EUR refers to management’s internal estimates of reserves potentially recoverable from successful drilling of wells. These estimates do not necessarily represent
reserves as defined under SEC rules and by their nature and accordingly are more speculative and substantially less certain of recovery and no discount or risk
adjustment is included in the presentation. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interests could differ
substantially.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITBAX.
As used herein, EBITDAX is calculated as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and exploration expense and further
excludes non-cash compensation, impairments, 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 (GAAP), but provides additional information for evaluation of our operating
performance.

The disclosures below apply to the contents of this presentation:
In April 2007, GeoResources, Inc. (“GEOI”
or the “Company”) merged with Southern Bay Oil & Gas, L.P. (“Southern Bay”) and a
subsidiary of Chandler Energy, LLC and acquired certain oil and gas properties (collectively, the “Merger”).  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. 
Cautionary
Statement
The
SEC
has
established
specific
guidelines
related
to
reserve
disclosures,
including
prices
used
in
calculating PV 10% and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.  PV 10% is not a measure of financial or
operating performance under General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), nor should it be considered in isolation or as a
substitute
for
the
standardized
measure
of
discounted
future
net
cash
flows
as
defined
under
GAAP.
In
addition,
alternate
pricing
methodologies, such as the NYMEX forward strip price curve, are not provided for under SEC guidelines and therefore do represent
GAAP.
PV-10%
is
not
a
measure
of
financial
or
operating
performance
under
GAAP,
nor
should
it
be
considered
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
the
standardized
measure
of
discounted
future
net
cash
flows
as
defined
under
GAAP.
PV-10
%
for
SEC
price
calculations are based on the 12-month unweighted average prices at year-end 2010 of $79.43 per Bbl for oil and $4.37 per Mmbtu
for
natural
gas.
These
prices
were
adjusted
for
transportation,
quality,
geographical
differentials,
marketing
bonuses
or
