Disclosure Of Commission Position On Indemnification

Domestic oil and gas exploration, production and sales are extensively regulated at both the federal and state levels. Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review

-5-

for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal and state, have legal authority to issue, and have issued, rules and regulations affecting the oil and gas industry which often are difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial penalties for noncompliance. State statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and reports concerning operations. Most states where we operate also have statutes and regulations governing conservation matters, including the unitization or pooling of properties. Our operations are also subject to numerous laws and regulations governing plugging and abandonment, discharging materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. The heavy regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases its costs of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. Changes in the laws, rules or regulations, or the interpretation thereof, could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.

2.14     Minority or Royalty Interest Purchases Do Not Allow Us to Control Production

            Completely.

We sometimes acquire less than the controlling working interest in oil and gas properties. In such cases, it is likely that these properties would not be operated by us. When we do not have controlling interest, the operator or the other co-owners might take actions we do not agree with and possibly increase costs or reduce production income in ways we do not agree with.

2.15     Environmental Regulations Can Hinder Production.

Oil and gas activities can result in liability under federal, state and local environmental regulations for activities involving, among other things, water pollution and hazardous waste transport, storage, and disposal. Such liability can attach not only to the operator of record of the well, but also to other parties that may be deemed to be current or prior operators or owners of the wells or the equipment involved. We have inspections performed on our properties to assure environmental law compliance, but inspections may not always be performed on every well, and structural and environmental problems are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.

2.16     Shares Eligible for Future Sale Could Dilute Our Stock Price.

On July 27, 2005, we had 7,892,725 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the purchase of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase 86,300 shares that are being registered for sale by selling shareholders in this offering, we would have a total of 7,979,025 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of July 27, 2005, 2005. The stock and warrants to be sold in this offering will be eligible for resale on the open market. The selling shareholders may also elect to sell their shares in exempt transactions pursuant to the SEC's Rule 144.

Prior to the registration of these shares by this registration statement, the shares sold by the

-6-

Selling Shareholders who are affiliated with the Company are subject to volume restrictions under SEC's Rule 144. Thus, during the three month period prior to a sale, each Selling Shareholder may only sell an amount equal to one percent of the shares of outstanding common stock or equal to the average weekly reported volume of trading during the four weeks prior to the sale, whichever is greater. After the registration of the shares on this registration statement, the Selling Shareholders who are affiliated with the Company will no longer be subject to volume restrictions under SEC's Rule 144 and may sell the shares without being subject to any volume limitations. If all the shares were offered for sale in the public market at the same time, the sales of so many shares could drive down the price of our stock. There is no way of knowing with any certainty what number, if any, of shares will be actually offered for sale in the public market in the future.

3.       USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by selling security holders. We will only receive proceeds if a selling security holder exercises warrants or options to purchase shares of our common stock being offered with this prospectus prior to the sale of those shares. If we receive any proceeds from the exercise of options, it will be added to our working capital.

We have agreed to bear certain expenses in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock being offered and sold by the selling security holders.

4.       SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Some directors and employees of Royale Energy received stock or stock options as payment for their services to the corporation. All selling shareholders who are not listed as officers or directors or Royale Energy are non-executive employees or former employees who received the stock being sold as compensation for their services. A total of 3,193,073 shares are being registered.

5.       PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders may offer the common stock for sale in one or more transactions,

-8-

including block transactions, at a fixed price or prices (which may be changed), at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices determined on a negotiated or competitive bid basis. common stock may be sold by a selling shareholder directly, through agents designated from time to time or to or through broker-dealers designated from time to time.

The common stock may be sold through a broker-dealer acting as agent or broker for the selling shareholders in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers, or to a broker-dealer acting as a principal. In the latter case, the broker-dealer may then resell such common stock to the public at varying prices to be determined by such broker-dealer at the time of resale.

The selling shareholders may also transfer the shares of common stock by gift. Royale Energy does not know of any arrangements made by the selling shareholders for the sale of any shares of common stock. The selling shareholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares being registered for sale.

The selling shareholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the selling shareholders in the distribution of any of the common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discount or commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the number of shares of common stock to be sold, certain information relating to the selling shareholders, the purchase price, the public offering price, if applicable, the name of any underwriter, agent or broker-dealer, and any applicable commissions, discounts or

other items constituting compensation to such underwriters, agents or broker-dealers with respect to a particular offering will be sent in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.

Accounting Matters

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2004, and for the year then ended, have been audited by Sprouse & Anderson, L.L.P., independent public accountants, as indicated in their report contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus and our registration statement on Form S-3. Our financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and for each of the years in the two-year period ending December 31, 2003, incorporated by reference in this prospectus and our registration statement on Form S-3, have been audited by Brown Armstrong, independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect thereto contained in, been incorporated by reference in Royale Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

On July 13, 2004, the audit committee of Royale Energy, Inc., terminated the engagement of the company's independent auditor, Brown Armstrong, as the company's independent auditor. At the time of termination, there were no disagreements between the company and Brown Armstrong on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Brown Armstrong's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. Brown Armstrong reported on the company's financial statements for the fiscal years from 1994 through 2003.

During Royale Energy's most recent two fiscal years and from January 1, 2004 through July 13, 2004, there were no disagreements with Brown Armstrong on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Brown Armstrong, would have caused Brown Armstrong to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

On July 27, 2004, the company's audit committee retained Sprouse & Anderson, LLP, to audit and report on its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2004.

8.       DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

Under Article IV of our Articles of Incorporation, we have eliminated the potential liability of Directors to us, and we are also required to indemnify our Directors against any liability for monetary damages, to the extent allowed by California law. The California Corporations Codeallows corporations, including Royale Energy, to eliminate or limit the liability of directors for monetary damages except to the extent that the acts of the director are in bad faith, constitute intentional or reckless misconduct, result in an improper personal benefit, or amount to an abdication of the directors' duties. The Corporations Code provisions do not affect the availability of equitable remedies against directors nor change the standard of duty to which directors are held.

Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that if California law is amended to provide additional indemnity or relief from liability to directors, such relief or indemnity shall automatically be applied for the benefit of our Directors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that, in its opinion, indemnification of officers and directors for violations of federal securities laws is unenforceable and void as a matter of public policy.

Item 15       Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, Royale Energy is empowered to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or other agent of Royale Energy or its subsidiaries, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. In addition, Royale Energy may indemnify, subject to certain exceptions, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action by or in the right of Royale Energy to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or other agent of Royale Energy or its subsidiaries, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be including reasonably inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances, provided that court approval is obtained in the case of an adverse judgment or settlement. Royale Energy is required to advance expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any proceeding prior to final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking to repay, unless it shall be determined ultimately that the officer or director is entitled to indemnification.

Article IV of Royale Energy's Articles of Incorporation requires Royale Energy to indemnify its officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by California law and authorizes Royale Energy to indemnify its officers and directors in excess of the provisions of Section 317 of the California Corporations Code.

Item 16       Exhibits and Financial Statements

See the Exhibit Index which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17       Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

       (a)       to file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

              (1)       to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

              (2)       to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set for the in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

              (3)       to include any additional material information on the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

-II 2-

       (b)       that, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant will treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

       (c)       to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
