SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR DECEMBER
     Dallas, Texas, December 5, 2007 — Bank of America, N.A., Dallas, Texas, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.26724 per unit, payable on December 31, 2007, to unit holders of record on December 17, 2007.
     This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for September 2007 and the gas production for August 2007. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 32,214 barrels of oil and 458,632 mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $77.02 per barrel of oil and $6.01 per mcf of gas. The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous months:

Prior Month
    41,209       625,482     $ 71.61     $ 5.67  
     Due to the timing of the end of the month of November, approximately $151,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of December in addition to normal receipts during December. Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th 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 will be posted within 30 days of receipt. Since the close of business in November and prior to this press release, approximately $1,346,000 in revenue has been received.

 


 

     Also, approximately $571,000 for 2007 Ad Valorem taxes is being deducted from this month’s distribution as compared to $618,000 for 2006. These payments are normal expenditures at this time of year.
