NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
THE NET INCOME FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021

Keene, N.H. August 13, 2021 - North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) reported the net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 which appears below compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Total royalty income includes any adjustments made by the operating companies based upon their corrected royalty calculations for prior periods as well as any Mobil sulfur royalties. As detailed in the July 31, 2021 distribution press release, total royalty income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased from the third quarter of fiscal 2020. This increase resulted from the combined effects of higher gas prices and higher average exchange rates under both the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements and higher gas sales under the OEG Royalty Agreement. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, total royalty income was not affected because there were no prior period adjustments, but total royalty income was increased by Mobil sulfur royalties of $50,184. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, total royalty income was reduced by net prior period adjustments totaling ($10,192) and reflected no further increase due to the absence of current quarter Mobil sulfur royalties.
