This press release contains forward-looking statements. Although
the working interest owners have advised the Trustee that the working
interest owners believe that the expectations contained in this press
release are reasonable, no assurances can be given that such

control historical operating data, and handle receipt and payment of
funds relating to the royalty properties and payments to the Trust for
the related royalty. The Trustee cannot assure that errors or
adjustments by the working interest owners, whether historical or
future, will not affect future royalty income and distributions by the
Trust. Other important factors that could cause these statements to
differ materially include delays in actual results of drilling
operations, risks inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas
properties, and other factors described in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2016 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”. Statements
made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements
made in such risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no
obligations, to update any of the statements included in this press
