Accrued income receivable is accounted for and reported for the Trust’s second fiscal quarter based on shipments during the month of July, even though such accrued income receivable is not available for distribution to the holders of Certificates of Beneficial Interest in Mesabi Trust (“Unitholders”) until the applicable royalties are actually received by the Trust. Accrued income receivable also includes accruals for anticipated pricing adjustments, which can be positive or negative. Net income per unit is based on 13,120,010 units outstanding during the period.
