Increased production and development costs attributable to the Royalty Interests will result in decreased Trust distributions unless revenues also increase. Trust reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, which could cause both estimated reserves and estimated future net revenues to be too high, leading to write-downs of estimated reserves, which could also impact the Trust s termination evaluations. The assets of the Trust are depleting assets and, if the other operators developing the Underlying Properties do not perform additional development projects, the assets may deplete faster than expected. Eventually, the assets of the Trust will cease to produce in commercial quantities and the Trust will cease to receive proceeds from such assets. At such time the Trust will terminate. In addition, a reduction in depletion tax benefits may reduce the market value of the Units. The Trust will be terminated on December 31, 2012 or earlier if certain events occur. Funds held by the Trustee are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and future royalty income may be subject to risks relating to the creditworthiness of third parties. The market price for the Units may not reflect the value of the Royalty Interests held by the Trust. Operational risks and hazards associated with the development of the Underlying Properties may decrease Trust distributions. Terrorism and continued hostilities in the Middle East could decrease Trust distributions or the market price of the Units. Unitholders and the Trustee have no influence over the operations on, or future development of, the Underlying Properties. The operator developing any Underlying Property may transfer its interest in the property without the consent of the Trust or the Unitholders. The operator developing any Underlying Property may abandon the property, thereby terminating the Royalty Interests payable to the Trust. Trust Unitholders have limited voting rights and have limited ability to enforce the Trust s rights against the current or future operators developing the Underlying Properties. Financial information of the Trust is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The limited liability of Trust Unitholders is uncertain.
