RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Range Resources Corporation ("Range") is engaged in the development,
acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties primarily in the
Southwestern, Gulf Coast and Appalachian regions of the United States. The
Company also provides financing to small oil and gas producers through a
subsidiary, Independent Producer Finance ("IPF"). The Company seeks to increase
its reserves and production principally through development drilling and
acquisitions. Range holds its Appalachian oil and gas assets through a 50% owned
joint venture, Great Lakes Energy Partners L.L.C. ("Great Lakes"). The Company's
financial statements for the three years ended 2001 have been restated.
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and cash flow to meet
its obligations. However, a material drop in oil and gas prices or a reduction
in production and reserves would reduce its ability to fund capital
expenditures, reduce debt and meet its financial obligations. In addition, the
Company's high depletion, depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") rate may make
it difficult to remain profitable if oil and gas prices decline. The Company
operates in an environment with numerous financial and operating risks,
including, but not limited to, the ability to acquire reserves on an attractive
basis, the inherent risks of the search for, development and production of oil
and gas, the ability to sell production at prices which provide an attractive
return and the highly competitive nature of the industry. The Company's ability
to expand its reserve base is, in part, dependent on obtaining sufficient
capital through internal cash flow, borrowings or the issuance of debt or equity
securities.
(2) RESTATEMENT
In July 2002, the Company selected KPMG LLP as its new independent
auditor. The Company also chose to reaudit its consolidated financial statements
for the three years ended December 31, 2001, even though a reaudit was not
required. The reaudit was intended to provide additional assurance to
shareholders, insure the Company's ongoing access to the capital markets and to
avoid any possible impediment to future transactions. As part of the selection
process, KPMG performed its normal client acceptance procedures and advised the
Company that it believed a different accounting principle should have been used
to determine the gain recognized in September 1999 on the formation of the Great
Lakes joint venture. Specifically, the gain recognized in September 1999 should
be reduced from $39.8 to $30.9 million and income in subsequent periods should
increase as a result of lower depletion expense.
As a result of the actual reaudit, a series of additional issues came
to light which required restatement of the Company's previously reported
operating results and financial condition. These issues and their impact on
pretax income is outlined below.
In 1998, the Company acquired Domain Energy. In recording the
transaction, the purchase price was not appropriately allocated to the
individual oil and gas properties, causing a subsequent purchase price
adjustment to be miscalculated. As a result, impairments recognized at year-end
2001 were reduced. In addition, properties in Appalachia and Michigan, that had
been combined into accounting pools for the purpose of calculating depletion,
were subdivided into smaller pools and the depreciation rates historically
applied on non-oil and gas assets were reduced. As a result of these changes,
pretax income decreased $7.1 million in 1999, increased $4.8 million in 2000,
increased $7.6 million in 2001 and decreased $788,000 in the first three months
of 2002.
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"), under
which eligible employees can defer all or a portion of their cash compensation
and invest those amounts in a variety of investment options (including Company
common stock) which are placed in a rabbi trust (the "Trust"). Eligible
employees can also place common stock awards in the Trust. Pursuant to a
consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force, assets and liabilities of the Trust
must be consolidated on the Company's balance sheet. While the Trust's assets
and liabilities are of identical value, Company common stock held in the Trust
is treated as if it were treasury stock (it is deducted from outstanding shares
as shares held by an employee benefit plan). Furthermore, because the Plan
allows participants to diversify their investments, the liability to Plan
participants must be revalued on the balance
6
sheet each accounting period at the assets' then-quoted market prices and
increases or decreases between accounting periods reflected on the statement of
operations as increases or decreases in compensation expense. Historically, the
Company did not consolidate the Trust in its consolidated financial statements
nor added or subtracted changes in the market value of the Plan's assets on its
statement of operations. However, all material information about the Plan has
historically been disclosed in footnotes to the financial statements and in
proxy statements. In addition, the Company offers designated employees the
ability to purchase shares at a discount under a shareholder-approved Stock
Purchase Plan or to receive bonuses or a portion of their base pay in restricted
common stock issued at a discount from quoted market prices. Previously, such
shares had always been accounted for based on the Company's estimate of the fair
value of the stock granted or purchased. In the restated financial statements,
stock purchased through the Plan or granted to employees was expensed based on
the quoted market value without regard to the Company's estimate of fair value.
The difference between previously reported values and market value will be
included as additional compensation expense on the restated statements of
operations. As a result of these changes, pretax income decreased $561,000 in
1999, decreased $3.8 million in 2000, increased $1.7 million in 2001 and
decreased $892,000 in the first three months of 2002.
At June 30, 2002, the Company corrected a series of unreconciled
balance sheet accounts that had a net minimal statement of operations impact.
These balance sheet general ledger accounts were not supported by the underlying
subsidiary ledger detail when the Company's accounting department moved from
Ohio to Fort Worth. In the restatement, these corrections were reflected in the
periods in which they applied, rather than in the second quarter of 2002. As a
result, pretax income for periods prior to 1999 increased by $1.9 million,
increased by $627,000 in 1999, decreased $2.9 million in 2000, increased by
$190,000 in 2001 and increased by $88,000 in the first three months of 2002.
Finally, certain of GLEP's interest rate swaps had early cancellation
provisions but had been accounted for as cash flow hedges. Upon further review,
the swaps did not meet the documentation and effectiveness provisions of SFAS
133, requiring changes in fair value to be reported as interest expense on the
restated financial statements as opposed to changes in Other Comprehensive
Income. As a result, pretax income decreased $1.4 million in 2001 and will
increase by a corresponding amount in future periods. Additionally, the
ineffective portion of certain commodity hedges increased income $71,000 in
2001.
In total, all of the current changes (including the previously
announced change in the gain on the Great Lakes' transaction) increased net loss
by $15.7 million in 1999, decreased net income by $1.4 million in 2000 and
increased net income by $8.7 million in 2001. The changes decreased net income
by $170,000 in the three months of 2002 but are projected to increase net income
by approximately $1.9 million in the last nine months of 2002.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company, majority-owned subsidiaries and a pro rata share of the assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of Great Lakes. Liquid investments with
maturities of ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the presentation of prior periods to conform
with current classifications.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of products and services in
the period delivered. Revenues at IPF are recognized as received. The Company's
receivables are concentrated in the oil and gas industry. At December 31, 2001
and March 31, 2002, IPF had valuation allowances of $17.3 million and $18.4
million and the Company had other allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.9
million and $2.0 million, respectively. A decrease in oil prices could cause an
increase in IPF's valuation allowance.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Investments," pursuant to which the its
holdings of equity securities qualify as available-for-sale and are recorded at
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in Stockholders' equity as
a component of Other comprehensive income. A decline in the market value of a
security below cost deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings. Realized
gains and losses are reflected in income. During the first quarter of 2001 and
2002, the Company determined that the decline in the market value of an equity
security it holds was other than temporary and losses of $1.3 million and
$369,000, respectively, were recorded as reductions to Interest and other
revenues.
INDEPENDENT PRODUCER FINANCE
IPF acquires royalties in oil and gas properties from small producers. The
royalties are accounted for as receivables because the investment is recovered
from a percentage of revenues until a specified return is received. Payments
received believed to relate to the return are recognized as income; remaining
receipts reduce receivables. Receivables classified as current represent the
return of capital expected within twelve months. All receivables are evaluated
quarterly and provisions for uncollectible amounts established based on the
Company's valuation of its royalty interest in the oil and gas properties. At
March 31, 2002, IPF's valuation allowance totaled $18.4 million. Due to
favorable oil and gas prices in early 2001, certain of these receivables began
to generate cash flows which favorably impacted the valuation of the receivable.
As a result, a $1.1 million increase in receivables was recorded as a reduction
to IPF expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2001. In the first quarter
of 2002, based on price declines and the disappointing performance of certain
properties, the valuation account was increased $1.1 million which was recorded
as a increase to IPF expenses. During the quarter, IPF revenues were $1.2
million offset by $394,000 of general and administrative costs, $253,000 of
interest and the $1.1 million unfavorable valuation adjustment. During the prior
year period, revenues were $2.6 million and the $1.1 million favorable valuation
adjustment offset by general and administrative expenses of $519,000 and
$691,000 of interest. IPF's receivables have declined from a high of $77.2
million in 1998 to $40.4 million at March 31, 2002, as it has focused on
recovering its investments. During this period, IPF's debt declined from $60.1
million to $23.1 million. The Company is assessing alternatives relating to its
ownership of IPF.
10
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized pending determination of whether a
well is successful. Costs resulting in discoveries and development costs are
capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and unsuccessful
exploratory wells are expensed. Depletion is provided on the unit-of-production
method. Oil is converted to mcfe at the rate of six mcf per barrel. DD&A rates
were $1.31 and $1.35 per mcfe in the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2002.
Unproved properties had a net book value of $25.7 million and $24.6 million at
December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively.
TRANSPORTATION AND FIELD ASSETS
The Company's gas gathering systems are located in proximity to certain of
its principal fields. Depreciation on these systems is provided on the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of four to fifteen years.
The Company also receives third party income for providing certain field
services which are recognized as earned. These earnings approximated $500,000
and $400,000 for the three months ended March 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Depreciation on the associated assets is calculated on the straight-line method
based on estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Buildings are
depreciated over ten years.
OTHER ASSETS
The expense of issuing debt is capitalized and included in Other assets on
the balance sheet. These costs are generally amortized over the expected life of
the related securities. When a security is retired prior to maturity, related
unamortized costs are expensed. At March 31, 2002, these capitalized costs
totaled $2.8 million. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company generated a $8.3
million deferred tax asset which is included in Other assets.
GAS IMBALANCES
The Company uses the sales method to account for gas imbalances,
recognizing revenue based on cash received rather than gas produced. At March
31, 2002, a gas imbalance liability of $114,000 was included in Accrued
liabilities.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company follows SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
defined as changes in Stockholders' equity from nonowner sources, which is
calculated below (in thousands):

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management estimates and assumptions
that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from estimates. Estimates which may significantly impact the financial
statements include reserves, impairment tests on oil and gas properties, IPF
valuation allowance and the fair value of derivatives.

In June 2001, SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement"
established rules for the recognition and measurement of retirement obligations
associated with long-lived assets. The pronouncement requires that retirement
costs be capitalized as part of the cost of related assets and subsequently
expensed using a systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the
Statement in 2003. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS
No. 143 will be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the effect of SFAS No.
143's adoption on its financial position or results of operations.
In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The Statement establishes a single accounting
model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and provides additional
implementation guidance for assets to be held and used and assets to be disposed
of other than by sale. The statement requires operating losses from discontinued
operations to be recognized in the periods in which they are incurred. This
statement was adopted by the Company in 2002 and did not have a material impact
on the Company.
Beginning in 2001, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives," required
that derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities at
fair value. For derivatives qualifying as hedges, the effective portion of
changes in fair value is recognized in Stockholders' equity as Other
Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and reclassified to earnings when the transaction
is consummated. Ineffective portions of such hedges are recognized in earnings
as they occur. On adopting SFAS No. 133 in January 2001, the Company recorded a
$72.1 million net unrealized pre-tax hedging loss on its balance sheet and an
offsetting deficit in OCI. Due to the decline in oil and gas prices since then,
this loss had become a net $13.6 million unrealized pre-tax gain at March 31,
2002. SFAS No. 133 increases volatility in the earnings and stockholders' equity
of independent oil companies. Earnings are affected by the ineffective portion
of a hedge contract (changes in realized prices that do not match the changes in
the hedge price). Ineffective gains or losses are recorded in Interest and other
revenue while the hedge contract is open and may increase or reverse until
settlement of the contract. Stockholders' equity is affected by the increase or
decrease in OCI. Typically, when oil and gas prices increase, OCI decreases. The
reduced OCI at March 31, 2002 related to increases in oil and gas prices since
December 31, 2001. Of the $13.6 million unrealized gain at March 31, 2002, $10.1
million would be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve month period if
prices remained constant. Actual amounts that will be reclassified will vary as
a result of changes in prices.
The Company had hedge agreements with Enron North America Corp.
("Enron") for 22,700 Mmbtu per day at $3.20 per Mmbtu for the first three months
of 2002. At December 31, 2001, based on accounting requirements, an allowance
for bad debts of $1.3 million was recorded, offset by a $318,000 ineffective
gain included in income and a $1.0 million gain included in OCI related to these
amounts. The gain included in OCI at year-end 2001 was included in Interest and
other revenue in the first quarter of 2002. The last Enron contract expired in
March 2002. If the Company recovers any of its $1.6 million unsecured claim, the
recovery will be reported as income at that time.
The Company enters into contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations
in oil and gas prices. These contracts generally qualify as cash flow hedges.
Prior to 2001, gains and losses were determined monthly and included in revenues
in the period the hedged production was sold. Starting in 2001, gains or losses
on open contracts are recorded in OCI. The Company also enters into swap
agreements to reduce the risk of changing interest rates. These agreements
qualify as fair value hedges and related income or expense is recorded as an
adjustment to interest expense in the period covered.
Interest and other revenues in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations reflected ineffective hedging gains of $2.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and ineffective hedging losses of $1.7 million in
the three months ended March 31, 2002. Unrealized hedging gains of $13.6 million
(net of $2.0 million losses on interest rate swaps) and restated OCI of $18.1
million, net of taxes, were recorded on the balance sheet at March 31, 2002. See
Note 7.

(4) ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases. Purchase prices are
allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on estimates of fair
value. Acquisitions have been funded with internal cash flow, bank borrowings
and the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company purchased various
properties for $3.5 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended March
31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
(5) IPF RECEIVABLES
At March 31, 2002, IPF had net receivables of $40.4 million after a
$18.4 million valuation allowance. The receivables represent overriding royalty
interests payable from an agreed-upon share of revenues until a specified return
is achieved. The royalties are property interests that serve as security for
receivables. The Company estimates that $7.1 million of receivables at March 31,
2002 will be repaid in the next twelve months and are classified as current.
Since IPF's receivables primarily relate to oil properties, a decrease in the
oil price could cause an increase in IPF's valuation allowance.
(6) INDEBTEDNESS
The Company had the following debt and Trust Preferred outstanding as
of the dates shown. Interest rates at March 31, 2002, excluding the impact of
interest rate swaps, are shown parenthetically (in thousands):

Interest paid in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2002 totaled $12.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively. No interest expense
was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002,
respectively.
13
PARENT SENIOR DEBT
On May 2, 2002, the Company entered into an amended and restated $225.0
million revolving bank facility (the "Parent Facility"). The Parent Facility
provides for a borrowing base subject to redeterminations each April and
October. The initial borrowing base is $135.0 million. At the Company's
election, the borrowing base may increase by up to $10 million during any six
month borrowing base period based on a percentage of the face value of
subordinated debt retired by the Company. The loan matures in July 2005. The
weighted average interest rate was 8.2% and 4.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2002. The interest rate is LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% to
2.25%, depending on outstandings. A commitment fee is paid on the undrawn
balance based on an annual rate of 0.375% to 0.50%. At May 3, 2002, the
commitment fee was 0.375% and the interest rate margin was 2.00%. At May 3,
2002, the interest rate was 3.9%.
NON-RECOURSE DEBT
The Company consolidates its proportionate share of borrowings on Great
Lakes' $275.0 million secured revolving bank facility (the "Great Lakes
Facility"). The Great Lakes Facility is non-recourse to Range and provides for a
borrowing base subject to redeterminations each April and October. On May 3,
2002, the borrowing base was $205.0 million of which $61.0 million was
available. The loan matures in January 2005. The interest rate on the Great
Lakes Facility is LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on outstandings. A
commitment fee is paid on the undrawn balance at an annual rate of 0.25% to
0.50%. At March 31, 2002, the commitment fee was 0.375% and the interest rate
margin was 1.75%. The average interest rate on the Great Lakes Facility,
excluding hedges, was 8.1% and 4.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2002. After hedging (see Note 7), the rate was 11.6% and 4.9% for these
periods. At May 3, 2002, the interest rate was 3.7% excluding hedges and 6.6%
after hedging.
IPF has a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the "IPF
Facility"). The IPF Facility is non-recourse to Range and matures in January
2004. The borrowing base under the IPF Facility is subject to redeterminations
each April and October. On May 3, 2002, the borrowing base was $27 million of
which $2.3 million was available. The IPF Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus
1.75% to 2.25% depending on outstandings. A commitment fee is paid on the
undrawn balance at an annual rate of 0.375% to 0.50%. The weighted average
interest rate on the IPF Facility was 8.2% and 4.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As of May 3, 2002, the interest rate was
4.2%.
SUBORDINATED NOTES
The 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the "8.75% Notes") are
redeemable at 104.375% of principal, declining 1.46% each January to par in
2005. The 8.75% Notes are unsecured general obligations subordinated to senior
debt (as defined). During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company
exchanged $875,000 face amount of the 8.75% Notes for 175,000 shares of common
stock. Exchanges are not reflected on the cash flow statement. The gain on these
exchanges is included as a Gain on retirement of debt securities on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. On May 3, 2002, $78.2 million of the
8.75% Notes were outstanding.
The 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2007 (the "6%
Debentures") are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at a
price of $19.25 per share. The 6% Debentures mature in 2007 and are redeemable
at 103.0% of principal, declining 0.5% each February to 101% in 2006, remaining
at that level until it becomes par at maturity. The 6% Debentures are unsecured
general obligations subordinated to all senior indebtedness (as defined),
including the 8.75% Notes. During the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2002,
$1.6 million and $1.5 million of 6% Debentures were retired at a discount in
exchange for 193,000 and 245,000 shares of common stock, respectively. In
addition, $15,000 of 6% Debentures were repurchased for cash in the quarter
ended March 31, 2002. Extraordinary gains of $432,000 and $240,000 were recorded
in the first quarter of 2001 and 2002, respectively. Subsequent to March 31,
2002, the Company exchanged $5.6 million of 6% debentures for 906,000 shares of
common stock. On May 3, 2002, $22.4 million of 6% Debentures were outstanding.
14
TRUST PREFERRED - MANDITORILY REDEEMABLE SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARIES
In 1997, a special purpose affiliate (the "Trust") issued $120 million
of 5.75% Trust Convertible Preferred Securities (the "Trust Preferred"). The
Trust Preferred is convertible into common stock at a price of $23.50 a share.
The Trust invested the proceeds in 5.75% convertible junior subordinated
debentures of the Company (the "Junior Debentures"). The Junior Debentures and
the Trust Preferred mature in 2027 and are currently redeemable at 103.450% of
principal, declining 0.58% each November to par in 2007. The Company guarantees
payment on the Trust Preferred to a limited extent, which taken with other
obligations, provides a full subordinated guarantee. The Company has the right
to suspend distributions on the Trust Preferred for five years without
triggering a default. The accounts of the Trust are included in the consolidated
financial statements after eliminations. Distributions are recorded as interest
expense in the statement of operations and are tax deductible. In the quarter
ended March 31, 2002, $2.4 million of Trust Preferred was reacquired at a
discount in exchange for 283,000 shares of common stock. An extraordinary gain
of $915,000 was recorded. On May 3, 2002, $87.3 million face amount of the Trust
Preferred was outstanding.
The debt agreements contain covenants relating to net worth, working
capital, dividends and financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants at March 31, 2002. Under the most restrictive covenant, which is
embodied in the 8.75% Notes, $3.0 million of other restricted payments could be
made at March 31, 2002. As this covenant limits the ability to repurchase the 6%
convertible debentures and Trust Preferred, the Company may seek to amend it.
Under the Parent Facility, common dividends are permitted beginning January 1,
2003. Dividends on the Trust Preferred may not be paid unless certain ratio
requirements are met. The Parent Facility provides for a restricted payment
basket of $20.0 million plus 50% of net income (excluding GLEP and IPF) plus 66
2/3% of distributions, dividends or payments of debt from or proceeds from sales
of equity interests of GLEP and IPF plus 66 2/3% of net cash proceeds from
common stock issuances. The Company estimates that $26 million was available
under the bank's restricted payment basket on May 3, 2002.
(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents,
receivables, payables, debt and commodity and interest rate derivatives. The
book value of cash and equivalents, receivables and payables is considered
representative of fair value because of their short maturity. The book value of
bank borrowings is believed to approximate fair value because of their floating
rate structure.
A portion of future oil and gas sales is periodically hedged through
the use of option or swap contracts. Realized gains and losses on these
instruments are reflected in the contract month being hedged as an adjustment to
oil and gas revenue. At times, the Company seeks to manage interest rate risk
through the use of swaps. Gains and losses on interest rate swaps are included
as an adjustment to interest expense in the relevant periods.
At March 31, 2002, the Company had hedging contracts covering 43.5 Bcf
of gas at prices averaging $3.95 per mcf and 1.5 million barrels of oil
averaging $23.56 per barrel. Their fair value, represented by the estimated
amount that would be realized upon termination, based on contract prices versus
the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") price on March 31, 2002, was a net
unrealized gain pre-tax of $13.6 million. The contracts expire monthly through
December 2005. Gains or losses on open and closed hedging transactions are
determined as the difference between the contract price and the reference price,
generally closing prices on NYMEX. Transaction gains and losses 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 $23.4 million and increased by $11.7 million due to
hedging in the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Interest rate swaps are accounted for on the accrual basis with income
or expense being recorded as an adjustment to interest expense in the period
covered. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the related losses
17
were insignificant. Neither the parent company nor IPF had interest rate swaps
in effect. However, Great Lakes had nine interest rate swap agreements totaling
$100.0 million. Two agreements totaling $45.0 million at LIBOR rates of 7.1%
expire in May 2004. Two agreements totaling $20.0 million at 6.2% expire in
December 2002. Five agreements totaling $35.0 million at rates averaging 4.65%
expire in June of 2003. The fair value of these swaps at March 31, 2002
approximated a net loss of $4.0 million of which 50% is consolidated at Range.
While the agreements expiring in May 2004 may be terminated at the
counterparty's option on May 26, 2002, such termination is unlikely.
The combined fair value of gains on oil and gas hedges and net losses
on interest rate swaps totaled $11.6 million and appear as an Unrealized
derivative hedging gain on the balance sheet. Hedging activities are conducted
with major financial or commodities trading institutions which management
believes are acceptable credit risks. At times, such risks may be concentrated
with certain counterparties. The creditworthiness of these counterparties is
subject to continuing review.
(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation
and claims are likely to be resolved without material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In 2000, a royalty owner filed suit asking for class action
certification against Great Lakes and the Company in New York, alleging that gas
was sold to affiliates and gas marketers at low prices, inappropriate post
production expenses reduced proceeds to the royalty owners, and improper
accounting for the royalty owners' share of gas. The action sought proper
accounting, the difference in prices paid and the highest obtainable prices,
punitive damages and attorneys' fees. The case has been remanded to state court
in New York. While the outcome of the suit is uncertain, the Company believes it
will be resolved without material adverse effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
(9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In 1995, the Company issued $28.8 million of $2.03 Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock which was convertible into common stock at a price
of $9.50. As of December 31, 2001, the issue had been retired.

In 1999, shareholders approved a stock option plan (the "1999 Plan")
authorizing the issuance of up to 1.4 million options. In 2001, shareholders
approved an increase in the number of options issuable to 3.4 million. The
Company has submitted a proposal to shareholders to increase the number of
options issuable to 6.0 million at the May 2002 Annual Meeting. All options
issued under the 1999 Plan vest 25% per year beginning after one year and have a
maximum term of 10 years. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, 715,250
options were granted under the 1999 Plan at an exercise price of $4.43 a share
to all eligible employees, other than the Chairman and the President . At March
31, 2002, 2.0 million options were outstanding under the 1999 Plan at exercise
prices of $1.94 to $6.67. On April 1, 2002, the Chairman and the President were
granted 250,000 and 175,000 options, respectively. The Compensation Committee
intends to review the size of option awards to employees below the senior
executive level and may grant additional options to those employees within the
next few months.
In 1994, shareholders approved the Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "Directors' Plan"). In 2000, shareholders approved an increase in the
number of options issuable to 300,000, extended the term of the options to ten
years and set the vesting period at 25% per year beginning a year after grant.
Director's options are normally granted upon election of a Director or annually
upon their reelection at the Annual Meeting. At March 31, 2002, 120,000 options
were outstanding under the Directors' Plan at exercise prices of $2.81 to $6.00.
The Company maintains the 1989 Stock Option Plan (the "1989 Plan")
which authorized the issuance of up to 3.0 million options. No options have been
granted under this plan since 1999. Options issued under the 1989 Plan vest 30%
after a year, 60% after two years and 100% after three years and expire in 5
years. At March 31, 2002, 509,112 options remained outstanding under the 1989
Plan at exercise prices of $2.63 to $7.63 a share.

The Domain stock option plan was adopted when that company was acquired
with existing Domain options becoming exercisable into Range common stock. No
options have been granted under the Plan since the acquisition. At March 31,
2002, 131,702 options remained outstanding under the Plan at an exercise price
of $3.46 a share.
In total, 2.7 million options were outstanding at March 31, 2002 at
exercise prices of $1.94 to $7.63 a share as follows:

In 1997, shareholders approved a plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan")
authorizing the sale of 900,000 shares of common stock to officers, directors,
key employees and consultants. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, the right to
purchase shares at prices ranging from 50% to 85% of market value may be granted
and there is a one year hold requirement. To date, all purchase rights have been
granted at 75% of market. Due to the discount from market value, in the
restatement, the Company recorded additional compensation expense of $82,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 2001. In May 2001, shareholders approved an
increase in the number of shares authorized under the Plan to 1,750,000. Through
March 31, 2002, 1,121,319 shares have been sold under the Plan for $4.7 million.
At March 31, 2002, rights to purchase 203,000 shares were outstanding with terms
expiring in May 2003.

In 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a deferred
compensation plan (the Plan) to encourage employees to invest in the shares of
the Company. The Plan gives employees the ability to defer all or a portion of
their salaries and bonuses and invest in Common Stock of the Company at a
discount to market prices or make other investments at the employee's
discretion. The stock held in the benefit trust is treated in a manner similar
to treasury stock with an offsetting amount reflected as a deferred compensation
liability of the Company and is marked-to-market, with any necessary adjustment
to general and administrative expense. The Company recorded total expenses
related to deferred compensation of ($1.2 million) and $894,000 the first three
months of 2001 and 2002, respectively.
(12) BENEFIT PLAN
The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan which permits employees to
contribute up to 50% of salary (with certain limitations) on a pre-tax basis.
Historically, the Company has made discretionary contributions to the Plan
annually which fully vest after three years of service. In December 2000 and
2001, the Company contributed $483,000 and $554,000, respectively, of common
stock to the 401(k) Plan. Employees have a variety of investment options in the
401(k) Plan and are encouraged to diversify based on their personal investment
strategies.
20
(13) INCOME TAXES
The Company follows SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
pursuant to which the liability method is used. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and regulations that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. The significant components of deferred tax liabilities
and assets were as follows (in thousands):

-------- --------
Total (71,424) (60,830)
-------- --------
Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ (4,496) $ 8,284
======== ========
A deferred tax liability, generated by gains in Other Comprehensive Income
("OCI") of $4.5 million, was recorded on the balance sheet at year-end 2001. The
deferred tax asset of $12.2 million at December 31, 2001 was used to offset the
majority of the deferred tax liability generated by OCI. Therefore, the benefit
of the reduced liability will be recorded in 2002 as the hedges creating the
gains in OCI transfer to realized revenue. At March 31, 2002 a tax benefit of
$3.1 million was recorded on the income statement.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had regular net operating loss (NOL)
carryovers of $174.3 million and alternative minimum tax ("AMT") NOL carryovers
of $155.9 million that expire between 2012 and 2020. Regular NOL's generally
offset taxable income and to such extent, no income tax payments are required.
To the extent that AMT NOL's offset AMT income, no alternative minimum tax
payment is due. NOL's generated prior to a change of control are subject to
limitations. The Company experienced several changes of control between 1994 and
1998. Consequently, the use of $34.1 million of NOL's is limited to $10.2
million per year. No such annual limitation exists on the remaining NOL's. At
December 31, 2001, the Company had a statutory depletion carryover of $6.6
million and an AMT credit carryovers of $660,000 which are not subject to
limitation or expiration.

options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Remaining stock options, the 6% Debentures, the Trust Preferred and the $2.03
Preferred were not included because their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.
The Company has and will continue to consider exchanging common stock
or equity-linked securities for fixed income securities. Existing stockholders
may be materially diluted if substantial exchanges are consummated. The extent
of dilution will depend on the number of shares and price at which common stock
is issued, the price at which newly issued securities are convertible, and the
price at which fixed income securities are acquired.
(15) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company markets its production on a competitive basis. Gas is sold
under various types of contracts ranging from life-of-the-well to short-term
contracts that are cancelable within 30 days. Oil purchasers may be changed on
30 days notice. The price for oil is generally equal to a posted price set by
major purchasers in the area. The Company sells to oil purchasers on the basis
of price and service. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, three customers
accounted for 10% or more of oil and gas revenues. Management believes that the
loss of any one customer would not have a material long-term adverse effect on
the Company.
22
Between late 1999 and June 30, 2001, Great Lakes sold approximately 90%
of its gas production to FirstEnergy, at prices based on the close of NYMEX
contracts each month plus a basis differential. In mid-2001, Great Lakes began
selling its gas to various purchasers including FirstEnergy. Over the next
twelve months, Great Lakes expects to sell approximately a third of its gas to
FirstEnergy. At December 31, 2001, 91% of Great Lakes gas was being sold at
prices based on the close of NYMEX contracts each month plus a basis
differential. The remainder is sold at a fixed price.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and
results of operation are based upon consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally adopted in
the Unites States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Application of certain of the
Companies accounting policies, including those related to oil and gas revenues,
bad debts, oil and gas properties, marketable securities, income taxes and
contingencies and litigation, require significant estimates. The Company bases
its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company
believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements.
Proved oil and natural gas reserves - Proved reserves are defined by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as those volumes of crude oil,
condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas that geological and engineering
data demonstrate with reasonable certainty are recoverable from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are
volumes expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment
and operating methods. Although the Company's engineers are knowledgeable of and
follow the guidelines for reserves as established by the SEC, the estimation of
reserves requires the engineers to make a significant number of assumptions
based on professional judgment. Estimated reserves are often subject to future
revision, certain of which could be substantial, based on the availability of
additional information, including: reservoir performance, new geological and
geophysical data, additional drilling, technological advancements, price changes
and other economic factors. Changes in oil and natural gas prices can lead to a
decision to start-up or shut-in production, which can lead to revisions to
reserve quantities. Reserve revisions inherently lead to adjustments of
depreciation rates utilized by the Company. The Company can not predict the
types of reserve revisions that will be required in future periods.
Successful efforts accounting - The Company utilizes the successful
efforts method to account for exploration and development expenditures.
Unsuccessful exploration wells are expensed and can have a significant effect on
operating results. Successful exploration drilling costs and all development
capital expenditures are capitalized and systematically charged to expense using
the units of production method based on proved developed oil and natural gas
reserves as estimated by the Company's engineers. The Company also uses proved
developed reserves to recognize expense for future estimated dismantlement and
abandonment costs. Costs of exploration wells in progress at year-end 2001 were
not significant.
Impairment of properties - The Company continually monitors its long-lived
assets recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet to make sure that they are fairly presented. The Company must evaluate its
properties for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset could exceed its fair value. A significant amount of
judgment is involved in performing these evaluations since the results are based
on estimated future events. Such events include a projection of future oil and
natural gas sales prices, an estimate of the ultimate amount of recoverable oil
and natural gas reserves that will be produced from a field, the timing of this
future production, future costs to produce the oil and natural gas, and future
inflation levels. The need to test a property for impairment can be based on
several factors, including a significant reduction in sales prices for oil
and/or natural gas, unfavorable adjustment to reserves, or other changes to
contracts environmental regulations or tax laws. All of these same factors must
be considered when testing a property's carrying value for impairment. The
Company can not predict the amount of impairment charges that may be recorded in
the future.
Income taxes - The Company is subject to income and other similar taxes in
all areas in which it operates. When recording income tax expense, certain
estimates are required because: (a) income tax returns are generally filed
months after the close of its calendar year; (b) tax returns are subject to
audit by taxing authorities and audits
25
can often take years to complete and settle; and (c) future events often impact
the timing of when income tax expenses and benefits are recognized by the
Company. The Company has deferred tax assets relating to tax operating loss
carryforwards and other deductible differences. The Company routinely evaluates
all deferred tax assets to determine the likelihood of their realization. A
valuation allowance has been recognized for deferred tax assets due to
management's belief that certain of these assets are not likely to be realized.
The Company's deferred tax assets exceed deferred tax liabilities at
year-end 2001, before considering the effects of Other comprehensive income
("OCI"). In determining deferred tax liabilities, accounting rules require OCI
to be considered, even though such income (loss) has not yet been earned. The
inclusion of OCI causes deferred tax liabilities to exceed deferred tax assets
by $4.5 million of pre-tax income from the unrealized hedges included in OCI at
year-end before statutory taxes will be recorded on the income statement. Due to
the complexity of the accounting rules regarding taxes, the timing of when the
Company will record deferred taxes is uncertain.
The Company occasionally is challenged by taxing authorities over the
amount and/or timing of recognition of revenues and deductions in its various
income tax returns. Although the Company believes that it has adequate accruals
for matters not resolved with various taxing authorities, gains or losses could
occur in future years from changes in estimates or resolution of outstanding
matters.
Legal, environmental and other contingent matters - A provision for legal,
environmental and other contingent matters is charged to expense when the loss
is probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is often required
to determine when expenses should be recorded for legal, environmental and
contingent matters. In addition, the Company often must estimate the amount of
such losses. In many cases, management's judgment is based on interpretation of
laws and regulations, which can be interpreted differently by regulators and/or
courts of law. The Company's management closely monitors known and potential
legal, environmental and other contingent matters, and makes its best estimate
of when the Company should record losses for these based on information
available to the Company.
Other significant accounting policies requiring estimates include the
following: The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of products and
services in the period delivered. Revenues at IPF are recognized as earned. We
provide an allowance for doubtful accounts for specific receivables we judge
unlikely to be collected. At IPF, all receivables are evaluated quarterly and
provisions for uncollectible amounts are established. The Company records a
write down of marketable securities when the decline in market value is
considered to be other than temporary. Impairments are recorded when management
believes that a property's net book value is not recoverable based on current
estimates of expected future cash flows.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company spent $18.0
million on development, exploration and acquisitions and debt and Trust
Preferred were reduced by $3.9 million. At March 31, 2002, the Company had
$684,000 in cash, total assets of $644.5 million and, including the Trust
Preferred as debt, a debt to capitalization (including debt, deferred taxes and
stockholders' equity) ratio of 64%. Available borrowing capacity on the
Company's bank lines at March 31, 2002 was $20.4 million at the parent, a net
$28.0 million at Great Lakes and $11.9 million at IPF. On May 3, 2002, under the
amended and restated parent facility, there was $35.0 million available
borrowing capacity at the Parent. Long-term debt at March 31, 2002 totaled
$388.3 million. This included $99.6 million of parent bank borrowings, a net
$72.0 million at Great Lakes, $23.1 million at IPF, $78.2 million of 8.75%
Notes, $28.1 million of 6% Debentures and $87.3 million of Trust Preferred.
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, 703,000 shares of common
stock were exchanged for $1.5 million of 6% Debentures, $2.4 million of Trust
Preferred and $875,000 of 8.75% Notes. A $1.2 million extraordinary gain was
recorded as the securities were acquired at a discount.
The Company believes its capital resources are adequate to meet its
requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, future 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. There can be no assurance that internal cash flow and other
capital sources will provide sufficient funds to maintain planned capital
expenditures.
26
Cash Flow
The Company's principal sources of cash are operating cash flow and bank
borrowings. The Company's cash flow is highly dependent on oil and gas prices.
The Company has entered into hedging agreements covering approximately 70%, 40%,
10% and 4% of anticipated production from proved reserves on an mcfe basis for
the remainder of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The $19.0 million of
capital expenditures (which included $4.3 million for abandonment) in the three
months ended March 31, 2002 were funded with internal cash flow and bank
borrowings. Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2002 was $32.6 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Cash flow from
operations decreased from the prior year with lower prices and higher
exploration expense being somewhat offset by lower direct operating and interest
expense. Net cash used in investing for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2002 was $5.8 million and $19.1 million, respectively. The 2001 period
included $13.4 million of additions to oil and gas properties and $2.4 million
of IPF investments partially offset by $9.7 million of IPF receipts and $300,000
in asset sales. The 2002 period included $19.0 million of additions to oil and
gas properties and $1.6 million of IPF investments, partially offset by $1.5
million of IPF receipts. Net cash used in (provided by) financing for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 was $27.7 million and $(942,000),
respectively. During the first three months of 2002, total debt, including Trust
Preferred, declined $3.9 million. Parent bank debt increased but this was more
than offset by decreases in non-recourse bank debt of $3.7 million, Subordinated
Notes (8.75% Notes and 6% Debentures) of $2.4 million and the Trust Preferred of
$2.4 million. The net reduction in debt was the result of exchanges of common
stock.
Capital Requirements
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the $19.0 million of capital
expenditures was funded through cash flow and bank borrowings. The Company seeks
to fund its capital budget with internal cash flow. The 2002 capital budget of
$100.0 million will seek to increase production and expand the reserve base. The
Company currently anticipates the capital expenditure program will be entirely
funded with internal cash flow in 2002.
Banking
The Company maintains three separate revolving bank credit facilities: a
$225.0 million facility at the Parent; a $100.0 million facility at IPF and a
$275.0 million facility at Great Lakes. Each facility is secured by
substantially all the borrowers' assets. The IPF and Great Lakes facilities are
non-recourse to Range. As Great Lakes is 50% owned, half its borrowings are
consolidated in Range's financial statements. Availability under the facilities
is subject to borrowing bases set by the banks semi-annually and in certain
other circumstances. The borrowing bases are dependent on a number of factors,
primarily the lenders' assessment of the future cash flows. Redeterminations
require approval of 75% of the lenders, increases require unanimous approval.
At May 3, 2002, the Parent had a $135.0 million borrowing base of which
$35.0 million was available. IPF had a $27.0 million borrowing base, of which
$2.3 million was available. Great Lakes, half of which is consolidated at Range,
had a $205.0 million borrowing base, of which $61.0 million was available.
Hedging
Oil and Gas Prices
The Company regularly enters into hedging agreements to reduce the impact
of fluctuations in oil and gas prices. The Company's current policy, when
futures prices justify, is to hedge 50% to 75% of anticipated production from
existing proved reserves on a rolling 12 to 18 month basis. At March 31, 2002,
hedges were in place covering 43.5 Bcf of gas at prices averaging $3.95 per
Mmbtu and 1.5 million barrels of oil at prices averaging $23.56 per barrel.
Their fair value at March 31, 2002 (the estimated amount that would be realized
on termination based on contract versus NYMEX prices) was a net unrealized
pre-tax gain of $13.6 million. The contracts expire monthly and cover
approximately 70%, 40% and 4% of anticipated production from proved reserves on
an mcfe basis for the remainder of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Gains or losses on open
27
and closed hedging transactions are determined as the difference between
contract price and a reference price, generally closing prices on the NYMEX.
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 as it occurs.
Net decreases to oil and gas revenues from hedging for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 were $23.4 million and oil and gas revenues were increased by
$11.7 million from hedging for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Interest Rates
At March 31, 2002, Range had $388.3 million of debt (including Trust
Preferred) outstanding. Of this amount, $193.6 million bore interest at fixed
rates averaging 7.0%. Senior debt and non-recourse debt totaling $194.7 million
bore interest at floating rates which averaged 3.7% at that date. At times, the
Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to limit the impact of
interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate debt. At March 31, 2002, Great
Lakes had interest rate swap agreements totaling $100.0 million. Two agreements
totaling $45.0 million at rates of 7.1% expire in May 2004, two agreements
totaling $20.0 million at 6.2% expire in December 2002, and five agreements
totaling $35.0 million at rates averaging 4.65% expire in June 2003. The values
of these swaps are marked to market quarterly. The fair value of the swaps,
based on then current quotes for equivalent agreements at March 31, 2002, was a
net loss of $4.0 million, of which 50% is consolidated at Range. The 30-day
LIBOR rate on March 31, 2002 was 1.88%. A 1% increase or decrease in short-term
interest rates would cost or save the Company approximately $1.4 million in
annual interest expense. While the agreements expiring in May 2004 may be
terminated at the counterparty's option on May 26, 2002, such termination is
unlikely.
Capital Restructuring Program
As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company took a number of steps beginning in 1998 to strengthen its financial
position. These steps included asset sales and the exchange of common stock for
fixed income securities. These initiatives have helped reduce parent company
bank debt from $365.2 million to $99.6 million and total debt (including Trust
Preferred) from $727.2 million to $388.3 million at March 31, 2002. While the
Company's financial position has stabilized, management believes debt remains
too high. To return to its historical posture of consistent profitability and
growth, the Company believes it should further reduce debt. Management currently
believes the Company has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet its
obligations for the next twelve months. However, a significant drop in oil and
gas prices or a reduction in production or reserves would reduce the Company's
ability to fund capital expenditures and meet its financial obligations.
INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES
The Company's revenues, the value of its assets, its ability to obtain
bank loans or additional capital on attractive terms have been and will continue
to be affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices are subject
to significant fluctuations that are beyond the Company's ability to control or
predict. During the first three months of 2002, the Company received an average
of $22.66 per barrel of oil and $3.26 per mcf of gas after hedging. Although
certain of the Company's costs and expenses are affected by the general
inflation, such inflation does not normally have a significant effect on the
Company. However, industry specific inflationary pressure built up in late 2000
and 2001 due to favorable conditions in the industry. While product prices
declined in late 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, the cost of services in the
industry have not declined by the same percentage. Further increases in product
prices could cause industry specific inflationary pressures to again increase.

Comparison of 2002 to 2001
Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2002
Net income in the first quarter of 2002 totaled $4.3 million, compared to
$20.0 million in the prior year period. Gains on retirement of securities of
$432,000 and $1.2 million are included in the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2002, respectively. Production declined to 149.1 Mmcfe per day, a 1%
decrease from the prior year period. The decline was due to lower production at
Matagorda Island 519. Late in 2001, the operator of Matagorda Island 519 began a
workover on the L-4 well with the intent of adding production from a shallower
formation. During the workover, the well was damaged and attempts to bring it
back have failed to date. Revenues declined primarily due to a decrease in
average prices per mcfe to $3.30. The average prices received for oil decreased
16% to $22.66 per barrel and 23% for gas to $3.26 per mcf. Production expenses
decreased 27% to $9.2 million as a result of significantly lower production
taxes and workover costs in the Gulf of Mexico. Operating cost (including
production taxes) per mcfe produced averaged $0.69 in 2002 versus $0.93 in 2001.
Transportation and processing revenues decreased 21% to $774,000 with
significantly lower NGL prices somewhat offset by increased volumes. IPF
recorded income of $1.2 million, a decrease of $1.4 million from the 2001
period. IPF expenses in 2001 include a $1.1 million favorable valuation
allowance adjustment. The 2002 period includes a $1.1 million unfavorable
valuation allowance adjustment. IPF declined from the previous year due to lower
oil and gas prices and a smaller portfolio balance. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2002, IPF expenses included $394,000 of administrative costs and
$253,000 of interest, compared to prior year period administrative expenses of
$519,000 and interest of $691,000.
Exploration expense increased $4.2 million to $5.3 million, primarily due
to additional seismic activity and $3.5 million of dry hole costs in East Texas.
General and administrative expenses increased 116% to $4.5 million in the
quarter primarily due to mark-to-market non-cash compensation expenses of $2.1
million related to the deferred compensation plan.
29
Interest and other income decreased from a positive $1.5 million in 2001
to a loss of $2.0 million. The 2001 period included $2.3 million of ineffective
hedging gains, $298,000 of gains on asset sales offset by a $1.3 million write
down of marketable securities. The 2002 period included $1.7 million of
ineffective hedging losses and a $369,000 write down of marketable securities.
Interest expense decreased 45% to $5.4 million as a result of the lower
outstanding debt and falling interest rates. Total debt was $428.4 million and
$388.3 million at March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The average interest
rates were 8.2% and 5.3%, respectively, at March 31, 2001 and 2002 which
includes both fixed and variable rate debt.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") increased 2% from the
first quarter of 2001. The per mcfe DD&A rate for the first quarter of 2002 was
$1.35, a $0.04 increase from the rate for the first quarter of 2001. The DD&A
rate is determined based on year-end reserves (which are evaluated based on a
published ten-year price strip) and the net book value associated with them and,
to a lesser extent, deprecation on other assets owned. The Company currently
expects its DD&A rate for the remainder of 2002 to approximate $1.38 per mcfe.
The high DD&A rate will make it difficult for the Company to remain profitable
if commodity prices fall materially.

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 the Company's
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 Range views and manages its ongoing market risk
exposures. The Company's market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for
purposes other than trading.
Commodity Price Risk. Range's major market risk exposure is to oil and gas
pricing. Realized pricing is primarily driven by worldwide prices for oil and
market prices for North American gas production. Oil and gas prices have been
volatile and unpredictable for many years.
The Company periodically enters into hedging arrangements with respect to
its oil and gas production. Pursuant to these swaps, Range receives a fixed
price for its production and pays market prices to the contract counterparty.
This hedging is intended to reduce the impact of oil and gas price fluctuations
on the Company's results and not to increase profits. Realized gains or losses
are generally recognized in oil and gas revenues when the associated production
occurs. Starting in 2001, gains or losses on open contracts are recorded either
in current period income or other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The gains or
losses realized as a result of hedging are substantially offset in the cash
market when the commodity is delivered. Of the $13.6 million unrealized pre-tax
gain included in OCI at March 31, 2002, $10.1 million would to be reclassified
to earnings over the next twelve month period if prices remained constant. The
actual amounts that will be reclassified will vary as a result of changes in
prices. Range does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading
purposes.
As of March 31, 2002, oil and gas hedges were in place covering 43.5 Bcf
of gas and 1.5 million barrels of oil. Their fair value, represented by the
estimated amount that would be realized on termination based on contract versus
NYMEX prices, was a net unrealized pre-tax gain of $13.6 million at March 31,
2002. These contracts expire monthly through December 2005 and cover
approximately 70%, 40%, 10% and 4% of anticipated production from proved
reserves on an mcfe basis for the remainder of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005,
respectively. Gains or losses on open and closed hedging transactions are
determined as the difference between the contract price and the reference price,
generally closing prices on the NYMEX. Transaction gains and losses are
determined monthly and are included as increases or decreases to oil and gas
revenues in the period the hedged production is sold. Net realized losses
incurred relating to these swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were
$23.4 million and net realized gains were $11.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2002.
In the first three months of 2002, a 10% reduction in oil and gas prices,
excluding amounts fixed through hedging transactions, would have reduced revenue
by $1.4 million. If oil and gas future prices at March 31, 2002 had declined
10%, the unrealized hedging gain at that date would have increased $18.5
million.
At March 31, 2002, Range had $388.3 million of debt (including Trust
Preferred) outstanding. Of this amount, $193.6 million bore interest at fixed
rates averaging 7.0%. Senior debt and non-recourse debt totaling $194.7 million
bore interest at floating rates averaging 3.7%. At March 31, 2002, Great Lakes
had nine interest rate swap agreements totaling $100.0 million (See Note 7)
which had a fair value loss of $2.0 million at that date. A 1% increase or
decrease in short-term interest rates would cost or save the Company
approximately $1.4 million in annual interest expense.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation and
claims are likely to be resolved without material adverse effect on its
financial position or results of operations. In February 2000, a royalty owner
filed suit asking for class certification against Great Lakes and the Company in
New York, alleging that gas was sold to affiliates and gas marketers at low
prices and inappropriate post production expenses reduced proceeds to the
royalty owners and
31
that the royalty owners' share of gas was improperly accounted for. The action
sought a proper accounting, an amount equal to the difference in prices paid and
the highest obtainable prices, punitive damages and attorneys' fees. While the
outcome is uncertain, Great Lakes believes the suit will be resolved without
material adverse effect on its financial position or result of operations.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
