On the expense side, total expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $1.200 million, down from $1.236 million in the previous year, reflecting a decrease in lease operations costs and pipeline expenses. General and administrative expenses also saw a minor reduction, totaling $712,000 compared to $721,000 in the prior year. However, depreciation and amortization expenses increased significantly to $96,000, up from $46,000, due to a re-evaluation of the company’s oil and gas reserves.

The company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, showed total assets of $27.841 million, with total liabilities of $13.255 million and shareholders' equity of $14.586 million.

Looking ahead, Spindletop remains cautious about the potential impact of fluctuating oil and natural gas prices on its financial performance. The company is actively monitoring market conditions and evaluating strategic options, including potential joint ventures or property sales, to ensure sufficient liquidity for its operations. The management emphasizes that while the current financial results are positive, external factors such as economic conditions and regulatory changes could significantly influence future performance.
