</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;28, 2008, the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;) issued a press release, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1, announcing that it has received notice from
Burlington Resources Oil &#038; Gas, L.P. (&#147;Burlington&#148;), the principal operator of the properties
subject to the Trust&#146;s net overriding royalty interest, of the termination of two of the three
contracts for the purchase of gas produced from the properties. Burlington currently sells the gas
to ChevronTexaco, Coral Energy Resources, L.P., and PNM Gas Services under contracts which permit
either party to terminate on 12&nbsp;months&#146; notice to the other. Both ChevronTexaco and Coral have
elected to terminate effective as of March&nbsp;31, 2009. The remaining contract with PNM has been
automatically extended through March&nbsp;31, 2010.

</DIV>



<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FORT WORTH, Texas, April&nbsp;28, 2008  &#151;  Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin Royalty
Trust (NYSE:SJT), today reported that it has received notice of the termination of two of the three
contracts for the purchase of gas produced from the properties subject to its net overriding
royalty interest. Gas produced from these properties is currently being sold by Burlington
Resources Oil &#038; Gas, L.P., the principal operator of the properties, to ChevronTexaco, Coral Energy
Resources, L.P., and PNM Gas Services under contracts which permit either party to terminate on 12
months&#146; notice to the other. Both ChevronTexaco and Coral have elected to terminate effective as
of March&nbsp;31, 2009. Burlington will circulate requests for proposals to potential purchasers of the
packages of gas covered by those contracts. The remaining contract with PNM has been automatically
extended through March&nbsp;31, 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust has filed a suit against Burlington in a cause styled <U>San Juan Basin Royalty
Trust vs. Burlington Resources Oil &#038; Gas, L.P.</U>, No.&nbsp;D1329-CV-08-751, in the District Court of
Sandoval County, New Mexico, 13th Judicial District, alleging breach of contract and breach of the
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Trust seeks a judgment for damages in the amount of
$5,025,000, plus interest and punitive damages. The litigation relates to an arbitration award in
favor of the Trust issued in November&nbsp;2005 in the amount of $7,683,699. The purpose of the
arbitration was to resolve certain joint interest audit issues. The arbitrator ruled in favor of
the Trust on all five of the issues submitted to arbitration. Burlington filed suit in Harris
County, Texas alleging that the award should be modified or vacated. The trial court denied
Burlington&#146;s motion to vacate, granted the Trust&#146;s application to confirm and rendered a final
judgment in favor of the Trust. Burlington paid the award as it related to four of the five issues
and appealed the award as to the fifth. In August, 2007 the appellate court reversed the judgment
of the trial court and vacated the award as it related to the unpaid balance. With respect to that
fifth issue, the Trust had asked for damages based on either of two alternative claims. The
appellate court ruled that the alternative claim selected by the arbitrator in awarding the Trust
approximately $5,000,000 was not technically included within the scope of what the parties intended
to submit to arbitration. The appellate court did not rule on whether or not the arbitrator
properly decided the fifth issue in favor of the Trust. The new litigation seeks recovery on the
claim which had been resolved in favor of the Trust by the arbitrator.
