Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 17, 2014, the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing, among other things, a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $4,778,152.68, or $0.102516 per unit, based principally upon production during the month of February 2014.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As noted in the press release, on February 21, 2014 Burlington informed the Trustee it had discovered a failure by Burlington to properly allocate approximately $4.3 million of severance taxes to the calculation of the Royalty during a period commencing in 2007 until the allocation was corrected in 2012, the effect of which resulted in what it characterized as an overpayment to the Trust in the amount of approximately $3.25 million. Burlington proposed and has begun to recoup the overpayment in installments of $361,215 commencing in March 2014 and continuing in equal installments through November 2014. Burlington has elected not to charge interest against the overpayment, although it has reserved the right to do so. The Trust and its advisors are analyzing the facts and circumstances and will continue communication with Burlington on this claim.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
