Isopatch,

"HGT is a NG royalty trust, that I averaged into in Dec and Jan. It pays very large monthly distributions that are tax deferred by depletion and depreciation deductions."

The following is from a HGT SEC filing in July I believe.

"Federal Income Taxes

Tax counsel has advised the trust that, under current tax laws, the trust will be classified as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to taxation at the trust level. However, the opinion of tax counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service.

For federal income tax purposes, unitholders are considered to own the trust's income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of the trust is deemed to be received or accrued by the unitholders at the time such income is received or accrued by the trust, rather than when distributed by the trust.

Cross Timbers has advised the trustee that the trust receives royalty income from tight sands gas wells. Certain tight sands gas produced and sold through 2002 qualifies for the federal income tax credit for producing nonconventional fuels under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. This
tax credit is recalculated annually based on each year's qualifyingproduction. The 1999 tight sands tax credit was $0.016 per unit. Tight sands tax credit data for 2000 will be provided to unitholders with year-end tax information. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding use of this credit and other trust tax compliance matters."
