Royalty income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased approximately $3,499,000 or 32% compared with the first quarter of 2009. This increase was caused by increases in the production of both oil and natural gas as well as an increase in the price of oil. These increases were offset somewhat by a decrease in the price of natural gas. Compared to the preceding quarter ended December 31, 2009, royalty income increased approximately $4,638,000, or 48%, due to increases in the production of both oil and natural gas along with increases in the pricing of both natural gas and oil.
Gas revenues received for the three months ended March 31, 2010, related primarily to production for October 2009 through December 2009. The average price of gas as reported by the Henry Hub for the same time period was $4.42 per Mcf. The average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $4.52 per Mcf for January 2010 through March 2010.

As of April 16, 2010, the average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $3.59 per Mcf and the average price of oil reported by Nymex was $85.51 per barrel. It is difficult to accurately estimate future prices of oil and gas, and any assumptions concerning future prices may prove to be incorrect.
Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 decreased approximately $18,900 compared with the first quarter of 2009. Compared to the preceding quarter ended December 31, 2009, interest income decreased approximately $40. Changes in interest income are the result of changes in interest rates and funds available for investment.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 decreased by approximately $51,900 compared to the same quarter of 2009 primarily due to decreases in transfer agent fees of approximately $12,400 along decreases in the timing of professional service fees, auditing fees, and printing costs of approximately $10,400, $34,500, and $20,200, respectively. These decreases were offset somewhat by increases in unitholder information services and the timing of accounting support fees for the FASB and PCAOB of approximately $13,100 and $8,800, respectively. Compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $66,200. This increase was primarily due to the timing of annual payments in the first quarter such as expenses related to the printing and mailing of annual tax information, the annual accounting support fees for the FASB and PCAOB and the New York Stock Exchange listing fee of $46,800, $8,800, and $38,000, respectively along with increases in legal services of $6,700.
