<font style="display:inline;">Note 3.</font><font style="display:inline;font-size:8.5pt;"> </font><font style="display:inline;">The Trust declares distributions (if any) each year in April, July, October and January. The Trust’s financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and present the Trust’s results of operations based on each fiscal quarter which ends one month after the close of each calendar quarter. Because (i) distributions, if any, are declared by the Trustees based on, among other considerations, the amount of royalties actually paid to the Trust through the end of each calendar quarter prior to April, July, October and January of each year, the Trustees’ evaluation of known and projected Trust expenses in the current and future quarters, the then-current level of Unallocated Reserve and general economic conditions, and (ii) the Trust’s Net Income (Loss) is calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter, the distributions declared by the Trust are not equivalent to the Trust’s Net Income (Loss) during the periods reported in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.</font>

<font style="display:inline;">Note 4.</font><font style="display:inline;font-size:8.5pt;"> </font><font style="display:inline;">In April 2016, the Trust received its quarterly royalty payment from Northshore Mining Company (“Northshore”) of approximately $1,173,000. In accordance with the Trust’s revenue recognition policy, the cash royalty payment received by the Trust exceeded the royalty revenue earned, and the Trust has recorded a liability for the excess cash received in the amount of $195,731 as of April 30, 2016. It is possible this deferred royalty revenue may offset future royalty payments to be received from NMC for any shipments that occur in future quarters of this fiscal year. In addition, the Trust has recorded a liability for the anticipated negative pricing adjustments on unconsumed iron ore pellets at January 31, 2016 in the amount of $61,333 for the quarter ending April 30, 2016. It is possible this deferred revenue may offset anticipated pricing adjustments in future quarters.</font>

<font style="display:inline;">Note 5. Each quarter, as authorized by the Agreement of Trust, the Trustees evaluate all relevant factors including all costs, expenses, obligations, and present and future liabilities of the Trust (whether known or contingent) in determining the prudent level of unallocated reserve in light of the unpredictable nature of the iron ore industry and current economic conditions. Accordingly, although the actual amount of the Unallocated Reserve will fluctuate from time to time, and may increase or decrease from its current level, it is currently expected that future distributions will be highly dependent upon royalty payments, if any, received in the prior quarter, and the level of Trust expenses that the Trustees anticipate will occur in subsequent quarters. Pursuant to the Agreement of Trust, the Trustees make decisions about cash distributions to Unitholders based on the royalty payments it receives from Northshore when received, rather than as royalty income is recorded in accordance with the Trust’s revenue recognition policy. Refer to Note 3 for further information.</font>
