## Summary
- No August 2024 distribution; record date August 30, 2024, as costs, charges, and expenses exceeded royalty revenue.

- Cumulative excess production costs continue to reduce available proceeds; future periods may also see no distributions.
- Volatility in oil/gas prices and working interest owner reports directly affect distribution amounts.
