Note 4 – BENEFICIARIES’ EQUITY

 

Pursuant to the Court Order of November 29, 1982, the Trustees were directed to create and maintain an account designated as “Principal Charges.” This account constitutes a first and prior lien of certificate holders on any property transferable to the reversioner and reflects an allocation of beneficiaries’ equity between the certificate holders and the reversioner. This account is neither an asset nor a liability of the Trust. Rather, this account maintains and represents a balance which will be payable to the certificate holders of record from the reversioner at the end of the Trust. The balance in this account consists of attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for adverse parties pursuant to the Court Order in connection with litigation commenced in 1972 relating to the Trustees’ powers and duties under the Trust Agreement and the costs of homes and surface lands acquired in accordance with provisions of a lease with U.S. Steel Corporation, net of an allowance to amortize the cost of the land based on actual shipments of taconite and net of a credit for disposition of tangible assets.

 

Following is an analysis of this account for the period ended as of:

 

     
     
  June 30, 2013
Attorneys’ fees and expenses $  1,024,834
Costs of surface lands    6,606,815
Cumulative shipment credits    (2,437,783)
Cumulative asset disposition credits    (372,124)
Principal Charges account balance $  4,821,742

 

Upon termination of the Trust, the Trustees shall either sell tangible assets or obtain a loan with tangible assets as security to provide monies for distribution to the certificate holders in the amount of the Principal Charges account balance.

Note 6 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220 for the purpose of requiring the reporting of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amounts being reclassified are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. This amendment does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. Rather, this amendment requires more information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, with this additional information either shown on the face of the income statement or within the notes to the financial statements. For public companies, this ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Trust adopted this amendment required by ASU No. 2013-02 beginning with its first quarter in 2013, and has elected to present the required information within the notes to the financial statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Periods of Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

 

The Trust owns interest in 12,033 acres on the Mesabi Iron Range Formation in northeastern Minnesota, most of which are under lease to major iron ore producing companies. Due to the Trustees’ election pursuant to Section 646 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, commencing with year 1989 the Trust is not subject to federal and Minnesota corporate income taxes. The Trust is now a grantor trust. Shares of beneficial interest in the Trust are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GNI” (CUSIP No. 391064102).

 

The terms of the Great Northern Iron Ore Properties Trust Agreement, created December 7, 1906, state that the Trust shall continue for twenty years after the death of the last survivor of eighteen persons named in the Trust Agreement. The last survivor of these eighteen persons died on April 6, 1995. Accordingly, the Trust terminates twenty years from April 6, 1995, that being April 6, 2015.

 

At the end of the Trust on April 6, 2015, the certificates of beneficial interest (shares) in the Trust will cease to trade on the New York Stock Exchange and thereafter will represent only the right to receive certain distributions payable to the certificate holders of record at the time of the termination of the Trust. Upon termination, the Trust is obligated to distribute ratably to these certificate holders the net monies remaining in the hands of the Trustees (after paying and providing for all expenses and obligations of the Trust), plus the balance in the Principal Charges account (this account is explained in the Trust’s Annual Report sent to all certificate holders every year). All other Trust property (most notably the Trust’s mineral properties and the active leases) must be conveyed and transferred to the reversioner (currently Glacier Park Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips Company) under the terms of the Trust Agreement.

 

We have previously provided information in our various Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report, about the final distribution payable to the certificate holders upon the Trust’s termination. The exact final distribution, though not determinable at this time, will generally consist of the sum of the Trust’s net monies (essentially, total assets less liabilities and properties) and the balance in the Principal Charges account, less any and all expenses and obligations of the Trust upon termination. To offer a hypothetical example, without factoring in any expenses and obligations of the Trust upon its termination, and using the financial statement values as of December 31, 2012, the net monies were approximately $7,719,000 and the Principal Charges account balance was approximately $4,871,000, resulting in a final distribution payable of approximately $12,590,000, or about $8.39 per share. After payment of this final distribution, the certificates of beneficial interest (shares) would be cancelled and have no further value. It is important to note, however, that the actual net monies on hand and the Principal Charges account balance will most likely fluctuate during the ensuing years and will not be “final” until after the termination and wind-down of the Trust. The Trust offers this example to further inform investors about the conceptual nature of the final distribution and does not imply or guarantee a specific known final distribution amount.

 

Results of Operations:

Royalties decreased $2,296,134 and $4,588,455 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012, due mainly to reduced taconite shipments from our Trust lands and a lower overall average earned royalty rate caused by lower producer price indices.

 

Interest and other income decreased $3,801 and $7,845 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012, due mainly to reduced yields on the Trust’s investments.

 

Costs and expenses decreased $39,033 and $57,163 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012, due mainly to legal expenses incurred in the prior year pertaining to lease administration, which were not required in the current year.

 

At their meeting held on June 17, 2013, the Trustees declared a distribution of $2.50 per share, amounting to $3,750,000 payable July 31, 2013, to certificate holders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2013. The Trustees have now declared two quarterly distributions in 2013. The first, in the amount of $2.25 per share, was paid on April 30, 2013, to certificate holders of record on March 28, 2013; and the second, that being the current distribution. The first and second quarter 2012 distributions were $2.25 and $3.00 per share, respectively. The Trustees intend to continue quarterly distributions and set the record date as of the last business day of each quarter. The next distribution will be paid October 31, 2013 to certificate holders of record on September 30, 2013.

 

A mining agreement dated January 1, 1959, with U.S. Steel Corporation provides that one-half of annual earned royalty income, after satisfaction of minimum royalty payments, shall be applied, in lieu of royalty payments, to reimburse the lessee for a portion of its cost of acquisition of surface lands overlying the leased mineral deposits, which surface lands are then conveyed to the Trustees. There are surface lands yet to be purchased, the costs of which are yet unknown and will not be known until the actual purchases are made.

Liquidity:

In the interest of preservation of principal of Court-approved reserves and guided by the restrictive provisions of Section 646 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, monies are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities with maturity dates not to exceed three years and, along with cash flows from operations, are deemed adequate to meet currently foreseeable liquidity needs.

 

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

- None

 

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Trust conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting during the Trust’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
