Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.96 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.13 million from the prior month's distribution period.  This decrease was due to a decrease in oil prices and lower sales volumes due to a shortened production month.  

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.18 million for the current month, a slight increase of $0.01 million from the prior month's distribution period.  This increase was due to an increase in natural gas volumes.

Total direct operating expenses, including marketing, lease operating expenses and workover expenses, were $0.58 million reflecting a $0.14 million decrease from the prior month. Severance and ad valorem taxes were ($0.19) million, reflecting the distribution by Boaz Energy of $0.35 million of funds previously accrued for the payment of the estimated 2020 ad valorem taxes.

Capital expenditures were $0.57 million in the current month, an increase of $0.24 million from the prior month. Boaz Energy indicated the increase in capital expenditures was primarily related to the drilling of a new well in Crane County, which well is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of this year.   Boaz Energy informed the Trust that this month's net profits calculation included $40,000 net to the Trust of funds reserved by Boaz Energy to cover future capital obligations and expenses.
