PERMIANVILLE ROYALTY TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

TRUST ORGANIZATION AND PROVISIONS

Permianville Royalty Trust (the “Trust”), previously known as Enduro Royalty Trust, is a Delaware statutory trust formed in May 2011 pursuant to a trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) among Enduro Resource Partners LLC (“Enduro”), as trustor, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), as trustee, and Wilmington Trust Company (the “Delaware Trustee”), as Delaware Trustee.

The Trust was created to acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust unitholders a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico held by Enduro as of the date of the conveyance of the net profits interest to the Trust (the “Net Profits Interest”). The properties in which the Trust holds the Net Profits Interest are referred to as the “Underlying Properties.”

In connection with the closing of the initial public offering in November 2011, Enduro contributed the Net Profits Interest to the Trust in exchange for 33,000,000 units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the “Trust Units”). On August 31, 2018, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (“COERT” or the “Sponsor”) acquired from Enduro the Underlying Properties and all of the outstanding Trust Units owned by Enduro (the “Sale Transaction”). In connection with the Sale Transaction, COERT assumed all of Enduro’s obligations under the Trust Agreement and other instruments to which Enduro and the Trustee were parties. As of June 30, 2023, the Sponsor owned 7,517,942 Trust Units, or 23% of the issued and outstanding Trust Units.

The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any management control over or responsibility for costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. The Amended and Restated Trust Agreement provides, among other provisions, that:

the Trust’s business activities are limited to owning the Net Profits Interest and any activity reasonably related to such ownership, including activities required or permitted by the terms of the Conveyance of Net Profits Interest, dated effective as of July 1, 2011 (as supplemented and amended to date, the “Conveyance”). As a result, the Trust is not permitted to acquire other oil and natural gas properties or net profits interests or otherwise to engage in activities beyond those necessary for the conservation and protection of the Net Profits Interest;

the Trust may dispose of all or any material part of the assets of the Trust (including the sale of the Net Profits Interest) if approved by at least 75% of the outstanding Trust Units;

the Sponsor may sell a divided or undivided portion of its interests in the Underlying Properties, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest, if approved by at least 50% of the outstanding Trust Units at a meeting of Trust unitholders;

the Trustee will make monthly cash distributions to unitholders (Note 5);

the Trustee may create a cash reserve to pay for future liabilities of the Trust;

the Trustee may authorize the Trust to borrow money to pay administrative or incidental expenses of the Trust that exceed its cash on hand and available reserves. No further distributions will be made to Trust unitholders until such amounts borrowed are repaid; and

the Trust is not subject to any pre-set termination provisions based on a maximum volume of oil or natural gas to be produced or the passage of time. The Trust will dissolve upon the earliest to occur of the following:

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

PERMIANVILLE ROYALTY TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

the annual cash proceeds received by the Trust attributable to the Net Profits Interest are less than $2 million for each of any two consecutive years;

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

the Trust is judicially dissolved.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Trust Corpus as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of the Trustee, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented and include all the disclosures necessary to make the information presented not misleading. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Trustee to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Trustee believes that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Trust uses the modified cash basis of accounting to report Trust receipts of income from the Net Profits Interest and payments of expenses incurred. The Net Profits Interest represents the right to receive revenues (oil and natural gas sales), less direct operating expenses (lease operating expenses and production and property taxes) and development expenses of the Underlying Properties, multiplied by 80%. Cash distributions of the Trust are made based on the amount of cash received by the Trust pursuant to terms of the Conveyance creating the Net Profits Interest.

Under the terms of the Conveyance, the monthly Net Profits Interest calculation includes oil and natural gas revenues received during the relevant month. Monthly operating expenses and capital expenditures represent estimated incurred expenses and, as a result, represent accrued expenses as well as expenses paid during the period.

The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis:

(a)

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

(b)

Distributions to Trust unitholders are recorded when paid by the Trust;

(c)

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

(d)

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

(e)

Amortization of the Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is charged directly to the Trust corpus; and

PERMIANVILLE ROYALTY TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(f)

The Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties is periodically assessed whenever events or circumstances indicate that the aggregate value may have been impaired below its total capitalized cost based on the Underlying Properties. If an impairment loss is indicated by the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows of the Net Profits Interest, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value determined using discounted cash flows. Any impairment is a direct charge to the Trust Corpus.

The financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP because revenues are not accrued; certain cash reserves may be established for contingencies which would not be accrued in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; general and administrative expenses are recorded when paid instead of when incurred; amortization of the net profits interest calculated on a unit-of-production basis is charged directly to trust corpus instead of as an expense; the Trust does not record a liability or repay any overpayment received as these will be deducted from future payments; and impairment is charged directly to the trust corpus. While these statements differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, the modified cash basis of reporting is considered to be the most meaningful because monthly distributions to the Trust unitholders are based on net cash receipts.

This comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts.

NET PROFITS INTEREST IN OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES

The Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties was recorded at its fair value on the date of conveyance. Amortization of the Net Profits Interest in oil and natural gas properties is calculated on a unit-of-production basis based on the Underlying Properties’ production and reserves. The reserves upon which the amortization rate is based are quantity estimates that are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of proved reserves. The volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in commodity prices and operating costs. These estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future. Downward revisions in proved reserves may result in an increased rate of amortization. Amortization is charged directly to the Trust corpus balance and does not affect the distributable income of the Trust. Accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $299,725,266 and $297,449,526, respectively.

The Net Profits Interest is periodically assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the current fair value based on expected future cash flows of the Underlying Properties may be less than the carrying value of the Net Profits Interest. While the Trust did not record an impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022, future downward revisions in actual production volumes relative to current forecasts, higher than expected operating costs, or lower than anticipated commodity prices could result in recognition of impairment in future periods.

INCOME TAXES

Federal Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Trust is a grantor trust and therefore is not subject to tax at the trust level. Trust unitholders are treated as owning a direct interest in the assets of the Trust, and each Trust unitholder is taxed directly on his or her pro rata share of the income and gain attributable to the assets of the Trust and entitled to claim his or her pro rata share of the deductions and expenses attributable to the assets of the Trust. 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 rather than when distributed by the Trust.

PERMIANVILLE ROYALTY TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The deductions of the Trust consist of severance taxes and administrative expenses. In addition, each unitholder is entitled to depletion deductions because the Net Profits Interest constitutes “economic interests” in oil and natural gas properties for federal income tax purposes. Each unitholder is entitled to amortize the cost of the Trust Units through cost depletion over the life of the Net Profits Interest or, if greater, through percentage depletion. Unlike cost depletion, percentage depletion is not limited to a unitholder’s depletable tax basis in the Trust Units. Rather, a unitholder could be entitled to percentage depletion as long as the applicable Underlying Properties generate gross income.

Some Trust Units are held by a middleman, 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 custodian in street name). Therefore, the Trustee considers the Trust to be a non-mortgage widely held fixed investment trust (“WHFIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 601 Travis, 16^thFloor, Houston, Texas 77002, telephone number (512) 236-6545, 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.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the middlemen holding 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 units, including the issuance of IRS Forms 1099 and certain written tax statements. Unitholders whose 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.

The tax consequences to a unitholder of ownership of Trust Units will depend in part on the unitholder’s tax circumstances. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors about the federal tax consequences relating to owning the Trust Units.

State Taxes

The Trust’s revenues are from sources in the states of Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas. Because it distributes all of its net income to unitholders, the Trust is not taxed at the trust level in Louisiana or New Mexico. Although the Trust does not owe tax, the Trustee is required to file a return with Louisiana reflecting the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to properties located in that state. Presently, Louisiana and New Mexico tax nonresident income from real property located within that state. Louisiana and New Mexico impose a corporate income tax which may apply to unitholders organized as corporations.

Texas does not impose a state income tax, so the Trust’s income is not subject to income tax at the trust level in Texas. Texas imposes a franchise tax at a rate of 0.75% on gross revenues less certain deductions for returns originally due on or after January 1, 2016, as specifically set forth in the Texas franchise tax statutes. Entities subject to tax generally include trusts unless otherwise exempt. Trusts that receive at least 90% of their federal gross income from designated passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other income from other non-operating mineral interests, 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.” Although the Trust is intended to be exempt from Texas franchise tax at the trust level as a passive entity, each unitholder that is considered a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax would generally be required to include its portion of Trust net income in its own Texas franchise tax computation.

Each unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding state tax requirements, if any, applicable to such person’s ownership of Trust Units.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS

Each month, the Trustee determines the amount of funds available for distribution to the Trust unitholders. Available funds are the excess cash, if any, received by the Trust from the Net Profits Interest and other sources (such as interest earned on any amounts reserved by the Trustee) that month, over the Trust’s liabilities for that month, subject to adjustments for changes made by the Trustee during the month in any cash reserves established for future liabilities of the Trust. No distributions will be made to Trust unitholders until the indebtedness created by such amounts drawn or borrowed as advances to the Trust have been repaid in full. Distributions are made to the holders of Trust Units as of the applicable record date (generally the last business day of each calendar month) and are payable on or before the 10th business day after the record date.

Sale of Divestiture Properties

On May 3, 2023, the Sponsor notified the Trustee that the Sponsor had entered into an agreement to divest certain acreage and associated production in the Permian Basin (the “Divestiture Properties”) that constituted part of the Underlying Properties and were therefore burdened by the Trust’s Net Profits Interest, for a total purchase price of approximately $6.7 million. On July 19, 2023, at a special meeting of Trust unitholders, the unitholders approved the foregoing transaction and the release of the Trust’s Net Profits Interest in the Divestiture Properties. On August 9, 2023, the Sponsor completed the sale of the Divestiture Properties. The total proceeds received by the Sponsor from the Divestiture Properties, after preliminary closing adjustments, were approximately $6.5 million, inclusive of the escrow funded by the buyer and partial expense reimbursement associated with the proxy solicitation. The Sponsor will deduct final transaction expenses from the sales proceeds, along with an escrow amount of $250,000 to cover possible indemnification obligations under the purchase and sale agreement (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”), to arrive at final net proceeds, based upon the Trust’s 80% Net Profits Interest. The Sponsor will set a record date and the special distribution, reflecting 50% of the Trust’s share of the net proceeds, will be paid to Trust unitholders on or before September 22, 2023. The remaining 50% of the Trust’s share of the net proceeds will be temporarily retained by the Sponsor as a source of payment of the Trust’s proportionate share of any post-closing purchase price adjustments, with any amount remaining (less any amounts in dispute) after such adjustments to be paid to the Trust within five business days after finalization of the settlement statement (which is expected to occur within 90 days following the closing of the sale) and included in a distribution to unitholders. Within 12 months after the closing of the sale, any remaining amount from the Indemnification Escrow Amount (less any amounts in dispute) will be released to the Trust and included in a distribution to unitholders.

Overview

Permianville Royalty Trust, a statutory trust created in May 2011, completed its initial public offering in November 2011. The Trust’s only asset and source of income is the Net Profits Interest, which entitles the Trust to receive 80% of the net profits from oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any management control over or responsibility for costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. Additionally, third parties operate substantially all of the wells on the Underlying Properties and, therefore, the Sponsor is not in a position to control the timing of development efforts, associated costs, or the rate of production of the reserves.

On August 31, 2018, COERT completed the acquisition from Enduro of the Underlying Properties and all of the outstanding Trust Units owned by Enduro (the “Sale Transaction”). In connection with the Sale Transaction, COERT assumed all of Enduro’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust and other instruments to which Enduro and the Trustee were parties.

The Trust is required to make monthly cash distributions of substantially all of its monthly cash receipts, after deducting the Trust’s administrative expenses, to the holders of Trust Units as of the applicable record date (generally the last business day of each calendar month) on or before the 10^th business day after the record date. The Net Profits Interest is entitled to a share of the profits from and after July 1, 2011 attributable to production occurring on or after June 1, 2011. The amount of Trust revenues and cash distributions to Trust unitholders depends on, among other things:

oil and natural gas sales prices;

volumes of oil and natural gas produced and sold attributable to the Underlying Properties;

production and development costs;

price differentials;

potential reductions or suspensions of production;

the amount and timing of Trust administrative expenses; and

the establishment, increase, or decrease of reserves for approved development expenses or future liabilities of the Trust.

Generally, the Sponsor receives cash payment for oil production 30 to 60 days after it is produced and for natural gas production 60 to 90 days after it is produced.

Outlook

The overall outlook for development activity on the Underlying Properties remained relatively stable during the first half of 2023, despite a year-over-year volatility in commodity prices. Although the global economy remains volatile, reflecting, among other factors, the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sponsor does not expect that these events will have a material impact on the Underlying Properties or the expected 2023 development activity as detailed in the Trust’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, aside from the effects of volatile commodity prices. The West Texas Intermediate spot price of crude oil has modestly improved from $80.26 per barrel on December 30, 2022 to $82.82 per barrel on August 10, 2023. Natural gas prices have declined year-over-year, with the Henry Hub spot price decreasing from $3.52 per MMBtu on December 30, 2022 to $2.83 per MMBtu on August 10, 2023.

With oil prices achieving greater stability in recent periods, the Sponsor currently expects an incremental increase in the previously disclosed capital spending outlook, from the earlier range of $6.0 million to $9.0 million, or $4.8 million to $7.2 million net to the Trust’s Net Profits Interest, to an updated range of $8.0 million to $12.0 million, or $6.4 million to $9.6 million net to the Trust’s Net Profits Interest. The increase in expected capital expenditures is driven primarily by greater activity in the Permian basin by large-cap public operators, which compose the majority of the operators of the Underlying Properties. Meanwhile, the Sponsor continues to expect some moderation in the expected capital expenditure activity in the Haynesville portion of the Underlying Properties, although any declines in this area would be at least partially offset by higher, oil-weighted Permian activity. Nevertheless, the outlook for capital expenditures remains subject to change, as operators are expected to continue to reevaluate their planned capital expenditures, particularly to the extent commodity prices experience further volatility in the future.

Over the first half of 2023, the Sponsor has begun to see a moderation in some of the inflationary pressures and supply chain bottlenecks that had been affecting the Underlying Properties. Given the market volatility and recently increased capital expenditure activity levels, the Sponsor may establish a new cash reserve for approved, future development expenses during 2023, similar to the cash reserve that the Sponsor had established in 2022. The Sponsor indicates that it continues to have access to adequate capital and liquidity to fund such capital expenditures as they come due.

The Sponsor believes there could be further opportunity in 2023 for prospective divestitures, as operators of some of the Underlying Properties look to acquire assets at compelling valuations against the backdrop of favorable oil prices compared to prior years.

Capex Drilling Activity Update

Presented below is a summary of the current status of certain notable capital projects recently undertaken on the Underlying Properties pursuant to the capital expenditure program described above.

The following table is not intended to be a comprehensive list reflecting all capital expenditures to date. The table provides information regarding current projects that remain in process and have not yet begun to generate revenues. Additional information regarding producing wells drilled pursuant to the capital expenditure program is provided following the table.

There can often be a several-month delay from the time of capital expenditures to the time of production and cash flows attributable to the Underlying Properties, especially given the non-operated nature of the Underlying Properties. For example, as previously disclosed, in May 2023 three wells from one of the larger, previously detailed drilling projects were finally converted to first revenues after a delay associated with the operator. These wells began generating revenues in 2022, but the amounts were only finalized for non-operating partners in 2023. The cash revenue catch-up totaled approximately $3.7 million, or approximately $2.9 million net to the Trust’s Net Profits Interest, which was reflected in the net profits interest calculation reported in July and will be included in the distribution that will be paid to Trust unitholders on August 14, 2023.

Operator	Region	Number of Wells	Underlying Properties W/I		Project	Capex Cumulative Total (in thousands)		Status
Large Cap Major 1	Haynesville	1	4.4	%	D&C New Drills	$	40	In-process
Large Cap E&P 1	Midland	8	7.2	%	D&C New Drills	$	2,158	5 Producing, Awaiting First Revenues; 3 Drilling In-Process/Pre Drill
Large Cap E&P 2	Conventional Permian	N/A (Field)	0.8	%	New Drills / Workovers	$	168	In-process/ Continual Program
PE-Backed Private 1	Delaware	4	5.4	%	D&C New Drills	$	529	4 Drilling In-Process
PE-Backed Private 2	Delaware	9	0.9	%	D&C New Drills	$	590	4 Producing, Awaiting First Revenues; 5 Pre-Drill
Large Cap E&P 3	Midland	4	3.4	%	D&C New Drills		-	Pre-Drill
Large Cap E&P 4	Haynesville	5	3.7	%	D&C New Drills		-	Pre-Drill
Private E&P 2	Haynesville	3	3.6	%	Refrac	$	795	3 In-Process

As reflected in the table above, the Sponsor indicates that since the first quarter a new Haynesville project has commenced (Large Cap E&P 4). In addition, as indicated above, three wells in the Midland began paying revenues during the second quarter, and the same operator (Large Cap E&P 1) has begun to produce from three wells that had been previously categorized as drilling in-process, in addition to adding one new pre-drill project. Meanwhile, one of the Haynesville wells drilled (Large Cap Major 1) has come online and began to generate first revenues in the second quarter. For the other projects identified above that are still in process or awaiting first revenues, the Sponsor expects a majority to be completed and to begin producing during 2023.

Net profits attributable to the Underlying Properties for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $2.9 million compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $2.3 million decrease in net profits attributable to the Underlying Properties from the 2023 period to the 2022 period was primarily due to the following items:

Oil sales decreased $1.4 million due to lower realized prices and lower produced volumes. The 2% decrease in realized oil sales prices in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period caused revenues to decline by $0.2 million, and lower produced volumes caused a $1.2 million decline in revenues. Oil sales volumes decreased 12% as a result of natural production declines.

Natural gas sales decreased $1.5 million due to lower produced volumes and lower realized prices. The 28% decrease in gas sales volumes and the 2% decrease in realized gas prices in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period caused revenues to decline by $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Lease operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 remained consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2022 at $6.0 million.

Compression, gathering and transportation costs decreased $0.3 million, primarily due to the decrease in natural gas volumes.

Production, ad valorem and other taxes decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to the decrease in oil and natural gas produced volumes.

Development expenses increased $0.2 million in the 2023 period due to drilling and completion costs for drilling multiple new wells in the Permian area in the 2023 period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Trust withheld $0.4 million and paid $0.1 million for general and administrative expenses. Expenses paid during the period primarily consisted of fees for the preparation of the Trust’s monthly press releases, Trustee fees, and New York Stock Exchange listing fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Trust withheld $0.4 million and paid $0.2 million for general and administrative expenses.

Net profits attributable to the Underlying Properties for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $7.8 million compared to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $1.7 million decrease in net profits attributable to the Underlying Properties from the 2023 period to the 2022 period was primarily due to the following items:

Oil sales decreased $1.0 million due to lower sales volumes, which caused oil sales to decrease by $2.2 million. The decrease in oil sales due to lower sales volumes was partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in oil sales due to increased realized prices. The average oil price received increased 7% as a result of the corresponding increase in the average NYMEX oil price for the relevant production months. Oil sales volumes decreased 11% as a result of natural production declines.

Natural gas sales decreased $0.7 million due to lower sales volumes, which decreased natural gas sales by $1.7 million, partially offset by higher realized prices, which increased natural gas sales by $1.0 million. The average natural gas price received in the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 17% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in the average NYMEX natural gas price. Natural gas volumes decreased 22% primarily as a result of payment timing differences and natural production declines.

Lease operating expenses increased $0.5 million, primarily attributable to the increased number of producing wells in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Compression, gathering and transportation costs decreased $0.9 million, primarily due to the decrease in natural gas volumes.

Production, ad valorem and other taxes decreased $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to the decrease in oil and natural gas produced volumes.

Development expenses increased $0.9 million due to drilling and completion costs for drilling multiple new wells in the Permian and Haynesville areas.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, COERT released the remaining $1.0 million from the cash reserve for future development expenses it had established in 2022 through the withholding of net profits otherwise payable to the Trust.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Trust withheld $0.8 million and paid $0.5 million for general and administrative expenses. Expenses paid during the period primarily consisted of fees for the preparation of the 2022 tax information for Trust unitholders, preparation of the Trust’s 2022 reserve report, financial statement audit fees, preparation of the Trust’s monthly press releases, Trustee fees, and New York Stock Exchange listing fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Trust withheld $0.9 million and paid $0.4 million for general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Trust’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from the Net Profits Interest and borrowing capacity under the letter of credit described below. Other than Trust administrative expenses, including any reserves established by the Trustee for future liabilities, the Trust’s only use of cash is for distributions to Trust unitholders. Available funds are the excess cash, if any, received by the Trust from the Net Profits Interest and other sources (such as interest earned on any amounts reserved by the Trustee) in any given month, over the Trust’s expenses paid for that month. Available funds are reduced by any cash the Trustee determines to hold as a reserve against future expenses.

The Trustee may create a cash reserve to pay for future liabilities of the Trust. In February 2022, the Trustee began withholding $37,833 from the funds otherwise available for distribution each month to gradually build a cash reserve of approximately $2.3 million for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities of the Trust. Commencing with the distribution to Trust unitholders payable in April 2023, the Trustee has been withholding, and in the future intends to withhold, $50,000 from the funds otherwise available for distribution each month to gradually build the reserve. The Trustee may increase or decrease the targeted cash reserve amount at any time, and may increase or decrease the rate at which it is withholding funds to build the cash reserve at any time, without advance notice to the Trust unitholders. Cash held in reserve will be invested as required by the Trust Agreement. Any cash reserved in excess of the amount necessary to pay or provide for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities eventually will be distributed to Trust unitholders, together with interest earned on the funds. As of June 30, 2023, the Trustee has withheld $666,053 toward this cash reserve.

If the Trustee determines that the cash on hand and the cash to be received are, or will be, insufficient to cover the Trust’s liabilities, the Trustee may authorize the Trust to borrow money to pay administrative or incidental expenses of the Trust that exceed cash held by the Trust. The Trustee may authorize the Trust to borrow from any person, including the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or an affiliate thereof, although none of the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any affiliate thereof intends to lend funds to the Trust. The Trustee may also cause the Trust to mortgage its assets to secure payment of the indebtedness. The terms of such indebtedness and security interest, if funds were to be loaned by the entity serving as Trustee or Delaware Trustee or an affiliate thereof, would be similar to the terms which such entity would grant to a similarly situated commercial customer with whom it did not have a fiduciary relationship. In addition, COERT has provided the Trust with a $1.2 million letter of credit to be used by the Trust if its cash on hand (including available cash reserves) is insufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses. Further, if the Trust requires more than the $1.2 million under the letter of credit to pay administrative expenses, COERT has agreed to loan funds to the Trust necessary to pay such expenses. Any loan made by COERT to the Trust would be evidenced by a written promissory note, be on an unsecured basis, and have terms that are no less favorable to COERT than those that would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction between COERT and an unaffiliated third party. If the Trust borrows funds or draws on the letter of credit, no further distributions will be made to Trust unitholders until such amounts borrowed or drawn are repaid. Except for the foregoing, the Trust has no source of liquidity or capital resources. The Trustee has no current plans to authorize the Trust to borrow any funds. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Trust had cash of $1,240,033 and $922,913, respectively, to be used towards future Trust expenses. Since its formation, the Trust has not borrowed any funds and no amounts have been drawn on the letter of credit.

From time to time, if the Trust’s cash on hand (including available cash reserves, if any) is not sufficient to pay the Trust’s ordinary course administrative expenses that are due prior to the monthly payment to the Trust of proceeds from the Net Profits Interest, COERT may advance funds to the Trust to pay such expenses. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no outstanding balance. Any advances to the Trust will be carried forward to be repaid out of future net profits generated by the Underlying Properties.

Cash held by the Trustee as a reserve against future liabilities or for distribution at the next distribution date may be held in a noninterest-bearing account or may be invested in:

interest-bearing obligations of the United States government;

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

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

bank certificates of deposit.

The Trust pays the Trustee an annual administrative fee of $200,000 and the Delaware Trustee an annual fee of $2,000. The Trust also incurs, either directly or as a reimbursement to the Trustee, legal, accounting, tax and engineering fees, printing costs and other expenses that are deducted by the Trust before distributions are made to Trust unitholders. The Trust also is responsible for paying other expenses incurred as a result of being a publicly traded entity, including costs associated with annual and quarterly reports to Trust unitholders, tax return and Form 1099 preparation and distribution, NYSE listing fees, independent auditor fees and registrar and transfer agent fees.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Trust has no off-balance sheet 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.
