ROYALTY AGREEMENT, UNALLOCATED RESERVE AND DISTRIBUTIONS |
UNALLOCATED RESERVE AND DISTRIBUTIONS | NOTE 4 - UNALLOCATED RESERVE AND DISTRIBUTIONS ​ Each quarter, as authorized by the Agreement of Trust, the Trustees will reevaluate all relevant factors including all costs, expenses, obligations, and present and future liabilities of the Trust (whether known or contingent) in determining a prudent level of unallocated reserve in light of the unpredictable nature of the iron ore industry, current economic conditions and the current communications from Cliffs as it relates to NMC. The actual amount of the Unallocated Reserve will fluctuate from time to time and may increase or decrease from its current level. Accordingly, although the actual amount of the Unallocated Reserve will fluctuate from time to time, and may increase or decrease from its current level, it is currently expected that future distributions will be highly dependent upon royalty payments received quarterly and the level of Trust expenses that the Trustees anticipate occurring in subsequent quarters. ​ As of January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2024, the unallocated cash and cash equivalents portion of the Trust’s Unallocated Reserve consisted of the following components: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | January 31, 2025 | ​ | January 31, 2024 | ​
Cash and cash equivalents | ​ | $ | 100,204,531 | ​ | $ | 23,980,448 | ​
Distribution payable | ​ |  | (78,064,060) | ​ |  | (4,854,404) | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Unallocated cash and cash equivalents | ​ | $ | 22,140,471 | ​ | $ | 19,126,044 | ​
​ A reconciliation of the Trust’s Unallocated Reserve from January 31, 2024 to January 31, 2025 is as follows: ​

​ The Trustees determine the level of distributions on a quarterly basis after receiving notification from NMC as to the amount of royalty income that will be received and after determination of any known or anticipated expenses, liabilities and obligations of the Trust. Future distributions may vary depending upon the adjustments to royalty income, which are determined by NMC, and the level of Trust expenses that the Trustees anticipate occurring in subsequent quarters. ​ During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Trustees distributed cash payments totaling $17,712,013 ($1.35 per Unit), $4,592,003 ($0.35 per Unit), respectively. In addition, in January 2025, the Trustees declared a distribution of $5.95 per Unit of beneficial interest payable in February 2025.
