San Juan Basin Royalty Trust
Declares Monthly Cash Distribution
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 21, 2011 Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin
Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of
beneficial interest of $4,411,668.65 or $0.094653 per unit, based principally upon production
during the month of January 2011. The distribution is payable April 14, 2011, to unit holders of
record as of March 31, 2011.
Gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved (the Underlying
Properties) totaled approximately 2,448,835 Mcf (2,706,813 MMBtu). Dividing revenues by
production volume yielded an average gas price for January 2011 of $4.47 per Mcf ($4.04 per MMBtu)
as compared to $4.83 per Mcf ($4.41 per MMBtu) for December 2010. The average gas price may vary
from the posted index price for the San Juan Basin. The index price is a gross sales price, and
the revenues used in the calculation of average gas prices are net of transportation, processing
and gathering costs. Furthermore, the distribution to the Trust in any given month may include
significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect pricing for those prior
months. Capital costs for the month were $1,096,166. Lease operating expenses were $2,811,003 and
taxes were $1,127,227.
