Summary

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and is incorporated herein by reference. If you are not familiar with the oil and gas terms or

Our company
Approach Resources Inc. is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and gas
properties. We focus on oil and gas reserves in oil shale and tight gas sands in the southern Midland Basin of the greater Permian Basin in West
Texas, where we lease approximately 148,000 net acres. This acreage provides us with a multi-year inventory of horizontal and vertical drilling
opportunities. Our dril ing targets include the Clearfork, Wolfcamp shale, Canyon Sands, Strawn and El enburger zones. We sometimes refer to the
Clearfork and Wolfcamp zones together as the "Wolffork," and our development project in the Permian Basin as "Project Pangea," which includes
the northwestern portion of Project Pangea that we refer to as "Pangea West."
Since our inception, we have grown production and reserves primarily through our dril ing program. Our reserves and production compounded
annual growth rates since 2004 have been 32% and 35%, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, we had working and net revenue interests of
approximately 100% and 76%, respectively, across Project Pangea and Pangea West, and owned interests in approximately 667 wel s. As the
operator of all of our estimated proved reserves and production, we have a high degree of control over capital expenditures and other operating
matters. In addition, our management and technical team have a proven track record of finding and developing reserves through advanced dril ing
and completion techniques. Driven primarily by our results in the Wolfcamp shale, our year-end 2012 proved reserves of 95.5 MMBoe were made
up of 69% oil and NGLs (39% oil) and our production for first quarter 2013 was made up of 69% oil and NGLs (41% oil). For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2012, we generated revenues, net income and EBITDAX (non-GAAP) of $128.9 mil ion, $6.4 mil ion and $83 mil ion,
respectively. For a reconciliation of EBITDAX to net income (loss), see "--Summary condensed consolidated financial data--Reconciliation of
EBITDAX to net income (loss)."
