Current report
Hilcorp reported to the Trust that five of the nine vertical wells previously included in Hilcorp’s 2026 development plan for the Subject Interests have been removed from Hilcorp’s current plan due to changes in Hilcorp’s drilling schedule, representing approximately $450,000 of total capital expenditures from the initial budget in the 2026 Plan. Hilcorp further advised that, of the remaining four vertical wells, one is in progress, two have been completed, and one is awaiting third-party connection and flow. As of June 30, 2026, Hilcorp has spent $4.03 million of the $14.0 million budgeted under the 2026 Plan.
Current report
Interests also decreased from 14,706,475 Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 12,386,781 Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Capital Expenditures. The timing and size of capital expenditures by Hilcorp have and will continue to impact Net Proceeds. Hilcorp's capital expenditures increased $764,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased $12,523,993 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same time period in 2025. The increase in capital costs in the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to drilling commencing as part of Hilcorp's 2026 Plan (as defined below). The decrease in capital costs in the six-month period was primarily attributable to Hilcorp's completion of the two new horizontal wells as part of the 2024 plan in the first quarter of 2025.

Previous report
Distributable Income decreased $0.36 million to ($362,706) for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in Distributable Income was primarily attributable to Hilcorp’s application of a negative prior period adjustment of ($3,472,228) gross (($2,604,171) net to the Trust) for the period from 2017 through 2020, as well as a sharp decline in natural gas prices, and the continued application of Net Proceeds to the cumulative balance of Excess Production Costs.

Pursuant to the Net Overriding Royalty Conveyance effective November 1, 1980, Southland conveyed the Royalty that burdens the Subject Interests in properties located in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico to the Trust. Subsequent to the Conveyance of the Royalty, through a series of sales, assignments and mergers, Southland’s successor became Hilcorp, which acquired the Subject Interests from Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP (“Burlington”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, on July 31, 2017.

The amount of Gross Proceeds also depends on the volumes of natural gas and oil produced from the Subject Interests. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Trust cannot acquire new natural gas and oil assets, and as a result, Royalty Income is dependent on the natural gas and oil volumes attributable to the Subject Interests.

Under the terms of the Indenture, the Trust cannot acquire new natural gas and oil assets, and as a result, Royalty Income is dependent on the natural gas and oil volumes attributable to the Subject Interests. Although Hilcorp and other operators of the Subject Interests may conduct drilling operations or well recompletions in the near term, the Subject Interests are depleting assets; Hilcorp has informed the Trust that it is unable to estimate the productive life of the Subject Interests. The reduction in proved reserve quantities is a common measure of depletion. Hilcorp’s (or a future operator’s) capital investments in the Subject Interests will affect the quantity of proved reserves and can offset any reduction in proved reserves. Lower commodity prices may also reduce the volume of natural gas and oil produced from the Subject Interests by Hilcorp.

Hilcorp informed the Trust that its 2026 Plan for the Subject Interests includes 32 projects. Approximately $11.5 million of the $14.0 million budget in the 2026 Plan will be allocated to nine new vertical drill projects to be completed in the Mesaverde, Mancos, and Dakota formations and six new horizontal drill projects in the Mancos formation. Hilcorp also informed the Trust that costs associated with the six new horizontal drill projects include drilling costs only. Completion costs for the horizontal wells are expected to be included in Hilcorp’s 2027 capital plan for the Subject Interests, which is expected to be provided to the Trust sometime in the first quarter of 2027. Approximately $2.0 million of the $14.0 million budget of the 2026 Plan will be allocated to 17 projects for recompletions and workovers in the Fruitland Coal and Pictured Cliffs formations, and approximately $0.5 million of the $14.0 million budget will be allocated to facilities projects related to natural gas compression and other facilities projects. Hilcorp further informed the Trust that its 2026 Plan is subject to revision if Hilcorp revises its assumptions underlying the 2026 Plan, and that actual capital costs may vary from these estimates. As of March 31, 2026, Hilcorp has spent $0.76 million of the $9.0 million budgeted under the 2026 Plan.

Hilcorp’s capital expenditures were $3,274,424 and $4,032,994 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. This reflects an increase of $764,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and a decrease of $12,523,993 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was due to the lower capital expense budget for 2026 and the completion of the two new horizontal wells under Hilcorp’s 2024 plan during the first quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
Excess Production Costs. Excess Production Costs (“Excess Production Costs”) occur when Production Costs (including capital expenditures and lease operating expenses) exceed the Gross Proceeds for a certain period. In 2024, Excess Production Costs accrued due to significant lease operating expenses and capital expenditures associated with Hilcorp San Juan L.P. (“Hilcorp”) drilling of two new horizonal wells. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of Excess Production Costs was $8,438,536 gross ($6,328,902 net to the Trust). As of March 31, 2025, the balance of Excess Production Costs was $6,186,819 ($4,640,115 net to the Trust). Hilcorp will not pay Royalty Income to the Trust, and no cash distributions will be made by the Trust until the balance of Excess Production Costs is extinguished. Further, no cash distribution will be made by the Trust until all Trust liabilities are paid in full, and the Trust’s cash reserves are replenished.

Hilcorp has multiple gas purchase agreements that set forth the prices it will receive for the natural gas and oil produced from the Subject Interests. There is a differential in the prices reflected in the market indices and the prices received and reported because the prices received and reported vary by purchase agreement, and they are determined after deducting gathering, processing, and marketing costs for both gas and natural gas liquids. These purchase agreements and costs are subject to a comprehensive audit process by professional accountants and consultants.

Excess Production Costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net proceeds of $2,251,717, which amount would otherwise have been payable to the Trust as royalty income, were applied to the balance of the Excess Production Costs. The Conveyance provides that Excess Production Costs must be recovered from future Net Proceeds before Royalty Income is again paid to the Trust. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse Hilcorp for any excess Production Costs if future Gross Proceeds from the Subject Interests are insufficient to cover such costs. As such, the cumulative balance of Excess Production Costs as of March 31, 2026, is to be recovered in future periods when the Gross Proceeds exceed Production Costs for such period.

The Trust’s principal source of liquidity and capital is Royalty Income. The Trust’s distribution of income to Unit Holders is funded by Royalty Income after payment of Trust expenses. The Trust is not liable for any production costs or liabilities attributable to the Royalty. If at any time the Trust receives more than the amount due under the Royalty, it is not obligated to return such overpayment, but the amounts payable to it for any subsequent period are reduced by such amount, plus interest, at a rate specified in the Conveyance. If the Trustee determines that the Trust does not have sufficient funds to pay its liabilities, the Trustee may borrow funds on behalf of the Trust, in which case no distributions will be made to Unit Holders until such borrowings are repaid in full. The Trustee may not sell or dispose of any part of the assets of the Trust without the affirmative vote of the Unit Holders of 75% of all the Units outstanding; however, the Trustee may sell up to 1% of the value of the Royalty (as determined pursuant to the Indenture) during any 12-month period without the consent of the Unit Holders.
