     This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for July 2006 and the gas production for June 2006. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 31,093 barrels of oil and 395,854 mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $66.99 per barrel of oil and $6.20 per mcf of gas.

Prior Month		38,906		597,447	$	66.17	$	6.11

     Due to the timing of the end of the month of September, approximately $385,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of October in addition to normal receipts during October. Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25^th 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 are posted within 30 days of receipt.
