(1) Summary of significant accounting policies:

Basis of accounting -

The accompanying financial statements of North European Oil Royalty Trust (the "Trust") are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Financial statement balances and financial results are presented on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP basis"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements, including adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, have been included.

On a modified cash basis, revenue is earned when cash is received and expenses are incurred when cash is paid. GAAP basis financial statements disclose revenue as earned and expenses as incurred, without regard to receipts or payments. The modified cash basis of accounting is utilized to permit the accrual for distributions to be paid to unit owners (those distributions approved by the Trustees for the Trust). The Trust's distributable income represents royalty income received by the Trust during the period plus interest income less any expenses incurred by the Trust, all on a cash basis. In the opinion of the Trustees, the use of the modified cash basis of accounting provides a more meaningful presentation to unit owners of the results of operations of the Trust.

The results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that were included in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018 (the "2018 Form 10-K"). The Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Trust Corpus included herein contain information from the Trust's 2018 Form 10-K.

Producing gas and oil royalty rights -

The rights to certain gas and oil royalties in Germany were transferred to the Trust at their net book value by North European Oil Company (the "Company") (see Note 2). The net book value of the royalty rights has been reduced to one dollar ($1) in view of the fact that the remaining net book value of royalty rights is de minimis relative to annual royalties received and distributed by the Trust and does not bear any meaningful relationship to the fair value of such rights or the actual amount of proved producing reserves.

Federal and state income taxes -

The Trust, as a grantor trust, is exempt from federal income taxes under a private letter ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service. The Trust has no state income tax obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents -

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as amounts deposited in bank accounts and amounts invested in certificates of deposit and U. S. Treasury bills with original maturities generally of three months or less from the date of purchase. The investment options available to the Trust are limited in accordance with specific provisions of the Trust Agreement. As of April 30,July 31, 2019, the uninsured amount held in the Trust's U.S. bank accounts was $1,837,217.$1,841,259. In addition, the Trust held Euros 8,028,4,944, the equivalent of $9,009,$5,502, in its German bank account at April 30,July 31, 2019.

Net income per unit -

Net income per unit is based upon the number of units outstanding at the end of the period. As of both April 30,July 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 9,190,590 units of beneficial interest outstanding.

New accounting pronouncements -

The Trust is not aware of any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that would be expected to have a significant impact on the Trust's financial position or results of operations.

(2) Formation of the Trust:

The Trust was formed on September 10, 1975. As of September 30, 1975, the Company was liquidated and the remaining assets and liabilities of the Company, including its royalty rights, were transferred to the Trust. The Trust, on behalf of the owners of beneficial interest in the Trust, holds overriding royalty rights covering gas and oil production in certain concessions or leases in the Federal Republic of Germany. These rights are held under contracts with local German exploration and development subsidiaries of ExxonMobil Corp.Corporation and the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies.companies. Under these contracts, the Trust receives various percentage royalties on the proceeds of the sales of certain products from the areas involved. At the present time, royalties are received for sales of gas well gas, oil well gas, crude oil, condensate and sulfur.sulfur, as further described below in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of this 10-Q Report.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Executive Summary

The Trust is a passive fixed investment trust which holds overriding royalty rights, receives income under those rights from certain operating companies, pays its expenses and distributes the remaining net funds to its unit owners. As mandated by the Trust Agreement, distributions of income are made on a quarterly basis. These distributions, as determined by the Trustees, constitute substantially all of the funds on hand after provision is made for Trust expenses then anticipated.

The Trust does not engage in any business or extractive operations of any kind in the areas over which it holds royalty rights and is precluded from engaging in such activities by the Trust Agreement. There are no requirements, therefore, for capital resources with which to make capital expenditures or investments in order to continue the receipt of royalty revenues by the Trust.

The properties of the Trust, which the Trust and Trustees hold pursuant to the Trust Agreement on behalf of the unit owners, are overriding royalty rights on sales of gas, sulfur and oil under certain concessions or leasesa concession in the Federal Republic of Germany.Germany (the "Oldenburg Concession"). The actual leases or concessions areconcession is held either by Mobil Erdgas-Erdol GmbH ("Mobil Erdgas"), a German operating subsidiary of the ExxonMobil Corporation ("ExxonMobil"), or by Oldenburgische Erdolgesellschaft ("OEG"). The Oldenburg concession is approximately 1,386,000 acres in size, is located in the German federal state of Lower Saxony, and is the primary area from which the natural gas, sulfur and oil are extracted andextracted. The Oldenburg Concession currently provides 100% of all the royalties received by the Trust. The Oldenburg concession (approximately 1,386,000 acres) covers virtually the entire former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and is located in the German federal state of Lower Saxony.

In 2002, Mobil Erdgas and BEB Erdgas und Erdol GmbH ("BEB"), a joint venture of ExxonMobil and the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies, formed a company, ExxonMobil Production Deutschland GmbH ("EMPG"), to carry out all exploration, drilling and production activities. All sales activities upon which the calculation of royalties is based are still handled by the operating companies, either Mobil Erdgas or BEB.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion"), a Canadian based international oil and gas producer, entered into a Farm-In AgreementBEB (the "Farm-In Agreement""operating companies") with Mobil Erdgas and BEB effective as of January 1, 2016. The Trust has been advised by its consultant in Germany that, based on conversations with people at EMPG and other sources, the Farm-In Agreement specifies that Vermilion has acquired an interest in various portions of a concession or areas owned by Mobil Erdgas and BEB. Three of these licenses cover the three northernmost areas of the Oldenburg concession. The Farm-In Agreement commits Vermilion to financial participation at a 50% level in 11 gross exploratory wells over the next five years. Three of these wells will be drilled in areas subject to the Trust's royalties. If a well in the area subject to the Trust's royalties is a discovery, Vermilion's participation in the production and sale will be 50%. Vermilion's participation in the development of any well does not impact the Trust's royalty interest and the sale of that gas or oil would be subject to the relevant royalty contract.

Based upon statements from EMPG to the Trust's consultant, Vermilion will lead the development of its first well within the Oldenburg concession with a possible start time in 2020. The planned well-site is located in the western portion of the area designated Oldenburg-Land, the southernmost area of the three areas within the concession subject to Vermilion's Farm-In Agreement. Vermilion's well was originally intended to develop the Rotliegend (Red Sandstone) formation, a previously undeveloped productive zone within the concession. However, according to the Trust's consultant and due to the composition of the strata, specialized fracking fluids would have been required. It was subsequently determined that a deeper well, accessing the Carboniferous zone, had a greater chance of success. The Carboniferous zone would require a water-based fracking. Additionally, according to EMPG and in accordance with the terms of the Farm-In Agreement, Vermilion will drill two other wells within the Oldenburg concession, one in Jeverland and one in Jade-Weser. No details concerning these wells or any other activities by Vermilion are available to the Trust at this date and Vermilion is under no obligation to disclose such information.

The operating companies pay monthly royalties to the Trust based on their sales of natural gas, sulfur and oil. Of these three products, natural gas provided approximately 93%94% of the cumulative royalty income received in fiscal 2019. The amount of royalties paid to the Trust based on the sales of natural gas is primarily based ondetermined by four factors: the amount of gas sold, the price of that gas, the area from which the gas is sold, and the exchange rate.

On approximatelyor about the 25th of the months of January, April, July and October, the operating companies calculate the amount of gas sold during the previous calendar quarter and determine the amount of royalties that were payable to the Trust based on those sales.applicable sales during the relevant period. This amount is divided into thirds and formspaid out to the Trust in three monthly installments as royalty payments (payable on or about the 15th of each month) to the Trust forduring its upcoming fiscal quarter. At the same time thatIn addition, the operating companies determine the actual amount of royalties that were payable for the prior calendar quarter, they look atreview the actual amount of royalties that were paid to the Trust for that period and calculate the difference between what wasthe amounts paid and what wasthe amounts payable. AdditionalAny additional amounts payable by the operating companies would be paid immediately and any overpayment would be deducted from the payment for the first month of the following fiscal quarter. In September of each year, the operating companies make the final determination of any necessary royalty adjustmentsunderpayment or overpayment of royalties for the prior calendar year withyear. The Trust's independent accountants based in Germany review the royalty calculations on a positive or negative adjustment made accordingly.biennial basis.

There are two types of natural gas found within the Oldenburg concession, sweet gas and sour gas. Sweet gas has little or no contaminants and needs no treatment before it can be sold. Sour gas, in comparison, must be processed at the Grossenkneten desulfurization plant before it can be sold. The desulfurization process removes hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants. The hydrogen sulfide in gaseous form is converted to sulfur in a solid form and sold separately. As needed, EMPG conducts maintenance on the plant generally during the summer months when demand is lower. The operating companies have informed the Trust that, to promote greater efficiency and cost effectiveness, the production capacity of Grossenkneten was reduced by approximately one-third through the retirement of Unit 3. RawWith full operation of the two remaining units, raw gas input capacity now standswould stand at approximately 400 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day. After conducting extensive repairs to Grossenkneten during 2018, the operators have stated that they do not anticipate any interruption to the processing capacity during 2019. As it stands now, EMPG has stated that in 2020 Grossenkneten will be shut down completely from September 5th to 28th with processing capacity reduced by 50% for approximately a two-week period before and after the complete shutdown.

Under one set of rights covering the western part of the Oldenburg concession (approximately 662,000 acres), the Trust receives a royalty payment of 4% on gross receipts from sales by Mobil Erdgas of gas well gas, oil well gas, crude oil and condensate (the "Mobil Agreement"). Under the Mobil Agreement, there is no deduction of costs prior to the calculation of royalties from gas well gas and oil well gas, which together accounted for approximately 98% of the cumulative royalty income received under this agreement in fiscal 2019. Historically, the Trust has received significantly greater royalty payments under the Mobil Agreement, as compared to the OEG Agreement described below, due to the higher royalty rate specified by that agreement.

The Trust is also entitled under thea separate agreement with Mobil Sulfur Agreement to receive a 2% royalty on gross receipts of sales of sulfur obtained as a by-product of sour gas produced from the western part of Oldenburg.Oldenburg (the "Mobil Sulfur Agreement"). The payment of the sulfur royalty is conditioned upon sales of sulfur by Mobil Erdgas at a selling price above an agreed upon base price. This base price is adjusted annually by an inflation index. In the first sixnine months of fiscal 2019, the Trust received $107,524 in sulfur royalties under the Mobil Sulfur Agreement. The Trust was entitled to receive sulfur royalties in the amount of Euros 39,134 for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, but due to the overpayment of royalties by the operating companies, the sulfur royalties were used to reduce the amount of the overpayment. In the first sixnine months of fiscal 2018, the Trust received $46,458 in sulfur royalties under the Mobil Sulfur Agreement.Agreement

Under another set of rights covering the entire Oldenburg concession and pursuant to the agreement with OEG, the Trust receives royalties at the rate of 0.6667% on gross receipts from sales by BEB of gas well gas, oil well gas, crude oil, condensate and sulfur (removed during the processing of sour gas) less a certain allowed deduction of costs (the "OEG Agreement"). Under the OEG Agreement, 50% of the field handling and treatment costs, as reported for state royalty purposes, are deducted from the gross sales receipts prior to the calculation of the royalty to be paid to the Trust.

In addition to the Oldenburg area, the Trust also holds overriding royalties at various rates on a number of currently non-producing leases of various sizes in other areas of Germany. One of these leases, Grosses Meer, was formerly active but provided no royalties during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017. Vermilion is scheduled to participate in a new well to be drilled in an area which includes the Grosses Meer field as well as other non-royalty areas. However, no details are available at this date, and it is unknown if the well will be sited within the area subject to the Trust's royalty interest.

On August 26, 2016, the Trust executed amendments to its existing royalty agreements withMobil and OEG and MobilAgreements were amended, establishing a new base for the determination of gas prices upon which the Trust's royalties are determined. This new base is set as the state assessment base for natural gas used by the operating companies in their calculation of royalties payable to the State of Lower Saxony. This change reflects a shift from the use of gas ex-field prices ("contractual prices") to the prices calculated for the German Border Import gas Price ("GBIP"). For simplification purposes, we will use "GBIP" when referring to the current state assessment base.

The change to the GBIP is intended to be revenue neutral for the Trust. This change should reduce the scope and cost of the accounting examination. This change has eliminatedexamination, eliminate ongoing disputes with OEG and Mobil regarding sales to related parties and has reducedreduce prior year adjustments to the normally scheduled year-end reconciliation. The new pricing basis also eliminates certain costs (transportation and plant gas storage), one half50% of which were previously deductible prior to the royalty calculation under the agreement with OEG.OEG Agreement.

Per the terms of the amendeded Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements, the average GBIP is increased by 1% and 3% respectively, prior to the start of the royalty calculation. Actual gas sales from the prior calendar quarter are multiplied by the average GBIP for a period starting two months earlier and provide the basis for royalty payments to the Trust during its fiscal quarter. The average GBIP for the corresponding period of actual sales is not available due to the delay in its calculation. As of the start of calendar 2016, the average GBIP under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements was and will continue to be increased by 1% and 3%, respectively.

In March of the following calendar year, an average GBIP for the prior calendar year (weighted on a monthly basis by the respective volume of imported gas) is published. In September of the following calendar year, EMPG makes a final reconciliation based upon the published yearly average GBIP increased by the respective percentage factor and the total volume of gas sold under the royalty agreements during the prior calendar year. Required additions to royalty amounts already paid are paid immediately. Required deductions from royalty amounts already paid are deducted from the next royalty payment due.

The new basis for oil prices is the published price from the State Authority for Mining, Energy and Geology. There are no percentage adjustments factored into the oil royalty calculation. There is no change in the previous methodology used with regard to the determination of royalties attributable to sales of sulfur.

The Trust itself does not have access to the specific sales contracts under which gas from the Oldenburg concession is sold. However, workingWorking under a confidentiality agreement with the operating companies, the Trust's Germanindependent accountants will confirmbased in Germany (Prufung + Beratung GmbH) are responsible for confirming that the volume of gas sales corresponds to the amount reported under the sales contracts and that the weighted GBIP was properly calculated and applied in the calculation of royalties payable to the Trust. Currently, the Trust's German accountants review the royalty calculations on a biennial basis. They are scheduled to begin their examination of the operating companies for 2017 and 2018 in November 2019.

This impact occurs at the time the royalties, which are paid to the Trust in Euros, are converted into U.S. dollarsDollars at the applicable exchange rate and promptly transferred from Germany to the United States.

The Trust has no means of ensuring continued income from overriding royalty rights at their present level or otherwise. The Trust'scontinues to engage a consultant in Germany, who provides general information to the Trust on the German and European economies and energy markets. This information provides a context in which to evaluate the actions of the operating companies. The Trust's consultant receives reports from EMPG with respect to current and planned drilling and exploration efforts. However, EMPG and the operating companies continue to limit the information flow to that which is required by German law.

Results: SecondThird Quarter of Fiscal 2019 versus SecondVersus Third Quarter of Fiscal 2018

Total royalty income received during the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2019 was derived from sales of gas, sulfur and oil from the Trust's overriding royalty areas in Germany during the firstsecond calendar quarter of 2019. A distribution of 22 cents per unit was paid on May 29,August 28, 2019 to owners of record as of May 17,August 16, 2019. Comparisons of total royalty income received and net income for the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018 are shown below.

The increase in total royalty income for the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2019 in comparison tofrom the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2018 resulted primarily from the combinationuninterrupted operation of higherthe Grossenkneten desulfurization plant as compared to the significantly reduced processing capacity at Grossenkneten during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 due to maintenance and repair issues. This increase more than offset the decline in gas prices and higher gas sales under both the Mobil and OEG Agreements as shown in the table below.

Total royalty income also reflects the inclusion of various positive and negativeaverage exchange rates. There were only minor adjustments that the operators made(-$13,020) impacting royalties during the third quarter including corrections from prior periods, as well asof fiscal 2019 and no adjustments during the inclusionthird quarter of Mobil sulfur royalties.fiscal 2018. There were no prior period adjustments forroyalties received under the Mobil Sulfur Agreement in either of the second quartersthird quarter of fiscal 2019 or 2018. The Trust received separate sulfur royalty payments under the Mobil Agreement of $52,728 and $46,458 during the second quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.2018.

The table below is intended to illustrate trends based on actual gas sales in each fiscal quarter. Gas royalties shown in the table below are determined based on the actual physical gas sales that occurred during the firstsecond calendar quarter of 20192018 and the average German Border Import gas Price for the period of November 2018February 2019 through JanuaryApril 2019. No adjustments for prior periods are reflectedUnder both the Mobil and OEG Agreements, higher gas sales were the primary factor contributing to the increase in royalty income during the gas royaltiesthird quarter of fiscal 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Excluding the effects of differences in prices and average exchange rates, the combination of royalty rates on gas sold from western Oldenburg results in an effective royalty rate approximately seven times higher than the royalty rate on gas sold from eastern Oldenburg. This is of particular significance to the Trust since gas sold from western Oldenburg provides the bulk of royalties paid to the Trust. For the calendar quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, gas sales from western Oldenburg accounted for only 30.83%30.04% of all gas sales from the Oldenburg concession. However, royalties on these gas sales provided approximately 78.52%78.62%, or $1,429,355$1,612,220 out of $1,627,817, in Oldenburg$2,050,519, of all royalties attributable to gas.gas sales from the Oldenburg concession.

Results: First SixNine Months of Fiscal 2019 versusVersus First SixNine Months of Fiscal 2018

Total royalty income received during the first sixnine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily derived from sales of gas, sulfur and oil from the Trust's overriding royalty areas in Germany during the fourth calendar quarter of 2018 and the first and second calendar quarterquarters of 2019. Comparisons of total royalty income received and net income for the first sixnine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 are shown below.

The increase in total royalty income forin the first sixnine months of fiscal 2019 in comparison tofrom the first sixnine months of fiscal 2018 resulted from a combination of higher gas prices under both the Mobil and OEG Agreements as shown in the table below.

Total royalty income also reflects the inclusion of various positive and negative adjustments that the operators made during the quarter, including corrections from prior periods, as well as the inclusion of Mobil sulfur royalties. There were no adjustments from prior periods during the first six monthstwo fiscal quarters and higher gas sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. By comparison,Additionally, by the net amounttime that the operating companies had access to the data upon which to base their calculations of such adjustments reduced royalties payable in the third quarter for fiscal 2019, the Trust had already received its final payment for that quarter. As a result, the Trust received more royalties than it was owed in the final quarter of the nine-month period ended July 31, 2019, and the total royalty income for the first six monthscurrent nine-month period is higher than it otherwise would have been. Therefore, the required negative adjustment of fiscal 2018 by $129,582.
