Forward-Looking Statements
Information
herein
contains
forward-looking
statements
that
involve
significant
risks
and
uncertainties,
including
our
need
to
replace
production
and
acquire
or
develop
additional
oil
and
gas
reserves,
intense
competition
in
the
oil
and
gas
industry,
our
dependence
on
our
management,
volatile
oil
and
gas
prices,
costs
associated
with
hedging
activities
and
uncertainties
of
our
oil
and
gas
estimates
of
proved
reserves
and
reserve
potential,
which
may
be
substantial. In
addition,
all
statements
or
estimates
made
by
the
company,
other
than
statements of historical fact, related to matters that may or will occur in the
future are forward-looking statements.
Readers are encouraged to read our December 31, 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A and any and all our other documents filed with the SEC regarding
information about GeoResources
for meaningful cautionary language in respect
of the forward-looking statements herein.  Interested persons are able to obtain
free copies of filings containing information about GeoResources, without
charge,
at
the
SEC’s
Internet
site
(http://www.sec.gov).
There
is
no
duty
to
update the statements herein.


The disclosures below apply to the contents of this presentation:
On
April
17,
2007,
GeoResources,
Inc.
(“GEOI”
or
the
“Company”)
merged
with
Southern
Bay
Oil
&
Gas,
L.P.
(“Southern
Bay”) and a subsidiary of Chandler Energy, LLC (“Chandler”), and acquired certain Chandler-associated oil and gas
properties (collectively, the “Merger”).  At the time of the Merger, the former Southern Bay partners received approximately
57% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  Although GEOI was the legal acquirer in the Merger, for financial
reporting purposes the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of GEOI by Southern Bay.  Therefore, any
information prior to 2007 relates solely to Southern Bay.  In connection with the Merger, officers and directors affiliated with
Southern Bay and Chandler were appointed to most of our board seats and executive officer positions.
Proved reserves, and estimates of discounted present values associated therewith (“PV-10”), as shown throughout this
profile, are estimated by GEOI management as of 10/1/09 and based on NYMEX strip pricing at 9/30/09. The NYMEX oil
strip used for the estimates ranged from $70.65 per BO for 2009 to $90.16 per BO for years 2017 and beyond. The NYMEX
gas strip ranged from $4.83 per MCF for 2009 to $7.52 per MCF for years 2017 and beyond. Actual prices realized will likely
vary materially from the NYMEX strip at 9/30/09.  The company’s independent engineers are Cawley, Gillespie & Associates,
Inc. and while they have not reviewed nor audited the reserves and economics presented herein, the company believes it
has estimated reserves in a manner similar to external independent engineers.
Non-proved reserve potential represents the company’s estimated reserve exposure associated with existing fields, acreage
and prospects. These estimated reserves do not include certain exploratory objectives associated with proved undeveloped
reserves or “work-in-progress”, which may result in additional prospects or drilling locations.  Current SEC regulations do not
recognize non-proved reserves.
As used herein, EBITDAX is calculated as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization,
and exploration expense and further includes impairments and hedge ineffectiveness and income or loss on derivative
contracts.
EBITDAX
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
net
income
(as
an
indicator
of
operating
performance)
or
as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt obligations) and is not in accordance with,
nor superior to, generally accepted accounting principles, but provides additional information for evaluation of our operating
performance.
Estimates of partnership reserves and values associated therewith do not include potential reversionary interests, if any.

Initial exploration well below field pay to 16,350+/-.  Represents base exploratory reserve case to test six objectives.  Investment represents drilling costs only; a
discovery well will result in completion costs estimated at $1.0 million.  Reserve potential for GEOI is 3.0 MMBOE and would set up additional drilling.
