&#147;Securities Act&#148;). Such forward-looking statements may be or may concern, among other things, capital expenditures, drilling activity, development activities, production efforts and volumes, hydrocarbon prices, estimated future net
revenues, estimates of reserves, the results of the Trust&#146;s activities, and regulatory matters. Such forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148;

the Subject Interests (as defined herein). Such statements also are based on an assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of factors deemed relevant by the Trustee and Hilcorp that involve risks and uncertainties. However, whether actual results
and developments will conform with such expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could affect the future results of the energy industry in general, and the Trust and Hilcorp in particular, and could cause
those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or
effects on Hilcorp&#146;s business and the Trust. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. The Trust undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Hilcorp Information

November&nbsp;1, 1980, between Southland Royalty Company (&#147;Southland&#148;) and The Fort Worth National Bank. Effective as of September&nbsp;30, 2002, the original indenture was amended and restated, and, effective as of December&nbsp;12, 2007,
the restated indenture was amended and restated (such amended and restated indenture, as further amended by the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Royalty Trust Indenture dated February&nbsp;15, 2024, the &#147;Indenture&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of a series of mergers and other transactions, PNC Bank, National Association (&#147;PNC Bank&#148;), served as the previous

to the Net Overriding Royalty Conveyance (the &#147;Conveyance&#148;) effective November&nbsp;1, 1980, Southland conveyed to the Trust a 75% net overriding royalty interest (the &#147;Royalty&#148;) that burdens certain of Southland&#146;s oil and
natural gas interests (the &#147;Subject Interests&#148;) in properties located in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico (the &#147;San Juan Basin&#148;). Subsequent to the Conveyance of the Royalty, through a series of sales, assignments
and mergers, Hilcorp became Southland&#146;s successor. Hilcorp acquired the Subject Interests from Burlington Resources Oil&nbsp;&amp; Gas Company LP (&#147;Burlington&#148;), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, on July&nbsp;31,
2017. The Royalty functions generally as a net profits interest. Under the terms of the Conveyance, the Trust receives royalty income (&#147;Royalty Income&#148;) equal to 75% of Net Proceeds attributable to the Subject Interests. The term &#147;Net
Proceeds,&#148; as used in the Conveyance, means the excess of Gross Proceeds received by Hilcorp during a particular period over production costs for such period. &#147;Gross Proceeds&#148; means the amount received by Hilcorp (or any subsequent
owner of the Subject Interests) from the sale of the production attributable to the Subject Interests, subject to certain adjustments (e.g., fuel, gathering, and transportation). &#147;Production costs&#148; generally means costs incurred on an
accrual basis by Hilcorp in operating the Subject Interests, including both capital and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-capital</FONT> costs. For example, these costs include development drilling, production and processing costs, applicable
taxes and operating charges. However, Hilcorp informed the Trust that, for wells operated by Hilcorp, it generally did not intend to accrue lease operating expenses to the Trust. If production costs exceed Gross Proceeds in any month, the excess is
recovered out of future Gross Proceeds prior to the making of further payment to the Trust. The Trust is not otherwise liable for any production costs or other costs or liabilities attributable to the Subject Interests or the minerals produced
therefrom. If at any time the Trust receives more than the amount due under the Royalty, it is not obligated to return such overpayment, but the amounts payable to it for any subsequent period are reduced by such amount, plus interest, at a rate
specified in the Conveyance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Royalty constitutes the principal asset of the Trust. The Trust&#146;s beneficial interest in the
Royalty is divided into 46,608,796 units (the &#147;Units&#148;) representing undivided fractional interests in the beneficial interest of the Trust equal to the number of shares of the common stock of Southland outstanding as of the close of

Southland then held. Holders of Units are referred to herein as &#147;Unit Holders.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, 98.4% of the
Trust&#146;s estimated proved reserves consisted of natural gas reserves, and 97.5% of the Gross Proceeds from the Subject Interests in 2023 were attributable to the production and sale of natural gas by Hilcorp as well as other proceeds.
Accordingly, the market price for natural gas produced and sold from the San Juan Basin heavily influences the amount of Trust income available for distribution to the Unit Holders by the Trust and, by extension, the price of the Units. The market
price paid for natural gas is seasonal because there is greater demand for natural gas used for heating purposes in the winter months and more energy requirements for air conditioning in the summer months than during the rest of the year. </P>

Trustee is to collect the Royalty Income, to pay all expenses and charges of the Trust and to distribute the remaining available income to the Unit Holders. The Trust received approximately $53.2&nbsp;million and $79.0&nbsp;million in Royalty Income
from Hilcorp in each of the fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. After deducting administrative expenses and accounting for interest income and any change in cash reserves, the Trust distributed approximately
$51.6&nbsp;million and $77.6&nbsp;million to Unit Holders in each of the fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Trust&#146;s corpus was approximately $2.8&nbsp;million and $3.0&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2023
and 2022, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Proceeds from production in the first month are generally received by Hilcorp in the second month, the Royalty
Income is paid by Hilcorp to the Trustee in the third month, and distribution by the Trustee to the Unit Holders is made in the fourth month. Unit Holders of record as of the last business day of each month (the &#147;monthly record date&#148;) will
be entitled to receive the calculated monthly distribution amount for such month on or before ten business days after the monthly record date. The amount of each monthly distribution will generally be determined and announced ten days before the
monthly record date. The aggregate monthly distribution amount is the excess of (i)&nbsp;the Royalty Income paid to the Trustee, plus any decrease in cash reserves previously established for liabilities and contingencies of the Trust, over
(ii)&nbsp;the expenses and payments of liabilities of the Trust, plus any net increase in cash reserves. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee may, in its sole
discretion, establish a cash reserve for payment of Trust liabilities that are contingent or uncertain or otherwise not currently due and payable. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, the Trustee had established cash reserves of $1.0&nbsp;million. The
Trustee anticipates increasing the established amount of cash reserves to $2.0&nbsp;million in 2024, in response to the substantial increase in capital expenditures projected by Hilcorp for 2024 and the potential that such increase materially
reduces or eliminates distributions to the Trust for a period of time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cash being held by the Trustee as cash reserves or pending
distribution may be placed, per the Trustee&#146;s discretion, in obligations issued by (or unconditionally guaranteed by) the United States or any agency thereof, repurchase agreements secured by obligations issued by the United States or any
agency thereof, certificates of deposit of banks having capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $50.0&nbsp;million or money market funds that have been rated at least AAm by Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s and at least Aa by
Moody&#146;s, subject, in each case, to certain other qualifying conditions. Currently, such funds are placed in interest-bearing money market accounts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The other powers and duties of the Trustee are set forth in the Indenture and include the prosecution and defense of claims by and against the
Trust, the engagement of consultants and professionals and the payment of Trust liabilities. If the Trustee determines that the Trust does not have sufficient funds to pay its liabilities, the Trustee may borrow funds on behalf of the Trust, in
which case no distributions will be made to Unit Holders until such borrowings are repaid in full. The Trustee may not sell or dispose of any part of the assets of the Trust without the affirmative vote from the Unit Holders of 75% of all of the
Units outstanding; however, the Trustee </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, a company will be considered to be out of compliance with the exchange&#146;s minimum
price requirement if the company&#146;s average closing price over a consecutive 30 trading day period (&#147;Average Closing Price&#148;) is less than $1.00 (the &#147;Minimum Price Requirement&#148;). Under NYSE rules, a company that is out of
compliance with the Minimum Price Requirement has a cure period of six months to regain compliance if it notifies the NYSE within 10 business days of receiving a deficiency notice of its intention to cure the deficiency. A company may regain
compliance if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-trading-day</FONT></FONT> period ending on the last trading day of that month. If at the expiration of the cure period, both a $1.00 closing share price on the last trading day of the cure period and a $1.00 average
closing share price over the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-trading-day</FONT></FONT> period ending on the last trading day of the cure period are not attained, the NYSE will commence suspension and delisting
procedures. If delisted by the NYSE, a company&#146;s shares may be transferred to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> (&#147;OTC&#148;) market, a significantly more limited market
than the NYSE, which could affect the market price, trading volume, liquidity and resale price of such shares. Securities that trade on the OTC markets also typically experience more volatility compared to securities that trade on a national
securities exchange. During the cure period, the company&#146;s shares would continue to trade on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The trading price for publicly traded securities similar to the Trust Units tends to be tied to recent and expected levels of cash
distributions as well as oil and natural gas prices. The amounts available for distribution by the Trust vary in response to numerous factors outside the control of the Trust, including prevailing prices for sales of oil and natural gas production
from the properties underlying the Subject Interests and the timing and amount of direct operating expenses and development expenses. Consequently, the market price for the Trust Units may not necessarily be indicative of the value that the Trust
would realize if it sold the Royalty to a third-party buyer. In addition, such market price may not necessarily reflect the fact that, since the assets of the Trust are depleting assets, a portion of each cash distribution paid with respect to the
Trust Units should be considered by investors as a return of capital, with the remainder being considered as a return on investment. As a result, distributions made to a Trust Unit Holder over the life of these depleting assets may not equal or
exceed the purchase price paid by the Trust Unit Holder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The limited liability of Trust Unit Holders is uncertain. </I></B></P>

corporation&#146;s liabilities. The structure of the Trust does not include the interposition of a limited liability entity such as a corporation or limited partnership which would provide further limited liability protection to Trust Unit Holders.
While the Trustee is liable for any excess liabilities incurred if the Trustee fails to ensure that such liabilities are to be satisfied only out of Trust assets, under the laws of Texas, which are unsettled on this point, a Unit Holder may be
jointly and severally liable for any liability of the Trust if the satisfaction of such liability was not contractually limited to the assets of the Trust and the assets of the Trust and the Trustee are not adequate to satisfy such liability. As a
result, Trust Unit Holders may be exposed to personal liability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">LEGAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND REGULATORY RISKS </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Governments around the world are considering actions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing both the supply of and the
demand for oil and natural gas products or the promotion of alternative energy sources. These include the adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, trade tariffs, minimum renewable usage requirements, restrictive permitting, increased mileage
and other efficiency standards, mandates for sales of electric vehicles, mandates for use of specific fuels or technologies, and other incentives or mandates designed to support transitioning to lower-emission energy sources. Political and other

and the United States formally rejoined the Paris Agreement on February&nbsp;19, 2021. At the federal regulatory level, both the EPA and the Bureau of Land Management (&#147;BLM&#148;) have adopted regulations for the control of methane emissions,
which also include leak detection and repair requirements, from the oil and gas industry. Additionally, President Biden has issued an executive order seeking to adopt new regulations and policies to address climate change and suspend, revise or
rescind prior agency actions that are identified as conflicting with the Biden Administration&#146;s climate policies. In addition, President Biden has declared that he supports federal government efforts to limit or prohibit hydraulic fracturing
and banning new leases for production of minerals on federal properties, including onshore lands. Any of these actions could require Hilcorp to increase capital expenditures for the Subject Interests, decrease demand for natural gas and oil
production, or limit the Subject Interests&#146; ability to produce natural gas or oil production. The Trust is unable to determine what, if any, the effects of such actions will have on the Subject Interests&#146; ability to produce natural gas and

undertaken by President Biden&#146;s administration to curtail future leases for natural gas and oil drilling on federally owned land will impact the Subject Interests because, at the present time, they do not impact current leases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Biden administration announced in September 2023 that it has moved to shut down future development of oil, gas and mining activity on
approximately 4,200 acres in Sandoval County, New Mexico for the next 50 years. Hilcorp has informed the Trust that the proposed tracts are not within the production area of the Subject Interests or part of any future proposed development plans.

underlying the Trust&#146;s Subject Interest to supply products, demand for their products, or the competitiveness of hydrocarbon-based products, which in turn, could reduce net proceeds to the Trust. Any policy that increases the costs for
operators of the properties underlying the Subject Interests or decreased market prices could have a material impact on the distributable income of the Trust. </P>

recent years there has been increased public concern regarding an alleged potential for hydraulic fracturing to adversely affect drinking water supplies and to induce seismic events. As a result, from time to time, legislation has been introduced,
but not enacted, in Congress to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. In the event that new federal restrictions relating to the hydraulic

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp has informed the Trust that all of the subject acreage is held by production, and
even though it has not been fully developed in every formation, Hilcorp has classified all of such acreage as developed. Production from conventional natural gas wells is primarily from the Pictured Cliffs, Mesaverde and Dakota formations, ranging
in depth from 1,500 to 8,000 feet. Additional production is attributable to coal seam reserves in the Fruitland Coal formation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Coal seam
natural gas constituted approximately 10.6% of the Trust&#146;s proved natural gas reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2023. The process of removing coal seam natural gas is often referred to as degasification or desorption. Millions of years ago,
natural gas was generated in the process of coal formation and absorbed into the coal. Water later filled the natural fracture system. When the water is removed from the natural fracture system, reservoir pressure is lowered, and the natural gas
desorbs from the coal. The desorbed natural gas then flows through the fracture system and is produced at the well bore. The volume of formation water production typically declines with time and the natural gas production may increase for a period
of time before starting to decline. Typically, the volumes of natural gas produced from a Coal Seam Well decline more rapidly than those of Conventional Wells. In order to dispose of the formation water, surface facilities including pumping units
are required. The price of coal seam natural gas is typically lower than the price of conventional natural gas. This is because the heating value of coal seam natural gas is much lower than that of conventional natural gas due to (i)&nbsp;ever
increasing percentages of carbon dioxide in coal seam natural gas (carbon dioxide has no heating value), and (ii)&nbsp;the absence of heavier hydrocarbons such as ethanes, propanes, and butanes, which are present in conventional natural gas.
Furthermore, the production costs and processing fees for coal seam natural gas are typically higher than the processing fees for conventional natural gas due to the cost of extracting the carbon dioxide. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Royalty conveyed to the Trust is limited to the base of the Dakota formation, which is currently the deepest significant producing
formation under acreage affected by the Royalty. Rights to production, if any, from deeper formations are retained by Hilcorp. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>2024

project plan for the Subject Interests (the &#147;2024 Plan&#148;), and Hilcorp has estimated its 2024 capital expenditures for the Subject Interests to be $36.0&nbsp;million. This plan was updated on March&nbsp;6, 2024, with a reduction of
approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, bringing the total estimate of 2024 capital expenditures to $34.0&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp informed the
Trust that its 2024 Plan will allocate approximately $25.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget toward two drilling projects in the Mancos formation. Approximately $8.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to 36 well
recompletions and workovers scheduled to be completed in the Mesaverde and Fruitland Coal formations. Approximately $1.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to facilities projects related to natural gas compression. Hilcorp
further informed the Trust that its planned project status for 2024 is subject to revision if Hilcorp revises its assumptions underlying the 2024 Plan, in which event the actual capital costs may vary from these estimates. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex and requires significant judgment. The Trust, however, does not have the same
level of information that generally would be available to a company with oil and natural gas operations because detailed information generally is not available to owners of royalty interests. Thus, the Trustee relies upon accumulated information and
data solely provided by Hilcorp regarding the Royalty derived from the Subject Interests and provides such information for the Trust&#146;s auditing purposes to Cawley, Gillespie&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc. (&#147;CG&amp;A&#148;). CG&amp;A
extrapolates from such Hilcorp-provided information estimates of the reserves attributable to the Subject Interests based on its expertise in the oil and natural gas fields where the Subject Interests are situated, as well as other publicly
available information, and provides the results to the Trust. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trust maintains internal controls and procedures applicable to reserve
estimation, which are reviewed annually and updated as required, and the Trust reviews the reserve reports prepared by CG&amp;A for reasonableness. The Trust&#146;s internal controls and procedures regarding reserve estimates require proved reserves
to be determined and disclosed in compliance with SEC definitions and guidance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Third-Party Reserves </I></B></P>

transportation and resale of natural gas in interstate commerce, historically, have been regulated pursuant to several laws enacted by Congress and the regulations promulgated under these laws by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(&#147;FERC&#148;) and its predecessor.&nbsp;In the past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which natural gas could be sold in interstate commerce.&nbsp;Congress removed all price and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-price</FONT> controls affecting wellhead sales of natural gas under the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act effective January&nbsp;1, 1993.&nbsp;Congress could, however, reenact controls in the future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any transportation of crude oil, natural gas liquids and purity components (ethane, propane, butane,
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">iso-butane,</FONT> and natural gasoline) by rail is also subject to regulation by the DOT&#146;s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (&#147;PHMSA&#148;) and the DOT&#146;s Federal Railroad
Administration (&#147;FRA&#148;) under the Hazardous Materials Regulations at 49 CFR Parts <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">171-180</FONT> (&#147;HMR&#148;), including Emergency Orders by the FRA and new regulations being proposed by the PHMSA,

are affected by the availability, terms, and cost of transportation. The price and terms for pipeline transportation remain subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Several major regulatory changes have been implemented by Congress and
FERC from 1985 to the present that affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation, and sales. In addition, FERC continues to promulgate revisions to various aspects of the rules and regulations affecting those segments of the natural
gas industry, most notably interstate natural gas transmission companies, that remain subject to FERC&#146;s jurisdiction. These initiatives may also affect the intrastate transportation of gas under certain circumstances. The stated purpose of many
of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional proposals and
proceedings that might affect the natural gas industry are considered from time to time by Congress, FERC, state regulatory bodies and the courts. The Trust cannot predict when or if any such proposals might become effective, or their effect, if
any, on the Trust. The natural gas industry historically has been very heavily regulated; therefore, there is no assurance that the less stringent regulatory approach to natural gas sales pursued since 1993 by FERC and Congress will continue. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sales of crude oil, condensate and gas liquids are not currently regulated and are made at market prices.&nbsp;The ability to transport and

amended, and comparable state statutes and regulations promulgated thereunder, affect oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities by imposing requirements regarding the generation, transportation, treatment, storage,
disposal and cleanup of hazardous and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-hazardous</FONT> wastes. With federal approval, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more
stringent requirements. Although most wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas are exempt from regulation as hazardous wastes under RCRA and its state analogs, it is possible that some wastes the
operators of the Subject Interests generate presently or in the future could be subject to regulation under RCRA and state analogs.<I></I><I>&nbsp;</I>Legislation has been proposed from time to time in Congress to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-categorize</FONT> certain oil and natural gas exploration, development and production wastes as &#147;hazardous wastes.&#148; If the EPA proposes a rulemaking for revised oil and gas waste regulations in the
future, any such changes in the laws and regulations could have a resulting increase in production costs that may affect the amount of Royalty and Royalty Income that is paid to the Trust by Hilcorp or subsequent operators of the Subject Interests.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Cleanup.</I>&nbsp;Under certain environmental laws and regulations, the operators of the Subject Interests could be subject to strict,
joint and several liability for the removal or remediation of property contamination, whether at a drill site or a waste disposal facility, even when the operators did not cause the contamination, or their activities were in compliance with all
applicable laws at the time the actions were taken. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (&#147;CERCLA&#148;), also known as the &#147;superfund&#148; law, for example, imposes liability, regardless of fault or
the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons for releases into the environment of a &#147;hazardous substance.&#148; Liable persons may include the current or previous owner and operator of a site where a hazardous substance
has been disposed and persons who arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance at a site. Under CERCLA and similar statutes, government authorities or private parties may take actions in response to threats to the public health or the
environment and sue responsible persons for the associated costs; government authorities also may direct responsible persons to implement cleanup measures. Although CERCLA excludes &#147;petroleum&#148; from the definition of hazardous substance, in
the course of operations, the working interest owner and/or the operator of Subject Interests may have generated and may generate materials that fall outside of this exclusion and that could trigger cleanup liabilities. In addition, the Subject
Interests have produced oil and/or natural gas for many years, and previous operators may have disposed or released hydrocarbons, wastes or hazardous substances at the Subject Interests. The operator of the Subject Interests or the working interest
owners may be responsible for all or part of the costs to clean up any such contamination. Although the Trust is not the operator of any Subject Interests, or the owner of any working interest, its ownership of the Royalty could cause it to be
responsible for all or part of such costs to the extent CERCLA, or any similar statute, imposes responsibility on such parties as &#147;owners.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Water Discharges.</I>&nbsp;The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended, also known as the Clean Water Act
(&#147;CWA&#148;), the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (&#147;OPA&#148;), and analogous state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder impose restrictions and strict controls regarding the unauthorized discharge of
pollutants, including produced waters and other gas and oil wastes, into waters of the United States (&#147;WOTUS&#148;), as well as state waters for analogous state programs. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except
in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or applicable state analog. The CWA and regulations implemented thereunder also prohibit the discharge of dredge and fill material into regulated waters, including jurisdictional wetlands,
unless authorized by an appropriately issued permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the &#147;Corps&#148;). In May 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court&#146;s decision in <I>Sackett v. EPA</I> narrowed federal jurisdiction over wetlands to
&#147;traditional navigable waters&#148; and wetlands or other waters that have a &#147;continuous surface connection&#148; with or are otherwise indistinguishable from traditional navigable water. In September 2023, the EPA and the Corps published
a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">direct-to-final</FONT></FONT> rule that conforms the regulatory definition of WOTUS to the Supreme Court&#146;s May 2023 decision in <I>Sackett</I>. In the wake of the
<I>Sackett</I> decision, several states have developed their own wetlands policies or regulatory programs to address discharges to intra-state waters that may no longer be regulated as WOTUS. </P>

legislation proposed by the United States Congress and certain states. Some states have adopted climate change statutes and regulations, and the Biden Administration has pursued executive actions to address climate change. At the international
level, the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (&#147;UNFCCC&#148;) resulted in nearly 200 countries, including the United States, coming together to develop the Paris Agreement, intended to
nationally determine their contributions and set greenhouse gas (&#147;GHG&#148;) emission reduction goals every five years beginning in 2020. In February 2021, as a party to the Paris Agreement, the U.S. announced a target to achieve a 50% to 52%
reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide GHG emissions by 2030. Accordingly, the Biden administration has set ambitious domestic targets for curbing climate change, such as making the U.S. power sector climate neutral by 2035 and achieving a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">net-zero</FONT> emissions economy by 2050. In addition, in September 2021, President Biden publicly announced the Global Methane Pledge, a pact that aims to reduce global methane emissions at least 30% below 2020 levels by
2030, including &#147;all feasible reductions&#148; in the energy sector.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Inflation Reduction Act (&#147;IRA&#148;) was signed into
law in August 2022 and contains many provisions that address climate change by creating incentives to use alternative fuels and sources of energy: Methane Emissions and Waste Reduction Incentive Program, which requires the EPA to impose a
&#147;waste emissions charge&#148; on certain natural gas and oil sources that are already required to report under the EPA&#146;s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. To implement the program, the IRA requires revisions to GHG reporting regulations
for petroleum and natural gas systems (Subpart W) by 2024. In July 2023, the EPA proposed to expand the scope of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program for petroleum and natural gas facilities, as required by the IRA. Among other things, the proposed
rule would expand the emissions events that are subject to reporting requirements to include &#147;other large release events&#148; and apply reporting requirements to certain new sources and sectors. The rule is expected to be finalized in the
spring of 2024 and become effective on January&nbsp;1, 2025, in advance of the deadline for GHG reporting for 2024 (March 2025). The fee imposed under the Methane Emissions and Waste Reduction Incentive Program for 2024 would be $900 per ton emitted
over annual methane emissions thresholds, and would increase to $1,200 in 2025, and $1,500 in 2026. The Methane Emissions Reduction Program in the IRA (Sec. 60113) also gives the Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;) the ability to
impose charges on methane emitted by certain oil and gas companies. The charges will start in 2024 and apply to facilities that emit over 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent unless exemptions are available. Funding under the IRA also
provides grant money for methane and greenhouse gas emission mitigation activities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IRA aims to reduce U.S. GHG emissions by
approximately 40% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels and put the United States on course for its commitment to attain a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">net-zero</FONT> economy by 2050. In addition, many state and local governments have intensified

climate commitments and treaties, in addition to developing programs that are aimed at reducing GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs, carbon taxes, the development of greenhouse gas
inventories or encouraging the use of renewable energy or alternative <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-carbon</FONT> fuels. The impact such regulation may have on the amount of Royalty and Royalty Income paid to the Trust by Hilcorp or
subsequent operators of the Subject Interests is difficult to predict. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, federal agencies are building upon their existing
programs, like those governed by the Clean Air Act, as amended (the &#147;CAA&#148;), to impose new climate controls. In 2009, EPA issued an &#147;Endangerment Finding&#148; under Section&nbsp;202(a) of the CAA, concluding GHG pollution threatens
the public health and welfare of future generations. And EPA has required annual reporting of GHG for persons operating certain types of industrial facilities, including oil and natural gas production, transmission and storage operations that emit
25,000 metric tons or more of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. The data collected through the reporting rules has helped to provide a basis for promulgating GHG emission limits. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Air Emissions.</I><I></I>&nbsp;The CAA and comparable state and local laws and regulations, regulate emissions of various air pollutants
through the issuance of permits and the imposition of other requirements. The EPA has developed, and continues to develop, stringent regulations governing emissions of air pollutants at specified sources. New facilities may be required to obtain
permits before work can begin, and modified and existing facilities may be required to obtain additional permits. As a result, operators may need to incur capital costs in order to remain in compliance. Obtaining or renewing permits also has the
potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties and seek injunctive relief for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliance</FONT>
with air permits or other requirements of the CAA and associated state laws and regulations. The operators of the Subject Interests are responsible for maintaining compliance with all applicable air emissions regulations and holding all necessary
and valid construction and operating permits for operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A number of those rules have addressed emissions from the oil and gas
industry. On August&nbsp;16, 2012, for example, the EPA issued a final rule that established new source performance standards for volatile organic compounds (&#147;VOCs&#148;) and sulfur dioxide, an air toxics standard for sources of oil and natural
gas production, and an air toxics standard for sources of natural gas transmission and storage. That rule generally required all hydraulically fractured or refractured natural gas wells to be completed using
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">so-called</FONT> &#147;green completion&#148; technology, which significantly reduces VOC emissions. Limiting those emissions of VOCs has the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-benefit</FONT> of also limiting
methane, a greenhouse gas. These regulations, referred to as New Source Performance Standards (&#147;NSPS&#148;) Subpart OOOO, also apply to storage tanks and other equipment in the affected oil and natural gas industry segments. In May 2016, EPA
issued a suite of new final regulations, referred to as NSPS Subpart OOOOa, designed to limit methane, VOCs, and other emissions from new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas sector. Among other things, these rules applied green
completion requirements to newly fractured and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-fractured</FONT> oil wells. Rulemaking concerning regulation of greenhouse gas and other emissions from the oil and natural gas industry continues. In December 2023,
EPA finalized new rules for oil and gas sources that would (i)&nbsp;ensure all wells are routinely monitored for leaks, (ii)&nbsp;encourage use of innovative and advanced monitoring, (iii)&nbsp;impose strengthened emission standards for certain
equipment, and (iv)&nbsp;require states to reduce methane emissions from existing sources. The final rule gives states, along with federal tribes that wish to regulate existing sources, two years to develop and submit their plans for reducing
methane emissions from existing sources. The final emissions guidelines under Subpart OOOOc provide three years from the plan submission deadline for existing sources to comply. States have also begun to regulate through their New Source Performance
Standards (&#147;NSPS&#148;) and other air emissions programs the emission of VOCs and methane from oil and gas production process equipment, storage tanks and produced water impoundments and other assets. The ultimate scope of these regulations
remains uncertain; however, any resulting increase in production costs may affect the amount of Royalty and Royalty Income that is paid to the Trust by Hilcorp or subsequent operators of the Subject Interests. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The oil and gas industry also is likely to be indirectly affected by EPA rulemakings covering other industry sectors. For example, in 2015 EPA

limits on U.S. power plants. In the Trump Administration, EPA replaced the Clean Power Plan with the Affordable Clean Energy rule, which interpreted the Clean Air Act as limiting the scope of the
federal government&#146;s authority to establishing only source-specific (or &#147;inside the fence line&#148;) emissions reduction requirements for coal-fired power plants. The D.C. Circuit vacated the Affordable Clean Energy rule, but the Supreme
Court reversed the vacatur and ruled the Clean Power Plan was invalid. On May&nbsp;11, 2023, the EPA issued a proposed rulemaking to replace the Affordable Clean Energy rule with new standards governing emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants <FONT

GHG emissions and incentivize alternative energy sources. Adoption of any such requirements could reduce demand for oil and gas generally, including oil and natural gas produced from the Subject Interests, and could increase the cost of operations
of the Subject Interests, which could result in a loss of reserves or revenues to the Trust. The impact such regulation may have on the amount of Royalty and Royalty Income paid to the Trust by Hilcorp or subsequent operators of the Subject
Interests is difficult to predict. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;20, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order that reversed the United
States&#146; withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, and the United States formally rejoined the Paris Agreement on February&nbsp;19, 2021. At the federal regulatory level, both the EPA and the Bureau of Land Management (&#147;BLM&#148;) have adopted
regulations for the control of methane emissions, which also include leak detection and repair requirements, from the oil and gas industry. Additionally, President Biden has issued an executive order seeking to adopt new regulations and policies to
address climate change and suspend, revise or rescind prior agency actions that are identified as conflicting with the Biden Administration&#146;s climate policies. In addition, President Biden has declared that he supports federal government
efforts to limit or prohibit hydraulic fracturing and banning new leases for production of minerals on federal properties, including onshore lands. Any of these actions could require Hilcorp to increase capital expenditures for the Subject
Interests, decrease demand for natural gas and oil production, or limit the Subject Interests&#146; ability to produce natural gas or oil production. The Trust is unable to determine what, if any, the effects of such actions will have on the Subject
Interests&#146; ability to produce natural gas and oil, and Hilcorp&#146;s ability to pay Royalty Income to the Trust. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp has
informed the Trust that it does not believe that actions undertaken by President Biden&#146;s administration to curtail future leases for natural gas and oil drilling on federally owned land will impact the Subject Interests because, at the present
time, they do not impact current leases. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Biden administration announced in September 2023 that it has moved to shut down future
development of oil, gas and mining activity on approximately 4,200 acres in Sandoval County, New Mexico for the next 50&nbsp;years. Hilcorp has informed the Trust that the proposed tracts are not within the production area of the Subject Interests
or part of any future proposed development plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Certain Tax Considerations </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The classification of the Trust&#146;s income for purposes of the passive loss rules may be important to a Unit Holder. As a result of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, royalty income such as that derived through the Trust will generally be treated as portfolio income that may not be offset or reduced by passive losses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee has been informed that the New Mexico Oil and Gas Proceeds and Pass-Through Entity Withholding Tax Act (the &#147;Withholding Tax
Act&#148;) requires remitters who pay certain oil and natural gas proceeds from production on New Mexico wells to withhold income taxes from such proceeds in the case of certain nonresident recipients. The Trustee, on advice of New Mexico counsel,
has observed that &#147;net profits interests&#148; (such as the Royalty) and other types of interests (the extent of which cannot be determined with respect to a specific share of the oil and natural gas production), as well as amounts deducted
from payments that are for expenses related to oil and natural gas production, are excluded from the withholding requirements of the Withholding Tax Act. Unit Holders should consult with their individual tax advisors regarding the applicability of
the Withholding Tax Act and other tax matters to distributions received from the Trust by a Unit Holder. </P>

Proceeds for production from the Subject Interests decreased from an average price for natural gas of $5.54 per Mcf in 2022 to $4.69 per Mcf in 2023. The price for oil Gross Proceeds decreased from an average price of $86.73 per Bbl in 2022 to
$66.34 per Bbl in 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount of Gross Proceeds depends on the volumes of natural gas and oil produced from the Subject Interests.
Under the terms of the Indenture, the Trust cannot acquire new natural gas and oil assets, and, as a result, Royalty Income is dependent on the natural gas and oil volumes attributable to the Subject Interests. Although Hilcorp and other operators
of the Subject Interests may conduct drilling operations or well recompletions in the near term, the Subject Interests are depleting assets; Hilcorp has informed the Trust that it is unable to estimate the productive life of the Subject Interests.
The reduction in proved reserve quantities is a common measure of depletion. Hilcorp&#146;s (or a future operator&#146;s) capital investments in the Subject Interests will affect the quantity of proved reserves and can offset any reduction in proved
reserves. Lower commodity prices may also cause Hilcorp to reduce drilling operations, workover, and/or recompletions, thus reducing the volume of natural gas and oil produced from the Subject Interests. Hilcorp did not conduct any new drill
projects within the Subject Interests in 2023 or 2022; however, it did conduct 20 recompletes and workovers in 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February 16,
2024, the Trust announced that Hilcorp had provided the Trust with its 2024 capital project plan for the Subject Interests (the &#147;2024 Plan&#148;), and Hilcorp has estimated its 2024 capital expenditures for the Subject Interests to be
$36.0&nbsp;million. This plan was updated on March&nbsp;6, 2024, with a reduction of approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, bringing the total estimate of 2024 capital expenditures to $34.0&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp informed the Trust that its 2024 Plan will allocate approximately $25.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget toward two
drilling projects in the Mancos formation. Approximately $8.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to 36 well recompletions and workovers scheduled to be completed in the Mesaverde and Fruitland Coal formations.
Approximately $1.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to facilities projects related to natural gas compression. Hilcorp further informed the Trust that its planned project status for 2024 is subject to revision if Hilcorp
revises its assumptions underlying the 2024 Plan, in which event the actual capital costs may vary from these estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms
of the Conveyance, production costs are deducted from Gross Proceeds in calculating Royalty Income. &#147;Production costs&#148; generally means costs incurred on an accrual basis by Hilcorp in operating the Subject Interests, including both capital
and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-capital</FONT> costs. For example, these costs include development drilling, production and processing costs, applicable taxes and operating charges. However, Hilcorp informed the Trust that, for wells
operated by Hilcorp, it generally did not intend to accrue lease operating expenses to the Trust. If production costs exceed Gross Proceeds in any month, the excess is recovered out of future Gross Proceeds prior to the making of further payment to
the Trust, but the Trust is not otherwise liable for any production costs or other costs or liabilities attributable to the Subject Interests or the minerals produced therefrom. If at any time the Trust receives more than the amount due under the
Royalty, it is not obligated to return such overpayment, but the amounts payable to it for any subsequent period are reduced by such amount, plus interest, at a rate specified in the Conveyance. The Trust and the Trustee has very limited authority
to control the amount and timing of production costs. </P>

expenditures projected by Hilcorp for 2024 (under Hilcorp&#146;s 2024 Plan) and the potential that such increase materially reduces or eliminates distributions to the Trust for a period of time. </P>

Trust. Hilcorp informed the Trust that it completed the transition to its new accounting system and began to report actual, not estimated, revenue and expenses for operated wells beginning with the June 2021 production month (August 2021 reporting
month). Hilcorp&#146;s process of reconciling actual revenue and severance taxes to the previously reported estimates, and the reversal and rebooking of the actualized revenues for 2021 production months for
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operated</FONT> properties, was completed in the February and March 2022 reporting months. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During
2022, various adjustments were made for the 2021 and 2022 production periods as a result of Hilcorp&#146;s process review of the new accounting system. Hilcorp has informed the Trustee that it has implemented additional controls to enhance the
reporting process and reduce the need for future corrections. Hilcorp has indicated that it will coordinate with the Trustee on the timing of any further adjustments, following which the Trustee will communicate that timing to investors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In January 2023, Hilcorp notified the Trust that the accounting project, begun in 2021 to review the production volume allocations for 2017
through 2020, had been completed. These reallocations affected the volumes for many of the Trust properties and may result in future revisions to previously reported revenues and severance taxes. On February&nbsp;17, 2023, Hilcorp presented initial
proposed adjustments for 2017 revenues. The Trustee continues to engage with Hilcorp regarding its ongoing accounting and reporting to the Trust, and the Trust&#146;s third-party compliance auditors continue to audit payments made by Hilcorp to the
Trust, inclusive of sales revenues, production costs, capital expenditures, adjustments, actualizations, and recoupments. The Trust&#146;s auditing process has also included detailed analysis of Hilcorp&#146;s pricing and rates charged. As
previously disclosed in the Trust&#146;s filings, these revenues and costs (along with all costs) are the subject of the Trust&#146;s ongoing comprehensive audit process by the Trust&#146;s professional consultants and outside counsel to ensure full
compliance with all the underlying operative Trust agreements and evaluating all available remedies in the event there is evidence <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">of&nbsp;non-compliance.</FONT> </P>

several different categories of expenses (specifically offsite labor, overhead, operator-owned compressors and saltwater disposal facilities) for the years 2017 through 2020 were identified that the Trustee believed resulted in an underpayment of
royalties owed to the Trust for those years. The Trustee engaged in extensive discussions with Hilcorp regarding these exceptions that culminated in Hilcorp&#146;s payment of the sum of $1,037,093.45, which included the accumulated interest incurred
as a result of the underpayment. The audit settlement payment was included in the September 2023 distribution to Unit Holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trust&#146;s principal source of liquidity and capital is Royalty Income. The Trust&#146;s distribution of income to Unit Holders is funded
by Royalty Income after payment of Trust expenses. The Trust is not liable for any production costs or liabilities attributable to the Royalty. If at any time the Trust receives more than the amount due under the Royalty, it is not obligated to
return such overpayment, but the amounts payable to it for any subsequent period are reduced by such amount, plus interest, at a rate specified in the Conveyance. If the Trustee determines that the Trust does not have sufficient funds to pay its
liabilities, the Trustee may borrow funds on behalf of the Trust, in which case no distributions will be made to Unit Holders until such borrowings are repaid in full. The Trustee may not sell or dispose of any part of the assets of the Trust
without the affirmative vote of the Unit Holders of 75% of all the Units outstanding; however, the Trustee may sell up to 1% of the value of the Royalty (as determined pursuant to the Indenture) during any
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> period without the consent of the Unit Holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event the Trust does not receive
sufficient Royalty Income from Hilcorp, the Trust believes it has sufficient capacity to draw upon the cash reserve amount or borrow funds against the Royalty to cover the Trust&#146;s operating expenses for the following <FONT

were $1.0&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2022 and 2023. The Trustee is authorized to determine in its discretion the amount of cash reserves needed to pay liabilities and contingencies of the Trust. The Trustee anticipates increasing the
established amount of cash reserves to $2.0&nbsp;million in 2024, in response to the substantial increase in capital expenditures projected by Hilcorp for 2024 (under Hilcorp&#146;s 2024 Plan) and the potential that such increase materially reduces

&#147;2024 Plan&#148;), and Hilcorp has estimated its 2024 capital expenditures for the Subject Interests to be $36.0&nbsp;million. This plan was updated on March&nbsp;6, 2024, with a reduction of approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, bringing the total
estimate of 2024 capital expenditures to $34.0&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp informed the Trust that its 2024 Plan will allocate approximately
$25.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget toward two drilling projects in the Mancos formation. Approximately $8.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to 36 well recompletions and workovers scheduled to be completed
in the Mesaverde and Fruitland Coal formations. Approximately $1.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to facilities projects related to natural gas compression. Hilcorp further informed the Trust that its planned project
status for 2024 is subject to revision if Hilcorp revises its assumptions underlying the 2024 Plan, in which event the actual capital costs may vary from these estimates. </P>

payable to the Trustee. Under the Indenture, the Trustee is entitled to an administrative fee for its administrative services and the preparation of quarterly and annual statements, computed as (i) 1/20 of 1% of the first $100.0&nbsp;million of the
annual gross revenue of the Trust, and 1/30 of 1% of the annual gross revenue of the Trust in excess of $100&nbsp;million and (ii)&nbsp;the Trustee&#146;s standard hourly rates for time in excess of 300 hours annually. The minimum administrative fee

reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. </P>

principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P>

properties located in the San Juan Basin. Subsequent to the Conveyance of the Royalty, through a series of sales, assignments and mergers, Southland&#146;s successor became Hilcorp, which acquired the Subject Interests from Burlington on
July&nbsp;31, 2017. Burlington is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips. Through an acquisition completed on March&nbsp;24, 2006, Compass Bank succeeded TexasBank as trustee of the Trust. On September&nbsp;7, 2007, Compass
Bancshares, Inc. was acquired by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (&#147;BBVA&#148;) and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBVA. Effective June&nbsp;10, 2019, Compass Bank changed its name to BBVA USA. On June&nbsp;1, 2021, The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc. (&#147;PNC&#148;) announced that it had completed the purchase of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., a financial holding company, including its U.S. banking subsidiary, BBVA USA, an Alabama-chartered bank and trustee of the Trust

accounting pronouncements apply to entities whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, directing such entities to accrue or defer revenues and expenses in a period other than when such revenues were received or expenses were
paid. Because the Trust&#146;s financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis, as described above, most accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the Trust&#146;s financial statements. This comprehensive basis of accounting
corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee routinely reviews its royalty interests in oil and gas properties for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an impairment event occurs and it is determined that the carrying value of the Trust&#146;s royalty interests may not be recoverable, an
impairment will be recognized as measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the royalty interests exceeds the fair value of these assets, which would likely be measured by discounting projected cash flows and recorded as a reduction of
trust corpus. There was no impairment of the assets as of December&nbsp;31, 2023 or 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>4.&#8195;Federal Income Taxes </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust which is taxed as a Grantor Trust. A Grantor Trust is not
subject to tax at the trust level. The Unit Holders are considered to own the Trust&#146;s income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each Unit Holder at the time
such income is received or accrued by the Trust rather than when distributed by the Trust. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trust is a WHFIT classified as a NMWHFIT
for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee is the representative of the Trust that will provide tax information in accordance with the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT
and a NMWHFIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Royalty constitutes an &#147;economic interest&#148; in oil and natural gas properties for federal income tax
purposes. Unit Holders must report their share of the production revenues of the Trust as ordinary income from oil and natural gas royalties and are entitled to claim depletion with respect to such income. The Royalty is treated as a single property
for depletion purposes. The Trust has on file technical advice memoranda confirming such tax treatment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under present law, the
Trust&#146;s production and sale of natural gas from Coal Seam Wells does not qualify for tax credit under Section&nbsp;45K of the Code (the &#147;Section&nbsp;45 Tax Credit&#148;). Congress has at various times since 2002 considered energy
legislation, including provisions to reinstate the Section&nbsp;45 Tax Credit in various ways and to various extents, but no legislation that would qualify the Trust&#146;s current production for such credit has been enacted. No prediction can be
made as to what future tax legislation affecting Section&nbsp;45K of the Code may be proposed or enacted or, if enacted, its impact, if any, on the Trust and the Unit Holders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The classification of the Trust&#146;s income for purposes of the passive loss rules may be important to a Unit Holder. As a result of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, royalty income such as that derived through the Trust will generally be treated as portfolio income that may not be offset or reduced by passive losses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Tax positions taken by the Trust related to the Trust&#146;s pass-through status and state tax positions have been reviewed, and the Trustee
is of the opinion that material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained by examination. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, the Trust&#146;s tax years 2020 and thereafter remain subject to examination. </P>

prior years because capital expenditures are deducted in calculating Royalty Income in the month they accrue and projects within a given year&#146;s budget often extend into subsequent years. Further, Hilcorp&#146;s accounting period for capital
expenditures runs from January through December&nbsp;31 of each calendar year, which corresponds and is reported in Trust Distribution months March of the same calendar year through February of the following calendar year. In addition, with respect
to wells not operated by Hilcorp, Hilcorp&#146;s share of capital expenditures may not be paid until the following year(s) after those expenses were incurred by the operator. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Hilcorp&#146;s 2023 capital expenditures plan for the Subject Interests estimated capital expenditures of $4.4&nbsp;million for well
recompletions and workovers, for facility projects primarily related to natural gas compression, and for permitting and surveying costs for future new drill projects. Actual capital expenditures of approximately $2.2&nbsp;million were included in
calculating royalty income paid to the Trust in calendar year 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February 16, 2024, the Trust announced that Hilcorp had provided
the Trust with its 2024 capital project plan for the Subject Interests (the &#147;2024 Plan&#148;), and Hilcorp has estimated its 2024 capital expenditures for the Subject Interests to be $36.0&nbsp;million. This plan was updated on March&nbsp;6,
2024, with a reduction of approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, bringing the total estimate of 2024 capital expenditures to $34.0&nbsp;million. Hilcorp informed the Trust that its 2024 Plan will allocate approximately $25.0&nbsp;million of the 2024
Plan&#146;s budget toward two drilling projects in the Mancos formation. Approximately $8.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to 36 well recompletions and workovers scheduled to be completed in the Mesaverde and Fruitland
Coal formations. Approximately $1.0&nbsp;million of the 2024 Plan&#146;s budget will be allocated to facilities projects related to natural gas compression. Hilcorp further informed the Trust that its planned project status for 2024 is subject to
revision if Hilcorp revises its assumptions underlying the 2024 Plan, in which event the actual capital costs may vary from these estimates. </P>

government regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing
wells with existing equipment and operating methods in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, such estimates are
subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of these reserves may be substantially different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily from new information
obtained from development drilling and production history and from changes in economic factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table presents a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trust maintains a system of internal disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that the information required to be
disclosed in the Trust&#146;s filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the times specified in the SEC&#146;s rules and forms. In its evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Trustee has
relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by Hilcorp, the owner of the properties. Consequently, the Trust&#146;s ability to timely and accurately disclose relevant information in its periodic reports is dependent upon
Hilcorp&#146;s timely delivery of accurate oil and gas revenue and production cost information and, therefore, the Royalty Income owed to the Trust. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Conveyance that transferred the royalty to the Trust obligates Hilcorp to provide the Trust with certain financial and operational
information, including information concerning calculations of Royalty Income owed to the Trust. Once the Trust receives the financial information from Hilcorp, the Trust engages independent public accountants, compliance auditors, attorneys and
petroleum engineers in order to assist the Trustee to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information required to be disclosed in the Trust&#146;s periodic reports. These outside professionals advise the Trustee in its review and compilation
of this information for inclusion in this Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and the other periodic reports provided by the Trust to the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During 2022, various adjustments were made for 2021 and 2022 production periods as a result of Hilcorp&#146;s process review of the new
accounting system. Hilcorp has informed the Trustee that it has implemented additional controls to enhance the reporting process and reduce the need for future corrections. Hilcorp has indicated that it will coordinate with the Trustee on the timing
of any further adjustments and will communicate that timing to investors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee continues to engage with Hilcorp regarding its
ongoing accounting and reporting to the Trust, and the Trust&#146;s third-party compliance auditors continue to audit payments made by Hilcorp to the Trust, inclusive of sales revenues, production costs, capital expenditures, adjustments,
actualizations, and recoupments. The Trust&#146;s auditing process has also included detailed analysis of Hilcorp&#146;s pricing and rates charged. As previously disclosed in the Trust&#146;s filings, these revenues and costs (along with all costs)
are the subject of the Trust&#146;s ongoing comprehensive audit process by the Trust&#146;s professional consultants and outside counsel to ensure full compliance with all the underlying operative Trust agreements and evaluating all available
potential remedies in the event there is evidence <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">of&nbsp;non-compliance.</FONT> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee has
evaluated the Trust&#146;s internal disclosure controls and procedures as of December&nbsp;31, 2023, and has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the &#147;reasonable assurance&#148; level (as such term is used in
Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13a-15(f)</FONT> of the Exchange Act), to ensure that material information received from Hilcorp is gathered on a timely basis to be included in the Trust&#146;s periodic reports and recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC&#146;s rules and forms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, during the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2023, there were no changes to the Trust&#146;s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is used in Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13a-15(f)</FONT> of the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Because the Trust does not have, nor does the Indenture provide for, officers, a board of directors or an independent audit committee, the Trustee
has reviewed neither the Trust&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures nor the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial reporting in concert with management, a board of directors or an independent audit committee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Trustee is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Trust&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Trustee to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Trust&#146;s financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, the Trustee assessed the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial reporting based on
the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in &#147;<I>Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework</I>,&#148; issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework).
Based on the assessment, the Trustee determined that the Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2023, based on those criteria. </P>

fair market value by Cawley, Gillespie&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As to the assumptions, methods and procedures used in connection with
the preparation of this report, prices were forecast in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines using average annual prices of $2.637 per MMBtu (Henry Hub) and $78.22 per barrel (WTI Cushing). Gas price adjustments were
specified by property with values ranging from 0.40 to 2.54. The adjusted volume-weighted average gas price over the life of the properties is $2.50 per Mcf. The above oil price was adjusted for an overall differential of -$10.63 per barrel. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Operating expenses and capital costs were based on an analysis of data provided by Hilcorp Energy. Operating expenses include direct lease
operating expenses and administrative overhead. Investments include drilling costs, work-over costs and production equipment costs. Severance taxes were forecast as 12.1% of gas revenue and 10.9% of oil revenue. Neither expenses nor investments were
escalated. The cost of plugging and the salvage value of equipment have not been considered. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The proved reserve classifications conform
to criteria of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The estimates of reserves in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and disclosure guidelines set forth in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Title 17,
Code of Federal Regulations, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, Final Rule released January&nbsp;14, 2009 in the Federal Register (SEC regulations). The reserves and economics are predicated on the regulatory agency classifications, rules,
policies, laws, taxes and royalties in effect on the effective date except as noted herein. The possible effects of changes in legislation or other Federal or State restrictive actions have not been considered. The reserves were estimated using a
combination of the production performance, volumetric and analogy methods, in each case as we considered appropriate and necessary to establish the conclusions set forth herein. All reserve estimates represent our best judgment based on data
available at the time of preparation and assumptions as to future economic and regulatory conditions. Due to the inherent uncertainties of reserves estimates, it should be realized that the reserves actually recovered, the revenue derived therefrom
and the actual cost incurred could be more or less than the estimated amounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reserve estimates were based on interpretations of
factual data furnished by Hilcorp Energy and the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust. Liquid and gas price information, cost and expense history, subject wells and ownership were supplied by Hilcorp Energy and were accepted as furnished. To some extent,
information from public records has been used to check and/or supplement these data. The basic engineering and geological data were utilized subject to third party reservations and qualifications. Nothing has come to our attention, however, that
would cause us to believe that we are not justified in relying on such data. An <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-site</FONT> inspection of these properties has not been made nor have the wells been tested by Cawley, Gillespie&nbsp;&amp;
