The 5% overriding royalty interest, based on the 25% working interest the Company held in the Dyer Creek property, equates to 1.25% of all revenue received from the property, being paid to the Company. The overriding royalty interest payments are free of any operating or production costs, but net of any county or state production, severance or franchise taxes. As of the date of the assignment, the only tax payable by the Company is the California Franchise Tax levied against revenue received by Zone.
