This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for February 2010 and the gas production for January 2010. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 34,928 barrels of oil and 526,241 Mcf of gas. Preliminary average prices are approximately $73.67 per barrel of oil and $5.27 per Mcf of gas. The table below compares this month's production and prices to the previous month's:


	Net to Trust Sales
	Volumes		Average Price
	Oil (bbls)	Gas (Mcf)		Oil (per bbl)	Gas (per Mcf)

Current Month	34,928	526,241		$73.67	$5.27

Prior Month	49,133	800,891		$73.05	$5.21

Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of April, approximately $282,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of May in addition to normal receipts during May. Since the close of business in April and prior to this press release, approximately $1,365,000 in revenue has been received.
