Cautionary Note:
The SEC permits
oil and gas companies to disclose only
proved reserves in their filings. 
GeoResources uses the term “non-
proved potential”, which SEC
guidelines strictly prohibit the
Company from including in SEC
filings.  These non-proved potential
reserve estimates tabulated to the left
were prepared by management and
the Company’s technical staff in
accordance with industry practices. 
Non-proved quantities estimated
herein are imprecise forward-looking
statements and substantially less
certain than proved reserves.  All
reserve estimates are inherently
imprecise and are subject to material
revisions based on numerous factors,
including drilling success, production
history and oil and gas price changes. 
You are urged to read closely the
disclosures in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year
ended December 31, 2007, and
GeoResources’
other SEC filings.
