Introductory Statement

This Amendment No. 2 to Stephen M. Hosmer's Schedule 13D amends Item 5 of the Schedule to discuss Mr. Hosmer's current intent to acquire additional shares of the issuer, Royale Energy, Inc. ("ROYL").

Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Person:		Stephen M. Hosmer
No. Shares Owned:		1,167,287 Shares of Common Stock*
Percent of Outstanding shares		14.70%

Common stock outstanding at June 14, 2005		7,942,408*

* Total number of shares outstanding and percent of outstanding shares are based on the number of shares reported as outstanding in ROYL's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Mr. Hosmer has decided to acquire additional shares of ROYL common stock up to 1% (79,424 shares) of its outstanding common stock, but only if such acquisitions can be made at price levels that Mr. Hosmer finds attractive. It is anticipated that such purchases will be open market transactions. In the future, Mr. Hosmer may utilize financing and may hold his shares in ownership vehicles consistent with prudent estate planning and liability considerations.

Mr. Hosmer is the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a Director of ROYL. Based on information available from ROYL, he is the company's largest shareholder. Mr. Hosmer's brother, Donald H. Hosmer, is President and a Director of ROYL and its second largest shareholder. Mr. Hosmer's father, Harry E. Hosmer, is Chairman of the Board of ROYL and is its third largest shareholder. However Stephen, Donald and Harry Hosmer have no agreements among them with respect to ROYL stock or the management and operations of ROYL, and Stephen Hosmer disclaims membership in any group with respect to his ownership of ROYL stock. Mr. Hosmer has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all ROYL shares owned by him.

Signatures

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

	Stephen M. Hosmer

Date: September 21, 2006	/s/ Stephen M. Hosmer
