NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST -------------------------------- (Registrant) By: /s/ John R. Van Kirk ------------------------ John R. Van Kirk Managing Director Dated: August 13, 2014 EX-99 2 x99-0813.txt -3- Exhibit 99 PR NEWSWIRE NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES NET INCOME AND RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2014 Red Bank, N.J. August 13, 2014 -- North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) reported the net income and results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 which appear below compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2013. 3rd Fiscal Qtr. 3rd Fiscal Qtr. Percentage Ended 7/31/2014 Ended 7/31/2013 Change --------------- --------------- ---------- Total Royalty Income $4,462,842 $4,687,351 - 4.79% Net Income $4,287,987 $4,456,386 - 3.84% Distributions per Unit $0.46 $0.49 - 6.12% The Trust receives nearly all of its royalties under two royalty agreements. The Mobil Agreement is the higher royalty rate agreement and covers gas sales from the western half of the Oldenburg concession. The OEG Agreement is the lower royalty rate agreement and covers gas sales from the entire Oldenburg concession. The factors determining the amount of gas royalties under the two agreements are shown in the table below comparing the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. Gas royalties under both the Mobil and OEG Agreements for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were lower than gas royalties for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to lower gas sales and lower gas prices. The impact of these negative factors was partially offset by increases in the average exchange rates. 3rd Fiscal Qtr. 3rd Fiscal Qtr.

This decline in expenses is due to the absence of current costs following the completion of legal work by the Trust coordinating with EMPG in the response to a tax inquiry directed at EMPG. Additionally, Trust expenses were lower due to reduced Trustee fees as specified according to the Trust Agreement.
