The Trust was established in November 1980 by Trust Indenture between Southland Royalty Company and The Fort Worth National Bank. Compass Bank is the successor to The Fort Worth National Bank as Trustee of the Trust.

Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP, a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, is the current owner and operator of most of the Underlying Properties and the successor, through a series of assignments and mergers, to Southland Royalty Company.

No. The Trust is a grantor trust.

No. Unlike actively managed trusts where a management team is empowered to grow the trust's assets through new acquisitions, the Trustee is not empowered to engage in any business or commercial activity, nor can the Trustee use any portion of the Trust Estate to acquire additional properties.

Burlington, as the owner of most of the working interests and other leasehold interests comprising the Underlying Properties, receives revenue monthly from the natural gas purchasers. Burlington deducts its production and development costs (including applicable lease operating expenses, capital expenses and taxes) and wires the Trust 75% of the remaining net profits. The Trustee adds investment income, deducts administrative expenses, and then distributes all remaining funds, net of a small reserve.

Royalty distributions are paid monthly to Unit holders who hold Units on the Record Date, the last business day of the month. The distributions are paid ten business days following the Record Date.

We don't know. Independent petroleum engineers retained by the Trust estimate, conservatively, that the Trust is likely to run at least another 10-15 years. 

The Trust does not have a specific termination date. However, some events that could cause the Trust to terminate include:

* the Royalty fails to generate net revenue for the Trust of at least $1,000,000 per year over any consecutive two-year period; or

* the holders of 75% or more of the Units vote to terminate.

Once the decision has been made to terminate the Trust, the properties will be sold for market value and the cash received from the sale less any applicable administrative costs will be distributed to the Unit holders of record at that time.

The Underlying Properties are primarily gas producing properties, and well over 90% of production is natural gas.

Because Units of beneficial interest are not shares of stock and the legal rights of a royalty trust owner differ from those of a stockholder. However, the Units of the Trust are traded on the NYSE just like shares of stocks of other companies, and one Unit is in many ways comparable to one share of stock. 

No. The Trustee is not permitted to buy or sell Units. The purchase of Units is generally transacted through a stock broker or online trading service.

No. That is a decision you should make in conjunction with your financial advisor or broker.

No. If you wish to purchase additional Units, you will need to make arrangements with your broker. Note: You should review the tax information posted on the Trust's website prior to reinvesting. For example, if there are frequent changes in the number of Units held, the calculations at tax time would be more time-consuming.

No. The Trustee does not maintain any Unit holder records. You will want to contact your investment broker if you are a beneficial holder, or the Transfer Agent if you have a registered account, to make sure they have the correct address in their records.
