                   GEORESOURCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (Unaudited)



1. In the opinion of the management of GeoResources, Inc. (the "Com-
   pany"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain
   all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
   necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company
   as of June 30, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows
   for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995, and 1994.

   The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1995, are
   not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
   full fiscal year.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
   financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  Therefore,
   it is suggested that these financial statements be read in connec-
   tion with the audited consolidated financial statements and the
   notes included in the Company's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for
   the year ended December 31, 1994.<PAGE>

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion of the Company's financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the finan-
cial statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on
SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Results of Operations

        Information concerning the Company's oil and gas operations for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995, and the respective
percent increase (decrease) from the same period in the prior year, is
set forth in the table below:

                         Oil and Gas Operations

                     Three Months   % Change    Six Months   % Change
                         Ended      From 1994      Ended     From 1994
                     June 30, 1995    Period   June 30, 1995   Period 

Oil and gas produc-
 tion sold (BOE)          41,421       13%          73,833       9% 

Average price per
 BOE                  $    14.92       18%      $    14.58      30% 

Oil and gas revenue   $  617,973       33%      $1,076,613      42% 

Production costs      $  216,216      (12%)     $  433,963      (2%)

Average production
 cost per BOE         $     5.22      (22%)     $     5.88     (10%)

        Oil and gas production sold for the three months ended June 30,
1995, increased 4,600 barrels or 13% compared to the same period in 1994. 
Production sold for the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased 6,200
barrels or 9% compared to the same period in 1994.  Both of these increases
were primarily due to new production from the Company's Oscar Fossum H1
horizontal well (.61 net) that was drilled and completed in the latter
part of the first quarter of 1995.

        Oil and gas revenue increased $153,000 or 33% for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase
was due to the 13% higher sales volume and 18% higher average price per
BOE in the second quarter of 1995 compared to second quarter 1994.  Oil
and gas revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased $318,000
or 42% compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase was due to the
9% higher sales volume and 30% higher average price per BOE that existed
in the first half of 1995 compared to 1994.  The higher average oil prices
for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 1995, resulted
from unusually low oil prices during the first quarter of 1994.<PAGE>

         Production costs for the three months ended June 30, 1995, were
12% lower then the same period in 1994, due to lower workover operations
in the 1995 period.  Production costs for the 1995 six months period were
essentially stable with the prior year.  Production costs expressed on
a per equivalent barrel basis were lower in both the three months and
six months periods ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same periods in
1994, due to the lower production costs previously discussed and due to
the initial contribution of lower cost horizontal well production.

         Leonardite production decreased 4% and 8%, respectively, for
the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 1995, compared
to the equivalent periods in 1994.  Management believes these decreases
are the result of lower domestic natural gas drilling during the first
half of 1995 which reduced demand for the Company's leonardite products.

         Leonardite revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
remained steady compared to the same period in 1994 and decreased 5% for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994
due to the lower production discussed above.  Fluctuations in average
revenue per ton for the three months and six months periods are due to
normal variations in the ratio of basic products to specialty products,
the latter having higher processing costs and selling prices.

         Cost of leonardite sold increased 27% and 11%, respectively,
for the three months and six months periods.  These increases were due
to unusually high equipment repair costs that were incurred in the second
quarter of 1995.

Consolidated Analysis

         Total operating revenues increased 23% and 27%, respectively,
for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 1995 compared
to the same periods in 1994.  These increases were due to increased oil<PAGE>

revenues.  Total operating expenses increased 7% and 6% for the three
months and six months periods of 1995, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1994.  This was primarily due to increased expenses for cost
of leonardite sold and oil and gas depletion, which increased because
of increased oil production.  Operating income increased significantly
in the second quarter 1995 compared to second quarter 1994, due to higher
oil revenues.

        Nonoperating expenses were higher in the six months period ended
June 30, 1995, due primarily to higher interest expense associated with
borrowings to fund the drilling and completion of the Oscar Fossum H1
and several small acquisitions.  Nonoperating expenses were lower in the
1995 three months period, due to gains from oil price hedging activities
which offset the increased interest expense.  The Company's management
plans to continue trading in the futures market to hedge against oil price
fluctuations.

        No income tax benefit or (expense) is recognized in the three
months and six months periods ended June 30, 1995, because no tax is ex-
pected to be currently payable and there has been no net change in the
deferred tax liability. 

        The Company achieved net income for the second quarter, 1995 of
$200,000 or $.05 per share compared to the second quarter, 1994 net income
of $57,000 or $.01 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1995, the Company had negative working capital of
($73,000) compared to a negative working capital of ($87,000), at Decem-
ber 31, 1994.  The Company's current ratio was .93 to 1 at June 30, 1995,
compared to .92 to 1 at year end 1994.  This working capital deficit was
caused by the costs associated with the drilling and completion of the
Company's first horizontal well and the cost of several small acquisi-
tions.  During the second quarter, the Company used a combination of cash
flow from operations and borrowings to pay drilling and completion costs
as they became due.  Management believes the Company could return to a
positive working capital by the end of the third quarter of 1995 assuming
oil prices continue at current levels.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $557,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to $249,000 for the same period
in 1994.  The increase in 1995 operating cash flows was primarily due
to higher oil prices and the 9% increase in production.  Cash was also
utilized to make payments of $916,000 for additions to property, plant
and equipment and $160,000 for payments on long-term debt.

        During the first six months of 1995, the Company borrowed $415,000
to finance the acquisition of interests in several properties and to pay
drilling and completion costs on the Oscar Fossum H1 as previously dis-
cussed. These funds were borrowed under the Company's existing $1,000,000
line-of-credit with its bank.  Through June 30, total funds borrowed on
the line-of-credit were $765,000.  Management believes its future cash
requirements can be met by cash flows from operations and its ability,
if necessary, to borrow on its existing line-of-credit.<PAGE>
