Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.73 million for the current month, an increase of $0.10 million from the prior month's distribution period.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil sales volumes and prices. 

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.09 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.01 million from the prior month's distribution period.  This decrease was due to a decrease in natural gas sales volumes and a shorter production month in February 2024.

Capital expenses this month were $0.23 million, a decrease of $0.09 million from the prior month's distribution period.
