On August 2, 2012, Halcón Resources Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release with respect to the Company's second quarter 2012 financial results. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The press release contains certain measures discussed below that 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 (the "Exchange Act"). 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 Exchange Act, 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 Net Income (Loss) and Earnings Per Share excluding selected items. Net Income (Loss) excluding selected items and Earnings per Share excluding selected items are presented based on management's belief that these non-GAAP measures enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these items on reported results. Additionally, this presentation provides a beneficial comparison to similarly adjusted measurements of prior periods. Net Income (Loss) excluding selected items and Earnings per Share excluding selected items are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net Income and Earnings per Share, as defined by GAAP. Net Income (Loss) excluding selected items and Earnings Per Share excluding selected items may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the performance of those companies to our performance.
