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.

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

Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to nine months ended
September 30, 2001

Oil and gas revenues reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were
$1,278,000, while the oil and gas revenues reported for the same period in 2001
were $1,901,000. The primary reason for the decline was a decline 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 nine months of 2001
was $4.87 per mcf as compared with $2.97 per mcf for 2002, a 39% decrease
between the two periods. The average sales price for oil for operated
properties during the first nine months of 2001 was $26.22 per bbl as compared
with $23.37 per bbl in 2002, a 10.8% decrease between the two periods.

Gas production for operated properties during the first nine months of 2002 was
approximately 249,000 mcf as compared to operated gas production of
approximately 289,000 mcf for the same period in 2001, a decrease of
approximately 13.9%. Oil production for the first nine months in 2002 was
approximately 3,100 bbls, a decrease of 12.9% over the approximate 3,500 bbls
produced during the same period in 2001.

Gas sales for the first nine months of 2002 represented approximately 87% of
total oil and gas revenue, while oil sales contributed approximately 13% 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 three quarters of 2002 is also slightly lower than the production for
the same period in 2001, thus the percentage of reserves produced during the
first three quarters 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 $40,000 of the increase in general and administrative costs for
the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended September
30, 2001

Oil and gas revenues reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are
$475,000, which is $35,000 more than the $440,000 reported for the same period
in 2001. The principal reason for the increase was an increase in the average
selling price of both oil and gas for the third quarter of 2002 over the third
quarter of 2001. Although the average gas prices for the first three quarters
of 2002 decreased significantly over those of the first three quarters of 2001,
the gas prices rallied a bit and were substantially the same as the average
third quarter gas prices for the previous year. The average gas sales price for
operated properties during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 was
$3.08 per mcf as compared with $3.08 per mcf for the same period in 2002. The
average oil sales price for operated properties during the three months ended
September 30, 2001 was $26.22 per bbl as compared with $23.37 per bbl in 2002,
approximately a 10.9% decrease between the two periods.

Gas production for operated properties during the three months ended September
30, 2002 decreased by approximately 26.9% as compared to operated gas
properties for the same period in 2001. Oil production for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 also decreased by approximately 854 bbls. Gas sales
for the 3rd quarter of 2002 represent approximately 85.7% of the total oil and
gas sales whereas oil sales represent approximately 14.3% of the total.

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 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.



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.
