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.
