Trust expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 6.03%, or $12,174, to $213,988 from $201,814 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in expenses reflects higher Trustee fees as specified by the Trust Agreement and higher listing fees on the New York Stock Exchange.

Total royalty income received during the first six months of fiscal 2022 increased in comparison to fiscal 2021 due primarily to higher gas prices under both the Mobil and the OEG Agreements.

During the first six months of fiscal 2021, total royalty income amounts were reduced by negative prior period adjustments of $538,651. The comparison of the relevant periods is shown below.
