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 intercompany
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 expired 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.
On July 9, 2003, options to purchase 70,000 shares of stock were exercised
and 70,000 shares of common stock were issued. The 75,000 remaining options,
which expire in July, 2004, do not have 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. 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.
4. SALE OF OIL & GAS PROPERTIES
Effective August 1, 2003, the Company sold its working interest in a non-
operated lease for a sales price of $735,000 and the proceeds of the sale
were deposited with a third party intermediary that specializes in deferred
like-kind exchanges under IRC Section 1031 (the "Exchanger"). The Exchanger
holds the sales proceeds pending timely identification of and closing on the
acquisition of potential qualifying like-kind replacement property.
Subsequent to the initial transaction, the Company acquired various mineral
interests from a third party for the sum of $97,000, and the acquisition
price was paid out of the funds being held by the Exchanger. After 180 days,
any funds not used to acquire qualifying properties will be returned to the
Company, and the Company will recognize a taxable gain on the unused
proceeds. It is management's intent to complete this transaction as a tax-
free exchange in accordance with IRC Code Section 1031 within the 180 day
deadline. As a result of management's intention, no estimate for income tax
or tax liability has been established or provided for in the accompanying
financial statements. In the event the transaction is not completed as a
tax-free event, an additional income tax provision will be required.
The Exchanger is currently holding approximately $638,000 for the account of
the Company. The transaction has been reported in the accompanying financial
statements as an Other Account Receivable, with the net proceeds from the
sale being credited to Oil and Gas Properties using the full cost method of
accounting.

=========== ===========
Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to nine months ended September
30, 2002
Oil and gas revenues reported for the first nine months ended September 30,
2003 were $2,368,000, while the oil and gas revenues reported for the same
period in 2002 were $1,278,000. The primary reason for the increase was an
increase in the average selling price of both oil and gas between the two
periods. The average gas sales price during the first nine months of 2003
was approximately $5.22 per mcf as compared with approximately $3.47 per mcf
for 2002, a 50.4% increase between the two periods. The average sales price
for oil for operated properties during the first nine months of 2003 was
approximately $26.88 per bbl as compared with approximately $19.18 per bbl in
2002, a 40.2% increase between the two periods.
Oil and gas production for the first nine months of 2003 was higher than that
in 2002, due primarily to the acquisition of over 25 producing oil and gas
wells that the Company operates, since the 3rd quarter of 2002. Production
from these new acquisitions are fully reflected in the results of operations
for the first nine months of 2003, whereas the properties were not acquired
in the first nine months of 2002 and their production not reflected in the
first nine months of 2002. The majority of the wells acquired are oil wells,
which have significantly increased the oil reserves of the Company.
The increase in lease operations is due to the additional operated wells that
have been acquired. In addition, as the gas prices increased during the
year, the Company increased the amount of work-over projects that needed to
be done.
The depletion calculation for the first six months 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 as well as increase the provision
for the amount of cost to develop proven but undeveloped reserves. In
addition, production is up for the first nine months of 2003 due to the added
properties.
Three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to three months ended
September 30, 2002
Oil and gas revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2003
as compared to the same period in 2002 due primarily to higher average prices
discussed above. Gas prices spiked upward in the 1st Quarter of 2003, and
remained significantly higher for the 2nd quarter and 3rd quarters of 2003,
than the average gas prices for the 2nd quarter and 3rd quarters of 2002.
The average price received for gas in the 3rd quarter of 2003 was $4.95
compared with an average price of $4.70 for the 3rd quarter of 2002. Oil
prices averaged $28.31 in the 3rd quarter of 2003, higher than the average
price of $21.16 in the 3rd quarter of 2002.
In addition to price increases for natural gas and crude oil, production for
the third quarter of 2003 was higher than in 2002 due to the purchase of
several operating interests in both oil and gas properties during the 3rd and
4th quarters of 2002, and the 1st quarter of 2003. Production from these new
acquisitions are fully reflected in the 3rd Quarter of 2003, whereas they
were not acquired and their production not reflected in the 3rd quarter of
2002.
The increase in lease operations is due to the additional operated wells that
have been acquired. In addition, as the gas prices increased during the
year, the Company increased the amount of work-over projects that needed to
be done.
The depletion calculation for the third 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 third quarter of 2003 due to the added properties.
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.
