PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST PART IFINANCIAL INFORMATION  Item 1.
Financial Statements The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Simmons Bank as Trustee for the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (the Trust),
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective February 20, 2018, Simmons Bank (the Trustee) became the new trustee for the Trust. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Trustee believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It
is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements and notes thereto be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Trusts latest annual report on Form
10-K. In the opinion of the Trustee, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Trust as of March 31,
2022, and the distributable income and the changes in trust corpus for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, have been included. The distributable income for such interim periods is not necessarily indicative of the
distributable income for the full year. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts included herein are presented in US dollars. The condensed interim
financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, included herein, have been reviewed by Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in
their report appearing herein.  2

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Unit Holders of Permian Basin Royalty Trust and Simmons
Bank, Trustee Dallas, Texas Results of Review of
Interim Financial Statements We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statements of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of Permian Basin Royalty
Trust (the Trust) as of March 31, 2022, and the related condensed statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as
the condensed interim financial statements or interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements for them to
be in conformity with 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. As described in Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements, these condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a modified cash basis of
accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have
previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the statement of assets, liabilities, and trust corpus as of December 31, 2021, and the related
statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 30, 2022 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus as of December 31, 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statement of assets, liabilities, and trust corpus
from which it has been derived. Basis for Review Results These condensed interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Trustee. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion. /s/ WEAVER AND TIDWELL, L.L.P. Dallas, Texas May 16, 2022  3

PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)  1.
TRUST ORGANIZATION AND PROVISIONS The Permian Basin Royalty Trust (Trust) was established as of November 1, 1980. Simmons Bank (Trustee) is Trustee
for the Trust. The net overriding royalties conveyed to the Trust include (1) a 75% net overriding royalty in Southland Royalty Companys fee mineral interest in the Waddell Ranch in Crane County, Texas (the Waddell Ranch
properties) and (2) a 95% net overriding royalty carved out of Southland Royalty Companys major producing royalty properties in Texas (the Texas Royalty properties). The net overriding royalty for the Texas Royalty
properties is subject to the provisions of the lease agreements under which such royalties were created. The net overriding royalties above are collectively referred to as the Royalties. On November 3, 1980, Units of Beneficial Interest (Units) in the Trust were distributed to the Trustee for the benefit of
Southland Royalty Companys shareholders of record as of November 3, 1980, who received one Unit in the Trust for each share of Southland Royalty Company common stock held. The Units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP (BROG), a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, was the interest owner for the Waddell
Ranch properties and Riverhill Energy Corporation (Riverhill Energy), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Riverhill Capital Corporation (Riverhill Capital) and formerly an affiliate of Coastal Management Corporation
(CMC), is the interest owner for the Texas Royalty properties. In February 1997, BROG sold its interest in the Texas Royalty properties to Riverhill Energy. Riverhill Energy currently conducts all field, technical and accounting
operations for the Texas Royalty Properties. BROG notified the Trust that on November 1, 2019, the Waddell Ranch properties that are subject to the Net Overriding Royalty Conveyance (Permian Basin Royalty Trust  Waddell Ranch) dated
November 1, 1980, were sold to Blackbeard Operating, LLC (Blackbeard) of Fort Worth, Texas. Blackbeard became the operator effective as of April 1, 2020. The Trustee was advised that in the first quarter of 1998, Schlumberger Technology Corporation (STC) acquired all of the shares of
stock of Riverhill Capital. Prior to such acquisition by STC, CMC and Riverhill Energy were wholly owned subsidiaries of Riverhill Capital. The Trustee was further advised that in connection with STCs acquisition of Riverhill Capital, the
shareholders of Riverhill Capital acquired ownership of all of the shares of stock of Riverhill Energy. Thus, the ownership in the Texas Royalty properties referenced above remained in Riverhill Energy, the stock ownership of which was acquired by
the former shareholders of Riverhill Capital.  7

On January 9, 2014, Bank of America N.A. (as successor to The First National Bank of
Fort Worth) gave notice to Unit holders that it would be resigning as trustee of the Trust subject to certain conditions that included the appointment of Southwest Bank as successor trustee. At a Special Meeting of Trust Unit holders, the Unit
holders approved the appointment of Southwest Bank as successor trustee of the Trust once the resignation of Bank of America N.A. took effect and also approved certain amendments to the Trust Indenture. The effective date of Bank of America
N.A.s resignation and the effective date of Southwest Banks appointment as successor trustee was 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. SFNC is the parent company of Simmons Bank. SFNC merged Southwest Bank with Simmons Bank effective February 20, 2018. The defined term Trustee as used herein shall refer
to Bank of America N.A. for periods prior to August 29, 2014, and shall refer to Southwest Bank for periods from August 29, 2014 through February 19, 2018 and shall refer to Simmons Bank for periods on and after February 20,
2018. On November 4, 2021, the Trustee announced that it has entered into an agreement with Argent Trust Company, a Tennessee
chartered trust company (Argent), pursuant to which the Trustee will be resigning as trustee of the Trust and will nominate Argent as successor trustee of the Trust. The Trustees resignation as trustee, and Argents
appointment as successor trustee, are subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, including approval by the Unit holders of the Trust and of certain other trusts of which Simmons Bank acts as trustee (or a court) of
(i) Argents appointment as successor trustee and (ii) any amendments to the Indenture of the Trust and the trust agreements and indentures of the other trusts necessary to permit Argent to serve as successor trustee. The terms of the Trust Indenture provide, among other things, that:  

the Trust shall not engage in any business or commercial activity of any kind or acquire any assets other than
those initially conveyed to the Trust;  

the Trustee may not sell all or any part of the Royalties unless approved by holders of 75% of all Units
outstanding in which case the sale must be for cash and the proceeds promptly distributed;  

the Trustee may establish a cash reserve for the payment of any liability which is contingent or uncertain in
amount;  8




---



the Trustee is authorized to borrow funds to pay liabilities of the Trust; and  

the Trustee will make monthly cash distributions to Unit holders (see Note 3).  2.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The
financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis:  

Royalty income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by the
interest owners. Royalty income consists of the amounts received by the owners of the interest burdened by the Royalties from the sale of production less accrued production costs, development and drilling costs, applicable taxes, operating charges
and other costs and deductions multiplied by 75% in the case of the Waddell Ranch properties and 95% in the case of the Texas Royalty properties.  

Trust expenses, consisting principally of routine general and administrative costs, recorded are based on
liabilities paid and cash reserves established out of cash received or borrowed funds for liabilities and contingencies.  

Distributions to Unit holders are recorded when declared by the Trustee. The financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP) because revenues are not accrued in the month of production, expenses are recorded when paid and certain cash reserves may be established for contingencies which would not be accrued in financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Amortization of the Royalties calculated on a unit-of-production basis is charged directly to trust corpus. This
comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the basis of accounting described above requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from such estimates.  9




---

Contingencies Contingencies related to the underlying properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be reflected by the Trust as reductions to
future royalty income payments to the Trust with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Unit holders. Distributable Income
Per Unit Basic distributable income per Unit is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average of Units
outstanding. Distributable income per Unit assuming dilution is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average number of Units and equivalent Units outstanding. The Trust had no equivalent Units outstanding for any period
presented. Therefore, basic distributable income per Unit and distributable income per Unit assuming dilution are the same. New
Accounting Pronouncements There are no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have significant impact on the Trusts
financial statements.  3.
NET OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTERESTS AND DISTRIBUTION TO UNIT HOLDERS The amounts to be distributed to Unit holders (Monthly Distribution Amounts) are determined on a monthly basis. The Monthly
Distribution Amount is an amount equal to the sum of cash received by the Trustee during a calendar month attributable to the Royalties, any reduction in cash reserves and any other cash receipts of the Trust, including interest, reduced by the sum
of liabilities paid and any increase in cash reserves. If the Monthly Distribution Amount for any monthly period is a negative number, then the distribution will be zero for such month. To the extent the distribution amount is a negative number,
that amount will be carried forward and deducted from future monthly distributions until the cumulative distribution calculation becomes a positive number, at which time a distribution will be made. Unit holders of record will be entitled to receive
the calculated Monthly Distribution Amount for each month on or before 10 business days after the monthly record date, which is generally the last business day of each calendar month. The cash received by the Trustee consists of the amounts received by owners of the interest burdened by the Royalties from the sale of
production less the sum of applicable taxes, accrued production costs, development and drilling costs, operating charges and other costs and deductions, multiplied by 75% in the case of the Waddell Ranch properties and 95% in the case of the Texas
Royalty properties.  10




---

4.
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 federal income tax at the trust level. The Unit holders are considered for federal tax purposes 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 Unit holder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust and not when distributed by the Trust. If the Trust borrows funds to pay liabilities of the Trust, as contemplated in the Trust Indenture, tax-exempt Unit holders could be required to recognize unrelated business taxable income.  5.
STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS All revenues from the Trust are from sources within Texas, which does not impose an individual income tax. Texas imposes a franchise tax at a
rate of 0.75% on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas franchise tax statutes. Entities subject to the Texas franchise 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 Unit holder that is a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax generally will be
required to include its portion of Trust revenues in its own Texas franchise tax computation. This revenue is sourced to Texas under provisions of the Texas Administrative Code providing that such income is sourced according to the principal place
of business of the Trust, which is Texas. Unit holders should consult their tax advisors regarding state tax requirements, if any,
applicable to such Unit holders ownership of Trust units.  6.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies related to the Underlying Properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be reflected by the Trust as reductions to
future royalty income payments to the Trust with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Unit holders.  11

7.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the Trust declared a distribution on April 19, 2022 of $0.031783per Unit payable on
May 13, 2022 to Unit holders of record on April 29, 2022. On April 5, 2022, the Trust commenced its Special Meeting of
unitholders (the Special Meeting) as previously scheduled and adjourned the meeting due to lack of the requisite quorum. The Special Meeting was adjourned to allow the unitholders additional time to vote on the proposals described in the
Trusts definitive proxy statement filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2022, as amended. The Special Meeting was reconvened on May 4, 2022, whereby a quorum was obtained and the proposals were
approved. *        *        *

Item 2.
Trustees Discussion and Analysis Forward Looking Information Certain information included
in this report contains, 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 the Trust) may contain
or include, 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. Such forward looking statements may be or may concern,
among other things, capital expenditures, drilling activity, development activities, production efforts and volumes, hydrocarbon prices and the results thereof, and regulatory matters. Although the Trustee believes that the expectations reflected in
such forward looking statements are reasonable, such expectations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and the Trustee can give no assurance that they will prove correct. There are many factors, none of which are within the Trustees
control, that may cause such expectations not to be realized, including, among other things, factors such as actual oil and gas prices and the recoverability of reserves, capital expenditures, general economic conditions, actions and policies of
petroleum-producing nations and other changes in the domestic and international energy markets. Such forward looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as estimate, expect, predict,
anticipate, goal, should, assume, believe, or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Commodity Prices The Trusts income and monthly
distributions are heavily influenced by commodity prices. Commodity prices may fluctuate widely in response to (i) relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, (ii) market uncertainty and (iii) a
variety of additional factors that are beyond the Trustees control. In 2020, there was a substantial decrease in oil and natural gas prices due in part to significantly decreased demand as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. A combination of these factors resulted in the price of oil falling below zero to $(37.63) per barrel of oil on April 20, 2020, recovering the following day to $10.01 per barrel
of oil. Recent prices have been substantially higher, but are expected to remain volatile. As of May 2, 2022, the price of oil was $105.18. Factors that may impact future commodity prices, including the price of oil and natural gas, include but
are not limited to:  

political conditions in major oil producing regions, especially in the Middle East and Russia;  

worldwide economic conditions;  

weather conditions;  13




---



trade barriers;  

public health concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic;  

the supply and price of domestic and foreign crude oil or natural gas;  

the level of consumer demand;  

the price and availability of alternative fuels;  

the proximity to, and capacity of, transportation facilities;  

the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures; and  

the nature and extent of governmental regulation and taxation. Although the Trustee cannot predict the occurrence of events that may affect future commodity prices or the degree to which these prices will be affected, gas
royalty income for a given period generally relates to production three months prior to the period and crude oil royalty income for a given period generally relates to production two months prior to the period and will generally approximate current
market prices in the geographic region of the production at the time of production. When crude oil and natural gas prices decline, the Trust is affected in two ways. First, distributable income from the Royalty Properties is reduced. Second,
exploration and development activity by operators on the Royalty Properties may decline as some projects may become uneconomic and are either delayed or eliminated. It is impossible to predict future crude oil and natural gas price movements, and
this reduces the predictability of future cash distributions to Unit holders. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31, 2021 For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, royalty income received by the Trust amounted to $4,078,645 compared to royalty income
of $2,124,157 during the first quarter of 2021. The increase in royalty income is primarily attributable to an increase in oil and natural gas production and pricing for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Average oil and gas prices were $75.95
and $4.52, respectively, for the quarter ending March 31, 2022 compared to $44.08 and $2.67 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Interest
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $1,233 compared to $1,313 during the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributable to decreased amounts of funds available for investment. Total expenses during
the first quarter of 2022 amounted to $345,184 compared to $285,740 during the first quarter of 2021. The increase in total expenses can be primarily attributed to increased expense for professional services and the timing of payment of expenses.  14




---

These transactions resulted in distributable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, of $3,734,694
or $0.08 per Unit of beneficial interest. Distributions of $0.031614, $0.029164 and $0.019331 per Unit were made to Unit holders of record as of January 31, 2022, February 28, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively. For the first
quarter of 2021, distributable income was $1,839,730or $.04per Unit of beneficial interest. Royalty income for the Trust for the first
quarter of the calendar year is associated with actual oil and gas production for the period of November and December 2021 and January 2022 from the properties from which the Trusts net overriding royalty interests (Royalties) were
carved. Oil and gas sales attributable to the Royalties and the properties from which the Royalties were carved are as follows:  15

2.67 The average received price of oil increased to an average price per barrel of $75.95 per Bbl in the first quarter of 2022,
compared to $44.08 per Bbl in the first quarter of 2021 due to worldwide market variables. The Trustee has been advised by the operator of the Waddell Ranch properties that for the period of August 1, 1993, through March 31, 2022, the oil
from the Waddell Ranch properties was being sold under a competitive bid to a third party. The average price of gas (including natural gas liquids) increased from $2.67 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2021 to $4.52 per Mcf in the first quarter of
2022 due to change in overall market variables. Since the oil and gas sales attributable to the Royalties are based on an allocation formula that is
dependent on such factors as price and cost (including capital expenditures), the production amounts in the Royalties section of the above table do not provide a meaningful comparison. Oil sales volumes increased and gas sales volumes increased from
the Underlying Properties (as defined in the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021) for the applicable period in 2022 compared to 2021. Capital expenditures for drilling, remedial and maintenance activities on the Waddell Ranch properties during the first quarter of 2022 totaled
$20.5 million as compared to $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. Blackbeard has previously informed the Trustee that the 2022 capital expenditures budget has been approved at $254 million (gross) for the Waddell Ranch
properties. The total amount of capital expenditures for 2021 with regard to the Waddell Ranch properties totaled $191 million (gross).  16




---

The Trustee has been advised that there were 11.6 workover wells completed, 10.9 new wells completed, 3.4
new wells in progress and 4.1 workover wells in progress during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 27 workover wells completed, 8 new wells completed, 8 new wells in progress and 9 workover wells in progress
for the three months ended March 31, 2021, on the Waddell Ranch properties. There were various facility projects in progress for the first quarter of 2022. Lease operating expenses and property taxes totaled $9.5 million (gross) for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $2.3 million (gross) for the
same period in 2021 on the Waddell Ranch properties due to increased maintenance work. Calculation of Royalty Income The Trusts royalty income is computed as a percentage of the net profit from the operation of the properties in which the Trust owns net overriding
royalty interests. The royalty income received and recorded by the Trust was determined by the operator as noted below. These percentages of net profits are 75% and 95% in the case of the Waddell Ranch properties and the Texas Royalty properties,
respectively. Royalty income received by the Trust for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were computed as shown in the table below:  17

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates A disclosure of critical accounting policies and the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Trusts financial statements
is included in Item 7 of the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies during the three
months ended March 31, 2022. Distributable Income Per Unit Basic distributable income per Unit is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average of Units outstanding. Distributable income per Unit
assuming dilution is computed by dividing distributable income by the weighted average number of Units and equivalent Units outstanding. The Trust had no equivalent Units outstanding for any period presented. Therefore, basic distributable income
per Unit and distributable income per Unit assuming dilution are the same. New Accounting Pronouncements There are no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have significant impact on the Trusts financial statements.  Item 3.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable due to the Trusts status as a smaller reporting company.  Item 4.
Controls and Procedures On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission issued an updated version of its Internal Control  Integrated
Framework (the 2013 Framework) which helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the
Trustee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 based on the criteria established in the 2013 Framework. Based upon that evaluation, the Trustee concluded that the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing,
summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed
by the Trust in the reports  19

that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Trustee to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In its evaluation of
disclosure controls and procedures, the Trustee has relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by Blackbeard, the owner of the Waddell Ranch properties, and Riverhill Energy Corporation, the owner of the Texas Royalty
properties. There has not been any change in the Trusts internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trusts internal
control over financial reporting.  20
