</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust&#146;s Indenture (the &#147;Indenture&#148;) provides that the trustee is to distribute all cash in
the Trust, less an amount reserved for the payment of accrued liabilities and estimated future
expenses, to unitholders on the 28<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> day of March, June, September and December of each
year. If the 28<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the distribution is
payable on the immediately succeeding business day.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As stated under &#147;Accounting Policies&#148; above, the financial statements in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q are the condensed and consolidated account balances of the Trust and MPC. However,
distributable income is paid from the account balances of the Trust. Distributable income is
comprised of (i)&nbsp;royalties from offshore Texas leases owned directly by the Trust, (ii)&nbsp;98% of the
royalties received from offshore Louisiana leases owned by MPC, which are retained by and delivered
to the Trust on a quarterly basis, (iii)&nbsp;cash distributions from the Trust&#146;s interest in Tidelands
Royalty Trust &#147;B&#148; (&#147;Tidelands&#148;), a separate publicly traded royalty trust, (iv)&nbsp;dividends paid by
MPC, less (v)&nbsp;administrative expenses and taxes incurred by the Trust. Distributions fluctuate
from quarter to quarter primarily due to changes in oil and natural gas prices and production
quantities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust is a royalty trust that was created in 1956 under the laws of the State of Texas.
U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management serves as corporate trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;).
The Indenture provides that the term of Trust will expire on June&nbsp;1, 2021, unless extended by the
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding units of beneficial interest. The Trust is
not permitted to engage in any business activity because it was organized for the sole purpose of
providing an efficient, orderly, and practical means for the administration and liquidation of
rights to payments from certain oil and natural gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, pursuant to
license agreements and amendments between the Trust&#146;s predecessors and Gulf Oil Corporation
(&#147;Gulf&#148;). As a result of various transactions that have occurred since 1956, the Gulf interests
now are held by Chevron Corporation (&#147;Chevron&#148;), Elf Exploration, Inc. (&#147;Elf&#148;), and their
assignees. The Trust holds title to interests in properties that are situated offshore of Texas.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust&#146;s wholly-owned subsidiary, MPC, holds title to interests in properties that are
situated offshore of Louisiana because at the time the Trust was created, trusts could not hold
these interests under Louisiana law. MPC is prohibited from engaging in a trade or business and
does only those things necessary for the administration and liquidation of its properties.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine&#146;s rights are generally referred to as overriding royalty interests in the oil and
natural gas industry. An overriding royalty interest is created by an assignment by the owner of a
working interest in an oil or gas lease. The royalty rights associated with an overriding royalty
interest terminate when the underlying lease terminates. All production and marketing functions
are conducted by the working interest owners of the leases. Income from overriding royalties is
paid to Marine either (i)&nbsp;on the basis of the selling price of oil, natural gas and other minerals
produced, saved and sold, or (ii)&nbsp;at the value at the wellhead as determined by industry standards,
when the selling price does not reflect the value at the wellhead.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trustee assumes that some units of beneficial interest are held by middlemen, as such term
is broadly defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations (and includes custodians, nominees, certain joint
owners, and brokers holding an interest for a customer in street name). Therefore, the Trustee
considers the Trust to be a widely held fixed investment trust (&#147;WHFIT&#148;) for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes. Accordingly, the Trust will provide tax information in accordance with applicable
U.S. Treasury Regulations governing the information reporting requirements of the Trust as a WHFIT.
The representative of the Trust that will provide the required information is U.S. Trust, Bank of
America Private Wealth Management and the contact information for the representative is as follows:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the limited purpose of the Trust as stated in the Trust&#146;s Indenture, there is no
requirement for capital. The Trust&#146;s only obligation is to distribute to unitholders the
distributable income actually collected. As an administrator of oil and natural gas royalty
properties, the Trust collects royalties monthly, pays administration expenses, and disburses all
net royalties collected to its unitholders each quarter.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust&#146;s Indenture (and MPC&#146;s charter and by-laws) expressly prohibits the operation of any
kind of trade or business. The Trust&#146;s oil and natural gas properties are depleting assets and are
not being replaced due to the prohibition against these investments. These restrictions, along
with other factors, allow the Trust to be treated as a grantor trust. As a grantor trust, all
income and deductions, for state and Federal tax purposes, generally flow through to each
individual unitholder. Note, however, that in May&nbsp;2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine relies on public records for information regarding drilling operations. The public
records available up to the date of this report indicate that there were eight new well completions
made during the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 on leases in which Marine has an interest.
Public records also indicate that there were four wells in the process of being drilled and three
permits for wells to be drilled in the future.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine holds an overriding royalty interest equal to three-fourths of 1% of the value at the
well of any oil, natural gas, or other minerals produced and sold from 59 leases covering 215,136
gross acres located in the Gulf of Mexico. Marine&#146;s overriding royalty interest applies only to
existing leases and does not apply to any new leases that Chevron or Elf may acquire. The Trust
also owns a 32.6% interest in Tidelands. Tidelands has an overriding royalty interest in five
leases covering 22,948 gross acres located in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result of this ownership,
the Trust receives periodic distributions from Tidelands.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty
Trusts, Marine uses the modified cash basis method of accounting. Under this accounting method,
royalty income is recorded when received, and distributions to unitholders are recorded when
declared by the Trustee of the Trust. Expenses of Marine (which include accounting, legal, and
other professional fees, trustees&#146; fees and out-of-pocket expenses) are recorded on an accrual
basis. Marine also reports distributable income instead of net income under the modified cash
basis method of accounting. Cash reserves are permitted to be established by the Trustee for
certain contingencies that would not be recorded under GAAP.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine did not have any changes in critical accounting policies or in significant accounting
estimates during the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. Please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 for a detailed discussion of critical accounting policies.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>General</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, Marine realized 63% of its royalty income from
the sale of oil and 37% from the sale of natural gas, excluding its interest in Tidelands. Royalty
income consists of oil and natural gas royalties received from producers.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine&#146;s royalty income is derived from the oil and natural gas production activities of
unrelated parties. Marine&#146;s royalty income fluctuates from period to period based upon factors
beyond Marine&#146;s control, including, without limitation, the number of productive wells drilled and
maintained on leases subject to Marine&#146;s interest, the level of production over time from such
wells and the prices at which the oil and natural gas from such wells are sold.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Important aspects of Marine&#146;s operations are conducted by third parties. Marine&#146;s royalty
income is dependent on the operations of the working interest owners of the leases on which Marine
has an overriding royalty interest. The oil and natural gas companies that lease tracts subject to
Marine&#146;s interests are responsible for the production and sale of oil and natural gas and the
calculation of royalty payments to Marine. The only obligation of the working interest owners to
Marine is to make monthly overriding royalty payments of Marine&#146;s interest in the oil and natural
gas sold. Marine&#146;s distributions are processed and paid by American Stock Transfer as the agent
for Marine. American Stock Transfer replaced Mellon Investor Services LLC Marine&#146;s transfer agent
as of November&nbsp;1, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The volume of oil and natural gas produced and its selling price are primary factors in the
calculation of overriding royalty payments. Production is affected by the declining capability of
the producing wells, the number of new wells drilled and the number of existing wells re-worked and
placed back in production. Production from existing wells is anticipated to decrease in the future
due to normal well depletion. Marine has no input with the operators regarding future drilling or
re-working operations which could impact the oil and natural gas production on the leases on which
Marine has an overriding royalty interest.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Hurricanes Gustav and Ike</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2008, Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit the Gulf Coast, which generally caused (i)&nbsp;a
disruption of oil and natural gas production, (ii)&nbsp;damage to offshore production platforms and
(iii)&nbsp;damage to onshore oil and natural gas pipeline facilities.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because Marine is not the operator of the leases on which it has an overriding royalty
interest, Marine has received limited information regarding the effect of the hurricanes on
production. However, based on limited information available to Marine from the Minerals Management
Service, at least six offshore production platforms on leases in which Marine has an overriding
royalty interest were either destroyed or severely damaged by the hurricanes. Of these six
production platforms, only one (on East Cameron Block 330) had producing wells. Marine does not
know the extent to which production may have been disrupted due to hurricane damage to the other
five platforms. During the twelve months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008, over 70% of Marine&#146;s royalty income
was generated from wells on leases in the Eugene Island, South Timbalier, Grand Isle and West Delta
areas. While none of the six production platforms that were either destroyed or severely damaged
by the hurricanes were in these areas, Marine was previously advised that wells in the South
Timbalier area were off production due to damage to onshore pipeline facilities. Marine was
further advised that production was expected to be substantially restored in the South Timbalier
area in November&nbsp;2008. Marine has not independently verified the foregoing information regarding
the status of various wells and the extent of damage to facilities. In addition, there may be
other damage to offshore platforms and onshore pipeline facilities causing a disruption in
production.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, Marine receives royalties two months after oil production and three months after
natural gas production. Based upon royalty receipts received in November and December of 2008 and
January&nbsp;2009 from natural gas production in August, September and October of 2008 and oil
production in September, October and November&nbsp;2008, the distribution to be paid in March&nbsp;2009 will
be $.301562 per unit, a decrease of 66% from the distribution paid in December&nbsp;2008. The
distribution to be paid in June&nbsp;2009 will be based on production in November and December of 2008
and January and February&nbsp;2009. At this time, Marine is unable to predict how this distribution will
be affected by the damage caused by the hurricanes.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To Marine&#146;s knowledge, there were no platforms destroyed on the leases on which Tidelands has
an overriding royalty interest, and Marine has been advised that the wells on these leases were
generally only shut-in for a short period of time. The revenue received from Marine&#146;s equity
interest in Tidelands accounted for approximately 67% of the distribution per unit to be paid in
March&nbsp;2009.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Prices</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, oil and natural gas prices continued to decline. In
December&nbsp;2008, the average price quoted for crude oil delivered onshore in Louisiana had dropped
71% to $39.69 per barrel down from $137.81 in July&nbsp;2008. In December&nbsp;2008, natural gas prices were
down 45% to $5.70 per million btu from $10.32 in July.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributable income for the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 decreased approximately 9% to
$1.32 per unit as compared to $1.45 per unit for the comparable period in 2007. For the six months
ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, oil production decreased 6,568 barrels and natural gas production
decreased 54,756 thousand cubic feet (mcf)&nbsp;from the levels realized in the comparable period in
2007. For the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the average price realized for a barrel of oil

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The statements discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding Marine&#146;s future
financial performance and results, and other statements that are not historical facts, are
forward-looking statements as defined in Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933. This report
uses the words &#147;may,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148;
&#147;budget,&#148; or other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. You should read
statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain
projections of Marine&#146;s financial condition, and/or state other &#147;forward-looking&#148; information.
Actual results may differ from expected results because of: reductions in price or demand for oil
and natural gas, which might then lead to decreased production; reductions in production due to the
depletion of existing wells or disruptions in service, which may be caused by storm damage to
production facilities, blowouts or other production accidents, or geological changes such as
cratering of productive formations; and the expiration or release of leases subject to Marine&#146;s
interests. Additional risks are set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. Events may occur in the future that Marine is unable to accurately predict or
over which it has no control. If one or more of these uncertainties materialize, or if underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forward-looking
statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although various risk factors and specific cautionary statements are described elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following is a summary of the principal risks associated
with an investment in units of the Trust.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Marine is unable to acquire royalty interests in any more leases.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine&#146;s overriding royalty interest applies only to existing leases and does not apply to new
leases that Chevron or Elf may acquire. Therefore, Chevron, Elf and their assignees are no longer
obligated to assign any interest to Marine out of any lease that they acquire. In addition, Marine
is not permitted to carry on any business, including making investments in additional oil and gas
interests. Marine will continue to receive payments on its existing leases, so long as the leases
exist. Once the leases terminate or expire, any overriding royalties payable to Marine will
terminate and Marine cannot acquire any additional or replacement royalty interests.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Royalty interests are depleting assets and may deplete faster than expected or entirely.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The net proceeds payable to Marine are derived from the sale of depleting assets. Accordingly,
the portion of the distributions to unitholders attributable to depletion may be considered a
return of capital as opposed to a return on investment. Distributions that are considered a return
of capital will ultimately diminish the depletion tax benefits available to unitholders, which
could reduce the market value of the units over time.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The reduction in proved reserve quantities is a common measure of depletion. Future
maintenance and development projects on the leases will likely affect the quantity of proved
reserves. The timing and size of these projects will depend on the market prices of oil and natural
gas. If operators of the leases do not implement additional maintenance and development projects,
the future rate of production decline of proved reserves may be higher than the rate currently
experienced by Marine. Eventually, the properties on the leases will stop producing in commercial
quantities, and Marine will therefore cease to receive any distributions of net proceeds therefrom.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Oil and natural gas prices are volatile and fluctuate due to a number of factors, and lower prices
will reduce royalty payments to Marine and distributions to its unitholders.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marine&#146;s quarterly distributions are highly dependent upon the prices realized from the sale
of oil and natural gas. A significant downward movement in the prices for oil and natural gas could
have a material adverse effect on Marine&#146;s distributable income, which could decrease the
distributions to unitholders. Recently, prices for oil and natural gas have declined dramatically
from recent high prices. Historically, prices have been volatile and are likely to continue to be
volatile in the future due to factors beyond Marine&#146;s control. These factors include, but are not
limited to:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lower prices may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that is economical to produce and
reduce distributable income available to Marine. The volatility of energy prices reduces the
predictability of future cash distributions to unitholders. Substantially all of the oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids produced from the leases is being sold under short-term or multi-month
contracts at market clearing prices or on the spot market.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>The market price for the units may not reflect the value of the royalty interests held by Marine.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The public trading price for the units tends to be tied to the recent and expected levels of
cash distribution on the units. The amounts available for distribution by Marine vary in response
to numerous factors outside the control of Marine, including prevailing prices for oil and natural
gas produced from properties on the leases. The market price of the units is not necessarily
indicative of the value that Marine would realize if it sold its interest in the properties on the
leases to a third party buyer and distributed the net proceeds to its unitholders. In addition, the
market price of the units is not necessarily reflective of the fact that since the assets of Marine
are depleting assets, a portion of each cash distribution paid on the units should be considered by
investors as a return of capital, with the remainder being considered as a return on investment.
There is no guarantee that distributions made to a unitholder over the life of these depleting
assets will equal or exceed the purchase price paid by the unitholder for the unit.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the public stock markets have experienced price and trading volume volatility.
This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many
companies for reasons that may or may not be related to operating performance. If the public stock
markets continue to experience price and trading volume volatility in the future, the market price
of the units could be adversely affected. In addition, the units have traded, and may continue to
trade, in low volumes. As a result, sales of small amounts of the units in the public market could
cause the price of the units to fluctuate greatly, including in a materially adverse manner.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Operating risks for the working interest owners&#146; interests on the leases can adversely affect
distributions.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The occurrence of drilling, production or transportation accidents and other natural disasters
on the properties underlying the leases can reduce distributions. These occurrences include
blowouts, cratering, explosions, environmental and hurricane damage that may result in personal
injuries, property damage, damage to productive formations or equipment and environmental damages.
For example, there were two major hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico during the fiscal year ended
June&nbsp;30, 2006. Some wells were lost due to these hurricanes. Other wells were off production for
most of the quarter that ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 and did not start recovering until the quarter
that ended June&nbsp;30, 2006. As a result, oil and natural gas production was down during certain of
these periods.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>The owner of any underlying properties of the leases may transfer any of the properties to another
unrelated third party.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The working interest owners may at any time transfer all or part of property underlying a
lease to another unrelated third party. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on any transfer, and
Marine will not receive any proceeds of any such transfer. Following any transfer, the lease will
continue to be subject to Marine&#146;s royalty interest, but the net proceeds from the transferred
property would be calculated separately and paid by the transferee. The transferee would be
responsible for all of the obligations relating to calculating, reporting and paying to Marine its
royalty interest on the transferred portion of the lease, and the current owner of the underlying
property would have no continuing obligation to Marine for that property. Any such transferee may
not be as financially sound as the current working interest owner.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>The owner of any underlying properties of the leases may abandon any property, terminating the
related royalty interest Marine may hold.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The current working interest owners or any transferee may abandon any well or property if it
believes that the well or property can no longer produce in commercially economic quantities or for
any other reason. This would result in termination of Marine&#146;s royalty interest relating to the
abandoned well or property.

the operation or future development of the underlying properties of the leases. The properties
underlying the leases are owned by independent working interest owners. The working interest owners
manage the underlying properties and handle receipt and payment of funds relating to the leases and
payments to Marine for its royalty interests. The current working interest owners are under no
obligation to continue operating the properties. The failure of a working interest owner to conduct
its operations, discharge its obligations, cooperate with regulatory agencies or comply with laws,
rules and regulations in a proper manner could have an adverse effect on net proceeds payable to
Marine. The Trustee, Marine and the Trust&#146;s unitholders do not have the right to replace an

(iii)&nbsp;average production cost (lifting cost) per unit, (iv)&nbsp;undeveloped acreage and (v)&nbsp;net wells

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting rights as a unitholder are more limited than those of stockholders of most public
corporations. For example, there is no requirement for annual meetings of unitholders or for an
annual or other periodic re-election of the Trustee. Unlike corporations, which are generally
governed by boards of directors elected by their equity holders, the Trust is administered by a
corporate trustee in accordance with the Indenture and other organizational documents. The Trustee
has limited discretion in its administration of the Trust.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>The limited liability of the unitholders is uncertain.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unitholders are not protected from the liabilities of the Trust to the same extent that a
shareholder would be protected from a corporation&#146;s liabilities. The structure of the Trust as a
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 unitholders.
While the Trust is liable for any excess liabilities incurred if the Trustee fails to insure that
such liabilities are to be satisfied only out of the Trust&#146;s assets, under the laws of the state of
Texas, which are unsettled on this point, a holder of units may be jointly and severally liable for
any liability of the Trust if the satisfaction of such liabilities 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, unitholders may be exposed to personal liability.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust may be terminated and the Trustee may sell Marine&#146;s royalty interests if holders of
80% of the units of beneficial interest of the Trust approve the sale and vote to terminate the
Trust. Following any such termination and liquidation, the net proceeds of any sale will be
distributed to the unitholders and unitholders will receive no further distributions from the

local laws and regulations and other political developments, such as price or gathering rate
controls and environmental protection regulations. Although Marine is unable to predict changes to
existing laws and regulations, such changes could significantly impact royalty interests.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Financial information of Marine is not prepared in accordance with GAAP.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The financial statements of Marine are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which
is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP. Although this basis of accounting is
permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC, the financial statements of Marine differ from GAAP
financial statements because royalty income is recognized in the month received rather than in the
month of production and reserves may be established for contingencies that would not be recorded
under GAAP.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>If it is determined that Marine is subject to the Texas franchise tax, the Trustee may have to
withhold an amount from future distributions to pay the tax liability.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation, as amended in June&nbsp;2007, to implement a
new franchise or &#147;margin&#148; tax. Certain entities that were previously exempt from the franchise
tax, including many trusts, may now be subject to the tax. Trusts, however, other than business
trusts (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(b)), that meet certain statutory
requirements are exempt from the franchise tax as &#147;passive entities.&#148;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trustee does not expect that the Trust will be required to pay any amounts under the new
Texas state franchise tax for tax year 2008, based on the Trustee&#146;s belief that the Trust is exempt
from the franchise tax as a passive entity (<I>i.e.</I>, the Trust is not a business trust, it receives at
least 90% of its Federal gross income from certain passive sources, and no more than 10% of its
income is derived from an active trade or business). If it is subsequently determined that the
Trust is not exempt from the franchise tax, the Trust will be required to deduct and withhold from
future distributions the amount required to satisfy and pay the Trust&#146;s franchise tax liability for
tax year 2008. In addition, the Trust would be required to timely pay franchise tax liability due
with respect to current and future years.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming the Trust is exempt from the Texas state franchise tax as a passive entity, each
unitholder that is subject to the Texas franchise tax as a taxable entity under the Texas Tax Code
(which does not include natural persons) would generally include its share of the Trust&#146;s revenue
in its franchise tax computation. Each unitholder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor
regarding his or her possible Texas state franchise tax liability.
