response to your comment, please refer to our most recent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 filed on October 25,
2010 for an example of the enhanced narrative.&#160;&#160;Under Item 2,
Trustee&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis, on pages 10-11 we expanded the narrative to
include the quantification of the factors that contributed to the change in net
profits income for the quarter and nine-month period.&#160;&#160;The quarter
narrative read as follows:&#160;&#160;&#8220;For the quarter ended September&#160;30,
2010, net profits income was $4,142,789 compared to $2,894,511 for third quarter
2009. This 43% increase in net profits income is primarily the result of higher
oil and gas prices ($1.1 million), recovery of excess costs, plus accrued
interest on the Texas and Oklahoma working interest properties in 2009 ($0.3
million) and increased gas volumes ($0.3 million), partially offset by decreased
oil volumes ($0.3 million).&#8221;</font></div>
