ITEM 8.01.  Other Information.

 

On February 6, 2013 The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) of Eastern American Natural Gas Trust (the “Trust”), received the December 31, 2012 summary reserve report (the “Report”) prepared for the Trust by the Trust’s independent reserve engineers, Ryder Scott Company (“Ryder Scott”).

 

As shown in the Report, Ryder Scott estimated the discounted future net revenues attributable to the term net profits interest held by the Trust, discounted at 10% annually and using prices under the gas purchase contract as described in the Report during the 12-month period prior to December 31, 2012 in accordance with SEC regulations, at approximately $796,000.  The price used was $3.609 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

 

As described in the Report, the estimate relates solely to the term net profits interest held by the Trust, and does not include the perpetual net profits interest which the Trust was required to sell and did sell on January 10, 2013, with an effective date of October 1, 2012.  Also as described in the Report, the estimate is limited to the estimated net profits through May 15, 2013, when the term net profits interest will automatically revert back to Energy Corporation of America.

 

A copy of the Report, dated January 11, 2013, is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
