<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>

<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 incurred by the Trust. Distributions fluctuate from quarter
to quarter primarily due to changes in oil and natural gas prices and production quantities.</DIV>

</DIV>

<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;) and its 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>

</DIV>

<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 U.S Federal tax purposes generally flow through to each
individual unitholder. In May&nbsp;2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to implement a new
franchise or &#147;margin&#148; tax. The Trust does not believe that it is subject to the franchise tax
because at least 90% of its income is from passive sources. Please see Marine&#146;s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June</DIV>

</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 six new well completions
made during the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 on leases in which Marine has an interest.
Public records also indicate that there were three wells in the process of being drilled and one
permit for a well 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 that is equal to three-fourths of 1% of the
working interest and is calculated on the value at the well of any oil, natural gas, or other
minerals produced and sold from 57 leases covering 203,616 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 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, 2009. Please see Marine&#146;s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 for a detailed discussion of critical accounting
policies.</DIV>


<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, 2009, Marine realized 72% of its royalty income from
the sale of oil and 28% from the sale of natural gas, excluding its interest in Tidelands. Royalty
income consists of oil and natural gas royalties received from producers. During the six months
ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, Marine&#146;s interest in Tidelands accounted for 32% of its total income.</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 &#038; Trust
Company, LLC as the agent for Marine.</DIV>

<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</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributable income per unit for the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 decreased 55% to
$0.60 as compared to $1.32 for the comparable period in 2008. Distributions to unitholders
amounted to $0.57 per unit for the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, a decrease of $1.09 per
unit, or 66%, from the distributions for the comparable period in 2008. The decrease is primarily
due to a 51% decrease in the price of oil and a 68% decrease in the price of natural gas. During
the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, the difference between distributable income per unit and
distributions per unit resulted from timing differences between the closing of the financial
statements and the determination date of the distribution amount to unitholders.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the six months ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, excluding the Trust&#146;s interest in Tidelands, oil
production decreased 198 barrels and natural gas production decreased 2,556 thousand cubic feet
(mcf)&nbsp;from the levels realized in the comparable period in 2008. For the six months ended December
31, 2009, excluding the Trust&#146;s interest in Tidelands, the average price realized for a barrel of
oil decreased $66.71 from the price realized in the comparable period in 2008 and the average price
realized for an mcf of natural gas decreased $7.93 from the price realized in the comparable period
in 2008.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Forward-Looking Statements</B>
</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 Marine&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and in Marine&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
September&nbsp;30, 2009. 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>

for establishing and maintaining Marine&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures. These controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to Marine is communicated to
the Trustee. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
Trustee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Marine&#146;s
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules&nbsp;13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Trustee concluded that Marine&#146;s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
