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, 2024, 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. COMMON STOCK
Effective June 10, 2025, the Company repurchased
The Company has not approved nor authorized any standing purchase program for its common stock.
3. CONTINGENCIES
On July 23, 2020, a subsidiary of the Company received notice of a lawsuit filed in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana against the Company’s subsidiary and numerous other oil and gas companies alleging a pollution claim for properties operated by the defendants in Louisiana, and the Company’s subsidiary filed an answer. The Plaintiffs filed a First Supplemental and Amending Petition for Damages on January 21, 2021. This litigation was dismissed without prejudice as to the Company’s subsidiary on the plaintiff’s motion, by Order of Dismissal dated February 20, 2025.
On December 11, 2024, a subsidiary of the Company received notice of a new lawsuit filed in LaFourche Parish, Louisiana against one of the Company’s subsidiaries and numerous other oil and gas companies alleging pollution claims for properties operated by defendants in Louisiana and the Company’s subsidiary filed an answer. The litigation is in the early stages. Management is assessing the lawsuit, and it will have regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of contingencies for litigation. The Company plans to defend its subsidiary vigorously in this matter.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 19, 2025, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Item 2. - Management's 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 “Management’s 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 management’s 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.
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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been changes to the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), including significant global economic and other global factors occurring during 2025 which are described in the following paragraphs.’
Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate widely. Among the interrelated factors that can or could cause these price fluctuations are:
| · | the duration and economic and financial impact of epidemics, pandemics or other public health issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; |
| · | domestic and worldwide supplies of, and consumer and industrial/commercial demand for oil and natural gas; |
| · | domestic and international drilling activity; |
| · | the actions of other oil producing and exporting nations, including the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; |
| · | worldwide economic conditions, geopolitical factors and political conditions, including, but not limited to, the imposition of tariffs or trade or other economic sanctions, political instability or armed conflict in oil and gas producing regions; |
| · | the availability, proximity and capacity of appropriate transportation, gathering, processing, compression, storage, and refining and export facilities; |
| · | the price and availability of, and demand for, competing energy sources, including alternative energy sources; |
| · | the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements and climate change-related legislation, policies, initiatives and developments. |
| · | technological advances and consumer and industrial/commercial behavior, preferences and attitudes, in each case affecting energy generation, transmission, storage and consumption: |
| · | the nature and extent of governmental regulation, including environmental and other climate change-related regulation, regulation of financial derivative transactions and hedging activities, tax laws, regulations and laws, and regulations with respect to the import and export of oil, and natural gas and related commodities: |
| · | the level and effect of trading in commodity futures markets, including trading by commodity price speculators and others; and |
| · | natural disasters, weather conditions and changes in weather patterns. |
10
The above-described factors and the volatility of commodity prices make it difficult to predict oil and natural gas prices in 2025 and thereafter. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prices for oil and/or natural gas will sustain, or increase from, their current levels, nor can there be any assurance that the prices for oil and/or natural gas will not decline. The Company continues to assess and monitor the impact of these factors and consequences on the Company and its operations.
Our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations depend to a great extent on prevailing commodity prices. Accordingly, substantial and extended declines in commodity prices can materially and adversely affect the amount of cash flow we have available for our capital expenditures and operating costs; the terms on which we can access the credit and capital markets; our results of operations; and our financial condition. As a result, the trading price of our common stock may be materially and adversely affected. Lower commodity prices can also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Substantial and extended declines in the prices of these commodities can render uneconomic a portion of our exploration and development projects, resulting in our having to make downward adjustments to our estimated reserves and also possibly shut in or plug and abandon certain wells. In addition, significant prolonged decreases in commodity prices may cause the expected future cash flows from our properties to fall below their respective net book values, which would require us to write down the value of our properties. Such reserve write-downs and asset impairments can materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position and, in turn, the trading price of our common stock.
Rising inflation and other uncertainties regarding the global economy, financial environment, and global conflict could lead to an extended national or global economic recession. A slowdown in economic activity caused by a recession would likely reduce national and worldwide demand for oil and natural gas and result in lower commodity prices. Prolonged, substantial decreases in oil and natural gas prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations, and could further limit the Company's access to liquidity and credit and could hinder its ability to satisfy its capital requirements.
In the past several years, capital and credit markets have experienced volatility and disruption. Given the levels of market volatility and disruption, the availability of funds from those markets may diminish substantially. Further, arising from concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of borrowers specifically, the cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders have raised interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, or altogether ceased to provide funding to borrowers.
Due to these potential capital and credit market conditions, the Company cannot be certain that funding will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is evaluating whether current cash balances and cash flow from operations alone would be sufficient to provide working capital to fully fund the Company's operations. Accordingly, the Company is evaluating alternatives, such as joint ventures with third parties, or sales of interest in one or more of its properties. Such transactions, if undertaken, could result in a reduction in the Company's operating interests or require the Company to relinquish the right to operate the property. There can be no assurance that any such transactions can be completed or that such transactions will satisfy the Company's operating capital requirements. If the Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient funding or completing an alternative transaction on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be required to curtail its expenditures or restructure its operations, and the Company would be unable to continue its exploration, drilling, and recompletion program, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A negative shift in some of the public’s attitudes toward the oil and natural gas industry could adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise debt and equity capital. Certain segments of the investment community have developed negative sentiments about investing in the oil and natural gas industry. Recent equity returns in the sector versus other industry sectors have led to lower oil and natural gas representation in certain key equity market indices. In addition, some investors, including investment advisors and certain wealth funds, pension funds, university endowments and family foundations, have stated policies to disinvest in the oil and natural gas sector based on their social and environmental considerations. Certain other stakeholders have also pressured commercial and investment banks to halt financing oil and natural gas production and related infrastructure projects. Such developments, including environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution, could result in downward pressure on the stock prices of oil and natural gas companies. The Company’s stock price could be adversely affected by these developments. This may also potentially result in a reduction of available capital funding for potential development projects, impacting the Company’s future financial results.
11
The Company faces various risks associated with increased negative attitudes toward oil and natural gas exploration and development activities. Opposition to oil and natural gas drilling and development activities has been growing globally and is expanding in the United States. Companies in the oil and natural gas industry are often the target of efforts from both individuals and nongovernmental organizations regarding safety, human rights, climate change, environmental matters, sustainability, and business practices. Anti-development groups are working to reduce access to federal and state government lands and delay or cancel certain operations such as drilling and development along with other activities. Opposition to oil and natural gas activities could materially and adversely impact the Company’s ability to operate our business and raise capital.
There could be adverse legislation which if passed, would significantly curtail our ability to attract investors and raise capital. Proposed changes in the Federal income tax laws which would eliminate or reduce the percentage depletion deduction and the deduction for intangible drilling and development costs for small independent producers will significantly reduce the investment capital available to those in the industry as well as our Company. Lengthening the time to expense seismic costs will also have an adverse effect on our ability to explore and find new reserves.
Other factors that may affect the demand for oil and natural gas, and therefore impact our results, include technological improvements in energy efficiency; seasonal weather patterns; increased competitiveness of, or government policy support for, alternative energy sources; changes in technology that alter fuel choices, such as technological advances in energy storage that make wind and solar more competitive for power generation; changes in consumer preferences for our products, including consumer demand for alternative fueled or electric transportation or alternatives to plastic products; and broad-based changes in personal income levels.
Commodity prices and margins also vary depending on a number of factors affecting supply. For example, increased supply from the development of new oil and gas supply sources and technologies to enhance recovery from existing sources tend to reduce commodity prices to the extent such supply increases are not offset by commensurate growth in demand.
Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an extremely 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.

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 several 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 sufficient cash to maintain current levels of capital spending. Accordingly, the Company may be required to seek additional financing from third parties to fund its exploration and development programs.

Item 1A. - Risk Factors
The Company’s stock is no longer traded on OTC Markets Pink Current market, as it has been downgraded by OTC Markets to the OTC Pink Limited market. By Notice dated January 14, 2025, OTC Markets advised the Company that OTC Markets would discontinue the Pink Current market at the end of June 2025. OTC Markets advised the Company that the Pink Current market would be replaced with a new market to be called OTCID which would require an application as well as a number of other items (including fees, and additional disclosures) in order for entities to be admitted to OTCID by OTC Markets. OTC Markets stated that under the new market structure, a new Pink Limited market would identify entities not been admitted to OTCID which will have their market quotations marked with a Yield sign to warn investors of heightened risk. Effective July 1, 2025, the Company’s stock was downgraded to the OTC Markets Pink Limited market. Now when someone goes to the OTC Markets website to get a quotation on the Company’s stock, the following is under the Company’s name and trading symbol with the term “Warning!” in bold and red print:
Warning! Limited Information
The Pink Limited Market is for broker-dealers to publicly quote securities with limited to no issuer involvement. Pink Limited companies do not certify their compliance with established reporting standards, have limited availability of disclosure or financial information and may not support their U.S. market. These securities are identified with a yield sign to warn investors to proceed with caution.
The downgrade of the Company’s stock to the OTC Markets Pink Limited market with the above Warning section and the cautionary Yield symbol will likely impact an investor’s ability to trade the Company’s stock. The liquidity of our common stock will likely be affected, and purchasers of our common stock could have difficulty selling our common stock since our common stock has been transferred to the OTC Markets Pink Limited market.
There is presently only a limited public market for our common stock, and there is no assurance that a ready public market for our securities will ever develop. It is likely that any market for our common stock will be highly volatile and that the trading volume in such market will be limited and controlled by broker-dealers setting what could be an arbitrary price for the Company’s stock.
The trading price of our common stock also could be subject to fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results, announcements of our drilling results, fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, and other events or factors. In addition, the United States stock market has from time-to-time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price for many companies, and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our securities.
