Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 5, 2012, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release with respect to the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2011 financial results. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The press release contains certain measures (discussed below) which may be deemed “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In each case, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP measures is also included in the press release.

Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

From time to time management discloses cash flow from operations before changes in working capital (cash flow from operations) and cash flow from operations per diluted share (cash flow per share). These non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cash flow from operations and related cash flow per share, as defined above, are widely accepted as financial indicators of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities, pay dividends and service debt. Cash flow from operations and cash flow per share, as defined above, are presented based on management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures are useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash flows of other companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities or have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Cash flow from operations and cash flow per share, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity, or an alternative to net income.
