Excess Costs
XTO Energy has advised the trustee that lower oil prices caused costs to exceed revenues on properties underlying the Oklahoma Working Interest net profits interests. However, these excess costs did not reduce net proceeds from the remaining conveyances.

Reserves
The reserve for expenses will be increased by $50,000 per month, which began with the prior month’s distribution, until the reserve reaches $1,000,000, which is estimated to be mid-2017. This will allow the trust to pay its obligations should any extraordinary events or expenses occur, especially with commodity prices at the current level. The trustee will continue to evaluate and revise the reserve as necessary.
