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 (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 of prior year data have been made to conform to 2006
classifications. For the first six months of 2006, non-cash compensation expense recognized as a
result of adopting Statement No. 123(R) was recorded in non-cash stock compensation. The nine
months ended September 2006 includes a year-to-date reclassification of this expense from non-cash
stock compensation into direct operating expense ($645,000), exploration expense ($1.2 million),
general and administrative expense ($5.1 million) and a reduction of $145,000 in transportation and
gathering revenues which aligns the Statement No. 123(R) expense with the respective employees
cash compensation. The following table is a summary of this reclassification by quarter (in
thousands):

The 2005 SARs-related expense has also been
reclassified to conform to this presentation. The $2.7 million
of mark-to-market SARs expense was reclassed to transportation and
gathering revenues ($55,000), direct operating expense ($226,000),
exploration expense ($551,000) and general and administrative expense
($1.8 million). Unlike
the other forms of stock compensation, the deferred compensation plan
cost is directly tied to the change in our stock price and not
directly related to the functional expenses and therefore, is not allocated to
the functional categories.
(3) ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases, and accordingly, the results of operations are
included in our consolidated statements 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
$707.2 million and $167.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The purchases included $649.1 million and $153.0 million for proved oil and gas
reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with the remainder
representing unproved acreage.
Our purchases in 2006 include the acquisition in June of Stroud Energy, Inc., or Stroud, a
private oil and gas company with operations in the Barnett Shale in North Texas, the Cotton Valley
in East Texas and the Austin Chalk in Central Texas. To acquire Stroud, we paid $171.5 million of
cash (including transaction costs) and issued 6.5 million shares of our common stock. The cash
portion of the acquisition was funded with borrowings under our bank facility. We also assumed
$106.7 million of Strouds debt which was retired with borrowings under our bank facility. The
fair value of consideration issued was based on the average of our stock price for the five day
period before and after May 11, 2006, the date the acquisition was announced.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at closing. We are in the process of finalizing fair value estimates for certain assets
and liabilities, particularly pre-acquisition revenues and expenses; thus the allocation of purchase price is preliminary (in thousands):

The following unaudited pro forma data include the results of operations as if the Stroud
acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of 2005. The pro forma information for 2005
includes two material non-recurring amounts. The three months and the nine months ended September
30, 2005 pro forma information includes an $18.4 million pre-tax stock compensation expense related
to restricted and unrestricted shares issued to Stroud management and employees and a pre-tax $6.2
million loss on repurchase of mandatorily redeemable preferred units. The pro forma data is based
on historical information and does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have
occurred nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations (in thousands, except
per share data).

(4) ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As part of the Stroud acquisition (see discussion in Note 3), we purchased Austin Chalk
properties in Central Texas which we plan to sell. Management has been authorized to sell the
properties which are expected to be sold within the next nine months. We believe we have met the
criteria of SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets that
allow us to classify these assets as held for sale on our balance sheet. We will present the
results of operations (revenues less direct expenses, interest, impairment and taxes) as
discontinued operations in all future periods. Discontinued operations for the three months and
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are summarized as follows:

Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations based on our
ratio of consolidated debt to equity at the time of the acquisition. |

|
Impairment expense includes losses in fair value resulting from lower oil and
gas prices and production. Gains for subsequent increases in fair
value due to higher oil and gas prices will be recognized to the
extent impairment has been previously recognized. |
At
the acquisition date, Nymex oil and gas prices were $0.22 per barrel
and $0.29 per mcf
higher than September 30, 2006. The Company believes that the
reduction in oil and gas prices has reduced the fair value of assets
being held for sale by $25.0 million. The remainder of the
impairment and accretion amount is due to the changes in the discount
rate used to estimate fair value and the volumes produced since
the acquisition date.

same prospect area drilling or firmly planned. The $16.4 million of capitalized exploratory well
costs at September 30, 2006 was incurred in 2006 ($8.4 million), in 2005 ($5.6 million) and in 2004
($2.4 million).

(7) 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 for stock options
and stock appreciation rights recognized in the first nine months of 2006 includes (a) compensation
cost ($8.4 million) for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
December 31, 2005, based on the remaining service period and the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123 and (b) compensation cost ($2.7
million) for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the service
period and 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. Prior to the third
quarter of 2006, Statement No. 123(R) expense was included in
non-cash stock compensation. Beginning in 2006, stock compensation has been allocated to direct operating
expense ($1.0 million), exploration expense ($1.8 million), general and administrative expense
($8.0 million) and $225,000 to transportation and gathering revenues to align Statement No. 123(R)
expense with the employees cash compensation. All 2006 and 2005 periods presented have been restated to
present stock compensation on a consistent basis.
We also began granting stock settled stock appreciation rights, or SARs, in July 2005 as part
of our stock-based compensation plans to reduce the dilutive impact of our equity plans. Prior to
January 1, 2006, we accounted for these SARs grants under the recognition and measurement
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, which require expense to be recognized equal to the amount by
which the quoted market value exceeded 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. The 2005 SARs related expense has been allocated to direct
operating expense ($226,000), exploration expense ($551,000), general
and administrative expense ($1.8 million) and a $55,000
reduction to transportation and gathering revenues. Beginning 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, are being expensed over
the service period 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 are being
expensed over the service period 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 from continuing
operations before income taxes and net income for the first nine months are $5.1 million and $3.2
million lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under
Opinion No. 25. 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. As of September 30, 2006, there was $13.3 million of unrecognized
compensation related to restricted stock awards expected to be recognized over the next 3 years.
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.

Bank Debt
On October 25, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated $800.0 million revolving bank
facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets. The bank credit facility provides
for an initial commitment equal to the lesser of $800.0 million or the borrowing base. 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 October 25, 2006, the
borrowing base was $800.0 billion. At September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance under the bank
credit facility was $384.7 million and there was $415.3 million of borrowing capacity available
assuming the amended and restated credit facility was in effect on that date. As part of the
amendment, the loan maturity was extended to October 25, 2011. 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 date 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 6.7% and 4.6% for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The weighted average interest
rate on the bank credit facility was 6.3% and 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. A commitment fee is paid on the undrawn balance based on an annual rate of
between 0.25% and 0.375%. At September 30, 2006, the commitment fee was 0.375% and the interest
rate margin was 1.25%. At October 23, 2006, the interest rate (including applicable margin) was
6.6%.
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 is 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.
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.
7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016
In May 2006, we issued $150.0 million of 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016, or the
7-1/2% Notes. In August 2006, we issued an additional $100.0 million of 7-1/2% Notes; therefore,
$250.0 million of the 7-1/2% Notes is currently outstanding. We pay interest on the 7-1/2% Notes
semi-annually in May and November of each year. The 7-1/2% Notes mature
12
in 2016 and are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The August 2006 issuance of the 7-1/2%
Notes was issued at a discount which is amortized into interest expense over the life of the 7-1/2%
Notes.
We may redeem the 7-1/2% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2011 at
redemption prices from 103.75% of the principal amount as of May 15, 2011 and declining to 100% on
May 15, 2014 and thereafter. Prior to May 15, 2009, we may redeem up to 35% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 107.5% of principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest if any, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings; provided
that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of our 7-1/2% Notes remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and provided that such redemption
occurs within 60 days of the date of closing the equity sale. If we experience a change of
control, there may be a requirement to purchase all or a portion of the 7-1/2% Notes at 101% of the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The 7-1/2% Notes and the guarantees by
our subsidiary guarantors are, general, unsecured obligations and are subordinated to our bank debt
and will be subordinated to further senior debt that Range and our subsidiary guarantors are
permitted to incur under the bank credit facility and the indenture governing the 7-1/2% 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, the
6-3/8% Notes and the 7-1/2% Notes are full and unconditional and joint and several; any
subsidiaries, other than the subsidiary guarantors, are minor subsidiaries.
Debt Covenants
The debt agreements contain covenants relating to working capital, dividends and financial
ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 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 $449.1 million
was available under the bank credit facilitys restricted payment basket on September 30, 2006.
The terms of the 6-3/8% Notes, the 7-3/8% Notes and the 7-1/2% 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 September 30, 2006, $494.2 million was
available under the 6-3/8% Notes, the 7-3/8% Notes, and the 7-1/2% Notes restricted payment
baskets.
(10) DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES
At September 30, 2006, we had open swap contracts covering 69.5 Bcf of gas at prices averaging
$9.35 per mcf and 36.8 thousand barrels of oil at prices averaging $35.00 per barrel. We also had
collars covering 70.2 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range from $7.27 to
$10.17 per mcf and 4.2 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap prices that range
from $52.33 to $65.80 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 September 30, 2006, was a net unrealized
pre-tax gain of $108.4 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 production is sold. Oil and gas revenues were
decreased by $46.6 million and $84.6 million due to realized losses in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Oil and gas revenues were decreased by $13.5 million
and $41.4 million due to realized losses in the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
respectively. Other revenues in our consolidated statements of operations include ineffective
hedging gains on hedges that qualified for hedge accounting of $3.5 million and losses of $417,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other revenues includes
ineffective hedging gains of $184,000 and losses of $665,000 in the three months ended September
30, 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 nine months of 2006
which resulted in a gain of $83.7 million in the nine months then ended and a gain of $54.9 million
in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

We have used interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk under the variable
rate bank credit facility which may be adversely affected by volatility in market rates. Our
interest rate swap agreements ended on June 30, 2006.
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.
(11) 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 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
settlement of $725,000 was agreed to and reflected in general and administrative expense in the
fourth quarter of 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, the Court approved the negotiated
settlement and in July 2006, this lawsuit was settled at the negotiated amount. In managements
opinion, we are not involved in any litigation, the outcome of which would have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
As of September 30, 2006, we have contracts with two drilling contractors to use two drilling
rigs with terms of up to two years and minimum future commitments of $3.5 million in 2006, $12.8
million in 2007 and $2.2 million in 2008. Early termination of these contracts at September 30,
2006 would have required us to pay maximum penalties of $14.0 million. We do not expect to pay any
early termination penalties related to these contracts. We also entered into a new ten-year office
lease which 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.

(12) CAPITAL STOCK
We have authorized capital stock of 260 million shares, which includes 250 million shares of
common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock. All shares have been adjusted to reflect
the three-for-two common stock split effected on December 2, 2005. The following is a schedule of

Treasury Stock
In 2005, we bought in open market purchases, 201,000 shares at an average price of $14.00. As
of September 30, 2006, all of these shares had been used for equity compensation. The Board of
Directors has approved up to $10.0 million of additional repurchases of common stock based on
market conditions and opportunities.
(13) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND EQUITY PLANS
We have six equity-based stock plans, of which two are active. Under the active plans,
incentive and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights (or SARs), restricted stock awards,
phantom stock rights and annual cash incentive awards may be issued to directors and employees
pursuant to decisions of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which is made up of
independent directors. All awards granted under these plans have been issued at the prevailing
market price at the time of the grant. Information with respect to stock option and SARs

As of September 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference in value between
exercise and market price) of the awards outstanding was $115.5 million. The aggregate intrinsic
value and weighted average remaining contractual life of stock option awards currently exercisable
was $80.8 million and 3.53 years. As of September 30, 2006, the number of fully-vested awards and
awards expected to vest was 9.0 million. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average
remaining contractual life of these awards were $12.53 and 3.59 years and the aggregate intrinsic
value was $114.2 million. As of September 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to the
awards was $19.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.08
years.
Restricted Stock Grants
During the first nine months of 2006, 476,200 shares of restricted stock (5,100 shares from
treasury stock) were issued to directors and employees at an average price of $24.32. These grants
included 15,000 issued to directors, which vest immediately and 461,200 to employees with 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 $2.8 million and
$632,000 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
A summary of the status of our unvested restricted stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006,
and changes during the nine months then ended, is presented below:

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
16
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, changes in the fair value of the
liability are charged or credited to non-cash stock compensation expense each quarter. Based
on a decline in our stock price of $1.95 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $1.10
for the nine months then ended, we recorded non-cash mark-to-market income of $3.3 million in the
three months and $562,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Based on an increase in our
stock price of $7.81 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $12.10 for the nine months
then ended, we recorded non-cash mark-to-market expense of $16.6 million in the three months and
$25.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Stock appreciation rights (SARs) for 18,000 shares were outstanding but not included in the
computations of diluted net income per share for the three month and the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2006 because the exercise price of the SARs was greater than the average price of the
common shares and would be anti-dilutive to the computations.

(18) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No., 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new standard also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods and
disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 to determine the impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with managements discussion and
analysis contained in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on 10-Q.
Statements in our discussion may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties. We caution that a number of factors could cause future production,
revenues and expenses to differ materially from our expectations. For additional risk factors
affecting our business, see the information in Item 1A in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
subsequent filings. As discussed in Note 4, we plan to sell the Austin Chalk properties we
purchased as part of our Stroud acquisition. The Austin Chalk properties are reflected on our
consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Except where noted, discussions in
this report relate to our continuing activities.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
respective reporting periods. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment. Statement No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and supersedes APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement No.
123(R) eliminates the option of using the intrinsic value method of accounting previously
available, and requires companies to recognize in the financial statements the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value
of those awards. See Note 7 to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form
10-Q for more information. There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting
estimates subsequent to December 31, 2005.

Overview
Total revenues increased 61% for the third 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. For the third quarter of 2006, production increased 19%
from last year due to the continued success of our drilling program and recent acquisitions.
Realized oil and gas prices were higher by 2% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same
period of 2005 reflecting the expiration of our lower-priced oil and gas hedges. Our remaining
hedges reduced revenue by $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 and by $41.4 million in the
same period of 2005.
Higher production volumes and higher realized oil and gas prices have improved our profit
margins. However, it is our belief that Range and the oil and gas industry as a whole continues to
experience higher costs due to heightened competition for qualified employees, goods and services.
Also, while a significant portion of our production is hedged, market prices for oil and gas have
declined during the second and third quarter of 2006. On a unit cost basis, our direct operating
costs (excluding non-cash compensation expense) increased $0.18 per mcfe, which reflects a 24%
increase from the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2006. As of the end of the
quarter, some services costs have begun to level off and in some cases decline in response to lower
oil and gas prices and reduced demand. Other costs, such as interest expense, personnel and
general overhead, have continued to increase as we continue to grow our reserves, production volume
and drilling inventory.
21
Comparison of Quarter Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Net income increased $26.7 million to $51.3 million primarily due to higher realized oil and
gas prices, higher production volumes, a favorable mark-to-market value adjustment on oil and gas
derivatives and lower price fluctuations on our common stock held in our deferred compensation plan. Oil
and gas revenues for the third quarter of 2006 reached $172.6 million and were 22% higher than 2005
due to slightly higher oil and gas prices and a 19% increase in production. A 61% increase in
total revenues was partially offset by higher operating costs, DD&A, interest and exploration
expense.
Average realized price received for oil and gas during the third quarter of 2006 was $6.49 per
mcfe, up 2% or $0.16 per mcfe from the same quarter of the prior year. The average price received
in the third quarter for oil increased 10% to $46.10 per barrel and decreased 2% to $6.19 per mcf
for gas from the same period of 2005. The effect of our hedging program decreased realized prices
$0.51 per mcfe in the third quarter of 2006 versus a decrease of $1.84 per mcfe in the same period
of 2005.
Production volumes increased 19% from the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to continued
drilling success and our integration of recent acquisitions. Our production for the third quarter
was 289.3 mmcfe per day of which 56% was attributable to the Southwestern division, 36% to the
Appalachian division and 8% to the Gulf Coast division.
Other revenue increased in 2006 to $249,000 from a loss of $968,000 in 2005. The 2006 period
includes $184,000 of ineffective hedging gains. Other revenue for 2005 includes $665,000 of
ineffective hedging losses.
Direct
operating expense increased $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $24.8 million
due to higher oilfield service costs, higher volumes and the integration of our recent
acquisitions. Our operating expenses are increasing as we add new wells and maintain production
from our existing properties. We incurred $1.7 million ($0.06 per mcfe) of workover costs in 2006
versus $1.4 million ($0.06 per mcfe) in 2005. The workover costs were primarily attributable to
workovers on properties located in the Gulf of Mexico (continuing costs associated with the 2005
hurricanes) and the Southwestern properties. Direct operating expenses (excluding non-cash
compensation expense) increased $0.18 per mcfe from the same period
of 2005. This increase includes higher offshore well insurance ($0.04
per mcfe), surface facility maintenance ($0.03 per mcfe) and water
disposal and equipment costs ($0.04 per mcfe).
Production and ad valorem taxes are paid based on market prices, not hedged prices. These
taxes increased $1.5 million or 18% from the same period of the prior year due to higher volumes
and assessed values. Production and ad valorem taxes were $0.38 per mcfe in both 2006 and in 2005.
Exploration
expense increased $8.8 million from the same period of the prior year due
principally to higher seismic expenditures ($3.1 million) and higher dry hole expense ($4.9
million). Exploration expense includes exploration personnel costs of $1.8 million in 2006 versus
$1.4 million in 2005. The following table details our
exploration-related expenses for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

General
and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2006
increased $3.2 million from
2005 due to $2.8 million of Statement No. 123(R) expenses, higher salaries and benefits ($2.1
million) and higher restricted stock amortization ($802,000), somewhat offset by lower legal and
franchise tax expense. The 2005 period also includes
$1.8 million of SARs-related expense. On a per mcfe basis, general and administrative expense (excluding non-cash
compensation expense) decreased from $0.32 in 2005 to $0.31 in 2006.
Non-cash
stock compensation for the third quarter of 2006 decreased $20.1 million from 2005
primarily due to the decrease in market value of the common stock held in our deferred compensation
plan.
22
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 increased $7.0 million to $16.9 million due to
rising interest rates, higher debt balances and the refinancing of certain debt from floating to
higher fixed rates. In May and August 2006, we issued a total of $250.0 million of 7-1/2% Notes
which added $3.8 million of interest costs in the third quarter of 2006. The proceeds from the
issuance of the 7-1/2% Notes were used to retire lower interest rate floating bank debt. Average
debt outstanding on the bank credit facility was $412.9 million and $286.1 million for the third
quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively and the average interest rates were 6.7% and 4.6%,
respectively.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization, or DD&A, increased $13.3 million or 41% to $46.2
million in the third quarter of 2006 with a 19% increase in production and a 16% increase in
depletion rates. The acquisition of Stroud increased our depletion rates approximately 12% in the
three months ended September 30, 2006. The third quarter of 2006 includes impairment expense on an
offshore property of $2.4 million ($0.09 per mcfe) due to declining oil and gas prices. On a per
mcfe basis, DD&A increased from $1.47 in the third quarter of 2005 to $1.74 in the third quarter of
2006.
Income tax expense for 2006 increased to $39.5 million reflecting the 166% increase in income
from continuing operations before taxes compared to the same period of 2005. The third quarters of
2006 and 2005 provide for tax expense at an effective rate of approximately 37%. Current income
taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2006 of $615,000 represent state income taxes.
Discontinued operations includes the operating results of our Austin Chalk properties which
were acquired as part of the Stroud transaction. The three months ended September 30, 2006
includes $30.4 million of impairment expense due to lower oil and gas prices and production. The
impairment expense is the result of a decline in the fair value due to lower oil and gas prices and
production since the acquisition date.

months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Net income increased $89.9 million to $158.3 million primarily due to higher realized oil and
gas prices, higher production volumes, a favorable mark-to-market value adjustment on oil and gas
derivatives and lower price fluctuations on our common stock held in our deferred compensation plan. Oil
and gas revenues for the first nine months of 2006 reached $506.6 million and were 38% higher than
2005 due to higher oil and gas prices and a 15% increase in production. A 61% increase in total
revenues was partially offset by higher exploration, general and administrative and operating
costs, DD&A and interest expense.
Average realized price received for oil and gas during the first nine months of 2006 was $6.87
per mcfe, up 20% or $1.14 per mcfe from the same period of the prior year. The average price
received in the first nine months for oil increased 22% to $46.66 per barrel and increased 18% to
$6.73 per mcf for gas from the same period of 2005. The effect of our hedging program decreased
realized prices $0.63 per mcfe in the first nine months of 2006 versus a decrease of $1.32 per mcfe
in the same period of 2005.
Production volumes increased 15% from the same period of 2005 primarily due to continued
drilling success and our recent acquisitions. Our production for the first nine months of 2006 was
270.2 mmcfe per day of which 54% was attributable to the Southwestern division, 38% to the
Appalachian division and 8% to the Gulf Coast division.
Other revenue increased in 2006 to $3.3 million from a loss of $621,000 in 2005. The 2006
period includes $3.5 million of ineffective hedging gains. Other revenue for 2005 includes
$417,000 of ineffective hedging losses and $735,000 of net IPF expenses partially offset by a
$110,000 favorable legal settlement.
23
Direct
operating expense increased $15.9 million
in the first nine months of 2006 to $65.0
million due to higher oilfield service costs, higher volumes and additional costs due to the
integration of our recent acquisitions. Our operating expenses are increasing as we add new wells
and maintain production from our existing properties. We incurred $4.3 million ($0.06 per mcfe) of
workover costs in 2006 versus $5.1 million ($0.08 per mcfe) in 2005. The workover costs were
primarily attributable to workovers on properties located in the Gulf of Mexico (continuing costs
associated with the 2005 hurricanes) and the Southwestern properties. Direct operating expenses
(excluding non-cash compensation) increased $0.11 per mcfe from the same period of 2005. The nine
months ended September 30, 2006 includes $1.0 million ($0.01 per mcfe) of non-cash compensation
expense for stock-based compensation awards granted to field
employees versus $226,000 of SARs-related expense in the same period
of 2005.
Production and ad valorem taxes are paid based on market prices, not hedged prices. These
taxes increased $7.1 million or 33% from the same period of the prior year due to higher volumes
and increasing prices and assessed values. Production and ad valorem taxes increased to $0.38 per
mcfe in 2006 from $0.33 per mcfe in the same period of 2005.
Exploration
expense for the nine months of 2006 increased $14.2 million from 2005 due
principally to higher dry hole costs ($7.8 million) and higher seismic expenditures ($3.4 million).
Exploration expense includes exploration personnel costs of $4.9 million in 2006 versus $4.2
million in 2005. The nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes $1.8 million of non-cash
compensation expense as a result of adopting Statement No. 123(R). The following table details our
exploration-related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

General
and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2006
increased $14.2 million
from 2005 due to Statement No. 123(R) expense of $8.0 million, higher salaries and benefits ($4.3
million), higher amortization of restricted stock ($1.8 million), higher professional fees
($535,000) and higher office rental expense ($394,000). The 2005
period includes $1.8 million of SARs-related expense. On a per mcfe basis, general and
administrative expense (excluding non-cash compensation) increased from $0.31 in 2005 to $0.35 in
2006.
Non-cash
stock compensation for the first nine months of 2006 was $27.1 million lower than the
same period of 2005. This expense has declined due the decrease in market value of common stock
held in the deferred compensation plan.
Prior to the third quarter of 2006, all non-cash compensation expense recognized as a result
of adopting Statement No. 123(R) was included in the income statement line item non-cash stock
compensation expense. The nine months includes a year-to-date reclassification to allocate these
expenses to direct operating expense ($645,000), exploration expense ($1.2 million), G&A expense
($5.1 million) and a $145,000 reduction of transportation and gathering revenue, which aligned the
expense with the employees cash compensation. The
$2.7 million of SARs-related expense in 2005 has also been
reclassified to direct operating expense ($247,000), exploration
expense ($551,000), general and administrative expense
($1.8 million) and a $34,000 reduction of transportation and
gathering revenues.
Interest expense for the first nine months of 2006 increased $11.4 million to $39.5 million
due to rising interest rates and the refinancing of certain debt from floating to higher fixed
rates. In May and August 2006, we issued a total of $250.0 million of 7-1/2% Notes which added
$5.0 million of interest costs in the first nine months of 2006. The proceeds from the issuance of
the 7-1/2% Notes were used to retire lower interest bank debt. Average debt outstanding on the
bank credit facility was $318.7 million and $319.2 million for the first nine months of 2006 and
2005, respectively and the average interest rates were 6.3% and 4.3%, respectively.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization, or DD&A, increased $24.5 million or 26% to $117.6
million in the first nine months of 2006 with a 15% increase in production and a 10% increase in
depletion rates. The acquisition of Stroud increased our depletion rates approximately 5% in the
nine months ended September 30, 2006. The nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes an
impairment expense on an offshore well of $2.4 million ($0.03 per mcfe) due to declining oil and
gas prices. On a per mcfe basis, DD&A increased from $1.45 in the first nine months of 2005 to
$1.59 in the first nine months of 2006.
24
Income tax expense for 2006 increased to $103.3 million reflecting the 151% increase in income
from continuing operations before taxes compared to the same period of 2005. The first nine months
of 2006 and 2005 provide for a tax expense at an effective rate of approximately 37%. Current
income taxes of $1.8 million represent state income taxes. During the second quarter of 2006, we
adjusted our deferred tax balances to reflect the enactment of the new Texas franchise tax laws.
The impact of the adoption was not material to our statement of operations.
Discontinued operations includes the operating results of our Austin Chalk properties which
were acquired as part of the Stroud transaction. The nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes
$30.4 million of impairment expense due to lower oil and gas prices and production. The impairment
expense is the result of a decline in fair value due to declining oil and gas prices and
production since the acquisition date.
The following table presents information about our operating expenses per mcfe for the first
nine months of September 2006 and 2005:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our cash provided from operations was $348.1
million and we spent $693.7 million on capital expenditures (including acquisitions). During this
period, financing activities provided net cash of $364.0 million. At September 30, 2006, we had
$2.3 million in cash, total assets of $3.1 billion and a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 44.5%.
Long-term debt at September 30, 2006 totaled $981.4 million including $384.7 million of bank debt
and $596.7 million of senior subordinated notes. Available borrowing capacity under the bank
credit facility at September 30, 2006 was $415.3 million (which assumes the new amended and
restated credit facility was then in effect).
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, asset sales 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.
Debt
The debt agreements contain covenants relating to working capital, dividends and financial
ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 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 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 $449.1 million was available under the bank credit
facilitys restricted payment basket on September 30, 2006. The terms of the 6-3/8% Notes, the
7-3/8% Notes and the 7-1/2% 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 $494.2 million was available under the 6-3/8%
Notes, the 7-3/8% Notes and the 7-1/2% Notes restricted payment baskets on September 30, 2006.
25
We maintain an $800.0 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 October 23, 2006, the bank credit facility had a $800.0 million borrowing base of
which $383.3 million was available (assuming the amended and restated credit facility was in effect
on that date.)
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 September 30, 2006, we have entered into hedging agreements
covering 19.1 Bcfe, 78.8 Bcfe and 67.3 Bcfe for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Net cash
provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $348.1 million and
$219.0 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $714.5 million and $341.5
million, respectively. The 2006 period includes $339.6 million of additions to oil and gas
properties and $336.7 million of acquisitions. The 2005 period included $194.1 million of
additions to oil and gas properties and $145.3 million of acquisitions. Net cash provided from
financing for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $364.0 million and $105.5
million, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of borrowings to fund acquisitions
and capital expenditures and new fixed interest rate notes offset by lower proceeds from equity
issuances. During the first nine months of 2006 total debt increased $365.2 million.
Dividends
On September 1, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of two cents per share ($2.8
million) on our common stock, which was paid on September 30, 2006 to stockholders of record at the
close of business on September 15, 2006.
Capital Requirements
The 2006 capital budget is currently set at $588.0 million (excluding acquisitions) and based
on current projections, is expected to be funded with internal cash flow, borrowings under the bank
credit facility and proceeds from asset sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
$378.7 million of development and exploration spending was funded with internal cash flow and
borrowings under our credit facility.

Contractual Cash Obligations
The following summarizes our contractual financial obligations at September 30, 2006 and their
future maturities. We expect to fund these contractual obligation with cash generated from
operating activities and refinancing proceeds.

Due at termination date of our bank credit facility, which we expect to renew,
but there is no assurance that can be accomplished. Interest paid on our bank credit
facility would be approximately $25.8 million each year assuming no change in the interest
rate or outstanding balance. |

We expect to make annual interest payments of $14.8 million per year on our $200.0
million of 7.375% Notes, payments of $9.6 million per year on our $150.0 million of 6.375%
Notes and payments of $18.7 million per year on our $250.0 million of 7.5% Notes. |

Other Contingencies
We are involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business
as described in Footnote 11 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 September 30, 2006, swaps were in place covering 69.5 Bcf of gas at prices
averaging $9.35 per mcf and 36.8 thousand barrels of oil at prices averaging $35.00 per barrel. We
also have collars covering 70.2 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range
from $7.27 to $10.17 per mcf and 4.2 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap
prices that range from $52.33 to $65.80 per barrel. Their fair value at September 30, 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 gain of $108.4 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 nine months of 2006 resulting in a gain of
$83.7 million.

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 third
quarter of 2006, we received an average of $64.69 per barrel of oil and $6.12 per mcf of gas before
hedging compared to $59.90 per barrel of oil and $7.88 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.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No., 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new standard also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods and
disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 to determine the impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
28
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 price volatility. 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 September 30, 2006, we had oil and gas swap hedges in place covering 69.5 Bcf of gas and
36.8 thousand barrels of oil at prices averaging $9.35 per mcf and $35.00 per barrel. We also had
collars covering 70.2 Bcf of gas at weighted average floor and cap prices which range from $7.27 to
$10.17 per mcf and 4.2 million barrels of oil at weighted average floor and cap prices that range
from $52.33 to $65.80 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 gain of $108.4 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $46.6 million and $84.6
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 $3.5 million in the nine months of 2006 and a loss of $417,000 in the nine
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 nine months of 2006 as a gain of $83.7
million.
In the first nine months of 2006, a 10% reduction in oil and gas prices, excluding amounts
fixed through hedging transactions, would have reduced revenue by $55.2 million. If oil and gas
future prices at September 30, 2006 declined 10%, the unrealized hedging gain on September 30, 2006
of $108.4 million would have increased to a gain of $199.0 million.
Interest rate risk. At September 30, 2006, we had $981.4 million of debt outstanding. Of
this amount, $600.0 million bore interest at fixed rates averaging 7.2%. Senior debt totaling
$384.7 million bore interest at floating rates averaging 6.7%. A 1% increase or decrease in
short-term interest rates would affect interest expense by approximately $3.8 million.
29
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.
