KIEWIT ROYALTY TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements as of
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not
necessarily include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
Trustee's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes included in the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared on the following basis:
(a) The royalty income recorded for a month is the amount
computed and paid by the lease holder to the Trustee for
such month.
(b) Trust administration expenses are recorded in the month
they accrue.
This basis for reporting royalty income is thought to be the most
meaningful because distributions to the Unit Holders for a month are based on
net cash receipts for such month. However, these statements differ from
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles because, under such principles, royalty income for a month would be
based on production for such month without regard to when calculated or
received. In addition, amortization of the net royalty and overriding royalty
interests, which is calculated on a units-of-production basis by lease, is
charged directly to trust corpus, since such amount does not affect
distributable income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
a. MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Kiewit Royalty Trust is a royalty trust with royalty and
overriding royalty interests in certain coal leases. The Trust was formed for
the purposes of (1) administering the income received from such coal leases and
(2) distributing such income (together with interest earned thereon less
payment of or provision for obligations) to the holders of the Units of
Beneficial Interest.
b. MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Trust received
a total of $3,908,751 of royalty and overriding royalty payments; during the
three months ended June 30, it received a total of $463,928 of such payments.
The following schedule reflects the royalty and overriding royalty amounts
received by the Trust from each mine.

========= ======== ========== ==========
i. BLACK BUTTE MINE.
The Trust received $494,659 from the Black Butte Mine during the first
six months of 1995, as compared to no royalties during the first six months of
1994. Royalties in the amount of $363,236 that would otherwise have been paid
to the Trust during the first six months of 1994 were paid into an escrow
account, which has since been terminated and the proceeds distributed to Unit
Holders. The increase in royalties received during the first six months of
1995 as compared to the amount paid into escrow during the first six months of
1994 reflects increased production from Lease number W-6266, which is a normal
result of a mining plan encompassing several leases.
- 5 -

Lease number W-6266 provides that the terms and conditions of the lease
are subject to "reasonable readjustment" effective on April 1, 1996. At that
time, the royalty rate payable to the United States will be increased to 12-
1/2%, which is the currently prevailing federal royalty rate. Because of the
cap on the amount of the overriding royalty payable to the Trust with respect
to this lease, the increased royalty rate will effectively eliminate further
payments to the Trust with respect to that lease.
ii. DECKER MINE.
The amount of royalties and overriding royalties received by the Trust
with respect to the Decker Mine decreased to $3,305,570 in the first six months
of 1995 compared to $3,736,702 during the same period in 1994. For the second
quarter, the amounts received decreased to $230,314 compared to the $241,758
received during the second quarter of 1994. These decreases in royalty and
overriding royalty amounts received were due to changes in the relative amounts
of coal mined under leases bearing high and low overriding royalty rates per
ton, which are a normal result of the execution of a mining plan encompassing
several coal leases bearing different royalty rates and increased production
from the applicable leases.
iii. BIG HORN MINE.
Royalties received from the Big Horn Mine decreased to $34,724 during
the second quarter of 1995 from $56,948 in 1994, and overall receipts for the
first six months of 1995 decreased to $108,522 compared to $121,724 during the
corresponding period in 1994. This decrease during the first six months of
1995 reflects decreased production in the relative amounts of coal mined under
leases bearing high and low overriding royalty rates per ton. The relatively
small amount of receipts generally reflects minimal current production at the
mine.
iv. SPRING CREEK MINE.
No royalties were received from the Spring Creek Mine during the first
six months of 1995 or 1994 because royalties are typically paid by the mine
operators on an annual basis during the second half of a calendar year.
