-	Net profits income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO Energy”), the owner of the underlying properties, to Argent Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Trust. XTO Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Net profits income consists of net proceeds received by XTO Energy from the underlying properties in the prior month, multiplied by a net profits percentage of 90% for the 90% net profits interests, and 75% for the 75% net profits interests.

-	Costs deducted in the calculation of net proceeds for the 90% net profits interests generally include applicable taxes, transportation, marketing and legal costs. In addition to those costs, the 75% net profits interests include deductions for production expense, development costs, operating charges and other costs.

-	Net profits income is computed separately for each of the five conveyances under which the net profits interests were conveyed to the Trust. If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from the other conveyances.

-	Interest income and distribution payable to unitholders include interest earned on the previous month’s investment.

-	Trust expenses are recorded based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established by the Trustee for liabilities and contingencies.

-	Distributions to unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trustee.
