<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FORT WORTH, Texas, December&nbsp;19, 2008  &#151;  Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin
Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of
beneficial interest of $7,293,978.54 or $0.156494 per unit, based principally upon production
during the month of October&nbsp;2008, but also including $1,180,398 of revenue for the production month
of February&nbsp;2008 and $378,870 allocated to the Trust in the settlement of four compliance audit
issues. The distribution is payable January&nbsp;15, 2009, to unit holders of record as of December&nbsp;31,
2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved (the &#147;Underlying
Properties&#148;) totaled approximately 3,388,619 Mcf (3,599,249 MMBtu), including 336,050 Mcf (285,520
MMBtu) attributable to the February&nbsp;2008 production month. Dividing revenues by production volume
yielded an average gas price for October&nbsp;2008 of $4.78 per Mcf ($4.50 per MMBtu) as compared to
$6.98 per Mcf ($6.45 per MMBtu) for September&nbsp;2008. The average gas price may vary significantly
from the posted index price for the San Juan Basin. The index price is a gross sales price, and
the revenues used in the calculation of average gas prices are net of transportation, processing
and gathering costs. Furthermore, the distribution to the Trust in any given month may include
significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect pricing for those prior
months. Capital costs for the month were $1,970,039. Lease operating expenses were $3,151,909 and
taxes were $1,593,912.
