oil and gas sales volumes and prices and is subject to reduction for any prior period excess costs. Total 2018 development costs were $1,227,217, up 3% from 2017 development costs of $1,196,892. Development costs were higher in 2018 because
of increased development activity and costs related to drilling seven wells in the Hewitt Unit, partially offset by decreased development costs related to non-operated Texas oil properties underlying the 75%
net profits interests. As reported to XTO Energy by unit operators in February of each year, budgeted development costs were
$1.9 million for 2018 and $1.2 million for 2017. Actual development costs often differ from amounts budgeted because of changes in product prices and other factors that may affect the timing or selection of projects. Also, costs are
deducted in the calculation of Trust net profits income several months after they are incurred by the operator. Unit operators have reported total budgeted costs, net to the underlying properties, of approximately $1.7 million for 2019 and
$2.1 million for 2020. Changes in oil or natural gas prices could impact future development plans on the underlying properties. If
monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net profits income from other conveyances. Remaining cumulative excess costs
for the Texas and Oklahoma working interest conveyances totaled $1,803,572 ($1,352,679 net to the Trust), including accrued interest of $0.2 million for the period ended December 31, 2018. For information regarding the effect of excess
costs on Trust net profits income, see Note 7 to Financial Statements under Item 8, including the excess cost balance and accrued interest by conveyance, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  11

Since the Trust has defined net profits interests, the Trust does not own a specific percentage of the oil and
gas reserves. Oil and gas reserves are allocated to the net profits interests by dividing Trust net cash inflows by 12-month average oil and gas prices. As such, reserves allocated to the Trust have been

17,141 The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex and requires significant judgment as discussed in
Item 1A, Risk Factors, and is performed by XTO Energy. As a result, XTO Energy has developed internal policies and controls for estimating and recording reserves. XTO Energys policies regarding booking reserves require proved reserves to
be in compliance with the SEC definitions and guidance. XTO Energys policies assign responsibilities for compliance in reserves bookings to its reserve engineering group and require that reserve estimates be made by qualified reserves
estimators, as defined by the Society of Petroleum Engineers standards. All qualified reserves estimators are required to receive education covering the fundamentals of SEC proved reserves assignments.  12

##### Table of Contents

The XTO Energy reserve engineering group reviews reserve estimates with third-party
petroleum consultants, Miller and Lents, Ltd., independent petroleum engineers. Miller and Lents, Ltd. estimated oil and gas reserves attributable to the underlying properties as of December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Miller and Lents
primary technical person responsible for calculating the Trusts reserves has more than ten years of experience as a reserve engineer. The estimated reserves for the underlying properties are then used by XTO Energy to calculate the estimated
oil and gas reserves attributable to the net profits interests. Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating reserve volumes and values, and 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 estimates. Reserve quantities
and revenues for the net profits interests were estimated from projections of reserves and revenues attributable to the underlying properties. Since the Trust has defined net profits interests, the Trust does not own a specific percentage of the oil
and gas reserves. Oil and gas reserves are allocated to the net profits interests by dividing Trust net cash inflows by 12-month average oil and gas prices. Oil and Natural Gas Production Trust
production is recognized in the period net profits income is received, which is the month following receipt by XTO Energy, and generally two months after the time of oil production and three months after gas production. Oil and gas sales volumes are
allocated to the net profits interests based upon a formula that considers oil and gas prices and the total amount of production expense and development costs. As such, the underlying property production volume changes may not correlate with the
Trusts net profit share of those volumes in any given period. Oil and gas production and average sales prices attributable to the
underlying properties and the net profits interests for each of the two years ended December 31 were as follows:  90% Net Profits Interests

212,742 Nonproducing Acreage The underlying nonproducing royalties contain approximately 219,000 gross (approximately 21,000 net) acres in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico
which were nonproducing at the date of the Trusts creation. The Trust is entitled to 10% of oil and gas production attributable to the underlying mineral interests, but is not entitled to delay rental payments or lease bonuses. There has been
no significant development of such nonproducing acreage since the Trusts creation. Pricing and Sales Information Oil and gas are generally sold from the underlying properties at market-sensitive prices. The majority of sales from the underlying working
interest properties are to major oil and gas companies. Information about purchasers of oil and gas from royalty properties is generally not provided by operators to XTO Energy as a royalty owner, or to the Trust. Regulation Natural Gas Regulation The interstate transportation and sale for resale of natural gas is subject to federal regulation, including transportation and
storage rates charged, tariffs, and various other matters, by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Federal price controls on wellhead sales of domestic natural gas terminated on January 1, 1993. While natural gas prices are currently
unregulated, Congress historically has been active in the area of natural gas regulation. On August 8, 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Energy Policy Act, among other things, amended the Natural Gas Act to prohibit
market manipulation by any entity, to direct FERC to facilitate market transparency in the market for sale or transportation of physical natural gas in interstate commerce, and to significantly increase the penalties for violations of the Natural
Gas Act, the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, or FERC rules, regulations or orders thereunder. FERC has promulgated regulations to implement the Energy Policy Act, including enforcement rules and new annual reporting requirements for certain sellers
of natural gas. It is impossible  14

##### Table of Contents

to predict whether new legislation to regulate natural gas might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures, and what effect, if
any, such proposals might have on the operations of the underlying properties. Federal Regulation of Oil Sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids are not currently regulated and are made at market prices. The net price received from
the sale of these products is affected by market transportation costs. Under rules adopted by FERC effective January 1995, interstate oil pipelines can change rates based on an inflation index, though other rate mechanisms may be used in specific
circumstances. On December 19, 2007, the President signed into law the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 (PL 110-140). The EISA, among other things, prohibits market manipulation by any person in connection with the purchase or sale of crude oil, gasoline or petroleum distillates at wholesale in contravention of such rules
and regulations that the Federal Trade Commission may prescribe, directs the Federal Trade Commission to enforce the regulations, and establishes penalties for violations thereunder. XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that it cannot predict the
impact of future government regulation on any crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids facilities, sales or transportation transactions. Environmental Regulation Companies that are engaged in the oil and gas industry are affected by federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment. Those laws may impact operations of the underlying properties. No material expenses have been incurred on the underlying properties in complying with environmental laws and regulations. XTO Energy does not expect that future
compliance will have a material adverse effect on the Trust. There is an increased focus by local, national and international regulatory
bodies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change. Several states have adopted climate change legislation and regulations, and various other regulatory bodies have announced their intent to regulate GHG emissions or adopt climate change
regulations. As these regulations are under development, XTO Energy is unable to predict the total impact of the potential regulations upon the operators of the underlying properties, and it is possible that operators of the underlying properties
could face increases in operating costs in order to comply with climate change or GHG emissions legislation, which costs could reduce net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions. State Regulation The
various states regulate the production and sale of oil and natural gas, including imposing requirements for obtaining drilling permits, the method of developing new fields, the spacing and operation of wells and the prevention of waste of oil and
gas resources. The rates of production may be regulated and the maximum daily production allowables from both oil and gas wells may be established on a market demand or conservation basis, or both. Federal Income Taxes For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust that is taxed as a grantor trust. A grantor trust is not subject to tax at the trust level. The unitholders are considered to own the Trusts income and principal as
though no trust were in existence. The income of the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each unitholder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust and not when distributed by the Trust. Impairment for book purposes
will not result in a loss for tax purposes for the unitholders until the loss is recognized. Because the Trust is a grantor trust for
federal tax purposes, each unitholder is taxed directly on his proportionate share of income, deductions and credits of the Trust consistent with each such unitholders taxable year and method of accounting and without regard to the taxable
year or method of accounting employed by the Trust. The  15




---

##### Table of Contents

income of the Trust consists primarily of a specified share of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas produced from the underlying properties. During 2018, the Trust incurred
administration expenses and earned interest income on funds held for distribution and for the cash reserve maintained for the payment of contingent and future obligations of the Trust. The Trust generally allocates its items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of the units each month based
upon the ownership of the Trust units on the monthly record date, instead of on the basis of the date a particular unit is transferred. It is possible that 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 unitholders affected by the issue and result in an increase in the administrative expense of the Trust
in subsequent periods. The net profits interests constitute economic interests in oil and gas properties for federal tax
purposes. Each unitholder is entitled to amortize the cost of the units through cost depletion over the life of the net profits interests or, if greater, through percentage depletion equal to 15 percent of gross income, limited to 100% of the
net income from such net profits interests. Unlike cost depletion, percentage depletion is not limited to a unitholders depletable tax basis in the units. Rather, a unitholder is entitled to a percentage depletion deduction as long as the
applicable underlying properties generate gross income. Unitholders should compute both percentage depletion and cost depletion from each property and claim the larger amount as a deduction on their income tax returns. Unitholders must maintain records of their adjusted basis in their Trust units (generally his or her cost less prior depletion deductions),
make adjustments for depletion deductions to such basis, and use the adjusted basis for the computation of gain or loss on the disposition of the Trust units. If a taxpayer disposes of any Section 1254 property (certain oil, gas, geothermal or other mineral property), and the
adjusted basis of such property includes adjustments for depletion deductions under Section 611 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), the taxpayer generally must recapture the amount deducted for depletion as ordinary income (to
the extent of gain realized on such disposition). This depletion recapture rule applies to any disposition of property that was placed in service by the taxpayer after December 31, 1986. Detailed rules set forth in Sections 1.1254-1 through 1.1254-6 of the U.S. Treasury Regulations govern dispositions of property after March 13, 1995. The Internal Revenue Service likely will take the
position that a unitholder must recapture depletion upon the disposition of a unit. Interest and net profits income attributable to
ownership of units and any gain on the sale thereof are considered portfolio income, and not income from a passive activity, to the extent a unitholder acquires and holds units as an investment and not in the ordinary course of a trade
or business. Therefore, interest and net profits income attributable to ownership of units generally may not be offset by losses from any passive activities. Under the recently enacted 2017 TCJA, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, 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) and qualified dividends of individuals is 20%. Under the TCJA, for such tax years, personal exemptions and miscellaneous itemized deductions are not allowed. For such tax years, the U.S. federal income tax rate
applicable to corporations is 21%, and such rate applies to both ordinary income and capital gains. Individuals may also incur expenses
in connection with the acquisition or maintenance of Trust units. For tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, these expenses, which are different from a unitholders share of the Trusts administrative expenses discussed above,
may be deductible as miscellaneous itemized deductions only to the extent that such expenses exceed 2 percent of the individuals adjusted gross income. Under the TCJA, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and
before January 1, 2026, miscellaneous itemized deductions are not allowed.  16




---

##### Table of Contents

For tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, the highest marginal U.S. federal
income tax rate applicable to ordinary income of individuals is 39.6%, and the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualified dividends of individuals is 20%. For such
pre-2018 tax years, such marginal tax rates may be effectively increased by up to 1.2% due to the phase-out of personal exemptions and the limitations on itemized
deductions. For such pre-2018 tax years, the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to corporations is 35%, and such rate applies to both ordinary income and capital gains. Section 1411 of the Code imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on certain investment income earned by individuals, estates, and trusts. For these
purposes, investment income generally will include a unitholders allocable share of the Trusts interest and royalty income 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 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. The difference between the per-unit taxable
income for any period and the per-unit cash distributions, if any, reported for such period is attributable to (i) items that reduce cash distributions but are not currently deductible, such as an
increase in the cash reserve maintained by the Trust for the payment of future expenditures; (ii) the current deduction of expenses that are paid with amounts previously reserved; (iii) items that increase cash distributions but do not
constitute taxable income, such as a decrease in the cash reserve maintained by the Trust and/or a return of capital; and (iv) items that constitute taxable income due to the recovery of prior period expense adjustments. Because of these types
of items and when the Trustee elects to reserve amounts from monthly distributions to maintain an administrative expense reserve, the taxable income per period frequently differs from the actual amount distributed to unitholders. Pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (commonly referred to as FATCA), distributions from the Trust to foreign
financial institutions and certain other non-financial foreign entities may be subject to U.S. withholding taxes. Specifically, certain withholdable payments (including certain
royalties, interest and other gains or income from U.S. sources) made to a foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity will generally be subject to the withholding tax unless the foreign
financial institution or non-financial foreign entity complies with certain information reporting, withholding, identification, certification and related requirements imposed by FATCA. Foreign financial
institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. The Treasury Department issued guidance providing that the FATCA withholding rules described above generally apply to qualifying payments made
after June 30, 2014. Foreign unitholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these withholding provisions on their investment in Trust units. Some Trust units are held by middlemen, as such term is broadly defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations (and includes custodians, nominees,
certain joint owners, and brokers holding an interest for a customer in street name, 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, 2911 Turtle Creek Blvd, Suite 850, Dallas, Texas, 75219, telephone number 1-855-588-7839, email address Trustee@crt-crosstimbers.com, is the representative of the Trust
that will provide tax information in accordance with applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT. Tax information is also posted by the Trustee at
www.crt-crosstimbers.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the middlemen holding Trust units on behalf of unitholders, and not the Trustee of the Trust, are solely responsible for complying with the
information reporting requirements under the U.S. Treasury Regulations with respect to such Trust units, including the issuance of IRS Forms 1099 and certain written tax statements. 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.  17

Unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding Trust tax compliance matters. State Taxes All revenues
from the Trust are from sources within Texas, Oklahoma or New Mexico. Because it distributes all of its net income to unitholders, the Trust has not been taxed at the trust level in New Mexico or Oklahoma. While the Trust has not owed tax, the
Trustee is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return reflecting the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to properties located in that state, along with a schedule that includes information regarding distributions to unitholders.
Oklahoma and New Mexico tax the income of nonresidents from real property located within those states, and the Trust has been advised by counsel that such states will tax nonresidents on income from the net profits interests located in those states.
Oklahoma and New Mexico also impose a corporate income tax that may apply to unitholders organized as corporations (subject to certain exceptions for S corporations and limited liability companies, depending on their treatment for federal tax
purposes). Texas imposes a franchise tax at a rate of .75% on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the
Texas franchise tax statutes. Entities subject to tax generally include trusts and most other types of entities that provide limited liability protection, unless otherwise exempt. Trusts that receive at least 90% of their federal gross income from
certain passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other non-operated mineral interest income, and do not receive more than 10% of their income from operating an active trade or business,
generally are exempt from the Texas franchise tax as passive entities. The Trust has been and expects to continue to be exempt from Texas franchise tax as a passive entity. Because the Trust should be exempt from Texas franchise tax at
the trust level as a passive entity, each unitholder that is a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax will generally be required to include its Texas portion of trust revenues in its own Texas franchise tax computation. This revenue is sourced
to Texas under provisions of the Texas Administrative Code providing that such income is sourced according to the principal place of business of the Trust, which is Texas. Each unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding state income tax requirements, if any, applicable to such persons
ownership of Trust units. State Tax Withholding Several states have enacted legislation requiring state income tax withholding from payments to nonresident recipients of oil and gas proceeds.
After consultation with its tax counsel, the Trustee believes that it is not required to withhold on payments made to the unitholders. However, regulations are subject to change by the various states, which could change this conclusion. Should
amounts be withheld on payments made to the Trust or the unitholders, distributions to the unitholders would be reduced by the required amount, subject to the filing of a claim for refund by the Trust or unitholders for such amount. Other Regulation The
petroleum industry is also subject to compliance with various other federal, state and local regulations and laws, including, but not limited to, regulations and laws relating to environmental protection, occupational safety, resource conservation
and equal employment opportunity. XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that it does not believe that compliance with these laws will have any material adverse effect upon the unitholders.  Item 3.
Legal Proceedings Certain of the underlying properties are involved in various lawsuits and certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that it does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material effect on Trust annual distributable income, financial position or liquidity.  Item 4.
Mine Safety Disclosures Not Applicable.  18

Because of the interval between time of production and receipt of net profits income by the Trust, oil and gas
sales for the year ended December 31 generally relate to oil production from November through October and gas production from October through September, while oil and gas sales for the quarter ended December 31 generally relate to oil
production from August through October and gas production from July through September.  (b)
Oil and gas sales volumes are allocated to the net profits interests by dividing Trust net cash inflows by
average sales prices. As oil and gas prices change, the Trusts allocated production volumes are impacted as the quantity of production necessary to cover expenses changes inversely with price. As such, the underlying property production volume
changes may not correlate with the Trusts allocated production volumes in any given period. Therefore, comparative discussion of oil and gas sales volumes is based on the underlying properties.  (c)
Production expense includes an overhead charge which is deducted and retained by the operator. XTO Energy
deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. See Note 5 to Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  (d)
See Note 7 to Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  20

##### Table of Contents

Results of Operations Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 Net profits income for 2018 was $9,133,959 as compared with $6,621,337 for 2017. The 38% increase in net profits income from 2017 to 2018 was
primarily because of higher oil and gas prices ($2.7 million) and decreased production expenses ($0.2 million), partially offset by decreased gas production ($0.3 million) and increased taxes, transportation and other costs ($0.1 million). During
2018 and 2017, 46% and 62%, respectively, of net profits income was derived from gas sales. Trust administration expense was $595,606 in
2018 as compared to $575,144 in 2017. Cash reserve activity was $0 in 2018 as compared to $0 in 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the reserve is funded at $1,000,000. Interest income was $20,173 in 2018 and $7,597 in 2017. Other changes in
interest income are attributable to fluctuations in net profits income and interest rates. Net profits income is recorded when received
by the Trust, which is the month following receipt by XTO Energy, and generally two months after oil production and three months after gas production. Net profits income is generally affected by three major factors:  1.
oil and gas sales volumes; 2.
oil and gas sales prices; and 3.
costs deducted in the calculation of net profits income. Volumes Oil.    Underlying oil sales volumes were relatively flat from 2017 to 2018 primarily because of natural production
decline, partially offset by timing of cash receipts. Gas.    Underlying gas sales volumes decreased 4% from
2017 to 2018 primarily because of natural production decline, partially offset by timing of cash receipts. The estimated rate of natural
production decline on the underlying oil and gas properties is approximately 6% to 8% a year. Prices Oil.    The average oil price for 2018 was $59.33 per Bbl, a 31% increase from the 2017 average oil price of $45.18
per Bbl. Oil prices are expected to remain volatile. The average NYMEX price for November 2018 through January 2019 was $52.44 per Bbl. At March 1, 2019, the average NYMEX oil price for the following 12 months was $57.30 per Bbl. Gas.    The 2018 average gas price was $4.40 per Mcf, a 6% increase from the 2017 average gas price of $4.15 per
Mcf. Natural gas prices are affected by natural gas liquids prices, the level of North American production, weather, crude oil prices, the U.S. economy, storage levels and import levels of liquefied natural gas. Natural gas prices are expected to
remain volatile. The average NYMEX price for fourth quarter 2018 was $2.90 per MMBtu. At March 1, 2019, the average NYMEX gas price for the following 12 months was $2.99 per MMBtu. Costs Because properties
underlying the 90% net profits interests are primarily royalty and overriding royalty interests, the calculation of net profits income from these interests includes deductions for production and property taxes, legal costs, and marketing and
transportation charges. In addition to these costs, the calculation of net profits income from the 75% net profits interests includes deductions for production expense and development costs since the related underlying properties are working
interests. Net profits income is calculated monthly for each of the five conveyances  21

##### Table of Contents

under which the net profits interests were conveyed to the Trust. If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net
proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net profits income from other conveyances. Costs have never exceeded revenues from the 90% net profits interests, nor are they expected to in the future. For further information on excess costs, see Note
7 to Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Total costs deducted in the calculation of net
profits income were $8.5 million in 2018 and $8.6 million in 2017. The 1% decrease in costs from 2017 to 2018 is attributable to decreased production expense and excess costs on the Texas and Oklahoma working interest properties underlying
the 75% net profits interests, partially offset by higher taxes, transportation and other costs and increased development costs. Unit
operators of the properties underlying the 75% net profits interests have reported total budgeted development costs, net to the underlying properties, of approximately $1.7 million for 2019 and $2.1 million for 2020, as compared to
budgeted development costs of $1.9 million and actual development costs of $1.2 million for 2018. Actual development costs often differ from amounts budgeted because of changes in product prices and other factors that may affect the timing
or selection of projects. Changes in oil or natural gas prices could impact future development plans on the underlying properties. Fourth Quarter 2018
and 2017 During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Trust received net profits income totaling $2,265,711, compared with
fourth quarter 2017 net profits income of $1,689,363. This 34% increase is primarily attributable to higher oil and gas prices ($0.9 million), lower production expenses ($0.1 million) and excess costs on the Texas and Oklahoma working interest
properties ($0.1 million), partially offset by increased development costs ($0.3 million) and decreased oil and gas production ($0.2 million). Administration expense was $57,653 and Trust interest income was $6,254, resulting in fourth quarter 2018 distributable income of $2,214,312,
or $0.369052 per unit. Distributable income for fourth quarter 2017 was $1,622,388, or $0.270398 per unit. Distributions to unitholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were:  Record Date

2018 oil price was $61.46 per Bbl, 39% higher than the fourth quarter 2017 average price of $44.11 per Bbl. The average fourth quarter 2018 gas price was $4.42 per Mcf, 7% higher than the fourth quarter 2017 average price of $4.12 per Mcf. For

##### Table of Contents

Costs Costs deducted in the calculation of fourth quarter 2018 net profits income increased $119,963, or 6%, from fourth quarter 2017. This increase
was primarily attributable to increased development costs and taxes, transportation and other costs, partially offset by decreased production expenses and excess costs on the Texas and Oklahoma working interest properties. For further information
about development and excess costs, see Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017  Costs above. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Trusts only cash requirement is the monthly distribution of its income to unitholders, which is funded by the monthly
receipt of net profits income after payment of Trust administration expenses. The Trust is not liable for any production costs or liabilities attributable to the underlying properties. If at any time the Trust receives net profits income in excess
of the amount due, the Trust is not obligated to return such overpayment, but future net profits income payable to the Trust will be reduced by the overpayment, plus interest at the prime rate. The Trust may borrow funds required to pay Trust
liabilities if fully repaid prior to further distributions to unitholders. The Trust does not have any transactions, arrangements or
other relationships with unconsolidated entities or persons that could materially affect the Trusts liquidity or the availability of capital resources. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change Regulations There is an increased focus by local, national and international regulatory bodies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change.
Several states have adopted climate change legislation and regulations, and various other regulatory bodies have announced their intent to regulate GHG emissions or adopt climate change regulations. The climate accord reached at the Conference of
the Parties (COP21) in Paris set many new goals, and while many related policies are still emerging, XTO Energy has informed the Trustee that it continues to anticipate that such policies will increase the cost of carbon dioxide emissions over time.
As these regulations are under development, XTO Energy is unable to predict the total impact of the potential regulations upon the operators of the underlying properties, and it is possible that the operators of the underlying properties could face
increases in operating costs in order to comply with climate change or GHG emissions legislation, which costs could reduce net proceeds payable to the Trust and Trust distributions. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Trust has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements. The Trust has not guaranteed the debt of any
other party, nor does the Trust have any other arrangements or relationships with other entities that could potentially result in unconsolidated debt, losses or contingent obligations. Contractual Obligations Not required for
smaller reporting companies; the Trust has elected to omit this information. Related Party Transactions The underlying properties from which the net profits interests were carved are currently owned by XTO Energy or other affiliated companies of
ExxonMobil. Approximately 34 of the underlying royalty interests burden working interests in properties operated by XTO Energy. XTO
Energy operates the Hewitt Unit which is one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. Other than these properties, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil do not operate or control any of the underlying properties or related working
interests.  23

##### Table of Contents

In computing net proceeds for the 75% net profits interests, XTO Energy deducts an overhead
charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. This monthly overhead charge at December 31, 2018 was $39,834 ($29,876 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. XTO Energy deducts a monthly overhead charge for reimbursement of administrative expenses as operator of the Hewitt Unit, which is one of
the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. As of December 31, 2018, this monthly charge was approximately $28,000 ($21,000 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. On June 25, 2010, XTO Energy became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Critical Accounting Policies The
financial statements of the Trust are significantly affected by its basis of accounting and estimates related to its oil and gas properties and proved reserves, as summarized below. Basis of Accounting The
Trusts financial statements are prepared on a modified cash basis, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This method of accounting is consistent with reporting of taxable income
to Trust unitholders. The most significant differences between the Trusts financial statements and those prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are:  1.
net profits income is recognized in the month received rather than accrued in the month of production;  2.
expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred; and  3.
cash reserves may be established by the Trustee for certain contingencies that would not be recorded under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts. For further information
regarding the Trusts basis of accounting, see Note 2 to Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. All amounts included in the Trusts financial statements are based on cash amounts received or disbursed, or on the carrying value of the
net profits interests, which was derived from the historical cost of the interests at the date of their transfer from XTO Energy, less accumulated amortization to date. Accordingly, there are no fair value estimates included in the financial
statements based on either exchange or non-exchange trade values. Impairment The Trustee reviews the Trusts net profits interests (NPI) in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the NPI may not be recoverable. In general, the Trustee does not view temporarily low
prices as an indication of impairment. The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a history of significant price volatility and though prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by
market supply and demand. If events and circumstances indicated that the carrying value may not be recoverable, the Trustee would use the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI to evaluate the recoverability of the Trust assets.
If the undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI are less than the NPI carrying value, the Trust would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the NPI carrying value and the estimated fair value of the NPI.  24




---

##### Table of Contents

The determination as to whether the NPI is impaired requires a significant amount of
judgment by the Trustee and is based on the best information available to the Trustee at the time of the evaluation. There was no impairment of the assets as of December 31, 2018. Oil and Gas Reserves The
proved oil and gas reserves for the underlying properties are estimated by independent petroleum engineers. The estimated reserves for the underlying properties are then used by XTO Energy to calculate the estimated oil and gas reserves attributable
to the net profits interests. 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 12-month average prices, based on the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period, estimated reserve quantities
can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices. Accordingly, oil and gas quantities ultimately recovered and the timing of production may be substantially different from original estimates. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes in such cash flows, as reported in Note 8 to Financial Statements
under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, is prepared using assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such assumptions include using 12-month average oil and gas prices, based on the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period, and year end costs for
estimated future development and production expenditures, including recovery of cumulative excess costs remaining at year end. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using a 10% rate. Changes in any of these assumptions, including
consideration of other factors, could have a significant impact on the standardized measure. Accordingly, the standardized measure does not represent XTO Energys or the Trustees estimated current market value of proved reserves. Forward-Looking Statements Certain
information included in this annual report and other materials filed, or to be filed, by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by XTO
Energy or the Trustee) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Trust, operations of
the underlying properties and the oil and gas industry. Such forward-looking statements may concern, among other things, development activities, future development plans, increased density drilling, reserve-to-production ratios, future production, future net cash flows, maintenance projects, development, production and other costs, oil and gas prices, pricing differentials, proved reserves, production
levels, arbitration, litigation, political and regulatory matters, such as tax and environmental policy, and competition. Such forward-looking statements are based on XTO Energys and the Trustees current plans, expectations, assumptions,
projections and estimates and are identified by words such as expects, intends, plans, projects, anticipates, predicts, believes, goals,
estimates, should, could, would, and similar words that convey the uncertainty of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual financial and operational results may differ materially from expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in, implied in, or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the
risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are explained in Item 1A, Risk Factors.  Item 7A.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Unitholders of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust and Simmons
Bank, as Trustee Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the Trust) as
of December 31, 2018 and 2017,and the related statements of distributable income and of changes in trust corpus for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).We also have audited the Trusts internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Trust as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,and its distributable income and its changes in trust corpus for the years then ended in conformity with the modified cash basis
of accounting described in Note 2. Also in our opinion, the Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. Basis for Opinions The Trustee is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the Trustees Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the
Trustsfinancial statements and on the Trusts internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Trustee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Basis of Accounting As described
in Note 2, these financial statements were prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  27

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A trusts internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A trusts internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the trust; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the trust are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Trustee; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the trusts assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Trust Organization and Provisions Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the Trust) was created on February 12, 1991 by predecessors of XTO Energy Inc., when the
following net profits interests were conveyed under five separate conveyances to the Trust effective October 1, 1990, in exchange for 6,000,000 units of beneficial interest in the Trust:  1.
90% net profits interests in certain producing and nonproducing royalty and overriding royalty interest
properties in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico; and  2.
75% net profits interests in certain working interest properties in Texas and Oklahoma. The underlying properties from which the net profits interests were carved are currently owned by XTO Energy or other affiliated companies of
ExxonMobil (Note 5). The Trusts initial public offering was in February 1992. Simmons Bank is the Trustee of the Trust. The Trust
indenture provides, among other provisions, that:  1.
the Trust may not engage in any business activity or acquire any assets other than the net profits interests
and specific short-term cash investments;  2.
the Trust may not dispose of all or part of the net profits interests unless approved by holders of 80% or more
of the outstanding Trust units, or upon Trust termination, and any sale must be for cash with the proceeds promptly distributed to the unitholders on the next declared distribution;  3.
the Trustee may establish a cash reserve for payment of any liability that is contingent or not currently
payable;  4.
the Trustee may borrow funds required to pay Trust liabilities if fully repaid prior to further distributions
to unitholders;  5.
the Trustee will make monthly cash distributions to unitholders (Note 3); and  6.
the Trust will terminate upon the first occurrence of:  a)
disposition of all net profits interests pursuant to terms of the Trust indenture;  b)
gross revenue of the Trust is less than $1 million per year for two successive years; or  c)
a vote of holders of 80% or more of the outstanding Trust units to terminate the Trust in accordance with
provisions of the Trust indenture. 2. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to present financial position and results of
operations in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles:  1.
net profits income is recorded in the month received by the Trustee (Note 3);  2.
interest income, interest to be received and distribution payable to unitholders include interest to be earned
on net profits income from the monthly record date (last business day of the month) through the date of the next distribution;  3.
trust expenses are recorded based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established by the Trustee for
liabilities and contingencies; and  4.
distributions to unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trustee (Note 3).  30

##### Table of Contents

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)  The most significant differences between the Trusts financial statements and those
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are:  1.
net profits income is recognized in the month received rather than accrued in the month of production;  2.
expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred; and  3.
cash reserves may be established by the Trustee for certain contingencies that would not be recorded under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. This comprehensive basis of accounting corresponds to the accounting
permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts. Most accounting pronouncements apply to entities whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, directing such entities to accrue or defer revenues and expenses in a period other than when such revenues were received or expenses were paid. Because the Trusts financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis, as
described above, most accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the Trusts financial statements. The Trustee reviews the
Trusts net profits interests (NPI) in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the NPI may not be recoverable. In general, the Trustee does not view temporarily low prices as an indication of impairment. The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a
history of significant price volatility and though prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand. If events and circumstances indicated the carrying value may
not be recoverable, the Trustee would use the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI to evaluate the recoverability of the Trust assets. If the undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI are less than the NPI carrying value,
the Trust would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the NPI carrying value and the estimated fair value of the NPI. The determination as to whether the NPI is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by the Trustee and is based on the best
information available to the Trustee at the time of the evaluation. There was no impairment of the assets as of December 31, 2018. The initial carrying value of the net profits interests of $61,100,449 was XTO Energys historical net book value of the interests on
February 12, 1991, the date of the transfer to the Trust. Amortization of the net profits interests is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and charged
directly to trust corpus. Accumulated amortization was $52,573,937 as of December 31, 2018 and $51,789,115 as of December 31, 2017. 3.
Distributions to Unitholders The Trustee determines the amount to be distributed to unitholders each month by totaling net profits
income and other cash receipts, and subtracting liabilities paid and adjustments in cash reserves established by the Trustee. The resulting amount (with estimated interest to be received on such amount through the distribution date) is distributed
to unitholders of record within ten business days after the monthly record date, the last business day of the month. Net profits income
received by the Trustee consists of net proceeds received in the prior month by XTO Energy from the underlying properties multiplied by the net profits percentage of 90% or 75%. Net proceeds are the gross proceeds received from the sale of
production, less applicable costs. For the 90% net profits interests, such costs generally include production and property taxes, legal costs, and marketing and transportation charges. In addition to these costs, the 75% net profits interests
include deductions for production expense and development costs.  31

##### Table of Contents

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)  XTO Energy, as owner of the underlying properties, computes net profits income separately for
each of the five conveyances. If costs exceed gross proceeds for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net profits income from the other conveyances
(Note 7). 4. Income Taxes For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust that is taxed as a grantor trust. A grantor trust is not subject to tax at the trust level. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
statements. The unitholders are considered to own the Trusts income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each unitholder at the time such income is received
or accrued by the Trust and not when distributed by the Trust. All revenues from the Trust are from sources within Texas, Oklahoma or New
Mexico. Because it distributes all of its net income to unitholders, the Trust has not been taxed at the trust level in New Mexico or Oklahoma. While the Trust has not owed tax, the Trustee is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return
reflecting the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to properties located in that state, along with a schedule that includes information regarding distributions to unitholders. Texas imposes a franchise tax on certain types of entities
providing limited liability protection, including trusts. However, the Trustee is, and expects to continue to be exempt from Texas franchise tax under the exemption for passive entities. The Trust could potentially be required to bear a portion of the legal settlement costs arising from
theChieftain settlement. For information on contingencies, see Note 6 to Financial Statements. In the event that the Trust is determined to be responsible for such costs, XTO will deduct the costs in its calculation of the net
profits income payable to the Trust from the applicable net profits interests. Thus, for unitholders, the legal settlement costs will be reflected through a reduction in net profits income received from the Trust and thus in a reduction in the gross
royalty income reported by and taxable to the unitholders. In the event that the Trustee objects to such claimed reductions, the Trustee may also incur legal fees in representing the Trusts interests. For unitholders, such costs would be
reflected through an increase in the Trusts administrative expenses, which would be deductible by unitholders in determining the net royalty income from the Trust. Each unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding income tax requirements, if any, applicable to such persons
ownership of Trust units. 5. XTO Energy Inc. The underlying properties from which the net profits interests were carved are currently owned by XTO Energy or other affiliated companies of
ExxonMobil. Approximately 34 of the underlying royalty interests burden working interests in properties operated by XTO Energy. XTO
Energy operates the Hewitt Unit which is one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. Other than these properties, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil do not operate or control any of the underlying properties or related working
interests. In computing net proceeds for the 75% net profits interests (Note 3), XTO Energy deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement
for costs associated with monitoring these interests. This monthly overhead charge at December 31, 2018 was $39,834 ($29,876 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. XTO Energy deducts a monthly overhead charge for reimbursement of administrative expenses as operator of the Hewitt Unit, which is one of the
properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. As of December 31, 2018,  32

##### Table of Contents

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)  this monthly charge was approximately $28,000 ($21,000 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. On June 25, 2010, XTO Energy became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. 6. Contingencies In December 2010, a
royalty class action lawsuit was filed against XTO Energy styled Chieftain Royalty Company v. XTO Energy Inc. in Coal County District Court, Oklahoma. The plaintiffs alleged that XTO Energy wrongfully deducted fees from royalty
payments on Oklahoma wells, failed to make diligent efforts to secure the best terms available for the sale of gas and its constituents, and demanded an accounting to determine whether they have been fully and fairly paid gas royalty interests. XTO Energy advised the Trustee in December 2017 that it reached a tentative settlement with plaintiffs. On July 27, 2018, plaintiffs
submitted their final plan of allocation, which was approved by the court on the same date. The settlement total was $80 million and up to an additional $750 thousand for the costs of administering the settlement. Based on the
court-approved final plan of allocation, XTO Energy advised the Trustee that it believed approximately $40,000 in additional production costs should be allocated to the Trust. The Trustee has objected to similar claims relating to the
Chieftain settlement with respect to another trust for which it serves as trustee (the Hugoton Royalty Trust) pursuant to a demand for arbitration styled Simmons Bank (successor to Southwest Bank and Bank of America, N.A.)vs. XTO
Energy, Inc. through the American Arbitration Association seeking a declaratory judgment that the Chieftain settlement is not a production cost and that XTO Energy is prohibited from charging the settlement as a production cost under the
conveyance or otherwise reducing the Hugoton Royalty Trusts payments now or in the future as a result of the Chieftain litigation. The final award in the pending arbitration may determine whether any portion of the Chieftainlitigation settlement can be allocated to the Trust. Therefore the Trustee and XTO have agreed that XTO will defer making the accounting entries to allocate to the Trust its proportional share of the Chieftainsettlement until the panel
in the pending arbitration issues its final award on the Trustees request for a declaratory judgment. The Trustee intends to review any claimed reductions in payment to the Trust based on the facts and circumstances of the settlement. Several states have enacted legislation requiring state income tax withholding from nonresident recipients of oil and gas proceeds. After
consultation with its tax counsel, the Trustee believes that it is not required to withhold on payments made to the unitholders. However, regulations are subject to change by the various states, which could change this conclusion. Should amounts be
withheld on payments made to the Trust or the unitholders, distributions to the unitholders would be reduced by the required amount, subject to the filing of a claim for refund by the Trust or unitholders for such amount.  33

1,352,679 XTO Energy advised the Trustee that improved oil prices resulted in the partial recovery of excess costs of
$575,479 ($431,609 net to the Trust) on properties underlying the Texas working interest for the year ended December 31, 2018. This includes the partial recovery of $182,779 ($137,084 net to the Trust) for the quarter ended December 31,
2018. XTO Energy advised the Trustee that increased development costs, primarily due to the drilling of seven vertical wells in the
Hewitt Unit, resulted in net excess costs of $123,977 ($92,983 net to the Trust) on properties underlying the Oklahoma working interest for the year ended December 31, 2018. This includes net excess costs of $123,977 ($92,983 net to the Trust)
for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. XTO Energy advised the Trustee that continued lower oil prices in relation to operating
expenses and increased development costs resulted in net excess costs of $261,530 (NPI $196,147) on properties underlying the Texas working interests for the year ended December 31, 2017. This includes net excess costs of $33,219 ($24,914 net
to the Trust) for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. XTO Energy advised the Trustee that increased oil revenue resulted in the
complete recovery of excess costs on properties underlying the Oklahoma working interests for the year ended December 31, 2017. Underlying excess costs of $180,050, including accrued interest of $63,402 (NPI $47,551) was recovered during the

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)  Underlying cumulative excess costs for the Texas working interest conveyance remaining as of
December 31, 2018 totaled $1.7 million, including accrued interest of $0.2 million. Underlying cumulative excess costs for the Oklahoma working interest conveyance remaining as of December 31, 2018 totaled $0.1 million. 8. Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited) 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. Standardized Measure The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes in such cash flows are prepared using assumptions required by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board. Such assumptions include the use of 12-month average prices for oil and gas, based on the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period, and year end costs for estimated future development and production expenditures to produce the proved
reserves, including recovery of cumulative excess costs remaining at year end. Future net cash flows are discounted at an annual rate of 10%. No provision is included for federal income taxes since future net cash flows are not subject to taxation
at the trust level. The standardized measure does not represent managements estimate of future cash flows or the value of proved
oil and gas reserves. Probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. Furthermore, prices used to determine the standardized measure are influenced by supply and demand as affected by recent
economic conditions as well as other factors and may not be the most representative in estimating future revenues or reserve data. Estimated costs to plug and abandon wells on the underlying working interest properties at the end of their productive lives have not been
deducted from cash flows since this is not a legal obligation of the Trust. These costs are the legal obligation of XTO Energy as the owner of the underlying working interests and will only be deducted from net proceeds payable to the Trust if net
proceeds from the related conveyance exceed such costs when paid, subject to excess cost carryforward provisions (Note 3). Oil prices
used to determine the standardized measure were based on average realized oil prices of $59.46 per Bbl in 2018, $47.08 per Bbl in 2017, $38.19 per Bbl in 2016 and $46.58 per Bbl in 2015. The weighted average realized gas prices used to determine the
standardized measure were $3.45 per Mcf in 2018, $3.14 per Mcf in 2017, $2.45 per Mcf in 2016 and $2.83 per Mcf in 2015. Reserve
quantities and revenues for the net profits interests were estimated from projections of reserves and revenues attributable to the underlying properties. Since the Trust has defined net profits interests, the Trust does not own a specific percentage
of the oil and gas reserves. Oil and gas reserves are allocated to the net profits interests by  35

Approximately 34 of the underlying royalty interests burden working interests in properties
operated by XTO Energy. XTO Energy operates the Hewitt Unit which is one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. Other than these properties, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil do not operate or control any of the underlying
properties or related working interests. In computing net proceeds for the 75% net profits interests (Note 3), XTO Energy deducts an
overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. This monthly overhead charge at December 31, 2018 was $39,834 ($29,876 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry
index. XTO Energy deducts a monthly overhead charge for reimbursement of administrative expenses as operator of the Hewitt Unit, which is
one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. As of December 31, 2018, this monthly charge was approximately $28,000 ($21,000 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry
index. On June 25, 2010, XTO Energy became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. As of February 22, 2019, XTO Energy did not own any units. See Item 11, Executive Compensation, for the remuneration received by the Trustee for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 through
