Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006
includes a correction of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three month period
ended March 31, 2006. The correction relates to our cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principle upon adoption of FASB Statement No. 123(R). We incorrectly recognized an after-tax
effect of $279,000 relating to our equity-settled SARs granted in the last half of 2005. The
adjustment included $163,000 of deferred tax benefit. There was no effect on earnings per share
due to this correction. The following is a summary of the correction.

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
We are engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties
primarily in the Southwestern, Appalachian and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. We seek to
increase our reserves and production primarily through drilling and complementary acquisitions.
Range is a Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange.
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Range Resources Corporation 2005 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These
consolidated financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with
the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and do not include all
of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for complete financial statements. All common stock shares, treasury stock shares
and per-share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split effected on
December 2, 2005. Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation of prior periods to
conform to current year presentation.
(3) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options granted under our stock-based
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. For our stock options, no
stock-based compensation expense was recognized in our statements of operations prior to January 1,
2006, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified
prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the
first quarter of 2006 includes (a) compensation cost ($2.6 million) for all share-based payments
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123 and (b) compensation cost
($272,000) for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with Statement No. 123(R). Pursuant to Statement No.
123(R), results for prior periods have not been restated.
We also began granting stock appreciation rights, or SARs, in July 2005 as part of our
stock-based compensation plans to limit the dilutive impact of our equity plans. Prior to January
1, 2006, we also accounted for these SARs grants under the recognition and measurement provisions
of APB Opinion No. 25, which requires expense to be recognized equal to the amount by which the
quoted market value exceeds the original grant price on a mark-to-market basis. Therefore, we
recognized $5.8 million of compensation cost in the last six months of 2005 related to SARs. On
January 1, 2006, as required under the provisions of Statement No. 123(R), those SARs granted prior
to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, were expensed based on grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123 and all SARs granted
subsequent to December 31, 2005 will be expensed based on grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with Statement No. 123(R).
As a result of adopting Statement No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, our income before income
taxes and net income for the first quarter are $1.6 million and $1.3 million lower, respectively,
than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion No. 25. Basic and
diluted earnings per share for the first quarter would have been $0.44 and $0.42, respectively, if
we had not adopted Statement No. 123(R), compared to reported basic and diluted earnings per share
of $0.43 and $0.41, respectively. Also, as a result of adopting Statement No. 123(R), our December
31, 2005 unearned deferred compensation and additional paid-in capital related to our restricted
stock issuances was eliminated.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123(R) to options and SARs granted
under our stock-based compensation plans in all periods presented. For the purposes of this pro
forma disclosure, the value is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and
amortized to expense over the options vesting periods.

(6) ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases, and accordingly, the results of operations are
included in our consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Purchase prices
are allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the
time of the acquisition. Acquisitions have been funded with internal cash flow, bank borrowings
and the issuance of debt and equity securities. We purchased various properties for $10.0 million
and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
purchases included $335,000 and $370,000 for proved oil and gas reserves for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with the remainder representing unproved acreage.
In June 2005, we purchased Permian Basin oil and gas properties for $116.4 million through the
purchase of Plantation Petroleum Acquisition LLC. As a purchase price allocation, we have recorded
$136.8 million to oil and gas properties, $133,000 of working capital, $20.5 million deferred tax
liability and $119,000 additional asset retirement obligations. The acquisition was partially
funded with the proceeds from a public offering of 6.9 million common shares ($109.4 million). No
pro forma information has been provided as the acquisition was not considered significant.

Bank Debt
In June 2004, we entered into an amended and restated $600.0 million revolving bank facility,
which is secured by substantially all of our assets. The bank credit facility provides for a
borrowing base subject to redeterminations semi-annually each April and October and pursuant to
certain unscheduled redeterminations. At March 31, 2006, the borrowing base was $600.0 million.
At March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance under the bank credit facility was $246.1 million and
there was $353.9 million of borrowing capacity available. In April 2006, the loan maturity was
extended two years to January 1, 2011 and the borrowing base was redetermined at $600.0 million.
Borrowing under the bank credit facility can either be base rate loans or LIBOR loans. On all base
rate loans, the rate per annum is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum rate (the weekly ceiling
as defined in Section 303 of the Texas Finance Code or other applicable laws if greater) (the
Maximum Rate) or, (ii) the sum of (A) the higher of (1) the prime rate for such date, or (2) the
sum of the federal funds effective rate for such data plus one-half of one percent (0.50%) per
annum, plus a base rate margin of between 0.0% to 0.5% per annum depending on the total outstanding
under the bank credit facility relative to the borrowing base. On all LIBOR loans, we pay a
varying rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate, or (ii) the sum of the quotient
of (A) the LIBOR base rate, divided by (B) one minus the reserve requirement applicable to such
interest period, plus a LIBOR margin of between 1.0% and 1.75% per annum depending on the total
outstanding under the bank credit facility relative to the borrowing base. We may elect, from
time-to-time, to convert all or any part of our LIBOR loans to base rate loans or to convert all or
any part of the base rate loans to LIBOR loans. The weighted average interest rate on the bank
credit facility was 5.6% and 4.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
A commitment fee is paid on the undrawn balance based on an annual rate of between 0.25% and
0.50%. At March 31, 2006, the commitment fee was 0.25% and the interest rate margin was 1.0%. At
April 24, 2006, the interest rate (including applicable margin) was 5.9%.
7-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
In 2003, we issued $100.0 million of 7-3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, or the 7-3/8%
Notes. In 2004, we issued an additional $100.0 million of 7-3/8% Notes; therefore, $200.0 million
of the 7-3/8% Notes are currently outstanding. We pay interest on the 7-3/8% Notes semi-annually
in January and July of each year. The 7-3/8% Notes mature in 2013 and are guaranteed by certain of
our subsidiaries. The 7-3/8% Notes were issued at a discount which is amortized into interest
expense over the life of the 7-3/8% Notes.
We may redeem the 7-3/8% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2008, at
redemption prices from 103.7% of the principal amount as of July 15, 2008, and declining to 100.0%
on July 15, 2011 and thereafter. Prior to July 15, 2006, we may redeem up to 35% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 107.4% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
If we experience a change of control, there may be a requirement to repurchase all or a portion of
the 7-3/8% Notes at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The
7-3/8% Notes and the guarantees by our subsidiary guarantors are general, unsecured obligations and
are subordinated to our senior debt and will be subordinated to future senior debt that Range and
our subsidiary guarantors are permitted to incur under the bank credit facility and the indenture
governing the 7-3/8% Notes.
6-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2015
In 2005, we issued $150.0 million of 6-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, or the 6-3/8%
Notes. We pay interest on the 6-3/8% Notes semi-annually in March and September of each year. The
6-3/8% Notes mature in 2015 and are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.
12
We may redeem the 6-3/8% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2010,
at redemption prices from 103.2% of the principal amount as of March 15, 2010 and declining to 100%
on March 15, 2013 and thereafter. Prior to March 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 106.4% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
If we experience a change of control, there may be a requirement to repurchase all or a portion of
the 6-3/8% Notes at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The
6-3/8% Notes and the guarantees by our subsidiary guarantors are general, unsecured obligations and
are subordinated to our bank debt and will be subordinated to future senior debt that Range and our
subsidiary guarantors are permitted to incur under the bank credit facility and the indenture
governing the 6-3/8% Notes.
Subsidiary Guarantors
Range Resources Corporation is a holding company which owns no operating assets and has no
significant operations independent of its subsidiaries. The guarantees of the 7-3/8% Notes and the
6-3/8% Notes are full and unconditional and joint and several; any subsidiaries other than the
subsidiary guarantors are either minor subsidiaries or indirect subsidiaries, or both.
Debt Covenants
The debt agreements contain covenants relating to working capital, dividends and financial
ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2006. Under the bank credit
facility, dividends are permitted, subject to the provisions of the restricted payment basket. The
bank credit facility provides for a restricted payment basket of $20.0 million plus 50% of net
income plus 66-2/3% of net cash proceeds from common stock issuances. Approximately $399.0 million
was available under the bank credit facilitys restricted payment basket on March 31, 2006. The
terms of both the 6-3/8% Notes and the 7-3/8% Notes limit restricted payments (including dividends)
to the greater of $20.0 million or a formula based on earnings and equity issuances since the
original issuance of the notes. At March 31, 2006, $461.3 million was available under both the
6-3/8% Notes and the 7-3/8% Notes restricted payments basket.
(9) DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES
At March 31, 2006, we had open swap contracts covering 5.7 Bcf of gas at prices averaging
$6.57 per mcf and 0.1 million barrels of oil at prices averaging $35.00 per barrel. We also had
collars covering 83.6 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range from $6.92 to
$9.64 per mcf and 5.3 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap prices that range
from $48.74 to $61.54 per barrel. Their fair value, represented by the estimated amount that would
be realized upon termination, based on a comparison of the contract prices and a reference price,
generally New York Mercantile Exchange, or the NYMEX, on March 31, 2006, was a net unrealized
pre-tax loss of $134.9 million. The contracts expire monthly through December 2008. Transaction
gains and gains on settled contracts are determined monthly and are included as increases or
decreases to oil and gas revenues in the period the hedged production is sold. Oil and gas
revenues were decreased by $17.9 million and $20.9 million due to realized hedging in the three
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other revenues in our consolidated statement
of operations include ineffective hedging gains on hedges that qualified for hedge accounting of
$1.4 million and $125,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the
fourth quarter of 2005, certain of our gas hedges no longer qualified for hedge accounting and were
marked-to-market in the first quarter of 2006 which resulted in a gain of $11.3 million.

We use interest rate swap agreements to manage the risk that interest payments on amounts
outstanding under the variable rate bank credit facility may be adversely affected by volatility in
market rates. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we agree to pay an amount equal to a
specified fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount, and to receive in return, a
specified variable rate of interest times the same notional principal amount. Our interest rate
swaps are not designated as hedges and are marked-to-market each month as a component of interest
expense. At March 31, 2006, we had interest rate swap agreements totaling $35.0 million. These
swaps consist of two agreements at 1.8% which expire in June 2006. The fair value of the swaps at
March 31, 2006 was a net unrealized pre-tax gain of $199,700. On March 31, 2006, the 90-day LIBOR
rate was 5.0%.
The combined fair value of net unrealized losses on oil and gas derivatives and net gains on
interest rate swaps totaled $134.7 million and appear as unrealized derivative gains and losses on
the balance sheet. Hedging activities are conducted with major financial and commodities trading
institutions which we believe are acceptable credit risks. At times, such risks may be
concentrated with certain counterparties. The creditworthiness of the counterparties is subject to
continuing review.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of
business, one of which is Jack Freeman, et al. v. Great Lakes Energy Partners L.L.C., et al. This
was a class-action suit filed in 2000 and is currently pending against Great Lakes and Range in the
state court of Chautauqua County, New York. The plaintiffs were seeking to recover actual damages
and expenses plus punitive damages based on allegations that we sold gas to affiliates and gas
marketers at low prices, and that inappropriate post production expenses were used to reduce
proceeds to the royalty owners, and that improper accounting was used for the royalty owners share
of gas. A negotiated and pending settlement of this suit is pending the judges review. The
estimated settlement of $725,000 was reflected in general and administrative expense in the fourth
quarter of 2005. In managements opinion, we are not involved in any litigation, the outcome of

The 8.9 million shares outstanding at March 31, 2006 had an aggregate intrinsic value (or
difference in value between exercise and market price) of $139.0 million and the 4.4 million shares
exercisable at March 31, 2006 had an aggregate intrinsic value of $90.9 million. The total
intrinsic value of options/SARs exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $20.7
million. Cash received from options/SARs exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2006
totaled $4.9 million.
Restricted Stock Grants
During the first quarter of 2006, 328,600 shares of restricted stock (5,100 shares from
treasury stock) were issued to employees at an average price of $24.32 and have a three-year
vesting period. In 2005, we issued 192,500 shares of restricted stock (from treasury stock) as
compensation to directors and employees at an average price of $22.47. The restricted grants
included 26,200 issued to directors, which vest immediately, and 166,300 to employees with vesting
ranging from three to four years. We recorded compensation expense related to these grants which
is based upon the market value of the shares on the date of grant of $472,000 and $174,000 in the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
In December 2004, we adopted the Range Resources Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, or
the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan. The 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan gives directors, officers
and key employees the ability to defer all or a portion of their salaries and bonuses and invests
such amounts in Range common stock or makes other investments at the individuals discretion. The
assets of the plan are held in a rabbi trust, which we refer to as the Rabbi Trust, and are
therefore available to satisfy the claims of our creditors in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency. Our stock held in the Rabbi Trust is treated in a manner similar to treasury stock
with an offsetting amount reflected as a deferred compensation liability and the carrying value of
the deferred compensation liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period by a charge or
credit to non-cash stock compensation expense on our consolidated statement of operations. The
assets of the Rabbi Trust, other than Range common stock, are invested in marketable securities and
reported at market value in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. The deferred
compensation liability on our balance sheet reflects the market value of the securities held in the
Rabbi Trusts. The cost of common stock held in the Rabbi Trusts is shown as a reduction to
stockholders equity. Changes in the market value of the marketable securities are reflected in
other comprehensive income, or OCI, while changes in the market value of the Range common stock
held in the Rabbi Trust is charged or credited to non-cash stock compensation expense each quarter.
Based on end of month stock prices of $27.31 and $15.57, we recorded non-cash mark-to-market
expense related to deferred compensation of $4.5 million and $4.1 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Options to purchase 982,000 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the

exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and
would be anti-dilutive to the computations.

Overview
Revenues increased 75% for the first quarter of 2006 over the same period of 2005. This
increase is due to higher production and realized prices and a favorable mark-to-market value
adjustment on oil and gas derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. For the first
quarter of 2006, production increased 12% due to the continued success of our drilling program.
Realized oil and gas prices were higher by 46% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same
period of 2005 reflecting higher market prices and the expiration of lower priced oil and gas
hedges. Our remaining hedges reduced potential revenue by $17.9 million in the first three months
of 2006 and by $20.9 million in the same period of 2005.
Higher production volumes and higher oil and gas prices have improved our profit margins.
However, Range and the oil and gas industry as a whole continues to experience higher operating
costs due to heightened competition for qualified employees, goods and services. On a unit cost
basis, our direct operating costs increased $0.12 per mcfe, a 17% increase from the first quarter
of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006. Service and personnel cost increases are occurring in all
facets of our business as oil and gas industry fundamentals remain favorable and it is anticipated
that upward pressure on costs will continue.
Comparison of Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
Net income increased $33.4 million to $55.7 million primarily due to higher realized oil and
gas prices, higher production volumes and a favorable mark-to-market value adjustment on oil and
gas derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Oil and gas revenues for the first
quarter of 2006 reached $176.3 million and were 64% higher than 2005 due to higher oil and gas
prices and a 12% increase in production. A 75% increase in total revenues was partially offset by
higher exploration expenses, non-cash stock compensation expense, operating costs, DD&A and
interest expense.
Average realized price received for oil and gas during the first quarter of 2006 was $7.62 per
mcfe, up 46% or $2.40 per mcfe from the same quarter of the prior year. The average price received
in the first quarter for oil increased 29% to $46.59 per barrel and increased 53% to $7.83 per mcf
for gas from the same period of 2005. The effect of our hedging program decreased realized prices
$0.77 per mcfe in the first quarter of 2006 versus a decrease of $1.02 per mcfe in the same period
of 2005.
Production volumes increased 12% from the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to continued
drilling success. Our production for the first quarter was 257.1 Mmcfe per day of which 52% was
attributable to our Southwestern division, 39% to our Appalachian division and 9% to our Gulf Coast
division.
Transportation and gathering revenue of $142,000 decreased $386,000 from 2005. This decrease
is primarily due to higher gathering expenses and lower processing margins somewhat offset by
higher volumes.
Other revenue increased in 2006 to a gain of $1.4 million from $17,000 in 2005. The 2006
period includes $1.4 million of ineffective hedging gains. Other revenue for 2005 includes
$125,000 of ineffective hedging gains and a $110,000 favorable lawsuit settlement offset by
$274,000 of net IPF expenses.
Direct operating expense increased $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $19.4 million
due to higher oilfield service costs and higher volumes. Our operating expenses are increasing as
we add new wells and maintain production from our existing properties. We incurred $1.2 million
($0.05 per mcfe) of workover costs in 2006 versus $980,000 ($0.05 per mcfe) in 2005. On a per mcfe
basis, direct operating expenses increased $0.12 per mcfe from the same period of 2005.
The workover costs were primarily attributable to workovers on properties located in the Gulf of
Mexico and included continuing costs associated with the 2005 hurricanes
Production and ad valorem taxes are paid based on market prices, not hedged prices. These
taxes increased $4.0 million or 69% from the same period of the prior year due to higher volumes
and increasing prices and assessed values. On a per mcfe basis, production and ad valorem taxes
increased to $0.42 per mcfe in 2006 from $0.28 per mcfe in the same period of 2005.
Exploration expense increased to $9.5 million due principally to higher seismic expenditures
($3.6 million) and higher dry hole costs ($2.2 million). Exploration expense includes exploration
personnel costs of $1.6 million in 2006 versus $1.4 million in 2005.
General and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2006 increased $2.8 million from
2005 due to higher salaries and benefits ($1.7 million) and higher legal expenses ($650,000). On a
per mcfe basis, general and administration expense increased from $0.32 per mcfe in 2005 to $0.41
per mcfe in 2006.
20
Non-cash stock compensation for the first quarter of 2006 increased $3.3 million from 2005 due
to an increase in the value of Range stock held in the deferred compensation plans. The first
quarter of 2006 also includes $2.8 million additional compensation expense as a result of the
adoption of Statement No. 123(R).
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2006 increased $2.0 million to $10.6 million due to
rising interest rates and the refinancing of certain debt from floating to higher fixed rates late
in the first quarter of 2005. In March 2005, we issued $150.0 million of 6-3/8% Notes which added
$1.8 million of interest costs in the first quarter of 2006. The proceeds from the issuance of the
6-3/8% Notes were used to retire lower interest bank debt. Average debt outstanding on the bank
credit facility was $278.6 million and $398.4 million for the first quarter of 2006 and 2005,
respectively and the average interest rates were 5.6% and 4.1%, respectively.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization, or DD&A, increased $4.8 million or 16% to $34.6
million in the first quarter of 2006 with a 12% increase in production and a 6% increase in
depletion rates. On a per mcfe basis, DD&A increased from $1.45 per mcfe in the first quarter of
2005 to $1.49 per mcfe in the first quarter of 2006.
Tax expense for 2006 increased to $33.1 million reflecting the 153% increase in income before
taxes compared to the same period of 2005. The first quarter of 2006 and 2005 provide for a tax
expense at an effective rate of approximately 37%. Current income taxes of $578,000 represent
state income taxes.
The following table presents information about our operating expenses per mcfe for the three
months ended March 2006 and 2005:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, our cash provided from operations was $125.5
million and we spent $107.6 million on capital expenditures (including acquisitions). During this
period, financing activities used net cash of $21.5 million. At March 31, 2006, we had $1.3
million in cash, total assets of $2.0 billion and a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 42.1%.
Long-term debt at March 31, 2006 totaled $593.1 million including $246.1 million of bank credit
facility debt and $347.0 million of senior subordinated notes. Available borrowing capacity under
the bank credit facility at March 31, 2006 was $353.9 million.
Cash is required to fund capital expenditures necessary to offset inherent declines in
production and proven reserves which is typical in the capital-intensive extractive industry.
Future success in growing reserves and production will be highly dependent on capital resources
available and the success of finding or acquiring additional reserves. We believe that net cash
generated from operating activities and unused committed borrowing capacity under the bank credit
facility combined with our oil and gas price hedges currently in place will be adequate to satisfy
near-term financial obligations and liquidity needs. However, long-term cash flows are subject to
a number of variables including the level of production and prices as well as various economic
conditions that have historically affected the oil and gas business. A material drop in oil and
gas prices or a reduction in production and reserves would reduce our ability to fund capital
expenditures, reduce debt, meet financial obligations and remain profitable. We operate in an
environment with numerous financial and operating risks, including, but not limited to, the
inherent risks of the search for, development and production of oil and gas, the ability to buy
properties and sell production at prices which provide an attractive return and the highly
competitive nature of the industry. Our ability to expand our reserve base is, in part, dependent
on obtaining sufficient capital through internal cash flow, bank borrowings or the issuance of debt
or equity securities. There can be no assurance that internal cash flow and other capital sources
will provide sufficient funds to maintain capital expenditures that we believe are necessary to
offset inherent declines in production and proven reserves.
Bank Debt
The debt agreements contain covenants relating to working capital, dividends and financial
ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2006. Under the bank credit
facility, common and preferred dividends are permitted, subject to the terms of the restricted
payment basket. The bank credit facility provides for a restricted payment
21
basket of $20.0 million plus 50% of net income plus 66-2/3% of net cash proceeds from common stock
issuances occurring since December 31, 2001. Approximately $399.0 million was available under the
bank credit facilitys restricted payment basket on March 31, 2006. The terms of the 6-3/8% Notes
and the 7-3/8% Notes limit restricted payments (including dividends) to the greater of $20.0
million or a formula based on earnings since the issuance of the notes and 100% of net cash
proceeds from common stock issuances. Approximately $461.3 million was available under both the
6-3/8% Notes and the 7-3/8% Notes restricted payment basket on March 31, 2006.
We maintain a $600.0 million revolving bank credit facility. The facility is secured by
substantially all our assets. Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base set
by the banks semi-annually and in certain other circumstances more frequently. Redeterminations,
other than increases, require the approval of 75% of the lenders while increases require unanimous
approval. At April 24, 2006, the bank credit facility had a $600.0 million borrowing base of which
$321.4 million was available.
Cash Flow
Our principal sources of cash are operating cash flow and bank borrowings and at times, the
sale of assets and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Our operating cash flow is highly
dependent on oil and gas prices. As of March 31, 2006, we have entered into hedging agreements
covering 46.1 Bcfe, 49.6 Bcfe and 26.0 Bcfe for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Net cash
provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $125.5 million and
$63.5 million, respectively. Cash flow from operations was higher than the prior year due to
higher prices and volumes, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Net cash used in
investing for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $107.4 million and $47.0 million,
respectively. The 2006 period includes $94.3 million of additions to oil and gas properties and
$10.0 million of acquisitions. The 2005 period included $43.3 million of additions to oil and gas
properties and $2.6 million of acquisitions. Net cash used in financing for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $21.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively. This increase was
primarily the result of our increased cash flows which were used to reduce the credit facility
balance. During the first three months of 2006 total debt decreased $23.0 million.
Dividends
On March 1, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of two cents per share ($2.6
million) on our common stock, payable on March 31, 2006 to stockholders of record at the close of
business on March 15, 2006.
Capital Requirements
The 2006 capital budget is currently set at $429.0 million (excluding acquisitions) and based
on current projections, is expected to be funded with internal cash flow. For the three months
ended March 31, 2006, $89.3 million of development and exploration spending was funded with
internal cash flow.
Contractual Cash Obligations
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, there have been no significant changes to our contractual
obligations other than the extension of the maturity date on our credit facility by two years, a
new ten-year office lease and a commitment for one drilling rig. The new office lease begins in
April 2007 with payments of $1.4 million per year for the first five years and $1.6 million for the
next five years. We have entered into a contract with a drilling contractor to use one rig for
1.5 years with a minimum future commitment of $3.4 million in 2006 and $3.7 million in 2007. Early
termination of this contract at March 31, 2006 would have required us to pay maximum penalties of
$6.8 million. We do not expect to pay any termination penalties related to this contract. There
have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements subsequent to December 31,
2005.
Other Contingencies
We are involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business
as described in Footnote 10 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. We believe the
resolution of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or
consolidated financial position of Range.
Hedging Oil and Gas Prices
We enter into hedging agreements to reduce the impact of oil and gas price volatility on our
operations. At March 31, 2006, swaps were in place covering 5.7 Bcf of gas at prices averaging
$6.57 per mcf and 0.1 million barrels of oil at prices averaging $35.00 per barrel. We also have
collars covering 83.6 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range from $6.92 to
$9.64 per mcf and 5.3 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap prices that range
from $48.74 to $61.54 per barrel. Their fair value at March 31, 2006 (the estimated amount that
would be realized on termination based on contract price and a reference price, generally NYMEX)
was a net unrealized pre-tax loss of $134.9
22
million. Gains and losses are determined monthly and are included as increases or decreases in oil
and gas revenues in the period the hedged production is sold. An ineffective portion (changes in
contract prices that do not match changes in the hedge price) of open hedge contracts is recognized
in earnings quarterly in other revenue. As of the fourth quarter of 2005, certain of our gas
hedges no longer qualify for hedge accounting and were marked-to-market in the first quarter of
2006 resulting in a gain of $11.3 million.
At March 31, 2006, the following commodity derivative contracts were outstanding:

Interest Rates
At March 31, 2006, we had $593.1 million of debt outstanding. Of this amount, $350.0 million
bore interest at fixed rates averaging 6.9%. Bank debt totaling $246.1 million bears interest at
floating rates, which average 5.9% at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2006, we had interest rate swap
agreements totaling $35.0 million. These swaps consist of two agreements at 1.8% which expire in
June 2006. The fair value of the swaps, based on then current quotes for equivalent agreements at
March 31, 2006 was a net gain of $199,700. The 90 day LIBOR rate on March 31, 2006 was 5.0%.
Inflation and Changes in Prices
Our revenues, the value of our assets, our ability to obtain bank loans or additional capital
on attractive terms have been and will continue to be affected by interest rates, changes in oil
and gas prices and the costs to produce our reserves. Oil and gas prices are subject to
significant fluctuations that are beyond our ability to control or predict. During the first
quarter of 2006, we received an average of $59.80 per barrel of oil and $8.29 per mcf of gas before
hedging compared to $47.09 per barrel of oil and $5.97 per mcf of gas in the same period of the
prior year. Increases in commodity prices and the increased demand for services can cause
inflationary pressures specific to the industry to increase for both services and personnel costs.
We expect these costs to continue to increase during the next twelve months. Our operations are
generally not in high demand areas but continued price inflation is expected and high demand areas
draw service providers away from other areas which results in fewer services being available where
we operate.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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 interest rates.
The disclosures are not meant to be indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of
reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view
and manage our ongoing market-risk exposures. All of our market-risk sensitive instruments were
entered into for purposes other than trading. All accounts are US dollar denominated.
Market Risk. Our major market risk is exposure to oil and gas prices. Realized prices are
primarily driven by worldwide prices for oil and spot market prices for North American gas
production. Oil and gas prices have been volatile and unpredictable for many years.
Commodity Price Risk. We periodically enter into hedging arrangements with respect to our oil
and gas production. Hedging is intended to reduce the impact of oil and gas price fluctuations. A
portion of our hedges are swaps where we receive a fixed price for our production and pay market
prices to the counterparty. Our hedging program also includes collars which establish a minimum
floor price and a maximum ceiling price. In times of increasing price volatility, we may
experience losses from our hedging arrangements and increased basis differentials at the delivery
points where we market our production. Widening basis differentials occur when the physical
delivery market prices do not increase proportionately to the increased prices in the financial
trading markets. Realized gains or losses are recognized in oil and gas revenue when the
associated production occurs. Gains or losses on open contracts are recorded either in current
period income or OCI. Generally, derivative losses occur when market prices increase, which are
offset by gains on the underlying commodity transaction. Conversely, derivative gains occur when
market prices decrease, which are offset by losses on the underlying commodity transaction.
Ineffective gains and losses are recognized in earnings in other revenues. We do not enter into
derivative instruments for trading purposes.
As of March 31, 2006, we had oil and gas swap hedges in place covering 5.7 Bcf of gas and, 0.1
million barrels of oil at prices averaging $6.57 per mcf and $35.00 per barrel. We also had
collars covering 83.6 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range from $6.92 to
$9.64 per mcf and 5.3 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap prices that range
from $48.74 to $61.54 per barrel. Their fair value, represented by the estimated amount that would
be realized upon immediate liquidation, based on contract versus NYMEX prices, approximated a net
unrealized pre-tax loss of $134.9 million at that date. These contracts expire monthly through
December 2008. Gains or losses on open and closed hedging transactions are determined as the
difference between the contract price received by us for the sale of our hedged production and the
hedge price, generally closing prices on the NYMEX. Net realized losses relating to these
derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $17.9 million and $20.9
million, respectively. Losses or gains due to commodity hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in
earnings in other revenues in our consolidated statement of operations. The ineffective portion of
hedges was a gain of $1.4 million in the first three months of 2006 and a gain of $125,000 in the
first three months of 2005. As of the fourth quarter of 2005, certain of our gas hedges no longer
qualified for hedge accounting were marked-to-market in the first quarter of 2006 as a gain of
$11.3 million.
In the first three months of 2006, a 10% reduction in oil and gas prices, excluding amounts
fixed through hedging transactions, would have reduced revenue by $19.5 million. If oil and gas
future prices at March 31, 2006 declined 10%, the unrealized hedging loss at that date would have
decreased by $63.8 million.
Interest rate risk. At March 31, 2006, we had $593.1 million of debt outstanding. Of this
amount, $350.0 million bore interest at fixed rates averaging 6.9%. Senior debt totaling $246.1
million bore interest at floating rates averaging 5.9%. At March 31, 2006, we had interest rate
swap agreements totaling $35.0 million (see Note 7), which had a fair value gain of $199,700 at
that date. A 1% increase or decrease in short-term interest rates would affect interest expense by
approximately $2.1 million.
24
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Exchange Act). Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting us to material information required to be
included in this report. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter
that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control
over financial reporting.
