Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of October, approximately $149,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of November in addition to normal receipts during November. Since the close of business in October and prior to this press release, approximately $708,000 in revenue has been received.

Approximately $740,000 for 2009 Ad Valorem taxes is being deducted from this month's distribution as compared to $443,000 for 2008. These payments are normal expenditures at this time of year.
