                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial
    statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
    accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Trust
    as of March 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
    for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994, respectively.

(2) No value is assigned to the land; consequently, no allowance for depletion
    is computed, and no charge to income is made therefor, and no cost is
    deducted from the proceeds of the land sales in computing gain or loss
    thereon.

(3) The Sub-shares and the Certificates of Proprietary Interest are freely
    interchangeable in the ratio of one Certificate of Proprietary Interest for
    600 Sub-shares or 600 Sub-shares for one Certificate of Proprietary
    Interest.

(4) The Trust's effective Federal income tax rate is less than the 34%
    statutory rate because taxable income is reduced by statutory percentage
    depletion allowed on mineral royalty income.

(5) The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not
    necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(6) Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in money market
    instruments with maturities of ninety days or less. Such investments are
    deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows.

    Supplemental cash flow information for the three months ended March 31,
    1995 and 1994 is summarized as follows:

                          Management's Discussion and
                      Analysis of Financial Condition and
                             Results of Operations


Earnings per sub-share were $.28 for the first quarter of 1995 compared with
$.36 in the first quarter of 1994.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 1995 were $1,675,788 compared with
$2,225,015 in the first quarter of 1994, a decrease of 24.7%.

The Trust sold 9,689.30 acres of land for a total of $723,860, an average of
$75 per acre, in the first quarter of 1995. In the comparable period of 1994 a
total of 178.85 acres were sold for $1,341,398, an average of $7,500 per acre.

Land sales may vary widely from year to year and quarter to quarter. The total
dollar amount, the average price per acre, and the number of acres sold in any
one year or quarter should not be assumed to be indicative of land sales in the
future. The Trust is a passive seller of land; it does not actively solicit
sales of land. The demand for and the sales price of any particular tract of
the Trust's land is influenced by many factors including the national and local
economies, the rate of residential and commercial development in nearby areas,
livestock carrying capacity, and the conditions of the local agricultural
industry which itself is influenced by range conditions and prices for
livestock and other agricultural products. Approximately 99% of the Trust's
land is classified as ranch land and intermingled with other ownerships to form
ranching units. Ranch land sales are, therefore, largely dependent on the
actions of the adjoining landowners.

Rentals, royalties and sundry income amounted to $795,162 in the first quarter
of 1995, an increase of 5.0% compared with the first quarter of 1994.

Oil and gas royalty revenue was $565,643, up 23.5% compared with the first
quarter of 1994. Oil royalty revenue was $399,135, up 25.9% compared with 1994.
Crude oil production subject to the Trust's royalty interest was up 2.5% in the
first quarter, and the average price per barrel was up 22.9% compared with
1994. Gas royalty revenue was $166,508 in the first quarter, up 18.0% on a
volume increase of 27.3% and a price decrease of 7.0%.

Management's Discussion (cont'd)

Interest revenue increased 24.0% in the first quarter of 1995, compared with
1994. Interest from notes receivable amounted to $122,924, an increase of
10.1%. Notes receivable were $5,297,632 as of March 31, 1995, a decrease of
6.7% for the comparable period.  Sundry interest was $33,842, up 129.1%
compared with 1994.

Taxes, other than Federal taxes on income, were up just fractionally in the
first quarter of 1995 compared with last year.

The Trust's oil and gas royalty revenues, lease rentals and receipts of
interest and principal on notes receivable has generated more than adequate
amounts of cash to meet the Trust's needs and should continue to do so in the
predictable future.
