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, 2003 for further information.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of
Spindletop Oil & Gas Co., a Texas corporation ("the Company") 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. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on
EITF Issue No. 04-2, "Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible
Assets and Related Issues" (previously addressed as Issue 03-O), that mineral
rights should be considered tangible assets for accounting purposes and should
be separately disclosed in the financial statements or footnotes. The EITF
acknowledged that this consensus requires an amendment to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" to
remove mineral rights as an example of an intangible assets. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued FASB Staff Position Nos.
FAS 141-1 and FAS 142-1, that amend SFAS Nos. 141 and 142, respectively, to
characterize mineral rights as tangible assets. The EITF is still considering
whether oil and gas drilling rights are subject to the classification and
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 142 if they are determined to be intangible
assets. There has been no resolution of this issue as described in EITF Issue
No. 03-S, "Application of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
to Oil and Gas Companies."

The Company classifies the cost of oil and gas mineral rights as property and
equipment and believes this is consistent with oil and gas accounting and
industry practice. Although it appears unlikely based on the consensus
reached in EITF Issue No. 04-2, if the EITF were to determine that under EITF
Issue No. 03-S oil and gas mineral rights are intangible assets and are
subject to the applicable classification and disclosure provisions of SFAS
No.142, certain costs would need to be reclassified from property and
equipment to intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheets. These
amounts would represent oil and gas mineral rights. In addition, the

- 7 -
disclosures required by SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 would be made in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements. There would be no effect on the
consolidated statements of income or cash flows as the intangible assets
related to oil and gas mineral rights would continue to be amortized under
the full cost method of accounting.


3. 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 restricted common stock
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph were exercised and 70,000
shares of restricted common stock were issued. The remaining 75,000 options,
which expire in July, 2004 did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share at December 31, 2003.

On April 23, 2004, the Company purchased 83,334 shares of Treasury Stock for
a purchase price of $40,323 ($0.4839 per share). This acquisition brought the
total number of shares in the Company's treasury to 186,668 shares at a total
cost of $58,406.

On April 28, 2004, options to purchase 75,000 shares of restricted common
stock described in the first paragraph of this footnote were exercised, and
75,000 restricted shares of common stock were issued for the option price of
$0.30 per share. The Company issued the 75,000 shares out of the Company's
treasury stock, accounting for the issuance using the first-in, first-out
basis ("FIFO"). After the two transactions described above, the Company has
111,668 shares remaining in its Treasury Stock account at a cost of $45,281.


4. 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

Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003

Total oil and gas revenues reported for the first six months ended June 30,
2004 were $1,830,000, while total oil and gas revenues reported for the same
period in 2003 were $1,302,000. Oil sales for the period in 2004 were
$397,000 compared to $209,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of
approximately $188,000. Average oil prices for production sold in the first
six months of 2004 was $34.90 per bbl compared to $31.32 per bbl for the first
six months of 2003. Gas sales in the first six months of 2004 were
$1,433,000 compared to $1,093,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of
approximately $340,000. Average gas prices for production sold in the first
six months of 2004 was $5.10 per Mcf compared to $5.84 per Mcf in 2003. The
primary cause for the increase in production in the first six months of 2004
compared to 2003 is the Olex wells in the Barnett Shale field which were not
drilled and on production in 2003.

The increase in lease operations is due to additional operated wells drilled
by the Company along with an increase of work on wells needing maintenance or
workovers and increased costs by vendors and suppliers.

The depletion calculation for the first six months of 2004 is higher than that
calculated in 2003. 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 six months of 2004 due to the added properties.

General and administrative costs for the first half of 2004 was 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. In
addition, the management fee charged by a related entity was increased by
$10,000 per month over that reported in the 1st half of 2003.


Three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to three months ended June 30, 2003

Total oil and gas revenues reported for the three months ended June 30, 2004
were $919,000, while total oil and gas revenues reported for the same period
in 2003 were $584,000. Oil sales for the period in 2004 were $197,000
compared to $114,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of approximately
$83,000. Average oil prices for production sold in the second quarter of 2004
was $37.06 per bbl compared to $28.91 per bbl for the second quarter of 2003.
Gas sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $722,000 compared to
$470,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of approximately $252,000.
Average gas prices for production sold in the second quarter of 2004 was $5.20
per Mcf compared to $5.74 per Mcf in 2003.


- 9 -


In addition to price differences for natural gas and crude oil, production for
the second quarter of 2004 was higher than in 2003.

Lease operations in the second quarter of 2004 are higher than in 2003, due to
an increase in the number of properties being operated and related increases
in operating costs and general inflation.

The depletion calculation for the second quarter of 2004 is higher than that
calculated in 2003. 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 second
quarter of 2004 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.
