Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on November 29, 2010, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”), as Trustee of Mesa Offshore Trust (the “Trust”), made a second and final liquidating distribution in the amount of $0.012984 per unit, for an aggregate distribution of approximately $934,591, to unit holders on November 29, 2010.  The final liquidating distribution was made in cash to unit holders of record as of February 22, 2010, the date on which the Trust’s unit transfer books were closed.

 

After giving effect to this final liquidating distribution, the Trust had a cash balance of approximately $506,000 and estimated current liabilities (based on actual current liabilities together with final accounting, tax, legal and other termination costs estimated by vendors) of approximately $465,000.  The balance represents an immaterial amount of reserves to cover any remaining expenses and contingencies, and no further distributions will be made to former unit holders of the Trust.  The Trust’s dissolution activities are essentially complete.  Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K will be the final report filed by the Trust pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

The Trust intends to file a Form 15 terminating the registration of its units of beneficial interest under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act promptly after the filing of this Report on Form 8-K.
