Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On December 4, 2013, the Torch Energy Royalty Trust (“Trust”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) to report the announcement of a quarterly distribution. The Trust filed Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Report on Form 8-K/A on December 5, 2013, which amended and restated the Initial Report in its entirety, and which was filed solely for the purpose of clarifying the per unit reference of the distribution. This Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A amends and restates the Initial Report and Amendment No. 1 in its entirety by adjusting the total amount of the distribution down approximately $360,000 due to additional expenses forecasted in the wind down and liquidation of the Trust. As a result, the applicable record date and the distribution date, previously announced as December 13, 2013 and December 23, 2013, respectively, have been adjusted accordingly. Specifically, the distribution is $3,031,349 or 35.2482 cents per unit, payable on December 30, 2013 to unitholders of record on December 23, 2013. The current expected cash reserve is approximately $510,000. A copy of the amended press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this report is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 “Results of Operations and Financial Condition”, not filed, for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This information shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
