Exhibit 31
CERTIFICATION
I, Mike Ulrich, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this annual report on
Form 10-K
of LL&E Royalty Trust, for which The Bank of New York
Mellon Trust Company, N.A. acts as Trustee;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual
report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and
other financial information included in this annual report,
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
cash earnings and distributions and changes in trust corpus of
the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;
4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e))
and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f))
for the registrant and I have:
a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed
under my supervision, to ensure that material information
relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is
being prepared;
b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting,
or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
designed under my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants
disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report
my conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
this report based on such evaluation; and
d) Disclosed in this report any change in the
registrants internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the registrants most recent fiscal quarter
(the registrants fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrants internal
control over financial reporting; and
5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to
the registrants auditors:
a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
the design or operation of internal control over financial
reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
registrants ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial information; and
b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrants internal control over financial reporting.
In giving the foregoing certifications in paragraphs 4 and
5 above, I have relied to the extent I consider reasonable on
information provided to me by the Working Interest Owners and
the Managing General Partner of LL&E Royalty Partnership,
in which the registrant owns a 99% interest.
