Key Financial Metrics
- Net Proceeds Applied: $294,238

The filing does not provide total revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures for the period.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the suspension of the June 2025 cash distribution. This deviation from the standard distribution schedule is due to the application of net proceeds to cover the balance of excess production costs.
Management Commentary and Risks
Reason for Non-Distribution: The $294,238 in net proceeds was applied to the balance of excess production costs accrued from Hilcorp San Juan L.P.'s drilling of two new horizontal wells in 2024.
Outlook: The filing does not provide specific guidance or outlook beyond the immediate impact of the 2024 drilling costs on the June 2025 distribution.
