The report includes a copy of the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2002, without exhibits. The Form 10-K contains important information concerning the Underlying Interests, defined below, including the oil and gas reserves attributable to the net overriding royalty interest owned by the Trust (the "Royalty"). Production figures provided in this letter and in the Trustee's Discussion and Analysis are based on information provided by Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP ("BROG"). The Trust was established in November 1980 by Southland Royalty Company ("Southland Royalty"). Pursuant to the Indenture that governs the operations of the Trust, Southland Royalty conveyed to the Trust a 75% net overriding royalty interest (equivalent to a net profits interest) carved out of Southland's oil and gas leasehold and royalty interests in properties in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico. The Royalty is the principal asset of the Trust. Under the Trust Indenture, TexasBank (successor trustee) as Trustee, has the primary function of collecting monthly net proceeds ("Royalty Income") attributable to the Royalty and making the monthly distributions to the Unit holders after deducting administrative expenses and any amounts necessary for cash reserves. Income distributed to Unit holders from February through December 2002 was $36,417,967 or $0.781354 per Unit. Distributable income for 11 months of 2002 consisted of Royalty Income of $38,053,281 plus interest income of $16,112, less administrative expenses of $1,728,187, plus a reduction in cash reserves of $76,761. The Trustee did not receive royalty income for January 2002 because revenues based on production during the month of November 2001 were less than expenses. Interest income of $150 received in January was added to cash reserves. On January 2, 1996, Southland Royalty was merged with and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Meridian Oil, Inc. Subsequent to the merger, Meridian changed its name to Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP. Information about the Trust's estimated proved reserves of gas, including coal seam gas, and of oil as well as the present value of net revenues discounted at 10% can be found in Item 2 of the accompanying Form 10-K. Certain Royalty Income is generally considered portfolio income under the passive loss rules enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Therefore, it appears that Unit holders should not consider the taxable income from the Trust to be passive income in determining net passive income or loss. Unit holders should consult their tax advisors for further information. Unit holders of record will continue to receive an individualized tax information letter for each of the quarters ending March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2003, and for the year ending December 31, 2003. Unit holders owning Units in nominee name may obtain monthly tax information from the Trustee upon request.

The Underlying Properties contain 151,900 gross (119,000 net) producing acres and 3,738 gross (1,135 net) producing wells, including dual completions. The Underlying Properties have historically produced gas primarily from conventional wells drilled to three major formations: the Pictured Cliffs, the Mesaverde and the Dakota, ranging in depth from 1,500 to 8,000 feet. The characteristics of these reservoirs result in the wells having very long productive lives. A production index for oil and gas properties is the number of years derived by dividing remaining reserves by current production. Based upon the reserve report prepared by the Trust's independent petroleum engineers as of December 31, 2002, the production index for the San Juan Basin properties is estimated to be approximately 9.47 years. The production index is subject to change from year to year based on reserve revisions and production levels. Among the factors considered by the Trust's engineers in estimating remaining reserves of natural gas is the current sales price for gas. As the sales price increases, the producer can justify expending higher lifting costs and therefore reasonably expect to recover more of the known reserves. Accordingly, as gas prices rise, the production index increases and vice versa. In February 2002, BROG informed the Trust that the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division (the "OCD") had approved plans for 80-acre infill drilling of the Dakota formation in the San Juan Basin. In October 2002, the OCD approved a reduction from 320- to 160-acre spacing for those portions of the Fruitland Coal formation where wells typically produce less than two MMcf per day. The OCD has asked BROG and other interested parties to study over the next year whether the change in spacing requirements should be expanded to cover other portions of that reservoir. The process of removing coal seam gas is often referred to as degasification or desorption. Millions of years ago, natural gas was generated in the process of coal formation and absorbed into the coal. Water later filled the natural fracture system. When the water is removed from the natural fracture system, reservoir pressure is lowered and the gas desorbs from the coal. The desorbed gas then flows through the fracture system and is produced at the well bore. The volume of formation water production typically declines with time and the gas production may increase for a period of time before starting to decline. In order to dispose of the formation water, surface facilities including pumping units are required, which results in the cost of a completed well being as much as $500,000. During 2002, these coal seam wells produced a total of approximately 11,133,332 MMBtu of gas from the Underlying Properties, which was sold at an average price of $2.07 per MMBtu. Production from coal seam wells drilled prior to January 1, 1993, qualifies for federal income tax credits through 2002. Thus, under current law, coal seam gas production after December 31, 2002, will not qualify for the Section 29 credit. For 2001, the credit was approximately $1.08 per MMBtu. For 2002, the amount of the credit will be determined by the Treasury Department no later than April 1, 2003, and, based on historical trends, is expected to approximate (within a 2-3% range) the 2001 credit. During 2001, potential Section 29 tax credits of approximately $.117920 per Unit were generated for Unit holders from production from coal seam wells. In February 2002, BROG announced an estimated capital budget for the Underlying Properties of $17.1 million. During the year the estimate was initially reduced to $12.4 million and ultimately increased to $19.0 million. BROG's capital plan for the Underlying Properties for 2002 estimated 397 projects, including the drilling of 54 new wells operated by BROG and 26 wells operated by third parties. In 2002, BROG actually participated in 339 projects, including 41 new wells operated by BROG and 12 wells operated by third parties. BROG reported that the swings in the budget estimates related in large part to whether and when BROG was successful in obtaining the necessary governmental and landowner approvals to drill on a well-by-well basis. The aggregate capital expenditures reported by BROG in calculating distributable income for 2002 include approximately $10.1 million attributable to the capital budgets for prior years. This occurs because projects within a given year's budget may extend into subsequent years, with capital expenditures attributable to those projects used in calculating distributable income to the Trust in those subsequent years. Further, BROG's accounting period for capital expenditures runs through November 30 of each calendar year, such that capital expenditures incurred in December of each year are actually accounted for as part of the following year's capital expenditures. Also, for wells not operated by BROG, BROG's share of capital expenditures may not actually be paid by it until the year or years after those expenses were incurred by the operator. Capital expenditures of approximately $11.4 million for 2002 budgeted projects were used in calculating distributable income in calendar year 2002, and approximately 5 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTIES $3.6 million in capital expenditures was used in calculating distributions for the first three months of 2003. Therefore, an additional approximately $4.0 million in capital expenditures for 2002 projects remains to be spent. During 2002, in calculating the net proceeds to the Trust, BROG deducted approximately $21.5 million of capital expenditures for projects, including drilling and completion of 98 gross (30.05 net) conventional wells, recompletion of 36 gross (14.44 net) conventional wells, 13 gross (2.21 net) miscellaneous capital projects, 1 gross (.82 net) restimulation, 1 gross (.05 net) payadd, 16 gross (5.42 net) coal seam wells, 11 gross (1.45 net) miscellaneous coal seam capital projects, 14 gross (5.77 net) coal seam recompletions, 5 gross (.98 net) coal seam recavitations, 3 gross (.01 net) coal seam restimulations and facilities maintenance. There were 61 gross (24.49 net) new conventional wells, 20 gross (4.69 net) conventional well recompletions, 65 gross (19.82 net) miscellaneous conventional capital projects, 4 gross (1.41 net) coal seam wells, 2 gross (.99 net) coal seam recompletions, and 5 gross (1.72 net) miscellaneous coal seam capital projects in progress as of December 31, 2002. During 2001, in calculating the net proceeds to the Trust, BROG deducted approximately $33 million of capital expenditures for projects, including drilling and completion of 92 gross (36.33 net) conventional wells, recompletion of 33 gross (18.18 net) conventional wells, 13 gross (2.85) net miscellaneous capital projects, 3 gross (2.34 net) restimulations, 56 gross (8.40 net) conventional payadds, 10 gross (1.52 net) coal seam wells, 4 gross (1.61 net) coal seam recompletions, 1 gross (.88 net) coal seam payadd, 6 gross (.04 net) coal seam recavitations and facilities maintenance. There were 100 gross (32.47 net) new conventional wells, 31 gross (13.47 net) conventional well recompletions, 2 gross (.87 net) miscellaneous conventional capital projects, 9 gross (3.17 net) conventional payadds, 15 gross (1.09 net) conventional restimulations, 12 gross (5.36 net) coal seam wells, 7 gross (4.11 net) coal seam recompletions, 2 gross (.02 net) coal seam restimulations and 6 gross (.29 net) miscellaneous coal seam capital projectsin progress as of December 31, 2001. For 2003, BROG's announced plan for the Underlying Properties includes 351 projects at an aggregate cost of $14.1 million. Approximately $10.6 million of that budgetis allocable to new wells, with approximately 41% of those wells projected to be drilled to formations producing coal seam gas as distinguished from conventional gas. BROG reports that based on its actual capital requirements, its mix of projects and swings in the price of natural gas, the actual capital expenditures for 2003 could range from $10 million to $22 million. In August 2002, the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division approved reduced, 160-acre spacing in selected portions of the Fruitland Coal formation. BROG has indicated that, principally as a result of that decision, its budget for 2003 reflects a focus on the Fruitland Coal formation. BROG has previously informed the Trust that increases in its capital program, particularly in 2000 and 2001, were designed to offset the natural decline in production from the Underlying Properties. BROG has reported favorable results in this effort in that natural gas production for calendar year 2002 averaged approximately 127 MMcf per day, as compared to average production of approximately 121 MMcf per day for calendar 2001 and 116 MMcf per day for calendar 2000. BROG indicates its budget for 2003 reflects continued significant development of properties in which the Trust's net overriding royalty interest is relatively high, sustained focus on conventional formations, including infill drilling to the Mesaverde and Dakota formations, development of the Fruitland Coal formation and multiple formation completions. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is primarily responsible for federal regulation of natural gas. For a further discussion of gas pricing, gas purchasers, gas production and regulatory matters affecting gas production see Item 2, "Properties," in the accompanying Form 10-K. [GRAPH] 6 TRUSTEE'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Distributable Income consists of Royalty Income plus interest, less the general and administrative expenses of the Trust and any changes in cash reserves established by the Trustee. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Distributable Income decreased to $36,417,967 from $80,126,202 distributed in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower gas and oil prices and to the loss of the Val Verde Credit (as defined and described below), offset in part by the effect of audit exceptions identified by the Trust's joint interest auditors and granted and paid by BROG in the third quarter. Interest income decreased from $165,676 in 2001 to $16,112 in 2002, primarily due to lower interest rates and decreased funds available to invest. Total gas and oil production from the Underlying Properties for the five years ended December 31, 2002, were as follows: <Table> <Caption> 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Gas -- Mcf ...... 46,206,297 42,960,149 42,220,260 39,940,175 41,507,353 Mcf per Day ..... 126,593 117,699 115,356 109,425 113,719 Oil -- Bbls ..... 93,659 92,413 97,330 72,223 81,888 Bbls per Day .... 257 253 266 198 224 </Table> Sales volumes attributable to the Royalty are determined by dividing the net profits received by the Trust and attributable to oil and gas, respectively, by the prices received for sales volumes from the Underlying Properties, taking into consideration production taxes attributable to the Underlying Properties. Since the oil and gas sales attributable to the Royalty are based on an allocation formula dependent on such factors as price and cost, including capital expenditures, the aggregate sales amounts from the Underlying Properties may not provide a meaningful comparison to sales attributable to the Royalty. Royalty Income for the calendar year is associated with actual gas and oil production during the period from November of the preceding year through October of the current year. Gas and oil sales attributable to the Royalty for the past five years are summarized in the following table: <Table> <Caption> 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Gas -- Mcf ................ 19,584,056 19,272,021 20,317,750 19,527,666 18,904,906 Average Price (per Mcf) ... $2.32 $4.61 $2.99 $1.78 $1.75 Oil -- Bbls ............... 40,215 42,056 47,441 35,341 37,067 Average Price (per Bbl) ... $20.90 $24.99 $24.66 $14.41 $13.55 </Table> The fluctuations in annual gas production that have occurred during these five years generally resulted from changes in the demand for gas during that time, marketing conditions, and increased capital spending to generate production from new wells. Production from the Underlying Properties is influenced by the line pressure of the gas gathering systems in the San Juan Basin. As noted above, oil and gas sales attributable to the Royalty are based on an allocation formula dependent on many factors, including oil and gas prices and capital expenditures. 7 TRUSTEE'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Royalty Income for the five years ended December 31, 2002, was determined as shown in the following table: <Table> <Caption> 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Gross Proceeds from the Underlying Properties: - -------------------------- Gas ................................. $ 103,349,299 $169,052,231 $124,902,689 $ 69,928,312 $71,247,501 Oil ................................. 1,863,827 2,233,071 2,409,158 1,028,862 1,088,228 Other ...............................

Included in the 2000 distributable income was a payment by BROG to the Trust in June 2000 of $3,490,000. In June 2000, the Trust and BROG entered into a partial settlement of a claim relating to a gas imbalance. A gas imbalance occurs when more than one party is entitled to the economic benefit of the production of natural gas, but the gas is sold for the account of less than all the parties. Under the terms of the partial settlement, BROG paid the Trust $3,490,000 to settle the imbalance insofar as it relates to some of the wells located on the subject properties. BROG has indicated that the remainder of the imbalance is to be addressed through volume adjustments whereby the Trust's net overriding royalty interest will be applied to 50% of the overproduced parties' interest on a monthly basis, until the imbalance is corrected. The Trust is in communication with BROG in order to determine the estimated value of the volume adjustments and the time during which the remainder of the imbalance will be corrected. Included in 1999 Distributable Income was a payment by BROG to the Trust in March 1999 of $892,498. After a rupture of the Williams "Trunk S" Pipeline disrupted a significant flow of gas from BROG properties, BROG filed claims with insurance carriers and subsequently received payments of its claims. Some of the claims filed related to properties burdened by the Royalty. The amount of insurance proceeds applicable to such properties was determined to be $1,189,996, of which the Trust received 75% or $892,498. Based on its 1999 year-end review, BROG determined that it had undercharged the Trust for both capital expenditures and lease operating charges related to properties burdened by the Trust but not operated by BROG. In April and May of 2000, BROG passed through to the Trust additional charges of $652,303 in capital expenditures and $1,689,509 in lease operating charges related to the undercharged non-operated properties. The Trust's consultants have reviewed BROG's cost reporting data and confirmed that these additional charges were appropriate. Operating expenses for 1998 through 2001 include the impact of the receipt of $250,000 from BROG as an offset to lease operating expense in connection with the settlement of the litigation described in Note 5 to the accompanying Financial Statements. The final $250,000 offset was made in December 2001. Monthly lease operating costs in 2002 averaged approximately $1,262,913, which is higher than the $1,242,247 average in 2001. For additional information on capital expenditures, see "Description of the Properties." As part of the September 4, 1996, settlement of the litigation 8 filed by the Trustee on June 4, 1992, against BROG and Southland Royalty Company, the Trust was entitled to certain adjustments (the "Val Verde Credit") that represented cost reductions favorable to the Trust in the charges for coal seam gas gathered and treated on BROG's Val Verde system. The settlement provided that the Val Verde Credit was applicable until the later of July 1, 2002, or until BROG no longer owned the Val Verde facility. By correspondence dated July 15, 2002, BROG notified the Trustee of the sale of the Val Verde facility to TEPPCO Partners, L.P. effective July 1, 2002. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2002, the calculation of net proceeds for gas gathered and treated at the Val Verde facility no longer included the Val Verde Credit. The total amount of the Val Verde Credit for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, was estimated by the Trust's joint interest auditors as approximately $1,880,000. The loss of the Val Verde Credit will result in increased costsallocated to the Trust for coal seam gas gathered and treated on the Val Verde system and accordingly, will decrease Royalty Income. The current war in Iraq has increased the volatility in prices for oil and gas. It is unclear what effect the current war in Iraq will have on the net proceeds received by the Trust and, accordingly, Distributable Income. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Under the Trust's indenture, the Trustee is entitled to an administrative fee for its administrative services and the preparation of quarterly and annual statements of: (i) 1/20 of 1% of the first $100 million of the annual gross revenue of the Trust, and 1/30 of 1% of the annual gross revenue of the Trust in excess of $100 million and (ii) the Trustee's standard hourly rates for time in excess of 300 hours annually. Beginning January 1, 2003, in no case will the administrative fee due under items (i) and (ii) above be less than $36,000 per year (as adjusted annually to reflect the increase (if any) in the Producers Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics). EFFECTS OF SECURITIES REGULATION As a publicly-traded trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the Trust is and will continue to be subject to extensive regulation under, among others, the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations of the NYSE and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Issuers failing to comply with such authorities risk serious consequences, including criminal as well as civil and administrative penalties. In most instances, these laws, rules and regulations do not specifically address their applicability to publicly-traded trusts, such as the Trust. In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides for the adoption by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of certain rules and regulations that may be impossible for the Trust to literally satisfy because of its nature as a pass-through trust. For example, the Commission is required to adopt rules and regulations pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that would require a publicly-traded company's board of directors, audit committee or executive directors (or similar body) to act with respect to certain corporate governance matters. The Trust does not have, nor does the indenture governing the Trust provide for, a board of directors, an audit committee or any executive officers. Accordingly, the Trust could not literally comply with such rules and regulations. It is the Trustee's intention to follow the Commission's rulemaking closely, attempt to comply with such rules and regulations and, where appropriate, request relief from these rules and regulations. However, if the Trust is unable to comply with such rules and regulations or to obtain appropriate relief, the Trust may be required to expend as yet unknown but potentially material costs to amend the indenture that governs the Trust to allow for compliance with such rules and regulations. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES In accordance with the Commission's staff accounting bulletins and consistent with other royalty trusts, the financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis: o Royalty Income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by BROG to the Trustee for the Trust. o Trust expenses recorded are based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established from Royalty Income for liabilities and contingencies. o Distributions to Unit holders are recorded when declared by the Trustee. o The conveyance which transferred the Royalty to the Trust provides that any excess of production costs over gross proceeds must be recovered from future net profits. The financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because revenues are not accrued in the month of production; certain cash reserves may be established for contingencies which would not be accrued in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and amortization of the Royalty calculated on a unit-of-production basis is charged directly to trust corpus instead of an expense. 9 RESULTS OF THE 4TH QUARTER OF 2002 AND 2001 For the three months ended December 31, 2002, Distributable Income was $11,579,818 ($.248447 per Unit), which was more than the $2,898,013 ($.062177 per Unit) of income distributed during the same period in 2001. The increase in Distributable Income resulted primarily from higher average gas and oil prices, and decreased capital costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2001. Royalty Income of the Trust for the fourth quarter is associated with actual gas and oil production during August through October of each year. Gas and oil sales for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows: <Table> <Caption> Underlying Properties 2002 2001 - --------------------- ---------- ---------- Gas -- Mcf ................... 11,608,135 10,248,195 Average Price (per Mcf) ... $2.30 $1.87 Oil -- Bbls .................. 19,624 21,018 Average Price (per Bbl) ... $23.61 $20.88 Attributable to the Royalty - --------------------------- Gas -- Mcf ................... 5,574,600 1,483,888 Oil -- Bbls .................. 9,184 2,792 </Table> The average price of gas and oil increased in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year. The price per barrel of oil during the fourth quarter of 2002 was $2.73 per Bbl higher than that received in the fourth quarter of 2001 due to increases in oil prices in world markets generally, including the posted price applicable to the Royalty. Gas production increased slightly in the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared with the same period in 2001 primarily due to increased demand. During the fourth quarter of 2002, coal seam production from the Underlying Properties averaged 1,413,871 Mcf per month compared to 961,310 Mcf per month during the fourth quarter of 2001. Capital costs for the fourth quarter of 2002 totaled $4,653,069 compared to $11,528,106 during the same period of 2001. The decrease was primarily due to decreased drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Lease operating expenses and property taxes for the fourth quarter of 2002 averaged $1,322,655 per month compared to $1,411,550 per month in the fourth quarter of 2001. 10 SAN JUAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Trust Corpus December 31, 2002 and 2001 <Table> <Caption> Assets 2002 2001 - ------ ----------- ----------- Cash and Short-term Investments .......................... $ 4,274,790 $ 191,620 Net Overriding Royalty Interests in Producing Oil and Gas Properties ................................ 33,697,906 37,859,749 ----------- ----------- $37,972,696 $38,051,369 =========== =========== Liabilities and Trust Corpus - ---------------------------- Distribution Payable to Unit Holders ..................... $ 4,159,932 $ -0- Cash Reserves ............................................ 114,858 191,620 Trust Corpus -- 46,608,796 Units of Beneficial Interest Authorized and Outstanding ............................ 33,697,906 37,859,749 ----------- ----------- $37,972,696 $38,051,369 =========== =========== </Table> Statements of Distributable Income for the Three Years Ended December 31, 2002 <Table> <Caption> 2002 2001 2000 ------------ ----------- ----------- Royalty Income ..................................... $ 38,053,281 $81,368,723 $60,044,773 Interest Income .................................... 16,112 165,676 148,513 ------------ ----------- ----------- 38,069,393 81,534,399 60,193,286 Expenditures -- General and Administrative ......... 1,728,187 1,216,577 1,004,354 Change in Cash Reserves ............................

TRUST ORGANIZATION AND PROVISIONS The San Juan Basin Royalty Trust ("Trust") was established as of November 1, 1980. As of September 30, 2002, TexasBank ("Trustee") replaced Bank One, N.A., as Trustee for the Trust. Southland Royalty Company ("Southland") conveyed to the Trust a 75% net overriding royalty interest ("Royalty") carved out of Southland's working interests and royalty interests in the properties located in the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico (the "Underlying Properties"). On November 3, 1980, units of beneficial interest ("Units") in the Trust were distributed to the Trustee for the benefit of Southland shareholders of record as of November 3, 1980, who received one Unit in the Trust for each share of Southland common stock held. The Units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The terms of the Trust Indenture provide, among other things, that: o The Trust shall not engage in any business or commercial activity of any kind or acquire any assets other than those initially conveyed to the Trust; o The Trustee may not sell all or any part of the Royalty unless approved by holders of 75% of all Units outstanding, in which case the sale must be for cash and the proceeds promptly distributed; o The Trustee may establish a cash reserve for the payment of any liability which is contingent or uncertain in amount; o The Trustee is authorized to borrow funds to pay liabilities of the Trust; and o The Trustee will make monthly cash distributions to Unit holders (see Note 2). 2. NET OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTEREST AND DISTRIBUTION TO UNIT HOLDERS The amounts to be distributed to Unit holders ("Monthly Distribution Amounts") are determined on a monthly basis. The Monthly Distribution Amount is an amount equal to the sum of cash received by the Trustee during a calendar month attributable to the Royalty, any reduction in cash reserves and any other cash receipts of the Trust, including interest, reduced by the sum of liabilities paid and any increase in cash reserves. If the Monthly Distribution Amount for any monthly period is a negative number, then the distribution will be zero for such month and such negative amount will be carried forward and deducted from future monthly distributions until the cumulative distribution calculation becomes a positive number, at which time a distribution will be made. Unit holders of record will be entitled to receive the calculated Monthly Distribution Amount for each month on or before ten business days after the monthly record date, which is generally the last business day of each calendar month. The cash received by the Trustee consists of the amounts received by the owner of the interest burdened by the Royalty from the sale of production less the sum of applicable taxes, accrued production costs, development and drilling costs, operating charges and other costs and deductions, multiplied by 75%. The initial carrying value of the Royalty ($133,275,528) represented Southland's historical net book value at the date of the transfer of the Trust. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 aggregated $99,577,622 and $95,415,779 respectively. 3. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis: o Royalty income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by the working interest owner, Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Company LP ("BROG"), to the Trustee for the Trust. Royalty income consists of the amounts received by the owner of the interest burdened by the net overriding royalty interest from the sale of production less accrued production costs, development and drilling costs, applicable taxes, operating charges, and other costs and deductions, multiplied by 75%. o Trust expenses recorded are based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established from Royalty income for liabilities and contingencies. o Distributions to Unit holders are recorded when declared by the Trustee. o The conveyance which transferred the overriding royalty interest to the Trust provides that any excess of production costs over gross proceeds must be recovered from future net profits. The financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because revenues are not accrued in the month of production; certain cash reserves may be established for contingencies which would not be accrued in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and amortization of the Royalty calculated on a unit-of-production basis is charged directly to trust corpus instead of an expense. 12 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES For federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust which is taxed as a grantor trust. A grantor trust is not subject to tax at the trust level. The Unit holders are considered to own the Trust's income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each Unit holder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust rather than when distributed by the Trust. The Royalty constitutes an "economic interest" in oil and gas properties for federal income tax purposes. Unit holders must report their share of the revenues of the Trust as ordinary income from oil and gas royalties and are entitled to claim depletion with respect to such income. The Royalty is treated as a single property for depletion purposes. The Trust has on file technical advice memoranda confirming the tax treatment described above. The Trust began receiving royalty income from coal seam gas wells in 1989. Under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code, coal seam gas production from wells drilled prior to January 1, 1993 (including certain wells recompleted in coal seam formations thereafter) generally qualifies for the federal income tax credit for producing nonconventional fuels if such production and the sale thereof occurs before January 1, 2003. Under current law, coal seam gas production after December 31, 2002, will not qualify for the Section 29 credit. For 2001, this tax credit was approximately $1.08 per MMBtu. For 2002, the amount of the credit will be determined by the Treasury Department no later than April 1, 2003, and, based on historical trends, is expected to approximate (within a 2-3% range) the 2001 credit. The Trust also receives production from wells producing from a tight sands formation. These wells must have been drilled after November 5, 1990, or must have been committed or dedicated to interstate commerce (as defined in Section 2(18) of the Natural Gas Policy Act as in effect November 5, 1990) as of April 20, 1977. This credit is not adjusted for inflation, so the credit remains fixed at .517241 per MMBtu. For qualifying production of the Trust, each Unit holder must determine from the tax information they receive from the Trust, his pro rata share of qualifying production of the Trust, based upon the number of Units owned during each month of the year, and the amount of available credit per MMBtu for the year, and apply the tax credit against his own income tax liability, but such credit may not reduce his regular liability (after the foreign tax credit and certain other nonrefundable credits) below his tentative minimum tax. Section 29 also provides that any amount of Section 29 credit disallowed for the tax year solely because of this limitation will increase his credit for prior year minimum tax liability, which may be carried forward indefinitely as a credit against the taxpayer's regular tax liability, subject, however, to the limitations described in the preceding sentence. There is no provision for the carryback or carryforward of the Section 29 credit in any other circumstances. The Trustee is provided summary Section 29 tax credit information related to Trust properties by BROG, which information is then passed along to the Unit holders. In 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit upheld the position of the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Court that nonconventional fuel such as coal seam gas does not qualify for the Section 29 credit unless the producer has received an appropriate well category determination from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). The FERC's certification authority expired effective January 1, 1993. However, on July 14, 2000, the FERC issued a final ruling amending its regulations to reinstate certain regulations involving well category determinations for all wells and tight formation areas that could qualify for the Section 29 tax credit. BROG has informed the Trustee that it will seek certification of all qualified wells and that two additional wells were certified in 2002. The classification of the Trust's income for purposes of the passive loss rules may be important to a Unit holder. As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, royalty income will generally be treated as portfolio income and will not reduce passive losses. 5. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT On September 4, 1996, the Trustee announced the settlement of litigation between the Trust and BROG. In the settlement, BROG agreed (i) to pay $19,750,000 in cash plus interest earning thereon from September 5, 1996, in settlement of underpayment of royalty claims of the Trust; and (ii) commencing in 1997, to credit the Trust with $250,000 per year for five years as an offset against lease operating expenses chargeable to the Trust. BROG also agreed to make certain adjustments that represent cost reductions favorable to the Trust in the ongoing charges for coal seam gas gathering and treating on BROG's Val Verde system. Additionally, the Trustee and BROG established a formal protocol that will provide the Trustee and its representatives improved access to BROG's books and records applicable to the Underlying Properties. The final $250,000 payment was received in 2001. In addition, BROG sold the Val Verde gathering system in 2002, thus increasing costs to the Trust. Agreement was also reached regarding marketing arrangements for the sale of gas, oil and natural gas liquids products 13 from the Underlying Properties going forward as follows: 1. BROG agreed that contracts for the sale of gas from the Underlying Properties would require the written approval of an independent gas marketing consultant acceptable to the Trust. For a discussion of the current contract covering the sale of gas from the Underlying Properties, see Note 6. 2. BROG will continue to market the oil and natural gas liquids from the Underlying Properties but will remit to the Trust actual proceeds from such sales. BROG will no longer use posted prices as the basis for calculating proceeds to the Trust nor make a deduction for marketing fees associated with sales of oil or natural gas liquids products. 3. The Trust retained access to BROG's current gas trans-portation, gathering, processing and treating agreements with third parties through the remainder of their primary terms. 6. CERTAIN CONTRACTS BROG entered into a contract dated November 10, 1999, for the sale of all volumes of Trust gas to Duke Energy and Marketing L.L.C. That contract, as amended, provided for delivery of gas at various delivery points over a period commencing January 1, 2000, and ending March 31, 2002. BROG has subsequently entered into two contracts for the sale of all volumes of gas which are subject to the Royalty. These contracts provide for (i) the sale of Trust gas in two packages to Duke Energy and Marketing L.L.C. and PNM Gas Services, respectively, (ii) the delivery of Trust gas at various delivery points over a period commencing April 1, 2002, and ending March 31, 2004, and (iii) the sale of Trust gas at prices which fluctuate in accordance with published indices for gas sold in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico. Confidentiality agreements with purchasers of gas produced from the Underlying Properties prohibit public disclosure of certain terms and conditions of gas sales contracts with those entities, including specific pricing terms, gas receipt points, etc. Such disclosure could compromise the ability to compete effectively in the marketplace for the sale of gas produced from the Underlying Properties. 7. GAS IMBALANCE In June 2000, the Trust and BROG entered into a partial settlement of claims relating to a gas imbalance with respect to production from mineral properties currently operated by BROG. Under the terms of the partial settlement, BROG paid the Trust $3,490,000 to settle the imbalance insofar as it relates to some of the wells located on the subject properties. The remainder of the imbalance is to be addressed through volume adjustments whereby the Trust's net overriding royalty interest will be applied to 50% of the overproduced parties' interest, on a monthly basis, until the imbalance is corrected. The Trust is in communication with BROG in order to determine the estimated value of the volume adjustments and the time during which the remainder of the imbalance will be corrected. 8. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS Based on its year-end review, BROG has determined that since January of 1999, BROG has undercharged the Trust for both capital expenditures and lease operating charges related to properties burdened by the Trust but not operated by BROG. In April and May of 2000, BROG passed through to the Trust additional charges of $652,303 in capital expenditures and $1,689,509 in lease operating charges related to the under-charged non-operated properties. The Trust's consultants have reviewed BROG's cost reporting data and confirmed that the pass-through of these additional charges was appropriate. 9. CONTINGENCIES Information regarding the status of litigation matters is included in Item 3 of the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K which is included in this report. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES At December 31, 2001, BROG had incurred excess production costs of $2,259,628 on the Underlying Properties due primarily to high capital costs. The Trust conveyance provides for the deduction of excess production costs in determining royalty income until such costs are fully recovered and allows for interest to be charged on excess production costs at the prime rate. Interest in the amount of $10,545 was added to such excess production costs. Of the total, $1,702,630 is attributable to the Trust and has been deducted in determining 2002 royalty income. As a result of settlements agreed to among BROG and other third parties concerning properties burdened by the Royalty, the net profits applicable to the Trust were reduced by approximately $3,624,117. This amount was deducted from the Royalty due the Trust in one million dollar increments in each of May, June and July of 2002, with the balance deducted in August of 2002. 14 11. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS Information as to significant purchasers of oil and gas production attributable to the Trust's economic interests is included in Note 6 above and Item 2 of the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K which is included in this report. 12. PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES (UNAUDITED) Proved oil and gas reserve information is included in Item 2 of the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K which is included in this report. 13. AMENDMENTS TO THE TRUST'S INDUSTRIES At a special meeting of Unit holders on September 30, 2002, the Unit holders appointed TexasBank as the successor Trustee of the Trust. The Unit holders also approved amendments to the Trust's Royalty Trust Indenture (the "Indenture") which clarified the language of the Indenture, clarified and expanded the indemnification provisions of the Indenture, and amended the provisions of the Indenture applicable to the fees payable to the Trustee, the investment options available to the Trustee and the manner in which the Trustee can dispose of assets of the Trust. 14.
