GENERAL
THE TRUST
Organization. Marine Petroleum Trust, a Texas trust ("Marine"), was created
in 1956 for the purpose of holding certain interests in oil and gas properties
assigned from the grantors thereof, collecting the revenues from such interests
and distributing the revenues to the holders of units of beneficial interest in
Marine. Marine's operations described herein constitute its sole "industry
segment" or "line of business" for the purposes of this Form 10-K. Marine and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marine Petroleum Corporation, a Texas Corporation
("MPC"), are not permitted to engage in any trade or business. Except where the
context otherwise indicates, the term "Marine" when used herein shall refer to
Marine Petroleum Trust and its subsidiaries.
Royalties. Income of Marine is attributable to rights to payments from
certain oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, pursuant to license agreements
and amendments thereto between Marine's predecessors and Gulf Oil Corporation
("Gulf"). Chevron Corporation ("Chevron") has succeeded to Gulf's interest in
these agreements. Marine's rights are generally referred to as overriding
royalty interests in the oil and gas industry, and are sometimes referred to
herein as such. All production and marketing functions are conducted by the
working interest owners of the leases. Revenues from the overriding royalties
are paid to Marine either (i) on the basis of the selling price of oil, gas and
other minerals produced, saved and sold, or (ii) at the wellhead price
determined by industry standards, when the selling price does not reflect the
wellhead price.
The contracts creating these interests were entered into between
predecessors of Marine and Gulf, and relate to two different types of interests.
One type of interest is an overriding royalty interest equal to three-fourths of
1% of the value at the well of any oil, gas, or other minerals produced and
sold. Marine's overriding royalty interest applies only to existing leases and
does not apply to new leases. The second interest is Marine's 32.6% equity
interest in Tidelands Royalty Trust "B" ("Tidelands"), a separate Texas trust,
which owns similar interests in any oil, gas, or other mineral lease acquired by
Gulf and/or its transferees and assignees in a 1,370,000-acre area (divided into
60 tracts) of the Gulf of Mexico during a 50-year period ending April 30, 2001.
Tidelands' interest in each tract consists of (i) a production payment, which
reverts to an overriding royalty, on oil and gas and (ii) an overriding royalty
on other minerals. The production payment is payable out of 12.5% of the value
of oil and gas produced and sold from leases on a subject tract until Tidelands
has earned $1,500,000 on such tract. The production payment then reverts to an
overriding royalty interest equal to 4.167% of the value at the well of oil and
gas sold from the tract. Tidelands' overriding royalty interest on minerals
other than oil and gas is payable at the rate of 4.167% of the value of such
minerals sold from the property. Marine, through its ownership of units of
beneficial interest in Tidelands, derives a 32.6% interest in the production
payments and overriding royalties of Tidelands.
Presently, the leases subject to Marine's interests cover 313,005 gross
acres (including Tidelands' interest in 47,990 leased acres). These leases will
remain in force until the expiration of their respective terms. Leases may be
voluntarily released by the working interest owner after all oil and gas
reserves are produced. They may also be abandoned by the working interest owner
due to failure to discover sufficient reserves to make development economically
worthwhile. In addition, the federal government may force termination if the
working interest owner fails to fully develop a lease once it is acquired.
Trust Functions. Marine is administered by officers and employees of its
Trustee, NationsBank of Texas, N.A. MPC employs one individual (its vice
president, secretary, treasurer and as a director) to perform certain
management, financial and administrative services for Marine. Except for this
individual, all officers and directors of MPC serve without compensation.
MPC leases office space in Dallas, Texas to provide work space and record
storage for Marine, MPC, Tidelands and Tidelands' wholly-owned subsidiary
corporation, Tidelands Royalty "B" Corporation. The cost of this office facility
is shared by all four of these entities in proportion to each entity's gross
income to the total of such income of all entities.
<PAGE> 4
The ability of Marine to receive revenues is entirely dependent upon its
entitlement to its rights with respect to the leases held by Chevron and its
assignees in the Gulf of Mexico (as more fully described in "Properties" below).
Moreover, no revenues are payable to Marine until sales of production commence
from any such lease.
The royalty interests held by Marine are depleting with each barrel of oil
and mcf of natural gas produced. No funds are reinvested by Marine; thus, these
depleting assets are not being replaced.
PROPERTIES
General. Marine is not engaged in oil and gas operations, although its
income is based upon such operations of others. Marine's income is derived from
contracts that provide for payments in the nature of overriding royalties to be
made to Marine based on oil and gas sales from certain leases in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Reserves. Marine is not engaged in the production of crude oil or natural
gas. Its income is derived from overriding royalty payments which are carved out
of working interests in oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico. Marine does
not have the engineering data necessary to make an estimate of proved oil and
gas reserves (nor the present value of future net cash flows from such
reserves), and is not entitled to receive such data from the owners of the
working interests from which Marine's interest is derived. See also "Difficulty
in Obtaining Certain Data" below. Marine did not file any reports during fiscal
1995 with any federal authority or agency with respect to oil and gas reserves.
Production. Information regarding the net quantities of oil and gas
produced with respect to Marine's interests (including its equity in Tidelands)
for each of the last three fiscal years as well as the average sales price per
unit of oil and gas produced, upon which payments to Marine are based, is set
forth in the following table:

Productive Wells. Based on the latest information available to Marine and
including its equity interest in Tidelands, there were approximately 337 wells
subject to Marine's interests actually producing at some time in calendar 1994,
some of which contained multiple completions. During calendar 1994,
approximately 151 completions produced oil and approximately 186 completions
produced gas. Most of the oil wells also produced associated gas and most of the
gas wells produced condensate, which is economically the equivalent of oil. See
"Difficulty in Obtaining Certain Data" below.

Lease Acreage. Marine has an overriding royalty interest (including by
virtue of its equity interest in Tidelands) in 85 different oil and gas leases
covering 313,005 gross acres. These leases are located in the Central and
Western areas of the Gulf of Mexico off the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. This
acreage has been classified according to its current stage of development and is
presented in the following table:

(1) By definition, "Developmental Acreage" may be expected to produce royalty
income at some point in the future.
(2) Leases are typically granted for a term of five years, during which the
lease owner must establish a commercial production capability, or the lease
expires. No commercial production has been established on the acreage
classified above by Marine under the column heading "Exploratory." By
definition, this acreage includes undrilled wildcat acreage as well as some
possible discoveries which are awaiting further testing. Approximately 8,626
acres of the 14,386 acres are located on leases that have commercial
production, but the production is not on Marine's overriding royalty area
within those leases. The remaining 5,760 acres are contained in a lease that
will expire in October 1995.
The overriding royalty interest owned by Marine is a fractional interest out of
total oil and gas sold, and is free and clear of all operating costs. The actual
percentage interest in a lease attributable to Marine's interest varies from
lease to lease. The acreage weighted average percentage interest attributable to
Marine's interest in all of these leases is .65%.
Present Activities. Published reports indicate that 14 wells have been
drilled on tracts in which Marine has an interest. Marine understands that
drilling on each has been completed but that operations on these wells have been
suspended and are being evaluated.
The U.S. Department of the Interior conducted lease sales for the Gulf of
Mexico in May and September 1995. Chevron did not bid on any tracts included in
these sales that are located in the 1,370,000 acre area subject to the Tidelands
contract (in which Marine has a 32.6% equity interest.)

<PAGE> 6
The information in this Present Activities section has been obtained from
various reports and publications believed to be accurate. Drilling plans and
results customarily are kept confidential by the lease owners and are not
available to Marine until such information is made available to the general
public; as a result, there often is a considerable time lag between the
occurrence of an event and such release of information.
Difficulty in Obtaining Certain Data. Certain information required by (i)
Item 102 of Regulation S-K and (ii) Exchange Act (Securities Exchange Act of
1934) Industry Guide 2 has been omitted due to (1) the nature of the operations
of Marine and (2) the difficulty in obtaining this information. As described
herein, Marine's only activities are the collection and distribution of revenues
from overriding royalties on certain oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico,
pursuant to purchase agreements between Marine's predecessors and Chevron and
its transferees. The leasehold working interests which are subject to the rights
held by Marine are owned, in most cases, in whole or in part by Chevron, or in
some instances other oil and gas exploration and production companies.
Information as to reserves, availability of oil and gas, average production cost
(lifting cost) per unit, undeveloped acreage, net wells and net acres, etc.,
with respect to the particular leases subject to Marine's interests lies solely
within the knowledge of these concerns. Engineering data, if any, regarding
these leaseholds would have been compiled principally by or for the working
interest owners of these leaseholds and Marine has been informed that it will
not be provided access to such information. Because of this, it appears that
unreasonable efforts and expense would be involved in seeking to obtain all of
the information required under Item 102 of Regulation S-K and Exchange Act
Industry Guide 2.
LEGAL MATTERS
Neither Marine nor MPC, nor any of their respective properties (exclusive
of properties owned by Chevron and subject to the Marine and Tidelands license
agreements), is a party to or subject to any material pending litigation as of
the date hereof.
UNITHOLDER VOTING MATTERS
No matter was submitted by Marine during the year ended June 30, 1995 to a
vote of unitholders, whether through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
Unitholders owning ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding units may
at any time direct the Trustee to conduct an investigation to determine whether
the Trustee is receiving all revenues properly accruing to Marine's trust
estate. The Trustee may be removed by unitholders owning a majority of the
outstanding units. The unitholders owning eighty percent (80%) of the
outstanding units may amend and modify the Trust Indenture or any contract,
agreement or undertaking which constitutes a part of the trust estate, but no
such amendment may change the nature of the trust from that of a purely
ministerial trust, nor can there be any change in the rights or responsibilities
of the Trustee without its consent. However, no such change shall be made with
respect to any amendment to the Indenture if the Trustee shall receive written
objection from any unitholder within 20 days from the date of mailing to the
unitholders of the first notice of the proposed consent. Each unitholder has the
right to examine, inspect and audit all records relating to the trust estate.
Marine is to continue until June 1, 2001, or until such later date as
holders of the units owning a majority of the outstanding units may designate,
but in any event, not more than 20 years from such designation. Alternatively,
instead of so extending the term of Marine, the holders of the units owning a
majority of the outstanding units may direct the Trustee to create one or more
corporations to receive and hold the trust estate, or any portion thereof,
unless the Trustee shall have received written objection from any unitholder
within 20 days from the date of mailing to the unitholders of the first notice
of the proposed consent. However, the unitholders owning eighty percent (80%) of
the outstanding units may terminate the trust on any date, whether earlier or
later than any such date determined as above, as they may specify.
Upon termination of the trust (other than by the transfer of all the trust
estate to a corporation pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, as
described above), the Trustee, after paying all of the obligations of the trust,
shall transfer to an agent appointed by the holders of the units owning a
majority of the outstanding
4
<PAGE> 7
units, by recordable assignments but without warranty, the interests in the
trust estate. Prior to termination of the trust, no unitholder shall have any
legal title in or to any of the properties comprising the trust estate nor the
right to secure any partition thereof.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity. Because of the nature of Marine as a trust
entity, there is no requirement for capital; its only obligation is to
distribute to unitholders the net income actually collected. As an administrator
of oil and gas royalty properties, Marine collects income monthly, pays expenses
of administration, and disburses all net income collected to its unitholders
each quarter.
Marine's Indenture (and the charter and by-laws of MPC), expressly prohibit
the operation of any kind of trade or business. Marine's oil and gas properties
are depleting assets and are not being replaced due to the prohibition against
these investments. These restrictions, along with other factors, allow Marine to
be treated as a grantor trust; thus all income and deductions, for tax purposes,
should flow through to each individual unitholder. Marine is not a taxable
entity.
Results of Operations. Marine's income consists primarily of oil and gas
royalties and is based on the value at the well of its percentage interest in
oil and gas sold without reduction for any of the expense of production. Value
at the well for oil is the purchasers' posted price at its receiving point
onshore, less the cost of transportation from the offshore lease to the onshore
receiving point. In general, value at the well is determined on the basis of the
selling price of oil, gas and other minerals produced, saved and sold, or at
wellhead prices determined by industry standards, where the selling price does
not reflect value at the well.
Summary Review. Marine's net income for the year ended June 30, 1995
amounted to $2,135,661 ($1.07 per unit) as compared to $3,141,512 ($1.57 per
unit) in the previous fiscal year. The decline in Marine's equity interest in
the income of Tidelands in the current year was the primary cause of the
decrease in net income. This source of revenue declined by $835,758 this year
from $1,155,840 realized in the previous year. Part of Tidelands' decline was
the result of unusually high revenues experienced last year from a new gas well
that contributed royalties from current production and substantial royalties
that had accumulated but were unpaid in prior years. A decrease in the price
received for natural gas which affected the quantity of gas produced and sold
also contributed to the decline.
During the current year the working interest owners have commenced the
drilling or redrilling of 32 wells. Drilling was completed on 26 wells, 12 of
which were classified as either oil or gas wells and 14 of which were not
classified, but appeared to be capable of producing either oil or gas. Three
wells did not result in wells capable of producing oil or gas and 3 were still
being drilled at the end of the current year.
The posted price for oil delivered onshore in South Louisiana, in July,
1994 was approximately $19.50 per barrel, but by December 1994 the price had
declined to approximately $17.25 per barrel. In the first three months of 1995
the price was approximately $18.00 per barrel and in the three months ended in
June 1995 the price was approximately $18.50 per barrel. Marine's volume
weighted average price at the wellhead for the year ended June 30, 1995 was
$16.36 per barrel.
In July 1994 (the beginning of the most recently-completed fiscal year),
the spot market price for gas was $1.93 per mcf. The price decreased to $1.48
per mcf in September 1994 and was $1.71 per mcf in June 1995. Marine's weighted
average price at the wellhead was $1.58 per mcf for fiscal 1995.
The following table shows the royalty income, the net quantities sold, and
the average price received for oil and gas during the past three years
(including Marine's equity interest in Tidelands):

Oil and Gas Royalties -- 1995 and 1994: During fiscal 1995, Marine
received, exclusive of its interest in Tidelands, approximately 51% of its
royalty income from the sale of oil and 49% from the sale of natural gas. Income
from such oil and gas royalties in fiscal 1995 decreased 9% from fiscal 1994.
Oil royalties, exclusive of Marine's interest in Tidelands, during fiscal
1995 ($946,009) were 15% more than oil royalties received in fiscal 1994
($821,935).
Natural gas royalties, exclusive of Marine's interest in Tidelands, during
fiscal 1995 ($910,496) were 25% less than natural gas royalties received in
fiscal 1994 ($1,221,972).
Oil and Gas Royalties -- 1994 and 1993: During fiscal 1994, Marine
received approximately 26% of its royalty income from the sale of oil and 74%
from the sale of natural gas. Income from such oil and gas royalties in fiscal
1994 increased 28% from fiscal 1993.
Oil royalties, exclusive of Marine's interest in Tidelands, during fiscal
1994 ($821,935) were 12% less than oil royalties received in fiscal 1993
($933,334), due to a reduction in the average price received for oil sold.
Natural gas royalties, exclusive of Marine's interest in Tidelands, during
fiscal 1994 ($1,221,972) were 31% higher than natural gas royalties received in
fiscal 1993 ($930,723). The increase was due to an increase in the quantity of
natural gas sold and an increase in the price received.
Interest Income. Marine's interest income increased 63% during fiscal 1995
to $82,927 from the $50,780 earned in fiscal 1994, due primarily to higher
interest rates. Marine's interest income decreased 17% during fiscal 1994 to
$50,780 from the $61,296 earned in fiscal 1993, also due primarily to lower
interest rates.
Equity in Tidelands. Marine owns beneficially 32.6% of the outstanding
units of beneficial interest in Tidelands. In fiscal 1995, Marine realized
income of $320,082 from its interest in Tidelands, a decrease of 72% from the
$1,155,840 earned in fiscal 1994. See "-- Summary Review" above.
Pursuant to Tidelands' agreement with Chevron (as successor to Gulf's
interests), should Chevron acquire a lease or leases on any specified tracts in
the Gulf of Mexico before April 30, 2001, and oil or gas is produced or sold,
Chevron will make production payments to Tidelands in an amount equal to 12.5%
of the value of the oil and gas sold until the sum of $1,500,000 has been paid
on the tract. Thereafter, Tidelands' interest will be converted to an overriding
royalty and such payments will equal 4.17% of the value of the oil and gas sold
as long as the lease exists.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Trustee
Marine Petroleum Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marine
Petroleum Trust and subsidiary as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of income and undistributed income and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marine
Petroleum Trust and subsidiary as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

<PAGE> 17
MARINE PETROLEUM TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General
The Trust was established on June 1, 1956 with the transfer of property to
the Trust consisting of certain contract rights, units of beneficial interest
and common stock in exchange for units of beneficial interest in the Trust. The
contract rights entitled the Trust to receive a .0075 overriding royalty
interest in oil, gas and other mineral leasehold interests acquired by Gulf Oil
Corporation, now Chevron U.S.A., Inc. ("Chevron"), a subsidiary of Chevron
Corporation, in certain areas of the Gulf of Mexico prior to January 1, 1980.
Substantially all royalty revenue is received from Chevron.
The Trust must distribute all income, after paying its liabilities and
obligations, to the unitholders during the months of March, June, September and
December each year. It cannot invest any of its money for any purpose and cannot
engage in a trade or business.
A Louisiana trust can only exist for a short period of time; therefore, the
unitholders assigned their contract rights off-shore of Louisiana to Marine
Petroleum Corporation reserving a 98% net profits interest to themselves. The
net profits interest contract was transferred to the Trust along with the other
properties. The Trust is authorized to pay expenses of the Corporation should it
be necessary.
The Trust is to continue until June 1, 2001, or until such later date as
holders of the units owning a majority of the outstanding units may designate,
but in any event, not more than 20 years from such designation. Alternatively,
instead of so extending the term of the Trust, the holders of the units owning a
majority of the outstanding units may direct the Trustee to create one or more
corporations to receive and hold the trust estate, or any portion thereof,
unless the Trustee shall have received written objection from any unitholder
within 20 days from the date of mailing to the unitholders of the first notice
of the proposed consent. However, the unitholders owning eighty percent (80%) of
the outstanding units may terminate the trust on any date, whether earlier or
later than any such date determined as above, as they may specify.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Trust and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Marine Petroleum Corporation. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Producing Oil and Gas Properties
At the time the Trust was established, no determinable market value was
available for the assets transferred to the Trust; consequently, nominal values
were assigned. Because of this, no allowance for depletion has been computed.
All income from oil and gas royalties relate to proved developed oil and
gas reserves.
(d) Undistributed Income
The Trust indenture agreement provides that all cash of the Trust, less
such amounts as become distributable at earlier record dates but not yet
distributed, and less a maximum of $2,000, shall be distributed on the 28th day
of March, June, September and December of each year to unitholders in the Trust.
Undistributed income includes $567,594 and $521,673 applicable to the subsidiary
corporation at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

<PAGE> 18
MARINE PETROLEUM TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
THREE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
(e) Federal Income Taxes
No provision has been made for Federal income taxes on the Trust's income
since such taxes are the liability of the unitholders. Federal income taxes have
been provided on the income of the subsidiary corporation, excluding the 98% to
be distributed to the Trust and deducting statutory depletion.
(f) Credit Risk Concentration and Cash Equivalents
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Trust and its
wholly-owned subsidiary to concentrations of credit risk are primarily
investments in cash equivalents and receivables. The Trust and its wholly-owned
subsidiary place their cash investments with financial institutions or companies
that management considers credit worthy and limit the amount of credit exposure
from any one financial institution or company. The Trust has not experienced
significant problems collecting its receivables in the past.
The Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiary had cash equivalents of
$1,661,312 and $1,673,119 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which
consisted of money market accounts and money market mutual funds with
investments limited to U.S. Treasury securities. For purposes of the statements
of cash flows, the Trust considers all investments with maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
(g) Statements of Cash Flows
The Trust's wholly-owned subsidiary made Federal income tax payments of
$6,750, $2,817, and $0 during the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
(2) INVESTMENT IN AND RECEIVABLES FROM AFFILIATE -- TIDELANDS ROYALTY TRUST "B"
At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Trust owned 32.63% of the outstanding units
of interest in Tidelands Royalty Trust "B" ("Tidelands"). The 452,366 units
owned by the Trust had a quoted market value of $3,336,199, and $4,862,935 at
June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Trust and Tidelands share certain common costs which are allocated
based on their respective net revenues.
The investment in affiliate is accounted for by the equity method. The
following summarizes changes in this account for 1995 and 1994:

that determine the values to be used in calculating payments to Marine for sales
of gas from leases identified in the agreements, beginning November 1, 1987 and
ending October 31, 1989. Royalty payments were made based on values higher than
those set forth in the agreements, and Marine has recognized a potential
liability to cover the estimated amount that Chevron may be entitled to recover
from future payments.
