SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
February 12, 2007
To Unit Holders:
     This booklet provides 2006 tax information which will allow you to determine your pro rata share of income and deductions attributable to your investment in Sabine Royalty Trust (the “Trust”). Each Unit holder is encouraged to read the entire booklet very carefully.
     The material included in this booklet enables you to compute the information to be included in your Federal and state income tax returns. This booklet is the only information source for Unit holders to determine their share of the items of income and expense of the Trust for the entire 2006 calendar year. Unit holders should retain this booklet as part of their tax records.
     You may have recently received a 2006 Form 1099DIV from Mellon Investor Services reporting distributions paid by Sabine Royalty Trust. A review of our records shows that this tax form was erroneously sent to you. We have corrected our records and you should have received a 2006 Form 1099MISC reflecting the correct reportable income. This 1099MISC is for informational purposes only and should be only used to compare your cash distributions received.
     The material herein is not intended and should not be construed as professional tax or legal advice. Each Unit holder should consult the Unit holder’s own tax advisor regarding all tax compliance matters relating to the Units.
     This year’s tax booklet contains additional schedules designed to assist you or your tax advisor in calculating the information to be included in your Federal income tax returns. Those schedules are included on pages 20 through 21. We have also consolidated some of the historical depletion information that is no longer applicable.
Very truly yours,
Sabine Royalty Trust,
By Bank of America, N.A., Trustee
1-800-365-6541

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
2006 TAX INFORMATION
Reading the Income and Expense Schedules
     The accompanying income and expense schedules reflect tax information attributable to Sabine Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) for 2006. This information has been assembled on a per Unit basis and is expressed in decimal fractions of one dollar. A cumulative schedule for the twelve months ended December 29, 2006, which is the last distribution payment date for 2006, and separate noncumulative schedules for the months of January through December 2006 are included. Separate depletion schedules are enclosed which provide the necessary information for Unit holders to compute cost depletion with respect to their interests in the Trust.
Identifying Which Income and Expense Schedules to Use
     Pursuant to the terms of the Trust agreement and the escrow agreement, the Trust receives income and incurs expenses only on Monthly Record Dates. Furthermore, only Unit holders of record on Monthly Record Dates are entitled to cash distributions. On the basis of these agreements, both cash and accrual basis Unit holders should be considered as realizing income and incurring expenses only on Monthly Record Dates. Therefore, if you were not the Unit holder of record on a specified Monthly Record Date, you should not use the tax information for the month in which that Monthly Record Date falls. A table of Monthly Record Dates and cash distributions per Unit is included on page 4.
     The appropriate schedules to be used by a Unit holder will depend upon (i) the date the Unit holder became a holder of record of the Units, (ii) if applicable, the date the Unit holder ceased to be the holder of record of the Units, and (iii) the tax year-end of the Unit holder. For instance, a Unit holder reporting on the calendar year basis who acquired Units and became a Unit holder of record on June 15, 2006 and who still owned only those Units on December 15, 2006 must use each of the separate monthly schedules for June through December 2006 (located on pages 13-19), and Depletion Schedule I (located on page 22) for such Units. However, Unit holders reporting on a calendar year basis who became Unit holders of record prior to January 17, 2006 and who continued to own only those Units on December 15, 2006, must use only the cumulative schedule for calendar year 2006 (located on page 7) and Depletion Schedule III (located on page 23), as appropriate.
Applying the Data From the Income and Expense Schedules
     The tax data, other than depletion, specifically applicable to a Unit holder may be determined by multiplying the appropriate decimal fractions times the number of Units owned. Unit holders who must use the separate monthly income and expense schedules should combine the individual income and expense factors from the monthly schedules for each month during which the Units were owned on a Monthly Record Date. For a worksheet approach to computing these decimal fractions, see the Supplement to Tax Computation Worksheet on page 6.
Computing Depletion
     Depletion schedules are included which provide information for Unit holders to compute cost depletion deductions with respect to their interests in the Trust. To compute depletion for any taxable period, Unit holders should multiply the depletion factor indicated on the relevant schedule times their original tax basis in the respective Unit(s) as reduced by the cost depletion that was allowable as a deduction (whether or not deducted) in prior calendar years during which they owned the Units. A factor for percentage depletion is not included, as cost depletion exceeded the percentage depletion calculated.
(SRT 2006 TAX)

     As discussed at page A-2 in the back portion of this booklet, the composite depletion factors are determined on the basis of a weighted average ratio of current production from each Trust property to the estimated future production from such property. This method of weighting the depletion factors permits the presentation of a single depletion factor for all Unit holders acquiring Units during a period in which there is no substantial change in the relative fair market values of the Trust properties. Primarily as a result of the decline in oil prices which occurred during 1986, there was a change in the relative fair market values of the Trust properties. Accordingly, two mutually exclusive depletion computations are included herein reflecting the composite depletion factors required to compute depletion for Units acquired in 1986.
     The proper depletion schedule to use in computing 2006 depletion depends on the date when the Units were acquired, as described below. Therefore, Unit holders are encouraged to maintain records indicating the date of acquisition and the acquisition price for each Unit or lot of Units acquired.
     Unit holders who acquired Units before 2006 use Depletion Schedule III (located on page 23). The Federal depletion factors in Depletion Schedule III are presented on a cumulative basis for 2006. Depletion Schedule III contains no state-specific depletion factors.
     Unit holders should refer to Schedule II (located on page 22) for the state-specific depletion factors. Unit holders who acquired Units in 2006 use Depletion Schedule I (located on page 22). The Federal depletion factors in Depletion Schedule I are presented on a cumulative and noncumulative basis for 2006. Depletion Schedule I contains no state-specific depletion factors. Unit holders should refer to Schedule II (located on page 22) for the state-specific depletion factors.
     Depletion Schedule II contains state-specific depletion factors, which are presented on a noncumulative basis for all years. These factors are appropriate for use in calculating the 2006 depletion allowance for Units purchased in all years. You may calculate state depletion by either (a) calculating the amount of state depletion for each month and adding together the monthly depletion amounts or (b) adding together the applicable monthly depletion factors for the relevant state to create a composite depletion factor for such state and multiplying that factor by the adjusted basis of your Units. Both methods should produce the same result.
Sale or Exchange of Units
     A discussion concerning the tax consequences associated with the sale or exchange of Units is presented on page A-4 in the back portion of this booklet.
Classification of Investment
     Tax reform measures enacted in 1986 and 1987 require items of income and expense to be categorized as “passive,” “active” or “portfolio” in nature. An explanation of the application of these rules to the items of income and expense reported by the Trust are contained on page A-1 in the back portion of this booklet.
Nonresident Foreign Unit Holders
     Nonresident alien individual and foreign corporation Unit holders (“Foreign Taxpayer(s)”) are subject to special tax rules with respect to their investments in the Trust. These rules are outlined beginning on page A-3 in the back portion of this booklet.
Unrelated Business Taxable Income
     Certain organizations that are generally exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 are subject to federal income tax on certain types of business income defined in
(SRT 2006 TAX)

2


 

Section 512 as unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”). The income of the Trust as to any tax-exempt organization should not be UBTI so long as the Trust units are not “debt-financed property” within the meaning of Section 514(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, a Trust Unit would be debt-financed if the Trust incurs debt or if the tax-exempt organization that is a Trust Unit holder incurs debt to acquire a Trust Unit or otherwise incurs or maintains a debt that would not have been incurred or maintained if the Trust Unit had not been acquired. A real property exception applies to the debt-financed property rules for certain types of exempt organizations. Consult your tax advisor if applicable.
Backup Withholding
     Unit holders, other than Foreign Taxpayers, who have had amounts withheld in 2006 pursuant to the Federal backup withholding provisions should have received a Form 1099-MISC from the Trust. The Form 1099-MISC reflects the total Federal income tax withheld from distributions. Unlike other Forms 1099 that you may receive, the amount reported on the Form 1099-MISC received from the Trust should not be included as additional income in computing taxable income, as such amount is already included in the per Unit income items on the income and expense schedules included herein. The Federal income tax withheld, as reported on the Form 1099-MISC, should be considered as a credit by the Unit holder in computing any Federal income tax liability. Individual Unit holders should include the amount of backup withholding in the Payment section of the Unit holder’s 2006 Form 1040. For a further discussion of backup withholding, see page A-4 in the back portion of this booklet. For amounts withheld from Foreign Taxpayers, see page A-3 in the back portion of this booklet.
State Income Tax
     Since the Trust holds royalty interests and receives income that is attributable to various states, Unit holders may be obligated to file a return and may have a tax liability in states in addition to their state of residence. The accompanying schedules have been prepared in such a manner that income and deductions attributable to the various states may be determined by each Unit holder. State income tax matters are more fully discussed on pages A-4 to A-5 in the back portion of this booklet.

Notes
(1)   In order to correctly calculate total income and expense to be reported on your 2006 Federal and, if applicable, state income tax returns as different factors apply depending on when Units were acquired, it is recommended that you reproduce and complete a separate Tax Computation Worksheet for each block of Units acquired at different times. If more than one Tax Computation Worksheet is required, then the separate amounts from each Tax Computation Worksheet should be added together and those aggregate numbers reported on your 2006 income tax returns.
 
(2)   If you did not become a Unit holder of record of any Unit(s) or did not cease to be a Unit holder of record of any Unit(s) during the period from January 17, 2006 through December 15, 2006, then the amounts reflected on the cumulative schedule for 2006 (located on page 7) should be used to complete Part I. If any Units were held of record for only part of the period defined above, the Supplement to Tax Computation Worksheet on page 6 should be used to derive the income and expense factors to be inserted in column B.
 
(3)   The Trustee believes that individual Unit holders owning the Units as an investment should report the amounts determined in this manner. See Sample Tax Forms on pages 24-27. The U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return (Form 1120) does not require that royalty income and related expenses be separately identified on any specific schedules. See “Sale or Exchange of Units” on page A-4 for a discussion of the tax consequences resulting from the sale of a Unit.
 
(4)   The appropriate depletion schedule(s) to be utilized depends on when the Units were acquired. See “Computing Depletion” on pages 1 and 2 to determine the proper schedule(s) to be used.
 
(5)   Cost depletion allowable in prior calendar years cannot be computed from the schedules contained in this booklet Depletion schedules contained in Sabine Royalty Trust Tax Information Booklet(s) from prior years should be used to determine the appropriate cost depletion amount(s) allowable in prior calendar years.
 
(6)   The adjusted basis is equal to the cost or other basis of the Unit(s) less the cost depletion allowable from the date of acquisition through the date of sale (whether or not deducted).

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
DISCUSSION OF TAX CONSIDERATIONS PERTAINING TO THE
OWNERSHIP OF UNITS IN SABINE ROYALTY TRUST
     The tax law requires individuals, estates, trusts, closely held C corporations and personal service corporations to categorize income and expense into one of three classes, “active,” “portfolio” or “passive”, based upon the nature of the activity and the involvement of the taxpayer in such activity. Since the Trust is a grantor trust, the Unit holders are deemed to hold the investment in the royalty interests directly and the proper classification of the Trust income and expense will be dependent upon the relevant facts and circumstances of each Unit holder. Generally, income or loss resulting from an interest in the Trust is properly classified as portfolio income and as such can be reported as directed on the tax computation worksheet (page 5). However, under certain limited circumstances a different tax classification may be appropriate. Accordingly Unit holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding all tax compliance matters related to the Units.
Tax Background Information
     Sabine received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, dated May 2, 1983 (the “Ruling”), concerning certain tax considerations relevant to the creation and continued existence of the Trust. Pursuant to the Ruling, the Trust is classified for Federal income tax purposes as a “grantor trust” and not as an association taxable as a corporation. A grantor trust is not subject to Federal income tax. Instead, its beneficiaries (the Unit holders in the case of the Trust) are generally considered to own the trust’s income and principal as though no trust were in existence. A grantor trust simply files an information return reflecting all items of income and/or deductions that will be included in the returns of the beneficiaries. Accordingly, each Unit holder of the Trust is taxable on his pro rata share of the Trust’s income and/or deductions.
     The income received or accrued and the deductions paid or incurred by the Trust are deemed to be received or accrued and paid or incurred, respectively, by each Unit holder at the same time as the Trust, which is on each Monthly Record Date. On the basis of both the Trust Agreement and the escrow agreement (discussed below), both cash and accrual basis Unit holders should be considered as realizing income and incurring expenses only on the Monthly Record Dates.
Effect of Escrow Arrangement
     The assets of the Trust include royalty and mineral interests in certain producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas properties (the “Properties”), which constitute economic interests in gross production of oil, gas and other minerals free of the costs of production. The Properties are located in six states and were not carved out of any of Sabine’s working interests in effecting the distribution. In order to facilitate creation of the Trust and avoid the administrative expense and inconvenience of daily reporting to Unit holders, the conveyances by Sabine of the Properties located in all states except Louisiana provided for the execution of an escrow agreement by Sabine. The Trustee now serves as escrow agent. The conveyances by Sabine of the Properties located in Louisiana provided for the execution of a substantially identical escrow agreement by Sabine. Sabine Louisiana Royalty Trust, the sole beneficiary of which is the Trust, was established in order to avoid uncertainty under Louisiana law as to the legality of the Trustee’s holding record title to the Properties located in Louisiana.
     Pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement and the conveyances of the Properties by Sabine, the proceeds of production from the Properties for each calendar month, and interest thereon, are collected by the escrow agent and are paid to and received by the Trust only on the next Monthly Record Date. The escrow agent has agreed to endeavor to assure that it incurs and pays expenses
(SRT 2006 TAX)

A-1


 

for each calendar month only on the Monthly Record Date. The Trust Agreement also provides that the Trustee is to endeavor to assure that income of the Trust will be accrued and received and that expenses of the Trust will be incurred and paid only on each Monthly Record Date. Assuming the escrow arrangement is respected for Federal income tax purposes and the Trustee, as escrow agent, is able to control the timing of income and expenses, as stated above, both cash and accrual basis Unit holders will be treated as realizing income only on each Monthly Record Date. The Trustee is treating the escrow arrangement as effective for tax purposes and the accompanying tax information has been presented accordingly.
     If the escrow arrangement is not respected for Federal income tax purposes, a mismatching of income and deductions could occur between a transferor and a transferee upon the sale or exchange of Units. In addition, the Trustee would be required to report the proceeds from production, interest income thereon, and any deductions to the Unit holders on a daily basis, resulting in a substantial increase in the administrative expenses of the Trust.
Depletion
Cost Depletion
     Pursuant to the Ruling, each Unit holder is entitled to deduct cost depletion with respect to his pro rata interest in the Properties. A Unit holder’s cost depletion deduction is computed by reference to the Unit holder’s adjusted basis in each of his Units.
     The deduction for cost depletion must be computed by a Unit holder with respect to each separate property in the Trust. A Unit holder’s tax basis in each separate property generally must be determined at the time each Unit is acquired by allocating such Unit holder’s cost in each Unit among all properties in the Trust based on their relative fair market values. However, a corporate Unit holder that acquired Units in the distribution from Sabine must determine its tax basis in each separate property in the Trust at the time of the distribution by reference to Sabine’s tax basis in each separate property included in the distribution. The cost depletion deduction attributable to each separate property is calculated for a taxable year by multiplying the tax basis of the property times the appropriate factor reported herein. The factors are derived by dividing total estimated equivalent units of production (barrels of oil and MCF’s of gas) expected to be recovered from the property as of the beginning of the taxable year by the number of equivalent units produced and sold from such property during the taxable year. The resulting deduction for cost depletion cannot exceed the adjusted tax basis in the property. The composite depletion factors presented herein were derived in a manner that encompasses this separate property concept.
Percentage Depletion
     The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990 repealed the rules denying percentage depletion to a transferee of a proven oil or gas property for transfers after October 11, 1990. Since substantially all of the properties were “proven properties” on the date of the original distribution, the percentage depletion deduction has limited applicability to Unit holders who became Unit holders prior to October 12, 1990.
     A computation of percentage depletion has been made with respect to the post October 11, 1990 transfers. However, since cost depletion exceeds any otherwise allocable percentage depletion, percentage depletion factors have not been presented by reference to the number of units a Unit holder owns. Percentage depletion will continue to be computed and compared to cost depletion on an annual basis for applicable transfers occurring after October 11, 1990.

Nonresident Foreign Unit Holders
     Nonresident alien individual and foreign corporation Unit holders (“Foreign Taxpayer(s)”), in general, are subject to tax on the gross income attributable to the Trust at a rate equal to 30 percent (or the lower rate under any applicable treaty) without any deductions. This 30 percent tax applies to U.S. source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Different tax rates and rules apply to income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and those rules are not discussed herein. The 30 percent tax is withheld by the Trust and remitted directly to the United States Treasury. Foreign Taxpayers who have had tax withheld in 2006 should have received a Form 1042-S from the Trust. The Form 1042-S will reflect the total Federal income tax withheld from distributions. To avoid double inclusion, the amount reported on the Form 1042-S should not be included as additional income in computing taxable income, as such amount is already included in the per Unit income items on the income and expense schedules. The Federal income tax withheld, as reported on the Form 1042-S, should be considered as a credit by the Unit holder in computing any Federal income tax liability.
     A Foreign Taxpayer holding income producing real property may elect to treat the income from such real property as effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business. As discussed above, different tax rates and rules apply to Foreign Taxpayers with income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and those rules are not discussed in detail herein. The income attributable to the Properties is considered as income produced from real property. Therefore, this election should be available to Foreign Taxpayers with respect to the taxable income resulting from the ownership of Units. A Unit holder so electing is entitled to claim all deductions with respect to such income, but must file a United States income tax return to claim such deductions. In the case of a Foreign Taxpayer that is a foreign corporation, a “branch profits tax” may be imposed at a 30 percent rate, or a lower rate under an applicable treaty. This election, once made, is generally irrevocable unless an application for revocation is approved by the Internal Revenue Service or an applicable treaty allows the election to be made periodically.
     Pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended (“FIRPTA”), a foreign taxpayer is subject to U.S. income tax with respect to the sale, transfer, or disposition of a United States real property interest. FIRPTA generally treats interests in trusts owning United States real property as United States real property interests. However, Foreign Taxpayers investing in the Trust are not considered to hold U.S. real property interests with respect to the Units since publicly traded, unless such Foreign Taxpayers own a greater than 5% interest in the Trust.
     If the FIRPTA provisions apply, as described in the preceding paragraph, income tax is required to be withheld from any proceeds distributed to Foreign Taxpayers at the rate of 10% of the amount realized by Foreign Taxpayers upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of a Unit; however, no such withholding is required where, as here, the Units in the Trust are publicly traded, unless the exception applies. In addition, distributions, if any, that represent the Foreign Taxpayer’s allocable share of gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of a United States real property interest by the Trust, will generally be subject to withholding tax at a 35% rate. As above, the Federal income tax withheld under FIRPTA should be considered a credit by the Foreign Taxpayer in computing any Federal income tax liabilities.
     In order to avoid withholding under FIRPTA, Foreign Taxpayers will be required to furnish the applicable withholding agent with an exemption certificate certifying why such withholding is not required.
     Foreign Taxpayers are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of their investment in the Trust.
(SRT 2006 TAX)

Sale or Exchange of Units
     Generally, a Unit holder realizes gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of any Unit measured by the difference between the amount realized from the sale or exchange and the adjusted tax basis of such Unit. The adjusted tax basis of a Unit is the original basis of such Unit reduced by depletion deductions allowable (whether deducted or not) with respect to such Unit. Trust income allocable to such Unit to the date of sale is taxable to the selling Unit holder. The purchaser of a Unit is taxable on Trust income allocable to such Unit from the date of purchase forward. For Federal income tax purposes, Trust income should generally be allocable only to the holder of record of a Unit on each Monthly Record Date.
     Gain or loss on the sale of Units by a Unit holder 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 the depletion recapture amount. For Federal income tax purposes, the sale of a Unit will be treated as a sale by a Unit holder of his interest in a royalty interest. Thus, upon the sale of the Units, a Unit holder must treat as ordinary income his depletion recapture amount. Such amount equals the lesser of (1) the gain on such sale attributable to the disposition of the royalty interest, or (2) the sum of the prior depletion deductions taken with respect to the royalty interests (but not in excess of the initial basis of such Units allocated to the royalty interests).
Backup Withholding
     A payer is required under specified circumstances to withhold tax at the rate of 28% on “reportable interest or dividend payments” and “other reportable payments” (including certain oil and gas royalty payments). Generally, this “backup withholding” is required on payments if the payee has failed to furnish the payer a taxpayer identification number or if the payer is notified by the Secretary of the Treasury to withhold taxes on such payments with respect to the payee.
     Amounts withheld by payers pursuant to the backup withholding provisions are remitted to the Internal Revenue Service and are considered a credit against the payee’s Federal income tax liability. If the payee does not incur a Federal income tax liability for the year in which the taxes are withheld, the payee will be required to file the appropriate income tax return to claim a refund of the taxes withheld.
Substantial Understatement Penalty
     Section 6662 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a penalty in certain circumstances for a substantial understatement of taxes if a taxpayer’s tax liability is understated by more than the greater of (a) 10 percent of the taxes required to be shown on the return or (b) $5,000. For most corporations, there is a substantial underpayment when the understatement exceeds the lesser of (a) 10 percent of the tax required to be shown on the return (or, if greater, $10,000) or (b) $10,000,000. The penalty (which is not deductible) is 20 percent of the understatement. No assurance is given either by the Trustee or counsel to the Trustee as to the possible application of this penalty or other penalties, in part because such application depends largely upon the individual circumstances under which such Units were acquired. As a result, purchasers of Units after the Public Offering should consult their personal tax advisers.
State Income Tax
     Unit holders may be required to file state income tax returns and may be liable for state income tax as a result of their ownership of Units. The Properties are located in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The tax information included in this booklet is being presented in a manner to enable Unit holders to compute the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to each of these states. Unit holders will need this information to comply with the state income tax filing requirements in those states imposing a state income tax. The laws pertaining to

income tax in any given state may vary from those of another state and from those applicable to Federal income tax. Accordingly, Unit holders should to consult their own tax advisors concerning state income tax compliance matters relating to ownership of Units.
     The Trustee has been informed that certain states have contacted Unit holders regarding underpayments of the state income tax imposed on the Unit holders’ income from the Trust. Failure by Unit holders to report their state tax liability properly could result in the direct withholding of state taxes from Trust distributions. Accordingly, Unit holders are urged to review carefully the various filing requirements of the states listed below in order to determine if a current or prior year state income tax liability exists as a result of the ownership of Units in the Trust.
     The State of Texas does not impose an individual income tax; therefore, no part of the income attributable to the Trust will be subject to state income tax in Texas. However, corporations (and limited liability companies regardless of how taxed for Federal income tax purposes) doing business in Texas are subject to the Texas franchise tax for tax years through 2006. Beginning with tax year 2007 (and earlier for certain fiscal year taxpayers), the new Texas margin tax applies to almost all entities with liability protection (including trusts, as discussed more fully below). The state of Florida imposes an income tax on resident and nonresident corporations but not individuals. Each of the other states in which the Properties are located imposes an income tax applicable to both resident and nonresident individuals and corporations. Generally, the state income tax in these states is computed as a percentage of taxable income attributable to the particular state. Even though there are variances from state to state, taxable income for state purposes is often computed in a manner similar to the computation of taxable income for Federal income tax purposes.
     All states have not adopted Federal law with respect to the percentage method of computing depletion nor are such methods consistent among the various states. It should be noted, however, that cost depletion generally is allowed by those states indicated above (Unit holders should note that a special depletion rule applies in Oklahoma). Included previously within this booklet is information to assist you in determining the respective allowable cost depletion deductions by state.
Texas Margin Tax
     In May 2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to implement a new margin tax at a rate of 1% to be imposed on gross revenues less certain decductions, as specifically set forth in the new legislation. The new Texas margin tax is a significant change in the Teas tax law as it substantially broadens the types of entities subject to tax. The effective date of the new legislation is January 1, 2008, but the tax generally will be imposed on revenues generated in 2007 and thereafter (earlier for certain fiscal year taxpayers). Entities subject to tax generally include all entities with liability protection, including trusts unless otherwise exempt, and most other types of entities. Trusts that meet certain statutory requirements are generally exempt from the margin tax as “passive entities.” Although the income of the Trust is passive as it consists primarily of royalty income from the sale of crude oil and natural gas, there is currently no clear authority that the Trust satisfies all the margin tax statutory requirements for the exemption for passive entities to apply. Therefore, pending additional legislative action in the 2007 Texas legislative session or the issuance of applicable administrative rules promulgated by the Texas Comptroller, it is uncertain whether the Trust would be exempt from the margin tax as a passive entity or subject to the margin tax at the Trust level. Approximately 65% of the Trust’s royalty income is generated in Texas.
     If the Trust is exempt from the margin tax at the Trust level as a passive entity, each Unit holder that is a taxable entity would generally include its share of the Trust’s revenues in its margin tax computation. If, however, the margin tax is imposed on the Trust at the Trust level, each Unit holder that is a taxable entity would generally exclude its share of the Trust’s revenues from its margin tax calculation.
     Unit holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the type of state income tax returns that may be required and their applicable due dates.
