The Trust reported a net income of 86 cents per unit for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006.  With substantial increases in gas prices and moderate increases
in the volume of gas sold under both the higher and lower royalty rate
agreements, the slight fall-off in the average exchange rates (applied to the
royalty transfers from Germany) has little impact.  The resulting increase in
royalty income yielded a significant increase in the distribution payable.

For the quarter just ended the average price of gas sold under the higher
royalty rate agreement increased 57.2% from 1.3010 Eurocents/Kwh
("Ecents/Kwh") to 2.0456 Ecents/Kwh.  For the same period, the average price
of gas sold under the lower royalty rate area increased 49.9% from 1.4169
Ecents/Kwh to 2.1240 Ecents/Kwh.  When converted into more familiar terms
using the applicable exchange rates, the average gas prices for gas sold
under both the higher and lower royalty rate agreements were $7.02/Mcf and
$7.23/Mcf respectively.  The corresponding prices for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 were $4.94/Mcf and $5.23/Mcf respectively.  Gas sales under the
higher royalty rate agreement covering western Oldenburg increased by 12.7%
to 19.54 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2005.  In a corresponding comparison, overall gas sales covered by the lower
royalty rate agreement increased 8.3% to 47.87 Bcf.    Based on the transfer
of royalties during the quarter, the average value for the Euro declined by
9.2% from a dollar equivalent of 1.3213 for the first quarter of fiscal 2005
to 1.1996 for the quarter just ended.

The distribution of 85 cents per unit previously declared will be paid on
February 22, 2006 to owners of record as of February 10, 2006.
