SPINDLETOP OIL & GAS CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or
those normally made in the Company's annual Form 10-K filing. Accordingly,
the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2002 for further information.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts
of Spindletop Oil & Gas Co., a Texas corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Prairie Pipeline Co., a Texas corporation and Spindletop
Drilling Company, a Texas Corporation. All significant inter-company
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition,
the results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries for the interim periods presented.

2. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

Effective October 7, 2002, the board of directors of the Company authorized
the issuance of 25,000 shares of restricted common stock at a value of $0.30
per share, along with payment of cash, and an option to purchase an
additional 75,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company in
consideration for the purchase of certain oil and gas leases in North Texas.
The options granted under the stock option agreement expire in July, 2004.

The above options, along with options to acquire another 70,000 shares of
common stock of the Company, which expire in July 2003, were accounted for in
2002, using FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
which had the effect of charging the oil and gas properties account with
$26,850, which will be amortized using the full cost method of accounting.

As of March 31, 2003, none of the options to purchase 145,000 shares of the
Company's common stock have been exercised, and none of the options have had
a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128), which
was adopted in 1997 for all years presented. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. All calculations have
been adjusted for the effects of the stock split discussed in Note 2. The
adoption of SFAS 128 had no effect on previously reported EPS. Diluted EPS
is computed based on the weighted number of shares outstanding, plus the
additional common shares that would have been issued had the options
outstanding been exercised.

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

Results of Operations

2003 Compared to 2002

Oil and gas revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to the same period in 2002 due primarily to higher average prices.
Gas prices spiked upward in the 1st Quarter of 2003, going from an average
price of $4.05 per mcf in January 2003 to a high of $7.47 per mcf in March
2003. The average price received in the first three months of 2003 was $5.51
per mcf as compared to an average price for the first quarter of 2002 of $1.91
per mcf. Oil prices also were higher in 2003 than in the previous year.
Average prices per barrel were $32.77 in 2003 compared to $19.91 in 2002.

In addition to price increases for natural gas and crude oil, oil production
for the first quarter of 2003 significantly increased versus 2002 levels due
to the acquisition of several operated oil properties during the 3rd and 4th
quarters of 2002. These properties were on-line and being produced during
the first three months of 2003.

Lease operations in the first quarter of 2003 are higher than in 2002, due to
an increase in work-over projects. Work over projects that were postponed in
2002 due to decreased revenue from low product prices were put back on the
schedule as prices and cash flow increased during the first quarter. In
addition, the Company's total well count increased due to the acquisitions of
additional oil and gas properties during the 2nd half of 2002.

The depletion calculation for the first quarter of 2003 is higher than that
calculated in 2002. The Company has re-evaluated and increased its proved
oil and gas reserve quantities, but at the same time increased the
capitalized costs that are being amortized. In addition, production is up
for the first quarter of 2003 due to the added properties.

General and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2003 were up
slightly due to the increased administrative activity involved with
evaluation of potential property purchases, and the resulting administrative
and accounting work necessary to process new acquisitions and the related
accounting.


Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company's operating capital needs, as well as its capital spending
program are generally funded from cash flow generated by operations. Because
future cash flow is subject to a number of variables, such as the level of
production and the sales price of oil and natural gas, the Company can
provide no assurance that its operations will provide cash sufficient to
maintain current levels of capital spending. Accordingly, the Company may be
required to seek additional financing from third parties in order to fund its
exploration and development programs.





Item 4. - Controls and Procedures
Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of
the filing of this Form 10-Q, our Acting Principal Executive Officer and
Acting Chief Financial Officer, believe our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are
effective. There were not any significant changes in internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, and there has not been any corrective action
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
