(“Hilcorp”), for prior months. The distribution is payable August 13, 2021, to Unit Holders of record as of July 30, 2021.

Based upon information provided to the Trust by Hilcorp, gas production for the subject interests totaled 2,695,014 Mcf (2,994,460 MMBtu) for May 2021, as compared to 2,498,553 Mcf (2,776,171 MMBtu) for April 2021. Dividing revenues by production volume yielded an average gas price for May 2021 of $1.88 per Mcf ($1.69 per MMBtu), as compared to an average gas price for April 2021 of $1.67 per Mcf ($1.50 per MMBtu).

Hilcorp informed the Trust that due to Hilcorp’s transition to a new accounting system, the May 2021 reporting month is based on estimated revenue and estimated severance tax and actuals for lease operating expenses, property taxes and capital costs.

Hilcorp has advised the Trust that the May 2021 reporting month included additional profits of $2,559,341 gross ($1,919,505 net to the Trust) based on true-ups to the lease operating expense, property tax and capital cost categories for the January 2021 through April 2021 production months.

For the month ended May 2021, Hilcorp reported to the Trust capital costs of negative $165,551 (credit to the Trust due to true-ups), lease operating expenses and property taxes of negative $257,938 (credit to the Trust due to true-ups), and severance taxes of $528,225. Hilcorp also reported that for the reporting month of May 2021, other income included an estimated $100,000 for non-operated revenue, $35,877 for the settlement of audit exceptions, and $38,806 in interest from true-ups.
