Risk Factors](index=16&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) This section outlines comprehensive risks that could materially harm the Trust's production, financial condition, and distributions, emphasizing its passive nature and dependence on external factors [Summary of Risk Factors](index=16&type=section&id=Summary%20of%20Risk%20Factors) Key risks include volatile commodity prices, pandemic impacts, reserve uncertainties, and high development costs - Key risks include volatile oil and natural gas prices, the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, OPEC's influence on commodity prices, potential for actual reserves and production to be less than estimates, and the high costs and uncertainties of developing and producing oil and natural gas[66](index=66&type=chunk)[67](index=67&type=chunk) - Other significant risks involve the depleting nature of the Underlying Properties, increased price differentials, higher production and development costs, uncertainties in secondary recovery techniques, title deficiencies, uninsured claims, and the Trust's passive nature with limited influence over Boaz Energy[67](index=67&type=chunk)[68](index=68&type=chunk) [Business and Operating Risks](index=18&type=section&id=BUSINESS%20AND%20OPERATING%20RISKS) Volatile commodity prices, pandemic impacts, and operational uncertainties pose significant risks to the Trust's revenues and distributions - Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, influenced by global economic conditions, supply/demand, geopolitical events, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which can significantly reduce proceeds to the Trust and cash distributions[69](index=69&type=chunk)[70](index=70&type=chunk)[72](index=72&type=chunk)[73](index=73&type=chunk) - The COVID-19 pandemic caused a rapid decline in oil prices in Q1 2020, leading to depressed prices and production shut-ins, with unknown future impacts on operators and distributions[73](index=73&type=chunk)[74](index=74&type=chunk)[75](index=75&type=chunk) - Actual reserves and future production may be less than current estimates due to subjective estimation processes and changes in economic factors, potentially reducing cash distributions and Trust unit value[78](index=78&type=chunk) - Developing and producing oil and natural gas are costly and high-risk activities, subject to delays, increased costs, and operational uncertainties (e.g., regulatory requirements, geological issues, equipment failures, weather), which could decrease distributable revenues[79](index=79&type=chunk)[80](index=80&type=chunk)[81](index=81&type=chunk)[82](index=82&type=chunk)[83](index=83&type=chunk) - The Trust's operations are concentrated in the Permian Basin, making it vulnerable to regional adverse developments, supply/demand factors, and capacity constraints, which could disproportionately affect revenues and distributions[89](index=89&type=chunk)[90](index=90&type=chunk) [Financial Risks](index=23&type=section&id=FINANCIAL%20RISKS) Depleting assets, price differentials, rising costs, and uncertainties in recovery techniques pose financial risks to the Trust - The Underlying Properties are depleting assets, meaning reserves and production will decline over time, leading to decreasing and eventually ceasing distributions to unitholders[94](index=94&type=chunk)[95](index=95&type=chunk) - An increase in the basis differential between realized oil/gas prices and benchmark prices (e.g., NYMEX) could reduce profits to the Trust and the value of Trust units[97](index=97&type=chunk) - Higher production and development costs, including waterflood expenses, without concurrent revenue increases, will directly decrease cash available for Trust distributions[98](index=98&type=chunk)[99](index=99&type=chunk) - A significant portion of future production relies on secondary recovery techniques (e.g., waterflooding), which carry uncertainties (e.g., higher operating costs, lower production, geological issues) that could result in lower-than-expected net profits[100](index=100&type=chunk)[101](index=101&type=chunk) - The standardized measure of estimated proved reserves (PV-10) may not reflect the current market value due to fixed price and cost assumptions and the **10% discount factor**[102](index=102&type=chunk) - Title deficiencies with respect to the Underlying Properties could reduce property value, adversely affecting the Net Profits Interest and distributions[103](index=103&type=chunk) - Uninsured claims could significantly reduce cash available for distribution, as Boaz Energy's insurance may not cover all liabilities or be adequate[105](index=105&type=chunk) [Risks Related to the Structure of the Trust](index=26&type=section&id=RISKS%20RELATED%20TO%20THE%20STRUCTURE%20OF%20THE%20TRUST) The Trust's passive nature, dependence on Boaz Energy, and potential conflicts of interest present structural risks - The Trust is passive; neither the Trust nor unitholders can influence Boaz Energy's operations or development of the Underlying Properties, and Boaz Energy may act in its own interest[108](index=108&type=chunk)[114](index=114&type=chunk) - Boaz Energy can transfer or abandon Underlying Properties without unitholder consent, potentially terminating the related Net Profits Interest or affecting future development[109](index=109&type=chunk)[110](index=110&type=chunk)[111](index=111&type=chunk)[112](index=112&type=chunk) - The Trustee must sell the Net Profits Interest and dissolve the Trust under certain conditions, such as low annual cash proceeds or unitholder approval, potentially leading to unitholders not recovering their investment[113](index=113&type=chunk) - Conflicts of interest may arise between Boaz Energy and the Trust/unitholders, as Boaz Energy operates other properties and may prioritize its own interests[114](index=114&type=chunk) - Removing or replacing the Trustee is difficult, requiring a majority vote of Trust unitholders at a special meeting, including units held by Boaz Energy[115](index=115&type=chunk) - Boaz Energy's ability to fulfill its obligations to the Trust could be limited by restrictions in its debt agreements, potentially harming the Trust[116](index=116&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Ownership of the Trust Units](index=29&type=section&id=RISKS%20RELATED%20TO%20OWNERSHIP%20OF%20THE%20TRUST%20UNITS) Trust unit ownership faces risks from potential delisting, Boaz Energy's unit sales, and valuation discrepancies - Failure to meet NYSE continued listing requirements (e.g., minimum price) could lead to delisting, transferring units to the less liquid over-the-counter market[118](index=118&type=chunk) - Boaz Energy holds **5,878,332 Trust units** (as of March 31, 2021) and may sell them, which could adversely impact the trading price of Trust units[119](index=119&type=chunk) - The trading price of Trust units may not reflect the true value of the Net Profits Interest due to volatility in cash distributions and the depleting nature of the Trust's assets, where a portion of distributions is a return of capital[120](index=120&type=chunk) - Courts outside of Delaware may not recognize the limited liability of Trust unitholders provided under Delaware law[121](index=121&type=chunk) - As an 'emerging growth company' and 'smaller reporting company,' the Trust is exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which may result in different information compared to other public companies[122](index=122&type=chunk)[123](index=123&type=chunk)[124](index=124&type=chunk) [Legal, Environmental and Regulatory Risks](index=30&type=section&id=LEGAL%2C%20ENVIRONMENTAL%20AND%20REGULATORY%20RISKS) Complex environmental laws, hydraulic fracturing regulations, climate change legislation, and species protection measures pose significant legal and operational risks - Operations on the Underlying Properties are subject to complex federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, which can lead to significant compliance costs, liabilities, and operational restrictions, reducing distributable cash[125](index=125&type=chunk)[126](index=126&type=chunk)[127](index=127&type=chunk) - Increased federal and state regulation of hydraulic fracturing could result in higher costs, additional operating restrictions, delays, and fewer drilling locations for Boaz Energy, decreasing oil, natural gas, and NGL production[128](index=128&type=chunk)[129](index=129&type=chunk)[130](index=130&type=chunk) - Climate change legislation and regulations could increase Boaz Energy's operating costs, reduce demand for oil and natural gas, and physical effects of climate change (e.g., extreme weather) could disrupt production and increase costs[131](index=131&type=chunk)[132](index=132&type=chunk) - Restrictions on drilling activities to protect endangered or threatened species (ESA, MBTA) could limit or delay Boaz Energy's operations and increase costs[133](index=133&type=chunk)[134](index=134&type=chunk) [Cybersecurity Risks](index=32&type=section&id=CYBERSECURITY%20RISKS) Boaz Energy faces cybersecurity threats that could disrupt operations, compromise data, and impact distributions to the Trust - Boaz Energy faces various security threats, including cybersecurity threats, which could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, data/system un usability, and physical security risks[135](index=135&type=chunk) - Cyber-attacks could have a material adverse effect on Boaz Energy's reputation, operations, and its ability to calculate and remit payments to the Trust, potentially impacting distributions[135](index=135&type=chunk)[137](index=137&type=chunk) [Tax Risks Related to the Trust Units](index=33&type=section&id=TAX%20RISKS%20RELATED%20TO%20THE%20TRUST%20UNITS) The Trust faces tax risks related to its grantor trust status, unitholder tax obligations, and potential IRS challenges to income allocation - If the IRS determines the Trust is not a 'grantor trust' but a partnership for tax purposes, it could lead to more complex and costly tax reporting requirements, reducing distributable cash[138](index=138&type=chunk)[139](index=139&type=chunk)[140](index=140&type=chunk)[141](index=141&type=chunk) - Trust unitholders are required to pay U.S. federal income taxes on their share of the Trust's income, even if they do not receive corresponding cash distributions[143](index=143&type=chunk) - A portion of any gain recognized on the disposition of Trust units could be taxed as ordinary income due to potential recapture items like depletion recapture[144](index=144&type=chunk) - The IRS may challenge the Trust's method of allocating income, gain, loss, and deduction between transferors and transferees based on the monthly record date, potentially requiring tax return adjustments and increasing administrative expenses[145](index=145&type=chunk) [Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments](index=34&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) There are no unresolved staff comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission [Item 2.
