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 Companys annual Form 10-K filing.
Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Companys Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007 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.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
This Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws, principally, but not only, under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We caution investors that any forward-looking
statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are
based on managements beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management. When used, the words anticipate, believe, expect, intend, may, might,
plan, estimate, project, should, will, result and similar expressions which do not
relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties,
and assumptions and are
not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends,
uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that while
forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not
guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make
such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly,
investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on
results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
- 7 -
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among
others, the factors listed and described at Item 1A Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors
previously described in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the
Form 10-K).
Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our
business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly
changing environment. New risks may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management
to predict all such matters; nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on our business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties,
investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual
results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and
current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to
the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise.
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007
Oil and gas revenues for the first half of 2008 were $6,389,000, an increase of $3,413,000 over
revenues from the same period in 2007.
Natural gas revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $5,197,000 compared to $2,284,000 for
the same period in 2007, an increase of $2,913,000, or 128%. Natural gas volumes for the first
half of 2008 were approximately 679,000 mcf compared to approximately 349,000 mcf during the first
half of 2007, an increase of approximately 330,000 mcf, or 95 %. This increase was due to the
addition of five new Barnett Shale wells that started producing gas during the third quarter of
2007 through the first half of 2008.
Average natural gas prices received were $8.84 per mcf in the first half of 2008 as compared to
$6.55 per mcf in the first half of 2007, an increase of approximately 35%.
- 8 -
Oil sales for the first six months of 2008 were approximately $1,192,000 compared to approximately
$692,000 in the first six months of 2007, an increase of approximately $500,000 or
72%. Oil volumes for the first six months of 2008 were approximately 13,000 bbls compared to
approximately 12,000 bbls during the first six months of 2007, an increase of approximately 1,000
bbls, or 8%.
Average oil prices received were $96.55 per bbl in the first half of 2008 compared to $56.68 per
bbl in the first half of 2007, an increase of approximately 70%.
Interest income for the first half of 2008 was $97,000 as compared with $156,000 for the same
period in 2007, a decrease of $59,000. The amount of cash invested in certificates of deposit
compared to the previous year was not as large, and interest rates for certificates of deposit
reinvested during 2008 were generally lower than those in 2007.
Lease operations in the first half of 2008 were $1,646,000 as compared to $836,000 for the same
period in 2007, an increase of approximately $810,000, or 97%. Approximately $345,000 of this
increase is attributable to several new Barnett Shale horizontal gas wells located in Parker
County, Texas which were placed into production subsequent to the first half of 2007. Another
$110,000 of the increase was due to remedial activity on our Titus County, Texas wells in 2008 to
return several shut-in wells to production. The remaining net increase in operating expenses is
due to the overall increase for oil field services, equipment, and labor as well as additional
remedial repair projects that are in addition to normal operating expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization for the first half of 2008 was $372,000 as compared to
$290,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $82,000, or 28%. The company re-evaluated its
proved oil and gas reserve quantities as of December 31, 2007, and increased its depletion rate for
2008 to 5.883% of the total capitalized cost of oil and gas properties (the full cost pot), as
compared to a rate of 5.041% used at December 31, 2006 and the first three quarters in 2007. In
addition, the undepleted amount of the full cost pot increased from approximately $8,275,000 at the
end of the second quarter of 2007, to approximately $10,566,000 at the end of the second quarter of
2008. The increased basis of the full cost pot and the increased depletion rate resulted in the
increased depreciation, depletion, and amortization amount.
General and administrative costs for the first half of 2008 were $1,333,000 compared to $981,000
for the same period in 2007, an increase of $352,000 or 36%. This increase is due mainly to
payroll costs and associated employee benefit costs. Personnel costs and benefits accounted for
$993,000 of the total general and administrative cost in 2008 compared to $656,000 in 2007, an
increase of $337,000 or 51%. This was due to the addition of several full-time employees during
2008 and the last half of 2007.
Interest expense was approximately $40,000 for the first half of 2008 compared to approximately
$55,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of approximately $15,000. This is due to the
continued reduction of the principal amount of the loan on the building as interest on the note is
calculated and paid based on the unpaid balance of the loan.
- 9 -
Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007
Oil and gas revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $3,272,000, an increase of
$1,421,000 over revenues of $1,851,000 from the same period in 2007.
Natural gas revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $2,549,000 compared to $1,460,000 for the
same period in 2007, an increase of $1,089,000, or 75%. Natural gas volumes for the second quarter
of 2008 were approximately 312,000 mcf compared to approximately 202,000 mcf during the same period
of 2007, an increase of approximately 110,000 mcf, or 54%. This increase was due primarily to the
addition of five new Barnett Shale wells that started producing during the third quarter of 2007
through the first half of 2008.
Average natural gas prices received were $10.20 per mcf in the second quarter of 2008 as compared
to $6.75 per mcf in same period of 2007, an increase of approximately 51%.
Oil sales for the second quarter of 2008 were approximately $723,000 compared to approximately
$391,000 for the same period of 2007, an increase of approximately $332,000 or 85%. Oil volumes
for the second quarter of 2008 were approximately 6,500 bbls compared to a similar production of
approximately 6,500 bbls during the same period of 2007.
Average oil prices received were $110.26 per bbl in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $59.48
per bbl in the same period of 2007, an increase of approximately 85%.
Interest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $23,000 as compared with $71,000 for the same
period in 2007, a decrease of $48,000. The amount of cash invested in certificates of deposit
compared to the previous year was not as large, and interest rates for certificates of deposit
reinvested during 2008 were generally lower than those in 2007.
Lease operations in the second quarter of 2008 were $997,000 as compared to $541,000 for the same
period in 2007, an increase of approximately $456,000, or 84%. Approximately $181,000 of this
increase is attributable to several new Barnett Shale horizontal gas wells located in Parker
County, Texas which were placed into production subsequent to the first half of 2007. Another
$87,000 of the increase was due to remedial activity on our Titus County, Texas wells in 2008 to
return several shut-in wells to production. The remaining net increase in operating expenses is
due to the overall increase for oil field services, equipment, and labor as well as additional
remedial repair projects that are in addition to normal operating expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization for the second quarter of 2008 was $187,000 as compared
to $154,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $33,000, or 21%. The company re-evaluated
its proved oil and gas reserve quantities as of December 31, 2007, and increased its depletion rate
for 2008 to 5.883% of the total capitalized cost of oil and gas properties (the full cost pot),
as compared to a rate of 5.041% used at December 31, 2006 and the first three quarters in 2007. In
addition, the undepleted amount of the full cost pot increased from approximately $8,275,000 at the
end of the second quarter of 2007, to approximately $10,566,000 at the end of the second quarter of
2008. The increased basis of the full cost pot and the increased depletion rate resulted in the
increased depreciation, depletion, and amortization amount.
General and administrative costs for the second quarter of 2008 were $763,000 compared to $533,000
for the same period in 2007, an increase of $230,000 or 43%. This increase is due mainly to
payroll costs and associated employee benefit costs. Personnel costs and benefits accounted for
$550,000 of the total general and administrative costs during the second quarter of 2008 compared
to $330,000 in 2007, an increase of $220,000 or 67%. This was due to the addition of several
full-time employees during 2008 and the last half of 2007.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Companys 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) As of the end of the period covered by this report, Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including
the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon the evaluation, the Companys Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the report.
(b) There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II Other Information
Item 5. Other Information
Joint Drilling Development of North Texas Barnett Shale Leasehold
During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company drilled two wells under its joint Barnett Shale
horizontal drilling development program with an unrelated third party. The Buxton G.U. #1H well
is located on our Weatherford W. Block and the Fuller G.U. #1 well is located on our Weatherford SW
Block. The Buxton G.U. #1H well was drilled to a measured depth of 8,850 ft and began production
of natural gas on June 3, 2008. The well is currently producing gas at an average rate of 350
mcfgpd. The Company owns a 50% working interest in this well.
The Fuller G.U. #1H well was drilled to a measured depth of 9,076 ft. and was completed in the
Barnett Shale. The well was fractured and it is believed that the fracture stimulation
communicated with the underlying Ellenburger Formation based on the large volume of high chloride
water flowed back and tested. The well is currently shut-in awaiting further work. The Company
owns a 50% working interest in this well.
- 11 -
During the first quarter of 2008, the McKeon G.U. #1H well, located on our Peaster, SW Block in the
northwest quarter of Parker County, Texas was drilled to a measured depth of 9,329 feet and cased.
Production of natural gas began on June 13, 2008. The well has produced approximately 43,711 mcfg
through July 30 and is currently producing gas at an average rate of approximately 400 mcfgpd. The
Company owns a 50% working interest in this well.
West Texas
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company initiated a recompletion on one of its existing wells in
Ward County, Texas on its Pyote Block. The Company is attempting to deepen its University K well
to a depth of approximately 14,500. The Company worked on this well for a period of four months
during the second and third quarters of 2008. The primary objective could not be reached due to
the Companys inability to remove or drill through unexpected oilfield tools that were encountered
deep in the wellbore. The Company recompleted the well in some shallower secondary objectives. The
well was recently placed back into production and is currently being test pumped. The Company owns
a 100% working interest in this well.
