REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustee and Unitholders of

Tidelands Royalty Trust “B” and Subsidiary:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of Tidelands Royalty Trust “B” and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Trustee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, these consolidated financial statements were prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities, and trust corpus of Tidelands Royalty Trust “B” and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and distributable income and changes in trust corpus for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

TIDELANDS ROYALTY TRUST “B” AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

Tidelands Royalty Trust “B” (the “Trust”) was established on June 1, 1954 with a transfer of contract rights to certain properties to the Trust in exchange for units of beneficial interest. The contract rights enable the Trust to receive an interest in any oil, natural gas or other mineral leases obtained by Gulf Oil Corporation, now Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (“Chevron”), which is a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation and its assignees in a designated area of the Gulf of Mexico during a 50-year period that expired on April 30, 2001.

The Trust is required under its Indenture to distribute all income, after paying its liabilities and obligations, to the unitholders quarterly. The Trust cannot invest any of its money for any purpose and cannot engage in a trade or business.

The Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tidelands Royalty “B” Corporation (“Tidelands Corporation”), holds title to interests in properties that are situated offshore of Louisiana. Ninety-five percent of all oil, natural gas, and other mineral royalties collected by this subsidiary are retained by and delivered to the Trust. Tidelands Corporation, like the Trust, is prohibited from engaging in a trade or business and does only those things necessary for the administration and liquidation of its properties. The Trust is authorized to pay the expenses of Tidelands Corporation should it be necessary.

The Trust and its subsidiary have no employees. Tidelands Corporation has entered into an arrangement with Marine Petroleum Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marine Petroleum Trust, an affiliate of the Trust) to share certain administrative expenses related to the use of office space that was leased through April 30, 2014 and to assist the trustee in the administration of the Trust. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, Tidelands Corporation paid $0, $0 and $9,000, respectively, to Marine Petroleum Corporation as reimbursement for the use of such office space. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, Marine Petroleum Trust owned 32.6% of the Trust’s outstanding units of beneficial interest.

On March 27, 2001, the unitholders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2001, approved an amendment to the Indenture to extend the term of the Trust to April 30, 2021.

The consolidated financial statements include the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tidelands Corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

At the time the Trust was established, no determinable market value was available for the assets transferred to the Trust; consequently, nominal values were assigned. Accordingly, no allowance for depletion has been included.

Tidelands’ revenues are derived from production payments and overriding royalty interests related to properties located in the Gulf of Mexico.

No provision has been made for U.S. Federal income taxes on the Trust’s income since such taxes are the liability of the unitholders.

U.S. Federal income taxes are provided on the income of Tidelands Corporation (which specifically excludes the 95% net profits interest to be retained by and delivered to the Trust) after deducting statutory depletion. There were no significant deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Tidelands Corporation uses the cash method of reporting for Federal income taxes.

The primary difference between the actual tax expense of Tidelands Corporation and the expected tax expense is due to the fact that only 5% of Tidelands Corporation’s income (i.e., excluding the 95% net profits interest retained by and delivered to the Trust) is subject to U.S. Federal income tax.

Tax positions taken by the Trust related to the Trust’s pass-through status and Federal state tax positions have been reviewed, and the Trustee is of the opinion that material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained by examination. In accordance with the Trust’s basis of accounting discussed in Note 2, the Trust would only recognize the impact of tax positions that were not upheld at the time of payment. As of December 31, 2016, the Trust’s tax years 2013 and thereafter remain subject to examination.

Tidelands Corporation recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Trust and Tidelands Corporation to concentrations of credit risk are primarily investments in cash equivalents. The Trust and Tidelands Corporation place their cash investments with financial institutions that the Trustee considers creditworthy and limit the amount of credit exposure from any one financial institution. The estimated fair values of cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

Tidelands had cash and cash equivalents of $523,892 and $579,803 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which consisted of cash deposits, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds, and money market accounts.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified cash basis method of accounting requires the Trustee to make various estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

Distributable income per unit is determined by dividing distributable income by the number of units of beneficial interest outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the approximate percentage of royalties actually received from each royalty payor for the past three years:

The financial statements of Tidelands have been prepared on the modified cash basis method and are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Under the modified cash basis method:

The financial statements of Tidelands differ from financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP because of the following:

This comprehensive basis of accounting corresponds to the accounting principles permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts.

Texas imposes a franchise tax that applies to most business entities that are formed or qualified to do business, or that are otherwise doing business, in Texas. Under the Texas franchise tax statute, a 0.75% tax (in certain cases not applicable here, the tax rate is 0.475%) is imposed for reports due in 2017 on each taxable entity’s taxable margin that is apportioned to Texas. Taxable margin is generally defined as revenues less certain costs, as provided under the statute. Most entities that provide owners with limited liability protection, including trusts, are considered to be taxable entities for purposes of the Texas franchise tax. The statute provides certain limited exemptions from the tax, including exclusions for certain “passive entities” that satisfy specified statutory requirements as described below.

Under the Texas franchise tax statute, “passive entities,” including trusts, that meet the following requirements, are exempt from the Texas franchise tax: (a) the trust cannot be a business trust within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(b); (b) at least 90% of the trust’s income for the taxable year must be derived from passive sources (e.g., royalties, bonuses, delay rental income from mineral properties, dividends, interest, gains from the sale of securities); and (c) no more than 10% of the trust’s income for the taxable year can be derived from an active trade or business (e.g., rent, certain income received by a non-operator under a joint operating agreement pursuant to which the operator is the member of an affiliated group that includes such non-operator). An entity will determine on an annual basis whether it meets the requirements to be treated as a “passive entity” for Texas franchise tax purposes. The Trustee believes that all or substantially all of the income of the Trust currently is passive, as it consists of royalty income from the sale of oil and natural gas, dividends and interest income. Subject to any change in the sources of income derived by the Trust or any change in the Indenture, the Trust expects that it will continue to qualify as a passive entity that is not subject to the franchise tax.

If the Trust is exempt from the Texas franchise tax as a passive entity, each unitholder that is subject to the Texas franchise tax as a taxable entity under the Texas Tax Code should generally include its share of the Trust’s revenue in its franchise tax computation. The Texas franchise tax does not apply to natural persons. The Trust anticipates that it will be a passive entity in the tax year ending in 2016.

Oil and natural gas reserve information relating to the Trust’s royalty interests is not presented because such information is not available to the Trust without unreasonable effort or expense. The Trust’s share of oil and natural gas produced for its royalty interests was as follows:

The following quarterly financial information for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Trustee, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included.
