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, 2001 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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the board of directors of the Company
authorized the issuance of 55,667 shares of restricted common stock at a
value of $.30 per share, along with payment of $17,800 cash and an option
to purchase additional shares of restricted common stock of the Company in
consideration for the purchase of an undivided 10% working interest (7.7%
net revenue interest), in certain oil and gas leases covering 903 mineral
acres in Tarrant County, Texas. The stock option agreement grants a one
year option in which to purchase an additional 70,000 restricted shares of
the Company`s common stock at cost of $.30 per share.


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

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to six months ended June 30, 2001

Oil and gas revenues reported for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
$803,000, while the oil and gas revenues reported for the same period in
2001 were $1,461,000. The primary reason for the decline was a significant
reduction in the average selling price of both oil and gas between the two
periods. The average gas sales price for operated properties during the
first six months of 2001 was $5.75 per mcf as compared with $2.81 per mcf
for 2002, a 51% decrease between the two periods. The average sales price
for oil for operated properties during the first six months of 2001 was
$26.92 per bbl as compared with $22.41 per bbl in 2002, a 17% decrease
between the two periods.

Gas production for operated properties during the first six months of 2002
decreased by approximately 7% as compared to operated gas production for
the same period in 2001. Oil production for the first six months in 2002
increased by approximately 29%. Gas sales for the first six months of 2002
represented approximately 89% of total oil and gas revenue, while oil sales
contributed approximately 11% of the total. As a result, the significant
decrease in gas prices between the periods coupled with a slight decline in
production, caused the decrease in reported oil and gas revenues.

Lease operations in the six months ended June 30, 2002 are slightly lower
than in 2001, due to a reduction in work-over projects and the postponing
of unnecessary maintenance projects. As natural gas prices fell during
2001 and continued to fall into the first half of 2002, the Company
deferred several re-work projects as well as other capital expenditure and
acquisition projects until future periods when gas prices increase and
become more stable.

The depletion calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is lower
than that calculated in 2001 as the company re-evaluated and increased its
proved oil and gas reserve quantities as of January 1, 2002. Production
for the first half of 2002 is also slightly lower than the production for
the same period in 2001, thus the percentage of reserves produced during
the 1st half of 2002 is a smaller percentage of the overall reserve base,
reducing the rate of depletion to be taken against the full cost pool of
unamortized oil and gas assets.

Approximately $24,000 of the increase in General and administrative costs
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was due to an August, 2001 increase
in management fees charged by a related entity which provides management,
accounting and administrative services to the Company.

The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002
compared to the same period in 2001, is due to the significant reduction of
the principal amount of the note payable to a related party.






Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to three months ended June 30,
2001

Oil and gas revenues reported for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are
$375,000, which is $558,000 less than the $933,000 reported for the same
period in 2001. The principal reason for the decline was a significant
reduction in the average selling price of both oil and gas. The average
gas sales price for operated properties during the three month period ended
June 30, 2001 was $4.70 per mcf as compared with $3.28 per mcf for the same
period in 2002,approximately a 30% decrease between the two periods. The
average oil sales price for operated properties during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 was $26.20 per bbl as compared with $24.79 per bbl in
2002, approximately a 5% decrease between the two periods.

Gas production for operated properties during the three months ended June
30, 2002 decreased by approximately 10% as compared to operated gas
properties for the same period in 2001. Oil production for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 increased by approximately 600 bbls or 72%. Gas
sales for the 2nd quarter of 2002 represent approximately 94% of the total
oil and gas sales whereas oil sales represent approximately 6% of the
total. Therefore, the increased oil production had an insignificant effect
on overall sales for the period.

In addition to the above, the 2nd quarter gas sales reported are
approximately $104,000 less than gas revenue that was actually booked
during the period due to timing of accruals. The Company had accrued this
amount during the first quarter of 2002 in anticipation of the receipt of
revenue from non-operated properties that applied to revenues from prior
years and for revenue from a non-operated work-over well and development
well completed during the 1st quarter of 2002. These revenues were
actually received and booked during the 2nd quarter ending on June 30,
2002.

Approximately $12,000 of the increase in General and administrative costs
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was due to an August, 2001
increase in management fees charged by a related entity which provides
management, accounting and administrative services to the Company.

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002
compared to the same period in 2001, is due to the significant reduction of
the principal amount of the note payable to a related party.


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.
