The increase in net profits income was used to partially recoup excess costs for the Kansas conveyance.
Excess Costs
XTO Energy has advised the trustee that increased gas prices and a one-time prior period revenue adjustment led to the partial recovery of excess costs on properties underlying the Kansas net profits interests. However after the partial recovery, there were no remaining proceeds from the properties underlying the Kansas net profits interest to be included in this month's distribution.
