Spindletop Oil and Gas Co (PK) (SPND)

Keep in mind that besides oil & cash SPND owns income producing real estate and in one of their filings sometime back said they were looking at the possibility of merger/acquisition (can recall exactly how they phrased it). It's the quintessential micro-SPAC

The oil price will rebound and NG will rise during the winter.

Cash heavy great buy

Oil has always been a peak and valley business

Fixin to buy in

What a steal

Yup, oil crashed.

They do have 14 million in cash and a stockholder equity of 17 million. Never said it was poorly run. Its undervalued, but for good reason. This company is a micro drop in a ocean of whales. Especially with low oil prices in the foreseeable future(imo)

SPND is an old friend. I first bought it in 1998 at .15 and added through .60 over the next several years. I sold out around 2005 or so with my last shares going off around $6 bucks -- it kept on going to $10.

You do realize they have something like $2.30 in cash, right?

So, once again, I'll take my chances.

Oil should be in a sideways/downward trend from here. The thesis hasn't changed. I dont think oil will be at $70 in the foreseeable future. They arent IPOing Saudi aramco because its the bottom of the market. They want out. As for Spindle top. Revenue has dropped from 13 million to 6 annually.

You have to realize that this is a extremely small company. Even though the management is good, they have very little resources to work with and its growth prospects are meek at best.

REally???

Here's a 4 yr weekly chart -- jan 2016 to present.

DO YOU SEE A TREND? Today I bought more SPeND.



Is the stock going to drop below $1.39 and make a lower low -- or is it about to turn up?

20 YEAR DAILY CHART

This stock doubled since you made that prediction. Perfect example of a good reason for folks to pay little attention to most of what is posted in iHub.


(didnt own it then, but we have a history - but recently bot in)


SPND is too illiquid for the avg investor, but a great company. (pros only)

This stock doubled since you made that prediction.

(didnt own it then - but recently bot in)

No. oil is done

$SPND even a better deal today considering how much some oil companies moved up today like LINE LNOC EXXI ect.

$SPND may be good to buy portions of over the next 6/months or so, if you believe oil won't stay "cheap" too much longer.

Yeah, does seem like it want's to move lower...

sell while you can, buy back later.

$SPND been holding up well this month compared to all the other oil companies. Mararathon is based in Texas too, has positive earnings also, relatively low P/E, and look how much they are down recently! https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3AMRO&ei=5W2LVNiFOsi0qgGjpIHwDw

Yeah SPND is probably going to go down imo. Will be lower in 6 months. Won't be down as much as most others that are related though. Hate to be negative about it...

$SPND Piling up cash for something?

New report here

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=64493080

waiting to see if lower oil and gas prices will hurt them. They might be alright but I want to wait.

$SPND chart looking great!

Ascending triangle is forming here.

I think earnings are coming up in september sometime. Im looking at this before then.

9 p/e 13 million revenue 40 million market cap.

Think I might want to buy. A little pricey but it looks good.

Pretty solid balance sheet

recently found spindletop... after initial analysis i love it. anyone still on here?? would love some insight from any longtime investors

Nice !! 23 cents/share profits for 2011. Big increase over recent years. Now...let's see >$3.00/share price

SPND.. $1.66.. This is a table pounder..

When filing for the NT 10K SPND was asked several questions which it had to answer with the late filing.. Usually Late filings are of little interest because they almost alway's are the prelude to bad or sloppy bookkeeping with not such good results..

In this case earnings as they as super conservative should be above $1,650,000.00 EPS of over $0.21 per share vrs. $0.06 the prior year.. Cash flow of $2,960.000.00 is equal to $0.387 or almost twice the previous years cash flow of $0.195.. Cash should increase to to over $9,000,000.00 or $1.18 vrs $0.82 for the previous year..

On cash flow I would evaluate SPND at 6 times or $2.32 and if you add the cash of $1.18 you get $3.48.. Last on SPND was $1.66 so I can see at least a double from here W/O any undue risk.. If 4'th qtr. results were ther the same in the next 4 Qtrs I see the value of SPND being $5.32..

Net income for the period ended December 31, 2011 is anticipated to increase as compared with the same period in 2010. In 2010 we reported a net income of $447,000, however we anticipate that net income for the period ended December 31, 2011 will be in the area of approximately $1,500,000 - $1,750,000.

This estimated increase is due primarily to an increase in total oil and gas revenues from approximately $6,302,000 in 2010 to approximately $8,000,000 in 2011.
From the NT 10K...
Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011, without unreasonable effort and expense due to the late receipt of information required from consolidated subsidiaries.

expecting good annual #'s from Spindletop Oil&Gas

with the price of oil back up over $100 a barrel and a + $1,353,000 profit for the first 9 month's of 2011 no reason to expect otherwise..should also make for a very green start to 2012

...only reason i can think of for the low pps considering this little gem's balance sheet and steady profitability would be the fact that they're not paying a dividend..(and have stated they don't intend to)...insider's own 90% of it...apparently no actual reason to think Spindletop's an acquisition target.. ?possible concerns of them depleting all their reserve's eventually and "closing up shop" after a long run as an essentially private company with no concern's for the stock and it's price?

...SPND's average volume is counted in the hundred's,not thousand's

2010 10-K due by 6pm EST today

..gotta love a genuine oil & gas company like this one with only 1.7m share's in the float.

..will 2011 be a sweet little year for SPND with the high price for crude and an improved one for gas??

Some historical background on the company...

this section no longer appears in the companies filings

.......from 2002 10-K filed 3/31/2003........

______________________ BACKGROUND_____________________________

The Company is a Texas Corporation. The Company was previously known as Prairie States Energy Co. ("PSE"). On July 13, 1990, Spindletop Oil & Gas Co., a Utah Corporation, ("SOG UTAH") merged into PSE, and the name of PSE was changed to Spindletop Oil & Gas Co., the Company herein.

The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado as Mid-America Drilling & Exploration, Inc., on August 9, 1978 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mid-America Petroleum, Inc.("MAP"). The principal business of the Company at that time was contract drilling of oil and gas wells. The initial public offering of the Company occurred by prospectus dated December 13, 1979. In
January 1981, the shares of the Company owned by MAP were distributed as a dividend to the shareholders of MAP. The Company's name was changed to Prairie States Exploration, Inc. on March 15, 1983.
Prairie States Exploration, Inc. became insolvent in late 1983, and filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on December 14, 1983.
Prairie States Exploration, Inc. was successfully reorganized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Court approved the plan of reorganization on September 9, 1985. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company merged into a wholly owned subsidiary, Prairie States Energy Co., a Texas Corporation.

The Plan of Reorganization was proposed and funded by Paul E. Cash.

Since the reorganization, the Company has engaged in the general oil and gas
business, including exploration, development, and production of oil and gas,
the rental of oilfield production equipment and the ownership and construction
and operation of pipelines for the gathering and marketing of natural gas. SOG
Utah was incorporated on August 15, 1975 as Main Street Equities, Inc., a Utah
corporation. SOG Utah sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock in a public
offering in 1976. Until 1981, the business of the company consisted of minor
real estate operations. In October 1981 the name was changed to Aledo Oil and
Gas Company, and in January 1983 the name was changed to Spindletop Oil & Gas
Co.

The name "Spindletop" has been used by Paul E. Cash since 1975 in conjunction
with several previous oil and gas businesses in which he was engaged.
On July 13, 1990, SOG Utah was merged into PSE, and the name of the surviving
company was changed to Spindletop Oil & Gas Co., a Texas corporation. In the
merger, each shareholder of PSE received one-half share of the common stock of
the surviving company, for each share of PSE owned prior to the merger. Each
shareholder of SOG Utah received one and one-half shares of the common stock
of the surviving company, for each share of SOG Utah owned prior to the merger.
After the merger, the Company had 44,922,564 shares of common stock
outstanding, 32,255,195 of which were owned by the shareholders of PSE and
12,667,369 by shareholders of SOG Utah. Shares issued to the former
shareholders of SOG Utah have not been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission but according to Rule 144-K these shares would
automatically become free trading three years from date of issuance.
The Company's management believes that all shares issued to the former shareholders of SOG Utah are now free trading in accordance with Rule 144-K.
On January 31, 1997, the Company effected a one for six reverse stock split.
The Company reduced the authorized common shares from 150,000,000 to
100,000,000 and increased the par value from $.001 to $.01 per share.

On December 1, 1999, Giant Energy Corp. purchased controlling interest in Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. Giant purchased 5,860,889 shares of the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock and as of December 31, 2002 owns 77.3 percent of the Registrant's 7,582,471 shares of outstanding Common Stock.
Chris Mazzini,President and Chairman of the Board of the Registrant, is sole owner of Giant.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons originally acquired all of the shares of common stock reported herein for investment purposes.

As an investor in the Issuer, the Reporting Persons have had from time to time general discussions with representatives of the Issuer, and with representatives of third parties, regarding various matters related to Issuer’s business and operations. Some of these discussions have included brief and cursory discussions of hypothetical strategic alternatives designed to maximize shareholder value.

The Reporting Persons intend to engage in communications with one or more stockholders, officers, or directors of the Issuer, and/or other third parties, regarding the Issuer’s operations and strategic direction. These communications may include ideas that, if effected, would result in, among other things: (i) the Reporting Persons acquiring additional shares of common stock, or disposing of any or all of their shares of common stock; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, sale, reorganization, or liquidation involving the Issuer; (iii) a material change to Issuer’s present capitalization or dividend policy; (iv) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (v) soliciting proxies or consents, to be used at either the Issuer’s regular annual meeting of shareholders, or at a special meeting of shareholders, or otherwise, with respect to the matters described above; (vi) seeking alone or with others to acquire control of the Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise; and/or (vii) taking such other actions with respect to the Issuer as the Reporting Persons may from time to time determine.

Based on such discussions and upon the Reporting Persons’ continuous evaluation and review of Issuer, and other factors, the Reporting Persons will continue to consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.

Although the Reporting Persons expect to undertake one or more of the actions described above, there exists no agreement between the Reporting Persons of the kind described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Except to the extent that the foregoing discussions may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

i wonder what their actual valuation is..

these are their gas and oil reserves as of 12/31/2009
(doesn't look like they give these #'s in the quarterly reports)


Total proved gas reserves-Mcf
12,521,000

Total proved crude oil
and condensate Reserves-Bbls
323,000

even at just $3.50 per Mcf they would have $42m worth of gas
at $70 per barrel they would seem to have $22m worth of crude
.......these two together would total roughly $65m........

most of the necessary drilling has been done in connection with these reserves to actually bring it up out of the ground so i'd think they would stand to realize better then half (?) of that $65m amount in revenue's......

at its current price would this stock be something of a relatively safe investment while hoping for SpindleTop to be acquired by one of the larger producers?

.... i like their swirling oil well and blue flame gas logo but i think i'd have to give the link to their website!

I've been doing more and more research about this one. Spindletop is a great small cap with upside potential once NG prices rebound with a market cap of only $11 million. The drop in natural gas prices have caused this stock to decline to less than book value.

The company only has 22,975 net acres primarily located in Texas with additional smaller interest located in various other states. What makes Spindletop interesting are a few assets other than natural gas. First of all, the company has $1.13 per share in cash and a stock price of only $1.45. In addition, the Company owns its headquarters building just off the LBJ Freeway in Dallas, Texas. The 27 year old building sits on 1.4919 acres and has 46,286 rentable square feet and is only on the books for $1.8 million. The company occupies 10,317 and leases the remaining space to third party tenants. The company also owns 26.1 miles of natural gas pipelines in Parker, Palo Pinto, and Eastland Counties, Texas. I estimate the cash and true value of the building is worth nearly $1.45 giving you the oil and gas reserves for free.

DD thanks for the reply and notes. I am very interested in Spindletop and their mid to long term potential here. The strong financials and operations begs the question why there is such little awareness / liquidity on this one.

Good luck with your other endeavors.

WoW..that message certainly was a surprise!

haven't been in SPND or any other energy stocks in some time

..nice to see SpindleTop Oil&Gas Co. still generating some interest..Balnce Sheet stronger then when it was trading in the $5 to $7 range several years ago.

Looks like they hit a bit of a speed bump or something on Revenue and Profit last year vs. '08 & '07..hopefully that's just a temporary situation.

Their website looks impressive..nice improvement from '05 & '06, but they still let their filings and asset's do the talk'n for 'em!

right now i'm just pursueing a penny by the symbol CHDO..they should be giving their Q3 result's shortly and i'm hoping for a nice increase in the PPS and marked improvement in Volume

Best Of Luck with SPND

Community Involvement

Spindletop Sponsors Shoe Drive and Blood Drive

Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. is very fortunate to have some exceptionally generous employees and tenants at Spindletop's building, One Spindletop Centre! Below are some of the ways in which Spindletop, through its employees and tenants, was engaged in bettering the community throughout the month of October.

During October, Spindletop had a shoe drive benefiting Austin Street Shelter. We put out the word that we were collecting wearable shoes to be donated to the shelter, and the response was overwhelming. Thanks to the generosity of all of those Spindletop employees and tenants, we were able to collect a multitude of shoes that were donated to the Austin Street Shelter. Austin Street Shelter serves the less fortunate and has myriad needs year round.

Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. partnered with Carter Bloodcare to host the One Spindletop Centre Blood Drive at the end of October 2007. The blood donations that Carter Bloodcare received from Spindletop employees and tenants were enough to save the lives of 48 people in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area! In addition, Carter Bloodcare pledged funds for each donor at the One Spindletop Centre Blood Drive to the Light the Night Walk (a fundraising event for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for which Bob Lilly, Jr., CEO of Bob Lilly Professional Promotions, was the Dallas area chairperson and Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. was a banner sponsor). Remember, it takes 1,100 blood donations per day to meet the needs of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area! Please donate blood at any area Carter Bloodcare.

Spindletop hosted a luncheon at One Spindletop Centre on the same day as the One Spindletop Centre Blood Drive. It provided an excellent opportunity for all of the tenants of One Spindletop Centre to spend time together (and for that morning?s blood donors to raise their blood sugar!). It was a festive Halloween-themed event, replete with spooky costumes, delicious candy, and spirited decorations. It was an occasion for Spindletop Oil & Gas Co. to let their spectacular tenants know how much they are appreciated!

Summary of operations from 10q

North Texas:
------------
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Poston #1 well, located on our Godley
North Block, in Johnson County, Texas was drilled to the Barnett Shale Formation at a depth of 6,754 ft. and cased. The well was completed and was placed on-line and went into sales with an initial rate of 400 mcfgpd on August 2, 2010. The well is located in the Newark, E. (Barnett Shale) field. The Company owns a 91% working interest in this well.

West Texas:
-----------
During the first half of 2010, the Company participated in the drilling of four non-operated wells located in the Fuhrman-Mascho field in Andrews County, Texas. Three of the wells were cased, completed and placed in production during the second quarter of 2010. The fourth well was cased and completed July 2, 2010 and placed in production July 11, 2010. The Miles #13, #14, #15, and #16 wells had initial production rate of 148 bopd, 69 bopd, 99 bopd, and 76 bopd respectively, and 30 mcfgpd , 30 mcfgpd, 28 mcfgpd, and 16 mcfgpd respectively from the San Andres formation at an approximate depth of 4,750 ft. The Company owns a 4.6875% working interest and a 3.28125% net revenue interest in these wells.

South Texas:
------------
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company acquired working interests in five natural gas wells in Victoria County, Texas. The Company assumed operatorship of three of these wells effective April 1, 2010.

The Vaquero #1 well produces gas from the Rob Welder (Wilcox 9100) field in the Wilcox Group from a perforated interval of 9,314-46 ft. Production from the Vaquero #1 is approximately 25 mcfgpd and one-half bopd. The Vaquero "A" #2 well produces gas from the Welder Ranch field from a perforated interval of 12,026-90 ft. in the Wilcox Group. The Vaquero "A" #2 well was initially shut-in for mechanical repairs but prior to issuance of this report has been re-opened and is expected to produce approximately 25 mcfgpd. The Rob Welder #1 well produces gas from the McFaddin (5700) field from a perforated interval at 5,660-58 ft. in the Yegua Formation. Production from this well is approximately 120 mcfgpd and one-half bopd. The working interests in these three wells are 94.6308%, 85%, and 100% with net revenue interests of 64.6859%, 58.1254%, and 68% respectively.

The interests acquired in the two remaining wells were non-operated working interests. The Company acquired a 25% non-operating working interest and 17% net revenue interest in the Welder Ranch #1 well which produces gas from the Rob Welder (Wilcox 10,400) field from the perforated interval of 10,480-10,520 ft. in the Wilcox Group. Production from this well is approximately 19 mcfgpd and one-half bopd. The Company acquired a 24.171123% non-operating working interest and 16.437236% net revenue interest in the Welder Ranch A #2 well which produces gas from the Marshall (Middle Wilcox) field from a perforated interval of 10,306-12 ft. in the Middle Wilcox Group. Production from this well is approximately 168 mcfgpd and 3.7 bopd.

East Texas:
-----------
The Company participated for a 45% non-operated working interest in the drilling of two wells operated by Giant Energy Co., LP, a related entity. The two wells are located in Nacogdoches County, Texas. The Giant Gas Unit #1 well was spud on November 11, 2009 and reached a total depth of 9,700 ft. on December 6, 2009. Production casing was set to a depth of 9,616 ft. through the Travis Peak Formation. The Giant Gas Unit #2 well was spud on June 1, 2010 and reached a total depth of 9,608 ft. on July 7, 2010. Production casing was set to a depth of 9,605 ft. through the Travis Peak Formation. The wells are awaiting a pipeline connection.

For all of the above wells, the Company cautions that initial production rates may not be an indicator of stabilized production rates or an indicator of the ultimate recoveries obtained.

I am very impressed with their company after reading the last 10q.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Oil and gas revenues for the first half of 2010 were $3,161,000, an increase of $715,000 or 29% from revenues of $2,446,000 during the same period in 2009.

Natural gas revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $2,042,000 compared to $1,840,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 202,000, or 11%. Natural gas volumes sold for the first half of 2010 were approximately 399,000 mcf compared to approximately 478,000 mcf during the first half of 2009, a
decrease of approximately 79,000 mcf, or 17 %.

Average natural gas prices received were approximately $5.37 per mcf during the first half of 2010 as compared to approximately $3.85 per mcf in the first half of 2009, an increase of approximately $1.52 per mcf or 39%.

Oil sales for the first six months of 2010 were approximately $1,119,000 compared to approximately $606,000 in the first six months of 2009, an increase of approximately $513,000 or 85%. Oil volumes sold for the first six months of 2010 were approximately 15,000 bbls compared to approximately 14,000 bbls during the first six months of 2009, an increase of approximately 1,000 bbls,
or 7%.

Average oil prices received were $72.15 per bbl in the first half of 2010 compared to $43.57 per bbl in the first half of 2009, an increase of approximately $28.58 or 66%. This increase in the average sales price is the result of the overall improvement in crude oil pricing.

Revenue from lease operations for the first half of 2010 was approximately $133,000 compared to approximately $173,000 for the first half of 2009, a decrease of about $40,000 or 23%. This net decrease between periods resulted from a decrease of approximately $16,000 in field operations income, a decrease of approximately $28,000 in operator overhead income, and an increase of
approximately $4,000 in pumper service revenue.

Revenue from gas gathering, compression and equipment rental for the first half of 2010 was approximately $71,000, compared to approximately $95,000, a net decrease of $24,000 or 25% for the same period in 2009. Gas gathering and compression revenue is generated from the volume of MCFs that are processed through the Company's gathering systems. Gas sales volumes for the first half
of 2010 were less than during the same period in 2009, causing the decrease in revenues.

Interest income for the first half of 2010 was approximately $84,000 as compared with approximately $111,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of about $27,000 or 24%. Interest earned on amounts in money market accounts and in certificates of deposit decreased between the two periods as interest rates
continued to decrease. During 2009, the Company moved amounts normally invested in certificates of deposit into business checking accounts at its primary banking institution to take advantage of the unlimited FDIC insurance coverage. The Company also moved money to take advantage of higher FDIC coverage of $250,000 at other banks in order to protect the Company's liquid
assets from risk of loss for bank failures.

Other income for the first half of 2010 was approximately $37,000 as compared with approximately $151,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of approximately $114,000 or 76%. Approximately $90,000 of this amount was for severance and ad valorem tax services provided by the Company to several of its leases. Approximately $18,000 was for divestitures of a non-operated lease
interest and land not associated with oil and gas interests in 2009. The remaining decrease was due to other miscellaneous items.

Lease operating expenses in the first half of 2010 were $643,000 as compared to $629,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of approximately $14,000, or 2%.

Production taxes, gathering, transportation and marketing expenses for the first half of 2010 were approximately $347,000 as compared to $428,000 during the first half of 2009, a net decrease of approximately $81,000 or 19%. The decrease is due to timing differences of severance tax credits on high cost wells drilled and placed on line during 2008. The credits were accrued as of
December 31, 2008 and reversed in January 2009. A portion of the credits were utilized in May, 2009 with the remaining $169,000 being utilized in July, 2009. As a result, the six months ended June 30, 2009 production taxes were approximately $169,000 higher. The remaining increase in this line item of approximately $88,000 relates to the overall increase in revenues subject to severance tax.

For presentation purposes, the Company split out amounts for production taxes, gathering, transportation, and marketing expenses separately from lease operations. In prior years, these amounts were presented together under the line item description of lease operating expenses. There have been no changes to the expenses for 2009 but the presentation for 2009 has been restated to conform to the new presentation. The Company feels the separate reporting of amounts gives a better look at the results of the Company's expenses to operate its leases.

Real estate expenses during the first six months of 2010 were approximately $99,000 compared to approximately $95,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $4,000 or 4%. The Company's real estate expenses have been consistent for the period with no significant differences.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization for the first half of 2010 was $424,000 as compared to $609,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $185,000, or 30%. $361,000 of the amount for the first half of 2010 was for amortization of the full cost pot of capitalized costs compared to $372,000 for the second half of 2009, a decrease of $11,000 or 3%. The Company re-evaluated
its proved oil and gas reserve quantities as of December 31, 2009. This re-evaluated reserve base was adjusted at the end of each quarter for the estimated addition and disposition of reserves during the first six months of 2010 and reduced for oil and gas reserves that were produced or sold during the period. A depletion rate of 1.866% for the first quarter of 2010 and a
depletion rate of 1.546% for the second quarter of 2010 was calculated and applied to the Company's full cost pot of capitalized oil and gas properties compared to a total depletion rate of 3.475% for the first six months of 2009.

Most recent 10-Q looks great. Bottom line is actually green.

The company needs to put out a PR and a file. They are doing good but need to report it.

Keeping an eye on it... hope more volume comes.

Nice move today on low volume....
