1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Organization and nature of operations

Approach Resources Inc. (“Approach,” “ARI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of unconventional natural gas and oil properties in the United States and British Columbia. We focus on natural gas and oil reserves in tight sands and shale. We currently operate or have oil and gas properties or interests in Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky and British Columbia.

Consolidation, basis of presentation and significant estimates

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, the volatility in prices for crude oil and natural gas, future commodity prices for commodity derivative contracts, interest rates, estimates of reserves, drilling risks, geological risks, transportation restrictions, the timing of acquisitions, product demand, market competition and interruptions of production. You should read these consolidated interim financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, we have made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves, which may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded, accrual of capital expenditures, asset retirement obligations and share-based compensation. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These classifications have no impact on the net income reported.

Comprehensive income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no elements of comprehensive income other than net income. Following is a summary of our comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended

2. Contribution Agreement

On November 14, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Approach Oil & Gas Inc. (“AOG”) and acquired the 30% working interest in the Ozona Northeast field (the “Neo Canyon interest”) that the Company did not already own from Neo Canyon Exploration, L.P. (“Neo Canyon”). Upon the closing of the contribution agreement, Neo Canyon and each of the stockholders of AOG received shares of Company common stock in exchange for their respective contributions. Neo Canyon received an aggregate of 4,239,243 shares of Company common stock, of which 2,061,290 shares were offered in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), 156,805 shares were subject to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters and 2,021,148 shares were redeemed by the Company for cash. The stockholders of AOG received an aggregate of 989,157 shares of Company common stock.

The acquisition cost of the Neo Canyon interest was $60.7 million, representing 4,239,243 shares of Company common stock at $12.00 per share, our IPO price, and the assumption of related deferred income tax liabilities and asset retirement obligations at that date along with post-closing purchase price adjustments resulting from operating results of the properties acquired between the effective date and the closing date of the acquisition. The existing tax basis assumed from the acquisition was finalized during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The adjustment made during the three months ended June 30, 2008 resulted in a $376,000 increase in deferred tax liabilities, $133,000 in additional post-closing purchase price adjustments and an increase in oil and gas properties of $509,000. The following is a summary of the final purchase price and its allocation (in thousands):

Purchase price:
Issuance of 4,239,243 shares of Approach Resources Inc. common stock valued at $12.00 per share	$	50,871
Deferred tax liabilities assumed		9,465
Asset retirement obligations assumed		133

Allocation:

Mineral interests in oil and gas properties		798
Total	$	60,734

3. Line of credit

In January 2008 we entered into a new, $200.0 million revolving loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with the Company as borrower, AOG, Approach Oil & Gas (Canada) Inc. and Approach Resources I, LP as guarantors, and The Frost National Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, as lenders (collectively, the “Lender”). The borrowing base under the Loan Agreement was initially set at $75.0 million and will be redetermined semi-annually on or before each April 1 and October 1 based on our oil and gas reserves. We or the Lender can each request one additional borrowing base redetermination each calendar year. In May 2008, the Lender increased the borrowing base to $100.0 million. The maturity date under the Loan Agreement is July 2010. The borrowings bear interest based on the bank’s prime rate, or the sum of the LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% based on the borrowings outstanding compared to the borrowing base (5.0 % at June 30, 2008), at our election. We had outstanding borrowings of $7.6 million at June 30, 2008. There were no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2007. Principal

payments are not required until the final maturity date of the Loan Agreement, at which time any outstanding loan balances shall be due and payable in full. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires payment of a quarterly fee equal to three eighths of one percent (0.375%) of the unused portion of the borrowing base. The borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of our oil and gas properties. The Loan Agreement contains various covenants, the most restrictive of which requires us to maintain a modified current ratio of at least one. The modified current ratio represents the quotient of our current assets, less any unrealized gains on commodity derivatives plus amounts available under the Loan Agreement divided by our current liabilities less unrealized losses on commodity derivatives. We were in compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2008.

We also have outstanding unused letters of credit under the Loan Agreement totaling $400,000 at June 30, 2008, which reduce amounts available for borrowing under the Loan Agreement.

4. Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was 46.4% and 38.3%, respectively. The increase in the tax effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is due to an increase in share-based compensation expense, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Total income tax expense (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory tax rates and estimated state rates to pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to adjustments to the valuation allowance applied to net operating loss carryforwards of AOG. At December 31, 2006, AOG provided a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets resulting primarily from net operating loss carryforwards, based upon our inability to assess the amount to be realized until our acquisition of all outstanding AOG capital stock in November 2007.

5. Derivatives

At June 30, 2008, we had the following commodity derivative positions outstanding:

Period	Volume (MMBtu)				$/MMBtu
	Monthly		Total		Floor		Ceiling		Fixed
NYMEX — Henry Hub
Costless collars 2008		178,000		1,070,000	$	7.50	$	11.45

Fixed price swaps 2009		200,000		2,400,000						(0.61	)

Unrealized gains and losses, at fair value, are included on our consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the anticipated timing of cash settlements under the related contracts. Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts are recorded in earnings as they occur and included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations. We estimate the fair values of swap contracts based on the present value of the difference in exchange-quoted forward price curves and contractual settlement prices multiplied by notional quantities. We internally valued the contracts and then obtained mark-to-market valuations for our collar positions from our

7

APPROACH RESOURCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)

counterparty and reviewed such valuations for reasonableness based on forward prices in relation to our contractual ceiling and floor prices. We use our internal valuations to determine the fair values of the contracts that are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses are also included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations.

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty on our oil and gas swaps. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty over the term of the swaps.

Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”)

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted FAS 157, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. As defined in FAS 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and attempt to utilize the best available information. FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by FAS 157 are as follows:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. At June 30, 2008, we had no Level 1 measurements.

• Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Our derivatives, which consist primarily of commodity swaps and collars, are valued using commodity market data which is derived by combining raw inputs and quantitative models and processes to generate forward curves. Where observable inputs are available, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. At June 30, 2008, our commodity derivatives were valued using Level 2 measurements.

• Level 3 — Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At June 30, 2008, we had no Level 3 measurements.

7. Subsequent event

Ozona Northeast deep rights acquisition

On July 1, 2008, we acquired an additional 95% working interest in all depths below the top of the Strawn formation, compression facilities and rights to approximately 75 miles of gathering lines in our Ozona Northeast field in Crockett and Schleicher Counties, Texas. The properties were acquired from J. Cleo Thompson & James Cleo Thompson, Jr., L.P. and certain other sellers. Before the acquisition, we owned a 100% working interest above the top of the Strawn formation and a 5% working interest below the top of the Strawn formation in Ozona Northeast. As a result of the acquisition, we now own substantially all working interests in all depths of the subsurface in Ozona Northeast.

The purchase price was $12.0 million subject to post-closing adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation was $9.5 million to oil and gas properties and $2.5 million to gathering system, compression facilities and related equipment. Funding was provided through borrowings under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our results of operations and our financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2008. Our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material. Certain statements in this discussion may be forward-looking.

Overview

We are an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of unconventional natural gas and oil properties onshore in the United States and British Columbia. We focus on natural gas and oil reserves in tight sands and shale and have assembled leasehold interests aggregating approximately 278,556 gross (193,237 net) acres.

We currently operate or have interests in the following areas:

     West Texas

• Ozona Northeast (Wolfcamp, Canyon Sands, Strawn and Ellenburger)

• Cinco Terry (Wolfcamp, Canyon Sands and Ellenburger)

     East Texas

• North Bald Prairie (Cotton Valley Sands, Bossier and Cotton Valley Lime)

     Northeast British Columbia

• Montney tight gas and Doig Shale

     Northern New Mexico

• El Vado East (Mancos Shale)

     Southwest Kentucky

• Boomerang (New Albany Shale)

At December 31, 2007, we had estimated proved reserves of approximately 180.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent. At June 30, 2008, we owned working interests in 330 producing oil and gas wells and were producing 22.4 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (“MMcfe/d”) (based on production for the second quarter of 2008). Our average daily net production for the month of July 2008 was 24.3 MMcfe/d.

Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of oil and gas. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market demand, which is impacted by overall economic activity, weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, gas price differentials and other factors. As a result, we cannot accurately predict future oil and gas prices, and therefore, we cannot determine what effect increases or decreases will have on our capital program, production volumes and future revenues. In addition to production volumes and commodity prices, finding and developing sufficient amounts of oil and gas reserves at economical costs are critical to our long-term success. Future finding and development costs are subject to changes in the industry, including the costs of acquiring, drilling and completing our projects.

Higher oil and gas prices generally increase the demand for drilling rigs and equipment, operating personnel and field supplies and services and can cause increases in the costs of those goods and services. While we have benefitted from higher commodity prices, we also have experienced an increase in operating and capital costs in the first six months of 2008 that have partially offset these higher commodity prices. We expect that our operating costs, specifically our lease operating, general and administrative and depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses will, for the foreseeable future, be

12

higher than those historically experienced. We endeavor to increase oil and gas reserves and production while controlling costs at a level that is appropriate for long-term operations. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to manage our overall cost structure.

Like all oil and gas production companies, we face the challenge of natural production declines. Oil and gas production from any given well naturally decreases over time. Additionally, our reserves have a rapid initial decline, a characteristic of tight gas sands. We attempt to overcome this natural decline by drilling to develop and identify additional reserves, farm-ins or other drilling ventures, and by acquisitions. Our future growth will depend upon our ability to continue to add oil and gas reserves in excess of production at a reasonable cost. We intend to maintain our focus on the costs of adding reserves through drilling and acquisitions as well as the costs necessary to produce such reserves.

We also face the challenge of financing future acquisitions. After completion of the initial public offering of our common stock, we repaid all amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2008, we had $7.6 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. At July 31, 2008, we had $21.0 outstanding under our revolving credit facility, which we used to fund the acquisition of deep rights in Ozona Northeast discussed below. We believe we have adequate unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility for possible acquisitions, temporary working capital needs and further expansion of our drilling program. Funding for future acquisitions also may require additional sources of financing, which may not be available.

Recent developments

Ozona Northeast deep rights acquisition

On July 1, 2008, we acquired an additional 95% working interest in all depths below the top of the Strawn formation, compression facilities and rights to approximately 75 miles of gathering lines in our Ozona Northeast field in Crockett and Schleicher Counties, Texas. The properties were acquired from J. Cleo Thompson & James Cleo Thompson, Jr., L.P. and certain other sellers. Before the acquisition, we owned a 100% working interest above the top of the Strawn formation and a 5% working interest below the top of the Strawn formation in Ozona Northeast. As a result of the acquisition, we now own substantially all working interests in all depths of the subsurface in Ozona Northeast.

The purchase price was $12.0 million subject to post-closing adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation was $9.5 million to oil and gas properties and $2.5 million to gathering system, compression facilities and related equipment. Funding was provided through borrowings under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility.

British Columbia asset divestiture

On July 15, 2008, we announced that the operator and non-operating participants in the our British Columbia lease acquisition and drilling project engaged a financial advisor to explore the sale of the project’s oil and gas interests in northeast British Columbia. The financial advisor has solicited bids for the purchase of these assets. Initial bids are due mid-August 2008. The project covers 29,954 (gross) and 28,309 (net) acres in the Monias/Charlie Lake areas. The project primarily targets Montney tight gas and Doig phosphate shale formations. We hold a 25% non-operating interest in the project.

Northern New Mexico update

On July 21, 2008, the Governor of New Mexico directed the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division and Oil Conservation Commission to propose new rules and initiate formal rulemaking for oil and gas

13

operations in Eastern Rio Arriba County, including our leasehold in El Vado East. In light of the Governor’s directive, we withdrew our litigation that was pending in federal district court for the District of New Mexico against Rio Arriba County. Our withdrawal of the pending litigation does not affect our ability to reinstitute proceedings against Rio Arriba County at a later date.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

Oil and gas sales. Oil and gas sales increased $14.5 million, or 149.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $24.1 million from $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in oil and gas sales principally resulted from our increased ownership in the Ozona Northeast field as a result of our acquisition of the 30% working interest in Ozona Northeast (the “Neo Canyon interest”) that we did not already own from Neo Canyon Exploration, L.P. in the fourth quarter of 2007 and increased revenues from our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie fields. We now own a 100% working interest in Ozona

14

Northeast. Of the 2,036 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (“MMcfe”) production reported for the 2008 period, 434 MMcfe was attributable to the interest acquired from Neo Canyon. The increase in oil and gas sales also resulted from continued development of our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie fields. Cinco Terry production rose by 422 MMcfe compared to the prior year period. Production from North Bald Prairie accounted for 104 MMcfe for the current three-month period. Further, the average price per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (“Mcfe”) we received for our production increased from $7.74 to $11.86 per Mcfe as oil and gas prices rose sharply between the two periods. Of the $14.5 million increase in revenues, $9.4 million was attributable to growth in volumes with the remaining $5.1 million due to oil and gas price increases. Natural gas sales represented 76.9% of the total oil and gas sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 89.4% for the prior year period, as our Cinco Terry field has a larger component of oil and natural gas liquids in its production.

Commodity derivative activities. Realized gains and losses from our commodity derivative activity resulted in a loss of $542,000 and a gain of $88,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Realized gains or losses are derived from the relative movement of gas prices in relation to the range of prices in our collars or the fixed notional pricing for the respective time periods. The unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives were a loss of $9.7 million and gain of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Both of these variances are the result of the sharp increase (for the 2008 period) or decrease (for the prior year period) in underlying gas commodity prices. As natural gas commodity prices increase, the fair value of the open portion of those positions decreases. As natural gas commodity prices decrease, the fair value of the open portion of those positions increases. Historically, we have not designated our derivative instruments as cash-flow hedges. We record our open derivative instruments at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as either unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives. We record changes in such fair value in earnings on our consolidated statements of operations under the caption entitled “unrealized loss on commodity derivatives.”

Lease operating. Our lease operating expenses increased $813,000, or 77.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $1.9 million ($0.91 per Mcfe) from $1.0 million ($0.83 per Mcfe) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The primary factors in the increase in lease operating expense were the acquisition of the Neo Canyon interest and the increase in the number of wells from our ongoing development of our three producing fields. On a per Mcfe basis, the increase in lease operating expenses was primarily due to increased compression and treating costs in our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie projects as well as an increase in general maintenance costs in the Ozona Northeast field. We anticipate that the lease operating expenses per Mcfe for Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie will decrease over time as production from those fields increases.

Severance and production taxes. Our production taxes increased $797,000, or 213.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $1.2 million from $373,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in production taxes was a function of the increase in oil and gas sales between the two periods. Severance and productions taxes amounted to approximately 5.0% and 3.8% of oil and gas sales for the respective periods. The increase in the severance and production taxes as a percentage of oil and gas sales is due to the increase in NGL sales in Cinco Terry, which are taxed at a higher rate.

Exploration. We recorded $987,000 of exploration expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Exploration expense in the 2008 period resulted primarily from the extension of lease terms in our Ozona Northeast field. We incur these costs to maintain our leasehold positions and accordingly, we expense them as incurred.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $599,000, or 49.2%, to $1.8 million ($0.89 per Mcfe) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.2 million ($0.97 per

15

Mcfe) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense was principally due to increased staffing, salaries, professional fees, share-based compensation, insurance and travel costs in the 2008 period over the 2007 period.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A). Our DD&A expense increased $3.0 million, or 99.7%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our DD&A expense per Mcfe increased by $0.52, or 21.6%, to $2.93 per Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2.41 per Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in DD&A was primarily attributable to increased production and higher capital costs in the 2008 period. The higher DD&A expense per Mcfe was primarily attributable to higher capital costs in North Bald Prairie and reserve revisions in Ozona Northeast at December 31, 2007. In North Bald Prairie, we paid capital costs attributable to the 50% working interest owned by our working interest partner pursuant to our farm-in agreement on the first five wells drilled.

Interest expense, net. Our interest expense decreased $655,000, or 65.6%, to $343,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $998,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was substantially the result of our lower debt level in the 2008 period as well as lower interest rates during the 2008 period. We had borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility amounting to $7.6 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $46.8 million at June 30, 2007.

Income taxes. Our provision for income taxes decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in income tax expense was due to the decrease in our income before income taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 46.4%, compared with 38.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The higher effective tax rate for the 2008 period is a result of higher share-based compensation expense, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

Oil and gas sales. Oil and gas sales increased $24.1 million, or 126.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $43.2 million from $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in oil and gas sales principally resulted from our increased ownership in the Ozona Northeast field as a result of our acquisition of the Neo Canyon interest in the fourth quarter of 2007 and increased revenue from our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie fields. We now own a 100% working interest in Ozona Northeast. Of the 4,016 MMcfe production reported for the 2008 period, 893 MMcfe was attributable to the interest acquired from Neo Canyon. The increase in oil and gas sales also resulted from continued development of our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie fields. Cinco Terry production rose by 705 MMcfe compared to the prior year period. Production from North Bald Prairie accounted for 213 MMcfe in production for the current six month period. Further, the average price per Mcfe we received for our production increased from $7.32 to $10.75 per Mcfe as oil and gas prices rose sharply between the two periods. Of the $24.1 million increase in revenues, $15.3 million was attributable to growth in volumes with the remaining $8.8 million due to oil and gas price increases. Natural gas sales represented 77.5% of the total oil and gas sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 88.7% for the prior year period, as our Cinco Terry field has a larger component of oil and NGLs in its production.

Commodity derivative activities. Realized losses and gains from our commodity derivative activity decreased our earnings by $481,000 and increased our earnings by $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Realized gains and losses are derived from the relative movement of gas prices in relation to the range of prices in our collars or the fixed notional pricing for the respective time periods. The unrealized losses on commodity derivatives were $14.6 million and $2.9 million for

16

the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Both of these losses were the result of the sharp increase in underlying gas commodity prices. As natural gas commodity prices increase, the fair value of the open portion of those positions decreases. As natural gas commodity prices decrease, the fair value of the open portion of those positions increases. Historically, we have not designated our derivative instruments as cash-flow hedges. We record our open derivative instruments at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as either unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives. We record changes in such fair value in earnings on our consolidated statements of operations under the caption entitled “unrealized loss on commodity derivatives.”

Lease operating. Our lease operating expenses increased $1.2 million, or 60.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $3.3 million ($0.81 per Mcfe) from $2.0 million ($0.78 per Mcfe) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The primary factors in the increase in lease operating expense were the acquisition of the Neo Canyon interest and the increase in the number of wells from our ongoing development of our three producing fields. On a per Mcfe basis, the increase in lease operating expenses was primarily due to increased compression and treating costs in our Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie projects as well as an increase in general maintenance costs in the Ozona Northeast field. We expect that the lease operating expenses per Mcfe for Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie will decrease over time as production from those fields increases.

Severance and production taxes. Our production taxes increased $1.2 million, or 156.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $1.9 million from $748,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in production taxes was a function of the increase in oil and gas sales between the two periods. Severance and productions taxes amounted to approximately 4.4% and 3.9% of oil and gas sales for the respective periods. The increase in the severance and production taxes as a percentage of oil and gas sales is due to the increase in NGL sales in Cinco Terry, which are taxed at a higher rate.

Exploration. We recorded $1.5 million of exploration expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $633,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Exploration expense for the 2008 period resulted from one dry hole drilled in Ozona Northeast and $965,000 of lease extensions in Ozona Northeast. We incur these costs to maintain our leasehold positions and accordingly, we expense them as incurred. Exploration expense for the 2007 period resulted from the drilling of a dry hole test well in our Boomerang project.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 37.8%, to $3.8 million (0.94 per Mcfe) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.7 million ($1.05 per Mcfe) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense was principally due to increased staffing, salaries, professional fees, share-based compensation, insurance and travel costs in the 2008 period over the 2007 period. The 2008 period increase was partially offset by bonus payments made in the 2007 period to cover tax liabilities incurred by management in connection with the exchange of shares of common stock to repay management notes before our initial public offering and a dispute resolution payment to a former officer.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A). Our DD&A expense increased $5.1 million, or 84.0%, to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our DD&A expense per Mcfe increased by $0.44, or 18.8%, to $2.78 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2.34 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in DD&A was primarily attributable to increased production and higher capital costs. The higher DD&A expense per Mcfe was primarily attributable to higher capital costs incurred in North Bald Prairie and reserve revisions in Ozona Northeast at December 31, 2007. In North Bald Prairie, we paid capital costs attributable to the 50% working interest owned by our working interest partner pursuant to our farm-in agreement on the first five wells drilled.

Interest expense, net. Our interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 74.9%, to $491,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was substantially the result of our lower debt level in the 2008 period as well as lower interest rates during the 2008 period. We had borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility amounting to $7.6 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $46.8 million at June 30, 2007.

Income taxes. Our provision for income taxes increased to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $1.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in income tax expense was due to the increase in our income before income taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 38.3%, compared with 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The higher effective income tax rate for the 2007 period was primarily a result of changes in the valuation allowance provided against net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) for Approach Oil & Gas Inc. (“AOG”). We were not able to recognize a tax benefit for the NOLs until after the combination of AOG and the Company in November 2007. At such time, we determined that we would be able to realize the AOG NOLs.

Liquidity and capital resources

We rely on cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and future public equity and debt offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. Our ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions depends upon our future operating performance, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Our cash flow from operations is driven by commodity prices and production volumes. Prices for oil and gas are affected by seasonal influences of weather, national and international economic and political environments and, increasingly, from heightened demand for hydrocarbons from emerging nations, particularly China and India. Our working capital is significantly influenced by changes in commodity prices and significant declines in prices could cause a decrease in our exploration and development expenditures and production volumes. Cash flows from operations are primarily used to fund exploration and development of our mineral interests.

Operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and available cash were used for drilling activities. The $23.9 million in cash flow generated in the 2008 period increased $11.1 million from the same period in 2007 due primarily to an increase in oil and gas sales. Partially offsetting the increase in oil and gas sales was a $9.3 million reduction in working capital in the 2008 period as compared to the 2007 period.

Investing activities

The cash flows used in investing activities in the 2008 period were for the continued development of Ozona Northeast, Cinco Terry and North Bald Prairie. For the comparable 2007 period, the cash flows used in investing activities were for the drilling of Ozona Northeast wells, the acquisition of the Northern New Mexico leasehold, the drilling of Boomerang test wells and the drilling of Cinco Terry wells.

Future capital expenditures for 2008

Our board of directors approved an $80.0 million capital budget for 2008 in May of 2008. The following table summarizes our current estimated 2008 capital expenditures. The $80.0 million capital budget approved in May 2008 does not include the $12.0 million purchase of the deep rights in Ozona Northeast, discussed above in this report under “Recent developments.” We will be required to meet our capital needs from our internally generated cash flow, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, debt financings and equity financings. The estimated capital expenditures are subject to change depending upon a number of factors, including the results of our development and exploration efforts, the availability of sufficient capital resources to us and other participants for drilling prospects, economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and gas and the availability of drilling rigs and crews, our financial results, the availability of leases on reasonable terms and our ability to obtain permits for drilling locations.

Financing activities

We borrowed $38.5 million and $39.4 million under our revolving credit facility during six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We repaid $31.0 million and $40.3 million of the amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,

19

respectively. Additionally, we borrowed $20.0 million in the 2007 period from the issuance of convertible debt.

Our goal is to actively manage our borrowings to help us maintain the flexibility to expand and invest, and to avoid the problems associated with highly leveraged companies of large interest costs and possible debt reductions restricting ongoing operations.

We believe that cash flow from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will finance substantially all of our anticipated drilling, exploration and capital needs through 2008. We will also use our revolving credit facility for possible acquisitions, temporary working capital needs and any additional expansion of our drilling program through 2008. We also may determine to access the public equity or debt market for potential acquisitions, working capital or other liquidity needs, if such financing is available on acceptable terms.

Credit facility

We have a $200.0 million revolving loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with a borrowing base set at $100.0 million and which is redetermined semi-annually on or before each April 1 and October 1 based on our oil and gas reserves. We or the lenders can each request one additional borrowing base redetermination each calendar year. The maturity date under the Loan Agreement is July 2010. The borrowings bear interest based on the bank’s prime rate, or the sum of the LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% based on the borrowings outstanding compared to the borrowing base. We had outstanding borrowings of $7.6 million at June 30, 2008. There were no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2007. The interest rate applicable to our outstanding borrowings was 5.0% and 6.6% as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreement at June 30, 2008.

At July 31, 2008, we had $21.0 million outstanding under our Loan Agreement.

We also have outstanding unused letters of credit under the Loan Agreement totaling $400,000 at June 30, 2008, which reduce amounts available for borrowing under the Loan Agreement.

Contractual obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

From time to time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2008, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include undrawn letters of credit, operating lease agreements and gas transportation commitments. We do not believe that these arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of, or requirements for, capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.

Some of the information below contains forward-looking statements. The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and gas prices, and other related factors. The disclosure is not meant to be a precise

20

indicator of expected future losses, but rather an indicator of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides an indicator of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. Our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for commodity derivative and investment purposes, not for trading purposes.

Commodity price risk

We enter into financial swaps and collars to hedge future oil and gas production to mitigate portions of the risk of market price fluctuations. We do not designate such instruments as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, we record open commodity derivative positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value and recognize changes in such fair values as income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations as they occur.

As of June 30, 2008, we had the following commodity derivative positions outstanding:

Period	Volume (MMBtu)				$/MMBtu
	Monthly		Total		Floor		Ceiling		Fixed
NYMEX — Henry Hub
Costless collars 2008		178,000		1,070,000	$	7.50	$	11.45
Costless collars 2008 (3rd quarter)		100,000		300,000	$	7.00	$	9.10
Costless collars 2008 (3rd - 4th quarter)		200,000		1,200,000	$	9.00	$	12.20
Costless collars 2009		180,000		2,160,000	$	7.50	$	10.50
Costless collars 2009		130,000		1,560,000	$	8.50	$	11.70
Fixed price swaps

WAHA differential
Fixed price swaps 2008		178,000		1,070,000						(0.69	)
Fixed price swaps 2008 (3rd - 4th quarter)		100,000		600,000						(0.67	)
Fixed price swaps 2009		200,000		2,400,000						(0.61	)

At June 30, 2008, the fair value of our open derivative contracts was a liability of $13.7 million. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of our open derivative contracts was an asset $868,000.

We have reviewed the financial strength of our commodity derivative counterparty and believe our credit risk to be minimal. Our commodity derivative counterparty is a participant in our credit facility and the collateral for the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility is used as collateral for our commodity derivatives.

Item 4T. Controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The SEC’s

21

rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 become applicable to us beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2008 to be filed in the first quarter of 2009. We cannot give any assurance, however, that our internal controls will be effective when Section 404 becomes applicable to us. Ineffective internal controls could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings.

We are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that an adverse result in any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, together or in the aggregate, would be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk factors.

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 2. Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults upon senior securities.

None.
