certain producing oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field of Kansas, the San Juan Basin field of New&nbsp;Mexico and Colorado and the Yellow Creek field of Wyoming (the "Royalty
Properties"). The Royalty is evidenced by counterparts of an Overriding Royalty Conveyance dated as of November&nbsp;1, 1979 (the "Conveyance"). On April&nbsp;30, 1991, MLP sold its interests in
the Royalty Properties located in the San&nbsp;Juan Basin field to ConocoPhillips. ConocoPhillips sold most of its interests in the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in Colorado to
MarkWest Energy Partners,&nbsp;Ltd. (effective January&nbsp;1, 1993) and Red Willow Production Company (effective April&nbsp;1, 1992). On October&nbsp;26, 1994, MarkWest Energy
Partners,&nbsp;Ltd. sold substantially all of its interest in the Colorado San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties to BP&nbsp;Amoco Company ("BP"), a subsidiary of BP&nbsp;p.l.c. Until
August&nbsp;7, 1997, MESA&nbsp;Inc. operated the Hugoton Royalty Properties through Mesa Operating&nbsp;Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of MESA&nbsp;Inc. On August&nbsp;7, 1997,
MESA&nbsp;Inc. merged with and into Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of MESA&nbsp;Inc., and Parker&nbsp;&amp; Parsley Petroleum Company merged with
and into Pioneer Natural Resources
USA,&nbsp;Inc. (successor to Mesa Operating&nbsp;Co.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer ("PNR") (collectively, the mergers are referred to herein as the "Merger"). Subsequent to the Merger,
the Hugoton Royalty Properties have been operated by PNR. Substantially all of the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in New&nbsp;Mexico are operated by ConocoPhillips. Substantially
all of the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in Colorado are operated by BP. As used in this report, PNR refers to the operator of the Hugoton Royalty Properties, ConocoPhillips refers
to the operator of the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties, other than the portion of such properties located in Colorado, and BP refers to the operator of the Colorado San&nbsp;Juan Basin
Royalty Properties unless otherwise indicated. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Note&nbsp;2&#151;Basis of Presentation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited financial information has been prepared by the Trustee in accordance with the instructions to
Form&nbsp;10-Q. The preparation of the financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trustee believes
such information includes all the disclosures necessary to make the information presented not misleading. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Trustee,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Trust's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
accordance with the instruments conveying the Royalty, the Working Interest Owners will calculate and pay the Trust each month an amount equal to 90% of the Net Proceeds (as defined
in the Conveyance) attributable to the month. In 1985, the Trust Indenture was amended and the Trust conveyed to an affiliate of Mesa Petroleum&nbsp;Co. 88.5571% of the original Royalty (such
transfer, the "1985 Assignment"). The effect of the 1985 Assignment was an overall reduction of approximately 88.56% in the size of the Trust. As a result, the Trust is now entitled to receive 11.44%
of 90% of the Net Proceeds attributable to each month. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization
of the Royalty is computed on a unit-of-production basis and is charged directly to trust corpus since such amount does not affect distributable
income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royalty
income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by the Working Interest Owners to the Trustee for such month rather than either the value of a
portion of the oil and gas produced by the Working Interest Owners for such month or the amount subsequently determined to be the Trust's proportionate share of the net proceeds for such month; </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest
income, interest receivable and distributions payable to unitholders include interest to be earned on short-term investments from the financial

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
basis for reporting distributable income is considered to be the most meaningful because distributions to the unitholders for a month are based on net cash receipts for such month.
However, these statements differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America because under such principles, royalty
income for a month would be based on net proceeds from production for such month without regard to when calculated or received and interest income for a month would be calculated only through the end
of such month. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Note&nbsp;3&#151;Legal Proceedings  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Trust is a named party. The Trustee has been advised by PNR, ConocoPhillips and
BP&nbsp;Amoco that it is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business for certain matters that include the Royalty Properties. While each of the working interest owners has advised the
Trustee that it does not currently believe any of the pending litigation will have a material adverse effect net to the Trust, in the event such matters were adjudicated or settled in a material
amount and charges were made against Royalty income, such charges could have a material impact of future Royalty income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Note&nbsp;4&#151;Income Tax Matters  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In a technical advice memorandum dated February&nbsp;26, 1982, the IRS advised the Dallas District Director that the Trust is
classifiable as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation. As a grantor trust, the Trust will incur no federal income tax liability. In addition, there is no state income tax
liability for the period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trustee assumes that some Trust Units are held by a middleman, as such term is broadly defined in U.S.&nbsp;Treasury Regulations (and includes custodians, nominees, certain joint
owners, and brokers holding an interest for a custodian in street name). Therefore, the Trustee considers the Trust to be a non-mortgage widely held fixed investment trust ("WHFIT") for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. Bank of New&nbsp;York Mellon Trust Company,&nbsp;N.A., 919&nbsp;Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas&nbsp;78701, telephone
number&nbsp;1-800-852-1422, is the representative of the Trust that will provide tax information in accordance with applicable U.S.&nbsp;Treasury Regulations
governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following review of the Trust's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto. The discussion of net production attributable to the Hugoton and San&nbsp;Juan properties represents production volumes that are to a large extent hypothetical as the
Trust does not own and is not entitled to any specific production volumes. See Note&nbsp;7 to the financial statements in the Trust's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008. Any discussion of "actual" production volumes represents the hydrocarbons that were produced from the properties in which the Trust has an overriding royalty interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust is a passive entity whose purposes are limited to: (1)&nbsp;converting the Royalties to cash, either by retaining them and collecting the proceeds of production (until
production has ceased or the Royalties are otherwise terminated) or by selling or otherwise disposing of the Royalties; and (2)&nbsp;distributing such cash, net of amounts for payments of
liabilities to the Trust, to the unitholders. The Trust has no sources of liquidity or capital resources other than the revenues, if any, attributable to the Royalties and interest on cash held by the
Trustee as a reserve for liabilities or for distribution. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Form&nbsp;10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form&nbsp;10-Q,
including without limitation the statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements. Although the Working Interest
Owners have advised the Trust that they believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in this Form&nbsp;10-Q and in the
Trust's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, including under "Item&nbsp;1A. Risk Factors". All subsequent written and oral forward-looking

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Hugoton Field  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natural gas and natural gas liquids production attributable to the Royalty from the Hugoton field accounted for approximately 46% of
the Royalty income of the Trust during the first quarter of 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PNR
has advised the Trust that since June&nbsp;1, 1995 natural gas produced from the Hugoton field has generally been sold under short-term and multi-month contracts at
market clearing prices to multiple purchasers recently including Greely Gas and Oneok Gas Marketing,&nbsp;Inc. PNR has advised the Trust that it expects to continue to market gas production from the
Hugoton field under short-term and multi-month contracts. As discussed below, overall market prices received for natural gas from the Hugoton Royalty Properties were significantly lower in
the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
June 1994, PNR entered into a Gas Transportation Agreement ("Gas Transportation Agreement") with Western Resources,&nbsp;Inc. ("WRI") for a primary term of five years commencing
June&nbsp;1, 1995. This contract has renewed on a year-to-year basis being effective June&nbsp;1, 2001. PNR extended the contract to June&nbsp;1, 2010. Pursuant to the
Gas Transportation Agreement, WRI
agreed to compress and transport up to 160 MMcf per day of gas and redeliver such gas to PNR at the inlet of PNR's Satanta Plant. PNR agreed to pay WRI a fee of $0.06 per Mcf escalating 4% annually as
of June&nbsp;1, 1996. This Gas Transportation Agreement was assigned to Kansas Gas Service ("Oneok"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royalty
income attributable to the Hugoton Royalty decreased to $525,477 in the first quarter of 2009, from $1,191,689 in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to decreases in natural
gas and natural gas liquid prices from the Hugoton Royalty Properties, and increased capital and operating expenditures. The average price received in the first quarter of 2009 for natural gas and
natural gas liquids sold from the Hugoton Royalty Properties was $4.12 per Mcf and $38.90 per barrel, respectively, as compared to $6.05 per Mcf and $58.83 per barrel, respectively, in the first
quarter of 2008. Net </FONT></P>

of natural gas attributable to the Hugoton Royalty decreased to 83,091 Mcf in the first quarter of 2009 from 126,326 Mcf in the first quarter of 2008. Net production of natural gas liquids
attributable to the Hugoton Royalty decreased from 7,288 barrels in the first quarter of 2008 to 4,708 barrels in the first quarter of 2009. Actual production volumes from the Hugoton properties
increased to 170,203 Mcf of natural gas and 9,478 barrels of natural gas liquids in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 164,476 Mcf of natural gas and 9,459 barrels of natural gas liquids for the
same period in 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Hugoton capital expenditures were $154,614 in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately 798% as compared to $17,215 in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in
capital expenditures was primarily due to increased drilling activity. Operating costs were $389,371 in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately 13% as compared to $343,320 in the first
quarter of 2008. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher rates charged by service providers. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> San Juan Basin  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royalty income from the San Juan Basin Royalty Properties is calculated and paid to the Trust on a
state-by-state basis. Substantially all of the royalty income from the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties is attributable to the Royalty Properties located in the state
of New&nbsp;Mexico. The Royalty income from the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in the state of New&nbsp;Mexico was $596,107 during the first quarter of 2009 as compared with
Royalty income of $1,511,505 in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in Royalty income was due primarily to lower natural gas and natural gas liquids prices in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
the first quarter of 2008 offset in part by decreased capital and operating costs. Net production
attributable to the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty located in New&nbsp;Mexico was 113,027 Mcf of natural gas and 7,586 barrels of natural gas liquids in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to
137,168 Mcf of natural gas and 12,724 barrels of natural gas liquids in the first quarter of 2008. The average price received in the first quarter of 2009 for natural gas and natural gas liquids sold
from the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located in the state of New&nbsp;Mexico was $3.74 per Mcf and $22.86 per barrel, respectively, compared to $5.66 per Mcf and $57.51 per barrel
during the same period in 2008. Actual production volumes of natural gas attributable to the San&nbsp;Juan Basin properties located in the state of New Mexico increased to 214,735 Mcf in the first
quarter of 2009 as compared to 210,660 Mcf of natural gas for the same period in 2008. Actual production volumes of natural gas liquids attributable to the San Juan Basin properties located in the
state of New&nbsp;Mexico decreased to 14,598 barrels in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 17,416 barrels for the same period in 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital
expenditures on these properties were $208,274 in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of approximately 29% as compared to $293,316 in the first quarter of 2008, primarily due
to decreased developmental drilling. Operating costs were $332,820 in the first quarter 2009, a decrease of approximately 22% as compared to $424,529 in the first quarter of 2008 due to decreased
repair and maintenance activity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Trust's interest in the San Juan Basin was conveyed from PNR's working interest in 31,328 net producing acres in northwestern New&nbsp;Mexico and southwestern Colorado.
Substantially all of the natural gas produced from the San&nbsp;Juan Basin is currently being sold on the spot market. </FONT></P>

through November&nbsp;2006, totaled $1,280,412. In December&nbsp;2006, BP remitted $978,349 for payment of undistributed earnings from January&nbsp;2005 through October&nbsp;2006 and
November&nbsp;2006 earnings for the San&nbsp;Juan properties it operates. In July&nbsp;2007, Red&nbsp;Willow remitted $159,497 for payment of undistributed earnings from January&nbsp;2005
through December&nbsp;2006 for the properties it operates. BP communicated to the Trust these distributions represent all of the previously unpaid revenues. The Trustee is currently investigating
the $142,566 difference in the original estimate of unpaid proceeds of $1,280,412 and the payment of $1,137,846. Since Royalty income for the Trust is recorded on a cash basis, the earnings for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 were not recognized as income until the quarters ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 and September&nbsp;30, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royalty
income from the San Juan Basin&#151;Colorado Royalty Properties was $13,190 during the first quarter of 2009, compared to $181,314 during the first quarter of 2008. The
decrease in Royalty income was due to lower commodity prices and higher operating cost in the first quarter of 2009. Net production attributable to the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Royalty Properties located
in Colorado was 4,518 Mcf of natural gas during the first quarter of 2009 with 36,037 Mcf of natural gas attributable to the Trust during the first quarter of 2008. The average price received in the
first quarter of 2009 for natural gas sold from the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Colorado Properties was $2.85, as compared to average price of $4.88 for the first quarter of 2008. Actual production volumes
attributable to the San&nbsp;Juan Basin Colorado Properties decreased to 38,301 Mcf of natural gas in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 39,873 Mcf of natural gas for the same period in 2008.
Royalty income reported from BP is net of pre-main line production costs. These costs were charged to the Trust in error and as a result the Royalty income for previous periods was
reduced. Because Royalty income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by BP, the additional Royalties, if any, will not be recorded until received by the Trust. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating
costs on these properties were $98,137 in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately 428% as compared to $18,571 in the first quarter of 2008 due to an increase in
drilling charges.  </FONT></P>

information
required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in
the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated by the working interest owners to The Bank of New&nbsp;York Mellon Trust Company,&nbsp;N.A., as Trustee
