<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J.&nbsp;Ross Craft, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, &#147;Our low-cost
operations and long-lived reserves, combined with our ability to shift our operational focus from
gas to oil and NGLs, are unique strengths of Approach. While commodity prices improved over the
prior year quarter, the near-term outlook for natural gas prices still remains uncertain. We have
the flexibility to respond to fluctuating natural gas prices by reducing rig counts under
short-term operating contracts and reallocating capital to Cinco Terry where we produce more oil
and NGLs. We also believe our investment in a 3-D seismic acquisition program in Cinco Terry
during the first quarter of 2010 will allow our team of geoscientists to high-grade our drilling
locations in order to find and develop low-cost reserves. Above all, our team is committed to
capital discipline in order to deliver long-term value to our stockholders.&#148;

revenues of $13.2&nbsp;million, compared to net income of $868,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, on
revenues of $10.1&nbsp;million, for the first quarter of 2009. Net income for the first quarter of 2010
included the effect of a pre-tax, unrealized gain on commodity derivatives of $5.1&nbsp;million.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Non-GAAP Financial and Other Measures&#148; below for our reconciliation of adjusted net income
(loss)&nbsp;to net income.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Production for the first quarter of 2010 totaled 2 Bcfe (22 MMcfe/d), compared to 2.5 Bcfe
(28.1 MMcfe/d) produced in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 22%. First quarter 2010
production was 72% natural gas and 28% oil and NGLs, compared to 70% natural gas and 30% oil and
NGLs in the first quarter of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2010 was $9&nbsp;million, or $0.43 per diluted share,
compared to $8.3&nbsp;million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009. See
&#147;Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial and Other Measures&#148; below for our reconciliation of EBITDAX to net
income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Average realized natural gas, oil and NGL prices for the first quarter of 2010, before the
effect of commodity derivatives, were $5.39 per Mcf, $75.42 per Bbl of oil and $43.33 per Bbl of
NGLs, respectively, compared to $3.73 per Mcf, $34.37 per Bbl of oil and $20.99 per Bbl of NGLs,
respectively, for the first quarter of 2009. Our average realized price, including the effect of
commodity derivatives, was $6.79 per Mcfe for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $5.24 per Mcfe
for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 30%. Of the $3.2&nbsp;million increase in revenues,
approximately $6.9&nbsp;million was attributable to an increase in oil and gas prices, partially offset
by approximately $3.7&nbsp;million attributable to a reduction in production volumes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lease operating expenses (&#147;LOE&#148;) for the first quarter of 2010 were $1.8&nbsp;million, or $0.93 per
Mcfe, compared to $2.4&nbsp;million, or $0.94 per Mcfe, in the first quarter of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Severance and production taxes for the first quarter of 2010 were $694,000, or 5.2% of oil and
gas sales, compared to $430,000, or 4.3% of oil and gas sales, in the first quarter of 2009. The
increase in production taxes was primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales over the prior
year period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exploration expense for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.5&nbsp;million, or $0.75 per Mcfe.
Exploration expense for the first quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from our acquisition of 3-D
seismic data across Cinco Terry. We recorded no exploration expense for the first quarter of 2009.
We expect quarterly exploration expense for the remainder of 2010 to decrease from the first
quarter of 2010, and exploration expense for the full year 2010 to total between $0.30 per Mcfe and
$0.40 per Mcfe.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General and administrative expenses (&#147;G&#038;A&#148;) for the first quarter of 2010 were $2.5&nbsp;million,
or $1.27 per Mcfe, compared to $2.8&nbsp;million, or $1.11 per Mcfe, for the first quarter of 2009. Our
G&#038;A for the first quarter of 2010 included lower share-based compensation, professional fees and
data processing, compared to the first quarter of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (&#147;DD&#038;A&#148;) for the first quarter of 2010 was
$5.8&nbsp;million, or $2.94 per Mcfe, compared to $6.9&nbsp;million, or $2.74 per Mcfe, for the first quarter
of 2009. The increase in DD&#038;A per Mcfe was primarily attributable to an increase in capitalized
costs and a decrease in estimated proved developed reserves, partially offset by a decrease in
production over the prior year period.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $13.9&nbsp;million, including the
completion of four gross (three net) wells that were waiting on completion at December&nbsp;31, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2010, we drilled a total of 20 gross (14 net) wells, of which 18 gross
(13 net) wells were completed as producers and two gross (one net) wells were waiting on completion
at March&nbsp;31, 2010. The two gross (one net) wells waiting on completion at March&nbsp;31, 2010, have
since been completed as producers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently are operating three rigs in Cinco Terry and one rig in Ozona Northeast. Average
daily production for April&nbsp;2010 was 24.8 MMcfe/d.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the first quarter of 2010, we completed the acquisition of 3-D seismic data across Cinco
Terry. Although interpretation and integrated mapping of the data is not expected to be complete
until September&nbsp;2010, we have drilled two gross (one net) wells that targeted the Ellenburger
reservoir in addition to the Canyon formation since receiving initial 3-D seismic data. The first
well, University 42-22 #7, had 25 feet of net pay in the Ellenburger and 80 feet of net pay in the
Canyon. This well has been completed in the Ellenburger at an initial production rate of 1.1 MMcf/d
and 51 Bbls/d of oil on a 10/64&#148; choke with 2,430 pounds per square inch wellhead flowing pressure.
We plan to complete the Canyon pay interval at a later date. The second well, University 42-22 #9,
had 18 feet of net pay in the Ellenburger and 41 feet of net pay in the Canyon. This well currently
is waiting on completion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have received conditional permits from the Board of County Commissioners of Rio Arriba
County, New Mexico for eight drilling locations in our Mancos Shale/Niobrara El Vado East project.
We are evaluating the conditions and potential costs for the approved locations and will develop a
plan for these locations during the second and third quarters of 2010.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a $200&nbsp;million revolving credit agreement with a $115&nbsp;million borrowing base, of which
$37.2&nbsp;million was drawn at March&nbsp;31, 2010. In May&nbsp;2010, we amended our revolving credit agreement
to (i)&nbsp;extend the maturity date by one year to July&nbsp;31, 2012, (ii)&nbsp;increase our commodity
derivatives limit from 75% to 85% of projected production from proved developed producing
properties and (iii)&nbsp;transfer the interest of Fortis Capital Corp. to BNP Paribas. In addition,
the lenders under our revolving credit facility reaffirmed our borrowing base at $115&nbsp;million. Our
borrowing base is redetermined semiannually. At March&nbsp;31, 2010, our long-term debt-to-capital
ratio and liquidity were 14% and $78.4&nbsp;million, respectively. See &#147;Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial
and Other Measures&#148; below for our definitions of &#147;long-term debt-to-capital ratio&#148; and &#147;liquidity.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At March&nbsp;31, 2010, we had commodity derivatives covering 54% of our expected natural gas
production for the remainder of 2010, based on the midpoint of 2010 production guidance, at a weighted average price
of $6.18 per MMBtu. The following table details our commodity derivative positions at March&nbsp;31,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This release contains certain financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. We have provided
reconciliations within this release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures here and on the Non-GAAP Financial Information page in the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This release contains the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income (loss)&nbsp;and adjusted
net income (loss)&nbsp;per diluted share, which exclude an unrealized, pre-tax gain on commodity
derivatives and related income taxes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amounts included in the calculation of adjusted net income (loss)&nbsp;and adjusted net income
(loss)&nbsp;per diluted share below were computed in accordance with GAAP. We believe adjusted net
income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide
readers with a more meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose
timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. However, these measures are provided in addition
to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information
contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes),
included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We define EBITDAX as net income, plus (1)&nbsp;exploration expense, (2)&nbsp;depletion, depreciation and
amortization expense, (3)&nbsp;share-based compensation expense, (4)&nbsp;unrealized gain on commodity
derivatives, (5)&nbsp;interest expense and (6)&nbsp;income taxes. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or
cash flow as determined by GAAP. The amounts included in the calculation of EBITDAX were computed
in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of net
income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a
company&#146;s ability to internally fund development and exploration activities. This measure is
provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the
information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the
notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as of March&nbsp;31, 2010, and by dividing long-term
debt (GAAP)&nbsp;of $37.2&nbsp;million by the sum of total stockholders&#146; equity (GAAP)&nbsp;and long-term debt
(GAAP)&nbsp;of $261.8&nbsp;million. We use the long-term debt-to-capital ratio as a measurement of our
overall financial leverage. However, this ratio has limitations. This ratio can vary from year to
year for the Company and can vary among companies based on what is or is not included in the ratio
on a company&#146;s financial statements. This ratio is provided in addition to, and not as an
alternative for, and should be read
in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Liquidity is calculated by adding the net funds available under our revolving credit facility
and cash and cash equivalents. We use liquidity as an indicator of the Company&#146;s ability to fund
development and exploration activities. However, this measurement has limitations. This
measurement can vary from year to year for the Company and can vary among companies based on what
is or is not included in the measurement on a company&#146;s financial statements. This measurement is
provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the
information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the
notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.
