Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.84 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.13 million from the prior month's distribution period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil sales prices. 

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.09 million for the current month, an increase of $0.01 million from the prior month's distribution period. This increase was due to an increase in natural gas prices and sales volumes.

Severance and ad valorem taxes were $0.15 million, an increase of $0.10 million from the prior month's distribution.

Capital expenses this month were $0.25 million, a decrease of $0.03 million from the prior month's distribution period.

Boaz Energy informed the Trust that this month's net profits calculation included $40,000 net to the Trust of funds reserved by Boaz Energy to cover future capital obligations and expenses.
