Breaking down the $39.6 million in total cash receipts for the quarter:

• Net Profits Interest contributed $4.8 million (12.1%), mostly from oil and gas sales between November 2024 and January 2025

At the current unit price of $29.33, this quarterly distribution represents an annualized yield of approximately 9.9%. The partnership's diversified portfolio spanning 28 states provides some geographic risk mitigation, though cash flows remain inherently tied to underlying commodity price movements.

The composition of cash receipts demonstrates Dorchester's typical revenue pattern, with the majority coming from Royalty Properties rather than Net Profits Interests. The lag between production periods and distribution dates reflects the standard delay in royalty payment processing in the oil and gas industry.
