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, 2004 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 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. Although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures,
including a description of significant accounting policies normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.


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

- 7 -
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
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

During 2002, the board of directors of the Company entered into two stock
option agreements with third-parties and issued stock options to purchase up
to 145,000 shares of restricted common stock at a value of $0.30 per share
and other consideration to obtain interests in oil and gas properties. On
July 9, 2003, options to purchase 70,000 shares of stock were exercised and
70,000 shares of common stock were issued. On April 30, 2004 options to
purchase 75,000 shares of common stock were exercised and 75,000 shares were
issued using treasury stock of the Company.

The Company has elected to account for the options using FASB Statement 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (FAS No. 123) which requires the
use of option valuation models. The fair value of these options was estimated
at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumption ranges: risk free interest rates of 1-2%, volatility
factor of 170, and an expected life of 1 year - 1.5 years. Using the Black-
Scholes option evaluation model, the weighted average value of the option
granted during 2002 was $0.19, per option respectively. The effect of
applying the fair value method of FAS No. 123 to the stock options granted
during 2002 had a $26,850 effect which was applied to the oil and gas
properties and will be amortized using the full cost method. These options had
no dilutive effect on earnings per share

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

2005 Compared to 2004

Oil and gas revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
This was due to an increase in oil and gas prices and in increase in natural
gas volumes. There was an approximate 12 % increase in average gas prices
from $4.94 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2004 to $5.55 per Mcf in the first
quarter of 2005. Average oil prices received by the Company also increased
approximately 41 % from $31.93 per bbl in the first quarter of 2004 to
$45.14 per bbl in the first quarter of 2005. Natural gas production was
approximately 153,540 Mcf in the first three months of 2005 compared to
142,493 Mcf in the first three months of 2004, an increase of approximately
8 %. Oil production was approximately 5,453 Bbls in the first quarter of
2005 compared to 4,707 in the first quarter of 2004, an approximate decrease
of 16 %.

Lease operations in the first quarter of 2005 were lower than in 2004. This
is the result of the Company cutting back on work-over related expenses
during the first quarter of 2005 after re-evaluating the projects that need
to be concentrated on during the year.

The depletion calculation for the first quarter of 2005 is higher than that
calculated in 2004. 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 was up for the first
quarter of 2005 due to the added properties.

General and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2005 were up due to
the addition of several full-time employees during 2005 and the increased use
of independent consultants and contractors as the Company expanded its
operations into drilling wells and identification and acquisition of projects
to develop. Costs associated with these new employees and associated benefits
were included in the first quarter of 2005, but not in the first quarter of
2004.


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

(a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, Spindletop Oil & Gas
Co. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
Participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Acting
Principal Executive Office and Acting Principal Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the
evaluation, the Company's Acting Principal Executive Officer and Acting
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) which is
required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

(b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal
controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out this evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
