Pacific Coast Oil Trust (ROYTL) regularly issues detailed announcements regarding its monthly net profits interest calculations and related financial and operational matters. These news releases explain whether any cash distribution will be made to holders of units of beneficial interest for specific record dates and describe the factors that drive those outcomes, including revenues from the Developed Properties and Remaining Properties, lease operating expenses, development costs, and deductions for estimated asset retirement obligations (ARO).
In its updates, the Trust breaks out results for the Developed Properties and the Remaining Properties, including Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Field, and provides data on sales volumes, average realized prices per barrel of oil equivalent, and the resulting operating income or loss. The news also highlights changes in cumulative net profits deficits, which must be recouped from future proceeds before the Trust can consider distributions, and explains how ARO adjustments, based on analyses by consultants such as Moss Adams LLP and Cornerstone Engineering, Inc., affect these calculations.
Another recurring theme in ROYTL news is the Trust’s indebtedness to Pacific Coast Energy Company LP (PCEC) under a fully drawn $1 million letter of credit and a promissory note used to fund administrative shortfalls. The Trust’s releases describe how monthly payments from PCEC are applied to operating and services fees, general and administrative expenses, and interest on outstanding loans, often resulting in shortfalls and reinforcing the Trust’s statements that the likelihood of distributions in the foreseeable future is extremely remote.
News items also cover governance and legal developments, including the Trust’s disclosure of litigation involving a former PCEC employee and related administrative proceedings, as well as the Trustee’s efforts to independently investigate certain allegations made to the SEC. For readers tracking ROYTL, this news stream provides ongoing insight into the Trust’s net profits calculations, ARO impacts, debt position, and the status of its dissolution and wind-up under the Trust Agreement.
